Tokyo: Starting from the Miko Sister

Although Ashiya Michiman is very powerful, he is still a human being after all.

But humans have limits.

Monsters can live for thousands or even millions of years, but humans cannot do that and will die in a few hundred years at most.

But there are also abnormal situations.

For example, the Nagasaki vine that Haruhiko encountered in the Genji ruins.

Letting it possess you can grant you immortality, but the price is very high.

Ashiya Doman also wanted to find immortality without any side effects, but it was difficult.

Therefore, he chose another solution.

A rather mysterious spiritual tool.

It can keep Ashiya Doman's body in an absolutely still state.

As a price, you cannot move.

But it was impossible for Ashiya Doman to stay here for a long time, so he thought of another way.

The soul leaves the body and occupies a new body.

In fact, this is not the first time Haruhiko has seen it.

This is the case with Tsuchimikado Mashiro.

Her stand is controlled by the soul.

But the two are different.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro is remote controlled.

If her true body dies, she must die.

The good thing is that if the substitute dies, it will not affect the real body at all.

Ashiya Doman was just the opposite.

The death of the real body will not affect the substitute.

When the substitute dies, that is the real death.

Haruhiko seemed to be thinking about something.

It seems that Tsuchimikado Mashiro's methods are more sophisticated, but in fact, that is not the case.

Because her true body will gradually age.

But Ashiya Doman would not do that and he could always maintain his peak period.

Haruhiko suddenly thought of the previous battle at the Snake Spirit headquarters.

At that time, Ashiya Doman had already demonstrated considerable strength, but in fact, that was not his true strength.

After he returns to his true form, he will be able to unleash even stronger power, perhaps approaching the sixth level.

"His body must be destroyed."

After listening to this, Tsuchimikado Mashiro said without hesitation.

"good."

Tsuchimikado Mari agreed, "He's already a problem for us right now."

Hoshino Aoi also nodded.

The three fifth-level psychics who participated in the battle at the Snake Spirit Headquarters all said so, and Haruhiko realized that Ashiya Doman was more troublesome than he had imagined.

But that's normal. After all, he is the villain in the game setting. He is probably less powerful than Yamata no Orochi.

"Does it say how to open the entrance?"

Tsuchimikado Mashiro asked while looking at Haruhiko.

"Have."

Haruhiko nodded.

This ruin was actually used to store the body of Ashiya Michimitsu.

He will come back to get his real body later, so naturally he cannot leave no way out.

"That's good."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro was worried that the trip would be in vain.

Although the fifth floor of the Takama-ga-hara ruins is very large, it is still difficult to find ruins of a similar scale, and she doesn't want to waste too much time.

It was rather unusual for the Tsuchimikado clan to collaborate with the Izumo Shrine in exploring the ruins.

As time goes on, it might arouse the suspicion of the fifth-level demon.

"Leave in half an hour."

Hoshino Aoi slowly stood up and said calmly, "I'll go inform them."

She left the tent.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro turned his head to look at Tsuchimikado Mari and blinked.

The meaning is clear.

Tsuchimikado Mari glanced at Haruhiko, then stood up and left.

She also went to inform the Tsuchimikado clan.

In the end, only three people were left.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro frowned slightly, tilted his head and looked at Hoshino Hotaru.

She wondered why she didn't leave.

Hoshino Aoi has already left, why is she staying?

She has nothing to do with Haruhiko.

As far as Tsuchimikado Mashiro knows, the girlfriend that Tsuchimikado Mari often talks about is Hoshino Hotaru's sister.

In fact, based on the brief time they spent together, she understood why it was Hoshino Rin.

Because Hoshino Hotaru is exactly like Hoshino Aoi, and she exudes an aura that says "keep away from strangers".

It is abnormal for such a person to have good relationships with others.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro was suddenly stunned.

She found that although Hoshino Hotaru had a blank expression on her face, she was always looking at Haruhiko.

what's the situation?

Tsuchimikado Mashiro couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.

But Haruhiko was more panicked than her.

This Shura field is even stranger than I had imagined.

"Aunt Mashiro."

Haruhiko quickly changed the subject and asked, "Where is my tent?"

"I'll take you."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro temporarily suppressed the thoughts in his mind and said.

Haruhiko breathed a sigh of relief, gave Hoshino Hotaru another look, then stood up and left.

Because he was a man and had a special status, he had a separate tent.

"I'll come and call you later."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro stood at the door, but suddenly felt timid and did not go in.

Haruhiko nodded.

The setup inside the tent was ok.

There is a bed and a table.

Of course it’s the bedside table, which is smaller.

Haruhiko had been walking for so long and felt a little tired, so he lay down on the bed to rest.

But after a few seconds, he felt a soft body squeezed into his bed.

Soon, Hoshino Hotaru's head popped up and rested on his arm.

A faint fragrance permeates the air.

Haruhiko glanced at her and saw her delicate little face, which was expressionless, but he could feel a sense of tranquility and attachment.

To be honest, he wasn't surprised.

It would be strange not to come running to see him.

Among the people Haruhiko knows, only Hoshino Hotaru is very dependent on him.

He said nothing and closed his eyes again.

But I didn't sleep.

It's only half an hour after all.

And Tsuchimikado Mashiro will be here soon.

It was hard for Haruhiko to imagine how she would react if she saw this.

Twenty minutes later, he opened his eyes again.

Ever since practicing the Snow Girl Breathing Technique, his physical fitness has improved significantly.

One of these is the sense of timing.

This is quite useful in combat.

Sometimes a few seconds can mean the difference between life and death.

"firefly."

Haruhiko reached out and pinched her cheek.

He didn't sleep, but Hoshino Hotaru really fell asleep.

She is like this every time, and feels especially relaxed when she is with Haruhiko.

Hoshino Hotaru slowly opened her eyes.

She sat up, and the quilt fell down, revealing the shrine maiden costume underneath.

Because the break was short, she didn't take off her clothes.

Although she really wanted to, it wasn't like she really didn't understand anything.

I still know what are the priorities.

Even if she didn't care, she would consider Haruhiko's feelings.

"A few minutes."

Haruhiko brought the small table next to him and took out a bottle of soda from his space ring.

It’s the Coke that Tsuchimikado Mari gave me last time.

He thought it tasted good, so he ordered one more box and put it in his space ring.

“Have you ever tried Coke?”

Haruhiko unscrewed the bottle cap and asked.

Hoshino Hotaru shook her head.

She was raised at Izumo Shrine since she was a child, and the food she ate was carefully selected.

It is impossible to have a snack like Coke.

And given her personality, she wouldn't be interested in any snacks.
