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

Summary

After the shrine maidens signed their contracts, Nagayama Yuuzuru and Fu Shan Ling discussed expansion plans for the Longjun Shrine, which would include constructing the Mikawa Mountain God Shrine. The eight-foot figure, now the mountain god, was regaining her strength but faced challenges ahead. Yuuzuru planned to enshrine her statue in the Longjun Shrine and had sufficient funds for the project, unaware that they had been depleted by Fu Shan Ling. In the early morning, two groups arrived at the Longjun Shrine: the Fujiwara sisters and the captured fox demons. Yuuzuru decided to hand over the remaining female fox demons to the eight-foot figure. He noticed Hu Gu Ying Ji, a tier four fox demon, who was alive but in a dazed state, and considered her unsuitable as a shikigami due to her corruption. Meanwhile, Fujiwara Kaori, the village girl, met the eight-foot figure, who reassured her about her identity. Kaori expressed a desire to be considered the eight-foot figure's sister. The White Fox Maiden later proposed to take Teng Yuan Qian Ji as her disciple, which she accepted, seeking strength to protect her family. Yuuzuru supported this decision, albeit with some reluctance. As news of the fox escape spread, invitations were sent to major factions in Nara Prefecture, showcasing Yuuzuru's accomplishments against Hu Gu. Two monks from Todai-ji Temple arrived at Longjun Shrine, intrigued by the developments. The old monk, Kong Shan, recognized the significance of the dragon and the shrine's rising power. Tensions arose when Hei Ze Zhen from Yoshino Shrine challenged the newcomers, blaming them for the death of his master. Gao Ye Qing Nai defended the shrine, pointing out the true cause of death related to Hu Gu Guang Xiu. Nagayama Yuuzuru revealed Ji Ye Ren Shan's half-charred corpse, implicating Hu Gu in the corruption. This revelation shifted the perception of Yoshino Shrine negatively among the factions present.
