The day before the start of the Golden Week holiday, Kazuma led Chiyoko to the headquarters of Sumitomo Construction once again.

This time, Ohara led Ogasawara directly to the elevator door to greet him.

After some greetings, Ohara led the Kiryu brothers and sisters into his office, and warmly served tea to the brothers and sisters in person.

When Kazuma saw the other party's attitude, he was very happy, thinking that this could be regarded as solving his own financial problems.

After all, the Kanto Union side is only responsible for repairing the door, and the compensation has to go through the process on the side of the Maebashi Transportation Association, and it will take about half a year to get the money.

The little savings left in the family are only enough to eat.

So Kazuma took the initiative to speak: "Ohara Specialist, about our family's dojo ......"

"Don't worry about that," Senior Chef Ohara, said with a smile, "We've given up on our plans to buy your dojo, and no one will ever disturb your siblings' lives again." ”

Kazuma was about to count the money with a smile, but when he heard this, his smile disappeared in seconds.

"Wait a minute, you've almost acquired all the land around you, right?" Hema hurriedly saved, "I heard that it is going to build a high-end commercial and residential community, all of which are buildings, and among a bunch of modern buildings, we are the only one who is short and rubbed......

What he wanted to say was, "You guys just take our dojo as well, otherwise it's ugly and the style won't be uniform."

But Ohara interrupted him directly: "Don't worry, don't worry!" The design of the commercial and residential area is still in the early stage, and the design can be modified!

"We can put green belts, small parks, and so on around the dojo and leave enough space between the dojo and the apartment building!

"Definitely won't block the lighting of the dojo!"

And the horse was stunned, is this a matter of lighting? What do you mean by lighting? You bought the dojo and I went to live in a new apartment by myself, and I could light as much as I wanted, isn't it fragrant?

"This, let's not mention the lighting or anything, I want to sell the dojo......" and the horse don't go around in circles, to tell the truth.

Senior Administrator Ohara's expression immediately showed distress: "This may be a bit difficult to execute. The board of directors has decided to keep the ashram.

"And we have a letter from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Culture, Sports, and Culture saying that this dojo may be a cultural relic, and it is not recommended to develop it until the relevant investigation is completed to determine whether it is a cultural relic."

Kazuma frowned, thinking to himself what else is there to do with the Ministry of Education?

A broken dojo that has not been passed on for two generations, and the entire sword federation may have forgotten its existence, can it still be a cultural relic?

One of the characteristics of the Japanese bureaucracy is that it is extremely bureaucratic.

For example, if there is a car accident and the car crashes into a shrine or temple on the side of the road that is under the control of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Culture, Sports,

If the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and Culture now came to say that the Kiryu family's dojo was a cultural relic, even a large company like Sumitomo Construction would not be able to move it.

Unless Sumitomo E&C spends another large amount of political donations to open up channels on the side of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and Culture.

Kazuma didn't expect that Soichiro Uesugi actually had a path from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and Culture-but if you think about it carefully, he is a sword saint, and he has so many cultural hobbies, so it's normal to have this way.

Smacking his lips with the horse, he could only accept the fact that the dojo could no longer be sold.

Sumitomo Construction doesn't buy it, and other companies won't buy it, and it's surrounded by Sumitomo Construction's land, and other companies can't do anything to develop it if they come and buy it alone.

Ohara saw that Kazuma was silent, as if he thought that Kazuma had not yet understood the current situation, so he continued: "No one will buy this land now, you can live here with peace of mind until the land is barren." ”

Kazuma glanced at Attorney Ohara: "Thank you for your explanation." ”

"Ah, you're welcome. Is there anything else I can do to help you, Kiryu-kun? ”

"No, thank you very much." He Ma stood up directly, and he couldn't sell it anyway, so there was no need to continue to stay here, save some time and leave in a hurry.

Senior Administrator Ohara also stood up and warmly bid farewell to the Kiryu brothers and sisters: "I'll send you downstairs." ”

"No need, Ohara is busy with you."

"No, no, no, I'd better send you down. You are a valued guest of our company. ”

Kazuma seriously suspects that this Ohara is deliberately disgusting himself, what a distinguished guest, if it is a distinguished guest, you have bought the land!

But he didn't say it, it was useless to say it anyway, so be it.

In this way, the Kiryu brothers and sisters came to the Sumitomo Construction Headquarters, and their butts were sent out respectfully before they were hot.

In terms of etiquette, the dignified affairs of the family greeted and sent them out in person, giving the Kiryu brothers and sisters enough face, but it just made people have a pimple in their hearts and couldn't get up.

After saying goodbye to the general manager at the Sumitomo Construction Gate, Chiyoko asked Kazuma, "What now?" ”

And the horse scratched his head: "That...... Let's go home first, and think about it in the long run. ”

At this time, Kazuma suddenly saw Ito Yusaku's bastard wearing a man dressed like a dog and getting out of the taxi with his bodyguard.

Ito Yusaku also saw Kazuma for the first time, he was about to close the taxi door, but he looked at each other, and got into the car again without saying a word.

His attendant looked at him suspiciously: "What's wrong?" Forgot something on site? ”

"If you don't want to be beaten, come in!" Yusaku Ito reached out and dragged his attendant into the car.

Immediately after that, the taxi started and drove away.

The Kiryu siblings watched the taxi go away.

Chiyoko: "It's a pity, if you beat him, brother, you'll be in a much better mood, right?" ”

"Probably so." Kazuma shook his head, "Let's go, go home." ”

"Let's go grocery shopping first, it's out." Chiyoko suggested.

"Hmm." Kazuma nodded, and at this time he suddenly thought of something, so he asked Chiyoko, "Chiyoko, do you know that the worship of Jizo Bodhisattva is the kind of Bodhisattva statue that can be seen from time to time on the side of the road, what kind of tribute is better?" ”

Chiyoko tilted her head and thought for a while: "It should be...... Fruit is fine, the important thing is sincerity. What's wrong? ”

"Well," Kazuma nodded, "then let's buy some fruit, there's a Jizo Bodhisattva I think I should pay some tribute to it." ”

Kazuma's real idea in his heart is that if he pays tribute to the Jizo Bodhisattva, he will also be able to get some temporary buffs, and he plans to try these temporary buffs one by one to confirm the effect and duration.

Chiyoko looked at Kazuma with a question mark on her face, but didn't ask much.

So the siblings left the Sumitomo Construction headquarters building, took the subway back to Katsuraji Ward, and bought the ingredients for tonight and the tribute to Jizo Bodhisattva in the familiar shopping street.

According to his memory, Kazuma led Chiyoko to find the Jizo Bodhisattva that he saw in the rain that day.

In his memory, there was a red scarf around the neck of the Jizo Bodhisattva, which looked very conspicuous and should not be too difficult to find.

And yet something strange happened.

Kazuma led Chiyoko, and he ran back and forth a few times on the way to the Tsuda gumi that day, and he didn't see any Jizo Bodhisattva.

While wiping her sweat with a handkerchief, Chiyoko asked Kazuma, "Brother, are you sure you are on this road?" Could it be that it was raining and the visibility was low, and you recognized the wrong way? ”

Standing on the shoulder of the red deer, Kazuma repeatedly checked the surrounding scenery: "That's right, it should be here, I remember it very clearly." At that time, the Jizo Bodhisattva should have been in this position. ”

Kazuma pointed to the place where Jizo Bodhisattva stood in his memory.

He was pretty sure he was not mistaken.

Could it be a hallucination?

Or is it that the things that can be seen by one's golden finger are not only the state of people, but also this kind of strange and chaotic things?

The sword has a spirit, and it doesn't seem unreasonable that Jizo Bodhisattva will go by himself.

At this time, Kazuma saw the uncle who had returned from class, so he stepped forward and asked, "Hello uncle, I would like to ask if there is a statue of Jizo Bodhisattva here?" ”

The uncle looked at Kazuma with strange eyes: "No." I've lived here for 30 years, and I've passed by here every day on my commute, and I've never seen any Jizo Bodhisattva. ”

Kazuma frowned, he thanked his uncle, and then turned to look at Chiyoko: "It's weird." ”

Chiyoko: "There's another grandmother over there, I'll go and ask." ”

After that, Chiyoko stuffed the things in his hand to Kazuma, and ran to the old woman who was passing by: "Hello grandma, may I ask, is there a statue of Jizo Bodhisattva here?" ”

"What is it like?" The old woman opened her loud voice and asked rhetorically.

"Jizo Bodhisattva!" Chiyoko raised her voice.

"Jizo? Yes! Yes, there was a Jizo Bodhisattva here before the war, but it was demolished when it was rebuilt after the war, and it has been almost 33 years! The old woman said a lot in one breath with a loud voice.

Chiyoko looked back at Kazuma.

Kazuma: "Thank you, Grandma!" ”

"You're welcome!" The old woman replied loudly, then bowed her head and walked her way again.

Wama squatted down in the position where he remembered the Jizo Bodhisattva standing, took out the prepared tribute and put it directly on the ground.

Hema inherited a set of simple gods and Buddhas from his previous life, called "It's always right to come and worship".

Placing the tribute, he folded his hands and closed his eyes.

Chiyoko stood behind him, also clasping her hands and closing her eyes.

He Ma silently recited in his heart: "Bodhisattva, the last time we met by fate, I can't repay it, and when I have money in the future, I will definitely come to reshape the golden body for you." You can take this tribute and make do with it first. ”

He Ma didn't understand the "technical terms" of Buddhism, so he could only end this nondescript prayer with what he had seen on TV:

"The mighty Heavenly Dragon, the World-Honored Jizo, the Buddhas, the Buddhas, the Buddha

After reading it, he looked at the sky with the horse and breathed a sigh of relief.

So there is not a thunderbolt that comes down and sends him away.

Kazuma stood up and said to Chiyoko, "Let's go." ”

"Is that okay?" Chiyoko asked rhetorically, "Could it be that I am not sincere enough?" ”

"It's all about it. We still have a lot to think about. ”

For example, learning.

For example, how to get money.

He Ma carried the ingredients for tonight's dinner and strode home.
