Zashiki Warashi.
A traditional ghost story, people generally regard it as a god of good fortune and good luck.
Many people worship Zashiki Warashi as a household god. It is said that as long as a Zashiki resides in their home, the family will prosper.
In addition, it is said that children are more likely to see Zashiki Warashi than adults.
If a child is playing with familiar faces, but it feels like there is one more person than at the beginning, it is probably Zashiki Warashi who has gotten into the mix.
Kamiyagawa currently has a bit of knowledge about ghost stories.
During lunch, listening to Xiao Pingtou's description, Kamiya indeed associated the appearance of the ghostly spirit descending on the bell with the legendary Zashiki Warashi.
But the problem is——
Will Zashiki Warashi teach others to gamble?
Theoretically speaking, this kind of strange story has a good reputation and has nothing to do with gambling.
Kamiyagawa typed out his doubts and sent them to [Murasole].
After a while, the other party responded to the message.
[Murakami]: "Generally speaking, monsters like Zashiki Warashi are very honest, and they cannot instigate people to participate in gambling."
[Murakami]: "But those who have Zashiki Warashi around them and are not strong-willed may indeed fall into the abyss of gambling."
[The Honest Stranger]: "Ah? Why do you say that? (Doubt.jpg)"
[Murakami]: "Because Zashiki Warashi can give people good luck."
[Purple Shangzhang]: "If one day, you find that something around you seems to bring extraordinary good luck. Then will you choose to go to the gambling table and make the most of this luck? ?”
[Honest foreigner]: "Then I might go and scratch the lottery ticket."
[Purple Shangzhang]: "Good luck doesn't mean you can win the jackpot by scratching the lottery ticket. Small and medium-sized prizes can also be considered good luck."
While typing casually and joking with [Murrasco], Kamiyagawa actually understood what the other person meant.
Masao, the young flat-headed Nagatomo, mentioned before that his father was originally a good man, but he started gambling after being instigated by ghost stories and turned into a bad man.
But this is just his speculation.
In other words, this is what Masao Nagatomo hopes for as a son, the reason why his father turns bad.
If this is the case, his father is not a self-destructive gambler who is the victim of ghost stories.
There is still help.
Unfortunately, things seem to be different from what Nagatomo hoped for.
According to the information provided by [Purple Sword], the ghost that descended on the bell is most likely Zashiki Warashi.
This kind of strange story can bring people good luck.
As for Xiao Pingtou's father, he most likely realized that the bell could bring extraordinary good luck. Driven by greed, he tried to make big and quick money through gambling.
In the end, he made a wrong move and fell into a quagmire unable to extricate himself.
Zashiki warashi cannot instigate people to gamble, but people's greed can.
After Kamitani thought for a while, he typed on the keyboard of his mobile phone——
[The honest stranger]: "There is another question. My client said that his family member who holds the bell lost miserably in the casino."
[The honest stranger]: "If the bell is Zashiki that brings good luck, this shouldn't be the case, right?"
[Purple Shangzhang]: "Relying on the ability of a little monster, you can make money every day in the casino, and then make a lot of money. How can there be such a good thing in this world."
Kamiyagawa:……
What the boss said makes sense, and I can't refute it.
That's right, how can there be such a good thing in the world?
And Kamiyagawa has never had a good impression of gamblers.
According to his point of view, it is impossible to do well in gambling.
As long as you are on the gambling table, regardless of your gambling skills or luck, those who win will still win, and those who lose will want to get their money back. When the time comes to play, they will not care about anything. No one can even think about leaving the table unless they lose and go bankrupt.
If you gamble for a long time, you will lose.
"So, I swear that I will never fight gambling or drug addiction."
Kamiyakawa sighed as he tapped the small square dining table with his fingertips.
While he was thinking and comprehending the principles of life, the boss of [Purple Shangzhang] sent another thoughtful message.
[Murakami]: "If it is really Zashiki Warashi who descended from the spirit, you can still accept this request. After all, this kind of ghost story is not too offensive."
The Onizuka Miko on the other end of the phone right now.
She had just finished practicing for the day, washed up and went to bed, holding an ugly large plush doll in her arms.
The little miko is the kind of person who needs to hold something to feel safe when sleeping.
"The stranger said before that he dealt with a Bai'er. If he can deal with Bai'er, he can also deal with Zashiki Warashi."
Judging from Onizuka Kiriho's experience in expelling ghosts, compared with Zashiki Warashi, although the latter's abilities are more wonderful, they are almost the same in terms of combat power, and they are both the kind of little monsters that are easier to deal with.
After briefly thinking for a few seconds, the little miko clamped the doll in her arms between her smooth thighs, and then typed with both hands——
"However, you still have to be careful. The most important thing about removing spirits is that you cannot take everything lightly."
In fact, the little miko Onizuka, who is not yet an adult and is always full of energy, often does things recklessly.
"Don't take anything lightly," this was what Grandma Gu said most often when she was educating her about her destiny.
Onizuka Kirihota couldn't say how much she could hear these words, but that didn't stop her from reminding strangers in the same way.
This may be considered another form of kicking the cat effect.
After the message was sent, the other side responded instantly——
[Honest Stranger]: "I will be careful. I will follow your teachings, boss."
"Hmph~"
The little witch turned over on the bed proudly.
The two chatted casually for a while, occasionally interspersed with sharing a few daily trivial matters that were not important to each other.
After that, they said good night to each other and logged off.
…
After Onizuka Kiriho said "good night", she really put down her phone and went to sleep.
But Kamiyagawa's "good night" actually simply expressed the meaning of the end of the chat.
Turning off the screen of his mobile phone, he thought for a while about Nagatomo Masao's entrustment to remove ghosts, and during this period he wrote random Chinese homework for a while.
By the time I put down the pen and regained consciousness, the night was already very deep.
"ha--"
Kamiyakawa yawned and was about to go to bed. When he turned his head, he saw that Hannya had moved a high round stool at some point and was sitting not too far away from him.
"I thought you went back to the shikigami statue." Kamiyakawa stood up from Xiaofang's dining table.
The ghost girl with long undergarments didn't give any reaction. She just sat with her legs together and her posture elegant. She was holding a mug in her hand, with a hint of heat lingering on the rim of the mug.
"That cup is mine, right?" Kamiyakawa thought, but did not say it out loud.
The hot drink in the mug is black with a little foam.
black coffee.
Prajna had just quietly soaked it up, and hadn't had time to take the first sip.
"whispering sound."
Seeing her own onmyoji's eyes falling on the hot drink she had just brewed, Hannya flicked her sleeves to protect the cup, and two masks, one large and one small, were spinning around her.
The expression on the ghost girl's face is rarely easy to understand——
What are you looking at? This is what I deserve after working hard at housework!
You have to drink it yourself!
