The boy who is a shrine maiden does not want to marry

But as for the Onmyoji Bureau... actually they haven't talked about it yet. But in order for Mingxue to take action, their official side must also make a move to buy it. No matter what the cost, no matter what the means, they must hand over the Demon Star Body to Mingxue.

It’s not that he is determined to help Mingxue, it’s about rules. If he breaks his promise to Mingxue, how will other unofficial forces view institutions like the Investigation Bureau in the future?

Power in a sense also comes from credit.

Well, the kids on Mingxue’s side are easy to talk to, and their needs are clear, but I don’t know what the Onmyoji Bureau needs.

Fifteen suddenly felt a headache.

While he was having a headache and feeling troubled, Mingxue, who was following behind him, looked conflicted.

He was planning to respond to the feelings of the two girls tonight, but he didn't know that they would be surrounded and attacked by the Revival Society today. This forced him to think about whether to confess after the war?

If you confess your feelings to the girls before the battle, it will most likely affect their mood and fighting spirit, which can easily lead to problems.

After all, he was planning to politely reject the girls' confessions.

Even though love is lost,... at least the relationship between everyone is preserved, even if it is not as happy as before.

Sacrificing personal love in exchange for everyone's friendship, although it will also cause harm to Ye Yue and Hanayo, but... if this is not done, except for the one who agreed to confess, the other three girls will probably intentionally or unintentionally stay away from him and the one who agreed to confess, in order to maintain respect for love and maintain a superficial friendship.

Overall, rejecting Ye Yue and Hua Yang's confession is the best option.

In this way, everyone can continue to move forward and sit together in the club to play. He can also read a book while enjoying the warmth and liveliness brought by friendship, pour black tea for Huayang, watch Yeyue and Yunzhi bicker, and occasionally chat with Meiyu in his dream.

After thinking about it last night, he decided that this was the best choice he could make.

But now due to unexpected factors, he had to rethink whether today was suitable.

"Forget it, let's just wait until this mission is over." Ming Xue murmured softly.

Huayang, who was following beside him, paused.

　She didn't know why, but she suddenly had a bad feeling.

……

Onmyoji dormitory, lounge.

Tsuchimikado Sanochika, who was wearing a hunting robe, opened his eyes, got down from the futon and opened the window.

"Old man, now that you're here, just stop standing there and watch!" He smiled, stroking his beard.

Wow!

A group of blood-red bats flew into the room from the window and soon gathered in the middle of the room to form a human-shaped outline. Accompanied by a flash of blood, Hanyu Shingen appeared in front of Tsuchimikado Sachiko.

"Haha, it seems that your nose is still the same as a dog's." Hanyu Shingen straightened his kimono, walked to Tsuchimikado Sachiko and said with a smile.

Tsuchimikado Sanochika sighed, then walked over to the futon and sat down, "Shingen-sama, haven't we discussed the plan? I'll come, so there's no need for you to come and supervise me, right?"

"Haha, that's wrong. I'm not here to urge you. I'm just inviting you to go to Inari Taisha Shrine." Hanyu Shingen put his hands behind his back. "That little kid Fushimi Kana is waiting for us too. Oh, by the way, didn't Fifteen call you just now?"

Upon hearing this, Tsuchimikado Sachika sighed.

He is actually of the same generation as Shingen Hanyu, and the same generation as his son, and Kana Fushimi.

It's just that because of family reasons, both of them have inherited many spiritual weapons, so they can dominate Kansai. But in front of the non-human Shingen Hanyu, they seem dull.

Not only has the opponent lived longer, but he also has more combat experience and wisdom. He also has super recovery ability and excellent night vision as a vampire, as well as many spiritual weapons brought by his family background. He is truly the number one person in Kansai.

Therefore, with just a few words, the other party implied that he was the elder, while also indirectly revealing his strength.

"Lord Shingen, are you forcing me to hand over the body of the demon star?" Tsuchimikado Sanochika asked, looking up.

Hanyu Shingen put his hands behind his back and said, "This is what the government wants. I suggest you give it. The government will also give you a suitable reward."

Tsuchimikado Sachika touched his chin. The next step was to encircle and suppress the Resurrection Society's transit point. According to the intelligence, the bandit leader named Anna had terrifying combat power. Her words were followed by actions, and it was very likely that she was as powerful as Hanyu Shingen.

Most of its members are masters of the psychic world, and the investigation has not been completed yet, so it is extremely mysterious.

The high-end combat power is okay, but there are only Fujiwara Takeshi and Honda Asaichi in the mid- and low-end. We still need Ming Xue, a young person of the same level, to help prevent these members from sneaking into the main battlefield to provide support.

Spiritual weapons are the core of the battle between supernatural beings, and the number of them is also the factor that determines the outcome.

There is a lack of new supernatural powers in Kyoto, and private individuals dare not inform too many people for fear that their plan will be exposed. Even those they can trust are unwilling to join, after all, the casualties are very high compared to vicious and violent organizations like the Revival Society.

"The Body of the Demon Star is our Tsuchimikado family heirloom, and I may not be able to make the decision." Tsuchimikado Sane sighed, looking really embarrassed.

"There is nothing in the world that is not for sale, only prices or things that do not meet expectations." Hanyu Shingen smiled and stroked his beard, "For example, friendship can be exchanged for love, hehe."

Tsuchimikado Sachika's face froze, knowing that the other party was referring to the matter between him and Fushimi Kana.

"Just make the request, but you must bring the body of the demon star with you." Seeing the other party's expression change, Hanyu Shingen restrained his smile and continued, "Now follow me."

"Well, you have to agree to one of my requests." Tsuchimikado Sanochika knew that he could not keep the body of the demon star, so he planned to put forward conditions.

Hanyu Shingen reopened the window and said, "Go ahead."

Seeing the other party's frank behavior, Tsuchimikado Sachika stood up and said, "One of you Hanyu family will come to our side to become an Onmyoji and become my daughter's apprentice."

"There's more than one, right?" Hanyu Shingen smiled and stroked his beard. "You're also interested in Kirikiri Kumoori, right? You're even considering Kurotori Hanayo, right?"

Tsuchimikado Sanochika remained silent.

There is no successor to the Onmyoji Bureau, and only his daughter can barely contract three spiritual weapons. The rest are either giving up or contracting two is already the limit.

Therefore, absorbing young people from the outside world is the best choice. Anyway, the Onmyoji has been wandering for a long time and no longer attaches as much importance to bloodline as in ancient times. It cares more about... family interests and inheritance!

"I will help you contact and persuade those people. Ye Yue... should learn something." Hanyu Shingen turned around and said, "As for the public reward... I will help you a lot and will not let you suffer any loss."

When Tsuchimikado Sachika heard the other party say this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the body of the demon star was forced to be handed over, some interests were guaranteed by Shingen Hanyu. As long as nothing happened to the other party, their interests were guaranteed.

⑵ I should have made a deal with that little girl from the imperial concubine's palace earlier.

⑼He said this with regret.

０乧A gentle breeze blew over the emerald green lake in the shrine, causing ripples.

⑷The lake is not big and is an artificial lake. On both sides are gray stone rockeries with overlapping peaks. Around the rockeries, cherry trees and various trees are planted, adding a touch of beauty to the area around the shrine.

⑶On the lake, broad green lotus leaves spread out like a treasure plate, dotted with pink and white flower buds. Golden and orange carp play in the lake, occasionally poking their heads out of the water to eat the fish food on the lake surface.

⑸A middle-aged shrine maiden wearing pine-leaf colored hakama took back the fish food bag in her hand and said, "That's all for today. Go back and tell my mother that everything is fine at the shrine, and tonight is no exception."

⑹“Understood, Lord Palace Master.” An assistant priestess beside her nodded and turned away.

⑷ Fushimi Kana nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at the others and asked, "How are the four children?"

"Your Excellency, everyone is changing in the dressing room." A shrine maiden from the main family stepped forward and answered.

Fushimi Kana thought for a moment, then turned around and said, "They should be ready by now. Let's go to the corridor and wait for them."

The other priestesses were all shocked when they heard this. Normally, if an ordinary person just changed his clothes and went out, he would be surprised and scared to see so many people looking at him. Therefore, this behavior was very impolite and seemed to be a show of intimidation to others.

"Some jades cannot be touched or knocked because they are already mature or old jades, while some jades need to be roughly processed and carved, and need to be knocked and touched." Fushimi Kana said as she walked, "Because they are new jades, they need to be tested for color."

Many of the shrine maidens looked at each other in bewilderment, but still followed. They also wanted to see the four trainee shrine maidens who had caught the attention of the priestess and Hanyu Miho.

"I heard another Hanyu family came in." Someone muttered at the marching position.

"Oh, I know. They're the fifth daughter of the Hanyu family. They're lively and cute, and they're standard beauties." Someone was well-informed.

"I heard there is a female kendo genius who is very powerful and as beautiful as an ancient man. She is very cool." A witch said with drooling eyes.

"I like the one with chestnut hair. She is pretty and has a childish face. You can tell at first glance that she is the youngest and the best behaved one." An elderly witch said with a smile.

"Speaking of the youngest, as I remember... the shrine maiden named Himiya Mingxue is the youngest."

"Huh? Is that so? I think she's very pretty, but she usually looks so cold."

"Cold and icy... Others call her the Red Lotus Priestess. Hmm... She looks quite innocent, but her personality makes people want to conquer her."

……

Everyone was talking at once, but the leader, Kana Fushimi, did not say anything to stop them, and seemed to be deliberately letting them go.

Although their shrine has reached a cooperation with Ming Xue and others, there are also official representatives coming with them today.

This would have been nothing, as all forces were bound to come into contact with official forces, but in the end the one who accompanied them was Fifteen, who represented Tokyo.

This made the Inari Shrine's top management feel puzzled and unhappy with Ming Xue and others. They had a bad impression of the Tokyo Investigation Headquarters to begin with, there was the "Investigation Bureau layoffs" incident in the distant past, and the Tokyo review after the "Kyoto Riot" recently.

Therefore, Inari Shrine is very wary of people from the Tokyo headquarters, and even a little disgusted.

But the shrine also knew that Mingxue and others were being used by the Tokyo headquarters. However, although they understood it, if you are working with the Tokyo headquarters, the shrine must make a clear statement. So they asked Mingxue and the other three to fulfill the previous cooperation requirements, put on shrine maiden costumes and play the role of assistant shrine maidens to put pressure on Fifteen.

Of course, the most important thing is to test Mingxue's strength, because the battle will start tonight, and knowing the strength of teammates is also a guarantee.

Crunch!

As they walked into the corridor, the door of the dressing room was pushed open.

Fushimi Kana stopped and put her hands behind her back.

The priestesses who were originally whispering stopped and looked towards the locker room following their chief priest's gaze.

"Hmm, I didn't expect this miko costume would suit me so well."

A shrine maiden with two ponytails walked out of the locker room. She looked like a lily of the valley in the warm spring sun, bright and lovely.

Coupled with her petite figure, she looks like an elf in a lily of the valley floral skirt. The red hakama sways gently with her steps, making her look playful and cute, yet sacred and elegant.

When she saw that the people on the corridor were not surprised, but smiled and greeted the witches, she felt extremely warm and friendly. Just like when she bumped into a girl next door and greeted her on weekdays, she didn't feel disgusted at all.

"It's Kirigiri Kumoori, right? Come, come and take a look at me." Fushimi Kana smiled and waved to Kumoori who was the first to go out.

She knew that the other party was most likely from the Fujiwara family in Tokyo, but she didn't hate him because he was not a scheming person after all.

"Yun Zhi, who are you talking to?"

At this time, a girl in a shrine maiden's costume walked out of the locker room.

Her short hair is like a waterfall, refreshing and capable, and her eyes reveal an unruly handsomeness.

It's like a breeze in midsummer, bringing a hint of coolness.

She wore a loose shrine maiden costume, which made her look thinner and taller, and her brown amber eyes exuded her heroic charm.

She was like a blooming sunflower, growing towards the sun no matter when and where. Her handsomeness and charm made her look like a handsome man in ancient times, making the assistant witches in the corridors blush and look around in awe.

Hanayo was not stupid. When he saw the scene, he realized something was wrong. He looked again and found Fushimi Kana surrounded by the shrine maidens. He quickly pulled the ignorant Hazuki to bow to Fushimi Kana.

"Greetings, Lord Palace Administrator." Hua Yang shouted loudly.

"Well, she is quite sensible. As expected of Kuroto Kusaku's granddaughter, she is a swordsman." Fushimi Kana nodded, then waved to Yunzhi and Hanayo. ⑥

Hua Yang hesitated for a moment, sighed imperceptibly, and then pulled Yun Zhi forward.

Fushimi Kana smiled and patted the two's heads, but her eyes turned to the locker room.

Although she was satisfied with the performance of these two people, the truly important person had not yet come out.

With a creak, Ye Yue, who had changed into her shrine maiden costume, walked out of the room, walked straight to Fushimi Kana, bowed and saluted, and then saluted the shrine maidens behind her.

"I am honored to meet you, Lord Palace Master. Grandpa asked me to learn more from you and make contributions to our Kyoto." After she finished her greetings, she raised her head and smiled at Fushimi Kana.

Earlier in the locker room, she heard Huayang's call. Although she didn't like to think, she knew that the other party was reminding her and Mingxue to pay attention.

Therefore, as soon as she came out, she hurried to pay her respects and flatter him to avoid being criticized. After all, with Mingxue and Huayang's pointers along the way, she already knew the reason behind Mr. Fifteen, and they had slightly offended the Inari Shrine.

"As expected of Lord Shingen's granddaughter, she is just like a purple lily, gentle and elegant." Fushimi Kana Hazuki. Although she is innocent and naive, she has made excellent progress in her studies and has a beautiful appearance, which makes people feel happy.

Ye Yue has a beautiful black side ponytail and her purple eyes are clear and bright, like a mysterious amethyst, as if they can reflect the depths of people's hearts.

The smile on her face was a bit shy and fearful, and her pretended strength seemed to melt people's hearts instantly. Although her gesture was stiff and rigid, it inadvertently revealed the elegance of aristocratic children and a noble temperament.

Even the loose shrine maiden's costume could not conceal her graceful figure. She was like a blooming purple lily, pure and elegant, making people unable to help but take a few more glances at her and deeply intoxicated by her.

"Hey, I still remember one, I think her name was Himiya Akiyuki?" Kana Fushimi pretended to remember something and asked the three girls in front of her with a smile.

The three girls were all startled.

Because they knew Mingxue was a boy, when she was changing clothes in the locker room, the three of them implicitly agreed that Mingxue should go to the inner compartment of the locker room to change into the shrine maiden costume.

"Sorry, I was sweating from walking earlier, so I went to the bathroom in the locker room to wash up."

At this moment, a clear and pleasant voice came from the locker room. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the locker room door was pushed open again, and a beautiful witch walked out of the locker room.

It was Mingxue who had changed into a shrine maiden's costume.

She was like a white lotus in a summer pond, fresh and pure. Her long hair fluttered gently in the breeze in the corridor, and the water drops on her face were like dewdrops on lotus leaves, crystal clear, slowly sliding down her icy skin and falling into her reverie collarbone.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, with the moisture of just taking a bath, and her eyes were as deep as the sea, peaceful and gentle, as if they could attract people's souls into them.
