I'm having fun in Tokyo

However, he didn't dare sit next to Ryoko, fearing that the big fox would overthink things and think he wanted to run away and didn't want to be with her anymore.

"No rush. We can talk about it later when Asaka and another household deity arrive." Ryoko took another sip of tea and smiled slightly.

Morikawa Yu nodded.

The other household deity should be Kurozo from the Tokugawa family.

Anyway, he didn't think that the demon lord Qingluo would come here; her relationship with the shrine was clearly not good.

Not long after, Asaka pushed open the door and came in.

She saw Morikawa Yu and Mitsuko sitting together, her brows furrowed, and she quickly walked towards them, plopping down between them.

Both Morikawa Yu and Mitsuko were looking at her.

Ryoko smiled.

Asaka is acting like a child who's jealous of both Morikawa and Mitsuko.

Asaka paused for a moment, seemingly understanding what Ryoko was about to say, and turned around to grab Morikawa Yu's trench coat collar.

"You are not allowed to say that I am the daughter of a human and His Highness the God! Even if you don't intend to say it, you are still not allowed to say it!"

“I didn’t mean to say that, Asaka.” Ryoko shook her head.

She hadn't intended to say it; it was Asaka who brought it up herself.

Asaka's face flushed red.

Morikawa Yu looked completely bewildered.

He didn't understand why Asaka was grabbing his collar.

It was clearly Ryoko who was teasing her; shouldn't she have grabbed Ryoko's collar?

Or is this guy afraid that Ryoko will teach him a lesson?

Seeing his expression, Asaka gripped his collar even tighter, pressing her small, soft body against him.

"You're thinking about rude things again, you human!"

Mitsuko placed a hand on her shoulder, pulled her back, and pressed her onto the sofa: "Sit properly. It's because you're like this all the time that you seem childish."

"I'm not childish! Lord God!" Asaka immediately retorted, "I..."

She was about to say something more when the knocking on the door interrupted her.

"Come in, Kurozo," Mitsuko said softly.

The door was pushed open, and a figure walked in.

Morikawa Yu looked over and, after seeing who it was, was slightly surprised.

The other person was around twenty years old, a beauty with outstanding looks and temperament, even comparable to Ryoko.

She wore a plain white furisode kimono, had long black hair that reached her waist, and a broad chest, even more exaggerated than that of Hitsuki, almost bursting out.

On her head, there was a pair of dog ears that looked very much like those of Tokugawa Maka, adding a unique touch to her beauty.

"Lady Mitsuko, Lady Ryoko, and Asaka." She greeted Mitsuko and the others, and finally fixed her gaze on Morikawa Yu.

"This must be Lord Morikawa."

"My name is Kurozo, the guardian deity of the Tokugawa family, and a high-ranking member of the Inugami clan."

She greeted him with a smile and leaned slightly forward.

"I just saw Mo Xiang outside and she told me about you. Thank you for helping them."

"It was just a small favor," Morikawa Yu said, shaking his head.

He originally only wanted to bring Fujiwara Shiori back to the shrine, and rescued them along the way.

As for Qingyuan and Qingluo, who controlled his body, it was purely an accident.

However, the fact that this Tokugawa family ancestor was so polite made him feel very good about him.

"Help is not about intentions. I will remember your help, and the Tokugawa family will repay you," Kurozo said, glancing at Mitsuko and Yoshiko.

"Lady Mitsuko, Lady Yoshiko, is there something you need me for that you summoned me to the shrine?"

Mitsuko nodded slightly.

"There are some very important things to discuss. Please sit down." She gestured to the sofa opposite her.

Kurozo didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly.

She looked at Mitsuko and Ryoko, her expression turning serious.

Two days ago, Mitsuko and Yoshiko had already summoned her.

That's how she learned that it was Inari God who had been impersonating Lady Mitsuko all along.

Until recently, Lady Mitsuko, Lady Ryoko, and this Mr. Morikawa resolved His problems, allowing the true God to break free from the seal.

It took her a long time to accept this reality.

Now that I've been called in again, it's probably because of something important.

"Let's skip the pleasantries and get straight to the point." Ryoko put down her teacup and unleashed a golden light that enveloped the entire living room.

“I’ve isolated this space, so I can say whatever I want directly.”

Asaka remained silent.

Ryoko then looked at Morikawa Yu.

"Morikawa, could you please tell me about what happened this time?"

Morikawa Yu nodded.

Although he didn't understand why she asked this, he was already planning to bring it up and ask them if they knew who controlled Qingyuan.

He thought for a moment and then recounted how he had rescued Fujiwara Shiori, encountered Aohara, and discovered that she was being controlled. At the same time, he asked the questions that had been on his mind.

However, he concealed the determination he saw in Qingyuan, the determination belonging to the one who possessed it.

After all, normal people can't see this.

After he finished speaking, Mitsuko, Asaka, and Inugami Kurozo all fell silent for a while.

"Only that bastard Qingluo could do something like this. She must be plotting something!" Qianxiang said with a cold face.

“I agree with Asaka’s opinion.” Kurozo nodded as well.

"Among the three major families, the Abe family has always maintained a superficial relationship with the shrine, refusing to be honest and open about it."

Mitsuko didn't speak, she just sighed.

Liangzi picked up her tea and took a small sip.

Morikawa Yu looked at her, his eyes shining.

Since Ryoko asked him about this matter, she must have some guesses, plans, or arrangements.

He wanted to know how Ryoko viewed what had happened that day.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Ryoko didn't express her opinion first, but instead looked at Mitsuko.

"Mizuko, how are you feeling right now?"

Mitsuko hesitated for a moment.

She didn't speak, but instead gathered her strength.

Asaka and Kurozo exchanged a glance and shook their heads.

They did not feel even the slightest bit of pressure from the God.

Morikawa Yu's heart sank.

The large fox now gives him the feeling that it has a similar aura to Asaka's human form, which is completely inconsistent with her identity as a divine being.

"My current power is still depleted, less than one percent of what it used to be. It will probably take about two days to recover half of it, barely reaching the level of the One-Tailed Incarnation."

"It might take about 70-80% of it to recover in about two weeks."

She spoke, her expression remaining calm and unchanged.

But Morikawa Yu could still hear worry and a hint of helplessness in her voice.

Her original form was sealed away for nearly nine hundred years.

Although the seal has been broken, the original great power has been lost over time, and it is now only equivalent to an ordinary high-ranking demon.

This sense of disparity is probably hard for anyone to accept.

His heart tightened, and he grasped her hand.

Mitsuko glanced at him and gave a forced smile.

"That's it. Mitsuko is too weak right now, so all sorts of demons and monsters have come out, trying to take advantage of this opportunity to bite off a piece of her flesh."

Ryoko smiled slightly, but her smile was clearly cold.

“I’ve been gathering intelligence these past few days and discovered that the Abe family is secretly mobilizing their subordinate Oni clan members to gather in Kyoto.”

"The priestess also left Ise and came here."

"If I'm not mistaken, that bastard woman, Hime-no-Miya, is involved with the Abe family. That's why she lured me away from Kyoto today and had Seiro send that oni named Aohara to attack you."

“But I didn’t fall for her trick, and you killed that demon.”

"They certainly won't let this go so easily."

Morikawa Yu listened thoughtfully.

He remembered the shrine maiden that Ryoko had mentioned.

The opponent is the head priest of Ise Grand Shrine, whose power is comparable to that of Nagako and the Great Fox at his peak.

However, because the great fox was a god, not a human, but a demon from the divine era, she always harbored resentment.

Now that they've come to Kyoto, they definitely don't have good intentions.

"So, Ryoko, do you mean that the shrine maiden and the Abe family will continue to target the Great Fox?" he couldn't help but ask.

Liangzi nodded: "I'm afraid that's exactly right."

"Although Mitsuko is weak now, her strength is recovering."

"Even if she only recovers to the level of the One-Tailed Incarnation, with me here, she can stabilize the situation in Kyoto."

"So if they want to target Mitsuko, it will only take a day or two."

Mitsuko listened silently to Ryoko's words and held Morikawa Yu's hand tightly.

He looked at Ryoko: "Then what should we do, Ryoko?"

Having just arrived, he was completely unaware of the situation. Although he had fought Qingluo once, the other party had only controlled Qingyuan to fight him and had not appeared in person.

Liangzi has been here these past few days, so she must have a plan in mind.

"Buy time," Ryoko said softly.

"Buying time?" Morikawa Yu was somewhat surprised.

He thought that Ryoko would arrange for him, Asaka, and Kurozo, the ancestral spirit of the Tokugawa family, to launch a surprise attack on the Abe family.

Seeing the change in his expression, Liangzi immediately understood what he was thinking and shook her head.

"Morikawa, time is on our side, not theirs."

"As long as Mitsuko recovers her strength and allows us to free up our hands, we won't be afraid of any number of Abe families."

"We only need to wait in comfort and wait for their exhaustion, and that will be enough to deal with their schemes."

Morikawa Yu thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

Ryoko's line of thinking was indeed sound, but he was still somewhat worried.

"What if they actually hurt the big fox?"

“If they really make a move…” Ryoko paused for a moment, “then we’ll fight back.”

“Mizuko knows everything about the Abe family.”

"Leaving aside that bastard woman Hime-no-Miya, in the entire Abe family, only Seiro can be considered a top-tier powerful yokai."
