Because he had been sleeping for nearly three months this time, Satoru didn't know about the aftermath of the Matsuzawa incident, and he knew nothing about the subsequent Haiguo incident.
And now there is not even a single ghost story in the house, which is obviously beyond Satoru's expectation.
Apart from the unexpected bad thing happening, no other reasonable explanation could be thought of in a short period of time.
"What on earth...what happened!"
Satoru stood blankly in the quiet corridor on the first floor for a while, then suddenly turned around and ran towards the second floor again.
The uneasy feeling lingered in her heart, so she wanted to go to Kamiya's bedroom to check on the situation.
"Did Zayu's apprentice not be rescued? What about Mary and Cai Zhi?"
"Really, really... If something happens to you, Zayu, Master Wu, I will absolutely, never forgive you... Oh, how can you leave me alone! You can't..."
Wu rushed to the door of the master bedroom and was about to reach out to open the door.
There was a soft snap.
The door was opened from the inside.
The first thing that catches the eye is the safe and sound Kamiya River.
Then he could see the Kaitan shikigami from his family appearing around him one after another. A few Kaitans smelled of drunkenness, and the familiar faces all looked red and full of wine and food.
The atmosphere where everyone was so happy and content was in sharp contrast to Xiao Wu who was frozen at the door and almost stopped crying.
The joys and sorrows of both sides are not the same, they are just staring at each other.
In the end, Kamiya was the first to break the silence: "Ah, what a coincidence, Satoru."
"W-What are you...what are you doing in there?"
Xiaowu's pair of thick and delicate twin ponytails trembled, and he angrily raised his foot to kick Kamiyakawa's calf.
But the latter calmly bent down and reached out to pinch him.
…
"Too much, too much!"
In the study.
Wu Zheng folded his hands on his chest and sat cross-legged, muttering and sulking.
Because she slept for too long, she missed a major version update at home.
Kamiya had to take the time to explain the general situation to her.
Also, characters like Sending Wolf, Bunche Yao Fei, and Anzha Kanniang all moved into the house after Satoru fell asleep, and they had to be introduced accordingly.
"I won't pay attention to you, you idiot! Mary and Cai Zhi are traitors too, huh!"
Satoru was still angry.
It was too much for the whole family to leave her and go out for the celebration!
Chilling! I want to make a scene!
"Who knows when you will wake up?" Kamiya shrugged, "Besides, I have not forgotten you. During the celebration, I would think of you from time to time, 'Xiao Wu should wake up in these days. I'm so happy. 'some type of."
"Don't think that I will believe the disgusting words you made up!" Wu said, waving his immature claws like a kitten with fried fur, "Besides, I just heard that you took advantage of me to sleep and put me in bed The house in Akihabara in the other world has been evacuated!"
Kamiyagawa, you have done all kinds of bad things!
"Borrowing, borrowing, it's a family matter. It's just a different place to put your collection and make use of it a little bit."
"snort!"
"Well, how about we organize a family gathering at home to celebrate your awakening? After all, you are the main contributor to rescuing the little deer, and it just so happens that many people did not attend the Haiguo celebration this time."
"Hmph. Satoru-sama, I don't care about the party."
Wu closed his eyes angrily and turned away.
"Add another all-in-one VR machine."
"I...well, I..."
Satoru half-opened his eyes and glanced at the Kamiya River on the other side with his peripheral vision, his expression also relaxed a little.
"What, want to find a suitable step to get off?"
"Long-winded!"
Although he still spoke harshly, from the look on Satoru's face, he must have been coaxed by Kamiya.
At this time, the study door was pushed open from the outside.
"Wu-chan, I heard you woke up!"
Wearing a midi skirt and a sailor uniform, the dusty servant of Kanoya rushed in from the corridor and almost flew over to hug Satoru who was sitting on the ground.
"Would you like some chocolate? I have prepared many boxes for you!"
"Wait a minute, don't hug me so tightly. I know you are grateful to me for saving you, but it's best to express your gratitude to the great Lord Satoru in a respectful way... Wow! Ouch! Don't... don't rub your face against me ah!"
…
The second longest river in Japan, called the Tone River, mainly flows through the Kanto region.
This great river exists not only in this world, but also in the eternal world.
However, the Tone River in the ordinary world is divided into several large and small blocks, and there are invisible barriers blocking each other.
Only some weird stories that meet the conditions of "foreign visit" can break through this permanent restriction and reach another area, or go directly to the present world.
Under the Tone River, there is a tributary called the Azuma River.
In the waters of this world, there is a not-so-powerful little monster who has made a long journey through the ordinary world through "foreign visits".
She had no idea where she was going, so she jumped into the river when she saw it along the way, and kept walking until she reached the Nara area of Osaka.
"It's so tangy, so tangy."
He is not tall, his face is similar to that of a cat, but he has a yellow beak. His hands are webbed like a frog, but he carries a turtle shell on his back.
There is a small saucer on the top of the head, which contains a pool of water.
But it was covered up with a small straw hat.
Obviously, this is a kappa.
Miyako Kappa of the Tone River.
According to rumors, Miyako is a female kappa known for her mischief.
Her hobbies are no different from those of other kappas. She likes cucumbers, sumo wrestling, and also has some strange hobbies of getting into threesomes. For example, he acts arrogantly in the Azuma River, telling other male monsters about the "little bells" in their crotches, or opening and closing his mouth just to pick out other people's shirikodama.
"It was a miscalculation. There is no water at all in this area... It's over. If I don't have time to go back to seek revenge on that monkey, I will be burned to death and turned into a kappa."
Miyako is probably a little monster with E-level strength.
However, there are not many ghost stories on Azumagawa's side, and they are not very strong. Other than her, there are basically no ratings.
Therefore, she was originally the eldest sister of that place, and other strange stories could not defeat her, so they had to listen to her.
This kind of day lasted for a long time, until not long ago, an alien alien ghost broke into the Azuma River.
That's a monkey.
A monster named Kawazu, also known as the Ape God.
In Japan, there is a very famous story called "The Ape God Retreats".
It is said that there once was a village that used a girl to worship the river god every year during the harvest. Otherwise, the river will flood and the crops will be harvested. Once, a monk passed by this village and saw that every family was making cakes, except for one family who was quietly doing nothing.
The monk was curious and went into the house to check. He saw that the family was crying around their daughter.
After asking for the reason, I found out that this family had drawn a white feather arrow this year and they had to sacrifice their daughter within seven days.
Seeing the uneven road, the monk hid in a tree hole by the river that night. Later that night, he heard the sound of something and singing a strange song:
"Don't talk about this or that matter.
Don't let Sitarou from Omi Nagahama know!
Woohoo, Woohoo, Woohoo, woe! "
When the monk heard this, he knew that the monster was afraid of Sitaro, so he went to look for him, and finally found that Sitaro was a spotted dog the size of a calf.
When the seven-day period was up, the girl's home prepared a large lidded box and asked the monk and Sitaro to hide in it instead of the girl.
At night, the monster came to collect the sacrifice. At this time, Sitaro swooped out, and the monk also drew his knife to chop. The last monster killed by one man and one dog was a huge ape.
The monster that is occupying the Azuma River now is the one in the story.
"Damn it, I can't die here. That smelly monkey ate all the dolphins..."
The patch-eared dolphins of Azuma River are a group of weak pig demons with only one ear and one eye on their faces.
Well, although Mimiko also thinks those little pig demons do look delicious...
But as the eldest sister of those monsters, the most she used to do was play pranks and bully the dolphins. For example, she would hide in the water and wait for the male pig monsters to pass by and then jump out and pull the "little bells" between their crotches.
"I have to go back and avenge my brothers. Sooner or later, I will take out that stinky monkey's jade!"
In Japanese legend, monkeys and kappas are mortal enemies that cannot be dealt with.
It is said that when monkeys cross the river, they often fight with kappa, and if they are not careful, the kappa will take away the jade from their buttocks. However, it is also said that kappa can only stay in the water for twelve quarters of an hour, while monkeys can stay in the water. Twenty-four quarters of an hour, so usually more monkeys catch kappas.
There is no way of knowing whether these folk sayings are credible.
Anyway, the monkey god who broke into Azuma River was indeed stronger than Miyako. It was roughly D-level in strength, and Miyako couldn't defeat it, so she had no choice but to run away.
He suppressed his thirst and continued to move forward.
Miyako didn't flee towards the waterless area of Nara by herself. She was forced to leave her home and lived in a very miserable life. She had also been attacked by other monsters along the way before, so she relied on her turtle shell to defend herself well. I am smart enough to survive until now, and I ended up here by accident.
"The monsters outside Azuma River are very unfriendly..."
The front seems to have come to an end again. I can feel the invisible barrier power again, and I can't see clearly what is behind the barrier.
But this is not a problem for "foreign visitors", just pass through.
Miyako arrives at the next area.
The light and shadow overlap and change, the surrounding scenery slowly becomes clear, rich colors are put together, cheerful electronic music plays, and what appears in front of Miyako is a strange building complex with colorful lights hanging high.
The arched front door clearly says -
[Nara Dreamland]
Miyako was illiterate, but she saw four huge crabs with human-like faces on their backs standing in front of the colorful gate.
"Crabs? If there are crabs, there should be water here, right?"
Because she had been dehydrated for too long, Miyako's originally smooth and moist green skin was cracked, and she couldn't hold it anymore.
After watching from a distance for a while, the big crabs didn't take the initiative to rush towards her and attack her.
So he bravely stepped forward.
A blue warrior crab at the entrance of the paradise raised its large pincers to stop her, and said angrily:
"An alien monster I haven't seen before? This is really the first time I've seen it. I registered before entering the park."
"Register?"
Miyako didn't understand what this meant.
Then all I saw behind the door was a clown with thick paint on his face and an exaggerated costume, walking out carrying a strange machine that looked very old.
“say cheese~”
The clown's voice was high-pitched and comical, as exaggerated as his costume.
Click!
Dazzling lights come on.
The clown took out a piece of film from the old camera, shook it, and posted it on the notice board at the door.
"Come in and obey the rules. Of course, Usagi-sama and the billboard are here, so you can't do it even if you don't want to."
The green warrior crab raised its pincers and let it go, then pointed at the billboard towering in the paradise, which read——
[In Dreamland, it is strictly prohibited to misappropriate other people's property through non-trading means. ]
Miyako still didn't understand the meaning of those characters, so she just walked towards the paradise in confusion.
The clown at the door laughed weirdly and weirdly at her. She looked at the notice board again and saw a "little piece of paper" stuck on it. It looked like herself, but it looked a little stupid.
"It's so fast to draw, but it's so ugly. I look much better than on the small piece of paper... This is really strange."
This place seemed different from any area I had been to before.
But Miyako didn't care about that anymore, she wanted to find water first.
…
The center of Dreamland is right below the Ferris wheel.
The small stall of Lingmiao Everything House is standing, with red and white lanterns swaying gently.
The cat shopkeeper, who was as big as a tiger cub, lay lazily on the counter, his two tails wagging in boredom behind him.
"Meow~"
It yawned and looked to the side.
There was a candle stall there with dozens of handmade requiem candles from Takamagahara.
The price is clearly marked, 400 soul crystals per candle.
In addition to the Requiem Candle, there are also Weeping Blood Candles that can be used to break through the ghost story, but they are all low-level, with the highest being D-level.
This kind of Weeping Blood Candle is much more expensive than ordinary Requiem Candle.
Kamiyagawa's inventory of D-level and below items has long been exhausted, and even C-level items cannot be used up.
So he simply made some in batches and distributed them to the people under his rule to buy for themselves.
This can be considered a benefit.
After all, this company is probably the only one in the entire world that can sell a large amount of materials that help stabilize breakthrough strength.
The creatures of Kamui, the sea tribes of the sea kingdom, the strange tales obeyed in the paradise and the hotel, as long as you join the production or the army and earn soul crystals, you can buy this precious item.
Work hard to strengthen yourself, and then work better with stronger strength!
Not only can it recycle the soul crystals sent out by Shengu, but it can also form a virtuous cycle.
Currently guarding the candle stall is a ghost from the hotel.
Paper dance.
It looks like a kimono girl folded from paper.
The moving paper figures look a bit weird.
Maomao knew that this paper dance was brought here from the Living Fish Hotel not long ago by a mermaid who looked noble in behavior but also had a ferocious appearance.
That mermaid looks a bit like the owner’s HR manager?
Anyway, she was responsible for the recent series of big moves and personnel transfers.
Zhiwu's strength is not strong, only F level, but he is a rare literate ghost under the coverage of the master's influence, so he was arranged by the mermaid to sell candles.
There is also a cute little girl wearing red armor, dragging a conch hammer, and occasionally walking sideways across the aisle. She has also been active recently.
And for some reason, Maomao felt that this girl with red armor smelled like a can of seafood.
That little can seems to have taken out several monsters from the park and the hotel that seemed to be barely fightable.
"Meow."
Cat continued to yawn.
What the owner has done recently is also good for it.
A few days ago, the mermaid brought two monsters to talk about it, one was the "Hou Shen" and the other was the "Shin Rub".
One came from the hotel, and the other seemed to have been persuaded to surrender by the little can "persuading people with virtue" in Aokigahara. Anyway, they were all relatively rare "foreign visits". They were not very strong, but they were very quick in action.
The two little demons act as Cat's subordinates, and they can go out to pick up garbage with Cat in the future.
In fact, the master should have done this long ago.
Nowadays, almost all the things that can be picked up in various areas have been picked up by cats.
You have to go far and wide to find some useful materials.
Moreover, the owner is planning to build a new ocean shrine. The list has been passed down through the mermaid, and there is a lot of materials to find. It is better to have two subordinates who follow the arrangement than to pull the cat cart alone.
"Meow……"
Speaking of masters.
The master hasn't come to touch me for a long time.
Is my fur not shiny enough or slippery enough, or does he have another dog outside?
Lonely meow.
