I'm having fun in Tokyo

She no longer has the power or obligation to govern the Inaba region and is no longer required to handle affairs.

Even if she went to the beach to enjoy the breeze and sun while the shrine maidens were looking after the Inaba Hakuto Shrine, that was her own business and not a dereliction of duty.

But Mitsuko was, after all, the lord of the Kansai region, and also the supreme deity to whom these local shrines depended.

These places all belong to the Kansai region.

When Mitsuko arrives, she should be prepared to welcome her.

However, since Mitsuko did not inform her when she came, she could not be considered impolite or offensive; it was merely a breach of etiquette in front of the Emperor.

If Mitsuko were to punish her, it would probably just be a casual remark, telling her to be more careful next time.

She could accept being criticized.

“It’s alright.” Mitsuko shook her head slightly: “Inaba has already merged with Hōki to become Tottori. You, the Emperor, have no obligation to govern Inaba or handle Inaba’s affairs. As long as you don’t cause trouble everywhere, you can do whatever you want.”

"I'm just a little disappointed."

“Back then, when your mother entrusted you with divine power and the position of head priest of Inaba Shrine, I thought you would become a respected priest like her. After all, you inherited all her power and status, and she nurtured you with such care.”

"If only you could be like her."

Mitsuko sighed softly.

She stepped forward and gently touched the top of Inaba Tenshi's head, stroking her long, fluffy, pinkish-white hair.

“If you ever understand what your mother said and want to reclaim the power to govern Inaba, I can take it back from Karasuha at any time and return it to you. You will still be the lord of Inaba.”

"As long as you figure it out, that's fine."

“Yes, Princess Mitsuko.” Princess Inaba nodded obediently, “I understand.”

Nearby, Morikawa Yu finally noticed something was wrong.

He had sensed that Tenshi Inaba's attitude was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

Now he finally realized what was wrong with Tenshi Inaba.

Inaba Tenshi was too obedient.

This kind of "obedience" isn't the kind of obedience that means "well-behaved and obedient," but rather the kind of obedience that means "you can say whatever you want, I'll admit defeat if I can listen to you."

Right above her head, her sentiment, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication," shone faintly, clearly indicating that she hadn't taken the big fox's words to heart at all, but had only let them pass through her ears.

Looking at her, Morikawa Yu couldn't help but think of him from his past life.

When he was a student, he also had the experience of being cared for and reprimanded by his teachers, but at that time he was in a rebellious state and it was difficult for him to listen to what others said. Even if he did listen, he would only "listen" and then still do things his own way afterward.

Of course, he is no longer being lectured or instructed by others.

His official identity is the head priest of Tokyo, and also the highest priest of the Kanto region. Although he does not have the power and status of the highest priest, he can exercise the power of the highest priest.

No one will come to condescendingly "instruct" him on what to do.

He himself possesses the swordsmanship skills of a sword saint, and is also the husband of Scarlet Moon and Great Fox.

In addition to his sword saint-level martial prowess and physique, the first blood of the Crimson Moon also gave him the aura and physical enhancement of a top-tier great demon.

After he finishes absorbing the crimson moon's initial blood, he will also "eat" the great fox and absorb its initial blood. His physical enhancement might even grow to the level of a ghost or god, and his physical strength would reach an even higher level.

After all, the physical strength of the Sword Saint and the physical strength of the Ghost God are similar, but their characteristics are different. When the two are combined, there will even be an effect of "one plus one equals three".

But the Inaba Tenshi was different.

She is the head priestess of the Inaba Hakuto Shrine, and previously also bore the responsibility of managing the secrets of the Inaba region, obeying the orders of the Great Fox, the lord of Kansai.

She needs to listen to the big fox, but she doesn't want to.

She prefers to be lazy, enjoying the breeze and sunshine, and doesn't want to take responsibility.

Therefore, she was very upset. Considering her strength as an "Inaba Oni-jin" and her status as a local shrine master, she was like an office worker in her previous life, wanting an easy life but forced to work hard.

So she chose to "lie flat".

You have your work requirements, and I want to enjoy my life.

I no longer want the power to govern the Inaba region. Let Inaba and Hakugi become Tottori, and let the Karasu Shrine and other local shrines fight amongst themselves. I just want to relax on the beach in the quiet afternoon, enjoying the breeze and sunshine.

I'm so envious... oh no, I'm really annoyed.

He was supposed to be urged by Ryoko and the big fox to inherit the position of Tokyo shrine and handle Tokyo's affairs.

However, he's doing quite well now, so he has nothing to complain about.

Morikawa Yu looked at Inaba Tenshi with sympathy.

Inaba Tenshi noticed his gaze, and the cute, fluffy rabbit ears on her head twitched slightly.

But Mitsuko was right in front of her, and she didn't say anything.

Beside her, Asaka tugged at Morikawa Hagoromo's sleeve: "Human, didn't you come to see the Emperor with something to say? Speak up."

Upon hearing this, Morikawa Yu realized what was happening.

Chapter 519 The Fragrance of Medicine and Body Fragrance

“Ah, right.” He walked towards Tenshi Inaba, came to Mitsuko’s side, and looked at her.

"Miss Tianzi".

"We heard from Miss Mizuki Rin, the head priestess of Matsue Shrine, that the shrine maiden visited you some time ago, is that true?"

Inaba Tenshi paused for a moment, then thought about it.

"Ah...yes, the priestess did come."

"It seems like it was... eight or nine days ago? Or maybe half a month ago. Time flies by so fast, I can't remember."

Morikawa Yu frowned: "Then could you please recall whether the person who came here was the former priestess, Mizuki, or the current priestess, Hanamiyuki?"

“Of course it’s Princess Hanamiyuki.” Inaba Tenshi looked at him strangely: “Didn’t Princess Suigetsu pass on the position of shrine master to Princess Hanamiyuki a few years ago and then pass away?”

"Although I don't pay much attention to outside news, I still know about things that everyone knows."

"Speaking of which, what exactly happened to that priestess? When she came, I hadn't yet received the message from Princess Mitsuko that you wanted us to investigate the border of Shakumo."

"What's up with her?"

Morikawa Yu, Mitsuko, and Hiizuki exchanged glances.

Tenshi Inaba may not know about the previous priestess, Suigetsu, but he and Mitsuko learned the truth about the position of the head priestess of Izumo from Suigetsu Rin and Maizuru.

The previous priestess only faked her death; the current priestess, Hanamiyuki, is merely a cover for her.

Then the shrine maiden came to Inaba Tenshi and took something away. But Morikawa Yu couldn't understand why it was the current head priest, Hanami Yuki, who came to Inaba Tenshi.

Could it be that she is using Hua Jianxue's identity as a cover for herself?

Furthermore, Morikawa Yu still doesn't know what the current priestess looks like, or why the previous priestess used her as a cover for her identity.

Morikawa Yu continued, "Miss Tenshi, Miss Mizuki Rin said that the Shrine Maiden took something from you."

What did she take from you?

Inaba Tenshi was taken aback: "Huh? She took something from me? How come I didn't know?"

Morikawa Yu frowned.

He looked at Xinjue next to Feiyue.

Shin-kaku nodded, indicating that what Tenshi Inaba said was true.

In other words, Tenshi Inaba truly had no idea what the current priestess had taken from her.

Morikawa Yu looked at Mitsuko: "I'd like to contact Ms. Mizuki Rin."

Mitsuko: "Then let's contact them. Darling, you don't need to ask me for permission for this kind of thing. I won't get jealous over something this important, and neither will you, Hishitsuki, right?"

Feiyue frowned.

Morikawa Yu said helplessly, "It's not about whether you're jealous or not, it's that I don't have her phone number and I can't find her using the Goshuincho."

Mizuki Rin is the shrine maiden of the previous generation of priestess.

His Goshuincho (temple book) can only contact Yoshiko, the local shrine lords of various places in the Kanto region, the heads of various families, the yokai and humans whose names have been recorded in the Goshuincho, and the highest shrine lords of other regions. He cannot contact the shrine maidens of the other parties.

"Big Fox, could you help me find that Raven Feather God and have her contact Miss Shuiyue Lin? We want to ask her some questions."

Hearing what Morikawa Yu said, Hiizuki's expression improved considerably.

Mizuko raised an eyebrow: "Okay, I thought you were worried that my dear and I would be jealous and that things might go wrong, so you asked us specifically."

Her fox tail swayed behind her as she raised her hand to summon her imperial seal curtain.

The pages of the Imperial Seal Book moved automatically without wind, stopping on one page where a light shone.

Soon, the light flickered, and a somewhat puzzled voice rang out from within: "Princess Mitsuko? Is there something urgent that requires you to contact me using the Imperial Vermilion Seal?"

Mitsuko: "There are some things we want to ask Mizuki Rin, whether she's with you or not."

Raven Feather God: "Miss Rin is right next to me, she's sitting right next to me. Isn't it noon now? I had the priestess prepare a banquet and invited her to eat."

"A banquet?" Yujinzi frowned, unable to help but raise her voice: "Karayu, what nonsense are you talking about? She's human, not a tengu. She can't drink your tengu's strong liquor. Besides, she's still recuperating. If you make something happen to her, see how I deal with you!"

Lord Raven Feather: "She didn't drink. I just offered her a drink, but she said she couldn't drink. I could tell she'd never drunk alcohol before, so I didn't force her."

“That’s more like it.” Mitsuko breathed a sigh of relief: “Give her your Goshuincho and let her communicate with her using her divine power. We have some questions for her.”

“Okay,” replied the Lord of Raven Feathers.

Soon, Mizuki Rin's voice came from Mitsuko's shokuin-cho (temple).

"Princess Mitsuko, Princess Morikawa, I'm sitting right next to Miss Karasuha. Is there anything you need to ask me? Is it about Her Highness's visit to the Inaba Hakuto Shrine?"

“Yes.” Morikawa Yu approached Mitsuko, took her hand, and used his divine power to communicate with her goshuincho: “We have arrived at the Inaba Hakuto Shrine and found Lady Tenshi, but Lady Tenshi does not know what your lord took from her.”

"And it wasn't your Highness who came to the White Rabbit Shrine, but Miss Hanamiyuki."

Inaba Tenshi stared blankly at Morikawa Yu: "What 'your lord'? What Hanamiyuki-san? Are you talking to Matsue's priestess Mizuki Rin? Isn't her lord Hanamiyuki?"

Morikawa Yu glanced at her, thought for a moment, and told her about the previous priestess. Under Inaba Tenshi's incredulous gaze, he continued to ask Mizuki Rin, "Did you hear from your lord that she came to take something?"

Mizuki Rin: "I don't know. Her Highness didn't tell me what she wanted to take from the White Rabbit Shrine. She only said that she needed something from the White Rabbit Shrine as a 'medium,' but she didn't say what that medium was."

“A medium…?” Morikawa Yu thought for a moment, lost in thought.

Although Mizuki Rin didn't know what this thing was, as long as she knew it was an item that could be used as a "medium," it would be easier to find.

"Thank you, Miss Mizuki Rin."

"No need to call me Miss Mizuki Rin, Your Highness Morikawa. Thank you and Princess Mitsuko for taking the trouble for my Highness. You can just call me Rin."

"It's a soft voice," Mizuki Rin said.

Upon hearing her words, Morikawa Yu subconsciously glanced at Mitsuko, Hisuki, and Asaka beside her.

In Japanese, calling someone by their first name is something that only people who are very close to each other do.

Mizuki Rin must have been genuinely grateful to him and Mitsuko for saying that.

Mitsuko glanced at Morikawa Yu, but didn't seem to mind too much, and casually said, "Then we'll just call you Rin."

"Everything is fine now, please continue with your feast."

"Furthermore, no matter what excuse Yayu uses to persuade you to drink, you should not drink. You are a local shrine lord yourself, and you should know what the Tengu's wine and the Oni's wine are."

"You are, after all, human. Even if you possess great divine power, you will still need to sleep for several days after drinking it, feeling dizzy and unable to wake up."

Beside them, Morikawa Yu subconsciously glanced at Otamaru, who was following them.

He still remembered when he and Daitamaru competed in the Kui Xing Flag contest, Daitamaru brought him their Oni clan's fine wine and invited him to drink.

Moreover, after she finished drinking, she did seem a bit drunk and insisted on giving him a treat, asking him to massage her feet, which inadvertently awakened his "foot fetish."

Daitamaru's gaze drifted to one side.

Morikawa Yu kept staring at her, and she finally blushed and said shyly, "Didn't I tell you not to drink? In the end, I was the one who finished the wine."

Morikawa Yu shook her head and ignored her.

He and Otamaru didn't get along well back then, and it was normal for her to try to get him drunk by using alcohol as an underhanded tactic, since she was determined to win.

Moreover, in the end, Otamaru drank the sake himself and did not actually use such a crooked trick. Now that he and she have cleared up the misunderstanding and become good friends, there is no need to be angry about this.

He looked at Tenshi Inaba, staring at this seemingly soft and obedient rabbit-girl loli god who actually only wanted to "lie flat".
