Chapter 297 Glaze

After entering Chiyoda District, the car turned left and right, and finally entered a large area surrounded by private residences.

In the parking lot inside, I changed to another car. The driver was a demon hunter with magical powers. He seemed to know me and greeted me politely with a smile.

"Long time no see, Higashino-kun."

Higashino Yu looked at the demon hunter in front of him and pondered for a moment: "You are from Momogo-kun-"

"Yoshida Kazuto."

"Mr. Yoshida, it's been a long time since we last met. Why did you come to be a driver?" Higashino Yu was a little curious. Is the Jinguji family so extravagant? All demon hunters with cultivation have to be drivers.

Yoshida Kazuto opened the car door for Higashino Yu: "The head of the family attaches great importance to your first visit, so he sent me down. Please sit down. I will take you to the Jinguji main family later."

Jinguji Hiiragi Jing and others also got in the car. She was a little distracted and seemed to be thinking about the question just now.

After the car started, we followed the path in the residence into the courtyard, as if entering another world, and the noisy urban atmosphere was gradually blocked out.

As we went deeper, bright light shone down, the road became wider, and the high-rise buildings that were originally visible around us disappeared for some reason. Instead, there were extremely beautiful scenery of wilderness and mountains, and farmers working in the fields, as if we had traveled back to the Edo period.

"Are we outside the curtain of the world?"

Asumi Sanae turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window, and suddenly showed a nostalgic look. The side of her face that was exposed was like a veil called a dream under the light and shadow. The ice-blue eyes turned into a blue that seemed to be filled with moonlight under the light. The aura that had always been there seemed to melt and become more gentle.

It gave people a feeling that could be seen but not touched.

She seemed different today.

Higashino Yu looked back from the co-pilot seat, but it was not surprising to think that she did occasionally show her emotional side.

Then he used his magic power to look around, "Is it an illusion?"

"It's not an illusion, Higashino Nissan." Kaori answered sweetly: "Let Sister Hiiragi answer this question!"

As she said this, she pulled her cousin's kimono collar to prevent her from getting entangled in the question of monsters and humans and saying something bad in the end.

Jinguji Hiiragi was interrupted from thinking, and looked out the window. She remembered that Higashino Yu and Asumimi Sanae were both visiting the mansion for the first time, and as the host, she had the responsibility to explain it.

So she introduced it to Higashino Yu and Asumimi Sanae.

"Do you remember the Taoxiang mentioned last time?"

Higashino Yu was thoughtful. Is it a paradise? He was quite surprised. Does the human demon exorcist family have such a background?

As if seeing Higashino Yu's surprise, Jinguji Hiiragi shook his head slightly.

"It's just a place similar to the fairyland, but the difference is huge. This is a place where our ancestor accidentally saved a god who was playing in the human world. In order to repay the favor, the god gave it to our family as a place to stay as a thank you gift."

"It is far inferior to Taoxiang in terms of scale and abundance of spiritual energy. It only covers an area of ​​about 15,000 square meters. After building the mansion, there is not much space left. The family tried to open up some medicinal fields to plant some spiritual herbs, but the harvest was very poor, which is better than nothing."

"But as a place to stay, it is very safe and helped the Jinguji family avoid several disasters of extermination."

Tomorrow Seeing Sanae looking at this paradise that seemed unaffected by time, she looked curious: "Then where I went before-"

"It's also here, but enter through another door, and after crossing the door is the interior of the mansion."

"Is that why you can't see these views?"

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami was also a little speechless when she heard her talk about this, and looked at her calmly: "When you and Ruri came to my house as a child, didn't you wonder why you couldn't see tall buildings?"

Ashihiro saw Sanae was stunned for a second, and the noble princess-like temperament naturally enveloped her, and she raised her head slightly: "At that time, my sister and I were exploring the mysteries of this world."

Ruri? Sister?

When did Sanae have a sister? Higashino Yu was stunned by what he heard next to him, and looked at the two girls in confusion: "Ruri. Who is that?"

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami saw that Higashino Yu was obviously unaware, and felt a little strange. These two people have known each other for so long, and they haven't introduced them to their families?

She looked at Asumi Sanae: "You and Ayu have never talked about Liuli?"

"When we find her, it won't be too late to introduce her." Asumi Sanae answered calmly.

Jinguji Hiiragi frowned and wanted to say something, but when she saw that the girl had turned her head and didn't want to continue the topic, she sighed.

A good friend was abducted by human traffickers?

This was the first thought that came to Higashino Yu's mind, but she remembered that since she met Asumi Sanae, she had been looking for monsters.

Could it be that it was not only because of her interest in monsters, but also related to this Miss Liuli? Was she taken away by a monster?

If it was a kind monster, it would be okay, at most she would experience a journey like Alice in Wonderland or Spirited Away, but if it was a demon.

Higashino Yu remembered Hanako's experience. If she encountered a demon, I'm afraid that Miss Liuli would not have a good outcome.

After all, she was a friend of a very close friend, and Higashino Yu would not hesitate to help if he could.

So he asked with some concern: "Sanae, has Miss Liuli gone missing recently?"

Tomorrow saw Sanae turning to look at him with a calm expression, not knowing what she was thinking.

Look what I'm doing. I'm looking for someone. It's rare that I want to take the initiative to help you. Can you be more serious?

Dong Yeyu frowned: "You don't believe in my ability? When it comes to finding someone, I think I'm pretty good at it. Do you have any underwear that Miss Liuli has worn?"

"Underwear?" Shiori was stunned for a second, and suddenly realized: "Oh! Higashino Nissan, do you want to use it to smell-"

Before she finished speaking, Kaori covered her sister's mouth with a dark face. "Stupid sister, Yoshida-san is still here, how can you tell Higashino Nissan's secret!"

Brain: It's your turn, Nose.

Nose: Do you think of me now?

Brain: Not going, right? Then don't show up again.

Nose: No, brother, I have a professional fox nose for 16 years. Is it a beautiful girl? I will smell it——

What the hell!

Dong Yeyu quickly stopped the little theater in his head. Is this really his inner demon?

Tomorrow saw Sanae leaning forward slightly and asked seriously: "Your Excellency Knight, this is a secret about the Moon Witch. Do you really want to know?"

"Once you know the witch's secret, you have no choice but to leave."

Everyone has been lost, why are you still talking about secrets here when you don’t have anyone to find, what’s wrong with you?

The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is, right? Does Miss Liuli have a grudge against you?

Dong Yeyu was speechless: "Human life is at stake, can you please tell me quickly?"

"I will enlighten you at the right moment." She just smiled mysteriously.

Dong Yeyu looked at her expressionlessly, a little angry. Do you think this is cool and witchy?

Is Sanae someone who has such disregard for life?

Higashino Yu frowned and looked at Jinguji Hiiragi mirror.

The girl pursed her lips slightly: "It's up to her to tell you this matter herself. I can only tell you that things are not what you think. Liuli can't be found."

Is there another reason for the matter? Dong Yeyu pondered in his heart and nodded, accepting this explanation.

The car quickly drove to the end and stopped beside a huge mansion built with white walls and black tiles. The gate was very grand.

"This is the east gate and the main entrance of the Jinguji clan. In order to welcome you, the master specially allows you to enter from here as a mark of respect."

After parking the car, Yoshida Kazuto took Higashino Yu and others to the gate and introduced a few words, and then bowed deeply: "Young master will guide you on the next road. I take my leave."

Probably feeling the solemnity of the atmosphere, Higashino Yu also became serious and returned the gift together with Asami Sanae.

"Please follow me, two guests."

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami seemed to have no longer recognized Higashino Yu and Asami Sanae, and his demeanor suddenly became distant and polite. He led the two people into Jinguji's house with light and slow steps, and Kaori Shiori followed closely. .

The Jinguji Family Courtyard is quite large, completely different from the Iori Family Courtyard of Xiaojiabiyu, and adopts a majestic and majestic style.

The architectural style seems to be that of a dormitory building. It was a super large mansion that only the upper-class nobles of the ancient island country could afford.

There are not only the bedrooms where the main family lives, but also the main hall used for ceremonies or singing and dancing performances to entertain guests, as well as a series of supporting corridors and halls.

Looking from a distance, there is an open courtyard and pond in front of the main hall. There are exquisite staggered arch bridges over the pond, and lotus leaves and lotus plants are planted in the pond.

The winding road almost made Dong Yeyu faint. On the way, he met many demon exterminators, both men and women, old and young, and some were acquaintances whom he had met in Taoxiang. They all greeted each other politely.

Wouldn't this mansion house everyone from the Jinguji family?

Dong Yeyu walked around for a long time and suddenly looked at the three Gong Temple sisters with some pity. Living with a large family of relatives would not be comfortable.

No wonder Kaori Shiori always likes to hang out at my place.

Thinking this way, Jinguji Hiiragi opened a shoji door, walked into a place similar to a closed corridor, climbed the steps, and then opened a door.

"This is the main palace. My father is waiting for you inside."

When Jinguji Hiiragi said this, he glanced at Higashino Yu, and then looked at Asami Sanae for a moment.

"Did you really tell me in advance that you were coming to visit?"

"Yeah." Tomorrow saw Sanae nodding slightly, choosing to believe in the wisdom of the old man in the family.

"Then please wait here for a moment, Higashino-kun, please come in."

Jinguji Hiiragi said, slowly pushing open the shoji door, Higashino Yu followed him and walked in, his vision suddenly opened up.

The front hall faces a wide courtyard. The door is now open, and the interior is quite bright. Jinguji Nobuyoshi is kneeling at the head of the room, and beside him is a noble lady wearing a bright kimono, who is his wife.

On the right hand side, kneeling down, there is a row of demon slayers wearing the Jinguji family's pattern of feathers. There are both men and women, and they are generally quite young. The youngest one looks to be in his forties, and the older ones may not be there. He is about seventy or eighty years old, with silver hair, but he is in good spirits.

As soon as there was movement at the gate of the crossing hall, everyone turned their heads and looked over, their eyes scrutinizing.

What does this mean? Am I a guest or am I here to be judged?

Higashino Yu stood there stunned for a second, feeling something bad in his heart. He subconsciously looked at the teacup next to Xinyi of Jinguji Temple. He would not throw the cup as a sign later, but five hundred swordsmen and axes were pouring up from the back hall, right?

"Father, elders, Higashikata-kun is here."

Jinguji Xinyi looked at the elders of each family, smiled, and stretched out his hand to indicate the seat closest to him on the left hand side: "The arrival of distinguished guests really makes this humble house shine. Please take a seat."

Jinguji Hiiragi tugged on Higashinoyu's sleeves, and the two of them bowed slightly, and then she led Higashinoyu to the left hand side of Jinguji Xinyi, where he was the first guest - he was the only guest.

Jinguji Hiiragi then sat back to the left behind her father.

Jinguji Xinyi first smiled and exchanged greetings with Higashino Yu, asking about trivial matters such as the ride experience on the way here.

Then he introduced to everyone:

"As you all have seen, this is the young talent from Kanto who fought bravely against demons in the Battle of Peach Township and saved my daughter, younger brothers, sisters-in-law, nieces, and even many backbones of the Jingu Temple family, Higashino. Yu.”

How come I am from Guandong? Dong Yeyu was stunned for a moment, but he was not interested in the dispute between Kanto and Kansai, so he did not correct him.

As for young talents, if you are not considered a talent, then who can be?

Dong Yeyu still had some confidence in this, so he accepted the title.

After listening to what he said, the others did not rush to speak, but all bowed to Dong Yeyu.

Higashino Yu glanced at Miyadera Hiiragi.

She looked intently, with a calm expression. She didn't seem to see her questioning gaze, and just nodded slightly.

Dong Yeyu then followed the other person's example and returned the courtesy.

"Previously, I came to thank you with my wife and daughter, but Mr. Dongye has a gentle temperament, like jade, and has the demeanor of an ancient gentleman. He was not treated with great courtesy and only accepted some small gifts. We had no choice but to return. But after returning, Si Lai I want to go, but I always feel uneasy. How can the Jinguji family treat their benefactor so slowly? "

Some older people nodded slightly. They saved so many people in my family and only let them live in small houses. It was really a bit like sending beggars away. If I tell others, others would think that my Jinguji family regards wealth as life.

Others had expressionless faces and didn't know if they were listening, while others looked at Higashino Yu very rudely.

It seems that the Jinguji family is not of the same mind.

Dong Yeyu was sitting opposite them and observing. This was normal. In ordinary people's families, several brothers would have conflicts. What's more, such a large family has been passed down for so many years, and there are more than a dozen large and small demon slayers gathered under the family. It is normal for the master family to have factions.
