Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

She opened the car window and watched Haruhiko until he completely disappeared.

Turning her gaze away, Hoshino Rin turned her head and subconsciously patted her chest.

The seat that was originally empty is now occupied by Hotaru Hoshino.

"If you keep appearing and disappearing like this, you'll scare me sick sooner or later."

Hoshino Rin couldn't help but retort.

"Feel sorry."

Hotaru Hoshino's lips moved slightly.

No sound.

But Hoshino Rin already knew what she was talking about.

"go home."

Hoshino Rin sighed and patted her head.

A look of worry flashed in her eyes.

The appearance of a deity will inevitably drive the Imperial Palace even more mad.

Danger, it is indeed dangerous.

But the opportunity is right in front of us.

For thousands of years, both humans and monsters have been trapped at the fifth level, unable to break through.

The gods are the only known beings that can surpass the fifth rank.

As a shrine maiden, Hoshino Rin instinctively resisted this blasphemous act.

But she knew she couldn't stop it.

Haruhiko stood at the door.

Three seconds later, the door opened automatically.

"Welcome home."

Yuki hugged him, stroking him up and down. After confirming that there were no problems, she said, "It seems to be going quite smoothly."

"Near miss."

Haruhiko felt her smooth palms and said, "And the harvest was quite good."

He was referring to the fact that he had obtained a great deal of information about the ruins of Takamagahara.

In his previous life, he had two great pleasures in playing games.

The first step is to collect illustrations.

Second, explore the unknown.

If it's an online game, add another one: dominate the battlefield.

Although things don't always go as planned, I often get utterly defeated by skilled players and lose my game in disgrace.

Haruhiko and Yukihime entered the living room.

He has just been in battle and now needs to recover his psionic energy.

Yukihime understood.

She gathered her white hair and tied it into a ponytail.

"Sit down."

A gentle smile appeared on Yukihime's stunning face.

As she spoke, her red lips parted slightly, revealing two rows of neat, white teeth.

Haruhiko began to meditate.

Soon, he felt himself being wrapped in a soft body.

Two hours later, Haruhiko opened his eyes.

What comes into view is Yukihime's fair and delicate shoulders.

Because she was sitting sideways, her loose nightgown slipped down, exposing her skin.

Haruhiko's gaze unconsciously drifted downwards, where he saw an undulating abyss, unfathomably deep.

Yukihime sensed something was wrong and woke up.

"Um... I'm hungry..."

Haruhiko quickly changed the subject, suggesting that she go to the kitchen to cook.

"I bought some fruit to fill my stomach first."

Yukihime's eyes were filled with shimmering lake light, as if they could seep out water.

She slowly peeled the grape skins with her hands, then put the flesh into Haruhiko's mouth.

After grapes, it's cherries, and then coconut jelly.

After finishing his meal, Haruhiko felt he was about half full.

After feeding the fruit, Yukihime went to the kitchen.

"Master, I bought fruit too!"

Izumi flew over from who-knows-where.

Her face was flushed, as if she had just witnessed what happened.

"..."

Haruhiko was momentarily speechless.

He was both annoyed and helpless, so he reached out and flicked her forehead hard with his finger.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

Izumi covered her head, her voice trembling with a hint of tears and complaint, and said, "Master, you were too rough! Be gentle!"

Haruhiko stretched.

He took out his cell phone.

The 500,000 yen payment for completing the commission has been transferred.

In addition, there was the message that Hoshino Rin had sent him before.

"Thank you for today. I have already told my mother about the specific situation, and she will handle it."

Haruhiko was meditating, so he didn't reply immediately.

He suddenly remembered something, went to his room, turned on his computer, and logged into the school library.

He quickly found the information he needed.

Deities can cast spells without chanting.

The same applies to divine messengers recognized by the gods.

The reason why Hidaka Yuki's instantaneous spellcasting technique was previously explained was reasonable.

So what's the story with Tachibana Yui?

Is it a supernatural power?

Supernatural powers are special spells, innate spells.

It is often found among demons and monsters.

Humans are few in number.

For example, Yukihime.

She can control the wind and snow; that's her talent, and she doesn't need to chant spells.

But Tachibana is human.

When she and Haruhiko were exploring the spiritual veins before, they had used spells without chanting.

Is it a special technique or spiritual tool used by a fifth-tier powerhouse?

Haruhiko left the room.

He could actually go ask Tachibana Yui.

But it's best not to delve into such a secret.

Haruhiko returned to the living room and turned on the TV.

The result was all advertisements for Tachibana Yui.

Because there are still thirteen days until September 9th, less than two weeks.

Haruhiko has already received the concert tickets, and they're in the front row again.

He had originally planned to take Hoshino Rin with him.
