When Lyle arrives in Tokyo, it's already evening, so grab a bite to eat and find a cheap hotel for a night's rest.

Originally, Ru Ang planned to sleep under the covers, but before he could get in, he was dragged away by Xiao Ling, and followed the twelve gods to patrol the vicinity, and deliberately applied a concealment spell when patrolling to reduce the risk of causing unnecessary trouble.

As mentioned before, a large magic set up in an ancient era sent the world's energy to the moon seal, and it stands to reason that the average strength of the Adepts, curses, evil spirits, and youkai is weakening over time. But don't forget the other setting, the strength of the curse is directly proportional to the population, and Tokyo, which has the two honors of "No. 1 city with the largest population in the world" and "No. 1 city with the highest population density in the world", has the strongest curse in the world.

One subtraction and one increase, which one has the greatest impact...... Well, there is no need to investigate this at all, the population of the Tokyo metropolitan area of 13.92 million, the population of the Tokyo metropolitan area of 37 million, far exceeds the population of Kyoto during the Heian period, and the question to be investigated is how much the curse has become stronger. If Tokyo really has turned into a terrifying cave, they will have to convince Lyle to move his nest for anything.

It seems somewhat ruthless, but they really only care about Lyle. The rest of the things are mundane, and the elves have long been accustomed to watching from the sidelines, and at most, when they live in the spirit world, they respond to specific spells and remotely support the power of human exorcism.

Fortunately, the results of the investigation are not bad, and it is normal to not encounter an S-class curse, as long as it is not a situation where A-level walks all over the ground and B-level is as many as dogs.

When Lyle woke up the next morning, the twelve gods had returned to the spirit realm, leaving only Xiao Ling and Ru Ang to accompany him. The three of them had breakfast, took a bus to Bunkyo District, and after arriving at the station, they changed to a taxi and went directly to the address left by the partner.

“…… The price level in Tokyo is terrible. Lyle, who has been living in the village for all these years, has a deep sense of the regional income gap from the cost of transportation, and the savings left by his grandfather are not as durable as he imagined.

Ru Ang, who was wearing a female OL costume, jumped out and said: "It's just money, leave this problem to me, master~"

"No, not to the point where you need to take illegal measures." Lyle also knew that Ruang's solution to the money problem would definitely not be in the dark.

When the mountains and rivers are exhausted, Lyle will not cling to the rules, but when it is not in that situation, he will not mess around, and the teachings of the twelve gods will still leave an impact.

"Wait a minute, be quiet, and let me negotiate with the other party." Lyle commanded, pulled out the flip phone he had inherited from his grandfather from his pocket, dialed his partner's number, and told him that he had arrived at the meeting point.

About five minutes later, a handsome young man with lazy eyes rushed out of the alley on his bicycle and stopped with a dashing tail flick in front of the three of them.

"Lyle?" Shenwei already knew that his partner was a recent junior high school graduate, so he was not surprised by his height and age, but he was more concerned, "I didn't hear that there would be two more women...... Hmm, is it a humanoid god? Are you an emissary? ”

After all, he is a psychic person, and if he looks at it carefully, he can see some signs.

"Even though they are Shikigami, I only think they are maids, and I myself am a mage of destruction." Lyle flipped up with his left palm, creating a small spinning tornado of water blades. Fly Lu

It's a better way to show off its prowess than the most common fireballs, not everyone can control water into a steady jagged flake, and not everyone can accelerate the blade to a speed that can cut through metal.

"Is it a magician from Europe......? It's the first time I've met it. Kamui looked at the water blade tornado curiously, thought about it, and couldn't help but remind, "You seem to be much stronger than I expected, do you really want to partner with me?" If you are in a hurry to ask for a sum of money, you can go to work at the Ministry of the Environment, as long as you can spell in, it will be an ace immediately, and I heard that it will be equipped with high-end apartments. If you don't need money so much, I recommend applying to the Tokyo Metropolitan Onmyojutsu College to communicate with each other to improve your skills. ”

Lyle lifted the water blade tornado, shook his head and politely rejected the other party's proposal: "No, Mr. Kamui, this is the way out that my grandfather asked someone to find before he died, if I can, I still hope to go on." ”

“…… Is that so? Shenwei sighed lightly, turned over and got out of the car, and stretched out his palm, "Then give me a lot of advice, there is no need for honorific titles, I don't want to listen to honorific titles from people who are stronger than me every day." ”

"No problem, Kamui." Lyle was as good as a stream, and introduced his maid by the way, "This is Xiao Lu, this is Ru Ang, because it has only been summoned for two days, and he is not very familiar with this era, which may cause a lot of farce, but I will restrain them as much as possible." ”

Ru Ang hugged Lyle's arm and said: "Master~ Those were all Xiao Lan's fault before~"

"Huh......! Miss Ruang?! Xiao Ling was stunned.

Of course, with such clumsy acting skills, as long as you are not a fool, you can see which side is the evil girl, and even Shenwei, who has met for less than three minutes, looks at Ru Ang with disgust.

"Ahem," Lyle coughed dryly, knowing the past karma between Xiao Ling and Ruang, he had no intention of reprimanding Ruang for this, and changed the subject, "Is there anything you should pay attention to about the work of the soul slayer?" As I said on the phone before, I have always lived in the village and have never been in contact with the inner world. ”

"Let's talk while we walk, and let's go and see if the firm I fancy is suitable." Kamui pushed his bicycle in the direction of the alley where he came, and lazily introduced, "As the name suggests, the work of a soul slayer is to accept commissions, and collect commissions after removing spirits, since you are new to Tokyo, I will complete the work of publicity and finding customers in the early stage, so you should first familiarize yourself with life here." ”

Lyle didn't feel that he needed an adaptation period, I don't know why, he didn't come to Tokyo at all without the surprise of Grandma Liu's entry into the Grand View Garden, as if he had experienced a similar or even even more urban life, but Xiao Ling and Ru Ang said another, and couldn't help but say: "Saved." ”

Shenwei continued, "Some customers are just their own heart disease, they don't need to remove their spirits at all, and they don't take money if they don't work, this is my creed. On the contrary, there are also some customers who do not respect our work, and we don't want to pay for it after work, you can show him the water saw blade just now...... Just don't be too public, in principle, we can't let the public know about the existence of the world. ”

"Is this the basic rule of the inner world?" Lyle raised an eyebrow.

"That's it...... By the way, forgot to say the most important thing. Kamui stopped, turned his head to look Lyle up and down, "Originally, I wanted to use you as an assistant, but now it seems that it is completely possible to separate the work content directly - in the future, I will be responsible for the curses and evil spirits of women, and you will be responsible for the curses and evil spirits of men." ”

“？？？”

Is there still sexism in addition to the spirits?
