9 Tōkyō (Edited)
Tohoku Shinkansen, the famous high-speed railway line of Japan. Here in Japan, we can see that Ryū is allowed to travel alone as he is 13 years old and skipped a few school year since he technically knows a lot of things as a reincarnated person and a weeb.
Soon, the E3 series Yamabiko train arrived that will take him to Tōkyō. Once he got in, it took him to Tōkyō at roughly 2 hours of travel.
When he arrived at Tōkyō, he is required to go and meet the person who will take him to his family. Soon, he met him.
...
His name is Chan Seibasu, a half-japanese half-chinese servant of the family. Apparently, Ryū didn't know whether to laugh or cry about his name because if his name were to be written by an American, it would be Seibasu Chan, as if his name was literally Sebastian.
His wavy hair is black and it reached his shoulders, and black eyes. For some reason, he likes to wear butler suit despite not exactly one. He's already in his mid-20s, and is quite handsome.
--------------------------------
Soon, he arrived on a bakery. The bakery's name just right above the door is "Hinokami Bakery".
As soon as he entered, was greeted by his family and cousins. The reason why som of his cousins are here is because they were all wanting to go to school since they are literally living in a mountain. Also, only the main line of Kamado family, or rather where the Hanafuda earrings are passed down, are the ones who will inherit both Hinokami Kagura and the earrings.
"I've arrived, everyone!" He shouted.
He caught the attention of the customers because of his yell. But when they saw his looks, they decided to mind their own business as he looked closely to the owner.
"Ryū-kun! Don't yell just because you've arrive!" Speaking of loud, Kamado Akane.
She is just a year older than Ryū and is a smart girl. If ever there is a boy who would try to woo her, they should be prepared to bear with her loud mouth.
"Hahaha! Just let him be. After all, he just reunited with his parents and siblings." Her twin brother, Kamado Yōta.
He is the opposite of Akane, but he is sure quite talative sometimes when something caught his interest. All in all, he is calm and collected but not as smart as Akane, but he is wise enough to reprimand his twin when needed.
Ryū walked towards them and asked, "Where are they? Kanata and Sumihiko?"
His mother, Kamado Hina, replied. "They already left for school. Though, we needed to wake up Sumihiko many times until we told him that he's late for school. If you were here earlier, you would have laghed at the expression he made!" she giggled as she remembered Sumihiko pouting when he's not actually late.
"Hahaha..." Ryū laughed softly.
--------------------------------
After unpacking his belongings, he looked at the weapons he recieved from his master, Silver. Silver forged him a naginata with good quality and without being overpowered weapon. After all, having too much OP weapons means that person is relying too much on them which also causes them to not become stronger because they rely too much on their weapon.
And when their weapons break, they lose their confidence. But that's what happens on those chinese novels where the young master lost or can't use his strong weapon, resulting in them being defeated by the MC who is weaker but much more skilled.
His Nagamaki, Seidan, Spirit/Soul Cutter. A powerful weapon that tears through souls.

His Naginata, Kikura, Demon Eater. A weapon that has no abilities other than getting stronger and tougher each time it successfully killed. The increase is slightly small to notice.

[A/N: From here on out, I will just use english for weapon names.]
--------------------------------
After unpacking, he helped around the bakery since he doesn't have anything to do. He also exorcised some curses on people by trying to entertain them.
He also met a group of girls at which one of them have cursed spirit sitting right on her lap. He ignored it as its strength doesn't seem to affect anyone, and he continued exorcising people while entertaining them which caused a lot of people who are possessed by cursed spirits to feel better.
While doing so, he caught a scent of fear. Fear of something might disappear.
And when he looked at the girl with a curse on her lap, he met her eyes which showed fear as her arms slightly moved closer. Because of that, he knew that the girl can see curses. He just smiled at her and get back to work, he also didn't missed the girl's blush.
--------------------------------
When it was around 3 pm, his little brothers came back home who were greeted by Ryū's bright and warm smile, like a fire on a fireplace.
"Aniki!" "Nii-chan!" The former is Sumihiko while the latter is Kanata.
The both of them approached Ryū, with Sumihiko running and Kanata walking calmly.
Ryū caught the wild Sumihiko who just jumped at him. It was like Sumihiko is a puppy who met his owner after a long time. Well, it wasn't too farfetched as they have missed each other for 2 years.
The 3 boys talked to each other and also talked about how Ryū aced all the tests from 1st to 3rd year middle school very easily. And now, he is a high school student despite being 12 years old boy.
--------------------------------
• At night, 9:11 PM •
On top of one of the buildings, there stood a masked person wearing a kitsune mask. It was none other than Ryū who does his daily habit of exorcising cursed spirits a night.
He is looking far down the building where there is an alley that is dark as the building next to it was hiding the moon, casting its shadow on the said alley.
He waited until a person walked in there, highschool girls to be more exact. They were all close to each other and they were holding a flashlight, which apparently lost its light as they were approached by a cursed spirit that they can't see yet.
He overheard them speaking since it was night and it is eerily silent.
"Are you sure you dropped your earrings in this alley?"
"Yes, I'm sure of it."
When they were near, the cursed spirit moved back and hid further in the shadows. Although it is very dark, Ryū's eyesight is sharp enough to be able to see in the night with his semi-night vision eyes. The cursed spirit have human figure, but its face is disgusting as it has four mouths and tongues that are dangling down with saliva dripping.
When the girls took on more step, they disappeared. Seeing that they disappeared, he jumped down and ran through the walls via 9th form to both quickly go down as well as to be able to quickl close the distance safely.
As soon as he entered, he is on another place.
"Innate Domain? This curse is sure strong." He muttered to himself.
As he was looking around, he was suddenly attacked by a curse. He dodged and successfully gave it a slice on its torso.
"Huh? You only felt like around grade 1. Can a grade 1 curse develop a domain? No, I don't think so." He muttered to himself as he considerably madea uge gap between them.
It is quite unusual for Ryū to meet a grade 1 cursed spirit with an innate domain as he faced 3 more grade 1 spirit after the janitor cursed spirit.
As he have no time for thinking how a grade 1 curse have an innate domain, he rushed toward it. The curse also ran towards him for slicing his torso.
He jumped and raised his katana when he is near enough to execute a form.
❲Water Breathing, Second Form: Water Wheel❳
However, he missed. The curse somehow managed to move to the side and dodged the attack. Then, it tried to punch Ryū who quickly dodged by twisting and pulling down his body to dodge the punch which at the sae time have both of his feet on the ground.
One thing that he discovered and polished is about his footing. He trained and worked hard to make sure that his feet would fall down first like a cat.
And since his feet are on the ground, he attacked it with ❲First Form: Water Surface Slice❳ to cut its head off its torso. However, it managed to dodged in time. Unfortunately, its right arm was still sliced off since its a full swing.
Ryū didn't stop after that and followed it with ❲Ninth Form: Water Flow Splash — Turbulent❳ and moved around it to confuse it with his speed which looked like he was appearing and disappearing in the eyes of normal people. After successfully disorienting his opponent, he quickly used ❲Fifth Form: Blessed Rain after the Drought❳, killing it without any pain. Although, it is called the "sword stroke of mercy", it can still be used for killing an enemy without them knowing like an assassin.
After successfully exorcising the curse, the surroundings is still the same.
"Huh? So, there's possibly a special-grade curse here and this is it's innate domain... I've got to get going so I can get as much sleep I can get."
