I'm having fun in Tokyo

She also wanted to see the cherry blossoms on Mount Fuji. After all, after Mount Fuji was enshrined as the Kanto Shinto shrine, the mountain and the surrounding area became the private property of the Kanto Shinto shrine, and no one else was allowed to approach it.

Even members of upper-class families like theirs can only travel to Mount Fuji on extremely rare occasions.

She hadn't been there yet, and neither had her father or uncle, Keisuke Fujiwara.

"Does Shiori also want to go to Mount Fuji to see the cherry blossoms?" Morikawa Yu noticed Fujiwara Shiori's expression and asked jokingly.

Shiori Fujiwara hesitated for a moment, wanting to shake her head, but also somewhat wanting to go.

Morikawa Yu thought for a moment and said, "Then you should come to Tokyo with Miss Moka. I also want to see Mount Fuji."

His gaze shifted to Feiyue and Xinjue.

"Feiyue, how about it? Want to go take a look together?"

Feiyue was resting with her eyes closed.

She opened her eyes, looked at Morikawa Yu, and nodded: "Yes, it's rare for you to want to go out for a walk with the family, of course you can."

"Alright then." Morikawa Yu nodded and smiled.

“Alright, darling.” Mitsuko nudged his arm. “We’ll talk about going to Mount Fuji to see the cherry blossoms when we get back. Right now, the important thing is the anomaly in Izumo.”

She put down the report on the border region of Izumo and the anomaly investigation, and rubbed her temples.

“I’ve read all these investigation reports. I’m a little curious about the local shrine in SJ City. I have some questions for her.”

"After we land in Osaka, we won't be going back to Kyoto."

“I will tell Kaoru to take your friend Otamaru to Osaka International Airport, and then arrange for a Fujiwara family private plane to go directly to Tottori Airport.”

“Okay.” Morikawa Yu nodded.

We can talk about cherry blossom viewing when we get back.

He was also a little curious about the cherry blossom shrine maiden.

As for Daitamaru...

Let Otamaru wait for him for a while.

Chapter 496 How did you become a Sword Saint?

......

An hour and a half later, the Tokugawa family's private plane arrived at Osaka International Airport.

The special car sent by Inari Shrine to deliver Otamaru also arrived, and in addition to Otamaru, there was also Mitsuko's shrine maiden Kaoru Kashima, as well as several shrine officials.

Kaoru Kashima and the others stood at the edge of the airport runway, watching the plane land smoothly and slowly taxi down the runway.

The passenger boarding bridge next to it drove towards the special plane.

Soon, the passenger stairs of the passenger boarding bridge rose and docked with the cabin door.

The cabin door opened, and Morikawa Yu, Mitsuko, and Hisuki stepped out of the cabin, followed by Asaka, Shinkaku, and Fujiwara Shiori, two female administrative officers.

Kaoru Kashima bowed to Mitsuko and Yu Morikawa, and finally bowed to Hitsuki.

“Your Highness, Your Highness Morikawa, Your Highness His Highness, welcome back to Kansai.” She looked at Mitsuko: “Your Highness, the private jet you requested has been arranged and is ready to take off at any time for Tottori Sand Dunes Airport.”

Would you like to rest here for a while?

Mitsuko shook her head: "No need."

"I want to see the local shrine maiden from SJ City whom the shrine maiden rescued, and ask her some questions. I'll head straight to Tottori City in a bit; you guys go back."

"Yes, Your Highness." Kaoru Kashima bowed again. "We will return after Your Highness departs on the private jet."

Morikawa Yu's gaze bypassed Kashima Kaoru and fell on the convoy of limousines at the edge of the runway: "Where's Ootamamaru? Didn't you bring her here?"

"I'm here!" A voice rang out from the last car in the convoy. Daimaru pushed open the car door, got out, and ran to him. "I'm here, I'm here!"

Morikawa Yu: "Why are you hiding so far away?"

Ootama sighed, "I wanted to surprise you, but you came, and to make matters worse, you didn't even come by yourself."

"forget it. I'm done here."

She shook her head and bowed to Mitsuko and Hisui: "Princess Mitsuko, and Hisui-neechan, good morning."

Mitsuko sized her up, glanced at Hiizuki beside her, and frowned: "You, how come you call me Your Highness, but Hiizuki your older sister?"

Do I look older than Fei Yue?

“Of course not.” Otamaru quickly shook his head: “I just think that we are on His Highness’s territory now, so we should follow the rules here.”

"At home, I also call my prince 'Your Highness'..."

Mitsuko frowned slightly.

Ootamaru smiled apologetically, walked towards Asaka, and waved to her: "Miss Asaka, you've become even cuter in just two days."

Asaka rolled her eyes at her.

She hates it when people say she's cute, as if she's good for nothing but being cute. And yesterday, she was so upset by Xinjue that she didn't want to hear anyone say she's cute anymore.

But she also waved to Otamaru, which was considered a greeting.

Finally, Otamaru walked towards Shinkaku and came to Shinkaku's side: "Hey, Shinkaku."

She lowered her voice: "Tell me, where have you gotten the black flag?"

Xin Jue thought for a moment and said, "It's sequence nine."

"How could you attack so fast?" Daimamaru was taken aback.

"I've only been back in Ise for a day, and then I waited for you guys in Kyoto for a day, and you've already progressed from Sequence 3 to Sequence 9? You didn't play through the night for two days straight, did you?"

Xinjue shook her head: "Not really, it's just that we got to Sequence Nine while we were playing."

Actually, she went to the Dragon World with Morikawa Yu and played the game in the Goshuincho space when she had nothing to do.

Because the flow of time is different in the Dragon World and the real world.

Two days passed for Otamaru, and she spent more than a week with Morikawa Yu. There was nothing much going on in between, so the game progressed very quickly.

“Sequence Nine…” Daiyu Maru had a toothache.

She and Xinjue were gaming friends, not the kind of "gaming friends" who never contacted each other after adding each other, but rather true gaming partners.

At that time, she and Shinkaku took turns progressing through the game, and then, because of Izumo, she went back to protect Ise Grand Shrine.

Two days later, Xinjue had actually pushed the game's progress to the very late game.

“Ootamaru, you…” Morikawa Yu stared at Ootamaru and Shinkaku, somewhat speechless.

He originally wanted to give Daimama a "surprise" by mentioning his advancement to the Sword Saint realm, but the guy's appearance as a gamer, just like Shinjuku's, made him reluctant to bring it up again.

He patted Daimamaru on the shoulder: "Alright, time to get down to business. We can play games later."

"Oh." Daitamaru nodded.

She turned around, looked at Morikawa Yu, and suddenly paused, as if she had discovered something, her eyes widening.

"Don't move."

Morikawa Yu: "What's wrong?"

Daitamaru shook his head with a serious expression, staring intently at Morikawa Yu. He leaned closer to look at him, staring at his face, then closed his eyes, tilting his head slightly as if sensing something.

Beside them, Shinkaku and Asaka were both stunned.

Kaoru Kashima and the other officers were also stunned and subconsciously looked at Mitsuko.

Mitsuko frowned, but remained silent.

"Morikawa, has your swordsmanship improved quite a bit?" Daitamaru suddenly asked.

Morikawa Yu: "Yes."

"Besides that, haven't you gotten a lot stronger?"

"Of course." Morikawa Yu nodded.

Daitamaru opened his eyes, his expression complicated: "Then did you also cross that final line and reach the realm of Sword Saint?"

"Huh?" Morikawa Yu: "How did you know?"

He didn't want to talk about it, but Daimamaru guessed that he had become a sword saint, which made him a little curious.

Ootamaru: "How did you guess? I sensed it, of course!"

"I am, after all, the founder of the Ise Itto-ryu school. According to your human swordsmanship classification, I am at least at the level of a swordsman master or a great swordsman. I have a very keen sense for strong people who also practice swordsmanship!"

She placed her hands on Morikawa Yu's shoulders and stared intently at him: "But I don't quite understand how you suddenly crossed that line and entered the realm of Sword Saint?"

"That's so fast! How did you do that?!"

Morikawa Yu: "Hmm....."

He looked at Otamaru's face, which was full of doubt and curiosity, and felt that she was just as surprised as a researcher at a mathematics institute who discovered that her best friend, who was also a researcher, had quietly proven Fermat's Last Theorem, a world-renowned mathematical problem.

"It's roughly like this: I sensed it, and then I succeeded."

"Really?" Daitama stared at him, his eyes filled with doubt, as if he suspected he was joking. "It's that simple? Do you know how many swordsmen have struggled to reach this level but failed? Do you know how many human sword masters have spent their entire lives without ever crossing this threshold?"

"You succeeded so easily?"

Morikawa Yu thought for a moment and nodded.

Ootama sighed: "Never mind, no matter how you crossed this realm, you've already reached it."

"Congratulations, you are the second human sword saint in history."

"In the art of swordsmanship, you are still stronger."

Morikawa Yu thought for a moment: "The first one is... Urabe Asataka?"

Chapter 497 Arriving at the Destination

Daitamaru nodded: "Yes, it's him."

“Although I have never met him, the feeling you give me is completely different from before. Your sword aura surpasses that of any human swordsman. You must be at the level of a sword saint. He should be just like you.”

Morikawa Yu was taken aback: "You haven't seen him before?"

He thought that Daimamaru had met the human swordsman named Urabe Asataka in history, but he didn't expect that Daimamaru had never met him.

“No.” Daitamaru shook his head: “At that time, I heard that a human had reached a higher level of swordsmanship and was called a sword saint. I wanted to find this human, but something came up and I was delayed.”

"After I resolved that matter and other issues, when I wanted to go find him, I learned that he had already died of old age."

Ootama sighed, "This is also a regret in my heart."

"I really like your human swordsmanship, but I didn't expect him to die at the age of eighty-two. If he could have lived another twenty years or so, I would have had the time to go find him, meet him, and witness his swordsmanship."

"But it's okay now."

She pressed down on Morikawa Yu's shoulder and stared intently at his face.

“Although I have never met him, I have met you. You have also entered this realm. Putting aside your status as a god, and considering your age, you are probably stronger than him.”

She had a treasure-hunting look on her face: "Once this matter is resolved, I must come to your house for a while, play games with Xinjue, practice swordsmanship with you, and witness the true realm of a sword saint."

"Yes." Morikawa Yu: "Of course."

He noticed that Mitsuko and Hisukatsuki's expressions were getting increasingly strange, so he quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Ootamaru, now that you're out, there's no one to guard the Ise Grand Shrine, right? Are you sure it's okay?"

Daitamaru shook his head: "It's nothing."

"Weimeng has already gone back."

“She is more diligent than me, so she will definitely be able to protect the shrine.”

"Oh." Morikawa Yu nodded. He thought for a moment, looking at Otamaru and the level status above Otamaru's head.

He remembered seeing that Daiyumaru was level sixteen half a month ago.

Half a month later, Daiyu Maru had recovered to level seventeen, becoming even stronger than before.

Considering that the rating is a system estimate, Ootamaru's true condition should be that she has recovered to the level of strength she once had as the Oni-gami of Ise.

This made him a little curious.
