I'm having fun in Tokyo

He suddenly remembered that the shrine maiden had asked Kannazuki Chiko to remind him to go to Oki Island.

Unexpectedly, she also told Shenzhi and Kashima about his situation.

Her power was indeed to foresee the future, but she couldn't reveal what would happen in the future.

"Lord Morikawa," Kashima paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I once swore an oath after Taro's death to protect Taro's descendants."

"But I am about to die."

"Therefore, I hope that you can protect Princess Hanamiyuki on my behalf."

"If Your Excellency can surpass the Sword Saint and reach a realm above the Sword Saint, then Your Excellency's lifespan will be incredibly long. Princess Hanamiyuki is merely a human, whose lifespan is at most a hundred years."

"Your Excellency only needs to protect Princess Hanamiyuki for these short hundred years; you don't need to worry about what happens after that."

"Besides this matter, there is a second matter. I hope that you can go to Mount Izumo after this matter is over and spend some time with Lady Shenzhi and take care of her."

Morikawa Yu was taken aback: "Mr. Kashima, you want me to go to the Izumo Mountains to take care of the Izumo Goddess Orihime?"

He thought what Kashima had said earlier was already outrageous, but he didn't expect that the second thing Kashima said would be even more outrageous. He actually wanted him to help take care of a great yokai from the Age of Gods, and a great yokai from the Age of Gods who had just fought with his two wives.

Kashima nodded: "That's right."

"I hope I can help take care of Lady Shenzhi."

"You may have heard of Lady Shenzhi's reputation. Although she may seem frightening, she is actually a very gentle person."

"Although I am only her nominal follower and have not done anything for her, nor have I seen her many times, I have always been under her protection in the Izumo Mountains, along with the yokai living there."

"If it weren't for her terrifying reputation and her allowing weak monsters to live in the Izumo Mountains, those monsters probably wouldn't have survived long ago."

Morikawa Yu frowned when he heard this.

He had just used his powers to see the scenery of Mount Izumo and knew that what Kashima said was true, but he still had some doubts.

After all, Kamori is a great yokai from the Age of Gods in Izumo, and his relationship with Hiizuki and Mitsuko is just so-so. He even fought with Hiizuki and the others just now. If he agrees to Kashima's request, things won't be good.

Kashima: "In short, I don't have much time left. When you see her again, please ask for my apologies."

"And I hope you can take care of her."

Morikawa Yu thought for a moment and shook her head: "I'm afraid I would find it difficult to do the things you're talking about."

“I promised my two wives that I would help them capture Hanamiyuki, and my two wives just fought with your Izumo's Kamio. If I agree to take care of her, it will make them angry and unhappy.”

"However, I can assure you."

"I will protect Hanami-san's safety and will not do anything excessive to her. I will also protect her after this matter is over, but I will not go to your Izumo Mountains."

Kashima sighed, "In that case, I won't force you."

"There's one more thing."

It suddenly pressed down on the sword in its hand, and a flash of lightning appeared on the blade.

"This sword is a divine weapon that Urabe gave to me before she passed away. You also know its name, it is called Futsu-no-Mitama. I call it Furu."

"Although you did not completely agree to my request, you did grant me one favor, which makes me very happy. Now I will present this sword to you."

Morikawa Yu was taken aback: "You gave me this divine sword?"

Kashima: "Yes."

"When Urabe passed away, she worried that leaving this divine sword at Kashima Shrine would arouse others' covetousness, and that it would be detrimental to the people of Kashima Shrine. Now, my time is running out."

“I wish to give it to you as I gave it to Urabe.”

"Of course, I am simply giving it to you."

"The divine sword has a spirit. Although it did not take form like your two beloved swords, it still has its own pride. Even I can only use it because of Bobu, and I have not gained its approval."

Whether it will acknowledge you or not depends on you.

Morikawa Yu hesitated for a moment, staring at the divine sword Futsu-no-Mitama in Kashima's hand. He saw that the sword was surrounded by terrifying lightning power and was a divine weapon that was known as one of the three spiritual swords, along with Ame-no-Habakiri and Ame-no-Kura-no-Tsurugi.

After a long silence, Morikawa Yu nodded: "Thank you."

Kashima nodded as well.

It glanced at Hanamiyuki one last time, but it seemed it wasn't really looking at Hanamiyuki, but rather using her as a metaphor to recall the face of its close friend Sakurada Ichiro from over four hundred years ago.

After a long while, the ghost shook his head and sighed softly.

It recalled the appearance of Urabe Asataka and Sakurada Ichiro in its memory, and several more cracks appeared on its body, making it even more hunched over.

Its body has completely collapsed.

Just moments ago, when it had completely integrated its divinity into its swordsmanship, its body began to disintegrate and dissipate. The only reason it has been able to hold on until now is because it has something on its mind.

Now that Morikawa Yu has promised to protect Hanami Yuki, it has slightly eased some of its worries.

Suddenly, it froze.

It looked at the divine sword Futsu-no-Mitama it was holding, and wondered if it was just its imagination, but it actually saw two faint figures beside the sword.

On the left is a white-haired girl, her hand caressing the blade of the Futsu-no-Mitama sword, as if she is greeting this divine weapon.

On the right is an old man holding a katana sheathed in his arms, shaking his head as he looks at it.

“Urabe... and Taro... you were watching me after all.”

Kashima suddenly laughed.

It bent down and reached out its hands to the girl and the old man, wanting to hold their hands.

White light gradually gathered on its body, spreading from it towards the girl and the old man before slowly dissipating.

Until the light disappeared, its body also completely dissipated, turning into countless glimmers of light and vanishing without a trace.

Only a longsword crackling with lightning remained on the spot...

Morikawa Yu's eyes were complicated.

He sighed and looked at the Futsu-no-Mitama Sword standing in the middle of the square.

Suddenly, he noticed that the divine sword had come to life.

Its sword erupted with a surge of purple-white lightning, flying straight towards him.

Chapter 624 Mastering the Power of Thunder

The divine sword has recognized its master?

When Morikawa Yu saw Futsu-no-Mitama flying towards him, he immediately had this thought.

After all, Kashima just said he would give it the Futsu-no-Mitama sword.

However, he immediately realized that Futsu-no-Mitama probably didn't want to acknowledge him as its master, but rather wanted to give him, its next master, a hard time, or rather, it didn't want to acknowledge him as its next master and wanted to rebel against him, otherwise it wouldn't have flown over in this way.

Morikawa Yu frowned, raised his hand to stir up the wind, and immediately blocked Futsu no Mitama in front of him.

He also used his demonic power to block the lightning bolts from Futsu-no-Mitama.

Standing beside Morikawa Yu, Mikazuki, who had just transformed, frowned.

She was equally displeased with Futsu-no-Mitama's disrespectful behavior towards Morikawa Yu. She stretched out her hand, conjuring a phantom of a katana, and slashed at Futsu-no-Mitama's sword: "Step back! Do not be disrespectful to your master!"

Lightning crackled on the blade of the Futsu-no-Mitama Sword, attempting to block the illusory image of the sword in Mikazuki's hand, but it was still slashed back by Mikazuki's strike.

Although it possesses immense power, it cannot unleash its full potential without human intervention.

Morikawa Yu stared at Futsu no Mitama, who had been forced back by Mikazuki, and then looked at Hanamiyuki in front of him.

Just now, Kashima used "Thunderous Blade" to cleave through the historical realm, allowing him and Hanami Yuki to return to the first layer of the realm—the real world.

Even after Kashima's death, Hanamiyuki remained in his possession.

His knife was held to Hanamiyuki's neck, and his other hand pressed down on her shoulder, holding her firmly. Tenshi Inaba and Asaka, who were standing next to him, also stared intently at Hanamiyuki, giving her no chance to escape.

Morikawa Yu glanced at Inaba Tenshi and Asaka beside him, signaling the rabbit girl and Asaka to keep an eye on Hanamiyuki and prevent her from escaping.

Emperor Inaba nodded.

Asaka also nodded.

Morikawa Yu released Kaname Yuki, handed her over to the rabbit girl, and walked towards Futsu-no-Mitama.

He walked to Mikazuki, who was standing in front of him, and patted the sword-wielding girl on the back: "Mikazuki, why don't you go and rest with Tsurumaru for a while? I'll take care of the rest."

Mikazuki nodded: "Yes, Master."

"But if you wish to subdue her, please be careful."

“If she insists on disobeying your discipline, you can hand her over to me and Tsurumaru. We will discipline her and make her obey you.”

Morikawa Yu nodded to Mikazuki: "Yes, I know."

But he still wanted to control the unruly divine sword himself, rather than trouble Mikazuki and Tsurumaru.

He opened the Goshuincho space and sent Mikazuki into it.

Inside the Goshuincho (a type of ancient Chinese seal), Tsurumaru was waiting for Mikazuki.

She had many questions for Mikazuki, but Morikawa was about to subdue Futsu-mitsuru outside the Goshuin-cho, so she couldn't pay attention to Mikazuki and focused on Morikawa and the Futsu-mitsuru sword outside.

Morikawa Yu sent Mikazuki into the Goshuincho space and turned to walk towards Futsu-no-Mitama no Tsurugi.

He looked at the divine sword that symbolized the power of thunder and reached out to grab the hilt of Futsu no Mitama.

Purple-white lightning suddenly erupted from the blade of the Futsu-no-Mitama Sword, piercing towards Morikawa Yu's palm with terrifying momentum, but Morikawa Yu's expression was equally hostile.

He opened his hand, neither dodging nor avoiding, and gripped the sword hilt directly in the face of the thunderous divine power emanating from it.

Soon, the power of thunder struck Morikawa Yu's arm, leaving charred electric marks on it. However, these charred marks healed quickly, the scabs fell off, and the white and firm skin was revealed.

Morikawa Yu's physique far surpasses that of ordinary people.

These thunderous powers could leave scars on his body; if placed on mortal objects or ordinary people, they could probably shatter and melt metal and stone, turning ordinary people into ashes.

This also made Morikawa Yu realize just how unruly this divine sword was.

Morikawa Yu no longer held back, unleashing his wind power to sweep towards the divine sword in his hand, suppressing the thunderous divine power emanating from it.

The sword Futsu-no-Mitama suddenly resisted even more fiercely, its blade crackling with lightning, struggling desperately in his hand like a sulking little girl.

Morikawa Yu didn't give him a friendly look either.

"Listen to me!"

"Don't think that just because you're a divine sword, I'll be kind to you."

"I already have two beloved knives. Although they are not as famous or powerful as yours, do you think I would prefer them because they are lively, cute, gentle, and sensible, or because I am a disobedient fellow like you?"

"If you don't behave, I'll put you under the sofa or table so you can collect dust all the time."

"No matter whether you bow your head or not, I will never use you again. You'll be stuck in the dust forever, and I won't give you away to anyone. Just wait to be stuck in the dust for the rest of your life, and don't even think about ever getting ahead."

Futsu-no-Mitama's reaction immediately became even more intense.

However, Morikawa Yu did not back down at all, letting its lightning explode on his arm without dodging or avoiding it, and suppressing it mercilessly with the force of the wind.

Finally, seeing that Morikawa Yu didn't seem to be joking, and that her Thunder God Power and resistance were useless, Futsu-no-Mitama's aura finally subsided, and she looked much more obedient, with a hint of grievance.

Is it a divine artifact, or the one among the Three Spirit Swords that wields the power of thunder? When has it ever been treated so roughly?

Both Urabe Asataka and Kashima treated it well, keeping it by their side. Only Morikawa Yu directly suppressed it and threatened it.

However, Morikawa Yu didn't seem to have a good temper, and he really did have two famous swords that had already taken human form and had been with him for a long time, so it didn't dare to resist anymore.

If Morikawa Yu really doesn't use it, and the other two famous swords also sideline it, it might really have no good days ahead.

Seeing that Futsu-no-Mitama had stopped resisting, Morikawa Yu's expression finally improved, and he continued to ask, "You are a divine sword that controls the power of thunder, possessing the power of thunder."

"The lightning power within Mr. Kashima also originates from you?"

Lightning crackled across the blade of Futsu-no-Mitama, and with a clear ringing sound, it acknowledged, though not pleased, that it was the one that had given Kashima the ability to use the power of lightning.

Morikawa Yu stared at Futsu Mitama: "How can I become like Mr. Kashima and have the ability to use lightning?"

Futsu-no-Mitama rang out once more, transmitting its thoughts to Morikawa Yu through its mind.

Morikawa Yu frowned: "You mean I have to hold onto you first, use you constantly, and slowly familiarize myself with the power of thunder before I can use the Thunder God's Power?"

Futsu-no-Mitama let out a clear chime, indicating its nod.

Morikawa Yu: "Then you really are useless. Go to my Goshuin Book space and collect dust. I'll use you when I think of you."
