Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Eliminate them directly; it's very simple.

The most difficult thing for an exorcist is purification, which means making both parties satisfied.

In this regard, Grandpa often visited friends to discuss and share his experiences, thereby improving his own character and understanding.

Humans can be good or bad, and so can monsters.

If Gu Yun encounters an extremely evil monster, he need not show any mercy.

If the other party is wicked, I am even more wicked.

Even if we want to reason things out, we have to convince both sides first before we can sit down and talk things over.

"Therefore, we need to strive to improve ourselves."

Grandpa told Gu Yun that they were beings between two worlds, and that they were diplomats who upheld the law.

"Okay, we're here."

As they were talking, Gu Yun saw a simple and ancient torii gate standing in front of them.

"Crossing over this torii gate, we enter another world."

This torii gate is not the vermilion color commonly seen in Japan; it is constructed entirely of wood.

Under the torii gate, an elderly woman in a kimono stood waiting for her grandfather to arrive.

"Master Iijima".

The old woman was a fox spirit in this mountain, and the most senior of all the fox spirits.

She made a pact with this forest, allowing her to cultivate using the forest's spiritual energy, thus possessing the demonic power of a mid-level demon.

"Excuse me, Granny Fox."

Grandpa, with his two children, bowed to the fox spirit before them, demonstrating the etiquette of the Iijima family.

"Are these two little ones the master's grandsons?"

"right."

Grandpa introduced them: "The older one is Gu Yun, and the younger one is Lü."

"Om~~~"

As Grandpa introduced Ritsu and Gu Yun, the Hundred Demons Scroll stirred once again, shimmering with a pale blue light.

"Open the scroll."

Gu Yun thought to himself as the scroll slowly unfurled.

Three-tailed Fox

Awakening Quest: Encounter 10 fox-like monsters (level not limited)

Completed: 1/10

"Hey?"

Gu Yun looked at the three-tailed fox's mission: to deal with fox-like monsters. This was much simpler than dealing with five dragons.

"aunt."

"Mother."

Just then, two small figures ran out from behind Granny Fox. They had fox ears on their heads and fox tails behind them.

Judging from their appearance, they are about the same age as Lu, around 5 years old.

Three-tailed Fox

Awakening Quest: Encounter 10 fox-like monsters (level not limited)

Completed: 3/10

"So fast!"

Gu Yun looked at his grandfather, who smiled slightly and said, "I'll leave the law to you, little Gu Yun."

"Uh, okay."

Gu Yun grabbed his younger brother's hand. He carried many talismans and was protected by Xiao Bai.

In some ways, he was actually more powerful than Granny Fox.

The people who should truly be afraid are not the Iijima family, but Fox Forest.

"Gu Yun".

Suddenly, Grandpa called out to Gu Yun.

The latter turned around, looked into his grandfather's eyes, and the old man smiled slightly: "You mustn't bully them."

"I know, Grandpa."

Gu Yun understood what her grandfather meant.

He still subconsciously distinguishes too clearly between monsters and humans.

Just like people from a past life who would instinctively scream when they encountered a ghost, because they thought ghosts were evil.

Gu Yun's initial thought was like visiting his grandfather's friend's house, then touching the pistol in his pocket, and then breathing a sigh of relief.

What is this doing?

Is Fox Forest a yakuza organization or an evil group?

They are just foxes who have lived here for hundreds of years; Gu Yun and his group are the outsiders.

"My name is Kotaro, and this is my younger sister, Ayako."

Fox Taro and Ayako bowed politely to Tanigumo, just like children from an ancient Japanese noble family.

"Forehead."

Gu Yun could only mimic them and return the greeting: "My name is Iijima Gu Yun, and this is my younger sister, Iijima Ritsu."

Gu Yun remembered his grandfather's instructions: in front of outsiders, he had to address Lu as his younger sister.

This reversal of genders is a deception of the perception of monsters, a disguised form of protection.

Chapter 7 Three-Tailed Fox

Gu Yun couldn't get along with the three children, but Lu became friends with the two little foxes.

The three of them were playing house there. Gu Yun listened for a moment and it seemed to be a game of playing the bride and groom.

'That's what kids are like.'

I remember in my past life, when I was little, I seemed to have played with some close female friends.

'But it seems there's no danger now.'

If there were a problem, the snail wouldn't have brought its two grandsons to the Fox Forest.

'This is a perfect opportunity to complete the mission.'

So Gu Yun made up an excuse and quietly left his seat, and began to make contact with the fox-woman who was visiting him.

In just a short while, Gu Yun had already collected 8/10 of the task.

"We still need six more."

Gu Yun thought to himself, "Two more, and I can summon the Three-Tailed Fox."

“Gu Yun, Lü”.

Grandpa came over and led the four of them over.

Granny Fox also showed a gentle smile: "The luncheon has been prepared. Please invite the young master and princess of the Iijima family to take their seats."

The Iijima family and the Fox Forest have a close relationship.

Because their grandfather had helped them before.

Foxes hold grudges, but they also know how to repay kindness.

But as Grandpa gets older, this relationship is about to come to an end.

Grandpa didn't want Lu to step into this world; the child didn't have the power to fight against demons.

This refers not only to spiritual power, but also to one's character and temperament.

Ritsu Iijima is too timid and has a weak personality. Her grandfather is almost certain that this child will not like living with demons in the future.

Grandpa breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little disappointed.

Fortunately, he still had Gu Yun.

Gu Yun's appearance gave Grandpa a new perspective.

He wanted to leave as much of his network of contacts as possible for Gu Yun in the time to come.

In the world of exorcists, connections are the foundation, an extremely valuable asset.

As the eldest son of the third generation of the Iijima family, Gu Yun naturally has the right and obligation to inherit these things.

The only problem…

How do we explain this to Xiaohuan?

Watching Gu Yun move among the fox spirits, Grandpa was quite troubled: 'This is really a headache.'

"Clang! Clang!"

As evening approached, the fox spirits played musical instruments, strummed the shamisen, and sang Japanese songs.

The Fox Forest's hospitality was so lavish that many of the forest's yokai came out.

They were either dancing strange dances with wine cups in their hands, or laughing and frolicking, and for a time, the whole banquet was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"These dishes are delicious."

Japanese cuisine is known for its exquisiteness, and the food prepared by the yokai (supernatural beings) is even more precious from the mountains.

Even the wealthiest ordinary person probably wouldn't have the opportunity to enjoy such a lunch.
