251 The Monster City Festival

Takaita Daisuke overheard people from the Supernatural Bureau talking:

"This is the first time I've ever seen such a grand spectacle."

"Yes, there are hardly any people coming to the Spirit Realm normally."

"I haven't been to the Spirit Realm in a long time."

During their conversation, the Shikigami chariot arrived at the Seki Fortress.

Today, Mount Suzuka Seki Fortress has no checkpoints; the gates are wide open, allowing free entry and exit.

However, some Monster were maintaining order, making people line up to enter the city.

The Mount Suzuka Seki Fortress is particularly lively because there are no rules against wandering around, and many people from both the local area and other areas take photos here.

Multiple languages converge here, creating a massive wave of sound.

They were on a pilgrimage to the holy site.

Many people walked up the city wall and ran around, while others took advantage of the opportunity to make phone calls to friends who couldn't come and boast about the place.

It's so lively!

Abe suddenly remarked with emotion, "It's said that Mount Suzuka Seki Fortress was just this bustling during the war, and only became quiet afterward. I've been to the Seki Fortress before, but it's nothing like this. Apart from a few human superhumans and Monster, it's completely deserted."

He wasn't saying there were very few Monster in the Seki Fortress, but rather that compared to the entire Seki Fortress, the number of Monster seemed small.

The leaders of the Supernatural Bureau got interested and decided to travel like ordinary people.

Daisuke followed them on a tour of the Takaita Seki Fortress, and couldn't resist taking photos of the scenery with his phone.

The architecture of the Seki Fortress has an ancient feel and is quite interesting.

The city was teeming with people, and there were even shops run by Monster offering food, all free of charge.

It wasn't anything expensive; it was just the kind of thing you'd find at a festival stall.

This, ironically, makes people feel used to it.

The members of the Supernatural Bureau, who usually don't have much time to play, found it quite novel and soon their hands were full of snacks after walking for a while.

They walked around for almost an hour before finally getting through customs.

This time they won't need to summon Shikigami.

The Monster had already discovered them, Tamamo Ren came personally to pick them up.

Tamamo Ren stood quietly at the gate, waiting without urging anyone from the Supernatural Bureau.

Only after they emerged did Tamamo Ren come to greet them. The people from the Supernatural Bureau were also surprised by the Alliance's response. Director Abe apologized, saying, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Tamamo Ren."

"No, no."

Tamamo Ren was very polite, after all, many of the people here were members of famous Onmyoji families.

"It seems Director Abe is quite satisfied with the service at Seki Fortress?"

Tamamo Ren looked at what they were carrying and couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, it's been a long time since I've felt this relaxed."

Director Abe laughed, and Deputy Director Ashiya added, "The Seki Fortress feels much more interesting now."

The people from the Supernatural Bureau all agreed.

Tamamo Ren chuckled, "Thank you. We intend to keep the Seki Fortress open permanently from now on. If you're interested, please come and visit often."

"Definitely, definitely."

"Absolutely."

Everyone from the Supernatural Bureau readily agreed, but whether they were truly sincere or not is unknown.

Tamamo Ren ignored all of this and invited the people from the Supernatural Bureau onto a carriage pulled by demon horses, which then sped towards the Kyoto Monster Domain.

This vehicle is large enough to seat everyone from the Supernatural Bureau.

Director Abe asked meaningfully, "Did Mr. Tamamo come specifically to pick us up, or did he come here on other business?"

Tamamo Ren nodded and said, "I came here specifically to welcome everyone."

"Thank you so much for your help."

Director Abe was very polite and courteous.

"Director Abe, you're too kind. Our the Alliance will be dealing with your bureau frequently in the future."

"Haha, that's true."

Director Abe smiled, and everyone else laughed.

They appeared to get along very well on the surface.

Tamamo Ren has lived in Tokyo for many years and is much more shrewd than the Monster of Kansai. Moreover, Fox Demon are inherently smarter than their kind, and dealing with the Supernatural Bureau is nothing new to her.

Director Abe and his Onmyoji had met powerful Monster like Tamamo Ren before.

After exchanging some casual conversation with Tamamo Ren, Director Abe probed the purpose of the Alliance.

Tamamo Ren smiled and said, "We don't have any grand plans. We just want to rebuild the Mount Oe Monster Domain Mountain City first, and then reopen the Kyoto Monster City and Mount Suzuka Seki Fortress, restoring them to their former state as cities that accommodate all races."

The people at the Supernatural Bureau didn't believe it all.

It's common sense that you can't completely trust what Fox Demon spirit says.

Then they asked about Shuya's current situation.

When they asked about this, Tamamo Ren replied, "Speaking of which, it wasn't just me who came out to greet the guests this time; other great Monster also went to welcome the Alliance Leader's parents and friends."

"Oh?"

"That bastard Inoue Hikoo?"

Director Abe's daughter blurted out, her face filled with anger.

"Cough cough cough."

Director Abe was extremely embarrassed.

Tamamo Ren gave a polite smile.

Director Abe's wife said apologetically, "I'm sorry, my daughter used to prefer the Alien Baby Hikari-chan..."

"I understand, I understand."

Tamamo Ren nodded.

Director Abe's daughter said indignantly, "Even though he is my husband's father, what cannot be forgiven is simply unforgivable!"

Section 267, 251 Monster City Festival

Cough cough cough cough!

Director Abe coughed violently and glared at his daughter warningly.

But his daughter didn't even look at him; she was already fighting with the other girls, Shuya about whose husband Xiuye was.

The final answer is that Shuya everyone's husband.

Director Abe is about to suffocate.

Inside the carriage, apart from the woman's voice, no one else spoke.

Tamamo Ren didn't know what to say; it was too awkward.

After the conversation, the members of the Extraordinary Department were basically convinced that the Monster wouldn't cause any trouble for the time being, especially since Shuya sent his parents to attend the ceremony.

They probably won't cause any trouble.

However, is it really that simple?

Takaita Daisuke's intuition told him that things weren't over yet.

His scrutinizing gaze fell upon Tamamo Ren's handsome face.

Tamamo Ren noticed his gaze, turned around, and smiled gently at him.

Takaita Daisuke ultimately failed to observe anything from Tamamo Ren and could only keep his doubts to himself.

After a while, a Monster Domain appeared ahead.

"Arrive."

"Tamamo Ren said softly."

Then, the carriage, along with the other Monster and humans traveling nearby, entered the Kyoto Monster Domain.

A great city appeared before them.

Before everyone else arrived, Inoue Hikoo and Hanazawa Sakura had already been brought to the Kyoto Monster Domain.

Shuya came to the gate of the Monster City to pick them up.

"Hey, son, you've really grown up!"

Hanazawa Sakura saw Shuya after a long time and gave him a big hug.

Given Shuya's current height, Hanazawa Sakura is much shorter than him.

Perhaps we could call it the cutest height difference?

"Um?"

Inoue Hikoo had been observing the Monster City, immediately changed his expression when he saw his wife hug Shuya.

"Get away, get away, are you still a child?!"

Inoue Hikoo carried Hanazawa Sakura away, glaring menacingly at Shuya.

Shuya tilted his head. "I think I'm only eleven years old?"

"Screw you! Almost two meters tall and eleven years old? Are you a giant?!"

Inoue Hikoo said angrily.

"Ha, foolish mortals."

Shuya's expression was cold as he retorted.

"Hehehe, you guys stop arguing."

Hanazawa Sakura said with a smile, "I have to say, it feels amazing that two handsome guys are arguing for me."

However, Inoue Hikoo and Shuya ignored her and started attacking each other with their hands on their hips.

"President, President!"

Just as Hanazawa Sakura was about to speak, she was suddenly hugged by Haruno.

"Oh, Haruno- chan."

Hanazawa Sakura greeted her warmly.

"Sister Ying."

Shizuka Hiratsuka came over to say hello.

Hanazawa Sakura smiled and said, "Shizuka-chan came to pick me up too, thank you."

"You're welcome, I'm free anyway."

Shizuka Hiratsuka touched the back of her head.

"Good afternoon."

"Hello, Ms. Hanazawa."

"Hello!"

Yukino, Tsuruko, and Motoko were all present, and they had all met Hanazawa Sakura.

Hello everyone.
