I'm having fun in Tokyo

He shifted his gaze and refocused it on the face of the great goddess, Fei Yue.

But he noticed that her gaze seemed to hold a hint of amusement.

"Is my tail pretty?"

Morikawa Yu nodded readily.

He always felt that boys didn't need to hide their thoughts from girls.

If she likes you, she won't take your praise as insincere. If she doesn't like you, no matter how reserved or introverted you are, she'll just think you have ulterior motives.

"It's beautiful. This kind of element is very popular in animation now, and I really like it."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Feiyue nodded, not continuing the topic.

"What are you going to do now?"

"Although your sister is protected by the Imperial Seal, there is no danger of her disappearing."

"But over the past two years, her spirit has become far too weak."

"I suggest you don't let her stay out for too long during this period; let her rest and recover for a while first."

Morikawa Yu nodded. Although he now had a system, it seemed to only make it easier for him to kill people, not to save them.

Given his sister's situation, he could only follow her arrangements for now.

This yokai woman named Oogami Hiyue seems to have lived for a very long time, so she must be good at saving her own life.

"Also, I plan to visit Asada Shrine."

"Ryoko really helped me a lot this time, and I'm going to go and thank her."

"After all, I don't have many friends, and if your sister disappears too, I'll have even fewer."

"So I owe her a huge favor this time."

"You're your sister's brother, do you want to come along?"

"If she's willing to teach you how to use this Goshuincho (a type of seal book), your sister will recover much faster."

Morikawa Yu thought about it and did not refuse.

Having said all that, he could tell that she just wanted to drag him along.

He had no objection to this, after all, he should go and meet the other party, both morally and logically.

Putting everything else aside, even this Imperial Vermilion Seal Register struck him as odd.

Chapter 19 The God's Troubles

When he was picking out items yesterday, he only thought that these were items that the deity always carried with him, so they must be very precious, but he didn't expect them to be so useful.

Although Kondo Ryoko may have given it to him because of Oogami Hitsuki, it still makes one feel uneasy.

Oogami Hishitsuki saw Morikawa Yu stand up, and he stood up as well.

She picked up the car keys on the table and transformed back into Morikawa Kiyoi.

Morikawa Yu raised an eyebrow.

Why does this woman love driving so much?

This is not the way to go.

She's a monster, so she's not afraid of getting hurt even after a car accident, but he isn't.

Once my body turns eighteen, I must first get a driver's license.

......

Taito District, Asada Shrine.

Kondo Ryoko stood outside the main hall, looking in the direction of the worship hall.

Ran Kondo has returned, but she seems distracted and frightened, which disappoints her.

She knew her daughter well; the child had definitely seen the true form of the great god, Fei Yue.

Although Feiyue will definitely not hurt her because of her relationship with Feiyue, she may not be able to tolerate Feiyue's aura.

Forget it, you can't force these things.

I just hope that she can learn something this time.

She stopped thinking about Kondo Ran and started thinking about Oogami Hisuki.

Oogami Higetsu is a powerful demon she has known for a long time. He is very strong, but his personality is very strange.

If she hadn't found him eight or nine days ago, he wouldn't have known that she would have a new friend in the past two years, and that this friend was a rare and unusual vengeful spirit.

However, this vengeful spirit is about to dissipate, and the situation is very bad.

Although she had a way to save her, it would be difficult to maintain her spiritual state after saving her. She could only let her exist in her own Goshuin-shō. Therefore, she kept thinking of other ways.

Two days ago, she was invited to a festival at Nara Shrine. She specially asked for a branch of sacred tree and rushed back early to prepare to make a spirit house for Hiizuki's friend.

But to her surprise, one of her juniors, who had been giving her a headache yesterday, was coming to the shrine with her students, saying she wanted to help find the monster.

Even more coincidentally, this student is the younger brother of Feiyue's friend.

She told Kondo Ran not to tell Hojo Maki that she was also at the shrine, then hid herself, preparing to tell Hojo Maki some things she had wanted to tell her for a long time.

But when Maki Hojo and her students arrived, she noticed something was amiss.

Hojo Maki's student turned out to be a swordsman who had mastered the art of swordsmanship.

She had heard Maki Hojo talk about her student before, and remembered that he was an ambitious and talented young man.

But that's too ambitious.

That's a swordsman! Ever since the end of the Age of Gods, and humanity gradually suppressed the mystical through industrial power, how long has it been since a swordsman has appeared in this world?

She couldn't immediately determine the young man's background, nor did she know whether he had become a swordsman step by step, or whether he was a historical swordsman reincarnated into the present world.

The only thing she sensed was that there was no trace of evil in his sword intent; all she felt was a carefree and unrestrained spirit.

This made her even more interested.

She was worried about not finding a suitable junior colleague, but he perfectly met her requirements; he just needed further refinement.

Just as Kondo Ran was about to greet Hojo Maki, she finally made a decision: she would no longer consider the sacred tree as a solution. Instead, she had the accompanying shrine maiden place the goshuincho (temple with a scepter) in the worship hall, and then had Kondo Ran deliberately shoot an arrow when she saw him.

Although it was somewhat impolite, it was exactly what she wanted.

Because she needed such a pretext to deliver the imperial seal to him.

As for whether he would choose the Imperial Vermilion Seal as an apology gift, she was confident in her own mind.

Even if he doesn't choose in the end, we can just deliver it again when we go today. But that would diminish the feeling of "destiny" and wouldn't be conducive to cultivating the young man's natural sense of mission.

What you choose yourself is always different from what others impose on you.

Kondo Ryoko smiled slightly as she thought of this.

Now that Feiyue and this young man have probably saved the ghost, I'll probably be able to see them again soon.

She believed he would be unable to suppress his curiosity about the Goshuincho and would ask, or even if he wasn't curious, he would ask how to use the Goshuincho for his sister's sake.

That would be the best opportunity for me to patiently guide and lead the way.

She was determined to lure this young man to the shrine and train him properly.

There's nothing I can do; my granddaughter is useless, and my daughter has no talent either.

It's not easy to meet such an outstanding junior, and we're so close, it would be unreasonable to let him go.

She made up her mind and went over it several times in her head.

She only felt slightly relieved after making sure that she had considered each layer of her calculations several times over.

......

Outside the shrine, Morikawa Yu and the Ōgami Hisuki, who had transformed into Morikawa Kiyoi, had already parked their car in the parking lot and were walking towards the torii gate.

This time he was more careful and observed the shimenawa (sacred rope) on the torii gate more closely.

As he stepped onto the path, the shimenawa rope swayed gently.

What he saw last time was indeed not an illusion.

He had no idea whether it was due to the deity enshrined in the shrine or the power of Kondo Ryoko.

He looked for a long time, but still couldn't find any golden light on the shimenawa (sacred rope).

No longer dwelling on it, Morikawa Yu and Oogami Hisuki walked towards the worship hall, quickly attracting the attention of many people who came to worship at the shrine.

Morikawa Yu was already handsome and refined, and her older sister was a rare beauty. In addition, the cool temperament of the goddess Feiyue added a lot to her appeal.

However, since the two looked very similar, others could tell at a glance that they were siblings, so most people only glanced at them and then stopped looking. There were no people dressed in black robes, carrying sickles and gasoline cans who came to burn the heretics.

Instead of joining the others in worshipping at the temple, Morikawa Yu and Oogami Hisuki searched for Kondo Ran among the surrounding shrine maidens.

But before the two of them could even look for her, she had already come looking for them.

For some reason, Morikawa Yu always felt that she was vaguely afraid when she looked at the great god, Hishitsuki.

He couldn't help but feel more suspicious.

She was able to tell right away that the older sister next to her was actually the goddess Feiyue in disguise?

Sure enough, she wasn't as weak as she appeared.

But why should she be afraid?

The great goddess Feiyue knows her mother, so she wouldn't possibly hurt her, right?

Is she acting again?

Not right.

Something is very wrong.

There's no way a goddess like her could be so weak; there must be something waiting for her.

It seems I need to be careful.

Morikawa Yu became extremely vigilant and followed.

The three of them arrived at the main hall behind the worship hall and immediately saw Kondo Ryoko standing in front of the main hall waiting for them.

She smiled slightly and waved to Morikawa Yu and Oogami Hishitsuki.

Good afternoon, Hiizuki, and Morikawa-san.

Hello, Aunt Liangzi.

Morikawa Yu immediately replied.

He observed Kondo Ryoko's expression, growing increasingly wary.

Chapter 20 As long as I'm careful enough

When Morikawa Yu first met Kondo Ryoko, he only thought that she must be a very powerful shrine maiden, after all, she was the head priestess of Asada Shrine.

As the oldest and largest shrine in Tokyo, Asada Shrine's keeper must be someone of considerable importance.

He didn't know exactly how strong she was, but he knew he wasn't confident he could fight her.

Compared to the seemingly ordinary Kondo Ran, the intense golden light emanating from her body when casting spells was like an ever-burning lighthouse in the dark, seemingly able to easily dispel the fear and evil spirits in people's hearts.

Although this divine power might only be effective against monsters and malicious people, he felt there was no need to gamble on it.

Besides her own power, her identity also seems to be quite extraordinary.

Kondo Kiyokazu said that he would go into politics after graduating from Meiji University. In Japan, where political relationships are almost hereditary, this means that his family definitely has a certain influence in the government.

Although Morikawa Yu had never heard of any high-ranking official with the surname Kondo, Hojo Maki had said that her family and the Kondo family were old friends.

He had previously inquired about Maki Hojo's family background and knew that her grandfather was very powerful, having been a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly, which spoke volumes.

Besides these overt connections, she also interacted with Oogami Hiyue, a powerful and ancient demon who seemed to have lived for a very long time. He didn't believe that she only knew one powerful demon like Oogami Hiyue.
