Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

He became the messenger of Inari God only because the shrine he served was destroyed by a natural disaster.

She is over 500 years old this year and has lived under the shadow of the Hagoromo Gitsune since she was a child, so how could she not know about the deeds of that fox demon?

"Yes, it's Hagoromo Gitsune."

Seeing that she knew about Yu Yi Hu, Gu Yun nodded and said, "She previously sent someone to contact another of my subordinates, wanting to meet with me. I made some requests, including the need for a venue for the meeting."

"Uh, this..."

Shopkeeper Chun's expression changed repeatedly as she carefully considered her words, unsure of how to begin.

"Is there a problem, Tsubaki?"

“It’s okay, you can speak up if you have any ideas,” Gu Yun said with a smile. “I’m not someone who can’t accept advice, so feel free to speak up.”

"Yes, Master."

Shopkeeper Chun said, "I think you shouldn't meet with that kind of guy."

“What merit or ability do I, a mere demon from the lower realm, have to sit at the same table as you?”

Chun meant no harm; she simply felt that the demons of Kyoto were too filthy, and that letting such creatures set foot on Gu Yun's territory would only tarnish his honor.

If it were just for himself, for the sake of Gu Yun, Shopkeeper Chun would even go alone to Kyoto to convey the will of the gods.

She wasn't afraid of getting dirty herself, but she cared a lot about Gu Yun's cleanliness.

"That's right..."

Gu Yun nodded; he understood Manager Chun's thoughts.

Actually, it wasn't just her; the other shikigami thought the same thing, even if they didn't say it.

"I am so sorry for saying something rude. Please punish me."

Manager Chun felt that he had said something superfluous and presumptuous, so he quickly pressed his forehead to the tatami and awaited Gu Yun's judgment.

"This is really a headache..."

Gu Yun scratched his head, stepped forward, and personally helped the red-haired woman up: "Didn't I tell you, it's alright?"

"Tsubaki was just protecting me."

Gu Yun said, "So don't worry, I won't blame you."

"Thank you, God."

"Just call me Gu Yun, or Young Master."

Gu Yun grabbed Chun's hand and made her sit on his other side: "I already know about your resistance to demons. Well, I can understand. After all, no one wants a bunch of murderers and thugs to come to their door."

They didn't want to make contact, and naturally they didn't want Gu Yun to either.

In response, Gu Yun felt that his earlier impulsive decision to invite the demons of Kyoto to his door was somewhat ill-considered.

Gu Yun cannot let his own selfish desires cause everyone to worry and fear for him.

"Is Hagoromo Gitsune a very powerful character?"

"It sounds like a very beautiful fox."

"No, that's not true. She's a man-eating monster. I heard a lot about her infamous reputation when I was in the human world."

Lotus and Jujube are both spirit foxes from the lower realm. They lived in Japan during the Taisho era, about 100 to 200 years ago.

As Hagoromo Gitsune was resurrected time and time again, she was eventually defeated by Nura Rihan.

So, considering all this, it's clear that the fact that they lived such a miserable life in the human world was partly due to Hagoromo Gitsune.

"My lady, what is Hagoromo Gitsune?"

Xiaoyou turned around and asked the nun sitting on the other side.

“Hagoromo Gitsune is a great demon dwelling in the human world,” the nun explained to Yuzu, “a bad guy with many dangerous elements.”

At this point, the nun bowed to Gu Yun and said, "Forgive my bluntness, but Gu Yun is of such high status that he should not come into contact with such filthy beings."

"I know I know."

Gu Yun understood that everyone's advice was well-intentioned and for his own good.

However, Gu Yun has to personally interact with various monsters to obtain pheromones from the scroll, which makes it impossible for him to send shikigami instead, so he has no choice but to do it.

However, since everyone is so resistant to contact with demons, Gu Yun naturally cannot insist on going his own way.

He needs to illuminate the scroll, but he also cares more about the people who are by his side.

Forcing the old staff to work for the sake of the new ones.

Gu Yun has no intention of engaging in such fickle and unfaithful behavior.

"Is that right?"

However, Manager Chun sensed the inner turmoil in Gu Yun's heart. She made up her mind and knelt down, saying, "Since we are your subordinates, we should share your burdens."

"Please rest assured, Cihua Pavilion will prepare a banquet for them and will not let you lose face."

"Yes, if Lord Gu Yun needs it, it wouldn't hurt to let them see it."

"And Lord Gu Yun will protect us, right?"

None of the fox spirits wanted to hurt Gu Yun's feelings. If someone had to make concessions, they preferred to do it themselves rather than Gu Yun.

After all, the purpose of a shikigami is to make its master happy.

Instead of the other way around, expecting Gu Yun to consider things for them.

"this…"

Gu Yun thought for a moment and realized that it didn't necessarily have to be this flower pavilion: "Actually, I could also visit in person."

"no!!"

These words immediately provoked all the shikigami, including the fox girl, and even Miketsu, who all stopped them, saying, "Your status is so noble, how can you set foot in such a filthy place!"

If Gu Yun is allowed to enter the Demon Cave, then what is the point of their existence as shikigami?

The other shore flower felt that it would be better to take matters into her own hands and bring the Feathered Fox to Gu Yun.

However, Gu Yun immediately rejected this idea.

To reiterate, there is no enmity between the two sides, and Gu Yun would not declare war on others for no reason.

'Ya-le ya-le…'

Miketsu sensed Gu Yun's inner turmoil and saw his true thoughts deep inside.

"We are the true hosts."

"Since filth has come to our door, let's keep it out."

“If we were to cower and shrink back, it would truly damage the majesty of us divine lords.”

Then, Miketsu said, "Tsubaki, you are in charge of the banquet arrangements. Yomi and Eise, you two take care of the safety and protective measures."

"Lord Gu Yun is not someone anyone can just see whenever they want."

Miketsu said, "Even if demons from Kyoto dare to come to our door, as long as we screen them layer by layer, how could we possibly tarnish Lord Gu Yun's noble status in the end?"

"Yes."

"Indeed it is."

"Wouldn't it be fine if we just kept the bad guys out?"

As the highest-ranking deity, Miketsuhime carries considerable weight.

Although Gu Yun held a high enough position, he was not in a position to say these things in many situations.

'Lord Gu Yun is a gentle patriarch.'

'It's good to pamper us, but too much pampering will undermine your authority.'

'So, there are some things I'd like to say,' Miketsu conveyed her voice to Tanigumo, 'Let me say them for you.'

"You're really reliable, Miketsu."

Gu Yun felt she should call Yu Zhuan Jin "Donkey Riding Granny" less often from now on: Hmm, it's decided, Rice Planting Granny!

Miketsu: It's hard! My fist is hard!

"Hi!"

As expected, Miketsuhime conveyed Gu Yun's will with a resounding voice.

The fox girls and shikigami skipped the "to do it or not" question and quickly moved on to the next stage: "what to do?"

"Well, thank you for your help."

"in addition."

Gu Yun clapped his hands: "Come out, Sister Hua, Xiao Hui."

As soon as he finished speaking, the spider lily and the flower and bird scroll that had been hiding beside Gu Yun appeared at the same time.

It was at this moment that Chun sensed an extremely dangerous aura.

"That is…"

Her pupils contracted slightly as she saw a stunningly beautiful woman in a long, flowing dress and adorned with spider lilies in her hair appear to Gu Yun's left.

"spirits!!"

Almost immediately, Chun figured out Hua Jie's background.

The other party is a ghost or deity, and the most powerful ghost or deity at that.

Those powerful figures who, even in the underworld, still wield immense influence and dare to challenge the lord of the underworld.

"But, why?"

"Why is there not a trace of curse on this deity?"

Because of Yu Yao's second substitute plan, Gu Yun dumped all the negative energy from the other shore flower onto this non-existent anonymous account.

This meant that even when Gu Yun and Bi An Hua were standing right in front of each other, they could not feel any negative emotions.

"Ok?"
