Time flies and it's next week.
It's late December and New Year's Day is not far away.
In the past few days, Haruhiko mainly practiced the Snow Girl Breathing Technique, Fisherman's Song Night Fire, and a fourth-level spell.
Swordsman Luo Ying, his spiritual energy turns into cherry blossom-shaped sword energy, causing large-scale damage.
Because fourth-level spells consume too much spiritual energy, Haruhiko won't learn too many at the moment. He can just learn one or two and use them as ultimate moves.
a new day.
Haruhiko opened his eyes.
Today he was going to the ruins of Nyotengu, so he didn't sleep in.
Although he had a fierce battle last night, he was still in good spirits.
Xue Ji is measured and never fishes without drying up the lake.
Haruhiko stood up and put on his clothes.
In the living room, Xue Ji has prepared breakfast.
After seeing his figure, he smiled and said hello.
Haruhiko looked away, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then came to the dining table.
Xue Ji was wearing suspender pajamas. She held her chin in her hands and looked straight at him, not hiding the deep affection in her eyes.
Haruhiko glanced back and was attracted by her shaky pajamas.
I have to say, the pajamas are of good quality.
He remembered that Xue Ji had bought this pajamas for a long time and still hadn't retired.
Haruhiko shifted his gaze and looked at today's breakfast.
It's bread.
But no fresh milk was prepared.
He raised his eyebrows, already knowing Xue Ji's little thoughts.
Haruhiko picked up the bread and took a bite.
Because Xue Ji made it herself, it tastes much better than the ones bought outside.
And it's clean and hygienic.
Of course, fresh milk is even more so.
Xue Ji stood up and sat next to him.
She raised her head, her ice blue eyes were as tender as water. She picked up a glass of fresh milk with both hands and brought it to Haruhiko's mouth.
A few minutes later, Haruhiko finished eating and drinking and exhaled.
"Go early and come back early."
Xue Ji reached out and touched his head and said softly.
"Um."
Haruhiko helped her adjust her pajamas and said, "I can do it."
"Await your return."
Xue Ji's delicate face turned slightly red and she said.
Haruhiko retracted his hands, stood up and left.
At the door of the house, Tsuchimikado Mari was already waiting.
The red car is quite eye-catching.
"Sister Mari, good morning."
Haruhiko said with a smile while sitting in the passenger seat.
"What a rich aroma."
Tsuchimikado Mahri sniffed it and said, "The Coconut Sheep clan is really good. No wonder you like Yukiji so much."
"I like you too."
Haruhiko already understood her character, so he opened his mouth.
"Learn quickly."
The corners of Tsuchimikado Mari's lips curled up slightly, and she said with emotion, "You will soon surpass me as a teacher."
"I will repay Teacher Mari well."
Haruhiko blinked and said, "I promise."
"Humph, you are very proud now."
Tsuchimikado Mari understood his hint, licked the corner of her mouth and said, "Don't cry then."
Haruhiko gasped.
I seemed a little carried away just now.
Before he was strong enough, he offended the fifth-level demon.
It's broken, something is going to happen.
The red car left the University of Tokyo.
"Where are we going?"
Haruhiko looked out the window and asked.
This is obviously not the direction to Tachibana Yui's mansion, nor is it the route to Shimane Prefecture.
The remains of the Nyotengu Tennimei Teeth are in Ohara County, Shimane Prefecture.
It is relatively far from Tokyo and is suitable for flying.
It is worth mentioning that Izumo Shrine is also in Shimane Prefecture.
But it was in Izumo City.
Haruhiko was thinking about whether he should stop by to see Hoshino Rin and Hoshino Hotaru after the incident was over.
"Go to the Tsuchimikado Hotel."
Tsuchimikado Marri explained, "There is a space teleportation array set up there."
"I see."
Haruhiko nodded.
With the teleportation array, it is naturally more time-saving than an airplane.
Not long after, the red car stopped.
This is not Haruhiko's first visit to Tsuchimikado Hotel.
I had eaten here before when I went out to the amusement park with Tachibana Yui.
After parking the car, the two people walked into the hotel.
All the way up, Tsuchimikado Mari finally stopped.
She opened the door and saw Mashiro Tsuchimikado sitting on the sofa.
Wearing a traditional kimono and a golden veil, her red hair reaches her waist. When she looks up, she can see the tear mole in the corner of her eye.
Even sitting down, it gives the impression of being extremely tall.
Haruhiko's eyes flashed with surprise.
Every time he sees it, it makes him feel emotional.
Such a figure should not exist in this world.
But then I thought about it, it was a man-made substitute, so that was indeed excusable.
"Aunt Mashiro."
Haruhiko said hello.
"Um."
Tsuchimikado Mashiro stood up.
At nearly two meters tall, she looks quite oppressive.
She lowered her head slightly and raised the corners of her mouth. This body made her regain her confidence.
Haruhiko, who was usually unattainable, was now more than ten centimeters shorter than her.
"Have you got a meal yet?"
Tsuchimikado Mashiro asked.
There was an excitement in his tone that couldn't be concealed.
"Already eaten."
Haruhiko was used to her appearance.
To sum up, the weather cleared and she was fine again.
The substitutes are all fake.
You can't control it.
Why don't you let me do it?
Haruhiko looked at the oversized headlights above his head and sighed.
"Then let's go."
Tsuchimikado Mashiro stretched out his hand and rubbed Haruhiko's head.
Without giving him a chance to speak, he turned around and entered the deep room.
Inside is a large teleportation array.
There are all kinds of traps around.
Haruhiko followed Tsuchimikado Mashiro, and this was the only time he was in danger.
If someone breaks in rashly, they must go out sideways.
the reason is simple.
Teleportation arrays, generally speaking, will be set up in multiple locations.
Some locations are even more secrets of the Tsuchimikado clan.
It cannot be used casually.
"When you get to the ruins, always stand between me and Mari."
Tsuchimikado Mashiro ordered.
The ruins have been initially inspected to determine their danger.
Especially for the third-level Haruhiko, it was a narrow escape.
But if there are two fifth-level psychics protecting him, it won't be a big problem, it will be just like going home.
"I see."
Haruhiko answered immediately.
Others are men on the left and right, but he is a woman on the left and right.
Naturally, you can’t miss this kind of treatment.
"Don't worry too much."
Tsuchimikado Mari chuckled lightly, leaned over and blew into his ear, saying, "When in danger, I will protect you."
Haruhiko's body stiffened slightly.
what's wrong with you?
Are you willing to die if you are so close?
He subconsciously looked at Tsuchimikado Mashiro.
But what greeted him was a rich spiritual light that filled his sight.
It was the teleportation array that was activated.
So did Tsuchimikado Mashiro notice it?
Haruhiko closed his eyes.
During the short space shuttle, he was suddenly startled.
Because there was a soft touch on my mouth.
It's Tsuchimikado Mahri.
Haruhiko recognized it by the smell of lipstick.
When he opened his eyes again, that feeling had disappeared.
He subconsciously looked at Tsuchimikado Mari.
She licked the corners of her mouth, her eyes full of provocation.
There was a click.
Haruhiko quickly turned his head and saw cracks on the ground under Tsuchimikado Mashiro's feet.
"There's something wrong with the transmission."
Tsuchimikado Mashiro said calmly, "Mari, please make a call and have someone repair it."
"Fortunately, there was no problem during the transmission."
Tsuchimikado Mahri glanced at it, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said.
Haruhiko was slightly startled.
He always felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Could it be that Tsuchimikado Mashiro found out?
But if so, the reaction seems strange.
Tsuchimikado Mashiro said nothing more.
She opened the room and walked outside.
"What are you thinking about?"
Tsuchimikado Mari pinched his face.
The tone became normal again.
"Don't do this next time, it will scare people to death."
Haruhiko complained.
"I'm just helping you improve your mental quality."
Tsuchimikado Mari touched the corner of his mouth with her finger and said.
"..."
Haruhiko was helpless.
He now doesn't know whether Tsuchimikado Mashiro already knows.
But it was hard for him to envision this scene.
Tsuchimikado Mahri is Tsuchimikado Mashiro's shikigami after all.
What kind of behavior is it if you do this yourself?
"He has a thief's heart but not his courage."
Tsuchimikado Marri curled her lips and asked, "Don't you have any thoughts about the master?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
Haruhiko coughed slightly and changed the subject, "Let's go out first to avoid Aunt Mashiro's suspicion."
The corners of Tsuchimikado Mari's lips curled up, with an expression of interest on her face.
She really wanted to see that scene.
Mashiro Tsuchimikado will be very interesting then.
Haruhiko left the room and found that the location they were in was a hotel.
Judging from the layout, it is almost the same as the previous Tsuchimikado Hotel.
"Is this Izumo City?"
Haruhiko noticed the sign on the street and was startled.
"There is Izumo Shrine in Izumo City."
Mashiro Tsuchimikado has been waiting at the door for a while.
She had a clear view of everything Tsuchimikado Mari had done before.
Therefore, I was angry just now.
This shikigami is really getting more and more outrageous.
But I don’t know why, besides being angry, I also have an inexplicable feeling.
"Izumo Shrine is the number one shrine in Japan, and the Tsuchimikado clan is the number one onmyoji family in Japan. There are many contacts between the two."
Tsuchimikado Mashiro took a deep breath and said.
"Aunt Mashiro, don't you have a conflict with Izumo Shrine?"
Haruhiko was stunned and asked in confusion.
"I have a conflict with Hoshino Aoi, not Izumo Shrine."
Tsuchimikado Mashiro said without caring.
Haruhiko raised his eyebrows.
Does your wealthy family have to make things so complicated?
Sure enough, he made the right choice to be the man behind Utsunomiya Mina.
He couldn't handle this mess.
Just do it from behind.
"Master of the house."
While the three people were waiting, a red car drove up and stopped in front of them.
Stepping out of the driver's seat was Ayaka Tsuchimikado.
The fourth-level Onmyoji, Tsuchimikado Mashiro's confidant.
Haruhiko had met her several times before.
"Here's the gas mask you requested."
Tsuchimikado Ayaka took out three masks and handed them to them.
The mask is only the lower half, just covering the nose and mouth.
After Haruhiko took it, he immediately put it on.
Anyway, we are leaving soon.
"Master, please come in."
Mari Tsuchimikado put away her mask, opened the rear door and said.
Mashiro Tsuchimikado bent down and got into the car.
To be honest, her current body seemed a bit cramped when entering this kind of car.
"little Master."
A faint smile appeared on Tsuchimikado Mari's face, "Are you going to drive? Or sit in the passenger seat?"
"..."
Haruhiko simply ignored the first half of her sentence.
Driving in front of Tsuchimikado Mashiro would cause big trouble.
He opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.
"Ayaka, you are responsible for the surroundings of the ruins and don't let anyone disturb you."
After giving instructions, Tsuchimikado Mari got into the car.
The red car started and headed north.
The bustling and clean streets on both sides gradually evolved into remote and quiet mountain roads.
Finally the red car stopped in front of a mountain.
It is said to be a mountain, but it is more like a mountainous area.
In the field of vision, there are three mountains scattered scatteredly.
Further away, it's not so clear.
After Tsuchimikado Mari casually placed a barrier on the red car, the three of them walked inside.
Because the place had been cleared, no one else was seen.
Until their destination, a valley.
The poisonous gas has condensed into a heavy fog, shrouding the entire vicinity.
And at the edge, there is no grass growing.
The ground was eroded with black traces.
Haruhiko subconsciously held his breath.
But I quickly remembered that I was wearing a gas mask, so it wasn’t a big problem.
But is it useful to only protect the nose and mouth?
Just when he was confused, Tsuchimikado Mashiro had already walked in first.
As the light flashed, the mask on her face formed a thin shield, completely blocking out the poisonous gas.
Haruhiko saw this and followed him.
Tsuchimikado Mari walked last.
Three people form a column.
Haruhiko looked around.
The fog was heavy and visibility was extremely low.
Psychic energy appeared in his eyes, but he still couldn't see too far.
Haruhiko gave up quickly. If he had this time, he might as well admire Tsuchimikado Mashiro in front of him.
She didn't walk very fast, and her kimono was tightly wrapped.
But the twisting hips and plump back are really pleasing to the eye.
Tsuchimikado Mashiro's face was slightly stiff.
With her strength, she could naturally detect Haruhiko's gaze.
Probably because of his usual habits, his eyes seemed a bit unscrupulous.
Tsuchimikado Mashiro quickly thought of a not-so-good picture.
Fortunately, this one is a stand-in and can perfectly control his reactions.
He won't blush easily like his main body.
Tsuchimikado Mashiro bit his lip.
Doesn't this guy know how to restrain himself?
Do you really have thoughts about yourself?
For a moment, she was confused.
She herself didn't understand why she had this reaction.
"careful."
Tsuchimikado Marri suddenly reminded him.
Haruhiko was immediately alert.
But he didn't sense anything.
Just in case, he took out the Hongluan Tai Dao and hung it on his waist.
If you encounter an enemy attack, you can save half a second.
Tsuchimikado Mashiro came back to his senses and let out a breath.
Without the glare from behind, she quickly calmed down.
She raised her hand and a spell flew out.
In mid-air, a bright light bloomed, which actually made the fog thinner.
Haruhiko was able to see clearly what kind of monster it was.
It's a group of crow tengu.
The Crow Tengu is also called the Crow Tengu because it has wings similar to those of a crow.
He is quite famous among the Tengu clan.
It is worth mentioning that they are famous for their swordsmanship.
But at this time, the Crow Tengu seemed quite abnormal.
His eyes were red, with surging evil thoughts.
There was a chilling and dangerous aura permeating his whole body.
After seeing the three people, they all spread out their bodies, stepped forward, and unsheathed their long swords.
In an instant, the fog rolled back.
