Lazy Sunday, Saturday.
The Kamiya family's living room.
As the head of the family, Kamiyagawa was sitting at the table, flipping through a book called "The Story of the Past", which records Japanese mythology.
Ever since Uncle Yue Cheng agreed to be admitted to a prestigious university, his academic pressure has basically disappeared.
And anyway, I will major in monster studies in college, so reading some mythological classics now can be regarded as studying in advance.
Mary sat quietly next to him, looking at his side face in a daze.
After a while, Hannya walked in with Zashiki, holding a lamp holder in his hand.
Neither of them made a sound to disturb Kamiyagawa.
Zashiki obediently sat on the other side of his old father, lowering his head and smoothing his red and white kimono.
Hannya knelt down and sat on the opposite side of the table, and moved a cup of freshly brewed coffee from the cup holder to Kamiya's hand, then brought hot milk to the seat, and finally placed a cup of tea in front of him.
As for Mary, Mary wasn't much of a drinker.
There is no need for this.
The four of them stayed calmly and leisurely for a while.
A strange family of four atmosphere.
The thick glass sliding door of the living room was closed, but the floor-to-ceiling curtains were not drawn, so the scene outside could be clearly seen.
Outside the door is the aisle of the small courtyard, and the members of the hearse group are moving in the garden.
The five people in the hearse group could only come up with two and a half brains in total, so everything they did was led by the ghost couple Oishi Junma and Takayama Mayi.
The two of them are now helping the boss clean up the abandoned yard.
Obara and the Mikami brothers had been fighting for a long time.
When spring comes next year, the small courtyard should be able to be used.
The Kamiya family could plant some flowers in the garden, or simply plant a cherry blossom tree.
In the corridor of the courtyard, Takayama Mai was busy walking back and forth.
The new deified whale dragged its big tail and followed her closely.
"Mother?"
"Call me sister, little whale." Gao Shan corrected him.
"Okay, Mom."
"It's sister." Gao Shan stopped, squatted down and rubbed Hua Jing's head, and continued to correct him gently.
"Well……"
Yesterday at the welcome party, Hua Whale was frightened by the appearance of a prajna evil ghost and dropped her little pearl.
After that, this child from the ocean was no longer willing to approach Prajna.
He was probably really frightened and had a psychological shadow, so when he saw Prajna, he would swing his tail and run away as if to escape.
All day today, the little whale followed Mai Takayama.
Obviously, he changed himself to a "mother".
There had been a trial and error, and his choice this time was undoubtedly the right one.
The female gods and monsters under Kamiya——
Because of Mary's cold personality and appearance, coupled with her B-level strength, the little whale has a natural fear of her.
In Prajna's words, after yesterday's "bad" incident, Little Whale has already blacklisted her in his mind. He is more afraid of seeing her than Mary and avoids her.
The rest except the child who is about the same age as the whale. There are only Hayao Obara, who is cute but always confused, and Maki Takayama, who is so normal that he looks like an alien.
Do you even have to think about who to choose?
Moreover, after observing and confirming the boss's attitude, the shrewd Gao Shan and Dashi were happy to take the time to take care of the whale.
As for Kamiya’s attitude…
Of course he doesn't care about this kind of thing, and is even happy to see it happen.
The whale can be close to anyone it wants, as long as it can find a sense of belonging within itself.
Moreover, there are five members of the hearse team, and their daily workload is to act as drivers for Kamiya.
It's a bit wasteful.
Adding a child-rearing job to Gao Shan can be regarded as making full use of the talent resources under his command.
"well."
Prajna gently put down the plain tea cup in his hand, looked out the glass door, and sighed quietly.
Didn’t the kids all choose me yesterday?
Why are you still regretting it?
Kamiyakawa, who was flipping through the book, heard a sigh and raised his eyes slightly. He knew exactly what Hannya was thinking: "You scared him like that yesterday. Is it strange that he is still willing to get close to you? The first impression in interpersonal communication is very important. "
"Tsk."
Prajna was obviously not convinced.
He tapped the table with his slender fingertips, and then looked at Zashiki who was licking the milk from the cup.
After little Zashiki was scared before, she was still willing to get close to me!
"When Zashiki first came here, you and I were the only ones in the house. She had no choice..." Kamiya shrugged, "So, please change your bad character of scaring children into tears."
"Well……"
Prajna became upset.
But it is impossible to change, not even in this life.
What's the point of being close to children if you can't make them cry?
Thinking about it this way, it's better to have a small seat.
However, it doesn't seem to matter now. Even if the kid Huajing only sticks to Miss Gao Shan from now on, I still have the opportunity to tease him for fun.
Miss Gao Shan can't protect him.
Jie Jie.
Kamiyakawa looked at the change in Hannya's expression and shook his head helplessly: "I don't think you can get close to Hua Jing in this life. Fu Bao was just an accident."
"ah?"
Zashiki Warashi put down the empty cup in his hand, licked the milk on the corner of his mouth with the tip of his small pink tongue, then looked at Kamiya and then at Hannya in confusion.
How did my old father and my little Prajna mother manage to achieve strange and smooth barrier-free communication with just their eyes and expressions like they do now?
When I talk to Kamiya’s father, I usually make babbling gestures for a long time!
"It's almost time to rest." At this time, Kamiyagawa checked the time on his phone and closed the "Stories of the Past and Past" in his hand. "After finishing the mental activities, let's go do some physical activities. Check in."
…
The world of strange stories.
Live Fish Hotel.
Hiramoto and Noboru opened their eyes in a corridor somewhere.
The damp carpet was stinking, and the mottled burgundy wallpaper was driving people crazy.
The lights overhead flashed and flickered, making a steady yet sudden buzzing noise.
Where is this place?
Why am I here?
His memory this time was that he and a few friends came to the Grand Hotel.
Then……
Then, where have your friends gone?
what happened?
I can't even remember it.
He only felt sincerely confused, and he also had a headache and constant ringing in his ears. The buzzing in his head and the background sound of the corridor lights were like a tangled ball of yarn that could not be sorted out.
"What exactly is going on."
Hiramoto and Noboru forced themselves to calm down.
He has always been a leader in his friend group, and everyone listens to him.
He had to calm down at this time.
Piramoto checked himself.
The clothes were intact, but there was no wallet, keys, or mobile phone in his pocket, only a black pen.
"This...uh, where did this come from?"
Hiramoto was even more confused.
He looked around, unsure whether he was still in the Grand Hotel.
The corridors of the hotel are somewhat similar to this one, but I have the impression that the Grand Hotel is a large hotel that was just built a few years ago, and the wallpaper is far less mottled.
"Gaoban, Utsumi? Are you there?"
Hiramoto tried to make a sound, but no one responded. There was only the buzzing sound of the lights in the corridor.
"Damn it."
Pingben had no other choice, so he decided to go along the corridor and take a look.
Five or six minutes later.
"What the hell is this place?"
Hiramoto and Noboru became slightly flustered.
Something is wrong.
This corridor is so weird, everything looks the same.
It's humid, the lights flicker on and off, and there's burgundy mottled wallpaper everywhere.
And after walking along the road for so long, he didn't even see a room door.
So what is the significance of the existence of this corridor?
He continued walking forward and stopped after passing another corridor corner.
Piramoto saw something unusual.
On the corner wall here, there is a line of words written in black ink: "Don't come near her."
And this handwriting looked very familiar to Hiramoto and Noboru. It couldn't be more familiar.
This is his own handwriting.
"I... have written here?" Pingben looked at the words on the wall in trance, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, "I have been here? When?"
Things got even weirder.
Hiramoto and Dengo's scalps were numb, and they were unwilling to stay in front of this line of words, so they walked forward quickly.
There must be a way out, there must be one.
After walking a few steps, he saw a figure in front of the corridor.
That's a woman.
Wearing a gorgeous black kimono with pink flowers, wooden geta on her feet, her hair neatly tied on top of her head, and a beautiful flower hairpin pinned on her head.
The woman's kimono was very loose, exposing a large area of fair skin on her shoulders, and she could see her shoulder blades and a little bit of her collarbone in front.
Ping Ben was confused and was about to step forward to check it out.
Suddenly I thought of the line of writing I just saw on the wall - "Don't come near her"
"Do you mean don't get close to this woman?"
Piramoto stopped.
Looking at the kimono woman in front, her behavior is indeed weird.
He was squatting in the corner, mechanically pushing the wall with one hand.
Click click click.
With a slight friction sound, some burgundy wallpaper fragments and white wall dust kept falling at the feet of the woman wearing white footbags and clogs.
Buzz.
The lights above the head flickered on and off, and the squatting figure of the kimono woman was sometimes blurred and sometimes clear under the changing lights.
Ping Ben became frightened and took two steps back.
Then he turned around and ran away.
So weird.
In this strange environment, who would go up and check it out?
After running backward along the original path for about a minute or two, he suddenly stopped.
Ahead, at the corner of the burgundy wallpaper, under the changing lights, he saw the figure of the kimono woman again.
Still squatting there with her back to him, she kept mechanically pushing the wall with one hand.
One moment, one moment...
"Why?"
Ping Ben froze on the spot.
He was obviously running backwards, there were no forks in the road at all.
Why is this strange woman here?
At this moment, he didn't know what to do.
"Don't be a fool!"
Hiramoto took a deep breath and shouted at the woman in front of him with a clearly changed tone.
When the kimono woman heard the sound, her hands moved faster on the wall.
Click, click, click.
A large piece of wall dust was pulled off by her.
At the same time, the woman squatted and slowly looked back in a strange and twisted posture.
Piramoto saw the other person's face clearly.
It was a smooth face with skin as white as snow, but no facial features could be seen on the face.
There is only one smooth face.
"Well!"
Hiramoto and Den were frightened, and their pupils dilated a bit.
At this time, I saw a gap opened at the lower end of the faceless woman's snow-white cheek, revealing teeth stained black by iron paste, and she smiled sweetly.
"Hahaha."
The woman jumped up from the ground with a smile and rushed towards Hiramoto and Noboru.
The woman, whose skin was as white as tofu but whose facial features were invisible, showed her blackened teeth and smiled. This scene was scary enough.
Not to mention that she is still sprinting towards him!
Perhaps stimulated by the instinct to survive, Hiramoto and Noboru turned around and ran, screaming as they ran.
"Help, monster! Monster!"
His heart was pounding, and the air smelled of moldy carpet kept filling his nose.
Perhaps Hiramoto's screams for help really had an effect. After running for a while, the woman behind him really didn't seem to catch up.
And in the corridor ahead, he saw a figure.
is a man.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." The man was trying to stop Hiramoto and Noboru.
I don't even know this man.
The other person was not one of his friends.
But at times like this, being able to see people is undoubtedly a good thing.
At least as long as you run past this man, you will be safer, right?
Ping Ben paid no attention to the man who suddenly appeared in front of him, and just wanted to run past him.
But the man stopped Ping Ben.
"What are you doing? Get out of the way!" Pingben yelled, "Behind, there is someone behind..."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute."
The man repeated himself, his voice dull.
He turned around and bent down with his back to Hiramoto.
The man's clothes suddenly fell off to the ground.
Pingben couldn't reach it and saw the opponent's raised buttocks.
I saw that the man's buttocks were connected into one body, and there was a huge eye in the middle!
The eyes were filled with red blood, and veins popped out near the pupils, staring at Hiramoto and Noboru!
"Wait a minute, wait a minute."
The strange man still bent over and said this.
The big eye behind him made a weird squirming sound and kept moving.
He got down on all fours and crawled towards Hiramoto twitching backwards in an almost spastic posture.
"Monster...monster! Get away!"
Ping was so frightened by the faceless black-toothed woman just now, and now he was suddenly looked at with a nasty look, and finally his legs gave way and he fell to the ground.
At this time, there was a loud "bang" in the corridor behind him.
Like a gunshot.
It was also mixed with a woman's shrill scream.
Before he could realize what was happening, he saw a figure in white leather clothing rushing forward with a long sword in his hand.
The man flew up and kicked the monster with its eyes wide open on its head, far away.
Immediately afterwards, another huge dog with a flaming body jumped out from behind him and bit the monster rolling on the ground.
The "man" in the white leather coat and the big black dog were in very strange states.
Their appearance is very vague, and as long as you look away from them, you have no idea what they look like.
"This thing looks disgusting. You should eat less, dog."
Wearing [Oni's Leather Clothes], Kamiyagawa stood next to Hiramoto, holding a knife and watching the Inugami bite the monster with a calm expression.
Then he took out his cell phone and clicked casually: "Toothed black girl, eyes. Hmm... They are all D-level monsters, and they don't have any decent output at all."
