Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

He called them to let them know he was safe before he drove off.

Now there have been replies.

Neither Tsuchimikado Mari nor Hoshino Rin said anything.

Hotaru Hoshino posted a selfie, showing only her upper body.

Just as Haruhiko was wondering, she asked, "Has it grown a little bit?"

He finally understood what Hoshino Hotaru wanted to say, which left him somewhat amused and exasperated.

Haruhiko had mentioned Yukihime and Tsuchimikado Mari to her before.

She made the comparison in secret.

Of course, they lost badly.

Especially her figure.

"some."

Haruhiko smiled and comforted her, saying, "You're still young."

This is not a lie.

Hotaru Hoshino is just a girl, only nineteen years old, and hasn't reached her limit yet.

That being said, Tsuchimikado Mari and Yukihime are two goals that are too far away for her.

"I like you no matter what you are like."

Haruhiko thought for a moment and then added.

This correct answer clearly made Hoshino Hotaru very happy.

She replied with a smiley face.

Haruhiko chatted with her for a few more minutes.

Hotaru Hoshino spends a lot of time at Izumo Shrine, and is actually quite lonely.

Her liking for Haruhiko might not be without this reason.

The chat ended temporarily when Yuki came out of the kitchen.

Haruhiko got up to eat.

Strangely enough, even though I didn't eat yesterday and was constantly expending energy, I still wasn't hungry.

It can only be attributed to the magic of the hot springs and snowfields.

After the meal, Yukihime raised her hand and tapped Haruhiko's forehead.

A surge of psychic energy carrying a wealth of information poured in.

Fourth-tier spell, Snow Maiden - Storm.

"Although you have been focusing on swordsmanship recently, as a member of the Yuki-onna clan, you should learn a few more spells."

Yukihime withdrew her hand, picked up her bowl and chopsticks, and said.

Haruhiko nodded.

His new title, Snow Child, increases the power of the Snow Maiden clan's spells by 30%.

This is actually a pretty significant boost.

Even the previous Queen Iso-hime only increased by 10%.

With 30% of his power, excluding magical tools and talismans, he would be invincible among his peers.

And Yukihime is right.

He wanted to help her strengthen the Yuki-onna clan.

It wouldn't make sense if someone didn't know some magic.

Regarding the Yuki-onna legacy, Haruhiko already knew one.

The third-tier Snow Woman - Absolute Zero.

This is the second one.

As the name suggests, it summons a storm.

It is a large-scale destructive spell.

Haruhiko felt it was quite good for grinding monsters and leveling up.

He got up and walked into the courtyard.

Now that I'm at the South Campus of the University of Tokyo, it's inconvenient for me to put my ideas into practice.

But getting familiar with it is possible.

Night falls.

After thoroughly understanding Yuki-onna: Storm, Haruhiko began practicing swordsmanship again.

"Go take a shower."

Suddenly, Yukihime's voice rang out.

Haruhiko put away the red phoenix in his hand.

He walked into the living room.

But he was surprised to find that Yukihime hadn't followed.

He looked at her in surprise.

"Take a two-day break."

Yukihime added meaningfully, "I've already washed."

Haruhiko immediately understood.

Actually, he didn't have that idea.

But it's hard to resist the temptation when taking a shower.

It's better that Yukihime isn't with them.

The quiet night has come to an end.

on Tuesday.

Haruhiko got up very early.

I feel quite energetic because I didn't expend any energy last night.

After having breakfast, Haruhiko went to school.

On the way, he received a message from Tsuchimikado Mari.

Tell him to meet her at the school gate after class.

Haruhiko thought to himself, "This is troublesome."

Knowing Tsuchimikado Mari as he did, it was difficult for him to avoid it.

I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Yukihime by not getting two days of rest.

The morning class was about archaeology.

The Takamagahara ruins are now a hot topic.

Many of the sixteen major factions of the Psionic Council are young people studying at the University of Tokyo.

The Edo Archaeological Bureau goes without saying.

They recruit from the University of Tokyo every year.

Haruhiko then discovered that the number of students attending his classes had increased by one-fifth compared to before.

Fortunately, the classroom was big enough.

240. Chapter 239 The Drunken Tachibana Yui

After class, Haruhiko left the classroom.

A red car was already waiting not far from the school gate.

He crossed the road and walked forward.

The window rolls down.

It was Tsuchimikado Mari's cold and beautiful face.

"You're a little different."

"what?"

Haruhiko was somewhat puzzled.
