Houses built in Japan are not valuable, what is valuable is land.

Because most of the land is independent property rights that can be used freely and passed down from generation to generation.

Land in a core area such as Kagurazaka in Shinjuku Ward currently starts at least 3 million yen per square meter.

When asked about this topic, Kotori Yumako's brows furrowed beautifully like thin willows and sighed.

"Since the completion of Akagi Shrine in 1300, Kotori Yushi has been responsible for worshipping the shrine for generations."

"Oh, that's a lot of history...... So, you invited me to visit just to prove that you are really a local tyrant and witch? Sousuke Araki said perfunctorily without sincerity.

Shrine maidens, monks, and priests are extremely ordinary social roles in Japan, just like ordinary company employees.

For example, the recruitment revelation of a part-time witch is often seen by Sosuke Araki on job search websites.

However, the only way to become a formal clergyman is to pass through the generations or go through extremely rigorous examinations.

"Of course not. What I want to prove to you is my identity as a 'soul slayer'. ”

Xiao Tori You Zhengong's eyes were solemn, and he took out the "Soul Removal Exemption" that had been repaired by transparent glue.

"Is this prop again?"

"This is not a prop, it is an official exemption from the Metropolitan Police Department...... Wait, don't you have one? ”

"Why do I have a ...... for this kind of children's cosplay props?"

"I see, no wonder...... You are...... Illegal soul slayers. There was shock in the eyes of the little bird Yu Zhengong, and he showed an expression of sudden realization.

It's no wonder that in the Soul Slayer Society, one has never heard of such a powerful person.

Since the "Hundred Eyes Ghost Rebellion" back then, supernatural cases have once again attracted the attention of the authorities.

Even those who are capable of removing spirits must obtain an officially recognized 'Removal Permit' before they can be entrusted to carry out the removal activities on their own within the scope of permission.

After all, non-standard spiritualism is very likely to lead to many uncontrollable consequences such as the strengthening of the resentment of the "spirit", the spread of fear, and the change of the rules of conduct, thus causing more casualties and laying far-reaching consequences.

And people who have the ability to remove spirits, but do not want to enter the official field of vision, are called "illegal soul killers".

It's no wonder that the other party obviously has such a clever skill in removing spirits, but he has always denied the matter of removing spirits.

"What illegal soul caster...... It will not work to spread feudal superstitions and wear hats indiscriminately here, after all, there are no ghosts in this world at all. Is it okay to know the scientific knowledge taught in your high school textbooks in your school bag to be the truth of this world? ”

Sousuke Araki was lying on a tatami mat with his head propped up, picking his nostrils, and his whole body glowed with a light called "science".

"I know that words and this waiver alone can't make you approve of it, so I specially invited you to come to the shrine today. My cultivation is still very shallow, and I can only do it within the torii gate of the goddess Akagi Himemei......"

Little Bird Yu Zhengong's eyes suddenly became serious, and he took out a triangular rune paper from his schoolbag and sandwiched it between his two fingers.

"Go."

The triangular rune paper burned so abruptly.

In the eyes of the little bird You Zhen Gong, a large amount of spiritual power spread out from the talisman paper, lingering in front of the two of them.

"This is under the protection of the goddess Akagi Himemei, and I can cast a large-scale soul removal spell."

"Oh, that's what it's like, that's what has become popular on the Internet recently, where phosphor powder is applied to paper in advance, and the principle of friction with air is used to make the paper burn......

Sousuke Araki immediately shook the floor and began to applaud.

In his eyes, there was no so-called spiritual power at all, just seeing that the rune paper spontaneously combusted without wind like a magic show.

"Isn't that the kind of thing that is indiscriminate...... With such a large amount of spiritual power, do you still have to pretend not to see it? ”

Embarrassed to see the rune paper in his hand burn out, Little Bird You True Bow felt that he was simply wasting his spiritual power.

Bowing her head and silent for a while, she raised her head and looked at Sosuke Araki with great sincerity.

The other party blindly gags and wants to perfunctory the past, then she can only get straight to the point.

"Akagi Shrine, known as one of the 'Three Shrines of Edo' in the Edo period. However, after several fires and reconstructions, and the gradual thinning of the Bird's bloodline to sense the will of the gods, they have become obscure. ”

With that, she lifted her hand and pointed to the high-end residential building outside the door.

"The place where that house is located was originally the land of the gods...... Ten years ago, however, the shrine was forced to lease the land to a real estate developer due to poor management and the fact that the shrine was too dilapidated and needed to be renovated urgently......

"So what? I don't have any incense money to offer to the gods to buy back the land. Sousuke Araki took a sip of the green tea on the table and teased.

At least you have a large piece of land left, and you should be able to eat and drink for the rest of your life if you sell it......

However, in case the other party was desperate with himself, he held back the sentence.

"So...... I know that it is extremely rude to inquire about someone's way of removing spirits. However, I hope that I will grow into a wise soul destroyer who can make the spirits of evil spirits 'Buddha', just as Your Excellency did that night. With the current land price in Tokyo, only in this way can I have the opportunity to earn enough honorarium to return the land that belonged to the gods to the gods in my lifetime, and wash away the shame of the Kotoriyu clan and Akagi Shrine. ”

Ignoring Sousuke Araki's ridicule, Yumayu, a small bird sitting cross-legged behind the table, bowed to him seriously.

"I understand everything you said."

Looking at the girl's sincere eyes, Sosuke Araki realized that the other party didn't seem to be some "superstitious scam".

After all, such a painstaking one-person scam will not be used on the poor and white themselves.

Perhaps, that night, some of his own behaviors caused the girl to have some kind of misunderstanding from a superstitious point of view.

Mistakenly thinking that you are a powerful peer who grabs business?

"Ahem, the crux of the matter is that I don't know how to kill spirits at all, and the old woman that night was just an old man who walked like a fly......"

With that, Sosuke Araki got up and prepared to leave.

The next move of the shrine maiden on the opposite side made him sit back with a butt.

Completely ignoring Sousuke Araki's words, Kotori Yumako took out a stack of bills from his schoolbag and leaned over to push it in front of him.

"This was the honorarium for the removal commission at the convenience store that night...... Although it was your overly resentful spirit, I also helped them to perform the blessing ceremony afterwards, so I had the courage to take fifty percent. After all, I took the task first...... And the current economic situation of the shrine is not very rich. ”

Looking at the thick stack of "Fukuzawa Yukichi" (10,000 banknotes) in front of him, Sousuke Araki gently squeezed it with his hand.

Judging by his many years of experience as a cashier at convenience stores, this thickness is at least 200,000 yen!

With a keen sense of smell for money, his brain immediately began to run wildly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

What kind of feudal superstitious "soul removal ceremony" is this, is it so earned?

The other party only gave fifty percent to himself, that is......

The girl sat at a convenience store in a shrine maiden costume for a night, ate a free freshly expired meat bun, drank a bottle of green tea, and worked hard to register the cashier, load the goods, wash the oden machine, steamed meat buns, beat up a delinquent teenager, and maintain order in the store......

The income is a hundred times higher!!

No wonder so many people are willing to be gods.
