I'm having fun in Tokyo

Daitamaru fell into deep thought.

Morikawa Yu frowned slightly.

Although he wasn't entirely sure if that was really the case, the issue was clearly not that simple.

If only we could find any demons or spirits other than Ootamaru and Karasu no Kami.

It's just unknown how many ghosts and gods still exist in this world. In any case, all the gods are dead, and he was the one who dealt with the last god.

"Alright, darling, let's put aside the questions we don't understand for now, and don't forget about Izumo." Mitsuko gently held Morikawa Yu's hand: "The main reason we came here this time is to resolve the anomaly in Izumo."

Morikawa Yu nodded.

The expression on the face of the Raven Feather God also turned serious.

She looked at Morikawa Yu, Mitsuko, and Hishitsuki who was listening to their conversation: "Since you want to talk about the Cloud Gate, then I will speak frankly."

“Your Highness Mitsuko, you asked me, the local shrine lord of these border areas, to investigate the anomalies in Izumo, but I haven’t obtained any useful information. The Shrine Maiden’s domain covers Izumo City and the surrounding area, and no one who enters ever comes out again.”

"Fortunately, Your Highness, Prince Morikawa, and Princess Hishitsuki have all arrived now."

"I am but a crude and uncouth warrior with little intelligence. As for the strange events in Izumo, it is entirely up to Your Highness to handle them."

A crude and vulgar martial artist?

Morikawa Yu glanced at the Crow Feather God Lord subconsciously.

Although the Crow Feather Goddess claims to be a "rough warrior," she looks exactly like a tall, slender, long-haired beauty with straight black hair, a gentle older sister like a "Yamato Nadeshiko," and doesn't look like a warrior at all.

Of course, judging from what she just said, she probably is really belligerent.

Mizuko: "You said you'd let me handle it, but I don't have any clue either, so I'm going to let my dear handle this matter. My friend and I will protect him and help him out."

"Your Highness, do you mean we should all listen to Prince Morikawa?" Lord Raven frowned slightly.

Although her frown wasn't very obvious, Morikawa Yu still noticed it.

"Of course, it's not that I don't trust Prince Morikawa. I just feel that Prince Morikawa is, after all, human and probably not very old. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to entrust such an important matter to him?"

"What's inappropriate?" Mizuko smiled slightly and hugged Morikawa Yu's left arm.

She had grown tired of the oppressive feeling of being sealed away, and the Inari God's carelessness gave her an opportunity to destroy the one-tailed clone she had given Him. Subsequently, Morikawa Yu discovered her true identity through Asaka's and the Inari God's unusual behavior, and together they dealt with the Inari God.

Later, Morikawa Yu also came to Kyoto when she needed him most, helping her to quell the chaos in Kyoto and suppress Qingluo.

She genuinely believed that Morikawa Yu could handle this situation just like before.

"Since Your Highness has said so, then I will trust Your Highness's judgment." Lord Raven Feather nodded slightly.

“It’s not about believing me, it’s about believing in my dear~” Mitsuko whispered.

But she also knew that this was the first time that Raven Feather God had met Morikawa Yu, and even though she had heard about what Morikawa Yu had done in the past, she didn't really feel it.

Even if Crow Feather respects Morikawa Yu, it's only because Morikawa Yu "inherited" Ryoko's position, received the supreme god's inheritance and divine power, and because of her relationship with Morikawa Yu, not because she respects Morikawa Yu as a person.

Only by letting Yayu witness Morikawa Yu's abilities can Yayu gain her trust in Morikawa Yu as much as she does.

Mitsuko thought for a moment and then said, "By the way, what about the Matsue Shrine Maiden whom the Princess rescued from the Matsue region of Izumo? My dear and I have some questions we want to ask her."

Crow Feather Shrine Master: "The Mizuki Rin Shrine Master that Princess Hime sent is in the side hall of the main shrine."

“When she was brought here the day before yesterday, she was unconscious. I personally took care of her by her side, and she only woke up this morning.”

"If Your Highness wishes to ask her some questions, we can go over now."

Chapter 504 Times have changed

Morikawa Yu: "Then let's go there now."

He took the hands of Hiizuki and Mitsuko.

"Yes." Lord Raven Feather nodded.

She turned to the tengu priestess beside her, looking at the shoulder of one of the white-haired tengu girls: "Komachi, take us to the side hall."

The white-haired tengu girl whose name was called immediately turned around and walked towards the path on one side of the worship hall, making a "please" gesture: "Your Highnesses, Lord Karasu, please come this way."

She turned and led the way.

Morikawa Yu, Mitsuko, Hiizuki, and Karasu no Kami followed her.

Daitamaru, Asaka, and Shinkaku were at the very back.

The shrine maiden, Crow Feather, walked beside her and said, "It was probably the day before yesterday when the changes in Izumo intensified. I ordered the priestess to go to Yasuki City to help Chiyomi check the situation on the Izumo border. She happened to run into Princess Hime, who was returning from the center of the Izumo region."

"Princess Hime rescued Matsue Shrine Maiden Mizuki Rin from SJ City, which is next to Izumo City."

"Upon learning of my situation, she had Miss Mizuki Rin sent to me, hoping that I would take care of her and protect her."

"So I've been watching over her these past two days, and she only woke up this morning."

Before they could finish speaking, the group had arrived at the side hall behind the main hall.

Like the main hall in front, the main hall and side halls of Karasu Shrine are decorated in a black and white color scheme, with patterns of birds flying through the air carved on the wooden pillars in front of the halls.

The shaman stopped and said to the white-haired tengu girl, "Go in first and tell the shaman Mizuki Rin that our Kansai shaman, Princess Mitsuko, the Tokyo shaman, Princess Morikawa Yu, and the Hokuriku Shindai no Yokai, Princess Higetsu, have come to ask her some questions."

"Yes." The white-haired tengu girl immediately quickened her pace and entered the side hall.

She knocked on the door from inside.

Time passed slowly, but no one opened the door.

The white-haired tengu girl frowned slightly and couldn't help but call out softly, "Sister Hatoha, Sister Inuzoku, it's me. His Highness and the others are here. Please open the door."

There was still no movement behind the door.

The white-haired tengu girl sensed something was wrong and pushed the door open forcefully.

Behind the door, there was no one. At the far end of the hall, the tatami mat was empty, with nothing on it except for two figures lying on the ground beside it.

The white-haired tengu girl stared blankly at the two figures lying on the ground, her pupils shrinking.

She placed her hand on the divine sword at her waist, white wings unfurled behind her, and a faint white divine light emanated from her body.

At the entrance of the side hall, Lord Raven Feather and Morikawa Yu exchanged a glance.

Mitsuko frowned slightly.

Feiyue's gaze also turned to the side hall.

They all noticed the power fluctuations within the side hall.

Before Mitsuko could speak, the Crow Feather God Lord strode into the side hall.

She immediately spotted the white-haired tengu girl standing guard with a knife and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

The white-haired tengu girl immediately turned to her and said, "Lady Karasuha, Lady Mizuki Rin is missing, and Sister Hatoha and Sister Inuzomi seem to have been knocked unconscious as well."

The Lord of Raven Feathers frowned.

She strode towards the tatami mat, looked at the empty bed, then turned her gaze to the two tengu girls lying on the floor. She bent down and touched the middle of the wings behind them, a faint golden divine light emanating from her hand: "It's alright, their demonic power is functioning normally, they should wake up soon."

Morikawa Yu, Mitsuko, and Hisuki also came in.

Morikawa Yu looked at the two Tengu girls who had fainted on the floor, and at the Crow Feather God Lord who was talking to the white-haired Tengu girl: "What happened? What's going on?"

The shaman turned his gaze to Morikawa Yu, then looked at the empty tatami bed: "Miss Mizuki Rin is missing."

"My priestess was also knocked unconscious."

"Gone?" Morikawa Yu was stunned for a moment.

He turned his gaze to the white-haired tengu girl beside him, then looked at the Raven Feather God: "When did you leave?"

Raven Feather God: "About three or four minutes ago."

She didn't look well.

She had originally planned to bring Morikawa Yu and Mitsuko to see Mizuki Rin, but when they arrived at the side hall, Mizuki Rin had disappeared, and the two tengu priestesses who were taking care of Mizuki Rin were also knocked unconscious.

Moreover, this happened inside her shrine, which made her feel a little strange.

She looked at the white-haired tengu girl: "A little over an hour ago, Komachi received a call from the airport."

"They said on the phone that you had arrived at the airport, so I had Komachi and the others prepare to welcome you at the shrine."

"Then, more than an hour later, you arrived. I had Zhen and the other two guard Miss Shuiyue Lin while I went to the front of the hall to greet you. But in the short time it took to go out to greet you..."

Shakuhachi shook his head and frowned as he looked at the tatami mats not far away.

Morikawa Yu also frowned.

Three or four minutes later, when they were almost there, Lord Ravenfeather finally went out.

Moreover, the time difference was very short.

As a result, within such a short period of time, this Matsue Shinto priest named Mizuki Rin disappeared.

Could it be that someone knew he and Feiyue were coming to see her, and then, fearing they might find something out of her, took her away?

The reason they acted before the Raven Feather God Lord left was because the Raven Feather God Lord was too powerful for the opponent to defeat.

But how did they manage to do that in such a short time?

Morikawa Yu looked up, glanced at the beams of the side hall, and then looked around.

The side hall was large, but it only had one opening, the main door, and the windows were tightly closed, making it a typical enclosed room.

How many types of crimes committed in locked rooms are there...?

He thought for a moment.

Beside her, Mitsuko tugged at Hiizuki's kimono sleeve.

"Scarlet Moon, I remember you have an ability to see things that happened in the past, right?"

"Use your powers to see what just happened here."

Hiizuki was looking at Morikawa Yu's profile.

Upon hearing Mitsuko's words, she realized what she meant and looked at Mitsuko: "I have already given the power you mentioned to my husband."

"Let your husband see it."

Mizuko immediately looked at Morikawa Yu: "Darling~ What about the power that Hiigetsu gave you? Quickly look here and see what just happened."

Morikawa Yu also overheard Mitsuko and Hiizuki's conversation.

He also thought of the power that Scarlet Moon had given him, which allowed him to glimpse the past. He coughed lightly, put away his reasoning, and walked towards the tatami bed not far from the Raven Feather God.

According to the Lord of Raven Feather, the Lord of Water Moon Rin had just woken up this morning and was resting in the side hall.

The tatami bed did indeed look like someone had just rested; the blankets were spread out, with only a corner lifted, and upon closer inspection, one could smell a faint, almost imperceptible cherry blossom scent.

Morikawa Yu leaned down, placed her hand on the edge of the tatami bed, and activated her powers.

Soon, the power was activated.

The scene before his eyes changed rapidly; time rewound to three minutes earlier.

He stood up and looked around.

Chapter 505 Cherry Blossoms and Cranes

Not far from him stood two Tengu priestesses, who appeared to be the two Tengu girls who had fallen unconscious on the ground. They were still conscious and were standing in the side hall, talking in hushed tones.

The side hall door slowly closed, and through the crack in the door, one could see the backs of the shrine maiden Karasu and the tengu priestess named Komachi beside her.

He turned around again and looked down at the tatami bed.

On the bed lay a girl who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, wrapped in a blanket and sitting on her side.

The girl was very beautiful, and even though his taste had been spoiled by Hiizuki and Mitsuko, he was still somewhat amazed by her.

The main thing is that the girl has a great temperament. At first glance, she is very eye-catching. Her smooth and beautiful long black hair is draped over her shoulders and falls down her shoulders. Her bright face is like a blooming cherry blossom.

Morikawa Yu came up with this analogy.

But it wasn't really what he thought of, but rather what he saw.

Above the girl's head were faint golden words: "Water Moon Cherry Blossom".

He remembered that the girl's name was Mizuki Rin, and her identity was the former shrine maiden, the head priestess of the Matsue region. She was very popular with the former shrine maiden and was also known as the "Cherry Blossom Shrine Maiden".
