Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Thus, for the second time, Hiratsuka Shizuka sincerely became his disciple.

And this time…

Shiro Tsubagi had inquired about it.

The Hiratsuka family is a prestigious family in Tokyo; it's not a matter of whether they're rich or not.

That's an enormous fortune!

The kind of person who has more money than they can spend!

To be honest, Shiro Tsubagi is really looking forward to it.

He was eagerly waiting for Hiratsuka Shizuka to present him with the apprenticeship gift!

'Um? '

This time, however, Jing Ke'ai said she had learned her lesson and was much smarter: "Master, don't worry, I won't insult you with money!"

Tsubagi Shiro: This is an insult! Insult me ​​all you want! I've been dreaming of you insulting me!

The result...

Well, only that man would do something like a master asking his apprentice for a gift.

Shizuka once doubted whether Tsubaki Shiro was a fraud, until he casually punched a tree that would take two people to hug and then killed a wild boar with his bare hands.

'master!!'

Jing Keke realized she was wrong; the unassuming old man in front of her was actually a true master!

"Hey, there's no need, no need at all."

'I've never cared about those empty formalities.'

'As long as the gift is delivered every year, I'll be content.'

Fortunately, Shiro Tsubagi did not fool Shizuka.

The other party has no spiritual power and cannot learn magic.

However, Shiro Tsubaki does possess some special techniques, such as something called 'breathing technique'.

"Gu Yun, I've already learned incredibly powerful kung fu from Master Tsubagi."

I challenge you!!!

Well, Jingke, having learned the breathing technique, feels like she's back to her old self.

then

'Snapped! '

Wow~

'Let you challenge me, I'll let you challenge me!'

'Smith Ma San~~~'

Gu Yun used his slap to give Hiratsuka Shizuka a stern warning: don't come looking for challenges to him for no reason.

Unfortunately, Jing'er, now free from her restraints, showed no signs of learning her lesson and even dared to threaten, "Remember this, I'll be back!!"

For those two years, Gu Yun spent almost all his time traveling back and forth to the countryside, exchanging magical insights with his grandfather, and playing around with Jing Ke'ai.

My grandfather passed away two years ago.

On the day of the funeral, Hiratsuka Shizuka and Tanigumo went to pay their respects together.

Although the little girl didn't learn any skills from the snail, the kind and gentle old man still left a deep impression on her.

For Jing'er, who never received love from her grandparents, the snail was like her own grandfather.

I suspect you have malicious intentions.

Gu Yun thought to himself, 'But I have no evidence.'

To avoid upsetting the girl, Gu Yun told her about the existence of Huang Quan.

There's no need to worry about encountering demons after forming a bond.

During those two years, Hiratsuka Shizuka had already encountered several supernatural events.

So, Gu Yun took her with him and personally sent his grandfather's soul onto the train to the underworld.

Although this is not goodbye forever.

But now that we are separated by life and death, we can no longer meet as easily as we do now.

That same year, 11-year-old Gu Yun became the head of the Iijima school of folk sorcerers.

There are not many disciples of the Iijima school.

Of those still alive today, only a handful, including Miyako and Tanigumo, remain.

In the past two years, while Gu Yun has not neglected his own cultivation of magic and spiritual power, he has also begun to recruit outstanding talents and expand the Iijima School.

"Boom!"

Clear water murmurs and flows through the tranquil courtyard, startling deer that fall from the overflowing water with a crisp sound.

"Swish."

Behind the suspended corridor, in the study with tatami mats, a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old holds a calligraphy brush and sketches strange symbols that are incomprehensible to ordinary people on a piece of white paper.

The young man was handsome and had a scholarly air about him.

Beneath his tousled black hair, his slightly languid eyes gazed at the artwork in his hands. Perhaps quite satisfied with it, the young man revealed a peaceful smile.

"Red leaves."

"exist."

As the boy called out, a woman dressed in a purple kimono appeared behind him in the previously empty room.

Her eyes were slightly narrowed, her head was lowered, and she knelt there, looking as serene as a beautiful painting.

"Bring me the mask I carved earlier."

"Splash~"

Gu Yun put down his brush, and at that moment, the sliding door behind him opened, and a young man dressed in short clothes with a cloth tied around his forehead walked in.

He was carrying a wooden basin filled with clean water.

"Lord Gu Yun."

"Ah."

Gu Yun washed his hands and asked, "Have they all arrived, Xiao?"

The red-haired boy in front of him was a spider demon named Akatsuki, whom Gu Yun had brought back from Tsubagi Shiro's house four years ago.

Compared to his gentle and virtuous younger sister, Suzuran, this boy is a troublemaker.

Fortunately, Gu Yun genuinely cared for the brother and sister.

After some initial unpleasantness, Xiao Chengmeng was taken care of by Gu Yun and became the butler of the Iijima residence.

"Young Master Touya has arrived."

Xiao knelt respectfully on the ground: "The others haven't arrived yet."

"In addition, Miss Jing was sitting in the lobby, shouting and yelling."

The boy asked, "Should we have Linglan throw her out?"

Akatsuki and Shiro Tsubagi had a deep-seated hatred for each other.

Back then, it was this old man who punched him away when he transformed into a giant spider monster, attacking ordinary people and plundering their awe.

Afterwards, he used various tricks to make Suzuran regard him as a father figure.

This directly led to his status as the older brother plummeting!

The thought that Shiro's disciple might become Gu Yun's partner and his mistress made Xiao feel that the future was bleak.

"Sister Fox".

Gu Yun contacted the three-tailed fox through his shikigami and instructed her: "Make Xiao Jing a cup of tea and tell her to calm down."

"I only have one last step to complete. Once this is finished, I'll go see her."

Gu Yun picked up the talisman on the table. At this moment, Hongye also brought over a wooden mask. He looked at Xiao and asked, "Can you do me a favor, Xiao?"

"It is my honor, Lord Gu Yun."

Since settling down, Xiao has become a die-hard fan of Gu Yun, obeying his every word.

Furthermore, it was not the ordinary spider monster that Gu Yun had anticipated, but a very rare earth spider.

That's right, it's that earth spider.

Even Gu Yun didn't expect that when he met the brother and sister, he would not only receive the power of Jorogumo from Suzuran.

It was also because of Xiao that he activated the first lord-type demon—the Earth Spider.

The only regret is that Jorogumo was so badly broken that it could no longer be repaired.

Left with no other choice, Gu Yun had to pass on the Jorogumo's skills to Suzuran.

This gives Lily of the Valley two forms.

A human girl with pink hair, and a spider woman form similar to Jorogumo.

In addition, there is Akatsuki, who has integrated the power of the Earth Spider into his body.

The brother and sister are now the general manager and the artistic maid at the Iijima residence. The former is in charge of handling odds and ends, while the latter is in charge of leisure matters during holidays.

It can be said that the days spent at the Iijima family home were safe, fulfilling, and warm, allowing the brother and sister to experience the warmth of home.

The brother and sister are genuinely grateful to their current owner for this kind of life.

"Xiao, how's your control over your power?"

"It's a lot of improvement compared to last time."

Xiao knelt there, respectfully and expectantly saying, "Please wait a moment and correct me."
