Tokyo: Starting from the Miko Sister

Without saying anything, he started the car.

Haruhiko sighed and thought to himself that today's lipstick tasted good.

It's the lemon flavor he prefers.

That's right, Tsuchimikado Mari's behavior is too queen-like.

He couldn't find any chance to feel proud.

Haruhiko thought of Hoshino Hotaru again.

He liked the girl's reckless fighting style.

"where are we going?"

Haruhiko noticed that this road did not lead to Tachibana Yui's mansion and couldn't help but ask.

"go to company."

Tsuchimikado Mari explained, "The master is also at the company."

Think about it too.

I just got back from vacation and I must take care of family affairs.

Haruhiko didn't ask any more questions.

After some time, the red sedan was at Diamond Entertainment, which was owned by the Tsuchimikado family.

As soon as Tsuchimikado Mari got out of the car, someone appeared immediately.

"President!"

She bowed deeply and looked very respectful.

Mari Tsuchimikado is the official chairman of Diamond Entertainment.

As for Tachibana Yui, she is the top star in the company, a big star and idol. She is not responsible for company affairs but only for singing and dancing.

"Park the car."

Tsuchimikado Mari threw the key away casually.

The young woman quickly caught it with both hands.

Haruhiko and Jinguji Fuyu followed Tsuchimikado Mari upstairs.

Along the way, people greeted us.

Let Haruhiko experience the charm of a domineering female president again.

But the thought of her showing a completely different charm in front of me is really exciting.

However, the one who attracted the most attention was Jinguji Fuyumi.

She is a fox after all.

Many people looked at her curiously.

Because Tsuchimikado Mari was there, no one dared to step forward.

The two men and the fox soon arrived at the office.

"What do you want to drink?"

Tsuchimikado Mari asked as she closed the door.

"It will be all right."

Haruhiko sat on the sofa in a familiar manner.

"Then drink tea."

Tsuchimikado Mari opened the drawer of her desk and took out some black tea.

After getting some water from the water dispenser, he quickly brought a cup and placed it in front of Haruhiko.

"Thank you."

Haruhiko took a sip and asked, "Where's Aunt Mashiro?"

"She should be in her office and we should leave her alone."

Tsuchimikado Mari sat opposite him with her legs crossed, revealing her long legs in black stockings.

At the same time, in order to take care of Haruhiko, a mysterious scene is revealed.

It's a touch of red.

But not the color of the clothes.

"Sister Marie."

Haruhiko coughed lightly and asked, "Did you call me here because Miyamoto found Izumi-no-Kami Kanesada?"

“This is not the main reason.”

Tsuchimikado Mari held her chin with one hand, stared at him, and asked, "Have you ever heard of spells that summon spirits?"

"Know a thing or two."

Haruhiko nodded, his expression changing.

As the name suggests, spiritualism means summoning spirits.

However, this kind of spirit is in a broad sense and does not only refer to evil spirits or vengeful spirits.

There are also souls that exist in the underworld or the remaining souls.

It is quite similar to the necromancy commonly seen in fantasy games of previous lives.

But necromancy can summon entities like skeletons, but summoning spirits cannot.

There are two types of spells that summon spirits.

One is to drive the spirits to ward off demons.

One is to be possessed by a spirit to increase strength.

Both are time-limited and won't exist for long.

It is worth mentioning that the second type is a forbidden technique according to the definition of the Ogosho.

Because spirits enter the body, serious sequelae often occur.

Haruhiko had encountered a spell that was a combination of Onmyoji and Shikigami a long time ago.

This is a variation of the spirit-calling spell.

Tsuchimikado Mari mentioned the spirit summoning spell, so she definitely wasn't bored.

This means that Mr. Miyamoto wants to use a spell to summon spirits.

The location is the remains of Izumi-no-Kami Kanesada.

It goes without saying who to summon.

"Influenced by the fragments of Izumi-no-Kami Kanesada, many strange phenomena occurred, thus forming the ruins."

Tsuchimikado Mari continued, "I thought they were delayed because it was difficult to find. In fact, they were arranging a spirit summoning ceremony, preparing to use the fragments of Izumi-no-kami Kanesada as a medium to summon the two great swordsmen related to him."

Haruhiko was shocked when he heard that.

It was just as he guessed.

The two great swordsmen refer to Hayate and Hijikata Toshizo.

Even if he couldn't summon a complete spirit, but only an afterimage, it would be a huge profit for Miyamoto.

Hayate is the character controlled by Haruhiko in the first round of the game.

Under the influence of game plug-ins, he can be regarded as an expert in swordsmanship.

He knows everything and has even developed new sword techniques.

Many psychics of the swordsman profession want to learn, but they can't find the way.

After all, Hayate is just a game character and there is no way to teach them.

Hijikata Toshizo was also a great swordsman.

If successful, Miyamoto would be able to get a glimpse of their swordsmanship, which would be far more valuable than Izumi-no-Kami Kanesada.

A famous sword is good, but it is ultimately a dead object, and there is only one, so it cannot be promoted.

Swordsmanship is the real wealth, enough to make the Miyamoto family even more glorious.

"Can this be summoned?"

Haruhiko couldn't help but ask.

“It’s hard to say, but there is hope.”

Tsuchimikado Marisaki said in a deep voice, "Izumi-no-kami Kanesada is not an ordinary sword, it is a fifth-level spiritual tool. It witnessed the battle between Hayate and Hijikata Toshizo and has a connection with the two great swordsmen. It is okay to use it as a medium."

Haruhiko suddenly thought of the Holy Grail War.

Isn't Izumi-no-Kami Kanesada equivalent to a holy relic?

cough cough.

However, he was sure that Miyamoto could only summon Hijikata Toshizo at most.

Because Hayate is his character.

According to the plot of the game, after completing the game, the character controlled by the player will retire.

If a thousand years had passed, it would have naturally died a normal death.

But Haruhiko was also curious about one thing.

If the séance ceremony is initiated, will I receive a prompt?

"According to the undercover agents that Tsuchimikado has planted in Miyamoto clan, the sedition ceremony will be ready tomorrow."

Tsuchimikado Mari asked again, "What are you going to do?"

"I'm going back to Inari Shrine today, and I'll be going with Aunt Fuyu."

Haruhiko answered immediately.

"You want to stop the seance?"

Tsuchimikado Mari smiled faintly and asked, "Don't you want to see the two great swordsmen from a thousand years ago?"

"They are all human beings, nothing to see."

Haruhiko said with a shrug.

He had already seen it, so naturally he was not interested.

"He's not much to look at in person, but what about his swordsmanship?"

Tsuchimikado Mari pursed her rosy lips and said, "Generally speaking, the spirit summoning ritual will summon a spiritual being with intelligence. In a short period of time, you may be able to become a disciple and learn skills."

Haruhiko suddenly froze.

This was something he had not thought of before.

If we look at it from a gaming perspective, the remains of Izumi-no-Kami Kanesada are undoubtedly heritage remains.

Although it was just an ordinary exploration of the ruins before, its nature has changed greatly after Mr. Miyamoto's intervention.

Hayate and Hijikata Toshizo are both swordsmen, and it goes without saying that their heritage also includes swordsmanship.

Then all swordsmen and psychics have a chance.

But who has the best chance?

Haruhiko was suddenly moved.

Anyway, you won’t lose anything by giving it a try.

The fragment of Izumi-no-Kami Kanesada only acts as a medium and will not disappear.

At most, the wear and tear will increase a little.

It can be adjusted afterwards, but it may take longer than the original time.
