Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

"You haven't stopped since just now!"

"Pfft, cough!"

Miyako coughed twice and said, "I am a professionally trained priestess. No matter how funny it is, I will not laugh unless I can't help it."

"."

Gu Yun turned around and said that he didn't want to play with Miyako anymore.

"Don't be angry, Xiao Guyun."

"I apologize to you, sister," Miyako said, clasping her hands together and raising them above her head. "Smith, Masam!"

"I just found out that Huan has such a beautiful younger sister."

Mei listened to the siblings' playful fight and asked Tamaki Iijima about Miyako.

“Miyako was my father’s student.”

"student?"

Mei asked, "So, Ms. Miyako is also a writer?"

She knew that Tamaki Iijima's father was a ghost story author.

So, a writer's student must also be a writer, right?

"Yeah, almost."

Tamaki Iijima: "Miyako and my family are very close. She happened to be visiting me this time, so I brought them along. Is that alright?"

"Of course!"

Mei laughed and said, "In fact, I'd say I'm quite happy to welcome it."

In terms of spiritual perception, Miyako, like Tanigumo, is someone who makes Lady Yukinoshita extremely comfortable.

Mei would love to have more friends like that, so she wouldn't blame Tamaki Iijima.

Moreover, the Iijima family, as one of the organizers of this banquet, is considered a host, just like the Yukinoshita family.

This is why Tamaki Iijima and her group arrived so early, waiting here for the other invited guests to arrive.

"Wow~~~"

Stepping into the villa's hall, Miyako and her family were amazed, witnessing for the first time what a banquet in a wealthy family was like.

"It smells so good, little master!"

"The smell here is amazing!" Miss Tianhu exclaimed excitedly, jumping up and down in the courtyard. "It smells so good!"

The banquet was held in a Western style. In the spacious hall, the buffet dishes exuded an enticing aroma. They were the creations of chefs from Totsuki Culinary Academy.

"Xiao Kong, be careful."

Gu Yun did not stop Kong Huan and the other shikigami, but simply told them to hide themselves and not let outsiders notice them.

"Hi hi~~"

With her master's permission, Miss Tenko jumped out of the courtyard with her shikigami, including the three-tailed fox and Shiro.

They maintain a spiritual state, so even though they are three fox spirits that have become spirits, people without the ability to see ghosts cannot perceive them.

The beings such as Hannya, Momiji, Zashiki-warashi, and Yingcao transcend the material world and are therefore unlikely to attract the attention of ordinary people.

And so, the shikigami moved about the banquet hall as if it were empty, freely taking all kinds of food.

"today."

Tamaki Iijima saw this but didn't think much of it: 'Just pretend you didn't see it.'

It's just some food. Anyway, the preparations today are very thorough, so even Konghuan can eat to his heart's content.

"Children can't drink."

Servants came and went, carrying trays and bringing drinks to the guests. Mei waved her hand and said, "Go and get some juice for Young Master Sheng and Young Master Gu Yun."

"Yes, ma'am!"

After the servant left, a maid quickly brought over freshly squeezed juice.

"Come on, let's go see Xiaoyang."

"Then I'll stay here and help you greet the guests."

"Thanks."

Tamaki Iijima took over Mei's job.

She had only met Haruno twice: once when Mei had just given birth, and the other time was half a month ago.

"Gu Yun, you can't bully Xiao Yangnai."

"Aren't you the one who bullied her?"

Mei said with dissatisfaction, "It's been two years, and you still can't remember my daughter's name. I've told you so many times."

"You wretched woman!"

"Preferring sons to daughters!"

Mei scolded him, and Tamaki Iijima could only laugh awkwardly.

It's because she only received Haruno's name from Hayasaka Nao a month ago.

They're best friends, yet she can't even remember what Mei's daughter's name is.

Terrible, absolutely terrible!

"Hey~~ that's force majeure!"

She was so busy, and Yang Nai was still an infant, so there was absolutely no interaction between them.

Over time, it's normal to forget someone's name.

"And I haven't forgotten everything, I still remember the word 'Nai'."

"You mean Yukino, right?"

Mei continued to complain: "By the way, who is Yukino? We don't have a child with that name in our family."

"Hahahaha~~"

As expected, Tamaki Iijima is the unreliable one: "Well, since we don't have Yukino, let's just have another one."

"Yukino Yukino, hmm, that sounds pretty good."

Tamaki Iijima said confidently, "I've even thought of a name for Haruno's younger sister."

"No need to thank me, that's all!"

After saying that, Tamaki Iijima turned and left, no longer following Mei to the second floor.

"This guy…"

Mei watched Iijima Tamaki's departing figure, hesitating to speak: "Hmph, still the same as always, so unreliable."

"Gu Yun must not follow Huan's example, or she will become a terrible adult."

"Uh, hehehe."

Gu Yun didn't know what to say, so she could only respond with a smile and silence.

The two families continued their friendship from their youth, partly due to the personal bond between Tamaki Iijima and the Yukinoshita couple, who knew each other inside and out.

Another point is that the Yukinoshita family happens to be planning to increase their efforts in the political arena.

As a result, the Iijima family needed a political voice, while the Yukinoshita family wanted financial support.

It just so happens that Tamaki Iijima trusts Mei, and Mei trusts her in return.

The two sides quickly reached an agreement, and with Iijima Tamaki recognizing Haruno as her goddaughter, they prepared to formally establish an alliance.

"Come on, Xiao Guyun."

"Yin-no~~ I brought my Onii-chans~~"

Mei led Gu Yun and Xiao Sheng to the second floor, where they saw Yukinoshita Haruno, dressed in a Japanese twelve-layered kimono and looking like a doll.

"Yang No."

The girl was only two years old and had just learned to walk, but when she saw her mother, she immediately ran over and jumped into Mei's arms.

"Mother."

Yang Nai's voice was sweet and soft, with the tenderness of a young girl, and it was very pleasant to listen to.

"Yeah, very good."

Mei likes Tanigumo very much, but she also dotes on Haruno. She brings her daughter to Tanigumo and Noboru: "Come here, this is Tanigumo-onii-chan, and this is Noboru-onii-chan."

"Well…"

As a child, Yang Nai seemed very shy. Instead of greeting people, she buried her face in her mother's arms.

"Oh dear, that was rather rude of me."

Mei didn't blame her. After all, she was so young, it was normal for her to be shy.

Ah, no.

I remember Gu Yun wasn't like this when he was this age.

Mei remembered attending Gu Yun's birthday party and seeing the child sitting in the courtyard corridor, holding a cup of tea, quietly savoring the misty beauty of spring rain.

That artistic conception, like a painting, was deeply imprinted in Mei's mind, leaving her unable to calm down for a long time.

Especially their conversation afterwards.

Mei treated Gu Yun like a child, but the child's way of speaking was really beyond Mei's expectations.

"Unlike Kotani Yun, Yono is a slow learner."

"what?"

Gu Yun was taken aback and asked, puzzled, "Why do you say that?"

"Because Xiao Gu Yun is a genius."
