I'm having fun in Tokyo

Otherwise, Fei Yue wouldn't have known where the other party was living in seclusion, especially since the other party had so many "enemies," she would definitely have tried her best to hide her whereabouts and wouldn't have revealed her location.

“However, none of these are the reasons for her seclusion.” Fei Yue suddenly changed her tone and sighed, “She went into seclusion because she had confronted the priestess and was looking for an opportunity to take revenge on her.”

"Miko?"

Morikawa Yu paused for a moment, feeling that the title sounded somewhat familiar.

He thought for a moment before remembering that Ryoko had told him the other person's name when they were in Kyoto.

The other party is the head priest of Izumo Taisha Shrine, one of the four strongest head priests besides Ryoko, Ooko, and Hime-no-Miko, and also the most mysterious one, with very little information about him.

"Does she have a grudge against the witch?"

“Yes, there is a grudge,” Mitsuko chimed in. “But to be more precise, it’s a grudge against the first priestess from over a thousand years ago.”

"At that time, she killed several gods in the Izumo region. Before she could extract their divine power and authority, these gods purified their power and passed it on to a shrine maiden of the Izumo Taisha Shrine."

"That priestess thus gained power, became a god, and called herself the God Priestess."

"Chiko believed that the priestesses were the reincarnations of those gods, and since the first priestess also claimed to be a god, a conflict arose, and many battles were fought, but neither side could defeat the other."

"Later, the priestess herself eliminated all the gods in the Izumo region, gained a lot of divine power and authority, and became even more powerful. Kijiko could no longer defeat her, so she had to flee Izumo and go to Kyushu Island, which is not far from Izumo."

"But the princess was not willing to accept defeat and was determined to defeat the first priestess."

"And to remember the humiliation, she added the surname Kannazuki to her name and changed her name to Kannazuki Chiko."

Morikawa Yu nodded to the side.

In Japan, "Kannazuki" is another name for October, meaning "the month when the gods are not present." This is because legend has it that the gods would travel to the Izumo region during October, so October in the Izumo region is also called "the month when the gods are present."

This guy named Pheasant actually changed his name because of this kind of thing, which is quite unique.

"And then?" he asked. "Did the priestess chase after her to Kyushu?"

"No."

Mitsuko shook her head.

"Because the first priestess died later."

"Dead?" Morikawa Yu's eyes widened.

Just by looking at his expression, Mitsuko knew what he was thinking and shook her head at him.

"It wasn't that the pheasant killed the priestess in revenge, but rather that the priestess's lifespan had come to an end, and she simply vanished."

"At that time, Chiko was plotting revenge. It took her more than seventy years to be confident, so she went to Izumo to find the shrine maiden. However, when she arrived at Izumo Taisha, she found that the first shrine maiden had already passed away."

More than seventy years?

They've been planning this for over seventy years?

Morikawa Yu's eyes widened again.

Grass.

Does this guy genuinely not know how short human life is, or is he deliberately trying to prolong it so long to kill the priestess?

The evil immortal species.

Mitsuko noticed his confusion: "Because the gods had only recently fallen and the new god had taken their place, we didn't know anything about the god's status and lifespan, and the same goes for Chiko."

"She thought that the priestess had gained such great power that she must have become a superior immortal being, but that's not the case."

"So she was also bewildered when she learned of the death of the first priestess."

"But the first priestess left a surprise for Kijiko: before she passed away, she chose a priestess to pass on her power, who became the second priestess."

"This second-generation priestess already possessed some power. After inheriting the position, she became even stronger than the first generation. Therefore, Kijiko was still no match for her and suffered a crushing defeat, almost failing to escape back to Kyushu Island."

Morikawa Yu nodded again: "And then she's been living in seclusion on Kyushu Island ever since?"

“No.” Feiyue shook her head: “Given Zhi’s personality, it’s impossible for her to live in seclusion in one place forever.”

"After returning to Kyushu, she plotted her second revenge. After preparing for more than 60 years, she went to Izumo again and fought against the third generation of the priestess."

Third generation?

Morikawaha was speechless.

If the first time was due to ignorance and the first priestess was outlived, then the second time was definitely intentional!

It's definitely intentional!

"You can probably guess the final result, my husband. She lost again." Fei Yue sighed slightly, looking helpless and disgusted. "Otherwise, she wouldn't have stayed in Kyushu Island all this time."

"From then on, basically every seventy or eighty years, she would go to Izumo to try to defeat the current generation's priestess. If she lost, she would go to Kyushu Island to recuperate."

So every priestess has fought against her?

This is ridiculous!

Morikawa Yu couldn't help but shake his head.

Just listening to these old stories conjured up an image in his mind of a pair of quirky, silly monster girls and a cold, aloof priestess who inherited the mission of defeating this ancient demon, their love-hate relationship unfolding together.

If he weren't completely unaware of the actual relationship between this Kannazuki Chiko and the past priestesses, he would have been tempted to ship them as a couple.

These two can't really be mortal enemies, right?

Otherwise, over the course of more than a thousand years and through more than a dozen encounters, it would have been impossible for every generation of priestesses to show mercy to the defeated and fleeing Kannazuki.

So it's highly likely that they've loosened their grip on the issue.

"Husband!" Suddenly, Fei Yue grabbed Morikawa Yu's hand.

"That Pheasant should still be recuperating in seclusion on Kyushu Island."

“After she was defeated by this generation of priestess, I haven’t heard any news about her leaving Kyushu Island since she went back, so she definitely didn’t run away.”

"Plus, her injury presents a perfect opportunity for us."

"Let's go find Ryoko now."

"I, this stinky fox, along with Ryoko, can definitely capture her, extract and purify her divine demonic power, and transplant it into your body, my husband, turning you into an immortal being."

Mitsuko nodded as well: "I think that's fine too."

Hiiyue glanced at Mitsuko, then looked back at Morikawa Yu, and pulled him toward the torii gate on the approach.

"Wait a minute." Morikawa Yu called out to Hishitsuki, finally managing to stop.

"What's wrong, my husband?" Feiyue looked at him. "Why are we waiting? Are you afraid Liangzi won't agree?"

"The two of us, that stinky fox, can guarantee we'll catch the pheasant. We're just bringing Ryoko along as an extra layer of insurance; Ryoko shouldn't refuse us..."

Chapter 370 Skin System Update

“No, that’s not what I’m worried about.” Morikawa Yu shook her head, interrupting Himezuki.

"I just think, is it really a bad idea to go after Kannazuki Kijiko over something like this?"

"Moreover, as a demon from the Age of Gods, she shouldn't be so easy to deal with."

"What's wrong with it?" Fei Yue frowned.

"Back then, this girl stole two powers from my Yumu Tuo Liu Ming and Aya He Zhi Gu Ni Ming, and she laughed at me for being ugly and not liking to take human form, saying that no one would like me... cough, anyway, I don't like her."

"She was rude to the stinky fox and had a really irritating personality. None of us liked her."

“Even if we arrest her, no one else will stand up for her.”

Morikawa Yu shook her head: "That's not important. Even if no one stands up for her, we don't need to take this risk."

"If you, Big Fox, and Ryoko get hurt, it will really be a loss for them."

Actually, this is not the only reason.

Another very important reason is that he himself has a way to become an immortal being.

By completing skin missions and obtaining skins, and by undergoing the Ascension Trial to upgrade himself, he can become a transcendent being like Scarlet Moon and the others, gaining immense power and a long life.

This method is much simpler than Fei Yue and the Great Fox risking their lives to attack their old friend, extract and purify his demonic power, and help him achieve his ascension.

Moreover, it avoids causing Fei Yue and the other party to turn against each other.

Otherwise, when the incident actually happens, Fei Yue will definitely regret harming her old friend.

"That same excuse again." Fei Yue frowned.

"Husband, it was you at home who suggested trying a different approach, which is why I made this decision. But now you're saying you're worried about me and that stinky fox, and you're rejecting this method..."

"I'm going to be unhappy."

Morikawa Yu sighed, feeling helpless.

Are you upset? How can you say something like that? Are you a child from somewhere?

He gripped Feiyue's hand tightly, glanced at Yujinzi again, and said earnestly, "I have a way, I really have a way."

"I can't say right now. I'll tell you after the wedding, okay?"

Feiyue frowned slightly: "Husband, you're not still trying to stall for time, are you?"

Morikawa Yu shook her head: "Do I need to drag this out for a few more days?"

"The wedding is only four days away. Ryoko doesn't care whether I become the God-King as an immortal being or not. She's given us plenty of time, so just be patient..."

Mitsuko gently hugged Morikawa Yu's arm and looked at Hishitsuki: "Hitsuki, trust me, darling."

"It's only been four days, it'll be over in the blink of an eye."

Feiyue hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Four days is indeed a blink of an eye, and she hasn't even finished purifying her demonic power yet. Even if she wanted to force herself on him, it would only harm him.

"That's settled then, let's not look for Ryoko anymore."

She looked at Mitsuko defiantly, her wolf ears on her head taut: "I trust my husband more than you do."

Mitsuko stopped arguing at this point and simply smiled.

Morikawa Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, Fei Yue finally convinced herself.

My immediate priority is just one skin task that I haven't finished yet—[True Damage].

After returning from Kyoto, I got stuck on the last task for this skin. I needed to complete a grand performance to finish it and officially get the skin and the final reward.

As for that demigod named Kannazuki, it's not too late to help Hiizuki "take revenge" and reclaim her two powers after she completes her ascension mission and becomes a super-elderly immortal being at the same level as Hiizuki and the others.

He let out a long breath, gripped Hiizuki's hand tightly, and pulled Mitsuko along as they walked the last path of the approach to the parking lot, preparing to go home.

......

Time passed little by little.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Morikawa Yu stood in the shrine's worship plaza, watching the shrine maidens and wedding company staff tidy up the venue for tomorrow's wedding.

After discussing the succession to the position of Shinto priest with Ryoko a few days ago, he returned home to await the wedding and to settle unfinished matters.

So he took advantage of these few days to complete the last mission of [True Damage].

This task required him to put on a grand performance.

He thought about it for a long time and felt that this performance should refer to a performance in the true sense, not just having him find a great monster with a rich past and give him a "farewell" performance of his monster life.

Just then, a pop musician was holding a concert at the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo, Japan. He shamelessly approached the production company behind the musician and the bigwig behind the company, using his privilege as the successor of a deity to squeeze himself into the musician's team as a temporary member for two days.

The bigwig was baffled by Morikawa Yu's request, but felt honored by this "favor" and even suspected that Morikawa Yu wanted to seduce the music idol. He gave instructions to the production company, implying that the music idol should "voluntarily offer himself" to Morikawa Yu.

Fortunately, Morikawa Yu noticed something was wrong and cleared up the misunderstanding.

The idol, who had been living in fear, also "repaid" him by making him his assistant guitarist and taking him along on the show.

However, this performance also made him realize one thing: he really wasn't good at singing.

Although he is much more talented than the average person, he is far inferior to a great singer who can hold concerts at the Budokan. He is only good at playing the guitar.

His guitar skills reached the top level of lv5 (master) after completing the third task, so he didn't falter.

The musician also mistook him for a young man who yearned for music but whose singing voice was not good, and whose family was rich and powerful, so he encouraged him.
