Tokyo: My family's shrine is very big (1-395).

Summary

Bei Yuan Yang Cai is startled when Nagayama Yuuzuru shows up at her home, holding a jade pendant that she had thought was lost. Despite her initial fear of him being a stalker, she invites him in, only to feel regret for letting a stranger into her home. Nagayama Yuuzuru playfully criticizes the messiness of her house and engages in banter with her younger brother, Bei Yuan Nagi, whom he teasingly calls the "Sea King." The conversation reveals Nagi's social life, which angers Bei Yuan Yang Cai as she worries about her brother's focus on romance instead of studies. Nagayama Yuuzuru insists on returning the jade pendant, which he claims has protective properties and a tracking function. Despite her reluctance to accept it, he uses forceful persuasion, leading to an intimate moment that leaves Bei Yuan Yang Cai conflicted between fear and attraction. After a brief struggle, she accepts the pendant, and they share a moment that feels akin to a romantic gesture. As Nagayama Yuuzuru prepares to leave, he secretly gives her a large sum of money, which she initially rejects. However, he kisses her again, leaving her confused about their relationship and whether she is becoming his "kept woman." Meanwhile, Nagi resolves to work hard to support his sister and avoid relying on Nagayama's money. The chapter shifts focus to Nagayama Yuuzuru, who contemplates his plans for expanding Dragon Palace's influence while receiving a visitor, Gao Qiao Guang, who wishes to establish a shrine in Oshima Town after the local Mishima Shrine was abandoned. He considers her request, intrigued by the potential benefits of claiming that territory.
