Hiss.
Inujiro's black hair was fluttering, his body was flashing with dazzling red spots, and the falling rain was turned into steam by the high temperature on his body.
The corrosive effect is lost.
There was a clang.
Kamiyakawa raised his foot and kicked down the screen covering directly opposite the door.
Now with his extraordinary visual ability, he was able to see clearly what was deep in the room.
There is a large bed in the back of this "torture chamber" themed room.
The bedding on the bed was soaked by rain and had long since rotted.
There is a man and a woman on the bed.
The man was lying upright on the bed, seemingly naked, wearing nothing.
His body had been severely corroded by the rain, and it was covered with dense green patches.
Kamiyakawa looked over carefully and realized that the moss was greasy moss growing from the man's flesh.
Most of his body was covered in moss.
But even so, the man still seemed alive.
At least there's still one breath left.
As for the young woman with black hair like a waterfall on the bed, she was sitting on the man's waist, exuding the aura of strange stories.
She was only wearing a long coat made of gauze material.
Unbuttoned, just open.
The woman's whole body was wet, and her transparent coat stuck to her body. Through the clothes, she could see a large area of snow-white skin underneath.
"Uh-huh-huh-"
The woman gasped softly and turned her head to look at Kamiya who rushed in.
She has a very beautiful face, and because of the rain, she has an inexplicable sense of charm.
"Do you want to join too?" The woman raised her hand to brush the wet hair around her ears, with a strange blush on her face and her eyes as charming as silk. "But the big dog next to you is too fierce and makes people afraid."
Buzz.
Kamiyagawa's cell phone vibrated.
[Encountering a strange story about a strange interview, Rain Girl. ]
[The foreign visit catalog has been updated. ]
[Ghost story name: Rain Girl]
[Grade: D level]
[Interview progress: 11%]
Kamiya didn't look at the information given on the phone.
In fact, just by looking at the scene in front of him, he recognized the identity of this female ghost story——
Rain Girl.
The essence is an evil spirit that appears in the rain.
The earliest legend of the Rain Girl may come from the Chinese region.
Chinese legend has it that the goddess of Wushan in ancient times had the ability to control wind and rain, but after this image was introduced to Japan, it turned into a ghost story.
Japanese folklorist Toriyama Sekiyan also recorded an annotation in the chapter "Rain Girl" in "Drawing a Hundred Ghosts at Night": "It may be that the Wushan goddess turns into clouds in the morning and rain in the evening. When her image is introduced to Japan, it will There is something similar like the Rain Girl.”
Since Wushan Goddess' "turning clouds and rain" is often used to refer to things between men and women, later generations also inferred that Toriyama used the rain girl to satirize the fickle and unfaithful prostitutes of Yoshihara in the Edo period.

In Japanese folk, the image of the rain girl is basically full of yin energy, lustful and fickle. In some rain girl stories, a touch of divinity is added to this strange tale.
Many legends developed from this.
And there is a saying——
The rain girl has the most lustful nature and will get acquainted with men in the rain. If she has sex with him, it will definitely cause disaster.
This is probably what Kamiyagawa is seeing now.
In addition, the rain girl in the room does not look strong, and she is probably a fallen monster that has not mixed with divinity.
"Haha, don't just look at it, come on. Keep your big dog away."
Yunu covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly.
Maybe it was because Kamiyagawa stood at the door for a while without taking any concrete action, which gave Amame the wrong idea that "this stranger who suddenly broke in and looked troublesome has been charmed."
She seized the opportunity and quickly raised her hand to snap the man's neck.
Then, a plain white folding umbrella appeared out of thin air in the palm of his hand.
The white umbrella unfolded, and green silk threads hung from the edge of the umbrella. Water drops continued to drip along the green silk threads.
Hua Hua——
The folded umbrella was flying and spinning, and the wet green hair was swaying, hiding murderous intent, heading towards the Kamiya River.
This rain girl can talk.
But it seems that he didn’t want to communicate well with Kamiyagawa from the beginning.
I just felt that the Inugami around Kamiya was really dangerous, so I used charm methods, hoping to create an opportunity to strike first, and then eliminate Kamiya, who was obviously the leader.
Unfortunately, her calculation was wrong.
Kamiyagawa, who had always been clear-headed, drew his sword, Iai, and cut down the whirling white umbrella.
At the same time, Inugami roared and jumped out.
The rain girl on the bed let out a subtle groan, quickly pulled away from the dead body, and transformed into a large puddle of flowing rainwater, falling to the ground.
She blended with the water on the floor and seemed to disappear.
"Mary!"
Kamiya calls upon his strongest shikigami.
Bloody red mist surged out in response to his call, and a red and black dress swayed out.
The red mist seemed to be boiling, whistling and making noise, filling the entire room.
The corrosive rain falling all around was completely driven away by the mist.
The water on the floor was also quickly drained.
Rain Girl's field ability was completely suppressed, and this became Mary's home court.
When the water vapor dissipates, the rain girl has no way to hide.
Her figure, with only a piece of clothing covering her body, was revealed in the separate toilet in the theme room.
Yunu seemed to be trying to escape directly through the sewer pipes.
It's a pity that the chess move was one step away.
"Behind you."
Mary's heavy and bloody machete was raised and swung down cleanly.
This knife cut extremely hard.
Mary probably didn't like seeing this charming rain girl.
With the help of his colleagues, Inugami found his target again, smashed open the toilet wall, opened his big mouth and bit into the enemy.
A D-level, at most a quasi-C-level Kaidan, faced with the attack from Mari and Inugami, there was really no chance of surviving.
Ding bell——ding bell——
The golden ball bell shook again, and the [Candlemaker Monk's Blood Pump] flew out whistling.
The progress of "Hakumonogatari" will be increased by one.
…
He simply defeated the rain girl who had murderous intentions towards him.
Kamiyagawa collected the spoils of this battle——
The basic harvest is 368 soul crystals, one D-level ghost crystal.
In addition, I also got a relic left by the Rain Girl.
It was the white origami umbrella with cyan strands that she summoned before.
[Get the rain girl umbrella! ]
[Rain Girl Umbrella (Rare Material): A prop used by Rain Girl to pray for rain. By controlling the green thread hanging from the edge of the umbrella, you can additionally summon extremely corrosive acidic water. ]
[Queens with similar characteristics, if you can absorb this rain girl umbrella for your own use, your strength can be improved. ]
"The material that can be absorbed is actually a strange relic."
As luck would have it, this thing seems to come in handy.
In Kamiya's Shikigami Kaidan, there is a petite figure-sized Hiyoribo.
Currently, it has been used as a home-type Kaitan to heat and dehumidify the home.
Not to mention, the effect is very good.
Thanks to her, the house has been warm and extremely comfortable since winter.
When Kamiyagawa first saw Hiyoribo, he had an idea——
Since the little figurine girl has the ability to pray for sunshine, she may be able to accept the relics of strange stories about praying for rain and master the ability to rain in the same weather direction.
To this end, Kamiya also used Uncle Yuki to find out whether there were any similar kaidan relics in the official inventory.
There is indeed such a thing in the official warehouse. It is a material called [Rainfall Little Monk's Hat].
Kamitani had already thought of replacing this material.
However, now that I have the [Rain Girl Umbrella], it takes no effort to get it.
There is no need to exchange for the same type of [Rain-falling Little Monk’s Hat].
I don’t want to owe Uncle Yuuki any more favors, even though I already owe a lot of favors at the moment...
"Little Taiyang has always been obedient at home and respects me very much. It would be great to train her up so that she can be used as a pendant for me to pray for rain and strengthen the thunder."
"However, she doesn't even have a rating now. [Ame Umbrella] is a rare relic produced by D-level monsters. No matter what, it has to wait until she reaches F-level before it can be accommodated, right? It seems that a certain amount of investment must be invested in her. resources.”
Kamiyakawa put away the [Ame Girl Umbrella].
After that, he sent the shikigami back to the shikigami statue and inspected it alone in the room.
Because Yu Nu has been discharged, although the "torture chamber" is still damp, there is no corrosive water vapor left.
"That man just now..."
Kamiyagawa walked to the rotten and moldy big bed in the room.
The man who had just made love with Yunu had disappeared, leaving only a large puddle of slimy green moss on the damp and smelly bedding, emitting a foul odor.
"He doesn't seem to be a ghost. He has no evil aura at all, and no soul crystals were produced after death. But he shouldn't be considered alive. I can't feel any anger in him."
That man, let’s call him a man for now.
The feeling given to Kamiya is neither human nor strange. If I have to say it, it is actually a bit similar to the human beings encountered in Aokigahara.
"But he is obviously not a deformed and aggressive monster...then what exactly is he, and why does he appear here?"
"Could the pen marks I saw on the wall be written by him? Are there other things similar to this man in the Live Fish Hotel?"
Kamiyakawa felt confused, but currently there were no answers to these questions, so he could only pay attention to them silently in his heart.
It seemed that there were some things he didn't understand hidden in the already weird Living Fish Hotel.
After treating Yunu, Kamiyagawa let the little old man rest and wandered around the Living Fish Hotel alone for nearly half an hour.
There was nothing else to gain this time.
The carpet feels slightly damp under your feet, and the mottled burgundy wallpaper makes you feel paranoid when you look around for a long time.
And the fluorescent lights overhead that flickered and hummed steadily.
Everywhere in the hotel looks the same.
Staying here for too long seems to make you physically and mentally uncomfortable.
"That's it for today."
Feeling tired, Kamiyagawa took out the [Takamagahara Divine Plate], lit it up and left this strange map.
Anyway, the "Kaitan Hundred Monogatari" mission allows you to exit midway.
Go back to reality and rest for a while, make sure you are in good condition, and then continue to attack this place tomorrow.
…
real world.
My home in Arakawa.
Kamiyakawa returned to consciousness and woke up on the big bed in the master bedroom.
His expression was a little dazed, and it seemed that he could still hear the sudden and loud "buzzing" sound from the fluorescent lights in his ears.
After resting for a while, he returned to normal.
"Now it seems that there are no monsters in the picture of the Living Fish Hotel. All elite monsters are active. And according to the mission prompts, there should be quite a lot of ghost stories in it." Kamiya held his forehead and reviewed the exploration just now. Process, "This is good. Although you can't farm monsters and harvest soul crystals in large quantities like in Aokigahara, the possibility of producing useful prop materials has become higher."
For example, the [Rain Girl Umbrella] I just got.
Kamiyagawa appeared from the master bedroom and planned to go downstairs to find Hiyoribo.
When passing by the study, he paused and knocked on the door.
"Enter."
Xiaowu's voice sounded.
After pushing the door open, you can see Loli Kaitan, a white-haired twin-tailed girl, squatting on a chair, playing with the computer equipment that was newly delivered to her home.
Red crayon Ayaori is staying with her.
"Let's debut! Wu-chan!" The plan is currently being implemented.
Kamiyagawa customized a set of "Miss Mary" leather cases online for 160,000 yen.
The leather case is not ready yet.
However, some of the equipment used for the live broadcast has been delivered to my home through online shopping today.
Satoru seems to be quite interested in the live broadcast, and is currently studying the equipment and getting a preliminary understanding of the live broadcast process.
"It's very caring." Kamiya teased.
"Of course, I always care about what I decide to do!" Satoru turned around, the expression in his pink eyes changed, "Also, are you sure about it, right? The live broadcast to help Mary earn faith, if it goes wrong If so, you have other options."
"Um."
"Hmph~ Then wait and see me show off my skills in the live broadcast world!"
Satoru continued to squat on the chair, waved his fist, and shook the ponytail on his head proudly.
Stupid human beings, get ready to cry and wail in pain under Satoru-chan's control!
The colorful fabric on the edge extends out of messy red lines, forming the shape of a childish palm, which claps in harmony.
"Haha, come on."
Kamitani turned around and closed the door and left.
Of course he knew what Satoru was planning in his heart.
Ever since he agreed that he could have a bad mouth during the live broadcast, this guy became totally excited.
"It's just that, Satoru, you may have underestimated the extent of human perversion."
…
The first floor of the home.
Members of the hearse group seemed to be watching TV in the living room.
You can hear the comedian's voice.
When they got here, Zashiki and the other three shikigami except Mari appeared from Kamiya and headed towards the kitchen or living room.
They are all in good condition now, and it is inevitable that they will be bored when they stay in a shikigami statue or a spiritual artifact.
In real life, I prefer to move around freely at home.
Of course Kamiyagawa will not stop the activities of the Shikigami Kaidan.
Their more leisurely behavior at home can make an originally empty house feel more like a home.
"Prajna, help me make a cup of tea by the way, thank you."
"Tsk."
Hannya, who was walking towards the kitchen, turned back impatiently.
But not long after she walked into the kitchen, she heard the sound of boiling water coming from inside.
"Yeah~"
Zashiki walked around his old father Yiyi for a while, then trotted to the kitchen.
Looking at her like that, she probably went to ask for hot milk to drink or red beans and rice.
After searching around the house, Kamiyagawa finally found Hiyoribo in the basement.
Little Taiyang and Guchang are both here.
Hiyoribo is dehumidifying the basement, and Kuchi is doing the final cleaning.
Kamiyagawa had said before that the basement would also be used in the future. These two new members of Guitaan are quite interested in this.
I will come down and tidy up when I have free time.
The environment in the basement is now very good, dry and clean.
"Lord Kamiya!" Hiyoribo saw the master of the family coming down and raised his hand to wipe his forehead. With a simple smile and a soft voice, he said, "Guchang and I have almost finished cleaning up this place!"
"Well, you did a good job. Thank you for your hard work." Kamiya knelt down beside them, took out the [Mirage Bag], took out a requiem candle and stuffed it into Hiyoribo's arms, "There are some things to do later. What I want you to do is to pray for rain as mentioned before. But before that, I have to strengthen your strength and give you some candles."
"Well……"
Hiyoribo held the requiem candle, which was half taller than himself, and swayed for a while before he stabilized his body.
Then, he carefully poked out half of his small face from behind the candle, with a somewhat frightened and nervous expression: "This candle is what seniors and others usually use...can I really do it..."
"Okay, I'm very optimistic about you."
Kamiyakawa smiled tenderly at the little figure girl.
"Then I will definitely work harder, Lord Kamiya!"
Hiyoribo was encouraged and worked hard to show off his energy.
"very good."
Kamiya looked at the eager-looking big rat next to him, handed over a requiem candle as well, and started to draw the cake at the same time:
"Kuchang, you have also worked very hard. From today on, I will also give you candles. It's just that I haven't found a strange relic that suits you yet, but there should be one in the future."
"Squeak!"
Ji tasted a piece of "big cake" and happily took away the requiem candle.
After that, he waved the scarf in his hand even harder.
