From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

Matsushigoro was obviously not happy with him staying in the store, and he was not like those thick-skinned regular customers who would order a drink and a small dish to stay all night, but he kept ordering this and that. Every time Matsushigoro just sat down and opened the newspaper, he would order another dish, which made Matsushigoro's face more and more ugly.

"Natsukawa-kun..." Aoki Yui was a little embarrassed being caught in the middle, so she had to beg him.

"Who made him always look at me coldly and speak badly to me...Okay, I get it. I won't deliberately make trouble for him anymore." Xia Chuan also felt that this way of revenge was a bit childish, but after all, they were like family members. Apart from this kind of prank-like revenge to increase his sales, what else could he do?

"Brother...what are you and Yui doing?" Finally, a regular customer couldn't help it and secretly sat next to him while Matsushige Goro and Aoki Yui were busy.

"See through it but don't say it out loud." Xia Chuan said.

The regular customer smiled and shook his head, gave him a thumbs up, stood up and returned to his seat.

Soon, all the regular customers began to secretly give him a thumbs-up.

Xia Chuan was secretly happy, and really wanted to do as some stories said, slamming the table and shouting: "I'll be the biggest spender in the place today!"

However, considering that this behavior would most likely make Matsushige Goro feel that he was unreliable and even doubt his identity, he decided to keep a low profile.

He was really bored, so he just quietly helped them to take care of their bodies. This way, they could happily drink here for a few more years, which should be the best New Year's gift.

When the work is done, I leave, hiding my achievements and fame. Alas, life is as lonely as snow!

At this moment, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

A moment later, led by the jubilant Daisuke Sasaki, the people from the Corpse Agency filed in one after another, walking in without missing a single one, and occupied the largest table in the izakaya.

"Excuse me, please order some food!" Daisuke Sasaki said loudly.

They are actually regular customers. Although they don't come every day, they come at least two or three times a month. Soon, a regular customer asked, "Brother, you are in such a good mood. Did you get a promotion and a raise?"

"That's about right." Sasaki Daisuke couldn't close his mouth. He looked at the guests in the pub and suddenly said loudly and generously: "Give each table an extra serving of barbecue! A glass of wine for each person! It's my treat!"

Xia Chuan immediately rolled his eyes.

But this action immediately caused a commotion among the guests. Adding a dish and a glass of wine actually doesn't cost much, but this kind of thing doesn't happen to everyone, and everyone felt it was very fresh.

Of course, some people said that they didn't need it, but no matter what, most people thanked and congratulated Daisuke Sasaki, allowing him to sit down contentedly.

"Boss, give me a bottle of wine and seven glasses first, thank you!"

Yui Aoki started to get busy, and Natsukawa couldn't bear to see it, so he stood up and helped her get the things and brought them to their table.

It was actually a wonderful feeling to face these guys for the first time with this identity and this perspective.

"I'm sorry, everyone. I took the initiative again today." Daisuke Sasaki was busy pouring wine for everyone, but except for him, no one else was in a good mood. Aoshima was even a little angry.

Of course Natsukawa knew what was going on. More than an hour ago, in another supernatural incident, it was Sasaki Daisuke who killed the evil spirit with one sword. In this way, after obtaining the magic weapon bestowed by him, Sasaki had achieved two consecutive kills.

"Don't rush forward so much." Tachibana Hiroichi said in a low voice. "No one is competing with you for the credit. You can't kill all those things! Protecting yourself and solving the problem in the safest way is the most important thing."

"I understand, I understand." Sasaki nodded repeatedly, but no matter how he looked, he didn't listen at all. "You all order food, today is my treat! Let me make it clear, Sugishita, you can't leave until you have had enough to drink today!"

Kimoto rolled his eyes at him, Aoshima looked at Sugishita, and the two of them reached a tacit understanding without making any noise. Baime was still using the computer, while Inaba Rika was somewhat worried.

It would be great if the problem could be solved quickly, but with someone like Sasaki's impulsiveness, something bad is bound to happen; it's just a matter of time.

What can I do to calm him down without hurting his enthusiasm? Do I need to report this to Lord Haitai and ask for his help?

Amid the noise, drinks had already been delivered to everyone, so Sasaki once again invited everyone to drink together, and the mood became even higher.

Matsushige Goro moved quickly and the first batch of appetizers was soon delivered to their table. Aoshima and Sugishita immediately began to urge Sasaki to drink, and Kimoto soon joined in. Tachibana Hiroichi and Inaba Rika looked at each other and could only shake their heads.

"By the way, boss, are you making New Year dishes here?" Sasaki had already drunk three glasses of wine in less than a minute, but he didn't see through the intentions of Qingdao and others at all, and his mood was still very happy.

"Yes." Matsushige answered in a muffled voice while making barbecue for the whole audience.

"Then please make one and send it to us later...well, we can take it back ourselves later."

This guy didn't forget anyone, but his consciousness had already begun to blur before the barbecue was served. In Xia Chuan's opinion, if he gave Qingdao another ten minutes, he would definitely be able to get him under the table.

However, he also felt that the guy deserved it and was happy to watch the fun from the side.

"Hey man, the atmosphere in your company is really good. Colleagues have a good relationship with each other, right?" said a regular customer who was also watching the fun nearby.

Qingdao was stunned for a moment when he asked this question, and nodded: "I guess so."

His movements finally slowed down, but Sasaki continued to struggle and actively provoked Mu Yuan, and finally lived up to everyone's expectations and fell asleep under the table after a few minutes.

The atmosphere at the table finally relaxed, and no one urged people to drink anymore. Everyone started by criticizing Sasaki Daisuke, and slowly began to discuss more topics. Although there were ordinary people around, many things could not be discussed freely, but in a place like this, it was much more relaxed than in an office or a shrine.

While eavesdropping on their conversation, Natsukawa helped Yui serve food to each table. Matsujugoro glared at him several times, but in the end he had no choice but to let him do what he wanted.

"Mr. Wulang, I think you might as well hire this guy as well. Isn't he very hardworking?" Someone immediately joked.

Aoki Yui's face turned red again, Matsushige's eyes widened even wider, but Natsukawa laughed along with them.

These guys really enjoy watching the fun and making trouble.

Time passed slowly, and Sugishita, the only one with a family in the Mukuro Organization, left early as usual. Then, for some unknown reason, Aoshima and Kimoto suddenly quarreled again and started drinking. Tachibana Koichi and Inaba Rika tried to persuade them but it was useless. They had to drink several glasses with them. Baimu was still surfing the Internet in the corner, but he never stopped eating. He ate all the food on the plates in front of him quietly, and called Aoki Yui over to order twice.

These guys all seem to have no home, and it seems that they are preparing to celebrate the New Year here... At this time, Matsushige Goro suddenly raised his head and said, "Guests, your New Year dishes are ready."

I really didn't know he had such containers. There were three large wooden boxes filled with all kinds of food in various colors. It looked very gorgeous and smelled very appetizing.

"Eh? It's very beautiful!" Several regular customers came over and exclaimed in amazement. "It should taste good! Songzhong, why didn't you tell me that you could make this before? Otherwise, I would have bought one too!"

"There's so much, can you finish it all by yourself?" Matsushige Goro asked coldly.

"Hey, did we order this thing?" Mu Yuan's mind began to become a little confused.

"It should be what Sasaki ordered for the Nomiya family, right?" said Tachibana Hiroichi.

"What should we do then?" Several guys were a little drunk and didn't want to leave the table and go outside at all.

Kimoto gently kicked Sasaki a few times, but he was so soundly asleep that he had no reaction at all.

"We'll talk about it when we get back." Qingdao said. "Anyway, this thing can be eaten cold."

"I'll take it back." said Rika Inaba.

"Boss, are you a delivery man?" Mu Yuan asked.

Songzhong was about to refuse, but Xiachuan raised his hand and said, "I'll take it for you. Well, if it's not far."

"It's not far, not far away, just where the original Nishioku commercial street was." Mu Yuan said immediately.

The izakaya suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere became a little solemn.

Inaba Rika quietly pulled her hand. At this time, Natsukawa had already covered the wooden box and put it into a big bag: "Yui, lend me your bicycle."

The streets were empty on New Year's Eve, with almost no one around. Xia Chuan rode his bicycle alone like a road racer, only slowing down when he got near the Skeleton Shrine.

He parked his bicycle outside the torii gate and walked inside carrying the wooden box.

Many crows were startled and flew up. Xiachuan stretched out his hand to them, and they perched on the branches of the trees on both sides of the shrine, standing silently, as if welcoming him home.

The spirit rats raised in the shrine soon gathered around as well, also standing up to greet him on both sides of the road.

You have worked hard.

If it wasn't such a special day, it would be difficult for him to walk in directly through the gate like this with such an identity, right? It felt very strange, but also a kind of relief that he had succeeded in committing suicide.

At this moment, he suddenly heard Nomiya Wakana's scream from inside, and then she rushed over with a broom in her hand, looking aggressive.

The rats scattered and fled, and the crows immediately took off into the air and flew away in all directions.

"Who are you? How did you get in?"

From this perspective, Nomiya Wakana is still the same, she hasn't changed at all.

"I'm here to deliver food. A guy named Sasaki ordered it. He said it's at the original site of Nishiokyu shopping street. Is that right?"

"Huh? Is it New Year's dishes? How rare!" Nomiya Wakana immediately became happy and excitedly took him inside.

Eh? Without confirming it first... your vigilance... is really hard to reassure me.

Natsukawa followed her with a sigh, and soon heard the screams of Nomiya Kana and Nomiya Misa, followed by Nomiya Wakana's explanation.

She didn't even make a phone call to verify...but after she said that, Xia Chuan didn't have to prove himself at all.

"Just leave it here." said Kana Nomiya.

Natsukawa knew that Miyaji Nomiya and his wife were actually there as well, and were busy in the kitchen, and Kana Nomiya probably didn't want strangers to see their faces.

But he still wanted to see his shrine as a human.

"Excuse me, is this a newly built shrine? It's almost New Year's Eve, can I pay my respects?"

Nomiya Kana hesitated for a moment. At this time, Nomiya Wakana could not wait to open the food box: "Wow! It's so rich! It smells so good! Big sister, second sister, come and see! Dad! Mom! Come and see!"

"Feel sorry……"

really.

Xia Chuan shook his head.

Although it was mostly due to Nomiya Wakana's own fault, it was also due to his own reasons. This was the only day the family could get together throughout the year.

Xiachuan then nodded to Nomiya Kana and the pet hiding behind her, then turned and left.

"Delicious, delicious!" Nomiya Wakana couldn't wait to grab a shrimp and stuff it into her mouth, and then, as expected, she was hit by her eldest sister and screamed.

Xia Chuan sighed and quickened his pace as he walked out.

Only after his figure disappeared outside the torii gate did Kana Nomiya start walking back.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a lightness on her shoulder, and the spirit pet lying on her shoulder suddenly slipped down. She subconsciously hugged it, but found that it had fallen asleep.

"Danzo?" She was startled, but then she thought of a possibility and couldn't help but get excited.

"Wakana! Wakana! Hurry up and let Boji see if Danzo is going to evolve into a shikigami?!"

happy New Year.

Xia Chuan picked up the bicycle.

Thank you for your hard work. I hope you like this New Year gift.

He rode his bike slowly back all the way, but saw Yui Aoki standing outside the gate of Tsuru Manor, looking over here.

He rushed back faster and stopped suddenly in front of her.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

"You too."

Natsukawa wanted to do something, but Yui's face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly opened the door and ran in.

Hey, I just want to give you a New Year's gift...

Chapter 103 Please Open an Opening

In the distance, brilliant fireworks rose above the Arakawa riverbank, and further away, fireworks also rose above Odaiba.

Although not everyone can see this brilliant and gorgeous scene at home, almost all TV programs broadcast the grand spectacle of the fireworks festival at the moment of New Year's Eve. In order to whitewash the situation and let people temporarily forget what happened in the past few days, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Akasaka have spent a lot of thought and money.

"It's a new year again." A man sighed on the top of a tall building in the port area.

"Your plan has failed again, Huang." A ball of fire suddenly ignited behind him, and a tall man with short horns faintly visible in his curly hair walked out of it. "There has been almost no progress in the past year. Is this the blueprint you described to us?"

"Don't just look at the surface, Lidi." The man shook his head slightly. "Do you think what we did before was in vain? Everything is going according to my plan. Yes, there are some minor twists and turns, but they are harmless and make the situation more interesting and more conducive to our plan."

"I don't understand what you're saying." The monster called Lidi said. "Our patience is limited. If we don't see any obvious progress, don't blame us for doing things our own way."

"Do you have a better choice?" The man named Huang laughed.

"Don't be too conceited." Li Di said. "Huang, you are never the only choice."

Huang laughed again. The next second, he appeared behind Li Di. The long knife in his hand pressed against his back, slightly piercing his skin. "I don't like the way you talk, Li Di. Please take it back."

Li Di's expression changed: "I'm just here to pass on a message, Huang, this is not my own idea."

The long sword suddenly disappeared.

"I understand now that you put it that way." Huang laughed again. "It doesn't matter, they will understand. Only by following me can the aliens on this land regain their former glory and gain liberation and freedom. There is no other way. You just need to trust me and follow my instructions."

#####

It was a rare peaceful New Year for everyone. Perhaps everyone had been exhausted by the previous events, and in the last few days of the New Year holiday, there were almost no unusual incidents worthy of attention in the entire Tokyo.

This made Daisuke Sasaki, who was ready to show his skills, a little disappointed, but everyone else was relieved.

This New Year is particularly special for the Skeleton Shrine. Just a few hours before the New Year's Eve, the chief shrine maiden Nomiya Kana's pet Danzo finally showed signs of evolving into a Shikigami. At noon the next day, Nomiya Misa's pet Yasuko also fell into a sudden sleep.

This was undoubtedly proof that the Nomiya family was favored by the gods. Before leaving, the Nomiya priest and his wife used their remaining energy and, in their former capacity as priests, guided the shrine maidens in performing the grandest New Year's worship for Kairin Daimyojin and Kairi Daimyojin within their capabilities.
