Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

The gods here are all sorts of strange and wonderful things, and it's not surprising that they can take on any form. Although Chihiro has only been here for a few days, she's already used to it.

"..."

No-Face couldn't speak, he could only nod slightly at Chihiro and then make a soft "ooh" sound.

"that…"

Chihiro stepped aside and opened the door a little: "You'll catch a cold standing in the rain, come in quickly."

invite!

This is the biggest weakness of Yubaba's magical barrier.

Just like humans and demons in the real world, demons can enter someone else's territory when the homeowner extends an invitation.

“wo~~”

No-Face made a call that was difficult to understand. It remained silent, yet it sensed Chihiro's concern.

This was a feeling that No-Face had never experienced before.

It was unfamiliar, yet it inexplicably longed for it, like a moth drawn to a flame, knowing full well that the fire was scorching and deadly, yet still wanting to get closer.

Chapter 154 The God of Rot

“wo~~”

No-Face entered the bathhouse at Chihiro's invitation. He looked around, then bowed slightly to Chihiro, as if to thank her.

Why are the guests standing in the rain?

Chihiro was very respectful; she was at the very bottom of the bathhouse hierarchy, and no customer could afford to offend her.

However, the faceless man did not answer her, or rather, he was unable to answer.

The faceless man, who had never devoured anything, was extremely simple-minded. He simply felt that Chihiro was very gentle and wanted to get close to her: "Wo~~"

"Ok?"

At the same time, Yubaba, who was tallying up the revenue, suddenly realized something.

"What kind of filth came in with the heavy rain?"

Yubaba's magical skills are not as good as her older sister Zeniba's, but she is still far superior to ordinary demons.

As the local official who guards the afterlife, Yubaba has absolute control over the bathhouse, and very few things can defy her will here.

"What is it?"

She opened the window and looked at the brightly lit street, only to see the lights quickly go out.

Suddenly, Yubaba's expression changed slightly: "This feeling... is it that guy again?"

She quickly put away all her treasures and then made a quick call to the receptionist, asking him to arrange staff to serve the upcoming guest.

"Thousand~~"

Just then, Xiaoling ran over, and the faceless man vanished in an instant.

"Sister Xiaoling?"

Chihiro looked at Lin in confusion. She had wanted to tell Lin about No-Face, but when she turned around, she found that No-Face had already disappeared.

"What happened?"

"That customer is here again!"

"what?"

Chihiro was puzzled, and Lin quickly said, "The God of Rot!"

Whether the god of decay exists in Japan is unknown.

But in this world, the God of Rot represents the aggregate of rotten things; he is a filthy and foul-smelling deity.

However, the bathhouse is dedicated to the Japanese gods, and theoretically any deity can come here to cleanse their body. According to the contract, Yubaba cannot refuse them.

Unlike in the original story, this Rot God has visited the bathhouse multiple times.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard the bathhouse staff tried to clean it, they couldn't remove the filth from the Rotten God's body.

And every time the God of Decay arrives, he leaves the bathhouse in a complete mess.

Unfortunately, Yubaba and her staff were helpless against her.

Refusing to receive guests is disrespectful.

Japan has an exaggerated spirit of craftsmanship in the service industry, where the saying "the customer is king" is perfectly embodied.

Bathhouses undoubtedly possess a rich Japanese cultural atmosphere, and they would never do anything like letting guests enter and then rejecting or refusing to serve them.

"What is the God of Rot?"

"They are rotten gods."

Xiaoling didn't really know either; she only knew that the Rotten God was smelly, dirty, and disgusting, like a clump of moving sludge.

"This isn't the first time."

Xiaoling doesn't get along well with the staff at the bathhouse because she's too aggressive.

The bathhouse is like Japan in the last century. In that kind of environment, independent and strong women like Xiaoling were actually quite unpopular.

Compared to the female employees who embody the image of a dignified and independent woman, the carefree and outgoing Xiaoling is more like a tomboy or a woman with a strong personality.

This caused Xiaoling to be frequently harassed by her colleagues. Even when the Rot God first came to the bathhouse, he pushed her out to clean her.

"Xiao Ling~~ Xiao Ling~~"

"Isn't it?"

Xiaoling heard the call and her expression changed drastically.

The girl, hands on her hips, strode aggressively toward the front desk, shouting, "Don't go too far! I've already been there once, why is it my turn so soon?"

The God of Rot came four times in total. Xiaoling served the first time, and the frog and slug did the work the next two times.

"Ah, no."

The father was actually quite wary of Xiaoling because she genuinely didn't care about the hierarchy in the bathhouse.

If Xiaoling is angered, the girl will definitely punch him in the face and show him what the traditional Japanese skill of overthrowing one's superior is all about.

"It's a newcomer!"

Father: "Where is that newcomer?!"

"Xiao Qian?"

Xiaoling glared at her father's servants fiercely: "Damn it, you did this on purpose!"

Chihiro was assigned to her, making her Lin's junior; the two were originally in the same group.

Let Chihiro serve the Rot God. Given Lin's personality, how could she let Chihiro suffer alone? She would definitely help her.

But we still assigned the work to her!

"Stop making noise here!"

"Yubaba!"

A huge figure descended from the sky; it was none other than Yubaba, the owner of the bathhouse.

"thousand!"

“Ah, yes!”

Yubaba looked at Chihiro, intending to have her cleanse the filth from the Rot God.

Chihiro is human, so she's not afraid of these things.

Even if it becomes tainted, the human body will not suffer any side effects.

The people in the bathhouse are even afraid of blood, which shows their aversion to filth.

To them, humans smelled terrible, like muddy monkeys covered in dirt, and could only become clean by spending time in the bathhouse.

"You go."

"Me, me?"

Chihiro was somewhat at a loss, as she had never served a deity before.

The staff at the bathhouse wouldn't give her that opportunity at all.

Deities are revered and respected beings, and employees consider it an honor to serve them. Sometimes, more generous deities will even bestow upon them gold and silver treasures transformed from their wishes.

No employee would pass up such an opportunity to earn extra money.

However, almost no one would be willing to approach someone like the God of Rot.

Only in situations like this would Chihiro be pushed in front of the bathhouse to shield others from bullets.

'That human brat only told me to protect the child, but didn't say I couldn't give her work.'

Yubaba promised Gu Yun that she would ensure Chihiro's safety in the bathhouse, and she was determined not to let the girl get into any danger.

As for serving the God of Rot, that's just disgusting, but there's definitely no danger.

In the contract between Gu Yun and Yubaba, there was no clause that Chihiro couldn't do chores.

On the contrary, Chihiro is an employee of the bathhouse, and as long as she complies with the bathhouse's rules, Yubaba can assign her any job.

"Of course, who else could it be but you?"

"Hurry up and go greet the guests!"

"Ah, yes!"

Chihiro had never seen the Rot God before, and the girl quickly ran towards the entrance.

"Well!"

The next moment, however, the girl smelled an extremely foul stench that made her dizzy and terrified: 'What is this smell? It stinks!'

Chihiro had never experienced such a smell before; it was almost suffocating.
