Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Yukihime's worries turned into a pleasant surprise.

With her abilities, she naturally noticed Haruhiko's difference.

This struck her as incredible.

Because the speed is too fast.

"Is there anything that's bothering you?"

Without waiting for Haruhiko's answer, Yukiji searched up and down.

"I am fine."

Haruhiko's body trembled slightly as he grabbed her mischievous hand and said.

Yukihime looked at him with a complicated expression.

If this talent can be developed, it might even reach the fifth level.

Moreover, Haruhiko's advancement was a normal one, making him even more remarkable.

As far as Yuki knew, many of the heirs of those powerful families actually took shortcuts to advance their ranks.

Although it is fast, it is inferior in terms of combat strength among its peers.

However, they possess a vast number of talismans and magical artifacts, which compensate for their shortcomings.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Haruhiko asked confused.

"I'm hesitating, should I try to steal him from Dong Yu?"

Yukihime chuckled softly and answered with a smile.

Stealing people?

Haruhiko didn't understand what she meant.

But Yukihime did not explain further.

She pinched Qingyan's cheek and said, "Don't scare me like that next time. Just tell me when you're advancing."

Izumi flew over, hands on her hips, cheeks puffed out: "Yes, I was worried too!"

Haruhiko immediately felt a sense of home.

He nodded and raised his voice, saying, "I understand."

"Good boy."

Xueji pulled him into her arms and said with a look of relief, "Let's eat later."

She released Haruhiko, who was nearly suffocating, and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

"Owner."

Only after Izumi and Yukihime left did she dare to rest on Haruhiko's shoulder.

She happily rubbed her face against him.

Haruhiko felt like a peeled egg rolling around.

After sitting down on the sofa, he took out his phone.

After becoming a second-tier priest, it becomes quite a waste of time to take on first-tier commissions.

However, he had just advanced to the next level, and his strength was not comparable to that of a veteran second-tier psionicist.

Because many people have been stuck in the second stage for several years.

Their accumulated knowledge and experience are considerable.

From psionic energy to psionic tools, it's all about overwhelming superiority.

After thinking for a moment, Haruhiko had an idea.

He plans to find a geomancer.

There are two reasons.

First, the Holy Light series of skills of the priest class can deal additional damage to spirits.

Second, the fact that earthbound spirits cannot escape from specific areas means that even if they cannot defeat the enemy, they can still use the Swiftness Talisman to escape.

Haruhiko quickly determined his goal.

The location is an old house in Bunkyo Ward.

According to the employer, singing could be heard every night, confusing passersby in the vicinity.

Many people were injured as a result, but no one died.

It's most likely a bound spirit.

The commission was only 500,000 yen, which was just average.

Haruhiko sighed.

The transition from the second to the third stage still requires seven types of materials.

Two types of third-order materials and five types of second-order materials.

He can't afford any of them with his current savings.

Making money solely through commissions is indeed a rather slow process.

Haruhiko fell into deep thought.

He could actually ask Jinguji Fuyumi or Yukihime for money.

But he's too much of a freeloader.

Unless you join a ruins exploration team.

Commonly known as archaeology.

Just then, my phone vibrated slightly.

It's a message from Hoshino Rin.

“Haruhiko-kun, we discovered another Onmyoji using the forbidden technique of corpse reconstruction yesterday, but we have already dealt with him.”

"Any new discoveries?"

Haruhiko typed and asked.

"The magic array within his body is nearly perfect."

Hoshino Rin replied with a serious expression.

Haruhiko frowned slightly.

This means the experiment may have been successful.

The good news is that there may be no new victims in the future.

The bad news is that this matter will most likely come to nothing.

Wait, that's not necessarily true.

Now that the experiment was successful, the person who actually used the forbidden technique might be exposed.

Haruhiko explained his idea to Hoshino Rin.

The two people were of the same mind.

"I will have the people from Izumo Shrine investigate."

Hoshino Rin sighed inwardly and typed, "Whether there's a result or not depends on luck."

"Don't be discouraged, you've already done your best."

Knowing her personality, Haruhiko comforted her, saying, "Those who died won't blame you."

how to say?

Hoshino Rin is a kind-hearted person.

But the world of psionicists is cruel.

The later the stage, the more dangerous it becomes.

Haruhiko experienced the treachery of those old men during his first playthrough.

They've lived too long and have lost their youthful vigor; they all prefer to launch sneak attacks from behind.

"Come over for dinner."

Yukihime carried tonight's meal out of the kitchen.

She didn't take off her apron, making her look like a virtuous wife.

Haruhiko finished his conversation with Hoshino Rin and got up to go to the dining table.

Izumi jumped off his shoulder, ran to Yukihime, and ate a whole bunch of small snowballs.

After that, he lay on the table, motionless.
