Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Granny Yu regretted it; she shouldn't have accepted the job. Her small bathhouse simply couldn't afford to entertain such an important person!

Was I out of my mind to agree to host them?

‘It’s over. ’

Yubaba: 'If I do anything wrong later, the entire bathhouse, and me too, will be finished…'

Chapter 168 The Pirate Ship the Little Girl Didn't Know

"I really want to play together too..."

The little demon had been watching the commotion. When she saw Suzuka Gozen take over the authority of the afterlife, she wasn't angry at all. Instead, like a child, she wanted to go over and play with her.

Suzuka Gozen stood on the deck of the treasure ship of the sea kingdom, leading the procession forward.

'It seems he's not as bad as Brother Gu Yun described.'

Suzuka Gozen and Tanigumo are of one mind, but the latter has a very bad impression of the little devil.

It's like when a relative's child comes over to play and breaks a wall of figurines, and the other person just says, "She's still a child," trying to smooth things over.

Although it might be a bit of an exaggeration to say that, it doesn't feel that different.

That little brat is a real troublemaker.

After making things difficult for Gu Yun, she has now become entangled with Suzuka Gozen, with whom she has a close relationship.

"In the present moment, in the present moment, is there any way for me to also obtain a physical body?"

In the eyes of the female ghost, the original 'present tense' had long since perished and was reduced to a mere concept, but Gu Yun was able to revive the 'present tense' out of thin air.

The relationship is like someone who was originally reduced to ashes.

Then Gu Yun used these ashes to recreate Suzuka Gozen.

Therefore, although both use the same material basis, Suzuka Gozen is both the original 'present tense' and can be said to be completely new.

Of course, the female imp is different from the present tense; her mind is extinguished, and even from the perspective of a natural incarnation, she is equivalent to dead.

She is more like Miketsu's previous state, having gained life while preserving her consciousness.

"There is a way."

Suzuka Gozen did not reject the little demon.

Ultimately, the little devil was of the same clan as her, a blood relative from her mother's side.

If given the opportunity, Suzuka Gozen wouldn't mind bringing her under her command.

In addition, Suzuka Gozen thought of Tanigumo's dissatisfaction with the female demon and thought to herself, if the female demon also became Tanigumo's shikigami, wouldn't she be able to bully it however she wanted?

"What can we do? Say it quickly!"

"Don't worry, I'll discuss it with Brother Gu Yun in a bit."

Suzuka Gozen's idea was the new shikigami with an unknown identity that Gu Yun had previously obtained.

The lower limit of a shikigami depends on the traces of existence in this world that Gu Yun can obtain, from the world's will to local folk legends.

The upper limit depends on how many spirit points Gu Yun bestows, and whether it exceeds the specifications.

Like Miketsu, the female demon is also a world will, which guarantees a minimum of 85 spirit points.

The new shikigami is even worse than the fragmented shikigami, being completely shattered and incomplete. Therefore, this awakening opportunity can be used as a medium for the female demon to descend into the world, giving her a real physical body.

"But we'll have to wait until things are over."

Suzuka Gozen said this in the hope that the little devil would correct her attitude and position.

She wanted to be free, she wanted to truly live.

So now that Gu Yun has this power, she can't just not help him with what he needs to do; she absolutely, absolutely cannot cause him any more trouble!

"Yeah, if I had known he had this ability, I wouldn't have scolded him!"

The little female demon never expected that the 'minor' would be so powerful, turning around and reviving the 'present tense', and even granting her power far exceeding her own.

You're saying that Miketsu is the same?

That's different.

Miketsu wasn't familiar with the little demon, so the little demon didn't know how she acquired her physical body.

But the 'present tense' is the natural embodiment governed by the female imp, so Gu Yun's actions can be considered a forced substitution right under her nose.

With such abilities, she can transform into Suzuka Gozen in the present moment, and she can do the same.

'Jingshi must have used his methods to become the Inari god!'

The little demon regretted her actions and secretly sought help from Suzuka Gozen, unaware that the latter had already relayed their conversation to Tanigumo in its entirety.

Every single word and phrase is flawless!

"What do you think, Brother Gu Yun?"

"sure!"

"What could be wrong with that!"

Anyway, Gu Yun has already asked Hui Juan. If the unknown new shikigami wants to be awakened, it will definitely merge with some existence in this world.

It's all about integration; it wouldn't matter who's in charge.

Gu Yun agreed so readily because he wanted to get revenge for the little devil's foul mouth.

'Once she becomes my shikigami,' Gu Yun, sitting in the shrine, said with a slight smile, 'I'll give her a set of Ansai waist drums as a welcoming gift!'

"that is…"

Suzuka Gozen had a good impression of the little brat, like a girl of higher seniority but much younger age: "After you've taught her a lesson, little brother Gu Yun, could you please stop bullying her so much?"

"Of course!"

Gu Yun just felt that the little devil was too naughty and needed to be properly disciplined.

But if she really becomes Gu Yun's shikigami, then they'll be family, so how could he possibly bully her?

Yes, the Ansai waist drum performance isn't bullying, it's training!

In order to make the little devil a well-mannered child, Gu Yun felt that she needed to develop morally, intellectually, and physically in an all-round way.

'It's a pity this isn't my past life, otherwise I would definitely give her a set of three years of mock exams and five years of college entrance exam preparation materials.'

"That's no problem."

Suzuka Gozen also felt that the little devil needed to learn more useful knowledge.

Yes, they need to be disciplined properly.

"Here we are."

Yu Yao walked to Suzuka Gozen's side, sensing the presence ahead: "Xunxiangxing has taken the lead and made arrangements before us, what's next?"

"The demons of Kyoto are too ferocious, so let them guard the outermost perimeter."

"Let the Nura Clan's Hyakki take charge of the inside."

Suzuka Gozen wasn't particularly fond of the demons of Kyoto, but she did quite like the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons).

In particular, the Nura father and son possessed a chivalrous spirit, which was similar to the principles upheld by the goddess of Suzuka.

"The fairies of Gancheng don't have to do anything, they just need to liven up the atmosphere."

"The only ones who can truly serve me are the fox spirits of Konohana-tei."

There were five groups of people in total. Apart from Gu Yun's relatives and friends who were the hosts, Cihua Pavilion was a maid from the family, one of their own.

The relationship between Gan Cheng Fairy and Gu Yun is more like that of good friends without any ulterior motives, a group of simple and kind guests.

The Nura Clan and the Kyoto demons are collaborators, and the former is more trustworthy to Tanigumo. That's why Suzuka Gozen made this arrangement to bring the demons closer together and show the Kyoto shoguns' affinity.

As for the demons of Kyoto…

Suzuka Gozen felt they were not trustworthy.

It's not that Hagoromo Gitsune and Kidomaru are treacherous people.

Suzuka Gozen simply felt that the person in charge of the Kyoto demons wasn't even here, so there was no need to get too close to him.

"Are we distancing ourselves from the demons of Kyoto?"

Yu Yao smiled and said, "It seems that even the eldest sister thinks it's not advisable to get too close to them."

Since they were all on the same side, Miss Silver Fox didn't need to hide anything and directly expressed her aversion to the demons of Kyoto.

Gu Yun has a mild personality; as long as you don't become his enemy, there's a possibility of becoming friends with him.

Even if the other party is a demon from Kyoto, or Hagoromo Gitsune, Gu Yun will still treat them with courtesy.

Chapter 169: Immediate Boss

“Hagoromo Gitsune is not inherently bad, and his subordinates such as Kidomaru and Kuramayama are very loyal,” Suzuka Gozen said. “But I don’t really trust that Kuro Seimei. He doesn’t seem like the type to be friends with Tanigumo.”

Such a person is too ambitious and would never share the delicious food in front of them with others.

Gu Yun had no ambition; he just wanted to live a good life. He neither wanted to rule others nor to be subservient to anyone.

Suzuka Gozen knew this all too well.

However, Gu Yun tacitly approved of the existence of the Shangluo Clan.

Because he knew that he needed an organization, a force.

It's not for fighting with others, but simply so that when needed, he has enough power to protect those around him.

Suzuka Gozen has always cared deeply for her family. She recognized the organization, Kyoto-shu, and took over its management from Tanigumo.

Yes, from now on, Suzuka Gozen will be the leader of the Kyoto garrison.

Gu Yun will retire behind the scenes and live the life he wants, without having to worry about his family and friends anymore.

"Kuro Seimei..."

"Is the boss planning to make a move against him?"
