I'm having fun in Tokyo

However, she also knew that a certain great monster who had never been in a relationship was hiding not far away.

To avoid any misunderstanding, she didn't continue the conversation.

"Can I ask a few questions?"

Seeing that she was not speaking, Morikawa Yu glanced at the room where Senri Miyako and the others were.

"Excuse me"

Kondo Ryoko nodded.

Are there many yokai like Chi-chan and her mother?

"Not many, most monsters live alone."

"Yokai like Kazumi who marry humans, or yokai who are with human women, are very few and far between."

"Things are different now than before. It's rare for monsters to appear before humans, and they also find it difficult to accept humans."

Kondo Ryoko patiently explained to him.

But this is only part of the reason, because most humans also cannot accept love with monsters.

This is also why she was surprised when she heard from the great god Feiyue that Morikawa Yu liked monster girls.

"I understand, Aunt Ryoko."

"How many monsters are there that the government can't deal with?"

"not much"

Kondo Ryoko shook her head.

"But as long as such a powerful monster exists, it will be difficult for the government to take significant action against it, and it will also not allow anyone to harm weaker monsters."

"Otherwise, the government will be under pressure from the great monsters."

"Of course, they will negotiate with me first before putting pressure on the government, and only if that fails will they retaliate."

"After all, monsters have been out of the public eye for a long time, and making a big fuss would not be good for either side."

"I understand, Aunt Liangzi."

Morikawa Yu nodded.

The government and the great monsters are like a stick trying to fight a wolf; both sides are afraid.

"By the way, Aunt Liangzi, what level do you think my strength is at?"

"Or, in other words, if a battle breaks out, what level of enemy can I handle?"

Chapter 41 Good morning

"It's hard to say"

"From a human perspective, you've probably already reached the pinnacle."

"But it's much harder to judge when it comes to monsters."

"Your swordsmanship is different from that of the great swordsmen of history; it has transcended the realm of humanity."

"Besides mastering the art of swordsmanship, you can also manipulate the power of the wind."

"If you can unleash their power, even the most powerful demons will be no match for you."

"As for more powerful demons, you might still be a bit lacking."

"What about the great goddess Fei Yue?"

Morikawa Yu immediately thought of her sister's friend.

She was the only great monster he had ever seen.

"She belongs to the latter category. If it weren't for the decline of mysticism and other factors, she might have become a deity wielding the power of abundance."

Morikawa Yu nodded, but felt something was off.

Generally speaking, foxes are associated with abundant harvests in Japanese mythology, and they are also seen as messengers of Inari, the god of rice.

But doesn't the great goddess Feiyue look like a wolf?

Judging from her surname, it should be correct.

Japanese has many homophones; for example, "大神" (Okami) sounds the same as "狼" (wolf).

"What about Inari, the god of inari? A wolf and a fox are different, right?"

He couldn't help but ask.

"Inari is Inari, and the god of abundance is the god of abundance; they don't conflict."

Kondo Ryoko gave him a strange look.

But Morikawa Yu was still confused, so she continued to explain to him.

"Feiyue is a great demon with the body of a wolf. Wolves have always been the incarnation of mountain gods and agricultural gods."

"The goddess Miwa, who was in charge of harvests, warding off plagues, and brewing wine, had already vanished before the end of the Age of Gods. She could have taken that position, but human beliefs were too mixed, and she didn't want to accept it, so she gave it up."

Morikawa Yu did not speak.

The Japanese pantheon is quite complex, and he hasn't learned about it. Saying too much would only expose his own ignorance.

But then he remembered.

In Spice and Wolf, his wife Holo is both a giant wolf and a goddess of fertility, so it's probably true what Kondo Yoshiko said.

However, none of that matters; what matters is the information conveyed in Kondo Ryoko's words.

He roughly understood his own level of strength.

Among humans, there are probably no ones who can defeat him, and he can also deal with ordinary great demons.

However, he was no match for the great yokai who had the opportunity to become gods before the end of the Age of Gods.

The Great Goddess Fei Yue was a powerful demon, and it was lucky for her sister to meet her.

However, he immediately realized a problem.

If the great goddess Hisuki is willing to befriend Kondo Ryoko on equal footing, then what level is she at?

"And what about you, Aunt Liangzi?"

Morikawa Yu asked.

Although it's a bit impolite to ask directly like this, it's only natural to find out since he's become the heir to the position of God.

"I'm just an ordinary priestess."

Kondo Ryoko shook her head, looking at him with a hint of a smile in her eyes.

"Don't overestimate my abilities. Although I know some powerful demons and have connections within the government, that's all."

Morikawa Yu didn't say anything.

He felt that Kondo Ryoko was just being modest.

How could someone who can act as an arbitrator between humans and yokai be just an ordinary shrine maiden?

Putting aside everything else, the powerful phantoms within her imperial seal tent alone constitute a truly terrifying force.

But since she's unwilling to talk about it, then forget it.

In any case, she's just a lifesaver for him right now; he can rely on her for the time being.

"Any other questions, Morikawa-san?"

Kondo Ryoko then asked him another question.

Morikawa Yu shook her head.

He felt he had asked all his questions.

"Alright, let's go back first."

Kondo Ryoko walked toward the room where Chisato Miyako and the others were.

Morikawa Yu followed...

......

The next morning, Morikawa Ha's home.

Yesterday, he returned home shortly after talking with Ryoko Kondo.

To his surprise, Kondo Ryoko had Hojo Maki bring Chisato Miyabi and her mother to his home.

Thanks to Ryoko Kondo's treatment, Kazumi Hanyu has woken up.

She was extremely grateful after learning that she had been saved by Morikawa Yu, but the death of her husband and the identity of the murderer also dealt her a heavy blow.

For the sake of her daughter, she tried her best to suppress her grief and prepare to handle her husband's funeral arrangements and the family property that had been temporarily taken over by Furuno Tsugawa.

Eisuke Senri owns a large materials manufacturing company.

She wanted to give a portion of her shares to Morikawa Yu in exchange for his protection for the foreseeable future, because the people behind Furuno Tsugawa had not yet been dealt with.

Morikawa Yu hadn't originally planned to accept it, because he didn't want to be seen as a scoundrel who coveted the property of an orphaned woman and widow, but Kondo Yoshiko made him accept it.

Because of these shares, Morikawa Yu found herself becoming a rich man.

Even if he finishes his studies now and does nothing, he doesn't need to worry about making a living in his next life.

But he was a little reluctant to give up his fulfilling life in high school, so he decided to continue his studies.

Senri Miyabi and her mother, Yuzuru Kazumi, will be living in his house for a long time to come.

Originally, Chisato Miyabi and Yuusuke Kazumi hoped that he could live in her family's villa, but that would be too far from the school and inconvenient for him to go to school.

Although teleporting back to town could solve this problem, it was difficult to explain, so he abandoned this method.

When he got home yesterday, Morikawa Kiyoshi, unusually, didn't ask him to play games, and Morikawa Yu got up very early.

He was about to cook himself a meal when he heard a knock at the door.

He walked through the entrance hall, opened the door, and found a wolf's head that was bigger than a truck standing in front of him.

It stared at Morikawa Yu, and gradually shrank in a burst of light, its figure becoming slender, turning into a white-haired, red-eyed girl who waved to him.

"Oh ha yo~"

"Miss Feiyue?"

Morikawa Yu was startled and took a step back.

When he asked Kondo Ryoko about her yesterday, he was wondering where she had gone. He never expected to run into her as soon as he opened the door today.

“Yes, it’s me.”

The great goddess Feiyue looked at his chest.

I've come to find your sister.

"By the way, I'll be staying at your place for a while."

"why?"

Morikawa Yu was stunned.

Because I'm worried about her.

"Didn't you accept Ryoko's request to become her assistant from now on?"

"According to the shrine's tradition, you will be the next head priest."

"Many great demons will surely come to see you in the future."

"Your sister is a rare species among ghosts; some of them might be curious."

"I'm worried they'll frighten your sister, so I wanted to help you deal with them."
