Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

"But for some reason, I feel a little unhappy!" Looking at Kyoko Kurahashi's happy smile as she left, Koi touched her heart and murmured to herself.

……

The distance from the villa to the new home is not short; it takes almost an hour and a half to drive there.

Fortunately, her new home is only an hour's drive from Sobu High School; otherwise, Kyoko Kurahashi would probably have to consider buying a few helicopters for her daily transportation.

Around noon, Tsuchimikado and his group finally arrived at their destination.

However, unlike the desolate wilderness I saw last time, this time a large wall has been erected around the area.

The wall is a five-meter-high brick wall, covered with expensive tiles on the outside, making it virtually impossible to see what's inside. Moreover, there is a visible camera every few meters above the wall, and countless more hidden ones.

The front features two large iron gates, each four meters wide, capable of accommodating multiple cars entering and exiting simultaneously.

"Isn't this a bit too much?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu complained.

It's fine if the wall is a little high, since it can block the view from the outside, but why install so many cameras?

Given their family's circumstances, why would they be afraid of bad people breaking in?

"It can provide early warnings! And now there are things like drones, so we still need to install surveillance cameras on the exterior walls. What if people get caught on camera while they're playing around?"

"Um...that's true." Tsuchimikado Fuyu thought for a moment and said, "Then what about the surveillance? We can't just let the shikigami watch it, can we?"

"That's alright. Such a large manor definitely needs servants. I'll find some maids to come over; they're all professionals."

"This... isn't quite right..." Tsuchimikado Fuyu said, frowning.

Kyoko Kurahashi said with a smile, "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with it. They've all signed lifetime contracts, and there's never been a problem with their loyalty."

Of course, if Onii-chan is worried about the Kurahashi family, there's another way.

"You mean..." Tsuchimikado Fuyu immediately understood Kurahashi Kyoko's meaning. If that was the case, then he could indeed feel more at ease.

It just takes some time; in the early stages, we'll probably need the help of the shikigami.

“That’s right, that’s exactly what I mean. Anyway, there are so many children in Fantasy City, there are bound to be some who are interested in maids. We can have Konishi and Shizuki teach them then.” Kyoko Kurahashi said with a smile.

"I'll go ask them for their opinions first," Tsuchimikado Fuyu thought for a moment and said, "If that doesn't work, then you'll have to recruit people yourself."

Chapter 1348 New Home

In the suburban manor, Tsuchimikado Fuyu and his group walked through the gate marked "Tsuchimikado Family". The first thing that caught their eye was not a residence, but a winding avenue eight meters wide.

The road is lined with lush trees on both sides, giving it the feel of being in a forest park.

"How was it? Not bad, right?" Kyoko Kurahashi said with a smile.

"Great, very good." Tsuchimikado Fuyu gave a thumbs up, full of praise.

"Hmph! The good stuff is still inside," Kyoko Kurahashi said smugly.

In fact, based on her experience, this courtyard was only decent, but not to the point of making her proud.

Leaving aside the strongholds of the Kurahashi and Tsuchimikado families, the Dekomori and Shichijo families are much larger than this courtyard.

But this courtyard is one she witnessed being built from scratch, so its significance is definitely different.

Moreover, rather than showing off the garden, she was more interested in getting praise from Tsuchimikado Fuyu.

"How do we get in?" Tsuchimikado asked curiously.

"Of course we'll take the car!" Kyoko Kurahashi said with a smile. "Look, here we are!"

Just as Kyoko Kurahashi finished speaking, a luxury car drove up from the front and came to a smooth stop in front of them.

"Young Miss, Young Master Dong, please get in the car." The car door opened, and Cang Qiaoxi, dressed in a butler's uniform, stepped out of the driver's seat, opened the car door, and said respectfully.

"When did Konishi come back?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked curiously.

He had originally called her Miss Nishi, but Kurahashi Nishi felt that it was too offensive, so he told him to just call her "Nishi" like Kurahashi Kyoko.

“Three days ago,” Kurahashi Nishi replied seriously.

"Alright, let's talk as we walk. Honestly, I told you not to be so serious. Onii-chan won't like you if you're like that."

"Kyoko-neechan, don't talk nonsense." Tsuchimikado Fuyu rolled her eyes at Kurahashi Kyoko and said speechlessly.

"I'm so sorry that I can't be liked by Young Master Dong."

"You don't need to apologize in a place like this, and you shouldn't spoil Kyoko-nee so much!"

Tsuchimikado Fuyu was utterly speechless at the sight of this master and servant duo.

For some inexplicable reason, before even offering himself up, he was already thinking of sending his maid to the door first.

The other one is completely devoted to its master, treating everyone else the same and basically ignoring them.

Amidst playful banter, the car started, and under Kurahashi Nishi's slow driving, Tsuchimikado Fuyu began to tour the entire estate.

Entering from the main gate, after turning a corner, you'll come to a three-way intersection. There's a wooden sign next to it, with the following readings from left to right:

"Helipad", "Main residence", "Entertainment".

"Onii-chan, where should we go first?" Kyoko Kurahashi asked with a smile as they stopped at the crossroads.

"Let's go check out the helipad first."

It doesn't really matter where you go, you'll have to visit them all anyway, so there's nothing to worry about, just go in order.

The car drove towards the helipad, and soon everyone emerged from the forest, where they found themselves in a meadow and a small artificial lake.

In the center of the lawn is a standard plastic helicopter landing pad, and behind the landing pad is a large hangar that is right next to the wall and can easily store three helicopters.

Even if they don't buy helicopters, this place can be used for parking, so it's still a good deal.

The Guyu artificial lake is located between the helipad and the main residence. It contains lotus flowers and is surrounded by weeping willows. A two-lane road encircles the entire artificial lake, connecting the main residence and the helipad.

A red wooden bridge runs horizontally through the center of the artificial lake, and at the very center stands a three-story red octagonal pavilion.

"Isn't it a bit too much trouble to get to this pavilion?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu said, frowning.

It looks nice, but it doesn't seem very practical!

To get to the pavilion, you have to walk around half the lake, and you can't drive across the wooden bridge; you have to walk.

"It's alright, actually. It's a good way for everyone to take a walk when they're bored!" Kyoko Kurahashi said nonchalantly.

After all, this pavilion is meant for sightseeing. Even if it's convenient to go there, very few people would sit there for no reason.

Isn't it better to watch TV and play games in your room?

"Of course, if you really want to go and have fun but don't want to walk, it's simple. There are boats on the lake, so you can just row over by yourself. It's also a lot of fun."

“That’s true,” Tsuchimikado Fuyu nodded and said.

It's really fun to occasionally go boating on the lake with one or two girls.

Moreover, this lake is not entirely artificial; it was originally a small natural lake, but it has been slightly modified and expanded.

Moreover, this lake is connected to a small river, so it has flowing water, not stagnant water.

The river even ran through the entire courtyard. It was later renovated and fenced off at both ends to prevent people from crawling in from the river.

Immediately afterwards, they drove along the lake toward the main house.

Soon, passing through the edge of the forest, a huge mansion came into view.

The mansion has a modern European style and only three floors, but it looks much more luxurious than the previous villa.

The main house and the forest are separated by a grassy area, like a park, divided into grassy patches by a road.

Moreover, each patch of grass is quite different. Some are planted with various ornamental trees, some are empty, and some have strange boulders. Although the variety is mixed, it does not look messy.

There was even a small pavilion on one of the grassy areas. Instead of tables and chairs, there were several anime characters inside.

Upon closer inspection, these characters turned out to be from Tsuchimikado Tou, Crab King, and Black Cat novels. According to Kyoko Kurahashi, these characters were specially commissioned and are a one-to-one replica, with plenty of space reserved so that more can be added when new books are released.

There's nothing much to see inside the main house; it has everything the previous villa had, only much more luxurious and larger.

For example, this living room is twice the size of the previous one.

The main house has three floors. The first floor contains the living room, dining room, kitchen, refrigerator, and large bathtub.

The second and third floors are mostly living quarters, and each room has a bathroom, as well as a small living room with a small balcony and a small study.

However, unlike other rooms, there is a large study on one side of the second floor and an art studio on the other side. Both rooms have balconies with views of the distant scenery.

In addition, there are twelve secondary bedrooms on the second floor.

As for the third floor, there is a master bedroom, ten secondary bedrooms, and a large open-air balcony.

It's worth mentioning that the master bedroom has a large bathtub and bed, big enough to accommodate more than ten people.

The main house also has a basement, which contains a small living room, a karaoke room, a movie theater, a storage room, a freezer, a utility room, and some empty rooms whose purpose is yet to be decided.

Chapter 1349 Advice from Rikka and Dekomori

Soon, led by Kyoko Kurahashi, Fuyu Tsuchimikado had toured the entire manor.

Aside from the main house and the helipad, there was only one "entertainment" area left that I didn't visit.

"Entertainment" is divided into two parts: indoor entertainment venues and outdoor entertainment venues.

The indoor entertainment area is not far from the main house, separated by a large outdoor swimming pool. On the side closer to the main house, there are many lounge chairs and tables, partially covered by an eave, where people can sunbathe and enjoy the breeze.

On the side closer to the indoor entertainment area, there were two outdoor ping-pong tables.

The pool water is changed regularly, and the water that is changed flows into the river, which is very convenient.

The indoor casino wasn't small either; it was a bit larger than their previous villa, but smaller than the main house, about the same size as the indoor parking lot next to it.

The indoor casino has three floors in total, two above ground and one below.

The basement is a large storage room divided into sections for "miscellaneous items," "entertainment equipment," "repair tools," and "wine cellar."

The first floor above ground is divided into four areas, each with a different size, from largest to smallest.

The largest area is the indoor stadium, which has two ping-pong tables, two badminton courts, one basketball court, and two billiard tables.

There is also a particularly soundproof practice room, and three walls of the practice room are covered with mirrors, making it very suitable for practicing dance, music, or even martial arts and swordsmanship.

The second area is an indoor children's playground suitable for young children, which includes a small carousel, a soft play area, trampolines, a craft workshop, and a building block playground.

The third area is a small arcade, which has dance machines, arcade games, various racing games, photo booths, and other game equipment.

Of course, claw machines and the like were not placed there.
