"Nonsense! A knotted rope?"

"Wasn't she destroyed and ate those things long ago?"

"She actually came up with such a reason just to arrest me!?"

Asaka shouted angrily, her small hands trembling with rage. The concrete slabs wrapped around the tails of the creatures behind her were instantly crushed and scattered.

Eat...eat it?

It was eaten by that big fox!?

Morikawa Yu was stunned for a moment.

Can this magical artifact be eaten?

Chapter 158 Quick, transform for me!

"A magical artifact... can it still be eaten?"

He asked the question instinctively, only to hear Asaka snort.

"Why can't we eat it? No matter what, a divine artifact is just a tool. What's powerful is the power it possesses, not the artifact itself."

"As long as it is refined with divine power, its power can be absorbed..."

She paused for a moment, her tone suddenly becoming hesitant.

“She did this kind of thing a lot, and she ate a lot of things back then.”

"Whether it's a powerful demon or a divine object with power, as long as it's usable, refine and eat it all."

"At that time?"

Morikawa Yu frowned.

Could it be referring to the time when the great fox attained godhood?

He stared at Asaka's expression and suddenly had a bad feeling.

"It seems you guessed it."

Asaka nodded slightly.

"Why...why eat these things, and monsters too?"

After a moment of silence, Morikawa Yu finally asked.

He had a guess, but wasn't sure.

"Because she needs to make a 'sacrifice' so that she can ensure that she will not lose control because of her faith and the divine position after accepting the divine position."

Asaka shook her head, and seeing him deep in thought, she chuckled.

"You don't actually think that a divine position is a good thing, do you?"

"If that's really the case, why did other great demons from the Age of Gods refuse the position of god?"

Morikawa Yu frowned slightly.

She is right about that.

Scarlet Moon refused the divine position; otherwise, she would be the Goddess of Abundance now, instead of the Blood and Moon Goddess.

"The process of inheriting a divine position will inevitably fail without sufficient 'sacrifice'..."

Asaka continued, but then suddenly stopped.

"In short, she had already consumed her divine artifact long ago."

"She said I stole the artifact, but that was just an excuse to arrest me."

"Then why did she arrest you?"

Morikawa Yu followed up with a question.

But Asaka shook her head: "It's none of your business."

"How can it be none of my business?"

"I will succeed as the chief deity..."

Morikawa Yu said, but was suddenly interrupted by Asaka.

"That's for later, young man."

"Among humans, you are undoubtedly the strongest, but that is only true among humans."

"You are not qualified to interfere in this matter."

"Also, let me remind you one more thing."

"Do not believe a word the fox says, not a single word."

She flicked her tail, instantly sweeping away the surrounding rubble and debris, then tore open the wall, creating a huge hole, and walked outside.

Morikawa Yu stared at her blankly, and then noticed that two words had appeared above her head: "Redemption".

Atonement for sins—atone for what sins?

However, he immediately realized that this was her decision.

Although it's unclear why she made such a decision, she seems to genuinely have something to do, rather than simply running away after stealing something, as the big fox claimed.

Watching Asaka leave, he thought for a moment, then decided not to chase after her. Instead, he instructed Chizuru to keep an eye on her while he mentally contacted Ryoko.

He remembered Ryoko saying that she couldn't find Mitsuko anymore.

The problem likely lies with that big fox; otherwise, Asaka wouldn't have warned against trusting him.

"Ryoko, have you found Mitsuko?"

Feeling that his feelings had been reciprocated by Ryoko, he immediately said...

"No, she possessed the body of the Fujiwara family's child not long ago and went out. She hasn't returned yet, and I haven't sensed her presence in Tokyo."

Ryoko's voice came through, tinged with worry.

"Morikawa, I sensed a battle on your end. How is it going?"

"It's alright, there's nothing wrong."

He then recounted what had happened to him in Bunkyo Ward.

This includes the story of Mr. Takenaka's murder, the attack on Yoshimitsu Odajima, the killing of one of the cat demons to avenge Mr. Takenaka, the pursuit of another cat demon, and the encounter with Asaka, the ancestor of the Fujiwara clan.

Liangzi remained silent for a while, seemingly somewhat doubtful.

"Asaka said that Mitsuko ate the divine artifact herself?"

"Ah."

Morikawa Yu responded and repeated what Asaka had said.

Ryoko remained silent for a while, then finally let out a long sigh.

What she said is true, but these are all old secrets that I was planning to tell you later.

"Now that she's said it, it's no big deal."

"The most important thing is Mitsuko's whereabouts."

"That stinky fox, coming to Tokyo, definitely didn't bring anything good."

She seemed lost in her memories, and after a while, she continued.

"Morikawa, I'll look for Mitsuko. As for Asaka, I'll leave it to you to investigate."

"There's no need to catch her, but we must know where she is and what she's doing."

"it is good."

Morikawa Yu agreed.

He was also very curious about what Asaka wanted to do.

Her determination was to atone for her sins, but what sins did she want to atone for?

The same goes for Mitsuko's big fox; it said it was going to catch Asaka, but then it hid itself, which gave people a bad feeling.

He shook his head and tried to communicate with Chizuru through his mind, only to find that Chizuru was flying back here.

A minute later, Chizuru appeared in the sky, her huge body slowly descending, with a person still clutched in her claws.

“Master, I’ve been keeping an eye on the person you told me to keep an eye on, but she told me not to bother her.”

“I didn’t agree, but she handed this person to me and said that she could contact me through him if needed, but I should treat him well.”

Chizuru released her grip, and the person she was holding immediately fell to the ground and crashed down.

Morikawa Yu looked at its cat ears and black twin tails and immediately smiled.

He never expected to see the other person again.

"Ah, little kitten, we meet again."

"demon!"

Nishino looked frightened and backed away, trying to hide himself.

"Why was I sent by the household god to be your liaison? Did you bewitch the household god?"

"Ah, seduction? It seems so."

Morikawa Yu smiled and decided to continue the conversation.

She also said, "I'll make you my contact now, and once things are settled, I'll give you to me as a pet cat so you can live in Tokyo from now on."

"impossible!"

"My household god will not abandon me!"

Nishino seemed to have been hit hard, but also seemed somewhat tempted.

"However, I'll stay and live in Tokyo..."

Sigh, what a clever cat.

Morikawa Yu sighed.

“I’m just kidding, she didn’t give you to me as a pet cat.”

"You won't stay in Tokyo either."

Nishino's eyes widened immediately.

He seemed both happy and disappointed.

After a while, he finally realized what was happening.

"You devil who loves to toy with people's hearts, do you really enjoy playing tricks on people that much?!"

Morikawaha laughed.

He sheathed his sword, put away Tsurumaru, and came to Nishino. Before Nishino could resist, he rubbed Nishino's ear.

Ah, cat ears, Subarashi.

Nishino's tail immediately tensed up, and his fur stood on end.

"do not move."

Morikawa Yu gripped his ear tightly.

Nishino glared angrily, but still lowered his tail.

His face was flushed, and his breathing was somewhat heavy.

Morikawa Yu fell into deep thought.

No, something's not right.

I'm petting cat ears, so why can't I get excited?

He thought for a while and finally focused his gaze on Nishino's chest.

Although Nishino looks good in women's clothing, she's definitely not a real girl.
