In the kitchen, Hannya is preparing the sukiyaki pot to eat tonight.

"Boil the kelp in boiling water for five minutes, then add the bonito flakes and soak for 20 minutes to make a dashi for later use."

"Mix mirin, soy sauce, sake, and sugar to make a sauce for later use."

"I see, I see."

And Kamiyagawa was walking back and forth by her side.

The warm lights shine, the hot water mist rises, and the sound of pots and pans colliding and the sound of boiling water bubbling are intertwined, creating an indescribable sense of warm family atmosphere.

Unlike the previous low-rent apartment kitchenette where one person was too busy to cook, the kitchen in the new home is large and has more than enough space, so there will be no problem accommodating one more person.

Kamiyagawa originally wanted to give Pranya a hand, but Pranya didn't look down on his cooking skills and didn't let him interfere.

"Tsk!"

Moreover, it was probably because it was really annoying to see Kamiya Chuan by his side, and he finally pushed Kamiya out of the kitchen.

"Why don't you know the hearts of good people? I'm afraid you won't be able to keep busy. ”

Kamiya, who was driven into the corridor, muttered like this, but in the end he chose to obey Prajna's will and did not go into the kitchen to disturb her again.

Prajna's cooking workload tonight is really quite large.

You need to prepare two large servings of sukiyabe.

Because tonight is not only to entertain guests, Kamiyagawa also plans to bring all his strange gods to have a hot pot party together.

It was a formal celebration of moving to a new home, and it made everyone happy.

It is strange to be able to eat human food and drink human alcohol, which Kamiyagawa has known for a long time.

He even knew that some weirdos would get drunk like humans after drinking too much alcohol.

In this regard, Kamiya, who can barely be regarded as half a "self-taught folklorist", has also conducted special research and conjectures, and he thinks-

The physiological phenomenon of "drunkenness" in strange people should be related to the reason for their birth.

For a long time in ancient times, especially around the Heian period, Japan was said to be a country where demons and demons coexisted.

Since they coexist, in the traditional weird tales that have been handed down from ancient times, a large number of weird tales will be consciously or unintentionally assigned to some people by the storytellers.

Take, for example, the matter of "drunkenness".

In traditional Japanese tales, Tanuki is an image of a drunken drunk and drunk all day long.

In addition, there are many folk stories similar to "a certain youkai who is a party to the disaster gets drunk after drinking alcohol, and is finally taken advantage of by the righteous samurai or onmyoji to retreat".

Like the famous ghost king of the great rivers and mountains, the wine swallowing boy, in this way was killed by Yuan Laiguang in the corresponding strange story.

So, that's the background of the monster story.

And all kinds of strange stories, embedded in such a big background, the strange stories born from it, if they are not specifically explained, will naturally fit the background by default, and have some physiological characteristics that only human beings have.

Kamiyagawa also once made a guess ranking of the "human physiological characteristics" of different types of strange theories in the spirit of research-

The highest is naturally the strange talk of traditional public opinion.

Secondly, it should be the strange talk of the new generation of public opinion.

Finally, there are the undead monsters, which are born out of souls and resentments, they are more like ghosts, and they have the lowest human physiology.

Kamiyagawa even boldly doubted that maybe the public opinion monsters could even do such a thing as having a child.

Of course, this is just a suspicion.

No practical research has been done yet.

Perhaps, maybe Uncle Yuuki can put it into practice?

Oh no......

Maybe on the point of "whether public opinion can have children", Uncle Hehuan's school of spiritual art has long had examples of combining theory and practice.

"Curiosity is up, I have time to ask Uncle Yuuki."

"Shhh...... That's not right! I was kicked out of the kitchen by Prajna, and what the hell was I thinking when I was standing alone in the hallway? When I see Pranya cooking, I immediately think of strange talk about eating and drinking, I immediately think of the physiological characteristics of strange talk, and I immediately think of whether I can have children......

Kamiyagawa reflected on himself, gathered his complicated thoughts, and turned to go to the living room.

Since Pranya won't let him help, let's go to the living room and watch TV with Zashiki and Inugami.

……

Onizuka: [Kamiya, Kamiya, I'm almost there!] ]

Kamiya: [Okay.] ]

After waiting in the living room for a while, and replying to a line from Onizuka, the smell of hot food began to waft from the kitchen.

"Ahh

Shibao beside him smelled the fragrance and began to get excited, and his expression was visibly greedy.

"Well, it does smell good."

Kamiyagawa casually accosted the little god of good fortune.

The heart said that if his own family is in the housekeeping, he does have a lot of talent and strength.

Seems to have kicked me out of the kitchen, and the cooking seemed to be even faster.

Jingle Bell –

At this time, the doorbell rang at the door.

It seems that it should be Onitsuka Kiritaru who has arrived.

Kamiya got up and went to open the door.

The door of the house opened, and he saw the little witch he hadn't seen for a long time.

Onizuka wore a long woolen coat tonight, with a thick black scarf around his neck, and the black and white checkered pattern of the coat was very atmospheric, loose and wide and neat.

With her long black and straight hairstyle today, as well as smart and beautiful facial features, she has the temperament of a chaebol lady.

However, the little witch was originally a second generation, and she was the heir of Juqiong Shrine, and her savings were not bottomless.

There is nothing wrong with saying that she is the eldest lady of the spirit master world.

"Kamiya, congratulations on moving to a new home!"

Hotaru Onizuka holds a big red gift box in her hand and smiles at Kamiyagawa, revealing a mouthful of white and neat teeth that are rare for Japanese girls.

When the little witch is not smiling, because of her super high appearance, as well as the temperament of the eldest lady on her body, plus the sharpness of the spirit master, she can give people a feeling that no one is close to.

But if you really laugh, you will be ruined immediately.

Every time I see Onizuka's smiling face, Kamiyagawa always thinks of the energetic little Shiba Inu, which is cute and full of wonderful silliness.

It's about the same as the actual personality of this guy.

"Thanks, come in, it's cold outside."

"Oooh! Excuse me! ”

Kamiya took the gift box with his hand, took off his shoes while Onizuka was in the hallway, opened the gift box and looked at it.

Inside was a cantaloupe tied with red silk.

A big one.

No wonder I felt heavy when I reached out and took this gift box.

In Japan, fruit prices are quite expensive.

In winter, cantaloupe, an out-of-season fruit, is all greenhouse, which is naturally more expensive.

Moreover, this housewarming gift sent by Onizuka also has a sign that reads-

[Shizuoka greenhouse cantaloupe]

Shizuoka greenhouse cantaloupe, Kamiyagawa has seen it in a fresh supermarket before, the melon is noble, and the price is comparable to light luxury.

The one Kamiya saw last time in the supermarket was less than half the size of the one in the gift box, and the price was 16,000 yen.

The one sent by Onizuka is estimated to be worth more than 30,000 yen.

can only say that it is worthy of her.

The little witch changed into her slippers, looked up and saw Kamiyagawa holding the cantaloupe she gave her in a daze, so she added, "I also bought it when I saw that I was hungry later." ”

"Then after eating the sukiyaki, let's eat it together."

Kamiyagawa smiled helplessly.

The housewarming gift sent by people with kindness must be accepted.

And when I think about it, I still owe 15 million to Onizuka, and compared to that huge sum, this cantaloupe doesn't seem to be nothing.

……

Because of the warmth of the house, Onizuka took off his woolen coat and scarf at the entrance, and changed his outfit into a white sweater with a half-high neck, a pleated long skirt, and white cotton socks.

It's quite homely.

"Kamiya, is your house warm and has the air conditioner turned on the whole house? No, it feels like something...... Hmm, what is it? ”

"It's Rihefang, she has heated the house."

"Huh? When did you have another day and a fang? ”

"It's a long story, I'll tell you more about it when we eat."

"Oooh. Kamiya, Kamiya, take me on a tour of your new home? ”

"Absolutely."

"I just heard you say that I didn't feel real. But now that I have come to your house, I have found that your new home is really big...... Well, the bed in your master bedroom is so big, too. ”

“……”

Kamiyagawa took Onizuka for a brief tour of the house, and when he returned to the first floor after a circle, the sukiyaki pot had already been prepared.

Today's dinner was not eaten in the dining room, but the larger living room was chosen.

There is a large TV that plays the background sound of eating, and the sliding door leading to the courtyard is transparent, so you can see the scene outside.

The atmosphere of team building is very good.

In the living room, there was a large table, two wheat rice stone cooking pots, each on the alcohol stove.

In the pot, there are artemisia, cabbage, konjac shreds, cut the fragrant solitude of the cross knife flower, fried until golden on both sides, and a large slice of red and white thinly sliced beef snowflake meat.

Then pour in the stock and sauce, and you can ignite the solid alcohol and wait for the meal to start.

In the Kamiya family's style of gods and monsters, like the hearse group, the little old man, and the dog god, including the newly recruited Hihebo and the dirt taste, they consciously put together a table.

Toshima Oishi began pouring sake for the other weirdos.

The little old man, and the dog in the human-like sitting position tonight, are very fond of warm sake.

There are also those who don't like it very much after tasting it, such as Rihefang, this little thumbelina dipped in a sip of wine, and her whole little face was choked red, but she didn't dare to speak in front of a group of seniors, just pursed her lips, her eyes were red and sat down in the corner of the dining table.

"Kamiya, your family's Shikimi monsters are so interesting."

"yes."

Kamiyagawa took the little shrine maiden and sat down face to face at the empty table in the room.

As soon as they sat down, a red and black dress and purple and white undergarments were outlined on the left and right sides of the square table.

Mary and Prajna appeared, also sitting face to face.

"Kamiya, these two Shikkaimi under your command are so beautiful. Haha, ha. Onizuka said in a more ordinary tone.

"Ahem, I also have unbeautiful Shikigami under my command, such as the dog god and the dream eater tapir."

Kamiyagawa pretended to be calm and took a sip of tea, and the hot tea in the cup shook slightly.

"Wang ......"

"Puff ......"

The dog and the little white pig at the next table were originally happily waiting for the sukiyaki pot to boil, but at this time they all turned back with resentment.

"I mean, dog, you are very powerful and domineering, and tapir you are very cute and cute. You just don't belong to the pretty type. Kamiya put down his teacup, his calm tone unchanged.

The two beast shikami, after hearing this, they both turned around.

"That's right."

The little shrine maiden didn't continue to say anything more about the appearance of Kamiya's subordinate Shikami, but silently began to look left and right.

The Prajna on the right sits in a dignified and elegant manner, with two masks floating around him.

She was holding a cup of hot tea in her hand, taking small sips, her expression was very abstinent, but with a bit of Yamato-style gentleness.

And I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, with the current posture of Pranya, even though she is still a girl on the outside, she looks like a housewife in this family, as if she is swearing sovereignty to this family.

After sitting like this for a while, Pranya's eyelids drooped slightly, his eyes wandered, and he glanced at the little witch girl next to him as if he was inadvertent.

Prarua is still more polite and restrained to Onizuka tonight.

Not only because Onizuka is a guest at home, but also because Pranya has long known that the house where his family lives now, most of which should belong to this human girl.

can only say that his own stupid onmyoji is too useless.

Let Prajna have to endure humiliation.

"I won't do anything to you, though, but Mary's bad woman doesn't."

Prajna continued to drink tea, but he thought so badly in his heart.

Because of the appearance of the little witch of the onizuka, Pranya felt that Mary tonight was particularly pleasing to the eye.

"Huh?"

The little witch looked at Prajna, tilted her head slightly, looked puzzled, and then turned back to look at Mary on the left.

Mary is different from Prajna, and at the same time as Onizuka looks over, she also looks back.

But there was no expression on his face.

Onizuka had always known that Kamiya had a Miss Mary as Shikigami, but it was the first time he had seen it so closely.

More than half a year ago, Onizuka and Granny Blind chased and lost a C-grade Miss Mary in Tokyo. Later, Onizuka always suspected that the one next to Kamiya was the same as Mary, who they didn't successfully retreat from in the first place.

But it doesn't matter if it's not.

With Kamiya's current influence in Tokyo's Spiritual Realm, even the official organization wouldn't care about such a trivial matter.

"If you look closely, this Miss Mary is even more beautiful. However, the ...... just now "

Onizuka has been observing Mary's events for longer than it seems.

On the one hand, it is because Mary's appearance is really eye-catching.

The red and black dress, the delicate facial features of the Europa race, the temperament like an iceberg, and the slender waist can't hide the slender legs even if you sit down.

Girls subconsciously love to watch it.

But if you want to talk about beauty, Prajna is also beautiful.

What really makes Onizuka care more about Mary is that at a certain moment when she and Mary just looked at each other, she suddenly felt an indescribable sense of oppression from the other party.

But it's fleeting.

Even Onizuka was a little scared in the face of that oppressive force.

"Miss Mary seems to be strong. I could feel her breathing, but what kind of strength did she have to rate, C-grade? Or is it higher? It's B-grade...... Kamiya's Shikigami can be so powerful? No...... Impossible, right? But the feeling of oppression just now ......"

Onizuka's mind changed, and perhaps out of the professional sensitivity of the soul slayer, she then thought of another question:

"If I play Miss Mary under Kamiya directly, can I win?"

"Even if he can barely win, Kamiya has three other Shikigami, as well as himself. If you think about it this way, I'm not Kamiya's opponent at all? ”

At this time-

Grunt.

The lid of the Maifan stone cooking pot on the table is lifted, and the white water vapor rises, and the aroma of food overflows.

Suki nabe is ready to eat.
