I'm having fun in Tokyo

Unable to stand by and watch this continue, she took action and dealt with the exorcist, solving the problem at its source.

But what she didn't expect was that this exorcist had a son, and that the child was also very dissatisfied with his father's behavior.

Unable to convince herself to kill the child, she spared him.

For the next eight years, she forged a false identity and, under the name of his aunt, sponsored his schooling and living expenses, visiting him once every few months.

Until the last time she came, the child was still facing life positively.

But yesterday, she heard his name from those two guys.

She instinctively sensed something was wrong, so she asked Ryunosuke Kurokawa to investigate Tatsuya Aso, and then prepared to come and see for herself.

As it turned out, she did discover that Tatsuya Aso had changed.

He had lost his former vigor; all that remained was resentment.

Although he tried his best to hide it, this level of performance couldn't fool her at all.

He must have been in contact with someone and been threatened by them, otherwise such a change would not have occurred.

When we spoke on the phone a few months ago, he said he wanted to apply to Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology and become a useful member of society.

Now she stood behind Tatsuya Aso, watching him mutter to himself and write these things. How could she not understand what had happened?

"Tatsuya, what were you talking to yourself about just now?"

She summoned the grey butterfly, transforming herself back into the appearance of an ordinary woman, revealing her true form.

Aso Tatsuya's face stiffened.

He turned around and found that his aunt, who had left, had returned and was standing behind him.

"aunt!?"

His face paled, and he instinctively stood up, hiding the paper behind his back and crumpling it into a ball.

Kondo Ryoko ignored the piece of paper.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that she has memorized everything on it.

She looked at the embarrassed Tatsuya Aso, sighed, and asked softly.

"Tatsuya, why don't you tell me about what's bothering you?"

Aso Tatsuya subconsciously shook his head, wanting to say that this had nothing to do with his aunt.

And even if you wanted to help, Aunt, you couldn't.

However, when he glanced at the door behind Kondo Ryoko, which seemed to have never been opened, he suddenly realized that the problem was not so simple.

He looked Kondo Ryoko up and down with suspicion, as if he were seeing her for the first time.

"Aunt, are you a demon exorcist like Dad?!"

Kondo Ryoko raised an eyebrow.

She hadn't expected that Aso Tatsu would also guess her identity in this way.

"Um... that's me."

Finally, under Tatsuya Aso's expectant gaze, she nodded, then shook her head slightly.

"But I'm not like your father; I wouldn't intentionally hurt anyone."

"So don't expect me to teach you any powerful spells, or give you shikigami to risk your life for."

Aso Tatsuya fell silent again.

He thought he finally had a chance to deal with Tsugawa, but he was rejected outright.

Seeing Tatsuya Aso's expression, Ryoko Kondo secretly shook her head.

She did consider teaching Aso Tatsuya, but she wasn't a real exorcist.

Furthermore, the cultivation of exorcists places great emphasis on the power of bloodlines, and Asou Tatsuya's bloodline is too weak, making it impossible for him to become stronger.

That's why she wanted him to live a normal life as much as possible.

"Then, Aunt, what should I do?"

Finally, Tatsuya Aso looked up again and asked.

Since his aunt is an exorcist, she must have a way to help him.

He didn't want to be pressured by Tsugawa anymore, nor did he want to see Kitamura Yumi in danger.

The reason I was plotting just now was because I had lost all hope and didn't want to continue like this.

But now that he has discovered his aunt is no ordinary person, he sees new possibilities.

He didn't want to give up on this possibility!

"Tatsuya, it's not shameful to ask for help when you can't solve something yourself."

"Although it's not appropriate for me to take direct action."

"But I can recommend someone to you; you can ask him for help."

"Given his pursuit of the sword path, he certainly wouldn't stand idly by and watch such a thing happen."

"Really?"

Aso Tatsuya seemed somewhat incredulous.

But seeing Kondo Ryoko's serious expression, he hesitated and nodded...

......

Outside Sakuragawa Academy, in a coffee shop.

Looking at the high school student sitting in front of him, who was about the same age as him, Morikawa Yu was unsure of where the other person came from.

He ran into this guy when he left the school after the kendo club activities this afternoon.

It seemed the other party had been waiting outside, just waiting for him to come out.

Although he knew that some high schools didn't have afternoon classes, he was still taken aback.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

Finally, Morikawa Yu asked the guy who had been staring at her the whole time.

The other person looked at him very carefully for a long time, then suddenly stood up and bowed to him.

"Please, Morikawa-san!"

Please help me!

"Ok?"

Morikawa Yu was even more puzzled.

Upon hearing this guy say that, his first thought was Kondo Ryoko.

But looking at this guy's appearance and comparing him to Qianli Gongyu sitting obediently next to him, he couldn't tell no matter how he looked at it, the other party didn't seem like a monster.

Why would the other party seek help from this so-called new arbitrator?

"Are you human?"

Morikawa Yu asked.

Aso Tatsu was also stumped by the question.

He stared blankly at the handsome young man in front of him, stunned for a long time.

Just moments before he bowed to Morikawa Yu, he couldn't believe that the person his aunt had asked him to ask for help was actually a high school student the same age as him.

But Morikawa Yu's question only made him more suspicious.

What high school student would ask someone if they are human?

Only those delusional teenagers who are obsessed with fantasies all day long would ask such a question, right?

But looking at Morikawa Yu's appearance, he just couldn't connect him with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

While he was waiting for Morikawa Yu, he saw many girls from the school greet him, and some of them looked shy when he responded.

How could someone who should be a perfect social butterfly be a pathetic fantasist?

But if the other person isn't suffering from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), then it can only mean that the other person might not be human.

He subconsciously glanced at Senri Miyabi next to Morikawa Yu, and the more he looked, the more something seemed off.

He carefully recalled Tsugawa's description and couldn't help but shudder.

The other person's appearance clearly indicated that he was the target Tsugawa wanted him to capture.

Why was she standing next to the person she was asking for help from?

Could he really be a monster?

I've ended up asking a monster for help!

He was in a panic, so he took a step back but bumped into the chair behind him and sat down with a thud.

Morikawa Yu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Chapter 36 Doing What I Should Do

Is this guy trying to be funny?

Who asks for help like this?

Aso Tatsuya was being looked at strangely by Morikawa Yu, and hesitated again.

Regardless of whether the other party is a monster or not, since her aunt said he could help her, she shouldn't back down.

Moreover, my aunt is very likely not human either.

He wasn't so suspicious in the afternoon; he was just afraid to face the truth.

He didn't dare to express his thoughts in front of his aunt.

He had suspected it a long time ago.

My father died because of his large-scale drug trafficking, and afterwards a distant aunt helped me financially.

But my mother never mentioned having such a distant sister when she was on her deathbed, and my maternal grandparents have also disappeared without a trace.

He could find no other explanation besides this conjecture.

When he was a child, he thought his father was annoying, so he didn't want to get involved in such matters.

Right now, he simply wants to find someone to rely on.

No matter who the other party is, as long as they can give him hope and help him solve the problem of Tsugawa, he is willing to do anything for them.

"So why exactly did you ask me for help?"

Aren't you going to say anything?

Seeing Aso Tatsuya's hesitation, Morikawa Yu urged him on.

He also wanted to find a dojo to gain experience and learn skills, so he didn't have time to watch people perform face-changing here.

"Ah...I see."

Aso Tatsuya immediately stood up and bowed slightly to Morikawa Yu.

"My name is Tatsuya Aso, and I'm a student at a nearby high school."

"My father did some wrong things in the past. He killed weak monsters to make medicine from their corpses in order to sell addictive drugs to others."

"Now, because of those things, my father's friend has come to my door."

"That person wanted me to do the same thing as my father, and he even threatened me with the girl I had a crush on, saying he would hurt her if I didn't."

"I'm just an ordinary person, powerless and penniless, with no way to resist."

"Because my aunt told me that Morikawa-san wouldn't stand idly by and watch something like this happen."

"That's why I've taken the liberty of coming to bother you, hoping that Mr. Morikawa can lend me a hand."

Morikawa Yu frowned.
