The Heroines Can Read My Secret Diary

Raising his hand to touch the corner of his mouth, Hakuto felt that it hadn't been an illusion.

[Furisode. Could the figure I just saw have been Raiden Makoto? But why did she kiss me?]

Hakuto's internal complaint caused a flicker of joy to appear in the eyes of Yae Miko, who was behind him.

"Finally, I've found you."

Looking at Hakuto's back, Yae Miko muttered to herself. Then she took a deep breath, collected herself, and looked at Hakuto. Her face regained that mischievous smile.

Withdrawing his hand and turning around, Hakuto looked at Yae Miko and asked, "Guuji Yae, does the Sacred Sakura Tree have any special requirements for offerings?"

"That's hard to say. You have to ask the Sacred Sakura Tree yourself. The Sacred Sakura Tree is a type of Spirit, just like me. So if you want to know what it wants to eat, you'd best ask it yourself."

Hakuto raised an eyebrow, turned his head to look at the Sacred Sakura Tree, and then said something that nearly made Yae Miko lose her composure.

"Since the Sacred Sakura Tree is also a Spirit, when you trimmed it, did you discuss it with the tree? Or did you directly trim it because it can't talk?"

Yae Miko's expression stiffened slightly.

"How could that be? The Sacred Sakura Tree and I have been old friends for hundreds of years. How could I not know whether it's willing?"

"Is that so? Then why do I feel like the Sacred Sakura Tree is complaining?"

Yae Miko's eyes widened.

"You're not joking with me, are you?"

"No. When I touched the Sacred Sakura Tree, it conveyed its consciousness to me. But isn't the Sacred Sakura Tree being a bit too picky? It wants both the most complex and the most simple. Isn't that making things difficult for people?"

As he spoke, Hakuto slapped the Sacred Sakura Tree hard twice. The tree seemed to feel the pain, then whimpered. Sakura petals continuously fell from above.

"Hey, don't bully the Sacred Sakura Tree. Besides, the tree has diligently guarded Japan for hundreds of years. What's wrong with it wanting to eat well?"

Hakuto rolled his eyes at Yae Miko, then inwardly thought about dishes that were both the most complex and the most simple.

Then, Hakuto actually thought of such a dish.

"Fine. I've thought of a dish. I can make a dish that is both the most complex and the most simple. I'll just practice it a bit when I get home, and it shouldn't be a problem."

Yae Miko looked at Hakuto and smiled.

"The Grand Narukami Shrine has a kitchen. Why don't you try it out before Kikyo arrives? That way, your Guuji can also taste your cooking."

Hakuto looked at Yae Miko. "I charge a lot."

"Such an unlikeable little one. You should be grateful that your Guuji is willing to eat your cooking. But forget it, your Guuji is magnanimous and won't hold it against you. If you can satisfy your Guuji, I have a big reward for you. I am the richest woman in Japan, you know. Wouldn't you like to cling to your Guuji's long, white legs, little one?"

Looking at Yae Miko's two bare legs beneath her Miko outfit, Hakuto looked away with difficulty.

"Forget it. Thirty like a wolf, forty like a tiger, at fifty can sit on the ground and suck the earth dry. You, a several hundred-year-old fox Spirit, are more than I can handle. Goodbye."

Yae Miko's teeth ground together audibly.

"I'll give you a chance to rephrase that. Otherwise..."

Boom!!!

A sudden thunderclap sounded from the sky, followed by a bolt of lightning striking right beside Hakuto's feet.

"How terrifying. A several hundred-year-old Grand Guuji."

Yae Miko's teeth clenched. She glared at Hakuto. "Don't let there come a day when you need to beg me. I'll make you pay."

Then Yae Miko ignored Hakuto until Kikyo arrived.

"Guuji Yae!"

Yae Miko looked at Kikyo and snorted unpleasantly. "Kikyo, he needs something from you. Help him if you can. If not, send him away. Your Guuji doesn't want to see him right now."

After saying this, Yae Miko swayed her hips and left.

Hakuto told Kikyo about the Legendary Cooking Utensil.

If it were anyone else, Hakuto might not have trusted them. But he trusted Kikyo.

[In the original work, the Miko Kikyo died protecting the Shikon Jewel. I won't let that happen in this life.]

"There is a spring in the back mountains of the Grand Narukami Shrine. If you wash it every day with water from that spring, and I use my power to purify it, I think it should be effective."

"Will it affect you?"

"No. It's like eating and drinking."

Hakuto carefully looked at Kikyo, making sure she wasn't lying before letting out a breath. He took the Jade Dragon Pot out of his space ring and handed it to Kikyo.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Miko Kikyo. I owe you a favor for this. If you need anything, please feel free to come to me."

"Okay."

[As expected, Kikyo is really beautiful. I wonder if Inuyasha exists in this world. If he does, I'll find a way to neuter that dog.]

[As expected, Kikyo is the best kind of Miko. A mischievous one like Yae Miko, cuih~]

At the shrine, Yae Miko was grinding her teeth. This Hakuto really knew how to praise one and put down the other. Where was she inferior to Kikyo?

"Then I'll take my leave now. I'll leave the matter of the Jade Dragon Pot to you, Miko Kikyo."

Watching Hakuto leave, Kikyo spoke. "Guuji Yae, you can come out now."

Yae Miko walked out and looked at Kikyo.

"This little one has no taste. He actually said I'm inferior to you. How infuriating."

After leaving the Grand Narukami Shrine, Hakuto contacted Kirari.

Then the two agreed on a meeting place.

Hakuto still remembered that Kirari had said she knew the whereabouts of a Legendary Cooking Utensil.

"Earlier, you said you knew the whereabouts of a Legendary Cooking Utensil. Now it's time to fulfill that promise."

The first words out of his mouth upon meeting Kirari were asking for the whereabouts of the Legendary Cooking Utensil.

"If you want to know the whereabouts of the Legendary Cooking Utensil, you have two options. First, gamble with me. If you win, I'll tell you. Second, conquer me. If you conquer me, then everything of mine is yours, including the whereabouts of the Legendary Cooking Utensil."
