Saturday afternoon.

It's a sunny day.

Shikanoya finished her studies at Miss Yunju in Minato Ward and took the ghost locomotive home early.

Because there are not many classes today, plus the weather is good, she seems to be in a good mood.

Fawns are the type of people who find self-satisfaction easily.

It's not summer yet, and the temperature in Tokyo is quite comfortable.

But Shikanoya hadn't lived in Tokyo for long, and it would be a bit torturous to get hot, stuffy and humid in the city in the middle of summer.

Boom –

The ghost locomotive remained in [ghost acceleration], roaring through the courtyard wall and crashing headlong into the garage. Then with a handsome tail flick, Ohara's early boots kicked the ground, and the ghost motorcycle was firmly parked on the side of the ghost Mazda.

This high-tech parking action may be a bit redundant, after all, every time Ohara takes off the cat-eared helmet, the locomotive will dissipate.

But Shuai is done.

Shikanoya jumped down from the back seat: "It's been hard work for my sister for a long time!" ”

Carrying his schoolbag out of the garage, the fawn saw three figures on the other side of the courtyard.

Her two weird sisters, and the eight-foot adult.

"Is it the end of the world!? The eight-foot master actually stayed with the two masters, what a strange combination...... And the three of them are not tense. ”

Such a rare sight surprised Shikanoya.

And that side—

Stepping on a pair of small clogs and holding gardening scissors, Pranya was trimming the branches of grass and trees in the garden, and the eight-foot figure was standing beside her, observing with great interest.

As for Mary, she was sitting upright on the floor extending from the living room.

The wind chimes on the eaves swayed softly above her head.

Mary's attention was mostly not focused on the Prajna and Eight Feet in front of her, but on the living room in the back.

Because Kamiya is staying in the room.

Eight-foot Girl: "I didn't expect Miss Pranya to be proficient in gardening." By pruning properly, the distribution of nutrients is further regulated, and the growth of the tree is suppressed, and a beautiful tree shape can be cultivated, which is very powerful. ”

Prajna: "Only a little." ”

"It's too modest, it's not just like a little bit, it's clear that everyone is a desolate god, why do you have so many things?"

The eight-foot model seems to be full of curiosity about Prajna:

"Oh, I see, maybe it has something to do with the background of your birth? Did Miss Prajna be born from the story of a noble lady who was knowledgeable in ancient times, who was unfairly treated in her husband's family after marrying, and finally became a resentful spirit of Prajna'? ”

"I'm not married."

While saying this, Hannya subconsciously wanted to turn his head to look at Kamiyagawa in the living room, but as soon as he turned his face sideways, he held back again.

Naturally, she has never been married, and she is still a girl.

For public opinion, the background of the birth story is just a story, and like the Kanya family's Hannya, her character and ability at birth are indeed influenced by various "Hannya stories".

But she is not the hero of those stories, she exists independently.

To put it more bluntly, she should be born from the various negative emotions of ancient women.

Praruo has been in Inu Ming Pass since he was born, and he runs to tease Bai'er every day, until he was seriously injured by the evil dog god and was "picked up" by Kamiya in the mountains and forests.

This is basically all her "life experience" before she met Kamiyagawa.

"PO~ Sorry, please don't care. I know stories are just stories. It's about us, but it's not us. ”

The eight-foot woman is also a strange talk of public opinion, and she can clearly distinguish the difference between the story and herself.

"What about you? What story did it come from? Prajna stopped his movements and asked rhetorically.

The eight-foot woman thought about it seriously: "Hmm...... The evil god big sister who plundered the boy's virginity on a lonely island or something? ”

Prajna blinked, did not answer, and continued to trim the grass and tree stumps with gardening scissors.

"In the story that gave birth to you, did those ancient ladies have to do flower marriage since they were young? So you're proficient in flower arrangement, tea ceremony, calligraphy, and cooking. ”

Suddenly it was cold, but the eight-foot model was not discouraged and talked to Pranya again.

But before she could answer, Mary, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly stood up: "Flower marriage...... Practice? ”

"It's the bride's practice, Miss Mary." The eight-foot look is still the same smiling look.

Foreign people don't seem to understand this.

"Bride, do you want to be able to cut branches?"

As Mary, who was born from the background of the story of "Revenge Doll", she probably couldn't chat with Hannya and the eight-foot girl on the same channel.

I don't know what she was thinking, so after a short groan, she raised her feet and walked to the red maple tree in the courtyard, her hand holding the handle of the knife tightened, and the blade rubbed lightly on the ground.

"What you want to do doesn't count as pruning." On the side, Praruo continued his work, his tone unhurried and concise, "In addition, he likes this maple tree very much. ”

Mary:......

After a moment of silence, Mary looked up at Prajna expressionlessly, and chose to drag the knife away.

"Miss Mary actually listens to Miss Prajna."

The eight-foot woman laughed in amazement.

In my impression, this Miss Mary didn't have a soft hand in cutting off the head of Lord Kamiya in the inner world, but in reality, she didn't even cut down a red maple tree.

Interesting.

……

"Lord Eight, and the girls, I'm back!"

Luyeya appeared beside the eight-foot girl with her schoolbag, and she saw the situation here just now.

"It's been hard to study, Yukino."

The eight-foot woman responded enthusiastically to the fawn's greeting.

Praruo nodded at her very dignified and decent, and she seemed to be very comfortable with the title of "Shi Niang".

Finally, Mary glanced at the fawn in confusion, her face expressionless, and her head tilted slightly.

Maybe it's a response.

Eight-Foot Girl: "Is Yukino going to join the ladies in their afternoon casual meeting?" ”

"I'm not going to, I'm in."

The fawn bowed slightly to the three elders, and then trotted into the house.

When she left, she was still wondering in her heart: "It's so strange...... Recently, has the relationship between Mrs. Praruo and Mrs. Mary gotten better? ”

Putting down his school bag, Kanoya saw Kamiyagawa in the living room.

Just now in the courtyard, through the glass door, she noticed that the master seemed to be doing something strange.

in the living room.

Sazashiki sat beside Kamiyagawa, watching his old father's every move with bated breath.

There was also a dirty taste who was putting his paws on the coffee table, chattering about something, and Rihefang was kneeling on the coffee table.

Finally, there was Kamiya, who was sitting upright, his hands naturally resting on his knees.

Beside him, a huge illusory arm floated out of thin air.

The dark black arm is translucent, looking tyrannical but full of beauty.

And the size of the arms is very large, and the thickest part is almost as thick as the waist of Kanoya.

"Master, this ...... What is it? ”

Kanoya stepped forward, not looking scared at all, but this was the second stage when she had seen the ghost hand for the first time.

Before, because the control was not very good, Kamiyagawa had always summoned the hand of Ibaraki in the Inner World Flower Bell Trick School, and when the operation level came up, he dared to release it directly at home.

And now, Kamiya is training in the fine motor control of the ghost hands.

"My ghost hand, the state of its ghost caged hand you've seen before."

Kamiya responded.

"Kamiya-sama, I'll make you tea again!"

The little sun on the coffee table stood up, raised the teapot with both hands and poured a cup of tea, and then sat down on his knees again, looking at the head of the house with anticipation.

"Yikes!" Zashiki began to cheer up the old father.

Only the deer field house, who had just entered, looked dazed.

What are you doing here?

Then, she saw the huge ghost hand suspended next to her master suddenly move, and the ghost hand claw carefully pinched the small plain teacup, handed it to Kamiya's lips, and tilted it slightly.

The movements are smooth and all in one go.

OHHHHHH！

Kamiyagawa drank tea!

"Yikes!" Zashiki began to cheer.

"Kamiya-sama can really do it!" Rihefang is very popular.

Even the dirt tasted and chirped excitedly.

Kamiyagawa himself also looked unusually proud.

The living room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, as if Kamiya had done something great.

Shikanoya: ......

Huh——!

Master is so naïve.

Abandon.

Everyone is still so cooperative with him......

"It's amazing, it's amazing, Master."

The fawn matched the atmosphere, reading the opening, and at the same time did not forget to poke the floating ghost arm with his fingers.

The scales on the surface are hard, but they are somewhat elastic when pressed.

It feels surprisingly good.

"Stop, it's itchy."

Kamiya used his right hand to remove the little apprentice's hand, preventing her from moving further to Ibaraki's hands.

"Master, the way you look now, a bit like TDK, well, Broken Arm."

"What's that?"

"Huh? Haven't you seen it? It's a superhero, no, it seems to be a supervillain. ”

"And is this TDK awesome?"

Xiaolu grinned: "It didn't take long for him to die tragically in the movie." ”

Kamiyagawa: ......

I don't know if it was the slightly mocking tone of the fawn cub that made Kamiya's thoughts fluctuate, and the hideous knuckles of Ibaraki's hand were not controlled, and they shrank slightly.

The power of a small action is so great.

"Smack".

The small teacup in the palm of the ghost hand cracked, and the tea soup was scattered all over the ground.

"Ah......h

"Squeak!"

The grimace on standby on the coffee table moved quickly and began to clean up the tea and broken ceramics.

Rihefang on the table pursed his lips: "First, it's the third." Kamiya-sama, don't be discouraged, we're sure we can! Do you want me to pour you tea? ”

"It's hard to succeed...... Kamiya is angry, "Shikanoya! ”

"Huh? Blame...... Is it my fault? The fawn reacted quickly, jumped up from Kamiya's side, and escaped from the living room before being knocked on the head by the master, leaving only one sentence, "Master, I'm going to do my homework!" See you at dinner! ”

……

Throughout the Saturday day, Kamiya had a pretty leisurely time.

Drink tea with ghost hands and read books with ghost hands.

A total of four teacups were destroyed, plus three books.

But these are all necessary sacrifices......

Kamiya felt that after some daily refined operations, his compatibility with the ghost hand had risen a little bit.

Originally, he wanted to eat with his ghost hands at night, but he was stopped by Pranya with a cold face.

After eating dinner and resting for a while, Kamiyagawa went to the Sato-world.

As usual, we started today's exploration of the Santuchuan River.

He didn't use the god to teleport directly to the Santu River, but at the Flower Bell Trick School, he passed by the Ruyue train.

The Ruyue train network in the world is indeed convenient, and as a conductor, Kamiya can even build a platform in the Styx area.

A few days ago, every time he explored the shores of the strong Fukase until the time was about right, he would reset the position of the Ruyue platform, and then jumped into the River Styx to "fry fish", returning to reality with a full harvest of soul crystals.

When you come back next time, you can also appear at the platform of the train you set up last time.

In the big map, using the Ruyue train as a save point is considered to be played by Kamiya.

Boom - Boom –

The Moon Train broke through the void and appeared on solid ground a little further away from the banks of the River Styx.

The dazzling headlights were scattered by the dense mist and water droplets in the air, turning into a hazy yellow.

Kamiya got off the train platform and called out the little old man, and the master and servant continued to explore from yesterday's "archive" location.

After walking for about half an hour, the scout suddenly reacted.

Abba yelled, and raised his finger to the thick water in front of his head.

Kamiyagawa condensed his eyes and looked in the direction of the little old man's finger, there was still a turbulent strong Fukase Styx, but on the bank of the river, a silhouette could be faintly seen, leading straight to the depths of the Styx.

"A ...... Bridge? ”

Quicken the pace and walk forward, and the scene in the mist can be seen more realistically.

That's right, there's a bridge ahead.

A majestic bridge made of glittering gold and silver traverses the mist.

"The matter of crossing the river has finally made some progress."

Kamiyagawa is in high spirits.

In the legend, among the three ways to cross the river on the Santu River, there is one way to cross the bridge-

Those who have not done evil deeds in their lives can cross the river without their feet touching the water.

"I usually accumulate virtue and do good, and it is the right thing to cross the bridge."

Kamiya let the little old man climb up his shoulders and strode onto the bridge.

After getting on the bridge, he didn't forget to break the golden guardrail.

But unfortunately, the gold and silver on the bridge gave him a familiar feeling, similar to the gold, silver, pearls and jade seen on the treasure ship before.

"If it were broken, the entire bridge would have dissipated...... Tsk, alas, looks good. Since you don't want people to take it, don't make a bridge out of gold! Sighing rather regretfully, Kamiya began to move towards the bridge deck.

The journey across the bridge is somewhat boring.

Because of the heavy water vapor around you, no matter how you walk, the surrounding scenery doesn't seem to change.

In front is the bridge deck with no end in sight, and so is the back.

Beneath the bridge is the raging waters of the River Styx, where boulders roar and roll in the undercurrent, and countless boat ghosts roar and wail.

I walked forward for another half hour, probably in the middle of the River Styx.

The road ahead was gone.

This gold-silver bridge is broken, and it seems that it will come to an end here.

Kamiyagawa stood at the cross-section of the bridge and looked down at the raging Styx with a frown.

After that, he condensed his eyes and looked ahead, because of the thick mist, even if he used the [Autumn Slash] technique, he couldn't see the scene in the distance.

"Failed again? Can't walk the bridge? ”

After hesitating for a while, he thought of something and took out the [Six Coins] from the [Mirage Cloth Bag].

These six copper coins were not collected by the two boat ghosts who served as boatmen when they crossed the river by boat.

But Kamiya always felt that they could come in handy.

Copper coins are money, and the gold and silver that make up this bridge are also considered "money", maybe this is the place where you can really use the six coins?
