Tokyo Gods Only Want Beautiful Priestesses

Pushing his wine bowl, Ibuki switched places with Tamamo-no-Mae and sat down in front of Hōhime, looking as if he wanted to stop Hōhime for Tamamo-no-Mae.

This guy has a brilliant plan. He only needs to drag along one nearly defeated Bao Ji, allowing him to wait for the enemy to tire him out, while the three of them will take turns wearing him down.

Of course, if they really wanted to break the spell, the shrine would only need to take the initiative to challenge Ibuki to a duel, and then Hōhime could continue to hold Tamamo-no-Mae back, thwarting her plans.

But what's the point of always drinking like Ibuki? Games should be interesting, of course.

A faint smile curved her lips as she glanced at the three beautiful women, each with their own unique charm, sitting before her, while also making her own plans.

Chapter 121 Precious Bloodlines Cannot Be Given to Outsiders

[Mission - I want them all]

[Although your three friends... ah? Two of them aren't? That's unexpected. But congratulations, you've finally completed all the new finger imprint tasks and now possess everything to establish yourself in this world: territory, subordinates, fame, and friends. Now, begin your true journey as a god!]

[Task status: Completed]

[Quest Reward: A Charming Young Man]

Surprisingly, the system didn't spout any more witty remarks or sarcastic comments. Instead, it acted very seriously and, after distributing the rewards, entered a new interface.

Just like in a mobile game, once you've finished the tutorial, the game interface truly begins to unfold.

What appeared before the expectant shrine was an interface that was no different from before, except that there was an additional lottery interface.

Damn! Now even rewards are starting to use the gacha system, huh?

However, the task interface has also been changed. It is now divided into three areas: major events, permanent tasks, and random tasks. Apart from the shrine maiden collection in the permanent tasks, there are no other tasks available yet.

It's rudimentary, but honestly, there's nothing to complain about. After all, if the system had features like a shop, enhancement, or synthesis, it would definitely require a lot of grinding and spending, which isn't suitable for someone like me who's a casual player.

It's a bit of a shame that the system's voice when issuing tasks usually sounds quite witty, and I thought there would be a female character or system character, but I was just looking forward to that.

[Ding~ Host's strong desire detected; random task generated]

[Task - The Beauty of Inorganic Matter]

[Human woman, female monster, goddess... so many attributes and you're still not satisfied? You're a bit too perverted. Now you even want to sleep with things that don't exist. Do you really enjoy seeing emotionless, lifeless inorganic things develop sentience, watching cold, emotionless mecha girls or electronic girls say "I love you" to you? Ha—Tch!]

[Mission Requirement: Acquire a mechanical life form]

[Task Reward: 1 Lottery Draw Attempt]

Holy crap, don't talk nonsense! I never had such thoughts! It's clearly the system that's misinterpreting my meaning!

But the mecha girl... is kind of interesting, isn't it? While using the bionic cavity, he disassembled the mecha girl's spine, extracted the electronic nerves inside, and connected them to his own bioelectric current.

The problem is, where is the shrine supposed to find a mecha girl? Youkai or gods are relatively easy to find. Asking the shrine to find a mecha girl all of a sudden is a bit too difficult. You can't exactly expect some floating island constantly hovering in the sky, or some alien computer on the far side of the moon capable of calculating the entire solar system.

These are too outrageous. It would be more believable to wake up one day and see a news report about some uncle saying he has developed a fully immersive game.

However, no matter what, it's a task with no clue how to proceed. I'll put it aside for now and try to control my divergent thinking in the future to avoid encountering these strange tasks repeatedly.

It's still raining outside. This kind of weather makes you feel lazy and don't want to move at all.

Jingu retreated back into the covers, while Tamamo-no-Mae, who had been sleeping soundly, curled up in dissatisfaction, as if annoyed that Jingu had taken her place.

She was very dissatisfied with the blanket's behavior, so Jingu raised her hand and slapped it! (o‵-′)ノ. The snowy skin trembled and churned for a moment, but Tamamo-no-Mae only groaned twice before rolling over into the blanket and continuing to sleep.

The fox is very tired. All the fox wants to do is hug the blanket and sleep. The fox is always given special care, and the fox is also suffering.

Pushing open the door, the rain curtain seemed to cover the sky and never end. Raindrops dripping from the eaves of the shrine were like a curtain, and the blue bricks on the ground were washed clean.

With such heavy rain, most schools in Tokyo are probably closed for the day. Even if they are closed, there's nowhere to go. This kind of weather is perfect for staying indoors and doing your own thing.

Stepping through the rain, letting the rain soak them completely, Jingu walked into the main hall of the shrine, where Soga Ai and Chiyo, dressed as shrine maidens, were sitting and drinking tea, along with Hina, who looked like a mascot.

"Lord Jingu, you're awake?"

The little shrine maiden thoughtfully poured a cup of hot tea for the shrine maiden, and sat beside her on the edge of the path, stretching out her bare feet to catch the rainwater.

"Um..."

Looking at her, Kaguya was most likely either sleeping or staying home playing games. She couldn't go back to the bamboo forest, but she didn't seem to want to go back either.

It seems like there are more and more people at the shrine now, including the little shrine maiden, Tamamo-no-Mae, Hina, Chiyo, Kaguya, and even the emperor who is traveling. It feels like the small shrine is not big enough. Isn't it time to expand it?

And regarding the hot springs we talked about building, we haven't gotten around to it yet. It would be best to also prepare a swimming pool this summer.

Just as I was pondering what to do, I heard footsteps on the stone steps. Even on such a stormy day, someone was coming to visit.

It was Ringo Konoe. In just one night, she fulfilled the shrine's request by presenting the head of the former head of the Konoe family to the shrine.

She had her entourage wait outside the torii gate, then walked quickly toward the shrine with an umbrella in hand, not caring that her expensive long dress was soaking in the water. The girl knelt before the shrine and opened the box.

"Ringo Konoe has completed the task assigned by the master. All 203 members of the Konoe clan involved have been beheaded. The head of the main culprit is now presented."

"Tsk..."

The child was quite honest; she actually brought her head over. What use would a head be to her if she just said it casually? But since she had already brought it over, she didn't want to discourage the little girl.

He glanced at it, blew a breath towards the head, and the head was blown away by the shrine like a handful of ash, dissolving into the heavy rain.

"Well done, you managed to get it done overnight."

Hearing the praise from the shrine maiden, the girl raised her head. Through the rain, she could see the shrine maiden's face, which was somewhat blurry, but it touched her heart even more than the clear, close-up view she had seen yesterday, as if it possessed an indescribable charm.

The little witch behind her had a somewhat unfriendly expression; she harbored a hostility towards this woman, a hostility stemming from their shared fanaticism.

"Now that you've done it, it's my turn to keep my promise."

The shrine maiden extended her hand, and Ringo, without even standing up, knelt forward, opening her mouth like a dog and sticking out her tongue, awaiting the shrine maiden's favor.

Rain Line took a drop of blood from the shrine's fingertip and placed it on the tip of Ringo's tongue. The girl, who had gotten her wish, held the taste of the blood in her mouth and savored it carefully until finally swallowing it with reluctance.

Hiss... Jingu suddenly thought of a way to repay Kazanin Haru and Kuga Hikaru. Of course, he would repay them with his precious bloodline.

"Shall I begin my stay at the shrine today? My daily necessities and change of clothes are all prepared."

Having just become a shrine maiden, Ringo asked tentatively.

"no!"

This chapter contains 2067 words.

I feel that some of my thoughts are too bizarre to write down.

Chapter 122 Nine Ships Jump

The little witch, unable to bear it any longer, finally spoke up.

Suga Ai was used to increasing the number of shrine maidens, since it was her own god who liked them. But how could she accept those who eagerly offered themselves up, clearly with impure intentions?

It's definitely not because of some conflicting attributes that there's hostility, but rather because this sets a precedent. What will happen next? The shrine will become a famous place, full of people scrambling to become priestesses.

We can't just accept everyone and leave them all at the shrine, can we?

"Hmm? You are the high priestess of the shrine maiden? I am Ringo, the lowly guard. If I have been presumptuous, please punish me."

The girl's respectful attitude left Su Wo'ai at a loss for words. The other girl seemed even more fanatical than she was, completely putting herself in the lowest position.

"Alright, what use are you to me if you stay at the shrine? Go and properly manage your family and serve me."

The shrine maiden patted the little shrine maiden's head and spoke to Ringo, the guard beneath her.

"I don't want my shrine to become a place for you to handle your own family affairs. Go and dedicate your strength to me, let me see your usefulness. You don't want to become someone useless to me, do you?"

Since the shrine had said so, even though she was unwilling, Ringo Konoe could only bite her lip and take a few steps back.

"Then, I, Ringo, will take my leave."

After seeing off the fanatical believers who had braved the heavy rain, the shrine maiden leaned back against the little priestess.

"What's wrong, love? What's troubling you?"

"Sigh... Lord Jingu, don't you sometimes feel that your love is too much? You're always unhappy about things like this..."

Suga Ai felt an unprecedented sense of crisis from Ringo Konoe—a feeling that she could be replaced. The other woman was even more obsessed than she was, without any possessiveness or anything else, just pure infatuation and fanaticism.

This made Su Woai feel distressed and a little scared.

"Don't worry, loving you means doing what you like, because even if you tell me, I might not listen, right?"

It's hard to say whether those were words of comfort or not, but they did calm Suga's heart a little, since that's how Jingu has always been.

"Kaguya and Tamamo-no-Mae are such a hassle, but I didn't think they were being unreasonable, did I? If I were unhappy, I would definitely teach you a lesson in bed, so if you love someone, just be yourself."

"That's not education; for love, it's a reward, not punishment..."

The little witch pondered for a moment, then blushed and whispered something in a low voice, causing another stir in the shrine's heart.

Chiyo looked at the two of them like this and cursed inwardly. She looked up at the sky, thinking that out of sight, out of mind. They were just like a third wheel. If it weren't for the rain and her reluctance to go out, she would have gone out to find something to do.

After exchanging a few words about things that were not suitable for children, Jingu lay down on Soga's lap. Come to think of it, he hadn't even looked at the abilities he had gained after signing the contract.

Upon opening the system, he realized that the abilities gained after signing a contract with a shrine maiden were generally related to the shrine maiden herself, but he really couldn't think of any special characteristics for Ringo Konoe.

[Reward: The ability to drive people mad]

Hmm? This is a bit unclear. But it's alright, it's still more useful than the toys and pets that Kaguya and Chiyo gave us. Most of the nature-related abilities are just icing on the cake for the current shrine, but these spiritual, soul, or abilities that involve a wider range of things are still somewhat useful.

I tried it briefly, and although it's said to drive people crazy, it's actually somewhat similar to mind manipulation, but it can only influence them to a certain extent. If similar abilities were developed to assist in this, it could probably achieve mind reading or even control over people.

Right now, it's probably about using the charm of two handsome young men's skills, or using violent means to easily break through other people's rationality.

The only use I can think of right now is for picking up girls; it's better than nothing.

After browsing the system and finding nothing new, Jingu took out his phone to check for any new information today.

The first to complain was the emperor, who lamented that she had been trapped in a remote mountain village by heavy rain, which had disrupted her travel plans.

Iizuna Maru also sent a message, threatening him not to leak the videos, photos, or anything else that happened last night, and that she would take off the collar around her neck later, or she would break off all ties with Jingu.

However, this threat lacked any real force; it seemed more like a self-justification for doing something wrong while drunk, giving off a rather tearful and whiny vibe.

Bao Ji was being flirtatious as usual. Ibuki sent a photo asking if she wanted to have a drink with her again in the rain. Hongyou asked why she was the only one still in her room this morning, and why the room was so messy. Narukami gave a report on the Settlement's work.

Before she knew it, Jingu realized that she now had the air of a harem. Although many things had not yet truly developed to that point, she felt that it would be easy with just a little effort.
