Juqiong Shrine.

The glimmer of the morning sun is reflected on the white walls and red buildings, and the autumn dew stands on the blades of grass in the courtyard.

Somewhere in the courtyard wall of the shrine.

Hotaru Onizuka, who was carrying a bow on his back, jumped over the wall nimbly and jumped down.

As soon as she stood firm, she heard a calm and solemn question from the side: "Do you know you're back?" ”

"Wow!"

The little witch was so frightened that she almost didn't fall to the ground.

She turned her head stupidly, only to see Granny Blind, wearing a priest's uniform, standing quietly by the wall with a blind cane.

"Mother-in-law...... I'm cowardly, don't scare me like that. Onizuka cried and mourned.

"Going out over the wall to meet a boy in the middle of the night and not coming back until the morning, is this considered timid, Hotaru-chan?" Granny Lady raised her head, her empty blind eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, "You've never done such a rebellious thing before." ”

"Hmm...... I know wrong. ”

The little witch's voice weakened a little.

It seems that what happened last night has not escaped the insight of the blind mother-in-law at all.

The priest of the Juqiong Shrine, who was standing by the wall, continued to speak: "Is there anything else you want to justify?" For example, it's the kid named Kamiyagawa, who wants you to go out or something. ”

"Kamiya he...... Not...... Well, I'm going to go with it. I heard that he was going to the pet cemetery to catch the cat spirit, and I was a little playful and curious. Kamiya didn't agree with me going at first......"

The little witch lowered her head and fiddled with her skirt with her hands crampedly, like a schoolboy who was called to the office by the head teacher to give a lecture.

Hearing this, Granny Yu was silent for a while, and her somewhat thin palm gently grasped the head of the blind cane, and then said leisurely: "Go wash up, and then rest for the morning." Look at you now, how can you still have a little bit of the appearance of the Son of God. ”

The current little witch of the Ghost Tomb is because she has been in the mountains and forests for most of the night.

Some places on the jacket were hooked by the branches in the forest, and the black stockings were also stained with a lot of splashing mud spots, which was indeed a little embarrassing.

"Huh? Mother-in-law, you don't ...... Don't you scold me? Onizuka looked up, and the pair of good-looking apricot eyes blinked.

The old priest of Juqiong Shrine was speechless.

This made the little witch very happy, and she said "Mother-in-law, you are the best", and then prepared to smear the soles of her feet and go back to the room.

But she hadn't walked a few steps before she heard the Granny behind her calmly add: "In the next week, the daily training volume of the Divine Son will be doubled. ”

"Huh?" The little witch paused, "However, the usual amount of training is already very large." If you double it, I'll be exhausted! ”

"Shouldn't you be punished for doing something wrong?" The tone of the mother-in-law was undeniable.

"Uh......h I see. For the next week, I'll work hard. ”

"Is it just going to work hard for the next week?"

"Woo, mother-in-law, you better scold me first."

……

The real world.

Tokyo.

Kamiyagawa rode in a ghost seven-seater car and returned home when it was dawning.

After that, the members of the hearse group visited the strange world and found a complete place to share the small requiem candles.

The area around Tokyo, the so-called safe world area, refers to the Hanazu Trick School.

There are no powerful monsters, and there are Prajna and Mary watching the field next to the shrine.

The sense of security is overwhelming.

After setting up the hearse, Kamiya closed the curtains in the room and fell asleep.

Although I didn't fight any hard battles last night, I also tossed all night. can exhaust this flesh-and-blood future ghost and god co-master.

I slept until three o'clock in the afternoon.

After waking up, Kamiyagawa, who was sleeping softly, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and he impatiently boarded "Strange Tales of Things".

Upper number!

The thick blocks of color overlap each other, outlining the appearance of another world.

Kamiyagawa entered the Takamagahara-based base camp, and then a teleportation went to the Hanazumi School.

Next to the god of the treacherous school, the white Mazda was parked quietly, and the doors were closed.

It is estimated that several younger brothers such as Dashi and Gao Shan are sharing the breath of candle flame inside.

Kamiya didn't bother them.

He reached out and dug into the [Mirage Cloth Bag] and took out the beckoning cat ornament.

Gently hair on the position of the god five or six meters away.

"Meow~"

Smiling, the round beckoning cat let out a cheerful cry and began to swing its claws.

Then, a small booth rose from the ground.

Bamboo frame, white cloth canopy, red lanterns.

Warm lights illuminate the countertops of the stalls.

The beckoning cat ornament is placed upright on one side, and there is a standing sign on the side, which reads - [Spirit Meow Wanshi House].

In the center of the countertop, the previously accommodated fork-tailed golden gradient kitten is sitting elegantly upright, with two tails flicking gently.

It's already the new cat shopkeeper of the house.

"I didn't become a cat lady."

Kamiyagawa muttered like this, walked to the edge of the stall, and stretched out his right hand.

The fork-tailed golden gradient lazily stood up from the countertop, rubbing Kamiya's hand back and forth with the top of his head and neck.

Fluffy and fluffy.

And, unlike other common weird stories.

This cat shopkeeper, who has inherited the ability of the house of everything, has a warm body temperature.

It feels very good to pick it up.

Kamiyagawa expertly touched the twin-tailed cat's head and scratched its chin again.

"Meow~ purr."

The kitten shopkeeper squinted his eyes slightly, showing a look of enjoyment, and lay down directly on the countertop, revealing his fluffy white belly.

It has shown a closeness since it first saw Kamiya in the pet cemetery, and it is the same now.

Kamiyagawa glanced below the golden gradient's abdomen.

Well...... It looks like a little she-cat.

"Girls should be reserved, don't casually turn their bellies in front of others." Kamiya rubbed Kojin's head again, then withdrew his hand.

"Meow?"

The cat shopkeeper looked up in confusion, still unsatisfied, and the words "I still want" were almost written on his face.

"The kitten has to work its own in order to get the caress of the owner and the dried fish...... If you like small dried fish. Kamiyagawa said again.

"Meow meow?"

"Aren't you a cat shopkeeper now? Gather a wave of props and materials for me around the school, and I'll ...... when you get back. Well, reward you well. ”

"Meow~"

The little gold gradient should be able to understand people's speech.

It jumped gracefully off the countertop of the Spirit Meow Everything, cocked its two tails, rubbed the cuffs of Kamiya's trousers, and then walked leisurely towards the edge of the trickery.

Walking to the edge of the wall, Xiao Jin gradually jumped up, and reached the outside of the school with agility and ease.

Then, Kamiyagawa heard two more "meows".

Probably the kitten shopkeeper was saying goodbye to him.

Life is not easy, cats and cats work.

"This little female cat is surprisingly well-behaved, not like a cat." Kamiyagawa sighed.

It stands to reason that there should still be an impenetrable wall of air around the wall of the school, and only strange stories can really overcome this spatial limitation and reach the street outside.

And the cat shopkeeper is not a foreign visit.

"It seems that the core of the House of Everything has given it some special abilities. Looking at the props, this wonderful house of everything seems to be quite powerful, so don't worry about that little gold gradient for the time being. ”

"Hopefully, when it returns, it will surprise me."

After watching his cat leave, Kamiyagawa looked at the three statues next to the gods, and his eyes fell on the body of the third beast figure.

It's a statue of a new god gouging dog.

Just looking at the tin statue gives people a fierce and hideous feeling.

"In a sense, I'm really happy and happy with my family now, and I have both cats and dogs." Kamiyagawa laughed as he looked at the statue of the corpse gouging dog.

The ability of his own dog, after Kamiya contracted it, he confirmed it on "Strange Tales of Strange Things" on the way home. Overall very satisfying -

[Shikigami Name: Gouver]

[Rating: E-Class Strange Tales]

[Skill: Brute Force]

[Brute Force: The corpse gourd has excess goblin brute force, and the specific quantified bite force can reach 6000 pounds.] ]

[Special Skill: Corpse Scraping]

[A special ability unique to a handful of corpse gouging dogs.] Different from the general candle flame cultivation system, the Shikigami with this ability cannot absorb the breath of the candle flame and cannot be cultivated through the black candle. Instead, you must strengthen yourself by eating the flesh essence of other strange stories. ]

[After the corpse gouging dog eats the flesh and blood of other strange talks, there is a very small probability of shaving off the opponent's ability and using it for his own use.] ]

[Currently, the maximum capacity of the Corpse Scraper skill is 1.] Planes down new abilities that exceed the maximum capacity, and can designate an old ability to forget. ]

[Corpse Planer Skill: Blank]

Inujiro has a total of two initial skills.

Among them, [Brute Force] seems to be a general skill.

As far as Kamiya knows, Miss Mary also has this ability.

In the instructions given by the system, the data embodied for Mary is the strength of both arms. The corpse gourd gives specific data on the bite force.

There's not much to say about this warrior's inclined skill.

The important thing is the second skill that comes with the corpse throwing dog.

It's not an alien, but it has a special skill.

And this special skill, it also ...... So special!

"If you don't eat, you can use incense, but you can eat other strange flesh essence to strengthen and advance. This trait should save a lot of soul crystals that cultivated gods should have invested. ”

"And this ability to cut down the enemy's skills for your own use. According to the explanation of the gamification of the system, there is currently only one upper limit of sub-skills that the corpse gouge can carry. But maybe you can carry more when you get stronger. ”

"Then this is amazing, the plasticity of the big black dog will be super strong."

After staring at the Shikigami statue of the corpse gouging dog for a few seconds, Kamiyagawa whispered, "Inujiro." ”

Immediately, a black beast figure stood up beside him in response to the call.

It is the size of a calf, with long, black and smooth hair, and its eyes glow red like lantern fire. In appearance, it looks more like a black ferocious wolf than a dog.

This is Kamiya's third Shikigami Gouver.

"Whew."

When the black wolf dog appeared, he hung his head slightly and clamped his tail slightly. The ears that were originally erected by the alert were also a little drooping, turning into airplane ears.

It faced Kamiya, the onmyoji, and behaved very obediently, but it was also a little afraid.

Dogs, like their ancestors, wolves, have always had a strong sense of social hierarchy.

Inujiro's current appearance should be forced to regard Kamiya as a "head dog" type of existence.

"Don't be so nervous, I'm not a devil. I'm your new master from today onwards, and we're going to get along. Kamiyagawa reached out and patted the black wolfdog on the head.

The latter just whimpered and shrugged his head, a little frightened, but did not avoid it.

"By the way, I prepared some good things for you in advance, which can be regarded as a gift package for your new employees." Kamiya said this, and pulled out something from the [Mirage Cloth Bag] with his backhand.

Forcibly contract the other party to do Shikigami, how much to give some benefits.

What Kamiyagawa took out was a dark red piece of jerky that looked like several different parts stitched together.

【Incineration Dried Liver】

"Wang?"

The corpse gourd barked softly, shook the tip of its black nose, and slowly approached its master's side.

"For you." Kamiyagawa handed out the jerky.

The black dog lowered his eyes, carefully took out the piece of dark red jerky that was glued together, took it out of his master's hand, and pulled away a little before raising his head and chewing and swallowing.

A piece of liver dried up and was swallowed into its stomach.

The moment it ate this enhanced material, there was a clear flame aura burning on its body.

The corpse gourd really fits well with the liver dry.

Kamiyagawa picked up his phone and checked Shikigami information.

On the exclusive information page of the Corpse Planer, I saw the new abilities he had acquired.

The third skill.

[Special Skill: Karmic Fire]

[Negative karma harms the body like fire.] The Corpse Throwing Dog can induce the fire of bad karma and incinerate the enemy, and the karmic fire is accompanied by burn damage. ]

Because the new skill of [Karmic Fire] is obtained by absorbing and stitching the strange relics left behind by the burning ghosts.

It's like Mary's [Caged Bird] skill, Prajna's [Made of Fat Powder], [Tips for Powdering].

It does not temporarily reside in the [Corpse Planing] subskill slot.

"The compatibility between the corpse digging dog and the liver of the suturing burner is really high."

Kamiyagawa put down his phone and nodded with satisfaction.

"Wang."

The black dog barked softly and approached its master again, with a huge head arching the back of the hand of the arch god Tanigawa, and flicking its tail slightly.

The taste of the dried liver of the incinerator is very good for it.

After having a stutter, the black dog seems to have developed a little closeness to the new owner.

The proud black wolf dog never wants to be depressed for a long time, and it is a different matter if it is fed and sheltered.

"If you like this little snack. Next is this, but to be honest, I'm not sure what your process of accommodating this looks like. ”

Kamiyagawa put his hand into the [Mirage Cloth Bag] again, and took out a miserable white beast skull as if by magic.

The scarlet eyes of the corpse gouge suddenly froze.

It could feel a powerful force coming from the skull, which it couldn't resist.

It's being drawn, it's being called.

Some primal impulse in the body is agitated, calling.

The thirst for power made it unrestrained to become one with the skull.

Inujiro almost subconsciously stretched out his head and touched the [Inugami Skull].

The moment the white and hideous skull touched the black dog, it changed violently.

"Whew-"

Kamiyagawa heard that the skull actually let out a terrible beast howl, and then it was deeply embedded in the head of the corpse gouging dog.

With the embedding of the canine god's skull, the bone fascia on the corpse gouging dog made a "Titica" sound.

Its body is growing, it is rising.

The already strong muscles bulged and knotted, full of power and explosiveness, and the limbs began to become thick and able to support standing.

"Whew-"

The corpse gourd let out a powerful howl of excitement, and then turned into a black whirlwind and poured back into the statue.

Buzzing.

The phone vibrates.

[Your Shikigami Gourd has begun to merge with the special material [Inujin Skull!] ]
