I'm having fun in Tokyo

He was prepared to teleport back to the shrine to find Ryoko immediately if the other party attacked him.

As for Ibuki and the others... we can only ask Ryoko for help.

But to his surprise, the priestess simply shook her head slightly at Daigokumaru.

"It's okay to lose."

"This will teach you a lesson; don't be so arrogant."

Upon hearing this, Daigokumaru lowered his head even further.

I was indeed a bit arrogant, thinking that this human was just a human, and even if he was a great swordsman, he couldn't be that strong. As a result, I was taught a lesson.

Seeing her lower her head, the priestess said again, "Since you lost, for the rest of the time, you will follow Morikawa... follow him."

Ookumaru was startled.

"What? Lord God, you want me to go with him!?"

She looked at Morikawa Yu beside her, unable to accept it for a moment.

This human defeated me and even cut off one of my demon horns, which I can't recover now. So the God wants me to follow this human?

What is the Divine Lord thinking?!

Was it because I went against her wishes and insisted on fighting this human that I upset her?

She carefully observed the priestess's expression, and her heart sank.

Lady Hime seems to be really angry.

Although she appeared calm and lacked any imposing aura, that was precisely how she showed her anger.

Only someone like myself, who has always been with the Goddess and watched her grow up, could tell that the Goddess was angry.

Morikawa Yu was also taken aback upon hearing this.

He hadn't expected that this suddenly appearing priestess wouldn't cause him any trouble, but instead made Daigokumaru admit defeat and stay by his side.

Moreover, he didn't sense any malice from her; even the way she looked at him just now was an equal gaze.

In contrast, although Ryoko was gentle, doting and caring towards him, she treated him more like a big child.

So what exactly does this shrine maiden want to do?

Morikawa Yu was wary.

The shrine maiden also turned her gaze to him: "Morikawa, you..."

She paused for a moment: "You are very good, but Qingluo is not like Dayuwan. She is not that simple. Don't let temporary victory cloud your judgment."

"Thanks for reminding me," Morikawa Yu said readily.

Since the other party treats me as an equal, I don't need to be intimidated.

Although I am not as strong as her now, I have a system, and I will eventually have time to surpass her.

However, he felt, whether it was his imagination or not, that the other person knew him.

Moreover, she accidentally called out her own name twice in a row.

In Japan, people generally only address each other by their first name if they are familiar with each other; otherwise, a respectful title is usually used.

Does she know herself?

Or did they know the original owner?

Chapter 268 Just a lick is enough

No, the original owner was just an ordinary person and could not possibly have any relationship with her. The original owner had no memory of her at all and definitely did not know her.

He denied his conjecture.

"Then, I'll leave the Great Ball to you."

The priestess continued.

"Hmm...?" Morikawa Yu frowned, "Otamamaru?"

The pronunciations of "tama" and "goku" are different in Japanese, and he keenly sensed something was wrong, but he could still guess that the other person was talking about "Oogakumaru".

"Daotamaru was the name given to her by the First Generation in order to remove the divinity from her and help her become a pure demon or a human."

The priestess looked at Daigokumaru.

"She just prefers her original name, so she wants to wait until she becomes a demon or a human before officially changing her name to Daitamaru."

"However, in my opinion, her attachment to the name Ōgyomaru is the last obstacle to her becoming a pure demon and a human, so please refer to her by the name Ōgyomaru."

Otamaru pursed his lips and gave a soft snort, but did not refute.

Morikawa Yu frowned but did not respond.

He wasn't interested in such things, but the priestess spoke to him very seriously.

This made him feel increasingly strange.

The priestess seemed to realize he wasn't interested and remained silent for a while.

She looked at Otamaru again: "Otamaru, when will you completely eliminate your divinity, or defeat Mori... defeat him, or he take over the position of god, and then return to Ise?"

Daitamaru was taken aback.

She thought the deity was just saying things out of anger.

Now it seems she really wants to follow this human.

Morikawa Yuya frowned again.

He heard the priestess call his name again, but she changed her words at the last minute.

Something is wrong, this is very wrong.

He didn't know her, yet she addressed him that way.

The shrine maiden glanced at Morikawa Yu again, as if she had something to say, hesitated for a moment, and then her figure was gradually enveloped in golden light and slowly disappeared.

As she left, many figures appeared at the edge of the square; they were all people who had been in the square before.

The purification zone was lifted, and all these people returned.

However, most of them still looked dazed, and after a while, they acted as if nothing had happened and continued doing what they were doing before.

Morikawa Yu frowned, somewhat unaccustomed to this strange sight.

He paused for a moment before looking at Daimamaru.

"Dao Yu Wan, is it? Your lord has abandoned you?"

Daitamaru nodded, then shook his head.

"No, it seems she wants me to follow you..."

"So now you're my prisoner too?" he asked again.

Ootamaru hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Yes, I will stay with you for now and will no longer help Qingluo. I will go back after this matter is over."

In reality, she didn't know if she could go back, since the priestess had given her three requests, and it seemed that she had to fulfill one of them before she could return.

"Alright, you'll come back to the shrine with me later. Behave yourself, and I'll release you after we defeat Qingluo."

Morikawa Hane released the hilt of Tsurumaru's sword.

"By the way, does your god know me?"

He seemed to suddenly remember something and looked at Daimamaru again.

Ootamaru subconsciously shook his head:

"How could that be? I've been with Her Majesty since she was a child. I know everyone she knows, except for you..."

She hesitated for a moment as she spoke.

"...No, maybe I might even know you."

Upon hearing this, Morikawa Yu looked at her.

Daitamaru shook his head but remained silent.

"why did not you tell me?"

Morikawa Yu became interested.

She shook her head again: "The matter you asked involves the authority of the God, and I will not reveal it."

Morikawa Yu stared at her, but she kept her mouth shut.

He suddenly felt bored.

However, her words also gave him a hint: the power of the Priestess Hime.

I'll ask Ryoko later; maybe she knows.

He waved to Ibaraki and the others, then pointed towards the shrine and Mount Inari from a few blocks away, and headed in that direction.

......

More than half an hour later, Morikawa Yu and his group returned to the shrine.

He brought the four demon kings to meet Ryoko and Mitsuko, after which Mitsuko had the shrine maiden take the demon kings to a side hall of the shrine to rest.

Morikawa Yu then recounted what had just happened to them.

Mitsuko hugged his arm, which had been injured by Daitamamaru, with heartache: "Morikawa, you're hurt."

"It's out of the way."

He said helplessly, "It's just a minor injury."

"I've almost fully recovered now."

After systematic enhancement, his physical attributes are not much worse than those of a monster, and his recovery ability is also very strong.

Unless it's a serious injury, most people can recover quickly.

It's just that I need to change this trench coat.

Fighting can really wear out your clothes.

I might as well just change into the [True Damage] trench coat later.

Even if it's a minor injury, you're still injured.

Mitsuko gazed at him intently, then reached out to his shoulder: "Take off your clothes, let me lick your wounds..."
