Tokyo Gods Only Want Beautiful Priestesses

How could Yagi, who seems shrewd and secretly controls the entire Yingzhou, have such a crazy and...naive and childish idea? It's completely incomprehensible. Haven't her actions always been based on rational self-interest?

If others had known this news beforehand, Yagokoro would probably have been attacked by the masses long ago, and no god or demon would have become her ally.

The meaning of life lies in inheritance; finiteness is the true essence. In the end, nothing in this world, not even gods and monsters, is completely eternal. There will always be a time when they are forgotten by the world and gradually fade away.

However, when Jingu heard this, he gave Yagoko a strange look and glanced at him a few more times. He found this kind of crazy, or rather, somewhat morbid thinking... to put it another way, it sounded quite interesting.

"No wonder, only someone like you can cooperate with her, after all, you are the same kind of people."

Narukami couldn't help but interject, but her words piqued the shrine's curiosity once again.

Speaking of which, although I've always known that Kaguya is Princess Kaguya from The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter never mentions which god's offspring Kaguya is. The story ends with Kaguya returning to heaven, so why is she hiding on earth?

Faced with the curious gaze of the shrine maiden, Kaguya chuckled twice, covered her face with her sleeve, revealing only her eyes as clear as autumn water.

"Does Your Majesty care about my background? If you are afraid, Your Majesty might as well let me leave."

In response to Kaguya's words, Jingu sneered twice and slapped Narukami, who was standing beside him, the crisp sound echoing.

"Ridiculous! I've already snatched Amaterasu's top civil and military officials. Do you think your backing is any bigger? Let me guess, you are... Tsukiyo no Mikoto's daughter?"

Chapter 112 Women Fighting, Men Enjoy It

The weather isn't very good today.

The light drizzle continued, and the sudden drop in temperature caught people who were about to enter summer off guard. The girls put on thick tights again and walked along the street with umbrellas in hand.

The sky was slightly gloomy, probably because the volcanic ash accumulated in the clouds blocked the sunlight. The news anchors on TV kept talking, and the experts kept making a big deal out of the breakthrough eruption of Mount Fuji.

After analyzing the causes and hazards of Mount Fuji's eruption, the author couldn't resist offering some words of encouragement: the arrival of the typhoon was actually a blessing for the island nation, as the wind and rain would quickly wash away the volcanic ash deposited in the clouds and cool down Mount Fuji.

Everyone should relax. The island nation won't sink. People can go to work or school as usual. One or two natural disasters won't bring their country down.

In short, it was just some old-fashioned inspirational content. Jingu watched for a while and then switched back to TV Tokyo to watch anime. There was no other way, as other TV stations were broadcasting news about Mount Fuji.

They're really just a bunch of mortals making a fuss over nothing, but there's nothing we can do about it. If they knew that there are countless gods and demons in this world, and that a few of them are capable of causing natural disasters and chaos, they probably wouldn't go to work properly anymore.

"Wow--!"

A harsh, hoarse cry rang out above the shrine, and a black raven flew in through the window, its ruby-like pupils staring directly at the shrine, cawing loudly.

If you look closely, you can also find a third claw hidden in its belly, with smooth and glossy feathers.

The Yata no Crow, the pattern painted on the back of the Yata no Kagami (Eight-Span Mirror), is also known as the Three-Legged Crow because it originated from a great country across the sea. It is a mythical creature of sun worship that arose from the ancients' observation of sunspots.

Besides residing in the sun, there are also records of it being used to feed the Queen Mother of the West, and it is also known as the Green Crow or the Crow.

This is naturally one of the rewards after the great harvest at the shrine, a reward for making a contract with Chiyo. It feels like the system's rewards for collecting shrine maidens are closely related to the shrine maidens themselves.

"Alright, alright, stop yelling. What's wrong now?"

Jingu pinched the noisy crow's beak. "He's watching anime, what's with all the cawing? Crows' cawing is awful, you know?"

After a brief moment of quiet, a noisy commotion erupted again. The door was slammed open, and Kaguya dashed in, quickly hiding behind Shingu.

"Kaguya!"

Chiyo, engulfed in flames, followed closely behind, the flames burning silently on her body no longer as frenzied as before.

"Hey, look, Jingu! Chiyo's trying to hit me! Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

While making faces at Chiyo, she put on a pitiful look and pretended to be weak and helpless in front of the shrine.

"Why are you making a scene here again? Can't you go outside and fight?"

Jingu was having a headache. In just one or two days, Chiyo and Kaguya would start verbal battles over all sorts of trivial matters, and Kaguya would always lose to Chiyo because her words were too elegant.

Then, unable to contain her anger, she would strike first, which would escalate into a heated and passionate battle, ending with Kaguya being chased by Chiyo. As for why Kaguya, who previously dominated Chiyo, is now being chased...

"

"Isn't it because you're biased? You took my fire-rat fur coat to make clothes for her, and stuffed some unknown stuff into her bag, making her fire much stronger than before."

Kaguya began wiping away her tears. This woman was truly something else; she could cry so easily. She was far more shameless than Tamamo-no-Mae. It was hard to imagine what kind of chaos would ensue in the inner quarters after she subdued the fox spirit.

"I understand, you just favor that girl a little more. After all, I was only captured by you, and you barely gave me the title of a priestess to get rid of me. *sobs*"

"Hey! Kaguya, stop pretending to be a good person!"

Chiyo, unable to bear Kaguya's appearance, immediately threw a punch and chased after her. The two dodged and weaved around the shrine, making it impossible for the shrine to watch TV in peace.

What was given to Chiyo was a reward for solving the mystery of immortality. The so-called immortal firewood was a ball of light that resembled a soul, and it didn't have much use. It seemed that the only difference was that it released more energy when burned.

After much deliberation, unsure of its significance to him, Jingu inserted it into Chiyo's body, replacing her system with a dual-core one, making it more powerful and efficient.

"Alright, stop fooling around! Here, take this. Don't say I'm being biased anymore!"

Unable to bear the disturbance any longer, Jingu grabbed both of them by the collar and threw them outside. At the same time, he pulled out a Western-style broadsword taller than Kaguya and tossed it to her.

Upon seeing the two-handed greatsword before her, Kaguya, who had been thrown out, instinctively forgot to maintain her elegant facade and swore.

"Holy crap! The Moonlight Greatsword!?"

Its entire body is like crystal, emitting a shimmering light, which is all too familiar to Kaguya-hime, who is well-versed in various ACG games and otaku items.

"Oh? You have good taste. I was originally planning to play with it myself..."

The wool comes from the sheep's back, and this Moonlight Greatsword was naturally taken from Kaguya. Speaking of this shrine, it's a bit frustrating. Is it because I've improved my skills that the system rewards me with things that are like toys?

"Ha! I'll use this to cut your head off, Chiyo!"

Kaguya, fully recovered, raised the Moonlight Greatsword with both hands. Despite her slender figure, she possessed a strange strength, wielding it effortlessly.

In an instant, chaos erupted in the courtyard once again. Jingu, who loved watching women fight, naturally sat by the window, watching with amusement and offering her comments.

"Yes, that's where we should shoot!"

"Are you even capable? How could you miss like that?"

While indiscriminately firing at both sides of the battle, he stood with his feet on Yagi, who was serving as a footstool, and ate the fruit that the little shrine maiden had washed and cut.

This is probably what a decadent life looks like. The only problem is that the favored concubine, the little witch, is too demanding. She wants everything in double portions. If someone else gets one night, she wants two nights, otherwise it won't do.

As for Yagokoro and Narukami, the Shinigami Temple hasn't touched them yet. Narukami is simply too busy these past few days. As for Yagokoro...

Although he didn't touch her, the shrine has made her stand at the door serving tea and water every night for the past two days. In addition, the shrine has specially increased her instincts by nearly ten times that of an ordinary person. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have turned into a beast long ago.

However, Yagokoro still maintained basic rationality, but Jingu could sense the unease in her heart from her scent.

Leaving it aside for now, the system underwent some changes. Instead of refreshing with new tasks, it prompted him to quickly complete the final introductory task and enter a new phase.

The system reminder reminded the shrine maiden that she had a yokai befriending quest that she hadn't completed yet. At first, she thought it would be hard to find a yokai, but later she found that while there were plenty of small yokai on the streets, there wasn't a single big yokai.

After much thought, it seems that it's because these great demons are all similar to Iizuna Maru, having established legitimate professions and careers. In this era, finding a purebred great demon is truly rare.

However, thinking about this is useless for now, as the shrine has other things to do.

"Master, the carriage is ready, it's time to set off."

Narukami bowed and knelt before the shrine, while Yagokoro, who was kneeling at the shrine's feet, showed a struggling expression, but was still lifted up by the shrine.

"Alright, let's go, let's see how your descendants will explain this."

This chapter has 2237 words. It's almost the end of the month! My monthly votes will expire if I don't get them soon!

Chapter 113: It's not so bad if it's all beautiful girls.

Dressed in an office lady outfit, Naruto really does look like an assistant, and he is strict and serious when doing things.

In particular, her well-trained physique is perfectly suited for the assistant position, and coupled with her serious expression, it makes her boss want to squeeze every last drop of value out of her.

The meeting place was a large courtyard next to the Imperial Palace in Chiyoda Ward. Although there was an unspoken agreement, neither side would take action against unrelated persons or resort to coercion.

But in the end, these noble lords always had to give the victors an explanation, just as the losing side in a war always had to sign various unequal treaties, or even cede territory and pay reparations.

The nobles, whose ancestral gods were enslaved by the shrine, naturally lost completely. They probably never imagined they would lose so thoroughly, and naturally, they had to pay the price for their defeat.

So today, the shrine is going to bring the gods who were once enshrined in their ancestral temple to them, step on their faces, and tread on their backs to see how they will face them and what kind of expressions they will have.

The car stopped at the entrance of the manor, and as soon as it stopped, someone came to greet him and helped him out.

"Lord Jingu, I am deeply honored by your presence. I am Masato Takatsukasa, the head of the Takatsukasa family, and I eagerly await your arrival."

The man who bowed at the door to greet Jingu was someone Jingu could hardly remember who looked or whose name he was, but his self-introduction surprised Jingu.

The head of the family? Isn't this kid the heir? Why is he jumping the gun so fast?

However, the shrine maiden didn't think much of it; it was just a power struggle between families, something she was used to. She simply followed the other party's welcoming gesture and walked into the manor.

However, Masato Takatsukasa seemed rather unhappy, glancing every now and then at Yagokoro, who was being held by the collar by Jingu. Cold sweat streamed down his neck, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

"Please, all the heads of the noble families have arrived."

After pushing the door open, Masato Takatsukasa stood in front of it, acting as if he was going to stay there and guard the door, showing no sign of being the head of the Takatsukasa family.

"Huh? Why aren't you going in?"

Upon hearing Jingu's words, Takatsukasa Masato broke out in a cold sweat and walked in with a wry smile.

Upon entering, Jingu was stunned by the scene before her. Elegant girls in kimonos were sitting properly inside. As soon as Jingu entered, she was stared at by more than a dozen pairs of eyes, with all sorts of curious gazes directed at her.

What kind of show of force is this? Do they think he's never seen anything like this before? Are they testing him with this?

I'd heard that Yingzhou was open-minded about its customs, but I never imagined it was true. In such a formal negotiation setting, they actually resorted to using a honey trap, and more than a dozen at that! They're really something else! No wonder Takatsukasa Masato didn't come in and was just keeping watch at the door.

These thoughts were fleeting. Not to mention seeing a few familiar faces, the elegant and luxurious kimonos worn by the girls, as well as the family crest accessories they wore, indicated that it couldn't be a straightforward honey trap. At most, it was just a disguised honey trap offered as a gesture of goodwill.

"What? There's no one in charge. Where are your elders? Where is the head of the family? We don't expect you to just gather around and nothing will happen today."

"Right?"

Although there were more than a dozen beautiful young women, each of them was quite attractive, some of them were familiar faces from the shrine, such as Hanayama Haru, Kuga Hikaru, and Murasaki Shikibu disguised as Kujo Kaori.

But Jingu isn't the type to give up easily; at the very least, they'll wait until the important matters are settled before discussing it further.

The girls fell silent, not daring to speak, except for Kuga Hikaru, who was clearly trying to suppress a laugh, while Kujo Kaori, sitting in the front seat, had a strange expression on her face.

Although she publicly betrayed him, no one knew her background. They simply assumed she had been turned to side with the shrine and no one suspected that she was Murasaki Shikibu herself from hundreds of years ago.
