I'm having fun in Tokyo

“There’s no need to worry too much,” Mitsuko said softly.

She flew closer to Morikawa Yu, took his arm, and smiled with narrowed eyes.

"If the priestess were there too, we could find her and ask her what she's trying to do."

“Feiyue and I are both here. She is no match for us alone. As long as we don’t make too much of a fuss, the other gods and monsters won’t interfere with her affairs.”

"Okay." Morikawa Yu nodded.

He and Feiyue came to the border of Izumo because of the anomaly in Izumo. However, before they could figure out the cause of the anomaly, they discovered that the previous priestess who had died three years ago and completed the inheritance of the highest god was still alive.

Furthermore, the current shrine maiden Hanamiyuki and the shikigami Maizuru are doing various things on her orders.

The source of the Izumo incident is very likely her, the former priestess.

If the priestess is also in the Oki Islands, then we can indeed find her directly and ask her about the reason for the anomaly in Izumo.

The fear is that the priestess isn't the only one there.

Sen Chuanyu thought to himself, glancing at the Great Jade Ball flying not far away, staring at its figure.

Not long ago, the mistress of Daitamaru, Hime-no-Miko, gave Kannazuki Chiko some hints, asking her to tell him about her and Hizuki's affairs on Kijima Island.

As a result, he fell into Hanamiyuki's trap shortly after arriving on Uki Island, fought with the divine puppet, and was pulled into the realm of the Age of Gods, where he encountered Ooru-no-kami and Hanamiyuki's white jade divine puppet.

Although Ootamaru said that the shrine maiden would never cause him trouble or harm him, who knows if that's true or not? Especially since Ootamaru himself is the kind of person who becomes carefree when he's happy, so his credibility is questionable.

Let's be a little more careful.

Morikawa Yu stopped looking at Otamaru and turned to look at the horizon in front of her.

The afternoon sun shone on the sea, gilding the waves with gold, creating a shimmering spectacle. He soared far above the sea level, and looking ahead, the outline of an island could already be faintly seen...

......

On the Oki Islands, approach to the Suiwako Shrine.

Hai Ruo and Hanami Yuki each carried one of Maiko's arms as they landed in front of the approach to the shrine and walked towards it.

Wuhe stretched her arms, yawning and sighing.

She is a high-ranking great demon, and an extremely powerful one at that. She can fly on her own and has an incredibly strong physique.

However, her demonic power was restricted by Scarlet Moon.

Feiyue's rank was far higher than hers, and the demonic power restriction she casually placed almost completely silenced Feiyue's demonic power, making it difficult for her to use.

She used up almost all of her remaining demonic power to fly from Oki Island to the coast of the Oki Islands, then collapsed onto the beach, arriving in a disheveled state before Hanamiyuki and Hairuo.

She had just been carried to the shrine's approach by Hanamiyuki and Hairuo, and now she felt a little uncomfortable in her arm.

After stretching, Wuhe grabbed one of Hanamiyuki's arms and shook it repeatedly: "Yuki-chan, let's go see Master quickly. I need Master to help me remove the restriction on my demonic power."

If you didn't notice the difference in their figures, you'd think the one acting cute was the younger sister, and Hanamiyuki was the older sister.

Hanami Yuki felt the soft waves squeezing her arm, frowned, and could barely maintain her indifferent expression, a hint of regret appearing in her eyes.

She pushed Wuhe's face away: "If you want to go, then go. Master is probably resting in this hall right now. It won't hurt to run faster."

Wuhe's expression froze: "It's nothing, but I didn't bring Rin back. Master trusted me and that's why she entrusted this matter to me, but I messed it up and ended up in such a sorry state. She'll definitely be unhappy."

Hanami Yuki: "It's alright. I didn't get the Morikawa Power Shadow either, so I can't condense my own Power Domain. Even if Master is angry, he'll blame me first."

"you do not need to worry."

Wuhe pouted: "You always say that, and every time the master doesn't have the heart to blame you. He just takes it out on me."

Hai Ruo couldn't help but laugh: "Ha, you idiot Wu He, you always call me an idiot, but you're the idiot yourself. Rin is recuperating at the shrine of the Crow Feather God on the other side, and you can't even bring her back."

“No way?” Maizuru frowned. “I was discovered by that Morikawa. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have been exposed.”

"I really want to bring Rin back too."

"It's all that Morikawa's fault, that lecherous and perverted bastard."

"By the way, I feel that the way he sees through my illusion is a bit strange. As long as I appear in his line of sight, he can definitely find me."

"Could that be a kind of eye technique?"

"Will I be fine as long as I avoid his sight?"

"Hmm... next time I meet him, I might as well transform into a strand of his hair and hide it in the hood of his trench coat."

Upon hearing this, Hai Ruo looked at her with an expression as if she were an idiot: "I've already said you're stupid. Since you could get close to his back, why didn't you use your sleeping potion to knock him out? Why go through all that trouble to hide in his trench coat hood?"

"If you drug him, you can just bring him back, right?"

"That's right." Wuhe suddenly realized.

The three of them talked as they walked toward the torii gate at the end of the approach.

A shrine maiden is walking out of the worship hall plaza, passing the torii gate, and preparing to walk down the approach path.

Upon seeing the three of them, the shrine maiden paused for a moment: "Lady Hai Ruo, you're back? I was just about to come to you with something."

Hai Ruo paused for a moment: "What is it?"

"Princess Kamori and Lord Kashima have arrived." The shrine maiden glanced at the worship plaza behind her. "Not long after you left, Princess Kamori and Lord Kashima came to the shrine, saying they wanted to see Princess Shinshu and Princess Hanami."

"His Highness the God asked me to call you back."

Hanami Yuki frowned slightly: "Lady Kamori is here? Grandpa Kashima is here too?"

The "Lord Kamori" mentioned by the shrine maiden is Orihime, the yokai goddess of the Izumo region, and also the protector of the yokai of the Izumo region.

For some unknown reason, this great yokai from the Age of Gods, who had never liked humans, treated her very well, caring for her almost as much as her teacher, the priestess, and granting her many precious powers.

The "Lord Kashima" mentioned by the shrine maiden is a demon who follows Masako Kanori. He is very skilled in swordsmanship and is known as the "Demon God of Swords" in Izumo and Kyushu.

Although the Age of Gods has ended and divinity has become a burden, this demon named Kashima has not weakened but has become extremely powerful, just like the chief priest of Karasuha Shrine, a strong demon.

She was always curious, but didn't know why.

Chapter 580 Sword Demon God

The shrine maiden nodded: "Yes, Your Highness."

"Now, Princess Shenzhi will go to see the Lord of the Divine Palace, and Lord Kashima will guard the palace."

Hai Ruo waved her hand: "I understand, we'll go there now."

"Yes." The shrine maiden nodded.

She stepped aside to let Hai Ruo, Hua Jianxue, and Wu He pass by.

As Hai Ruo walked past her, she suddenly remembered that her fishing rod and the fish she had caught were all by the sea.

She patted the shrine maiden on the shoulder: "By the way, Sanae, I have something to tell you."

"I just ran into Your Highness and Maizuru while fishing at the beach. We came back together. The fishing gear and fish are still on the beach, in the usual place. Go and get them for me."

"Let's have a grilled fish feast tonight."

The shrine maiden said, "Yes, I understand. Lady Hai Ruo, I'll go right now."

She turned and walked down the approach path.

Hai Ruo turned her head and grabbed Wu He's hand: "Come on, Wu He, let's go see Her Highness the God. I haven't seen her for a while and I miss her."

"Heh." Wu He rolled her eyes at her. "Missing her?"

"You don't actually miss her! You just want to see me get lectured by the master! You have no conscience!"

Hai Ruo: "Hmph, who told you to always mock me before?"

"It's now a matter of tit for tat."

"Let's go, let's go."

She dragged the dancing crane and walked quickly toward the main hall.

Hanami Yuki stared at the two arguing in silence.

She stood in the plaza in front of the main hall, her gaze sweeping over the approach path and the hillside on the island, before turning to look in the direction from which the dancing cranes flew across the coast.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt a faint pressure coming from there. However, when she looked into the distance, she could only see clouds drifting by on the sea.

Because we were at sea, the clouds looked very low.

She was also high up in the Oki Islands, where white clouds drifted slowly across the sky, seemingly within reach.

If someone approaches the islands under the cover of clouds, they will only be discovered when they get very close, which is very unsafe.

Never mind, I should go see the teacher first.

Even if enemies come, the teachers will be there.

I'll tell the teacher about my concerns later and see if the teacher has any solutions.

Hanamiyuki turned around, quickened her pace, and caught up with Maizuru and Hairuo, who were bickering and arguing, walking beside them.

Soon, the three walked along the road next to the main hall and arrived at the square in front of the main hall.

People were already waiting in the plaza of the main hall.

It was a rather burly demonic giant, almost as tall as the main hall of the Mizuwakazu Shrine, dressed in a wide, blue-white kimono. The power of the demons swirled around its massive body, and flashes of lightning could be faintly seen behind it.

In its hand was a very long katana.

This greatsword has a wider blade than a typical katana, and its length is even more exaggerated, with the blade alone being over two meters long. Including the hilt, it is nearly three meters long, giving it a powerful and imposing presence compared to ordinary longswords and katanas.

Normally, such a large katana would be difficult for an ordinary person to wield.

However, its size was exceptionally large, which perfectly matched the great sword, and the blade of the great sword was also covered with leaping bluish-white lightning.

The gray-haired, demonic giant, leaning on his long sword, stood before the gate of this hall.

Upon discovering Hua Jianxue, Hai Ruo, and Wu He, it opened its eyes, its silver-gray pupils turning as it looked at them. They resembled humans, yet were different; a smile appeared on its rugged, blue face.

"Miss Hanami, Miss Maizuru, Lord Hai Ruo, it's been a long time."

Hanami Yuki also spoke up, "Grandpa Kashima."

"How did you come?"

The giant, known as the Demon God of Kashima, smiled and said, "I have come to protect Miss Hanami on the orders of Lady Kamori."

It leaned down to look at Hanamiyuki, noticing that Hanamiyuki's face was a little pale, and couldn't help but frown: "Miss Hanamiyuki, I just heard Lady Shenzhi and Lady Shuiyue talking about you."

"You went to Inaba, intending to use the divine power of Oki Island and the Inaba Shrine Master to allow the Morikawa Shrine Master to enter the realm of history, obtain a shadow of his power, and create your own realm. What was the result?"

Hanamiyuki remained silent for a moment.

She whispered, "I lost."

Although she wanted to pretend to be indifferent, she couldn't bring herself to smile in front of the elder she trusted.

Hai Ruo was speechless.

Both she and the others could tell that Hanamiyuki was not in a good mood, so they avoided the topic.

Kashima actually asked the question directly.

However, she also knew that this was due to Kashima's personality.

Kashima himself was a rough-around-the-edges demon, and after practicing human swordsmanship, his temper became even more straightforward. He spoke his mind directly and did not know how to be tactful.

Besides that, it is indeed a very reliable elder. Whenever there is something that needs its help, it will do its best to assist. When facing Hanamiyuki, it also treats her with the same affection as a granddaughter.

Kashima loosened his grip on the sword hilt and scratched his head: "Did I lose?"

"It's alright. At least you've met that Morikawa Sword Saint. What are your thoughts on him?"

Hanami Yuki paused for a moment, looked up at Kashima, not expecting Kashima to continue asking questions.

Her expression turned somewhat grim as she recalled what Morikawa Yu had done when he executed her.

"He... he did indeed become a sword saint. His swordsmanship was very strong. He not only crossed the final threshold, but he was also very decisive and acted very swiftly. He didn't give me a moment to hesitate during the battle. He was also very good at controlling the rhythm of the battle. In the end, he made me follow his rhythm, killed my puppet, and then shattered my consciousness projection."

Kashima pondered upon hearing this, gripping his greatsword, and said gently, "Buru, did you hear that? Hanami has a very high opinion of that child."

The greatsword in its hand trembled, and blue lightning crackled, producing a clear ringing sound.

"Haha, are you fired up, Bru?" Kashima laughed, looking even happier than when he saw Hanami Yuki. "I also think he's a good kid."

"But he's still a bit inferior to Chaoxiao."
