Now in this world, at home in Kamiyagawa.
Kamiya woke up from the big bed in the master bedroom, quickly got up and went downstairs.
He had to go and see what happened to his little apprentice.
Quickly walking to the door of the living room, Kamiyakawa saw the strange monsters in the house, Xiaolu and her shikigami all gathered here.
In addition, the Dream-Eating Tapir is also in the living room.
Because Kamiya needs to go to Takamagahara to "log out" when he comes out of the ordinary world, but as Kamiya's shikigami, the little tapir can use Kamiya's body left in the real world as a basis to appear directly and move freely within a certain range.
.
So she got there faster than Kamiya.
In the living room——
The little tapir, which has transformed into an adult form, is sitting sideways with its slender legs together.
The little apprentice Tsurumi Aoi rested her head on the little tapir's thigh and seemed to be in a deep sleep, but her breathing was very steady.
Beside the two of them were Kanoya and Kosodete, who had taken on a human form.
The fawn was holding the little pink-furred weasel in its arms, and was stretching its neck to look at the peaceful sleeping face of the junior sister.
Xiaoxiu Shou sat quietly and dignifiedly, lowering his eyes to quietly observe his master's condition.
Observing the emotional changes of the two of them, it can be seen that their emotions have changed from the original nervousness and anxiety to stability and curiosity.
In the corner of the living room, Ayori, Hayami Obara, and the little kappa Miyako were gathering together.
Caizhi held a roughly carved wooden dragonfly in her hands, and colorful and gorgeous oil paint flowed down from her hands and the hem of her princess dress.
The three girls all tilted their heads and looked at the wooden dragonfly seriously.
"How is Aoi?"
Kamiyagawa walked into the living room.
"It's okay, owner, look, Aoi is sleeping soundly."
The little tapir was the first to reply. As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to help Tsurumi smooth some soft, black strands of hair around his ears.
"Is this a question of whether you sleep well or not..." In fact, just looking at the state of everyone in the living room at this time, and the atmosphere that has become less tense, Kamiya can know that Tsurumi must be fine.
, “What happened?”
"Master, let me tell you! Well..."
The deer hurriedly spoke.
As someone who had been staying with Tsurumi just now and saw the entire incident, she did have the right to speak.
However, as soon as the words came out, he paused.
I saw the little deer hurriedly gathering up the several drawings spread out on the small table in front of him and stuffing them all into his handbag.
Her expression looked slightly guilty, but she tried to straighten her expression:
"Xiao Kui was sitting here just now, reading notes related to the art of controlling spirits. I was also reviewing that with her! Then suddenly, the wooden dragonfly on the TV cabinet flipped over, and I smelled a metal smell.
The smell rolled around the two of us, and before I could react, Xiaokui fell down with a thud!"
Probably because he had learned from Little Tapir that his junior sister was fine, Kanoya relaxed his mind and used his body movements to describe the incident vividly.
Kamiya glanced helplessly at the handbag at Xiaolu's feet, and then turned to look at the wooden dragonfly being held by Little Crayon Aori.
Is it really the influence of that thing?
Honda Tadakatsu’s Wood Dragonfly.
This old handicraft was a trophy obtained by Kamiyagawa when he took his two apprentices out on a mission to remove ghosts earlier.
It was obtained by the young apprentices after they defeated two ferocious red basin monsters.
Later, after identification, it was found that the wood dragonfly itself was not a particularly valuable prop, and could at most be used as a support for weak wandering spirits.
However, considering that the wood carving was made by the famous Japanese Warring States general Honda Tadakatsu, it can be considered to have certain humanistic value and collection significance. So after acquiring it, Kamiyagawa casually placed this wooden dragonfly on the TV cabinet in the living room as a
Decoration.
"Just now in Santu River..."
Kamiyakawa thought of what happened in Santuchuan just now.
Xiang Yuexun said that some souls of human heroes who were about to decay but were powerful during their lifetimes were guided by the power of Yama's bones and passed away first.
Are Honda Tadakatsu among the souls of human heroes who passed away?
Think about it this way, what happens in the ordinary world and reality is not a coincidence, but a chain.
"So, it may be that Honda Tadakatsu's soul left Santukawa and was about to pass away, but it came back and attached itself to this wooden sculpture carved by him during his lifetime?" Kamiyakawa thought this way.
So, why did Honda Tadakatsu drag Tsurumi, who was beside the wooden sculpture, into a dream?
Do you have some unfulfilled wish?
"Little Tapir, Tsurumi, what did she dream about?"
"I can take everyone to see Puff."
The little tapir gently touched Tsurumi's head with his hand, and immediately a complex and confusing rainbow light overflowed from both of them. The dreamy colored light spread to all parts of the living room, flickering on and off, making the surrounding people
Everything seems dreamy and unrealistic.
Then, those arc lights were extinguished one by one, and the surroundings of Kamiya and others suddenly became empty.
Looking at the surrounding environment, it is no longer the living room at home.
Instead, it is a dry landscape style courtyard decorated with finely raked sand, stone lanterns, evergreen trees, moss and other scenery, without any modern elements.
Although the little tapir usually likes to sleep and is not active, he is particularly attentive to the instructions of his owner Kamiyagawa.
Because of the owner's words, she directly brought everyone in the living room into Tsurumi's dream, or in other words, she directly moved the scene in Tsurumi's dream into reality.
After becoming a god, the little tapir became more and more able to control these virtual and real authorities.
…
"here it is?"
Tsurumi Aoi narrowed her eyes and looked around, finding that she was in a completely unfamiliar environment.
An antique spacious courtyard.
The ground is covered with white sand, and a unique stone group stands in the corner of the courtyard. It has a Zen-like dry landscape courtyard style, which is somewhat similar to the courtyard at Yoshikoji's house.
The landscape of this courtyard is clearly clear and vivid, but upon closer inspection, there is a vague sense of unreality and illusion.
At this time, Tsurumi's consciousness was very clear.
She remembered what happened just now, she remembered it very clearly——
This afternoon, it was rare for me and my senior sister to take a half-day break and not have to do any special practice.
As usual, even on his day off, Tsurumi spent time at Kamiya-sensei's house, but the teacher left for his usual life at noon.
Teacher Kamiya is very busy.
Tsurumi was staying in the living room at home with her senior sister. She was looking through past notes on spiritual control knowledge points, while her senior sister was sitting aside and drawing.
Painting seems to be one of senior sister's daily ways to relax.
As for Xiaolu's paintings, Tsurumi was also lucky enough to read them. They are comics about exorcism.
The protagonist is a young exorcist, a bit like... Mr. Kamiya from the Shota period?
The senior sister painted the little boy protagonist very cutely.
Then, my senior sister is very talented in painting and can draw comics very well.
The only flaw is that the hand-drawn comics that Xiaolu showed Tsurumi are all incoherent. Often after the protagonist encounters a monster, turning the next page will show the ending of the battle, and the exorcism battle is completely skipped.
Already.
Tsurumi also asked why he didn’t draw the plot related to the battle against ghosts.
The senior sister has never answered directly.
To be continued...
