I'm having fun in Tokyo

However, she has recently approached the level of Otamaru and is no longer getting beaten up.

He turned to look at Ōtamaru: "When are you going back to Ise Grand Shrine?"

“Your priestess has called me three times in the past two weeks, saying that if you don’t come back, she will pretend you don’t exist as a shikigami and remove you from the Ise Grand Shrine.”

"Huh? Did the Goddess say that?" Otamaru was surprised.

Morikawaha nodded.

Daigoro immediately became conflicted.

Morikawa Yu ignored her and left the living room, exiting through the entrance hall and heading towards the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Nishino sat under a cherry tree near the south wall, talking to Kuno, who had just come out of the Goshuincho space.

Beside the two, there were cats of various colors, some crouching and some lying down, each with two tails.

Morikawaha approached Nishino.

Nishino noticed him and immediately stood up: "Your Highness."

Morikawa Yu frowned and pinched the kitten girl's cheek: "How many times have I told you, don't call me Your Highness."

After marriage, Hisui called him husband, Mitsuko called him darling, Maki-sensei called him husband, Emi called him husband when her mood fluctuated, and called him president, idiot president or president pervert.

Only the cat girl insisted on calling him Your Highness after he became the acting god.

Nishino shook his head: "But, I..."

"Alright, there's no 'buts'." Morikawa Yu shook her head.

"By the way, next time I take Xinjue out, you should come too."

The kitten girl's eyes lit up, and she nodded emphatically: "Yes!"

Morikawa Yu gently patted her head.

After Nishino becomes a great yokai, his strength is considerable, and even if you take him along, he won't be a burden.

As for the mind's perception...

Although he wanted to raise Xinjue into a little loli, Xinjue was not ambitious at all and was currently playing games with Daiyumaru in the living room.

Good food and fun-loving.

Asaka stepped out of the entrance hall: "Tch."

She glanced at Nishino with a displeased expression, then walked over to Kuno, who was standing next to Morikawa Yu and Nishino: "Kuno, are you going back today or tomorrow?"

Kuno: "It's okay, Lord Asaka."

Asaka looked at Morikawa Yu: "Human, Kuno and the others have worked so hard for you for so many days. Give them a break and let them rest."

Morikawa Yu nodded.

After repairing EVA, the work of these household gods was finished.

They've been busy for half a month; it's time for them to take a break.

"Should I call Xia Zi and ask her to arrange for them to have a tour of Tokyo?"

"No need for that," Asaka waved her hand.

"They have their own things they like to do."

"Hmm." Morikawa Yu nodded, then suddenly frowned.

Asaka: "What's wrong, human?"

"It's nothing," Morikawa Yu waved his hand.

"I go out for a while."

He turned and walked out of the courtyard, passing through the manor's protective barrier and exiting through the manor gate.

A small figure stood outside; it was Ryoko.

Morikawa Yu: "Ryoko, what brings you here?"

He had just heard Liangzi's voice transmission, and only went out after she said she had arrived.

Ryoko's expression was serious: "I have some things I want to say to you and Hiizuki, but I don't know what you've been busy with these past few days. I felt it was inconvenient for you to go to the shrine, so I came to find you."

She looked at the Japanese-style villa in the estate.

"Is the shikigami of the Priestess still with you?"

Morikawa Yu nodded: "Yes."

Ryoko: "Then let's go to your study to talk, in a private area, and make sure she doesn't see me."

Morikawa Yu nodded.

Although no one knows what Ryoko is trying to say in such a mysterious way.

But it must be no small matter.

He opened the Goshuin-cho space and let Ryoko hide inside first. Then he went into the manor, told Asaka and Nishino, and then found Hisui and Mitsuko who were reading with their sister. He went up to the large study on the third floor.

The four sat in the large study, and Fei Yue released her cultivation realm.

Morikawa Yu: "Ryoko, what exactly happened?"

Ryoko: "It's about Izumo."

She stretched out her hand, releasing golden divine power, then hesitated for a moment: "Morikawa, Hisui, Mitsuko, don't be surprised by what I'm about to say."

Morikawa Yu nodded.

Hiizuki: "Speak quickly, Ryoko."

Mitsuko nodded as well.

Liangzi: "Okay, take a look at these photos first."

The golden divine power in her hand unfolded, releasing the divine power of her Imperial Vermilion Seal, from which more than a dozen photographs floated out.

Morikawa Yu reached out and took a photo, looking at it and couldn't help but frown.

The photo shows a shrine, but it's unclear where it is. It's empty, with only a blurry, strangely shaped shadow floating in the air.

After he finished reading, he looked at Feiyue.

Feiyue was also holding a photo in her hand.

It looks like a mountain from above, but the mountainside is completely covered in white.

Mitsuko also looked at a photo and frowned: "Masako... I knew that things in Izumo weren't that simple."

“If something happens to the priestess, Masako can’t possibly not have reacted.”

Morikawa Yu looked at her.

He remembered hearing Hiizuki and Mitsuko mention this name before; the person seemed to be a yokai from the Izumo region, and also the leader of the local yokai.

Mizuko reached out and handed the photo to him.

“Honey, look at this.”

Morikawa Yu nodded, looking at the photo with her eyes widening slightly.

The photo shows a city that doesn't look very developed. Unlike Tokyo, which is full of skyscrapers, you can only vaguely make out that most of the buildings are retro traditional structures.

The reason it is described as "vaguely visible" is because a huge spider web covers the sky above the city.

This spiderweb stretches from the mountains on the edge of the city all the way to the very end, covering almost all the buildings in the city and obscuring the mountains near the city as well.

"What is this...?" he exclaimed in astonishment.

“These are photos of the Izumo region.” Ryoko handed the remaining photos to Morikawa Yu as well.

"Morikawa, the photo you just saw was of a shrine located below Izumo Taisha. The photo Mitsuko showed you is of Izumo City recently."

"These spider webs must be the power of the goddess Masako from the land of Izumo, but I don't know why she would do this."

As Ryoko spoke, she looked at Mitsuko.

"Moreover, Izumo Taisha was also shrouded in spider webs."

"Logically speaking, with such a big commotion and such almost provocative behavior, Izumo Taisha should have reacted, but there has been no news from the shrine maiden."

Mitsuko shook her head: "You don't need to look at me."

"Although Kansai is close to Izumo, I have been sealed away for so long that I have not been able to communicate with Masako, nor have I seen many of the priestesses from different generations."

"All I know is that Masako's relationship with the priestesses of the past was just so-so; they kept to themselves and didn't interfere with each other."

Ryoko sighed: "That's the problem."

"The shrine maiden has been missing, and Masako has caused such a commotion."

"The shrine maiden waited outside Izumo for a long time, trying to find Masako, but she couldn't."

"Furthermore, the people I sent reported that the Priestess released her domain a few days ago, pulling Izumo City and all the surrounding towns into it, presumably to conceal the situation in Izumo and avoid causing panic outside."

"But she alone would probably find it difficult to deal with this anomaly in Izumo."

Hiizuki and Mitsuko nodded.

If the source of the anomaly is not only the priestess, but also a demon from the Age of Gods, then the priestess alone will have a hard time dealing with it.

Liangzi: "There's been no word from her yet, but I estimate she'll send a message asking for help soon."

Hearing the three of them talking, Morikawa Yu couldn't help but interject, "So what should we do?"

Liangzi looked at him and said, "If she comes to us for help, we should help her. At the very least, we can't let her handle this alone."

There is an obligation among the gods to help each other. If a god encounters a problem that he cannot solve, even some of the demons from the divine era who are on good terms with the god will lend a hand.

Mitsuko took Morikawa Yu's hand: "Darling~"

"You don't need to worry about this."

“It’s not convenient for Ryoko to show up, but you still have me and Hitsuki to help you, so you don’t need to go to Izumo.”

"Moreover, the pheasant is also in Kyushu, which is very close to Izumo."

"Although she is not strong among the demons of our Age of Gods, she is Masako's natural enemy. We can go directly to help the Priestess Hime."

Morikawa Yu was silent.

That's what he said, but he still hoped he could help.

Feiyue looked at him, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Husband, this matter is difficult to handle, please don't be reckless."

Morikawa Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

He knew, of course, that his strength was not yet sufficient to participate in the changes in Izumo.

Whether they are gods or demons of the divine era, they are the most powerful figures in the hidden realm.

Although he is already very strong, he is still far from reaching this level.

Ryoko stood up: "That's fine then."

"We'll discuss this further once the Priestess sends word, or if she discovers something."

Hiizuki and Mitsuko also stood up.

Hiizuki: "I'll also call Chiko and ask her to keep an eye on Izumo so she can help if there are any problems."

Ryoko nodded: "Mm."

"Then I'll go back first."

Morikawa Yu: "I'll see you off."

He saw Ryoko off at the door, watched her teleport back to the shrine from outside the manor, and then returned to the villa.

He didn't go up to the third floor, but stood in the living room, watching Xinjue and Da Yuwan still playing games.

Daimaru turned to look at him, and while playing the game, asked with some curiosity, "What were you guys talking about just now?"

“We were talking about the situation in Izumo.” Morikawa Yu: “It seems the situation there has worsened again. The demigods that had been absent from the area have appeared, used their power to envelop Izumo City, and then disappeared.”

"Your god has released his domain and is guarding Izumo City. He will probably have to face both the priestess and that demon from the Age of Gods at the same time."
