Haruhiko looked at Bai Shuang.
Bai Shuang lowered his head.
For a moment, there was quite silence and embarrassment.
To be honest, if she denied it immediately, Haruhiko would definitely be shaken.
But being so hesitant now only further confirmed his suspicion.
Just why?
According to Bai Shuang, she followed him in order to seek a breakthrough in practice.
She is already at the fifth level, can she advance further?
In the current game setting, the sixth level belongs to the world of gods.
Of course, there are weak and strong gods.
I guess there are subdivisions above.
"Aunt Dongyu."
Haruhiko chuckled and asked, "You don't have to pretend like this, right?"
"it's me."
Jinguji Fuyu turned around, her back to him, and one of her tails drooped slightly, expressing her emotions.
Even with her cold personality, it would be difficult for her to admit it in person and treat it indifferently.
Haruhiko let out a breath.
He really didn't expect Bai Shuang to be Jinguji Fuyu.
Because it didn't fit his impression at all.
It's like a fairy from heaven descended to earth and ended up living on the streets as a beggar.
Quite dreamy and unreal.
Haruhiko finally understood the reason why Toyo Jinguji was not there during the previous visits to Inari Shrine.
It turned out to be at home.
It's normal that Xue Ji and others didn't recognize her.
She is the fifth level, and it is too easy to disguise herself.
"Let's leave."
Jinguji Toyu raised his eyes and said calmly, "Return to the ground."
This is the ruins of Takamagahara, and even she cannot teleport away.
Haruhiko couldn't help but smile.
She looked like she was back to normal, but she wasn't.
Because she still maintains the image of a white fox, not that she has restored her human form.
Haruhiko thought for a while but didn't expose it.
He took out his mobile phone and contacted the captain of the ninth team, Takahashi Kisaragi.
She is an undercover agent of the Tsuchimikado clan and is relatively safe.
Moreover, the location of Snake Spirit's lair has been determined, so he must repay the favor.
Just take this opportunity to tell Tachibana Yui that Morikawa Teru has the spirit of Yamata no Orochi in his body.
I actually wanted to say it before, but couldn't find a suitable excuse.
"Haruhiko?"
Takahashi Kisaragi's rather surprised voice came out.
Being able to get through the phone means that Haruhiko is at the Takamagahara ruins.
But she didn't receive the notification.
Neither the Edo Archaeological Bureau nor the Tsuchimikado clan has it.
This means that he came down privately.
"it's me."
Haruhiko explained, "I was caught by the snake spirit on the second floor of the Takamagahara ruins, and I just managed to escape."
"What?!"
Takahashi Kisaragi went from surprised to shocked.
"I'm not far from the Snake Spirit's lair now."
Haruhiko continued, "If you move quickly, you can probably intercept them."
"Wait for me where you are and don't act without permission."
Takahashi Kisaragi hung up the phone.
Haruhiko sent her a location.
Most of the second floor has been explored, so there is a map in the Edo Archaeological Bureau section of the Ogosho software.
While waiting, Haruhiko looked at Jinguji Fuyu at his feet.
Because she was in the form of a white fox, it was difficult for him to observe her expression.
But it can be seen from her tail that she is a little restless.
After all, losing one's waistcoat is probably equivalent to social death.
"Aunt Dongyu, you said before that I could help you practice, how can I help you?"
Haruhiko asked.
You can't be the same as Xue Ji, right?
Ahem.
In fact, it is not impossible.
Jinguji Fuyu is very kind to him.
It's not a big problem to let him sacrifice.
"..."
Jinguji Fuyu was silent for a few seconds and said, "Emotions."
"emotion?"
When Haruhiko heard the unexpected answer, he couldn't help but wonder, "What do you mean?"
"I have no human feelings."
Jinguji Fuyu explained, "The advancement of psykers requires a test of state of mind. The sixth level is the area of gods. If you want to become a god, you must have a deep understanding of human beings."
Incense?
Haruhiko suddenly thought of these two words.
Because there are too many shrines in Japan.
Shrines, like temples, are designed to gather incense.
In fact, the Japanese gods are indeed active.
Jinguji Fuyu's statement should be correct.
Her previous personality was too cold.
Incarnate as white frost and get close to yourself, you can indeed understand human beings more clearly.
"Emotions?"
Haruhiko thought thoughtfully and said, "I should be able to help."
Human emotions are many.
Jinguji Fuyu seemed to be an ascetic at this time.
All he has to do is liberate her nature.
"Thanks."
Jinguji Fuyu raised his tail slightly when he heard this.
She didn't expect this answer.
Because she didn’t even know where to start.
"Then Aunt Dongyu, let's change back first."
Haruhiko clapped his hands and said with some anticipation.
"..."
Jinguji Fuyu was a little surprised.
"Embarrassment and embarrassment are also emotions."
Haruhiko explained with a smile.
Jinguji Toyu was slightly startled when he heard this.
This seems to be the case.
When she thought of this, she suddenly felt a lot calmer.
A pink light flashed.
A figure appeared.
Her long pink hair was tied together and fell to her thighs.
On the delicate and cold face, there is a pair of seductive fox eyes.
The bulging red and white miko costume perfectly showed off her curvy figure.
The high-slit skirt exposed her long, fair legs and her bare feet wearing clogs.
While bearing the weight of the body, Linglong's toes exerted slight force, revealing their pink color.
Although Haruhiko has seen it many times, he always finds it quite amazing.
"What now?"
Jinguji Fuyu tilted his head slightly and asked.
"How do you feel?"
Haruhiko was stunned for a moment and asked.
"No feelings."
Jinguji Fuyu thought for a while and said.
Have you gotten over the embarrassment so quickly?
Haruhiko secretly thought it was very troublesome.
Jinguji Fuyu adjusted too quickly.
Even the emotion of social death cannot last long.
"How about telling Aunt Xue Ji about this when we get back?"
Haruhiko asked abruptly.
"no."
Jinguji Toyu's body trembled and he subconsciously refused.
She and Xue Ji have been together for many years. They are not only best friends, but also friends.
She naturally didn't want to experience this kind of embarrassment in front of acquaintances.
"How does this feel?"
Haruhiko saw a rare nervous expression on her face, and suddenly felt an irritating feeling.
"..."
Jinguji Fuyu suddenly understood that he was scaring him just now.
But it is undeniable that it does have some effects.
"very funny."
Jinguji Toyu closed his eyes, and after a moment of realization, he said.
"That's good."
Haruhiko raised his eyebrows and said.
He also found it very interesting.
"continue."
Jinguji Fuyu opened his eyes again and said.
"..."
Haruhiko felt a little stuck for a moment.
"Isn't it possible?"
Jinguji Toyu looked cold and said, "I feel there is still a lot to be done."
Haruhiko had a question mark on his face.
He felt himself hit hard.
hateful!
At this moment, his mind was running wildly.
"Someone."
Jinguji Fuyu reminded.
"Aunt Dongyu, you turn back into a white fox."
Haruhiko suddenly thought of a way.
Jinguji Fuyu glanced at him, a little confused, but still did as he was told.
The white fox reappears.
"Aunt Dongyu, don't move."
Haruhiko bent down and picked her up. Seeing that she was struggling, he said, "Carefully feel the feeling."
Jinguji Fuyuu immediately became well-behaved when he heard this.
hey-hey!
Satisfied, Haruhiko hugged her body with his right hand and gently stroked her head with his left hand.
The cat petting plan finally succeeded.
good.
Furry is comfortable.
Jinguji Fuyu frowned slightly.
It was the first time she had someone touch her body, and she seemed extremely uncomfortable.
The fifth level of super perception allowed her to clearly feel the temperature coming from Haruhiko.
The only good thing is that her tail was not touched.
"Haruhiko!"
Takahashi Kisaragi's voice came first, followed by a gust of wind, "Are you okay?"
She is quite aware of the attitudes of Tsuchimikado Mashiro and Tsuchimikado Mari.
If something happened to Haruhiko in the Takamagahara ruins, she herself would not be able to escape punishment.
"I'm fine."
Haruhiko shook his head and asked, "Are you the only one coming here?"
"Um."
Takahashi Kisaragi replied, "Because we can't explain to the Edo Archaeological Bureau why you were targeted by the snake spirit, we have to find another reason."
"I see."
Haruhiko understood.
He is just an ordinary member of the Edo Archaeological Bureau.
At most, he is Chiyome's apprentice.
"Let's just say that you and I went out to explore the ruins, accidentally discovered members of the Snake Spirit, and tracked them all the way here."
Takahashi Kisaragi has obviously thought ahead.
"no problem."
Haruhiko nodded and said.
Takahashi Kisaragi glanced at the white fox in his arms, without asking any questions, took out his cell phone and started making a call.
A moment later, a figure landed on the ground, it was Kaneda Xiong, the director of the Edo Archaeological Bureau.
"take me."
He spoke without any nonsense.
Haruhiko and Takahashi Kisaragi walked in front and soon arrived at the Snake Spirit's lair.
But now it was deserted.
"Trace of space spell."
Kaneda Xiong looked around and said, "They should have left after they were discovered by you."
"In such a hurry, maybe something valuable will be left behind."
Takahashi Kisaragi guessed.
"Um."
Kaneda Xiong lost interest and said, "You lead the team to clean up and report to me afterwards."
He turned and left.
Such a style can be called vigorous and resolute.
"Captain, I want to return to the ground as soon as possible."
Haruhiko said with some worry, "They will definitely be very worried if I disappear suddenly."
"I see."
Takahashi Ruyue nodded and said, "You are lucky, you can go back today."
Haruhiko breathed a sigh of relief.
He couldn't imagine how Tsuchimikado Mari, Tachibana Yui and Yukihime would react if they disappeared for several days.
Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for them to guess that he would be transported to the ruins of Takamagahara.
Takahashi Kisaragi made a call and asked the members of Team 9 to come and deal with it.
She took Haruhiko to the teleportation array.
Half an hour later, one person and one fox returned to the ground.
Haruhiko's cell phone rang immediately.
He had been missing for almost three hours.
The first call was from Kaoru Aizawa.
Haruhiko explained the situation to her and she apologized guiltily.
At that time, she had similar thoughts, thinking that it was very safe at the University of Tokyo.
Unexpectedly, Suiryusuke would really dare to take action.
Of course, what surprised her even more was that he was actually a member of the Snake Spirit.
"I'll take care of it."
Kaoru Aizawa hung up the phone.
Haruhiko opened the Dagosho software and found that his previous commission had been completed.
He was slightly startled. Was it Kaneda-o's arrangement?
Theoretically, he did not actually catch Matsushita Takashi's murderer.
But that’s fine.
Haruhiko was able to get a third-level psychic material for free.
"Can you put me down?"
Jinguji Toyu suddenly asked.
"Aunt Dongyu, do you want to go home in your true form?"
Haruhiko was unmoved and even rubbed her head a few more times.
"..."
Jinguji Fuyu was silent.
She turned her head away and said no more.
The corners of Haruhiko's mouth curled up slightly.
It's getting more and more interesting.
He thought for a while and sent a message to Tsuchimikado Mari.
Not long after, a red car appeared in front of him.
The car window rolled down, revealing that stunning face.
"Sister Mari."
Haruhiko came forward and said hello.
"Did you take Yu Yao to school today?"
Tsuchimikado Mahri rolled her eyes and asked curiously.
"I went to make a commission."
Haruhiko opened the rear door and put down the white fox.
He himself sat in the passenger seat.
"went well?"
Tsuchimikado Marri asked casually.
Because it was only a third-level commission, Haruhiko had not told her before.
It's not necessary after all.
I just didn't expect it to be a snake spirit trap.
“It didn’t go well, but it was very rewarding.”
Haruhiko said with a chuckle.
"What's the catch?"
Tsuchimikado Mari noticed his expression and said, "I see you are in a good mood."
"I was captured by the snake spirit and captured the ruins of Takamagahara."
Haruhiko turned to look at her and said.
"What?"
Mari Tsuchimikado suddenly stopped the car.
Haruhiko roughly told the story of the incident.
But he went away to Jinguji Temple.
I just said that I was lucky enough to escape.
"The guy who doesn't know how to live or die!"
Tsuchimikado Marri's brows rose, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
This time the snake spirit's actions completely angered her.
"Sister Mari."
Haruhiko stretched out his hand, gently touched her soft face, and said with a smile, "You don't look good when you are angry."
"From now on, whenever you go out, come with me."
Tsuchimikado Mari held his hand tightly and said without paying attention to his teasing.
"It's not that exaggerated."
Haruhiko shook his head and said, "Did you forget the ring you gave me? I haven't used it yet this time."
Tsuchimikado Mari stared at him without saying a word.
The next moment, she came forward, their lips touched each other, and began to educate her verbally.
Haruhiko was suddenly unable to speak, suffering from her anger.
He believed that if there hadn't been a white fox, it would have been more than just kissing.
Maybe it was hard for him to get out of the car normally.
Jinguji Toyu raised his eyes and looked at them with a little confusion in his eyes.
What does it feel like to kiss?
Why do Tsuchimikado Mari and Yukihime like each other?
Jinguji Fuyu fell into a trance.
After a long time, Haruhiko was finally able to breathe fresh air.
"If something happens again next time, I won't listen to you."
Tsuchimikado Marri turned her head and said calmly.
The red car restarts.
Haruhiko licked the corner of his mouth.
Well, it also smells like lipstick.
He looked at Tsuchimikado Mari.
Under that cold side face were dim red lips.
"Sister Mari."
Haruhiko smiled and said, "Your lipstick needs to be touched up."
Tsuchimikado Mari rolled her eyes at him.
The tight feeling finally disappeared.
Haruhiko breathed a sigh of relief.
The red car soon arrived in front of Tachibana Yui's mansion.
"Help me make up for it."
Tsuchimikado Mari took out a lipstick and said.
"Let me try."
Haruhiko looked at her thin and soft lips and raised his hand.
He can't put on lipstick, but he is a third-level demon body and has good control, with no hand shaking.
"Okay."
Haruhiko returned the lipstick to her.
"good."
Mari Tsuchimikado took out the makeup mirror and looked at it, nodded slightly, and said, "Don't bring your demon in."
Haruhiko was stunned and immediately understood the reason.
The true form of Tsuchimikado Mashiro.
He got out of the car, went to the back seat, and picked up Jinguji Fuyu.
The white fox was in his arms, neither making any noise nor fussing, and was extremely quiet.
After Tsuchimikado Mari went to the underground garage, Haruhiko said, "Aunt Toumikado, I can only trouble you to go back first."
Jinguji Toyu jumped to the ground, turned around and walked out without any answer.
"Aunt Mashiro."
Haruhiko opened the door, took off his shoes, and came to the living room.
"Why is it so early today?"
Tachibana Yui straightened up, looked at her, and asked, "Have you had lunch?"
"not yet."
Haruhiko sat opposite her and said, "I went to do a commission today."
He then told the story again.
Tachibana Yui immediately jumped off the sofa and ran to him in an instant.
"Are you hurt?"
She reached out her hand and touched his head.
A stream of spiritual energy travels.
"..."
Haruhiko suspected that she did it on purpose, so he rubbed her hair a few times.
"I'm checking you out!"
Tachibana Yui suddenly pouted and glared.
"oh."
Haruhiko withdrew his hand without changing his expression and said, "I'm fine."
Just then, the door opened again.
It's Tsuchimikado Mahri.
Tachibana Yui immediately took a few steps back and sat on the sofa again.
It was as if what just happened didn't happen.
Tsuchimikado Mari glanced at her and immediately realized that she was pretending to be calm.
But she didn't ask and sat next to Haruhiko.
"I got a message from the snake spirit."
When Haruhiko saw everyone gathered, he asked, "Do you know about spirit separation?"
"Split spirit?"
Tachibana Yui looked puzzled and asked, "Are you talking about the splitting of souls in soul-type spells?"
"almost."
Haruhiko nodded and said, "There is a branch spirit in Morikawa Teru's body."
"Whose?"
Tachibana Yui crossed her arms and said, "The side effects of soul splitting are too great. Logically speaking, few people will use it."
"God."
Haruhiko took a deep breath and said.
Tachibana Yui and Tsuchimikado Mari were stunned at the same time, and then a feeling like an electric shock surged through their bodies.
If this is true, then Teru Morikawa's value can be said to have skyrocketed.
"The spirit of the gods."
Tachibana Yui came back to her senses, a look of surprise appeared on her face, "No wonder the snake spirit mobilized so many people."
"Is there any way to detect it?"
Although Suiryusuke proved it, Haruhiko couldn't be sure.
"If it's just a spiritual distraction, it should be fine."
Tachibana Yui thought for a moment and said, "Previously our direction was to let Morikawa Teru speak, but now we can turn to the soul aspect."
"Don't worry, no one knows more about the study of gods than us."
Tsuchimikado Mari said calmly.
Haruhiko looked at her in surprise.
What is the study of gods?
Isn’t it only found in the Takamagahara ruins?
"I'll tell you later."
Tsuchimikado Mari looked at each other and said.
Five thousand words.
