Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Gu Yun instructed Yao Dao Ji not to just go berserk when faced with problems, but to carefully observe the attitudes of others.

The Nura Clan's yokai have goodwill towards Tanigumo.

Therefore, they are not enemies.

Of course, as a guard, Yaodao-hime couldn't be joking around with the monsters.

Taking things seriously at all times is her duty.

Therefore, Gu Yun did not criticize her, but only told her not to be so sharp-tongued.

"It's just a misunderstanding, please don't take it to heart, Lord Gu Yun."

Otome Yamabuki gracefully came to the rescue of the Nura Clan's yokai: "Coming to the Nura Clan, and being in the heart of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, it's perfectly normal for Miss Yoto Hime to react this way."

Seeing that Yamabuki Otome spoke up for her, Yoto Hime's affection for her increased dramatically.

'That was really stupid.'

Sode no Shirayuki was speechless at the intelligence of the Demon Blade Princess.

Aside from her amazing fighting ability, this girl is utterly useless in every other way.

She's the type who gets completely taken advantage of and then helps the other person count the money.

So, after clearing up the misunderstanding, Gu Yun, along with Sode no Shirayuki and Yoto Hime, followed in the footsteps of Nura Rihan and his wife to the reception room.

Gu Yun did not allow the white wolf and the dog god to enter, and Nura Rihan also dismissed his hundred demons, leaving only his wife, the hairy prostitute, the headless demon, and a few other trusted and beloved generals.

"It is rather impolite of you to come here so suddenly, Bai Xue."

Gu Yun smiled slightly, and Xiu Baixue beside him handed over a gift box: "This is a figurine gift that the young master prepared for the Nura Clan. Please accept it, Madam Nura."

"Oh, you're too kind."

Although Yamabuki Otome had been away from home for hundreds of years, she had never forgotten these deeply ingrained customs.

"I'll go tell the kitchen to prepare some snacks, and Mao Changji to make tea."

"Yes."

The second-generation lady gracefully accepted the gift box, then bid farewell to everyone and went to arrange for the maids and servants in the house to prepare the food and banquet.

"I really don't know how to thank you enough, Teacher Gu Yun."

Mao Changji brought out the tea and placed it in front of Gu Yun: "Thanks to you, since Lady Otome returned, the second generation is like a completely different person."

When Gu Yun first met Nura Rihan, the other party appeared normal on the surface, but in reality, his heart was a dead sea, completely devoid of any emotion.

Clearly, upon learning of his wife's death, Nura Rihan's attachment to life dwindled considerably.

Perhaps in Nura Rihan's eyes, this world without Yamabuki Otome has lost its appeal.

Even if one dies in battle one day, it might be a kind of liberation.

"Thanks to Mr. Gu Yun's help, Otome and I are able to live together like this now."

Rihan Nura isn't the kind of tsundere who likes to hide his thoughts: "Sometimes, I feel like I'm dreaming."

“Just as Mao Changji said,” Nura Rihan clenched his hands resting on his knees, his eyes filled with sincerity: “I really don’t know how to thank you.”

"Well, we're all friends, no need to say such things."

Gu Yun quickly interrupted the super handsome man's emotional remarks. He held up the box containing Miyagi Maru with both hands and handed it to Nurarihyon Rihan: "In addition, I have fulfilled my mission. Miyagi Maru has been repaired and is now returned to its rightful owner."

"So, the reason you've come this time is..."

Nura Rihan was wondering why Tanigumo had come to visit today.

Only then did I realize that it was for Mimi-kiri-maru.

In fact, the second generation had almost forgotten about Mimi Kirimaru.

Um, it might not be the best way to put it.

But Yamabuki Otome is so alluring that Nura Rihan lingers there, completely captivated, and even though Miyagi-maru cannot be repaired, he won't blame Tanigumo.

Moreover, with his wife's return, Nura Rihan's demonic power, which had already reached a bottleneck, began to increase.

"A sudden enlightenment, a moment of clarity"—this perfectly describes Nura Rihan's recent state.

If nothing unexpected happens, it may only take a few years for him to break through his current level as a special-grade demon and truly enter the realm of a great demon.

From then on, even under normal circumstances, Nura Rihan was able to possess the strength of a great yokai.

Doing whatever one pleases causes heaven and earth to weep, and there is no longer a need for a hundred ghosts to gather.

Whether it was his deceased wife or this power, Nura Rihan truly received immense kindness from Tanigumo.

"You've really gone to a lot of trouble."

Nura Rihan took Miyagi Maru out of the box.

As a master swordsman, Rihan Nura recognized the extraordinary nature of the reforged Miyagi-maru almost immediately.

If the previous Mimi Kirimaru only possessed a little bit of spirituality.

The new sword before us has become sentient, which means that Mimi Kirimaru has become a true demon sword, or even a demon.

"After four hundred years, Mimi Kirimaru himself had already developed his own consciousness."

“I helped it and enlightened it.”

Creating monsters is as simple as eating and drinking for Gu Yun now.

However, Mimi Kirimaru was not simply a creation, but rather an awakening of its intelligence.

"Owner…"

Holding Mimi-kirimaru in his hand, Rihan Nura felt the sword spirit calling to him.

"Ah, I'm sorry you got hurt, buddy."

Having fought side by side for four hundred years, Nura Rihan immediately recognized the source of this consciousness—it was his Mimikirimaru, his closest comrade-in-arms.

This scumbag!

Gu Yun was able to read minds and knew that Nura Rihan was on his honeymoon with his wife and had long forgotten about Miyamoto.

But now, with this attitude of deep affection and joy at having found a lost partner, Gu Yun almost believed it to be true.

'As expected, the Nurarihyon clan are all women at heart; their swordplay is naturally divine.'

Gu Yun couldn't very well expose Nura Rihan's true colors, so he could only say that Miyagi Kirimaru's status would probably never surpass that of Yamabuki Otome.

"Having such power, I owe you again, Mr. Gu Yun."

Rihan Nura said, "Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to use the power of Miyagi-maru much anymore."

The second generation had a premonition that, having broken the curse, he would soon have a child with Otome Yamabuki.

In this way, Mimi-kirimaru will also be passed down as the sword of the third generation.

That's right, the most tragic demon sword in four hundred years, without exception!

No matter how hard he tries or how many enemies he kills, nothing can compare to the status his wife holds in the heart of the cunning man.

Chapter 117 The New Ten Famous Families

"Want to try the knife?"

"May I?"

Rihan Nura, the second-generation swordsman, naturally wanted to experience the power of his new sword as soon as possible, as he was a member of the chivalrous clan.

While tradition is important, Nura Rihan would feel restless if he didn't try out a good sword once he got his hands on it.

"With guests right in front of you, you run off to test your knife. There's a limit to rudeness, you idiot."

Just then, a short figure walked in from outside the door.

This was an old man with an extremely long head. He was wearing a tan kimono, his hands tucked into his sleeves, and he strolled toward the two of them: "Ever since Otome returned, you've become like this."

"Silly and foolish."

While scolding his son for his inappropriate behavior, Nurarihyon went straight to Gu Yun, sat down cross-legged, and bowed deeply: "However, I still want to express my gratitude to Mr. Gu Yun."

"Thank you, sir, for saving my foolish son."

Rihan Nura realized that his suggestion to test the sword was somewhat impolite and immediately apologized to Tanigumo.

"Ah, it's okay."

Gu Yun told the two of them not to be so polite; when he interacted with friends, he never considered each other's status or strength.

I remember when Grandpa took Gu Yun to visit Granny Fox, he made a metaphor.

You are a billionaire, and now you are visiting an ordinary person's home.

Since the other party is your friend, don't use arrogance to humiliate or coerce them by using the difference in wealth.

Forget your own status and position, and interact with others as an ordinary person.

Otherwise, if the other party keeps considering your status and position, then what they are befriending will never be you as a person, but rather your power and wealth.

Only when the other person forgets these things, or even doesn't care about them, is he truly making friends with 'you'.

Such people will not leave you just because you are in a bad situation or in distress.

On the contrary, they will help and encourage you, enabling you to get back on your feet and achieve new success.

The most tragic thing for a person to live in this world is to be alone.

Gu Yun has shikigami, as well as Tamaki, Nao-nee, and Shizuka, so he is not alone.

But who would complain about having more kindred spirits?

"Are you Mr. Nurarihyon?"

Gu Yun: "Nice to meet you. I am Gu Yun from Shimoijima."

"Oh, the snail's grandson."

Nurarihyon squinted his eyes, like a kind old man: "I remember the last time I met the snail, he was showing off his grandson in front of us."

"Haha, that's just like Grandpa's style."
