Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Speed ​​​​talisman!

Haruhiko immediately appeared in front of Hoshino Rin.

Priest - Star Shield!

He threw out the talisman.

And there are two of them.

The temporary spiritual tool he received from Koji Nishimura has now come to the end of its mission.

Chapter 28 Post-War Relaxation

The red energy flow struck the first Star Shield.

With a cracking sound, the shield shattered, and then came into close contact with the second Star Shield.

This time it lasted a little longer, about half a second.

There is enough time.

Haruhiko turned around, stuck a speed charm on Hoshino Rin, and immediately picked her up and left.

The next moment, a red stream of air fell, like a depth charge, creating a small explosion.

Countless water droplets splashed in all directions.

Haruhiko reacted quickly, using two spirit armor talismans to block the aftershocks, preventing the two from getting soaked.

"Um... put me down..."

Hoshino Rin was suspended in mid-air, her soft, delicate body completely filling Haruhiko's embrace.

Although it was very warm, it was the first time she had been so intimate with a man, and her pretty face turned bright red.

Haruhiko bent down slightly, withdrew his left hand from the girl's legs, and then slowly released his right hand that was holding her back.

Hoshino Rin regained her footing, with two lingering sunset glows on her face.

She lowered her head and said softly, "Thank you."

"There's nothing to thank me for; you deserve the most credit."

Haruhiko shook his head and said, "You rest for a while, I'll go see if there are any clues."

He knew her personality and thoughtfully gave her space to ease her shyness.

Hoshino Rin watched his retreating figure, a hint of warmth appearing in her eyes.

Haruhiko covered his nose and walked up to the middle-aged man.

His dying counterattack turned his body into a withered skin, with nothing of value to be found.

He turned to look at the pipe opening.

The middle-aged man came from there before.

Although he was transformed into a demon, he was still human and maintained a human way of life.

Haruhiko walked into the pipe entrance and found a simple room inside.

There are beds, tables, chairs, and other items.

He searched everywhere and finally found the middle-aged man's identification.

A driver's license.

It's worth mentioning that there are no ID cards in Japan.

Just like the game hints, it's called Ōmiya Naotsune.

Once you have his name, you can investigate his background and the people he may have come into contact with.

However, Haruhiko probably won't be able to find any clues, just like Tanno Hazuki before him.

The demon horde appeared in the sewers, but the Imperial Palace did not react.

The most likely explanation is that there has been a traitor.

In other words, it is the masterpiece of a wealthy family.

Haruhiko thought about returning to Hoshino Rin's side.

She was on the phone at that moment.

After listening for a while, Haruhiko roughly guessed who the other person was.

The person in charge of the Bunkyo Ward of the Imperial Palace.

"How about it?"

Hoshino Rin hung up the phone and asked, "Did you find anything?"

"drving license."

Haruhiko handed her the driver's license and said.

"Give it to the people at the Imperial Palace later."

Hoshino Rin glanced at it and said.

The two didn't have to wait long; a few minutes later, a middle-aged man arrived with four young men.

"Miss Hoshino".

The middle-aged man put on a fawning smile and said, "I am Takeshi Eto."

"Did you see the demonic corpses on the ground?"

Although Hoshino Rin had a smile on her face, she exuded an extremely strong aura.

"I...I see it..."

Takeshi Eto's breath hitched, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

He was in the wrong, and he had encountered someone he couldn't afford to offend.

They're in a complete panic right now.

"I need an explanation."

Hoshino Rin said without any mercy, "Why didn't you notice when the Otherworldly Demons appeared?"

"This...this...it might be a problem with the monitoring machine."

Takeshi Eto's heart tightened, and he stammered.

"machine?"

Hoshino Rin narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "Is it really a machine?"

"Miss Hoshino, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly when I get back and give you an explanation!"

Takeshi Eto trembled slightly with fright and quickly assured him.

If it's not a machine problem, then it's a human problem.

He cannot bear this responsibility.

"What about our commission?"

Hoshino Rin suddenly changed the subject.

Takeshi Eto paused for a moment, then understood her implied meaning.

"This matter was wrong of our Grand Palace, and the request will be upgraded to the third level."

He gritted his teeth and said resolutely, "How about we each receive five million yen and a second-tier spiritual tool?"

"So be it."

Hoshino Rin handed him the driver's license and said, "I hope the Imperial Palace will solve this case soon."

Under normal circumstances, a third-tier commission will reward one million yen and a second-tier spirit tool.

Eto Takeji's offer was more than double.

This is undoubtedly hush money.

"sure!"

Takeshi Eto wiped his forehead, turned around and yelled at the four young men, "Aren't you going to get to work?!"

Seeing this, Hoshino Rin ignored her and looked at Haruhiko.

He gave a thumbs up, opened and closed his mouth, and uttered two words: "Awesome."

It has to be said that Hoshino Rin's performance just now made him realize that she is indeed the heir to the Izumo Shrine.

There is nothing to criticize in terms of either momentum or technique.

She exudes a completely different charm than she does at other times.

Hmm, that's quite interesting.

Hoshino Rin avoided Haruhiko's gaze and said, "Let's go back."
