Present life.
Home in Kamiyagawa, Arakawa Ward, Tokyo.
"call--"
Kamiya sat up from the big bed in the master bedroom.
It has been a week since he broke into Dajiangshan, and overall it has gone smoothly.
Because of his seven-game winning streak at the Shogunatei, his final killing of Yamao, and his ability to single-handedly eliminate the resurrected ghosts and undead in the palace, the name "Ghost Shogun Inujiro" was established in Oeyama Castle.
Any sensible monster in the city will have a rough idea of ​​the popularity of this foreign dog monster.
There is some truth to what Golden Bear Boy said. After all, Dajiangshan is a force that speaks with its fists. As long as you can fight well enough, you will be respected by other monsters.
Using his identity as a ghost general, Kamiya has recently begun to explore the internal armament situation in Dajiangshan.
I roughly got some useful information——
There are a total of fifteen ghost generals in Dajiangshan, not counting Kamiya himself.
There is no Aragami among the ghost generals, and twelve of them have C-level strength. The strength of Yamao who was killed before is probably at the bottleneck of C-level breaking through B-level. This level is the top level of combat power at the level of ghost generals in Dajiangshan.
.
Among the twelve C-level ghost generals, eight are from the ghost clan.
In today's big country, there are many kinds of strange stories, and the number of ghosts is not dominant. But from the perspective of the high-level composition structure, the basic market is still controlled by the ghosts.
"Comparing Dajiangshan's forces with my own, Dajiangshan's side has the upper hand in terms of the number of C-class monsters. But I can mobilize enough Aragami here. Dajiangshan's only known ones are the Golden Bear and the Star Bear.
Well, even if we fight head-on, my side may not lose."
If this were the case, even if Kamiyagawa and his shikigami suddenly launched an attack inside Oeyama Castle, it would be enough to turn the monster city upside down.
But there are still uncertain factors, such as the S-class snake god entrenched in Ibuki Daimyojin Shrine.
And if I have to say it, there is Ibaraki-dōji. So far, Kamiya has not obtained any information related to Ibaraki-dōji from Oeyama.
"According to my current understanding, the expansion of Dajiangshan has a tendency to go south. If you really go south, you will hit Dreamland head-on in a short time. When the two forces officially conflict, then my work behind enemy lines will be almost done.
It’s over.”
The members of the ghost clan are quite aggressive, as can be seen from the Golden Bear Boy.
The only difference is that Star Bear, a beautiful and alcoholic one-horned female ghost, has always had a vague attitude towards expansion.
However, Xingxiong's relatively soft dovish attitude does not have many supporters among Dajiangshan's top management. It is impossible for her alone to change Dajiangshan's internal ecology.
Therefore, after this period of latent observation, Kamiyagawa has been able to determine that as long as Paradise is exposed to the forces of Dajiangshan, there will definitely be a battle between the two sides.
And it's inevitable.
Perhaps it is the nature of most ghosts to plunder regardless of the cost?
"Before a formal conflict occurs, I have to take necessary actions. There may not be as much time as I originally expected. Protecting my own power is the first priority."
…
Leave the master bedroom and push the door to the corridor on the second floor.
"Squeak!"
Kuchan, who was conscientious about his duties, was waiting at the door with a small wooden basin as usual.
After getting the owner's permission, Shushu eagerly entered the room and started cleaning it meticulously.
Kamitani went down the stairs and was going to the kitchen to find something to eat.
This time he entered the ordinary world and stayed there for two days at a stretch.
Although his consciousness was offline for two days, there was no problem with his body in the real world, except that he felt very hungry when he woke up.
The benefits of condensing the power of ghosts and gods into the body are very obvious, whether it is for combat or daily life.
"If this continues, will I become like Kaitan? I don't need to eat much, and my basic rest time will be greatly reduced? In this way... in a sense, it's not impossible."
Kamiyagawa became so ruthless that he even exploited himself.
Belong to the evil dragon and eventually become the boy who slays the dragon.
I was the chosen worker.
I found two bentos in the refrigerator in the kitchen, one with beef fried dumplings and one with fried chicken and rice. Judging from the dates, they were both newly purchased.
Kamiyagawa has been in the permanent world for the past two days, so this was probably bought by Bunche Yaofei after get off work or by Xiaolu on the way home from school and stored in the refrigerator.
The two of them also knew that once Kamiya returns from the ordinary world recently, apart from simply taking a shower, the other important thing to do is to find food at home.
Lunchboxes are not particularly delicious food, but they are convenient and filling.
There’s nothing wrong with keeping some at home at all times.
I can only say that the apprentice and the secretary are very considerate, and they have their own master and master in their hearts.
After heating both lunch boxes, the hungry Kamiya sat down at the dining table and started eating.
While eating, he saw a small pile of information placed on the corner of the table.
There is also a note on it, written in Juanxiu handwriting: [Master, please take a look.]
It was Bunche Yaofei who stayed here to report on the recent affairs of GENIE Animation Studio.
Just take it and look through it.
Xiao Wenche has been very busy recently, and there are a lot of things to deal with at the GENIE studio.
The first season of "Miss Mary" has ended on TV and has achieved very good results. The average ratings of the last episode even exceeded 5%.
TBS has even begun discussions with Wenche about reserving the TV rights for the second season.
Then there is the report on the online broadcast of the series, and the report on the sales of Blu-ray DVDs.
The situation is very good.
Especially for DVD sales, although it has only started for a few days, according to Wen Che's calculations, the profit income achieved in this area is enough to completely recoup the initial investment of "Miss Mary", and there will be considerable profit after that.
of estimated sales.
In addition, the peripheral income of the series has also begun to bear fruit.
The order for the figure has been arranged, and a contract with Lawson Convenience Store regarding character-linked desserts has been initially signed.
"Although I don't know much about peripheral income, just looking at the report, Xiao Wenche's work is very good. In Fu Bao's words, this is the feeling of making a lot of money!"
In fact, Zashiki's important opinion on the family's financial fortune was actually "Er, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh".
But the old father knew what she was expressing.
Continuing to flip through GENIE's report, I saw quite interesting content on the last page of Kamiya——
A company that produces "Pachinko" proposed to acquire GENIE Studio for 200 million yen.
There is a very strange phenomenon in Japan. Pachinko, also known as gambling machines, is closely related to the ACG industry, which should be out of reach.
Examples of animation, animation, and games linking up with "Pachinko" are common, and the trend is increasing year by year.
For a long time in the past, the target users of "Pachinko" were the elderly and housewives who had money and a lot of free time.
However, as the economy continues to slump and business restrictions continue to be introduced, "Pachinko" merchants need to expand new customer sources.
So they focused on the ACG industry and introduced a simple and crude marketing method - bundling popular IPs.
This initiative went extremely smoothly in Japan, attracting a large number of young people to become pachinko consumer groups.
Money can make all the difference. Although it will bring infamy for promoting gambling to make shady money, there are still many IPs that have embraced the "Pachinko" industry in order to raise funds. There are many unpopular works in the animation industry that rely on sales.
An example of making money from the copyright of "Pachinko" and then filming a sequel.
Although it sounds a bit darkly humorous, some small animation studios that own the copyrights of unpopular masterpieces and are at risk of bankruptcy due to various reasons will really be resurrected and rejuvenated by the capital injection of Pachinko.
It feels like a good family is forced to go to sea.
Even pachinko manufacturers, who have made a lot of dirty money and are rich, will directly take action and acquire some studios.
This situation developed later. In the ACG game industry, in addition to selling IP licenses, some game companies that hold IP will even directly sell it, without middlemen making the difference, and set up their own "Pachinko" departments and manufacturers.
Ensure that fertilizer and water do not flow to other people's fields.
