Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

In this way, once Miketsu awakens, as long as she manages Misaki Inari and is assisted by the two Inari gods, the faith can be quickly put back into operation.

"What's wrong, God?"

Then, led by the seven Inari priests, all the divine messengers awaited Gu Yun's instructions.

"not enough."

Gu Yun shook his head. The information in the scroll was stuck at 60%, still a little short.

"Do we need more spirit foxes?"

Upon hearing this news, a fox-girl named Gao, with light purple hair, knelt before Gu Yun: "My Lord, there is a shrine in the town, and many spirit foxes."

Gao's older sister, Shu, works as a shrine maiden at the town's shrine.

"There's a shrine in town?"

Gu Yun asked, "What deity is being worshipped? Is it Miketsu?"

"He is a local deity responsible for protecting this place."

"..."

Gu Yun realized his own ignorance: 'Isn't this the divine realm of Inari, the God of Inari? How come there's a local earth god here?'

This land god is really something else, he can even come up to the fourth dimension.

I must say, he truly deserves to be called the most capable god.

Japanese land deities are not the traditional earth gods; they can be human or wild beasts, and their duty is to protect the area and regulate the local spiritual energy and magnetic field.

Similarly, she is the Japanese deity who appears most frequently in anime and manga.

"Ahem, Master, please allow me to explain to you."

Yu Yao saw through Gu Yun's thoughts and knew that he was unaware of this, so he quickly explained to him: "Inari-sama's sacred land is very vast, and the town where Kokoro-tei is located is only a very small part of it."

“This sacred land is filled with spiritual energy, and spiritual energy is like water; it needs to flow to come alive.”

Therefore, the Earth God is like a series of connecting points, like tributaries of a river, linking the spiritual energy of the entire sacred land, thus completing the cycle and supply.

"I see."

Gu Yun wasn't the only one who didn't understand Yu Yao's explanation; in fact, many fox spirits were also unclear about it.

Manager Chun knew about it, but she didn't pay attention to it.

The only question is why Gu Yun, a deity, would not know such basic knowledge.

Of course, it's too late to feel strange now.

Having signed the contract and been included in the scroll, the proprietress became Gu Yun's fox, and dared not say anything against her master.

"The spirit fox in the town..."

When Gu Yun arrived at the fourth level, he sensed the will of purification and greeted it first to show that he had no ill intentions.

But now, he has set his sights on the spirit fox under the command of the Earth God.

What should Gu Yun do if the other party refuses to give it to him?

Robbery?

What's the reason? I've taken a liking to your fox, and you won't give it to me, so I'm going to hit you?

That's like being a robber.

Gu Yun wouldn't do something like bullying the weak without a reason.

"It's alright, Lord Gu Yun."

Shopkeeper Chun noticed Gu Yun's doubts and said, "This mere local deity is at most a guest of Inari who is staying here."

"Even so, wouldn't it be inappropriate to force them to come?"

Gu Yun thought for a moment and said, "How about we ask them what conditions they would give me the spirit fox?"

"That's not how it is, Master."

Upon hearing this, Kong Huan said directly, "In the world of gods, hierarchy is paramount."

This can be understood as the ancient aristocratic system, the world of gods, especially the gods of Japan, which are truly traditional to the extreme.

Not to mention Gu Yun, even if Yu Yao and Kong Huan went, the Earth God wouldn't dare say a word.

"This is the sacred land of Miketsu. As the Inari God, we can say that we are half the masters."

Even Manager Chun sided with Gu Yun this time: "If it dares not agree, just throw it out."

That's right, throw it out.

Konghuan, Shopkeeper Chun: You don't want to be homeless, do you, Lord Land God...

"..."

Gu Yun sighed and then looked at Yu Yao.

"Prepare a gift first, Master."

"Oh, that's good."

Gu Yun remarked, "As expected, we have to look to Yu Yao; he's so good at dealing with people."

"It accepted the gift, and we took the fox away."

"If you refuse..."

Yu Yao: "Then beat them up, leave the gifts behind, and take the fox away."

"..."

Gu Yun: Is the world of gods this barbaric? Huh?!

The Japanese land gods are so lacking in prestige.

This is workplace bullying!

"Fine, you guys figure it out."

Gu Yun was truly unfamiliar with the interpersonal interactions of deities.

These kinds of things are best left to the professionals.

"I'll take care of it."

Shopkeeper Chun knew that Gu Yun needed a sufficient number of spirit foxes to awaken Yuzhanjin.

Moreover, upon returning to Misaki Inari, her status was no less than that of the local land god of Shinto.

Even if the other party refused, with a great deity like Gu Yun standing behind him, Manager Chun was not intimidated at all: "I am an old acquaintance of the other party. I have received so many years of Inari-sama's favors, it is time to collect some rent."

"excuse me."

At this moment, Gao stepped forward: "My elder sister is a shrine maiden of the shrine. Please allow me to summon them for the sake of the gods."

"Even if it is the Earth God, if the spirit foxes themselves decide to find another way out, I suppose it can't say anything, can it?"

Gao's older sister is named Hiiragi, and she is an extremely beautiful white fox.

The sisters were originally apprentice priestesses who were diligently training and practicing to become servants of the gods.

However, since Gao's older sister was more skilled in Kagura dance, her younger sister Gao took her place and went to work at Konohana-tei.

Gao was once plunged into self-doubt because of this.

However, the truth is that Hiiragi is an idiot. Even at this age, he still can't memorize multiplication and division.

Imagine if someone like Hiiragi were to work at Kokatei; they would definitely cause trouble for others.

That's right, Hiiragi became a shrine maiden not because she was better than Sakae.

But her sister was good for nothing except dancing.

She would starve if she didn't become a shrine maiden, so she was forced to start working.

"Well, yes."

Gu Yun realized that Gao's plan was excellent: "Through persuasion, we will get the spirit foxes to come to me voluntarily."

"In that case, what if the Earth God still tries to stop us?"

Gu Yun said, "That's your problem!"

"Thank you for your trust."

Gao and her sister had no conflict; at most, Gao felt envious and doubted her own abilities.

But these are just minor issues between sisters.

Now that Gu Yun has come to this flower pavilion, he wants to recruit some spirit foxes as messengers. Even a little fox girl like her is lucky enough to become the Imperial Inari.

It should be noted that a spirit fox without more than five hundred years of cultivation is not even qualified to be an Inari deity's messenger.

Spirit Fox, Benevolent Fox, Helper Benevolent Fox, Inari God Messenger, Imperial Inari, Heavenly Fox, Inari God, Inari Great God Miketsu.

It is possible to leap from a small spirit fox to become a Misaki Inari, achieving a four-stage advancement.

If this were in ancient times, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a meteoric rise to power.

Such good fortune, Gao would naturally not forget her sisters.

"Thank you for your gift."

With Gu Yun's permission, Gao was overjoyed and couldn't wait to tell the shrine maidens the good news.

"Is there really a great deity descending?"

"Can we also become messengers of the gods?"

"Wow, Gao, your Heavenly Feather Robe is so beautiful! Is this the Misaki Inari? Kaku!"

Soon, the shrine maidens, led by Hiiragi and accompanied by Gao and the proprietress, arrived in front of Gu Yun.

"Fool!"

Seeing that her older sister was still acting so nonchalantly in front of Gu Yun, Gao quickly pulled her down to kneel: "Be quiet!"

"Oh, this is your sister?"
