Riki's Life in Danger-He Absolutely Must Marry Mana

Riki was deeply moved.

"And the second one?" Riki asked again.

Hi, is that me?

Sumiida Mana replied earnestly, "Not for now. I need to be prepared that if there are truly happy moments in my life, then I'll put that second."

She smiled brightly and said, "Life is about having a cheerful expectation for the future!"

Donut Lady is very meticulous.

Little Taiyang Mana.

Riki was relieved to know that Mana's mood hadn't been affected by the online comments. As for the opinions online, they were indeed helpful. In the future, as Chu Hua's boyfriend, he would also help Mana to give her a boost in the Tokyo idol scene.

Riki and Sumiida Mana got into the car. Mana whispered, "If my dad talks about anything strange later, don't pay attention to him. I'll talk to him."

This time, due to various misunderstandings, Riki has to go to the family shrine, Mana is determined to clear things up.

My dad must be drunk to the point of madness; how could he possibly agree to let his daughter marry a guy who has so many girlfriends?

Although Riki is a very good boy, and I don't dislike him, he has far too many girlfriends. I need to sort things out before marrying him... no, let's just be good friends again!

They almost led them astray.

The car drove into the suburbs, surrounded by lush trees. Through the car window, Riki saw a shrine on a mountain. The two got out of the car and walked up. There were many dense steps, but Mana was already used to it and walked briskly. From Riki's observation, Mana had the power of the Goso.

Riki finally met Mana's father, who was indeed a square-faced, stern-looking middle-aged man.

Of course, Riki preferred to call him the Yasuo.

He had Wooden Sword hanging at his waist.

"Are you the young man who came here to undergo the husband-to-wife test?" Junta's father asked, arms crossed, looking at Riki.

Riki paused for a moment, then turned to look at the panicked Sumiida Mana, and said in a deep voice, "That's right."

Hey, donut, if you like me, just say so!

No need for such tricks, I'll definitely agree to your request right away.

Chapter 239 Riki's life is in danger; he must marry Mana.

"No, you've all misunderstood! Dad just asked Riki to help out, it's not some kind of new husband training!" Sumiida Mana said anxiously, waving her hands.

"But I see very few tourists at the shrine, and it doesn't seem to need much help," Riki said, looking at the quiet but ancient shrine in front of her.

Donut Lady, maybe you should just give up and stop resisting.

Let me take you down.

"That's because it's not time yet. In two days, many people taking exams will come to our shrine to pray. They'll be taking civil service exams, bar exams, and teacher's exams. Our shrine is very effective." Sumiida Mana's face lit up with pride and happiness as she spoke of her family's shrine, her smile radiant.

She lightly wagged her index finger and said, "I heard that the current president of the Tokyo University has visited our school."

"Really?" Riki asked.

"...Probably." Sumiida Mana's tone immediately softened. She had only heard about it, so she wanted to show it off to Riki as if she were displaying her own treasure.

If true.

"But we do have a lot of people coming to worship at our shrine. You'll find out tomorrow Riki," Sumiida Mana said to Riki with a smile.

Although he was called over under the pretext of asking Riki for help, for Sumiida Mana, it was more like bringing her good friend to her hometown.

She had never even brought Chu Hua back, let alone the classmates at school who kept their distance from her because of her personality and idol status. Riki was the first friend to come to her home.

She was determined to treat her good friend well and make Riki happy!

"Speaking of which, your father is the priest, isn't that the head of the shrine?" Riki asked curiously.

"Yes, Dad doesn't let Mom and me into his work room, but I can sneak in when he's not there. I'll give you his calligraphy brush; it makes your handwriting look so beautiful. I used to steal calligraphy practice books all the time when I was little." Sumiida Mana shared her past experiences with Riki.

"You can still steal it?"

"Of course, I'll also secretly show Riki the land deed from our house. It's a very old land deed," Sumiida Mana said happily.

Riki looked to the side and said, "But your father is listening right there."

Mana, what a heartless little cotton-padded jacket you are.

She hasn't even married into the Lu family yet, and they're already planning to secretly take over the land deeds?

If you marry into this family, won't you take two layers of land from this mountain and bring them to our home?

Black, damn black!

Just like a child, when a friend came to visit for the first time Sumiida Mana wanted to show Riki all the most interesting things in her house, but she forgot that her father was listening right next to her, and her face immediately froze.

Riki looked at Chun Tian's father, the old-fashioned but physically strong Yasuo, whose right hand was already on the Wooden Sword, his thumb pressing down on the hilt.

Promise me you won't use the Flying Sword Style, okay?

Such intense killing intent!

Riki broke out in a cold sweat. Could he really be killed by Junta's father right at the shrine gate before he even got started?

Are you about to utter that threatening remark—the waters of Tokyo Bay are quite cold.

Junta's father glanced at Sumiida Mana, whose face was stiff and embarrassed, then gave Riki a deep look and said, "Come in, Mana, go and clean the guest room."

"Okay~" Sumiida Mana quickly ran over.

"I'll go help too." Riki wanted to escape the range of the Yasuo's forward slash, lest she be instantly killed by an Iaido.

Chun Tian's father placed his heavy hand on Riki's shoulder. "You stay."

Wow, those calluses are so thick!

That hand move was damn powerful!

It is said that Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, was strong enough to lift a tripod. Although Chun Tian's father is not as strong as Xiang Yu, he should have no problem becoming a general in ancient times.

Junta's father's muscles are so impressive, they're like cumin in a glance.

No technology was used at all, so the muscle size is not exaggerated.

But he's still capable of crushing Rokko with a single punch.

"Okay." Riki had no choice but to obey and was led around the shrine by Junta's father.

The shrine is quite large, divided into two parts: the front is for tourists to pray for blessings, and the back is for the Junta family to rest and live in.

Moreover, it's not just this mountain; the three mountains surrounding the shrine are also the private property of the Junta family. Even if they don't rent them out, the annual yield from these mountains is enough to make the Junta family very wealthy.

Mana lived in a family where, although she had little contact with the city as a child, she was financially secure.

What terrified Riki was that the Yasuo before him hadn't uttered a word the entire way, remaining remarkably silent. This put immense psychological pressure on Riki, more so than when he was in the finals of the National Music Competition. After all... he might really be eliminated now!

They walked around and returned to the torii gate of the shrine.

Riki tentatively said, "Then I'll go help Mana clean her room."

Junta's father nodded.

Riki breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave when she suddenly heard Junta's father's deep voice, "Mana has a very straightforward personality and is too serious. She has had very few friends since she was little. She gets very excited when friends come to visit. This is the first time I've seen her smile so happily. Thank you."

"Having a serious friend like Mana is my good fortune." Riki paused for a moment, then smiled at him.

It turns out that the Yasuo is also a middle-aged man who loves his daughter but is not good with words. He has been afraid of me for so long. I always thought that parents who could raise such an upright girl as Mana could not be the kind of people who would resort to violence at the slightest disagreement.

"A friend?" Junta's father nodded, then turned and walked out of the shrine. "I'm going to hunt a deer. We'll have an extra meal tonight."

Wait, are you going deer hunting with Wooden Sword?

Is it true or false?

And that murmured remark earlier, does it mean that if I really intend to treat Mana a friend and not marry her, I'm prepared to die here?

This is... a trap!

Riki turned around and hurriedly went to find Mana. He found Sumiida Mana packing her things in a room and said earnestly, "Mana, for my sake, we must get married!"

Sumiida Mana remained frozen in place, and two seconds later her fair neck turned pink.

"Riki, you can't joke around like that. This is a very serious matter!" Sumiida Mana said earnestly, her face flushed, as she crossed her arms.

Riki shook her head and sighed, "My life is also in danger."

If I don't marry the adorable, earnest, and incredibly beautiful girl from the shrine family, her Yasuo father will kill me.

Wait, I forgot to add quotation marks, so it became a light novel.

<A Raging Wave of Swords! Lu Yi's Romantic Battle of Wits: To Survive the Fierce Swordsman, He Must Marry a Beautiful Shrine Maiden!>

Sumiida Mana patted the neatly folded quilt on the tatami mat and smiled, "Riki, you can sleep here for the next few days. I've tidied it up for you. Although the room is a bit small, it's fully equipped. I'll be staying in the room opposite yours. You can call me if you need anything."

Living so close by, doesn't that mean I can launch a night raid?

Riki had just put her luggage down when she heard Sumiida Mana running down the corridor again, peeking out with a flushed face, and saying, "Sorry Riki, even though you just arrived, can you help me? There are already so many people coming to the shrine to pray today."

Riki was there to help, so naturally he didn't refuse. When he came out, he saw Sumiida Mana wearing a red and white Miko Outfit, exuding youthful energy, with her young and beautiful face full of collagen.

She looks pure and innocent at first glance.

Sumiida Mana, dressed in a Miko Outfit, pretended not to notice Riki's surprised gaze. Actually, everyone who came to worship knew her, so it didn't matter if she wasn't wearing the Miko Outfit. However, she really wanted to see Riki's appreciative look, so she hurriedly ran back to her room and took the Miko Outfit out from under the wardrobe.

There shouldn't be any pressure marks on the clothes, right?

Sumiida Mana secretly glanced at her red Miko dress. Hmm, it was very clean and neat, still so beautiful, except that the chest area had become a little tight.

Have my clothes already become ill-fitting after only one year in Tokyo?

"Aren't the sleeves of Miko Outfit split, revealing her shoulders and armpits?" Riki asked curiously.

Sumiida Mana was taken aback, and looked at Riki suspiciously, saying, "You didn't watch some weird movie, did you? You're not allowed to disrespect clergy!"

Oh, it wasn't there before.

I was tricked by Reimu Hakurei.

When Riki returned to the shrine's torii gate, he was shocked to find that the shrine, which had been deserted just moments before, was now packed with people. No wonder he was needed to help; if it had been Mana alone, she would have been exhausted.

Riki's actions were quite relaxed, mainly because he had no experience working at a shrine, so he only needed to help sell Omamori and Ema).

Collecting money is Riki's job.

"An Ema)." - A pilgrim.

"700 yen." Riki.

"Three Omamori: peace, health, and academic success," said another visitor.

"1500 yen, wishing you good health." -Riki

"Young man, are you new to the shrine?" a young female worshipper asked Riki shyly.

"My father-in-law has already agreed to my relationship with Miss Junta," Riki said.

Agreeing to use force is also a form of consent.

Riki would find it difficult to escape even if she wanted to.

Although the Yasuo is Riki's best hero, it's also very easy for the Yasuo to defeat him.

The female worshipper sighed deeply, her gaze resolute as she looked at Riki: "Ten Omamori, not a single one for peace and health, but all for marriage."

Riki was filled with awe.

This is putting pressure on the God of Love.

Old Man of the Moon, are you sweating buckets?

Does the God of Marriage have any jurisdiction over Japan?

Never mind, there's only one China in the world.

"A sincere gift of 5000 yen, wishing you happiness." Riki uttered the same blessing as Sakiko.

Riki was making a fortune collecting money. He really enjoyed this job, seeing all sorts of people buying Omamori: students in suits praying for exam success; families of three seeking happiness and peace; and young men and women putting pressure on the God of Love.

There are as many destinies as there are people in the world, and when people want to ask for help, they will turn to gods, temples, shrines, churches, and so on.

Riki, however, preferred Daoist temples.

But I won't say it today, since I'm outside at home and the environment isn't quite right for me.
