Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Miyako and Gu Yun are not short of money, nor would they go to collect it.

The former does not make a living by exorcising spirits, while the latter follows his grandfather's example and does not want worldly possessions to affect his spiritual practice.

If Gu Yun wants money, he has plenty of ways to get it.

For example, having Kūgen bless the Iijima family could generate astronomical sums of money from just that one move.

Moreover, given the Iijima family's wealth, a mere one million yen is hardly worth considering by Gu Yun.

It's like you dropped a dollar, someone found it, and then made a big fuss to return it.

"I have received your attitude."

Regarding the money, Gu Yun said, "Two of the three people don't want it. Uncle, if you need it, just take it."

This is Gu Yun's attitude; he says he has forgiven Uncle Daomo.

"This"

Although he was just a child, Uncle Daomo gave off a sense of pressure, like someone in a superior position, which made Daomo feel a little awe.

"Thank you so much for your understanding."

"But what I mean is, I shouldn't take all the credit for myself."

Having recognized the Iijima family's generosity, Uncle Domo also knew that Gu Yun truly didn't care about money, but that wasn't a reason for him to deceive them and use them as pawns.

On this point, Uncle Daomo must sincerely apologize to Gu Yun.

"oh, I understand now."

Gu Yun said, "I forgive you for this too."

Uncle Domo didn't need to explain anything to him in the first place.

His special visit made Gu Yun's second impression of him far better than her first.

"Lying is indeed wrong, but if I didn't lie, that lawyer probably wouldn't have given you the money, right?"

"That's true."

Uncle Domo had no choice; if he didn't lie, they wouldn't give him money, so he ended up visiting Gu Yun and Miyako instead.

"In a way, you've actually helped my brother and me reduce some trouble."

If we look at it another way, Uncle Domo's greed for credit actually overshadowed the brilliance of the Iijima family.

From a long-term perspective, this can indeed avoid a lot of trouble.

"How about this."

Gu Yun said, "Uncle Daomo, if you grant me one request, this matter can be put to rest. How about it?"

"Miyako-neechan?"

As he spoke, Gu Yun glanced at Miyako and asked for her opinion.

"I don't care. Your forgiveness is my forgiveness."

So our relationship has gotten that good? And that tone of yours, as if you're keeping him as a mistress, will make people misunderstand, sister.

'Is this what it feels like to be pampered by a rich woman?'

But that doesn't make sense; Gu Yun is the eldest son of a wealthy family.

Even if someone were to be kept by a sugar daddy, it would be him keeping this older married woman as his sugar daddy.

Miyako, at best you're just the prettiest girl in this village!

"Uncle Daomo, do you usually take on exorcism cases?"

"um, yes."

"Is it difficult?"

"what?"

Uncle Daomo didn't quite understand Gu Yun's meaning, but after thinking about it carefully, he said, "Most of the time it's the employer who is paranoid. Nine times out of ten it's like this."

“There are occasional real paranormal events,” the man said. “Ghosts and little monsters cause trouble, but I can handle them.”

“But if we encounter demons,” Uncle Daomo said awkwardly, “to be honest, it would be very troublesome.”

Uncle Domo's fighting power is basically zero, and demons are not as simple as mischievous little monsters.

Even lower-level demons possess physiques far exceeding those of humans.

Strength, speed, and defense—these three qualities alone are enough to make Uncle Domo despair.

He couldn't even defeat a powerful martial arts master, let alone a lower-level demon who could kill a powerful martial arts master with a single punch.

In the past, when faced with similar situations, Uncle Daomo would act within his capabilities and not risk his life.

But then, Nanami came along.

Faced with the choice between his niece's happiness and his own safety, Uncle Daomo resolutely chose the former.

So now it's not a question of whether we're afraid or not.

Uncle Daomo really had no other choice but to risk his life and take a gamble.

Even if he were here, begging the Iijima family for a job, would Uncle Domo really have the confidence to do it well?

No, Uncle Domo knows his own limitations; if you're not capable, you're not capable.

He was familiar with exorcism.

I really don't know anything else.

Moreover, Uncle Domo was unwilling to accept this handout.

It wasn't just for himself; he wanted to set an example for Nanami so that she could be independent and self-reliant in the future.

Otherwise, today he would be lazy, good-for-nothing, and ignorant.

If Nana is born a bad girl in the future, then that will be his problem.

With Nanami's looks and talent, if she were willing to give up her dignity and go anywhere, money would be no problem at all.

But this won't do, absolutely not!

Therefore, Uncle Domo cannot make mistakes.

Even if you lied, you should still take Nanami to her home to apologize and let the girl know what is right and what is wrong.

As for wrongdoings, the Ashiya clan would rather sever their lineage than do such a thing!

I'm not alone anymore.

From the moment he accepted Nanami, Uncle Domo told himself: 'I am this girl's 'father'!'

Chapter 47 Xiaoyang, hurry up and call me Onii-chan!

"I see."

Vision not only allows people to enter different worlds, but also to see things that cannot be observed with the naked eye, such as a person's mind, will, and determination.

Gu Yun remembered what his grandfather had told him: save those who are worth saving.

"Uncle, would you like to be my manager?"

"what?"

Uncle Daomo was taken aback, and Gu Yun explained, "It means we've formed a team to deal with paranormal events in this area."

"This"

"Don't let my young age fool you, I'm actually quite capable."

"No, no, that's not what I meant."

Uncle Daomo quickly shook his head, indicating that exorcists do not look at age, but rather at strength and character.

In both of these aspects, Gu Yun far surpasses him.

"I'm new to the paranormal world and I'm really missing out on opportunities like this."

Gu Yun said, "Miyako-neechan lives in Suzunose, which is a small town far from Tokyo."

Exorcists generally have a fixed circle, so Gu Yun wasn't worried that Uncle Daomo would act recklessly and take on jobs all over the country.

In addition, Uncle Daomo can usually handle any supernatural or ghostly incidents on his own.

With his eloquence, he could easily handle matters involving miscellaneous ghosts and minor demons.

"It's my pleasure!"

Uncle Daomo quickly bowed in obeisance. Nana didn't understand, but she followed suit, thinking that being polite was never a bad thing: "Thank you for your appreciation. Please rest assured, I have been in the exorcism circle for decades and have accumulated a lot of connections and experience!"

At this point, the man added, "What I meant was that there are quite a variety of paranormal events."

“Young Master Gu Yun is aware of my strength,” the uncle said, scratching his head awkwardly. “As for experience in being chased, I have quite a bit of experience.”

"Hahaha."

Gu Yun was amused by the uncle's honesty and quickly said it was no problem: "If there's anything you need in the future, you can ask me to come with you. As for the payment, how about we split it 50/50?"

"This, isn't this too much? Just give me some, that's fine."

In fact, Gu Yun wouldn't have accepted the 50% unless it would put the other party at ease.

He has no use for money.

If you don't want it, Uncle Daomo definitely won't accept it.

"Okay, that's it."

Gu Yun made a decision without giving the other party a chance to refute: "There's just one thing, don't reveal my identity."

"do not worry!"

Exorcism alone is acceptable to Tamaki Iijima.

If Gu Yun were to truly make a living as an exorcist and abandon the Iijima family business, his mother would never agree to it.

"Then, Nanami and I will take our leave."
