Tokyo: My Hundred Ghosts Scroll

Chapter 128 His bento doesn't even have two layers

Saying goodbye to grandparents, Chihiro and her parents left the rural town.

Ogino Yuko and Chihiro were chatting about their plans for junior high school for girls.

As a child of a wealthy family, and graduated from Yingmanting, Chihiro started her life plan early.

Yuko is very supportive of her daughter's dream of becoming a teacher.

Anyway, the family has money, no matter what Chihiro does, the Ogino family can be her retreat.

As far as Yuko and Ogino Akio are concerned, they only need Chihiro to be happy.

"It's just that I can't see my classmates in elementary school in the future, and I feel a little lonely."

Fortunately, Chihiro didn't go to the girls' school alone. In their class, there were several others who had the same choice as her.

Kongoba, Sawako Yamanaka, and Shizuku Hazuki, they also chose the same junior high school as Chihiro.

"It would be great if we could be in the same class."

There are many bullying incidents in Japan. Although Chihiro's junior high school has a good atmosphere, no one can guarantee that such things do not exist.

So being able to have a small group of your own is really reassuring.

Of course, Chi was also eager to make new friends.

"And Gu Yun-jun..."

"Is that the squad leader you often talk about?"

Hearing Gu Yun's name, Yuko joked, "Let me think about how you describe him, Kakuyi?"

"Mother!!"

Chihiro shouted in embarrassment.

Gu Yun has always taken care of Chihiro, the girl didn't know that feeling before.

Only now did I realize that I found the shadow of my brother in Gu Yun.

As for what you like, that's just nonsense.

Gu Yun is the man of the class, the one standing at the top of the pyramid is far from what Chihiro can look up to.

Girls are more like chasing stars.

Gu Yun is Chihiro's idol, sacred and inviolable.

"Don't speak ill of Gu Yunjun!"

Chihiro puffed up her cheeks: "Even a mother can't do it!"

"Kakuyi turned out to be a bad word?"

"You can't even joke!"

"Hey hey hey."

Yuko, who had untied her knot, teased her daughter with great interest: "That is a hero that only belongs to Chihiro, not even her mother."

"Mo~~~"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Akio Ogino laughed heartily when he saw his daughter deflated, as if he wanted to release all the depression: "Gu Yun, the name sounds familiar, which family is he from?"

Chihiro and Gu Yun knew each other very early.

In Japan, strangers generally address each other by their surnames.

However, when the two met for the first time, Gu Yun asked Chihiro to call him by his name, so the Ogino family didn't know the full name of Gu Yun that Chihiro said.

"Yeah, it sounds a little familiar."

Yuko also realized that the rich ladies who were with her seemed to have mentioned this name: "Is it a child from a big family?"

The Ogino family can be considered to have stepped into the upper class, and their horizons are much wider than before.

But the core of the high-level, they are still not qualified to spy, that is too far away.

Today's Iijima family is one of the richest families, counting other families, they are marching towards Japan's new chaebol.

And this is only the assets and power of Japan itself.

If the overseas ones are also included, then the strength of the Iijima family is by no means such a little.

"Didn't I tell you?"

Chihiro recalled Gu Yun's style in school, and it is certain that he is a child of a rich family.

That kind of self-cultivation and etiquette is almost like a prince.

But what kind of big man is Gu Yun...

Qian Xun really couldn't see it: would a big shot be so approachable?
"Gu Yun-kun's surname is Iijima."

"Hey?"

Akio Ogino and Yuko were stunned for a moment, and the latter murmured, "Iijima Tanigumo, that, that's not..."

There are quite a few people with the surname Iijima in Japan, close to 25, but it is definitely impossible for the same name and surname to be exactly the same, and it is still in Sakuramanting Elementary School.

Many people in the circle know that Yingmanting Elementary School has been bought by the Iijima family, and even the chairman of the board is the executive executive of the Iijima Group (Nao Hayasaka).

It's no secret in your circle that the heir of the Iijima family is studying in Yingmanting Elementary School.

Many dignitaries wanted to send their children to Yingmanting, just to get acquainted with Gu Yun.

Over time, a large number of children of people with status and status gathered in the Yingmanting.

Even if Gu Yun has graduated now, the circle has already been formed, and it is almost impossible to change the fact that Yingmanting is a noble school.

"Hey hey!"

It was this moment of stupefaction that Akio Ogino realized that he had driven the wrong way: "Ah, it seems that I drove the wrong way."

"Gu Yun-jun, is your name Iijima Gu Yun?!"

Yuko didn't care about the trivial things like driving the wrong car at all, all her attention is now on Chihiro and Gu Yunjun: "Why didn't you tell us earlier?"

"Um, is this important?"

"His surname is Iijima!"

"Iijima, that Iijima?"

Chihiro has also been educated by the nobility. One of the things that middle and high-level people like them must do is to know who they can't afford to mess with in this society.

Therefore, Chihiro knows many families, such as Chitanda, such as Hiratsuka.

Needless to say, the Iijima family.

In ancient times, the Iijima family was the shogun who ruled the world, and Chitanda and Hiratsuka were the daimyos who protected the side under his command.

The Ogino family is insignificant, but they are also retainers of a certain minor daimyo.

"No way!"

Chihiro really couldn't associate the gentle and kind Gu Yun with the noble status of the next generation heir of the Iijima family.

"But, but shouldn't such a person be very domineering and arrogant?"

In the TV series that Chihiro has watched, they are all acted like this.

How to get to Gu Yun is completely different.

"His bento doesn't even have two layers!"

This is already the daily ridicule of Gu Yun in the class.

Especially compared to Hiratsuka Shizuka's ultra-luxurious young lady bento, it is really a commonplace to the extreme.

However, few people know that Gu Yun's dishes are specially made by monsters, and occasionally Nao Hayasaka cooks them himself.

A bento full of love is the taste of happiness and home.

Besides, Gu Yun doesn't eat much.

Compared with Shizuka Hiratsuka who practiced breathing techniques and could eat five layers of luxurious bento in one meal, Gu Yun really didn't need to pursue this.

"I always thought that Gu Yunjun was from the Chinese family."

The Chinese in Chihiro's mouth is similar to the scholarly family that is often said. Gu Yun's humility and gentleness make it difficult for Chihiro to associate him with 'money' and 'right'.

"It's amazing."

After listening to Chihiro's description, Yuko compared the children of the wealthy wives' families she knew: "Is this the heir of the Iijima family?"

"So, Gu Yun-jun is very powerful?"

"superb!"

Knowing Gu Yun's identity, Yuko didn't dare to say anything more: "He and we are people from two worlds."

"We're just talking in private, Chihiro, you must never tell anyone," Yuko said in a low voice, "There are rumors in the circle that even our prime minister is the spokesperson selected by the Iijima family."

"Okay, so scary!"

The girl covered her mouth in surprise.

It never occurred to her that her classmate turned out to be an influential figure standing at the apex of this country.

"The unicorn of the Iijima family can lead this giant ship for at least 50 years."

Regarding the strong rise of the Iijima Group, even the Abe family, who specializes in divination, gave such an evaluation: "The next 50 years belong to Iijima." '

"Boom~Boom~"

"what happened?"

The conversation between the mother and daughter was interrupted by the shaking of the car, and the two looked at Akio Ogino, puzzled.

"that…"

Akio Ogino said embarrassingly: "I, I seem to have driven the wrong way completely."

"If you drive the wrong way, wouldn't it be good to find it again?"

Yuko opened his mouth strangely, but found that the outside of the window had turned into a small forest, and the road in front of him was only a muddy path.

"where is this place?"

Yuko raised her forehead, she didn't know how her husband had to drive to reach such a forest path.

"The air is so fresh."

Chihiro opened the car window and poked her head out. She really likes this kind of place.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Chihiro saw the dilapidated torii gates on the roadside, and some small houses made of stone: "What is that?"

Small stone houses are closely scattered under the torii, many of which also offer snacks and small objects, and it seems that some people come here to pray.

"That is the stone temple, the home of the gods."

Yuko said as she got out of the car, she first folded her hands towards the stone temple to show respect, then looked in a certain direction through the woods: "I saw the road, it's over there."

"Oh, if that's the case, then this road should be able to bend."

"Sit tight!"

Ogino Akio is a very adventurous person, and now it is broad daylight, it is no big deal to walk on the forest path: "Chihiro, you continue to chat, I will leave this to Dad."

"Ok!"

Chihiro glanced at the forest he was passing by, and saw many stone statues standing among the bushes on both sides.

There are more of them than there should be.

The stone statue has two sides. It represents the dividing line and is a special kind of stone.

In this world, there are many similar stones, such as the Dao Stone of Inspiration, the Stone of Reversal of the Dao, and the key stone that can close the troubled times, etc.

The stone statue here is not one of the three. Its material is very ordinary, and the key lies in the blessing of the gods.

God has two sides, one is peaceful and the other is violent.

This is also telling the visitor not to move forward any further, just retreat.

Of course, these Qianxun didn't know.

It's just that the guard in the girl's arms is emitting a faint light. It has the spell left by Gu Yun on it, and it is constantly sending "dangerous" signals to Chihiro.

However, the strange thing is that Ogino's family seemed to be affected by some kind of power, even Gu Yun's guard could not wake anyone up.

The only Chihiro, although not fully immersed in it, also did not question it.

"Isn't it an export?"

Akio Ogino was blocked by the statue of the patron saint, so he had to stop the car: "Is there still such a house here?"

What appeared in front of them was a bell tower imitating the architectural style of a western mansion.

"Yuko, Chihiro, come quickly."

Ogino Akio called his wife and daughter over, Yuko looked at the clock tower in front of him with great interest, Chihiro felt a little gloomy, so he said, "Let's go back, it feels weird here."

As Chihiro opened her mouth, the guardian in her arms began to emit spiritual fluctuations.

This force covered Chihiro's surroundings, including the couple, forming an independent small protective barrier.

"It seems a little chilly."

Akio Ogino seemed to be a little more awake. He patted the cement wall, then turned around and prepared to leave: "I planned to go in and have a look, but if you don't want to go, Chihiro, then forget it."

"It's the first time I know that there are such buildings near the town."

Yuko followed her husband and turned back: "Did you have any travel plans here before?"

"Who knows, there were too many such things before the 90s, and maybe the town had plans for this."

The two chatted and prepared to return to the car, but the next moment, Akio Ogino began to sniff the air: "What is this smell? Yuko, have you smelled it?"

"Well, it smells really good!"

The three of them went up to the mountain to worship after lunch. At this time, they smelled the aroma of food and were immediately attracted by it.

"It came from inside!"

Akio Ogino strode towards the tunnel under the clock tower. He stood at the entrance and sniffed it hard: "That's right, it's here."

"Hey, Chihiro, Yuko, let's go eat something together."

"Is Chihiro hungry too?"

Yuko touched her daughter's head, she knew Chihiro was timid, and said, "There is food in it, which means there are people, so there is no need to be afraid, right?"

Chihiro nodded.

If this is an abandoned mansion or something, Chihiro will definitely not go, and will definitely prevent her parents from entering.

But she also smelled food, which meant that someone was inside the clock tower.

"Ah."

Chihiro took her mother's hand and walked into the dark tunnel with Akio Ogino.

Soon, the three of them came to a place that looked like the waiting room of a station, and the roar of the tram came from their ears, which further confirmed this guess.

"The sound of a tram!"

Chihiro and the others continued to move forward, and when they passed the bell tower, the three of them felt that the front suddenly opened up.

In the blue sky, white clouds floated, the breeze blew, and the green grass swayed.

"really."

Akio Ogino looked at the dilapidated houses and the stone statues of animals buried in the soil: "A theme park should have been built here before."

In Japan, it is not surprising that this kind of gimmick to attract tourists abounds in many rural villages and towns.

"Sniff~"

"It's getting more and more fragrant."

"In front, Chihiro, hurry up and follow."

"Ah, wait for me."

Chihiro noticed that her parents were walking faster and faster. They climbed up the grassy slope and crossed the dry river bed. At the top of the upward ladder, a frog carved out of stone faced the three of them.

Compared to the parents who passed by the frog stone statue without realizing it, Chihiro watched the frog for a long time, and did not run over until the parents called out.

Frog has the same pronunciation as 'return' in Japanese.

Starting from the statue of the patron saint, these sculptures have been constantly hinting at the Ogino family, telling them not to move forward.

However, apart from Chihiro, the Ogino couple seemed to be drawn by some kind of force, completely immersed in the aroma of food, unable to extricate themselves.
