The hot spring suite where Xiaolu is located, and the large terrace outside the glass sliding door of the living room.
The little old man is wearing a red deer, staying here to look at the snowy scenery of Lake Towada.
The eldest lady of Kanoya was taking a bath, so the two of them naturally didn't want to disturb her, but chose to stay outside.
There was thick snow and cold air on the terrace, but both ghost stories were very pleasant.
The red deer sat facing Lake Towada, holding a large bowl of tonkotsu ramen with its front hooves like scissor hands, and devoured it.
"Yo——"
This noodle soup is very delicious and makes your body warm after drinking it.
There is a large bowl placed next to the red deer.
It contains hot water and...a little old man.
The scout took off his ethereal monk robe and neatly folded it aside. He lay on his back and soaked in the hot water in the bowl. He supported his arms on the edge of the bowl and held a small, cut-off head on his bare head.
towel.
He half-squinted his eyes and looked extremely comfortable.
"Abba..."
Sure enough, it is a kind of enjoyment to take a bath while watching the snow scene in the cold winter.
Moreover, this large bowl is a perfect size for serving yourself!
Then I took the bathed bowl home.
The master once taught by words and deeds——
After doing good deeds, it is completely reasonable to take some benefits appropriately.
As a member of the Kamiya family, the scouts naturally have to practice this family tradition.
Since I assisted the eldest lady in rescuing the little master Akimichi Nahiro, why not bring a bowl back to her home to use as a bathtub as a souvenir.
"Woo-chi, wo-chi."
After soaking for a while, the little old man gestured to the red deer beside him.
"Yo..."
The red deer's eyes rolled, and it took him a while to understand what the senior scout meant. It put down the half-eaten tonkotsu ramen, rubbed its belly, lazily stood up, and picked up the kettle from the stove next to it.
Then he carefully poured it down along the edge of the bowl where the senior scout was bathing.
"Abba——"
Thanks.
The temperature of the slightly cold water rose again, the hot steam dispelled the chill, and the little old man slumped down comfortably.
Then, the sound of the red deer picking up the bowl and eating noodles could be heard again.
"Woo-chi, wo-chi!" The little old man quickly straightened up and waved.
Unexpectedly, the red deer is quite edible despite its small size.
Leave some for me too!
This is what Miss Kanoya specially prepared for the two of us.
I can't not taste it.
…
Hot spring street.
The ancient neighborhood is built around a small river. The historical splendor of nearly a century and the overlapping of the four seasons have created a wonderful picture of fresh, simple and romantic scenery here.
There are stone streets, regular wooden houses, hot spring shops and retro cafes with pavilions stacked on top of each other, with green and black bricks and tiles covered with snow.
After night falls, the kerosene lamps on the street cast a warm light, and the lights in the hotels and shops are also dotted. The entire hot spring street exudes a strong "Taisho" style romantic atmosphere.
Ms. Shiomi drove her car through the streets of Hot Spring Street.
She just came back from Akimichi's hot spring hotel.
The two official exorcists who followed her are still staying there, but there are also colleagues staying in the forest where the train retreated. As the leader of the team, she still has to go back to the forest to record some information.
It will be convenient for writing reports later.
It's already very late.
But there are still pedestrians walking in twos and threes on the hot spring street side, mostly tourists who come here for sightseeing.
The street was not wide, so Shiomi slowed down the car very slowly.
Then, through the front windshield, she saw a figure walking slowly along the street.
He is a young man.
He was probably a tourist too, as he looked very interested in the hot spring street scene.
But that young man was alone. Compared with the groups of friends and couples on the street, he seemed a little lonely.
The distance was closer, and Shiomi glanced through the car window.
"Oh? He's still a handsome brother."
The young man looked to be about the age of a college student, with handsome features and sharp black hair and shoulders covered with snowflakes, which reflected the faint light under the kerosene lamp on the street.
If she wasn't busy with official duties, the single Ms. Shiomi wouldn't mind just getting out of the car and inviting her to a bar on the street for a drink, so that the single boy could experience the beauty of Snow Country.
Continuing to lightly apply the brakes, Ms. Shiomi's car passed the young man in front of her.
"etc!"
The moment they passed each other, Shiomi shuddered suddenly and stepped on the brakes hard.
Bah!
The car's tires scraped against the stone paved street.
Shiomi lowered the car window and looked back.
The young man had stopped and was standing a few meters away looking at her. His eyes seemed to have a friendly smile, but there was also a sharp light that could not be ignored.
"he……"
There is no mistake, this young man is a fellow traveler.
He should be a spirit exorcist, and the aura on his body was terrifying, at least the moment he passed by. It made Ms. Shiomi, who was quite experienced in exorcizing spirits, feel as scary as falling into an ice cave.
The boy stood, his tall figure warmly blurred by the lights of the store behind him.
And through the reflection of the glass of the shop window, Shiomi saw ghostly shadows surrounding the boy!
A Gothic dress and a purple and white undershirt clung to his sides.
There was another tall figure in a white dress standing behind him, and a small and cute figure in a red and white kimono, pulling on his clothes, standing in front of him.
Next to it, there are huge black dogs and white alien beasts; beautiful children dragging whale tails whose gender is difficult to distinguish; young men with black wings on their backs and mysterious masks on their faces...
These ghosts of different sizes and shapes are almost crowded in the hot spring street block on this side.
"Isn't he not alone at all?" Ms. Shiomi's hair stood on end.
There were so many strange stories around that young man, and all of them looked extremely powerful.
What's the origin?
With this configuration, it wouldn’t be difficult to completely wipe out the Countermeasures Room branch in Aomori, right?
Then I saw the young man who might be the exorcist took out his pocket, shook it off and opened a book with a conspicuous certificate. With his free right hand, he raised his index finger and put it in front of his mouth and nose, making a "silence" sign.
action.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ms. Shiomi could clearly see that the name "Kamiyagawa" was clearly written on the certificate.
"This...this is the disciple of ghosts and gods!?"
Seen alive!
If it is this big shot, it seems quite reasonable for him to appear here.
To be continued...
