"Since you've already helped Mitsuko recover to her original One-Tailed form's strength ahead of schedule, let's change our strategy."

“Mizuko, you personally deal with that traitor Qingluo. Morikawa, you hold off one of the demon kings. Asaka will handle the remaining three demon kings.”

"As for that Abe Haruhiko, Kashima Kaoru can handle him."

As for Abe Haruhiko, he is very likely a mole infiltrated into the enemy's camp by our side. He is a die-hard siscon. It is the Abe family that should be considering how to deal with him.

Morikawa Yu silently added a sentence in her mind.

However, there's no need to expose Haruhiko Abe now; it can be used as a backup plan.

Ryoko noticed his gaze and looked at him questioningly.

Morikawa Yu shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

Ryoko nodded: "In addition, those great demon-level oni generals can be handed over to the shrine's combat shrine maiden squads; each of them can handle one."

"Most ordinary demons are no match for the messengers of the household gods."

"Asaka's messenger Nishino and Kurozo's messenger Marina have also become great yokai, making it convenient for them to provide support."

"By the way, Morikawa, is Chizuru with you?"

Ryoko asked Morikawa Haha again.

Morikawa Yu nodded, patted his own Goshuin-cho (a type of official seal), and a beam of light appeared, from which Chizuru jumped out.

She opened her sleepy eyes, rubbed them, and looked in Morikawa Yu's direction before hugging him: "Mmm, Master..."

Morikawa Yu patted her head and picked her up.

He had already been to the space of the Imperial Vermilion Seal Pavilion and knew that it was empty and quite boring.

She had been sleeping since she arrived in Kyoto yesterday, and that's why she looked so sleepy.

Senzuru felt Morikawa Yu's movement, opened her eyes, nuzzled his face affectionately, and hugged his neck: "...Master, I'm so sleepy."

Liangzi smiled helplessly.

"Since Chizuru is like this, let her stay by your side."

"If anything happens, you can have her bring you back."

She paused for a moment before saying, "The fighting force is sufficient to deal with the Abe family."

“The Fujiwara family’s main ancestral home is in the southern part of Kyoto, the Tokugawa family’s main ancestral home is in the western part of Kyoto, and the Abe family’s main ancestral home is in the northern part of Kyoto. I have Kurozo stationed in the southern and western parts of Kyoto to guard against the Abe family’s main ancestral home in the northern part of Kyoto.”

"That way, even if they all come out in full force, we can stop them immediately."

“As for the other smaller families, I sent out some shikigami last night to warn them not to get involved, so as not to be implicated.”

"Kyoto Prefectural Police are patrolling the surrounding area to maintain vigilance and prevent ordinary people from being involved."

"it is good."

Morikawa Yu nodded.

Mitsuko stared at Chizuru in Morikawa Yu's arms, seemingly somewhat displeased, but seeing that Ryoko and Morikawa Yu were both looking at her, she nodded and said, "Yes, that's fine."

"I'll call Xun over right now."

After a while, Kaoru Kashima's voice could be heard from outside.

"Mr. Mitsuko, Mr. Ryoko, Mr. Morikawa."

"Come in," said Mitsuko.

"Yes!"

Kaoru Kashima walked in.

She seemed to have changed her clothes before breakfast. She was no longer wearing her original shrine maiden outfit, but instead a set of light black armor, with a pale white jinhaori draped over it.

At her waist, she also had two divine swords, one long and one short, slung across her waist. Her long black hair was tied behind her back, making her look like a beautiful female general straight out of a manga, exuding a cool and heroic aura.

Morikawa Yu couldn't help but think of Maki-sensei in Tokyo.

If Maki-sensei wore a jinhaori like this, she would probably look just as cool, right?

When we got back to Tokyo, I encouraged her to give it a try.

"Morikawa!" Suddenly, Mitsuko grabbed Morikawa Yu's arm, her eyes dangerous: "Now that you're by my side, you're not allowed to think about other girls."

Morikawa Yu froze for a moment, then immediately remembered that the big fox could see her red thread of fate.

She must have realized that he was thinking about Maki Hojo, so she was a little angry.

The problem is that I thought of Maki-sensei because of Kashima Kaoru, but I didn't intentionally think of her.

He sighed inwardly and cleared his throat: "Yes, of course."

Kaoru Kashima glanced at him curiously, but Ryoko waved to her.

She suppressed her curiosity and went to Ryoko's side.

Ryoko then repeated what she had just said to her.

“…I understand, Lady Ryoko. I will now go and arrange the affairs at the shrine.” Kaoru Kashima leaned towards her and said.

“Okay, go ahead.” Ryoko nodded, watching Kashima Kaoru walk out.

She turned to look at Morikawa Yu and Mitsuko, only to realize that Mitsuko was subtly gesturing to Morikawa Yu to send Chizuru back to the Goshuincho.

However, Chizuru hugged Morikawa Yu's neck affectionately, seemingly unwilling to let go.

She couldn't help but sigh.

Chapter 249 The Abnormal Ghost Kings

Although they have the advantage, is it really okay for them to look so relaxed?

Liangzi shook her head slightly.

Morikawa Yu was also having a headache.

He didn't expect that Mitsuko would even be jealous of Chizuru.

She was just a child, and their relationship was merely that of a shikigami and its master.

"Morikawa!"

Mitsuko tugged at Morikawa Yu's trench coat sleeve.

Chizuru opened her eyes, turned her head in Morikawa Yu's arms, and looked at her: "Hmm... It's Lady Mitsuko. Is there something you want to say to Master?"

Mitsuko remained silent, her gaze gradually turning cold.

Is this little guy really stupid or just pretending?

Or... is she simply trying to get close to Morikawa as a shikigami, without any other intentions?

Mitsuko hesitated for a moment, then noticed Chizuru yawning in Morikawa Yu's arms.

She seemed to be almost awake. She stretched out one small hand, then hugged Morikawa Yu's neck tightly and nuzzled his face affectionately.

Morikawa Yu also patted Chizuru's head.

He could see Mitsuko's dissatisfaction, and whispered to Chizuru, telling her to return to the Goshuin-no-ten (temple), before looking at Mitsuko.

If you compare your home to a fishpond, then Feiyue is the great white shark in your own fishpond, while the big fox is another great white shark that wants to enter the fishpond.

Although Scarlet Moon allowed the Great Fox, a new great shark, to enter the fishpond, the Great Fox seemed unwilling to let the other small fish approach him.

Even if this little fish is just the little fish she suspected.

Morikawa Yu sighed.

But there's no use worrying about that now. Let's deal with this first...

......

The main building and lobby of the Abe residence.

Two waiters opened the doors to the hall and welcomed Haruhiko Abe inside.

Today is the day when the Abe family rebels against the shrine and launches an attack.

He learned from Fujiwara Keisuke about the Fujiwara family's defensive forces and some of the plans for the shrine, and also revealed the Abe family's plans.

Once the attack begins, the main force of the Abe family will be tied down by the Fujiwara family, and then dealt with by the power of the shrine, leaving them no chance to struggle again.

But for some reason, the evil spirit Qingluo suddenly summoned him, saying there was a temporary adjustment to the plan.

He suspected she had noticed something, but in order not to reveal anything further, he came here himself.

Upon entering the main hall, Abe Haruhiko glanced around and noticed a row of five seats arranged in the center of the hall.

Seated in the very center seat was a tall woman with dark skin, a beautiful face, and blue hair and blue eyes, but with a hint of ruthlessness in her expression.

The other party was none other than the ruler of the Oni clan, the household god of the Abe family, Seiro.

She leaned back in her seat, tapping her fingers on the armrest, her eyes closed, seemingly thinking, or perhaps resting.

There were four other figures sitting around her.

The one closest to her left was a slender, white-haired "girl" with two horns on her head, dressed in a Western-style dress.

She was very beautiful, but her chest was completely flat, which was obviously wrong.

Abe Haruhiko's face was expressionless.

If someone were completely unaware of the situation, they might actually mistake the other person for a young girl.

But he knew in his heart that the other person was just a strange guy who had a habit of dressing as a woman.

His name is Ibaraki, one of the four great demon kings under Qingluo's command, and a top-ranking demon.

Historically, he once disguised himself as a young girl and tricked Watanabe no Tsuna, a follower of Minamoto no Yorimitsu, a senior retainer of the Fujiwara clan. However, the result was not good, and he lost an arm.

The family hoped that the other party would deal with the Tokugawa family, who are descendants of the Minamoto family, but unexpectedly, after being awakened, the other party was not most concerned about the Tokugawa family, but about modern women's clothing.

Ha, just like that brat Fujiwara Keisuke.

Abe Haruhiko turned his head to look at the right side of Seiro.

The man closest to Qingluo's right was a handsome middle-aged man with red hair and a pair of large purple demon horns on his head.

He held a bottle of wine but didn't drink it. Instead, he muttered something under his breath, his hand dangling on the side of the chair, looking dejected.

Abe Haruhiko listened intently and could vaguely make out words like, "I'm old, really old. Even a sip of sake burns my throat. Is there no sake that suits me now?" and "Why are you waking me up? Living is so hard. I want to die."

He paused for a moment, then sighed.

The other party was also one of the Four Great Demon Kings, and the strongest of them all, the Demon King of Mount Tanba, Ibuki.

As for why it turned out this way, nobody knows.

His gaze continued to shift, looking towards Ibuki's right.

It was a petite, one-horned girl with a cute face, but her expression was fierce. She stared at him intently, as if she was about to stand up and tear him to pieces at any moment.

The opponent was also a demon king named Hoshiguma. Although he was not the strongest, his strength was particularly terrifying.

If the other party gets angry, I am completely unable to cope.

Haruhiko Abe frowned secretly, but didn't seem to care.

Because from the other person came faint snoring, and their fierce expression remained motionless, as if frozen, clearly indicating they were sleeping with their eyes wide open.

He shook his head.

A perverted teenager who likes to cross-dress, a middle-aged man who is constantly questioning his life after being awakened, and a cute but fierce little girl who is so sleepy that she can sleep with her eyes open.

The ghost kings under Qingluo's command are all incredibly bizarre.

He thought to himself, glancing at the last figure with a wary look in his eyes.

The other person looked very ordinary, wearing a JK uniform, with a youthful and carefree expression, like a high school girl who had just come home from school, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with her.

But that's exactly where the problem lies.

A demon king who has lived for over a thousand years, and a powerful shikigami who follows the Ise-gami priestess, dressed and acted like an ordinary high school girl—it just doesn't make sense, does it?

Perhaps the other party is the most terrifying of the four ghost kings.

Abe Haruhiko was wary.
