Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

As the guardian of the mortal realm, Uesugi-nee is a neutral observer; she would never judge a fallen evil god because of humanity.

"Give it to her, and then pass it on to Takamagahara."

Takamagahara is part of the Japanese pantheon, and naturally, the issue of evil gods in this country should be left to them.

"That…"

Suzuka smiled and said, "The verdict in Takamagahara doesn't meet your requirements, does it?"

"..."

Gu Yun remained silent for a moment before focusing his attention entirely on the light novel: "Izanami really wants to go back to Takamagahara, right? I think she won't refuse my power."

Chapter 251 Seiichiro Saiba

"what? What?"

In the afterlife, Izanami, who ruled the world of the dead, suddenly felt a jolt in her heart; she seemed to sense something.

"This is... destiny!"

"Is destiny truly favoring me?"

Izanami was somewhat incredulous. Although she didn't know why, after so many years, her fate of defeat had finally taken a turn for the better. How could she possibly sit still?

With this destiny in her heart, she felt she could even fight her way back to Takamagahara and reclaim what rightfully belonged to her.

"Little brother."

Suzuka reached out and patted Tanigumo's head, saying in an older sister's tone, "Every word you say now will have a great impact."

"That counts too?!"

Gu Yun: "I just mentioned it casually."

“I reckon Izanami has probably already noticed,” Suzuka said. “Who knows, even Takamagahara is in chaos.”

"But this is what I really think."

Regarding other matters, if Gu Yun said something wrong, it should be rectified.

But this time, he wasn't joking.

Takamagahara rules over the Japanese pantheon. If they can't even handle the problem of evil gods, what's wrong with changing the ruler?

"Then this sentence is your will."

"I will inform Lady Miketsu."

Suzuka: "And there's the power of words."

"Hey, I've already noted it down."

The world's will is like the members of a board of directors, while the gods are merely the management. When Kotodama and Miketsu speak together, it is enough to easily strip any god of their power.

Of course, the Twelve Heavens are not included; they are the protectors of the world's will and belong to an independent system.

"The only fully awakened world will now consists of me and Miketsu."

With one hand supporting his chin, Yan Ling arrogantly declared, "As long as the two of us step in, the wills of other worlds will automatically remain silent."

In other words, this already constitutes complete control.

Because the other directors would abstain from voting, only Kotodama and Miketsuhime would make the decision.

Whatever it is, whatever Gu Yun says is what it is.

Previously, they had twelve days to hold a veto power, which allowed them to negate the will of the world they were protecting.

As for now…

It truly is a monopoly, a form of hegemony.

"This is the worst-case scenario."

Gu Yun didn't want Takamagahara to become so corrupt: "I'll stay out of it if I can avoid it, unless I have no other choice. I'm not interested in the filth of the upper class."

Human suffering and happiness are not eternal; there is also the afterlife and the next life.

The mistakes you make will be remembered by both benevolent and malevolent gods; no one can escape this cycle of natural law.

After getting off the bus, Gu Yun wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he took Suzuka and Yanling to a restaurant to fill their stomachs.

"I want this, this, and this!"

Yanling didn't stand on ceremony and ordered a bunch of things as soon as she came in.

She basically doesn't care about the price; she just orders whatever has an interesting name. Anyway, Gu Yun has plenty of money, so she can just act like she's eating a tycoon!

"I want grilled catfish and Japanese broth."

Suzuka followed her own taste and ordered two dishes she liked.

The two women do not need to eat, but enjoying delicious food is one of life's greatest pleasures, and they also enjoy eating with Gu Yun.

In addition, Gu Yun did not hide their presence.

When eating, shopping, or engaging in other activities, Suzuka and Kotodama will transform into human form to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

Just like now, Suzuka Gozen is seen by others as a sporty and beautiful girl wearing a white shirt and jeans, with an extremely long ponytail.

The Word Spirit character is a departure from the usual female ghost persona, with her long, snow-white hair replaced by long, straight black hair.

Sitting there, the young woman resembled a refined young lady from a wealthy family, attracting the attention of other diners in the restaurant.

"Grilled catfish, that's a rare sight indeed."

Standing behind the counter is the restaurant's head chef, who looks to be in his early twenties and has a head of unruly red hair.

"Can't we do it?"

Suzuka didn't order any dishes from the menu; she never looks at the menu when she goes to eat.

"sure."

The red-haired man paid no attention to Suzuka's attitude.

He could tell that Suzuka simply wanted to eat what she liked, and wasn't deliberately trying to cause trouble.

As a chef, isn't it only natural to serve the food that the guests need?

"So, buddy, what would you like to order?"

Pork chop rice.

Unlike those pampered young masters, Gu Yun preferred this kind of food that leaned towards a more commoner's style.

"Eh~~~"

The red-haired man was somewhat surprised, seemingly not expecting Gu Yun to order pork chop rice.

"You ever met me?"

Gu Yun raised his head and looked at the red-haired man. He could tell from the man's reaction that he was puzzled by his choice.

More importantly, I was curious as to why I ended up in this place.

It's like royalty coming to eat at a street stall—that sense of incongruity.

"do we know each other?"

Gu Yun stared intently at the man's face, pondering carefully, but unfortunately, he couldn't find the man's image in his memory.

"I used to be a student at Totsuki Academy."

"Ooh!"

Gu Yun suddenly realized: "Yuan Yue, no wonder."

Nao Hayasaka is frequently invited to participate in various Totsuki Culinary Arts events as a judge.

Although Gu Yun hadn't been there many times, his birthday banquets every year were invariably contracted to the Yuanyue Group. The fact that they could recognize him was the best proof of their superb culinary skills.

Because ordinary chefs don't have the right to present their creations to Gu Yun.

"It is truly astonishing that someone as important as you would come to eat here."

After the red-haired man finished speaking, he introduced himself: "My name is Saiba Joichiro. It is my honor that you can taste my cuisine."

"Ah."

Gu Yun doesn't like to treat people with a condescending attitude, unless the other person is arrogant.

He adjusted his glasses, and his entire demeanor changed from the previous refined and easygoing to profound and solemn. The aura of a superior was unleashed, and Gu Yun instantly seemed like a different person, putting immense pressure on Saiba Seiichiro.

Since Seiichiro Saiba has chosen to confront the identity of the head of the Tanigumo Iijima family, he certainly cannot let the other party down.

Similarly, when Gu Yun spoke as the head of the Iijima family, his requirements for the dishes were no longer as simple as just food.

"I just came here to eat something, that's all."

Gu Yun smiled and said, "Or do you want to hear my evaluation of your work?"

"If you can."

Saiba Seiichiro was serious; he had always wanted to meet this legendary prodigy of the Iijima family.

I never expected to run into you like this today!

"can."

Gu Yun smiled and said, "Then, I'll have to trouble Mr. Cai Bo."

"please wait."

Saiba Seiichiro tied on his headscarf, preparing to unleash his full power to entertain Gu Yun and the other two.

As he prepared the food, Yanling asked, "Is this someone you know?"

"do not know."

Gu Yun took a sip of oolong tea: "It seems to be one of the Elite Ten of Totsuki Academy, Seiichiro..."

He vaguely felt that the name sounded familiar, so he turned around and glanced at the shop's signboard.

"Yukihira Restaurant".
