The Strange Tales of Tokyo Monk

This is the largest advertising order the firm has received this year.

And it was Fujiwara Kaori who fought for it herself.

She just stayed at Nagasawa Hotel for one night and happened to meet the manager of Nagasawa Hotel, Sakata, who strongly recommended her and offered a high price to invite her to shoot several promotional commercials.

Nagasawa Hotel is a chain hotel under the Nagasawa Group and is quite large.

Being able to become a female artist in their advertising campaigns is a great start.

"I believe I can conquer all the eyes that are cast upon my face."

Before leaving, Fujiwara Kaori said something that left a deep impression on Koike Miaki.

I really don't know where her confidence comes from.

Just because of her face?

Koike Miho shook her head and sighed. Young girls always think that beauty is their greatest weapon, but they don’t know that wisdom is it.

Only a woman who has both beauty and wisdom will not become a plaything in the hands of others. There are too many examples of disasters caused by beauty.

Especially in their line of work.

As it was almost time to get off work, Koike Miho sent a message to her daughter, saying that she would be back late in the evening and asked her to go to bed early.

Originally, Miyuki Koike also wanted to bring her daughter with her, but she clearly refused.

At around 6:, Miaki Koike drove to the Nagasawa Hotel in Shinjuku District.

She went there as a private friend of Horii Yuji, so she did not travel with the company's vehicle.

When Koike Miho arrived at Nagasawa Hotel, the birthday party had not officially started yet, so she went backstage to see how the female artists under her were preparing.

She didn't go in, but just stood at the door and looked around. The agent in charge of the team tonight was not her.

When it comes to makeup, female artists except Fujiwara Kaori try to enhance their beauty as much as possible in order to attract more attention.

After watching for a while, Koike Miho noticed that Fujiwara Kaori got up and left her seat, apparently going to the bathroom.

Could she...

Miho Koike suddenly remembered the speculations and discussions about Fujiwara Kaori by other female artists during this period of time.

There was also a glimpse of myself in the underground garage.

As if possessed by a ghost, he followed Fujiwara Kaori not too far away, went to the bathroom together, and entered the bathroom next to hers.

Next door, everything was quiet. There was no whispering, and no one was praying for divine protection.

About 10 minutes later, Fujiwara Kaori left the bathroom.

Koike Miaki just came out of the bathroom, washed her hands, looked at herself in the mirror, laughed and shook her head.

I actually believed such unfounded speculation and followed him.

I am really too suspicious.

Even if Fujiwara Kaori really raised a little ghost, she would not bring it here. She would only enshrine it at home or in other secret places.

As soon as Koike Miahiro left the bathroom, the lights in the empty bathroom flickered.

A dark figure slowly emerged in the mirror, as if she was embedded in the mirror.

It also seemed like a ball of dark mist swimming in the mirror.

She stood sideways, her red eyes fixed on Koike Miaki's back.

Her face is 90% similar to Fujiwara Kaori's.

Her long black hair fell freely, reaching her ankles and almost touching the ground.

The figure in the mirror withdrew his gaze from Koike Mikan, and gently stroked his face with his right hand, with an infatuated look in his eyes, as if he was very satisfied with his appearance.

"Let me tell you, there will be a wonderful song and dance performance before the birthday party tonight. I heard that the most popular female artist under Xingneng Agency, Fujiwara Kaori, has been invited."

"It's her! I love her looks so much! She's so beautiful!"

"That's right, Xiangzi was named the most beautiful female artist of the year by Xingneng Agency."

Outside the bathroom, three women came together.

The bathroom light returned to normal and the dark shadow in the mirror disappeared.

The birthday party was held on the third floor of Nagasawa Hotel.

As the birthday party was about to begin, Horii Suzune spotted Chiya Hiramiya in the crowd.

He did not come wearing a monk's robe, but a light white casual suit.

His young and handsome face stood out among the guests who were mostly in their thirties or forties.

"I have to leave first."

Horii Suzune left the small group, walked through the crowd, and came behind Hiramiya Chiye. She wanted to stand on tiptoe and quietly pat his shoulder.

But just as she raised her right hand, Pinggong Qianye turned around and faced her.

Horii Suzune raised her right hand and turned it over, with the palm facing upwards. She gently hooked her slender fingers and said with a smile: "Hiramiya-san, the Vajra Mandala I need should be completed, right?"

"Give."

Hiramiya Chiya handed a small light yellow cloth bag to Horii Suzune.

The front of the cloth bag is engraved with a small temple and the beautiful natural scenery around it.

Horii Suzune recognized that this was the temple inherited by Hiramiya Chiya's family, Weilian Ancient Temple.

Chapter 24 Buddha will bless you

This Vajra Realm Mandala was completed by Chiye Hiramiya three days ago.

Originally, he was thinking of bringing this Vajra Realm Mandala to school for Horii Suzune, and Horii Suzune herself would just ask him to bring it here for her.

Thinking that he had to attend the banquet, it would be a convenient thing for him to do, so he did not refuse.

"I thought Hiramiya-san would wear a monk's robe to attend the party tonight."

Horii Suzune stretched out her hand to open a corner of the cloth bag and took a look at the Vajra Realm Mandala inside. She felt happy and her tone became relaxed and cheerful.

"To subdue demons and monsters, one does not need a monk's robe. It is better to not wear superficial clothes."

"Mr. Pinggong, this verse sounds quite interesting. Which great monk said it?"

“I made it up.”

"..." Horii Suzune glanced at Hiramiya Chiye unhappily, "Master Liansheng, you are truly impressive."

Hiramiya Chiya wanted to ask about the 100 million yen mission, but Horii Suzune said first, "Let's talk about it later. Let's enjoy the banquet first. The singing and dancing performance is about to begin. Is Hiramiya interested?"

"No."

"That's the most beautiful female artist from Xingneng Agency this year!"

"Not interested in."

"I heard that her beauty is unforgettable to anyone who has seen her."

"It's probably another pink skeleton."

Horii Suzune pursed her lips, but she was in a pretty good mood.

She said a few more words and left first.

Tonight is her father's birthday party. Even though she doesn't like such occasions very much, she still needs to put a lot of effort into maintaining a good relationship.

At the front of the banquet hall, on a carefully decorated stage.

Lights gathered and sounds came in waves.

When Fujiwara Kaori walked onto the stage step by step, she just stood in front of the stage and smiled sweetly at all the participants.

The voices that were originally talking loudly suddenly decreased by half, and their eyes seemed to be uncontrollably attracted to Fujiwara Kaori standing on the stage.

Beauty, the indescribable beauty, makes people's eyes and hearts be captured and conquered involuntarily.

If other female artists are shining stars, then she is the unique black hole.

No matter how dazzling the light around her is, it will eventually belong to her.

Horii Suzune was also among the spectators below the stage, standing in the front row, holding in her hand the cloth bag containing the Vajra Realm Mandala that she had just received from Hiramiya Chiya.

For some reason, she felt a sense of disgust and aversion towards Fujiwara Kaori, who was standing on the stage and attracting everyone's attention.

Obviously, they just met for the first time.

Like repels like?

Horii Suzune suppressed the strangeness in her heart and once again looked carefully at Fujiwara Kaori, who was leading the dance and singing on the stage.

It was as if a thin layer of fog was gradually dispersing before her eyes, and a new Fujiwara Kaori came into her sight.

She is ordinary, like a little girl next door. She is not particularly pretty, let alone the most beautiful celebrity.

There is a faint dark brown spot on the upper left corner of her right cheek near the bridge of her nose, which looks very much like an age spot.

But she is obviously so young, probably around 24 years old, her skin condition shouldn't be like this.

If the full score for appearance is 100, she can only score 70 points at most.

If we only talk about beauty, she is not even as good as the two female artists around her.

But why does everyone think she is the most beautiful?

Just because she was standing in the center of the stage?

Or maybe there's a spell on her face that says I am the most beautiful?

Horii Suzune didn't know why she had so many thoughts.

She glanced at the people around her, and their eyes, both men and women, were all on Fujiwara Kaori's face on the stage.

Even her father, the protagonist of tonight's birthday party, had an obsessed look in his eyes.

Aunt Koike Miho was clearly right beside him, within his sight.

This is definitely not right!

Horii Suzune frowned, then relaxed her brows.

She stretched out her right hand and reached into the cloth bag, stroking the Vajra Realm Mandala. After thinking for a while, she took out a corner and pointed it towards Fujiwara Kaori on the stage.

At this moment, all the fog in her eyes dissipated, and Fujiwara Kaori on the stage had a new image.

The youthful and beautiful face is no longer there, instead there is only an old face covered with age spots, sunken eyes, face full of wrinkles, and the shiny black hair is also mixed with many white hairs.

This is not the state that Fujiwara Kaori should be in at this age!

In fact, this is no longer a normal phenomenon.

Horii Suzune was shocked for a moment, then silently put the corner of the Vajra Realm Mandala into the cloth bag.

Pretending to be calm, he took out his cell phone and prepared to send a message to Pinggong Qianye.

As soon as she finished typing the content, Pinggong Qianye sent her a text message, asking her to go to the ladies' room on the right.

Something really happened.

Horii Suzune deleted the input, replied with an OK, and then headed towards the ladies' room in the right corridor.

As she passed by her father, she made a point to observe his completely mesmerized expression.

How embarrassing! Fortunately, Auntie Koike Miyuki is also obsessed with you and has no time to pay attention to you.

Passing through the crowd and the corridor, Horii Suzune saw Hiramiya Chiya not far outside the ladies' room.

He leaned his back against the wall with a relaxed posture. Three girls gathered around him. They had bright smiles on their faces and held mobile phones in their hands, as if they wanted to exchange contact information with Pinggong Qianye.

He sent me a message to come over just to ask me to help him deal with this overabundance of bad peach blossoms?

"..."

Horii Suzune quickened her pace and came to Hiramiya Chiye with a smile on her face, and naturally put her hands around Hiramiya Chiye's arms.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, dear."
