Yukino Yukinoshita looked at her sister, Haruno: "Are there any famous artifact exhibitions in Chiba City recently?"

Although Yukino Yukinoshita isn't a psychic, she's been in the Overload Society for so long that she naturally understands a simple truth.

Ordinary psychics, no matter how strong their spiritual power, cannot directly influence a city.

Even Yozora, in full aura mode, only has a range of about a hundred miles, and no evil spirits dare to linger.

According to Haruno's description, the density of evil spirits in Chiba City has increased at least fivefold.

The only known psychic in Chiba City is Haruno Yukinoshita, and her spiritual power isn't very strong. After all, she hasn't let her Soul Avatar, Hienma, devour many evil spirits. Although her combat power isn't weak due to receiving milk training, her spiritual power level is just so-so, even inferior to Anjo Naruko and Yurigawa Hana, who awakened later.

So many evil spirits, all attracted by her?

Impossible.

"Artifact exhibition..."

After thinking carefully, Haruno Yukinoshita suddenly seemed to realize something.

"That's right, the Kusanagi Sword!"

"Kusanagi Sword..."

The moment she heard this name, Yukino Yukinoshita's expression changed.

The Kusanagi Sword is the top of the Three Sacred Treasures of the Sakura Province. Even the Onimaru Kunitsuna, one of the Five Great Swords Under Heaven, can only be called a slightly famous artifact in front of the Kusanagi Sword.

There are many legends about the Kusanagi Sword, all of which are mythical stories related to gods.

The Kusanagi Sword is known as a divine weapon.

If it's a spiritual object of this level, it's reasonable for it to affect the entire city and increase the number of evil spirits in Chiba City.

"Kusanagi Sword... Why would it be in Chiba City?"

Hearing the question raised by Yukino Yukinoshita, Haruno pursed her lips, her expression a little complicated.

"This... Because our Yukinoshita Construction Company recently built a new city museum for the Chiba City government... Then, with the help of the Shinomya Group's connections, we borrowed some artifacts from Atsuta Shrine for a three-day exhibition. The highlight is the Kusanagi Sword. This is also to promote the reputation of our Yukinoshita Construction Company, equivalent to advertising."

Yukino Yukinoshita was speechless upon hearing this.

So, after all this, Yukinoshita Haruno herself brought the Kusanagi Sword to Chiba City, causing this increase in evil spirits?

Just then, Yozora suddenly spoke.

"No... If it's just the Kusanagi Sword, according to the public's belief in this divine weapon, the evil spirits in Chiba City should decrease, not increase. There must be some other hidden reason."

"Could it be..."

A terrifying guess emerged in Yukino Yukinoshita's mind.

"Someone wants to take this opportunity to steal the Kusanagi Sword!?!"

Hearing this, Haruno's smile also froze.

What a joke?

That's the Kusanagi Sword! More importantly, bringing the Kusanagi Sword to Chiba City for exhibition in the newly renovated museum of Yukinoshita Construction Company was a plan initiated by Yukinoshita Construction Company with the help of the Shinomya Group's connections and influence.

If the national treasure of Sakura Province, the top of the Three Sacred Treasures, is lost...

Wouldn't Yukinoshita Construction Company be held accountable?

Even if it doesn't go bankrupt directly, will they still be able to receive government contracts in the future?

If this really happens, Yukinoshita Construction Company, which had already vaguely become the leading engineering group in Sakura Province, will directly fall to the bottom. In the future, let alone receiving big orders, it's uncertain whether anyone would be willing to cooperate with them.

"But, if we can take the Kusanagi Sword away without anyone knowing and replace it with a substitute without anyone noticing, then we..."

Just as Yukino Yukinoshita was halfway through her sentence, a beautiful woman in black mourning clothes suddenly appeared at the table and directly picked up a steak knife, staring fiercely at Yukino Yukinoshita.

"Watch your words, I don't allow it."

Yukino Yukinoshita was stunned.

"You... Who are you?"

"I am Onimaru Kunitsuna."

"Huh?"

Before Yukino Yukinoshita could speak, Onimaru Kunitsuna snorted softly.

"Don't worry, I only let you, Haruno, and Master see me. The other guests can't see me."

This was the first time Yukino Yukinoshita knew that Yozora's famous sword, Onimaru Kunitsuna, could actually transform into a human form?

And after transforming into a human form, she even calls Yozora Master...

Wait a minute.

This plot development, why does it feel a little wrong?

Onimaru Kunitsuna, contrary to her usual behavior, showed the same hostility towards Yukino Yukinoshita, a human, as she would towards a shower head.

She felt the crisis.

Kusanagi Sword? If a divine weapon of this level is really brought back to the Overload Society...

Besides her Master, Yozora, who else can control it?

It can't be taken back and enshrined, right?

Yukino Yukinoshita's proposal...

It's simply taking Onimaru Kunitsuna's life!!!

Chapter 440 Haruno's Torture of Yukino, Yukinoshita Company's Dinner

"Why are you so emotional?"

Unlike Yukino Yukinoshita, Haruno Yukinoshita, as a psychic, had heard Futaba Rio say that Yozora's long sword had the ability to transform into a human form. Seeing Onimaru Kunitsuna transform into a beautiful woman, she wasn't so surprised, but said calmly.

"Replacing the Kusanagi Sword without anyone knowing is basically impossible."

Then, Haruno Yukinoshita slowly began to introduce.

"My and Yukino's parents attach great importance to this exhibition. Yozora, you also know that my and Yukino's father is a Chiba Prefecture assemblyman. To protect the safety of the Kusanagi Sword and prevent any mistakes, not only the Chiba City Police Department but even personnel from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department have been dispatched. At that time, the area within a ten-kilometer radius will be under surveillance."

"Moreover, at any second of the twenty-four hours, even in the dead of night after the exhibition closes, there will always be over a hundred Metropolitan Police Department members stationed inside the museum. The perimeter security will also never be relaxed, leaving no room for any lapse of even a second."

"It's because of those two incidents of yours, taking the Onimaru Kunitsuna and Mikazuki Munechika so brazenly from the Kyoto Municipal Museum and the Tokyo National Museum, that this time the security is especially…"

Hearing this, Onimaru Kunitsuna suddenly interrupted.

"Hey, what do you mean 'taking'? Let me just say, I went with Master willingly. It's not like Master forced me. I decided it myself."

Yukino Yukinoshita and Haruno Yukinoshita: "…"

The sisters exchanged glances, both thinking the same thing.

Seriously…

Is this harem god capable of conquering even non-human species?

Tamao-mae, Hachishaku-sama, Enmusubi-no-Kami, Menma, spiritual bodies like those are one thing, but a sword? You can even make her transform into a human form before conquering her?

Really?

Is this the true value of a harem god?

"Then, as a sword…"

Haruno Yukinoshita forcibly suppressed her urge to retort and asked Onimaru Kunitsuna.

"What do you think we should do now?"

"I don't know."

Onimaru Kunitsuna shook his head decisively, speaking with righteous conviction.

"I'm just a sword. I don't have the ability to think."

Haruno Yukinoshita couldn't help but roll her eyes and curl her lips.

"I believe you about as far as I can throw you."

"However…"

Onimaru Kunitsuna changed his tone, his brow furrowing slightly.

"If you think the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi is the same kind of thing as me, then you're sorely mistaken."

Yukino Yukinoshita was somewhat curious.

"Why?"

Onimaru Kunitsuna glanced at the three people in front of him, especially Yukino Yukinoshita sitting beside Yozora, and nudged his head.

"Give me that spot next to Master, and I'll tell you."

Yukino Yukinoshita looked speechless as she swapped places with Onimaru Kunitsuna, who had been sitting next to Haruno Yukinoshita, muttering softly.

"Honestly… acting like that spot next to him is so rare…"

"Of course, it's rare."

Onimaru Kunitsuna said bluntly, feeling much happier, the whole sword… no, the whole person, became much happier after sitting next to Yozora.

"He's Master, after all. Who wouldn't want to sit next to him?"

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at Yozora's handsome face with a smile, feeling the gazes that the other female customers in the restaurant were occasionally casting at their table, and couldn't refute it, only huffing softly.

"If you say so, then so be it. No argument."

"If you can't argue, then just say you can't argue."

Onimaru Kunitsuna said mercilessly, then composed himself and said seriously.

"I have a very clear understanding of myself. Although I have a big reputation and a self-awareness, like the Mikazuki Munechika, Juzumaru Tsunetsugu, and Dojigiri Yasutsuna you've seen, we are ultimately just weapons. We can choose who we want to be used by, but in the end, we are just weapons."

"But the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi is completely different from us."

"I don't know if you've ever heard of the term, Shintai?"

Yukino Yukinoshita and Haruno Yukinoshita both looked puzzled and shook their heads. After all, they weren't Mieruko Yotsuya, nor were they Mitsuha Miyamizu or Ruka Urushibara, who had been shrine maidens. They didn't know much about the myths and legends of Sakura Province, let alone professional terms like "Shintai."

Yozora replied knowledgeably.

"Shintai, also known as the body of a god, refers to objects that people believe can represent the power of a god and receive offerings in place of the god."

"That's right."

Onimaru Kunitsuna nodded, choosing an easy-to-understand way to explain to the Yukinoshita sisters sitting across from him.

"For example, if Master were to become a god, although he's not far off now, let's just say if a 'Masked God' appeared, then the weapon he held, which is me, would be qualified to become the 'Masked God's' Shintai."

"And you two are also qualified to become 'Shintai,' oh, no, wait…"

Onimaru Kunitsuna pointed at Yukino Yukinoshita sitting across from him.

"I forgot, Haruno has the qualification, you don't."

Hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita felt an uncomfortable feeling in her heart that she couldn't quite describe.

Why is she always the one being persecuted?

Buying lingerie also leads to persecution, her academic performance is constantly bullied by Yozora and Kaguya Shinomiya, and when the opening ceremony announces the list of winners for the first season, she has to be the first one removed. Now, even when Onimaru Kunitsuna is explaining things, he has to specifically exclude her.

If she doesn't join the harem soon, how will she survive in the Super Club!

"Oh, I understand."

Haruno Yukinoshita noticed the slightly complex expression on her sister's face, but didn't say anything, continuing Onimaru Kunitsuna's topic.

"So, objects, or even people, that have a connection with a god can become the so-called Shintai, representing the formless god to receive people's offerings, right?"

"That's right, that's the idea."

Onimaru Kunitsuna nodded, his expression appearing somewhat grave.

"The Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi represents two gods, one is the well-known one in Sakura Province, Susanoo-no-Mikoto, who slayed the Yamata no Orochi, and the other is Yamato Takeru, who has the name of a martial god."

"The Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi itself is actually just a cold weapon with a relatively long history, but like myself, the legends about this sword will undoubtedly give it some kind of peculiar power."

Hearing Onimaru Kunitsuna's words, both Haruno and Yukino realized the seriousness of the matter, especially Haruno Yukinoshita, who, as a spiritual ability user, showed a nervous expression for the first time.
