The process of the human grass soul entering the sea of flowers on the other side is similar to what was discussed before.

There is a seal left by Izanagi in Apokihara, and the living people can't do without it.

But Yatachi has the authority to extradite the deceased, and Kazuki is the master of the Santu River.

The two of them could indeed send those dying souls who had escaped from their bodies to the flower fields on the other side of the River Styx.

It's just that the souls of the human grass have sunk on the Apoqi Plains for too long and too long in a state of checkmate death. Moreover, even with the help of Hachika and Kazuki Fumi, shuttling through space to enter the Santu River is still a big burden for those souls.

Therefore, even if it reaches the Santu River, the soul of the human grass can only sleep unconsciously.

Only after Kazuki regains the full authority of the Yama Lord and completely rebuilds the Santu River in the future, will it be possible to send all those souls to reincarnation.

"This should be the end of the matter."

The Kamiya River stands above a desolate wilderness.

After defeating the Great Immortal Peach God and the two Yin God Lei Gong, Apo Qi Yuan could no longer feel the breath of the Yellow Spring Gods.

Things are indeed over here.

The main material I was looking for on this trip was successfully found, and I also got a lot of extra loot.

In addition, when the souls of the people and grass are extradited to the Santu River, the Yachitori, who is an A-level god, should also be regarded as a wish.

Kamiyagawa was going to invite her to leave Apogihara and see the wider world together.

To put it more bluntly -

Invite her to join the Shintaka Tengahara forces.

Kamiyagawa can use the Thousand Leadstone Stone Slab that has been modified by his own side to bring in the strange chatters of the non-Shikigami gods, and then he can also bring out the Yatashi Bird.

In addition, in the dream of the millennium celebration, Kamiya saw what happened to Yatachi when he was a child.

It can be seen that Kohachi-tachi is obviously longing for leaving Apogihara to go to the outside world.

In addition, the current Yachiko itself has nowhere to go, and with Kamiyagawa's skillful mouth, it shouldn't be difficult to pull her into the gang.

Among the current Shintaka Tengahara forces, there are also A-level gods who are not Shikigami gods.

It's Ainu's spider mother goddess, and the Ibaraki boy of the Great River.

However, for different reasons, the two of them are temporarily stranded in their respective shrines and cannot get out.

But the eight birds are different.

She is able to move completely freely.

As long as she joins the forces, she will definitely be able to become a strong member of her own side.

Therefore, this trip to Apoqiyuan can be regarded as a rich result of "both people and money".

It stands to reason that Kamiyagawa should be very happy.

But now he just stood silently on the wasteland, quietly watching the dots of "river lanterns" on the Apoqi River, flowing along the water waves.

I don't know what I'm thinking.

"It looks like there's still something left to do."

Kamiya didn't bother the extradition of Hachitori and Kazuki the whole time, and now he just walked downstream along the river alone.

He remembered that someone had told him earlier with a look of excitement—

"You can't go back on what you promised!"

……

The section of the Apoki River near the ruins of Chikushi Castle.

The Kamiya River stopped on the bank of the river here.

Here, it was extremely close to the other side of the flower that Xiang Yue summoned downstream.

The bright and dark river lanterns and the gorgeous sea of flowers on the other side blend and reflect in the moonlight, and the song of the eight birds in the high place to bid farewell to the deceased is sent by the night breeze.

Kamiyagawa stood quietly here for a while, when he suddenly saw a soft river light coming on, breaking free from the push of the water, and swaying closer to the river bank after being separated from the little lights of his peers.

The lanterns that these dead people were made into appear to be in the same style as those they were sacrificed at the millennium celebrations.

Although illusory, the outline of the bamboo strip colored paper is clear.

Each one is exquisitely beautiful, and it is clear that the people who once put out these shaped river lanterns have put a lot of thought into it.

It's just that what is now on these river lamps is not the beautiful vision of the people and grass, but their souls.

The river lantern floating towards Kamiyagawa was a little more elaborate than most of the others. Obviously, the soul carried on this river lamp was extremely ingenious during his lifetime.

This lantern is cherry pink and has the shape of a blooming flower.

On top of the river lanterns, there are many colorful illusory wildflower decorations.

And these decorated wildflowers seem somewhat familiar to Kamiya.

He leaned down slightly, spread his right hand, and stretched out his way towards the river: "Sakura? ”

The cherry pink river lantern swayed against the current again, and the amplitude was brisk, and the petal-shaped "hull" gently touched Kamiya's fingertips.

Obviously, the river lantern is illusory, but Kamiya can really feel the feeling of touching.

The soft and warm touch on the fingertips makes it look very real.

At the same time, a familiar voice reached his ears as he touched the river lamp.

"I thought I wouldn't be able to make it to you. It's okay, it's okay, you're still here. ”

Touch.

The bright soul fire in the center of the flower-like river lamp flickered.

The girl's voice passed from the flickering firelight was still bright and lively.

"It's great to have the courage to invite you to watch the river lanterns. It's no wonder that at that time, I felt that if I missed it, I would never have a chance again. So look, I'm really not a strange person. I was just...... There isn't much time left. ”

Touch.

The soul fire in the river lantern swayed even more.

It also seems to be a little irresistible to the push of the current.

Sakura couldn't stay in her current state for long, and she should go to Santugawa.

It was her best place to be.

"River lanterns, it's beautiful, isn't it? Like I told you, the river lanterns in our Purple City are the most beautiful! Ah, sorry, sorry...... It's almost time for me to go, with everyone. ”

At the time of separation, Sakura didn't show much sadness.

Counting this time, Kamiyagawa has had direct contact with this celebrity grass girl a total of four times.

It seems that every time I see her, she is positive and optimistic, full of energy.

Maybe it's not worth grieving too much in the first place.

A hazy good feeling is just a good feeling, and it is far from a strong love.

Perhaps, Sakura wants to remain cheerful in front of the object of her favor until the end.

So the cherry pink river lantern gently rubbed the fingertips of the Kamiya River for the last time.

Then, at last, no longer resisting the thrust of the current, she swayed briskly forward, chasing after her companion who had been walking with her. The little streams of light flickered dimly, connecting into a dreamy band of light, flowing towards the flower field on the other side of the front.

Kamiyagawa stood up on the bank of the river again, unconsciously narrowing his eyes slightly, looking into the distance. And in the light of his eyes, he couldn't see too much emotion.

He just looked at the cherry pink river lantern, flowing through the junction of the river and the flower on the other side, and the outline was gradually obscured by the brilliant red.

And in a trance, in the depths of the sea of flowers with thin petals fluttering on the other side of the river lanterns, Kamiyagawa saw the human grass girl with a beautiful face in a white silk dress.

Her eyes were filled with a flickering and slightly moist smile, and she waved vigorously in the direction where Kamiya was.

Then the plain white figure was no longer visible.

"The river lantern is beautiful."

The night breeze on the riverside was a little cool, and the hunt shook the hem of Kamiyagawa's gorgeous clothes, blowing his black hair flying.

The cool breeze blows the petals of the flowers on the other side and blows over the thousands of streamers that stretch over the river, creating sparkling waves. Apogihara is lonely and vast, shining brightly under the bright white moonlight.

"Goodbye, Sakura."

……

After dealing with the affairs on the Apoqi Plain, Kamiyagawa used the Thousand Yin Stone Wall and went back to Fu Fu's hometown.

After he entered the Yellow Spring Hirazaka, the Thousand Leadstone Tablet controlled by his own side of the teleportation path had always been kept by Sister Jue.

The time it took to search for the main material on Hirazaka this time has been about three days.

During this time, Sister Jue has been quite worried about the situation in Kamiya.

Previously, Isohime, Crab Hime, and Rabbit Maru, who were not able to go to Hirazaka together this time, also took turns to enter the funeral home to check the situation.

Fortunately, now the leader of the New High Tengahara forces, all over the tail, has returned smoothly.

I feel that my hanging heart can finally be put down.

However, to Satoru's surprise, when Kamiyagawa went to Hirazaka, he was a group of people from his own forces.

But when he returned, he brought back another female companion wearing a black robe with four jet-black wings on her back.

All right......

Actually, this kind of thing is not too surprising, and I am a little used to it.

Although Satoru is not a combat unit, he knows all kinds of experiences in Kamiya.

Every time this boss of his own, he goes to various places to experience adventures, and it seems that he will establish a wonderful connection with the local female weirdos, and it is not uncommon for him to occasionally abduct one or two ignorant girls and turn them into his own people within the force.

In a sense, the personal hobby of the leader of Shintakamagahara, who "collects stamps" in various places, has indeed strengthened his own power.

It's just that Kamiya brought back this time, the black-robed woman named "Yachiko", judging from the breath alone, seems to be very strong, and it feels gloomy and not easy to mess with.

Therefore, Jue didn't laugh in front of the eight birds.

Anyway, when I'm alone with Kamiyagawa later, I'll just tease him again.

Kamiya left one of the trophies of this trip to Huangquan Hirazaka, [Izanagi's Hair Comb], here in Kakuta.

And got a definite answer, this thing is the main material that can come in handy.

With this ebony hairbrush, the construction of the "Shrine of the Lord" can be planned and started smoothly.

Because the work is important, I don't feel too delayed.

She called Sakami and soon got busy studying [Izanagi's Hair Comb].

This ebony hair comb and [Seven Emotions Chronicles: Magatama], as well as the data obtained from the previous physical examination of Kamiya with the mother-in-law who sold the feet, must be considered in combination in order to make a list of the most suitable auxiliary basic materials for the construction of the main shrine.

Bidding farewell to the craftsmen, Kamiyagawa asked the Shikigami and the strange talk to rest separately.

Although the battle against the three A-rank gods this time was dangerous, Kamiya's side fought very beautifully.

Most of his peers suffered only minor injuries.

Only the Utengu who single-handedly delayed the Fu Du Lei Gong was slightly more seriously injured, but it was far less serious than when he fought Sarutohiko before. As long as you recuperate for a while, you will definitely recover.

There is also a dream-eating tapir that swallowed the "dream cornerstone" of the Great Immortal Peach God, and now it has been digested in the shrine that has also been returned.

It is estimated that it will take some time to absorb the power of the peach fairy.

When he took stock of his own god's combat power before, Kamiya felt that the little tapir's qualifications for breaking through the A-level gods were slightly worse than those of other gods.

However, the return of this trip from Huangquan Hirazaka accommodates the ability of the Great Immortal Peach God, which is not estimated to be compensated.

The tapir should also have the potential to accept the bones of the gods.

After settling down the battle, Kamiyagawa took Yatazaka into Takamagahara, and let her see with her own eyes what the so-called "god withering" was like, and after doing all this, he went to Santugawa with Yatachi.

……

Santu River, the other side of the sea of flowers.

"So, the souls of the clansmen are now sleeping here." The lantern in the hand of the Eight Birds flickered, casting a dim haze, "You said earlier that the Santu River is different from the place where the dead sleep in the Yellow Spring. It doesn't seem to lie to me, I can feel it. ”

"Do you have any plans for the future?" Kamiya asked her.

"I don't know. Originally, I only wanted to end the dream of Momosen-sama, and I also thought about leaving Apogihara. But now that both of these things have come true, I don't know what to do. ”

Yachitori's black hood swayed, and her voice returned to its previous numb and cold state.

Standing above the realm of the River Styx, she resembles a god of death.

"In that case, stay with me. You don't know what the world is like outside of Apogihara, and my men and I will show you around. In addition, I hope that you can provide us with some help in any way you can. ”

Kamiya was open and honest, and officially began to solicit.

"Help?"

"Yes, it should be for the sake of the matter in Apoqiyuan, and return my favor."

"Something about Apogihara." Yachitori thought for a moment and shook his head slightly, "But, I don't owe you anything about that. ”

"Huh?"

"You helped me end the dream of reincarnation and extradite the human grass. I also helped you get out of the dream and get what you wanted. In Apogihara, we work well together, but we should not owe each other. ”

Kamiyagawa: ......

It's broken.

Yagashi is a little sober.

It doesn't seem so easy to fool her into working in the power.

However, Kamiya will not give up on recruiting Yatashi just because of this.

Don't be so thin-skinned, don't have emotional fluctuations because of the other party's words, then there will be a chance.

Kamiyagawa knows this well, and there are ways to do it.

It's just that before he could show affection to the eight birds and understand the reason, the other party continued:

"However, after the end of the Apoqihara incident, it is true that I owe you something. You took me away, and the souls of my people will probably sleep in your territory for a long, long time, and I want to be with them here. Will you let me stay here? Sanway Kawakami. ”

"I think if you stay in Santuchuan, Xiangyue will be very happy."

"Then I do owe you a favor. If you need help, I'll do my best. ”

"Huh...... Hehe, that couldn't be better. You're welcome to join us, Yachiniao. ”

As a result, Yachitori seems to be just a little rigid in calculating the accounts more clearly.

The conversation came full circle, and she reluctantly joined Kamiya's forces, and planned to reside on the Santu River.

If you need her help in the future, just come to Styx to find her.
