I'm having fun in Tokyo

"Yes, I know," the older sister chuckled.

She exhaled, a faint crimson mist emanating from her cherry lips. Her body became somewhat ethereal, her feet leaving the ground as she returned to her spirit form.

"Let's leave it at that for now. I'll use my Blood Qi Body when we have barbecue."

Morikawa Yu: "Mm."

He thought for a moment and said, "Then where shall we eat, at the manor?"

To be honest, the manor is quite large, and there are plenty of open spaces that can be used as barbecue areas.

Mitsuko: "I think it's a good idea, let's do it at the manor."

Beside him, Xinjue paused the game and put down the controller: "So, shall we have barbecue this afternoon?"

"Yes." Morikawa Yu nodded.

"Yay!" Xinjue stood up and put the game controller aside.

"Barbecue, barbecue!"

"I'll go call Maki and Emi." She flicked the cat tail she had conjured and turned to run upstairs.

"Wait a minute," Morikawa Yu called out to her.

"I'll just send a message to Maki-sensei and Emi, as well as Mrs. Kazumi and Chi-chan, so you don't have to make the trip."

Soon, he sent messages to Ms. Maki and the others.

Not long after, Ms. Maki and Emi came downstairs, and Mrs. Kazumi and Chi-chan also came down from the third floor.

Ms. Maki walked directly towards him and then looked around the living room.

"So we're having barbecue this afternoon? Morikawa, what made you think of that?"

“It’s my older sister.” Morikawa Yu looked at her older sister: “My older sister wanted to eat barbecue, so we’re going to eat together.”

"That's fine then." Ms. Maki nodded.

Feiyue sighed: "We said we wanted to have barbecue, but we don't have any barbecue tools or ingredients at home."

Ms. Maki raised an eyebrow slightly: "No tools or ingredients?"

Emi raised her hand: "Hime-neechan, Maki-sensei, I can call home and have them order some groceries and tools delivered."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Emi-chan." Hishitsuki nodded.

"No need," Emi quickly shook her head. "I'm happy to be of help."

"You've been a great help." Morikawa Yu walked over to Emi and patted her head. Emi blushed and was too embarrassed to speak.

"Oh, right." Morikawa Yu suddenly remembered something.

"Since we're having a barbecue, it'll be more lively with more people. Shall we call Ryoko over too? And Keiko, let's call Keiko over too."

Keiko is his kendo apprentice, an experienced kendo master with a strong will. She follows him to learn kendo, but he doesn't teach her much. He just shows her kendo forms and lets her learn on her own.

Chapter 493 Not gaining weight is the standard for beautiful girls

But she was determined and learned very quickly. The last time I taught her, she had already reached the level of a master swordsman.

Judging from this, she should reach the level of a sword master in a few years.

"Yes." Emi nodded.

She had actually thought of Keiko, but she was too embarrassed to say it.

"I'll make the call right now." Emi took out her phone.

She finished the call quickly.

More than half an hour later, Keiko Takeda and the people who delivered the ingredients and tools arrived outside the manor.

Emi was about to have her family send over some meat, but when Keiko Takeda heard that Yu Morikawa had invited her to have a barbecue, she immediately volunteered to prepare it herself.

Finally, she brought over the ingredients and barbecue tools.

In addition to the meat, vegetables, and fish for the barbecue, she also brought many snacks and drinks.

"Master, if this is not enough, I can have more sent over."

Keiko looked at Morikawa Yu cautiously.

For some reason, she felt that Morikawa Yu seemed to have become stronger.

Although she had already become a renowned swordswoman, her swordsmanship seemed to be drifting further and further away from her master's level.

Morikawa Yu glanced at the food piled up in half of the cold storage truck: "How could it not be enough? This is definitely enough for us, okay?"

"But, aren't all the mistresses demons?" Huizi looked at him cautiously.

The monsters' bodies were so enormous, completely different from humans, that she was quite worried and had so many sent directly.

“Hmm, that’s true.” Morikawa Yu thought for a moment, “But they don’t eat too much. Your masters’ wives usually have normal appetites.”

“Indeed.” Mitsuko walked over, her fox tail swaying behind her. “Although we are all yokai, when we don’t manifest our yokai forms, our appetites are actually no different from those of humans—I mean, normal appetites.”

"If you want to keep eating and enjoying delicious food, you can use your demonic power to digest and store the food, so you don't have to worry about excess calories."

Morikawa Yu: "So that's why you monsters can't gain weight?"

“That’s right.” Mitsuko smiled, her eyes narrowing. “Being able to eat without gaining weight is a standard feature of beautiful girls, which is why there are so many beautiful girls among us yokai.”

Morikawa Yu nodded after hearing this.

Indeed, most of the monsters he had seen were beautiful girls.

Lady Kazumi is also a gentle, white-haired beauty with a great temperament, and although Chi-chan is a half-demon, she is also a very cute little loli.

Even the male demon kings like Ibuki and Ibaraki are very good-looking. It's just that Ibaraki, who is clearly a boy, looks so good in women's clothing, which has left some psychological trauma on him.

Huizi immediately showed an envious expression.

She's a beautiful girl, but she has to worry about her figure all the time.

Fortunately, practicing kendo is very physically demanding, so she doesn't have much excess fat and maintains a good figure.

Morikawa Yu thought for a moment.

"Okay then, I'll prepare the barbecue in the normal quantities. You guys have some fun first."

"In that case, it's all up to your skills, darling~" Mitsuko took Morikawa Yu's hand, stood on tiptoe, and gave him a light kiss on the cheek.

"I'm looking forward to it."

Emi, standing to the side with a blush, walked over and said, "Let me do it with the department head."

Back when we were in the kendo club, Maki-sensei would organize club barbecues, and she and Morikawa Yu would always grill together.

Although the process is a bit tiring, you can choose how much to grill, and at the end, you can legitimately eat the last batch of freshly grilled barbecue with Morikawa Yu alone.

"I'll help too," Xinjue said, raising her hand.

"Hmm." Morikawa Yu nodded, then frowned, looking at Shinjue's exquisite black and white Lolita maid outfit.

I feel that my body is really not suited for barbecuing.

However, her maid outfits are basically all in this style.

Morikawa Yu: "Fine, just wait and eat."

“Alright…” Xinjue stopped and stood beside him. She thought for a moment and then looked up: “Then I’ll help you out, Master.”

......

Soon, Morikawa Yu and Emi started preparing a barbecue together.

Asaka and Nishino also came to help, and Mrs. Kazumi also prepared some very exquisite barbecue desserts.

Although Morikawa Yu only ate a little bit in the end, he felt very happy seeing Mitsuko and Shinkaku eating so happily.

In the evening, after cleaning up the barbecue area from the afternoon and seeing Keiko off, watching her get into the car that was supposed to pick her up, Morikawa Yu returned to the manor, walked into the villa's entrance hall, and entered the living room.

The older sister sat next to Xinjue, watching Xinjue play the game, and softly hummed the tune of the game's background music.

Morikawa Yu walked to her sister's side, looked at her, and sighed: "You were the one who wanted to eat barbecue, but in the end, you didn't actually eat much."

When my sister was having barbecue in the afternoon, she sat next to Erii. She barely ate any skewers, but shared some barbecue desserts with Erii.

"Because my body isn't up to par." The older sister turned around and chuckled. "Using your physical body for too long will damage your spirit. Besides, I just thought you haven't eaten at home in a long time, so I wanted to have a meal together and make it more lively."

“I knew it would be like this.” Morikawa Yu shook his head.

But having a barbecue together at home in the afternoon was indeed very enjoyable.

His sister smiled at him and said, "Then, get a good rest tonight and prepare for tomorrow's itinerary."

“You need to get some rest.” Mitsuko walked over. “Tomorrow, my dear, Asaka, Hisuka, and I will go back to Kyoto first, and then transfer to a plane from Kyoto to the Izumo border.”

"Let's bring Xin Jue along too." Fei Yue walked over as well: "Her abilities are very useful."

“Normally, let her stay by our side. If we need to fight, let her hide in her husband’s Goshuincho space. You, Mitsuko, also have a Goshuincho, so you can protect her as well.”

Mitsuko nodded: "Yes, that's fine."

"In addition, I have already contacted Kaoru and asked her to send a private plane to pick us up, and to notify the Fujiwara and Tokugawa families to send people to the Izumo border."

"Let's go back to Kyoto tomorrow, and then transfer to a flight to the Izumo border in the afternoon."

“And also, darling.” Mitsuko turned to look at Morikawa Yu.

Do you still remember your friend, Daitamaru?

"Oogamaru?" Morikawa Yu paused for a moment. "I remember her. What happened to her?"

Mitsuko: "When the shrine maiden learned that we were going to the border of Izumo to help her, she summoned Otamaru from the Ise Grand Shrine and asked him to wait for us in Kyoto so that we could go to the border of Izumo together."

"That's why I need to go back."

“Okay.” Morikawa Yu nodded.

Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've seen that girl, Ootamaru. I wonder how well she's recovered, and whether she's regained her former strength as the Oni-gami of Ise.

He had just advanced to the Sword Saint realm, so he decided to fight her again and let her guess his current strength, giving her a "surprise".

"That's settled then." Feiyue: "Let's rest today and go to Kyoto tomorrow."

"Okay." Morikawa Yu also nodded.

......

The next day, early in the morning, Morikawa Yu got up and washed up.

Yesterday, at his sister's urging, he prepared his luggage and was ready to leave early this morning.

He, along with Hiizuki, Mitsuko, Shinkaku, and Asaka, traveled by car to Haneda Airport to catch a flight to Kyoto.

The last time he went to Kyoto, he traveled on the Fujiwara family's private plane.

Upon learning of his and Mitsuko's return to Kyoto, the Tokugawa family, one of the three great families, sent a special plane.

There were also several acquaintances on the private jet who came to greet us.

Chapter 494 Long time no see

The first person to wait at the cabin door for him and Hiizuki to board the Tokugawa family's private plane was Tokugawa Maka, the Tokugawa family's administrative officer at Inari Shrine.

Shrine officials are the young elites of Kyoto's upper-class families. They are selected by their families to become officials, sent to the shrine for training, and then return to their families to take on important positions after retiring from their official posts.

Furthermore, due to the power politics of Inari, only members of upper-class families who have served as shrine officials can wield real power within their respective families, thereby ensuring the loyalty of these upper-class families to the shrine.

When he and the big fox returned to Kyoto this time, the Tokugawa family specially sent Tokugawa Mako to wait for them on the private plane.

"Yah, Mr. Morikawa, it's been a long time."

Tokugawa Maka waved to Morikawa Yu, then suddenly seemed to remember something and smiled sheepishly: "Ah... no, you have already inherited Princess Ryoko's legacy, so I should call you Princess Morikawa now."

"Your Highness Morikawa, it's been a long time~"

"Yes, it's been a long time, Miss Moka." Morikawa Yu smiled.

He turned to look at Fujiwara Shiori next to Tokugawa Maka: "It's been a long time, Miss Fujiwara."

Although this private plane belonged to the Tokugawa family, it was carrying out the orders of Kaoru Kashima, the shrine maiden of Kyoto Shrine. The shrine officials who came to greet him and Mitsuko on the plane were not only Tokugawa Maka, but also Fujiwara Shiori.
