Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 58 As promised
"Because of the faith you have consumed, you must repay it double later..."

The childish voice of Amagami sounded in his ears, and the shadow under Xia Fan's feet quietly twisted and extended to Tokugawa Kagekatsu's feet.

A small white hand reached out from the shadows, grabbed the warrior's ankle, and yanked it hard to the ground...

Tokugawa Kagekatsu was like a "low-quality figurine" that tripped over its left foot and accidentally fell down. His burly body, along with the power of the wild god that protected him, fell to the ground and shattered into pieces!
[Faith value -999...Current accumulated faith value 662]

"No... Xianghui... I finally got back here..."

Only a fragmented spirit remained, and he wailed and retreated in a certain direction.

"Well, what should we do now?"

Seeing Tokugawa Kagekatsu fleeing in panic, Xia Fan looked at the Jinguji priestess inquiringly.

"Mr. Xia Fan, you are so strong..."

Only then did Aoi Jinguji come back to her senses from the shocking scene of "the wild god's fall".

Although no one knows what Xia Fan did, as a human psychic, it is unheard of that he could destroy the "divine body" of the God of Wilderness with one blow.

"His divine body has been shattered, and the remaining soul wants to return to the cenotaph. We just need to follow it."

The two followed Tokugawa Kagekatsu's translucent spirit all the way to the green space in the corner of the shrine.

"This piece of turf is obviously newly laid. The cenotaph should be buried underneath."

Aoi Jinguji investigated carefully and found a clue.

"What are you waiting for."

Xia Fan found two shovels from the cleaning room not far away.

"found it!"

The two worked together and soon dug out a rotten wooden box from under the grass.

Inside the wooden box, a broken suit of armor with blood coagulated on it and half of a blackened broken sword were neatly placed.

Aoi Jinguji breathed a sigh of relief after finally finding the cenotaph.

"Mr. Tokugawa Kagekatsu, your armor and sword returned to Kanda Shrine hundreds of years ago to fulfill your promise."

"The Hayami Kaho Miko has kept her promise and will stay with you in this shrine for the rest of your life."

"So, it's time to rest in peace."

Her face was solemn as she spoke in a low voice to the cenotaph.

"The sun will eventually set, but all living beings in the world will become their own light..."

"Pray for the light of heaven to comfort all the spirits in the world."

The white and tender little hands quickly formed seals in front of the body, and yellow talisman papers fell from the fingers like rain, turning into dazzling flames and burning fiercely in the wooden box.

"I see... I didn't break my promise... That's great..."

In the firelight, Tokugawa Kagekatsu's figure clasped his hands together and dissipated into the starry sky with the thick smoke.

“Although lovers did not end up together, the love in their hearts has transcended the barriers of time, space and yin and yang.”

Looking up at the rising smoke, Xia Fan couldn't help but feel emotional.

"Since I have been separated from you, I do not know when I will return. I am like the morning dew that dries up in an instant..."

"At the end of Hayami Miko's notebook, there was this haiku."

Jinguji Aoi also sighed.

In that chaotic time when people were treated like grass, Tokugawa Kagekatsu and Hayami Miko each fulfilled their promise of love with their own lives.

"The obsession is gone, and the soul enters reincarnation... Such a peaceful ending is all thanks to Lord Xia Fan."

She watched the fire in the wooden box gradually dim, then turned and bowed to Xia Fan.

"I also want to thank the Jinguji Miko for helping me accumulate sufficient filming materials. Director Nakano's advertising project should be completed perfectly."

"By the way, with such a long product name, there's not a single mistake. You're a pretty good heroine."

Xia Fan skillfully pulled off the wig on his head, not forgetting to make a joke. The matter between Tokugawa Kagekatsu and the advertising shoot was finally properly handled, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When he checked his phone, he discovered that two more messages had appeared on LINE.

"Horiie Tsubasa: I'll be waiting for you at the cinema entrance at 8 o'clock tomorrow night. Don't forget to bring your ticket."

"Hoshina Hanami: I've returned to Tokyo and am preparing for the interview during the day. I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow night."

……

The next day.

Ikebukuro, Sunshine City.

Sunshine City in Ikebukuro, which was once the "tallest building in Asia" in the 1980s, still stands out with its 60-story height even in the dazzling night view of Tokyo today.

At eight o'clock, around Sunshine City, whether it was outdoor advertising, electronic screens or roadside posters, the content displayed was only two themes...

The animated films "Cursed Blade" and "Attack of Dwarfs" were released.

The Ikebukuro Cinema located in Sunshine City is the "largest cinema in Kanto" with 10 floors of screening space and IMAXGT, 4DX and other theaters with the largest screens in the th district.

So, like most movies, these two animated films released in the same period chose to premiere in this theater.

"There are so many people, it's so crowded, I really want to go home... The premiere is too exaggerated, wouldn't it be better to wait until the end of the show and watch it at a discount?"

At the entrance of the cinema which was packed with people, Xia Fan stood helplessly in the corner.

"Xia Fan, I'm sorry..."

Suddenly, a girl's apologetic voice came from behind.

"The recording of the interview program was temporarily extended. Not only was I unable to treat you to a meal, but I also made you wait for so long. I'm really sorry!"

Xia Fan turned around and found Hoshina Hanami, wearing a mask and big sunglasses, with his hands on his knees, gasping for breath and apologizing to him.

Today, she wore a fitted white uniform and short skirt, paired with a pink knitted jacket, looking very sweet.

Judging from her exquisite hairstyle, slightly heavier makeup than usual, and her uncontrollable breathing, she must have rushed over as soon as the show ended.

"It's okay, it's normal to have changes in work schedules. I've encountered a lot of unexpected situations recently. It's just a meal. There will be opportunities in the future."

Xia Fan waved his hand indifferently.

Because Hoshina Hanami's interview schedule changed, the two did not have dinner together as planned and had to meet directly at the cinema.

"Will there be opportunities to...eat...and...watch movies?"

As if catching some key words from Xia Fan's words, Hoshina Hanami's ears instantly turned pink.

"Then, then, then, isn't it the same as...that kind of...relationship..."

She didn't know what she was thinking of. She held her burning cheeks, lowered her head, and her voice became inaudible.

"The agreed time is still a while away. The other person hasn't arrived yet. We have to wait a little longer and go in together."

Xia Fan glanced at the time and glanced at the crowd, but didn't see the person he was expecting.

"Hey, is there another person? I thought there were only two of us..."

"Who could Xia Jun's friend be?"

Hearing this, Xing Ming Hana's eyes were slightly downcast, but she breathed a sigh of relief silently.

"Hey, look, the Cursed Blade COSers are all so professional, their expressions and costumes are so realistic..."

"The uniform equipment and combat uniforms on the attacking dwarves' side look pretty good too. Should I take some time to go take a look later?"

Soon, the two simple-minded people's attention was attracted by the official COSPLAY activities of "Cursed Blade" and "Attack of Dwarfs" in the hall.

“If I knew that the theme song composer wanted to watch a box office rival’s movie, I wonder what the production committee who has been working lately to prepare for the release would think.”

Suddenly, I heard the teasing words of a young girl beside me.
