Chapter 585: 200. Giant Whale, Thunder God..._2
Kasahara Fumi: "..."
The hand held in the air stiffened for a moment before slowly falling onto his back. Holding the peerless demon courtesan boy, she couldn’t help but wail in her heart: O Amaterasu, let me slap him to death.

The flames on the deck stained the sky red.
On the top level of the cabin, many people had gathered at the ship’s rail, looking outwards.
The torrential rain made their vision blurry, and they couldn’t see much, only having a vague sense that a white-haired female demon had made a move.
The sound of raindrops beating on the roof of the ship spread like mist within the narrow cabin.
At this moment, the top level of the cruise ship had yet to be affected by the flames of war, and the ordinary people’s expressions could still be considered calm. Although the members of the Shinto group were not panicked, their expressions were heavy... The suddenly appearing demon king, nobody knew whether she was an enemy or a friend.
Many people sneaked glances at the two chairpersons.
In the only restaurant on the top level, the two chairpersons had changed into shrine maiden attire and were discussing plans inside. Glass engraved with the store’s name was inset in the store’s door. Kasahara Asuka opened the door and called softly, "Mom, are you inside?"
Without waiting for a response after calling out, the girl walked straight into the store.
Unlike the dampness outside, the interior was very cool, with the scent of incense.
Wooden display stands were set against the bottom of the walls, showcasing many beautiful fan heads, like brightly colored butterflies resting there. In a secret room, Mrs. Kasahara sat on a temporarily set-up conference table, holding a meeting with others, while Hoshimi Rinko was at the end of the corridor.
Kasahara Asuka greeted her senior before stepping into the corridor barefoot.
The sea breeze blew in, swaying the warm entrance curtain, with the hall reflecting the lightning over the sea.
An elderly woman and a middle-aged man emerged from the depths of the corridor to greet them.
"Is Mom inside?" Kasahara Asuka asked.
"Yes, the chairman is busy, and she wants you, Second Miss, to follow Miss Rinko and not to run around." The elderly woman said.
Kasahara Asuka pouted.
Having just been frightened, the place she missed most now was her mother’s embrace.
The elderly woman passed by her and walked towards Hoshimi Rinko: "Miss Rinko, the chairman has something for you to do."
"Please, tell me." Hoshimi Rinko stood up suddenly, with a charming smile.
"Two nautical miles from the cruise ship, a demon whale of Demon King level is approaching." The elderly woman said, pointing to the sea. Despite the misty vision, one could faintly see the distant flickering yellow light of demonic power.
"Demon King level?" Hoshimi Rinko was a little surprised.
She was not afraid.
However, her strength was limited, and even if she were to fight with all her might, she would probably not be able to stop a Demon King.
"The chairman has naturally considered the difference in strength, which is why she wants me to give you something." The elderly woman and the middle-aged man gestured.
The middle-aged man stepped forward and presented a small wooden box.
"What’s that?"
"Go ahead and open it to see."
Hoshimi Rinko opened the small wooden box.
Inside was a beautifully closed fan.
"This is the Wind and Thunder God Fan. It was once held by Grandmaster Abe no Seimei, who used it at will to control the weather in the Capital City." The elderly woman smiled faintly, seeming to have great confidence in Miss Rinko, "With the Wind God’s side fanned hard, it will raise a strong wind; with the Thunder God’s side waved vigorously, it will call down lightning. The chairman is gifting you this fan, hoping you’ll live up to the treasure."
"Thank the chairman on my behalf."
Hoshimi Rinko took a step back and bowed in a maid’s salute.
In terms of etiquette, she was impeccably elegant, loved by everyone in the Shinto group.
"How miraculous~" Kasahara Asuka leaned over, her little eyes observing intently, "Isn’t there anything Mom has for me?"
The elderly woman frowned and said to her, "Being a fellow genius shrine maiden, your performance this time was too terrible. You should really reflect on it. Chairman Kasahara wants you to stay with Miss Rinko tonight, and if you dare to run around again, no one will come to save you."
Kasahara Asuka first sneered and stuck out her tongue.
Then, as if finally realizing what it meant to be ashamed, she blushed and lowered her head, not daring to speak.
Hoshimi Rinko smiled faintly.
She took the fan out of the wooden box and opened it.
The fan, decorated with golden silk threads, shimmered under the light. Feeling the surging divine power within and the fan spirit hidden in the fan, she observed it for a moment and twirled the fan as if dancing, yet she wasn’t thinking of dancing. She looked at the sea, raised the Wind and Thunder God Fan high, and swung it strongly.
Instantly, a strong wind swirled towards the sea like a spinning top.
The immense divine power contained therein made the always elegant and calm Hoshimi Rinko involuntarily smile with joy.
"What a great treasure!" Her face was full of confidence, taking Kasahara Asuka’s small hand, "Come, change clothes, and prepare for battle!"

The dark clouds over the sea briefly scattered, then gathered again.
The sea breeze swept by, carrying pitch black and threatening danger, like ghosts brushing past, whispering in one’s ear.
On the deck, Kasahara Fumi raised a demonic power shield to block the pouring rain. The splattering rain formed a vast white expanse outside the shield. Outside, lightning flashed like a whip, thunder roared, the momentum was overwhelming, but it could not disturb the peace within.
Holding Mrs. Fukaeri’s slender waist, Fujiwara Reya smiled and said, "Seeing the Yomi Army reminds me of some things."
Kasahara Fumi’s breathing quickened slightly, her face blushing.
She felt a bit annoyed in her heart.
Now, with the entire ship surrounded, do you really have the leisure to tease me?
