    Don't be fooled by the labels; this is the daily life of a Taoist priest and a demon. [Lighthearted Daily Life + Chinese and Japanese Mythology] Tokyo is hot, and the Taoist priest is poor. While others exorcise demons, he saves money on exorcisms. While others save the world, he makes a little extra cash on the side. ❄️ Electricity too expensive? He catches a Yuki-onna (snow woman) to act as an air conditioner, maintaining a constant 22 degrees Celsius, and drinks a Häagen-Dazs every day. 🧺 Washing machine broken? He catches a Kappa (water sprite) to hand-wash, cleaner than a front-load, but it will ask for cucumbers halfway through the wash. 🚗 No car? A black cat instantly transforms into a minivan, burning no gas and just being cute, with a starting price of three dried fish. He only wanted to save some money, but then the Qin Dynasty artifacts that Xu Fu left in Japan two thousand years ago pointed him in the right direction, insisting he retrieve them. The Taoist priest sighed, "Fine, I'll take care of bringing the national treasure home while I'm at it."
