She didn't actually mind Morikawa Hana becoming the head priest of Kyoto.

Rather, she actually wanted him to stay in Kyoto and not return to Tokyo, so that she wouldn't have to go to Tokyo either.

Aside from being more peaceful, Tokyo didn't offer her anything particularly appealing.

Only a traitor like Nishino would think of living in Tokyo, getting so close to him, and stealing his place.

She glared fiercely at Nishino.

The kitten girl noticed her gaze and immediately turned her head away in a huff.

On the other side, at the Tokugawa family's seat.

Kurozo sat in the head seat, his beautiful face showing no surprise.

She wasn't actually surprised by what Mitsuko had suddenly said at the banquet.

Several days earlier, when she met with Mitsuko about the banquet, Mitsuko had hinted at what might happen at the banquet.

At that time, she roughly understood what Mitsuko wanted to do.

As for Morikawa Yu becoming the head priest of Kyoto, she didn't have any further thoughts.

Even if Morikawa Yu becomes the head priest of Kyoto, for a long time to come, it will be Mitsuko, Kaoru Kashima, and the shrine maidens who will handle the affairs of Kyoto.

Lady Mitsuko would definitely not let him handle these matters directly.

In that case, there's nothing to worry about.

As she drank, she noticed Morikawa Yu's gaze and raised her glass to him with a slight smile.

Morikawa Yu also nodded to her.

He withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at anyone else.

Mitsuko reminded him.

The attitude of everyone around him when he entered Nijo Castle, stepped into the Honmaru Palace, and sat down here said it all.

Fujiwara Keisuke, Abe Haruhiko, the four demon kings, Tokugawa Hiroto, and many others he hadn't directly spoken to, did not express any dissatisfaction with him; in fact, many of them wore expressions of anticipation.

He didn't understand why they supported him at first, but after the big fox pointed out his shortcomings, he roughly understood what those people were thinking.

Compared to the Great Fox, he might not be a mature leader, nor does he have enough experience and composure to handle affairs in Kansai. However, the Great Fox would stand behind him, help him, and prevent him from acting recklessly.

Aside from this concern, they saw more of the benefits of becoming gods for them.

For example, if you are young and inexperienced, it means that you are easily influenced by the outside world, and you will reciprocate their support with kindness and goodwill.

Of course, this does not mean that they have any ulterior motives towards me, but rather that I am on their side of interests, which is the so-called "when one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs rise to heaven".

If she's a big fox, she doesn't care about one or a few people; she's more concerned with the overall interests of Kansai.

In this situation, they naturally hope to go further and achieve a higher position.

Finally, Morikawa Yu shook her head.

"Forget it, let's talk about this later."

Mitsuko paused slightly, then sighed.

"You really don't want my position as the supreme god?"

Chapter 308 As steady as I am, I will never crash.

Morikawa Yu nodded: "Yes, I'm still young, and we have a long time to get to know each other, so why rush things?"

As for those who are willing to support him, he will definitely help them if they encounter difficulties.

Before this, he did not want to become a so-called "leader" and did not want to be bound by constraints.

He didn't even want Ryoko's position as the head priest.

It was only because she couldn't find an opportunity to drug Ryoko that she hesitated to take out the shrinking drug and kept it on her person.

When the opportunity arises, he will definitely give the medicine to Ryoko to solve her lifespan problem.

“From now on…” Mitsuko sighed.

In fact, she made other preparations as well.

For example, when the banquet is about to end, she will take everyone from the Honmaru Palace and the Ninomaru Palace to the Honmaru Garden to watch the Kagura dance performed by ordinary shrine maidens and the Kendo demonstration by the battle shrine maiden troupe.

As her power was restored, the Battle Priestess's strength returned to the level she had when she first became a god.

Each of the battle priestesses in the priestess corps possesses power no less than that of a great demon.

With over sixty such battle priestesses, plus Kaoru Kashima, the top-tier high-ranking yokai, and herself as a god and a yokai of the age of gods, they were enough to suppress the entire Kansai region and make those who had not yet accepted reality put aside their inappropriate thoughts.

When that time comes, she will take the opportunity to ask Morikawa what he thinks.

If he's interested in the shrine maiden troupe, that would be perfect.

But since Morikawa doesn't want to accept this position, there's no need for me to do these pointless things.

She nodded: "Okay, I'll give you this position when you want it later."

Morikawa Yu also nodded.

Liangzi picked up her teacup, took a sip of tea, and smiled slightly.

From beginning to end, she didn't say a word or express her opinion; she just silently watched Mitsuko and Morikawa Yu.

Mitsuko wanted to give the position of God Chief to Morikawa. It would be good if he accepted, but it wouldn't matter if he didn't.

Anyway, as long as she and Morikawa are together, I don't need to worry about what will happen to me.

Once we get back to Tokyo, I'll tell Morikawa the last things I need to tell him...

On the other side of the seating area, Mingjue's expression finally changed.

She glanced at Ryoko with concern, as if she wanted to say something.

Ryoko shook her head.

Her expression darkened, she sighed, and gave up on speaking.

"So you're going back to Tokyo tomorrow, right, Morikawa?"

Mitsuko thought for a moment, then spoke again.

Morikawa Yu nodded: "Yes, I'll go back tomorrow with Shin-kaku and Nishino, on the Fujiwara family's private jet."

Mitsuko hummed in agreement and took his hand: "I want to go to Tokyo with you too, otherwise I won't let you leave."

"Why?" Morikawa Yu asked instinctively.

“Because I’m worried about you going back to Tokyo.” Mitsuko sighed softly, looking at him with a wistful gaze. “After you go back, Hiigetsu will definitely not let you come to Kyoto again.”

"Without you, there's no point in me staying in Kyoto. I might as well go to Tokyo with you. That way, I can keep an eye on Hiigetsu and prevent her from running away."

"If she lays a hand on you, you definitely won't be able to resist..."

Morikawa Yu's expression froze again.

Mitsuko narrowed her eyes instantly, looking at him suspiciously: "Morikawa, are you hiding something from me?"

"No," he said firmly.

Actually, yes, after he goes back, Feiyue will hold a wedding with him, and then he will go on a hot spring trip with Feiyue and his sister.

After the hot spring trip, he will go to participate in the Kuisei Flag event with Emi, Maki-sensei, and the school's kendo club.

Besides these things, he will also formally teach his apprentice Keiko Takeda, and do the things on his sister's wish list with Himeki, enjoying their youth.

But if the big fox goes back with them, it won't be about enjoying youth; it'll be a nightmare...

No, I can’t think about it anymore.

The big fox's gaze towards him was already strange.

Mitsuko kept staring at his face.

Although he concealed it well, she was a great demon from the age of gods, who had lived for thousands of years. What couldn't she guess?

She scoffed, "Honestly, if you don't want to talk about it, you don't want to talk about it. What's the point of denying it?"

Morikawa Yu had nothing to say, so she changed the subject: "Actually, it's nothing. I just took on a disciple, and I'm going to teach her kendo when I get back."

I'm sorry, Keiko-chan.

My master is in trouble, so I have to use you to cover for him.

You're not as cute as Emi, so even if your mistress Mitsuko knew about you, she wouldn't do anything to you.

"That's it?" Mitsuko frowned. "What's there to hide from me?"

"No, not at all." Morikawa Yu smiled, changing the subject again, "Isn't the situation in Kyoto still not completely stable?"

"I'll be coming to Kyoto again in a few days for the wedding of Fujiwara Keisuke and Ms. Abe. You should finish up your business in Kyoto quickly, and then we can go back together."

Upon hearing this, Mitsuko frowned slightly.

She looked at Morikawa Yu, then glanced at Kashima Kaoru, and thought for a moment: "That works too."

"Once the situation in Kyoto is stabilized, I'll go to Tokyo with you."

Morikawa Yu nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

nailed it.

Once these few days are over, after the wedding with Fei Yue, I can eat her and give her my virginity, and she'll stop caring about me and the big fox.

Once the big fox arrives, I'll spend some quality time with her; that way, I won't have to worry about a chaotic situation.

He smiled.

Mizuko smiled gently: "Then let's eat first, enjoy today's banquet, and get a good rest so we can catch our flight tomorrow."

Morikawa Yu nodded, letting out a sigh of relief.

In any case, I've managed to get the matter off the hook.

As steady as I am, I will definitely not make a mistake.

On the other side, Asaka and Kurozo had been watching the situation closely, their brows furrowed slightly.

Since Mitsuko no longer insisted, the outcome was already decided.

Asaka scoffed, "That sounds nice, but all he does is avoid taking responsibility. What a jerk!"

“Mr. Morikawa is not a scumbag,” Nishino retorted softly.

She wanted to go to Tokyo, and Mr. Morikawa had taken her in as a follower and treated her very well. How could he be a scumbag?

"Nishino, shut up, don't say a word."

"Oh."

After a brief moment of thought, the catgirl decided to stop provoking Asaka.

......

The banquet ended quickly.

Morikawa Yu, Mitsuko, and Shinkaku returned to the shrine and packed their things that evening, preparing to take Shinkaku and Nishino back to Tokyo the next morning.

As expected, Mitsuko kept her word and did not stop him.

But she didn't see him off at the airport, or even say goodbye, which made him worry that she might be angry or unhappy.

However, Kashima Kaoru, who led the group to see him off with Shinkaku and Nishino, told him not to worry, saying that she wasn't angry, she just didn't want to say goodbye to him and was looking forward to seeing him again.

He breathed a sigh of relief and then boarded the plane.

Chapter 309 He's clearly a Ghost King, yet he wants to join the Extreme Path—is he mistaken? (Third Update)

This time, the plane he took back to Tokyo was the same Fujiwara family private plane that Fujiwara Keisuke had used to invite him last time.

This time, however, Asaka and her family's guardian spirits were not on the plane. Only he, Shinkaku, and Nishino were there, along with Fujiwara Shiori, Fujiwara Shino, and Tokugawa Maka, the three shrine officials who came to see him off.

Besides Moka and the others, the four demon kings, including Ibuki, also came along.

When the banquet ended yesterday, Ibuki learned that Morikawa Yu was going back to Tokyo, so she discussed it with Ibaraki and the others and asked him to go to Tokyo with her.
