Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

"Nao-nee, could you please see Uncle and Nanami-san off for me?"

Uncle Daomo never expected things to develop this way. Gu Yun disregarded past grievances and was even willing to work with him to defeat the demons.

No, this is no longer a case of extermination.

This is to take care of him!

"uncle."

After leaving the Iijima family home, Uncle Domo and Nanami were waiting for the bus at the station: "That young gentleman is really a good person. Not only did he not blame us, but he was also willing to team up with you, Uncle."

"Yes, we were really well taken care of."

Uncle Domo truly admires the Iijima family. Just as it's said in the community, Snail Teacher is a highly respected senior who has been kind to countless people without seeking anything in return.

That successor of the snail master truly lives up to his reputation and is admirable.

"Although that person is young, the exorcism circle has always valued virtue and ability, with virtue taking precedence over strength."

Uncle Daomo said, "With the young master's abilities, even a high-level demon wouldn't be a match for the Oni Princess (Kumiko) under his command."

There's no need to cooperate with such a powerful folk expert.

In Uncle Daomo's opinion, Gu Yun probably did this because he didn't want Gu Yun to take any risks and die a violent death one day, leaving Nana an orphan.

Giving money directly suggests that the relationship between the two parties is clearly not at that level.

Therefore, the only thing we can do is to make things easier for him at work.

"it is as expected."

Nanami recalled Gu Yun's words and actions. Although he was a few years younger than her, his demeanor made the girl feel a gap as vast as an insurmountable chasm.

The two silently kept Gu Yun's kindness in their hearts, hoping that one day they could do something for him.

"They should understand what I mean, right?"

Inside the bedroom, Gu Yun summoned his shikigami and said, "Uncle's skills are indeed too mediocre."

He genuinely wanted to cooperate with Uncle Daomo, using the latter's channels for accepting commissions in the industry to help him handle unnecessary miscellaneous matters, leaving only the fighting part to himself.

In this way, Uncle Daomo will no longer be tempted to risk his life if he discovers that the commission involves lower-level demons.

If you already have a powerful backer, taking risks isn't just being reckless, it's being foolish.

Uncle Domo is no fool; he's quite shrewd.

"Master."

"What's wrong, Nao-nee?"

Gu Yun saw the document in Hayasaka Nao's hand. He took it and glanced at it, discovering it was a loan agreement.

"what is this?"

Gu Yun found it strange. He remembered that he didn't seem to get involved in the Iijima family's business, so why give him this?

"This is the amount of the loan from the Momozono family to a company under the name of Hiratsuka."

In fact, Nao Hayasaka had already begun investigating the two of them when they were traveling with Tamaki Iijima.

All the information, including Domo and Nanami's family background, financial situation, recent activities, and who they met, was clearly laid out in front of Hayasaka Nao.

"Um, that's a little scary, Nao-nee."

Gu Yun made a comment, then flipped to the end of the document and glanced at the amount that Nanami's father owed the Hiratsuka family.

how to say

It wasn't much; at least for Gu Yun, it wasn't even a fraction of his allowance.

"Do they need my help?"

Given the relationship between the Iijima and Hiratsuka families, this kind of thing could be resolved with just a few words.

Besides, it's really not much money; Nao Hayasaka could easily pay it back for them.

"What I mean is, I'm not helping."

Gu Yun's attitude was very clear: this matter had gone too far.

There was nothing wrong with cooperating with Uncle Daomo, but Gu Yun felt it was somewhat insulting to help him pay back the money.

Many people might think this is an insult, so please insult me ​​even more!

But Doma and Nanami, they have dignity.

“But what you mean, Madam,” Hayasaka Nao lowered her head slightly, “is that you want to use this opportunity to build a good relationship with the Ashiya family.”

"Has it already been returned?"

"not yet."

Nao Hayasaka came to ask on behalf of Tamaki Iijima. Gu Yun thought for a moment and said, "Don't touch this money yet. Have your mother call Uncle Hiratsuka and ask him to stop sending his men to cause them any more trouble."

"I understand."

It's certainly insulting that money is involved, but helping Uncle Domo and Nanami fend off the yakuza's debt collectors and giving them more time is a good thing.

This makes them realize who is protecting them and who their backer is.

"Isn't this great?"

In another room, Iijima Tamaki listened to Hayasaka Nao's report and was very satisfied with Gu Yun's assessment: "It seems that Gu Yun wants to subdue them and make them work for the Iijima family."

“He’s much smarter than me,” his mother said happily. “He knows that just throwing money at someone isn’t enough; you have to put your heart into it.”

Of course, this is not to say that spending money is not as good as putting your heart into it.

My mother meant that money should be spent on things that resonate with the recipient to be most effective.

"Anything else?"

Iijima Tamaki noticed that Hayasaka Nao hadn't left, knowing she still had something to report.

"That person is here again."

"Tsk."

The mother frowned and said with displeasure, "I remember I made myself very clear last time, didn't I?"

The two were talking about a man named Ayanokouji Atsuomi.

The other party had previously visited the Iijima family and proposed a very strange project, but the mother was not interested in it and therefore rejected the proposal.

"not see?"

"Ugh"

Tamaki Iijima sighed helplessly. Although she was rich, her roots in Japan were not deep enough.

Even though Ayanokouji Atsuomi was just an ordinary member of parliament, she couldn't go too far, since he had a faction behind him, and she could easily anger the big shots at the top if she wasn't careful.

"Troublesome guy."

Tamaki Iijima raised her hand: "Let him in, Nao."

"Ok."

Gu Yun didn't care what his mother and Hayasaka Nao were discussing.

He had an agreement with Tamaki Iijima that he would not be involved in the work of the Iijima Group until he came of age, and even his mother could not force him to do things he did not like.

"Illusory?"

Miss Tianhu has returned, bringing with her Yuyao's reply.

"I've already contacted Yuyao."

Miss Tianhu sighed and said helplessly, "Just as I guessed, he doesn't believe me at all."

"You don't even believe you? Didn't you say your relationship was alright?"

Gu Yun didn't want to subdue Yu Yao; he just wanted to clear up the misunderstanding, nothing more.

“He probably thinks that what I said to him was also at your behest,” Konghuan said, “using the power of words to manipulate me into luring him into your trap.”

"..."

Gu Yun sighed, "I never gave you any orders."

Moreover, the power of words is not such a convenient thing; it can only control the general direction and cannot change a person's thoughts and feelings at all.

At most, it would prevent Kong Huan from speaking.

But to make Konghuan say whatever he wants is clearly beyond the limits of the power of words.

"If this continues, won't the misunderstanding only deepen?"

Yu Yao didn't come, nor did he believe it, and he even thought that Gu Yun was manipulating Kong Huan's words and actions.

The other party enslaved his sister and forced her to deal with him.

Perhaps ordinary spells cannot achieve this.

But Gu Yun is a member of the Iijima family, and even Yu Yao has heard of the snail's divine control technique.

This is a forbidden technique, a truly terrifying one.

Who can guarantee that Kong Huan, bound by the Divine Control Technique, won't have his mind manipulated?

"I…"

Gu Yun was stunned. You're forcibly controlling my mind!

"So why is he targeting me?"

Gu Yun said speechlessly, "Judging from his tone, why does he seem to think I'm a bad person and not trustworthy?"

He remembered that his grandfather had a very good reputation in the exorcism circle.

"this."

Kong Huan was also puzzled: "I haven't seen him for five hundred years, and I don't know why he has become so suspicious."

"Well, there's nothing we can do about that!"

If one side wants to clarify but the other side won't listen, what's the use of Gu Yun's sincerity?
