Tokyo: Starting from the Miko Sister

Haruhiko is now a snow boy.

Trying it again probably won't have any effect.

All that remains for the hot springs is to help strengthen the Snow Girl Clan.

"Will that take the water away?"

The reason why Haruhiko was able to withstand the demon body of the Snow Woman clan this time was because of the hot spring.

After leaving, I guess I'll have to go back to the way things were.

“Without the hot spring, the water’s effectiveness is greatly reduced.”

Xue Ji had already put on her clothes. Seeing his appearance, she said jokingly, "So you have to work hard."

"..."

Haruhiko heard her tone and asked, "Are you working hard on your training again?"

"Both."

Xue Ji licked the corner of her mouth slowly, which was indescribably tempting.

Fortunately, Haruhiko was in great sage mode and was not affected too much.

"Shall we go straight back?"

"Why? You want to see the fifth-order demon?"

Xue Ji raised her hand and the originally closed passage reopened.

The weak light from outside fell, making the underground hall a little brighter.

"Do not want to."

Haruhiko shook his head and said, "At least not now. Once I reach the fifth level, it won't be able to escape."

"What a big kid."

Xue Ji knew what he was talking about, and her heart warmed, "But even if you reach the fifth level, it will be difficult to defeat it."

"That's a normal human being."

Haruhiko said confidently, "I'm different."

“You are indeed different.”

Xue Ji did not refute his statement and said, "When a demon reaches the fifth level, it will have unique talents, which are actually the same as the magical powers of monsters. The talent of the one above us is transformation."

"Transformation?"

Haruhiko thought of something and his expression changed slightly.

"Transform other creatures into demons."

After Xue Ji finished speaking, she fell into silence.

Haruhiko previously thought that all the creatures in the Seventh Restricted Area were devoured, but now it seems that there is another reason why there are no bodies left.

In other words, the same is true for the Snow Girl Clan.

They have all turned into demons.

Haruhiko now understood why Ogosho couldn't handle it.

Because you can't get close.

Just lure him into the barrier and imprison him.

The two men returned to the ground.

Xue Ji's mood also returned to normal.

She raised her hand and chanted a spell to seal the forbidden area of ​​the Snow Girl Clan.

"Do you know the demon in the first restricted area?"

Haruhiko followed Yukihime down the mountain.

On the way, he suddenly thought of the first restricted area guarded by the Izumo Shrine.

Since every generation of heirs has to go there, could it have anything to do with the demons?

"The demons in the first restricted area appeared a long time ago."

Xue Ji held his hand and said, "Few people have seen it, but there are the most records about it."

"why?"

Haruhiko acted like a good student and asked questions promptly.

"Because it kills so many people."

Xue Ji's tone changed slightly, "Nearly 30,000 people died, and countless more were affected."

If all 30,000 people were ordinary people, any high-level psychic could do it.

But it was obvious that those who died were not ordinary people, but the elites of the Ogosho.

Taking the Tsuchimikado clan as an example, the number of people in the main family and branch families combined would hardly exceed one thousand.

This demon from the first restricted area killed at least dozens of forces.

"What is its magical power?"

Haruhiko asked curiously.

“Immortality.”

Xue Ji paused and said, "I feel it is more complicated than immortality, more like resurrection."

No wonder there were so many casualties.

An immortal fifth-order demon, just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.

The only way is to seal it.

But sealing is sometimes more troublesome than killing.

The demons will not be slaughtered.

Moreover, the fifth-level demons are quite intelligent.

Haruhiko fell into deep thought.

Since it can't be killed, why does Izumo Shrine bother it?

For this purpose, a special heir was left behind.

If you are acting as a sparring partner, this is obviously not necessary.

Because the risk is too great.

If you really want a sparring partner, with the power of Izumo Shrine, you can definitely ask a fifth-level psychic for help.

Safe and efficient.

Haruhiko couldn't figure it out and could only give up.

The only way is to go to the First Forbidden Zone later.

Whether it was Hoshino Rin or Hoshino Hotaru, he certainly didn't want to see anything go wrong with them.

"It's a little weird."

Xue Ji suddenly stopped and looked towards the top of the snow mountain.

"what happened?"

Haruhiko became alert, "Is there a demon?"

"No."

Xue Ji shook her head, "But it's unreasonable that there haven't been any alien demons for so long."

Haruhiko was slightly startled, then he understood immediately.

When they went up the mountain before, they encountered several waves of demons, but when they came down the mountain, there was not a single one.

"Maybe something unexpected happened."

Xue Ji thought for a moment, shook her head again, and said, "Never mind our business, let's go back."

If she hadn't met Haruhiko, she would have definitely gone ahead to find out the truth without asking any questions.

Now, she was not only worried about something happening to him, but also worried about something happening to herself.

Revenge must be taken, but losing the current excitement because of it is not worth it.

The two people left the barrier.

Haruhiko drove the car and returned to Tokyo with Yukihime.

It was already afternoon when he woke up.

By the time they got home, it was already night.

And today is Monday.

Haruhiko had no signal when he was inside the barrier before, and only discovered the problem after he came out.

Fortunately, it didn't last long and nothing serious happened.

If they delay for another two days, Haruhiko suspects that Tsuchimikado Mashiro and the others will have to search the whole world for someone.

Only after he responded to them one by one did they feel relieved.

But there are also some who are angry.

For example, Tsuchimikado Mari.

She never trusted Xue Ji.

This time she took Haruhiko out for the whole day and even played missing, which made her unhappy.

But she didn't show it.

"Owner!"

Izumi said with tears in her eyes, "You're finally back!"

Actually, missing a day is nothing.

But both Tsuchimikado Mari and Hoshino Hotaru came over to ask.

This made her feel uneasy.

Izumi was about to throw himself in her face when Yukihime grabbed hold of him.

Although she was no longer a demon from the Snow Girl clan, she was still cold enough to face a sneak attack from a woman.

Izumi was so frightened by her glare that his legs went weak and he immediately became obedient.

For some reason, she always felt that Xue Ji was more terrifying than before.

With Izumi's strength, he naturally couldn't detect her advancement.

But the sense of oppression has increased.

The only one who knows the inside story is Jinguji Touyou.

Haruhiko lost contact for a short time, but she was not panicked at all.

It’s because Xue Ji is already at the fifth level.

In Japan today, except for the restricted areas, the fifth level is relatively safe.

But even if it is a restricted area, it is not particularly difficult to escape as long as you are not stubborn.

"Take a rest."

Yukihime put Izumi down and said, "I'll go prepare dinner."

"Hard."

Haruhiko closed the door behind him.

After Yukihime left, Izumi finally came forward.
