This is a story that her father, Taro Kono, often told Natsuki when she was little.
It is difficult to tell which parts of the story are true and which were later artistically processed.
But in Kono Natsuki's memory, when her grandma passed away, she seemed to have seen an unknown young lady, kneeling beside her grandma, crying extremely sadly.
However, after all, that is a memory from when I was four years old.
It's hard to say whether he really saw it or not.
In Natsuki’s impression, his father, Taro Kono, would always use this to start family education after telling the story of Zashiki-sama in his own family:
"If you are lazy about food and lazy about work, you will become a person that Zashiki-sama hates."
"If there is someone in the family who is not enterprising, Zashiki-sama will stand beside him with a shameful face like this."
"If you are disliked by Zashiki-sama, you will not be protected. The family's money will be scattered, the family will be at odds, and in the end the home will not feel like home. Then Zashiki-sama will leave disappointed."
These are all childhood memories, very immature.
Especially after her father's death, Natsuki almost forgot all these things.
But just now, all these memories came to my mind for no reason.
The money is gone and the family is at odds.
Aren’t you talking about your own home now?
Natsuki remembered just now again.
An hour ago, Nagatomo Ryuhei came back and shouted loudly that he could not sell the golden ball bell to anyone.
At that time, Natsuki felt confused and didn't understand what Longhei was talking about.
The two used this as a topic and started to quarrel, push and pull.
Only now did Natsuki come to her senses. The way Ryuhei acted and said those words was because he wanted to continue to occupy Zashiki-sama in the bell.
Even if he didn't know about Zashiki, the bell was with Longhei during this period, and he must have felt that the bell was unusual.
How ridiculous.
"Obviously, the way Longhei is now is what Zashiki-sama hates the most."
Perhaps, when Longhei was gambling in the casino, Master Zashiki was just staring at him with a sad face, right?
Kono Natsuki felt sad again.
My home is in such a bad state, Zashiki-sama will definitely be disgusted by this look.
Then what dignity can there be to keep her?
"Kamiya-kun, Zashiki-sama doesn't like people who are lazy and lazy, so don't become the person she hates."
Natsuki said this to Kamiyagawa.
The latter was silent for a while and nodded: "I understand."
In fact, Kono Natsuki is not sure whether Kamiyagawa is qualified to take Zashiki-sama home.
But she didn't think it was something she needed to worry about.
Children who grew up in Iwate Prefecture have a simple subconscious understanding. They think that Zashiki Warashi is the god who protects the happiness of the family.
Mortals don't need to worry about the affairs of the gods.
If Kamiyagawa was not an excellent person, he would definitely be hated by Zashiki-sama.
Just like your own home.
Then Zashiki-sama will leave on his own and continue to find a more suitable family to stay in.
This has always been said in the legend of Zashiki Warashi spread in Iwate Prefecture.
After listening to Kono Natsuki recalling the past, Kamiyagawa seemed to have successfully obtained the ownership of the Golden Ball Bell from the other party.
After that, Aunt Natsuki didn't seem to want to continue talking.
It's like being immersed in memories.
She looked very depressed, as if she was a bit sadder than when he first saw her.
…
After successfully obtaining the Golden Ball Bell by accident, Kamiyagawa no longer stayed at Nagatomo's house for a long time.
I feel that it would be better for mother and son to be alone for the rest of the time.
Before leaving, Kamiyagawa pulled Nagatomo Masao aside: "There is one more thing."
As he spoke, he took out the IOU worth 1.03 million yen.
Seeing this thing, Xiao Bangtou's expression became slightly embarrassed, but his tone of speech was sincere:
"Kamiya-kun, if Nagatomo Ryuhei doesn't pay you back, I will also find a way to pay you back. It just may take a little longer, I'm sorry."
"That's not what I want to say." Kamiyagawa shrugged, "In fact, I didn't pay off your father's gambling debt this afternoon."
"ah?"
Kamiya: "Do I look like the kind of rich person who can easily take out 1 million in liquid cash?"
After hearing this, Nagatomo Masao's expression was confused at first, and then became like waking up from a dream.
yes!
When Kamiya-kun was at the casino in the afternoon, did he really use the POS machine?
Looking back now, it seems that there is no such thing.
Nagatomo witnessed a magical ability of Kamiyagawa today——
When I was expelled by the Yakuza outside the casino; when I was stopped by the Yakuza in the casino office.
Kamiya-san dismissed all those people with just a few words.
Xiaopingtou guessed that Kamiya-san probably has a strange ability that can distort ordinary people's perception of objective things.
I can only say that he is worthy of being a spiritual exterminator, he is really awesome.
"So, when you were 'paying off your gambling debts,' did you use that ability to influence everyone in the office?" Masao Nagatomo responded.
"That's right." Kamiyagawa snapped his fingers, "Also remember to remind your father that the Yakuza will very likely find that the debt has not been repaid at all. If he is not aware of this, he may
I will be inexplicably pulled to have my little finger amputated."
The ability of [Thousand Silver Needles] is to weave lies.
But a lie is a lie and cannot be considered true.
People affected by the effect of [Thousand Silver Needles] will have a high probability of waking up after being exposed to some objective facts that conflict with the previous lie as time goes by.
Just like Xiao Pingtou, he got rid of the state of being blinded by lies just because of a word from Kamiyagawa himself.
As for those extreme ones.
If they have the habit of keeping accounts and checking accounts, then after checking the accounts this month and finding out the vacancies, they will naturally discover that there is a problem with Nagatomo Ryuhei's debt, and then wake up from the lie weaved by "A Thousand Silver Needles".
Kamiyagawa put the IOU into Nagatomo Masao's hand:
"So, please keep the IOU and leave me a bank number. The 1.03 million yen will be used as compensation for me to pick up Zashiki Warashi from your home. After deducting my 80,000 yen commission for removing spirits, the remaining 950,000 yen will be used as compensation."
, I will remit it to you and Aunt Natsuki."
Kamiya did have the intention to transfer 1.03 million yen to Nagatomo's family.
Instead of directly helping Nagatomo Ryuhei, that gambling dog, to pay off his gambling debts, he planned to hand over the money to Xiao Pingtou and Aunt Natsuki, and let them handle it on their own.
Because there is a dog gambler in the family, Nagatomo's family obviously has no liquidity at the moment.
With Nagatomo Ryuhei's virtue, it's hard to say whether he can really repay the 1 million yen he owes to the Yakuza.
Therefore, the little flat-headed mother and her son are at risk of being troubled by the Yakuza in the future.
With this one million yen backing, at least in the short term, the threat posed by falling into the extreme realm can be avoided.
When you take a zashiki boy away from someone else's home, you have to at least do something for them, otherwise you will feel a little guilty in your conscience.
As for what will happen to the Nagatomo family in the future, Xiaopingtou can probably only rely on him.
Everyone's life experiences are different. What the future will be like and where it will go, in the final analysis, you still have to rely on yourself.
Kamiyagawa feels that this is enough to help.
In addition, one thing is the same thing.
Taking away Zashiki Warashi means that the ghost extermination mission entrusted by Masao Nagatomo has been officially completed, and the commission of 80,000 yen still needs to be collected.
