Tokyo Gods Only Want Beautiful Priestesses

All of it consists of content that has been deleted from the internet during this period.

From the earliest paranormal videos about "spontaneous human combustion" to some urban legends that have no logic whatsoever.

Posts and comments containing a mix of truth and fiction, including those about phoenixes, immortal beings, ancient people who have lived from the Nara period to the present, and successors of the Fujiwara clan.

Some of these stories are well-crafted and logically sound, while others seem like wild ramblings. There are even real video clips of Chiyo being engulfed in flames. All sorts of information are mixed together.

“We have been trying our best to monitor and control the spread of these rumors, but there is nothing we can do. This thing has already taken hold. Although it is just an urban legend to most people, there are definitely people behind it.”

This kind of information control is something they are very familiar with, but rumors about this matter keep popping up like mushrooms after rain, showing no intention of hiding the fact that someone is behind the scenes pushing the rumors to ferment.

"What does this have to do with me? If the sky falls, someone will hold it up. It's not like this will expose the entire mystical world."

Kuga Hikaru scoffed. She was just quirky, not stupid. Don't try to fool her with such unfounded worries.

"No, you still don't understand what I mean."

Masato Takatsukasa tapped the table with his fingertips and said in a deep voice.

"We don't care whether this girl is really the daughter of Fujiwara no Fuhito. Even if Fujiwara no Fuhito were to be resurrected, he couldn't interfere with the current Five Regents. At most, he could just give her a nominal title and send her to Kasuga Taisha."

"The key is the mystery of her immortality, and the purpose behind spreading this story. That's what we're really concerned about."

Masato Takatsukasa lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and the smoke he exhaled made the two of them move away from him in disgust.

"If what she says is true, and she is a pure human being, then the reason for her immortality is very likely this."

Masato Takatsukasa tossed a book from his arms—a children's picture book for little kids.

"The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter?"

Hikaru Kuga opened the book with suspicion, only to find that it was just a simple children's book with nothing strange about it.

"That's right, it's the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter. Everyone here is a sensible person. The truth or falsehood of this legend is just a way to deceive the world. Everyone knows in their hearts whether or not there was a peerless beauty, Princess Kaguya."

Masato Takatsukasa smiled dismissively, but Haru Hanayama and Hikaru Kuga didn't dare to smile.

The more you know, the less you sometimes dare to think about these things.

"You mean the elixir of immortality? But..."

Kuga Hikaru hesitated for a moment and didn't continue, but everyone understood what she meant.

"Hey! How could we, the descendants, possibly know the intricacies of this? In short, since her father was Fujiwara no Fuhito, also known as Prince Kurumamochi, the only opportunity she could have accessed was through the legendary elixir of immortality left behind by Princess Kaguya after her ascension to heaven."

Masato Takatsukasa stubbed out his cigarette and lit another one.

"So they are all very curious about this elixir of immortality and want to see it for themselves..."

Immortality and eternal life—how alluring! If they truly existed, how did the Emperor of that time resist such temptation and make the decision to throw the elixir of immortality into Mount Fuji and burn it?

Masato Takatsukasa didn't want to think about the details. He stood up, finished his cigarette in one gulp, and walked towards the door.

"In short, I'm leaving the task of getting information to you two. No matter the conditions or methods, you must find a way to bring Fujiwara Chiyo over."

"Wait a minute! Are you so sure that thing is genuine and not a fake?"

Kuga Hikaru called out to Takatsukasa Masato at the door, still harboring a last shred of doubt.

"Ah!"

Masato Takatsukasa casually flicked his cigarette butt away, pushed open the door and left, leaving only his voice echoing in the room.

"Why do you think Fujiwara no Yorimichi built the Phoenix Hall of Byodoin? History doesn't leave no trace."

Chapter 78 Noisy

"Damn it! What kind of crappy machine is this? Get a new one!"

Chiyo's eyes were bloodshot; she hadn't slept all night and was in a state of heightened arousal. It was all the fault of this damned machine in front of her—it was so incredibly alluring.

"Next, next..."

While searching for a pinball machine that seemed to have a connection with her, she continued to take money out of the wallet that Jingu had thrown to her, but it seemed to be empty.

"what?"

These little marbles are a real menace. As a country bumpkin, Chiyo couldn't help but be drawn to this professional money-making machine, and ended up with an empty wallet.

Hmm... I hope the Shrine won't come after me for this wallet again. Even if she's stingy, she wouldn't do something like that.

Feeling relieved, Chiyo put her wallet away, preparing to find a secluded corner to commit suicide and start over, refreshing her body's fatigue level.

However, just as Chiyo turned and walked into the secluded alleyway, preparing to reopen it, there was someone at the end of the alley who seemed to have been waiting for her all along.

“When the princess mentioned it, I knew it must be you. Sure enough, even after nearly a thousand years, you are still alive.”

The newcomer was dressed in a dark black court robe, looking as if he had stepped out of a historical drama, completely out of place with his surroundings.

"Who are you? I don't remember. If you're an old friend, please... never mind, even if you tell me your name, I probably won't remember."

Chiyo scratched her head, probably already used to this kind of thing.

"That's true, after all, immortal life is something we can hardly imagine."

The man nodded slightly, showing no surprise.

"However, Lai Tong still wants to thank you for your past help."

"Ah you are......"

Chiyo's hazy memories seemed to include an impression of the person before her, who appeared to be a junior member of the Fujiwara family.

"None of that matters anymore. Laitong is just relaying a message to you on behalf of the princess."

The man bowed slightly and said in a low voice, "Does eternal life bring you joy?"

After saying that, she turned and walked away without looking back, and only then did Chiyo come to her senses.

No way! How could someone from a thousand years ago be alive today? And it's impossible for everyone to be like her.

"Stop right there! Explain yourself!"

He wanted to rush up and stop the other person to get an explanation, but found that the other person's figure disappeared in an instant, and he didn't see how they left at all.

"grass!"

Chiyo swore. Although Jingu had told her there was no need to fear these schemes and plots, she was truly in a state of utter confusion at that moment.

The elixir of immortality...the princess...appeared before him, a long-lost friend who should have died long ago.

The various memories mentioned flashed rapidly through Chiyo's mind, and the girl murmured to herself:

"Eternal...life?"

Indeed, how could the owner of the elixir of immortality not have one himself?

When a somewhat distraught Chiyo returned to the shrine, she found it bustling with activity.

Haru Hanayama brought Hikaru Kuga, Shugen Amagi brought Asuka Moritaka, and there was also Maru Iizuna with a camera and paper. In an instant, people that Chiyo knew and didn't know, humans, gods and monsters, all gathered together.

In contrast, the shrine looks like a young man surrounded by a group of women; an uninformed person might mistake him for...

What a strange scene!

"The person in question is back, why are you still bothering me? Go ask her yourselves."

Seeing Chiyo return, Jingu finally had a chance to escape from the crowd. Although there were many beautiful girls, the best way was to take them down one by one. They were too busy hiding when they were all grouped together.

Only Iizuna Maru suddenly rushed forward, using a pen instead of a microphone, and bombarded Chiyo with a barrage of questions.

"Excuse me, are you really Fujiwara no Fuhito's daughter? Why is your name not recorded in history?"

"Could you share a little about what it feels like and what it's like to be an undead?"

"What other roles have you played in the long course of history? Could you elaborate?"

As a professional journalist, Iizuna Maru knows that timeliness is the most important thing in news, and accuracy is secondary. The whole story of Fujiwara Chiyo has almost spread, but as a professional journalist, she still has no news or reports.

Negligence! Serious negligence! Today she's determined to pry something out of Fujiwara Chiyo to write in the newspaper.

Chiyo was a little dazed from the barrage of questions and hadn't figured out how to answer when she heard Hanayama Haru's tentative voice.

"Chiyo? I'll still call you Chiyo. Um, to be honest, the family gave us a strict order..."

Seeing Chiyo caught in a pincer movement, Jingu couldn't help but ask Ame-no-Yumi Shugen beside him:

"Why aren't you going? And what are you doing here anyway?"

Tenko raised an eyebrow and said with a grin, "Of course I'm here to have some fun. Why do you think I'm friends with you? It's because I know you're always full of fun."

She's a market guru, her eye for opportunity is incredibly sharp, right?

"By the way, I actually have some mysterious behind-the-scenes information about this matter. Do you want it? It's a flat price of one billion, and I guarantee I'll give you everything."

The Heavenly Bow Collection appeared mysteriously and approached, looking exactly like a peddler asking if someone wanted a pirated DVD.

Is this even possible? Is this the benefit of having many friends? But Tian Gong Ji Xian, that shrewd businessman... doesn't seem very reliable.

"Actually, I have one too. Do you want it? I don't want money. If you agree to three things for me unconditionally, I'll tell you."

Tamamo-no-Mae suddenly popped out. This fox has recently become addicted to spying. Although she can't see anyone, after last night, the shrine maiden had already guessed that she had been secretly following him.

"Go away, you bunch of unreliable guys." Jingu waved his hand to interrupt the two, then turned to chat with the girl next to him.

"Hey! Asuka, haven't seen you for days?"

"Hi... Lord Jingu..."

Asuka stammered, "It's my first time visiting a shrine, and I was a little curious and excited. But when I saw Suga Ai standing next to the shrine, her pretty face cold and silent, I was a little surprised."

Asuka Moritaka always felt a faint chill surrounding her, which made her a little scared.

Sigh, no, he still needs to work harder. What happened to the promise that the little witch would beg him to have more sisters?

It's a bit of a shame that the shrine will no longer try to put a hat on the little shrine maiden in front of her, and will instead focus its attention on Chiyo, who is being attacked from both sides.

On one side was Hanayama Haru's request, and on the other was Iizuna Maru's bombardment. This noisy tengu was making Chiyo's ears tingle.

When was the last time? It seems like a long, long time ago, when I was the center of attention in a crowd, with heated discussions taking place around me.

Immortal Child, Fujiwara's Immortal Child, the one possessed by the phoenix.

Already filled with a myriad of thoughts, his mind a chaotic mess as if it were about to explode, he was now even more agitated.

"Shut up, everyone!"
