I'm having fun in Tokyo

"No, I'm just lecturing you," Wei Meng said irritably. "You look both pitiful and infuriating."

"Okay." Otamaru pouted.

Wei Meng paused for a moment before saying, "In short, I discussed it with the God Lord and exchanged ideas."

“We think that you might not have been motivated enough in Kyoto at the time. You felt that it was not worth fighting for Qingluo and the promise between the first generation and Inari, so you simply admitted defeat.”

"Now we're going to give you a new goal: to participate in this competition and defeat that human great swordsman."

"If you win, we will allow you to return to the shrine."

"If you lose and still retain some divinity, then you should leave the shrine."

"Anyway, you're still a high-ranking great demon, so living is easy... Tsk, I was just saying. It's hard for me to deal with your 'I can think about it' look, Tama-chan."

Daiyu Maru immediately became serious: "I understand."

"I'm not asking if you understand, I'm asking you to accept it wholeheartedly and put it into practice." Wei Meng sighed and looked at Daiyuwan seriously.

"Jade, the current situation can be changed."

"Simply denying effort and being complacent with the status quo will not change anything."

"If you don't succeed, it means you're working in the wrong direction."

"Only by truly doing it and persisting for enough time can you have a chance to succeed."

Daiyu Maru nodded seriously: "I always feel like Wei Meng is teaching me some life lessons from books. They sound very helpful, but they're not very useful."

Wei Meng sighed: "What I'm saying sounds nice, but it's useless. After all, there aren't many people who actually put those principles into practice, are there?"

Upon hearing this, Otamaru was taken aback and fell into deep thought.

Thinking about it that way, it seems so.

People are generally lenient with themselves but strict with others. Most people just talk big about principles but rarely put them into practice. Only a few people can stick to it to the end.

Those who don't just talk about principles but quietly put them into practice are often far more outstanding than others.

Wei Meng looked at her quietly until she looked up, then said, "Yu Jiang, in these nearly a thousand years, you have never truly persisted in anything."

“I can understand that. One characteristic of divinity is its inclusiveness, understanding, and lack of desire.”

"Now I'll ask you, do you like the Shrine? Do you like the current God? Do you want to preserve your life in the Shrine?"

Are you willing to change the current situation?

"If you're willing, then do it; if you're not, we won't care anymore."

“Of course I’m willing.” Otamaru nodded firmly, then sighed, “But I can’t beat that human great swordsman.”

“He cut off my demon horns last time, and it has only now grown them back.”

“The wound on my neck hasn’t healed yet. I don’t want to fight him. I know I have no chance of winning.”

Wei Meng frowned: "You've given up so quickly? Have you been influenced by the mixture of humanity and divinity again? Haven't you thought about why he was able to inflict such a heavy blow on you?"

"Didn't you ever think that a human swordsman like him could overcome the gap between top-tier demons and even gods and demons, and directly defeat Qingluo?"

"Why?" Ootamaru realized something was wrong.

"Because he's restrained by divinity, Jade-chan, you idiot." Wei Meng scolded softly.

"Why is he able to suppress his divinity?" Daitamaru was even more puzzled.

"Perhaps it's because he killed Inari, the god?" Wei Meng sighed softly.

"Inari is the last true god, so it's not surprising that the person who killed him would gain some power to suppress his divinity."

"However, this force has little impact on us, so we don't need to worry about it too much."

"Who said it won't have a big impact? I possess divinity, how can I fight if he's suppressing me?" Daimamaru immediately protested in dissatisfaction.

Wei Meng didn't speak, she just looked at her.

Daimamaru immediately realized what was happening.

"You wouldn't be planning to use him to eliminate my last vestige of divinity, would you?"

"No, it's just to give you more fighting spirit. Besides, even if he can remove the divinity, he'll deal with it by directly attacking you, which is simpler and more direct," Wei Meng continued.

“My intention is the same as that of the God. You use the battle with him to inspire your fighting spirit and will, and transform your final divinity into the corresponding humanity.”

"If you can do this in battle, you won't be affected by it, you'll recover some of your strength, and you'll be able to defeat him easily. If you can't, it's your fate to be killed by him."

"I feel like I'm full of fighting spirit," Daimamaru said subconsciously.

Wei Meng shook her head: "It's just a three-minute fad, what kind of fighting spirit is that?"

"Putting everything else aside, what do you think if I asked you to go and confess to him right now and fight him?"

Otamaru took a step back: "Didn't you say you wanted me to participate in the competition and fight him again? My neck injury hasn't even healed yet."

Wei Meng sighed: "Look at you now, how are you the same as before? You're backing down and making excuses again."

"However, I don't expect to change you with these words. I just want you to understand where the opportunity for change lies and to prepare you mentally."

"Although the God Lord won't let you return to the Divine Palace, you can go to the high school where you're experiencing life first."

"I will supervise you, help you, and try my best to help you develop a proper understanding."

"If you can truly eliminate the last vestiges of divinity in the battle, you will surely be able to defeat that human great swordsman. Only then can you return to the Divine Palace instead of being homeless, understand?"

Daitamaru nodded.

Wei Meng looked at her, shook her head, and finally stepped forward to hug Daiyuwan.

The crimson tree canopy and the pitch-black night behind her began to dissipate, and the surrounding scenery returned to its original state, revealing the original street...

......

"Ah!"

At home, Morikawa Yu sneezed.

Although I know that all the superstitions about sneezing are just that, I still feel like someone is talking about him, and it's a little annoying.

He shook his head and continued lying on his bed, mentally observing his system interface.

Today, while training Keiko, Emi, and the other members, I gained a little over 100 experience points. Adding that to the 20 points of the [Night Messenger] daily experience from yesterday to today, the experience gain was noticeably small.

This made him realize that he had been a bit too lazy lately.

Laziness is bad.

There is no future in being like the lazy young lady of the Fujiwara family.

If he cannot become stronger faster, he cannot change his position as the younger brother in his family, and he will not be able to speak with confidence in front of his older sister, Hishizuki, and Mitsuko.

If I can't become stronger, I won't be able to withstand the pressure of Ryoko's questioning, drug her, and turn her into a little girl.

If you can't become stronger, you won't be able to properly protect everything you have and use your own power to prevent the priestess from spying on you.

So we still need to become stronger and can't be lazy anymore.

After thinking it over, Morikawa Yu jumped out of bed.

He decided to find something to do.

Chapter 325 Fencing with the Big Cat!

"Asaka! Asaka!" Morikawa Yu jumped off the bed and ran towards the living room, calling Asaka's name as she ran.

After school today, Mitsuko and Asaka played in the living room, so he rested in his room for a while and slept on the big bed.

Now he's going to do something interesting.

"Asaka, fencing!"

Asaka nestled on the sofa, watching him come out.

When she heard Morikawa Yu call her name just now, her expression showed a mixture of confusion and anticipation.

Upon hearing the word "fencing," her face immediately fell.

"Fencing? You want me to spar with you again?"

Morikawa Yu nodded: "No, just fencing!"

"I crave worthy opponents, sharp swords, and keen eyes! Let's fencing together!"

What kind of nonsense are you spouting?

Asaka's face fell.

"If you want me to spar, then spar with me. Why do you have to say such strange things?"

She leaned against the back of the sofa, looking at Morikawa Yu: "Also, didn't you just recruit those three demon kings as shikigami? Why don't you let them fencing with you?"

Morikawa Yu shook his head after hearing this.

not.

Of the three demon kings, Ibuki is injured and confined to a wheelchair, making it difficult for him to move around.

Hoshiguma is an adorable white-haired little girl, but she sleeps all day, so it's best not to disturb her.

Ibaraki is the most convenient, but Ibaraki is a cute boy. If you look for Ibaraki, it will really become fencing.

After much deliberation, he concluded that Asaka was the most suitable opponent for him.

Asaka also thought of this, and slightly raised her chin: "Human, you want me to practice with you, of course I can, but I'm a little thirsty and would like to eat some fruit."

She pointed to the table next to the sofa.

On the table was a fruit platter prepared by Mrs. Hemei, with grapes, strawberries, apple slices, dragon fruit, mango, and all kinds of early spring fruits, along with a number of snacks.

Although Japanese fruit is expensive, the family's financial situation is quite good, and Mrs. Kazumi is also wealthy, so they have never lacked food.

Morikawa Yu casually picked up an orange and tossed it to Asaka.

Asaka's tail wrapped around the orange.

She glanced at the unpeeled orange, pouted, and said with a dissatisfied look, "There's no sincerity at all."

"I want you to feed me by hand, human."

She threw the orange back, sat barefoot on the sofa with her legs crossed, looked at him, and opened her mouth.

Morikawa Yu frowned.

It's such a hassle, I have to feed her too.

Forget it, we can't spoil cats. I'll practice for a while and then go find Ibaraki.

He turned and walked outside.

Asaka bristled: "Where are you going?!"

Her tail instantly extended and wrapped around Morikawa Yu's legs.

Morikawa Yu turned his head and saw Asaka's body floating in mid-air, drifting towards him.

She floated along, peeling an orange as she went, her other tails wrapping around Morikawa Yu's arm. Finally, she stopped in front of him, placed the orange in his hand, and held his large hand with her two small hands, making him open his palm and offer the orange to her mouth, where she took a bite.

"Okay, that's fine, then you've fed me."

She swallowed the orange, looked at Morikawa Yu, and then turned her head away.

"I can help you, let's go together."

Morikawa Yu, who had initially found it troublesome, couldn't help but chuckle at this moment.

Isn't that too awkward?

Asaka, who spoiled you with this arrogant and tsundere personality?

He looked at Mitsuko sitting on the sofa.

Mitsuko was on the phone with Kaoru Kashima, listening to her daily reports about Kyoto and the Kansai region.

His hearing is very good, and he can hear a lot of the reports.

Mitsuko noticed his gaze, looked at him, and then glanced at Asaka in front of him, telling Kashima Kaoru to temporarily stop reporting.

She smiled gently: "Morikawa, would you like me to practice with you?"
