Before Kamiyagawa paid the deposit, he checked the information about Arakawa's haunted house on the Internet.
In the tragic massacre eight years ago, the hostess Tomoko Kiyohara, her husband, and their 6-year-old daughter were all found dead at home.
But in the story the mother told in the basement just now, her daughter never appeared.
Kamiya finally understood what was going on.
He had heard of a disease called postpartum stress schizophrenia, which is a sudden mental illness caused by pregnancy and childbirth. During the illness, patients may experience irritability, disturbance of consciousness, delusions, hallucinations, anxiety, etc. Wait for performance. In severe cases, behaviors such as suicide and infanticide may occur.
"According to the story I just heard, Tomoko Kiyohara's second child was stillborn, and her mental state at the time was probably very bad."
Perhaps due to the influence of consciousness disorder and delusions, he regarded his original eldest daughter as the so-called "husband's cheating lover".
Kamiya is not a professional in this area, so this is just a guess.
In this world where strange forces and chaotic gods exist, many things are uncertain. It is also possible that Tomoko Kiyohara was directly affected by the stillbirth, which led to delusions and hallucinations.
But no matter what the reason is, the tragedy of Arakawa's haunted house is a complete tragedy.
It shouldn't have happened.
Kamiyakawa's face turned slightly gloomy, and he stood in the basement holding the knife without moving.
As Yuki Makensuke said before, as a spiritual exterminator, you often see stories and endings that are not perfect.
He might have to get used to it.
After standing for a while, Kamiya saw a small half of a red crayon emerging from the small space behind the wall.
[Story of Strange Encounters, Red Crayon. ]
[The foreign visit catalog has been updated. ]
[Ghost story name: Red Crayon]
[Grade: D level]
[Status: Visiting]
Another strange story about a foreign visit was also born out of the tragedy eight years ago.
Although they are all D-level, this little red crayon with an unattractive appearance is probably not much weaker than the terrifying-looking childbirth girl.
It should even be stronger than that of a childbirth woman.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have trapped the pregnant woman in the basement for so long just by himself.
The crayon hung slightly, fell to the ground, and began to write.
It's like being held by someone, but the person holding the pen can't be seen.
The red crayon was writing and drawing, but it did not become shorter or shorter. It just left a slightly deformed line on the wet ground, with an extremely immature line:
"Where's my mother?"
Kamiyakawa was silent, not knowing how to respond to this question.
After a while, he spoke: "I dismissed your mother and she is no longer here."
He still chose to tell the truth.
This is true after all.
The crayon started moving again and wrote crookedly on the ground: "Mom killed my father. My mother locked me in the wall. It was pitch black. I was so scared. I kept crying until I had no strength left. My mother still didn't want to let me go." I came out. Later, my mother wanted to kill more people."
Kamiyagawa:……
Red Crayon is not hostile to Kamiya because he got rid of her mother.
Her feelings for her mother are probably very complicated.
rustle.
Crayons move.
"Is my mother a bad person?"
"……She is sick."
The piece of red crayon hung slightly a few centimeters above the ground and paused for about half a minute.
The invisible pen holder seems to be thinking and understanding the meaning of Kamiyagawa's words.
Finally, she wrote on the ground: "Mom is very gentle."
rustle.
The crayon keeps moving.
A dark basement.
Kamiyakawa narrowed his eyes and could clearly see the last line of red crayon left on the ground.
The shape of the words was deformed and twisted on the wet ground, dizzy with dirty water, but the red color was dazzling——
"Caiori, love, my mother."
The handwriting is still very childish, as if you can see an innocent and cute little girl, with a bright and dazzling smile, expressing love to her mother candidly and sincerely.
But I don’t know why, this is supposed to be an extremely warm atmosphere, but it’s also creepy.
Kamiyakawa remained silent and did not speak. Suddenly, he felt a cold and soft touch coming from the palm of his right hand.
It was Prajna who had been floating beside him, gently pulling his hand.
This behavior of Prajna is probably to plead for the little crayon.
Although she likes to tease children, she actually loves and protects the strange children around her.
This guy is so conflicted.
The red crayon named "Ayaori" is essentially a little girl about 6 years old, which is in line with Prajna's preferences.
However, she didn't bully others when she first came up today.
Maybe it’s because compassion and motherhood are overflowing...
Kamiya knew what Prajna meant and said softly: "I have no intention of evacuating her. No...in your eyes, what kind of person am I?"
Xiao Aizhi tried to rescue the puppet controlled by Kamiyagawa when it was attacked by a childbirth girl.
In addition, she tied up the extremely violent childbirth in the basement and refused to let her leave.
From this we can initially judge that Red Crayon is not a completely irrational evil spirit.
But Cai Zhi is a D-class Kaitan after all, different from the two new employees in the living room. Kuuchang and Hiyoribo currently belong to the kind of little monsters that will not cause any harm if left alone.
As for this small half red crayon, I need to observe it again.
After getting rid of the childbirth in the basement, this one-family building can no longer be considered a haunted house.
He stayed in the living room and collected himself.
Waiting until the little old man and the members of the hearse team came back.
…
In the study room on the second floor.
"Okay, let's put Wu-chan here first. She will definitely like it here after she wakes up."
"Hai Weiye, I like it here very much!"
Sister Gao Shan in the hearse group took Sister Xiao Yuan and placed Xiao Wu's old telephone with peeling paint in the study room.
Then he raised his head and happily went to visit the large garage on the first floor together with Oishi and the Mikami brothers.
"I love that garage so much! From now on, we don't have to go to another world or find an uninhabited corner to park our car." Along the way, Junma Oishi babbled while holding his yellow-haired head in his arms.
Even Takayama Makoto, who always liked to contradict him and choke him, rarely refuted him.
…
In the kitchen and dining room.
Hannya, who had packed up the daily necessities for Kamiyagawa, floated here. A purple and white undergarment fell from the air, and his feet lightly touched the ground.
Normally, she would only take on human form and walk when she was completely relaxed in the real world and her guard was off.
"Hmph~"
Prajna looked around excitedly.
The kitchen in the new house looks much bigger than the old apartment!
There are more things that can be done.
Of course... "things that can be done" refer to other things, and cooking for some idiot who can't take care of himself is just incidental.
"ah!"
Behind Prajna, the crisp ringing sound sounded.
A Zashiki boy in a red and white kimono appeared and stretched out his little hand to hold her cuffs.
It seems that we want to visit together.
Although Hannya still teases Zashiki regularly, when nothing happens, Zashiki always likes to follow behind her.
After all, Prajna really loved her.
It hurts so much for a little mother to take care of her daughter.
"Yeah~"
Zashiki really likes this big family now.
My favorites among them are of course my old father Kamiyagawa and Hannya.
Then, the handsome sister Gao Shan and the not-so-smart sister Ohara in the hearse group were also very kind to her, and everyone else was also very kind to her.
The little God of Fortune's wish to see and protect the smiling faces of his family is really coming true at this moment.
oh……
That's Sister Mary.
She's not bad either.
But he is always cold, and basically only stays by his old father's side.
When Zashiki faces Mari, he feels a lot of pressure and is a little scared.
From Fu Bao's special "daughter's perspective" in Kamiya's big family, Kamiya is the old father and Prajna is the real mother.
As for Sister Mary... she is not a bad stepmother, but not easy to get along with.
…
In the corridor on the first floor.
The small half of the red crayon was suspended a few centimeters above the ground, floating and stopping.
Behind her, the little old man Mini followed closely with his hands behind his back, without squinting.
Kamiyagawa did not deal with the red crayon Saiori, and allowed her to leave the basement, but it was agreed that she could only stay in this one-family building unless he agreed.
The little crayon wrote [OK] on the ground in a daze.
Just in case, Kamiya also arranged for a little old man to follow her with his body.
After Red Crayon came to the ground, she was a little too excited.
Specifically, he would scribble a turtle on the floor and a cat head on the wall from time to time.
Considering that she might have stayed in the basement for too long, and for some emotional reasons, Kamiyagawa was very indulgent to her tonight.
She can draw pictures at home.
Of course, it's only for tonight. If you want to stay with Caizhi for a long time, you will still have to try to discipline her in the future.
"Zhizhi, hey Xiu——"
Behind the noisy little crayon and the dutiful little old man, there is the big rat in a hurry.
Wherever the red crayon draws, it follows.
Using the square towel in my hand as a rag, I vigorously wiped away the children's graffiti, and I was so busy that I was panting.
It's dirty here, it's dirty there.
No, no, it can’t be like this! It’s good to keep your home clean!
Shushu, I am really exhausted!
…
In the living room.
Hiyoribo, the new employee, stood timidly with a Sunny Baby on his back.
Her fair little face turned red, showing that she was working very hard.
After a while, the sunny doll on Hiyoribo's back began to emit a warm light, and eventually she herself became shining and shining.
The beautiful halo flowed from the edge of her goose-yellow dress, turning into a warm and dry breath, slowly flowing around, bringing with it a sense of comfort like the afternoon sun.
Hiyoribo continued to shine, and at the same time he carefully raised his head to Kamiya who was sitting in front of him: "That's it, Lord Kamiya."
"Awesome, like a little sun."
Kamiyagawa held the spot and applauded Hiyoribo who was performing a talent show.
"Actually, it's not that powerful."
Being praised suddenly, Hiyoribo, who was timid by nature, felt a little shy, and his delicate little face blushed even more.
"I will clean up the basement these days, and then I will ask you to use your ability to dry the environment down there."
"I will definitely do a good job!"
This is the first job Hiyoribo received after joining Kamiya-sama's side.
She decided to do her best, perform well, and let Lord Kamiya recognize her worth.
Hiyoribo feels that only in this way can he get better protection.
"You're really motivated, so I'll trouble you."
Kamiyakawa nodded to her, stood up and left the living room.
In the room, Hiyoribo, Inugami and Dream-Eating Tapir were left.
"Puff."
Tapir seemed to like the warm feeling emanating from Hiyoribo. He shook his nose, quickly got closer to her, curled up and began to take a nap.
This made Thumbelina wonder whether she should put away her abilities.
"Ouch——"
During the hesitation, Hiyoribo saw the Inugami beside the wall snorting and raised his chin towards her.
"Inugami...senpai?"
Compared with when they first met more than an hour ago, the ferocious black beast seemed to be much more friendly and kind to her. Anyway, it didn't look as vicious as it did at the beginning.
"Woof."
Inugami's scarlet eyes reveal confidence and comparison.
The next second, sparks burned on its body, and red patches flashed!
"Wow wow wow!" Hiyoribo was so frightened that he fell to the ground, "Inugami-senpai, you are too hot!"
…
After leaving the living room, Kamiyakawa followed the stairs to the second floor.
When he opened the door of the master bedroom, he saw Mary standing quietly inside, staring at the bed in the bedroom with an expressionless face.
"What's wrong?"
Mary didn't respond immediately. She looked at Kamiyakawa, then lowered her head and continued staring at the bed.
His expression was inexplicably serious.
After a while, a rustling sound of electricity came from the phone.
"There is no smell of you on the bed."
"We haven't lived in this house yet, how could there be..."
Kamiyakawa raised his hand and pressed his temples.
I bet Mary stayed in the master bedroom for a long time, thinking about this?
What do I smell like?
rustle--
"Yes, it smells like other people."
"It can't be helped. After all, it was someone else's furniture before."
"Mary, I don't like it."
Kamiyagawa:……
Why did you choose this?
Recognize the bed, right?
Moreover, why did Mary default to sleeping in the master bedroom...
It's obviously such a big new home.
Also, with the weird story that you will turn into a doll after a spiritual sleep, do you really need a bed?
Although he was complaining in his heart, Kamiyagawa was very honest:
"If you don't like it, you won't sleep here tonight. Oishi and the others brought bedding and other things from the apartment and laid out the tatami tonight. I will slowly replace the furniture in this house with new ones in the future. of."
Change, the bed in the master bedroom should be changed first!
I'll change it tomorrow!
Anyway, the master bedroom has a lot of space, so I changed the bed to an extra-large one!
Nothing else, mainly because I like to sleep in a big bed.
Because I successfully borrowed a large sum of money and paid the full amount to the haunted house, there will be a lot left over after including necessary expenses such as transfer fees.
That's enough to buy new furniture to furnish a room or two first.
And when he thought of the little miko's loan, Kamiyagawa suddenly had a thought in his mind for no reason: "Speaking of which, do I need to reserve a room for Onizuka?"
But then I thought about it, if I really wanted to stay, one room would definitely not be enough.
Before Kamiyagawa repays the huge sum of money, strictly speaking, most of this house belongs to the little miko...
