"Husband's family."
Reiko sighed again, she somewhat understood the current situation.
There is no big contradiction inside the courtyard, but there is something called a chain of contempt.
The guardian shikigami has a detached status, similar to a favored concubine, and can accompany Gu Yun.
"More than anything else, everyone wants to serve Xiao Guyun."
Kong Huan also had similar thoughts, but she was not in a hurry and would not do anything just for this purpose.
Because in the illusory concept, accompanying Gu Yun is to gain more attention.
It's just that this kind of attention, emptiness and self-consciousness doesn't feel like an advantage.
Her strength is not strong enough, and her temperament is not outstanding enough.
It was this point that made Kong Huan choose the next best thing. She moved into the Iijima mansion and lived and ate with Gu Yun's family on a daily basis.
This subtle influence is the real mastery.
"Xiao Kong, you are truly a vixen."
"Are you sure you're complimenting me?"
"certainly!"
Natsume Reiko smiled, stood up and said, "Let's go on a field trip with me."
"Why go?"
"Looking for the monster I was associated with in my lifetime."
It is Reiko's job to manage the courtyard, but she is not a mouthpiece, but a neighborhood committee aunt who helps the shikigami solve problems.
Since we want to do practical things, we definitely need our own team.
Otherwise, she would do everything by herself and not even have the manpower to investigate. How would Natsume Reiko have the confidence to do this job well?
"Is this a business trip?"
"Um."
Natsume Reiko went out with Kong Huan. Gu Yun saw it and asked: "Sister Reiko, Xiao Kong, where are you going?"
Naturally, Gu Yun would not have any restrictions on Lingzi.
She can go wherever she wants
The reason for asking was just that Gu Yun, as a parent, wanted to know the whereabouts of the two of them in advance and asked them when they would be back.
Reiko is now one of Gu Yun's family members, and according to the rules of the Iijima family, everyone has to eat three meals a day together.
"Kyushu Island, Reiko is going back to her hometown to visit her relatives."
Natsume Reiko's hometown is Hitoyoshi City, Kumamoto Prefecture, Kyushu Island, where she left her daughter Reina.
In the blink of an eye, time passed and Reina was married, and I heard she even had a son.
Reiko died young and did not give her daughter much care.
Now that she had the opportunity to leave the underworld, Reiko took this opportunity to meet her daughter and check on her grandson.
"Come back tonight?"
"Not coming back."
"Um."
Gu Yun asked the boys and girls to inform the kitchen that Lingzi and Kong Huan would not go home for dinner: "Then have a nice journey."
The two women greeted Gu Yun and left the Iijima Residence.
They got on the divine chariot summoned by Kong Huan and flew straight towards Kyushu Island.
"Tianhu is out?"
"It seems that Natsume was persuaded."
"They seem to have known each other a long time ago, so Natsume asked her about things when he came."
"The fox is a smart person, she knows a lot of things."
The Emaki shikigami, headed by Momiji, gathered in a different space under the Iijima mansion. They were like reflections in the light, and the material and the illusion were completely consistent.
If Iijima Residence stands in the world of the sun, then this black Japanese-style courtyard is a protective barrier built on secret techniques such as Kohaku's Mikage and Hanazumamaki's painting of the sky.
The two spaces are connected to each other, and the shikigami can escape into it from any corner of the Iijima Residence. They can also appear in the Iijima Residence from anywhere in the Mikage Residence, ready to be at the disposal of the Iijima family at any time.
"Lord Reiko, you are deeply trusted by your master."
Hong Ye elegantly licked the fiery red maple leaf in her hand, making her lips look as bright as if they were stained with blood.
"It's just trust. If she doesn't have talent, I won't recognize her status."
Yan Ling was messing around with the monsters in a very shameless way. She didn't care at all. She was simply deceived by Hong Ye and pulled over to act as a gold medal thug.
"Miss Reiko is not that kind of person."
Higanka shook her head. She had had many contacts with Natsume Reiko, and she still recognized her in her heart.
Since Gu Yun asked Lingzi to be the bridge inside the courtyard, he must have had a certain understanding of Lingzi's character and abilities and knew that she was suitable for this job.
Natsume Reiko would not rely on Gu Yun's favor to oppress the shikigami in various ways.
His sister Reiko cannot be a pure evil person.
"Well, on this point, I agree with Miss Higanbana's idea."
Hongye is the think tank of this faction, and she is much more reliable than Yan Ling: "Reiko-sama is very easy to get along with. If we want to say anything to the master in the future, we can ask her to convey it to her."
Although there are many resentful demons who don't like Reiko's sudden airborne appearance, Momiji and Higanhana feel that they should have a good relationship with Natsume Reiko.
Yan Ling?
Yan Ling is a landmine, just don't step on her.
Although the current garden shikigami also have factions as described by Kong Huan, due to the continuous emergence of the will of the world, the positions of many shikigami have changed.
For example, the Jōsepa sect of Gokueijin, small monsters such as Zashiki Warashi and Yingcao who are weak and independent from the world, are more inclined to Gokotsu's philosophy.
They traveled between Hanatei and Iijima Residence, learned the skills of serving people there, and then applied them to the residence.
To a certain extent, boys, girls, zashiki, and Eishusa are more like the maids and servants in the Iijima mansion.
"The happiness of little monsters has always been so simple and unpretentious."
Yu Weijin invited her aunt many times, and she was indeed shaken.
I can't help it. Who knew there were so many cute little lolita in this flower pavilion? My aunt really likes it there.
Then there is the Otherworld Sect…
How should I put it? The otherworldly sect led by Yama is not so much a faction as it is the kind that beats workers crazily and rolls them to death.
Yan Mo has no idea about Shang Luozhong's philosophy.
She prefers to vent her energy on a large amount of work in order to better maintain the world where Gu Yun lives.
For example, Chiki, as the natural incarnation of the afterlife, now went to work for Yama.
Yama's philosophy is particularly attractive to these shikigami who have cold personalities and little ambition.
Finally, Fairyland's Fantasyland.
The establishment of Gensokyo was extremely cumbersome. Senki took over this task and summoned shikigami at any time to contribute.
This was an official matter arranged by Gu Yun, and no one had any complaints.
"Unknowingly, Shangluozhong's manpower is running low."
The purpose of going to Luozhong was to fight for Gu Yun's hegemony. However, as the wills of the world awakened one by one, this ideal has been realized.
Therefore, Hongye changed the direction of Shangluozhong's progress, from dominating the world to dominating the human world.
"Fortunately, we are not completely unavailable."
Like the Nura-gumi, Hagoromo Kitsune, the Tono family, the Soul Exorcist Association, etc., Momiji still has a lot of power that he can use.
