In the anime, their emotions can be combined into strange props

Kamishiro Chaei's powerful voice sounded, and everyone's actions had their own purpose, as was Tamiya Yoshiko, and so was Kamishiro Chaei.

The reason why he accepted Tamiya Yoshiko's invitation to join the Man-Eating Snake, took on her commission to deter the Black Organization, and occasionally took action against the Black Organization in recent days, all originated from a deal with Tamiya Yoshiko.

"Crack~"

Tamiya Yoshiko turned the computer chair under her, and without any surprise at what Kamishiro Chaei said, she threw a stack of information onto the desk next to her.

The pile of information was nothing else but a full-body photo of Xia Yan.

This is the information about Xia Yan that Tamiya Yoshiko collected from the perspective of the parasitic beast in Hikigaya under her control, as well as through her own special means.

Although the Quinque armor, Nenki, martial arts schools, etc. witnessed by Hikigaya did not reveal all of Xia Yan's details, and were not even comprehensive enough, his powerful strength was undoubtedly revealed in this record.

Therefore.

"Although I think it's unlikely that you'll agree, I'll still ask."

With a pair of fierce eyes, Tamiya Ryoko silently watched as Kamishiro Chaei stepped forward in the corner, picked up the information, and left resolutely without looking back. She couldn't help but ask with a hint of regret: "Have you ever considered not looking for that young man?"

"...Although my hopelessly foolish daughter deserved death, I have no moral justification to seek revenge on him."

Upon hearing this, Kamishiro Charong paused in his departure, but a resolute voice echoed back, "But it is also a father's duty to stand up for his foolish and disobedient daughter and bury her."

"Thank you for your care during this time, Tamiya Yoshiko. I hope you can fulfill your wish."

"..."

Yoshiko Tamiya stared at the strong figure that gradually disappeared from her sight. Then she turned her chair back silently and pulled up a photo on the screen in front of her.

Looking at the blurry image of a woman with long purple hair captured by the surveillance camera, Tamiya Yoshiko's voice suddenly rang out with a hint of regret: "You have a good father, Kamishiro Rize."

The murderer of his daughter, Kamishiro Rize, as well as the murderer's location and information, in exchange for taking action against the Black Organization - this is the content of the deal between Kamishiro Haruei and Tamiya Yoshiko.

As for Kamishiro Rize, in fact, Tamiya Yoshiko had already discovered her existence a long time ago.

However, considering that the man-eating snake was still in its latent stage at the time, and Rize Kamishiro's gluttonous personality that could not control her appetite, Tamiya Yoshiko felt that she really had difficulty controlling the situation.

So Tamiya Yoshiko chose to give up on her and did not invite her to join her organization.

In the end, the result was already clear. Kamishiro Rize was later killed by the newbie Xia Yan.

However, to be honest, Tamiya Yoshiko feels a little regretful now.

If she had known that Kamishiro Rize had such a father, she might have gone to rescue this ghoul who was causing trouble everywhere.

Tamiya Yoshiko sighed silently, closed her eyes, and prayed for Kamishiro Chaei.

……

……

Return to Nurarihyon's world.

Xia Yan, who didn't know that he had been targeted, saw that they were discussing the real situation of Tamiya Yoshiko but couldn't come up with anything.

So he and Hikigaya put the matter aside for the time being and turned their attention to Hikigaya's undercover identity as a monster.

"Xia Yan, what level of information should I pass on to that feathered fox?"

Hikigaya's face showed a bit of hesitation. His main task 1 had been confirmed, which was to be an undercover agent in Onmyoji and pass on information to Yuyuko's Kyoto monsters. Then, depending on the importance of the information passed on, he would also receive different levels of rewards.

Even after passing on the information, it seems that he can find a way to get some treasures as rewards from the monsters that he can use?

The only problem now is...

There is no doubt that what Hikigaya did was rape.

So how could he not hesitate? If the information he leaked led to many innocent humans being killed by monsters... then he would feel guilty!

"Actually, you can think about it from another angle."

Xia Yan wasn't at all bothered by this. He placed one hand on Hikigaya's shoulder, held up a finger in front of him, and said seriously, "First, let me do the math. Being an undercover agent for the monsters is such a dangerous job, so naturally you're doing a lot of hard work. You should definitely be able to ask for benefits from them. This is the first profit you'll get!"

"And now that you have the identity of an Onmyoji, you can naturally get a copy of the Onmyoji's family magic for free. Whether you learn it or not is another matter, but this can also be considered a second benefit."

Xia Yan raised his fingers from two to three, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face. "Finally, Hanakaiin Hachiman-san, you risked your life and, despite my objections, infiltrated the Kyoto Hundred Demons led by our Hanakaiin family's mortal enemy, Yuyuko, to gather intelligence on the monsters for us."

"For such a dangerous job, if our generation's Hanakaiin Hidemoto doesn't give you a share of the rewards, is he still a human being?!"

"Ah?! So you're planning on having me pass on false information to the monsters... No, if I pass on false information, I won't be able to complete the Lord God's mission, so your real plan should be—"

Hikigaya was stunned at first, but then he understood. Like Kaguya Shinomiya beside him, who unconsciously showed a slightly admiring look, he looked at Xia Yan in front of him as if he were a shady businessman. "I first conveyed the human arrangements to the monsters, and then conveyed the monsters' actions against humans back to the humans."

"In this way, I have undoubtedly given Yuyuko the true information. I can complete the mission, and humans can also change their own arrangements to target the monsters, so no innocent casualties will be caused by my actions. At the same time, I can also get the four rewards for free: the Lord God, the Kyoto monster, the Onmyoji, and the Onmyoji Patriarch."

"To be precise, it could be five or even more."

Xia Yan patted Hikigaya's shoulder with a teachable look on his face, "Looking at Yukino, it seems that the Nura group of monsters who are friendly to humans in Tokyo will come to Kyoto later."

"In this way, you can sell the information about humans and the Nura Group to the Kyoto monsters, and then sell the information about the Kyoto monsters to the Nura Group and humans. Finally, you can sell the information about the Nura Group to humans, and then sell the information about humans to Nura..."

"Wait! Wait a minute... I feel a little dizzy."

Hikigaya held his head, looking a little dizzy. "Anyway, what you're saying is that you want me to go undercover, right?"

"What do you mean by three undercover agents? They are slaves from three families~"

Xia Yan smiled and said, "But that's enough joking for now. Don't get dizzy, we have to go to the meeting."

Chapter 172: The scattered Hanakaiyuan family

The feud between the Kyoto monster, Kitsune Yugeki, the human Onmyoji, Hidemoto Hanakaiin, and Nurarihyon of the Tokyo monster camp can be said to have originated four hundred years ago.

The former lord of demons and monsters, Yuyuko, who was entrenched in the Kyoto area, which was still the capital at the time, and collected the raw livers of young human women.

It can be said that it was an accident. She was killed by Nurarihyon with the demon sword and the 13th generation Hanakaiin Hidemoto with the shikigami Pojun. Humans and monsters joined forces to kill her.

On the other hand, Yuyuko is a special reincarnation monster that will constantly possess human children with excellent qualifications and take over their bodies. When the possessed body dies, she will be reincarnated into the next human being.

With each reincarnation, Yuyuko's strength and tail will increase, just as the name suggests: it is an undead fox demon that constantly replaces human bodies like feathers - what could be more desperate than having a powerful mortal enemy?

Of course, this mortal enemy also possesses a certain immortality, making him extremely difficult to kill!

Now, the man and the demon who defeated Yuyuko back then are either dead or old, so their descendants, the Nura clan and the Hanakaiin family, four hundred years later, have to face the revenge of this fox.

And what Yuyuko did back then was not just that. Before her human body died, she took the opportunity to place a fox curse on the bloodlines of Hanakaiin Hidemoto and Nurarihyon.

Let’s not talk about the Nura clan for now. The consequence of the curse on Hanakaiin’s bloodline is that as the direct descendant of Hanakaiin Hidemoto, the eldest son born will very likely die young, and the surviving descendants will mostly become extremely mediocre in talent and ability as Onmyoji.

For this reason, in order to ensure the continuation of the family and the strength of the head of the family, each generation of the Hanakaiin family would introduce a talented descendant of a branch family as an adopted son, and then inherit the title of "Hakaiin Hidemoto" as the head of the family.

In this way, with the children of the branch family being adopted by the main family and becoming the head of the family, the Hanakaiin main family and the branch family were able to continue as a whole organization.

But the price to pay for this...

"Kyoto is surrounded by a large number of youkai and their [fear], and the 13th generation's spiral seal is also trembling."

In a spacious Japanese-style room, an old man wearing a solemn kari-goro with a white and beige outer coat, with a bald head and a thick white beard sat in the center of the room. He was the 27th generation Hanakaiin Hidemoto.

Around him, there were a large number of seats spreading out in circles. According to their identities and status, they were filled with the heads of various branches, elders, and other Hanakaiin Onmyojis.

People like Xia Yan and Hikigaya who only drew ordinary Onmyoji identities sat in the more peripheral areas.

The current generation's Hanakaiin Hidemoto solemnly stated his conclusion, "From all indications, our irreconcilable hatred and mortal enemy, Yuyuko, has undoubtedly completed her reincarnation. Her next move will likely be to remove the spiral seal set in Kyoto by the 13th generation!"

As soon as the head of the family finished speaking, the entire Japanese-style room became noisy in an instant.

"Is the information accurate? Patriarch!"

"If the news is correct, then the first person to face the feathered fox is Shuuji, who is in charge of the Eighth Seal, Fushimi Inari Taisha."

"Hayuko, the grudge from four hundred years ago really doesn't make sense."

"Should we send someone to reinforce the Eighth Seal?"

"Backup? Who's going? You? Anyway, don't come to me. My Masashi is responsible for the third seal."

"Similarly, our family hasn't produced any exceptionally talented children in the last two generations. Even if we go, I'm afraid we won't be able to help much. And who knows, maybe the clan members of the Eighth Seal alone can handle that feathered fox."

"That's right. After all, our Hanakaiin family has developed for four hundred years longer. We have now entered the era of hot weapons from the cold weapons era. However, that fox has been stuck in the same place for hundreds of years because of the seal of the 13th generation. Maybe her strength can no longer keep up with us?"

Laxity, arguments, mutual shirking of responsibility, not caring about anything until it's too late, and the arrogance that has grown from not encountering any powerful monsters in four hundred years of peace...

After hearing the speeches of the heads of the branch families in the inner circle, Xia Yan and the other two couldn't help but shake their heads. This was the unbearable drawback of the Huakaiyuan family constantly adopting people from the branch families to inherit the position of head of the family.

The power has been dispersed and the dignity of the Hanakaiin family has disappeared - after all, every branch family has the opportunity to sit in the position of [Xiu Yuan]. In this case, why should I respect you and follow your orders completely?

Without a qualified leader, this is the picture that emerges.

Even though they were facing a powerful enemy, they were all so lax and had no sense of tension. They were even unwilling to support their fellow Hanakaiin family members, for fear of losing the talented Onmyoji of their own branch.

Under such circumstances, the meeting naturally ended in a bad mood, leaving Hanakaiin Hideu and his group, who were responsible for the eighth seal, to face Yuyuko alone.

"Wow~"

After everyone else had left and most of them had left, Xia Yan and Hikigaya and the others got up and left.

"What do you think, Kaguya?"

Walking leisurely in the corridor of the Huakaiyuan family courtyard, Xia Yan spread out the "circle" of his mental energy to sense the surroundings, and asked casually to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

"A pile of loose sand."

Following behind Xia Yan, Shinomiya Kaguya criticized mercilessly, not wasting a word on these disgusting old guys who looked so old and disgusting. She asked instead:

"We now have two bargaining chips. One is the location of the so-called Feathered Fox's current base camp, and the other is the time when they will launch their attack. What exactly do you plan to do next?"

"Kaguya, your identity here is an ordinary Onmyoji of the Aika-ryu branch of the Hanakaiin family. You'd better play this role well and use it to check their collection of Onmyoji books."

Xia Yan's answer was irrelevant. He casually tossed a student ID card to Kaguya Shinomiya behind him and said, "The Yin-Yang technique that this branch family specializes in seems to be the use of Shikigami, which happens to be the type of magic that the Hanakaiin family is best at. It's quite valuable. You should hurry up and learn as much as you can."

"Then Hachiman, since you're here as an undercover agent, the Kyoto youkai should have explained your identity and relationships in Hanakai-in in detail, right? ——Also, because of Hanakai-in's identity, it's best not to call him by his original surname while we're in this world, to avoid arousing suspicion."

"Ok."

Hikigaya nodded. "According to Ao Jizo, you and I, Xia Yan, are both Onmyoji from the Ido Roku branch of the clan, and we're pretty good friends. It was through this relationship that I accidentally found you two."

Ido Roryu...

Xia Yan recalled his memories of the anime Nura: Nura for a long time in his previous life. Combined with the information he had actually looked up at the Hanakaiin family, he finally remembered what the Yin-Yang magic school of this branch family was.

It seems like a spell that injects some yang energy directly into the body, turning oneself into a muscular monster?

As for the effect?

Anyway, Xia Yan only remembered that the old man, the head of the Ido family, was killed instantly by a casual blow from Yuyuko after taking drugs and his clothes burst, turning into a muscular old man...

Thinking of this, Xia Yan shook his head in disgust. Then, seeing that he had arrived at his destination, he instructed the two people behind him: "Wait here for a moment. I'm going to talk to this generation's Hanakaiin Xiuyuan."

"Wow~"

That's right, although the disorganized meeting organized by this generation of Xiu Yuan failed to come up with any countermeasures to deal with Yuyuko due to personal rights and prestige.

But it was obvious that he was not stupid enough to be so optimistic as to think that Yuyuko was vulnerable just because of everyone's hype, so he turned around and held a small upper-level meeting somewhere else, which could only be attended by the heads of Onmyoji families or strong people who were responsible for the seal.

Therefore, when Xia Yan opened the door of this Japanese-style room, Hanakaiin Hidemoto couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he also asked calmly: "I remember you are... Xia Yanjun of Ido Roryu, right? What can I do for you?"

Hearing this, Xia Yan did not answer him for the time being, but instead looked at the two young men standing behind him.

One of them is Hanakaiin Akifusa, who is wearing a hunting robe with three red eyes, has silver hair and red eyes, and a gentle appearance. He is the person in charge of the First Seal and currently the strongest person in the Hanakaiin family;

The other was a young man dressed in black, with short black hair and a somewhat sinister temperament - he was the rare and talented Onmyoji of the family, Hanakaiin Ryuji.

After quickly sizing the two up, Xia Yan, his expression filled with drama, said anxiously, "Master, I have something urgent to report. It's about Yuyi Fox, and it's a matter of great importance! But... it might be a little inconvenient for so many people to know!"

"Hmm?"

Xia Yan's declaration to clear the room of others naturally attracted the attention of everyone present. However, the old patriarch thought for a while and said decisively:

"Akifusa, Ryuji, and everyone else please leave for now."

……

……

"How's the situation?"

In the corridor near the main meeting room, Hikigaya and Shinomiya Kaguya sat on the wooden railing, looking at each other in silence, which made Hikigaya almost feel embarrassed.

Finally, when they saw Xia Yan opening the door of the conference room and walking towards them, Hikigaya couldn't help but ask.

"It's alright. I told the old man who heads the family that one of my men, with his special identity, had infiltrated Yuyuko's Hundred Demons as an undercover agent. I only told him that Yuyuko would attack the Eighth Seal tomorrow night, and then I used that information to ask for more information on Onmyoji."

Xia Yan casually tossed a badge to Hikigaya and reminded him, "This is the token that allows you to enter and exit our family's Onmyoji library. Of course, if Yuyuko doesn't attack tomorrow night, or if the physical characteristics I told that old man about Yuyuko don't match, then let alone whether the token will be taken back, we might even have to stage the "Escape from Hanakaiin" scene!"

"Don't worry, this information should be correct. After all, there's no need for them to deceive me with such a well-known thing... probably."
