Chapter 15 The Good Fortune of Iijima Ring
"You're able to use spells so quickly?"
When she heard the snail evaluate Gu Yun as a genius who was 'once in a thousand years', her mother was also honored.
It's just too fast, isn't it?
Her mother came from the Iijima family, and she was exposed to supernatural events since she was a child.
So she knows very well how big the gap between being able to see demons and monsters and being able to cast spells is.
Just like her, no matter how hard she tries, she can't learn spells.
In the entire Iijima family, except for his grandfather, only Kai Iijima has that kind of power.
"Learned a lot of spells."
Gu Yun smiled and said, "I can show it to my mother." ”
Iijima can see demons, and naturally he can also see the spells cast by Gu Yun, but for others, it is a little troublesome.
Unless a three-tailed fox with a physical body like the god is allowed to appear, others will only regard Gu Yun as a middle and second disease.
"Sounds amazing."
Mother didn't stop it, in her opinion, practicing spells was just a hobby for Gu Yun.
It's like someone likes baseball, someone likes kendo.
"That's right."
Gu Yun said, "Mother, have you ever heard of Zashiki Boy? ”
"I've heard of it."
"The area around Iwate Prefecture is famous, right?"
As she drove, her mother said, "It's like a house spirit who can bring good luck." ”
"What are you asking for?"
"I took in a Zashiki boy."
"Huh?"
The mother was stunned for a moment, she was a little incredulous: "That Zashiki boy? It's true? ”
"Hmm."
Gu Yun said: "She is my Shishen. ”
"I want to ask her to become the little god of good fortune of the Iijima family, and help your mother in your career and prosperity."
Mother is a strong woman, the kind that is very self-motivated.
If Zashiki Boy can really shelter their family, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing.
Some people may ask, isn't Iijima Huan afraid of ghosts?
This is actually the cultural background of Japan.
In many cases, the gods and youkai are not separated from each other and communicate with each other.
Mother is treating the Zashiki boy as a god.
"Is it safe?"
"Don't worry, it's very safe."
Zashiki Boy is not a Thai ghost Kuman Tong, she was originally Gu Yun's Shikami.
"So what do I need to do?"
The mother asked a little nervously, "Build a shrine?" ”
"No, no, as long as you agree, mother."
In fact, there is no need for Iijima Kan to agree, because the good fortune of Zashiki boy is her ability in itself.
The reason why Gu Yun told his mother was that he didn't want to hide it from her and did it privately.
He was also prepared for his mother's refusal.
Fortunately, for a lucky elf like Zashiki Boy, most Japanese people still like and desire it subjectively.
"Jingle Bell~~"
The next moment when the Zashiki boy completed the binding of good luck, his mother's mobile phone rang.
It's the early 90s, and mobile phones are starting to gain popularity in Japan.
I saw my mother pick up the PHS handheld phone, which in Gu Yun's opinion, was simply old-fashioned and unimaginable.
"Moxi Moxi, this is Iijima."
"Huh? So fast? ”
"Well, well, okay, that's troublesome Mr. Murakami."
Gu Yun watched the process of his mother's phone call, in less than 1 minute, his face changed from surprise to surprise.
Fortunately, Iijima is a beauty.
Beauty, even if it's Yanyi, it's good.
"Scoop one."
Turning off the call, the mother turned back in surprise: "Zashiki boy, high school one!" ”
She didn't have much hope for that plan.
Because she invited the other party several times, and the other side always made perfunctory remarks, she almost rejected her.
But even my mother didn't expect that the peak would turn around.
The other party decided to support her mother and completely take control of a large company, which also means that their Iijima family's career has taken another big step forward.
Obviously, the mother thought of this sudden success with what Gu Yun said about Zashiki Boy.
"It's my mother's own effort."
Gu Yun explained the ability of the boy to his mother.
The essence of Zashiki's ability is that it can be rewarded to the greatest extent.
But the premise is that the mother herself has to work hard.
"In other words, if you want to get a high score, you have to study seriously first?"
Mother knew this, she was not a person who liked to get something for nothing.
The good fortune of Zashiki Boy not only does not make her sit and wait, but is like an encouragement, inspiring her to forge ahead and create brilliance again.
Kan Iijima used to be a strong woman, but in this country, the position of women is extremely awkward.
Fortunately, my mother is an entrepreneur.
Because of his grandfather's profession as a snail horror novel writer on Iijima, my mother was able to get in touch with the publishing industry.
Before Gu Yun was born, his mother already had a publishing house and many properties under her name.
Later, when the economic crisis broke out, my mother adopted Gu Yun's suggestion and sold all the properties in advance, thus collecting a batch of funds, and when other companies and enterprises went bankrupt, she not only survived the difficulties, but also took several steps up.
Today's Iijima family is in Tokyo, and I dare not say that I have a head and a face, but I can be regarded as an upper-class person.
"But Zashiki boy is really good."
The mother explained the phone call to Gu Yun just now: "I recently acquired a large publishing house, Gu Yun, you know. ”
"Hmm."
Gu Yun sat in the passenger seat and nodded: "Succeeded?" ”
"If nothing else."
Mother is happy that if this time is successful, her career will be able to go further.
A few years ago, the Iijima family had only one medium-sized publishing house, but now, my mother has more than a dozen companies under her name.
She started out as a publishing house, so she is most familiar with the industry.
Not long ago, there was a big scandal in the top management of a super-large publishing house, and my mother took a decisive move to buy shares.
Although the size of the Iijima family is not large, the liquidity in hand has become extremely considerable because of the overseas investment over the years.
It's a pity that things in the mall don't only depend on who has more money, but also on interests and favors.
The transaction is not as simple as it seems.
In the words of the previous failed plans, those people told their mothers: 'The Iijima family is not qualified to meddle in this matter.' ’
"Hmph, those guys, what celebrities, Chinese, they say nicely."
My mother drove the car and complained, "It's not that they think of us as nouveau riche. ”
Gu Yun didn't care much about this.
Because they are not wrong, their family is originally a nouveau riche.
Compared with those families with a history of decades, or even nearly a hundred years, the Iijima family has survived for more than ten years.
"There's no way around it," Gu Yun said, "The Iijima family rose too fast, and it offended a lot of people because of it. ”
Seeing that his son understood these things at such a young age, Iijima Huan was unswerving in his son's idea that his son was a genius: "I must keep an eye on the old man, and I must not let him take my Xiaotani Yun badly!" ’
"Do you need me to curse them?"
"Huh?"
The sudden voice startled her mother, and she almost reflexively stepped on the brakes: "What sound?" Who's talking? Phantom? ”
"It's my Shikigami, Prajna."
"Prajna?"
Mother's eyes were full of surprise: "You still have Shikijin?" How many Shikigami are there? Is it another elf like Zashiki Boy? ”
"Uh..."
Gu Yun scratched his cheeks, he didn't know how to explain, so he had to call: "Three-tailed fox, Pranya, Zashiki boy, you come out for a while." ”
"Yes, master."
The words fell, and three figures appeared in the back of the car.
Dressed in a kimono, a stunning demon fox like an oiran, a petite and cute girl with a fair-skinned ghost horn on her forehead, and a beautiful boy with a ghost mask on her head and a delicate porcelain doll.
"This..."
The mother pulled the car aside, then looked at the three figures behind her in surprise.
"Master Mother, the first time we met, the little girl three-tailed fox, please take care of me."
"Hello, I'm Prajna."
"Zashiki, the boy said~~"
The three gods, the three-tailed fox is generous, and the boy is quite well-behaved.
"Ah, hello, that, that's my name is Iijima Huan."
"Don't be so nervous, ma'am."
Xiaobai jumped out of the air, it landed in Gu Yun's arms, and said to his mother, "We will serve you as we serve Lord Gu Yun." ”
Taniyun is the master of the Shikigami and Iijima is his mother.
The ideas of Shikigami are biased towards ancient Japan, and the concepts of respect and humility and loyalty are almost engraved in their bones.
To make an analogy, if Gu Yun is the king in the eyes of the gods, then Iijima Huan is the queen mother, and she is quite a noble person.
"Is that so?"
For Shikigami, Iijima Huan is actually no stranger, and her younger brother Iijima Kai has many Shikigami.
Therefore, she may be afraid of demons, but she is not too afraid of Shikikami.
After all, whether it is because of her father or younger brother, she can be said to have grown up with demonic gods since she was a child.
Then the mother asked the gods to protect Gu Yun, which made the three-tailed fox wave his hand again and again, a little flattered: "It is our duty to protect the master, please rest assured." ”
"By the way, the curse I said earlier..."
"Hey."
Prajna replied softly and said, "Madam, you seem to hate some people, please rest assured, these people will be handed over to Prajna, I am still very confident in the curse." ”
"Wait, wait."
Iijima hurriedly asked, "Curse, curse refers to, that curse?" ”
Like the three-tailed fox, Prajna is also a demon.
But he is not a good kind.
Maybe in front of Gu Yun and Iijima Huan, Pranya is a shy little boy, but this is limited to his family and companions.
In fact, Pranya is an evil youkai that can absorb resentment and manipulate curses.
When dealing with the enemy, Prajna can take the life of the other person without changing his face, and let the other person taste all the pain and suffering of the human world before he dies.
'Good, so scary! ’
The mother looked at Praruo's face like a work of art, but a chill rose in her heart: "He is serious, not joking." ’
"Pranya, you scared my mother."
"Ah, I'm sorry."
Prajna lowered her head and said timidly, "I didn't mean to, madam. ”
"No, it's fine."
From Gu Yun, my mother learned the origin of this monster like Pranya.
Born in the Iijima family, his mother is no stranger to youkai.
"But the curse or something, it's not there yet."
Mother said that the matter in the mall, the king and the loser, she complained at most, and took people's lives if she didn't agree, which was really a bit too much.
"Is that so?"
Praruo doesn't understand very well, but he is very obedient, and since neither the master nor the master asks for it, then he will not act on his own.
"Whew~~"
The mother breathed a sigh of relief, and through getting along, she found that Prajna seemed to be very talkative.
There are also many shikigami of Iijima snails, but those are either beast-shaped or strange-shaped monsters, such as the three-tailed fox, Zashiki boy, and Pranya, and my mother has seen them for the first time.
And compared to those Shikigami, it's obviously the youkai in the house who are cuter.
At least my mother wasn't afraid of them, but on the way home, she talked to them very much.
The three-tailed fox is generous, and the boy is lively and cute, although he is shy, he is particularly polite.
"Since it's Kotani's Shikigami, then we're a family."
Mother has long been accustomed to living with monsters, and she is afraid of demons that may harm Gu Yun.
Of course, a non-human like Xiaobai...
Well, the mother still doesn't like the fox dog like Xiaobai.
"Xiaobai is so lost."
Finding that her mother was still afraid of herself, Xiaobai's eyes were tearful, showing a crying expression, and the three-tailed fox they provoked laughed.
