I'm having fun in Tokyo

In his previous life, he played a lot of gacha games in his spare time, including games like "Fake Dog," "Tomorrow's Africa," "Beng Beng Beng," and "Sky Blue Road." He loved the thrill of drawing an SSR character; he was a seasoned gambler.

"I bet you..."

"Well, it seems there's nothing worth betting on." Asaka sighed.

“No way, I admit I’m a little too high, but we have to bet something today,” Morikawa Yu said.

Asaka frowned slightly.

"Then let's bet on your first time. If you lose, you must give your first time to His Highness the God, not to that woman named Scarlet Moon."

Morikawa Yu suddenly felt several gazes around her.

Xinjue sat down next to him and tugged at his trench coat.

"No! Master! I promised Lady Scarlet Moon that I would bring you back safe and sound, otherwise Lady Scarlet Moon will kill me!"

"Mr. Morikawa, haven't you graduated from your virginity yet?" Fujiwara Shiori was also a little surprised. "Don't you have any interest in girls? You're so popular, I thought you'd slept with at least ten women."

"Shiori, don't say such shameless things!"

Keisuke Fujiwara sat on the other side, looking utterly devastated, as if to say, "My niece went to Tokyo and came back spouting dirty jokes. How am I going to explain this to my older brother?"

"Uncle, although I may be a bit blunt, I have never done anything impure."

Fujiwara Shiori glanced at him lazily. "My body is clean. If you don't believe me, you can ask the God of the House to check."

But deep down you're already a seasoned pro, right? Morikawa Yu subconsciously thought to herself.

“Master, actually, we cats can decide our gender after we turn into three tails…” Nishino said weakly from the side.

Morikawa Yu looked at her and found that the catgirl's face was rosy and she looked extremely cute.

"Heh, it's really in high demand. Looks like I've secured something important for His Highness the God." Asaka, the instigator of the argument, sneered.

"Want to gamble, human?"

"No!" Morikawa Yu immediately refused.

He had calmed down and remembered what Fei Yue had said when he arrived.

She would accept the big fox, but she had to have her wedding with him and give him her virginity.

"Tch, how boring." Asaka stretched, her tone dismissive.

"Is this all the courage a dignified swordsman has?"

Morikawa Yu remained unmoved, completely ignoring her provocation, and calmly closed her eyes.

Beside the two, Shinjue looked at Nishino.

If she remembers correctly...

"Nishino, you said that once your demonic power reaches the Three-Tailed form, it will determine your gender?" she couldn't help but ask.

Nishino nodded.

Xin Jue's mouth was open, but she couldn't speak.

The usually carefree maid suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.

......

"Ah, we're finally here."

More than an hour later, the luxury bus stopped at the parking lot of Fushimi Inari Shrine.

Morikawa Yu got out of the car, followed by Shinkaku and Nishino.

Asaka also came down, with Fujiwara Shiori and Fujiwara Keisuke beside her.

Fujiwara Keisuke's assistants also got out of the car, while the household gods remained in the vehicle, awaiting orders.

"Hello, is this Inspector Takashima? This is Keisuke Fujiwara." Keisuke Fujiwara took out his phone and made a call. "I've picked up Princess Ryoko's student, Mr. Morikawa Yu. Please come in with us."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and began explaining to Morikawa Yu.

“Mr. Morikawa, you should know about what happened last time, right? At that time, Princess Ryoko came to rescue Princess Shinshu, and the aftershock of Princess Shinshu’s power collapsed one side of Mount Inari.”

"The Kyoto Prefectural Police explained the incident as a dangerous explosive device planted by unidentified individuals, so the area around the shrine remains under lockdown to prevent the public from approaching."

"The person I just called is Inspector Takashima, who is in charge of security. Having him pick us up will save us a lot of trouble."

Morikawa Yu nodded and waited for a while before he met Inspector Takashima, who had mentioned him. Inspector Takashima also brought two patrol vehicles.

They got into the car, arrived at the entrance of the shrine, got out, and walked together into the shrine.

At the end of the approach, stood a shrine maiden dressed in a Senhaya outfit.

She bowed to Morikawa Yu and gestured for him to proceed.

"Her Highness the God and Her Highness Yoshiko are already waiting for you. They told me to go find them by myself, and that Lady Asaka and the others are free to do as they please."

Morikawa Yu couldn't help but glance at Shinkaku and Asaka.

Asaka waved her hand, looking indifferent.

Morikawa Yu nodded and walked past the torii gate.

The shrine maiden led him to a palace, where they stopped.

Morikawa Yu raised her hand, about to knock on the door, when she immediately heard Ryoko's voice from inside.

"Come in, Morikawa."

He nodded, pushed open the door, and immediately saw Ryoko and a beautiful blonde nine-tailed girl sitting in the center of the hall.

The girl was none other than the fox he had been longing for.

She was dressed in a magnificent kimono, draped with layers of blouses, so gorgeous that it was dazzling.

"Rua! Big fox!"

He approached the two of them, called out softly, and smiled at her.

Yujin looked up at him, still hesitating about how to greet him, but upon hearing his soft call, she couldn't help but smile.

"Rua...! Morikawa-kun!"

Her face was already adorable, and with her smile and a hint of shyness beneath it, she was 100% irresistible.

Morikawa Yu felt as if she had been shot in the heart, and her smile became even brighter.

Putting everything else aside, just being able to see the big fox's smile in Kyoto is worth it!

"You two, do you start showing off your love as soon as you meet?"

Liangzi smiled helplessly, somewhat dissatisfied.

Although she didn't mind Morikawa Yu greeting Mitsuko first, the fact that they were exchanging glances after greeting each other still made her uncomfortable.

"Rua, Ryoko!"

Senkawa Yu noticed Ryoko's displeasure and immediately bent down to give her a hug.

I've missed you for so long.

Liangzi's expression softened, and she patted him on the back.

"You really miss me?"

"Of course," Morikawa Yu said sincerely.

He now genuinely enjoys the feeling of Ryoko overseeing the shrine; it's like having a powerful patron, and this patron is so reliable that it puts him at ease.

"Okay, that's good." Ryoko smiled slightly. "How was the journey?"

"Not bad, pretty good."

Liangzi nodded.

She glanced at Mitsuko beside her, then looked at him.

"Morikawa, it's good that you're here. I have something very important to tell you."

Chapter 226 Hime Miko

"What is it?" Morikawa Yu asked immediately.

"Protect Mitsuko this afternoon," Ryoko said earnestly, looking him into the eyes.

"Huh? Protect the big fox? Me?"

Morikawa Yu was startled and immediately looked at Mitsuko.

I'll protect the big fox?

Ryoko, you're not kidding, are you?

That big fox is a demon from the Age of Gods, and a god-lord on the same level as you. The aftershocks of her power can destroy mountains.

Are you mistaken about asking me to protect her?

He was about to ask a question when he suddenly calmed down.

No, Ryoko doesn't usually joke about things like this.

The great fox was sealed away for nearly nine hundred years, so it might be really weak now.

Seeing the change in his expression, Ryoko nodded and said, "You probably guessed it too, Morikawa."

“When you killed the Inari God’s consciousness clone, I rescued Mitsuko from the seal. At that time, she was very weak, and only her consciousness was intact.”

"That's why I stayed in Kyoto to protect her safety."

"Otherwise, she could very well be in danger."

Mitsuko sat to one side, her fair face slightly flushed.

She had never wanted anyone to know about this, and now that Ryoko had brought it up, and he was the one she had confessed to, she couldn't help but feel a little shy.

"I'm sorry, because of my problem, I've had to rely on Ryoko to protect me for so long."

Morikawa Yu shook her head: "No, it's nothing. I'm just glad you're alright."

He looked at Ryoko.

"Ryoko, you asked me to take care of the big fox for an afternoon, there must be something important going on, right?"

"Yes." Ryoko nodded.

Morikawa Yu was curious about what important matter it was.

Seeing his curiosity, Ryoko said softly, "Morikawa, do you remember what I told you before about the God Lord?"

Morikawa Yu nodded.

“I didn’t make it clear to you at the time that, in all of Japan, besides me and the Great Fox, there are two other shrine masters who possess the power to contend with the demons of the Age of Gods.”

"They are respectively the shrine maidens of Ise Grand Shrine and the shrine maidens of Izumo Taisha Shrine."

"Morikawa, remember them."

Morikawa Yu frowned and wrote down the two names.

He knew about Ise Grand Shrine and Izumo Taisha Shrine, which are the highest-ranking and oldest shrines in Japan, respectively, and are very mysterious.

"What's wrong with them?" he couldn't help but ask.

Ryoko sighed: "The important thing I'm talking about is that I have to go see one of the troublesome guys, the shrine maiden of Ise Grand Shrine."

"She is the head priestess of the Ise Grand Shrine, and has inherited the title of Princess Shrine Maiden passed down through generations of the Ise Grand Shrine. She is a little younger than me, but her strength is no less."

"Among the four of us—Mizuko, Hime-miya, and Kami-miya—Mizuko and I are closer, while Kami-miya and Hime-miya are more unconventional."

"The shrine maiden guards the Izumo Taisha Shrine and doesn't care about outside affairs, but the shrine maiden has always been dissatisfied with Mitsuko's control of the Kansai region."

“Now that Mitsuko is in trouble, she somehow got the news and rushed over from Mie Prefecture a few days ago, and her whereabouts are unknown.”

Mie Prefecture is located in the Kinki region... southeast of Kyoto.

Morikawa Yu estimated the location in her mind and formed a general impression of it.

Japan's prefectures differ from those in China in their administrative divisions. They are units one level larger than cities, but their area is roughly the same as that of cities in China.

The priestess arrived, probably intending to harm the great fox; otherwise, she wouldn't have concealed her whereabouts.
