I'm having fun in Tokyo

"We were too far away just now, and it was nighttime, so I couldn't see clearly. I didn't expect Yu Jun to get even more handsome after just a few days!"

Morikawa Yu raised an eyebrow, but didn't react.

He also praised Kondo Kiyoshi before asking curiously, "Kiyoshi-kun, are you here to visit the shrine?"

Kondo Kiyoshi shook his head: "No, I'm here to see my aunt. She has resigned from her position as the Priestess, and I've come to pick her up today."

Morikawa Yu frowned.

Has Kondo Ran resigned from her position as the Princess of the Goddess?

Iron Waste, she's no longer a priestess?

He was a little confused and wanted to ask a question, but then he saw Kondo Kiyosaki ask him, "Hagi-kun, haven't you been to class these past two days?"

Morikawa Yu nodded.

I haven't been to class these past two days, but how did he know?

Kondo Kiyoshi seemed to sense what Morikawa Yu was wondering about, and smiled.

“This is what my sister told me, Yu-jun. She said she hasn’t seen you at school for two days in a row.”

"And she also told me that the vice president of your kendo club was very angry today, and kept saying things like you weren't coming to school because you wanted to stand her up over the weekend~"

Morikawa Yu raised an eyebrow as she listened.

He pictured the deputy minister's face and felt that this was indeed the kind of thing she would say.

But what did I do to stand her up?

He thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that he had promised her that he would take her to the amusement park this weekend.

He simply forgot about it because he was so busy these past few days.

If it weren't for Kondo Kiyoshi bringing this up today, the vice minister probably wouldn't have gotten to go to the amusement park with him until next year.

Should I keep my promise?

Today is Thursday, and the weekend is almost here.

Chapter 102 Everyone has his own destiny

However, considering that the vice minister seemed to have feelings for him, Morikawa Yu felt it was better to refuse.

He is no longer single.

Moreover, this is also for the benefit of the deputy minister.

Although Hishitsuki doesn't seem like a yandere, he doesn't want to be like Makoto.

I should talk to Emi and make things clear. I can't keep dragging it out, or it will only make things more complicated.

As he was thinking, he saw Kondo Kiyoshi beckon to the other side of the worship hall.

Several shrine maidens came over, but the girl in the middle was not wearing a shrine maiden's outfit; instead, she wore a simple blue kimono.

Because the season hadn't warmed up yet, and the temperature dropped even lower at night, she was still wearing a coat.

Morikawa Yu was stunned for a moment before recognizing her as Kondo Ran.

She stood with the shrine maidens, looking at him with some fear. Seeing him talking to Kondo Kiyoshi, she mustered up her courage, broke away from the group of shrine maidens, and walked over.

"Sister-in-law~"

Kondo Kiyoshi called out with a smile, causing Kondo Ran to stop in her tracks.

She nodded to him before looking at Morikawa Yu again.

“Um… Mr. Morikawa, I have something I’d like to say to you.”

"Please speak~" Morikawa Yu also nodded.

Although he had met her a few times, that was all. He only knew that she was Ryoko's adopted daughter and that she was timid.

“Hmm…” Kondo Ran clenched her hands, but bowed to him. “Thank you, Mr. Morikawa.”

Morikawa Yu was taken aback for a moment: "Why do you say that?"

“Because Mr. Morikawa helped me,” Kondo Ran continued, taking a deep breath.

"Your mother didn't tell you, did she? I became the Mikamiko because Kiyoshi's younger sister didn't want to take over the position, so she chose me."

"I came here because I didn't want to upset my mother, and I've been learning about the shrine from her."

“But now that you’re here, Mr. Morikawa, I don’t need to force myself anymore.”

Morikawa Yu nodded, but vaguely remembered Kondo Kiyoshi telling him about this.

He also told me about Kondo Kaori and wanted to set me up with her.

He just didn't quite understand why Kondo Ran looked so relieved.

The position of the God-King isn't that scary, is it?

Although Aunt Ryoko seems very busy, she also wields a lot of power.

Most of the officers in the Metropolitan Police Department obeyed her orders, and even the noble families in the Kasumigami Palace gave her face and provided her with conveniences.

She can handle anything related to monsters with full authority.

Although Ryoko had never told him about the Kondo family, the Kondo family must have had a high social status.

The upper class of Japanese society is simply a rebranded feudal aristocracy from the old era.

The court and the samurai families simply exist in different forms.

The Kondo family originated from the court and was historically a powerful and influential clan. It's unlikely they're not doing poorly now.

"Miss Lan, don't you want to end up like Aunt Liangzi?"

He looked at Ran Kondo and frowned.

"Ah...yes." Kondo Ran felt a little scared under his gaze.

"Because I would have to come into contact with monsters and such, and I have no talent, even if I inherited my mother's divine power, it would be difficult for me to use it. I am very afraid of that day coming."

"I don't want to face those things."

“But Mr. Morikawa, you are different. You are already so powerful now. If you inherit the divine power, you will only become more powerful.”

As she spoke, Morikawa Yu's brows furrowed even more.

"You mean, inherit divine power?"

"The divine power of the God Lord was not acquired through his own cultivation, but inherited?"

"Yes, that's right." Kondo Ran nodded obediently.

“My mother told me that her divine power was inherited from the previous god, and this power will not fade away, but will only be transferred to the successor.”

Morikawa Yu nodded thoughtfully.

No wonder the deity's appearance remains youthful; it must be due to the blessing of this power.

Furthermore, Ryoko's previous lack of concern about the successor was probably because she felt that even if Ran Kondo was cowardly, her personality would change somewhat after obtaining divine power.

However, it seems that Kondo Ran is still the same as before, unchanged, and even more timid because of my appearance.

"So you resigned from the position of Mikamiko?" Morikawa Yu sighed.

"Mm." Kondo Ran nodded.

"So what do you want to do in the future?"

"I want to... go back to university, and then become a teacher after graduation..."

She spoke softly, but her eyes seemed to sparkle, as if she was looking forward to the future.

Morikawa Yu shook her head, unable to bring herself to discourage her.

Given her personality, she would only be bullied by students if she were a teacher. I don't know what she was thinking.

However, he then thought of Maki Hojo.

She and Hojo Maki are good friends, and perhaps she got this idea after seeing Hojo Maki working as a kendo teacher at Sakuragawa Academy.

In that case, he doesn't seem to need to worry too much.

If Maki Hojo were here, she would definitely take care of Ran Kondo.

If anyone bullies Kondo Ran, she will definitely grab a knife and chop their head off.

He nodded.

Ran Kondo seemed to breathe a sigh of relief as well.

She bowed to Morikawa Yu again before turning and walking toward the waiting shrine maidens.

The shrine maidens were carrying some things when they saw her return, and then they walked out of the shrine.

She followed, her steps light and quick, as if she were heading towards her new life.

This touched him even more.

He suddenly thought of himself.

Kondo Ran became the shrine maiden here to learn about shrine affairs because of Yoshiko's request.

Now, because of my arrival, she is finally free to choose the life she wants.

What about yourself?

Having obtained the Sword Master System, he plunges headlong into the secrets of this world, and is even favored by Ryoko, who will inherit her position and become the supreme god of Tokyo.

If everyone has their own destiny, then one's own destiny is enough to make countless people envious.

But Morikawa Yuu felt something was missing.

He suddenly remembered the time when he had just transmigrated.

At that time, he was full of ambition and wanted to do something big, but he found that he was only slightly better than the average person, so he gave up his unrealistic ideas and just wanted an easier life.

Now he has a system, great strength, and an infinitely bright future, but he has lost his original state of mind.

He wasn't ungrateful, and he knew he was lucky.

Without the system and Liangzi's favor, he would still be stuck in school, and there would be no way he could have saved his sister, met Feiyue, and had the easy life and status he has now.

Moreover, his life ideal is very simple: to live happily and protect his family.

If something goes against his beliefs, then he will deal with it.

If you see people being oppressed, then help them.

In his past life, he wanted to become a policeman precisely because he couldn't stand what was happening.

He shook his head slightly and smiled.

He's figured it out.

Ran Kondo longs for an ordinary life, unlike him.

He longed for power and status more than an ordinary life, so that he would have the means to live according to his own will.

Encountering victims like Tatsuya Aso and Nanami Yamano, helping and rescuing them, and making the perpetrators pay the price, can also ease his mind.

Moreover, he felt that this was what Riaso, after being forgiven by his brother Yone in League of Legends, truly pursued.

Although players think Yasuo is just an orphan who only cares about his own happiness, who knows that the original Yasuo was also a hero who vowed to protect his homeland and had a proud heart?

However, his arrogance led to his isolation and a life of wandering.

Now that the Sword Master system has chosen him, it certainly doesn't want him to live a life like Yasuo's, seemingly carefree but actually turbulent.

Otherwise, what is the point of this system?

Is it just to repeat Yasuo's tragic life?

He chuckled, shook his head, and looked at the dim stars and bright moon in the night sky.

The moonlight was beautiful, but unfortunately, Hiizuki wasn't there; only Kondo Kiyoshi, that beast, was by her side.

He shook his head again, feeling a little regretful.

Kondo Kiyoshi was somewhat puzzled, but after seeing Morikawa Yu's expression, he was filled with amazement.
