I'm in Tokyo, caught in the clutches of the demon princess.

He lived a peaceful but aimless life, thinking that his whole life would be like this until that day, when a beautiful girl inexplicably walked into his world.

It's often said that cats and dogs can't be friends, but Ren Ogura's daughter, Bo, gets along very well with her cats, and even plays with them in the yard.

Ren Ogura rang the doorbell. It was the first time Ryujuro and Ren Ogura met, and also the first time they ate together.

Because they both love cute things, the disillusioned middle-aged man and the lively, adorable young girl found common ground and topics to discuss.

The two gradually became friends, and the girl would often come to visit him, chatting with Ryujuro about this and that.

His defenses were gradually breached by this lovely girl, and Ryujuro began to actively communicate with her and confide in her.

As time went by, he fell hopelessly in love with the boy, but reality is like a randomly appearing mirror, which at times reflects his own mediocrity.

The girl was a special admission student at Tokyo University of the Arts, and even her family's nanny van cost tens of millions of yen.

She was here simply because she wanted to experience the pulse of life; those who study art often have some unique quirks.

Upon learning the girl's true family background, the affection he had finally developed was hidden away.

Afterwards, you can keep your distance and avoid them if possible.

He didn't realize that the girl had also fallen for him.

They say you can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever.

When Ryujuro returned home at 10 p.m., he opened his bedroom door, and Xiaobo heard the noise and ran over.

Ryujuro instinctively caught Kobo.

The next second, Ryujuro's pupils contracted slightly.

The wavelet shouldn't be here; its presence here means...

Sure enough, the girl appeared in front of him.

"Shiro, why are you avoiding me?"

There's nowhere to hide, nowhere to avoid.

Faced with the girl's sharp yet gentle questioning, Ryujuro finally gave in and told her everything.

Ryujuro poured out all his concerns and worries, as well as his feelings for the girl.

After hearing everything, the girl smiled happily.

She then told Ryujuro her own story.

It's true that the girl's family is wealthy, but she is an illegitimate child and has no status in the family. This is the home she chose herself, the only thing that truly belongs to her.

Her family's attitude was to give her some money and let her fend for herself.

You could say the two of them were in the same boat.

At that moment, the girl confessed her feelings to Ryujuro.

The misunderstanding was cleared up, the barriers disappeared, and the two people who liked each other naturally came together.

Their days together were peaceful and happy, and even the many rumors and gossip outside did not shake their relationship in the slightest.

The only minor conflict was that the girl wanted to paint a picture for Ryujuro, but Ryujuro's deep-seated inferiority complex made him refuse the offer.

This is why the girl, who was good at sketching, did not draw a portrait of Kazesawa, but instead described his features.

The girl respected Ryujuro very much, so she was willing to accompany him to overcome his inferiority complex.

Ryujuro remembered everything.

Ryujuro shed tears of self-reproach.

"I'm sorry, I forgot about you."

Ren Ogura smiled happily and said, "Didn't I just remember?"

"Shiro, may I draw a portrait of you?"

The words spoken in the past are being brought up once again.

This time, however, Ryujuro gave a different answer.

"Okay, I will fulfill any request Lian makes."

Feng Zejian, standing to the side, revealed a knowing smile.

After many twists and turns, the two finally achieved their happy ending.

"Before we go any further, let's thank our benefactor."

Ryujuro nodded.

The two bowed deeply to Feng Zejian.

"Thank you, thank you for everything you've done for us."

Feng Zejian smiled and shook his head.

"It's okay, this is what I should do."

"Then I'll be going now, without disturbing you two any longer."

"Goodbye."

Ren Ogura nestled in Ryujuro's arms, watching Kazesawa and Yaoji leave.

Feng Zejian arrived at the newsstand.

Upon seeing Feng Zejian arrive, the earthbound spirit grandfather from the newsstand also appeared.

"Child, you are here."

Feng Zejian forced a smile. "Grandpa, I'm here."

"Is there anything I can do this time?"

Feng Zejian shook his head.

"No need, I'm here to see Grandpa one last time."

"I will die in Guanye District soon."

The newspaper's earthbound spirit fell silent.

"Child, you..."

"This is my own choice."

Suddenly, Yaoji tightly embraced Fengzejian.

"Don't die, don't."

The eight hundred temples wailed in despair.

Kazema stroked Yaoji's arm.

"Bayakuji Temple, do not grieve. I died in Guanye District, but my soul will remain here. I will be with you."

"So, could you please accompany me on the last leg of my journey through life?"

Yaoji hugged her even tighter, his voice hoarse and choked with sobs.

"it is good."

The newspaper-bound spirit asked, "Child, can I come with you?"

Feng Zejian smiled and nodded.

"my pleasure."

The spirits of the Eight Hundred Temples and the newspaper followed behind Kazesawa.

Before heading to the final destination, there is one more place I need to go: the home of the little girl Jiajia.

Feng Zejian arrived at Jiajia's house and knocked on the door.

"Jiajia, it's your older brother. I've come to see you."

After a while, the door opened, and Jiajia's cute little face came into view.

"Brother, I miss you so much."

Feng Zejian picked up Jiajia and kissed her on the cheek.

"I miss you too, Jiajia."

Chapter 468 Confessing to the Gods

Feng Zejian played with Jiajia for a while, then went upstairs and entered the room where the vajra on the shrine maiden's outfit was still lying quietly.

Or rather, this is not a demon-subduing pestle but a god-slaying pestle.

Feng Zejian picked up the God-Slaying Pestle, but a black hand grabbed his arm.

That terrifying being was locking onto him.

Feng Zejian said calmly, "It's not over yet. Believe me, I won't let them have their way."

The owner of the black hand seemed to understand and slowly withdrew his hand.

Feng Zejian gripped the God-Slaying Pestle tightly and stood there stunned for a long time.

"That's about it, time to go."

Feng Ze muttered to himself, then went downstairs.

Looking at Jiajia sitting on the sofa, Feng Zejian bid her a final farewell.

"Jiajia, your brother is leaving."

Jiajia was a little frustrated.

"Brother, are you leaving so soon?"

He forced a smile amidst the wind and rain.

"Jiajia, shall I take you away from Guanye District?"

Jiajia hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is there a brother there?"

Feng Zejian forced a smile and shook his head.

"no."

"Then I won't go. I'll stay here and wait for my brother."

"it is good."

He quickly turned his head away, not wanting Jiajia to see him crying.

The old man at the newsstand looked at Feng Zejian at that moment, and felt a mix of emotions.

Feng Zejian quickly left.

Jiajia waved her hand.

"Goodbye brother."

Upon entering the courtyard, a layer of heavy snow had fallen outside.

Feng Zejian looked up at the sky and said slowly, "So it's already winter?"

Winter has actually arrived long ago, but it came exceptionally late this year, with the first snowfall only falling today.

Feng Zejian took out his phone and glanced at the date: December 23rd.

Tomorrow is Yuzuka's birthday, right? Should we celebrate it with her first?

This idea was rejected by Kazema, but he came up with a second method.

As Kazesawa tilted his head, a portrait of Tomie Kawakami appeared, and the next second, another Kazesawa crawled out from under Kazesawa's neck.

Feng Zejian looked at the other Feng Zejian and gave him instructions:

"It's Yuzuru's birthday today, so I'm entrusting it to you."

The other Feng Zejian nodded.

This was temporarily created by Kazema using Tomie Kawakami's abilities. It has many flaws, such as not being able to speak, and it won't exist forever, but it shouldn't be a problem to survive until midnight today.
