"Forty-Nine" Request
"Smack." The crisp sound of falling children sounded in the reception room of the Sakurai family.
"It seems like it's been a while since we've sat down and talked like this." After falling, Mamoru Sakurai said.
It was a long time after Mamoru Sakurai's words fell, and the crisp sound of the falling chess pieces sounded on the chessboard again.
"Hmm." Shen Yin responded perfunctorily.
"Smack." The crisp voice sounded again, and this time after the fall of the piece, Mamoru Sakurai took a chess piece from Kamihi.
Kamikure's brows furrowed slightly, and he glared at Mamoru Sakurai silently.
"You went to the cemetery today, and you came back later than expected." Mamoru Sakurai ignored Kami's glare and said calmly.
"Hmm." Shen Yin replied perfunctorily, and his tone was a little more impatient.
The pieces landed heavily on the board and made a clicking sound.
"You saw the tombstone of Ah Yi and Xing."
"Sort of."
"Mr. Shenyin, the old man wants to solemnly thank you here."
"Every year on this day, Xiaochun misses her parents very much, but in front of us, she pretends to be nothing, and that strength makes the old man and me very heartbroken."
"But today, with you by her side, the smile on her face when she came back was very beautiful, no longer the forced smile she used to be, and I am very grateful to you for being able to accompany my granddaughter today." Mamoru Sakurai said gratefully.
said that he was grateful, but the movements in his hands were not merciful, and he directly took away the last chess piece on the Shenyin chessboard.
“……”
"Is that how you express your gratitude?" Kamikure asked after looking at Mamoru Sakurai after a moment of silence.
"Hehehe, gratitude is one thing, playing chess is another, how can I deliberately release water if the chess game is like a battlefield." Mamoru Sakurai smoothed his beard and smiled kindly.
The green tendons on the door of Kami's head were beating, and Mamoru Sakurai won seven games in a row with this light and breezy appearance, and he 'shaved his head' in each set. (Shaved head refers to eating all the pieces except for the checker or handsome first, and then the check.) )
"Ahem, Mr. Shenyin, it's not too early." Yan Xian, who was on the side, saw that the two of them had plans to play another game, and he coughed lightly and reminded.
"Oh...... Yes, I have something I want to tell you about you. Shen Yin rubbed his eyebrows and adjusted his mood before saying.
Originally, Kamigakure had something important to talk about when he found Sakurai Mamoru but under the anger of losing in a row, he forgot about it for the time being.
"Regarding what you just said, as a guardian, I need to be by her side, and you don't need to."
"After all, it's a troublesome ......" Shen Yin glanced at the coffee table next to him, which was piled up with all kinds of exquisite desserts, and it was easy to feel the heart inside.
An old man unabashedly thanked him, which was embarrassing.
"Hehehe, Mr. Kamikure is still a shy person." Mamoru Sakurai quipped with a smile.
Kami's face flushed slightly, and he glared at Mamoru Sakurai in annoyance.
"Seriously."
Shen Yin's expression became solemn, and he told Sakurai Mamoru and Yan Xian's chief housekeeper about the formation encountered in the cemetery today.
After hearing that there was a demon slayer arranging the formation in that cemetery, Mamoru Sakurai's expression instantly became terrifying.
"Yan Xian." Mamoru Sakurai said in a flat tone.
"In charge, I'll ......" Hearing Mamoru Sakurai shouting his name, Yan Xian immediately knelt on the ground and said in fear.
However, before he could finish his sentence, the terrifying gravity instantly pressed on him, making him tremble all over his body and his legs couldn't help but tremble.
I can't imagine that a person with the image of an amiable old grandfather can be so terrible when he is angry.
Kamikure's heart sank, he didn't even see when Mamoru Sakurai cast the spell.
Mamoru Sakurai drank the tea calmly, but the gravity exerted on Yan Xian's body became stronger and stronger, and the joints on Yan Xian's body even made a clicking sound.
"That's enough." With a wave of his hand, Shen Yin eliminated the spell that had been applied to Yan Xian.
Mamoru Sakurai looked at Shen Yin with a faint look in his eyes, and Shen Yin looked at him not to be outdone.
"Okay, since Mr. Shenyin has interceded for you, then this time it's over, and you still don't thank Mr. Shenyin?"
"Thank you, Mr. Kamikure, for interceding for me."
Chief housekeeper Yan Xian staggered up from the ground, and saw an old man in his sixties so embarrassed, Shen Yin felt a little unbearable in his heart.
"It's just a trivial matter, there's no need to punish the chief butler." Shen Yin nodded at Yan Xian, and then looked at Mamoru Sakurai and said.
Having said that, this guy Mamoru Sakurai is really much more terrifying than he imagined, Kamikure thought to himself.
"Mr. Kamikure, you don't know, that cemetery is actually an extremely important place for our Sakurai family."
"The tombs of the heads of the previous generations are hidden in different places in the cemetery, and the other party dares to do such a thing in the cemetery, which is undoubtedly a provocation to our clan."
"I handed over the security of the cemetery to Yan Xian, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen." Mamoru Sakurai rubbed his tightly locked brows, disappointed more at the butler's fault than angry at him.
Sure enough, Yan Xian is also old......
After 'he' left, the "Sakurai" family was indeed a little green and yellow, and there was no successor...... Mamoru Sakurai sighed in his heart.
"Actually, this is not a mistake on the part of Yan Xian's housekeeper, the opponent's formation skills are extremely exquisite, and there is no spiritual power fluctuation in the formation involved, until the formation triggers me, I don't realize the opponent's move." Shen Yin explained for Yan Xian's chief housekeeper.
If it weren't for the fact that the spiritual power around him was too clean and there was not the slightest demonic energy, Shen Yin would not have noticed that something was wrong.
Sakurai Mamoru frowned slightly, a formation that can make it difficult for the gods to detect, then the other party does have some ability.
However, the formation is also a relatively profound skill among all kinds of spells, and even the demon slayer who can master the formation layout of the "Sakurai" family is a minority.
To be able to cultivate such a demon slayer who is good at arranging formations, could it be someone from that family? Mamoru Sakurai thought to himself.
Sakurai Mamoru glanced at Yan Xian, although he didn't speak, Yan Xian already understood what he meant.
"Mr. Shenyin, we will deal with this person by ourselves, once we find this person, we will definitely make him pay." A flash of murderous intent flashed in Mamoru Sakurai's eyes.
Although he was calm on the surface, he could vaguely feel the anger in his heart.
Kamikure doesn't care about Mamoru Sakurai's decision, and it is the job of a "manager" to search for troublemakers anyway.
Shen Yin grabbed one of the chess pieces on the chessboard and kneaded it in his hand, and asked after being silent for a long time.
"Is the situation of the Sakurai family okay lately?"
"I thought Mr. Kamikure didn't care about these things." Mamoru Sakurai said in surprise.
You know, in all this time, Shen Yin has never asked about these things.
"After all, now that even Sakurai Haru is being targeted by the other party, it is impossible for me to ignore it anymore." Shen Yin said flatly.
"It's just a small fight now, and it wouldn't be difficult if I had any intention of suppressing it, but ......"
"A month is too short, and the fire is not burning enough." Mamoru Sakurai took a sip of his teacup and said something meaningful.
Kamigakure looked at Mamoru Sakurai and frowned, thinking in his heart, if the fire is too strong, it will set itself on fire......
"Does Yuan Gongming have any grudges against you, in order to fish him out, he actually wants to push the entire family to the limelight." Kamikure asked, if he believed that Mamoru Sakurai had done such a thing to help him.
Yuan Gongming may be the public enemy of the demon exterminator, but there is no direct contradiction with the Sakurai family, and Sakurai Mamoru can't help him like this.
"You're trying to fish out of the deep realm, and I'm trying to fish out the shadows in the shadows, and the purpose of the two of us is actually the same."
Speaking of this, Mamoru Sakurai stopped, and his face was a little more gloomy.
I saw him stare at the floating leaves in the teacup for a while before continuing.
"And if I don't get rid of Kagena, I can't pass on the position of "master" to Koharu with peace of mind."
"Boss, this ......"
"It's okay, Mr. Kamikure is his own person, so it's okay to tell him." Mamoru Sakurai waved his hand, indicating that it didn't matter.
"Mr. Shenyin, I am asking you to become Sakurai Haru's right hand and support her to become the next leader before you succeed in taking revenge on Yuan Gongming, as long as Xiaochun succeeds in this position, my clan will be grateful." Mamoru Sakurai suddenly asked solemnly.
