Summer evenings always seem to have a charming touch of color.

A little deep but romantic clouds under the reflection of the purple-red sunset, like a fire faint and bright, a magnificent.

A study on the second floor built by a family in Arakawa.

Because Satoru is still asleep, this place is a little empty.

With a laptop and a glass of ice on the table, and even a plate of sliced and steaming watermelon, Kamiyagawa is studying.

He was looking at the theoretical part of Hehuan's spiritual art, and he had been studying on his own for a while, and he felt that he had already mastered the content related to the theory.

While concentrating on his own study, Kamiyagawa suddenly felt a strong strange atmosphere in the room.

Looking back, in the shadow of the corner of the study, a strong and mighty beast figure slowly stood up.

"Wang."

It's the dog god.

When shown at home, dogs generally move in the size of a large dog.

That is, it will take care of its strength, after all, if it reveals its true body the size of a mud truck, then it can casually build this household and break it up.

And after Matsuzawa fought the first battle, the dog was also injured.

However, its self-healing ability is really strong, relying only on the white fat powder medicine and the rest in the statue of Shikik, it is now back to normal.

Resurrection!

Now several Aragami and the eight-foot girl of Kamiya have not yet healed, and the little tapir and Mary are still digesting a lot of emotions from leeches.

"Dog?" Kamiya raised his hand to close the notebook, "You look like you're recovering well." ”

"Whew-"

The dog god didn't care that his master was concentrating on what he was looking at just now, but just flicked his tail and approached, and gently arched his master's thigh with his head wearing a hard skull.

Then he sat down again, tilted his head, and tickled his neck with his hind legs.

In non-combat situations, although the dog is still mighty, its every move looks like that of a domestic dog.

After greeting his master, Inugami left the study.

It was going to go downstairs to find the tengu, Oishi, and the little old man who had a good relationship with it.

I've been in the statue for so long, and I really miss my companions.

Pacing leisurely down the stairs and walking to the aisle on the first floor, the dog god suddenly sensed.

It seemed that a slightly unfamiliar gaze was coming straight from behind him.

Inugami turned back.

But I only saw a pair of erect, soft white animal ears exposed at the corner of the aisle.

The alert ears twitched twice and shrank back into the corner.

Inugami: ?

Although he was a little confused, the dog didn't particularly care, and went through the glass door of the living room to the courtyard by himself.

It plans to go to the garage first to find Toshima Oishi.

"Huh?"

But as soon as he walked into the courtyard, the feeling of gaze came from behind him again.

Inugami stopped, his broad shoulders staggering, and turned his head again.

This time at the end of the courtyard passage, in the corner leading to the gate. There, the wolf not only showed its ears, but also its slightly pointed but elegantly curved jaw, as well as its shining red wolf eyes, all poked out sneakily.

But noticing the inugami's gaze, the wolf who was originally snooping hid behind the wall again.

Inugami: ?

Inugami's face showed a vivid expression of confusion.

Why did the white wolf who came back from Matsuzawa with Miss Shikanoya follow me like this?

So what the hell is the white wolf doing?

As a special hobby for wolves?

No, be alert!

The white wolf wouldn't be trying to sneak up on me like this, would he?

That...... It's too self-conscious.

"Whew......"

The dog continued to think.

Then again, have I ever offended it?

No matter how you think about it, you can't think about it, and you obviously saved it.

The dog doesn't understand.

Of course, if the wolf wants to have an honest battle with the dog god, the dog god is happy to accompany him.

But engaging in small actions or something, it is inevitably a little too unatmospheric.

And when the dog hesitantly walked into the garage door, the wolf hiding behind the wall poked his head out again.

"Uh-woo."

The petite white wolf exhaled lightly from its mouth and nose, hanging down behind it, its fluffy tail wagging and its limbs inexplicably weak.

Finally, finally seeing it again!

Inugami-sama, you're so handsome!

……

This summer of July flies by quickly.

During this time, Kamiya's real life mainly focused on his own learning and practice, as well as the cultivation of young apprentices.

The fawn has now begun to formally learn how to use firearms, as well as simple spiritual arts.

It is also worth mentioning that a few days ago, Kamiyagawa also officially handed over the little monster red deer to his apprentice.

The red deer has a very peculiar ability to talk about monsters.

When he first joined Kamiya's side, he even played a role in the Great War, mainly using its control ability to assist the tapir in battle.

However, as the belief acquired by the tapir became more and more stable and stronger, it gradually did not need that little bit of [stupidity] control effect to cooperate.

To put it simply, the red deer retreated from the environment.

So, Kamiyagawa simply let it be laid off and re-employed, and transferred to Xiaolu's men.

I guess it's rented out to my apprentices.

At present, the red deer has been raised quite well, and it can be trusted, and they are both masters and apprentices, who work part-time, and there will be better development prospects in the "branch" of Xiaolu.

According to the assumption, Kanoya will contract to send a wolf to be a Shikigami after learning a simple spirit master.

Regarding this matter, Kamiyagawa once communicated with the wolf.

The white wolf didn't have any resistance to being a fawn-like god, and the whole conversation was to stare at the dog god sitting on the side, occasionally nodding like this.

Although in that conversation, Inugami was deliberately called out by Kamiyagawa to sit on the side.

But everyone present could see that he did not exert coercion to send the wolf the whole time.

Recruitment conversations are equal, and she-wolf cubs are voluntary.

And since the wolf has been determined to be the Shishen reserve of the fawn, the future career plan of the little apprentice for the Onmyoji path has also taken shape-

Because of the mastery of the two spells of incense and Buddhism, the fawn itself is a good battlefield support, and when Glock is thoroughly mastered, the skills of combining firearms with Buddhism can be developed, and some output can be supplemented.

The wolf delivery is a flexible output unit.

The youth version of Mary.

Add red deer to this configuration——

An excellent, still growing control hand.

The youth version of the tapir.

At this point, the assistance, output, and control are complete, and there is also a new little old man clone that continues to follow, even if the eight-foot girl is not around, the fawn can deal with many unexpected situations.

The future is promising!

In addition, Shikanoya's growth plan also includes the use of the [Sacred Virtue Imperial Incense Burner] technique, originally wanted to find a Meteor Hammer weapon expert in the strategy room to be her teacher, but she has never found a suitable candidate.

This is not surprising, after all, I have been looking for a Xiangdao teacher for Xiaolu for a long time.

And this problem has been unexpectedly solved by the Seven Emperors in the past few days, as well as the strange talk drone.

Aki in the Imperial Palace, who himself uses a strange soft weapon called a lock scythe.

The so-called lock sickle was a weapon that was used at the end of the Muromachi shogunate.

It can be seen as a combination of a meteor hammer and a scythe, with the front end almost the same as the meteor hammer, but the end is linked to a scythe, so that it can hit enemies from a distance, and it can also be melee with the hand scythe at the end.

Aki was originally a ninja of the old times, so he mastered the use of this non-mainstream weapon.

It seems that she is also the heir of the Great Grass Flow Lock Scythe.

It's just that after becoming a monster in the hotel, she didn't wear a scythe with her.

Kamiya occasionally learned about this when he visited the Imperial Front at an inn and learned the double sword technique from the Inayu samurai, but he didn't think much of it at the time.

After all, the royal fronts can't come to reality normally, at most, they can use the [Cloud Outer Mirror] to come out for ten minutes, and the deer can't go to the inner world without being hidden.

And just two days ago, the strange talk drone that has been stocked in the live fish hotel was promoted again.

From F to E grades.

It was originally a low-rated promotion, and all the candles that Kamiyagawa gave to the Imperial Ones were thrown into the Strange Talk Drone, so this upgrade speed is not very exaggerated.

The strange talk drone, who has reached the E-class rating, finally has some senses, and he has been able to take some daily images of the royal front under their command in the palace.

The recorded audio and video can be projected in 3D form through the drone at any time, and it seems that there are no problems such as memory, and you can shoot as much as you want.

As a result, the royal fronts, who died and lived in tough battles and were full of loyalty, finally found a way to obtain memories of the past.

For them, sitting in a hotel and watching "documentaries" was also a pastime after returning from the war.

But that's not the best.

After being promoted to the E rank, the Strange Talk Drone mastered a special skill, which Kamiya named [Phantom Drone Swarm] after learning about it.

When this skill is activated, the Strange Talk Drone can project a new drone in the same place in the form of a projection.

This new drone is an illusion and only freezes in the same place where the ability is activated, but like the main body, it has the basic functions of shooting and projection.

That's pretty strong.

Kamiya experimented several times and developed a special way to use this ability, and the specific process is-

Let the strange talk drone leave a "phantom drone" in the live fish hotel and maintain the illusion existence, and then return to the real home with the drone's body, and start shooting and projection simultaneously on both sides.

In this way, a weird version of 3D panoramic video calls is realized!

These new-age weirdos linked to modern electronic devices, the extended use of capabilities are really interesting.

In this regard, Satoru and Mary are not far behind.

Talking about the new capabilities of drones, it can be regarded as officially breaking the barrier of communication between the world on the outside and inside.

Misaki became the fourth teacher of the fawn.

No money to spend and no debt to anyone.

Everyone is a family, and it is natural to help each other.

Misaki will teach the Kanoya Okusa Lock Scythe in the form of distance teaching, and mastering the lock scythe is equivalent to mastering the combat method of the [Shotoku Imperial Incense Burner].

Kamiya has asked Sister Satoru to create a new teaching scythe for Aki.

Just last night, in the basement of the house, the bewildered fawn took the first strange online class in his life under the curious onlookers of his family.

Not to mention, the real-time 3D projection on both sides makes the online class very good.

It's just that after a class, the deer and the strange talk drone that acts as a tool man are tired enough.

……

And the affairs of the world.

On Kamui's side, the Takamagahara-based belief represented by Kamiya is still spreading in an orderly manner; There is no movement on the other side of the flower planted by the Santu River for the time being.

No new maps have been released yet.

So during this time, Kamiya was mainly cultivating gods.

At this stage, both the calf and the Utengu in the upper reaches of the C-rank have a tendency to break through to the level of Aragami.

Then there are the tapirs and Mary.

In mid-July, the tapir finally emerged from the statue and resumed its free movement.

After all, it is the master of horror and fear, and the large amount of negative emotions absorbed by the leech has been well digested by it, and because of the blessing of disguise, the little tapir's control of panic has risen to a higher level.

Mary finally woke up at the end of July.

A large amount of "angry" emotions taken from Matsuzawa were finally absorbed and suppressed by her, but this part of the emotions did not have a relationship with her, so it took a lot of energy to control them.

To some extent, Mary's combat effectiveness was weakened.

But the solution is not impossible, Kamiya has discussed it with Sister Jue before, and after Mary absorbs the huge "anger", she will integrate her joy into the "anger core" upgrade.

Once the shrine had annexed the authority of Fury, Mary would no longer need to spend extra energy to control the superfluous emotional burden.

And then there's the collection of core materials-

Controlled by a clone of the little old man, the work of collecting "Worry Core" and "Sorrow Core" in the hospital has been successfully completed, and Kamiya has obtained two more Love Cores, and has started to collect "Anger Core" non-stop.

At the beginning, Kamiyagawa put the little old man's body and [Seven Emotions Magata] into an "emotional venting room" in the city.

There are dummies in the venting room, TVs, cabinets, wine bottles, and other everyday items. After the customer has paid, he can smash everything inside to vent his emotions.

But it turned out that the collection of the "Nucleus" did not go smoothly there.

According to the hidden investigation of the little old man's body, it seems that the vast majority of people who go to that "venting room" are not really venting their anger.

Even, there is such an emotion as "joy" in that place, because many of the guests are young couples who go on a date in the "venting house".

There is no very real, pure anger in the venting room, so the collection work is naturally not very optimistic.

There was no way, Kamiyagawa could only change his mind.

Let the little old man's doppelganger play the shakuhachi and enter the state of nothingness, and then take the [Seven Emotions - Magatama] and begin to flow to various places to collect "anger".

Selected venues include, but are not limited to, –

Crowded trains commuting during the morning and evening rush hours on weekdays, and some small clubs with a depressing working atmosphere......

At this moment, the collection of "anger" immediately became a lot smoother.

Whether it is in a crowded transportation or a depressing workplace, the resentment and anger of migrant workers are really pure.

It can only be said that things like early eight, troublesome colleague relationships, and workplace conflicts will indeed make people want to destroy the world.

However, because it is a flow that collects "anger", Kamiyagawa will often go out with the little old man, and it takes a lot of time.

But in order for Mary to quickly get rid of the emotional influences that did not belong to her, the investment was worth it.

It is estimated that it will not be long before the "anger core" that Mary needs can be formed.
