5 a.m.

It's Saturday, and the great city of Tokyo hasn't fully woken up.

The windows were covered with mist, and outside there was a heavy fog with autumn dew and frost.

"Hah-"

Kamiyagawa yawned and woke up from his warm apartment bed.

On his bed, there was originally a gothic girl shape, a gorgeous and exquisite doll, quietly and lovingly leaning on the pillow.

However, the moment Kamiyagawa woke up, the light flowed in the beautiful glass eyes of the doll, and the whole turned into a red sneaky aura and dissipated.

Only a slightly aggressive, rose-blended benzoin fragrance remains.

Kamiyagawa sniffed the familiar smell on the bed, glanced over to the pillow, and didn't say anything.

Apparently I'm a little used to this.

Kamiyagawa pulled on his slippers and walked towards the bathroom, and after a while, a powerful sound of water could be heard inside.

"I'm still sleepy......

Last night, Kamiya pulled Mary, who had just entered the B rank, to study for a long time.

After all, it's the first time that my family has stepped into such a realm, so it's understandable that I'll be a little excited.

Through last night's research test, Kamiyagawa can be sure that Mary's current strength is not what it used to be, and it is not the same.

However, the state is slightly unstable.

For example, last night at Flower Bell Trick School, Mary covered the entire school map with a raging red mist, but after about 40 minutes, she gradually began to lose her support.

In the end, he was even forced to return to the statue to rest.

"Gollum ......" Kamiyagawa thought to himself as he brushed his teeth in the mirror in the bathroom, "So my guess yesterday should be fine, after entering the B rank, Mary really needs something like faith to strengthen herself, similar to giving herself an anchor point."

Building a shrine for Mary is indeed a top priority.

After washing, Kamiyagawa returned to the room and took out the [Takamagaha Shintsuki].

After the touch, the consciousness detached from the body, entered the inner world of the substitute dead paper man, and teleported to Takamagahara.

There's a reason he's waking up so early today.

Because I felt that there was a familiar aura in Gao Tianyuan, it belonged to the breath of the medicine seller.

Kamiyagawa is now also the titular owner of the Broken Takamagahara, and he can sense it when the medicine seller enters it.

……

Takamagahara.

Next to the bright red torii, thick yellow and green dots of light are flying.

Dressed in a black-streaked array of feathers, Kamiyagawa appeared under a dense shreak of light.

In today's shrine, the candle-making monk and Jue are not there, but you can see the medicine seller wearing a square scarf, painting on his face, and a large medicine box beside him.

Realizing the return of the master here, the corners of the medicine seller's purple mouth rose: "The future ghost and god co-master, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"yes, yes, long time no see." Kamiya nodded, and then his face turned resentful, "I found that since you left the bell in the god hall, I don't ring the bell, and you don't want to take the initiative to come."

You're compulsively spending!

"Hehe, how could it be." The medicine seller still had that gentle, but completely unpredictable smile, "What about the candle-making monk and the divine craftsman?"

"It is estimated that they are all resting in Fu Mourning Township. I told you last time.,A hidden world linked by Takamagahara was opened by me.,The current passage into the hidden world is very stable.。 They like to go there when they're done with their work and when they're fine...... On vacation, find all kinds of funeral gods to play. It's too boring to be in the hall all the time."

The last time the medicine seller came to Takamagahara, it was a decisive battle against the god of plague.

It was also summoned by ringing the bell, and Kamiyagawa asked him to borrow the Demon Retreat Sword at that time.

I had seen it that time.

However, he didn't know Jue before selling medicine, and he didn't know Jue's master.

Unlike the candle monk, there is no friendship and intersection between the two, so they just simply greeted each other.

"It seems that the candle-making monk is doing well with you, and it was the right choice to entrust him to you in the first place."

"That's, I'm pretty reliable - by the way, to get down to business, I'm looking for you this time because, I saw a cave in Aokigahara, and there were some murals in the cave with ...... recorded on it."

「……」

Kamiyagawa roughly told the medicine seller about the scene he saw in the Pig King's Cave.

With the experience of the last time, he did not call the "eastward crosser" by his name in the process of narration.

The medicine seller didn't say a word, and after listening carefully to Kamiyagawa's speech, he was silent for a while before he spoke, "It seems that you know something about my master."

"Your master is indeed the master who crossed east during the Qin and Han dynasties." Kamiyagawa pondered, "What is his current state?"

"My master is in a lot of trouble, and the godhead is polluted...... "The medicine seller's eyes showed a rare hint of loneliness, "I can't tell you too much about the specific situation, with your current strength, you can't cope with that." You should know later, but not now."

"Oh."

Kamiyagawa nodded.

Although there were some riddlers in the words of the medicine seller, he was not angry at all.

That eastward crosser now feels very restrained, just shouting about it will invite danger, if you know his specific situation, God knows what bad things will happen?

The more you know, the faster you'll go crazy.

Kamiyagawa has always been very obedient to persuasion, and what he shouldn't know at this stage, he won't understand it first, anyway, it's beyond his ability.

I'll talk about it when the strength comes up later.

Kamiyagawa: "By the way, as I said earlier, I was in the cave of the Pig King, and I was rescued by the Dream Eater Tapir because I told your master's name, which caused a strange danger. When you heard that I was going to deal with a dream monster, you immediately suggested that I contract a tapir to be a Shikikami, haven't you thought about this question for a long time?"

"There are several ways to get rid of that babble pollution, but there is a price to pay for it. Now that you have learned the [Soul Command], then contracting a Dream Eater Tapir is undoubtedly the most convenient and harmless way."

The medicine seller said in a calm tone.

"You've really thought about it." Kamiyagawa scratched the back of his head, "Thank you."

The feeling of selling medicine to Kamiya has always been very friendly.

Although it has always been expensive to buy things and borrow swords from him, on the whole, he seems to be a reliable ally.

"The medicine seller will be close to and help me like this, I guess it's also an investment. If I really become the co-master of ghosts and gods, he may still need my help with something, maybe it has something to do with his master."

Kamiyagawa guessed.

Between the changes in his thoughts, he thought of something, so he spoke again: "There is another problem, that is, the kind of babbling pollution after calling your master's name...... Look at the way I look, how many times can I withstand it? Can you try to shout again in the future?"

"What are you going to do?" The medicine seller was a little surprised, but after a while, his face became clear, "Your idea is really dangerous, but since you want to become the co-master of ghosts and gods, it seems that you are not taking an absolutely safe path in the first place."

"Sounds like I could really try shouting again?"

"Well, I can't tell. But with the help of the Dream Eater Tapir, with the help of my Master's current state, with your current strength, maybe two or three times of whispering pollution can still be withstanded. But you must not try too much, or you will be completely polluted and irretrievable—"

"You should understand, I'm not talking about your body that you can throw away at any time in the inner world, but your body and mind in the world will be completely polluted, please pay attention and be careful."

"I see." Kamiyagawa nodded thoughtfully.

Sometimes, the danger is not absolute and may be exploited.

Just like a long time ago, when Mary's existence was still dangerous to Kamiya, it wasn't used to treat Hanako in the toilet.

The whispering pollution brought about by calling the name of the Dongdu may also be able to achieve this effect at certain times.

It's risky, though.

In the God Hall, I learned some information about the eastward crossers simply and safely.

Then Kamiya tentatively asked again if there was a way to get the trapped people in the inner world out of trouble.

The medicine seller didn't know much about this, but based on his own insight and understanding, he proposed to find an answer from the reason why the living entered the inner world.

The people came in through Rutsuki Station, and it is estimated that they will have to go out through Rutsuki Station in the end.

After the conversation, according to the agreement, after Kamiyagawa rang the bell and called the medicine seller, he had to complete the low elimination of 5,000 soul crystals.

This consumption is not difficult to achieve.

There are a lot of good things here after all.

The [Life Extension Purple Gold Cream] that can support Kamiya Chuan to wear a mask in reality was knocked off the last time he fought the plague god, and it is necessary to replenish it, a dose of 8,000 soul crystals.

Next, we will explore the Sato-world Fuji Pass to find the source of the fall of Jukai, and it is very likely that you will encounter the boss of the Sekiji Yamahiko.

And about this fallen evil god, Kamiya has already learned part of it from the murals of the Pig King's Cave, and there is a possibility of pulling out the magic sword.

Borrow 5,000 soul crystals once from the Demon Exorcism Sword.

No matter which option Kamiyagawa chooses, the minimum consumption target can be achieved.

After thinking about it for a while, Kamiya still chose to borrow the Demon Sword.

At present, there is no big enemy in the real world, and the [Life Extension Purple Gold Cream] will have time to harvest a wave of soul crystals from the Human Face Tree and Er Qiye in the future, and it will not be too late to ring the bell to find a medicine seller to buy the goods after collecting the money.

Knowing Kamiyagawa's needs, the medicine seller simply handed over the ornate dagger adorned with red and green gems.

"Since you chose to borrow a sword, I need to warn you."

"What?"

"You said that the enemy you will face this time is Fallen Yamahiko, based on the information you have now, according to my estimate, you must be mentally prepared that the Demon Exorcism Sword will not be able to kill it with one blow."

Kamiyagawa: ?

Well?

Said that the A-level will retire as soon as the sword is drawn?

According to the information given to me by "Strange Tales of Things", Hiko Fallen Yama is obviously only B-grade!

Engage in false propaganda here, the product effect is subject to the actual situation, and the final interpretation right belongs to you, right?

"Don't worry." The medicine seller shook his head, "You guess that the fallen mountain god is related to the fallen mountain god of Mount Fuji that my master killed a long time ago, and there is no problem with this idea. But those black maggots, I think you've seen them."

"Well, when King Pig was dying, he was completely covered in those maggots. And all of a sudden, it has gained the momentum of a B-class weird talk."

"Those maggots are the embodiment of the Fallen Breath, and they are directly related to an extremely high being, so the Demon Exorcism Sword cannot deal with them directly." The medicine seller said in a calm tone, "If you want to maximize the effect of the Demon Exorcism Sword, you must first break through the packages of those maggots."

The level of theoretical knowledge of the medicine seller is still very high.

According to what Kamiya just told about the encounter with Aokihara Jukai, a lot of things were analyzed, and in one sentence.

Those black maggots are really weird.

Moreover, the individuals attached to the black maggot and the black maggot are not the same as each other.

Previously, when the Pig Sasa King was deified, Kamiyagawa tried to attack it with fire and thunder, but the damage was negated by the endless stream of black maggots.

Later, by mistake, he stabbed the bayonet of the [Banshee] into the upper jaw of the Pig Pipe King, fired three shots in a row, and even hit its brain, and barely solved the evil deified Pig King.

"I see." Kamiyagawa stretched out his hand and took the demon sword next.

It seems that the [Form Truth: Demon Exorcism Sword] is not omnipotent in the face of strange talk below the A-level, and there are ways to avoid being killed by it with one blow.

Being wrapped in black maggots is one of the most evil countermeasures.

It is assumed that the fallen mountain hiko that Kamiyagawa wants to defeat is actually a stitching monster formed by something left over from the mountain god of Mt. Fuji, who was killed a long time ago, wrapped in black maggots.

Then you must follow the advice of the medicine seller and find a way to break the maggots on the appearance of Fallen Yamahiko first.

Then, using the "form", "truth", and "reason" related to the mountain god of Mt. Fuji obtained from the Inono cave, he used the demon exorcism sword against the remnants of the mountain god within him.

It's not that easy to say.

Moreover, Kamiyagawa has never seen the appearance of Fallen Yamahiko, and I don't know if there is a possibility of repeating the old trick by retreating the evil god Inosashi.

But at all, there is an immature idea of initially retreating from the boss of the pass.

Now that Mary has reached the B rank, Kamiya's hard power has been greatly improved. In addition, he himself also has some other hole cards to rely on, including the cloud mirror and the demon exorcism sword he just borrowed, and it should not be completely impossible to win if he touches the fallen mountain.

……

Kamiyagawa got the Demon Exorcism Sword from Takamagahara, first hung up and went offline, returning to reality.

After a while, he devoured the exquisite breakfast that Prajna had prepared.

The breakfast prepared today was more Western-style, a sandwich with ham and fried egg, a cup of hot coffee with milk, and a salt-fried salmon.

I had enough energy to take in, and even though I woke up early today, Kamiyagawa felt full of energy.

I have to say that since I have run the kitchen at home, the food I made has been adjusted several times, and it is getting better and better, and it is more and more in line with Kamiya's appetite.

The stomach is really firmly grasped.

"I'm full, thank you for your hospitality."

After breakfast, Kamiyagawa re-entered the number and teleported to the god of Jukai.

Today he is going to do big things.

It's Saturday, so there's plenty of time.

Mary's promotion went smoothly, and the exorcism sword was also loaned. It's time to explore the Fuji Pass in the inner world and see what's inside the fallen source of Jukai.

In the sea of trees, the forest wind blows, setting off layers of tree waves, making a loud noise.

Kamiyagawa called out the little old man's body from the side of the shrine, and the master and servant began to march towards the snow-covered and cloud-shrouded Mt. Fuji in the distance.
