By the time Kamiyagawa finished the follow-up to the Yumeno incident and cooperated with other spirit exterminators to clean up all the remaining Yumenan in the entire Kanto region, it was already early spring.
He went home to rest after a long absence.
There is no need to go to the Countermeasures Room anymore. The incident report has been submitted. All you have to do is wait for the organization to issue salary and contribution points.
This morning, Kamiya got up very early and sat alone in the living room.
The glass door from the living room to the small courtyard was ajar.
A soft drizzle was falling outside. The wind chimes under the eaves swayed in the wind, making a crisp clanking sound. The rain slowly dripped along the lanyard.
Kamiya sat cross-legged, staring at the rainy scene in the courtyard in a daze.
"By the way, has the relationship between Mary and Hannya softened a lot recently? Is it because of what happened to Onizuka last time?"
In this rare morning of peace and quiet, Kamiyagawa took the time to examine his heart and face his true thoughts.
"Mari, Hannya, Onizuka, to tell the truth, I have a crush on all three of them, and I don't want to give up on any of them... How could this happen?"
Kamiyagawa reviewed his experience in the past year——
Mary is the first powerful foreign visitor she has ever met.
She is also the first Kaitan to express her love directly to herself, even though her "love" is very twisted.
But relying on this, Kamiyagawa, who was independent at the time, was able to defeat Hanako, save his life during the Novice Village period, and turn the corner.
And Prajna is the first shikigami of Kamiyagawa.
It was the first powerful help and the first strange story to accompany me in life.
After having Prajna, Kamiyagawa's strategy for the otherworld was finally on the right track.
As for Onizuka.
The little miko was the first spiritual slayer that Kamiyagawa really knew.
Moreover, the earliest knowledge of Kamiya’s ghost stories came from Onizuka’s detailed explanations on the Internet.
It can be said that my good impressions of the three of them all arose when they first came to this world and had no friends.
When life got better later, Kamiyagawa no longer had similar feelings for the opposite-sex humans or weird stories he met.
"I seem to understand... When I first came to this world and was lonely and helpless, I wanted to be friends with whoever was nice to me and who was beautiful... Am I so superficial? Damn it. But, I should There will be people who have feelings for two or even three people of the opposite sex at the same time, right? But they won’t be greedy like me and want them all..."
Thinking that the relationship between Mary and Prajna has eased slightly.
Kamiyagawa felt that the two of them were not necessarily unable to get along.
Shikigami and Onmyoji are interdependent on each other, and their relationship is inherently delicate.
Moreover, Kaidan is not a human being, so even if he does develop a close relationship with Onmyoji, he will not be condemned in the profession of spiritual slayers.
For example, Mr. Shengwei, who is known as the legendary master of Hehuanshu, maintained contact with the seven shikigami during his peak period, and even became a legend.
"But Onizuka is a human being, so it should be difficult for her to accept the idea that I want now."
"Should I also find a suitable time to confess to her?"
Kamiyakawa was in distress.
At this time, the sliding door of the living room in the corridor was gently opened, and the young apprentice Lu Yewu poked his head outside: "Master, what are you doing?"
"repent."
"ah?"
"...enjoy the rain."
"Oh, it looks so sentimental." Xiaolu walked into the living room, knelt down next to Kamiya, and looked towards the yard outside, "But the rain has drifted into the house? Is it okay?"
"Well."
Kamiya sighed and stood up, closing the glass door leading to the courtyard.
"Master." Xiaolu shook his head.
"what?"
"I plan to go back to Ouri Island in the next two days, right?"
"Well... Actually, you should have gone back a long time ago, right? Didn't the junior high school end the winter vacation and start school last month?" Kamiya asked.
"Some time ago, Mr. Kanazawa said that it is best not to interrupt your recent spell practice, so I asked for leave."
"It doesn't matter if you take a month?"
"Of course it has something to do with it. But after the winter vacation, I only went to school for about a month, and now it's spring break. I will make up for all the missed homework during the spring break, and then strive to I will be admitted to the high school in Tokyo this year." Xiaolu sat on his knees and bowed to Kamiya River in a polite manner, "Master, please take care of me when the time comes!"
"Huh?" Kamiya frowned, "You're not going to live with me after you go to high school, are you?"
"No, what else?" Lu Yewu blinked, as if he had realized something, and hurriedly expressed his stance, "Oh! I will take good care of Master's daily life, and I will never live in vain! Master Bashiku has taught me these things. "
Kamiyagawa:……
Is this child lacking any strength...
I have enough trouble here.
"Why do I need you to take care of my daily life? Rent a house for me or live in the school building! You will be a big girl after high school. How can you live here with me all the time? Besides, what serious things can the eight-foot girl teach you? , please forget about it."
"But Master, I am your disciple, and I want to respect you as my father. Shouldn't we live together?"
It may be that the eight-foot girl instilled some strange thoughts into Xiaolu, and the child took these words for granted.
"I've never admitted that."
"That's too much!" Luyewu seemed to have been hit hard, "Master, don't you want me to support you until the end of your life?"
Kamiya:?
Traitor!
Do you want to hear what treasonous things you are saying?
"You're only a few years younger than me, and I'm not old enough to ask you to die."
"But, Master..."
"Okay, okay, let's wait until you actually get admitted to a high school in Tokyo. You have to work hard."
"oh oh!"
The little deer stopped making noise and nodded contentedly.
Kamiya doesn't quite understand why Yukino is so obsessed with becoming a disciple. Maybe he was deceived by the eight-foot girl?
However, in Japan, the disciples who enter the family are indeed different from ordinary disciples. They belong to the direct line. They are the close and personal disciples of the master, which is extraordinary.
Is it to pursue this?
But I think I didn’t teach you anything.
Maybe the eight-foot girl wants to live here through Xiaolu's relationship...
Well, this is very likely.
Kamiyagawa thought to himself, at worst, when Xiaolu is admitted to a high school in Tokyo, he will contact Mr. Kanoya who is far away on Oguri Island.
Xiaolu's father would definitely not agree with his grown-up daughter living in a young man's home for a long time.
Lu Yewu calmed down and sat quietly with his master watching the drizzle outside the glass door. After a while, he spoke again: "Master."
"Um?"
"My training at Honganji Temple went very smoothly. Teacher Kanazawa even praised me."
Xiaolu is an innate spiritual fetus and has a unique advantage in learning basic spells.
Therefore, the very basic Buddhist mantra practice went very smoothly.
Kamiyagawa had also learned about this from Master Kanazawa as a "parent" before.
"Great job."
"Hehe." The little apprentice had a restless character and quickly started talking about something else, "Master, today is Women's Day. When you didn't come back two days ago, my father sent me the dolls from last year's holiday at home. Come on, are you going to celebrate the festival for Zashiki, Xiaowu, and Ayori?"
"Daughter's Day? It seems like it's March 3rd, but I didn't notice it before."
"Master, you are the head of the family. If you don't pay attention to these things, the little sister who talks about weird things in the family will be sad, right?"
"Um……"
Kamiya thought for a while and felt that what the young apprentice said seemed to make sense.
On March 3rd, after dealing with Mengnan's matter, it was already this time before I knew it.
Hinamatsuri, also known as Doll Festival, Hina Festival, Peach Blossom Festival, and Shangji Festival, is one of the five major Japanese folk festivals.
The Shangji Festival originated on March 3rd in China.
This festival has declined in China, but it has developed well in Japan. Influenced by the customs of "sending boats to send off bad luck" and "winding water drinking glasses" on the Shangji Festival in China, some areas in Japan still retain the customs of various festivals on Doll's Day. It is a custom to float human-shaped dolls along the river to pray for peace.
Every Doll's Day, Japanese families with girls at home will place exquisitely crafted and gorgeous palace costume dolls in front of the hall, also to wish the girls in the family healthy growth, safety and happiness.
There are many little girls in Kamiya's family.
I have just finished my work these two days and have some free time, so I can organize a holiday for Zashiki and the others.
After celebrating Women’s Day, it’s time to relax and dive into the next step in the strategy for the other world.
"Yukino, come with me out."
"Where to go?"
"Buy a few sets of dolls and some peach blossoms to decorate your home."
"Great!"
Probably because his suggestion was adopted by his master, and it was rare to spend the holidays with Kamiyagawa, who had never been home often, Xiao Lu seemed very excited.
…
afternoon.
At Kamiya’s house, all the Shikigami Kaidans show up.
Hannya, Miss Takayama, and Sister Obara were in the kitchen, preparing five-color "Hina", a Japanese snack made of glutinous rice, soybeans, etc. As well as festive foods such as assorted sushi rice, cold rapeseed flowers, clam consommé and diamond-shaped rice cakes that are usually eaten on Hinamatsuri.
The rest of the people stayed in the living room, decorating their homes with fresh peach blossom branches and palace-style dolls.
The dolls are called Hina dolls, and they come in a set of 15. They are very particular.
There must be a pair of dolls of the main couple. In addition, there are usually three maid dolls and a five-piece band doll.
The main couple is usually in royal shape, symbolizing the emperor and the queen.
But this is not something Kamiyagawa’s family wants to do.
The ghost stories don't care either.
"I, the co-master of ghosts and gods, have not been enshrined to the top. Do you still want me to be offered to the royal family?"
Kamiya bought a total of five sets of Dolls' Day dolls, and the main ones were of couples in gorgeous clothes, symbolizing prominent families.
"Zashiki, this set is yours."
"Yeah~"
The little God of Fortune circled around his old father, took the Girl's Day doll and happily ran to the center of the living room to place it.
"Satoru, this set is for you."
"I'm not a little girl! You're a troublemaker!"
Satoru was reluctant at first.
But after Kamiyagawa stared at her with a smile for a few seconds, the guy immediately became interested, shrank his neck, quickly reached out and took away the dolls, and handled them gently.
"Hiyoribo, this is yours."
"Do we have some too?"
Little Sun stood on the table with the Sunny Baby on his back, feeling awkward, frightened and happy at the same time.
Wearing a goose-yellow dress and a bun, Hiyoribo has a slim figure and looks like a little girl of thirteen or fourteen. It's time to celebrate Women's Day.
"You are also a girl in the family." Kamiya gently poked Hiyoribo's warm and soft cheek with his finger.
"Wow! I'm going to lose my balance, Lord Kamiya!"
The dolls placed on the table are each about the same height as Hiyoribo.
They were placed all around her, allowing her to blend in.
"Cai Zhi, this set is for you."
[Thank you, Brother Kamiya! ]
The little crayon writes on the ground, stretches out a childish hand made of scrawled lines, and happily takes away the dolls.
Beside her, Gucheng kept holding up his handkerchief to defend himself.
After confirming that Caizhi and Lord Kamiya had communicated, he rushed out and quickly wiped away the dazzling red writing on the floor.
"Little Tapir, this set is for you, you are a girl too."
"Puff~"
The dream-eating tapir probably wasn't too interested in these dolls, but since they were given to them by their owners, they happily took them away with their little paws.
After all five sets of dolls were distributed, including the set sent to her by Xiaolu's father, there were a total of six sets of dolls placed in the living room.
Various dolls dressed in exquisite kimonos are placed on a stepped display stand, from top to bottom, decorated with bonsai of peach blossoms and cherry blossoms. Coupled with the activity of the "daughters" of the Kamiya family in the living room, the atmosphere was lively.
"It's a nice holiday."
With Kamiyakawa thinking like this, he left the living room to see how the preparations in the kitchen were progressing.
"Dad...well, brother."
At this time, the little whale followed out with small steps, dragging its fat tail, and carefully raised its hand to tug on Kamiya's sleeve.
The kid Huajing initially called his onmyoji daddy.
But considering that he liked to pester Gao Shan to call him mother, everyone in the family spent a lot of effort to forcefully correct his usual name.
Now he calls everyone brother and sister when he sees him, and he does the same when he sees Gaoshan.
"What, little whale?"
"Doll, it's mine, doesn't it...?"
The whale raised its head, its blue eyes showing a little grievance, looking like it was about to cry.
Obviously all the girls in the family have it, but he doesn't.
The little whale was sad.
"You are a boy, little whale. Boys don't have that." Kamiyagawa patted his head, "When it's Boys' Day in May, I'll hang a carp streamer for you."
"Carp streamer? Whale streamer...is that okay?"
"Sorry, there doesn't seem to be anything like that."
"Woo..."
Although Hua Jing is the only little boy in the family.
But I don’t know if it’s because he is a monster of the sea, but this child is completely made of water.
The girls in the family are much stronger than him.
As the head of the family, Kamiyagawa had never seen anything like this before. He comforted the little whale before he dropped the little pearl: "But as long as you are obedient, I can customize one for you."
That end of the corridor.
The eight-foot girl, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, happened to walk out of the large bedroom on the first floor with Xiaolu.
Seeing Kamiya and the little whale in the aisle, Master Hachiku stretched out a white tentacle, extended it, gently held the whale, and rubbed his cheek: "I have lived in Mr. Kamiya's house for so long, it seems like this is the first time. It’s so cute to see this kid.”
"Tsk, you shotacon, stay away from the whale."
Kamiyagawa quickly pulled the little whale behind him.
It's been a long time since I've seen the eight-foot girl, and I had a headache as soon as I met Kamiya.
It has to be said that the various adult forms of female ghosts that appear at home, with the exception of Takayama and Obara, each pose their own dangers to the whale.
The most dangerous among them is the eight-foot girl.
"Master Kamiya said that, I'm very sad." The eight-foot girl came closer, the small vermilion beauty mark under the corner of her mouth was charming, and her eyes were drawn, "I am devoted to you, and during the time when you were not home, I’ve been protecting my family well, isn’t there any reward for me? Mr. Kamiya?”
"...Stay away from me too."
The eight-foot girl retracted the soft tentacles with slippery mucous membranes under her skirt and moved closer to Kamiya. She could smell the mature woody fragrance from her body.
She bent down and reached Kamiya's ear, flipping her hair with one hand. Her posture was elegant and dignified, but her face was strangely red. She whispered softly in a voice that only Kamiya could hear:
"It's so heartless, but I really like the way you look at me coldly. It's very charming."
Kamiyagawa:……
Not good.
Does the eight-foot girl have any strange attributes?
Why does it feel like she gets excited when I say something to her in a nonchalant way?
