"You can use spells so quickly?"
When she heard Snail evaluate Gu Yun as a "once-in-a-thousand-year" genius, her mother was also filled with pride.
But is this too fast?
My mother comes from the Iijima family and has been exposed to supernatural events since she was a child.
So she knew very well the difference between being able to see monsters and ghosts and being able to cast spells.
Just like her, she can't learn spells no matter how hard she tries.
Among the entire Iijima family, except for grandpa, only Iijima Kai has such power.
"Learned a lot of magic."
Gu Yun smiled and said, "I can perform it for you, mother."
Tamaki Iijima can see demons, and naturally he can also see the spells cast by Gu Yun, but for others, it is a bit troublesome.
Unless a shikigami with a physical body like the three-tailed fox appears, others will only regard Gu Yun as a chuunibyou.
"Sounds awesome."
Her mother did not stop him. In her opinion, practicing magic was just a hobby for Gu Yun.
Just like some people like baseball and some people like kendo.
"correct."
Gu Yun said: "Mother, have you ever heard of Zashiki Warashi?"
"I've heard of it."
"It's a very famous legend in Iwate Prefecture, right?"
While driving, my mother said, "It seems like a house spirit that can bring good luck to people."
"Why do you ask?"
"I conquered a Zashiki boy."
"Why?"
The mother was stunned for a moment. She was a little incredulous: "That Zashiki Warashi? Really?"
"Um."
Gu Yun said: "She is my shikigami."
"I want to ask her to become the little god of good fortune of the Iijima family, to help mother in your career and bring good fortune."
My mother is a strong woman, very motivated.
If Zashiki Warashi can really protect their family, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
Some people may ask, isn't Tamaki Iijima afraid of ghosts?
This is actually the cultural background of Japan.
Many times gods and monsters are inseparable and connected with each other.
Mother regarded Zashiki Warashi as a god.
"is it safe?"
"Don't worry, it's very safe."
Zashiki Warashi is not the Thai little ghost Gumantong, she is originally Gu Yun's shikigami.
"So what do I need to do?"
Mother asked nervously: "Build a shrine?"
"No, no, no, as long as you agree, mother."
In fact, Iijima Tamaki's consent is not needed at all, because the blessing of Zashiki Warashi is her ability itself.
The reason why Gu Yun told his mother was because he didn't want to hide it from her and do it in private.
He was also prepared for his mother's rejection.
Fortunately, subjectively, most Japanese people still like and long for lucky elves like Zashiki Warashi.
"Dingling bell~~"
The moment Zashiki Warashi completed the binding of good luck, his mother's cell phone rang.
It's the early 1990s, and mobile phones are becoming popular in Japan.
I saw my mother pick up a phs handheld phone that, in Gu Yun's opinion, was simply unimaginably old-fashioned.
"Moxi Moxi, this is Iijima."
"Huh? So fast?"
"Well, well, okay, then I'll trouble you Mr. Murakami."
Gu Yun watched his mother's phone call process. In less than a minute, his expression changed from surprise to surprise.
Fortunately, Tamaki Iijima is a beauty.
As for beauty, even her facial skills are pretty good.
"Scot one."
After turning off the call, the mother turned around in surprise: "Zashiki Warashi, Sugaichi!"
She didn't have much expectations for that plan.
Because she invited the other party several times, but the other party always made perfunctory remarks, almost clearly rejecting her.
But even the mother didn't expect that things would turn out to be unexpected.
The other party decided to support their mother and completely take control of a large company, which also meant that their Iijima family's career had taken another big step forward.
Obviously, the mother associated this sudden success with the Zashiki Warashi that Gu Yun mentioned.
"This is my mother's own efforts."
Gu Yun explained Zashiki Warashi's abilities to his mother.
The essence of Zashiki Warashi's ability is to get the maximum reward.
But the premise is that the mother herself has to work hard.
"In other words, if you want to get high scores, you have to study seriously first?"
Mother knew this. She was not a person who liked to get something for nothing.
Zashiki Warashi's good fortune not only does not make her sit back and wait, but is like an encouragement, motivating her to move forward bravely and create greater glory.
Tamaki Iijima used to be a strong woman, but in this country, the status of women is extremely embarrassing.
Fortunately, my mother is an entrepreneur.
Because my grandfather Iijima Snail was a horror novelist, my mother was exposed to the publishing industry.
Before Gu Yun was born, her mother already owned a publishing house and had many properties under her name.
Later, when the economic crisis broke out, my mother adopted Gu Yun's advice and sold all the properties in advance, thereby collecting a batch of funds. When other companies went bankrupt, they not only weathered the difficulties, but also took several steps forward.
Nowadays, the Iijima family lives in Tokyo. I dare not say that they are famous, but they can still be regarded as upper-class people.
"But Zashiki Warashi is really awesome."
Mother explained the phone call just now to Gu Yun: "I have recently acquired a large publishing house, Gu Yun, you know."
"Um."
Gu Yun sat in the passenger seat and nodded: "Succeeded?"
"If nothing else happens."
The mother is very happy. If this is successful, her career can go further.
A few years ago, the Iijima family only had one medium-sized publishing house, but now, my mother has more than a dozen companies under her name.
She started out as a publisher, so she is most familiar with this industry.
Not long ago, a huge scandal broke out among the top executives of a very large publishing house. Seeing this, my mother made a decisive move and acquired shares.
Although the Iijima family is not large in size, its liquidity has become extremely considerable due to overseas investments in recent years.
Unfortunately, things in the shopping mall are not only about who has more money, but also about interests and favors.
The transactions involved are by no means as simple as they appear on the surface.
In the words of those people who warned my mother when several previous plans failed: "The Iijima family are not qualified to interfere in this matter." '
"Hmph, those guys, celebrities and Chinese people, talk nicely."
Mother drove the car and complained: "We are not regarded as nouveau riche."
Gu Yun didn't care much about this.
Because they were right, their family was originally a nouveau riche.
Compared to those families with decades, or even nearly a century of history, the Iijima family only had about ten years of history.
"There is nothing we can do about it," Gu Yun said: "The Iijima family has risen too fast, and it has offended many people."
Seeing that his son understood this at such a young age, Tamaki Iijima was unwavering in his belief that his son was a genius: "We must keep an eye on the old man, and we must not let him lead my little Gu Yun into bad ways!" '
"Do you need me to curse them?"
"Why?"
The sudden sound startled her mother, and she almost reflexively stepped on the brakes: "What is the sound? Who is talking? A ghost?"
"It's my shikigami, Prajna."
"Prajna?"
Mother's eyes were full of surprise: "You still have shikigami? How many shikigami are there? Are they the same elf as Zashiki Warashi?"
"Forehead…"
Gu Yun scratched his cheek. He didn't know how to explain it, so he had to call out: "Three-tailed fox, Hannya, Zashiki Warashi, please come out."
"Yes, Master."
After the words fell, three figures appeared in the back row of the car.
Wearing a kimono, there is a stunning demon fox who looks like an oiran, a petite and cute girl with white ghost horns on her forehead, and a beautiful boy who wears a ghost mask on his head and is as delicate as a porcelain doll.
"this…"
The mother parked the car aside, and then looked at the three figures behind her in surprise.
"Mistress, this is our first time meeting you, my little girl, the three-tailed fox. Please take good care of me."
"Hello, I am Prajna."
"Zashiki, what a boy said~~"
Of the three shikigami, the three-tailed fox is generous, Hannya is a bit shy, and Zashiki Warashi is quite well-behaved.
"Ah, hello, my name is Iijima Tamaki."
"Don't be so nervous, ma'am."
Xiaobai jumped out of the air, landed in Gu Yun's arms, and said to his mother, "We will serve you just like we serve Master Gu Yun."
Gu Yun is the master of the shikigami, and Tamaki Iijima is his mother.
The thoughts of the shikigami are biased toward ancient Japan, and the concepts of respectability and loyalty to the emperor are almost engraved in their bones.
To use an analogy, if Gu Yun is the king in the eyes of the shikigami, then Iijima Tamaki is the queen mother, a very noble person.
"is that so?"
Tamaki Iijima is actually no stranger to shikigami. Her younger brother Kai Iijima has many shikigami.
Therefore, she may be afraid of demons, but not too afraid of shikigami.
After all, whether it was her father or her younger brother, she could be said to have grown up with demon shikigami.
Then the mother asked the shikigami to protect Gu Yun, which made the three-tailed fox wave his hands repeatedly, somewhat flattered: "It is our duty to protect the master, please don't worry."
"By the way, the curse mentioned earlier..."
"Hi."
Prajna responded softly and said: "Madam, you seem to hate some people very much. Please rest assured that these people will be left to Prajna. I am still very confident about the curse."
"Etc., etc."
Tamaki Iijima asked quickly: "Curse, what does the curse mean? That curse?"
Prajna, like the three-tailed fox, is also a demon.
But he is by no means a kind person.
Maybe Hannya is a shy little boy in front of Gu Yun and Iijima Tamaki, but this is limited to his own family and companions.
In fact, Prajna is an evil monster that can absorb resentment and control curses.
When dealing with an enemy, Prajna can take away the opponent's life without changing his expression, and let the opponent taste all the pain and torture in the world before death.
'Well, that's terrible! '
The mother looked at Prajna's face that was like a work of art, but a chill arose in her heart: "He is serious, not joking." '
"Prajna, you scared my mother."
"Ah, I'm sorry."
Prajna lowered his head and said timidly: "I didn't mean it, madam."
"No, it's okay."
From Gu Yun, my mother learned about the origin of monsters like Prajna.
Coming from the Iijima family, my mother was no stranger to monsters.
"But the curse or something, it hasn't reached that point yet."
My mother said that when it comes to things in the mall, the winners and losers, the most she can do is complain, and her disagreement can cost people's lives, which is really too much.
"is that so?"
Prajna doesn't understand very well, but he is very obedient. Since neither the mistress nor the master has requested it, he will not act without authorization.
"Huh~~"
The mother was relieved. Through getting along with him, she found that Prajna seemed to be easy to talk to.
Iijima Snail also has many shikigami, but those are either beast-shaped or grotesque monsters, such as the three-tailed fox, Zashiki Warashi, and Hannya. This is the first time my mother has seen them.
And compared to those shikigami, the monsters at home are obviously cuter.
At least my mother was not afraid of them. Instead, she was very excited to chat with them on the way home.
The three-tailed fox is generous and graceful, the zashiki boy is lively and cute, and although Hannya is shy, he is extremely polite.
"Since we are Xiao Guyun's shikigami, we are a family."
Her mother has long been accustomed to living with monsters, and what she fears is the monsters that may harm Gu Yun.
Of course, non-human beings like Xiaobai...
Well, my mother still doesn’t like Xiaobai who looks like a fox dog.
"Xiaobai is so disappointed."
Finding that his mother was still afraid of him, Xiaobai shed tears and showed a crying expression, which made the three-tailed fox and the others laugh.
