Kamiyagawa dealt with several more hundred-person dreams in the Kanto region.
The dream-eating tapir has been resting for the past two days.
Therefore, Kamiya did not participate in the spirit removal activities today.
He made an appointment to meet the little miko who came back from Nagasaki, mainly because he wanted to spend some time with Onizuka who had just returned from the dreamland of thousands of people.
In the afternoon, the two went to Yokohama Chinatown together.
Yokohama Chinatown is the largest Chinatown in Japan and even Asia. Together with Kobe Nankinmachi and Nagasaki Shinchi Chinatown, it is also known as Japan's three major Chinatowns.
As soon as you get off the JR Ishikawacho Station, you will feel the charm of Chinatown.
When you come here, you don’t need pictures or road signs. You can naturally find Chinatown just by following the guidance of those exquisite and beautiful cheongsam shops and the majestic archways.
"Cheongsam, isn't it beautiful?"
Kamiya and Onizuka stopped on the roadside, pointed at the window of a cheongsam shop, and said excitedly.
"Uh-huh."
"The red one in the window suits your look very well, Onizuka. The cheongsam is one of the garments that best showcases women's oriental beauty."
"Hmm..." Onizuka followed Kamiya's fingers and looked at the red cheongsam carefully. Finally, his eyes fell on the high-slit skirt. "Kamiya, do you want me to wear this? Sexy?"
"No."
"Did you just think about how I look in a cheongsam?"
"Ahem... let's go. I heard there are a lot of delicious food in Chinatown."
Yokohama Chinatown is known as the "Chinese Restaurant Street". There are about a hundred Chinese restaurants here. The restaurants are divided into Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shanghai and Sichuan cuisines, each maintaining the original flavor of the cuisine. Guangdong restaurants account for about half, as well as Jiangsu, Sichuan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and other restaurants.
Although the little miko grew up in Kanagawa, this seems to be her first time visiting Chinatown.
It’s around the time of the Chinese New Year, and China Street is very lively.
This is why Kamiya chose to visit Chinatown.
With red couplets, red lanterns, and the cheerful sound of gongs, drums, and firecrackers, multiple lion dance teams walked through the streets to congratulate the New Year. The Guandi Temple and Mazu Temple in Chinatown were in full bloom.
Kamiyagawa felt so at home here that he even took the opportunity to show off his fluent Chinese while buying snacks.
The little miko was surprised: "Kamigu, do you speak Chinese?"
"Hmph~ I taught myself before."
"That's awesome, teach me?"
"No problem."
After some shopping, Onizuka was very interested in the Cantonese food in Chinatown.
Especially the Cantonese barbecued pork buns.
In front of Kamiya, he ate two of them in one breath like a hamster eating.
The two spent a very nice afternoon in Chinatown.
When Onizuka first came out, he was actually a little depressed, probably because of what happened in Ten Thousand People's Dreams. But after being played with Kamiya for a while, he became more energetic.
It was already dusk when they left Chinatown.
Each held some snacks and souvenirs in their hands.
"Looking for a place to have dinner?" Kamiya asked Onizuka.
"I...I just ate too much. You obviously ate a lot too. Do boys digest it so quickly?"
"It will be faster. Is there anywhere else you want to go?"
Onizuka held the paper bag containing the candied haws, thought for a moment, and nodded: "There is somewhere I want to go and something I want to do. Will you go with me?"
"Walk."
"Don't you even ask where you are going?"
"You can go anywhere."
"Then come with me to buy some things, and then we'll go see my parents together."
"oh……"
Kamitani didn't expect Onizuka to propose this, but he nodded quickly.
After experiencing what thousands of people have experienced in their dreams, it is understandable that the little witch wants to worship her parents.
…
The ghost car drove to the foot of the Juqiong Shrine.
"Let's go, the cemetery is not too far from the shrine." The little miko raised her hand and pulled Kamiya's sleeve.
After the two got out of the car, Oishi Junma first gave the boss a look of affirmation, and then took Sister Ohara for a walk nearby.
It is still the end of January, the end of winter, and the weather is a little cold.
The two walked on the road under the shrine mountain for a while, and then, led by Onizuka, they turned into a roadside path.
There are rime mountains and forests on both sides of the road, and the air is a little humid.
After walking forward for a while, Kamiyakawa saw a small cemetery.
In Japan, matters of death and life are generally taken care of by Buddhism, and cemeteries are often located near temples. Although this small cemetery is not next to the temple, you can see small stone statues of Jizo standing beside some tombstones.
Onizuka skillfully led Kamiya to two side-by-side tombstones.
These two tombs are relatively clean. They should have been cleaned every year. Some of the neglected tombstones around them are already covered with moss.
There is a black and white photo on each of the two tombstones.
The woman in the photo has beautiful black hair and a bright smile. The man is a little more serious, with a heroic look between his brows.
I have to say that Onizuka’s parents are very good-looking.
But it’s normal to think about it.
After all, she gave birth to a daughter who grew up to look like Onizuka.
The little witch placed the fruits and flowers she had just bought near Chinatown in front of her parents' tomb, clasped her hands together, and bowed with her eyes closed.
"Dad, Mom, I'm here to see you. This time I'm with..." she said, paused, as if she was thinking about something, and then continued, "I came with a very important friend. .”
After saying that, she turned to look at Kamiyakawa: "Say hello to my father and mother? They don't know you."
Kamiya nodded, clasped his hands together, and bowed in front of the two tombstones: "Hello, uncle and auntie, my name is Kamiya Chuan."
The two of them cleared some weeds beside the tombstone and talked at the same time.
Most of the time, Onitsuka was talking and Kamiya was listening.
Onizuka: "When I was a child, my mother-in-law would take me here to visit my grave, and occasionally my rich sister would accompany me. Later, when I grew older, I would come here by myself. The cemetery is not far from the shrine. When I was unhappy, I would come here by myself. I’ll come here and talk to my parents.”
"Um."
Kamiya nodded.
At the same time, the little Onizuka, who unconsciously imagined that he still looked like a child, was sitting alone on the steps of the cemetery, telling the two tombs about his growing pains and grievances.
It's a bit distressing.
I had never thought before that the optimistic little miko would have such a side.
"Actually, I have never met my father, and my impression of my mother's words has become very vague. But you know, sometimes when I sit here, I feel guilty about them."
"Onitsuka..."
"It's okay, I'm not that fragile." Onizuka waved his hand, "After experiencing thousands of people's dreams, I seem to have become more transparent, especially the moment you saved me in the alley of the dream. , I feel... I don’t know how to put it, Kamiya, do you know about desensitization therapy? This is probably what it feels like. And, feeling guilty is not necessarily a bad thing."
After all, Onizuka is a strong and arrogant girl.
"Yes." Kamiya pulled out another weed, suddenly raised his head, and looked at the two black and white photos on the tombstone seriously, "Uncle, aunt, I will definitely take good care of Onizuka, don't worry."
"Well……"
The little miko's ears turned red, and she raised her hand to punch Kamiya.
This punch seemed to be very fast, but in fact it was just a light punch on Kamiya's shoulder and a slight push.
"Suddenly say some nonsense in front of my parents, they will take it seriously!"
"It was meant to be serious."
"Then if you can't do it, they will be angry? Then they will teach you a lesson for me at night."
After cleaning the tombstones, the two of them walked out of the cemetery together.
No ghost car was seen on the deserted road outside.
I don’t know where Oishi took Ohara.
However, it is not far from the shrine approach, so it might be better for two people to walk there together.
It's getting dark.
The two walked side by side for a while, and Onizuka suddenly spoke: "Kamiya, are you afraid of death?"
"Why do you ask that? It depends on the situation. Sometimes you are not afraid, and sometimes you are."
"What a strange answer."
"But it is what it is."
"Tell you a secret in our shrine. My words -" the little witch stopped, her long black hair bathed in the dim light of the street lights, "I was not afraid of my words before. Because I have a chance to be resurrected."
"What?"
Kamiya was stunned.
What the little witch said was somewhat shocking.
How to revive? Do you want to watch ads?
Or are you also a reserve member of the co-host of ghosts and gods?
"Actually, it's not a resurrection, it's a divine descent." Onizuka's tone became more serious, and he didn't look like he was lying. "A divine descent can solidify the soul and bring life and death. Of course, there is only one chance. .”
"I don't quite understand, what is divine descent?"
"It's similar to Kaitan's flesh-spirit descending. It uses itself as a container to provide offerings to the gods."
"The god in Juqiong Shrine?"
"Well, you know, Tianyu is a slave to the Lord. He uses his body as a container to worship that Lord's eyes."
"Eyes?"
Kamiyagawa understood.
He thought of Granny Gu's situation.
According to what Onizuka just said, Granny Gu may be a descendant of the gods herself?
The eyes of the gods are enshrined in the body... The old priest's real strength should be far more powerful than imagined.
However, Onizuka also said that Granny Gu is old, so her control over the power of the gods may have weakened.
"This matter is considered the top secret of Juqiong Shrine. Not many people in the countermeasures room know about it."
"Does it really matter if you tell me this kind of secret?"
"It doesn't matter, my mother-in-law agreed...I should have told you in the first place, I think I should tell you." Onizuka continued, "The current kami is my mother-in-law, and the next one will be me. My mother-in-law is older. , it is no longer easy to use that power. And the reason why I am the divine son of the shrine and the next heir is because I have a high degree of compatibility with the eyes of Lord Tianyu."
"Is there a price to pay for becoming a Goddess?"
"Yes. I am blind like my mother-in-law, but because my perception will be greatly improved, it will not affect my daily life at all. I have another, stronger ability to 'see' the world. Or is it a god? You have to be a virgin to surrender, always."
"ah……"
"You seem to have some regrets?" Onizuka turned his head, put his hands behind his back, and gave Kamiya a sly smile.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Kamiya looked away.
"You must be a virgin to be a virgin, but my mother-in-law has no absolute restrictions on my love. She said that it would be too pitiful for a girl to lose the right to love and be loved in her life. So, as long as I don't do that last step That’s fine. But only if I fall in love before I become a god."
The topic Onizuka suddenly started was a bit bold in content.
But to be able to say this, she probably mustered up a lot of courage.
"I thought of something." Kamiyakawa suddenly thought of something.
"Um?"
"It was in front of the Great Nuo Formation when you defeated the Plague God. Could it be that at that time, you were actually ready to sacrifice and become a god?"
Kamiya thought about the operation against the breeders.
According to the images Satoru saw in the "future vision", if Kamiyagawa failed to bring the [Ungai Mirror] to the battle and delayed the breeder and the plague god, then the little miko would most likely choose to sacrifice herself to complete the Nuo formation.
In Satori's future vision, all he sees are fragmented images, which has certain limitations.
Now it seems that things are not as originally speculated.
Onizuka would not truly die in that battle.
"I had that idea to some extent, especially when a large group of seed ghosts and B-level plague gods rushed over. No one could stop it, so it had to be me. So I was very surprised at that time. , Shen Gu, you can actually block so many ferocious enemies from the Nuo Formation by yourself."
"That's it..."
Onizuka walked forward and turned his back to Kamiya: "It was at that time that I realized that becoming a god was not far away from me at all. I always thought that there would be a lot of time. At that time, I thought, Before you become a god, you should have a relationship that can leave lifelong memories, otherwise you will be at a huge loss. Girls will always think about this."
Only her back under the light can be seen, but her expression cannot be seen.
Kamiya suddenly thought of what Onizuka said when he woke up in the hospital after the breeder battle and stood by the window sill: "Kamiya River, let's go on a date."
I thought of the gorgeous fireworks on the Yokohama beach.
Understood.
It turns out everything is excusable.
Onizuka wanted to leave some good memories for himself before becoming a god.
But if you think about it this way, why do you feel like you are being used as a tool to create memories?
Kamiya, who was somewhat unwilling to accept it, asked: "Then the person you want to be in love with..."
"It better be you."
Onizuka in front stopped and stood under a dim streetlight without looking back.
The black hair on her shoulders swayed slightly.
But her voice when she said this was so low that Kamiya couldn't hear her clearly.
"What did you say?"
Four or five meters ahead, under the bright and dark street lights, Onizuka took a deep breath.
She turned her head, her face turned crimson in the dim yellow light. Those beautiful almond eyes stared straight at Kamiya River without any dodge, brave and stubborn.
"I said, it can only be you. Because, there is one thing that is undeniable -"
Some cold wind blew from the direction of the mountain forest, causing the shadows of the trees to sway and rustle.
The girl's voice echoed clearly in my ears.
"Kamiyagawa, I like you."
