Earthly.

Tokyo, Arakawa-ku, home to Kamiyagawa.

"Whew-"

Kamiya sat up from the queen bed in the master bedroom.

It has been a week since he entered the interior of the Great River, and it has been generally smooth.

Because of the two records of having seven consecutive victories in the city, and finally killing the mountain man, and clearing the group of ghosts and undead who recovered from the palace alone, the name of "Ghost General Inujiro" is considered to have started in the big river mountain city.

If you find a sane monster in the city, you can roughly know the limelight of this alien dog demon.

There is still some truth in the words of the Golden Bear Boy, after all, Dajiangshan is a force that speaks with his fists, as long as he can fight enough, he will be feared by other monsters.

Using the identity of the ghost general, Kamiya has recently begun to investigate the internal armament situation of the Great River.

Roughly obtained some useful information -

The ghost generals in the great rivers and mountains, not counting Kamiya himself, there are fifteen in total.

There are no Aragami among the ghost generals, and twelve of them have C-level strength. The mountain man who was killed before is probably at the bottleneck of C-level breaking through B-level, and this level belongs to the top combat power in the ghost general level of Dajiangshan.

Among the twelve C-level ghost generals, eight of them are ghost clans.

In the current big rivers and mountains, there are many kinds of strange stories of all kinds, and the number of ghost clans is not dominant. But from the perspective of the high-level composition, the basic plate is still controlled by the ghost clan.

"Comparing the forces of the Great River and the Mountains with my own forces, the number of C-level strange talks is superior to the Great Rivers and Mountains. But there are enough Aragami that can be mobilized on my side, and there are only two known on the Dajiangshan side, the Golden Bear and the Star Bear, even if they fight head-on, my side will not necessarily lose. ”

If this is the case, even if Kamiyagawa and his subordinate gods suddenly attack inside the Great River Mountain Castle, it will be enough to turn that monster city upside down.

But there are still uncertain factors, such as the S-class snake god who is located at the Ibuki Damyojin Shrine.

And if you have to say it, there is also the Ibaraki boy, so far Kamiya has not obtained any information related to the Ibaraki boy on the side of the great rivers and mountains.

"According to my current understanding, the expansion of Dajiangshan has a trend of southward. If you really go south, it won't be long before you hit Dreamland head-on. When the two forces officially clash, then my work behind enemy lines is almost complete. ”

The members of the Oni Clan are quite aggressive, which can be seen from the Golden Bear Boy.

The only difference is the star bear, the glamorous one-horned female who is addicted to alcohol has always had a vague attitude towards expansion.

But Xingxiong's relatively soft dovish attitude does not have too many supporters in the upper echelons of Dajiangshan, and it is impossible for her alone to change the internal ecology of Dajiangshan.

Therefore, after this period of latent observation, Kamiyagawa can already determine that as long as Paradise is exposed to the forces of the great rivers and mountains, there will definitely be a battle between the two sides.

And inevitably.

Reckless, predatory at all costs, perhaps the nature of most ghosts?

"I have to take the necessary action before a formal conflict occurs. There may not be as much time as I had originally estimated, and everything will be able to protect my own forces as the first priority. ”

……

Leave the master bedroom and push the door onto the second floor hallway.

"Squeak!"

As usual, the dutiful dirt tasted and waited at the door with a small wooden basin.

After receiving the permission of the head of the house, the rat eagerly entered the room and cleaned it meticulously.

Kamiyagawa descended the stairs, and he was about to go to the kitchen to find something to eat.

This time, he entered the eternal world and stayed for two days in one breath.

Although his consciousness was not online for two days, there was no problem with his body in the real world, except that he woke up feeling very hungry.

The benefits of condensing the power of ghosts and gods to the body are still obvious, whether it is for combat or daily life.

"If this continues, will I become like a weird talker? Don't need to eat much, and even the basic rest time is greatly reduced? Such...... In a sense, it's not impossible. ”

Kamiyagawa is ruthless and even exploits himself.

belongs to the evil dragon and eventually becomes a dragon slaying boy.

The chosen worker is actually myself.

I found two bento boxes in the refrigerator in the kitchen, one beef fried dumplings and one fried chicken rice, all of which were newly bought depending on the date.

Kamiyagawa has been in Changshi for the past two days, so this is probably the Wenche Demon Concubine who got off work, or Xiaolu bought it back and stored it in the refrigerator on the way from school.

The two of them also knew that once Kamiya had recently returned from the normal world, in addition to simply taking a shower, another important thing was to find food at home.

Bento boxes aren't particularly tasty, but they're easy to fill up.

You can't go wrong with a little at home at any time.

It can only be said that the apprentice and the secretary are still very considerate, and they have their own master and master in their hearts.

After heating up both bento boxes, a hungry Kamiya sat down at the table and began to eat.

In the process of eating, he saw a small pile of materials on the corner of the table.

There was also a sticky note on it, written in Juanxiu's handwriting: [Master, please take a look.] ]

It's the princess who stayed here.,Report on the recent handling of the matter of Genie Animation Studio.。

Take it and look through it.

WENCHE HAS BEEN VERY BUSY LATELY, AND THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS TO DEAL WITH AT GENIE STUDIO.

The TV broadcast of the first season of "Miss Mary" has ended, and it has achieved very good results, and the average rating of the last episode even exceeded 5%.

TBS has even begun to negotiate with Wenche about booking the TV broadcast rights for the second season of the future.

Then there is the report of the online broadcast of the drama, as well as the report of the sales of Blu-ray DVDs.

The situation is very good.

Especially in the DVD sales area, although it has only been a few days now, according to Wenche's calculations, the profit income obtained in this area is enough to completely return to the initial investment of "Miss Mary", and then there is an objective estimated sales.

There are also peripheral benefits from the drama, which has also begun to bear fruit.

The order for the figure has been arranged, and a contract with Lawson convenience store for character linkage desserts has been preliminarily signed.

"Although I don't know much about the surrounding benefits, just looking at the report, Xiaowenche's work is very good. In the words of Shikipo, this is what it feels like to have a lot of money! ”

In fact, Zashiki's important opinion on the family's financial fortune is "babbling, babbling".

But the old father knew what she was expressing.

CONTINUE TO FLIP THROUGH GENIE'S REPORT, AND SEE SOMETHING VERY INTERESTING IN THE LAST PAGE OF GOD VALLEY -

There is a company that produces "pachinko" and has offered to buy Genie Studio for 200 million yen.

There is a very peculiar phenomenon in Japan, pachinko is also a gambling machine, and it is closely related to the ACG industry, which should not be able to beat the eight poles.

Examples of anime, animation, and games linking "pachinko" are not uncommon, and they are increasing year by year.

For a long time in the past, the target users of "Pachinko" were the elderly and housewives who had money in their hands and had a lot of free time.

However, with the ongoing economic downturn and the introduction of business restrictions, pachinko merchants need to expand into new customer sources.

So they set their sights on the ACG industry and introduced a simple and crude marketing method - bundling popular IPs.

This initiative has been particularly successful in Japan, attracting a large number of young people to the pachinko consumer group.

Although it will bring the infamy of promoting gambling and making black money, there are still many IPs who hug the thighs of the "pachinko" industry in order to raise funds, and there are many examples of unpopular works in the animation industry that make money by selling "pachinko" copyrights to make money and shoot sequels.

Although it is a bit dark humorous to say, some small animation studios that have the rights to unpopular masterpieces and are at risk of bankruptcy for various reasons will really rely on the capital injection of pachinko to resurrect and rejuvenate themselves.

There is a smell of a good family forced to go to the sea.

Even pachinko manufacturers, who are rich because they make a lot of black money, will directly buy some studios.

Later, in ACG's game industry, in addition to selling IP licensing, some game companies with IP would even take direct action, not making the difference in price, and set up their own "pachinko" departments and manufacturers to ensure that fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders.

TYPICAL EXAMPLES OF THIS ARE KONAMI AND CAPCOM.

Mysteriously, a game series that hasn't been sequel for many years has new information announced, and the final "game" is a new pachinko. It's not like this kind of operation that these two major game manufacturers haven't done before.

"So "Miss Mary" is gaining momentum, did Pachinko come when he smelled it? In addition, Miss Mary in the drama has a bonus of good luck, and Pachinko seems to be particularly interested in this IP......"

Kamiyagawa couldn't laugh or cry a little.

But being noticed by the pachinko with a keen sense of smell also shows that his own drama is really popular.

Regarding the acquisition proposal of the pachinko manufacturer, of course, the Wenche Demon Concubine directly refused.

Joke!

Our studio is really thriving, how can it be sold to the gambling industry at a low price!

I don't think too much about the linkage with Pachinko, there is indeed a lot of money in the gaming industry, but it will affect the wind review of Genie Studio. The cross-border copyright linkage is carried out within the normal scope of convenience stores, desserts, drinks, and cafes, and the money earned is enough for GENIE's follow-up operation.

Anyway, the most important purpose of the studio is to spread faith to Shikigami.

"In this way, Hotaru's upfront investment in "Miss Mary" can also bring her a very good income." LOOKING AT GENIE'S FINANCIAL REPORT, KAMIYA ALSO THOUGHT OF ONIZUKA WHO HE HADN'T SEEN FOR A WHILE.

Although with the temperament and financial resources of the little witch, she probably won't care too much about the return on investment.

But the dividend still has to be divided.

Kamiyagawa feels like he's finally standing up in front of Onizuka!

GENIE STUDIO REPORT CONCLUDES WITH SOME FOLLOW-UP WORK PLANS.

This includes the establishment of the second season of "Miss Mary", as well as plans to consider launching a new drama or animated film with the whale as the protagonist.

With the current revenue of the studio, these things can be done.

Mr. Miyake, Kamiya's royal writer, has recently revisited the Living Fish Hotel and is fully engaged in the creation of a new script.

……

AFTER EATING, AND AFTER READING GENIE'S RECENT WORK, KAMIYA CAME OUT OF THE RESTAURANT SATISFIED.

When I walked to the hallway, I saw Shikanoya sitting in the entrance and changing shoes.

On the floor beside her, there was a school bag, a bag of fresh ingredients, and a bento box.

The fawn took off her shiny uniform leather shoes, placed them seriously, and changed into the slippers at home, during which she suddenly felt something, and her small nose twitched slightly. Then he looked back with a shiny look in his eyes:

"Master! Are you awake? ”

"Well, welcome home."

"Master, Master, I went to the strategy room today to shoot a target! I hit the bull's-eye! Xiaolu grabbed his schoolbag and trotted to the master's side, happy like a puppy, and then thought of something, and turned out a pile of materials from the bag, "Also, the information you want from the master, the countermeasures room has sorted out some more, and I will bring it back by the way!" ”

Kamiya's recent request for information from the countermeasure room is about Ibuki Damyojin.

I've already taken a lot of it before, and what Xiaolu brought back this trip is some new additions.

Because Kamiya has basically stayed in the Changshi for the past two days, and Wenche is very busy because of things in the studio, the work of bringing materials naturally falls on the little apprentice.

Anyway, the fawn has long been familiar with the countermeasures room in Tokyo, so it's easy to run errands.

The master and apprentice went to the living room.

Xiaolu chattered about the past two days, whether it was in her school, or in practice, and of course her Shikami.

"Master, the one you gave me last time, the relic of Ah Busy, the red deer has already absorbed it! Stupidity and blind control are super powerful! ”

In front of Kamiya, this girl always has an overly strong desire to share.

Although the apprentice was a little chattering, as the master Kamiya didn't bother her, he just listened with a fatherly smile.

The daily life of the soul killer JK also sounds quite interesting, and it is also a part of returning to the present world to rest.

It wasn't until the deer got tired of talking and took the ingredients she brought back to the kitchen that Kamiya regained his normal color, frowning slightly and turning his attention to the stack of materials related to Ibuki Damyojin.

The information about the great Myojin of Ibuki, the last time he came back from the palace of Oeyama Castle, he had already done the corresponding understanding-

In Japanese mythology, there is a mountain range called the Ibuki Mountains where Gifu Prefecture and Shiga Prefecture meet, and the main peak of this mountain range is Mt. Ibuki, and there is a mountain god on the mountain, which is called "Ibuki Daimyojin".

And it is recorded in the "Japanese Secretaries" that Ibuki Damyojin is a huge snake god.

In the present world, there are two shrines in Ibuki, namely Ifuki Shrine in Shiga Prefecture and Ifuki Shrine in Gifu Prefecture.

A lot of the information that Kamiya has obtained so far is also provided by these two shrines.

In Japanese mythology, there is a martial deity named Wakenmei.

He was ordered to crusade against the people and evil gods who disobeyed the imperial court, and won victory after victory, but only at Mt. Ibuki was broken with a halberd.

The thick mist spewed out by the great snake form of Ibuki Damyojin severely injured Ujianmei, and then Wuzun died with a whimper.

And since Ibuki can defeat the legendary Takezun, it must be unusual.

According to the information that Kamiya knows and has now, there is really a certain connection between the snake god of Mt. Ibuki and the Yaki Orochi that he guessed before.

In various sources, it is said that Ibuki is the incarnation of the Yaki Orochi, and it is also said that Ibuki is actually the heir of the Yagi Orochi.

In short, this deity can be called "Yagi Little Snake". (End of chapter)
