Chapter 306 Heading to Ouri Island
Aragami.
Kamiyagawa understands this concept.
Now, he has accumulated quite a lot of relevant theoretical knowledge.
The so-called Aragami in Japan generally refers to monsters who have certain folk beliefs but do not have absolutely orthodox godhood.
For example, in Aokigahara, Yamaba, Yamabiko, and Inokasa King were worshiped as mountain gods or forest gods on a small scale among the people.
Therefore, they can all be classified as Arakami.
After Mary established a shrine and initially absorbed the power of faith, she could also be regarded as an Aragami.
Corresponding to the concept of Aragami is "True God".
The Shojins generally possess absolutely orthodox divinities, and their names are recorded in the Shinto god system.
Like "Amaterasu" who symbolizes the sun; "Tsukiyomi Mikoto" who symbolizes the moon; "Takego Raijin" who controls thunder and swords; "Amahi Falcon God" who protects the prosperity of business; and is currently controlled by Kamiyagawa
The mutilated remains of the god are the incarnation of Mount Fuji, "Konohana no Sakuyabi", and they are all typical representatives of the true gods.
"The official definition of Red Ray-sama is an Aragami. Referring to Shan Lao's situation, this Red Ray-sama must be a powerful C-level monster at the end, and there is a high possibility of reaching B-level. I feel that it is possible to produce Red Ray bones.
Look."
And based on the archives of Aomori Prefecture, Kamiyagawa knew that in the early winter season a long time ago, certain fishing villages along the coast of Aomori would hold "red stingray festivals".
It is a small sacrificial activity held for Lord Red Ray, the god of wilderness.
The specific content of the sacrifice was not written in detail, but was briefly mentioned——
Fishermen who had this belief in the past believed that after offering sacrifices to Lord Red Ray, Lord Red Ray would reward them with rich catches.
However, similar small-scale sacrificial customs have slowly disappeared in modern times.
According to data from Aomori Prefecture, the last recorded "red stingray festival" was held on an island called Ourishima.
That festival was almost 30 years ago.
Therefore, judging from the information provided by the official, the belief in Lord Red Ray has almost completely declined and disappeared.
But it’s understandable, after all, it’s a very niche folk belief in wild gods.
"From the information, the red stingray festivals in various places are held almost in the middle of December. Isn't this the past few days? Maybe I have to hurry up and go to Aomori, preferably Ourishima.
Let’s do some research and see if we can get a red stingray bone by luck.”
thus.
Kamitani River plans to go to Aomori Prefecture and focus on investigating Oguri Island.
And you have to hurry up and go, taking advantage of the fact that it is mid-December.
This is why he just opened the [Grand Love Hotel], but he still decided to put the matter of the new map aside first.
In fact, Kamiya has even bought a flight ticket to Aomori tomorrow morning.
In the afternoon, I also got a week's leave from school.
The application went quite smoothly, and the [Thousand Silver Needles] were not even used. Perhaps in the eyes of the class teacher, Kamiya-san was already quite "frail and sickly."
"When I go to Aomori to investigate the matter of Lord Red Ray, no matter whether I get the Red Ray bone or not, on my way back to Tokyo, I will stop by Chiba Prefecture to open a new map."
This is how Kamiya arranged his one-week "sick leave" itinerary.
Very reasonable.
"Oh, by the way. Since I'm going to Aomori tomorrow, I have to go to Takamagahara to ring the bell and find a medicine seller. I'll buy a copy of [Life-Extending Purple Gold Cream] and prepare it. It should still be in time."
Purple gold frost is a necessary consumable for Kamiyagawa to wear a mask in reality.
If you want to do things in the watch world, it's best to have a copy on hand just in case you need it.
In addition, [Life Extension Purple Gold Cream] itself has the effect of extending life, and taking it has great benefits.
Everything is good, the only problem is that the price is too expensive, 8000 soul crystals per dose.
"The money for the life-extending purple gold frost, and the money for preparing construction materials for Mary. Adding these two together, I have almost spent all the soul crystals I earned in Aokigahara, and I am completely broke again."
Money is earned quickly and spent quickly.
But there is no way, these are all necessary investments.
"Forget it, forget it, look at it, isn't it just for spending money? If you keep it in your hands, it won't produce offspring." Kamitani comforted himself in pain, "That's it...this large expenditure,
Let’s take care of the monsters on the next map [Live Fish Hotel] first.”
…
Now that he has bought his ticket, Kamiya plans to leave for Aomori early the next morning.
On this trip, he only brought Zashiki and the little old man with him.
The rest of the strange stories are all left at home to look after the house.
The same goes for the hearse group. After taking Kamiya to the airport, they can go home and rest. The place they are going to this time is an island, and they will not play a big role there.
The Phantom Mazda cannot go into the sea. The most suitable terrain for them to exert their maneuverability is roads or cities.
Entrance hall.
Kamiyagawa waved goodbye to the red crayon colored paper, Hiyoribo, Kuuchang, and the awkward-looking Xiao Wu:
"You guys stay at home well these days when I'm not home. If anything happens, just listen to Dashi and Gao Shan."
The ghost stories all nodded.
Only Satoru clenched his fists and bared his white teeth in dissatisfaction in protest: "What's the matter with the tone you use when parents go out to tell their children!"
Kamiya kept smiling and did not reply to her immediately.
I said in my heart that this was not just told to you.
After thinking for a moment, Kamiya knelt down again and looked at the half-cut red crayon hanging on the ground: "Caiwei, please protect the rest of the family while I'm not at home."
Among the strange stories that Kamiyagawa left at home, Satoru, Hiyoribo, and Kuchi were all weak, like chickens and dogs.
As for the Hearse Group, although they have eaten a lot of candles, they are still in the F category for now.
The strongest one is undoubtedly the D-class Red Crayon Saiori.
If Kamiya had to choose a security guard when he was not at home, it would be her.
But...what should I say about this child?
After getting along with her for this period of time, I can’t say that she is not well-behaved. Apart from occasionally drawing turtles and cat heads at home to torture Kuuchi, Ayori basically doesn’t do bad things and is generally considered a very obedient child.
But she was a little confused.
According to Kamiyagawa's feeling, Little Crayon's understanding of many things is blank. Coupled with her experience of being accidentally killed by her biological mother, she may even be a little distorted sometimes.
If I have to say it, it looks a bit like...Mary's baby body?
In short, there must be a sane person by Caizhi's side to help monitor and restrain her behavior.
It was a good thing for Kamiyagawa to go out this time. The hearse team and Satoru-chan stayed at home and could act as the "guardians" of the little crayon.
Especially Wu.
After the kid woke up from this phone call, the red crayon Cai Zhi kept pestering her.
She often shakes her pen, and she has a longer sister and a shorter sister. She seems to be very close to Satoru.
rustle.
After hearing Kamiya's additional instructions, the red crayon fell to the entrance floor and began to write: "Leave it to me, Ayaori, to protect Onai-chan."
"If you have to call me, just call me Sister Satoru, don't call me Ouchi-chan!"
Satoru was obviously not used to this kind of affectionate address, so he corrected Cai Zhi with a blushing face.
"squeak……"
As for Kuuchang, who was standing behind him, when he saw Cai Zhi writing on the ground, he subconsciously grabbed the square scarf around his neck.
But because Kamiya-sama was half-crouched communicating with the naughty little crayon, Kuchan didn't dare to rush up and wipe the floor immediately.
