I'm having fun in Tokyo

Morikawa Yu: "If we're talking about the feeling of fighting, I feel that this puppet is not aggressive at all, it just keeps defending. Except for the last time when it tried to grab me, there was nothing special about it."

Hiizuki looked at Mitsuko: "You stinky fox, how do you feel?"

Mitsuko pondered upon hearing this.

She had been observing the puppet's reactions during her battle with Morikawa Yu.

Just as she had judged, this puppet lacked spirituality and intelligence, possessing only a faint divine nature, and responded to Morikawa Yu's attacks according to its divine nature.

She pondered, "I feel that this puppet is a true 'divine puppet' in the real sense. Someone used divine power, collected faith, condensed it into divinity, and created it."

"My dear, after slaying it, we discovered the divine power of the Emperor within it. The person who took away this divine power of the Emperor was the current shrine maiden of Izumo, Hanami Yuki. It is very likely that the current shrine maiden created it and left it here."

“My dear, use your powers to look at the past of this place, and see who left it here.”

Morikawa Yu nodded: "Okay."

He turned his head to look at the spot where he had just killed the divine puppet.

Ootamaru, holding her Three Bright Swords, was squatting beside the footprints that had just formed the divine puppet, deep in thought.

Morikawa Yu walked over and patted Daitamaru on the shoulder: "Daitamaru, didn't you say your master gave you a hint that there would be a great harvest here? Where is the harvest?"

Daimamaru's face froze: "Ah... this..."

"I......"

She never expected that after following Morikawa Yu here, she would encounter a divine puppet with divinity and power, instead of harvests and treasures.

Generally, when the priestess reminds her to do something with Miyu, she will gain something from it.

Upon arriving here, they gained nothing; they merely watched Morikawa Yu demonstrate his sword saint-level swordsmanship and wind aura, and then it was over.

Morikawa Yu shook her head: "It's nothing, I'm not complaining, just venting."

He walked around to the other side of the footprints, looking at the footprints and the runes and patterns next to them that had generated a divine power explosion.

The footprints had lost their luster, as if they had exhausted all their divine power, and faded into darkness, with only the surrounding patterns and runes still retaining a faint glow.

Morikawa Yu bent down and pressed his hand against one of the runes, preparing to activate his power.

Mitsuko and Hisuki also came over, with Inaba Tenshi, Asaka, and Shinkaku following behind them.

Inaba Tenshi watched Morikawa Yu's actions with curiosity: "What is Your Highness preparing to do?"

Mizuko gently stroked her hair: "He is preparing to activate his powers to search for remnants of history and recall past scenes. If he succeeds, he will be able to see what happened here."

"Then we can find out who left this idol here and figure out why the priestess took your medicinal power."

“Oh.” Inaba Tenshi nodded.

She also approached the footprints, looking at the huge footprints and Morikawa Yu's movements beside them.

This was the first time she had ever heard of such a power, and she couldn't help but wonder how Morikawa Yu would use it.

Morikawa Yu drew upon his power, activated his authority, and used it to communicate with these patterns and runes, attempting to rewind to the past and recreate the scenes that had occurred here.

Soon, the realm of power began to spread, fading into the shadows of history.

Suddenly, Morikawa Yu felt that something was not right.

He discovered that these runes had begun to glow again, and they were getting brighter as his power expanded. At the same time, these runes seemed to have generated domains, which began to merge with his domain of power.

He tried to raise his hand, but he couldn't muster any strength; his hand and the talisman he was pressing remained motionless.

Beside him, Tenshi Inaba also noticed something was wrong.

She looked at Morikawa Yu and noticed that the talisman Morikawa Yu was pressing was emitting light, which gradually engulfed Morikawa Yu's arm.

She was stunned for a moment, unsure whether this was part of Morikawa Yu's power, but seeing the equally surprised expression on Morikawa Yu's face, she felt that Morikawa Yu also didn't know the function of these lights.

This made her hesitate, unsure whether she should help Morikawa Yu lift her arm.

She hesitated for a moment.

Suddenly, she remembered Morikawa Yu's concern when he killed the divine puppet and helped her regain her divine power. Without hesitation, she activated her power, and a platinum-gold divine light appeared. She instantly arrived beside Morikawa Yu, hugged him, and tried to take him away from where he was.

However, she was unable to move Morikawa Yu's body.

The light traveled upwards along Morikawa Yu's arm, gradually engulfing his body, and together with Inaba Tenshi, disappeared in the shimmering white light.

Just as she and Morikawa Yu disappeared, crimson ripples of demonic energy and golden divine radiance swept towards the spot where the two had just stood, then barely stopped to avoid destroying the runes on the ground.

Mizuko frowned, staring at the spot where Morikawa Yu had disappeared, and then looked at the Hiyue, whose demonic power had stopped beside her.

"Hiyue, darling, did you use your powers to enter the past...?"

Feiyue shook her head, her expression slightly somber: "No, it shouldn't be."

“You saw it when my husband used his power before. Using this power to peek into the past is just seeing the past with your consciousness. You don’t need to enter the past’s afterimages yourself. And it will be over very quickly.”

"In just a moment, consciousness will return to one's body."

Mitsuko's expression turned serious: "Then where did my dear go?"

Feiyue shook her head.

She tried to sense Morikawa Yu's location and life force using the mark she left on him.

However, she sensed that Morikawa Yu was nearby and did not go anywhere else.

She used her demonic powers to search for Morikawa Yu, but could not find him.

"My husband should not be in danger, or rather... he is not in danger yet."

"But no matter what, let's find him first."

"If we really can't find him..."

Feiyue's gaze was icy as she looked at the giant footprint on the other side of the large jade ball.

Chapter 527: Is it a jinx?

Daitamaru had also tried to grab Morikawa Yu's arm, but she was much slower than Inaba Tenshi, who had activated her powers. Before she could even touch Morikawa Yu, the light had already engulfed both Morikawa Yu and Inaba Tenshi.

Feiyue: "If we can't find him, then we'll have to ask the Priestess Hime for the purpose of reminding us to come here."

"You'll lead us to her, won't you, Miss Ootamaru?"

......

On the other side, beside a rushing river, Morikawa Yu stood bent over, lost in thought.

Inaba Tenshi held him by the waist, still trying to drag him away from where he was, without any change in his posture.

Morikawaha turned his head to look at Emperor Inaba.

She hugged his waist, very close to him, and the girl's fragrance and soft skin were very noticeable.

Tenshi Inaba also noticed the changes around him.

She immediately released Morikawa Yu's waist, took two steps back, and looked around warily.

Morikawa Yu shook his head, straightened up, and looked around. He felt that the scenery around him was completely unfamiliar and was nothing like the Yuqi Island where he had just been.

Putting everything else aside, the great river in front of him alone ruled out the possibility that he was on Yuqi Island, or even near the coast.

There is no such large river near Uki Island and Shirato Coast, and the road along the river is not a cement or asphalt road, but a purely natural dirt road.

It looks like a dirt road in the countryside that is not well developed and has never been visited by anyone.

But this river doesn't seem like the kind of little river that few people know about. The dirt road next to it, though primitive, doesn't seem like a path that few people use either; on the contrary, it's quite wide.

What exactly is this place?

Morikawa Yu frowned as she looked at the river in front of her.

He shook his head and began to recall what he had just done.

He received a reminder from the priestess and then followed the rabbit-eared priestess to Uki Island. On Uki Island, he discovered a divine doll that appeared to have been left behind by the priestess. He killed the doll and found the medicinal power that the priestess had taken from Tenshi Inaba.

Immediately afterwards, he wanted to use his power to see the past scene of the divine doll's footprints and the surrounding talismans that had condensed in the center of the island. He then used his power to observe the talismans, and as a result, the talismans emitted light, and he and Tenshi Inaba arrived there.

Oh, right, power.

Morikawa Yu thought of his ability to peek into the past.

He remembered that when he used his power just now, and those patterns and runes emitted light, he had a feeling that his power was merging with something strange.

Will there be any problems with the power?

Morikawa Yu glanced around, then bent down and pressed his hand against the ground by the river, attempting to activate his powers to rewind time and recall what had happened along this riverbank in the past.

Soon, the power was activated, time reversed, and all the past scenes reappeared.

He saw animals drinking water and people hurrying by on the roadside by the river. However, the people's clothes looked a bit strange, like the clothes worn by people from the Nara and Heian periods that he and Feiyue had seen when they traveled back in time. Some of the clothes even looked more retro and were tattered.

The power remains, and can still be exercised at will.

Morikawa Yu made a judgment.

I just don't know what this place is.

His powers were likely affected, taking him to visions of the distant past, making them almost real, and making it difficult to use his powers to leave.

Morikawa Yu tried several times, but still failed.

He turned to look at Tenshi Inaba beside him.

The pink-haired bunny girl stood beside him, looking around warily.

He nudged Tenshi Inaba's arm and asked, "Do you know where this is?"

Prince Inaba snapped out of his daze, looked at him, and shook his head: "I don't know, Your Highness. I've never been to this place before..."

"Is this within your authority?"

Morikawa Yu pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "I'm not quite sure either. This should be a scene from the past that my powers have brought back, but it doesn't seem like a pure historical remnant. Instead, it feels somewhat real."

“In the normal remnants of history, I can’t touch anything physical, but when I touched the land by the river just now, I really felt the texture of soil and stones, just like real soil and stones. And then I seem to be unable to release my powers.”

Upon hearing this, Inaba Tenshi hesitated for a moment, then took two steps forward, walked to the riverbank, and bent down to touch a stone on the riverbank.

The stones felt incredibly realistic, slightly rough, and warmed up in the afternoon sun, making them feel just like real river stones. The river's moisture also felt incredibly real.

If Morikawa Yu had told her directly that it was an afterimage and a scene from the past, she wouldn't have believed it at all.

But now, after hearing his words, she began to doubt where she really was.

"How about this, Your Highness?" Inaba Tenshi looked up at Morikawa Yu: "Since you can't dispel the power, how about I try to make a prophecy, then give you some luck, and we'll try to find a way to leave?"

"Perhaps we will succeed, what do you think, Your Highness?"

"Prophecy, good fortune?" Morikawa Yu looked at Inaba Tenshi.

Suddenly, he thought of the title "Lucky Rabbit" for the Inaba Emperor, and the ancient legend about how her mother helped Ōkuninushi successfully propose to Princess Yagami of Inaba through a prophecy.

Morikawa Yu's expression turned serious: "What luck? And how are you going to make a prediction?"

This kind of thing really can't be taken lightly.

What if this bunny girl's luck is like that of the "unsinkable lucky ship" Yukikaze, where all her escorting teammates perish while she remains unharmed?

If the prophecy is something like "Director of the Strategic Deception Bureau," "The All-Powerful Old Immortal Xu Dong," or "The Reverse Poisonous Milk Guan Zeyuan," then I'd better stay away from her.

“Of course, it’s the kind of luck that makes people lucky.” Inaba Tenshi looked at Morikawa Yu strangely.

"Hasn't Your Highness heard Asaka mention me before? I inherited my mother's bloodline and possess the ability to bring good luck to others."

"If I want to, I can change a person's luck and bring them good fortune and good things."

"What's the price?" Morikawa Yu looked at her suspiciously.

He doesn't believe that good luck comes without a price.

Just like the "European sturgeon" in a game where you get three rainbows in ten pulls, their lifespans vary. Some can live for over a hundred years, while others are sent to the dinner table before they even grow up.

"The price..." Inaba Tenshi fell into deep thought: "My mother said the price is that my luck will become a little worse, but I am usually quite lucky. Even if I give luck to others, my luck will still be quite good."

"like this."

Inaba Tenshi used her demonic power to retrieve the stone she had just touched, then casually tossed it into the river.

With a splash, the stone fell into the water, creating a spray.

Morikawa Yu gave her a strange look, and suddenly noticed that after the splash subsided, a half-foot-long fish floated up from where the stone had fallen. The fish's belly was white, and it was obviously stunned by the impact.
