So far there haven't been any troubles at all.

Surprisingly reliable!

Therefore, the exploration strategy for the Yoshikoji area can be left to Golden Bear and the others. Anyway, even if there is any unexpected thing or discovery, the little old man's clone following him will notify Kamiyagawa as soon as possible.

It's different when your family is wealthy.

In the past, land reclamation work in this area was done by Kamiyagawa Shiba with his own hands.

…

On the second day of Mary's promotion ceremony, Kamiyagawa temporarily called Tsurumi Aoi home.

The first time I met my young apprentice, one thing was certain -

The aura of blessing power in Tsurumi's body was no longer there.

Of course.

The power of blessing originally came from the divine skeleton of Mahakala and the divine consciousness of the blessed god who protected the skeleton.

Now neither the divine bones nor the divine consciousness exist anymore.

According to the God of Fortune, this contract of blessing and gifting to the Tsurumi family will be inherited by Mary.

As long as Mary's promotion is successfully completed and Yoshikoji Temple begins to enshrine Mary, the blessing should be able to take effect again.

At that time, the blessing on Tsurumi could no longer be called "the blessing of Mahakala", but the "blessing of Mary".

Speaking of which, the reason why this blessing contract exists seems to be related to the Tsurumi people's worship of Mahakala for generations, and it is also related to their family's bloodline and surname. In short, the connection between ordinary people and gods is not that

It can be established easily and requires the efforts of several generations.

It's a bit of a pity.

If the conditions for the blessing to take effect were not too cumbersome and harsh, I would have to give it to the eldest disciple...

In the living room of the Kamiya family.

The master and apprentice sat opposite each other.

"Tsurumi." Kamiyagawa's slightly shrunken pupils returned to normal size, and he stopped observing the young apprentice, "Do you feel that the blessing on you has changed?"

Tsurumi Aoi didn't reply, lowered her head, and the ponytail on the back of her head swayed listlessly. She just sat there, like an abandoned and extremely stubborn puppy.

Of course I feel it.

In fact, with Tsurumi's perceptual ability, it is difficult to feel the changes in the blessings on his body. But the current situation is——

I can no longer feel the power of blessing!

Intuitively speaking, Tsurumi Aoi felt that this matter should have a close relationship with Kamiya River.

After all, the teacher just did some tests on his blessings a week ago.

Then in a short period of time, the blessing power that had existed for many years mysteriously disappeared.

When something like this happened, what Tsurumi was thinking was not:

Teacher Kamiya actually took away my blessing.

But——

Teacher Kamiya can actually influence the power of ghosts and gods.

Even if the power of blessing was really taken away by Kamiyagawa, Tsurumi Aoi has not resented him so far.

Even the power given by the gods can be taken away, so if you are as weak as me, what complaints can you make?

"As long as...as long as he still regards me as his disciple and is still willing to teach me the way of the sword, that's all."

The silent Tsurumi Aoi thought this in her heart, and unconsciously clenched her right hand a little tighter.

She was a little scared.

He was afraid that Kamiyagawa would feel that he had no value without the blessing.

I was afraid that Kamiyagawa would say next: "Go away, Tsurumi, and never come back."

Could he be such a cold person?

If he really does this, what should he do? What can he do?

Tsurumi Aoi doesn't know, really doesn't know.

Then, the girl who was sitting on pins and needles heard her teacher speak in a gentle tone: "Tsurumi, frankly speaking, the change in your blessing has something to do with me."

He admitted it.

I admitted it lightly.

Tsurumi Aoi was so distraught that her chest felt tight and she could hardly breathe.

Anxious and restless, as if waiting for the butcher knife hanging above my head to fall.

Kamiyagawa: "But don't worry. The blessing on you has not disappeared. It will appear again after a while. I can guarantee that after the blessing on you reappears, it will be more controllable than before."

If nothing else goes wrong, the god who bestowed blessings on the Tsurumi family will later transform from Mahakala to Mary.

With Kamiyagawa's suggestion, the blessing will of course be more controllable.

"You said...what?" Tsurumi looked up blankly.

"The blessing on you will appear again." Kamiyagawa repeated, "But to realize this, we have to go and say hello to your father again."

"You...I..."

The unexpected reply made Tsurumi Aoi relax a little, but her heart beat even more chaotically.

Did you misunderstand the teacher?

Teacher Kamiya did not take away the blessing from himself, but wanted to make the power of blessing more stable?

And I was secretly speculating about him...

"Tsurumi?"

Kamiya looked at his young apprentice's extremely troubled and shaken expression and knew that he must be thinking a lot in his mind right now.

If a little deer faced the current situation, he would definitely ask himself questions like he was pouring beans into his mouth.

But Tsurumi doesn't do that.

She seems to be more accustomed to storing emotions and problems in her heart and then digesting them by herself.

"Tsurumi?"

"...Here!" The girl finally came to her senses and hurriedly straightened her back.

"The matter of blessing is a bit complicated and involves many accidents. I will try to explain it to you on our way to Ibaraki Prefecture to visit your father." Kamiya felt that he needed to explain it to his young apprentice.

Condition.
