I'm having fun in Tokyo

He heard the system notification sound again.

"System notification: Slay the powerful enemy 'Qingluo' and destroy the malicious 'Evil Desire Ghost God'."

"【Night Messenger】Experience bonus 50%, total experience gained 1500, and shop points 5000."

"Current experience 3410/2000, current store points 10550."

"Gain the resolve 'I am the storm,' effect: ignores 20% of the enemy's defense, increases critical hit chance by 10%, and increases critical hit damage by 20%."

The rewards are quite substantial, and there's also a new resolution.

Morikawa Yu's expression remained unchanged, but she was secretly delighted.

He had expected the rewards for defeating Qingluo to be substantial, but he hadn't anticipated this many.

With 1500 experience points, plus the original 1910 experience points, he has enough to level up and still have half left over.

5000 shop points are enough to exchange for the appropriate version of the shrinking potion that Ryoko can take, and the remaining 5550 shop points can be used to buy divine equipment without any worries.

There's also the new "I am the storm" decree, which increases armor penetration, critical strike rate, and critical strike damage, with effects comparable to a god-tier item.

He looked at the system interface.

Overall, there has been a significant improvement.

He had originally planned to upgrade directly, exchange for the shrinking potion, and buy himself a divine piece of equipment, but then he suddenly remembered that he was still holding Yujinzi.

He snapped out of his daze and met Mitsuko's eyes.

She nestled in his arms, looking up at him, her light blue eyes filled with resentment.

"Morikawa, hold me. Do you get so impatient with me? You're always so easily distracted."

"of course not!"

Morikawa Yu shook her head decisively.

"It's not because I'm impatient!"

But he didn't say why; he just looked at her.

Mitsuko tilted her head, then suddenly blushed.

Asaka, who had been watching the two of them, immediately realized what had happened and spat at him, "Pervert, let go of Lady Mitsuko!"

Kurozo paused slightly, looking at Mitsuko and Morikawa Yu, as if he understood something. He turned his head away, his face slightly flushed.

Morikawa Yu sighed inwardly, but ignored Asaka.

He was holding his gun down, so he didn't do anything perverted.

However, he felt that if he kept holding it in like this, he would eventually lose his temper.

"Big fox, let's go back to the shrine first."

His expression turned serious.

"I have something I'd like to ask Ryoko."

Chapter 287 Why are you still here?

"Ah."

Mitsuko nodded without asking him what it was about.

She called to Asaka and Kurozo, and together they left the temporary headquarters...

......

The group quickly returned to the shrine, where they met Kashima Kaoru and the battle shrine maidens who were resting.

After confirming that the Abe family members and the demon clan had all been killed, they returned to the shrine, only a little earlier than the others.

When Kaoru Kashima saw Mitsuko return, she summarized their battle on the outskirts for Mitsuko.

Mitsuko, Asaka, and Kurozo remained in the shrine square.

Morikawa Yu went ahead alone and found Yoshiko in the main hall of the shrine.

Ryoko stood in front of the main hall, deep in thought, with Shinkaku and Daitamaru beside her.

Xinjue stood there obediently, very close to Liangzi, looking like she wanted to hug Liangzi's leg and was very insecure.

Otamaru held his phone in his hand, tapping the buttons lightly with his fingers, as if he was extremely bored.

Morikawa Yu frowned as she looked at the idle demon king girl.

He thought Ootamaru had already left, but he didn't expect her to still be here.

"Owner!"

Xin Jue reacted first, waved to Sen Chuan Yu, and ran over.

Before she even got close, she suddenly took a step back: "Eek! Master, your eyes are terrifying!"

"My eyes are scary? Are they?"

Morikawa Yu was slightly startled.

“Of course… just like the look in Hisukatsuki-sama’s eyes when she asked me to help you solve the problem the night before we came to Kyoto.” Shinjue said, covering her throat.

"Thinking back to that night now, I have a sore throat. It was awful."

Morikawa Yu stared at her, then glanced at Otamaru and Ryoko not far away, never expecting her to bring this up.

Ootamaru also noticed the commotion and looked over at Morikawa Yu and Shinkaku.

Upon hearing "solving the problem" and "sore throat," she immediately understood what Xin Jue was referring to, and looked at Morikawa Yu with considerable disdain.

Morikawa Yu suddenly felt a little guilty.

But he immediately realized he had nothing to be ashamed of and glared back without hesitation.

Xinjue is her own maid, but only the kind who can be a mascot and a lie detector. Yesterday, when Mingjue read her mind and caused her social death, she was thinking about using her maid identity to openly do strange things.

If it's something that's consensual, there's no need to feel guilty.

He grabbed Xinjue by the back of her collar, dragged her closer to Dayumaru, and asked her, "Why are you still here?"

Daiyu Maru curled her lip slightly, still giving him that same look of disdain and contempt.

"It has nothing to do with you."

"Just ask your maid to solve the problem, don't worry about me."

She emphasized the words "solve the problem".

Morikawa Yu frowned.

He looked her over, then suddenly laughed and said, "Tell me to leave you alone?"

"Your master isn't here. Does that mean she doesn't want you anymore?"

"No, no?"

"Could there really be an owner who would abandon her shikigami?"

Isn't it just being sarcastic and sarcastic?

Who wouldn’t?

Daiyu's face immediately darkened.

The priestess did not take her with her, nor did she say that she would return to Ise with her.

She was also worried about this matter, but she didn't expect Morikawa Yu to be so sarcastic towards her, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

But thinking that she might not be able to beat him, she forcibly suppressed her anger.

Ryoko also came to her senses at this time.

She had noticed Morikawa Yu's arrival earlier than Shinjuku and Otamaru, but she didn't speak because she hadn't finished thinking about what she was considering.

She smiled slightly at Morikawa Yu.

"You're back, Morikawa?"

Morikawa Yu nodded and pulled Shinkaku to Ryoko's side.

Xinjue looked at Liangzi, then at him, hugged his waist, and tried to crawl into the imperial vermilion curtain in his arms.

Morikawa Yu grabbed her arm: "Don't rush back yet, Shinjue."

"I happen to have something to tell you."

He recounted to her the plan he had just discussed with Kurozo and the others for dealing with the collateral branches of the Abe family.

"In short, I want you and Miss Mingjue to go and investigate those collateral family members to see if there are any who have escaped. Do you understand?"

Xinjue quickly shook her head: "No, Master, I'm just a mascot. What if I really encounter danger during the investigation and get killed?"

“That’s why I wanted Miss Mingjue to come with you.” Morikawa Yu looked at Ryoko.

“Miss Mingjue is a high-ranking demon with great power. She can definitely protect you. Moreover, she can read minds. Combined with your ability to detect lies, she is more than capable of handling this matter.”

Ryoko listened to Morikawa Yu's words and nodded to him: "Mingjue."

She called out softly.

A beautiful girl with long gray hair quickly appeared from Ryoko's goshuincho and stood beside her; it was Meikaku.

Morikawa Yu recalled her previous experience of being mentally read by Mingjue, which led to her social demise. She immediately cleared her mind and focused only on what she wanted to say.

Mingjue looked at him and nodded gently: "I understand. You want me to investigate those collateral families with this Miss Xinjue to see if there are any remaining Qingluo remnants, right?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Ryoko with a questioning look in her eyes.

Ryoko nodded: "Don't ask me. Just take Shinkaku with you and help Morikawa finish this task. Come back after it's over."

"Yes, Mr. Ryoko."

Mingjue nodded.

She looked at Morikawa Yu, and then together they looked at Shinjue.
