I have an infinite number of shikigami-Chapter 184 - 103. Have a sip of tea, chatting and laughing with senior and junior female schoolmates as well as with two madams.

Chapter 184: 103. Have a sip of tea, chatting and laughing with senior and junior female schoolmates as well as with two madams.

After having a green face all morning, Hoshimi Rinko finally nodded lightly like a satisfied cat.

"What about me?" Kasahara Asuka asked as she leaned over.

Fujiwara Reya looked at her lively smile and sparkling eyes, and without thinking, he said, "The colorful threads sway lightly like swallows, heavy with sleep beneath the red window, unaware of the orioles."

"?"

Kasahara Asuka blinked in confusion.

It was obvious that she didn’t understand what he meant, possibly not even understanding the Chinese language.

"Mr. Fujiwara, you can’t play favorites," Mrs. Hoshimi said with a smile as she brewed tea.

This was a private gathering, with no servants to attend to them and no sight of lavishly dressed ladies. There were just the five of them in the room, creating a peaceful and warm atmosphere. Fujiwara Reya felt no social restrictions and freely chatted.

"I dare not evaluate Chairman Hoshimi," he said, sitting cross-legged in front of the tea table with a smile.

"You must, and it has to be poetry," Mrs. Hoshimi said imperiously and handed him the first cup of tea she brewed, "Otherwise, you won’t get a share of what the White Mountain Shrine left."

"Director Kasahara..." Fujiwara Reya looked at Mrs. Kasahara for help.

"Serves you right," Mrs. Kasahara said with a smile on her lips, pretending to dislike him, "Having a sister isn’t enough, and yet you still slick talk with other women all day!"

"Mom!"

Kasahara Asuka threw herself onto her mother’s back, dissatisfied, "I noticed him first, you can’t compete with me!"

"Shh, Xiangxiang, let me tell you..." Mrs. Kasahara whispered something to her daughter, who then hid behind her mother’s back, covering her mouth with her hand and letting out a sweet giggle.

"Big fox and little fox!" Mrs. Hoshimi laughed and scolded, her eyes still fixed on Fujiwara Reya, "Hurry up, don’t keep your sister waiting."

Hoshimi Rinko was very confused.

*If her own mother became the sister of her junior, did that make her junior an uncle?*

"Let me think..." Fujiwara Reya frowned, looking troubled as he sipped the tea in his cup.

As the brown tea slowly neared its bottom, revealing the beautiful peach blossom beneath, his eyes brightened. He recited in a leisurely and lazy tone like a spring breeze, "In the spring garden, lovely hues abound, peach blossoms blush bright; the maiden stands under the tree, elegantly swayed by the gentle breeze."

This is Japanese, from a "Waka" in the "Manyoshu."

"Hmm, satisfied..." Mrs. Hoshimi smiled beautifully, leaning against Mrs. Kasahara as if she had no strength, "Himeko, did you hear? ’Maiden’ means I’m younger than you."

Mrs. Kasahara glared at Fujiwara Reya, her gaze majestic.

"A single glimpse, a hundred charms arise, making all beauty in the back palace pale in comparison!" Fujiwara Reya blurted out.

Bai Juyi’s fame in Japan is unmatched by any other Chinese poet. His representative work, the "Song of Everlasting Regret," directly inspired Japan’s national treasure level literature, "The Tale of Genji." In "The Song of Everlasting Regret," Yang Guifei has become a goddess-like legend in Japan. Japanese scholars have even analyzed the words of "The Song of Everlasting Regret" and believe Yang Guifei fled to Japan. Even now, there are residence sites and tombs of Yang Guifei in Japan.

When Fujiwara Reya compared her to Yang Guifei, Mrs. Kasahara blushed, her eyes sparkling with tears as she gazed at him, seeming to have endless sorrow to express.

"Though the Noble Concubine was born peerlessly beautiful, in the end, she was envied and framed to death amidst fierce harem strife," she sighed, speaking despondently, "Now I am also high-ranking and powerful, yet there is no one I can rely on, living as if walking on thin ice. Mr. Fujiwara, please..."

At that point, she couldn’t continue.

*Whether she was shy or her acting was over the top and she had to pinch her thigh to suppress laughter remained a mystery.*

Either way, Fujiwara Reya almost believed her.

If she hadn’t burst out laughing at the last moment.

As they drank tea, the four women conversed, asking about what happened last night.

Fujiwara Reya chose his words carefully as he recounted the events briefly. When he spoke about being trapped within a domain, the four women’s faces turned tense, and when he mentioned successfully chopping off the Dog Demon’s head, they sighed in relief.

"The title of the first of the younger generation will go to Mr. Fujiwara," Mrs. Hoshimi said as she sipped her tea.

"No, no, it’s still the senior’s," Fujiwara Reya humbly said, "I only borrowed the power of a Shikigami, which can’t be considered my own skill."

"To be able to tame a Shikigami is also your ability," Hoshimi Rinko said.

Her tone was indifferent, showing no discomfort or embarrassment about the first person’s title being taken.

Fujiwara Reya said nothing, maintaining a well-behaved posture.

Next, the two ladies asked about school matters, including a year in the Paranormal Research Department with the senior and how he got acquainted with the junior.

"Two pairs of knee-high socks?"

Mrs. Hoshimi blinked in astonishment.

Then, she glanced at the embarrassed Kasahara Asuka, who was hanging her head low, and then at her own daughter, with an expression as if to say, "You should quickly give two pairs too."

"..."

Hoshimi Rinko was very upset.

*Always graceful and elegant, she even thought rebelliously: I might not be my mother’s biological daughter.*

Seeing the youngest daughter’s face full of shame, Mrs. Kasahara turned her head, her eyes warmly landing on Fujiwara Reya, "Xiangxiang has caused you trouble."

"It’s okay," Fujiwara Reya gently patted the junior’s head.

"She’s been spoiled since she was small, with a bad temper," Mrs. Kasahara said helplessly, shaking her head, "Sometimes I just feel like kicking her out, as though she wasn’t my daughter."

"The junior has a kind nature," Fujiwara Reya said, looking at the slightly red ears that peeked from between her cheeks and hair, "She’s just been too pampered from a young age and needs a little discipline."

"I’ll leave it to you in the future," Mrs. Kasahara smiled happily, then the corners of her mouth curled into a smile that suggested early planning, "Xiangxiang is just a step away from moving up, and there’s only a month until summer vacation. How about after the vacation, Mr. Fujiwara helps me with her training? Oh, and by the way, there’s a piece of land from the White Mountain Shrine in the Bunkyo District that I plan to entrust to Mr. Fujiwara to manage..."

"Uh..."

Fujiwara Reya hesitated a bit.

*He wasn’t sure if he’d be free during the summer vacation.*

"I have a private beach in Minami-Izu, and we can train there," Mrs. Kasahara gave him a wink full of suggestion, her lips curving into an extremely charming smile, "All three of us, Xiangxiang, Fukaeri, and I, will need sunscreen applied."

Fujiwara Reya was somewhat tempted.

No, he was very tempted...

The main reason was still wanting that piece of White Mountain Shrine land.

*Helping out with sunscreen for his sister, junior, and mother was not something he was looking forward to, not excited at all.*

"..."

Hoshimi Rinko’s gaze cooled slightly. freewebnøvel.coɱ

*Summer was the time of the Sumida River Fireworks Festival, and the scoundrel had promised last year to take her to see the fireworks this year!*

"Ah, just right!" Mrs. Hoshimi suddenly remembered something and laughed, "Rinko will be entering university next year, and it’s the perfect time to find a quiet place to study during the summer. Let’s all go together."

This was a lie.

The senior had already been guaranteed admission to Tokyo University by the end of her second year.

Even without the guarantee, with her grades, she could easily choose any university in the world.

"Welcome, Yako!" Mrs. Kasahara extended her hand to her.

Mrs. Hoshimi extended her hand with a smile as well, "We can vacation together again!"

"Clap~"

White, tender palms lightly touched each other.

In the gentle May sunshine, two beautiful women inwardly cursed each other as shameless.
