Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

"Oh, it was for a gift..."

Gu Yun couldn't help but chuckle, but still took out the protective charm he had prepared beforehand: "Here, this is for you."

"Amulet?"

“Ah, it was obtained from a shrine in the countryside, it’s especially effective,” Gu Yun said. “You should carry it with you at all times.”

"Hi Hi!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka snatched the amulet. Although it was no different from the ones bought at ordinary shrines, she treasured it because it was a gift from Gu Yun.

It's hard to imagine that the legendary Jing Ke'ai was such an energetic little girl when she was young.

Having lived in this world for eight years, my memories of my past life have become somewhat hazy.

However, Gu Yun still remembers the name Hiratsuka Shizuka.

My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong As Expected, also known as Spring Romance or Self-Destruction is Art.

Hiratsuka Shizuka is the teacher of the main characters in Haruka, and an older single woman who can't get married.

"Snapped."

Thinking of this, Gu Yun couldn't help but pat the girl on the shoulder, who looked puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"

"nothing."

Gu Yun thought to himself, 'Don't worry, Xiao Jing, if you're still unmarried by 28, I'll reluctantly take you in.'

"..."

For some reason, Hiratsuka Shizuka felt a strange unease in the way she looked at Tanigumo: "Are you thinking about something rude?"

"how come!"

Gu Yun smiled brightly.

"So suspicious."

Hiratsuka Shizuka pouted: "Well, never mind, let's go to my house, Taniguchi. I've learned a new move, I'm sure I can beat you this time!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka comes from a family of yakuza practitioners and has studied karate and kendo since childhood. After learning that Gu Yun had also enrolled in similar classes, she kept pestering him to demonstrate her skills.

Unfortunately, Hiratsuka Shizuka never won.

"Well, maybe we shouldn't."

Gu Yun scratched his cheek helplessly. He wanted to refuse, but he didn't know how to say it.

Since awakening his spiritual power, Gu Yun's physical fitness has improved to a certain extent.

If it were just that, it wouldn't be a big deal.

The key point is that the Hundred Ghosts Scroll not only allows Gu Yun to summon the shikigami within, but also grants him a small amount of the shikigami's power when he makes a contract with it.

These powers are naturally incomparable to those of demons such as the Prajna or the Three-Tailed Fox.

But for humans, let alone a little girl like Hiratsuka Shizuka, even an adult, Gu Yun was afraid that he might accidentally lose control and kill the other person.

Come on, come on.

Grabbing Gu Yun's hand, Jing Ke'ai dragged him to her own dojo.

"Good evening, Xiao Gu Yun."

Good evening, Uncle Hiratsuka.

Taro Hiratsuka was wearing a black kimono, and the beautiful woman standing next to him was none other than Keiko Hiratsuka, Shizuka's mother.

"Jing, you can't be so rude."

Lady Hiratsuka was from a respectable family and was well-educated and reasonable.

Seeing her daughter looking like a mud monkey from a young age caused her great distress.

'If things continue like this, Jing won't be able to get married in the future, will she?'

He inexplicably saw his daughter's future Mrs. Hiratsuka and was filled with worry.

Fortunately, there is still Gu Yun.

Lady Hiratsuka looked at the boy next to her daughter.

She was extremely satisfied with Gu Yunzhen.

To put it bluntly, if Iijima Tamaki had even the slightest intention of a marriage alliance, she would have packed Hiratsuka Shizuka into a box and sent her over.

'That look in your eyes, like you're entrusting your daughter to me from now on…'

Gu Yun felt Mrs. Hiratsuka's gaze and returned the smile, as if to say, "Don't worry, Auntie, I won't dislike you, Mud Monkey."

"Know it."

Ignoring her mother's scolding, Hiratsuka Shizuka brought Gu Yun to the dojo: "Gu Yun is not an outsider. I am very quiet in class."

'Yes, only in front of me.'

Gu Yun sighed inwardly: 'This shows we're very familiar with each other and have a good relationship.'

"But Shizuka," Gu Yun wanted to say to Hiratsuka Shizuka, "when did you start having the illusion that I like mud monkeys?"

The Hiratsuka family has a long history, and they even have a dedicated dojo for practicing swordsmanship.

However, Hiratsuka Shizuka did not like kendo; she preferred the intense, visceral combat of hand-to-hand fighting.

Soon, with the help of the servants, the two children changed into white practice clothes.

"It seems there's no way to avoid it."

Unable to resist Hiratsuka Shizuka's insistence, Gu Yun could only play along: "Let's make it clear first, you can't cry if you lose."

"Aha?!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka raised her cute eyebrows, her rosy cheeks puffed up, and her displeasure was written all over her moist cheeks: "Who would cry, you idiot Tanigumo!"

"Last time, and the time before that, and the time before that."

"Urusai!!!"

As Gu Yun relentlessly exposed the little girl's dark past, the enraged Hiratsuka Shizuka could not bear it any longer and immediately charged over, shouting to show him the terrifying power of Shizuka's adorable angry fist.

Unfortunately, to Gu Yun now, Hiratsuka Shizuka's speed and strength are no different from her acting cute.

'So slow.'

Spiritual power not only allows people to see demons and monsters, but also greatly enhances memory, reaction speed, physical coordination and control.

"Whoohoo~~"

Her delicate pink fists flailing wildly, and her fair, jade-like little feet leaping into the air at the girl's sweet shouts.

"You dodged it again?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Gu Yun in surprise. Just a month ago, they were not much different.

But after only a month, she couldn't even touch the hem of Gu Yun's clothes anymore?

The girl was surprised, but she did not give up. Instead, she kicked and punched even harder. Perhaps she lacked strength, but her moves were extremely standard. In Gu Yun's opinion, she could definitely get full marks.

That's about it.

Seeing that Hiratsuka Shizuka's face was slightly flushed and her breathing was becoming more and more rapid, Gu Yun knew that the girl's strength was about to run out.

"Snapped."

He easily dodged Jing's adorable angry iron fist again, and then, the moment the girl turned her head, Gu Yun flicked his finger, hitting the little girl squarely on the forehead.

"Ah woo~"

Covering her forehead, Hiratsuka Shizuka felt aggrieved as she thought about how easily Gu Yun had neutralized her previous attacks: "Not a single one hit me! I didn't hit you at all!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka was prepared to be no match for Tanigumo.

Because Gu Yun is very capable.

He is a genius, both his parents and others believe so.

Even Hiratsuka Shizuka firmly believed this.

After a month of hard work, I haven't even touched a hair on Gu Yun's head. Isn't the gap a bit too big?

"Okay, okay, I'll call you, alright?"

Seeing that Jing was about to cry, Gu Yun immediately stepped forward to comfort her, while bringing his forehead close to the girl's face: "One flick, then three more."

"Puch."

Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt at all, I was just kidding."

After all, she was just an 8-year-old girl. Hiratsuka Shizuka wasn't one to care about winning or losing. When she saw Gu Yun apologize, she immediately stopped crying and started laughing.

"Gu Yun, how did you do it? You've become so amazing in just one month."

Is there some trick to it?

"Teach me, please?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka completely forgot about being beaten by Gu Yun and started pestering Gu Yun, wanting to obtain the secret techniques of her hometown.

Yes, that's right, a secret recipe from my hometown.

To conceal the matter of his spiritual power, Gu Yun told Hiratsuka Shizuka a story, the kind he made up on the spot.

In Gu Yun's story, Grandpa became a reclusive sage.

He has visited the Shaolin Temple, traversed the Amazon rainforest, and free-climbed Mount Everest…

In short, it's utter nonsense.

Gu Yun knew that he was actually lying on purpose.

Gu Yun thought that with Hiratsuka Shizuka's intelligence, she would probably realize such blatant boasting very quickly.

however…

Gu Yun never expected that Jing Ke'ai would actually believe it.

She actually believed that such a ridiculous thing existed in the world!
