Last night, he regained his composure and prepared to continue his training in the Dragon World, but Fei Yue wouldn't let him leave and spent the whole night tenderly entwined with him.

This time, he didn't feel completely drained. Instead, he felt energetic and radiant, like a tiger that had just eaten its fill and was now looking down proudly.

Feiyue, on the other hand, seems to have weakened considerably. She's still lying in bed, lazily reading a book, and doesn't plan to get out of bed for the rest of the day.

"Darling, it seems you've absorbed quite a bit of spiritual energy again~"

Mitsuko sat on the edge of the courtyard, holding Asaka, and looked at him with a smile: "Did you have a lot of fun with Hisui last night?"

Morikawa Yu continued swinging his sword, pretending not to hear the deadly question she had asked.

Mitsuko was not annoyed.

Seeing that Morikawa Yu had almost finished practicing, she patted Asaka's shoulder and told Asaka to get up and get her a towel.

“Darling~” She took the towel and walked to Morikawa Yu’s side.

"Here, let me wipe your sweat."

Morikawa sheathed his sword and put Tsurumaru into his goshuincho.

She placed a towel on his head, gently wiping his cheeks and temples with it, and then used her magic to cleanse his skin.

Finally, she sniffed his body to make sure there wasn't a trace of sweat or grime, then smiled, wrapped her arms around his waist, and buried her face in his chest.

Morikawa Yuya buried his face in her hair, rubbing against it and enjoying the soft, smooth feel of her long hair.

In fact, Morikawa Yu didn't sweat much.

However, Mitsuko didn't really want to wipe his sweat; she just wanted to spend some time with him.

Once the two let go.

Kannazuki Chiko came out of the living room and entrance hall, glanced at the two of them and Asaka, and sat down on the side of the wall, stretched, and leaned against the pillar on the side of the wall.

Her eyes were dark, clearly she hadn't slept well. She yawned and leaned against the pillar to fall asleep.

"ha.....!"

On the third-floor balcony, Otamaru kept looking down. At this moment, she jumped down from the third floor, landed lightly, and straightened her skirt as she did so.

She looked at Morikawa Yu and said in an extremely exaggerated tone, "Wow, even after becoming the God Lord, you still practice so diligently. I really admire you, Lord Morikawa~"

Morikawa Yu glanced at her.

"What? Just because I'm the God Lord doesn't mean I can't practice swordsmanship?"

"You also know kendo, don't you?"

“I didn’t say that.” Ootamaru shrugged. “I was just surprised that you were practicing so diligently.”

"For me personally, I practice about once a month."

"Practice once a month?" Morikawa Yu raised an eyebrow.

Damn it, even a lazy dog ​​can't be this lazy!

"But don't let my appearance fool you, I am the founder of the Ise-Tachi-ryu school." Otamaru chuckled. "Now, swordsmen who practice the Ise-Tachi-ryu should all call me their patriarch."

Morikawa Yu frowned.

In terms of swordsmanship alone, Ootamaru is indeed at the level of a great swordsman.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to fight him on equal terms when her power was depleted and weakened.

However, she is a demon, not a human.

The great swordsman's skill level comes more from the enhancement of her demonic power.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Ise Tachi-ryu? Do you know Kamiizumi Ise-kami?"

He had never heard of the Ise Tachi-ryu style in his previous life.

But he had heard of the Shinkage-ryu school and Kamiizumi Ise no Kami.

Kamiizumi Ise no Kami's original name was Musashi Gengoro. Later, he was known as Kamiizumi Ise no Kami Nobutsuna because he had served as the governor of Ise. He was the "Sword Saint" of the Shinkage-ryu school and was known as "the greatest swordsman in the land".

Of course, the titles "Sword Saint" and "Number One Under Heaven" are somewhat exaggerated. They were given to the other party by his disciple, the swordsman Ashikaga Yoshiteru, who served as the shogun.

Just two weeks ago, he had met the other party's descendants at the Kui Xingqi competition.

"Kamizumi Ise no Kami?" Otamaru was taken aback.

“Yes, his full name is Kamiizumi Ise no Kami Nobutsuna,” Morikawa Yu added.

"Let me think about it..." Daitamaru pondered.

"Oh, there seems to be such a guy."

She came to her senses and said, "At that time, my family's seventh head priest was in charge of the Ise Grand Shrine. The shrine received a report from the shrines below about the present world, mentioning that this guy was serving as the guardian of Ise."

"Although the shrine does not interfere in the mortal world, there are still records of this."

"However, I've only met this guy twice. Once was when I was hunting in Ise, and I saw him teaching his disciples. The other time was when I went to Kyoto, and I happened to run into him fighting a great demon, a demon clan member, and I watched his battle."

"So, who do you think is stronger, me or him?" Morikawa Yu raised an eyebrow.

Both of them practiced swordsmanship, and upon hearing about the deeds of this ancient "sword saint," he couldn't help but wonder about the difference between himself and the other person.

"You."

Daiyu Maru answered without hesitation.

But for some reason, when she spoke, she looked at Morikawa Yu with a hint of disdain.

Morikawa Yu was stunned for a moment.

He immediately realized why Daitamaru was looking at him with disdain, and sighed, "I was referring to my swordsmanship skills, not my status as a god."

"Oh." Only then did Otamaru begin to think seriously.

After a long silence, she shook her head: "It's hard to say. This guy is known as the 'Sword Saint,' but his skill level is about the same as yours. If you improve after Kui Xingqi, you might be able to suppress him a bit."

"However, he is very good at teaching apprentices; you probably can't compare to him."

Upon hearing what Daitamaru said, Morikawa Yu immediately thought of his mentor and apprentice, Takeda Keiko.

He then thought about the swordsmen disciples of Kamiizumi Nobutsuna.

Okay, we can't beat them.

He took out his phone and wrote down "Teach Huizi the Wind-Riding Sword Technique" in the phone's notepad, and set an alarm for 4 pm every day.

"By the way, shouldn't you be going home now?" He put away his phone and looked at Daimamaru.

Last night, Otamaru didn't want to go back to Ise, so he let her stay overnight.

It's already the next morning, shouldn't she be going back by now?

"Ah, we're going back to Ise." Ootamaru's face immediately fell.

"I don't want to go back."

"Why?" Morikawa Yu frowned.

"Because there are a lot of things to do after we go back."

Ootama sighed: "Half a month ago, you won the Kui Xing Flag Championship. I severed my divinity. When I returned to Ise, the Goddess arranged a lot of things for me to do, saying that she would help me recover my power as soon as possible."

"These things are simple, the priestesses can do them, but they're very annoying..."

“You already complained about these things last night,” Morikawa Yu interrupted Daimamaru.

"..."

Ootamaru hesitated for a moment: "So you want to kick me out?"

Morikawa Yu didn't say anything.

Daiyu's expression changed.

She pondered for a moment, then suddenly leaned closer to Morikawa Yu and blinked: "How about this?"

“Just tell my ancestral spirit that you have taken a liking to me and want me to be your royal consort.”

“My ancestral spirit knows that you and I have a good relationship, so he will be suspicious and send a priestess to inquire.”

"I'll stay at your house for a while and practice kendo with you."

"Let's stall for as long as we can."

"A royal warrant?" Mitsuko, who was sitting on the side of Ebisu with her head on Kannazuki's lap, sat up at this moment: "Are you treating your darling like the 'Shogun'?"

Chapter 406 Beast

Daitamaru shrugged: "No, I was just using a metaphor."

"To be honest, he is now a god, a hidden protector and arbitrator, whose position in ancient times was much higher than that of a general."

Mizuko then nodded.

When she was sealed away, Inari used an incarnation she created to impersonate her.

But lacking her power, He resorted to scheming, establishing the Three Houses to disrupt the current world.

It was precisely for this reason that the samurai families, led by the Genpei and Taira families, gradually took over the power from the court nobles, led by the Fujiwara clan, thus initiating the rule of the samurai and the emergence of the shogunate era where the power of the shogun surpassed that of the emperor.

Even so, the general is only a general in the real world. In secret, he is still considered her subject, and his status cannot be compared with that of the God.

So when Ootamaru compared Morikawa Hare to a shogun, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Now that Daimamaru had explained it clearly, she stopped asking questions.

Morikawa Yu remained silent.

At this point, he naturally sided with Mitsuko.

"So, can you promise me?" Otamaru looked intently at him and Mitsuko.

Mitsuko: "I don't care."

Although she didn't like Ootamaru, she didn't mind being more patient with him because Ootamaru was Morikawa Yu's friend.

Morikawa Yu glanced at Mitsuko, then looked at Otamaru and nodded.

"Okay, you can stay at our house for now."

"However, I will have you practice kendo, so you probably won't be able to slack off."

"Also, I might not be home during the day."

"If you need anything, just ask my dear big fox, or Feiyue can contact me."

Daitamaru breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Okay."

At that moment, Ms. Maki and Ms. Emi came out from the entrance hall.

The two arrived at the courtyard.

Morikawa Yu turned her head to look at Maki-sensei and Emi, and suddenly thought of something.

Currently, Maki-sensei and Emi are undergoing purification of their original demonic power by Hiigetsu, and are gradually becoming half-demons by practicing swordsmanship to familiarize themselves with the demonic power.

Since I often go out, could I ask Daitamamaru to accompany Maki-sensei and Emi for practice?

She is, after all, the founder of the Ise Tachi-ryu school, so teaching Maki-sensei and the others is definitely not a problem for her.

He immediately looked at Daitamaru.

Ootamaru also saw Maki-sensei and Emi coming out and waved to them.

Especially the illustrations.

At the wedding, when Otamaru first saw her, his gaze towards Morikawa Yu became very strange, as if questioning him, "She's also your bride? You beast, she's not even an adult yet, how could you do that?"

Now that she sees that Emi hasn't been eaten by Morikawa Yu yet, her opinion of Morikawa Yu has improved considerably.

She greeted them: "Good morning, Ms. Maki, Ms. Emi."

"Good morning."

Ms. Maki and Ms. Emi also greeted Ootamaru.

Morikawa Yu patted Daimamaru on the shoulder.

"Ootamaru, I don't need your help with sparring for now. You can practice with my teacher Maki and Emi first, and help them get used to the demon power in their bodies."
