I'm having fun in Tokyo

Morikawa Yu looked at Daitamaru: "Let's hear what she says about not lying."

Xinjue landed on the ground and nodded to him.

Liangzi also glanced at Mingjue: "Listen to what she's thinking."

Mingjue nodded as well.

Daiyu Maru gritted her teeth: "I don't know why Master took him away, I really don't know!"

"My master didn't tell me what to do at all, he just told me to follow this human, so I stayed here, and now I'm being humiliated by you all, is that enough!"

Xinjue kept staring at Da Yuwan and raised her little hand: "Master, it's the truth."

Mingjue nodded as well: "That's exactly what she was thinking."

Ryoko frowned slightly.

Morikawa Yu sighed.

Since Shinjue said that Ootamaru was telling the truth, that means she really didn't know what the Priestess was thinking.

That priestess is really mysterious.

Ryoko waved her hand, releasing Daitamaru from his restraints.

Daitamaru landed on the ground, using his right hand to support himself with his sword, silently adjusting his skirt, and then sheathing Kenmei.

She turned around and walked towards the outside of the main hall square.

"what are you up to?"

Morikawa Yu called out.

She paused, then turned around: "None of your business!?"

Morikawa Yu was taken aback.

Liangzi shook her head: "Don't worry about her."

Daitamaru quickened his pace again.

"Are you sure we don't need to worry about it?" Morikawa Yu couldn't help but ask.

Ryoko nodded: "Mm."

"She looks like she's about to leave, but actually she wants me to apologize to her with you and try to persuade her to stay."

“Even if we do nothing, she will come back after leaving the shrine.”

Morikawa Yu looked at Ryoko with a strange expression, as if asking if it was true or not.

Ryoko chuckled softly, but remained silent.

At the edge of the square, Daitama stopped in his tracks.

She clenched her fists and turned around angrily: "You've gone too far!"

When Morikawa Yu saw her like this, she immediately realized that Ryoko's guess was correct.

After shouting, Daitamaru fell silent.

She sat down on the ground, looking at Morikawa Yu and Ryoko with resentment.

Morikawa Yu stared at her for a long time, then lowered her voice: "Ryoko, is she really the demon god of Ise?"

Why does he seem like a willful high school student?

No, I feel like even a high school student is more mature than her.

“Yes.” Ryoko beckoned, signaling Meikaku to return to her goshuin-chō (temple). “What, doesn’t she seem like it?”

"Not exactly," Morikawa Yu shook his head.

Ootamaru is very strong and possesses the body of a demon god. Although her divinity is very weak, this is enough to prove her former identity.

He was just curious why she would act this way.

"Are you asking why she's throwing a childish tantrum?" Ryoko's smile returned. "It's probably because she was genuinely angry."

Is it abnormal for older people to act like children when they're angry?

Upon hearing Ryoko's words, Morikawa Yu's expression immediately turned strange.

He thought Ryoko would tell him some secrets, but she only said that Otamaru was getting old, which was why he was behaving this way.

This statement makes a lot of sense, because people do indeed become more like children as they get older.

But because it makes so much sense, it sounds like nonsense.

“You’re the one who’s getting old!” Ootamaru finally spoke again, looking at Ryoko with resentment.

"You wicked woman, you old hag! You're only half immortal, yet you're still pretending to be young. Sooner or later..."

Otamaru's tone suddenly faltered, and his body began to tremble.

A dense, tangible golden light gathered around her, and the ground around her suddenly sank several centimeters, becoming as smooth and clean as if it had been sliced ​​off, resembling a mirror.

"Sooner or later?" Ryoko still had the same smile, her beautiful face showing no sign of anger.

However, the square in front of the main hall seemed to have fallen into a deathly silence, and even the air seemed to have stopped moving.

Morikawa Haha almost laughed.

Ootamaru's behavior was practically like running up to the youkai sage in Gensokyo and calling Yakumo Yukari an old woman; he was probably really driven mad with anger.

But sensing the awkward atmosphere, he held back his laughter.

"Sooner or later... sooner or later..." Daitamaru muttered "sooner or later" for a long time without getting to the bottom of it, and then lowered his head in frustration.

Ryoko withdrew her divine power, and her gentle smile returned.

“It’s okay to be angry, because I care about Morikawa and offended you, so I can tolerate your disrespect and let you walk around here as you please.”

"But don't speak recklessly, you know?"

Ootamaru hesitated before nodding: "Yes, Lord Ryoko."

"You can't even curse in your heart?" Ryoko added.

Daiyu Maru's face turned pale.

Chapter 291 Having lived a long time, I've seen a lot (Third update)

She remembered that Meijue, who was by Ryoko's side, could read minds, so she immediately stopped complaining and looked at Ryoko carefully.

After giving her warning, Ryoko stopped looking at her and said, "Let's go, Morikawa."

Morikawa Yu nodded and followed.

Xinjue followed him, tugged at his sleeve to make him stop, and returned to his imperial tent.

Morikawa Yu glanced back at Otamaru again and found her staring at him with a dejected look.

"Don't you think she's not like a strong person, nor like a terrifying ghost or god from history, but rather like a high school student who does whatever she wants and is very willful?"

Ryoko walked ahead, glanced back at Daitamaru, and suddenly said.

Morikawa Yu nodded.

"Yes, that's true. Why would she do that?"

"Is it because her divinity was removed?"

He remembered the priestess saying that the divinity in Ootamaru had been erased by the priestesses of each generation, and that he was now very close to being a human or a demon.

Could this be the reason she developed this personality?

“That’s one reason, but it’s not the only reason,” Ryoko sighed.

"Divinity doesn't have that much influence on the personality of the possessor. The reason she is like this is because she is a superior being among the demons, a long-lived species completely different from us humans."

Morikawa Yu nodded, but did not reply.

Although he is now married to Hiizuki, has a great yokai wife from the God Era, and has a close relationship with the Great Fox, he doesn't know many high-ranking yokai.

Hiizuki and the Great Fox definitely count, as does Asaka.

He was not familiar with Kurozo, the ancestral god of the Tokugawa family, and he had only known the three demon kings, Ibuki and the others, for a short time, not to mention Myokaku, whom he had only met a few times.

His wife, Feiyue, undoubtedly possessed the aura of someone in a superior position. She left a deep impression on him when they first met, and even after they got together, she still exuded a powerful aura, putting him in a very passive position.

The big fox also had a strong aura, but because it was close to him, it always liked to snuggle in his arms, and since its strength hadn't been restored, he didn't feel anything.

Another one is Asaka.

Asaka is undoubtedly willful, even more so than Ootamaru.

However, the more I interacted with her and the closer we got, the cuter I found her quite adorable. It was just that she made me so angry when we first met, but I'm much better now.

"The immortal species are, after all, different from us humans."

"It was Ryoko who said softly."

As she walked, she kept looking at the area not far away.

That is the front plaza of the shrine, not far from the main plaza.

After leaving the main hall plaza, he and Ryoko arrived at the worship hall, where they could see the front plaza at a glance.

Mitsuko was standing in the square talking to Kashima Kaoru beside her.

Kurozo followed Mitsuko with a smile on his face, while Asaka was holding the hands of two battle shrine maidens, talking about something.

"Did you notice, Morikawa?"

Morikawa Yu frowned.

What do you see?

Liangzi didn't wait for his reply, and chuckled lightly: "I was asking about their attitude towards people."

Morikawa Yu nodded, then glanced at Mitsuko and the others: "Quite easygoing?"

When Mitsuko spoke to Kaoru Kashima, it wasn't as if she were facing the Mikamiko who served her, but rather as if she were dealing with Asaka, in a very natural and gentle manner.

On the contrary, Kaoru Kashima appeared extremely serious, cautious, and reserved.

But isn't this normal?

Isn't the way superiors treat their subordinates inherently different from how subordinates treat their superiors?

He was a little confused and was about to ask when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Ordinary people in positions of power are not like the great fox, who would treat his servants so casually and naturally.

They emphasize a combination of kindness and severity, the so-called art of managing people, and those who are closer to the top of the power pyramid understand this principle more deeply.

It's just that they've held power for too long, which has made them lose their sense of pride in power, so they appear mild-mannered and lazy.

But if someone treats them normally, they will doubt whether they have lost their power, feel uncomfortable, and feel offended.

But Hiizuki, Ooko, and Asaka seem to be completely different.

At least the big fox wouldn't think that Asaka's antics were offensive, nor would she get angry over such a small matter.

Asaka wouldn't care about Fujiwara Shiori's attitude towards her. Although she said she wanted to maintain the dignity of the household god, she was actually the one with the least dignity.

My older sister is a ghost. Although she is a rare species of ghost, she is weak and almost disappeared. Meanwhile, Hiigetsu is one of the most powerful great yokai of the Age of Gods.

However, when her older sister throws a tantrum, she's the one who comforts her.

Is it because they possess absolute power, with great power residing within themselves, that they don't care?

When one possesses great power, one naturally inspires fear, so one doesn't care about the "power" of both kindness and severity; it's enough to simply show kindness.

Is this why immortal beings can be willful?

He glanced back at the direction of the main hall plaza, then at Asaka not far away, and roughly understood what Ryoko meant.

The superior beings among the immortal species mostly possess long lifespans and immense power, which in turn brings them extremely high status. However, monsters value the individual and therefore do not care about these byproducts brought by power.

They've seen everything they're supposed to see, and they've lived a long time; most things have lost their appeal to them.

Moreover, their power and long lifespan mean they don't need to care about so much like humans and ordinary monsters, so they have nothing to worry about and just want to be happy.

But if you say they are immature because of this, it's because they have lived long enough and have far more experience than humans can imagine, and have seen enough things.
