The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 428: The Great Battle of Exorcism (5)

The door of the lounge was pushed open, and the housekeeper's familiar introduction came. Terao Yu, who was standing in front of the window, turned around and looked at the newcomer.

"She is... Suzuna?" Suzuna's information immediately appeared in Terao Yu's mind: "Kousaka Suzuna, stage name Suzuna, heiress of Kousaka Shrine, part-time anchor, exorcist level rating C, currently has no impressive record, and is best at... deceiving clients? Her reputation was not good before, but she got lucky recently and became a little famous on TV by relying on the thigh of a psychic detective, so is this why she was invited?"

The butler retreated, and just as Suzuna was about to take some details of the lounge, a disdainful voice rang out.

"Isn't this Suzuna? How did she appear here? Could it be that Boss Fuji's commission standards have been lowered again?"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman in a white kimono. When she saw Ling Na, she couldn't help but reveal a look of disgust on her face. She said sarcastically, "Did Boss Fuji invite people from the TV station to promote it?"

"Mariko Shinno, a psychic, a B-class exorcist with remarkable psychic abilities, seems to hate Suzuna? Did something happen in the past?" Terao Itsuki hugged her chest, leaned against the wall, and observed the fight between the two women with great interest.

After hearing what Shinno Mariko said, Suzuna pretended to be surprised, covered her mouth and asked, "Eh? Um...Auntie, do you know me?"

"What are you talking about? Who are you calling auntie?" Shenneng Mariko was angry, and even her Kansai accent was exposed: "Have you forgotten me so quickly? Or do you not want to admit what you did last year?"

Of course Suzuna didn't forget. In fact, she remembered it very clearly. It all started with a commission last year. She had deceived the client into giving her business away, so the other party held a grudge against her.

Other things would be fine, she would just feel a little guilty, but this guy is a psychic, and psychics never tell the truth. Instead of letting the client be cheated by others, it is better to let her do the cheating!

"Ah~ I remember now!" Suzuna pretended to be very guilty and said, "I'm sorry, you are Ms. Marimi, right? I didn't expect that the client would choose me in the end~ I'm really sorry, I can't decide on that kind of thing..."

Shinno Mariko said angrily, "Who is Marimi? Marimi? Mariko! My name is Shinno Mariko! Do you want to quarrel?"

A fighting spirit ignited in Suzuna's eyes.

Just when the two women had warmed up and were preparing to have a good literary exchange in the lounge, a voice interrupted them.

"You two, why are you so irritable in such a pleasant place?" A monk with a crew cut stood up and said with a smile, "It's not easy for us to get together here. It's fate. Why don't you try the coffee here, sit in front of the fireplace and read a book to relax your body and mind? How about it?"

Suzuna suddenly saw an acquaintance and said in surprise, "Master Kito?"

Kito Ryuko nodded with a smile and said, "Long time no see, Miss Suzuna. It has been more than half a year since we last met."

When Shinno Mariko saw that Kifuji Ryuko came out to negotiate peace, she snorted coldly and said, "For the sake of Senior Kifuji, I will not bother with you for the time being."

"He is indeed worthy of being called Master Kitano." Terao Yu sighed in his heart: "A-level exorcists are extraordinary. Master Kitano has been working in the exorcist circle in Tokyo for many years and making many friends. Everyone will give him some face. It seems that we can't watch the good show of fighting between women." Terao Yu still felt a little regretful, but he still maintained a cold expression and turned around pretentiously to look at the scenery outside the window.

"That fellow Gui Teng has gone too?" Qian Xiaoyi asked, "Isn't he still practicing?"

On the other end of the phone, Ling Na said: "I heard that President Fuji paid a large sum of money to invite him out. He has a great reputation in the circle."

"As expected of Master Gui Teng." Qian Xiaoyi sighed, and then asked, "So what happened?"

"I'll get to it soon." Ling Na said a little frustrated: "If I had known I would be so unlucky..."

Afterwards, the two got along peacefully with the mediation of Ryuko Kidou. However, considering that Suzuna did not have a good reputation in the eyes of other colleagues and was only one step away from being called a "liar" and a "scum", Suzuna quickly left the lounge with the photographer and began to shoot other places in the mansion.

They first came to the room to tidy it up, and then went to the library, entertainment room, and even the kitchen to take pictures. The yard could not be missed.

It was not until the dinner bell rang that they returned to the restaurant and took their seats.

"What's going on? There's nothing here." An exorcist looked at the empty plate and complained, "I haven't eaten anything all day."

Terao Yu looked at the guy who was complaining, and information appeared in his mind: "Goriki Kaito, a martial arts exorcist, rated A-level, uses the Kusanagi sword passed down from his ancestors to exorcise spirits. He has always claimed that the sword in his hand is the real one, and the one enshrined in Atsuta Jingu (one of the three major shrines in Japan) is fake."

Gui Teng Longguang sat in his seat with a smile and said, "Be patient, proper hunger is the best seasoning. The food we will eat later will become especially sweet, so be patient and wait. I believe that Fuji Western House will not neglect its guests. There must be a reason."

After hearing his words, the exorcist curled his lips, but ultimately said nothing. He just sat in the chair impatiently.

Suzuna glanced at Ryuko Kidou and thought that this old monk seemed more stable after practicing, and his words were full of philosophy. Could it be that he really gained something from his practice?
As if noticing Suzuna's look, Kidou Ryuko looked over, and Suzuna immediately smiled: "Master Kidou is right, I went to the kitchen before and saw that the food there has been prepared a long time ago. The reason why he hasn't come up now is probably because he is waiting for someone. Isn't there an empty seat here?"

Everyone looked towards the empty seat. There was indeed a set of tableware and a chair at the edge of the long table. It seemed that they were waiting for this person to start the meal.

The outspoken Shenneng Mariko said sourly: "Who on earth is it? Why did they make us wait so long? It's really outrageous."

Although the others didn't say it out loud, they all thought so in their hearts. They were all exorcists who came out to earn commissions. Why should so many people wait for him? Isn't he too arrogant?

But when the door of the restaurant was pushed open and the person they had been waiting for appeared, soon no one thought so anymore.
