I'm having fun in Tokyo

"Chi-chan, stop playing around."

He went over and gently patted her head.

"Yeah, Onii-chan."

Qianli Gongyu nodded and yawned.

Morikawa Yu then realized that she looked like she could fall asleep at any moment, but was just forcing herself to stay awake.

He couldn't help but glance at the PS3 in front of him.

To be honest, for someone who bought a PS4 after starting work in his previous life and almost played a PS5 before transmigrating, the PS3, which only supports up to 720p resolution, was simply not good enough.

But it's only March 2013, and the PS4 won't be available in North America for another six months or so, so we can only make do for now.

However, he felt that he could roughly foresee how she would become addicted to games in the future, after all, he himself used to play games all night long when he first started.

"Chi-chan, are you in school?"

Qianli Gongyu shook her head.

"no"

"My parents said they were afraid I would have an accident at school and scare my classmates, so they didn't let me go to school."

"However, my mother teaches me to read, so I can read, but I haven't seen my parents for a while."

Morikawa Yu listened and fell silent.

He could roughly guess that Qianli Gongyu's parents might have met with misfortune.

But he didn't know if this was the reason she was being targeted by the exorcist named Aso Tatsuya.

However, now that Kondo Ryoko has entrusted her to him, he will definitely protect her and prevent her from getting hurt.

Morikawa Kiyoi had also heard what Senri Miyako said, and bent down to hug Senri Miyako with her semi-solid body.

She could understand the feeling of helplessness and confusion that parents feel when they suddenly leave, and for the younger Qianli Gongyu, that feeling would be even more terrifying.

She now feels that in addition to taking care of her younger brother, she has another thing to do.

Morikawa Yu was unaware that his sister already had such thoughts; he simply found the scene before him somewhat heartwarming.

But he still had to go to class, and he would be late if he didn't leave soon.

He rubbed Qianli Gongyu's head and then pinched his sister's cheek.

"Okay, I should go to school now."

"Sister, do you want to stay home or come to school with me?"

"Let's go to school!"

Kiyoshi Morikawa answered immediately, then crawled into the lining of his clothes, inside the goshuin-cho (a type of curtain).

Qianli Gongyu stood up and obediently tugged at his sleeve.

Morikawa Yu turned off his PS3, tidied up quickly, and then took his homework, schoolbag, and Tsurumaru Kuninaga with him before heading out the door.

What he didn't expect was that Kondo Ryoko's voice suddenly appeared in his ear.

"Mr. Morikawa, where are you now?"

Chapter 32 Methods of Transmitting Sound

He didn't know how Kondo Ryoko transmitted her voice to him, nor did he know how to reply, so he just kept thinking to himself.

I'm at home, just about to go out.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Aunt Ryoko?"

Kondo Ryoko didn't react at all. A few seconds later, he heard her voice again.

"Can't you hear me, Morikawa-san? Or can't you answer?"

Meanwhile, Kondo Ryoko, inside the shrine, frowned.

She tried to communicate with Morikawa Yu through divine power and the Goshuincho (a type of incense burner), but received no response for a long time, which was very unusual.

Generally speaking, as long as she can transmit her voice to the other person's ears, she can also read the other person's inner response.

However, when she tried to decipher Morikawa Yu's thoughts, she found nothing, as if she were facing an invisible wall.

This made her feel a long-lost sense of urgency.

"Mr. Morikawa, can you hear my voice now?"

Over here, Morikawa Yu heard Kondo Ryoko's words again.

He was fairly certain that the method he had just tried had not worked.

Before he could continue thinking of a solution, he heard what Kondo Ryoko hadn't finished saying.

"If possible, please use your power to enter the Goshuincho and feel the fluctuations within."

"Sink into your heart and let your thoughts flow, and you will be able to converse with me..."

Morikawa Yu raised an eyebrow and immediately followed her instructions to try it out.

He placed his hand on his chest, and a gentle force of wind slowly flowed into him.

Soon, he sensed the fluctuation she had described.

He thought to himself again, and this time, Kondo Ryoko finally heard the voice.

"Aunt Liangzi, is there something you need?"

I'm at home, just about to go out.

"You haven't left yet? That's good."

"I just wanted to remind you to bring Senri-chan along."

Kondo Ryoko's voice came again.

Morikawa Yu glanced at Senri Miyako beside her and pinched her cheek.

"Don't worry, Aunt Liangzi, I'll remember."

"That's good"

Kondo Ryoko sighed, feeling a rare sense of relief.

I thought I couldn't get in touch with you.

"It now seems that your ultimate swordsmanship as a swordsman blocked my senses, which is why I had to make you take the initiative to establish contact with me."

"Also, Morikawa-san, what I just taught you was actually the method of contacting others using the Goshuincho (a type of official residence).

"As long as the other party writes their name on the Goshuincho (a type of ancient Chinese writing board), you can use the Goshuincho to hear the prayers of that person and their closest blood relatives, or directly transmit your voice to them and sense their thoughts."

"Furthermore, the way I had Feiyue tell you to save your sister is to establish a blood pact with your blood, allowing your sister to reside in it."

"It's more demanding and more robust than the previous condition I mentioned."

Sen Chuanyu listened and silently nodded in agreement.

The method I just tried to think of in my mind was actually correct; it's just that Kondo Ryoko didn't hear my voice.

As for why she was able to contact him, it was probably because of his own Goshuincho (imperial seal) and her power, and also because his sister's name was on it.

However, because she possessed the ultimate kendo skills, Kondo Ryoko could not hear her own inner thoughts.

This gave him a small sense of relief.

He doesn't like others hearing his thoughts directly, since that's no different from having his mind read.

However, if we look at it from the other side, wouldn't he also be able to use this method to contact people whose names are on the Imperial Seal Register?

Moreover, can one directly read the other person's thoughts?

I just don't know if I'll be able to get the name on her imperial seal.

His mind was completely absorbed in the imperial seal tent, and he immediately noticed a pale blue space in front of him.

The space is roughly divided into six areas.

In one of the open areas, there was a faint white figure, seemingly sleeping peacefully.

He immediately guessed that it must be his sister who was possessed by the Imperial Seal.

In another area, numerous points of light floated by.

Some of the light spots were very faint, while others were very bright, but when he looked closely, it seemed as if he could see names on them.

There was another area that was completely empty, and I had no idea what could be done there.

The other three areas seem similar to the first three areas, but they are pale gold.

In the first area, there were eight or nine illusory figures. In the second area, there were also light spots with names written on them, but there were very few of them, and each one was very bright.

The third area contained quite a few tangible items: imperial coins, bells, and even a considerable number of firearms and explosives...

Ah this...

Before Morikawa Yu could even think about what these guns were for, he heard Kondo Ryoko's voice.

"Mr. Morikawa, are you exploring the Goshuincho (template for visiting the palace)?"

"Yes"

He immediately replied via voice message.

"That's perfect, let me introduce you to it."

"The first area of ​​the Goshuincho is the dwelling place of the yokai you made a contract with. You should have seen your sister there as well."

"Yes, I saw it."

Morikawa Yu replied, while glancing at the golden area again.

Kondo Ryoko seems to have quite a few contracted yokai, and they are all very powerful.

In contrast, he only had his older sister as his contract partner.

"The second area consists of the youkai who left their names on the Goshuincho (a type of ancient Chinese seal scroll). We can contact them directly by their names."

Morikawa Yu nodded silently, but after searching for a while, he still couldn't find Senri Miyako's name.

It's probably because it wasn't her who left her name on the Goshuincho (a type of official seal), but her mother.

"The third area is storage space."

"You can put anything that you find inconvenient to carry inside, but please note that you cannot store living creatures there."

Morikawa Yu's eyes lit up.

He was worried that it would be inconvenient to take Tsurumaru Kuninaga out with him.

However, after glancing at the firearms and explosives in the golden area, he felt that Kondo Ryoko's situation was more inconvenient than anything else.

Moreover, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't imagine her smiling as she fired a gun.

"Mr. Morikawa, did you see those guns?"

"Actually, those were supplies I brought for the Metropolitan Police Department's SWAT team, because sometimes we need their help with a lot of things. I don't know how to use these weapons myself."

Morikawa Yu nodded inwardly, letting out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the image of the gentle older sister shrine maiden in his heart has not been shattered.

"But those explosives are indeed mine, and I like them very much."

"They work very well."

Morikawa Yu silently retracted her previous thought.

He felt he should rethink his life.

"Also, you should have noticed this too."

Kondo Ryoko's voice came again.

"You can see areas of different colors, and they are very similar."

"That's because our imperial seal ledgers are interconnected."
