Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

As a demon, Qinglan was well aware of Bai Zangzhu's condition, which was a sign of his demonic power going berserk.

At this moment, the scroll depicting shikigami in Gu Yun's mind slowly unfolded.

Above, the image of Hakuzosu is changing, and lines of text appear, telling him about Hakuzosu's current state.

【Hakuzosu】

Rank: Special-grade demon

Contract: Gu Yun

Status: Loss of sanity (1 minute of demonic transformation, i.e., loss of sanity)

Reset: 29 minutes 50 seconds

[Lack of rationality]

Description: Enduring excessive pain makes them extremely prone to going berserk.

Solution: Obtain the High Priestess's blessing to fill the void in your heart.

"The High Priestess?."

Gu Yun used her connection with Xiao Bai as an excuse to tell her grandfather about the 'Great Witch'.

"Do we need a high priestess?" The snail frowned. "That won't be easy to find."

In this day and age, powerful priestesses are rare, let alone great priestesses.

"Anyway, leave this matter to me, your grandfather. I'll try to find someone to look for it."

The snail didn't refuse. Since it was his adorable grandson's request, he, as the grandfather, had to find a way to fulfill it.

"Thank you, grandpa."

"Because he's my grandfather."

The snail smiled and patted Gu Yun's head, while warning, "Although Xiao Bai's power is strong, it is prone to going berserk. Little Gu Yun, you must be careful."

"Fortunately, the shikigami cannot harm its master, that's for sure."

Similarly, even shikigami cannot disobey their master's orders. Even if Hakuzosu goes berserk, it still cannot harm Gu Yun.

The problem is that the scope of the power of words has its limits.

Once the White Lord escapes the realm of Gu Yun's Words of Power, the consequences of a crazed, top-tier demon are unimaginable.

"Master, I'm sorry."

Xiao Bai twitched its ears, looking dejected: "Xiao Bai, is Xiao Bai really useless?"

“It’s okay,” Gu Yun patted Xiao Bai’s head. “Xiao Bai is my family. Even if I can’t fight, I won’t hate Xiao Bai.”

"And one minute is enough for Xiaobai to protect us, right?"

Xiao Bai can only maintain the combat power of a superior demon for 1 minute, and then it takes half an hour before he can transform into a demon again without any side effects.

This period of time is enough for Gu Yun to get out of danger if anything happens.

Chapter 4 The Stone of Inspiration

"Don't worry, little one."

The snail smiled and said, "This world is so big, maybe one day a witch who can heal you will appear."

"Ok!"

Xiaobai's mind is like that of a child.

Encouraged by the snail and Gu Yun, he quickly regained his energy.

[New Shikigami Clues Discovered]

[Suzuka Gozen Awakening Quest Begins]

"Ok?"

Gu Yun noticed that the scroll was emitting a golden light, and upon opening it, he indeed saw brand new text.

"Suzuka Gozen?"

On the scroll, the originally pitch-black figure had turned grayish-white, and the figure could now be faintly discerned.

"Are shikigami not summoned through gacha pulls, but rather by completing prerequisite quests?"

"Xiao Bai goes berserk after transforming into a demon. Is it because I forcibly awakened her because I didn't complete the mission?"

Gu Yun currently only has one shikigami, so he is not yet sure whether his guess is correct.

"Open Suzuka Gozen's quest."

Gu Yun silently recited the words in his heart, and then the text reappeared on the scroll.

【Suzuka Gozen】

Mission: Contact with five dragon-shaped demons and deities to fully awaken.

Completed: 1/5

"Contact with the five dragons?"

Qinglan's appearance is that of a dragon, and Gu Yun guessed that this mission was probably awakened in this way.

However, this task is obviously difficult to complete in a short period of time.

"At least I know how to summon the shikigami from the scroll."

Gu Yun stopped thinking about it and focused her attention on her grandfather.

He possesses a scroll depicting shikigami, and it's almost certain he'll embark on the path of a sorcerer in the future.

Gu Yun does not reject this kind of life.

Travel with a hundred ghosts, traversing between this world and the other, and outwitting and outfighting all sorts of demons and monsters.

Such a wonderful life is something Gu Yun could never have imagined.

"Go and rest."

"Starting tomorrow, Grandpa will formally teach you magic."

Gu Yun nodded and walked into the courtyard.

The Iijima house is very large, with many empty rooms.

Upon seeing the two return, the mother became very worried and couldn't help but start yelling at her father again, repeatedly criticizing the snail.

My mother's personality isn't like that.

She was very gentle with Gu Yun, and in front of outsiders, she was a strong woman who seemed like a flower on a high mountain.

However, when it comes to the safety of her own child, Tamaki Iijima is completely unable to remain calm.

"what?!"

"You want Xiao Gu Yun to stay here and learn magic from you? Are you kidding me!"

Upon hearing that Gu Yun wanted to learn magic from his grandfather and live in the Iijima family home, his mother immediately refused: "Do you want this child to be like me, going through elementary, middle, and high school, becoming a freak in other people's eyes?"

"This, this is also for Xiao Gu Yun, Huan."

However, Grandpa was right; simply running away is not the solution.

As a compromise, Iijima Tamaki was willing to accept Gu Yun learning magic, but Gu Yun absolutely could not become a sorcerer.

With such a wealthy family, Gu Yun could easily become a person of high status.

In Iijima Tamaki's plan for Tanigumo, he would attend a private elite school and then get into the University of Tokyo.

After graduation, he directly inherited her company and group, and then married a lady from a prominent family.

In short, Iijima Tamaki would never allow Tanigumo to disappear without a trace, like her younger brother!

"Smelly old man?"

"I promise, I promise!"

Grandpa, threatened by his daughter's gaze, waved his hands repeatedly and said with a wry smile, "You should trust me a little, Xiao Huan."

The grandfather was also very saddened by what happened to his youngest son.

He wasn't just giving me the runaround; he genuinely wouldn't force Tanigumo to inherit his mantle.

However, just as he told his mother, learning to drive doesn't necessarily make you a driver, and being able to cook doesn't mean you have to become a chef.

It's good for kids to learn some magic; having more skills is never a bad thing.

"Let's treat it as a hobby, okay, Xiaohuan?"

Grandpa smiled ingratiatingly and began to speak kindly to his daughter: "Look at other grandparents, whenever their adorable grandchildren come to the countryside to play, they teach them things, right?"

"Well, I'm not very good at things like carpentry and fishing, so I can only teach him some useless spells."

Seeing that her grandfather had said all the right things and his tone was extremely humble, her mother finally sighed helplessly and reluctantly agreed.

"Don't worry, Mom."

Gu Yun also promised, "I will go back to Tokyo to study after spring break."

Using his memories from his previous life, Gu Yun had his mother sell the properties under her name before the Japanese bubble burst, thus obtaining a large amount of liquid funds.

As a result, the mother's company not only did not go bankrupt due to the economic crisis, but instead took the opportunity to rise to prominence.

It can be said that in Tamaki Iijima's mind, her son was a business genius.

At such a young age, he already possesses such a far-sighted and sharp vision.

How could such a genius become a lowly horror novelist like her father?

"You can't go back on your word."

The mother stroked Gu Yun's head, her eyes filled with reluctance: "A child who lies will have to swallow a thousand needles."

Gu Yun was both amused and exasperated, truly unsure which of the two, mother and son, was the child.
