Back at Iijima's old house, the maids greeted him and Hayasaka Nao: "Dinner is ready."
"Isn't mother back yet?"
"Madam has something to do at the company and will come back later," Hayasaka Nao said, "She asked us to eat first."
Gu Yun nodded and took Hayasaka Nao to the living room.
"Let's eat together, Nao-san."
It is clear that Nao Asaka is the etiquette instructor of the Iijima family, but whenever Tamaki Iijima is not around, she will be particularly indulgent towards Tanigumo.
It was the mother who seemed to be being harshly treated.
Tamaki Iijima: A world where only I am injured?
"Um."
After Gu Yun's introduction, Hayasaka Nao had a preliminary understanding of the three-tailed fox.
The three-tailed fox has a gentle personality, and the big sister is full of style and has great experience in taking care of people.
Gu Yun has no connections, but his grandfather does. The old man has told him before that he will take him to meet colleagues who are related to the Iijima family in the near future, which can be regarded as extending this incestuous relationship to Gu Yun.
After speaking, Hayasaka Nao was filled with emotion: "Working with monsters is like a dream."
"It's really incredible."
After the meal, Gu Yun called out the three-tailed fox. She had the idea of becoming the maid of the Iijima family. Now that Hayasaka Nao knew the existence of the demon, there was no need to hide it from her.
Although they have abilities, they are not orthodox spiritual exterminators. Instead, they are more like folk masters hidden among ordinary people.
Thinking about such a life and childhood makes me feel pitiful.
Hayasaka Nao realized that she was a little rash and said quickly: "Ah, if it's a secret, you don't have to tell me."
Tamaki Iijima, who has been alone since he was a child due to his supernatural constitution, did not want to tell the secret to Hayasaka Nao because he was worried that the child would be afraid of them.
"That's probably what happened."
"Hello."
That rascal?
Besides grandpa, is there any other person who can be called that by his mother?
"Originally I was planning to go with you."
It is true that Hayasaka Nao has outstanding abilities, but with so much work, even an iron man would be exhausted.
"The purpose of our trip to the countryside this time is to let the old man teach me various spells."
"This is the first time we meet. I am a three-tailed fox. Please give me some advice, Ms. Hayasaka."
If you haven't encountered one, you won't go around the world to slay demons. That's not the job of the Iijima family at all.
As for Gu Yun, he was speechless watching this orange scene.
"Such a thing happened."
In the company, the girl is her mother's confidant and think tank, often helping her solve problems.
Through Gu Yun, Hayasaka Nao learned some secrets of the Iijima family.
The old man is a horror novel writer, and Gu Yun is the eldest son of the Iijima Group. They both have their own lives and are not bound by the world of monsters.
"Then, Madam..."
Hayasaka Nao sat aside and whispered softly: "I'm starting."
In comparison, the Iijima family doesn't have that many things to do.
Mother stopped Gu Yun and said, "That guy called today and asked you to go out with him on the weekend."
For them, Nao Hayasaka is willing to go to hell.
"No no."
This was the first time for Hayasaka Nao to know about the supernatural circle, and she found it very novel.
"I told you earlier, Mother."
"I see."
Even though she knew that the other party would not hurt her, when she thought that the three-tailed fox was a monster, it was really difficult for the girl to deal with it with a normal heart.
"Let me introduce you to Nao-san."
Gu Yun knew that Hayasaka Nao thought of him as a Masked Superman, an existence like Ultraman, but she misunderstood: "Our Iijima family are not serious spiritual masters, nor do we make a living from it."
"Madam, please don't say that."
So don't say it's just a threat from demons.
"Nao-chan~~"
The homework for primary school students is not very difficult, but it is a little time-consuming.
"Nao-sama, you don't have to be so scared."
"The driver's license matter is not a big problem, I will solve it."
Hayasaka Nao almost understood the situation of Gu Yun and the Iijima family.
There are real spiritualists and exorcists in this world. Some of them are hidden among the people, and some also work for the government.
Iijima Tamaki is so rich, Gu Yun doesn't need to rely on ghost removal to make a living.
Soon after, my mother returned from the company.
Gu Yun stretched, he was going to do his homework.
"Madam~~"
"Then, young master, do you want to fight those things in a place that my wife and I don't know about?"
Apart from his grandfather, Gu Yun's only knowledge of the spirit-expelling circle was through the rebel Abe Shoaki.
This is a clan with spiritual power stored in their blood.
"That," said the three-tailed fox, "I think it's pretty simple."
"Ah, wait."
"Now that Nao knows, let her accompany you there."
Next, Gu Yun told Hayasaka Nao what happened to her mother when she was young, and also let her know that not everyone likes to have the ability to see ghosts.
After hearing that Hayasaka Nao knew the secret of the Iijima family, her mother was a little surprised: "If Nao is afraid..."
Hayasaka Nao was saved by her mother, received her great kindness, and vowed to dedicate her life to mother and son.
The girl's heartfelt words almost moved Tamaki Iijima to tears.
The three-tailed fox has a strong learning ability. Driving is not difficult. The only trouble is the driver's license.
"In short, we, the Iijima family, neither need to protect the world nor have the responsibility to uphold justice."
The girl has suffered too much pain, which has caused her to be emotionally indifferent. Only when facing Iijima Tamaki and Gu Yun can she experience the warmth of the world.
Seeing the girl's outspoken appearance, Gu Yun scratched his head helplessly: "Sister Nayang, you don't have to be so polite to me. Even if I know magic or something, you are still my sister."
Gu Yun shrugged and was about to get up and leave: "I don't have anything to do here, I'm going to rest."
If you don't rely on magic to make a living, then it's just a hobby.
Hayasaka Nao did not expect Iijima Tamaki to have such an experience, and she admired his wife's strength even more in her heart.
"My abilities are more powerful, so I can contract monsters."
"Mother can see, but she can't do magic."
Hayasaka Nao asked: "Can Miss Three-Tailed Fox drive?"
If you only encounter someone, they will help and do whatever they can.
Gu Yun: "This is a three-tailed fox."
Hayasaka Nao was a little nervous.
"If you want to pick up and drop off..."
Gu Yun said: "Actually, my mother's brother, my uncle, also has magic power, as well as my grandfather."
"And I don't know many people in this circle now."
"But why did you become an Onmyoji, Master?"
"From now on, I'll let Sister Fox do the work of taking me to school."
Hayasaka Nao's work is extremely stressful. Not only does she have to take care of Gu Yun's life, she also needs to take care of the Iijima mansion.
"For me, magic is just a hobby, just like the kendo and judo I study in daily life."
And this is what grandpa said, 'Don't get too close to that world'.
You can see it, but you can't change anything. You can only be frightened by monsters, and then become a freak in the eyes of your peers.
"And there's nothing that can't be said," Gu Yun said: "In fact, our Iijima family, starting from my grandfather's generation, has the ability to see monsters."
They are born with spiritual senses and can see ghosts and monsters. Some members even have the ability to learn spells and use shikigami.
My mother was also in a dilemma at first. She had a job in the company, but at the same time she was worried about grandpa, fearing that he would lead Gu Yun into trouble.
"At least now, I really don't know many people."
After saying that, the mother put her hands on the girl's shoulders and said solemnly: "Nao, you have to remember to keep an eye on that old guy. You must never let him lead Xiao Guyun into trouble!"
“…..”
Hayasaka Nao was a little confused, and Gu Yun was even dumbfounded.
