Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

The collaboration between Nakiri Munee and Iijima Tamaki is progressing steadily, and construction in Northern Europe is in full swing with unexpectedly high efficiency.

This further solidified Nakiri Sōe's idea that cooperating with the Iijima family was a brilliant move.

Just as rumored, the Iijima family seemed to have divine assistance.

They were like people standing at the forefront of the world; anyone who boarded the Iijima family ship could have their wishes fulfilled and become extremely wealthy.

"Poke, poke, poke."

Nakiri Managi couldn't help but move closer to Taniguchi, savoring the delicious scent emanating from him: 'What is this smell? How can it be so comforting?'

Even though she hadn't tasted the food, Nakiri Managi seemed to have fallen into a dreamlike state of mind, unable to extricate herself.

Even his fingers couldn't help but poke Gu Yun's face.

"Um, Miss Nakiri?"

"Managi!"

Gu Yun and Nakiri Munee spoke at the same time, but compared to the former's confusion, the latter rebuked in a serious tone: "How can you be so rude to Young Master Gu Yun?"

"what?"

Nakiri Managi was startled, but quickly realized what she meant and said, "No, I'm sorry."

"it's okay no problem."

Gu Yun smiled and waved his hand, knowing why Nakiri Managi was close to him.

Gu Yun's spiritual rank is extremely powerful, almost perfect.

Even a goddess like the Water Queen was captivated by Gu Yun, so it's understandable that Nakiri Managi couldn't resist this level of male beauty.

He had actually tried his best to hide it.

However, intuition is innate, and it is difficult to suppress it with acquired magic.

Perhaps when Gu Yun cultivates his spiritual vision to a higher level, he can live a life of seclusion in the world. But for now, these people with spiritual senses are more perceptive than sorcerers with spiritual power.

"Just call me Managi-nee."

"Forehead"

Gu Yun felt that she should get used to it.

Managi Nakiri is very beautiful, with long golden hair and delicate eyebrows. Unlike in the manga, the current Managi Nakiri is still very young and is not the glutton who can only survive on glucose because she cannot taste delicious food.

"I am flattered by Miss Nakiri's favor."

"Isn't that too rigid?"

The girl chuckled and cupped Gu Yun's face in her hands, then rubbed it: "You're clearly just a child, but your tone is so mature."

"Ma-Ma Nagi!!"

Nakiri Munee was shocked and quickly pulled his sister's hand back: "How rude of you! How could you do this?!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself again."

Nakiri Managi is a rather traditional woman, a model of being knowledgeable and reasonable.

But when she was with Gu Yun, she seemed to break free of her inhibitions, repeatedly reverting to her girlish nature and unable to resist wanting to play and joke with the boy in front of her.

"It's alright, Miss Nakiri didn't mean any harm."

"in addition."

Gu Yun smiled and said, "Just call me Gu Yun, Masaki-nee."

"Haa~~~"

The word "Managi-nee" touched Nakiri Managi's heart: "Mmm, Kotani Kumo! From now on, I'll call you Kotani Kumo!"

As she spoke, Nakiri Managi was about to reach out and pull Tanigumo into her arms.

Unfortunately, someone was faster than her.

"Arnold."

At some point, Miyako, Mei, and Tamaki Iijima appeared beside Nakiri Managi.

The girl's hand was grabbed by Miyako, and the three older women twitched their lips slightly, looking at Nakiri Managi as if she were a little wildcat stealing fish.

“Miss Nakiri, the ladies’ gathering place is over here.”

"Come on, let's go together."

"Hey, wait a minute."

Nakiri Managi was full of doubt, but how could she possibly be a match for three women? She was immediately forcibly dragged away from Gu Yun's side.

"Indeed."

This scene made Nakiri Munee break out in a cold sweat: "My sister isn't usually like this."

"Yeah, I understand."

Gu Yun smiled gently as always. He didn't dislike the straightforward Nakiri Managi: "Mr. Nakiri, are you here representing the Nakiri family?"

"Yes."

This time, Nakiri Munee did not come to visit on his own.

He told his father about the Iijima family's situation, and the headmaster of Totsuki Academy personally instructed the Nakiri family to offer their blessings to the alliance between Iijima and Yukinoshita.

The implication is that the Nakiri clan is also willing to get involved and build a good relationship with the Iijima Group.

"The commander-in-chief is indeed as rumored, full of charisma."

The Nakiri family is a powerful force at the group level. Even the power that the Iijima family has gathered now cannot compare with them.

Gu Yun was quite pleased to have gained the approval of the Nakiri clan.

Chapter 55 The Forest of Trees

Those attending the banquet included not only truly prestigious families, but also some simply wealthy individuals.

Now that the Iijima family has risen to prominence, along with other prominent families such as the Kotobuki, Nakiri, Chitanda, and Adagaki, they have earned the right to assess newly wealthy members of the aristocracy.

It can be said that if one could obtain a joint recommendation from these families, becoming a member of a prestigious family would be a certainty.

Like the Hiratsuka family, they were practically destined to become a prestigious family.

It's only a matter of time before I join the ranks of true celebrities.

Of course, such things cannot be done frequently, and there are also restrictions within the Chinese community, so it is impossible to open back doors for people on a large scale.

Even with time restrictions, it's still enough to attract wealthy people who have no other way to become part of the elite.

There are no spots available right now, but they can wait.

Three years, five years, or even ten years—not all families can rise to prominence as quickly as the Iijima family.

It takes over ten or twenty years of accumulation for a person to go from being rich to becoming an aristocrat; this is the normal phenomenon.

"No way, even that person is here?"

"So the Iijima family has connections with the Tengu Group."

Just as the wealthy people who had come to attend the banquet were looking enviously at the new conglomerate centered around the Iijima family, a series of low gasps came from the entrance.

"Heavenly Palace..."

Even Tamaki Iijima and Mei couldn't remain calm now.

An elderly man with a cane was seen slowly walking towards them, supported by a beautiful woman with short hair and a dashing appearance.

There was also a boy about the same age as Gu Yun, who was clinging tightly to the old man's clothes and following behind them.

"Old Master Tiangong, why did you come here in person?"

Mr. Masashige pulled Gu Yun's arm and led the family heads of the Iijima lineage over.

"Yes, I heard that the snail's grandson is here too, so I wanted to come and see."

The old man's name is Tengu Maki, the chairman of Amamiya Corporation, and also a mentor to Iijima Tamaki on her business journey.

He was a good friend of Gu Yun's grandfather, and when he was young, a snail saved his life.

In addition, the Tiangong family is a long-established conglomerate.

They are not a local Japanese force, but rather a family that gradually evolved from overseas wealthy businessmen who settled in Japan.

However, the Tiangong family faced a crisis decades ago, and almost all of the older generation died.

Now, only Amamiya Maki and his two granddaughters, Amamiya Sonomi and Amamiya Nadeshiko, remain in the entire family.

Both women have married; Sonomi changed her surname to Daidoji, and Nadeshiko changed her surname to Kinomoto.

And that little boy was none other than Touya Kinomoto, the great-grandson of Maki Amamiya and the child of Nadeshiko.

"Grandpa, I'm going to go play with Xiaohuan and Mei."

Daidouji Sonomi greeted them, smiled slightly at Gu Yun, and then moved closer to Iijima Tamaki and Yukinoshita Mei: "Senior and junior, it's been a long time."

Daidoji Sonomi and the two girls were classmates and seniors at the same school, and they were also in the same club.

Iijima Tamaki is a year ahead of Terazono Miyako, while Yukinoshita Mei is a year younger than her. The three of them make up a wonderful combination of senior, junior, and freshman.

"Where's Nadeshiko? Why didn't she come?"

Mei was referring to Daidouji Sonomi's cousin, Touya's mother, and now Kinomoto Nadeshiko.

“Nadeshiko’s health has been poor ever since she gave birth to Sakura.”

Daidoji Sonomi said with distress, "Fujitaka asked us to bring Touya over so he could take care of her at home."

"Are you sick again?"

Mei and Nadeshiko grew up together and are childhood friends: "Let's go see Haruno after her birthday."

They were about the same age, except that Nadeshiko got married earlier and had a child at the age of 17.

However, it may also be because of giving birth too early that Nadeshiko's health has always been poor.

That's not the reason at all.
