Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

"Hey! Didn't I tell you? I found a job, and it pays pretty well," Xiaoyi said with a smile.

"You've never said that before!" Tsuchimikado Fuyu complained.

"Oh dear, it's just that you're rarely home, Xiaodong. I can't protect you all the time, and it's so boring staying at home all day."

It just so happened that an old friend of mine needed my help, so after that, I often asked her for small jobs.

"An old friend?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu was even more confused. Hadn't Koi just woken up? How did her old friend get in touch with her?

"Hmm... he's the mountain god of this area, someone I've known for a long time. He found out about it after I woke up."

"Those jobs won't be too dangerous, will they?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked worriedly. Hearing Koi's words, Tsuchimikado Fuyu roughly knew what kind of jobs Koi had taken on.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I wouldn't do any dangerous work. It's easy, and the money comes in fast," Xiaoyi said with a smile. "Xiaodong, guess how much I earned this week?"

"One hundred thousand?"

"wrong."

"Three hundred thousand?"

"wrong."

"Five hundred thousand?"

"No, it's three million, isn't that amazing?" Xiaoyi said proudly, "Kikuri, that weakling, was weak before, but now she's turned into a little girl."

But thanks to her, I made a lot of money.

"Wow... amazing." Tsuchimikado Fuyu said in surprise, followed by a feeling of heartache.

While I was still struggling to find a job to earn money, I never imagined that Sister Xiaoyi had already earned so much!

The difference between humans and humans... no, between humans and ghosts... no, between humans and tsukumogami is just too great!

The thought that he had only earned 20,000 yen working at the coffee shop this week made Tsuchimikado Fuyu feel even more depressed.

Actually, it's not surprising that Tsuchimikado Tou is like this. Every day, he looks for ordinary jobs online. How could he possibly post jobs like exorcising demons online?

"Wait a minute, Xiaoyi-jie, where did that mountain god get so much money?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu suddenly realized that the mountain god couldn't possibly have so much money to give to Xiaoyi-jie.

It's important to know that although there are many shrines in Japan, only a few are truly famous. Many shrines have declined due to their remote locations or other various reasons.

There's no shrine in Tsuchimikado Fuyu whose name contains Kikuri, who is also a mountain god, and who is located in Chiba. It's really hard to find a shrine that matches up.

Moreover, these gods eat from faith; the more faith they have, the stronger they become.

For example, Fushimi Inari Shrine is powerful enough to protect the entire Kyoto area from demonic invasion.

So here's the question: a shrine that can afford to spend so much money can't possibly have a weak god!

Even if it can't protect the entire Chiba area, it's more than enough to easily deal with some troublesome little demons and evil spirits in the neighborhood. There's no need to spend money to hire Xiaoyi!

"She has no money whatsoever. Her shrine is so dilapidated that she doesn't even have the money to repair it, and she can't even afford to hire a shrine maiden. How could she possibly have any money?" Xiaoyi mocked.

"It's all thanks to your clever sister. When exorcising demons, I first made them appear to scare the rich people, and then I rescued them. That's how I extorted some money from them."

Tsuchimikado Fuyu's lips twitched. From other people's perspectives, Koi's actions were unethical, but from Tsuchimikado Fuyu's own perspective...

"Sister Xiaoyi, you did a great job. I'll invite you to join next time," said Tsuchimikado Fuyu. "Anyway, they're all rich people. Even if I swindle them out of hundreds of thousands, they won't be angry. Instead, they'll be grateful."

“Xiaodong, you’re right.” Xiaoyi said with a smile, “Actually, I didn’t think of this method at first, but one time I took on a ghost-removal mission. It was said that a rich man’s manor was haunted, and I was asked to help get rid of the evil spirit.”

You wouldn't believe how terrified everyone was when I got there. I thought it was some kind of powerful creature, but it turned out to be just a hungry ghost who had been caught looking for food.

I easily dealt with this brat and was just about to leave when they grabbed me and insisted on giving me money, and it was a million dollars... That's when I came up with this idea.

"But that Kikuri girl is so awful! She actually wanted a commission, and she wanted to take a tenth of it! If I didn't need her to help me find work, I would have beaten her up already."

After hearing Xiaoyi's story, Tsuchimikado Fuyu appeared very calm, but inside he was extremely excited. Finally... finally, he had found a way to make money.

"Xiaodong, why don't you keep this money?" Xiaoyi said, "The money is all in my room, it's just getting in the way there."

"No need, Xiaoyi-jie, you can keep it. The family's daily expenses depend on you." Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile, "I'll get a card tomorrow and deposit the money in it for you. It'll be convenient for you to carry around."

Now that Xiaoyi has an example, Tsuchimikado Fuyu has also found a way to make money, so naturally he doesn't need to take Xiaoyi's money.

Anyway, I don't need to use any money for the time being, so I'll have to rely on Xiaoyi for buying things for the house for now.

"No problem," Xiaoyi readily agreed. "We'll take everyone shopping next time; everyone's rooms are too spacious. Now that we have the money, let's make up for it!"

Xiaoyi doesn't care about money at all. The reason she wants to make money is simply because she accidentally learned that Tsuchimikado Fuyu is short of money and wants to help him.

Chapter Ninety: The White Wolf

Everyone gathered in the courtyard, spread out the picnic blanket, and ate dinner together.

Dinner was made by Tsuchimikado, which was cooked by Xiaoyi and Winette together. There were many different kinds of food, and everyone enjoyed it very much.

In particular, Tsuchimikado no longer has to worry about living expenses, so he is eating even more happily.

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone started playing around in the courtyard, while Tsuchimikado Fuyu called Winette and Gabriel to go to his room in the courtyard.

"So, what you want us to see is how cute the woman you're keeping in your gilded cage is?" Gabriel stared at Tsuchimikado Fuyu with dead fish eyes.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Here's what happened..." Tsuchimikado Fuyu briefly recounted his experience that day, focusing on introducing the girl's background. "So, I wanted you to see if there's any way to resolve this. We can't just leave it here forever!"

"How pitiful," Winette said with heartache. So young to die, and even in death to be bullied—it's too tragic. "Little Jia..."

"Even if that's how you see me, there's nothing I can do about it!" Gabriel shrugged helplessly.

"I can guide souls to the heavens, but for ghosts like her who have obsessions, they can only go to the Tower of Souls after they have fulfilled their wishes and their obsessions have dissipated. Then, the judge will decide whether to send them to heaven or hell."

Of course, if I wait until she fulfills her wish, I can send her directly to the Heavenly Realm. Occasionally, I can send one or two people there, and the Judge won't say anything.

However, if I were to send her to the Heavenly Realm right now, I would be punished.

"Where's Vinette?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked, looking at Vinette.

“Me too,” Winette sighed. “Although Hell is peaceful now, there are many more rules than before. If I force her to go to Hell, she may never be able to reincarnate.”

"So, according to you, we should fulfill her wish first!"

Gabriel and Winette both nodded, and Tsuchimikado Fuyu said helplessly, "Alright, let's leave it at that for now and talk about it again when she wakes up!"

"Let's wait until she wakes up, then Dongjun can call us. I want to help her too." Vinette truly lives up to her reputation as a kind "angel," much better than Gabriel.

"What are you looking at?" Gabriel noticed Tsuchimikado Fuyu looking at her and instinctively felt that Tsuchimikado Fuyu was talking about her behind her back. She quickly glared back and said unhappily.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu was too lazy to pay attention to this useless angel. He nodded to Vinette and said, "No problem, I'll call you later."

The three of them left the room, and Gabriel asked Tsuchimikado Fuyu to go online and play the game. Since they were bored, Tsuchimikado Fuyu agreed and asked when they would hold another offline gathering so he could bring the figurines to everyone.

As for Vinette, she glanced helplessly at the two internet-addicted teenagers and then went to learn cooking from Xiaoyi.

Nine-Lives Cat still pretends to be aloof, but in reality, he arrogantly transforms into a cat demon and sits on a cherry blossom tree.

While the three-tailed fox and the snow woman were sparring on the side, Rikka Takanashi sat with the others and described her chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) personality to everyone, leaving Hotaru and Kaguya completely bewildered.

Time passed quickly, and it was almost nine o'clock. After saying goodbye to everyone, Winette and Sanae Dekomori left, and Rikka Takanashi was also called back by Touka's phone call.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked speechlessly, looking at Gabriel who was still lazing around at home playing games.

He had just asked the guild members about the offline gathering. The guild leader and the other three members were from the same school and had formed a club together, meeting every day.

But Black Cat and I can't do that! So we still need to schedule a time for the second real offline gathering.

When it comes to offline gatherings, everyone is somewhat reluctant, since it's a waste of game time.

However, as soon as they heard that Tsuchimikado Fuyu was going to give away figurines, even though the figurines from the claw machine weren't very expensive, they were still game merchandise and related to their game characters. Plus, they were free, so everyone quickly discussed the time and place for the second gathering.

The time is tomorrow, and the place is the coffee shop where Tsuchimikado Fuyu works.

Since the full-time chef hired by the coffee shop will be arriving tomorrow, the manager won't say anything if Tsuchimikado Fuyu spends a little time having a get-together with everyone.

"Do you think anyone can live in my house right now?" Gabriel rolled her eyes at Tsuchimikado Fuyu and said.

"Who told you not to clean up?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu complained.

"I'll clean up after I'm done playing. It's very simple," Gabriel said nonchalantly, since it was just a matter of one spell.

Although the heavens do not allow the use of magic, as long as it is not seen by anyone, it is as if it has not been used!

"Why don't you tidy up first?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu complained.

"I want you to manage."

"I can't be bothered with it!" Tsuchimikado Fuyu complained, then got up and walked towards the courtyard. "You can play by yourself. I'm going to check on Yingcao and the others."

"Go on, go on," Gabriel said impatiently.

When Tsuchimikado Fuyu arrived in the courtyard, everyone was still playing there. Tsuchimikado Fuyu called everyone over, and the three-tailed fox asked, "Fuyu, are we going to summon shikigami again?"

"Yes, we can summon twice more today," Tsuchimikado Fuyu nodded and said.

Everyone stared at Tsuchimikado Fuyu, hoping that he could summon a shikigami they recognized.

After Tsuchimikado Fuyu finished chanting the incantation, a flash of light appeared, and a white-haired girl holding a bow and arrow appeared before everyone. "White Wolf, here to greet you."

"Wow, Lord White Wolf!" Yingcao exclaimed happily.

"The white wolf obeys your call."

"Hello, White Wolf, my name is Tsuchimikado Fuyu, nice to meet you in the future."

"Hello," the white wolf said earnestly.

"Little Grass, you take the White Wolf to get to know the situation first. I'll summon the last one, and then we can all get to know each other."

Yingcao nodded happily, "Lord White Wolf."

"Do you know me?" White Wolf looked at Yingcao and asked in confusion.

"Yes, when I was bullied by a monster back then, it was Lord White Wolf who saved me," Yingcao explained.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu, who was listening nearby, was speechless. "You're being bullied by a yokai? You're the one bullying the yokai!"

You're the boss! Who would dare bully you?

Of course, Tsuchimikado Fuyu wouldn't say this out loud; it's better to keep this secret to yourself.

"Sorry, I've saved too many people to remember them all," White Wolf said apologetically.

"It's alright, I'm already very happy to see Lord White Wolf again," Yingcao said with a smile.

As Yingcao introduced everyone to Bailang, Tsuchimikado Fuyu chanted the spell again. A flash of light appeared before their eyes, and a coffin appeared first in front of them.
