Tokyo: Starting from the Miko Sister

"It's really no secret."

Utsunomiya Mina raised an eyebrow and agreed, "Then tell me."

"On the fourth floor of the Takamagahara ruins, probably in the southwest area."

Haruhiko paused and said, "That's all I heard."

"I can find out the location by checking the recent movements of the Tsuchimikado clan."

Utsunomiya Mina thought for a moment and said, "As for the place where your parents disappeared, it was in the First Restricted Area."

"The first restricted area?"

Haruhiko was stunned, then frowned, "You are not lying to me?"

The so-called restricted area refers to the location where the fifth-level demons are located. There are a total of seven restricted areas.

Xue Ji originally escaped from the seventh restricted area.

Telling him now that the place where his parents disappeared is in the first restricted area is the same as not saying anything.

"Why would I lie to you? I was counting on you to inherit the Utsunomiya clan."

Utsunomiya Mina picked up the teacup on the table, opened her red lips slightly, and swallowed, "Therefore, I advise you to give up the search, or wait until the fifth stage."

Haruhiko looked at her and locked eyes with her.

There was calmness in her eyes, without any panic or other emotions.

There is no flaw to be found, that's amazing.

Haruhiko thought about it and stood up, saying, "I know my limits."

Without waiting for Utsunomiya Mina to answer, he left the room.

"Master."

At the door, Utsunomiya Momoka was a little surprised to see him come out so quickly, but she still chased after him.

"Sorry, I don't have time today."

Haruhiko politely declined.

Utsunomiya Momoka knew what he was talking about and was not angry.

She just bowed slightly, watched him go away, then turned and went back to the room.

"The young master did not agree."

Utsunomiya Momoka knelt on the ground and said.

"That's normal."

Utsunomiya Mina chuckled, then quickly turned serious, "Go investigate the recent situation of the Tsuchimikado clan at the Takamagahara ruins. You can contact the clan members at the Edo Archaeological Bureau."

"Yes!"

Utsunomiya Momoka responded immediately.

Haruhiko walked down the street, took out his cell phone, and sent a location message to Tsuchimikado Mari.

Not long after, a red car stopped in front of him.

"Sister Marie."

Haruhiko opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

"Ah."

Tsuchimikado Mari glanced at him and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Meet Utsunomiya Mina."

Haruhiko answered while fastening his seat belt.

"I see."

Tsuchimikado Mari nodded and asked, "Did it go well?"

“It’s going well.”

Haruhiko paused and said, "It's quite troublesome though. Let's talk to Aunt Mashiro later."

Tsuchimikado Mari didn't ask any more questions.

After a while, Haruhiko got out of the car first and entered the living room.

Tachibana Wei was sitting on the sofa. When she noticed the noise, she stood up and looked outside the door.

When she noticed it was Haruhiko, her face suddenly turned a little red.

But more embarrassed than shy.

She really never thought that one day she would get drunk and act crazy in front of Haruhiko.

Although Tsuchimikado Mari said it was an accident, she didn't believe it.

When she finds an opportunity in the future, she will definitely teach her shikigami a lesson.

The top priority now is to restore one's image.

"Aunt Mashiro."

Haruhiko greeted her and sat down across from her.

Tachibana Yui was still dressed in white pajamas, looking quite casual and relaxed.

But at home, you don't need to dress too formally.

"Ah."

Tachibana Yui straightened her back immediately, no longer slouchy as before, and looked a little more energetic.

She felt a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she would not wear pajamas, as it would not be dignified enough.

After a while, Tsuchimikado Mari walked in.

Tachibana Yui took a look at her capable yet sexy women's suit and hip skirt, and suddenly felt a little envious.

But unfortunately her figure doesn't allow it.

If you force yourself to wear it, it will look even more tragic.

It's like a child wearing adult clothes, there is a sense of incongruity everywhere.

"I went to meet with Utsunomiya Mina and informed her of the approximate location of the fourth floor of the Takamagahara ruins."

When Haruhiko saw that everyone was present, he said, "As a deal, she told me that the location where my parents disappeared was the First Forbidden Zone."

"The first restricted area?"

Tachibana Yui's face suddenly became solemn.

Tsuchimikado Mari also showed some changes in mood.

“I’m not sure whether it’s true or not.”

Haruhiko continued, "Aunt Mashiro, do you have any clues? Did they contact you before they disappeared?"

"No."

Tachibana Yui sighed, "If we had been in touch, there wouldn't be any need to go through so much trouble."

"The First Forbidden Zone is the place occupied by the earliest and most powerful fifth-order alien demons."

Tsuchimikado Mari said with a cold expression, "It's very dangerous to verify her information."

"And maybe this was a trap."

Tachibana Yui crossed her legs and said, "If we go, we will suffer heavy losses."

Haruhiko fell silent.

It’s really troublesome.

He and Mina Utsunomiya were giving each other information that was difficult to tell whether true or false.

If this puts the Tsuchimikado clan in danger, it would be a loss.

Haruhiko himself would not sacrifice his life in vain.

He has a cheat, so whether it is bringing Utsunomiya Mina to justice or clearing the restricted area, it is only a matter of time. There is no need to take risks.

"The First Forbidden Zone, has anyone ever been deep into it?"

Haruhiko asked, somewhat curious.

As far as he knew, the First Forbidden Zone had existed for hundreds of years.

Specifically, it may be traced back to the end of the Age of Gods.

He was the first fifth-order demon to descend.

It caused a lot of trouble at the time because its ability was very special, which was space.

In the end, it was Ogosho and other major forces who designed a trap and completely blocked the space of the first restricted area, making it impossible for it to escape.

Tachibana Yui's expression changed when she heard that, and she said, "Hoshino Aoi."

Haruhiko was a little surprised, it turned out to be Hoshino Aoi, the mother of Hoshino Rin and Hoshino Hotaru.

This was something he didn't expect.

"Do you remember the twin heritage of Izumo Shrine?"

Tachibana Yui continued.

"know."

Haruhiko and the Hoshino sisters interact with each other whenever they have time, so they are naturally familiar with each other.

"The twin inheritance has a long history. In other words, it was also the case in Hoshino Aoi's generation."

Tachibana Yui remembered that he and Hoshino Rin were classmates, "But you haven't heard of her twin sister Hoshino Ri's name, right?"

"No."

Haruhiko had actually guessed it before, but he just found out the name now, "Where is she?"

"Eighteen years ago, Hoshino Aoi and Hoshino Ri entered the First Forbidden Zone, and a world-shaking battle broke out. But in the end, only Hoshino Aoi came out alive, and Hoshino Ri's life or death is unknown."

Tachibana Yui paused and said, "He has never come out in all these years. He must be dead."

"Why do we need to go to the First Restricted Area?"

Haruhiko asked in confusion.

"do not know."

Tachibana Yui shook her head, "Except for Hoshino Aoi, no one knows why."

"and."

Tsuchimikado Marisa suddenly spoke up with a cold tone, saying, "The two heirs of each generation of Izumo Shrine will go to the First Forbidden Zone."

"what?!"

Haruhiko's face was shocked and he showed a surprised expression.

This means that Hoshino Rin and Hoshino Hotaru will also go to the First Forbidden Zone in the future.

By then, life may be in danger.

Haruhiko suddenly understood why Hoshino Rin always emphasized that he should work hard and surpass her.

If you are not strong enough, there is no way to know the secret.

"When do they usually go?"

Haruhiko took a deep breath and asked.

"Twenty-five."

Tsuchimikado Mari said expressionlessly, "Seven more years."

Haruhiko nodded.

in time.
