Azabu, Minato-ku, Tokyo. The Azabu area is a high-end residential area formed by the merger of Azabu, Shiba, and Akasaka wards.
In the early days, although Azabu was located in the center of Minato City, it was known as Azabu due to inconvenient transportation.
"Island of Land", as a place isolated from the hustle and bustle of the city
The "secluded area" has gathered a lot of popularity. With the opening of the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line and the Toei Subway Oedo Line, the convenience of the Azabu area has improved a lot, and its popularity has also increased.
A full-time housewife living in the Azabu area is generally called
"Azabu wife" is not a derogatory term, but a pronoun for female residents of the wealthy class. These Azabu wives live in houses that cost more than 100 million yen.
Minato-ku Azabu is a truly wealthy area. It was four nights since my last trip to Saitama Prefecture.
Kamiya and Onizuka finished their classes at Tokyo University's Hongo campus, arranged to have dinner together in the central cafeteria, and then came to Minato-ku Azabu.
Yunju Qingxiang's Xiang Daoguan is located here. On the wide road, there are rows of mansions, the street lights are bright, the streets are neat, and the atmosphere is elegant.
"Achuan, we'll be there just over the intersection." The little witch led the way. This wasn't the first time she went to Miss Yunju's shop, and she was very familiar with this area.
Although the little miko used to live in a shrine for a long time, she was also able to spend 400 million yen to buy a high-end apartment in Chiyoda.
The environment in the wealthy area is really nothing unusual for Onizuka, so she won't look around and observe like Kamiya.
As for Miss Yunju, she is naturally a wealthy person who can open an incense temple in this area.
"It turns out that the rich woman's friend is also a rich woman." Kamiya sighed in his heart. Miss Yunju's Xiang Dao Pavilion is a very elegant Japanese-style restaurant.
Quietly located on the corner of a street in a wealthy area, it has a sense of independence.
"The residual flowers have fallen away, and the fragrance has become empty; when they are moved up the sleeves of a beautiful woman, the fragrance suddenly becomes stronger." When entering the lobby inside, the first thing you see is such a poem.
Written with a brush, the handwriting is beautiful. It seems to be a poem describing the path of incense in "The Tale of Genji", because Onizuka Little Miko's previous nickname on the forum was
"Purple Above", so Kamiya has watched "The Tale of Genji". The owner of this incense dojo, Miss Yunju, is a descendant of Soami-ryu, but what she teaches in her restaurant is Oika-ryu.
Normally, an incense master is not allowed to learn two kinds of incense. At least not in name.
But for the secular world, Soami-ryu has been lost for a long time, and many people even think that this genre has never existed at all.
As for Yunju Qingxiang's secular status, she is the youngest in the imperial family.
"Okuden", in addition to his identity in the spiritual world, he is the successor of Sangami. The two are not in conflict. Yujia Liuxiangdao developed among nobles and courtiers who advocated the taste of fragrance and atmosphere. It is elegant in style, emphasizes atmosphere, has luxurious incense tools, and seeks softness in complicated procedures.
It is now available to the general public and does not involve any supernatural elements. There is absolutely no problem in teaching ordinary people, which is to cultivate sentiments and inherit culture.
Although it is night now, there are also customers in the Xiang Dao Hall. When Kamiya and Onizuka came in, they saw more than a dozen guests sitting around a long oak table doing incense-smelling activities.
The aroma of wonderful peace fills the air.
"The third incense, light it."
"Everyone, please smell the fragrance."
"..."
"What are they doing?" Kamiya approached Onizuka and asked in a low voice. The little witch also whispered back to him:
"Playing with Genji Incense." Those people were doing something called
"Genji Incense" incense making game. The so-called scent combination is a game where you smell several scents first and then guess what kind of scent it is, which is also a game of scent games.
As for
"Genji Incense" is a group of incense set based on the records of "The Tale of Genji". There are fifty-two Genji incense patterns in total, corresponding to the fifty-four chapters of "The Tale of Genji", excluding the paulownia pot at the beginning and the dream floating bridge at the end.
To play Genji incense, you need to take five kinds of fragrant woods and divide them into five packs, for a total of twenty-five packs. Disrupt the order, take five packages at will, put them in the incense burner one after another, and the pilgrims hold the burner and smell it, repeating five times.
Finally, the player distinguishes the similarities and differences of the five incense smells, and arranges the smells to correspond to one of the fifty-two incense pictures.
It's a very elegant and complicated game. If Onizuka can participate, Kamiya doesn't have to think about it. Just when the little miko lowered her voice and explained the rules of Genji incense to Kamiya, the people who were making incense also noticed the two of them.
One of them put down the incense burner in his hand and walked out.
"Hello, Onizuka and Kamiya. Are you looking for Haruka?" Mr. Takashi Takiguchi, who I had met in Saitama before.
"Yes, I made an appointment with Haruka-san this afternoon." Onizuka nodded.
"Mr. Takiguchi, won't you continue to make incense?" Kamiya smiled in a friendly manner, while slightly shrinking his eyes and looking at the other person.
Mr. Takiguchi still has an abnormal aura lingering around him. This should be related to the fact that he has been cursed for a long time, but the death aura is indeed invisible.
It seems that the mallet and straw man used by Onizuka to destroy the curse were indeed useful. What this gentleman has to do after that is a long period of physical conditioning.
"Anyway, I can't be the 'Jade' tonight." Mr. Takiguchi waved his hand.
"Qingxiang is behind, I will take you to find her." The three of them met Yunju Qingxiang in the room behind the Xiang Gym.
"Oh, you're here." Tonight, Onizuka and Kamiya were actually invited by Miss Yunju. The four of them chatted casually for a while, and briefly talked about Mr. Takiguchi's current physical condition.
"Actually, I feel much better now. After grandma was buried, I felt that my body had improved significantly. Maybe it was grandma who became a Buddha and was blessing me." Mr. Takiguchi said this, but soon changed his words to Onizuka. Kagami added: "Of course, thank you both very much." After hearing this, the remaining three people didn't have much reaction on the surface, and just nodded in cooperation.
Takiguchi didn't know what Kamiya and the others did in Saitama last week. He only knew that they checked his physical condition.
Kamiya doesn't care about this. It doesn't matter what Mr. Takiguchi thinks, as long as Miss Yunju makes a note of the favor.
After talking for a while, Miss Yunju said to her boyfriend: "Takashi, I'm talking to Xiaoying and Kamiya-kun about some things, you know, things about the shrine."
"Okay, you guys chat, I'll go see how the Genji Incense is going outside." Mr. Takiguchi stood up and left.
After he left, Miss Yunju looked at the pair of college students in front of her with a smile: "Aren't you going to tell me? Is there anything you want to entrust me to do?"
"Eh? How could Sister Haruka think like this?" Onizuka blinked.
"I felt it when you two came to Saitama to see me." Kamiya: ...I have to say, this big sister... is really good at reading people.
"It's like this, Sister Haruka. As for Agawa, he has an apprentice who wants to learn Soami-ryu's incense magic." Onizuka stopped pretending and moved closer to Miss Yunju.
"Look, didn't we help you? Let's count my share on Achuan."
"Apprentice? Kamiya-kun wants to give me an apprentice to teach?"
"This is how Achuan teaches his disciples. He is very busy with his practice, and the Honganji Temple is also helping him teach his disciples. Moreover, Sister Haruka, let me tell you, Achuan's apprentices are very pitiful... No If you need to give me some advice, you can also give some general guidance. Sister Haruka is the best." Onizuka roughly told the situation of Kanoya's spiritual fetus.
"Then I understand, Soami-ryu is not an unheralded art." Probably out of respect for Onitsuka, the little miko whom she regarded as her younger sister, Miss Yunju nodded quickly.
Then Miss Yunju looked at Kamiyakawa with a half-smiling smile. This disciple of ghosts and gods is quite powerful. Isn’t it obvious that Xiaoying’s elbows are turned outward?
They all come to me to reap the benefits. I'm really worried for Granny Gu and Huali. The little god of Juqiong Shrine is going to be abducted...
"Ahem." Kamiya felt a little uncomfortable at the look in Yunju Haruka's eyes, coughed lightly, and then started to thank him,
"Thank you, Miss Yunju." Miss Yunju: "It's nothing. I should thank you in the first place. When you are free, Kamiya-kun will send his apprentice to me." Lu Yewu's plan for the arrangement of the incense method is considered It was done very smoothly.
By the time we left the Xiang Daoguan, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening. Kamiya and Onizuka did not go home immediately, but went to Roppongi in Minato City for a walk.
While shopping, the two of them talked——
"Achuan, do you owe me this time?"
"Well, then how should I repay Lord Son of God?"
"Hmph~ Let's talk about it later, write it down first." On the Roppongi side, the street trees are decorated with lights, which are bright and beautiful at night.
The two walked for a while, and Kamiya suddenly asked: "By the way. What do you think about Mr. Takiguchi's matter?"
"What do you think?"
"The people closest to you actually have another side. If it were you, would you like to know the truth, or would it continue to be hidden?"
"Why are you suddenly asking me such a heavy question?" Onizuka put his hands behind his back, raised his head and looked at the night sky.
"But if it were me, I still hope to know the truth, even if the truth is difficult to accept." Knowing the truth of the matter, I don't want to be deceived.
It seems that the little miko will indeed have such a character. And in her heart, Kamiya was probably like this, so she told Kamiya about the descending of the gods early.
"Achuan, Achuan! Don't walk so slowly. Let's go to the intersection in front! Those who arrive later should treat those who arrive first to a drink!" The little miko who had already run to the front looked energetic.
"Knowing the truth." Kamiyakawa thought in his heart, but did not go after Onizuka immediately. It's just a drink.
...As Kamiya enters college, the pace of life has indeed changed a lot. But on a daily basis, I practice Taitojutsu and Raifa, as well as develop Shikigami Kaidan.
Little Tapir’s Terror and Dreamland Shrine is the best
"Old with new" tools. At present, the statue of Prajna has been put in to act as a subordinate god. As an Aragami, Prajna does not have to worry about having no faith to support his daily activities and battles for the time being.
However, if she wants to upgrade her strength again, she still has to build a shrine for her. The other position of the minor deity of the Kotapir Shrine is currently rotated between the Kotagi and the Tengu.
Acquiring faith in advance and increasing their strength can effectively help the two of them enter the realm of the wild gods as soon as possible.
In addition, in recent times, Kamiya's non-Style Gods and Monsters have achieved a series of breakthroughs in ratings - the hard-working little old scout has been raised from E-level to D-level.
Perhaps because of the blessing of two strange relics, his upgrade went quite smoothly this time. The most significant enhancement after upgrading is the ability to summon a third outer body.
Thinking back to when I first met the little old man, he was just a weak monster with no rating.
Now that I have gained D-level strength without realizing it, regardless of whether I can fight or not, with this level, I can be stuffed into the Hualing School in Novice Village and become a boss.
Moreover, the upper limit of the weird talk of the little old man is very low. Kamiya's little old man may already be the strongest in the world.
All I can say is that the little old man is indeed very discerning. He recognized his master when Kamiya was still very weak, and now he follows the chicken and dog to ascend to heaven.
In addition to the scouts, Cai Zhi, Xiao Wu, and Gu Chang also achieved a round of promotion. Caizhi was promoted from D-level to C-level, and Xiaowu and Guochang were promoted from F-level to E-level.
Their original abilities have been strengthened. The Shouya team's monsters have become more powerful, and Kamiya will be able to feel more at ease when going out in the future.
In addition, after Cai Zhi reached C level, in addition to changes in strength, there were also changes in appearance. The body of this naughty kid's ghost story is a piece of red crayon. It can be sketched with messy red lines to look like childish hands. These hands can move freely and can even play games with Satoru.
After upgrading to C level, Cai Zhi can directly outline a human shape with red lines. He has the height and build of a six or seven-year-old child, with red lines constantly swinging all over his body, and his face is left blank with the outline of his eyes and mouth, looking like a lake.
This shape is a bit sloppy, and ordinary people may find it scary when they see it, and they may be scared to the point of pissing themselves off.
But the brave Kamiya, who is an expert in art, thinks it's okay. If I have to describe it, it's weird and cute. Moreover, Cai Zhi sketched out the appearance of a humanoid loli, which probably restored her original appearance.
The human form and hairstyle she sketched out are very recognizable. It should look like a soft and cute jellyfish head.
It really looks like a jellyfish, kind of
The "round baby head" gives the impression of a rounded and neat bangs with a mushroom-like shape on the top and two jellyfish whiskers on the bottom.
Cai Zhi, who has a human form, still cannot speak, but can spread out several red lines, and directly use the ends of the lines as pen tips.
In other words, her expression speed will be faster, and it will be very convenient for her to write or draw. This may be a good thing for Caizhi directly.
But for Guochang, it may be a disaster... However, Shushu has been promoted to E-level and can better control its Bai Rongyi, so he is on par with Caizhi.
