Tokyo Gods Only Want Beautiful Priestesses

With a wave of his hand, he dispelled the gloom, and the lights in the entire apartment became much brighter. As for the consequences of killing the Shadow Demon, none of that mattered as much as the current mood of the Shrine.

Besides, he might have broken this rule before, so why would he care now?

Reaching out to soothe the fear on the little girl's face, Jingu helped Mrs. Nishikata sit up straight and flicked her forehead.

"Hiss~ It hurts."

Mrs. Nishikata suddenly woke up, her chest heaving. Jingu secretly gave her a thumbs up. The cause of the Shadow Demon's death could be added to the list: he was too ugly, a stark contrast to Mrs. Nishikata's looks.

"This is... a deity, what just happened?"

"It's nothing, you were just knocked unconscious by the monster, and then I just eliminated it." The shrine maiden gave a casual explanation, omitting many details.

"Really?" Things happened so fast that Mrs. Nishikata was still a little taken aback.

"Of course it's true. Didn't you feel that the whole room wasn't so damp and stuffy anymore?"

Jingu was too lazy to explain, so he stood up, dusted himself off, and was about to leave. Mrs. Nishikata mistakenly thought Jingu was angry and quickly grabbed him.

"I'm sorry, I don't doubt the gods, it's just that everything happened so fast and I'm still a little confused."

“It’s alright. As for the reward…” Jingu thought for a moment and said, “Could you please buy some everyday groceries and deliver them to the shrine for me? That will be fine.”

Having said that, he transformed into a little lark right in front of Mrs. Nishikata, flapping his wings and flying out of the window.

Mrs. Nishikata, inside the house, looked on incredulously; for her, today was a dreamlike day in every sense of the word.

She truly experienced firsthand the ever-changing and capricious nature of the gods in mythology today.

The shrine, which had transformed into a lark and flown away, landed on the eaves of the rooftop.

It was an act of kindness on his part not to ask Mrs. Nishikata for payment, though this could only be described as hypocrisy, but Jingu was happy to do so.

It's still early. Since we're already out, we're definitely not going back to the shrine to lie around like corpses. We might as well go check out our shrine maiden's school.

Coincidentally, Jingu was very interested in and curious about the high schools in Yingzhou. Of course, he wasn't interested in the female high school students in uniforms and black stockings, but he was just curious about whether their high school life was really that happy.

Yes, that's right. He wants to observe high school life in Yingzhou up close. If it's really fun, he'll try to sneak in and have some fun too.

Life is so boring.

Putting aside his important matter of making a name for himself, the shrine maiden followed his connection with her and flew away in the form of a lark.

Meanwhile, Su Woai was undergoing a brutal torture.

Chapter 9 Kuga Hikaru

"Where did you go yesterday?!"

During the lunch break, a young girl stormed up to Su Woai and slammed her hands on the table.

"It's a secret." Su Woai remained aloof, using the book to shield the girl's gaze.

"I love Su!" the girl shouted. The collision of the two beautiful girls attracted the attention of the other students in the classroom, but they all turned their backs immediately.

If it were Hikaru Kuga, this kind of commotion wouldn't be surprising at all; watching them as they gossip carries the risk of retaliation later.

“Once it’s a secret, it’s a secret.” Su Woai turned a page of her book and said without looking up, “I don’t need to keep the key to that place anymore. I’m moving.”

"So where are you going to stay? Did that guy from Hanayama-in trick you?"

“There’s no exaggeration, it’s the truth.” Suga Ai closed the book and then slapped it on Kuga Hikaru’s head.

"Get off my desk."

"Oh..." Kuga Hikaru sat down, feeling very aggrieved.

"They're worried that you, Ai-chan, will be scammed."

“What a boring thought. You just want to know what I've been up to.” Su Woai glanced at her.

The two were wearing the same uniform, but Kuga Hikari's light pink long hair was braided into a single ponytail that hung down to one side, and she wore white knee-high socks instead, making her look very pure and cute.

Sometimes naive, sometimes fiery, but unexpectedly she's a single-minded, eccentric woman with a very unconventional way of thinking.

“Tell me~” Kuga Mitsuko grabbed her hand and shook it back and forth, “Because you’ve been acting really strange today, I’m starting to wonder if you’ve found a boyfriend.”

"Yes, I'm married," Su Woai replied casually.

"Really? Who is the man? Do I know him?" Kuga Hikari's eyes lit up; she knew this was no simple matter.

"I'll introduce you when I have the chance." Su Woai said calmly. The absurdity of their conversation struck those eavesdropping nearby as ridiculous.

One dared to speak, and the other dared to believe. If these two weren't both known for their eccentric thought processes, these few words would have made tomorrow's school headline something like "Female high school student gets married? The filth and darkness behind it."

"Chirp~"

A lark suddenly flew in through the window and landed precisely in front of Su Woai, preening its feathers.

"What an adorable little bird!"

Kuga Hikaru immediately tried to catch the lark, but Soga Ai swiftly slapped his outstretched hand away and then pulled the lark into her palm.

As a priestess, she could recognize her own god at a glance; that unseen connection was impossible to fake.

Su Ai stood up, holding the lark, looked around, and then ran straight out of the classroom.

"Hey? Wait for me!" Hikaru Kuga followed closely behind.

Suo Ai moved quickly down the corridor, with Kuo Hikaru following closely behind.

She sensed a major news story; this was definitely going to be very interesting.

"Ai-chan, is this your pet bird?"

"Yes, I raised it."

Lies! As Soga's childhood friend, Hikaru Kuga knows very well that Soga has absolutely no interest in keeping small animals.

Besides, it's only been one night since we last met, so why would I suddenly have a pet that I care about so much?

Ai-chan, this isn't like you at all. You're really making a fuss over nothing.

?

The two walked all the way to the rooftop. As Kuga Hikaru kicked the rooftop door shut, he also took out his key from his pocket and locked the door from the inside.

As for why she has so many keys, that's the girl's secret.

Looking at Kuga Hikaru leaning against the door humming a song, Suga Ai sighed. Although she knew it would be difficult to hide it from this annoying childhood friend, it was still a bit too fast.

"Lord Jingu, what brings you here all of a sudden?"

With a slightly resentful tone, Kuga Hikaru, standing to the side, had an expression of having just heard some juicy gossip.

The point isn't that she was talking to the bird, but that Su Wo'ai, who has basically only ever used a few different tones of voice since childhood, was speaking in a tone that carried a hint of reproach and coquettishness for the first time.

However, the shrine maiden was unaware of this; he only felt that his own shrine maiden was full of contrasting traits.

"Of course I'm bored, so I came to see what your school is like."

"It spoke! Is it a shikigami?" Kuga Hikari leaned in to touch Hibari, who had transformed from the shrine, but Soga Ai dodged her.

"Let me touch it, hehe~"

Kuga Hikaru has a peculiar habit: the more you forbid her from doing something, the more she wants to do it, especially with her childhood friend, Suga Ai, whose possessive nature often leads to friction between them.

"You can touch other things, but not this." Suga Ai placed the shrine on her head, doing her best to block Kuga Hikaru's clutches.

"What a vibrant young girl, my shrine maiden! Is this your friend?"

The boy's voice came from the lark's beak.

"Yes, she's a friend. Her name is Kuga Hikaru, and she's not an important character." Although I told Jingu last night to just call her Ai, Soga Ai sometimes prefers the title "my shrine maiden."

This sense of satisfaction is especially blissful when it comes to being in the presence of someone who understands its meaning!

"That's too much. We're childhood friends who grew up together, but in your mouth, Ai-chan, we're just ordinary friends."

"And Ai-chan, how did you become a shrine maiden overnight? You said back then that you would never become a shrine maiden."

"Shut up!" Su Waai quickly covered Kuga Hikaru's mouth with a slap.

"You two have such a good relationship, why don't you come and be my priestesses together?"

The more beautiful girls the better, and since the shrine is currently short-staffed, the shrine tentatively extended an invitation, hoping to recruit as many as possible.

The next second, Jingu couldn't breathe. Suga Ai pressed him against her chest, and the petite Hibari's body sank completely in, making it impossible for him to breathe.

"My lady, you can leave this matter entirely to me, the high priestess. You don't need to say anything!"

No! Absolutely not! Nothing else matters, but if we lose even the right to freely choose beautiful girls, then the meaning of being a god is completely lost!

Jingu struggled to refute, but Suga Ai pressed him even deeper, suffocating him completely.

It wasn't that Jingu lacked resolve, but rather that the enemy was too ruthless. How could she do something so cruel to a little bird?

Kuga Hikaru, who had been invited, seemed to fall into deep thought before raising his head and smiling:

"do not want!"

Suo Ai breathed a sigh of relief. This unconventional person could not be judged by common sense. If she really got interested and pestered him or the temple, it would be difficult to handle.

"That's a real shame, well, it was just something I mentioned casually."

The bird's head of the shrine emerged from the ravine; its seventy-two transformations are truly amazing! A human would certainly not enjoy such treatment.

Or perhaps they simply can't bring themselves to enjoy it, but it's different with an animal's body.

"So, Ai-chan, is your god a bird god? There must be all sorts of strange bird-themed items in the shrine, right?"

Chapter 10 The Holy Son of the Name

"I don't know what kind of god the Shrine Master is, or what kind of divine power he possesses. I have no idea."

Su Woai shook her head.

"Huh?" Kuga Hikaru's eyes swept over him, then he said:

"Ai-chan...you really were fooled by that scumbag, weren't you?"

"What do you mean by lying? This is my first time playing God, how would I know?"

Jingu struggled to prove his innocence, flew out of the girl's arms, and transformed back into his original boy form.
