Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

But looking at the entire exorcism circle, people like Uncle Daomo are the normal ones.

Those with a Spirit Rank of 5 or higher can learn spells, but the power of their spells is questionable, and they may even be unreliable.

"Isn't that dangerous?"

"Yes."

Miyako said, "That's why we are the top in the industry."

"where are they?"

"They."

Miyako smiled slightly and gave two words: "Of course, an expert."

Chapter 41 Nanami Momozono

After the two finished exorcising the spirit, Gu Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

The appearance of the Slit-Mouthed Woman near Sakuramantei Academy was like planting a landmine on the road. Gu Yun couldn't rest easy thinking that Hiratsuka Shizuka might step on the mine and get blown up.

Now everything is alright, the Slit-Mouthed Woman has been defeated, and the children in the neighborhood are safe.

"Thank you for your hard work, Miyako-neechan, this time."

"Hmm~"

Miyako pouted in dissatisfaction, then hugged him tightly: "Sister is unhappy!"

"Hey?"

Gu Yun was taken aback: "Why?"

"Isn't it only natural for an older sister to help her younger brother?"

Miyako tightened her arms: "Little Gu Yun is so distant, I'm very angry, so I'm going to punish you."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Gu Yun used all his strength to barely lift his head from his unfathomable depths: "Punishment?"

"I'm exhausted after being out for so long," Miyako said. "I really want to take a bath."

"Uh, I, I understand."

Can Gu Yun refuse? Does he want to refuse? Should he refuse?

"Ok."

Gu Yun reluctantly accepted Miyako's suggestion: "Let's take a bath together."

Before she knew it, Gu Yun had gotten used to it.

He was certain that he was well-liked by older women.

Gu Yun: What a troublesome talent...

Mr. Cao: Thumbs up!

The two walked home together. Meanwhile, Ashiya Michima made a phone call, and soon after, a woman in black wearing sunglasses appeared in front of him.

Has the Slit-Mouthed Woman been cured?

"Oh, you have to trust me, I'm a professional."

Although Sakuramantei is a private aristocratic school, theoretically, the nearby shrine should step in to resolve this matter.

However, the strength of the shrines varies, and ghost stories are relatively difficult to search for, so it is likely that they alone would have difficulty even discovering the existence of the Slit-Mouthed Woman.

Ashiya Doma performed the exorcism of the Slit-Mouthed Woman not through an official commission, but through a private commission.

"Based on the ranking, the Slit-Mouthed Woman should already be a mid-level ghost story, right?"

The woman's name is Eri Kisaki, a top lawyer who maintains an undefeated record in court and is known as the "Queen of the Legal World".

Eri's daughter attends Sakura Mantei school; please pay no attention to the disappearances that have occurred there.

For her daughter's safety, Eri Kisaki decisively launched an investigation.

Because of her ancestors, Eri Kisaki, though she doesn't know magic, possesses the ability to see ghosts (similar to Tamaki Iijima), so she keenly sensed something was amiss.

Ashiya Doma's exorcism mission was issued by her.

However, Eri Kisaki was not the only one who received the request; she had contacted local shrines and even government officials.

Unfortunately, their skills are mediocre.

Let alone defeating the Slit-Mouthed Woman, we don't even have the ability to find her.

To date, only Ashiya Michima has succeeded.

"How could a mere intermediate-level opponent possibly be a match for me!"

Ashiya Doma's skin was thicker than anyone could imagine. Even though it was Tanigumo and Miyako who defeated the Slit-Mouthed Woman, he managed to claim all the credit for himself.

He had asked the two of them beforehand whether they were eligible for this achievement.

The siblings didn't care; they weren't involved in the paranormal world and weren't short of money.

Gu Yun truly had nothing to lack, while Miyako was happy with her simple life.

The credit is just sitting there anyway. Uncle Daomo did participate in the extermination, so it wouldn't hurt to let him get some benefits.

However, the uncle did not tell the siblings that he was not an official, but rather a privately commissioned individual.

"It seems that it has indeed been defeated."

Eri Kisaki also noticed, her common sense rapidly returning: 'I underestimated him. I thought he was just a sleazy-looking conman. Could he really be a master?'

Being able to subdue intermediate-level demons makes him a top-tier exorcist in the community.

Such exorcism masters are extremely rare.

'only.'

The perceptive Eri Kisaki sensed that Uncle Domo was evasive: 'He's lying.'

'Oh well, as long as the Slit-Mouthed Woman is defeated, that's all that matters.'

Her eyes narrowed slightly, but she didn't say anything.

Eri Kisaki's surname is "Kisaki". Her ancestors were priestesses, but in her generation, they could no longer practice magic and had to change professions to make a living.

Eri Kisaki, who is already extremely intelligent, coupled with her ability to communicate with ghosts, has been unstoppable in the legal profession, reaching the pinnacle of the legal industry before the age of 30.

According to ancestral records, after disappearing into the shadows, an ordinary person's memory will be corrected again.

But they will still get used to it and won't feel anything is out of place.

Like Tamura's parents, they may be saddened by their child's death, but they wouldn't suspect that the car accident was the cause of death.

In contrast, those with spiritual powers are more aware of the existence of ghost stories than they are.

"This is the agreed-upon payment."

Eri Kisaki handed Ashiya Michima a stack of money, which he took without counting and happily stuffed into his clothes.

"Haha, next time you need something, please come to me, Miss Fei."

"Ah."

As the queen of the legal world, Eri Kisaki knew very well that Michima Ashiya was hiding the truth.

He definitely didn't defeat the Slit-Mouthed Woman.

But since he dares to claim that, he obviously knows something.

“The person who defeated the Slit-Mouthed Woman is either not from the Tokyo area and is an outsider,” Eri Kisaki quickly deduced, “or they are those skilled martial artists from the common people.”

Folk masters don't care much about their reputation, nor do they consider themselves exorcists.

These people have their own jobs; exorcisms are more like their responsibility and hobby.

"However, these things have nothing to do with me."

Eri Kisaki is not short of money. She paid the fee to settle the karmic debt, so whatever happens next will be the responsibility of Ashiya Michima.

"The Ashiya family seems to have completely fallen into ruin."

"Well, the Fei family is the same."

Eri Kisaki gave a self-deprecating laugh and turned to leave: "We're all equally bad, so who can laugh at whom?"

Ashiya Doma risked his life to cure the Slit-Mouthed Woman for money, so what does it matter if he takes on the karma for money now?

All you need is money.

His life is not important at all.

"I'm back~ Nanami!"

Entering the cheap rental room, Ashiya Doman looked at the little girl lying on the tatami mat, holding a calligraphy brush and drawing on a white talisman.

However, the girl had no spiritual power, so the talismans she drew were naturally useless.

"uncle"

The girl's name is Momozono Nanami, she is 12 years old and is Ashiya Michima's niece.

Nanami's mother is Ashiya Doma's younger sister.

Nana's mother was unlucky; she married a scumbag.

The other party became addicted to gambling, squandering all of the family's savings and accumulating a mountain of debt before fleeing, leaving behind only an orphan and widow in dire straits.

Several years ago, Nanami's mother passed away from a serious illness. Before her death, she entrusted her lonely and helpless daughter to her brother Ashiya Doma.

"Nanami-chan, you're in luck today. Your uncle made a lot of money."

"After paying off part of it, I'll be able to eat meat every meal for the next month!"

Ashiya Michima is greedy, and the debts he incurred because of that scumbag boyfriend are now all piling up on Nanami's shoulders.

To deal with the yakuza who would come knocking on his door every few days to collect debts, Ashiya Doma had to find ways to raise money, and he even had to bite the bullet and try to get involved in exorcising ghost stories, which he had rarely done before.

Fortunately, I met Gu Yun and Miyako this time.
