A week later, in early spring, it was drizzling. Fortunately, the temperature turned warmer, so Gu Yun's little hand holding the umbrella was only slightly cold.

The two figures walked on the flying stones in the courtyard, and the mother behind them told Hayasaka Nao again and again that she must take good care of Gu Yun.

"Two beautiful sisters, can you hurry up?"

Gu Yun stood behind the gate and was quite speechless to the two women: "I have told you many times that I will not run away with the old man. You have to believe me."

In this way, under the nagging of her mother, Hayasaka Nao took Gu Yun into the car and headed to the countryside.

"I'm about to meet that old Mr. Iijima," Hayasaka Nao said, "I'm a little nervous."

"It's okay, Nao-san."

Gu Yun said: "Grandpa is a writer, you can just call him Mr. Iijima."

"Isn't this too rude?"

The other person is Tamaki Iijima's father, and the Iijima family has no male relatives.

To put it this way, Iijima Snail is the oldest member of the Iijima family that Hayasaka Nao can think of.

Such a highly respected person must have accumulated prestige for a long time.

"Ha ha."

Gu Yun smiled and said, "Stay a little longer."

"The old man is not the stubborn old man you think. He is very easy to talk to."

"Yes, really..."

So, amid Hayasaka Nao's worries, the car drove from Tokyo to the town where Iijima's hometown is, and her grandfather also waited in front of the woods outside the old house in advance. When he saw the car approaching, he waved.

"Grandpa~~"

"Xiao Guyun."

The old man held Gu Yun's hand and at the same time felt the spiritual power in his body, and exclaimed: "It's really amazing. I haven't seen him for just a few days, and my spiritual power has increased so much."

"Now Gu Yun, even without borrowing the power of the shikigami, can try to defeat lower-level demons."

"No, it's not that far yet."

Gu Yun knew his situation. Although his spiritual power was close to the lower level, in order to really fight, level and experience were indispensable.

The enemy will not be stupid and wait for him to cast various spells.

"That's why we need shikigami."

Grandpa was not encouraging Gu Yun to challenge the demon in a duel, but he was using this to tell him that as a warlock, it was wise to let the shikigami stand in front while they attack from a distance from behind.

It would be foolish to want to use human flesh and blood to go head-to-head with monsters.

"Teacher Iijima."

"Who are you?"

Grandpa looked at the girl who came to Gu Yun's side after parking the car.

"This is Nao-san."

"Nao Hayasaka, the maid of the Iijima family."

Hayasaka Nao introduced herself to her grandfather: "Madam is worried about the young master going out alone, so..."

"Ah, I understand, I understand."

Grandpa did not look down upon the other person because of his identity. After all, Tamaki Iijima's Iijima family and his Iijima family were two completely different worlds.

Just because my mother is rich doesn't mean my grandfather is rich.

Even though my grandfather is not a poor writer, he doesn't have much money.

Of course, if he wanted to, just ask, and his mother would send the money over.

But Grandpa, how can he use the hard-earned money from his children?

He is satisfied to see his children grow up healthily and become better and better.

"Xiao Guyun is now the eldest son of a wealthy family."

Touching Gu Yun's head, Grandpa laughed. He really found it interesting.

The eldest young master feels like something from a novel. I never thought I could have one in my own family.

"But Xiaohuan is still the same, ha, it doesn't matter."

The old man naturally understood the purpose of Iijima Tamaki's sending the girl here. He smiled kindly and said, "Then you can come with us."

"Thank you for your consideration."

As Gu Yun said, grandpa is a very gentle elder.

The three of them had lunch at Iijima's old house, then packed up their things and set off for their destination.

They will stay out of town for two days this time.

In order to prevent Gu Yun from being able to come back, his mother has asked for a day off for him. It will be fine even if he doesn't come back on Monday.

From this point of view, although mother and grandfather are not dealing with each other, they are not without discussion.

"So where are we going and what are we going to do this time, grandpa?"

Hayasaka Nao continued to drive in front, while her grandfather and grandson were sitting in the back seat. They were going to the station in the county town, and then they needed to take a train to a place farther away.

"Um…"

Grandpa thought for a while and said, "In terms of the place, it's called Mizugawa."

"Then we have to take the Kitayoshikawa Line."

Hayasaka Nao suddenly spoke, which surprised Grandpa: "Nao-chan has been to that place?"

"No, but I know."

Hayasaka Nao's next words made both grandfather and grandson stunned: "I memorized all the stations on the map. Mizugawa should be a relatively remote rural village."

“…..”

After a while of silence, Grandpa praised him without realizing it: "Nao-chan is so awesome."

"Yes, the place we are going to is Mizukawa Village."

Grandpa explained to Gu Yun: "This time, it's actually an invitation from an old friend, asking me to come over and help strengthen the sealing barrier."

"Sealing barrier?"

Gu Yun asked, and Hayasaka Nao was also curious.

It was her first time coming into contact with the supernatural world, but she still had some basic judgment ability. For example, if there was a sealing barrier, it must be suppressing something.

"demon?"

Gu Yun asked Hayasaka Nao's question, but Grandpa shook his head and said, "It's not a demon, it's a spirit fox."

"Linghu!"

Next to Gu Yun, the figure of the three-tailed fox suddenly appeared, which startled him.

"Sister Fox, please say something before you come out."

Gu Yun asked: "Do you know Linghu?"

"certainly!"

The three-tailed fox seemed a little excited. She looked at her grandfather, who chuckled and said, "Miss three-tailed fox, she should be a fox demon, right?"

Spirit foxes and fox demons are both monsters transformed from foxes, but there are essential differences between them.

How to put it, it's like the same people, one was admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, and then reached the pinnacle of life.

The other one chose Haitian Feast, and although he also made a lot of money, the chain of contempt in it was clear at a glance.

"I've never seen a spirit fox before."

The three-tailed fox was extremely curious about that same species.

"So, what is a spirit fox?"

Hayasaka Nao is not a member of the circle, so she is not very clear about the concepts of spirit foxes and demon foxes.

"To put it simply, demon foxes, like Miss Three-Tailed Fox, use demon power."

"What the spirit fox uses is spiritual power."

Spiritual power is also called pure power, while demonic power is polluted spiritual power with attributes.

"Spiritual power can be used as a medium for any spell to transform the five elements, while demonic power can only be embodied in its own attributes. Fire is fire, water is water, and cannot be converted into each other."

Just like the three-tailed fox, her demon power attribute is biased toward the fire element, so her combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced in the water.

"I thought the spirit fox was a noble among fox demons, but it turns out that's the case."

"What Xiao Nao said is actually not wrong."
