I'm having fun in Tokyo

"You can use this area directly, but please don't take out those guns."

That would cause trouble for the Metropolitan Police Department.

I won't take those.

Morikawa Yu responded in his heart.

He certainly wouldn't take it, because he didn't need it.

After all, his era has never changed.

For a swordsman, all he needs is a sharp sword.

As long as my sword is fast enough, I can leap left and right on the edge of the times, like a roc spreading its wings, omnipotent.

"That's settled then. Thank you for protecting Senri-chan."

"It's alright, Aunt Liangzi, don't worry, I'll protect her."

Morikawa Yu replied, then felt Kondo Ryoko's aura disappear into the Goshuincho.

He let out a soft breath, regained his composure, and touched the imperial seal on his body.

Kondo Ryoko gave it to him, which now seems to show that she didn't treat him like an outsider at all.

Chapter 33 Aso Tatsuya

She's probably really planning to become the shrine's heir.

But he still kept a watchful eye.

After all, he didn't completely trust Kondo Ryoko.

Senchuan Yu glanced at Qianli Gongyu beside her and pinched her cheek.

"Gong Yu-chan, what's your mother's name?"

"Kazumi, my mother's name is Yuzuru Kazumi."

"Um"

Morikawa Yu nodded.

His thoughts sank into the Goshuin tent, searching in the second section, and finally found a very dim spot of light with the name Yuzuru Kazumi on it.

Soon, his thoughts enveloped it.

"Gong Yu-chan?"

"Huh? Onii-chan!"

Qianli Gongyu looked at Senchuan Yu with a puzzled expression.

She didn't speak, but he heard her voice.

"You can talk to me in my mind now!?"

"right"

Morikawa Yu nodded.

He appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly very excited.

This ability is incredibly useful; it's like having a private chat in a chat channel.

Even if they need to conspire to scheme against someone, they can do so directly in front of the other person.

And there are definitely more convenient ways to use it.

He thought about it briefly, kept it in mind, and then gently patted Qianli Gongyu's head.

Let's go to school.

Qianli Gongyu nodded obediently.

He took Senri Miyabi's hand and, as they left, he touched Tsurumaru Kuninaga at his waist and casually tucked it into the third section of his goshuincho (temple).

......

Itabashi Ward, Tokyo.

In a convenience store on a street corner, a girl with a round face smiled sweetly at the customer paying in front of her.

"2300 yen, thank you very much for your patronage."

The customer smiled, picked up his items, took the change, and walked out of the store.

The store manager next to her nodded, looking slightly troubled.

"Yumi-chan, can I do you a favor?"

When Kitamura Yumi heard the store manager call her name and saw that no customers were walking towards her, she nodded.

"Please speak, store manager."

"Is such that"

The store manager paused slightly and glanced at a salesperson who was arranging stock not far away.

"Tatsuya-kun has seemed very listless since he came to the store today."

I'm worried that something might be bothering him.

"But I'm an old man like myself, and I don't really understand what you young people are thinking. Could you please help me enlighten him?"

"I remember you two went to the same school, that should make things easier, right?"

After the store manager finished speaking, Kitamura Yumi hesitated and glanced at the young man over there.

She remembered the other person's name.

His name is Tatsuya Aso, and like her, he is a student at a nearby high school.

Although they both work here, they have hardly spoken to each other, at most exchanging a smile.

All she knew was that his parents had died when he was in elementary school, and he had been able to attend school with the help of a distant aunt.

However, he had excellent grades and was also very independent.

Despite receiving financial assistance from a distant aunt, she still insisted on working to earn her living expenses.

Although she was there to work, she only wanted to earn some pocket money.

Do I really need to try to comfort the other person?

I always feel like I'm a bit weaker in terms of presence.

But if we don't go, the shop manager will be very troubled.

It's not easy for an old man like him to have it so badly.

Now I also have to worry about the staff, which will be even more of a headache.

Finally, Kitamura Yumi mustered her courage and walked towards Aso Tatsuya.

"Hello, you're Asou from Class 6, Grade 2, right?"

Is something bothering you?

Aso Tatsuya glanced at Kitamura Yumi, who had spoken to him, seemingly surprised, but still shook his head.

"Sorry, I just didn't sleep well last night. Thank you for your concern."

"Ah, so that's how it is."

Kitamura Yumi nodded.

She wanted to say something more, but seeing Aso Tatsuya's forced smile, she couldn't bring herself to continue.

Aso Tatsuya watched her go back to the cashier to hand over her work to the store manager, sighed, and continued with his own work.

When it was time to leave work, he looked at Kitamura Yumi, who still wanted to talk to him, shook his head seriously, picked up his bag, and turned to leave the convenience store.

He was walking down the road when, after a short while, a black sedan drove up to him, stopped, and opened the back door.

Sitting in the back seat was a middle-aged man with a beard and a gloomy face.

Aso Tatsuya subconsciously took a step back, but the driver in the front seat got out of the car and pushed him into the vehicle.

The middle-aged man scrutinized him, his face growing even darker.

"It's been two days, is my medicine ready yet!?"

Aso Tatsuya's expression darkened, he shrank back a bit, and shook his head.

"Mr. Tsugawa, as I've said before, I don't know my father's pharmaceutical methods."

"I've said it before, I don't believe it at all."

The middle-aged man, called Tsugawa, grabbed Aso Tatsuya's chin.

"That guy Aso Jiro couldn't have left nothing behind. You're his son, you must know something he'd do."

"I don't want you to do anything immoral or heinous. What's wrong with using monsters to make medicine?"

"But you told me there would be no news of the person who would bring me the monster."

Aso Tatsuya tried his best to argue, feeling extremely frustrated.

He was approached by this middle-aged man named Tsukawa the day before yesterday.

As soon as the other party found him, they said they knew his father and wanted his help to make medicine using monsters.

But he had no idea how to make the medicine as the other party had described.

He only remembered that when he was young, his father told him that they were a down-on-their-luck family of exorcists, and that they possessed the method to make a kind of illusion drug.

This medicine can not only relieve people's pain and give them a wonderful illusion as if they were in a fairyland, but it can also make people's bodies stronger.

However, it required the flesh and blood of monsters, so his father killed many small monsters and eventually died at the hands of a monster.

He hated the medicine, hated the monsters, and hated his father.

If his family hadn't been able to make this medicine, and if his father hadn't gone to kill monsters to make the medicine, he wouldn't have lived alone since childhood and had to rely on a strange distant aunt for support.

He thought that as he grew up, he would be able to get rid of the shadows of his childhood, but he never expected that strange people would still come knocking on his door.

This fueled his anger, but along with his anger came only tension.

He genuinely wished his damned father had taught him inhuman abilities, so he would have more ways to deal with this person, but he couldn't remember his father having taught him anything.

That damned bastard always squanders all the money he makes from selling medicine, drinking and womanizing. Otherwise, my mother wouldn't have been driven to her death by him.

Tsugawa didn't give Aso Tatsuya more time to reminisce.

He released Aso Tatsuya's chin and patted his face with his hand.

"You don't need to worry about the two monster-catching people I found."

Even if they get arrested by the police, it won't affect our business.

"The money I gave them was enough to shut them up."

As Tsugawa spoke, he looked at Tatsuya Aso, who was breathing a sigh of relief, with a hint of mockery on his face.

Of course, he wouldn't tell the young man in front of him that he was the one who told those two guys that even if they were to reveal the mastermind, he would say the name Aso Tatsuya.

He believed that the police would be drawn to Tatsuya Aso, just like sharks smelling blood, because of Aso's surname.

He, on the other hand, would stop short of making a move and quickly leave.

Given his wealth, the police probably wouldn't dare to actually investigate him.

"What if they really get arrested?"

Aso Tatsuya asked another question.

Chapter 34 The fickleness of human nature

"Because I went to the place you mentioned today, and there was no one there anymore."

"And that monster you mentioned seems to have left its dwelling place as well."

"Mr. Tsugawa, do you know where any other yokai are?"
