Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Akio Ogino did not take the wrong road, nor did they inexplicably encounter a ghost.

Chihiro was unaware of all this; what she wanted most right now was to reach her brother's grave and sincerely apologize to him.

She said her life was bought with her brother's life, and because of her, her brother, who had a bright future ahead of him, had to leave this world.

"Does that child already know?"

"There's really no other way; I can't keep it from her forever."

The two elderly people stood in front of the house, accepted and put away the gifts from their children, and made lunch for Chihiro and the others.

After dinner, Chihiro, accompanied by her parents, saw her brother Chihiro's grave.

"Sorry…"

Chihiro had remembered everything by now.

It's about my older brother, and memories of playing with teenagers when I was little.

"Onii-chan, I'm sorry."

The girl stood in front of the grave for a long time without speaking, but all her words were poured out in her heart to the photo on her brother's grave.

When Chihiro was little, she nearly drowned. Although she was saved, she developed a severe high fever.

After her body recovered, perhaps due to the body's self-protection mechanism, Chihiro forgot this despairing memory and also forgot her beloved brother.

At this moment, memories flooded back like a tide, until the girl was in tears.

"Alright, Chihiro."

The mother held the girl in her arms and comforted her, "Do you remember? Qian was most afraid of seeing you cry."

"Ah."

Chihiro remembered everything. She wiped away her tears and smiled.

No matter what happens, I must always smile in front of my older brother.

My life was given to me by my brother, so I should live it well and be happy no matter what, so as not to let his choice go to waste.

"Let's go back."

After the shrine visit, the knots in the hearts of Ogino and her daughter were untied.

Just like the snail said, Chihiro is much stronger than her parents imagined.

Unlike the timid and helpless 10-year-old girl in the original story, Chihiro, now 13, has graduated from one of the best elementary schools in Japan.

Her friends, playmates, and classmates are all geniuses in their own way.

Chihiro, who grew up in this environment, has a much broader perspective and greater abilities than the girl in "Spirited Away" who transferred to the countryside.

"Why don't you stay here for the night?"

After returning to their old house in the countryside, Chihiro's grandparents hoped they could stay a little longer.

The problem is, Akio Ogino is really busy.

Today wasn't supposed to be a day off, but he specially requested two days' pay for his daughter.

According to the plan, today he will take Chihiro to pay respects to her eldest son, and tomorrow he will take his daughter to Amagi Brilliant Park to help her forget this painful memory.

With his career going smoothly and the death of his eldest son, Akio Ogino now places great emphasis on his daughter's education and upbringing.

He is very satisfied with his current life.

At work, Akio Ogino clung tightly to the Iijima Group. Although he couldn't get any real benefits, he was content with just the soup.

In terms of family life, his daughter is well-behaved and obedient, and his wife is also very virtuous.

In terms of life, Akio Ogino may have lost some things, but he also gained enough happiness to heal his pain.

"No, I'll come again next time."

Yuko offered a few words of explanation for her husband before leaving Perchuan Township by car, under the watchful eyes of her parents.

"grandparents."

Chihiro leaned out the window and waved goodbye: "See you next time~~"

"Bon Voyage."

Seeing that Chihiro and the others had recovered, the two elderly people breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go."

They exchanged a helpless glance and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "That's true, there aren't any young people who want to stay in this place anymore."

I don't know what happened, but I remember that after the Amber River was filled in, the village started to decline.

Now, the entire village has completely lost its vitality.

The young people have all left, leaving behind only some elderly people who are reluctant to leave their hometown.

Japan also values ​​feng shui, and the elderly are even more superstitious. They have always believed that the problems in Pergawa Township are caused by that river.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything about this now.

How could the government's development be stopped by one or two unruly villagers?

Chapter 128 His bento box didn't even have two layers.

After saying goodbye to her grandparents, Chihiro and her parents left the small town in the countryside.

Yuko Ogino and Chihiro were chatting about the girl's plans for junior high school.

As a child from a wealthy family and a graduate of Sakura Mantei, Chihiro began planning her life early on.

Yuko is very supportive of her daughter's dream of becoming a teacher.

Since the family is wealthy, no matter what Chihiro does, the Ogino family can always be her fallback plan.

As for Yuko and Akio Ogino, they would be content as long as Chihiro is happy.

"I'll just feel a little lonely not being able to see my elementary school classmates anymore."

Fortunately, Chihiro wasn't alone in going to the girls' school; several others in her class made the same choice.

Kongo Yo, Yamanaka Sawako, and Hazuki Shizuku, like Chihiro, chose the same junior high school.

"It would be great if we could be in the same class."

Bullying incidents are not uncommon in Japan. Although Chihiro's junior high school had a good atmosphere, no one can guarantee that such things don't happen.

Therefore, having your own small group can indeed make people feel much more at ease.

Of course, Qian also longs to make new friends.

"And Gu Yunjun..."

"Is this the class monitor you always talk about?"

Upon hearing Gu Yun's name, Youzi joked, "Let me think how you described him, Kaku-i?"

"Mother!!"

Chihiro shouted in embarrassment and annoyance.

Gu Yun has always taken good care of Qian Xun, but the girl didn't know that feeling before.

Only now do I realize that I see my brother's shadow in Gu Yun.

As for liking something, that's utter nonsense.

Gu Yun is a prominent figure in the class, standing at the very top, far beyond Qianxun's reach.

The girl seemed more like a fan.

Gu Yun is Chihiro's idol, sacred and inviolable.

"You mustn't speak ill of Gu Yunjun!"

Chihiro puffed out her cheeks: "Not even Mom!"

"Kaku-i is actually being spoken ill of?"

"Even joking is not allowed!"

"Hi hi hi."

Having resolved her inner conflict, Yuko jokingly teased her daughter with great interest: "That hero belongs only to Chihiro, not even Mommy can be one."

"Mo~~~"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Seeing his daughter's discomfiture, Akio Ogino burst into laughter, as if releasing all his pent-up frustration: "Gu Yun, that name sounds familiar. Whose child is he?"

Chihiro and Gu Yun have known each other for a long time.

In Japan, strangers usually address each other by their surnames.

However, when the two first met, Gu Yun asked Chihiro to call him by his name, so the Ogino family did not know Gu Yun's full name as Chihiro spoke of him.

"Yes, it does sound familiar."

Yuko also realized that the wealthy women she was with seemed to have mentioned this name before: "Is he a child from some big family?"

The Ogino family has now entered high society, and their horizons have broadened considerably.

But they are still not qualified to covet the core of the upper echelons; they are far too far off.

Today, the Iijima family is among the most powerful families in Japan, and together with other families, they are moving towards becoming one of Japan's newest zaibatsu (financial conglomerates).

And this only includes assets and influence within Japan itself.

If we include those overseas, the Iijima family's strength is far more than that.

Didn't I say that?

Chihiro recalled Gu Yun's behavior at school, and it was certain that he was from a wealthy family.

His manners and etiquette were just like those of a prince.

But let's say Gu Yun is some important figure...
