I'm having fun in Tokyo

According to Asaka's explanation and Daitamaru's previous performance, demons and gods should rely on faith to condense divinity, and rely on divinity to become demons and gods. With the end of the Age of Gods, demons and gods will also weaken like gods, and may even dissipate because of their divinity.

If Ootamaru has shed her divinity, how did she recover to be as strong as she was when she had divinity?

It can't be as simple as just restoring strength, right?

He thought for a moment, then asked, but instead of asking directly, he mentioned it subtly.

Otamaru stroked his chin: "Hmm, His Highness and I have also thought about this question, but we haven't found the answer."

"As for my current state, I would say I possess the power of a ghost or god, but lack the divinity of one?"

"Of course, I don't know if my power can be considered the power of ghosts and gods. There are not many ghosts and gods in the secret world now. However, there are a few former ghosts and gods who have abandoned their positions and become local gods of humans."

"Their supernatural powers were transformed into the divine power of the God-King. Although they suffered the pain of their divinity dissipating, they were still alive because of the position of the God-King."

"Speaking of which, the local shrine in Tottori City, which we're going to this time, is just such a guy."

“My lord asked me to come along because he wanted to compare the difference between my power and hers. If possible, he might be able to help them remove their divinity as well.”

"Okay." Morikawa Yu nodded, "Then let's go take a look together."

Otamaru chuckled upon hearing this, wrapped her arms around his neck, and draped one arm over his shoulder: "Alright then, I'll go to Tottori City with you guys."

Morikawa Yu hummed.

He felt something was off about the touch on his chest, and without making a sound, he adjusted his posture and moved away from Daimamaru.

He looked at Mitsuko: "Shall we leave now?"

Mitsuko nodded: "Mm."

She turned her gaze to Kashima Kaoru, who was waiting to the side.

Kaoru Kashima immediately replied, "The private plane to Tottori Airport is ready."

“I can take you there right now.”

"Alright then." Mitsuko finally perked up a little, turned around and took Morikawa Yu's hand: "Let's go, darling."

"Okay." Morikawa Yu nodded.

Kaoru Kashima waved to the officers beside her, who immediately turned around and began to lead the way.

The group headed towards another airport...

......

More than half an hour later.

Tottori City, Kansai border region, Tottori Sand Dune Airport.

Morikawa Yu, Mitsuko, and Hiizuki got off the plane, followed by Asaka, Fujiwara Shiori, Tokugawa Maka, and finally Otamaru chatting with Shinkaku.

Fujiwara Shiori quickened her pace and walked to the front with Tokugawa Maka.

She raised her hand, glanced at her watch, and then said to Morikawa Yu and Mitsuko, "Your Highness, we have arrived at Tottori Sand Dune Airport. The people who are picking us up are already waiting in the airport arrival room."

"The largest family in Tottori City now is the Ikeda family, the former lords of the Tottori Domain."

"The head of the Ikeda family is named Ikeda Chika."

"Two months ago, when our shrine held a banquet at Nijo Castle, this head of the Ikeda family also attended. However, his status was not high enough to enter the Honmaru Palace, so he dined at the Ninomaru Palace with the heads of other families."

"I heard that you, Prince Morikawa, and Princess Hishitsuki came to Tottori City. He was very happy and personally led people to welcome the three princes. He also cleared out the main estate to serve as a temporary residence for the three princes. In addition, he prepared a banquet."

Tokugawa Maka: "Speaking of the Ikeda family, I just remembered."

“When our Tokugawa family was still the shogunate, the Ikeda family became the lords of the Tottori region. I never thought that after so long, they would still be the 'lords' of the Tottori region.”

As they talked, they soon arrived at the arrivals area of ​​Tottori Airport.

In the arrivals area, there were seven or eight people waiting, the one at the front of the group being a middle-aged man wearing a hat.

Upon seeing Fujiwara Shiori and Tokugawa Maka leading the way, he immediately removed his hat and bowed slightly: "Chief Fujiwara, Tokugawa Affairs Officer."

Fujiwara Shiori shook her head slightly: "His Highness is right behind us."

As she was speaking, Morikawa Yu, Mitsuko, and Hisui walked into the arrival room.

The middle-aged man immediately bowed in greeting.

"Ikeda Chika, head of the Ikeda family of Tottori City, pays his respects to the three lords."

Morikawa Yu, Hisui, and Mitsuko looked at the head of the Ikeda family who was bowing in greeting.

Mitsuko took Morikawa Yu's arm and said telepathically, "Darling, although I am the Kansai God, I mostly govern Kansai from Kyoto and haven't been to the border areas much."

"I'll be leaving the meeting with these local family heads to you."

"Don't worry about handling things here. Feiyue and I will focus on protecting you, staying by your side, and being with you."

Morikawa Yu was slightly startled and looked at Mitsuko.

Although Mitsuko said that, he had never been to the border region.

Is the big fox really comfortable letting him take the lead?

Mitsuko linked her arm with his, smiled softly at him, and whispered in his mind, "Don't worry, darling~"

"You are the sage of Tokyo, the arbitrator protecting this region. If you simply show your attitude, give them a small promise, and tell them that you will resolve the Izumo incident and protect their safety, they will be grateful to you and loyal to you."

"This is also the duty of these local heads of households."

"As for appeasing them and talking to them, you can leave that to Shiori and Maka."

"If they make you feel uncomfortable, you can tell them directly or punish them. These are your rights. You don't need to restrain yourself. They are the ones who should be careful to serve you."

"Furthermore, the most important thing here is the local shrine. Even in border areas, the local elites are all dependent on the local shrine."

"In a bit, we'll go to the shrine here, find the local shrine master, and then see the cherry blossom shrine maiden that the shrine maiden saved."

"Okay," Morikawa Yu transmitted his voice, "Leave it to me."

"Then it's settled, darling, I'll leave these local matters to you."

Mitsuko smiled, her eyes narrowing, and gently kissed Morikawa Yu on the cheek: "Here's a little kiss as a reward~"

Beside her, Fei Yue frowned slightly, her eyes showing displeasure.

That sly fox has taken advantage of her husband countless times along the way.

She was mindful of Morikawa Yu and Mitsuko's reputation in front of Fujiwara Shiori and Tokugawa Maka, so she didn't tell Mitsuko, but she didn't expect Mitsuko to become more and more blatant.

Feiyue grasped Morikawa Yu's hand and pulled him closer to her.

Mitsuko raised an eyebrow.

But considering that she and Morikawa Yu were still in front of their subordinates, Shiori Fujiwara and Maka Tokugawa, she didn't argue with Hiizuki. Instead, she smiled with narrowed eyes and took Morikawa Yu's left arm.

His gaze shifted to the head of the Ikeda family.

Morikawa Hayao doesn't know much about Japan's shogunate system.

He had only studied part of Japan's national history, and through his exposure to the secrets, he learned that the shogunate was the feudal system of Japan in the past, and at the same time, it was the current regime that was secretly recognized.

In Japan, whoever becomes the supreme lord of the country will vigorously support his own hereditary retainers, namely the gokenin or fudai, and rely on them to maintain the rule of the hierarchical feudal system.

In local areas, the powerful clans that were granted fiefdoms were the local lords.

This head of the Ikeda family should be a 'lord' like this, but in modern times, the title of lord no longer exists.

Morikawa Yu looked at the head of the Ikeda family.

The head of the Ikeda family stood in front of the seven or eight people who came to pick him up at the airport.

After he finished bowing, he carefully looked at Morikawa Yu and Mitsuko, and gave Morikawa Yu a warm smile.

Through his years of experience in reading people, he noticed the expressions on Mitsuko and Hisuki's faces. Combined with the news from Kyoto and Tokyo, he immediately understood the relationship between the three of them, and his smile toward Morikawa Yu became even more eager.

"Your Highness Morikawa, how have you been lately?"

"You recognize me?" Morikawa Yu frowned slightly.

“Of course.” The head of the Ikeda family immediately nodded respectfully.

"At the last banquet at Princess Mitsuko's shrine, Princess Mitsuko and Chief Fujiwara passed by the Ninomaru Palace, and I was fortunate enough to see Princess Mitsuko's appearance in front of the Ninomaru Palace."

"I never expected that only two months later, His Highness would have already taken over the position of Princess Nagako."

"Hmm." Morikawa Yu nodded lightly.

Only he, his family, and a few people at the Tokyo Shrine knew about Ryoko's affairs; it was not made public. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, he had taken over Ryoko's position as the head priest of Tokyo and become the head priest of Tokyo who governed the Kanto region.

The head of the Ikeda family continued, "It is a great honor that the three princes have come from Kyoto to Tottori City. I have ordered a welcoming luncheon to be prepared for the three princes. Would the princes be willing to join us?"

He looked at Morikawa Yu with a respectful smile.

"Lunch?" Morikawa Yu shook her head: "No need."

"We still have things to do, let's go straight to Tottori Shrine."

The head of the Ikeda family was slightly taken aback, but immediately nodded and smiled: "Yes, I understand. Since the three lords have something to attend to, I will contact the shrine keeper of Karasuha at Tottori Shrine immediately."

He looked at the person next to him.

A young man who looked like an assistant immediately walked to the side and headed towards the outside of the arrivals room.

Morikawa Yu glanced over there and, with his extraordinary hearing, easily overheard what the young assistant was saying on the phone.

"...This is Tottori Airport. The three princes from Kyoto have arrived, but they do not intend to have lunch. They are going directly to Karasu-no-Shrine. Please inform the shrine lord of Karasu-no-Shrine that the three princes from Kyoto will be there soon."

Soon, the phone call ended, and a new dial tone came from the other end.

"Pass down the word: the three princes from Kyoto do not intend to have a luncheon; the banquet is cancelled. Also, prepare some offerings and sweets that can be eaten at the shrine, ready to be sent to Karasu-no-Shrine at any time..."

"Your Highness Morikawa." The head of the Ikeda family bowed slightly and gestured for them to enter the arrival room.

"A convoy is ready outside; you and the two princes can depart at any time."

The people behind him all bowed.

"Well, I see."

Morikawa Yu nodded.

He watched as the head of the Ikeda family turned and led the way, then took Mitsuko and Hisukatsuki's hands, and followed them outside.

The group walked out of the VIP arrival lounge, through the airport passageway, and onto the outside of the passageway.

A line of black cars was already parked outside, arranged in a row on the terminal platform outside the passageway. Surprisingly, they were all extended luxury cars, and the interior space looked very large.

"Your Highness, please." The head of the Ikeda family stepped forward personally, opened the door of the middle car, and waited by his side.

Morikawa Yu walked towards the car door, then suddenly stopped and looked towards the edge of the terminal platform as if sensing something.

A faint reflection from the camera lens could be heard there.

A guy with a camera, looking like a reporter, was hiding there, and he furtively put the camera away.

A middle-aged man accompanying the head of the Ikeda family changed his expression.

He glanced cautiously at Morikawa Yu and the head of the Ikeda family, picked up his phone, walked to the side, and lowered his voice, but couldn't hide his anger: "Hey, wasn't it said that Tottori Airport was under martial law and patrolled outside? How come a reporter still got in?"

"What did those county police officers do?"

"Ask Sakai if he still wants to stay in his position as inspector."

"Arrest that guy right now."

"Don't wait until His Highness and the others get angry, or even the head of the family won't be able to protect you fools. Also, find out how that reporter got in, and which newspaper or media outlet he's from. Revoke their licenses first."

Immediately, a team of police officers in trench coats rushed up from below the terminal platform, chased after the suspicious-looking guy, quickly tackled him to the ground, dragged him into the terminal, and disappeared.

The head of the Ikeda family looked at Morikawa Yu with an embarrassed expression and bowed deeply: "Your Highness, in accordance with the orders of Kyoto Shrine, we had the prefectural police clear Tottori Airport, but due to the time constraints, there were still oversights. Please punish us, Your Highness."

Morikawa Yu: "Hmm..."

When the head of the Ikeda family mentioned it, he remembered.

He and Mitsuko originally planned to go back to Kyoto first and then come to Tottori City. However, Mitsuko wanted to see the cherry blossom shrine maiden Mizuki Rin, whom the shrine maiden had rescued, first, and then transfer directly from Osaka to a private plane to Tottori City.
