408 Our Seven Mysteries: No Soba(1/2)
Kamiyagawa put away the sword and took the phone.
But the Zashiki boy who came to give him a mobile phone still stayed in front of him.
The little girl in a red and white kimono was looking up at Kamiya with her head raised, her nose slightly wrinkled, as if asking for credit.
"Yeah~"
The meaning of zashiki is probably very clear.
Abba, please praise me!
I got the phone to you before Little Mother Prajna saw the phone display!
Kamiyagawa glanced at Hannya and Mari who were sitting inside and outside the house. Judging from their calm expressions, he probably had confirmed who made the late night call.
The silly daughter is complacent after doing useless work.
And in Fu Bao's mind, what kind of image does he have as a father?
Do you think I have to carry someone behind my back to answer the phone?
This is prejudice! Probably... it's prejudice.
Although he thought so in his heart, Kamiya still rubbed Zashiki's head in cooperation.
Guitan's eldest daughter, who was a little too clever, jumped back to the living room.
"Zashiki is facing me like this, so he will probably be bullied by the dissatisfied Hannya later. But this is normal for the two of them. It may be because they have been bullied, so Zashiki will be more towards me..."
Kamiya felt a little helpless, and only then answered the phone that had been ringing for a while.
"Hello?" Master Kanazawa's voice rang from the other end of the phone, "Kamiya, I'm sorry, I called you so late to disturb your rest."
"It's okay, I haven't slept yet. What's wrong?"
"That's it, my side...that..." Kanazawa's tone was sarcastic. It sounded like he wanted to ask someone for help, but he couldn't speak easily.
"In trouble?"
Hearing Kamiya's question, Kanazawa Xingluo finally said: "I'm in some trouble, so I want Kamiya's help."
"What kind of thing it is, please tell me first."
Over at Honganji Temple, Kamiya still owes someone a favor.
During the previous winter vacation when Kanoya stayed at home, Master Kanazawa led him to practice Buddhism and mantras.
As a teacher, Kanazawa has always been dedicated to his responsibilities during that time.
Therefore, the young apprentice’s progress is quite rapid.
Kamiya, who is the temporary guardian of his apprentice, sees all these things.
If others have helped you, it is necessary for you to help them back.
What comes and goes, there is still something to be said about human nature.
Moreover, the spells taught by Kanoya at Honganji Temple are all superficial, so the favor he owes is not too big.
Based on previous interactions with him, Monk Kanazawa has a pretty good character, and he probably won't make any excessive demands.
"There have been several disappearances related to Kaidan here in Sumida. In fact, they are not considered disappearances. This will be a bit difficult to explain clearly for a while."
"Then what do you want me to do?"
"Kamiya, you have a Kaidan scout with a very good sense of perception, right? The Kaidan that you need to deal with is not too strong, and does not even seem to be harmful, but it is very weird. And we are currently unable to locate the location of the troublesome Kaidan, so we want to
With the help of your scouts."
The scout with excellent perception ability must be the little old man.
"OK."
Kamiya didn't ask too many questions and answered simply.
"It's great that you are willing to help. After the matter here is over, I will definitely apply to the temple to see if I can find some suitable advanced spells to teach to Kanoya Yukino." Kanazawa was obviously relaxed.
One breath.
Master Kanazawa, as her first practical preaching teacher, was aware of the situation of Xiaolu’s spiritual fetus.
It will definitely be of great benefit to the young apprentice to have the opportunity to advance to learn more in-depth spells in Honganji Temple.
And Kamiya felt that Kanazawa was quite cheerful when giving favors, but there was no need to be so coy when withdrawing favors.
But since people have taken the initiative to bring it up, there is definitely no need to refuse.
He is obviously thicker-skinned than Kanazawa Xingluo.
…
Sumida-ku, Tokyo.
After finishing the phone call with Kanazawa Seira, Kamiyagawa arrived here directly in the ghost Mazda.
Sumida Ward is considered to be the most town-like neighborhood in Tokyo.
The shape of the street is square and very regular, and the overall rhythm is slow and quiet compared to Tokyo as a whole.
You can see izakaya everywhere here.
Izakaya has become an important symbol in Japanese culture. It is a place that interprets the nightlife of ordinary people and can deeply experience the atmosphere of Japanese life. After get off work, meet up with close friends and have a few drinks to eliminate or reduce the fatigue of the day. This has become an essential part of life for the Japanese.
The small tavern is crowded and noisy, but it is always full of stories. Drinking and chatting, the fatigue is obvious, but while drinking and changing glasses, the heart is peaceful and warm. It is the best place for hardworking social animals to relieve the boredom and fatigue of a day at work.
place.
When we arrived at Sumida, it was already approaching midnight, and there were a few izakaya shops still open on the streets, with warm yellow lights.
Kamiya met Seira Kanazawa at the agreed place.
This young mage was not wearing monk robes, but was wearing ordinary casual clothes. He was followed by four people, probably people from the countermeasures room. The group looked a little tired.
In comparison, Kamiya, who has been on vacation recently, looked in high spirits. He was the first to say hello: "Good evening, Master Kanazawa."
"Good evening, Kamiya."
Kanazawa returned the favor with folded hands.
The few unfamiliar countermeasure room operators around him were probably very familiar with Kamiya, and they all said hello.
A few people chatted politely for a while, and Kamiyagawa got straight to the point: "So, what kind of strange disappearance is it? If you can't explain it clearly on the phone, you should be able to explain it now."
"Let's talk over here."
Next to Master Kanazawa and the others, a black business car, or a nanny car, was parked. The space inside was spacious, a little larger than a ghost car that had been upgraded once.
After getting into the car, Kanazawa handed over a case file.
Kamiya casually sat down comfortably on the soft leather seat, took the file and looked through it.

Kanazawa Monk: "In recent times, the frequency of ghost stories in various places seems to have become higher. The Honganji Temple is also very busy, and there are not enough manpower. It is really
sorry to bother you."
"It's okay, don't worry about it. You guys take care of that kid, I owe you." Kamiya responded casually.
"Child..."
Monk Kanazawa said this in a low voice.
He felt that Kamiya didn't look much older than Kanoya, but he always looked like a natural parent...
In addition, what Monk Kanazawa just said is also true.
It seems that judging from the situation in the Countermeasures Room, the number of ghost story activities throughout Japan has indeed increased again, especially after the Yumeo incident that affected the entire Kanto region ended.
As far as is known, Uncle Yuki didn't even take a vacation. After handling the foreign visit to one place, he took Nagatomo to Nagasaki to assist the local spirit exterminator.
Onizuka's side seems to have received a mission recently and went to Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture.
It feels like everyone is quite busy.
Kamiyagawa was entrusted by the people in the countermeasures room, so it was not surprising that he was mobilized.
rustle.
Flipping through the case files, you can quickly see what strange stories Kanazawa and the others are going to deal with this time. It is also written in the file:
[The strange story that caused the short-term disappearance of people in Sumida Ward is suspected to be Tomo Soba]
There is no buckwheat in the lamp. Kamiya knows this strange story.
A typical urban legend from the Edo period.
It is a ghost story set in "Honjo", which is today's Sumida Ward, and is also called one of the "Seven Mysteries of Honjo".
In the traditional Japanese folk art form "rakugo" (similar to stand-up comedy), performers often quote passages from "Honjo's Seven Mysteries" to arouse the curiosity of the people.
In addition, the so-called seven mysteries actually include more than seven kinds of weird stories. Generally speaking, there should be nine kinds.
There are actually nine of the seven mysteries, which makes sense.
The "Ashiarai Residence" that Kamiyagawa once encountered in the Living Fish Hotel also belongs to this ghost story series.
