I'm having fun in Tokyo

Morikawa Yu was stunned: "What words?"

Xin Jue: "Just now, Master, you told Daiyuwan not to imitate my coquettish mannerisms. Master, you said you like me, not the way I act coquettishly. I'm so happy."

Morikawa Yu shook her head: "I was just teasing her casually."

Xin Jue: "This is not just something I said casually, Master! People can tell if someone is lying, so of course they can tell if Master is telling the truth."

Chapter 590 Please, darling~

"Master, do you feel embarrassed to admit this, so you're unwilling to admit it?"

"Hmph, Master's smug look is also cute."

Morikawa Yu was speechless.

But Xin Jue was right.

Morikawa Yu withdrew his thoughts and turned to stare at Daimamaru.

Daitamaru still looked at him pitifully.

"Morikawa~"

Morikawa Yu did not let go of her, but she no longer pressed the scabbard against her so tightly as before; instead, she loosened her grip on her slightly.

Since Ootamaru didn't lie, it means that Ootamaru was also treated as an "outsider" by the priestess in this matter.

The shrine maiden was merely using the Great Ball to deceive him, making him believe that she was an ally of him, Ryoko, and the Great Fox, helping them resolve the Izumo issue. In reality, the shrine maiden was an ally of the Shrine Maiden, helping her fight against them.

I just don't know what the Princess Shrine Maiden really wants, otherwise she wouldn't have helped the God Shrine Maiden.

Morikawa looked down at the shrine high in the archipelago.

In the plaza of the shrine's main hall stood the shrine maiden, the goddess Kamiori, Hanamiyuki and Maizuru, as well as a gigantic demon-like monster.

He pondered for a moment, his gaze fixed on the figure of the priestess.

The Shrine Maiden is the ruler and supreme deity of Izumo. She is powerful, though not as strong as Hiyue, but that's because Hiyue is too strong.

Judging solely from her own strength, she is indeed a supreme deity without a doubt.

He originally intended to create a storm surge around the archipelago to distract Mitsuko, but she easily calmed the storm and waves simply by releasing her divine domain.

If it weren't for Fei Yue protecting him, he might have been trapped in the domain by the goddess like Hai Ruo.

This fundamental difference in strength is too great to be overcome by belief, courage, skill, or luck; it requires power of equal caliber to defeat.

There is also the Divine Weaving.

Morikawa Yu turned her gaze to the white-haired, red-eyed girl next to the priestess.

This girl named Kamori is none other than Kamori Masako, the great yokai of the Age of Gods in Izumo. The notes of the shrine maiden Kōko record one of her powers, and he needs her help to heal Erii. However, she turns out to be an ally of the shrine maiden Suigetsu.

Based on the reactions of Hiizuki and Mitsuko just now, the other party shouldn't have acted this way, but the reality was beyond Hiizuki and the Great Fox's expectations.

The other party clearly intends to help the priestess fight them.

She is also very strong, and I feel that she is even stronger than Komitsuko from the Age of Gods.

Of course, the current Mitsuko is much stronger than the young Mitsuko of the past.

The same goes for Scarlet Moon.

They and the shrine maiden will be left to be dealt with by Hizuki and Mitsuko.

Only Hiizuki and Mitsuko can handle them.

If Ryoko were here, that would be wonderful.

Morikawa Yu suddenly remembered that Ryoko should be at the Tokyo Shrine with her sister and Emi right now.

Ryoko's strength is very close to that of Hiizuki; she is extremely powerful.

When Kyoto attacked Qingluo last time, Ryoko helped him and the Great Fox keep an eye on the Priestess Hime, and in the end they even forced the Priestess to retreat, otherwise he would have been taken away by the Priestess.

If Ryoko were here, she could hold off the shrine maiden by herself, while Hizuki could deal with the shrine maiden and the goddess by herself.

That way, Mitsuko could easily capture Hanamiyuki and the others.

Unfortunately, Ryoko has to stay at the Tokyo Shrine.

Only Mitsuko and Hiizuki can deal with the three shrine maidens. Hanami Yuki and the shrine maiden's shikigami, Maizuru, can only be captured by him, Inaba Tenshi, and Asaka.

Sen Chuanyu thought to himself, his gaze fixed on Hanami Yuki in the distance.

Hanami Yuki is a student of the shrine maiden Suigetsu. She had just ambushed him on Uki Island, dragging him into the realm of the Age of Gods. She even tried to deceive him by impersonating Susanoo with a white jade doll. However, she ultimately failed and was defeated by him and the rabbit girl. She also lost the power shadow given to her by the god Suigetsu.

Her fighting style in the realm of gods is to create giant divine puppets and use them to fight.

The Age of Gods in reality has long since ended, so she certainly can no longer create such a huge divine puppet, and it's unknown how she would fight in reality.

Morikawa Yu thought for a moment, staring at Hanami Yuki's small face, trying to judge Hanami Yuki's strength by her level status rating. However, to his surprise, there was no level rating above Hanami Yuki's head.

Could it be that Hanamiyuki's strength is not her own?

Morikawa Yu frowned.

Otherwise, Morikawa Yu wouldn't be able to find a second explanation.

Never mind, whether her power is her own or not, it won't stop him from capturing her.

There are also dancing cranes.

This is a yokai shikigami that attempted to take away the Matsue Shrine's head priest, Mizuki Rin.

He originally intended to capture her, but unexpectedly she led him and Feiyue to the place where the goddess Shuiyue was hiding.

It's a pity that the shrine maiden Mizuki was well prepared, otherwise Hiizuki and Mitsuko could have captured her directly, and even if the shrine maiden Hime had come to help her, it wouldn't have mattered.

If only this guy had run away earlier, it would have been better. He had to run away so late; he really wasn't trying hard enough.

If he were captured, he would definitely use every means to escape, and wouldn't give the enemy any way to keep an eye on him. Even if the historical figures, such as Hiizuki and Mitsuko, had captured him before, it would have been the same.

Morikawa Yu glanced away from Maizuru, no longer looking at her, and looked at the huge figure next to the main hall plaza.

It was a monster wielding a strange, large katana, and looking like a demon.

As he looked at it, the other person was also looking at him.

He turned his gaze away and looked at Mitsuko beside him.

Mitsuko smiled slightly: "Then I'll leave it to you, darling~"

"If you can catch her student and shikigami, the pressure on me and Feiyue will be much less."

Morikawa Yu: "Yeah, you and Hiizuki hold them off, while I, Tenshi, and Asaka capture Hanamiyuki and that shikigami youkai called Maizuru."

Behind Morikawa Yu, Inaba Tenshi grabbed his sleeve and telepathically asked, "Mr. Morikawa, how are we going to capture them?"

Morikawa Yu glanced at the rabbit girl, then looked at Hanamiyuki from afar.

He has already won against Hanamiyuki once.

Although this time, in addition to Hanamiyuki, they also have to deal with the shikigami youkai Maizuru of the shrine maiden, Maizuru's strength is average, only her illusion magic is relatively powerful.

Asaka is also a master of illusion, so she could be used to deal with Maizuru.

Although Xin Jue is just a harmless little maid who can't help in battle at all, there's no need for Xin Jue to help in battle anyway.

He also has the Goddess Hai Ruo and the priestess Sanae as hostages.

The Sea God Lord's strength is similar to that of Ōtamaru, making him a formidable enemy. However, due to excessive worry about the shrine maiden Sanae, he was easily captured by the Great Fox and Ōtamaru.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult to handle.

Now we don't need to worry about Lord Hai Ruo anymore.

Mizuko turned to look at Hiizuki: "Hiizuki, let's make a move and create an opportunity for our beloved."

Feiyue hummed in agreement.

Chapter 591 Settling Old scores

Her gaze fell upon the main plaza of the shrine high above the archipelago, fixed on the shrine maiden and the shrine maiden's shrine maiden beside her.

The priestess, protecting Hanamiyuki and Mairu beside her, also stared at her figure with an icy expression.

Shenzhi's gaze was also on Feiyue, occasionally glancing at Huajianxue out of the corner of her eye, but she was mostly focused on Feiyue, her demonic energy flowing slowly around her, glowing with a white light.

Hiyue glanced again at the shrine maiden on the other side of the sky above the archipelago. The shrine maiden hadn't said a word since she appeared, only looking at Morikawa Yu and Ootamaru, and finally fixing her gaze on Hiyue.

Between them, demonic power and divine power intertwined and clashed, stirring up turbulent currents and visible spatial fluctuations.

Feiyue said coldly, "You stinky fox, I'll leave her to you. I'll deal with the priestess and the divine weaver."

"Remember to send your husband out of the realm first, don't let him stay here."

Mitsuko nodded: "Mm."

Scarlet Moon turned around, channeled her demonic power, and flew directly down towards the islands below, heading towards the priestess and the goddess, leaving behind a trail of dense crimson demonic light.

The priestess waved her hand, and a golden divine power domain once again appeared around her, spreading outwards.

Just now, Himezuki unleashed her Crimson Boundary, and the entire Oki Islands and the sky above them were enveloped in it, including them.

If they were to directly engage in combat with Scarlet Moon, they would be repelled and suppressed by the Crimson Boundary during the battle, making it difficult for them to exert their power normally. Therefore, she also needs to release her own domain.

That way, during battle, her domain would offset some of the negative effects of the Crimson Boundary on her, and she could use her domain to fight against the Crimson Moon Boundary.

This is something that will inevitably happen when these supreme beings at the hidden pinnacle of power clash.

If any being of lower rank or realm is in their domain or realm, they will also be suppressed by the rules and power of their divine domain.

Within their domains and realms, the vast majority of beings are unable to move normally and can be easily dealt with by them. This is one of the reasons why the Supreme God and the Demon of the Divine Age are above all else and occupy the hidden pinnacle.

Almost no living being can remain unaffected by domains and realms.

The priestess turned to look at the goddess beside her: "Goddess, thank you for your help."

The white-haired, red-eyed great demon girl from the Age of Gods nodded, and her body also emanated a jade-white light belonging to her realm, spreading outwards. Soon, her realm's demonic power also permeated the surroundings, heading towards the crimson realm's demonic power of the crimson moon.

Everything around us was suddenly bathed in even more color.

Bright gold, crimson, jade white, and the pale gold divine power and pure gold demonic power belonging to Mitsuko in the sky and clouds intertwined, the light flowed, and even space itself was distorted and trembled, as if it would break and shatter at any moment.

The priestess remained motionless, simply hovering in the sky, gazing at Mitsuko from beyond the clouds.

Mitsuko didn't look at her, but turned around, took Morikawa Yu's hand and held it gently: "Darling, I'll see you, Tenko and Asaka out first, you wait outside for a while."

“If the priestess keeps Hanamiyuki and her shikigami Maizuru by her side, we will capture her. If she is afraid that Hanamiyuki will be accidentally injured by the aftermath of our battle and sends them away, my dear, you should capture them and then tell us through my and Hitsuki’s demonic power mark.”

"We will use them to force the priestess to stop."

Morikawa Yu nodded.

He knew what Mitsuko meant, and he understood that Mitsuko wanted him to capture Hanamiyuki.

Although Hanami Yuki is only a student of the shrine maiden, her status seems to be more than just that of a student. Just look at how the shrine maiden treats Hanami Yuki; she seems to value him even more than Ryoko did back then.

In reality, Hanamiyuki's identity was even stranger than he had imagined.

Despite lacking any real strength, Hanamiyuki possesses immense power, which not only originates from the priestess but also seems somewhat similar to that of the Izumo-era demon named Kamio.

Perhaps that divine demon helped the priestess because of Hanami Yuki.

Or perhaps the shrine maiden chose Hanamiyuki as her student and successor because of her identity, making Hanamiyuki the "shrine maiden" in name only.

If he could capture Hanamiyuki, he might actually be able to help Hiizuki and Mitsuko force the Shrine Maiden and Kamio to back down, compromise with them, and tell them the reasons for Izumo's strange events and its current situation.

"Alright then." Mitsuko chuckled.

She unleashed a divine power that spread outwards, breaking through the boundary of her demonic power with that of the Hiyue, and quickly sent Morikawa Yu, Inaba Tenshi, and Asaka out of the domain.

Morikawa Yu, Inaba Tenshi, and Asaka returned to the real world, their figures disappearing into the domain.

After doing all this, Mitsuko finally looked at the shrine maiden.

She narrowed her eyes and smiled slightly.

Although she was smiling, there was no smile in her eyes, only a chilling coldness: "Last time you caused me trouble in Kyoto, this time it's my turn to take revenge, Goddess Himeji."

After the matter in Kyoto was resolved, Mitsuko did not go back to cause trouble for the shrine maiden, but that did not mean that she had no resentment towards her.

Anyone would be furious if they discovered someone lurking nearby and trying to take away their loved one when they were at their weakest. She was no exception. She just didn't want Morikawa Yu to worry about her, and she was afraid that the conflict between her and the shrine maiden would escalate and cause unrest in the entire Kansai region. That's why she suppressed her anger and didn't go to the Ise Grand Shrine.
