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

“There was even a period in the middle when I was on the defensive against him.”

"However, this is nothing special for me; it's just a battle where I'm jumping two or three minor levels above A-rank."

"Although in the end I was only slightly inferior to the old man, I still lost."

"But once I reach the mid-A level, I have a feeling I'll be able to go toe-to-toe with that old guy!"

Upon hearing this, Natsumi Hanae continued calmly.

"Ah."

Summer Rinrei: "..."

She noticed that Natsumi Hanae's expression remained calm throughout. The expected look of surprise and shock did not appear in front of her, and her expression did not change in the slightest.

Summer Rinrei suddenly felt indignant. She puffed out her cheeks and said angrily.

"I think you don't understand at all."

"That makes sense. You're just an ordinary person. You must have run far away when I was fighting that old guy, and you couldn't possibly understand the significance of my battle."

Natsumi Rinri complained as he plopped down next to Natsumi Hanae.

Since she was on the bed, she bounced around a couple of times.

Because Rin's room was completely destroyed in that battle.

Moreover, Xia Yuanliu showed no signs of recovering.

Therefore, Natsumi Rinrei is currently staying in Natsumi Hanae's room.

Summer Flower Painting's room wasn't damaged much, and thanks to the intervention of some civil engineering-related supernatural beings, it was restored to its original state in less than a day.

Standing in front of Natsui Rinrei and Natsui Hanae, Chikari Makoto seemed hesitant to speak.

Looking at Xia Rilinli's words, she suppressed the slight upturn of her lips.

Rin had long ago instructed her not to tell Hanae Natsumi about her identity as a member of Natsumi Mountain.

Furthermore, because of this, she even received a rare, high-level material as a benefit.

Little did she know, her mother was Natsumi Hanae, and she had known all along.

Furthermore, I specifically told Chikari that we should do as Natsumi Rinrei said.

As the meeting time drew closer, Chikari was increasingly looking forward to seeing Natsumi Rinrei's expression at that moment.

She followed Xia Rihua's gaze and looked out the window.

Summer Rinrei quickly noticed Summer Flower's gaze.

"Hanae, what are you looking at? What's the point of staring at that oak tree? But the leaves on that oak tree are really turning yellow."

“I remember that in the past, even in winter, the leaves of this oak tree never turned yellow.”

Summer Flower continued to respond softly.

"Ah."

"Things always have their own laws, and the oak tree that symbolizes the tycoons of summer today will eventually wither away."

All she had to do was slightly accelerate the withering process.

On the day that Xia Riyuanliu learned of Xia Riyu's death.

After leaving home, Kujo Yusuke met a tragic end on his way back to the Kujo Zaibatsu.

Once the temple is burned down, it will leave no trace.

Given that Kujou Toru already suspected Natsumi Yoriyuki, the fact that he couldn't find Kujou Yusuke, who hadn't returned for several days, would only lead him to believe that the Natsumi Zaibatsu had handled things cleanly enough.

Next, all we need to do is patiently wait for the meeting to end, and then eliminate the nine conglomerates first.

Given the suspicion surrounding the Summer Zaibatsu, the Kujo Zaibatsu would not immediately seek assistance from them, which undoubtedly greatly reduces the difficulty of the two major zaibatsu joining forces.

After all, if Natsumi Yoriyuki arrives with a divine artifact, along with the gods of the Kujo Zaibatsu, things could easily change.

Summer Flower Painting's actions were aimed at nipping these variables in the bud.

Because of the power of the divine artifact, as well as the power of gods of medium to high level, Summer Flower Painting has never witnessed it before, so it is never too much to be cautious.

There is a little bit.

Summer Day Liu unexpectedly led a group to Kyoto, much to Summer Flower's surprise.

I have no idea what the other person is thinking.

Could it be that she went to Kyoto to learn more about her battle with Naraku Kamishiro in order to assess her own strength?

However, his own strength is no longer what it used to be.

Summer flowers are lost in thought.

Before the battle with the Kujo Zaibatsu takes place in a dozen days, she suddenly seems to have become bored.

and……

Main Quest: Seize everything from the Summer Zaibatsu!

[56% complete]

You will be randomly selected to choose a new template.

Although no new factions were added during this period, the main storyline was improved.

The ultimate reason is actually quite simple.

Because of the deaths of Natsuki Genryu and Natsuki Taiko.

Sometimes, seizing control of the Summer Zaibatsu is not simply about bringing its power under one's own control and eliminating its influence, while keeping one's own original control of the Summer Zaibatsu intact.

This can also greatly improve the completion rate.

However, the new template that was selected left Summer Flower Painting somewhat puzzled and confused.

[The template you have selected is — Yamata no Orochi!]

[Orochi Template (Special): The Orochi template can only be used on Orochi.]

Summer Flower Painting certainly knows about Yamata no Orochi.

Furthermore, the aura emanating from the black snake that had been peeled off from Natsumi Yasutora's body was remarkably similar to, or even identical to, the scale that Kamishiro Himeko had examined for her.

The conclusion drawn is that the Yamata no Orochi is not dead and has survived to this day through special means.

Does this mean he wants to take the Yamata no Orochi as his daughter?

However, regardless of whether the Yamata no Orochi is male or female, it is a deity who has lived for countless thousands of years and has an extremely large mind. Subduing it as a daughter is no easy task.

Summer Flower Painting fell into deep thought, feeling that this template was somewhat useless.

………………

Kyoto.

Several days later, Xia Yuanliu had arrived in Kyoto.

In order to make a good impression on Himeko.

He made a special trip to Ryukiko Shrine to pay his respects to the shrine's statue before heading to the location of Kamishiro-hime-no-Mikoto.

However, I don't know why.

As he was worshipping the bird-faced god statue, Saiou from the Ryuko Shrine appeared and tried his best to suppress a laugh, though it was unclear what he was laughing about.

Even if he is the head of the Summer Financial Group, it shouldn't be this laughable just because he's worshipping a deity.

If an ordinary person had laughed at him like that, he would have already slashed them with his sword.

But the other party is the Prince of the Temple. If he does this, regardless of whether he can kill him or not, he will definitely offend the Imperial Family of the Age of Gods.

After all, the Ryukyu Shrine is now the state religion.

With doubts in her heart, Natsumi Yoriyuki came from Ryuko Shrine to the palace of Kamishiro-hime-no-Mikoto.

Himeko's palace was not far from the Ryuko Shrine. As an A-rank ability user, even with a few B-rank confidants, she arrived in less than ten minutes.

Although Ryukiko Shrine is the state religion, it is indeed very close to the palace of Princess Kamishiro.

It's worth mentioning that Princess Kamishiro has not returned to Takamagahara yet, but continues to operate in Kyoto, and it's unclear why.

Of course, this also facilitated Xia Yuanliu's purpose for this trip.

The current representative of the Imperial Family is Princess Kamishiro. It is known that after Princess Kamishiro was promoted to A-rank, most of the power of the Imperial Family is being transferred to Princess Kamishiro.

While Princess Kamishiro was still young, although she received the imperial education of the Kamishiro royal family, she was much easier to persuade than the two seasoned and shrewd royal A-rank members.

Moreover, Princess Kamishiro has just become the imperial family's representative to the outside world, and she probably urgently needs to achieve some results.

Successfully dealing with this emerging threat from Mount Natsuhime would also be a good thing for Himeko.

Therefore, Xia Yuanliu is almost certain to succeed on this trip.

When they arrived at the palace of Princess Kamishiro.

When his trusted confidants were stopped, Xia Riyuanliu didn't mind; it was just a necessary courtesy.

A servant wearing a tengu mask led him to a secluded courtyard.
