I'm having fun in Tokyo

The two left the main hall plaza with Shinkaku and headed back to where they came from, leaving only Otamaru standing there, hesitant and undecided.

After walking a distance, Morikawa Yu couldn't help but tug at Mitsuko's hand and ask, "Was what you just said true?"

Mitsuko shook her head.

"Of course it's fake."

She hugged his arm and whispered in his ear, "I was just upset that she lied to you, so I was just teasing her."

Morikawa Yu also smiled.

He guessed that the big fox wanted to avenge him.

"But not all of it is fake."

Mitsuko sighed.

"It's true that the Priestess wants to ease our relationship through her."

Morikawa Yu nodded: "So what are you going to do?"

Although he was curious about the priestess, he was more wary of her and did not want to have any relationship with her.

Mitsuko pondered for a moment: "Let's leave her alone for now."

"My strength hasn't been restored yet, and the situation in Kyoto isn't stable. I'll go and see what she's up to once I've recovered."

"Yes." Morikawa Yu nodded.

The fox's strength has not yet recovered, so it's indeed difficult to make any plans.

Moreover, now that things in Kyoto are over, and after I've finished dealing with other matters, it's time for me to return to Tokyo to hold my wedding.

......

time flies.

After asking Ootamaru about the matter, Morikawa Yu and Mitsuko returned to her palace together.

In the evening, he had dinner with Mitsuko and Ryoko, and then invited Asaka and Kurozo to discuss the investigation of those small families and the search for the remnants of the Qingluo faction.

The next day, Morikawa Yu, along with Shinkaku and Meikaku, began investigating the smaller, collateral branches of the Abe family.

The screening method is very simple: all the family members are included in a list, and then questioned and investigated in conjunction with lie detector tests and mind reading.

Of course, this is only the overt investigation method.

The real investigation was that he used his powers to enter the path of history to see if this person was connected to Qingluo.

Because he had met Qingluo and fought with him, he could determine the relationship between that person and Qingluo as long as he saw someone on the Path of History whose path connected to Qingluo.

Even so, there are still too many people to investigate, and the workload is quite large.

Although he didn't have to worry about the depletion of his power, the frequent use of his power and his entry into the path of history were taking a toll on his consciousness.

Ultimately, he had to limit the number of people he reviewed each day to a dozen or so, and it took him almost half a month to complete the task.

The results of the investigation were quite good.

There are indeed remnants of Qingluo hidden within two families.

These people were not imprinted with Qingluo's secret techniques, nor did they have the bloodline of the Ghost Clan, but they were deeply trusted by Qingluo and secretly pledged their loyalty to her.

They originally thought they wouldn't be discovered by the shrine and the other two families, and even planned to hide their identities, looking for an opportunity to take revenge on Morikawa Yu, who had executed Qinglu during the campaign against Qinglu, before leaving Kyoto.

But they didn't expect that Morikawa Yu would actually bring Mingjue and the others directly to them.

The moment Mingjue saw these people, she sensed what they were thinking. She reminded Morikawa Yu and together they dealt with them directly.

Another family secretly withdrew after realizing something was wrong, but were arrested by the Fujiwara and Tokugawa families who had been monitoring them.

With this, the remnants of the Qingluo faction were also dealt with.

It was a pity that there weren't any particularly capable members among the remnants.

He thought he could gain some experience points along the way, but all those people combined gave him less than two hundred experience points.

But even a small mosquito is still meat. With 200 experience points plus the daily experience points from the past two weeks, he had 500 experience points. He used them along with the experience points he gained from defeating Qingluo to level up to 12, with 1870/3000 experience points.

In addition to the experience points, he also redeemed an Infinity Blade and an enhanced APTX4869, leaving him with 950 store points.

The Infinity Blade grants a 20% critical strike chance, and for every 20% increase in critical strike chance, critical strike damage is increased by 8%.

His original critical strike chance was 20%, which doubled to 40% after the passive, and reached 80% after adding the critical strike chance from the Infinity Blade. Critical strike damage increased by 32%, plus the 20% bonus from the "I am the storm" skill, for a total of 52%.

In other words, four out of his five strikes were critical hits, and the damage of a critical hit was increased by half, making each strike deal two and a half times the normal damage!

This improvement was greater than any before, and it greatly improved his mood.

But that wasn't what made him happiest.

What pleased him most was that the great fox had gradually regained its original strength during its two-week rest.

Although the Great Fox no longer holds the position of Inari God, she remains the head deity of Kyoto and a powerful divine being of the Age of Gods, whose power is in no way inferior to that of Ryoko and Hizuki, standing at the pinnacle of Japan.

The big fox was in a good mood and wanted to hold a banquet to celebrate.

The banquet was to be held at Nijo Castle, where the meeting of the three main families was originally scheduled.

It is worth mentioning that Kaoru Kashima, the daughter of the Great Fox, also received an increase in divine power as the Great Fox's strength was restored.

As long as she continues to serve the Great Fox, she will possess power no less than that of Asaka and Kurozo, thanks to the Great Fox's divine blessing.

So she was also entrusted with hosting and preparing the banquet.

He and Mitsuko remained at the shrine, waiting for the banquet to begin before attending together.

With nothing else to do, Morikawa Yu suddenly remembered a question.

A few days ago, my sister sent me a message, complaining about him for staying in Kyoto for too long and urging him to go back home.

Feiyue didn't send a message, but her sister said in the message that Feiyue was ready to come to Kyoto and take him back directly.

Chapter 294 The Great Shark in My House

He was investigating the remnants of the Qingluo faction at the time, so he only replied with a message and did not call back.

Now that he thinks about it, he can't help but feel a little guilty.

Scarlet Moon...could she have already arrived?

She won't just show up at the banquet that night and start fighting with the big fox, will she?

Morikawa Yu was somewhat worried.

He thought about it and decided to call his sister first.

Otherwise, if this situation were to actually occur, who knows if they would tear down the entire city of Kyoto.

He turned on his phone and dialed his sister's number.

The call was answered quickly.

Because my sister spends most of her time at home in front of the computer, she always answers the phone very quickly.

Moreover, she doesn't have the habit of giving her phone number to others; only herself and a few others, including her editor, Ms. Harumi Nagasaka, know her number.

"Little brother, why did it take you so long to call back?"

The older sister asked directly, her tone not very pleasant.

"Is it that fox that has bewitched you so much that you've completely forgotten about me and Feiyue? Hmm? Little brother?"

"Hmph, I've long heard that no man is any good."

“Now it seems to be true.”

Morikawa Ha: "..."

Upon closer reflection, I realize I have indeed become a big pig's trotter.

He quickly explained, "Of course not, sister."

"I thought I was about to go back, so I replied to the message first, planning to go straight home and give you guys a surprise. But I found out that things here are not over yet."

"I've been following up on leads these past two days, which is why I haven't gone back."

"Really?" His sister clearly didn't believe him, her tone skeptical. "Since the investigation took up time, why didn't you call back to explain?"

"Huh? Why?"

Morikawa Ha: "..."

I guess my sister is really angry.

Otherwise, she would have accepted the excuse I just made up instead of continuing to press me.

"Sister, I'm going back tomorrow. I'll definitely spend more time with you when I get home!"

"Hmph, the same old excuse again. He always says he'll spend more time with me, but he never keeps his word. He's either lazy and sleeping in, or practicing kendo. Lately, he hasn't even come back for half a month..."

"Sister!" Morikawa Yu quickly interrupted her sister.

"This time I promise, we'll go...go on a hot spring trip! How about a hot spring trip!"

"A hot spring trip?" The older sister hesitated for a moment.

“Yes! A hot spring trip!” Morikawa Yu repeated.

He remembered that a hot spring trip was on his sister's wish list for Hiyue, but Hiyue wasn't there at the time, and his sister wanted the two of them to go together.

"Just the two of us, as compensation for you, sister, how about it?"

"Well... isn't that a bit inappropriate?" The older sister hesitated for a moment. "Even if it's compensation for me, won't Hiigetsu be angry if we don't take her on the hot spring trip?"

She'll definitely be angry if I don't bring Feiyue.

Morikawa Yu muttered something to herself, but didn't dare say it aloud.

He tentatively suggested, "How about the three of us?"

Actually, he was thinking of having the three of them together, but his sister couldn't eat, so it would be more fun to soak in the hot spring with his wife.

"Hmm...okay." The older sister's tone softened considerably. "Then I won't pursue the matter of you not making a phone call."

Morikawa Yu nodded, understanding the unspoken meaning in her sister's words.

She didn't pursue the matter further, but Fei Yue might not.

"Then I'll hang up now, I'll call Feiyue later."

"Huh? Why did you hang up and then call again? Feiyue is right next to me, I could have just given her the phone." Her sister's voice faded into the distance, and then she could hear soft breathing on the other end of the line.

Morikawa Yu's face stiffened.

Damn, Scarlet Moon is right next to us?

Sister, why didn't you say anything?

If I just said that I'd go on a hot spring trip with you without her, wouldn't she have heard all of that?

"Ah...Hizuki...no, wife, my dear wife! My darling wife! Um, I...I was discussing it with my sister, it wasn't that we weren't going to take you on the hot spring trip..."

Morikawa Yu wanted to explain.

But there was no sound from the other end of the phone.

Just as he was wondering what to do and whether Feiyue was really angry, he heard a soft laugh from the other end, as if she couldn't help it.

It was my sister's laughter.

Damn it, could it be that Fei Yue isn't here at all, and my sister is just playing a trick on me?

Sister, you're getting more and more mischievous.

He sighed.

That's true. It's possible that Hiizuki is already on her way to Kyoto, and she's probably not at home either.

He hesitated for a moment, then prepared to ask his sister where Feiyue had gone.

But just as he was about to speak, he heard a voice from the other end of the phone: "Husband."

It was undoubtedly Fei Yue's voice, cool and aloof yet carrying a hint of dissatisfaction, making his heart tighten.

It turns out that it wasn't that her older sister had become naughty; Fei Yue really was right beside her.
