I'm having fun in Tokyo

She lowered her head, surrounded by masks, and glanced at Morikawa Yu beside Ryoko.

Ryoko had just given him her mask, which she had obviously seen, and she sighed inwardly.

She had long suspected the young man's identity; he was the one the younger generation had mentioned, the one chosen to inherit the position of God.

But what she didn't expect was that he was already a powerful swordsman before inheriting the divine position, and could defeat her so easily.

This is too strange.

Hasn't it always been the case that only the heirs who formally inherit the divine position possess status and power?

Ryoko remained silent, her expression turning cold.

Morikawa Yu and Isshiki Nanami exchanged a glance, also somewhat curious about what she had said.

She said she was summoned by the priest yesterday and had not been active in the human world for a long time, but she did not look like she was isolated from the world at all.

The body she is currently using belongs to Yamano Nanami, who "died" in a murder case three years ago.

He always felt that this so-called "One Color Seven" was hiding something.

And why would the Isshiki family know about the rumors that Yoshiko's time was coming to an end? Did the rumors start circulating because of his visit to the Metropolitan Police Department the day before yesterday?

Does the God's choice of a successor signify that the God's time has come?

He looked at Ryoko with some curiosity, only to find her staring coldly into Isshiki Nanami's eyes, and she said in a cold voice, "You're lying!"

Isshiki Nanami immediately shook her head: "No, how could I dare to lie in order to ask for your forgiveness?"

"Huh, really?"

Ryoko's expression gradually turned cold.

"According to you, you came out to test the shrine because of the Isshiki family's request, but I know the Isshiki family's situation. They have always been very self-aware and dare not take sides between Kasumigaka and the shrine. Why would they suddenly do something like this?"

"Besides, the household gods they worshipped have long since disappeared. So where did you come from, daring to impersonate the household gods they worship?"

"I...I am the guardian spirit of the Isshiki family." Isshiki Nanami said with some fear, but still continued.

"I did almost disappear before, but I had them find me a body and I have regained my strength."

"You said you recognized me. I have met you before, but we haven't had much interaction."

"The body you asked them to find for you is Yamano Nanami's body?" Morikawa Yu suddenly interjected.

Nanami Isshiki nodded quickly: "Yes, this body suits me very well, and the name is the same as mine, so it won't affect my true spirit. It's very good."

"What is the relationship between Ogura Haruhiko and this body?" Morikawa Yu still remembered the Noh actor who was imprisoned for "murder".

"Ah, who is Ogura Haruhiko?" Isshiki Nanami was taken aback.

“A guy who went to jail for ‘murdering’ Nanami Yamano,” he reminded her.

She suddenly seemed to remember something and nodded: "I remember now. He was the assistant that the Isshiki family found to perform the ritual of possessing this body."

"He was locked up for the sake of secrecy."

"Once he gets out, the Isshiki family will give him appropriate compensation."

Morikawa Yu nodded, her feelings somewhat complicated.

He thought something was wrong, but he never expected that guy to be an accomplice.

He had mistakenly thought the other party was a victim who had been framed and wanted to help with the investigation.

"You said before that you haven't been active in the human world for a long time, so why did you spend so much time in Shibuya yesterday, and why were you so familiar with the place?" he continued to ask, staring intently at her.

She stuck out her tongue and replied softly, "Because I used to go there often. Before, when I occupied this body, I had to suppress the body's consciousness, so it was difficult to go out. It's only recently that I've gotten a lot better, so I wanted to go for a stroll."

"As a result, I lost control of my power today and lost consciousness. As soon as I opened my eyes, I found myself entangled with you, and now I've been captured."

As she spoke, she had an expression that said, "I'm so miserable, have pity on me."

Morikawa Yu remained unmoved.

No matter what, the other party used masks to turn several people into monsters, and even took over Yamano Nanami's body. They can't be considered a good person.

He couldn't convince himself to let her go.

Without saying a word, Ryoko simply waved her hand and used golden light to seal off the space around Isshiki Nanami, who gradually fell into a deep sleep.

He looked at Ryoko and saw that she shook her head.

"Don't take her words seriously, Morikawa."

"Is she lying?"

Morikawa Yu frowned and glanced at the sleeping Isshiki Nanami.

Liangzi nodded slightly, then shook her head.

"It can't be said to be all lies, but it's at least 80% true and 20% false."

"She said she was the guardian deity of the Isshiki family, but there are very few families in Kasumigaseki that still have guardian deities, and even fewer guardian deities who are great youkai."

"Their main influence is in all levels of society, where they operate in their respective fields."

"Matters concerning yokai have always been handled by the shrine."

"The Isshiki family did have a family shrine before, but that shrine disappeared long ago due to the decline of its power. Moreover, I personally presided over the memorial ceremony. When I said she looked familiar, it was just a casual remark."

“But just now she was so convinced that she was the household god worshipped by the Isshiki family…” Ryoko glanced at Isshiki Nanami and narrowed her eyes.

"Either she's lying, or she herself doesn't know that she's not the Isshiki family's guardian spirit..."

“Morikawa.” She looked at Morikawa Yu and sighed.

"This matter probably needs further investigation. I'm counting on you."

Morikawa Yu nodded, without refusing.

He was just lamenting how easily he had resolved the matter.

Now that he's discovered the problem still exists, he feels his interest has been rekindled.

However, he was worried about something else.

Just now, Isshiki Nanami said that Yoshiko's time was coming to an end, which is why he did what he did yesterday to test her. He had also heard Yoshiko talk about this before.

However, he didn't understand why the God Lord's choice of a successor meant that the God Lord had reached his end.

If that's the case, wouldn't the shrine's lineage end as soon as the heir is eliminated?

Moreover, before I met her, the shrine's priestess was that cowardly shrine maiden, Kondo Ran. Could someone like her really inherit the position of shrine master?

There's a problem. There's a big problem with this.

His gaze fell on Ryoko, and he decided to ask her anyway.

Chapter 98 You're just a knife, you can't turn into a loli.

"Aunt Liangzi, what she just said about you..."

Morikawa Yu looked at her cautiously and asked a question, but didn't finish the question, as it would be impolite.

Liangzi glanced at him and shook her head.

“It’s alright, Morikawa. They say I’m dying, but I’m still standing here, aren’t I?”

He nodded subconsciously, wanting to ask more, but then noticed that Ryoko seemed tired and stretched.

He subconsciously looked away.

Liangzi noticed his movements, stretched, straightened her clothes, and smiled at him with a bright and gentle smile.

"Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen."

"Well, I see"

Morikawa Yu nodded, knowing that Ryoko didn't want him to ask any more questions.

He suppressed his doubts, sighed inwardly, and changed the subject.

"Aunt Ryoko, when I caught Nanami Isshiki today, I had some ideas about weapons. Could you please help me with that?"

"Hmm? What's your idea?" Ryoko seemed intrigued.

"It's about combining a gun and a sword to create a gun-sword; there have been designs for this weapon in history." Morikawa Yu took out the Tsurumaru from the Goshuincho and then the M637 revolver he had tested earlier that day.

He leaned the revolver against Tsurumaru and suddenly heard Tsurumaru's dissatisfied chirping.

It seemed to feel insulted by having the gun placed next to it and kept protesting.

Morikawa Yu raised an eyebrow, amused by it, and shook its blade.

Be good, listen to me.

You're just a knife; no matter how dissatisfied you are, you'll never become a tsundere loli. Give up the struggle.

Sensing his feelings, Tsurumaru's resistance became even more pronounced; his sword trembled slightly, and he shook with anger.

Morikawa Yu coughed lightly, put the revolver back into the Goshuincho, then slung the Tsurumaru around his waist, pressed his hand on its hilt, and mentally reassured it before turning to look at Ryoko.

"Anyway, I want to forge a knife that can be used in battle. Aunt Ryoko, do you have any ideas on how to do that?"

“I see. The kind of guns and swords in history…” Ryoko paused, seemingly thinking, “If it’s just simple forging, it’s not difficult. But adding firearms might be a difficult design.”

"However, it's not impossible. I'll help you find someone who can design it."

“Okay, thank you for your help, Aunt Ryoko.” Morikawa Yu bowed.

Liangzi smiled slightly: "It's alright, no need to be so polite."

"I'll send someone to contact the Isshiki family first, so you don't need to worry."

"You've been so busy these past few days, you should take a rest too."

"Remember to come to the shrine tonight."

Morikawa Yu nodded.

There's been a lot going on these past few days. I just registered my marriage with Hiizuki, and then I ran into Isshiki Nanami. It's really giving me a headache.

Although we need to continue investigating this matter, there's no rush.

As for learning about the divine abilities, we can do that tonight.

Without lingering any longer, he said goodbye to Ryoko, turned and left the shrine...

......

After being teleported back to town and returning home, Morikawa Yu left his room.

"I'm back~"

He called out, but found no one to greet him, which surprised him.

Where is my sister? Where is Fei Yue?

At worst... what about Shinjuku and Chi-chan?

Why is there no one?

Sigh, I feel so unaccustomed to not having my sister's face wash.

He sighed and walked towards the living room, only to find it empty. He then went upstairs and heard sounds coming from his sister's room, including a faint moan.

"...?"

Morikawa Yu frowned, pushed open the door, but paused for a moment.

Inside the room, Fei Yue sat on the tatami mat, with a pink-haired girl lying on her side on her lap—it was Xin Jue.

She looked completely absorbed and enjoying herself, as if she had arrived in paradise.

The older sister was also floating in mid-air, seemingly observing intently.

A question mark slowly appeared on Morikawa Yu's forehead.

What's going on? What happened?

Did I open the door wrong?

He shook his head, trying to clear his head, and then looked at Feiyue, only to see her push Xinjue's head away without hesitation and put down what she was holding.

Morikawa Yu took another look and realized that it seemed to be a strand of silver-white hair twisted into two strands.
