After dealing with Touyamayan and releasing the strangers trapped in the inner world, Kamiyagawa's life has become much more relaxed recently.
Even the young co-master of ghosts and gods needs a rest.
These days, his main activities in the inner world are more leisurely. They mainly clean up the remaining mobs and explore the map. When he is tired, he hangs up in the spirit dojo in Takamagahara to gain proficiency in [Spirit Taming Technique].
The Aokigahara Sea of Trees is so big that it will probably take a lot of time to clear out the main exploration missions.
In addition, while doing the exploration mission, Kamiya would also take Fu Bao and the little old man to look for minerals at the mark of the [Aokigahara Mineral Deposit Map (Inside World)].
[Aokigahara Mineral Deposit Map (no rating for special props): A map marking the location of a special mineral deposit in Aokigahara. The map itself is the key prop to unlock the mineral deposit.]
This mineral deposit map should be a good thing, but it is too abstract.
Kamiya has not yet found the correct corresponding location of the marker point in the sea of trees.
But this is not a big problem.
[Aokigahara Sea of Trees] is big, but the area will not increase. If you spend more time looking for it with a mineral map, you will always find it.
As for the real world, Kamiyagawa rarely lived a normal male high school life for a few days.
However, he did not relax in his daily physical exercise. He also found time to ride a ghost horse to the special investigation and countermeasures room to practice gun shooting.
Then I chatted with Onizuka Miko on Line every day to connect with each other, and at the same time, I also asked for some theoretical knowledge related to Japanese mythology.
Since acquiring "The Broken Divine Remains of Konohana Kaiyahime", Kamiyagawa has begun to consciously understand Japanese mythology.
Also, taking advantage of his recent free time, his plan to move to a new home finally started to be implemented.
Because there are more and more shikigami monsters under his command, and several of them like to do activities at home, Kamiyagawa has long wanted to move to a new home.
Recently, I have been actively looking for houses for rent or for sale near Tokyo that are extremely cheap.
…
Today is Saturday.
During the day, Kamiyagawa went to the Special Investigation and Countermeasures Room and got a copy of the "Return of the Stranger from Kisaragi Station" file from Uncle Yuki.
Later, I went to the training ground on the second floor of the countermeasures room to practice shooting, and shot targets for two hours.
When he got home, the first thing he did was to take out the [Gao Tianyuan Shenhu] and go to the other world.
The sea of trees in the underworld is dark and quiet.
Kamiyagawa rode on the Inugami, which had the advantage of moving in the mountainous terrain, and spent some time arriving at Yamama's residence.
The mountain lair's residence, which once looked like an old hot spring hotel, is now only a ruined building.
"I'll stay here for a while, and you go back to the shikigami statue."
Kamiyagawa skillfully jumped off the dog's back and patted the dog's hard head.
"Woof woof."
The dog god gave a low bark, then gently nudged his master with his head, and disappeared obediently.
From the perspective of completing exploration missions, the area around Shan Lao's Residence has actually been explored, so there is no need to come back again.
But Kamiya’s trip here was not for a mission.
He walked through the ruins of his grandmother's house on the mountain and came to an open space behind the original house.
This is the place where the strangers who stayed here before held a ceremony to worship the mountain grandmother.
There is a Fuji Mound in the open space. The surrounding vegetation is withered and decadent, making it look lonely and desolate.
The Fujizuka, which is about five meters high, is completely made of black volcanic rocks. On the "top of the mountain" stands a small shrine about half a meter high.
The nomination above is "Asama Ogami, Ogosho's Servant God".
This is the former shrine of Yamala.
Thinking back on what happened in Aokigahara——
It seems that the relationship between Yamabiko, "Hasumi" and Yamala is very complicated, and there are some details that Kamiyagawa still does not fully understand.
But he knew that when Shan Yan and "Hasumi" destroyed Shan Lao's residence and caused the monsters in the sea of trees to massacre the strangers, Shan Lao kept his promise to "Lord Thunder God" and stood up in time to provide protection to the strangers.
The little old man has already reported this matter.
Kamiyagawa stood under Fujizuka for a while without much expression on his face.
After a long silence, he stepped up to the top of the tomb.
And he took out a small requiem candle from the [Mirage Bag], gently bent down, and placed the candle in front of the Yamalao Shrine.
The candle wick was lit silently.
The bright white candle flame rose slowly, with a heavy and quiet feeling, not moving at all, just burning quietly.
A transparent candle flame came out, but it was quickly blown away by the forest wind.
This requiem candle was not lit next to the shikigami or shikigami statues, nor was it offered to anyone to drink. Kamiyagawa simply allowed it to be consumed.
This behavior seems a bit wasteful and pointless.
"Hehe-haha"
"Kaka——"
Because the scent of the candlelight from the burning requiem candle was not absorbed at all, but was blown away by the wind.
In the sea of trees, some small monsters wandering near Shan Lao's residence were attracted by the smell.
Kamiyagawa jumped down from the Black Tomb Mountain in two steps, stood still and took out [The Banshee].
The muzzle of the pitch-black musket was pointed at the sky.
A piercing gunshot sounded like the wail of a banshee, and iron pellets carrying a huge thunderous aura broke out of the air, exploding into a ferocious purple and white light in mid-air, roaring and roaring.
After the surging thunder exploded, silence returned to the forest.
"It's a pity that I can't bring in the file information that Uncle Yuki gave me, otherwise it could be burned here."
Kamiya put away the musket and thought this way.
A clearing with withered vegetation.
Kamiyagawa, wearing a black patterned haori with a letter hanging on his waist, stood quietly with his head bowed. The wind blowing from the surrounding mountains and forests rustled his sleeves and hem.
Behind him, there were ruins and ruins, leaving only a desolate mountain aunt's residence.
In front of him was a mound mountain made of black volcanic rocks, with the Yamara Shrine standing on the top of the mountain.
In front of the red door of the shrine, there is a white candle. The rope bells that decorate the shrine are swaying gently in the wind, but the bright white candle the size of a rice grain is not moving at all, just burning quietly, thick and peaceful...
…
That night, Kamiyakawa stayed for a long time next to Shan Lao's house.
…
"?A real man, a real man, a real man..."
The phone rings.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Mr. Kamiya?"
"Ah you are?"
"This is Doi, Doi Kazushi. We talked on the phone before. This time I'm calling you to ask if you have time to look at the house?"
"ah……"
Taking advantage of the school lunch break, Kamiyagawa was sitting on the rooftop enjoying the breeze while eating a hand-made Hannya bento. He picked up the phone that he had just picked up without looking carefully and looked at the notes. It was indeed a property that he had contacted before.
intermediary.
These days, he is preparing to move and has frequent contact with the real estate agency.
I also took the time to look at a few houses, but I was not satisfied with anything yet.
Agents are very glib and make fantastic claims when selling properties on the phone or online, but when you go to see the house in reality, you will find that it is not the case at all.
They say that a house that "lives near a lake, interpreting a romantic style" may just have a small pond next to it; they say that a house that "lives in a forest oxygen bar, a secret place for longevity" may just have a few trees around it.
However, for Kamiyagawa, this kind of exaggerated propaganda didn't really matter, since he didn't believe it in the first place.
There was only one reason why he was really dissatisfied with the houses he had seen——
There is no dirt in those houses.
As a result, the rent or sales price are too high.
Not interesting.
The exorcist should live in a haunted house.
The discounts at Haunted Mansion are huge no matter how you think about it, and you can enjoy real benefits by relying on your skills!
Kamiyagawa put the phone back to his ear: "Do you have the house I want there?"
"Yes. I have made notes about your needs - large area, many rooms, but the price should be cheap. There is no requirement for the location, it can be a remote area. The key point is a special property that can accept the abnormal death of the previous owner."
Agent Doi's voice paused, "I do have a house like this here."
"Where is it? How big is it? How cheap is it?"
"In Arakawa Ward, a one-family house with a land area of 68 square meters and a house area of 50 square meters is priced at 22 million yen. There is still room for improvement in the price. Do you want to take a look?"
"Look. I'm not free during the day. Can I do it at night?"
…
In Japan, the so-called "one-family house" refers to a self-built house, which can be understood as a single-family villa.
Like in anime, the "Nobi family" or "Nohara family" is a standard one-family house.
Most single-family houses are two-story buildings with their own yards or gardens, and some also have garages.
Like the one introduced to Kamiya by Doi's agency, the land area is 68 square meters and the house area is 50 square meters. There is a high probability that it will have an 18 square meters yard.
(One square meter in Japan is approximately equal to 3.3 square meters)
Let’s talk about the location.
Because Kamiyagawa has no requirements for location and wants to be cheap. The houses found under this requirement are basically located in the suburbs.
Arakawa District.
A relatively remote area of Tokyo was a farmland a long time ago.
Kamiyagawa's personal feeling is that among the 23 wards in Tokyo, Arakawa Ward, Itabashi Ward, Katsushika Ward and many other areas are tied for second to last in terms of development.
The last place is Adachi City.
Arakawa Ward gives people the impression that it is poor and cheap, but at least it is clean.
Adachi City gives people the impression that it is poor, cheap, dirty and messy.
However, this doesn't matter much.
Anyway, the new home Kamiya River needs does not have much demand for location or transportation.
There's the ghost Mazda, and there's Shunma Oishi, a driver who calls himself "The Yellow Comet of Akagi," and it's convenient and fast for him to go wherever he wants to go.
Finally, there is the issue of price.
In Japan, the price of a single-family house is generally much lower than that of a suite apartment. Therefore, there is a joking saying that "the poor live in villas and the rich live in apartments."
In addition, Arakawa Ward is a suburb of Tokyo.
Therefore, it is reasonable for the house recommended by Doi Agency to be relatively low-priced.
But after all, it is a house located in Tokyo. Even if the price is low, there will be a limit.
According to what Kamiya has learned these days, for a single-family house with a land area of about 65 square meters in Arakawa District, even if the seller is in urgent need of money, it will cost more than 40 million yen.
Around 50 million is considered a normal price.
The set recommended by Doi Agency only costs over 20 million, which is half the normal price.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
"I don't believe that this house with such a bargain price is not haunted. As long as I buy it, I will make a net profit of 20 million!"
Kamitani hung up the phone with an excited expression. The spirit-killer radar in his body must have activated.
"But it's a pity. It seems that it is only for sale but not for rent. I can't get 20 million yen on hand, which is nearly half short... But let's go and see it first. It's a rare and cheap haunted house. It would be a pity not to go and see it."
Kamiya’s small treasury is actually quite full at the moment——
I met Uncle Yuuki for the first time when I was recuperating the high-speed mother-in-law and the earthbound spirit at Inunaki Pass. For the purpose of wining over, the uncle generously gave a large portion of 1.4 million yen from his spirit removal reward to Kamiyagawa.
Subsequently, he participated in two major operations against the Fairy Lady and the God of Epidemic, both of which played a key role.
A total of 7.525 million yen was received in remuneration for the two operations.
The money for rescuing the strangers at Kisaragi Station was obtained in the past two days. Uncle Yuuki acted properly and helped Kamiya approve 2 million.
In addition, I received a commission to exorcise evil spirits for the Zhengmu family, and received a reward of 800,000 yuan.
Finally, counting the little savings from the past, Kamiyagawa's total wealth is almost 12 million yen.
Although ten million yen is not a very, very large amount, Kamiya earned it in less than a year.
He can be considered young and promising.
…
School was over that day, in the evening.
Kamiyagawa went to Arakawa and met Mr. Doi, the agent on the phone.
Doi is a man in his 30s, wearing a suit and leather shoes, with somewhat sparse hair.
When they first met, Doi was a little surprised by the age of this customer.
But he was dismissed casually by Kamiyagawa with [Thousand Silver Needles].
In addition, there are indeed restrictions on minors applying for home purchase loans, but there are no restrictions on buying a house. As long as you have money, you can buy it at any age.
Moreover, Kamiya will be 18 years old at the end of this year.
The two met and chatted for a few words, then got into Mr. Doi's car and headed towards their destination.
The one-family house sold at a low price is located in Higashiojiu, Arakawa.
The surrounding environment is surprisingly good, the road outside the door is spacious and clean, and the street lights are bright.
The houses in this area are all built per family, and the distance between each family is quite far.
The one-family house for sale is a two-story building. The building looks quite impressive, not old-fashioned. And as expected, it comes with a large courtyard. It is obvious that no one has taken care of the yard for a long time, which makes it look a bit...
barren.
The most satisfying thing is that this house also has a garage.
Kamiyakawa stood at the door for a while, and his black pupils suddenly shrank slightly, becoming deep and perceptive.
He could feel that there was an evil atmosphere in this house.
Right.
"The house looks very nice from the outside, let's go in and take a look?" Kamiya turned around and greeted.
"Uh, inside...yes, look inside."
Mr. Doi scratched the top of his head with little hair and stuttered slightly. After taking a deep breath, he took out the key from his pocket and stepped forward.
As he opened the door, he quietly built himself up mentally:
"It's okay, it's okay even at night. Huh - it's important to make money... Even though this house is a bit weird, didn't the previous owners who bought it have nothing major problems in the end? Look, it's okay.
