Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

However, before the proprietress could even feel shocked, the aura emanating from the Eisho Hanacho Scroll once again plunged her into shock.

"Such powerful illusory world power," Shopkeeper Chun looked at Flower and Bird Scroll in disbelief, "Is he yet another purifying deity?"

Although Gu Yun's high status had long been established, having Mikoto, Hana-no-Maki, and Higanbana serve him one after another was really beyond Manager Chun's comprehension.

"You don't need to worry about safety at the banquet."

Gu Yun's reception of the Thousand Ghosts Parade was itself an experiment.

He clearly cares more about his own children.

“I assure you here that if any conflict occurs at the banquet,” Gu Yun said, “there is no need to worry or be afraid!”

"Because of them, not one of them can escape!"

This is Gu Yun's attitude.

He wouldn't lower his own people to a subservient position for some unfamiliar demons; that would be putting the cart before the horse.

"Yes, Lord Gu Yun!"

The group of Yu Xian Inari felt Gu Yun's sincerity.

Yes, with such a powerful god present, how dare mere demons from the lower realm act so recklessly here?

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Hagoromo Gitsune is willing to accept the 'Feast at Hongmen'.

If the other party has no intention of coming, then Gu Yun will not force them.

In fact, whether or not he comes, it doesn't prevent Gu Yun from accepting the flower pavilion.

"You can arrange the specifics yourselves."

Having resolved this matter and revived Miketsu, Gu Yun was in high spirits: "From now on, everyone, please don't be shy. Let's drink to celebrate Miketsu's return!"

"Oh oh oh!!"

Holding a banquet is obviously the happiest thing. All the Inari girls were originally maids of Konohanatei. Now that their status has been raised, they will no longer serve outsiders.

Their current and future work includes serving wine and food to Gu Yun, and performing dances and playing music for their deities.

"I remember there's a rule in Japan that you have to be at least 20 years old to drink alcohol?"

This is the first time Gu Yun has ever drunk alcohol since he traveled to the present day.

He glanced at his mother beside him and found that she was engrossed in a drinking contest with Yu Yao and Kong Huan, completely ignoring what was happening here.

"Lord Gu Yun~"

Xiaoyou, holding the wine pot, looked timidly at the silent Gu Yun: "Was it something I did wrong?"

She had never done anything like this before, and she still had a long way to go before becoming an excellent maidservant at Konohana-tei.

However, since Gu Yun personally named her, how could Xiao You refuse?

"Oh, no."

Gu Yun downed the wine in his cup in one gulp, then handed it to Xiao You: "Fill it up! Xiao You's wine is delicious +1!"

What a load of bullshit Japanese law.

Even the prime minister is just a spokesperson cultivated by the Iijima family.

Whether in the human world or the world of gods and demons, Gu Yun has no need to care about the opinions of others.

"Uh-huh!!"

Xiaoyou happily poured wine for Gu Yun, and the adorable little fox girl squinted her eyes, completely immersed in the happiness of serving Gu Yun.

"Ah, I'm so envious~~"

Gao, Lian, and Zao accompany Yuzanjin, Higanbana, and Hanacho-maki, respectively.

Among them, Miketsu and Hanabusa were gentle and quickly became friends with Gao and Natsume. They chatted and laughed, sharing all sorts of interesting stories with each other, feeling relaxed and carefree.

The only thing that makes Lian feel immense pressure is facing the red spider lily.

"Um, Lady Higanbana..."

"Ah."

The red spider lily actually has a good temper; she's just not good at interpersonal communication.

After drinking three or four cups in a row, Lian transformed from a pink-haired raccoon who wanted to build a good relationship with the gods into a ruthless wine-pouring machine.

'Um...?'

Did I choose the wrong god?

'Lord of the Red Spider Lily, please at least say something!'

The pink-haired fox spirit, Lian, forced a smile.

Serving the gods was her dream, and she was also the beautiful spider lily.

But even though it should have been double the happiness, why couldn't she feel happy at all?

"I'm not drunk~"

After the joyous and boisterous banquet ended, Gu Yun helped his mother to the most luxurious guest room prepared by the spirit maidens.

"I can still drink!"

It was the first time Iijima Tamaki had ever drunk a beverage that only gods could enjoy. Fortunately, she was also a person with spiritual power, so even though she drank heartily, she only got to the point of blacking out.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be drunk for seven days and seven nights on the spot.

"Yes, yes, you have a huge capacity for alcohol; you can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."

On the contrary, Gu Yun, whose alcohol tolerance was already quite good, was further enhanced by the physical strengthening brought about by the Battle God Technique.

For him, getting drunk is simply impossible unless he opens his heart completely.

"Hand over the lady to us, Lord Gu Yun."

After the banquet, the raccoons learned a lot about Gu Yun, including the fact that he was not a god, but just a mortal.

The fox spirits at Konohana-tei had absolutely no opinion on this.

Even the esteemed Lady Miketsuhime, and the other two ecological gods, had to serve Gu Yun.

At this point, there's no longer any difference between being human and being a god.

"Thank you."

Gu Yun said, "Mother drank quite a bit tonight. If she has a hangover, please take care of her."

"Lord Gu Yun, have you forgotten where you are?"

Tong said, "We're used to this kind of thing."

"That's right."

Gu Yun forgot that they were very professional hotel maids, and he didn't need to worry at all about entrusting his mother to them.

"Xiaobai, come with me to see Miketsu."

"She might be able to solve your problem."

Gu Yun walked along the corridor. Because they were inside the great barrier of Miketsu, the white wolf and the dog god were not there.

"Can I become as good as them?"

Bai Zangzhu jumped out from Gu Yun's shadow. When it comes to close protection, you have to look to Gu Yun's Xiao Bai, who is always by your side.

"Even the strongest shrine maiden cannot compare to Miketsu."

Gods are the most skilled beings at exorcising evil spirits and curses, and the power of the priestess comes from them.

Therefore, instead of seeking out some great priestess, it would be better to let Miketsu do it.

This was the advice given to Gu Yun by the pretty nun Yaobikuni when he consulted her earlier: 'I should be able to do it, but Lady Miketsuhime might be more suitable for this task than I am.'

It's better to rely on yourself than on others. Since you have your own secret recipe, why bother others?

Moreover, even the nun wasn't 100% certain.

"come yet?"

"The little raccoons are so clingy, it was a real struggle to find a chance to escape."

Miketsu's experience is a bittersweet one. For a god who loves foxes, being surrounded by fox girls is like a dream.

However, Gu Yun needed her, so she had to wake up from her dream.

Gu Yun: This guy is showing off in front of me again.

Miketsu: Hehe~

Miketsu, the world's largest fox trader, says her life is just that simple and unpretentious.

"Oh, Hakuzosu has become so small? How cute."

Miketsu patted Shiro's head, and Shiro stuck out his tongue, enjoying the affection of the Inari God.

"Do you see anything?"

Gu Yun knew that Yu Zhuan Jin wasn't just petting the fox; she was actually using it to investigate Xiao Bai's situation.

"Ah."

Miketsu nodded and said, "It seems that the curse on this child appeared because he went in the wrong direction."

"Did you go the wrong way?"

This was the first time Gu Yun had heard such a statement: "How so?"

"You summoned this child before you had gathered any information about it, didn't you?"

"..."

Miketsu was right. Shiro was Gu Yun's first shikigami, and even he himself didn't know how it came to be.

After hearing Gu Yun's explanation, Yu Zhuan Jin said, "It must be that your power awakened and you realized that you were in an unstable state, so you forcibly woke up Xiao Bai."

Miketsu knew of the existence of the Hundred Demons Scroll, but in her mind, it was a manifestation of Gu Yun's powerful spiritual personality.

The strength lies with Gu Yun himself, not with the scroll.
