Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

The three-tailed fox is a demon, yet it can control its demonic power.

Therefore, she can decide whether or not to appear before humans, a power possessed only by demons and spirit beings.

"No need, Sister Fox."

Gu Yun said, "In our family, only I, my grandfather, Lu, and Xiao Si have the ability to see ghosts. The others don't know about the existence of monsters."

There's nothing wrong with that.

Ignorance can also be a form of happiness, and it can even reduce the probability of encountering paranormal events.

"My concubine understands."

In the following days, Gu Yun's life did not change because of the arrival of the three-tailed fox; he continued to learn various spells from his grandfather.

The three-tailed fox did not appear in the Iijima family's sight. She usually stayed in Gu Yun's shadow and would only appear when her master needed her.

"Master, teacher."

That day, Grandpa was writing furiously in his study, while Gu Yun silently looked at ancient books beside him.

My grandfather was a horror novelist.

In Japan, people usually respectfully address creators as "Teacher So-and-so," which is also how the three-tailed fox addresses its grandfather.

"Gentlemen, it's time to eat."

Today, Grandma and Aunt took Si and Lu out for a spring outing to enjoy the flowers.

Gu Yun was so engrossed in studying magic that he did not go out.

Grandpa, on the other hand, just happened to be meeting the deadline and couldn't get away.

"Before we knew it, it had gotten to this point."

Grandpa smiled and looked at Gu Yun: "Little Gu Yun, let's try the Three-Tailed Fox's cooking."

Grandma and the others originally planned to prepare lunch in advance.

However, the three-tailed fox said that she would cook today's meal.

"Please, both of you, have a meal."

In the living room, the three-tailed fox placed dishes in front of Gu Yun and his grandfather.

Gu Yun lowered her head and saw various exquisite colors on the table, like blooming flowers.

The meal was divided into two parts, one of which was served separately to Gu Yun and his grandfather.

In addition, there is also something placed in the middle of the table for the grandfather and grandson to enjoy together.

The two had different main dishes; Gu Yun's was Japanese-style fried pork cutlet rice.

The pork chop rice, with its tenderloin fried to a golden brown and sprinkled with dark sauce, is incredibly tempting.

As a traditional carnivore, Gu Yun said that the three-tailed fox truly lives up to its reputation as a demon fox, understanding human nature all too well.

"Is mine ochazuke (rice with tea)?"

Grandpa's staple food is a bowl of rice soaked in tea, which is very suitable for an elderly person like him.

"Rustling sound".

Gu Yun first drank a cup of miso.

In Japan, miso is an indispensable part of the meal.

Gu Yun wasn't used to it at first, but now, eight years later, he's gotten used to the taste of miso soup.

“Delicious!”

However, the miso soup prepared by the three-tailed fox really caught Gu Yun's eye.

"How enviable, Xiao Gu Yun."

Grandpa laughed and said, "This is the first time I've ever heard of a shikigami possessing such skills."

"Compared to the three-tailed fox, Qinglan is like a glutton."

"He can't do anything except eat."

Qinglan, who was inexplicably caught in the crossfire, cried herself to sleep in the bathroom.

In comparison, the three-tailed fox from Gu Yun's family is simply amazing.

"Oh my, Grandpa praised me!" The three-tailed fox cupped her face, her fox ears twitching happily. "Let's try some tempura again."

"This is my masterpiece."

Three-Tailed Fox prepared a plate of fried shrimp tempura for each of them, so that even elderly people who don't like greasy food can enjoy its deliciousness.

Japanese cuisine emphasizes that all the deliciousness lies in a single bite.

Therefore, apart from the main course, Three-Tailed Fox prepares only a small amount of each dish, perfectly embodying the balance between simplicity and deliciousness.

"There's also sushi and sashimi."

Grandpa picked up a piece of sashimi and put it in his mouth, savoring the delicious taste. He exclaimed, "I can experience the taste of ryokan at home. I'm so envious!"

"Qinglan can't cook?"

When Qinglan was mentioned, Grandpa was heartbroken again: "All he does is eat."

"Ok."

The grandfather and grandson stopped talking and focused all their energy on savoring the food.

"Knock knock knock."

Just as the grandfather and grandson were enjoying the delicious food, completely absorbed in the moment, a knock came from the entrance hall.

"Grandma and the others are back?"

"It can't be that fast, it's only noon now."

Grandpa was also puzzled, but he still prepared to get up. He glanced at the courtyard outside and said, "It shouldn't be raining. Are they guests?"

"Please enjoy, master and teacher."

"I gonna go see."

The three-tailed fox retracted her ears and tail, transformed into the appearance of a human woman, and went outside.

"Ah, thank you for your hard work, Miss Three-Tailed Fox."

The grandfather and grandson were halfway through their meal when someone came to visit. They couldn't very well welcome the visitor in, as it would be too impolite to leave the table in such a mess.

“If he’s a guest,” Grandpa said, “please have Fox-chan take him to the tea room.”

"understood."

The three-tailed fox walked gracefully with light, quick steps into the entrance hall.

The three-tailed fox opened the door and frowned slightly.

"You, hello."

"Excuse me, is this Master Iijima's house?"

"We urgently need to speak with Master Iijima, please help us!"

The visitors were a man and a woman, and they had two children with them. One was a girl, about seven or eight years old, who was about the same age as Gu Yun.

The other was being held in the woman's arms; it was still an infant in swaddling clothes.

"Aha…"

The three-tailed fox murmured a sigh.

Then, the three-tailed fox suddenly raised its eyes, a sharp glint of crimson flashing in its gaze.

It should have been noon, but the sky was strangely replaced by a blue curtain, like a gloomy dawn, eerie and sinister.

"roll."

Suddenly, the three-tailed fox stared at the figure crouching behind the man.

The other party was blurry, with pale skin covered with purple blood vessels; it was clearly a deformed, vengeful ghost.

"Boom~~"

"ah!!!"

With a roar of demonic power, and amidst the shrill scream of the evil spirit, the three-tailed fox instantly vanquished it.

"Humph!"

The three-tailed fox had no idea what kind of evil spirit it was.

But daring to cause trouble at the Iijima residence is simply courting death!

"What was that sound just now?"

"A monster! There really is a monster!"

The family was terrified by the ghostly scream, but fortunately, the three-tailed fox's bewitching magic calmed them down.

In Japan, evil spirits are a different kind of ghost.

Evil spirits can be destroyed, but if the curse is not broken, they will be reborn again and again.

In short, the three-tailed fox banished the evil spirit back to its ghostly state, allowing it to return to its birthplace.

However, because the problem wasn't truly solved, the ghost will turn into an evil spirit and continue to haunt the family.

“Four guests, the thing that was bothering you has been driven away by me.”

"Please come to the tea room to rest for a while."

“Teacher Iijima and the young master are having their meal,” the three-tailed fox said with an elegant and gentle smile. “They will be here shortly.”

"Yes! Thank you for your help, madam!"

The three-tailed fox's move truly shocked the Takanashi family.

This also made them realize the extraordinary nature of the Iijima family.

Very good!
