Two days after returning from Kamui.
The basement of Kamiya's house.
Little Sun Hiwabo is conducting a ceremony to advance from F to E level here.
After participating in Yumeno's handling of the incident, Kamiyagawa earned nearly 120,000 soul crystals.
Use these underworld currencies to purchase a large number of requiem candles from the candle-making monk, and then consume some bits and pieces from Sister Jue.
Even so, there are still about 100,000 soul crystals on hand.
The large batches of requiem candles that were acquired one after another were not only invested in the shikigami, but also flowed into other Kaitan under his command.
Because their family fortune suddenly became rich and their resources were sufficient, Kamiya's low-level monsters experienced another wave of renewal in strength.
In the original F-level Kaidan, Hiyoribo was promoted, and Satoru and Kuchan had almost had enough candles and were on the verge of promotion.
However, the latter two situations are different.
Satoru himself is an alienated body. Although his starting point is low, his growth ceiling is very high. There is no problem in advancing from F level to E level.
And Kuuchang seems to be stuck in F rank.
Although Mouse Mouse is a house-type monster and does not have much fighting power, he has always worked hard at home. He cleans the entire building and a series of housekeeping chores including washing clothes and bedding. .
When I lived in a low-rent apartment, Hannya did most of the housework. But after moving to Arakawa, Hannya was basically freed from housework and was only responsible for the kitchen.
To be able to achieve such a change, Jiang Cheng is indispensable.
Kamiya doesn’t really want to treat it badly.
After that, you have to take the time to find a suitable Kaitan relic for Kuuchang to ensure that it continues to advance.
There is also a seat.
Before Fu Bao was enshrined into Xishe as a subordinate god, he was at the upper reaches of F level. After entering Xishe, the promotion ceremony from F to E was successfully carried out within a few days.
And because of the increasing power of faith she has shared from Mary, she is now sprinting towards a D-class rating.
That is to say, Kamiya, who is worried that his good daughter will be damaged by the incense-filled incense, so from time to time he will take out the Zashiki statue from the Kishiki Shrine so that she can take a rest and consolidate the abilities she has acquired.
Otherwise, if we had ignored it and allowed Xishe to be fully active, Fu Bao would have been given a D rank by now.
In addition, although Zashiki Warashi is generally a small monster, he is actually a house god who can control luck to a certain extent, and his own racial attributes are quite satisfactory.
Kamiya's Fu Bao is even more powerful. It is already developing and changing in the direction of Shiroza Shiki, the true "God of Auspicious Fortune".
Therefore, the upper limit of growth is very high. It is expected that there will be no big obstacles in reaching D level or even C level in the future.
…
The two weeping blood candles burned out.
Hiyoribo's promotion went smoothly and quickly without any obstacles.
The Sunny Doll with a pure white smile floated up from the ground. Hiyoribo, in a yellow dress and bun hair, appeared with the Sunny Doll on her back.
"Congratulations, little Yang, your promotion went smoothly."
Kamiyagawa sat in front of two burned out red candles and greeted Hiwabo with a smile.
Little Taiyang was flattered when he saw the head of the family sitting in front of him and taking care of his promotion ceremony. He quickly stood up straight and said, "It's all because of Lord Kamiya's help!"
"Your own efforts are also very important." Kamiya said, placing a white umbrella with green silk thread hanging from the edge in front of Hiyoribo, "Try to absorb this."
【Rain Girl Umbrella】
A strange relic obtained from the rain girl at the Living Fish Hotel.
It has always been prepared for Hiyoribo.
They are both weather attribute monsters, and Little Sun is now E-level, so it should be able to successfully accommodate the relics produced by D-level monsters.
"I will definitely work hard!"
Hiyoribo folded his hands on his chest and bowed towards Kamiya.
Absorbing the [Umbrella Umbrella] was something that was agreed upon before, so Little Taiyang did not refuse. She also hoped to absorb this relic and not let Kamiyagawa down.
Hiyoribo gently touched the white umbrella on the ground.
The next second, the rain girl's umbrella turned into a misty smoke and poured into her body.
From the looks of it, it should be able to be absorbed smoothly.
When the situation here at Hiyoribo calmed down, Kamiya asked her, "Has there been any change?"
"Lord Kamiya, I...I seem to..."
Little Yang hesitated for a while, then lifted up the corner of her skirt and turned it around slightly.
Her original goose-yellow dress changed color during the rotation, turning into the color of indigo, with a wet texture, like the clouds, rain and mist in a splash-ink painting.
The Sunny Doll behind her also disappeared, and a small white oil-paper umbrella matching her petite body appeared out of thin air in her hand. There were green silk threads hanging around the umbrella, and wet rainwater dripped slowly along the green silk threads.
The changed appearance of Hiyoribo is somewhat similar to the temperament of the rain girl she saw in the Living Fish Hotel.
how to say.
She is still the same petite figure, but her appearance seems to have matured a lot, losing her original innocence and becoming more charming.
The natural charm in her eyes is simply a natural charm.
"how is it?"
Hiyoribo, who had transformed into the "Rain Girl" state, slightly raised the umbrella and asked Kamiya this way.
"Well……"
how to say?
Isn't it a little weird that the originally sweet and well-behaved little girl has turned into this?
My Hiyoribo was originally a very obedient and good girl!
"Kamiya-sama, ugh... you always feel shy if you keep staring at me. This... look like this makes me a little embarrassed."
Perhaps because he was not used to his current appearance, Hiyoribo's fair little face turned red. He slightly lowered the umbrella to cover his face, but at the same time, he raised his head carefully and secretly looked at Kamiya with his peripheral vision.
Well, although her appearance has changed, judging from her timid tone and demeanor, she is still the same little sun inside.
Moreover, many of the Kaidan Shikigami under his command have absorbed Kaidan relics, and none of them have changed their personalities.
"Can you ever change back to your original self?" Kamiya asked Hiyoribo.
"OK."
Little Yang slightly lifted up her indigo-colored skirt, exposing her white and tender bare feet, and gently turned around again.
Then her image changed again. She was wearing a goose yellow dress, white stockings and small embroidered shoes on her feet. The sunny doll on her back also appeared again.
"call--"
After returning to his original appearance, Little Sun breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected, I feel more comfortable with this appearance.
She turned into the strange look just now and had Lord Kamiya stare at her. Although it wasn't annoying, it was... too embarrassing.
"It seems that absorbing the relics went smoothly." Kamiyakawa nodded.
good.
Hiyoribo's changes after absorbing Ame Umbrella seem to be similar to those of Sister Obara. By switching the external form, she can become something like "Rain Girl", but she can also change back.
And in the "Rain Girl" form, Hiyoribo has a new ability——
Pray for rain.
It is similar to her original [Qing Qing] skill, which changes the surrounding environment.
It can also bring rain.
Moreover, the summoned rain and dew exist in two states, which can be controlled by Hiyoribo. One is normal rain and dew, and the other is acid rain with corrosive properties.
After confirming Hiyoribo's new ability, Kamiyagawa suddenly called her: "Little Sun."
"Yeah!" Hiyoribo responded quickly.
"Next, I need your help to accompany me to a place."
Little Taiyang immediately expressed his position: "I will go with Mr. Kamiya no matter where you are. If I can help you, that would be great!"
"No need to be so serious."
Kamiyagawa raised his hand and poked Hiyoribo's serious face.
He planned to take Hiyoribo to [Lost Kamui] next.
The petrified shaman over there said that the Kropokuru needed the sun.
I don’t know if Hiyoribo can meet this requirement, and I don’t know if she can successfully pray for clear weather in Kamui.
But let’s try it first.
"I will work hard." Hiyoribo began to ramble.
Because this was the first time Little Yang went out on a mission, even though she tried hard to restrain herself, Kamiyagawa could still feel her nervousness and excitement.
Considering that Hiyoribo did not have any combat experience, Kamiya gave her a full explanation before leaving.
"As soon as you go to the other world, you will stay in the spirit world. You can only come out when I tell you. Do you understand? There is danger over there. I promised before that I will protect you and Zu. Taste, so I don’t want anything to happen to you.”
"I will definitely listen to Lord Kamiya's words." Little Taiyang clasped her hands and promised seriously in her soft-spoken tone.
…
Lost Kamui.
Kamiya took the Kisaragi train and appeared directly outside the Kropokuru settlement.
This land is still cold and bleak, with a bleak and bleak scene.
The black-feathered and white-faced Crow Tengu that appeared before did not appear near the settlement this time.
Kamiyakawa called out to the little old man, wrapped the feathers around him, and headed directly towards the location where the shaman's mother-in-law was.
There was a dead silence in the abandoned settlement, and the sound of howling wind and snow completely covered up the rustling of snow under the feet of the master and servant.
"Abba!"
After walking for a while, the little old man in front stopped.
This is it.
Kamiyagawa found the sculpture of the shaman mother-in-law again, and asked the little old man to release an outer body to check the surrounding situation. After confirming that it was safe, he took out Hiyoribo's spiritual gift, the Sunny Doll, from his arms.
"Little Sun." He called softly.
"I'm here, Lord Kamiya."
The white sunny doll with a smiling face slowly floated up, and the little girl in a yellow dress appeared in the palm of Kamiya's hand. The small embroidered shoes on the soles of her feet were carefully stepped between his palms.
"Can you try praying for sunshine here?"
Hiyoribo looked up at the extremely dark and cold sky, hesitated for a while and replied: "There seems to be no sun here."
As a monster that can pray for sunny weather, there should be some kind of one-sided connection between Hiyoribo and the "sun".
Therefore, she could keenly feel the lack of sun on the land of Kamui.
"That's it."
Kamiyakawa nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that the sun in this place really disappeared for some reason.
"But if it emits light similar to the sun, I can give it a try, Lord Kamiya!" Perhaps because he didn't want to see Kamiya disappointed, the little sun on his palm added anxiously, but mid-sentence, She was a little unsure again, "Although the light I emit will be very weak."
"It's okay, let's try it."
Based on the idea that what comes comes, give it a try.
Little Taiyang gently smoothed the folds of her dress, and then carefully sat down in Kamiya's palm.
The sunny doll on her back began to glow, warm and gentle, and she herself became sparkling and gleaming.
The beautiful halo flowed from the edge of her goose-yellow skirt and turned into a warm and dry breath. The warm ripples slowly flowed towards the petrified shaman mother-in-law.
The air that the warm light and current passed through had a sense of comfort like the afternoon sun.
As the small light released by Hihebo touched the shaman's mother-in-law, the snow on the stone statue quickly dissipated.
then--
Snap.
There was a sound like something breaking.
There was a crack in the six-eyed mask of the shaman stone statue.
The cracks and crevices started as a small path, and soon extended into the shape of a spider web, and then spread towards the whole body of the stone sculpture under the "sunlight".
Snap, snap.
The sound of shattering continued, and some stone chips fell to the ground.
The original "stone sculpture" showed vivid skin color.
"Well……"
Summoning the halo-like light this time required far more energy than the previous heating and drying of the home. Seeing that the shaman mother-in-law was about to wake up, the little sun suddenly lost its strength and fell limply.
Kamiyakawa reacted quickly, slightly raising his five fingers to wrap around her petite and soft body.
As for Granny Shaman, all the stone chips on her body fell off completely, and she knelt down directly in the snow.
He was saying something excited and pious in Ainu language.
Kamiya couldn't understand what he said, but he roughly guessed that it was some words of thanks, so he said, "Mother-in-law, get up."
The shaman mother-in-law raised her head tremblingly.
In her sight, Kamiya and the Hiyoribo in his palm were radiating warm and sacred sunlight. Then she came to her senses and spoke in a harsh but barely comprehensible tone: "Amaterasu?"
Kamiya was slightly surprised.
This small Ainu shaman seems to have a certain understanding of Shinto mythology.
It seems that Kamiya or Hiyoribo in his palm is regarded as Amaterasu, the sun god in Shintoism.
However, the shaman's understanding of Amaterasu is obviously not accurate.
As one of the three noble sons in Japanese mythology and the incarnation of the sun in Shintoism, if Amaterasu had a rating, it would be S-level.
Of course, this has to be the case where the highest rating system is only S-level.
The Kamiya side is still far away from this kind of strength.
"No, it's not." Kamiyakawa shook his head, "Just a stranger passing by."
But the shaman mother-in-law obviously did not regard Kamiya and his party who rescued her from the petrified state as ordinary people, and instead respectfully called Kamiya Chuan "Kamui-sama".
It seems that he is determined to treat Kamiya as a god.
Kamiyagawa didn't pay too much attention to this kind of title. After all, it wasn't the first time he "pretended" to be a god in the other world.
He could bear the name "Kamui".
In the following exchange, Kamiya learned that the little human shaman was named "Grandma Loessus".
"Okay, Granny Oucao. Can you tell me more information about this place? For example, what have you experienced?" Kamiyakawa asked straight to the point.
It wasn't for nothing that he brought Little Sun here to save people. He had to get more information and clues related to the missing Kamui from Granny Oucao.
