Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

"Hello."

Grass Father said shyly and softly, "I, I am Yingcao."

"This is a Zashiki-warashi!"

"Yeah, very good."

Sode Shirayuki seems to be very good at dealing with children, and after a head pat, she keeps going, rapidly increasing the two little ones' favorability.

“We have a few companions. The three-tailed fox is with the master’s mother, working and protecting her safety.”

"Miss Tianhu stayed at home and did not come out with us."

“You should know both Prajna and Hakuzosu,” Hongye quickly introduced. “They are in the present world watching over the physical bodies of the master and Mr. Snail.”

"Prajna, you, and this white-clad sword spirit."

Sister Hua is very strong, and is now Gu Yun's top combatant: "Since she has such great power, why..."

"I know what you mean."

Hongye shook her head: "But rather than my verbal explanation, it would be better for you to see it for yourself. Perhaps then you will better understand the master's thoughts."

As she spoke, Hongye touched her forehead with her finger and then drew out a strand of orange thread of longing.

This is a spell that materializes memories. For a demon, sharing what it sees and hears with others is not a difficult task.

"Take a look. After you see it, you'll understand the master's attitude."

Then, the light screen unfolded, revealing the very words that Gu Yun had once spoken when he looked down upon Tokyo from high above, calling it a divine carriage.

'All I can do now is put my hand in front of my eyes, blocking my entire view.'

'But that's just like a frog in a well, with a limited view of the sky.'

'I wish it were a little bigger.'

'Like that…'

'Perhaps I could control everything in this world.'

"Cut! Cut ...

Sister Hua cupped her face in her hands, her eyes sparkling with affection for Gu Yun, which was almost overflowing.

"Ah~ Master, you're really amazing~"

At that moment, Gu Yun's declaration resonated deeply in Hua Jie's heart.

Those words, which ignited her passion and made her yearn to wage war against the entire world, completely captivated her.

Perhaps in other people's eyes, Gu Yun is still just a child.

But monsters have a different vision than humans.

More than appearance, monsters care about a human's aura, presence, and imposing presence.

Undoubtedly, the light emanating from Gu Yun is the most beautiful scenery in the eyes of the shikigami!

"cough."

Soon, Sister Hua returned to her original appearance.

Her character is that of a cold, aloof, and lonely goddess of death; how could she possibly display such a shy and demure demeanor?

Well, except in front of Gu Yun.

The gentle, watery beauty of the red spider lily is reserved only for the one and only in her heart.

"Do you understand now?"

"Ah."

Sister Hua nodded and said, "My dear is still too young. He feels it's not the right time to take what he wants."

"That's right!"

Hongye was pleased that Sister Hua had this understanding: "Therefore, we cannot be too high-profile. All our actions must be based on preventing the owner from being exposed too early."

"Indeed."

No wonder Gu Yun stopped her from devouring the spirits of the dead in the Yellow Springs.

Thinking about it carefully, if we had actually made a move back then, the ghosts and gods of the underworld would definitely have jumped out.

The Red Spider Lily considers itself quite powerful, but it is still no match for so many ghosts, gods, and ghost kings.

She is the evil of the underworld, the calamity of hell.

However, even the most terrible disasters will eventually be quelled and suppressed.

Just like the Enma in the Onmyoji story, the other party didn't take her seriously at all, and even described her as an "eyesore potted plant in the courtyard".

"As the goddess of death."

As expected of the daughter of the Heavenly Demon King from a thousand years ago, Hongye's ability to bewitch people has not diminished in the slightest: "You should make your move secretly and accumulate more power while ensuring your own and your master's safety."

"You mean..."

"Isn't the soul of a ghost or god far more delicious than the soul of a mortal?"

Hongye already knows what the red spider lily needs.

She wants to seize control of the afterlife and launch a great revolution to overthrow the gods of the underworld.

But the spirits of mortals are of no use.

Unless the number is so large as to be in the millions, it's just a drop in the ocean.

"That's right."

Sister Hua asked earnestly, "So, what should I do?"

If we were to rate Hongye's leadership skills at 3...

That Sister Hua is basically equivalent to 0.

She's a shut-in from the afterlife, with no contact with the outside world, poor social skills, and no long-term plans or vision.

Fortunately, Sister Hua has the ability to recognize talent.

She thought Hongye was very smart.

He's at least smarter than her.

As fellow shikigami of Gu Yun, they are family, partners who can trust each other.

"I just encountered a strange guy."

"Ok?"

Sister Hua looked at Red Leaf in confusion, only to hear the latter say, "Hell Girl."

"what is that?"

Higanbana had never heard of Hell Girl; she was unfamiliar with this world.

So, Hongye explained the concept of Hell Girl to Huajie, saying that the other party was a child of the gods who was bound by the rules of hell.

"Is the 'Sending Off the Son of God' something like a living sacrifice?"

Sister Hua said, "And then what do you want me to do? Eat her?"

"Do not."

Hongye shook her head and said, "Enma's scroll is awakening. To fulfill the master's ambition, the power of that lord is indispensable."

"Tsk, Enma..."

It's estimated that no one knows Yama's strength better than Sister Hua; she is the ruler of the underworld who can easily suppress her.

Even among all shikigami, Enma's strength is among the top.

However, Higanbana and Enma are enemies, and she doesn't like that guy: "Although I don't want to admit it, Enma does have a powerful force that surpasses mine."

Seeing that Sister Hua did not reject the other party's power because of her conflict with Enma, Hongye couldn't help but nod in approval.

Being stupid isn't scary; what's truly frightening is a fool who lacks self-awareness yet loves to give orders.

Fortunately, the red spider lily is not arrogant.

Her specialty is military intimidation.

As for using one's brain, Hongye seems very intelligent, so let's leave it to her.

"It's still unclear what Hell Girl's attitude is."

"So I need to trouble you, Spider Lily, to try to make contact with her first."

“The dimension of hell stands behind the other side,” Hongye said. “Remember, do not reveal the identity of your master.”

"Do not worry."

The shikigami like Hana-nee don't usually have to stay in the Scroll Garden; it's more like a place for them to rest.

Like Kong Huan, she often freeloads outside.

Gu Yun also supports the idea that shikigami can have their own lives and find their own fun.

Moreover, Sister Hua was not actually present.

She possesses a kind of ability similar to creating clones, like the roots of a plant, allowing it to bloom in other places.

In this way, Sister Hua can complete many operations.

"And there's the Higado clan, which the master and the others were talking about earlier."

Hongye pondered, "I think it's necessary to find an opportunity to probe and gather intelligence."

"This matter might be a bit troublesome."

Sister Hua is quite powerful, but she has difficulty unleashing her full potential in the material world.

It's not that Sister Hua's strength would be suppressed in the human world, but rather that her life level is too high, making it impossible for her to directly manifest in the first dimension.

Let's say that.

Sister Hua is a spirit that transcends both evil and benevolent gods.
