II: Lily of the Valley
Chapter 104: Sound of Water
She is just an ordinary cute little fairy now~

"Gojo-san."

Yayoi paused, and she realized that this was not calling her, but it was indeed calling her, and the other person's target was indeed her.

"Do you need anything?" The woman dressed as a maid lowered her eyebrows and sat upright with her head bowed.

"No, please leave." Yayoi's voice was slightly cold, and the other person did not bother too much. She took possession of her luggage and retreated. Before leaving, the maid closed the door of the room.

Not long after the door was closed, it was opened again, and Satoru, who was carrying Yayoi's shell, walked in slowly, curling his lips and looking unhappy.

"Yayoi is so popular~" the white cat wearing a red fur shell said slyly.

"It's you who are popular." Yayoi corrected him.

They settled in Taito District, Tokyo, and stayed at an ordinary hotel in Asakusa. The room was covered with tatami mats, and bronze wind chimes jingled under the eaves. They sat on the low window sill and looked into the distance. The temples and pagodas stand tall, the ancient bells echo across time, echoed over the city, and the roofs were neatly arranged in sight.

"Would you like yokan?" Yayoi pushed the tea tray towards Satoru. The tea tray was brought over by the waiter, who specially made tea and prepared fresh kuri yokan.

"Eat." Satoru was as happy as a cat and jumped down from the window sill, without any trace of the haze caused by the transgender transition.

More than 150 years ago, Tokyo was still called Edo. In the fourth year of Keio (1868), the Edo shogunate fell, and Edo was renamed Tokyo, and the capital was moved to Tokyo.

In the 22nd year of Showa (1947), Shitaya Ward and Asakusa Ward merged and were renamed Taito Ward. Taito Ward was one of the 23 wards in Tokyo and was also the smallest ward among the special wards in Tokyo. Bordering the Sumida River to the east, Arakawa District to the west was mostly covered by farmland. Compared with other districts, the economy was underdeveloped. The natural river green space was the biggest feature and advantage.

Taito District had two prosperous business districts, Ueno and Asakusa.

This time’s destination was Asakusa, one of the two most prosperous business districts.

Asakusa was a bustling city centered on Senso-ji Temple. In the past, Asakusa was the largest bustling city in Edo and was known as the place of joy. Yoshiwara, which was openly allowed to operate during the Edo period, was also located here. From officials and nobles to merchants and wandering women, they linger around.

The 1-chome of Edo-cho, Shin-Yoshiwara, Taito-ku was the former site of Yoshiwara. After 1966, it was changed to the Senzoku 4-chome, Taito-ku. After the implementation of the custom business prohibition law, there were still many "special areas" in this area.

There were three Buddha statues in the "Three Ages of Buddhism". The one that disappeared from Soma's house was the "Future Buddha" and was also the Maitreya Buddha widely known to the world.

When the causes and conditions were ripe, he would be reborn in the human world from the Tushita Temple of Heaven, and the Buddha's throne would be inaugurated by Shakyamuni Tathagata. At that time, at that time, in Jambudvīpa, the Saha world, there would be a winged-headed final city, and its king would be named Chakravartin. Maitreya would be entrusted with birth there. In the house of a chief priest of Sankha, Brahmayu, in this city, he was born, became a monk, became enlightened, and taught the Dharma. His experience was just like that of Shakyamuni Buddha.

The other two Buddha statues were temporarily stored in the high school's vault. The "Future Buddha" (in Satoru's words) who ran out for a walk without others' permission was moved to Taito Ward, Tokyo.

There were many "special areas" scattered in Taito District. Japan's once No. 1 red-light district was in Taito. After Yoshiwara became history, some special industries did not disappear with Yoshiwara, but lay dormant in places where no light could be seen. Maintain a certain operating level.

Old houses were lined up neatly in sight, and water birds perched on the Sumida River glide across the washed sky.

The sun could not be looked directly at with the naked eye. It was too dazzling, so dazzling that it could burn people's eyeballs. The old streets have become silent under the dazzling sunlight during the day, and luxury and glitz have been left at the other end of time. This ancient city looked like an old man sleeping.

There was an auction taking place in a place where the sun did not shine. The venue was originally an underground casino. After it was closed in the 1980s, it was left abandoned. It was rented out half a year ago and became a temporary auction venue. Most of the items put up for auction were antiques and cultural relics. Recently, items related to the curse have leaked from the auction house.

Crossing the winding old streets and walking along the dark passages, the lights exploded in front of their eyes. The Six Eyes were already sensitive, and the eyeballs were directly exposed to the lights. It was inevitable to feel dizzy. Fortunately, Yayoi was wearing sunglasses.

On the dome-shaped ceiling, shining crystal lamps were suspended from the top, completely dispersing the shadows underground. Very different from the traditional Japanese buildings on the ground, the auction house below reminded Yayoi of a medieval European opera house.

The air was filled with the scent of fragrant perfume. The girls who came out to greet the guests were wearing slit cheongsams, and the skin of their thighs was white and soft.

Yayoi felt a pain in her waist. The guy who hit her was very strong. He relied on his own body to do whatever he wanted. She lowered her head and saw Satoru, who was standing in front of her with an unhappy expression. He looked like a housewife who caught her husband cheating on her.

To be honest, Yayoi didn't even know she had such an expression.

"Why are you pinching me?" Yayoi rubbed her waist aggrievedly. Although this was not her own body, didn't it hurt if you pinch yourself?

"Don't look." Satoru lowered his voice, stood on tiptoes, and leaned close to her ear. His warm breath fell on the ear, "I will be jealous."

"If you don't want to look, don't look." The fair skin of the ear turned a light red, and Yayoi felt a little hot on her face. She stood up straight and rubbed her ears, "Why are you so close?"

The girl next to her covered her mouth with a smile, her eyebrows crescent, and her laughter was like a clear ringtone.

Yayoi was holding Satoru's face with a veiled look on her face, but Satoru who was holding her body was majestic and high-spirited, leading her like a big sister taking her little brother out, sitting down in a familiar manner.

Yayoi was an honest person and was dragged to her seat by Satoru.

The lights clustered on the dome suddenly went out, and the spacious room fell into darkness. Yayoi lowered her eyelashes. The darkness flooded the auction, but it did not flood her sight at the moment. The human figure made of thermal imaging was clearly presented. In sight, Six Eyes were still absorbing the surrounding information unreasonably. If it were not for the small sunglasses on the bridge of the nose, it might be even more unreasonable.

*snap—*

With that, the largest crystal lantern in the center of the dome-like ceiling was suddenly lit up, and the dazzling light fell on the roof in the center of the venue. The curtain was slowly drawn, and the floor on the roof was polished, and bright lights spread on it.

Satoru, wearing her shell, had his legs crossed and his head resting on Yayoi's shoulder. Her red hair was pouring out like a stream of flames. Her fair thighs were looming under the wavy skirt. His habitual frivolous smile and casual sitting posture were obviously... Sitting among the crowd, it felt like a plum blossom blooming in the middle of heavy winter snow.

Yayoi, wearing Satoru's shell and sitting next to Satoru, looked like a pretty boy being kept by a rich woman.

Yayoi was sitting upright, and Satoru, who had his legs crossed, seemed to realize something. He put down his legs decisively, twisted up the skirt and covered his legs tightly. He was so honest that he didn't look like himself.

Satoru remained stubborn and raised his leg, trying to raise it up. He realized that it was Yayoi's body, so he put his leg down decisively.

A piece of cyan porcelain was pushed onto the exhibition stand. Under the light, the porcelain was as warm and moist as jade, and the bidding sounds came and went, like the ebb and flow of the tide.

Satoru tapped his fingers on the armrest of the desk, and his strong hearing heard over the calls and shouts, and with a thud, the auctioneer made the final decision.

"Yayoi, do you want to buy something?" Satoru rolled his eyes.

Yayoi thought for a while and said decisively, "There is."

"What? You can have anything you want~" Satoru blinked, his eyebrows arched, with the expression of a rich man who regards money as dirt.

"I have a lot of money~" Satoru was super proud, further confirming her status as a rich (wo)man at this time, "I bought our Megumin with one billion~"

Yayoi paused for a moment. She knew that this was a hot cat with a shirt worth 250,000 yuan. He was extremely rich, but she didn't expect that this cat actually did the dirty work of buying and selling people.

Yayoi was shocked, and Yayoi wanted to call the police.

"You can't buy what I want here." Yayoi blinked, "I want to eat Asakusa's sakura mochi."

"Eh~ It's true that you can't buy it here."

"This season is not suitable for eating cherry blossom cakes either." Yayoi held her chin.

"Have you been to Asakusa before?" Satoru lowered his voice.

"I've been here before," Yayoi said. "My home in Tokyo is quite close to here. I came once in the spring, but I haven't been here since."
Her 'home' used to live in Sumida Ward, one of Tokyo's 23 wards, which was adjacent to Taito Ward. With luck, she might be able to find the house she lived in at that time.

Yayoi paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Spring cherry blossom cakes are delicious."

"You can come next spring." Satoru leaned back on his chair, his eyes fell on the auctioneer next to the booth, and smiled softly, "Don't worry about missing it~ I will approve your leave. I am a reliable and understanding Gojo-sensei."

Yayoi opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but the wave of applause drowned out her next words.

Dazzling lights slowly flowed across the booth, and the moment the auctioneer's hammer hit, thunderous applause erupted, which was a polite congratulation to the successful bidder.

Satoru held his chin, the light and shadow flickering in his eyes, and smiled half-smile. To him, the expensive porcelain on the exhibition stand was not as attractive as the cherry blossom cakes he had just discussed with Yayoi.

The air was filled with the strong smell of perfume and gunpowder smoke, vaguely carrying the dust left over from a long time, and the faint smell of blood.

Everyone present was not just rich men who just came to auction the goods of their choice. They have their own purposes and come from all directions to realize their desires and curses.

Their goal was pushed to the exhibition stand. A thick sealing cloth was wrapped around the Buddha. Ominous words were engraved on the cloth, and the whole body of the Buddha was wrapped tightly.

Satoru did not move. He rolled up a strand of red hair with his fingers and played with it in circles in various boring ways. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Yayoi, who was calm. The cat's bad thoughts started to click again.

"Yayoi, you're very calm~" Satoru's cat's tail was raised.

"You also want to know who moved the Buddha statue." Yayoi determined.

"That's so smart." Satoru held his chin and blinked his eyes, acting cute. "It was an accident that the Buddha statue came here, but it was an inevitable accident."

Accident and inevitable were two completely opposite words. ‘Inevitable accident’ was used in various places in real life but it was not so unreasonable.

"The person who moved the Buddha statue was very smart." Satoru said. "People in the jujutsu society will subconsciously focus on the black market and curses, and often ignore the methods that ordinary people use."

"Guess how it was transferred." Satoru blinked.

"Express delivery?" Yayoi said subconsciously.

"That's right, it's still an inconspicuous express delivery company with a bad reputation." Satoru sighed, and the rich cat sighed, "You shouldn't save money like this~"

Yayoi realized.

If the courier company lost the package, it would be complained.

She thought about the traces of the cursed object in the file Ijichi sent a few days ago. It was a small courier company with a poor reputation. The boss who ran it had super bad business practices and allowed his employees to fly freely. This month, people have been complained about several times due to lost or damaged express delivery. Afraid that it would not be long before they go bankrupt due to lack of performance.

This courier company received an order a few days ago. The employer increased the price and only required the courier company to deliver the items intact to Aomori. The operator swore that there would be no problems, but the employees who were trying to fish out the items were sent to Aomori in the middle of the process. The courier was lost, and the company went bankrupt ahead of time. The reason for the bankruptcy was not the complaints, but the boss being cursed and the things being taken to the auction house.

"He cursed people to death in anger." Yayoi muttered.

"Do you have someone to suspect?" Yayoi turned to ask him.

"Yes, and you would never expect that person." kitty proud.jpg

Yayoi puffed up her cheeks, "It can't be the head of the Soma family."

Satoru: "...it's true."

Yayoi: "..."
There was no f*ck in saying that it's difficult to guard against house thieves, but the biggest house thief was actually the head of the family?

The world of curses was full of weird things.

"I have nothing to do with this mission~" Satoru spread his hands, "Rotten orange has temporarily transferred the mission to Nanamin. It seems that he has realized something and wants me to get rid of it in time."

"Are we here to enjoy the fun?" Yayoi realized again.

Satoru made a playful scissor hand gesture.

"Don't worry, Nanamin is a reliable adult~ and a first-grade sorcerer~" Satoru smiled, "Leave the matter to him and there won't be any surprises."

Yayoi was silent. Sitting in his seat, Satoru couldn't hide his inner excitement. He twisted his butt and moved his waist restlessly, as if there were nails on the stool. He didn't hide his excitement to see Nanamin's good show at all.

Yayoi blinked her eyes. She didn't understand Satoru's thoughts. Why did you dress up to see the fun? He put lipstick on the lips, the hair was neatly styled, the face was contoured, highlighted and blushed, wore a knee-length long skirt, and carefully put on a safety pants before going out.

His series of movements were smooth and flowing, without any sloppiness. Yayoi swore that she had never dealt with herself so carefully in her life.

"I want to go shopping and go on a date!" The older teacher Satoru Gojo winked, playful and cute like a high school girl, "I am just an ordinary cute little fairy now~"

Yayoi: "..."
If she remembered correctly, she herself was a humanoid self-propelled demolition machine that could smash down a building with her bare hands, which haf nothing to do with words like ordinary.
