The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 649: The Journey to the Mountain of Osorrow (2)

"Eh? Are we going to Mount Osorezan?" Inuyama Heita asked with his eyes wide open.

Qian Xiaoyi sat behind his desk with his feet on it and answered, "Yeah~ Not just us, but also Kongo, Terao Yu, Kidou, and the Suzuna siblings. You've been training for a while now, it's time to find a place where you can actually fight and conduct the second phase of training. That place is perfect."

Inuyama Heita nodded. As one of the three major sacred places in Japan, Mount Osore does have some terrifying legends. It is normal if there are monsters and demons there.

After going through so many things, under normal circumstances, ordinary ghosts are not enough for them to fight, so they must find a more powerful place.

"Stare..." On the side, Suzuki looked at Qian Xiaoyi silently with a resentful look, holding the account book in his hand.

Qian Xiaoyi pretended to be a rogue and said bluntly: "Why? Even if you look at me like this, there is no suitable commission for you recently~"

"You still owe me a large sum of commission fees." Suzuki said dimly.

Qian Xiaoyi felt a headache. He knew what Suzuki was talking about, so he quickly shirked responsibility and said, "I didn't get the money either. Heitaro knows that, and you are wrong. It's not me who owes you the commission. It's that guy Nanajo Masato who owes you the commission! Do you still remember him?"

"No, I don't know him." Suzuki still stared at Qian Xiaoyi. Her meaning was very clear, she only recognized Qian Xiaoyi.

Qian Xiaoyi turned his attention to Inuyama Heita, intending to divert the blame: "By the way, Heitaro, didn't that guy Masato rent a room in your house? How about you help him urge him?"

Sure enough, Suzuki's gaze shifted to Inuyama Heita, and a gleam of light shone in his eyes.

Inuyama Heita's body stiffened while holding the mop. He quickly said, "Suzuki-san, although Mr. Nanajo lives in my house, we don't usually see him!"

He did not lie. Normally, Nanajo Masato would not come back until late at night and would go home to sleep during the day. Inuyama Heita had to go to school during the day and would not come home until the evening, which happened to be different from Nanajo Masato's time. If it had not been for the recent summer vacation, he would not have seen Nanajo Masato.

Ajian has been saying that Nanajo Masato has become a gigolo, which made Inuyama Heita suspicious. Otherwise, how could a part-time job be so profitable?
"Wait... why is that guy living in your house?" Suzuki suddenly thought of a question. Isn't that the eldest son of the Nanajyo Group?

Suzuki actually still had an impression of that person. He was the one who invited them to dinner. And that day, Brother B had diarrhea badly and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. She was deeply impressed.

Inuyama Heita explained the current situation of Shichijo Masato somewhat awkwardly, which surprised Suzuki.

"So... I won't get the commission fee?" Suzuki asked.

After hearing this, Qian Xiaoyi felt a little embarrassed. He had already paid for all the commissions of other people except the firm. Suzuki also played a crucial role in that commission. However, due to the revenge of the Hundred Ghosts recently, he had not taken on many commissions, so he really could not come up with so much money.

Suzuki lowered his head, as if he was sad.

Inuyama Heita was about to say something to comfort her when he saw Suzuki looking up, his eyes gleaming with an indescribable light: "…Since there is no commission, let's create another one."

"What?" Qian Xiaoyi opened his mouth slightly.

Suzuki explained: "In fact, because it is the last summer vacation in high school, Kawasaki-senpai has been clamoring to come to Brother Otoko and ask the Psychic Club to conduct a ghost-hunting activity."

Qian Xiaoyi thought of the troublesome boy with glasses and asked, "They are already in the third year of high school, right? Aren't they preparing for the entrance examination?" The college entrance examination in Japan is usually held in January, and the graduation ceremony is in March.

"His family is very rich." Suzuki reminded that some good private universities can be attended even if one has money.

"..." Qian Xiaoyi shook his head, thinking that the guy had changed his personality. He asked, "What's the background of Kawasaki's family?"

Suzuki said, "His family opened a real estate company."

Inuyama Heita said in surprise: "That Kawasaki Real Estate?"

"Is it very famous?" Qian Xiaoyi asked.

"Although it is not as big as the Shichijo Group, it is also a very large company," said Inuyama Heita.

"Okay, okay..." Qian Xiaoyi sighed, "I thought his family was just an ordinary wealthy family, but I didn't expect he was a young master."

But come to think of it, how could a child from an ordinary family go through so much trouble?

After thinking about it, Qian Xiaoyi made a decision and said to Suzuki, "Okay, I'll leave it to you. Since he has caused us so much trouble, we must make him bleed a little. You can take half of the commission this time, as compensation for you."

Suzuki adjusted his glasses, a cold light flashed across the lenses: "I understand."

Watching the two men make an ugly deal in front of him, Inuyama Heita trembled in the corner.

Suzuki noticed that there was another person in the room. She turned around and asked, "Inuyama-san, will you cooperate with me?"

Inuyama Heita nodded repeatedly. This woman was so scary.

After Suzuki left, Inuyama Heita breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Brother O, is it okay for Kawasaki-senpai and the others to go with us?"

Qian Xiaoyi said, "It should be fine. The three sacred places on Mount Osorezan are actually a tourist area, very popular with tourists. Let them spend some money to soak in the hot springs and experience the spiritual ceremony. Nothing should go wrong. Besides, Kawasaki hasn't caused any trouble in this period of time. He should be more mature now."

Inuyama Heita thought about it and felt that it was true. It seemed that Kawasaki-senpai had not caused any trouble recently. It seemed that he had learned his lesson from the previous cultural festival.

What's more, Brother O had taken them to the Iwama Shrine before and asked for a talisman from the spirit hall master. Inuyama Heita had personal experience with the talisman and it was indeed very effective. Ordinary monsters and ghosts could not get close to it at all. Even if Senior Kawasaki wanted to do something, he would probably fail because of the talisman.

After figuring this out, Inuyama Heita no longer had any worries. He was even a little disappointed that he didn't seem to get any share. He hoped to talk to Suzuki later and see if he could get some.

Qian Xiaoyi told the others about the trip to Mount Osore and asked them to make preparations. A few days later, the group came with bags and took the Shinkansen as if they were going on a trip to another place. They arrived at the northernmost tip of Japan's Honshu Island, Aomori Prefecture, near the Karuzu Strait, where Mount Osore is located.
