Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Iijima Wako smiled gently; he was a very kind old man with a benevolent face.

Moreover, the old man treated Iijima Tamaki very kindly, without any of the sense of distance that Gu Yun's mother had mentioned.

Gu Yun had seen Iijima snails once when he was very young.

"grandfather."

"Ah, Xiao Gu Yun, long time no see! Want some candy?"

Iijima snail took out some candy and kindly handed it to Gu Yun.

It was at this moment that he saw Xiaobai, which Gu Yun was holding in his arms.

“This little guy,” Iijima Gosho, “is the shikigami Kotani Kumo that Tamaki mentioned on the phone?”

"Father."

Iijima Tamaki sighed, looking troubled. "Not only can Gu Yun see monsters, but now he's even taking in monsters of unknown origin as his shikigami."

It's no wonder that Tamaki Iijima is anxious, because her youngest brother, Kai Iijima, is still missing.

Like Tanigumo, Iijima Kai possesses extremely strong spiritual power and the ability to subdue shikigami.

Of all of Iijima Gosho's offspring, he was the one who most resembled the old man.

However, due to his powerful spiritual energy, Iijima Kai disappeared.

The deterioration of Tamaki Iijima's relationship with her father was largely due to her younger brother's situation.

She always believed that it was the Iijima family's spiritual curse that harmed her younger brother.

"Have we already reached this stage?"

Iijima snail patted Tanigumo's head: "You're really amazing, little Tanigumo."

"Aha?"

"Old man, you better explain yourself!"

Tamaki Iijima grabbed her father's collar: "Do you know how I've been these past few days? I've been on tenterhooks every day, afraid that something will suddenly appear and steal this child away!"

"Ara~~"

Just then, Gu Yun saw an old woman come out.

She covered her mouth, seemingly chuckling, "It's been so long, but Huan and Lian's relationship is still so good."

"Mother."

"Long time no see, Huan."

This old woman's name is Iijima Yaeko. She is Iijima Tamaki's mother and Tanigumo's maternal grandmother.

"Xiao Gu Yun, have you eaten properly?"

The Iijima family is very gentle, and they are especially caring towards their family members.

"grandmother."

"Uh-huh."

Yaeko nodded, then bent down and asked, "What do you like to eat? Grandma will make it for you."

"Meat."

"Gu Yun!"

Iijima Tamaki was somewhat dissatisfied with how closely Tanigumo was getting along with this family.

She just wanted her father to solve Gu Yun's problem so she could take her child and run away far away.

However, the Iijima family clearly wouldn't let Tamaki Iijima have her way.

Gu Yun is the eldest grandson of the third generation of the Iijima family. Since he also bears the surname Iijima, and with his uncles having no interest in continuing the family business, Gu Yun can be considered the sole heir of the Iijima family.

However, Tamaki Iijima owns her own company.

Taking advantage of the economic crisis to enter high society, her career is booming and her future is promising. She doesn't care about the insignificant assets of the Iijima family at all.

"Old man, what exactly are you trying to do?"

As Gu Yun disappeared into the entrance hall, Iijima Tamaki looked at her father with reproach: "Do you want Gu Yun to become the second Kai?"

"ring."

Iijima Wako shook her head and said, "That kid is much more capable than Kai."

"what?"

Seeing that Iijima Tamaki was puzzled, Iijima Snail said in a deep voice, "The moment I saw that child, I sensed his spiritual power."

"Gu Yun's situation is very special."

“Generally speaking, the awakening of spiritual power begins in childhood,” said Iijima Gosho, “but Gu Yun awakened the ability to see ghosts at the age of 8.”

Despite waking up so late, Gu Yun's spiritual power was exceptionally vast in Iijima's perception.

"So young, yet possessing such immense spiritual power."

Before his daughter could nod, the old man said, "He is destined to walk that path."

“Distance does not mean safety.”

“Only by possessing great power,” Iijima Gosho said firmly, “can Gu Yun protect himself.”

After hearing these words, Tamaki Iijima was stunned.

She truly hadn't expected her father to give Gu Yun such high praise.

"Give him to me."

Iijima Gosho's expression was extremely serious: "At least until I die, I will never let any demon harm my beloved grandson!"

Chapter 2 Iijima Snails

Iijima and Yaeko had four sons and three daughters.

Aside from her youngest son who died young, she had three sons and three daughters.

The Iijima Kai that Iijima Tamaki mentioned was the third son, and also the child who inherited the most spiritual power from his father.

However, he had been missing for many years, and his family believed he was dead.

Furthermore, the snail's eldest and second sons did not live with their father; they went out to work and eventually chose to live in Tokyo.

The remaining three daughters, the eldest of whom was named Iijima Hiro, changed her surname to Hirose after getting married.

In Japan, it is perfectly normal for women to take their husbands' surnames after marriage.

As the second daughter, Tamaki Iijima was determined not to marry, but unexpectedly gave birth to Tanigumo, who is also the oldest boy in the third generation.

As for the youngest sister, Iijima Ken, she did not get married. Instead, her father arranged for her to marry a man who lived with him.

"Hello, Uncle."

"Gu Yunjiang, it's been a long time."

Takahiro Iijima was the son-in-law of the Iijima family.

His original surname was Mikami. He was kind-hearted and dutiful, and was well-liked by Iijima Gosho.

"Brother Gu Yun".

The girl who came out of the house was named Tsukasa Iijima. She was the daughter of the eldest son of the snail, and also Tanigumo's cousin.

Tsukasa is 6 years old this year, and because of her spiritual power issues, she was fostered by the Iijima family.

However, her spiritual power is relatively weak, similar to that of Gu Yun's mother.

"Xiao Si, it's been a long time."

The Iijima siblings had a very close relationship and often visited each other.

This also made Gu Yun extremely familiar with the third generation of the Iijima family.

"Ok?"

It was at this moment that Gu Yun saw a small figure hiding behind Iijima snail.

The child was quite young, probably only 4 or 5 years old.

"Oh my, is this the first time Kotani has met Ritsu?"

“Ritsu, this is your Tanigumo Onii-chan.”

Yaeko gently introduced the young girl in front of Gu Yun.

She was wearing a pink kimono and had her hair styled in a bob, looking like a Japanese doll.

"Lu, my sister?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

As soon as Gu Yun finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

"Gu Yunjiang is not a younger sister, but a younger brother."

"Hey?"

Gu Yun was stunned for a moment, wondering what was going on.

younger brother.

Wearing women's clothes?

He's already a cross-dressing master at such a young age; what will he be like when he grows up?

However, Gu Yun quickly figured out the cause and effect.

It turns out that Ritsu Iijima, like Tanigumo, also inherited her grandfather's spiritual power, giving her the ability to see demons and monsters.

Therefore, in order to protect her grandson from demons, Iijima made him wear women's clothing from a young age to avoid being spied on by demons.

"Is this okay?"

Gu Yun was stunned; she had never expected such a bizarre move.
