The reception room of the Kamiya family.

The décor of this room is simple.

White walls, wooden floors, tatami mats.

A wood-colored coffee table, a few futons for people to sit cross-legged, and a little indoor greenery for decoration. The furniture is contrasted with the wooden floor, and the furniture is not deliberately dyed with colorful paints, which maintains the naturalness and purity of the wood-colored furniture itself.

The room is a sliding wooden lattice door, and the middle of the wooden lattice door is replaced by translucent camphor paper instead of glass, which is thin and light, and glows with an elegant hazy beauty under the background of the light.

The father and daughter of Kanoya and Kamiyagawa are sitting opposite each other at the moment.

Wearing a purple and white undergarment, Pranya walked in with a tea tray in his hand, put three cups of hot tea on the coffee table, and then bowed slightly to tonight's guests, and then walked out dignifiedly.

Very nice to be the hostess of the house.

And since there is a mistress in this house, there is no need for Mr. Kanoya to worry about boarding his daughter here.

In addition, Mr. Kanoya is in contact with the eight-foot woman, so there is no need for Kamiya to hide the existence of these strange things from him.

It's just over nine o'clock in the evening.

Father Fawn was supposed to arrive at Kamiya's house earlier, but he didn't seem to be willing to come over empty-handed, so he went to prepare some thank-you gifts for his visit, so it took some time on the way.

The fawn, which had been resting when he first arrived, had not yet woken up.

Mr. Kanoya didn't wake up his daughter, but just talked to Kamiyagawa in the reception room.

He is a considerate father.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Xiaolu got up from the bed in a daze and went to the kitchen to drink water, and was told in the restaurant that her father was now at home by Hiwabo and Zashiki, who were drinking hot milk at night.

So the fawn simply washed his face, and then pulled his slippers and came over to meet his father and Kamiya.

And as soon as he saw his daughter, Mr. Kanoya showed the side of a strict father again-

"My unsuccessful daughter has caused you trouble, Mr. Kamiya!"

"Wait a minute, Daddy! Actually, it doesn't have to be so ...... Oops! ”

The fawn sat on her knees, almost with her father pressing her head and saluting Kamiya.

"Huh...... Hehe, you don't have to be so serious. ”

Kamiya smiled dryly and filled in the apprentice's unfinished words, feeling a little unable to cope with this kind of solemn and rushing thanks.

"No, no. Mr. Kamiya, you can't repay your kindness to my family just by thanking you - Yukino, listen to your master well in Tokyo and look like an apprentice, you know? ”

"I know, Dad, don't press my head, it's a little painful."

Daddy Fawn is a burly middle-aged man with a pair of eyes shining with a simple light. He is the captain of a sea fishing boat on Oguri Island, and his long-term work at sea has made his skin tanned, and he is usually energetic, but these days he is a little sluggish because he is worried about his daughter.

Mr. Kanoya is not old-fashioned, and there is no pressure to communicate with him.

Kamiya had been talking to him alone for half an hour just now, and he felt like a very kind uncle with a good sense of humor.

The father and daughter of Shikanoya had another conversation over tea, during which they mainly listened to Xiaolu talk about her experience in Matsuzawa.

After that, Mr. Kanoya asked about the eight-foot girl again.

The eight-foot style was originally the Shijin of Grandma Xiaolu, and the relationship with Grandma Xiaolu is probably similar to that of mother and daughter.

Later, when it came to the fawn mother's generation, they were like the fawn mother's sisters; In the end, when it comes to the fawn itself, it is in the identity of the elder, that is, the aunt of the fawn.

For Mr. Kanoya, the eight-foot figure is the sister of his deceased wife and the aunt of his daughter, and naturally half of the family.

Kamiyagawa said honestly: "She is injured at eight feet and is still resting, but it will be fine." ”

Mr. Kanoya said, "I have to thank the eight-foot master for being able to do it again, and Yukino, and you too." ”

"I know."

The fawn said this, and at the same time added in his heart-

I'll draw a book for the eight-foot adult.

Mr. Kanoya did not spend the night at Kamiya's house, confirmed that his daughter was fine, and said things like "Yukino must honor Master well" and "Mr. Kamiya, my ignorant daughter has entrusted it to you, and I really caused you trouble".

Then he left a thank you gift, and left a lot of hometown specialties for his daughter, and then planned to leave in a hurry.

He said that he was going back to Oguri Island to continue his work.

Kamiyagawa asked the hearse group and the fawn to send Mr. Kanoya to the airport.

Before going out, Xiaolu and her father sorted out those island specialties together, such as beautiful ball sea urchin, salted cuttlefish, etc., which Xiaolu usually likes to eat.

Like many parents in the world, Mr. Kanoya came all the way to meet his daughter who was studying abroad, and he did not forget to pack up some of his daughter's favorite hometown products to bring, so as to leave a little taste of his hometown for his daughter in a foreign land.

Outside the airport.

The father and daughter of the Shikanoya family said goodbye.

"Yukino, Dad is leaving."

"Oh...... Father. ”

"Huh?"

"I was a little worried. I thought that Dad, you might not agree with me staying in Tokyo, saying that Tokyo is too dangerous, and asking me to go back to Oguri Island with you. ”

"How could it be...... Yukino, Dad doesn't have any skills, and he can only fish on the island all his life, and he doesn't take good care of your mother. But you ......," Mr. Kanoya paused, "you have to listen to your master, you know?" Mr. Kamiya, he looks like a nice young man. ”

Mr. Kanoya will entrust his daughter to Kamiya, and the most fundamental reason is-

The problem of the spirit fetus cannot be solved by ordinary people, and only a soul exterminator like Kamiyagawa, who is recognized and appreciated by the eight-foot woman, can deal with it.

"Master, he's fine."

Fawn nodded.

Another passenger plane took off from the airport and soared into the sky, turning into a little colorful light in the night sky.

Although she was still a little depressed now, in order not to worry her father, Xiaolu tried to show a smile, and the sultry evening breeze of a midsummer night blew the broken hair in her ears:

"And, Dad. Master told me that I would live a hundred years. ”

……

Three days later, in the afternoon, Kamiyagawa went to the countermeasure room building.

What happened in Matsuzawa had to be discussed and exchanged with Uncle Yusei, especially the information he got from the eight hundred bhikshunis.

As far as is known, the eight hundred bhikshunis are indeed special members of the Demon Hour, the Unitary Hour.

In addition, for this organization at the time of the demon, there is finally some useful information to understand.

According to the 800 bhikshunis, this organization seems to be related to Onmyoji Ashiya Michiman during the Heian period.

This was a bit beyond Kamiya's expectations.

Because according to the information he knew before, Ashiya Michiman seems to be the last human who tried to become the co-master of ghosts and gods, that is, the predecessor of Kamiya.

Also, it seems that Ashiya Michiman's ascension to the throne of God has failed.

"I fought against the organization in the real world, and there was a connection between the time when I was specially targeted by "Strange Tales" and the previous reserve of the ghost and god co-master, why is this happening? Could it be that this organization was founded by Michiman Ashiya? ”

Kamiyagawa can't figure this out for the time being.

The countermeasure room held another meeting, and in addition to Kamiya and Yucheng, there were also the Juqiong Shrine represented by Onizuka, as well as some other large spirit-destroying forces.

At the meeting, it was mainly Kamiya who reported on Matsuzawa's situation.

He didn't hide too much, except for the things related to the ghost and god co-master, he basically stated it truthfully.

He also highlighted the connection between the eight hundred bhikshunis, Ashiya Michiman, and the time of the demons.

Since his status in the official organization has risen, Kamiyagawa has a lot less to worry about speaking and doing things here.

The information is shared, and then it's time to see if the countermeasures room can use their information base to see if they can provide more information related to Ashiya Michimitsu.

The people at the meeting also expressed some opinions-

"Onmyoji from a thousand years ago? There must be very little information about this in the information available in the countermeasures room, right? ”

"Will there be any materials from the previous Yinyangliao period?"

"I don't know, I'll contact to check."

"In the shrines around the world, there should be some undisclosed ancient books, right? Do you want to entrust a search as well? ”

"Or simply set up a special investigation team, contact the various shrines, and go to see the original documents on the spot."

“……”

Uncle Cheng is still very reliable, and after discussing with everyone attending the meeting for a while, he quickly worked out a plan to find information related to Ashiya Michiman.

After that, it was useless for Kamiya to be in a hurry, so he could only choose to wait.

He had looked through books on the Internet last night to find information about Ashiya Michiman, but there was too little information in this public to be useful, and it was not related to the time of the demon at all.

An official department like the countermeasures office must have more comprehensive information than he could find.

When the meeting finally ended, Uncle Yusei beckoned Kamiya to his office.

Pushing the door in, before he could sit down, he spoke: "Boy, do you want to blame the relics?" ”

"What kind of relics?"

"It's the spoils of this crusade against the earthquake catfish, a stone."

Before killing the earthquake catfish, Kamiya was in a hurry to go to Matsuzawa to save his apprentice, and after that, what loot was left on the scene was really abnormal, and he didn't care much.

However, at that time, the [Candle Monk's Blood Pump] operated automatically, but it took away a B-level strange talk.

That thing was not mentioned, and it should have been given to Kamiyagawa by default.

As for the "key stone" mentioned in the formation -

There are many rumors in the market that the stone is a spirit stone that is buried in the ground most of the time to calm the earthquake.

Legend has it that Kashima Myojin nailed the head and tail of the big catfish with a nail in order to suppress the earthquake catfish and prevent this kind of big demon earthquake from causing trouble, and the stone is the nail.

Yuuki Shinkenyu lit a cigarette yoyo: "I've seen this trophy, the relics of the mountain rock and the water genus, and I feel that it will be similar to the whales under your hands, catfish and whales are all fish." ”

"Whales are not fish."

"Gee, that's all water creatures, that's what it means, anyway."

"That stone, as long as I open my mouth, will you give it to me?"

"How is it possible, they have all received the organization." Knot flicked the cigarette ash, "But I am the commander of this operation, and I can give it to you by going through a process." If you want to, wait for the remuneration to settle later, don't give you contribution points, and give you the key stone directly, so there should be no problem, after all, the main force of your action is the killer of the earthquake catfish. However, you should take a look at the stone first, and if you don't think it's appropriate, you can just take the contribution points. ”

It's okay, the choice is in Kamiya.

In this battle against the earthquake catfish, Kamiyagawa is indeed the main force, but the intelligence and combat support are all done by the countermeasure room, and thanks to the activity of Ozaki and Onizuka, this aspect is very good.

Being able to kill that catfish is the result of everyone's hard work.

The loot has been put on the table, and it is not good to keep it alone at this time.

And, in all fairness, it's not too much of a loss to exchange the contribution points for loot rewards this time.

If Kamiyagawa independently crusaded against the earthquake catfish, after killing that Aragami, the stone would definitely be his, but there would be no other gains. And when you cooperate with the countermeasure room, in addition to getting a stone, you will also have a cash reward after that.

Think about it this way, it seems that it is still earned?

"Okay, then I'll go and see the stone."

"Well, if you want to tell me, go through the formalities, and it will be handed over to you in a few days."

Subsequently, Kamiya went to see the "key stones" left by the earthquake catfish, and felt that it was indeed compatible with the whale that was also a water genus.

In addition, although the "key stone" is said to be a spirit stone for suppressing earthquakes, because it was produced from an earthquake catfish, it seems that it has the ability to summon earthquakes and tides after being identified by the relevant personnel in the countermeasures room.

In the warehouse of the countermeasure room, this kind of Aragami-level remnants are still relatively rare.

Other soul slayers can also be useful with this item, such as crafting it into a tool that calls for earthquakes or tides.

"Calf has a C grade, and it won't be too far away from being promoted to B grade. There is a piece of Aragami relic to absorb, which is also very beneficial to his development. ”

After weighing it for a while, he felt that the deal was not a loss, so Kamiyagawa turned back to the office and said hello to Uncle Yucheng.

In a few days, this "stone" will be his.

……

Returning home from the countermeasure room, Kamiya first went to the study on the second floor.

Because Satoru is not there, this room is a little deserted.

Now at this point in time, it is the live broadcast time of "Virtual Anchor Mary-chan".

The computer in the study is on, and the holster man "Mary-chan" is playing games normally.

You can see the backstage screen of the live broadcast, and you can also see the barrage-

[Single withdrawal of gold, special to repay!] ]

[Mary-chan has not scolded anyone in two consecutive live broadcasts, so she is not comfortable, and she seems to have ants crawling on her body.] Please, Mari-chan, scold me! ]

[Mary-chan hasn't been very energetic lately, is it that the real work is too hard?] Rest well. ]

[In reality, there is no way to do it when you are busy at work.] Alas, I feel like Marie-chan can be a full-time streamer. ]

[……]

Since being promoted to E-rank, Satoru has realized a new ability called [Electro Trouble]. The effect is to leave a wisp of consciousness on any electronic product, and then you can use this awareness to freely control the device.

After mastering this ability, Satoru tried to develop a "strange talk intelligent live broadcast" to broadcast on behalf of him.

At that time, Kamiya thought that this little ghost was just lazy.

But now that she thinks about it, she may have been preparing for the use of the "Future Vision" to sleep at that time.

And this preparation is really coming in handy now.

In addition, the day after Satoru fell asleep, the account of "Miss Mary" on the platform automatically posted a message -

[Moses Moses ~ This is different from the traditional urban legend, Miss Mary, the goddess of joy and good fortune in the new era, and other mortals are going to pay an electronic visit to Mary here! ]

[As for Mary, because of a little personal work reason, the live broadcast will not be so frequent in the near future.] But I still meet with my ignorant believers on a regular basis, and every Dawn Day and Earth Day will be broadcast live as usual. It will probably be two months later, in August, that is, the frequency of daily broadcasting will be resumed. ]

[In my absence, don't forget to sing my praises to Lord Mary, and I will be merciful to bless you~]

To put it simply, the frequency of live broadcasts has been adjusted from six times a week to twice a week.

Although Satoru did use [electronic trouble] to make a substitute broadcaster, there is still a little gap between her and herself, and the live broadcast of that wisp of consciousness is much more dull, and there is no show effect of Xiao Wu himself.

So there's no way to reduce the frequency of live broadcasts, in the two months that Wu is away, "Strange Talk on behalf of the broadcaster" will probably broadcast more than a dozen times, which can only be said to keep the number of fans as much as possible and not drop too much.

In addition, the text posted on the "Miss Mary" account feed was pulled from a local document on the computer.

Kamiya had seen the date of the founding of the document, the day after Satoru was last drunk and was taught a lesson, the day after she regained her ability to see the future.

So she really thought about how to help her sister and brother-in-law continue to run the Xishe faith if she fell asleep.

"That guy, as long as she doesn't have a bad mouth, maybe she can be cute if she is more frank, but she doesn't. And they like to provoke me or Prajna, and then they will be bullied, and if they are bullied, they have no ability to resist......"

It's all about finding guilt for yourself.

Kamiya glanced at the old-fashioned phone in the corner of the wall with the paint peeled off and sighed helplessly.
