"The Shrine Maiden and the Divine Oriole are both secret rulers of Izumo. Putting aside the reasons for their loss of control, the two of them are themselves quite dangerous factors. Although Morikawa is quite strong, it would be difficult for him to guarantee his safety if he were to face them."

Feiyue thought for a moment and said, "I'll go too."

"In that case, there will be four of us near the Izumo region: myself, Mitsuko, Chiko, and Hime-miya."

“Even if a battle does break out, there will be enough resources to protect the Izumo region. My husband can go there and take a look; perhaps he can gain some insights.”

"How are you, my husband?"

She looked at Morikawa Yu.

Morikawa Yu thought for a moment and nodded.

But he had just returned from the Dragon World, bringing Erii with him, and wanted to rest for a while.

Erii's body also needs treatment.

At the very least, we need to remove the ancient dragon blood that is eroding her body first, and then we can figure out how to do the "brain pons surgery" later.

Hmm... I'm here by chance, so I'll ask Ryoko while I'm at it.

He looked at Ryoko.

“Ryoko, I brought a friend back with me this time. Her name is Erii.”

He organized his thoughts and recounted Erii's story.

Ryoko frowned in thought: "Did your brain get damaged when you were a child, and your pons was cut open? Is that why you are prone to emotional fluctuations and losing control of your strength?"

"In that case, as long as the damage is repaired using my powers, it should be restored, right?"

Morikawa Yu: "However, the problem is that we don't know what kind of power can do this."

He sighed.

Liangzi glanced at him: "So that's what's bothering you?"

"If I remember correctly, the divine demon from Izumo named Kamio should have such power."

Morikawa Yu was stunned for a moment.

"You're saying that the demon from the Age of Gods named Kaguya in the Cloud Realm has such power?"

“Hmm.” Ryoko nodded gently: “The previous head priestess of Tokyo… well, back then Tokyo wasn’t called Tokyo, it was called Edo. When she attended the annual head priestess meeting as the head priestess of Edo, she chatted with the shrine maiden at the time.”

"That priestess had some personal relationship with Shenzhi, and was considered to be the priestess with the best relationship with Shenzhi among all the priestesses in history."

"She mentioned that the Divine Weaver has a power that can reconnect separated things. Even things that are completely broken or destroyed can be restored to their original state by using her demonic power."

“A demon who followed the divine weaving was injured by another demon, his body was cut in half, and he was about to perish when he was saved in this way.”

"She was very interested in this, so she asked about it and wrote it down in the shrine's notes."

"These notes are kept in my Goshuincho (Imperial Seal Book)."

Do you want to take a look now?

Morikawa Yu thought for a moment and nodded.

Ryoko: "Alright, if you want to see it, you can directly access my Goshuincho through your Goshuincho and take it out to look at."

"Or I can find it for you now."

Soon, Morikawa Yu felt a fluctuation coming from the Goshuin Tent, and then a notebook appeared in the storage space, with several pages of it glowing.

Liangzi: "There are many notebooks like this. Basically, every priest leaves his own notebook. I also write them. This one is that senior's notebook from that year. I looked it up for you, and it should be in those few pages. Take a look."

"Hmm." Morikawa Yu took it in her hand and flipped through the pages of the journal.

He glanced at them and realized that these notes were more like diaries, recording the daily life of this deity.

Among them is her handwriting.

He took a look and found that they were all Chinese characters and hiragana, some of which he couldn't read smoothly, so he could only try to translate them.

"...In the eighth year of Keicho, on the fourth day of the Minami-zuki month, a message was sent from the world that the Shogun requested an audience and asked to establish a shogunate in Edo... After consideration, it was deemed acceptable, so I ordered Mikamiko Kujo Mie to receive him and also ordered Mie to go to Kyoto to inform the Kyoto Shinto Shrine Master Mitsuko and request that the Emperor grant permission to establish the castle."

"In the eighth year of Keicho, on the sixth day of the month, Mie returned from the Kyoto Kinki region."

"In the eighth year of Keicho, on the seventh day of the month of Mizuno-moon, the shrine maiden Mizuko came. Before leaving, she gave him a shogi game, saying that it could help pass the time. He played against Mie for twenty-three games and did not win a single one. Hmph, what a lousy game, so boring."

"In the eighth year of Keicho, there was no moon over the water. On the eighth day, I had nothing to do recently. Thinking about yesterday's chess game, I played again with Mie. In the sixteenth game, I won three."

"In the eighth year of Keicho, on the ninth day of the month, I played chess with Mie again. Mingjue saw through Mie's thoughts and played music to disturb her mind. In the twenty-one games, he won twelve, and his chess skills improved."

"In the eighth year of Keicho, there was no moon over the water. On the tenth day, I played a game with Mie again. Mie had no thoughts in her mind and used her divine power to plug her ears. She only won one game and was very annoyed."

"..."

"In the eighth year of Keicho, on the thirteenth day of the month of Mizuno-moon, I played Go with Mie again. Suddenly I realized that I had been playing Go for too long and had neglected my training. Koko, you are the head priest of Edo. You took this position from your teacher and bear the responsibility of managing the secrets of Kanto. How can you be so playful? You should train to prevent any unforeseen circumstances."

"In the eighth year of Keicho, there was no moon over the water. On the fourteenth day, we played chess."

"..."

After a moment of contemplation, Morikawa Yu felt that she was opening her notebook incorrectly.

But when he closed it and opened it again, it was still the same diary. He flipped through two more pages and finally found the record.

"In the eighth year of Keicho, on the seventeenth day of the Minazuki month, I went to Izumo Taisha Shrine and met with Suwa Kanako, the shrine lord of Shinano Shrine; Utsunomiya Yoshiko, the shrine lord of Ise Shrine; Mitsuko, the shrine lord of Kyoto Shrine; and Reiko, the shrine lord of Izumo Shrine."

"On that day, the great demon of the Divine Era, Shinori, was also at Izumo Taisha. Her companion was in poor health, seemingly on the verge of death and about to be revived. She spoke with Reiko, who explained the reason, and only then did we learn the cause..."

Morikawa Yu's eyes lit up, and she began to examine it closely.

According to the deity named Xiangzi in the notes, this power of the other party seems to be able to weave together all things.

Any damaged area or injury can be repaired using this power by consuming demonic or divine power, restoring it to its original state.

However, the longer and more severe the injury lasts, the more demonic and divine power is needed.

However, judging from the results, it should be able to cure Erii.

In that case... I really need to go to Izumo.

While helping Mitsuko and Hitsuki resolve this matter, he can also treat Erii at the same time.

If we can find that divine being named Kamori, we might be able to ask her to use her powers to heal Erii's injuries from the "pontine separation surgery".

...That being said, these divine records have been passed down from generation to generation.

Each deity leaves behind many notes.

If I hadn't used the shrinking drug to save Ryoko, would Ryoko have given him her notebook along with the old shrine's notebook?

Why haven't I heard Ryoko mention this?

He glanced at Ryoko, put the notebook back into the imperial seal tent, and hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't.

Liangzi coughed lightly and looked at Feiyue.

Feiyue had been watching her and Morikawa Yu, and then said, "In that case, let's just take Erii with us to Izumo."

“I can also help her improve her health.”

"Hmm." Morikawa Yu nodded: "Then it'll be me, you, the big fox, and Erii going to Izumo... What about Maki-sensei and Emi?"

He looked at Maki-sensei and Emi, who were sitting upright in the main hall.

Emi stared at him expectantly, her eyes wide open, as if she really wanted to ask him a question.

Ms. Maki seemed to want to go as well, but after hearing Ryoko and Morikawa Yu's conversation, she knew that going to Izumo was very dangerous, so she just shook her head.

"It's alright, Emi and I will stay at home. That way we can come over and keep Ryoko company every day."

Emi bit her lip.

Morikawa Yu thought for a moment and said, "Then let's do it this way."

He looked at Ryoko: "Himeki, Mitsuko, and I are going to Izumo. As for the time..."

Ryoko: "As for the time, we can go tomorrow."

"The priestess has been guarding the border of Izumo. If any problems arise, she will contact us directly. If no problems arise, it will be difficult to resolve in a short time."

Himezuki: "Then we'll head back first. Maki, Emi, do you want to stay here a little longer, or go back together?"

Ms. Maki: "Let's go back together."

She stood up, and Emi immediately stood up as well, walking with Maki-sensei to Morikawa Yu's side.

Morikawa Yu waved to Ryoko: "We're leaving now, Ryoko."

......

A dozen minutes later, I returned home.

Feiyue walked towards the living room: "Husband, we're going to Izumo tomorrow. You should rest today. I'll go check on the girl you brought back, use my powers to treat her body, and then see how it goes."

"Yes." Morikawa Yu nodded.

If you want to rest, a day should be enough.

But then he suddenly remembered something else: after he went to the Dragon World and resolved Herzog's matter, his experience points were already full, and he could break through and level up upon returning to the mortal world.

Why not use the experience points to level up first? Maybe this time when we go to Izumo, we can help Hitsuki and Mitsuko.

He walked into the living room, lost in thought.

In the living room, Nishino and Erii were writing and exchanging words in a notebook.

Although it was unclear what the two were talking about, Erii seemed very happy, her eyes sparkling.

Asaka lay to one side, her tail swaying lazily, looking utterly bored.

When she saw him and Feiyue return, she immediately raised her head.

Chapter 483 Waiting for her to grow up

"Humans." Asaka stood up, jumped off the sofa, and greeted him and Hisui and the others.

Morikawa Yu walked into the living room, reached out, and patted her head.

Asaka pouted, slapped his hand away, and tidied her hair.

Morikawa Yu didn't care and turned to look at Nishino and Erii.

Hearing him and Hishitsuki return, Nishino put down his pen and notebook: "Your Highness, you're back. Have you found a way to treat Erii-san?"

Erii looked up at him curiously.

Morikawa Yu nodded: "Yes, we found it. The great demon goddess Orihime of the Izumo land possesses a power that can weave together all things, which should be able to heal Erii's pontine wound."

Nishino nodded, somewhat hesitantly: "But, didn't something strange happen in Izumo?"

She used to be the household god of the Fujiwara family. Although she has now become a great yokai, she still tends to see things from the perspective of an ordinary yokai.

For her, changes that could affect an entire region were too terrifying and too distant.

She couldn't imagine what a terrible scene it would be if a god who stood at the top of the secret realm, guarding the secrets and governing a region lost control.

Morikawa Yu: "Indeed."

"Izumo has indeed undergone an unusual change."

"That divine demon also disappeared during the anomaly; we don't know where it went."

"That's why I thought of going to Izumo with Hime and Mitsuko to see what happened there and help resolve the incident."

"Otherwise, the mutation will spread everywhere and sooner or later endanger the Kansai region, and then Kyoto, and even Tokyo."

Nishino's expression turned serious: "I understand, Your Highness."

"Alright, we'll handle things outside. You don't need to worry at home." Feiyue put down the haori she was holding.

Her hand swept across her shoulder, lifting her silver-white hair and binding it behind her back with her demonic power. She walked towards Nishino and looked at Erii sitting on the sofa.

"Nishino, go to your husband first. I need to use my powers to treat her body and wash away the highly corrosive fetal blood from her body."

"Yes." Nishino nodded immediately.

She stood up, gently handed the notebook to Erii, turned and walked towards Morikawa Yu. She walked up to Morikawa Yu, looked up at him, and softly began to tell him about the conversation she had just had with Erii.

"...That's about it, Your Highness. Miss Erii is quite interested in us yokai."

Morikawa Yu nodded.
