It's just one less meal, but it's okay. He can make up for it later with Chiyo or Asuka. He, Jingu, is not the kind of short-sighted person!
As Jingu pulled up his pants, full of confidence and dreaming about the future, a golden fox poked its head out of the window.
"Are you done with it? If you're not taking me on that Mount Fuji trip, who are you going to take? Is the last spot reserved for Bao Ji? Or for some little bitch?"
Jingu's face stiffened. This cunning fox, is he addicted to eavesdropping? Fine, fine, you want to go, huh? Originally, Jingu was wondering whether to take Hanayama Inu Haru or Kuga Hikaru for the last spot, but this fox delivered himself to her doorstep.
Of course, if you really want to make an appointment, you can bring everyone you know with you, but you have to take things one step at a time, and it's not easy to do things with too many people around.
Since the tickets happen to be for five people, it means that five people are the best choice for this trip, and Jingu is the kind of person who believes in luck and coincidence.
Moreover, four people is already pretty much the limit, and that's assuming they all listen to me. If I were to get Iizuna Maru, Tamamo-no-Mae, Ame-no-Yumi Shugen, and Hōhime together, who knows what would happen?
However, at first, the shrine maiden was somewhat tempted by the idea of using such a powerful weapon on innocent young girls, but after thinking about it, she realized that it would be too cruel to use such a weapon on innocent girls, so she decided to be gentler.
However... we don't need to be so gentle when dealing with this fox.
So, the group of people who went out to play were decided, and after getting ready, they set off immediately.
"Sorry, am I a little late?"
"
At the station, Moritaka Asuka arrived late, after all, she didn't have the financial means of Jingu and the others, and she also needed to navigate Tokyo's complicated public transportation system.
"It's alright, it's just right, let's get in the car."
In the car, Jingu introduced themselves to each other, and after the introductions, Suga suddenly grabbed Moritaka Asuka's shoulder and pressed her face close to the other's.
What's going on? What's this supposed to be? Is it a show of force against me, the one who interfered in someone else's relationship?
Asuka Moritaka's mind was a complete mess. She had always been a little afraid of this shrine maiden, whose face was always cold and who never seemed to talk to anyone else.
Just as Asuka was at a loss, the little witch leaned close to her ear, sniffed it, and then let go of her.
"It seems you haven't had any dealings with Lord Jingu yet, then it's alright."
The little witch's straightforward remarks caused Asuka's face to flush red instantly, leaving her stammering and unable to speak.
"Did I say something wrong? Or are you shy? It's okay, as long as you don't secretly sleep with Lord Jingu behind my back, it's fine. I'll allow it."
With her hands resting on her lap, the little witch was wearing a white dress, a rare sight today, instead of her usual all-black style.
Hearing such magnanimous words, Asuka's face turned bright red. Although Jingu would sometimes tease her, that was when they were alone. Now, to be so blunt about sleeping together in front of everyone...
And why aren't the others surprised at all? Is this just the usual lifestyle of the shrine maiden?
Images of the shrine and the three sleeping together flashed through the girl's mind. Was the shrine really such a lewd place? Should she not have come today? Would the five of them have to sleep together for three days and two nights?
Is this supposed to be a tour, but actually a chaotic free-for-all? She has no intention of participating in such a bizarre event!
"Ahem, Ai is always quite direct, but she didn't mean any harm."
Jingu offered an explanation, which only intensified the girl's embarrassment.
Directly? Does that mean it's all the truth? So it really is some kind of lewd journey with ulterior motives? The girl's brain finally overheated and shut down, unable to recover.
"Ok?"
Seeing the bird slumped over the table, not getting up, the little witch tilted her head, somewhat puzzled. Had she said something wrong?
Ignoring the girls' misunderstandings and disturbances, Jingu took out his phone and looked at Mount Fuji outside the car window. If he remembered correctly, the Emperor should have been here before.
Scrolling through the chat history, although it was just a one-sided, forced bombardment of information from the emperor, sharing bits and pieces of his travel experiences and saying some inexplicable and nonsensical things.
Comparing the photo of Mount Fuji taken by the emperor with the view outside the car window, Jingu raised his phone to compare the two images.
In addition to a photo of Mount Fuji, there was also a note from the Emperor:
"Mount Fuji is really huge. Climbing it alone is really tiring, but it's all worth it when you reach the top. The sky, the earth, the mountains, the ocean. Before I knew it, we were so far from Tokyo. But you're not worried, are you? No matter how far the kite flies, you're still holding onto that most important string in your hand. Don't let go easily."
This girl always has a certain quirky way of speaking, but luckily, Jingu is on the same wavelength. The last sentence is nothing more than what's meant, but Jingu also finds the Emperor's awkward personality quite amusing, being the complete opposite of the little shrine maiden.
They know it clearly in their hearts but refuse to admit it. They could say it directly, but they insist on hiding their true meaning in other words.
When she left, her words, "I might like you a little," probably exhausted all the directness she had ever shown in her life; all that remained were these vague and ambiguous statements.
"do you know?"
While Tamamo-no-Mae was looking through the Emperor's information at the shrine, she secretly leaned over and whispered something with a strange expression.
"Mount Fuji is also known as the Immortal Mountain. Legend has it that the ash before it erupts is the smoke from burning the elixir of immortality, which can convey the thoughts of people on earth to people on the moon."
"It's been dormant for a long time. Do you think we might see it erupt again?"
This chapter contains 2233 words. Actually, the author isn't making any suggestive remarks; it's just some serious content.
Chapter 96 I'll treat you to hot spring chicken
"Hot spring! Hot spring!"
The hotel we were assigned was located at the foot of Mount Fuji. Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, we could see a very close-up view of Mount Fuji. As a Japanese-style hotel, hot springs were naturally an essential feature.
As soon as they put down their luggage, Tamamo-no-Mae started clamoring to go soak in the hot springs. The entire lake-view hot spring on the top floor of the hotel had been rented by Jingu, and the original tourist vouchers were just an excuse for the trip.
"By the way, what are our room arrangements for tonight?"
Asuka looked around the room. The rooms in this Japanese-style hot spring hotel were very large and suitable for group stays. Asuka also felt that soaking in the hot spring here had a more artistic feel to it.
"What are you talking about? Of course everyone should sleep together!"
As expected, this is the worst-case scenario. Asuka felt utterly speechless. The shrine had never even considered separating men and women. So, this trip wasn't exactly a pure one after all?
I felt like I had wandered into a place I shouldn't have been, like a fish caught on a bait.
"I was just joking. I'm sleeping here alone with Lord Jingu."
Suga pushed open the sliding door, revealing a dark, secluded room behind the shoji screen. Asuka breathed a sigh of relief, but then another question came to mind.
Soga loves sleeping with Jingu? That means...
Watching the little shrine maiden tidying up the bedding on the floor, and then looking at the paper-thin shoji screen, Asuka instantly understood that she suddenly didn't really want to stay in this kind of Japanese inn anymore.
Please provide some proper soundproof walls! She doesn't want to go a sleepless night!
"You'll get used to it. You'll end up like her too."
Tamamo-no-Mae patted Asuka's shoulder with a smile. She didn't mind at all; it would be a bit troublesome if they had to separate rooms.
Following Tamamo-no-Mae's gaze, Asuka saw that Chiyo was already changing clothes, seemingly ignoring what they were saying.
"She's become so adept at ignoring certain sounds, or rather, she's not surprised at all by this kind of thing happening?"
Tamamo-no-Mae's fingertips also unbuttoned a few buttons on her collar, easing the tightness of her clothes. However, she wasn't as carefree as Chiyo, who started changing clothes right in front of everyone.
"Don't worry, if you join them at night, we'll pretend we know nothing."
"spit!"
The girl blushed, but Tamamo-no-Mae's words made her feel a little better. Chiyo and Tamamo-no-Mae were just used to it, not joined in, which at least meant that she hadn't joined some kind of chaotic relationship party.
It's reasonable for the shrine maiden to sleep with him, isn't it? It would be a little unsettling to let him sleep alone.
The room has a small, private hot spring, but the space is relatively small and more suitable for one or two people. Jingu, on the other hand, booked the entire rooftop lake-view open-air hot spring for a more enjoyable experience.
It was just as night was falling, and a cool breeze was rising. The girls were relaxing in the hot spring, wrapped in towels, soothing their bodies in the bubbling volcanic water.
The vast hot spring was currently reserved for only a few people. The hotel provided sake and eggs before they even entered the room.
On a cool summer night, enjoying a drink while admiring the scenery is truly delightful.
Asuka's head was a little dizzy from soaking in the water. She hadn't experienced such a luxurious life in a long time. However, Chiyo and Suga Ai weren't much better off. The three girls' eyes met, and they even had a faint feeling of being kindred spirits.
Is this what life is like?
Jingu slowly picked up his cup, took a sip, and gazed at Mount Fuji, which was right in front of him, before falling into deep thought.
Since I'm going to sleep with the little witch tonight, how can I get off her and try something different?
This is a difficult problem. Chiyo doesn't need to rush. Asuka can't swallow it whole, but the atmosphere is right, so she can take a small bite. In this subtle way, it won't be long before she can enjoy it to her heart's content and taste the flavor of her idol.
As for Tamamo-no-Mae
"What? Starting to wonder if you're being led around by someone? If you really want to think about that, why don't you just ask me? I know who's orchestrating all of this."
Tamamo-no-Mae didn't go into the water; she sat on the edge of the bath, simply soaking her calves and slowly swaying them.
She thought Jingu was thinking about the problems on the train, but little did she know that Jingu was actually just thinking about how to mess with her.
"Hmm? Why do you think I'm thinking about such boring things?"
Jingu snapped out of her daze and turned to look at Tamamo-no-Mae. This fox probably didn't intend to go into the water, so she came in wearing a yukata, which was really insincere compared to the girls wrapped in towels.
"At a time like this, aren't you thinking about these things? You may be confident and don't care, but aren't you worried about them?"
Tamamo-no-Mae used to be just as confident, but that was when she had no ties and no leverage. Now, given the situation at the Shrine, what if the other party threatens her with Soga or Moritaka Asuka?
“We’re not desperate criminals. If we were to target innocent bystanders, they would be even less able to bear the consequences than I am.”
This is also an unspoken rule. Whether it's humans, gods, or monsters, everyone is based in this world and has roots and ties with each other. They would only hope that the shrine would have more and more ties, because that way the shrine would gradually become controllable from an uncontrollable factor.
If they were to cause trouble for others at the drop of a hat, they would find the consequences even more unacceptable than those of the shrine. Therefore, people like Tamamo-no-Mae, who are carefree and purely enjoy themselves, need to be monitored, while those like Iizuna-maru, who are burdened with the responsibilities of their clan and family, do not.
The more lecherous and lustful the shrine maidens were, the happier they were, and they would even go to great lengths to send people to the shrine maidens' shrines after the relationship stabilized.
After all, a conflict of interest is a conflict of interest. Directly targeting unrelated relatives and friends is just asking for trouble. In their eyes, Chiyo probably doesn't even count as the shrine's Achilles' heel.
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!
Chapter 98 Konohana Blooms, Princess
Asama Shrine may not be very famous, but it becomes very famous when it comes to another topic.
That is the privatization of Mount Fuji. This sacred mountain of Japan, the center of mountain worship, has state-owned land below 3360 meters, while the last hundred meters or so at the summit belong to the private land of Asama Shrine.
Once inside, the shrine maiden wasn't particularly interested in worship, but the little shrine maiden insisted on going up to worship after hearing that it could bless women with a smooth childbirth, and the other two followed suit.
"You're not going?"
Jingu looked at Tamamo-no-Mae with a wicked glint in his eyes. He could let it go last time, but this time it really lasted all night.
