I'm having fun in Tokyo

Feiyue frowned: "Is it strange?"

"Didn't Ryoko tell you about the Age of Gods?"

"When the Age of Gods declined, the gods were very weak, and then we were born, and they all disappeared one by one."

“I just happened to encounter Tsukuyomi, the deity at the time. Seeing that he was about to die, I took some of his power. He even asked me if I wanted his divine position, which I refused.”

"Later, the gods of abundance and the gods of the three wheels asked me the same question, but I didn't answer it."

Morikawa Yu blinked.

Honey, you make it sound so easy, but it's hard for me to accept that three gods have fallen at your hands.

Hiizuki seemed to have seen through Morikawa Yu's thoughts and was somewhat dissatisfied.

“I did not kill them, I only took their power, and then they disappeared.”

Morikawa Yu nodded with a smile.

He didn't know those poor gods who were rejected even after offering their divine positions, so of course he had to coax his wife.

However, he still felt somewhat helpless.

If Ryoko were to tell him these things, it might feel like listening to a grand historical revelation, but when Hisui tells him these things, even the biggest issues seem as simple as eating and drinking.

But he could also understand that, after all, Scarlet Moon was a witness to the decline of the Age of Gods, and she had taken away the power of those weakened gods, causing them to perish completely.

For her, what's done is done, just like eating beef yesterday and grilled fish today; she might savor the memory a little.

However, since Ryoko is a secret passed down through generations of priests, it is bound to have some imagined "details" added to it. But the authenticity of these details may really just be imagined.

"Wife, you've killed...and even seen those gods?"

"Well......"

Feiyue bit her lip, seemingly unwilling to speak.

Seeing how hard she was trying to hold back, Morikawa Yu shook his head.

"Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't. I won't hate you because of these things."

"Those gods are long gone, and I don't care about them."

Feiyue breathed a sigh of relief, but also seemed somewhat guilty.

She hesitated for a moment, then hugged Morikawa Yu tighter and kissed him.

Out of the corner of his eye, Morikawa Yu glanced at Mitsuko, who was still in time not far away and had a pale face.

Even knowing that the other party was just a remnant of the past, he still felt a strange sense of unease.

"Sorry, my wife arrived first."

He muttered to himself, no longer paying attention to Mitsuko, and focused on enjoying the tenderness with Hishitsuki.

He understood most of what Feiyue had said earlier.

Before the Age of Gods came to an end, great yokai like Hiizuki and Mitsuko were born. They sought out the weakened gods, stole their power, and ended the era they had ruled.

After the Age of Gods ended, a world where humans and yokai coexisted began.

The great yokai of the Age of Gods and the gods like Ryoko, as transcendent forces, checked and balanced each other. Eventually, as human industry developed, the yokai sank into the darkness, forming the present world.

However, this is the situation in Japan; the situation in other parts of the world is unclear.

Although he wanted to visit other places, he had no interest in doing so now that he couldn't even beat his wife.

"Wife, do you want me to see directly what Mitsuko and the others did in the past?"

Morikawa Yu released Hiizuki and asked.

Feiyue nodded: "Yes, since you want to know about the past, seeing it with your own eyes is better than me telling you."

"So you won't suspect me of talking badly about that stinky fox behind her back."

"My wife is upright and honest, the best in the world!" Morikawa Yu immediately praised.

Feiyue didn't show any outward expression, but her tail swayed slightly.

Morikawa Yu nodded secretly.

Sure enough, even wolves wag their tails when they're happy.

Tips for appeasing your wife +1.

"By the way, Feiyue, what's going on with them looking like this?"

Morikawa Yu pointed to Mitsuko's strange makeup.

"That was the prevailing fashion of the time. When Mitsuko and the others transformed into human form, they followed the aesthetics of the time and made such changes."

"Husband, you don't think I did this on purpose, do you?"

Feiyue narrowed her eyes.

Morikawa Yu shook her head decisively, sighing inwardly.

He roughly understood that monsters transforming into humans was like playing a character customization game.

The aesthetic trends of the times will influence how monsters transform their human forms.

Unless a monster is too lazy to become human or disdains becoming human, no monster is ugly to people of the corresponding era.

He finds Tamamo-no-Mae ugly now simply because he is not from this era and cannot accept the aesthetics of Japanese people from a thousand years ago.

But wasn't the aesthetic of Heian period Japan a bit too extreme?

Give me back my beautiful fantasy about Tamamo-no-Mae in FGO, you damned ancient Japanese!

As he was thinking, he suddenly glanced at Fei Yue.

Since Mitsuko and Tamamo-no-Mae are like this, then what about Hitsuki...?

Feiyue rolled her eyes at him.

"Don't even think about it, I'm using my real body right now."

"Ordinary people can hardly see me. The strong humans and great demons who can see me are basically all crazy. For this reason, the lord of the Shinano region even fought with me."

"You're the odd one out, actually liking me the way I am."

Morikawa Yu smiled.

Actually, he only had the ability to see her true face under the glow of the crimson moon's demonic power because of the system he possessed; he just didn't want to tell her about the system's existence.

Feiyue also smiled.

“Husband, if you want to see Tamamo-no-Mae in a way that fits modern aesthetics, you can have that stinky fox transform her for you.”

"She and Tamamo-no-Mae were close friends and knew each other very well. Moreover, her powers are good at disguise and transformation, so she can easily conjure up her likeness."

"Hizuki said with a smile, but Morikawa Yu did not answer."

This is a fucking death question!

No matter how you answer, it will be wrong.

Without hesitation, he grasped Feiyue's hand tightly.

"No need, my wife, you're the most beautiful. I only love your original form!"

He glanced at Feiyue's tail out of the corner of his eye and, sure enough, noticed that her tail was wagging.

Okay, easy solution to the life-or-death problem.

Applying what I've learned—that's truly me.

"Honey, what are they going to do now?"

Morikawa Yu immediately changed the subject and looked at Mitsuko.

"They should be heading to Kyoto now. That stinky fox told me that she went to Kyoto after saving the Abe family."

Feiyue's gaze swept towards the distance under the night sky.

"Now we are in the middle to late Heian period. The age of gods is nearing its end. Even Inari Daimyojin, who has the deepest connection with humans, is already in a state of decline."

"That stinky fox must have met with Inari Daimyojin by now, otherwise he wouldn't be interested in Kyoto."

"Why?" Morikawa Yu asked.

He was curious as to why the great fox would accept the position of Inari Daimyojin, since Hiigetsu and other great yokai from the Age of Gods had all refused the position.

Feiyue shook her head.

"Because at that time, only the Kinki region of Japan did not have a shrine, and the shrines of various regions had been paying attention to Kyoto."

“We were all more or less blocked by those guys, only that stinky fox was able to get to Kyoto without being stopped.”

"Even a wild boar wouldn't believe it if you said that Inari Daimyojin wasn't in cahoots with those guys."

Morikawa Yu nodded, but did not speak.

The fact that the great fox became Inari Daimyojin seemed to be far more complicated than he had imagined.

Feiyue frowned slightly.

“I used to ask that stinky fox why he inherited the divine position and became the head god as Inari Daimyojin, but he wouldn’t tell me.”

"All I know is that she killed her best friend Tamamo-no-Mae and became a god."

"This time I'll also see why she did this."

Feiyue snapped her fingers.

Time seemed to begin to flow again, and Mitsuko and Tamamo-no-Mae started moving again, and suddenly there were sounds around them.

Not far away, Mitsuko turned her gaze to Tamamo-no-Mae, her brows furrowing even more deeply.

"I already told you."

Chapter 166 The Truth of History (11000-word long chapter)

"Tamamo, now that you've come into the human world and taken on a human form, don't treat humans the way you always have."

Tamamo-no-Mae didn't speak, but her eyes darted around, clearly indicating she wasn't listening.

Mitsuko frowned slightly.

Her frowns are usually quite pretty, but the silkworm-eyebrow makeup she's wearing now looks weird and has no aesthetic appeal whatsoever.

"Tamamo, I originally planned to come to Kyoto by myself, but you insisted on coming along. If you don't like it, you can go back now."

"No way, I'll be so bored without you."

Tamamo-no-Mae grabbed Mitsuko's arm and shook it.

"Mizuko, please don't go to Kyoto, okay?"

“Let’s go back together and tease that wolf. Anyway, she sleeps all day and has nothing to do.”

That wolf?

Morikawa Yu looked at Hiizuki.

Feiyue nodded.

"Yes, those two stinky foxes. They used to harass me all the time, even more annoying than the wild boars of Shikoku Island."

"Wild boars from Shikoku Island?"

Morikawa Yu was taken aback.

What is that that can be as annoying as a big fox?

"She's one of us, but just a gluttonous idiot, and who knows how long she's been sleeping, so let's not talk about her."

"Oh." Seeing that she didn't want to talk about it, Morikawa Yu didn't ask any further.

The other party is probably a great yokai from the Age of Gods like her, but since they're on Shikoku Island, let's just leave it at that.

His impression of Shikoku Island, Japan, was limited to Dogo Onsen-ya in Ehime Prefecture, which is the prototype of the bathhouse in "Spirited Away" and is said to be the oldest hot spring in Japan.

However, Japan's history is not long, so Morikawa Yu didn't feel anything.

Mitsuko was still talking to Tamamo-no-Mae.
