Santugawa.

The Stygian River is like a violent dragon, breaking through the mountains and breaking through the walls, rushing down with great momentum, and the resentful spirits who cannot get out of the turbulent and agitated undercurrent of the river are wailing endlessly.

Beside the turbulent section of the Styx River, there is a large plain called the Burtou River. The so-called Burtou River is actually another name for the Santu River.

This river plain is vast, gloomy and gloomy, desolate and dead.

In this area, there was originally a "burial head river plain ghost" belonging to the Santugawa forces.

According to the legend of the River Styx, the soul of a child enters here and can only be reincarnated after stacking stone towers in the Burial River and stacking them into a stone tower.

And this burial river imp will tear down the stone towers that the children are about to pile up.

Over time, the children's souls who have stagnated here and cannot enter the reincarnation on the other side will turn into the next batch of ghost ghosts.

However, because the Styx River had been invaded by the power of the Yellow Springs, the function of reincarnation had long been invalidated, and the remaining imps in the Heyuan area had also gone berserk and out of control, so Kamiya cleaned them all up during the opening period of the Styx region.

In the dark earth of the river, the bones are bare, the skeletons are scattered, and beyond that, there are only countless remnants of stone towers.

And today, the area has finally regained some popularity, or ghostly spirit.

Because Kamiyagawa, the leader of the suzerainty of the River Styx, has extradited a new batch of imps from the present world.

Jizo statues are arranged here, and the center of the dense stone statue cluster, as well as the torii gate of Ban Bar and the dilapidated shrine stand tall.

The bleak wind blew and shook the whitish metal bells on the torii gate, and the shrine swayed in the wind, and from the black, oppressed Jizo statues, there were bursts of whimpering weeping, which made people palpitate.

"Don't say it, it's quite appropriate for the devil's mother and mother to move their family to Futou Heyuan. The ambiance of this place matches the style of their residence perfectly. This warm new home has the smell of ghosts. ”

Kamiya stood on the Burial Head River, inspecting the newly opened territory with satisfaction.

Next to him stood Yasuji Banto.

The child is still attached to the mannequin, but in the form of a student wearing a Kitayama Junior High School uniform.

In addition to his stiff and rigid expression, he looks no different from a living person in the eyes of ordinary people.

As for the model he possessed, he was tainted with ghosts and resentment, and there was no problem in coming in the world.

"Home...... Is it? Bando repeated Kamiya's words.

"What, don't like it here?"

"It's fine."

For Bandong, it's almost the same as staying anywhere.

No, maybe a little more freedom here now?

In the original deep mountain shrine, the devil mother forbade him to leave and go to the living area.

But this Kamiya-sama promised that as long as he was obedient, he would take time to take him to the world for more time.

Bandong didn't doubt the adult's words, because he was taken by the other party to Kitayama Middle School and Hamanaka to say goodbye to him a few days ago.

Moreover, even the mother is very obedient to this adult.

"In the ordinary world, you can move freely. At that platform over there, a Kirutsuki train arrives every once in a while, and you can take the train to see other places. Paradises, inns, plains, and the sea, under the rule of Takamagahara, there are many friendly and communicative strange stories in each place. Especially in paradise, it's worth visiting. Kamiya patted Bandong on the shoulder, "There is still this life, and I will take you back too." ”

"Oh......"

"Of course, don't move around during this time, your mother needs you."

"I know."

"Good boy."

Arranging for the ghost to move is a big project.

But fortunately, the ghost mother was very cooperative with the relocation.

She asked Mizuko and the spirits to participate in the moving process, and all the imps carried their own Jizo statues, and at the foot of the mountain, they lined up to get on the Ruyue train.

Then the train will send it here, so it doesn't take much effort at all.

And according to the agreement between Kamiyagawa and the devil's mother-

Kamiya provides an isolated and safe area for the Oni Mother and her children, and keeps them safe.

In addition, he ran errands to find the escaped Mizuko Bandong.

In return, the Devil Mother had to hand over the divine power that belonged to the Devil Mother God in her.

Demons and gods say nothing about promises.

Kamiya then got what he wanted.

The divine power that belongs to the god of the devil's mother and soul is mostly precipitated from the body of the devil's mother.

Specifically, her originally high and bulging abdomen, in which a half-formed strange fetus could be seen squirming, and after delivering power, the abdomen of the devil and mother flattened, and the fetal divinity was drilled into the "ghost umbilical cord" prepared by Kamiyagawa in advance.

At present, the umbilical cord of the ghost god that contains the divinity has been sent to Sister Satoru of Takamagahara.

After that, it will be used as the core material of the shrine together with the taker box.

According to the efficiency of Sister Jue's work, plus the speed of ordinary material collection on the side of the paradise market controlled by the cat shopkeeper, it is estimated that the establishment of the shrine is the most recent thing.

And the ghost son and mother, who have lost most of their divinity, have become extremely weak themselves.

She had left a little divinity for herself.

Kamiya knew about this matter in advance and agreed to it.

After all, the Devil Mother herself was born from that touch of divinity, and if all the divinity disappeared, she would either completely dissipate or completely degenerate into a runaway youkai.

This little bit of divinity left behind was for her to maintain her form.

Anyway, Sister Jue's side of the god valley has also communicated, and the god craftsman said that as long as the "ghost god umbilical cord" is integrated into the power of the ghost mother god. In that umbilical cord, there is divine blood and divinity, nourishing each other, and such a thing is already a perfect material for building a shrine when it comes to the hands of a skilled craftsman.

As for the weak devil mother and son, she has been recuperating in her shrine recently.

Although the shrine looks dilapidated, it is a serious shrine of the mother of the devil, and the power of the belief in the mother god of the devil in the present world can be transmitted to the shrine.

And Kamiya will also come to Bury Kawahara from time to time to light a requiem candle for her.

Therefore, it is only a matter of time before the devil mother recovers her body, but when she recovers, the strength level of the original Aragami will probably decline seriously.

Whether or not you can be re-promoted depends on your future development.

However, for the strength of the devil's mother and mother, the shift originated from Kamiya, and Kamiya said that he would be responsible for the changes in the belly of the devil's mother.

After all, now that the ghost mother has been adopted by him, she is a member of his forces, and Kamiya is kind-hearted, and she will still take care of this group of widows as much as possible.

For example, right now—

Because the ghost mother is sleeping in the shrine, some of her mizuko are ready to move.

It's true that not all Mizuko have evil intentions, such as Bandong, who is a good boy.

The resentment and obsession entangled in Bandong's body are not malicious.

The reason why he is difficult to be softened is more because of his strong unwillingness to die early, wanting to live, wanting to feel the time he has never experienced in the world, and wanting to experience those ignorant and precious feelings in his youth.

Probably because of this, he escaped from the side of the devil's mother, possessed himself to the mannequin, and disguised himself as a student of Beishan Middle School.

During his escape, until he was found by Kamiyagawa, he didn't do anything bad at all.

But not all Mizuko will be like Banto.

For those bad children whose minds are completely chaotic and may even hurt the current devil in turn, Kamiyagawa took the initiative to help her educate.

Too much energy, huh?

Give me all the rock-stacking towers on the edge of the river!

And then there's Bandong.

The fact that this child was able to slip away from the hands of the devil and the mother of the devil speaks to the fact that he is the strongest of the group of mizuko.

Kamiyagawa directly appointed him as the "Captain of the Mizuko Five Bars".

During the time when the devil's mother was asleep, Bandong took those good children with wandering spirits to manage his Mizuko brothers and sisters.

Of course, Bandong alone will definitely not be able to manage such a large number of mizuko.

But there is no shortage of manpower on Kamiya's side.

Then let the small canned crab Ji lead the team to patrol the area every day and bury the head of the river.

And the Genji brothers in the River Styx.

Gen Yoshijing didn't want to see his brother very much, and Gen Yoritomo didn't have the face to see his brother.

It's easy to do, so don't see it.

Anyway, the source Yoritomo has always stayed on the other side, and the source Yoshitsune came to the burial head river on the other side of the river, and it was okay to see the face across the Styx, and the source Yoshitsune was idle, so he stayed at the side of the shrine to take care of the water for a while.

Finally, it is the second-generation Enma who is being bred in the flower seed on the other side, and the Sanada Yukimura Wild Skeleton is one.

It feels like this new Enma Lord is about to be born.

When the second generation is formed, they can completely take over the affairs of the Styx, and these mizunes are the "initial team" arranged by Kamiya to the other party, and they can become the labor force to rebuild the order of the Styx in the future.

In this way, it is beneficial to the devil son, the Genji brothers, and even the second-generation Yama who has not yet been fully formed.

Win-win!

……

After finishing his inspection of the burial head of Kawara, Kamiya lit a requiem candle in front of the shrine of the Oni Son and Mother.

Then he said goodbye to Bandong and the source Yoshitsune who stayed here.

He went straight to the land of the sea.

Today is the day of the regular meeting of the Changshi High Heaven Hara forces, and as the leader, Kamiya naturally wants to attend the meeting to listen to the work reports of his subordinates.

Ichinchi Island.

What was once a merfolk stronghold has now changed dramatically.

Without the encroachment of the red tide, this original barren land has finally regained its vitality.

Because the platform of Haiguo Ruyue Station is set up here, strange stories from other regions under the rule of Takamagahara will be the first to arrive here when they come to Haiguo, so this large island has convenient transportation advantages, and it is natural that it has become a key area for the construction of Haiguo.

Isohime referred to the construction drawings given by Satoru's sister, commanded the manpower, and established a strange monster town on the island of Ichiku.

Of course, it is still very small and continues to expand.

The town is divided into working areas and living areas.

A wharf has been built in the work area to access the resources of the maritime state.

It is said that it is a dock, but it is actually a fixed area for the sea tribe to go to the sea and store the materials they bring back.

After that, the work area will also set up a corresponding material processing place according to Satoru's opinion.

As for the living area, of course, it is a place for the living and living weirdos in the sea country, although the weirdos themselves don't need too long to rest, but it also depends on the specific situation. Monsters like youkai are physiologically closer to humans, and require a longer rest time than ghosts and ghosts.

Moreover, the level of sanity of the youkai is relatively high, so it is more suitable for participating in more complex work.

It is necessary to meet their needs.

In any case, it is beneficial to plan a reasonable layout of the town.

The mermaid princess has also been studying hard recently, according to human management experience, excellent town planning is conducive to improving the sense of belonging and happiness of the strange people under her rule!

In the center of the living quarters, there is a grand building the size of a large hall.

This place is currently the meeting center of the Takamagahara-based forces.

In the middle of the main hall, there is a large wooden long table with a number of seats around it.

When Kamiya arrived, he naturally sat down on the main seat on the high seat and summoned all the Shikigami.

The whale sat down next to the main seat.

This is the sea country, and the little whale is the lord and master of the country here after all.

And now in the upper echelons of Takamagahara, Crab Ji and Isohime are actually his nominal subordinates.

Even if the little whale is actually just the mascot of Haiguo, he doesn't care about anything at all, he doesn't have any real power, and he can't even understand the content of the meeting, but at least he has to be ranked up to give Haiguo a respect.

Below the long table, on the left and right sat Prajna and Mary.

One of them, Pranya, will attend the meeting seriously, as a virtuous helper, she is in charge of Kamiya's housework, and some things at home need to be in contact with the management of the everlasting Isohime.

For example, the family talks about the cost of requiem candles and so on.

In addition, after the family has a big business, Pranya will also help Kamiya share a certain amount of government affairs.

As for Mary, she doesn't care about the government affairs of the meeting at all, and usually sits in this position, and only looks at Kamiya in a daze.

In Shikami, the little tapir is also the type that doesn't care about ordinary affairs at all, it doesn't even serve the table, and basically curls up at the feet of Kamiya to nap.

Mary, under Prajna, are Inugami and Utengu.

The dog doesn't need a chair, squatting at the table, and usually doesn't care much about the content of the meeting, focusing on helping the owner support the scene.

Tengu would have held a meeting in earnest, after all, he represented the Ainu forces.

After a while, other high-ranking officials under Kamiya's forces arrived in the main hall one after another.

It's Rabbit Maru from the park, and the other supervisor of the park, the cat shopkeeper, is busy searching for the basic materials for the shrine that Pranya needs these days, so he can't spare time.

The royal officials of the inn were represented by the Imperial Household and the Inayu samurai, and they also brought drones to talk about it.

As a tough battle, there is a possibility of violent death at any time, and the existence of memory will be formatted, and there is a risk that the royal front will forget the content of daily work.

Fortunately, there are fewer things to deal with at the hotel.

If there is really something important that needs to be recorded, there are also drones that can leave impression data for backup. (End of chapter)
