The name of the dealer is Takashi Arai, and he is a priest of Harumi Shrine.

Harumi Shrine, which is a shrine dedicated to Abe Eye, is located in Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto City, although it is not large, but due to Abe's reputation and the recent popularity of some games, there are many people who come to worship.

Even recently, in order to meet the preferences of young people nowadays, the shrine has also opened a special gacha omamori, as long as you buy the omamori, you can get the good luck of the mobile game gacha.

Of course, Takashi Arai, as an insider, naturally knows that it is nonsense.

He has been a bookmaker for four years and has been making a lot of money every year.

At the end of the day, the handicap is not like what many people think, and it needs to buy off players or interfere in the game.

It only takes a delicate balance of the bettor's money through probability, and Takashi Arai will be able to earn the difference from it.

That's the magic of mathematics.

Of course, Takashi Arai himself does not rely on mathematics.

As a shrine dedicated to Abe's eye, in addition to traditional Shinto, Haruai Shrine also comes into contact with yin-yang arts, and Takashi Arai is an expert in divination.

Although it is not as good as the one in Tokyo's Yin Yang Liao, Arai Takashi relies on divination to make no mistakes in the handicap.

With Qiao Qiao's money, Arai Takashi calculated.

The current cost of buying a person who has completed the removal of spirits in less than 30 minutes is 200,000 yen.

The money to buy someone who completes the removal in more than 30 minutes is 50,000 yen, well, if you count Qiaoqiao, it is 70,000 yen.

Although the odds of more than thirty minutes are close to 3, they are still more than enough.

"Okay, here's the bill."

Takashi Arai handed over the bill with his own spiritual power mark to Qiao Qiao, and as a qualified bookmaker, he was still very reputable.

"Wow, I didn't expect the teacher who usually doesn't pull out a dime would take out 20,000 yen at a time, and he went down to the other side."

Asako Asano was a little surprised.

"What kind of person do you imagine me to be, I'm not a dime, I just like to use my money on the cutting edge."

Qiao Qiao properly put away the bills.

"But why does Josan think that the shrine maidens of Fushimi Inari Taisha will last more than thirty minutes?"

Shinki Shinki was more curious about this.

"As Zhen Xisan said, except for the spirit of martial arts, it is actually more like an exam, so since it is an exam, there will definitely be things like the syllabus and scope of the exam."

Qiao Qiao transferred the venue arranged by the spirit removal martial arts in the past five years on his mobile phone.

Since the thirty shrines are all different, plus performances such as the removal of spirits, there are more than 150 layout drawings in total.

"I simply scanned the layout drawings and compared them with this year's, and found a problem."

“？”

Wait, Jossan.

Finished reading the ministry?

It was less than five minutes, right?

Can you read a layout in two seconds?

Shinki Shinki couldn't believe it.

"Mm-hmm, worthy of a teacher."

Asano Riko nodded repeatedly.

Sitting down is the basic operation of the teacher.

"Well, these layout drawings actually have traces to follow, such as the layout drawings of the year before last, focusing on the witches' exploration of the source of resentment in electrical appliances, so there are many sources of resentment arranged in electrical appliances, such as last year's, the investment in simulated resentment is far greater than in previous years, it must be a very terrifying session."

"That's right"

Shinki Shinki seemed to remember some painful memories.

"And then this year."

Qiao Qiao looked up at the abandoned village in the distance.

"This year's theme is probably 'beyond the outline.'"

"Huh?"

Asano Riko also took a look, but she couldn't see anything.

Only on the big screen, the posture of the witches is still playing.

"I've just checked this year's setup a little, there are a lot of settings that haven't been seen before, and there are even meme-like sources of resentment, if the shrine maidens of Fushimi Inari Taisha are really as good at removing spirits as the commentators say, they will not be good at this kind of weird handling."

This can be regarded as the disadvantage of being the first to appear.

In the future, the shrine will probably be able to be warned.

However, if Fushimi Inari Taisha still completes the spirit removal work perfectly in this situation, Qiao Qiao thinks that its rating will also improve a lot.

Of course, this kind of "theme-like" thing is not an official statement.

It's just Qiao Qiao summed it up by himself.

The "theme" setting only accounted for 5% of all the decorations in that session.

But perhaps it is these five percent that will have a decisive impact on the score.

"Wait, teacher, you said that you confirmed this year's layout, but there won't be this year's layout in the materials, right?"

Asako Asano didn't understand again.

Qiao Qiao said it as if he had seen the answers to the test papers.

"Well, not really."

Qiao Qiao said.

"So I just watched it directly."

“？”

The two shrine maidens looked at each other.

Can't help but look at the forest behind the screen.

At this distance, you can directly see the source of resentment and the arrangement of simulated resentful spirits?

Takashi Arai, who was sitting on the side because of curiosity, also felt incredulous.

But soon, he thinks that this young man who came from nowhere may be bragging to win the favor of the two lovely shrine maidens.

This is not a high-ranking monk or a great onmyoji, how can he have such a strong perception of spiritual power?

"Oh, it's the iconic fox of Fushimi Inari Taisha that has appeared."

"Well, the Kumagai shrine maidens here also use a spell that represents the Thousand Torii Gate."

On both screens, several foxes composed of spiritual power appeared beside a shrine maiden, flying towards all corners of the abandoned village, searching for possible sources of resentment.

Beside the other shrine maiden, a dozen red torii gates appeared, and from the torii gates, spiritual power rained down like raindrops, penetrating the building, and destroying the simulated resentful spirits hidden inside.

"That's amazing."

Qiao Qiao listened to the commentary, watched the removal of spirits, and wrote down some inspiration in a small notebook.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Twenty-five minutes later, the shrine maidens of Fushimi Inari Taisha had already swept the area once.

"Sure enough, it only took thirty minutes."

Asano Riko was not happy that she had been pressed, and she glanced at Qiao Qiao.

A teacher who usually values money so much would have lost 20,000 yen because of it.

Hiss, I dare not imagine.

However, Qiao Qiao was unusually calm at this time.

"Strange?"

Shinki Shinki said as he looked at the commentary screen.

"If all the expulsions are completed, there should be an announcement."

And now, the visible source of resentment and the simulated resentment spirit have been eliminated, and theoretically the removal of the spirit should have been completed.

However, the conspicuous announcement never appeared.

Several shrine maidens from Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine obviously didn't expect this either, but they were clearly very professional, and they got together and began to discuss the details of the previous extermination, trying to find loopholes.

"This"

Takashi Arai glanced at Qiao Qiao.

Is this guy really that powerful? Hidden?

The thirtieth minute passed quickly, and the shrine maidens of Fushimi Inari Taisha scattered and searched the village again, but still found nothing.

The commentators have no topic, so they can only gag and drag out time.

This continued until the sixtieth minute.

Since the time limit for the Soul Removal Exercise is sixty minutes, once the time is over, regardless of whether the Spirit Removal is completed or not, you must be forced to leave the scene.

Therefore, the shrine maidens of Fushimi Inari Taisha could only leave the scene in gloom.

There was a lot of discussion on the spot.

"Qiao San, where is the last source of resentment?"

Shinki Shinki was puzzled and asked curiously.

"It's simple."

Qiao Qiao pointed to a place in the village.
