322 Sacrifice and Harvest
"It's great if you'd help."
The eight-foot woman got up more calmly, and did not worry too much about whether Kamiya was willing to accept Shikanoya as an apprentice.
Her purpose should be to let Shikanoya learn some spells preliminarily, so that she can stabilize her spiritual power.
The eight-foot woman knows how to negotiate.
First offer a condition that is not very acceptable, and then accept the compromise plan offered by Kamiyagawa to achieve the goal.
The road must be taken one step at a time.
It's already possible to give up the Anglerfish-sama's remnants, which are already difficult to take, in exchange for the opportunity to learn basic spells from Shikanoya and the orthodox soul slayer.
It can be regarded as helping little JC open the door to practicing spells to continue his life.
It was a much better start than her mother's.
For the rest, let's keep up the good work after that.
"Hmm...... I'll help arrange it later. ”
As for who to put Shikanoya to study, Kamiyagawa has already thought about it-
Pure Land Shinshu Minami Honganji Temple.
Kamiyagawa has a bit of a friendship with the future successor of Minami Honganji, Master Kanazawa.
After contact, it can be determined that the other party's character is also very good.
is a modest and courteous second generation of Buddhism.
The Pure Land Shinshu is already good at some milder Buddhist mantras, which are very suitable for beginners to learn.
Placing the little jc in the temple can be regarded as a more thoughtful consideration for her.
Through the relationship with Mage Kanazawa, there is a high probability that it will be okay to let Kanoya go there and learn a little fur spell.
The price is that Kamiyagawa will owe Kanazawa a not-so-big favor.
Just learn some fur spells, and this favor must not be too difficult to return.
Moreover, after Kamiya became famous in Tokyo's spirit-removing circles, Minami Honganji should be very willing to sell a face and reach such a connection with Kamiya, a "ghost disciple" and "rising star".
In addition to the spirit, it relies on fighting and killing, but it also talks about human feelings.
As for why you don't choose Yuuki Makenyu and Onizuka Kirita, who have a better relationship and are more familiar with each other.
On the one hand, the Pure Land Shinshu Minami Honganji Temple is indeed more friendly to newcomers.
On the other hand –
Uncle Yuuki is good at Hehuan Spiritual Magic and American Ancient Martial Arts.
Not proficient in magic.
If the little witch is a witch, all kinds of Qingming bellflower spells are really specialized.
But Onizuka she, well, was too busy.
If the path on Kanazawa Xingluo's side doesn't work, it's better to consider them again.
Eight-foot woman: "Kamiya-sama, the innate spiritual power of the spirit fetus will regurgitate things that damage the body, please don't mention it in front of Yukino's child, at least don't mention it until she becomes an adult." She only knew that she was indeed a little different, but she didn't know that this 'difference' was likely to harm her in the future. She's a good boy, and I don't want her to worry about a life of fear, and neither does her mom. ”
"Understood." Kamiya nodded.
After making a deal with the eight-foot woman, you can now collect the second loot.
Kamiyagawa could see that the material that exploded from the anglerfish must also be a good thing.
Moreover, he also felt the familiar aura of calamity and bad luck that he had felt on the battlefield from above.
[Get the same angler!] ]
[Homologous Anglerfish (Super Epic Material): The dried corpse of a male anglerfish that is dissolved from the head organs and contained in the body of a female anglerfish has the paradoxical ability to spread calamity and bad luck. ]
[Strange tales of similar nature, if you can absorb this anglerfish specimen for your own use, your strength can be improved.] ]
The anglerfish exploded, and the [same body angler] looked like a large fish specimen.
The tissue of the head part of the fish looks like a lake and is unrecognizable.
It felt like the "big fish-shaped" flesh that swung out from under her skin and spread bad luck black smoke during the battle with Anglerfish-sama.
The anredient is a creature with a peculiar physiology.
The females are large and the males are small.
The meaning of the existence of male fish is to absolutely parasitize female fish.
Once a male anglerfish has found its counterpart, he will quickly bite the female's body.
The male then goes blind because he no longer needs visual aids to find a mate.
Fibrotic tissue is formed at the occlusion, which firmly fixes the male fish on the female fish, and then the organs on the body gradually degenerate and disappear, leaving only **, which becomes an immovable appendage on the female anglerfish and becomes an indispensable part of the life of the female anglerfish.
The large piece of fish that had swung out of the Anglerfish's body before must have been these things.
And the [same body angler] that I am buying now is essentially a strange relic.
It is accommodated by strange talk of similar nature.,You can inherit the corresponding ability.。
It is estimated that it is the power that spreads bad luck.
For similar materials, Kamiyagawa has already bought several copies.
Good stuff indeed.
It is very helpful to improve the strength of his subordinates.
Under Kamiya's hands, the strange talk that can accommodate this relic should be counted as one of the daughters of Shikiho.
Zashiki boy himself is a little monster who can affect the relationship between good and bad to a certain extent.
In addition, the Anglerfish looks like a piece of dried meat.
The dog god who has the same nature as the strange relics of the meat blocks, maybe there is also the possibility of absorbing them.
"After that, I will study it, and whoever has a higher compatibility with the [same body angler] will be used well."
Kamiyagawa thought so in his heart, and put away this extra super epic material.
Anyway, no matter who you give it to, this dried fish material has to be pressed to the bottom of the box for a while.
The relics that broke out from the B-level strange talk, with the current strength of Shikiho and Inujiro, will definitely not be able to absorb it.
As an old father and master, it is reasonable to help his daughter or subordinates take care of their belongings for a period of time.
After putting away the [Identical Anglerfish], Kamiya raised his head and looked up at the eight-foot woman sitting opposite: "I have a question for you." ”
"You say."
The eight-foot woman faced Kamiya, who was still a little wet and tempted, and had rare restraint.
This may be the case because an important agreement has just been made.
In the heart of the eight-foot woman, she should attach great importance to Kanoya Yukino.
"I've had a bit of a feeling before, are you Shikigami of Shikigami of Shikanoya? But I also think the connection between you is very weak. ”
Kamiyagawa's [Spiritual Arts] attainments are already very deep, and when I first saw the eight-foot girl, I felt a little like the other party was not in a state of wild weirdness, and there was some kind of connection between her and Shikanoya.
But the connection is weak.
It's a bit reluctant to say that it's Shikigami and Onmyoji.
The eight-foot woman stretched out her hand and gently touched the charming cinnabar mole under the corner of her mouth with her thumb, and her fair skin was slightly sunken: "Yes, but it's not." ”
Kamiya: ?
Leave it with me and engage in contradictory philosophy, right?
"I'm Yukino's grandmother's Shikigami. But there is a certain connection with Yukino's mother, and Yukino itself. As you can see, this connection has become very faint here in Yukino. The eight-foot woman gave a further explanation:
"However, if you compare it to the Shikikjutsu you have mastered...... I don't really have a strong connection with Grandma Yukino. Moreover, the Xue Nai family's spirit control technique can only contract one spirit. ”
"Oh?"
Kamiya was slightly surprised.
Is the connection with Shikigami still family traditional? Three generations of one Shikigami handdown?
However, Kamiyagawa was quickly relieved.
He had known before that if Japan did not consider the strange and royal set of [Imperial Spiritual Techniques] that he had mastered, only the Hehuan Imperial Spiritual Technique of Uncle Yuuki's faction was barely complete.
The other schools of magic are basically incomplete and no one cares about them.
However, there are also many folk soul killers who are trying to complete the spirit control of those incomplete schools.
It's just that the final effect is not very good.
Shikanoya's grandmother may be a descendant of some kind of mutilated magic school scattered among the people.
And listening to the description of the eight-foot woman, the effect of this set of magic techniques of the Shikanoya family is not too good.
In his estimation, with the connection between Xiao JC and the eight-foot girl, even if the eight-foot girl attacks the master, she will not be subject to much backlash.
"So, the basis for your original contract with Grandma Kanoya was the Jizo statue that you carried with you, right?" Kamiya asked.
"Yes. If this Jizo statue is destroyed, the last bit of connection between me and Yukino will be gone. The eight-foot woman nodded calmly, and then laughed quite charmingly, "What do you want to do when Kamiya-sama asks so much?" Want to contract me to be a Shikigami? ”
"I did think about it that way before. But I think you wouldn't want to leave the Deer Fields House right now. ”
“po~po~po~”
The eight-foot woman's eyes were playful, and she sucked and loosened her lips in her signature voice.
She was originally sitting upright, but now she leaned slightly towards Kamiya.
I can smell the mature and bold woody aroma under the white sundress again.
"When Yukino can completely control her innate aura and will not be harmed by the aura, I will be happy to break the Jizo statue with my own hands and become your Shikigami Oh, Kamiya~-sama. Even if breaking the Jizo statue will cause me some damage, it's okay, I'm happy to. ”
The eight-foot woman's eyes are bright, and the cinnabar mole at the corner of her mouth is bewitching.
The tone couldn't tell if it was serious or joking.
Probably a little more of a joke.
Kamiyagawa: ......
But this is not a kind of NTR.
"Let's wait until that day." Kamiyagawa was silent for a moment, then moved back slightly.
Although Mary is recuperating in the statue at the moment, she feels as if she is about to rush out......
Kamiyagawa did not choose to force the contract of an eight-foot girl.
The spare god statue he held in his hand was an iron statue, and he had to harvest an additional copper ingot, and he could upgrade it once to accommodate the eight-foot woman of the lower B-rank.
And, if you do that, it's kind of a friend turning into an enemy.
If Shikanoya wants to go on the road of mastering spells and controlling his spiritual power to the extreme without being counterattacked, he can't do without the help of the eight-foot girl.
And the eight-foot woman is the god of the three generations of the small JC family.
Kamiyagawa could feel that she had a deep affection for Shikanoya.
After all, it's kind of watching little JC grow up.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have just sat down with a serious face and asked myself.
Although the eight-foot woman is a strange story of lust, it is also a rare and rational strange story that will rely on external objects and do not hesitate to weaken itself to suppress the nature of lust.
Between indulging her desires and protecting Shikanoya, she would undoubtedly choose the latter.
As for what she said, she would be happy to become Shikigami of Kamiya if she had the opportunity in the future......
I don't know if it's serious.
I'll talk about that later.
Anyway, Kamiyagawa has initially established a good friendship with Kanoya and the eight-foot girl, and a shrine has also been opened on Oguri Island.
It is already possible to use the identity of the "Ruzuki train conductor" to set up a Ruzuki platform here.
As a result, the eight-foot woman can take the Ruyue train to any of the dungeon maps opened by the Kamiya River.
"Later, when you really need help from an eight-foot girl, you can contact Shikanoya. Even if I got a strong neutral that is similar to Rabbit Pill and willing to assist me, this result is also good and acceptable. ”
Kamiyagawa thought so in his heart.
Smack.
At this moment, the door opened.
"I ordered the noodles, seafood noodles. Eat together...... Hmmm......"
Luyeya probed in, and paused awkwardly in the middle of his speech.
From her point of view, you can see that the eight-foot adult is wrapped in a white dress, and the mature and attractive waist-to-hip ratio is full.
You can also see the eight-foot adult leaning over his tall body, approaching the Kamiya River in a bullying posture that seems to be pushing backwards.
"Well, five minutes have passed...... Sorry, didn't I come at the wrong time? ”
Kanoya pulled on his pajamas and hat to hide his somewhat hot face.
……
By the time Kamiyagawa returned to the inn from Kanoya's house, the rain had stopped and the sky had already dawned.
After a good rest, he planned to leave Oguri Island.
This visit to the island is still very rewarding.
However, after last night's fierce battle, the loss of their own side was not small.
First of all, the state of the baby is not good, the baby's fat little face is pale, and the mental state is also a little trance.
It's heart-wrenching.
Using F-rank strength to resist the calamity black smoke of a B-grade anglerfish, even if it only resists for a few seconds, the loss on her is very large.
It is estimated that I will have to continue to feed two or three small requiem candles in the next step to ease my strength.
And then there's Mary.
Mary was wounded a lot in the battle against the anglerfish, and in addition, it was a tough battle without the support of faith, and the cost was not small.
After the battle, Prajna gave her medicine.
Now Mary is in a slumber and will not be able to wake up for a short time.
In the next few days, it should also be combined with the conditioning of the small requiem candle to recover.
Finally, there is the dog god.
The dog rushed back in time to support in last night's battle, helping Kamiya resist the last wave of the anglerfish's dying counterattack.
It provided a key boost to Kamiyagawa's self-detonation offensive.
He was not lightly injured.
Later, when he checked the situation of the gods, Kamiya found that the dog's state was very strange.
Before he could receive the medicine of Prajna, he could not get out of the indented idol.
Kamiyagawa was worried about this for a while, and finally realized that the dog was about to be promoted.
Upgrade from D to C.
Directly tied to Prajna's existing rating.
The Devouring Dog God itself is upgraded by the peculiar extreme of devouring monsters and flesh.
When it was in Aokihara, it had eaten a lot of tree sea monsters such as Er Qiye.
During the Jukai boss battle, he ate the flesh and blood of the B-rank fallen mountain hiko.
Kamiyagawa was still a little worried at that time, whether there would be a problem with the dog eating the meat of the fallen Yamahiko, but follow-up observation found that it was completely a steel stomach, and there was nothing wrong.
Maybe it was a long time ago that biting the plague god and eating the wriggling flesh in the Cikong Hospital strengthened its digestive system......
Anyway, after eating the meat of the fallen mountain, the dog already has the strength of the D-level upstream weird.
And now that he is suddenly promoted, he should have eaten the meat of an anglerfish or a red ray.
Eating monsters and talking about the upgrading of flesh and blood, to say that it is ugly is the act of picking up leftovers.
But as a D-level weird talk, the dog god eats the leftovers of the B-level weird talk, and it's not surprising that he will be promoted.
In short, the situation of Shikigami under Kamiyagawa is-
Mary and Inugami are temporarily unavailable.
But after they have recuperated and been promoted, the strength of the Kamiya forces will make further breakthroughs.
……
Oguri Island.
The third day of Kamiyagawa's departure from the island.
Today is a rare sunny winter day, and the sun is warm.
Dressed in black, Shikanoya followed his father, who had returned from fishing, towards the funeral venue in the town.
This funeral belonged to Hanhei Asakawa.
The boy who became the sacrificial did not survive.
Even though Kamiyagawa and the Eight-Foot Girl had teamed up to defeat the anglerfish and the red ray, Asakawa Hanpei's physical condition still did not improve for a few days.
This situation was expected before.
When Kamiyagawa was still on Oguri Island, he asked Uncle Yuuki and Onizuka about the festival.
Judging from the current results, once it becomes a sacrificial sacrifice, the physique of an ordinary human boy with Asakawa Hanpei will not be able to live.
Source change app】
He was sacrificed to the sea by the power of the red ray.
Irretrievable.
In the funeral venue.
Little JC's father, Mr. Kanoya, went to visit Mr. and Mrs. Asakawa and said some words of comfort and condolences such as "festival mourning and change".
But at such times, no matter what you say, it looks pale.
Mr. and Mrs. Asakawa seem to have aged a lot in the past few days, but they still fight hard and greet the guests.
Kanoya Yukino followed his father in silence.
She glanced towards the center of the room.
A black-and-white photograph of Hanpei Asakawa was placed there, wrapped in black silk cloth, surrounded by white and yellow flowers.
In front of the posthumous photo are a few plates of pastries and fruits.
The two white candles burned quietly, the candle flame faint.
At the funeral site, there was no coffin of Asakawa Hanpei, and the body was not visible.
Shikanoya heard that the death of Asakawa Hanpei was very strange, and the boy who was originally white and chubby was thin and dry up in a short period of time, like the muscle fat of his body being drained, like a skeleton covered with skin.
Thinking of this bizarre and strange way of dying, little JC shuddered slightly.
After that, more and more people came to the funeral venue to mourn.
Maruyama, the mayor of the town, and Captain Iwashita, who is very good at fishing, also stood in the crowd dressed in black.
The funeral mourning ceremony officially began.
The funeral bell was sounded, and the audience fell silent.
Kanoya heard Mr. and Mrs. Asakawa sobbing at the front.
She tilted her head and her eyes swept over the room.
Most of the adults dressed solemnly fit the atmosphere, their eyebrows lowered, and their faces wore sad and sympathetic looks.
But there are also a few people, including Mayor Maruyama and Captain Iwashita.
Their expressions......
They may be heavy, compassionate, sympathetic.
But under their external expressions, they seem to be silent, hiding other emotions.
Is it a sincere rejoicing, or is it ...... Joy?
Kanoya can't say it, I can't feel it.
Bell Bell –
The bell rang again.
Lu Yewu's eyes flickered, and he looked at the black and white statue surrounded by fresh white and yellow flowers again, and only felt a dullness in his chest.
……
At the pier of Oguri Island, several fishing boats broke the waves and went out to sea.
One of them belonged to Captain Ota.
As the fishing boat sailed out into the open sea, Captain Ota looked at the radar in the cabin and quickly found a school of fish underwater.
"60 degrees to the left front!"
He gave orders to the crew over the walkie-talkie.
Not far away, some seabirds flutter up and down, and a large area of the water is swelling.
It's clear that there is a sizable school of floating fish in these waters!
This is the best news that Captain Daejeon has encountered when he went out to sea since the beginning of the fishing season in September!
He quickly calmed down and used the walkie-talkie to convey the fishing deployment to the crew.
"Get off the net!"
The speedboat carrying a huge seine net broke away from the mother ship and entered the sea.
A huge curtain of fishing nets slowly opens in this sea of floating fish.
The fish under the water probably smelled the danger, and the white spray on the surface of the water was even more violent.
“……”
"Throw underwater dye sticks!"
"Push the fish to the east!"
“……”
"Gather the bottom gang!"
"Pick up the net!"
“……”
Time passed, and Daejeon's commands came out of the walkie-talkie one by one.
The crews on deck skillfully cooperated, pulling up the purse seine nets.
Today's fishing grid is heavy outside.
As soon as the top of the net surfaced, a fat fish could be seen, struggling to turn in the net.
"Pick up the net!"
"Pull! Hard! ”
The crew was in high spirits.
It's a big fish full of purse seine nets!
The net rises higher and higher, towards the deck.
The fat-bodied fish were dehydrated, struggling even more violently, and the noise was jubilant.
The smell of seawater and the smell of fish mixed strongly, irritating the crew's noses and hearts.
"Full of blessings!"
"Full of blessings!"
The fishing boats in Daejeon resounded with inspiring and long-lasting cheers.
Patches of white-blue fish scales reflect the dazzling light that symbolizes a good harvest under the warm sunlight of the sea.
Captain Ota stood on the deck and watched as the sea slowly calmed down, shimmering with the sun's crimson sparkles.
He tightened his grip on the walkie-talkie and followed the joyful shouts of the crew:
"Full of blessings!"
That's great.
This year will be a good year.
