The villainous second young lady becomes a god in a bizarre Tokyo.

However, Natsumi Hanae already sensed it.

Although the statue was originally made of extraordinary materials, it is now struggling to withstand her power due to her growing strength.

This statue, at least, has accumulated a lot of "prayer" over the years, which is still useful to Tamamo-no-Mae.

Summer flower painting does not want to be destroyed.

Therefore, she wanted to keep it brief and then return all her power back to her body.

In a short while, Mizuki Rin will probably be arriving in Yokohama in his car.

Thinking of this, Natsumi Hanae spoke up.

"Tamamo-no-Mae, now is not the time to punish you."

"My time in this statue is running out, and I have some things to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Tamamo-no-Mae looked somewhat disappointed.

But she was also a very sensible person, and she quickly said.

"Please give your instructions, Madam, and I will do my utmost to fulfill them."

"Me too."

At the same time, Himeko's voice came from beneath Natsume.

Summer Flower nodded, pursed her cherry lips, and continued.

"First, I want you to keep my arrival here a secret as much as possible."

Of course, even with the double protection of the imperial family and the state religion, the population of Kyoto was still very large.

Through careful investigation and by identifying the spies hidden within, all factions will learn of the arrival of the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain.

It was only a matter of time before it was exposed.

However, what summer flower paintings need is precisely what they have learned through careful consideration.

This will increase credibility.

Moreover, there is another advantage to doing this.

This is in line with the interests of the royal family.

A bizarre catastrophe that struck the city—if most people with superpowers and ordinary people realized that this disaster was not resolved by the royal family.

Rather, it is the leader of a force.

So, what will they think?

At that time, the credibility of the royal family will decline further, and it may even become the trigger for gradually losing control of the country.

This is not something that summer flower painting would like to see.

Without the checks and balances of the royal family, the country will only become more chaotic.

Moreover, Princess Kamishiro is also a member of the imperial family, and as a daughter of the imperial family, she is practically the heir to the throne. This would damage the credibility of the imperial family, which is completely against her interests.

Hime-hime of Kamishiro had clearly thought of this as well.

A hint of gratitude appeared in her pure white eyes as she spoke softly.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mother."

"In this way, even if the royal family loses me, with my father and grandfather still around, the royal family's prestige will not collapse instantly."

After she finished speaking, the sense of perception in Kamishiro Himeko's eyes gradually turned into a trace of loss.

Yes, the royal family will lose her.

Because she joined Xiahuo Mountain, everything from now on will be for the benefit of Xiahuo Mountain.

He will probably no longer be able to serve as the heir to the throne.

She... could no longer bear the weight of the royal family's responsibilities, and had failed her grandfather and father's wish to revive the royal family.

However, the next moment.

The warm, gentle voice of Xia Rihua, like a spring breeze, reached her ears.

"When was it said that you were to leave the royal family?"

"Although saying this might damage Xiahuo Mountain's reputation, Xiahuo Mountain doesn't actually have a main base..."

High emotional intelligence: Our organization's members are scattered in every corner of the world.jpg

I know what you're worried about.

Summer Flower's bright, glass-like eyes shone as she looked down at Himeko, meeting her gaze into her pure white, slightly apprehensive eyes.

Kamishiro Himeko felt as if she had been completely stripped naked and seen through.

“I know you want to completely sever ties with the royal family, but that’s not necessary.”

"As things stand, there is no conflict between the interests of the royal family and the interests of Xiahuo Mountain; in fact, they even have something in common."

"You can be the Great Tengu of Xiahuo Mountain, or you can be the third A-rank member of the Imperial Family."

"It's not too late to make a judgment when the interests of the two sides clash in the distant future, which is unknown."

Himeko Kamishiro was gradually completely convinced by Natsume Hanae.

But in reality, Summer Flower Painting played a trick.

She knew the situation of the royal family. Both of Kamishiro Hime's father and grandfather were unlikely to live long, and the future royal family would practically be Kamishiro Hime's sole authority.

Moreover, in the future, my attachment level with Himeko will reach around 90, and then I can make Himeko do whatever I want.

Of course, this is just the darkest of thoughts.

In reality, the interests of Xiahuo Mountain and the imperial family were not in conflict.

[Hime's Affection Value Increased to 87]

When Xia Rihua saw this pop-up, she couldn't help but fall silent.

It turns out that the affection points she gained from her well-reasoned and heartwarming words were less than the points she gained from sitting on Kamishiro Himeko.

However, Summer Flower Painting didn't think much of it.

She quickly moved on to the second point.

"Also, I need your help to investigate matters concerning divinity."

“When I visited the Summer Ancestral House before, I sensed a great deal of divinity permeating it. Do you know why?”

The previous levels of Summer Flower Painting did not reach this level.

She naturally had no knowledge of this aspect, but now that she has begun to delve into this field, she needs more detailed information.

Upon hearing this, Tamamo-no-Mae clearly shook her head.

When Kamishiro Himeko heard this, she realized it was her chance to demonstrate her value and quickly said it.

"In the summer ancestral home, a [god] lies buried and sleeping."

As soon as she finished speaking, Kamishiro Himeko noticed that Natsume Hanae and Tamamo-no-Mae were both looking at her.

she continued.

"Although my mother is almost no different from a god, there is still a slight difference in essence."

The umbrella sword painted by summer flowers has not yet been fully nurtured. It will be ready when it is fully completed and the power of the old gods is completely incorporated into itself.

That's when she can truly make amends and restore order.

At that moment, Himeko looked at Natsume with adoration.

She had initially thought that her mother was a deity who had awakened from a deep slumber, but as she observed her over time, she discovered that this was not the case.

Rather, it is a being who has attained the state of divinity from the human body.

This feat is unprecedented.

she continued.

“Every conglomerate or organization with a thousand-year history and profound heritage should have a sleeping deity, barring any unforeseen circumstances.”

"And the reason why they have been able to pass down their legacy for thousands of years is because the gods are asleep."

"The royal family... is no exception."

Therefore, even though Grandpa was seriously injured and Father was old, no one dared to go to Takamagahara, where the royal family was located, to kill them.

The gods of the royal family are undoubtedly the most powerful.

I'm afraid that even if people from other organizations brought their own home gods to Takamagahara, it would only be their own gods who would die, not the royal family's.

"Not only that, I've seen it in the royal family's ancient books."

"The reason why the gods are asleep is inextricably linked to the strange occurrences."

"However, even the most bizarre and terrifying beings of hell are no match for the most powerful gods. Why they have been asleep remains a mystery to this day."

Himeko Kamishiro patiently explained, and Natsume Hanae gradually came to understand everything.

No wonder that old guy Xia Yuanliu looked so fearless.
