Late at night, in front of the Dog Tunnel, a famous supernatural spot, we talked calmly for more than ten minutes.
The surroundings were so quiet that no insects could be heard, but the fire caused by those burning ghosts became much louder without any sound. If it continued to burn, it might really cause a fire.
Kamiyakawa no longer talked about spirit control with the strange uncle, but looked around: "By the way, Mr. Yuuki, is it really okay for us to chat casually like this? Inuning Mountain seems to be on fire."
"It's okay." Mr. Yuki waved his hand and said confidently, "I just called the fire alarm. They will be here soon. The firefighters have probably moved roadblocks at the intersection now. Besides, there is no wind tonight.
The fire won't be too big."
"That's good." Kamiya nodded.
It turns out that when Yuuki Makensuke just showed up, the phone call he made was the fire alarm number.
Although this uncle is a bit strange, he seems to be quite reliable in his work.
Moreover, there is indeed no wind tonight.
Just when Kamiyakawa was about to safely ignore the few fires in the forest.
jingle--
The sound of bells ringing came unexpectedly.
"ah……"
The little God of Fortune appeared at the edge of the Valley of Gods with an apologetic look on his face, and stretched out his hand to tug at the corner of his old father's clothes.
Mr. Yuki Masakisuke is also an onmyoji who can control shikigami, and his spiritual vision is not low, so he can also see Zashiki.
"Is this Zashiki Warashi? Do you have a second shikigami?"
This is not the first time tonight that this uncle was surprised by Kamiya River.
"Zashiki is not a shikigami." Kamiyakawa shook his head.
"Hiss, it seems so. I see clearly, she has descended from the spirit to follow you, right?" Yuki's eyes were still sharp, and he saw the essence of the matter in one go.
Then, he appreciated Kamiyagawa even more:
"It's not bad, boy. You can actually be favored by such a special monster as Zashiki Warashi. No wonder you were glowing with a very auspicious red aura when you just fought. Is it because Zashiki was helping you? Maybe you are better than I thought at first.
Even better."
It would be a pity not to absorb such a rising star into the organization!
"It's okay." Kamiyakawa said modestly.
"But, there is a question." Mr. Yuki touched his chin, "Why is your Zashiki Warashi emitting black energy? No, you are also emitting black energy."
Kamiyagawa: "Uh..."
As he spoke, a strong surge of air rose in the originally windless mountain forest.
got windy.
The evening breeze on a summer night can drive away the sultry heat and bring coolness.
but now……
Because there is a fire burning in Quanming Mountain, and when the strong wind blows, the flames spread out in all directions, and suddenly there are signs that it will become more intense.
The blazing tongues of fire even swept towards the entrance of the tunnel under the influence of the wind!
Yuuki Makensuke:???
Next to him, Kamiya just smiled helplessly and awkwardly at him: "Hehe..."
Now you know why I smell black...
Uncle Yuuki: "You're so handsome, boy! Get in the car quickly! Run!"
That night, a small but not too small mountain fire broke out in Inuning Mountain.
Fortunately, the follow-up fire truck arrived quickly.
Fortunately, Inunaki Pass was completely sealed off, and there was no living person nearby.
Fortunately, the unlucky old Kamiyagawa left in time, which slowed down the subsequent mountain wind.
In short, it didn't cause any big accident.
…
the next day.
Kamitani stayed in Fukuoka to rest.
Because he had to go to bed very late last night and there was a forest fire, he naturally went to bed very late.
It was already 12 noon when I got up.
Just after lunch, Kamiya received a call from Yuuki Makensuke.
It's... too late...
It was too late for Kamiyagawa to distance himself from this strange uncle Yuuki Makensuke.
Mr. Yuki's voice on the other end of the phone was a little breathless, probably because he was too tired from the work of removing ghosts last night.
However, the content of his speech was straight to the point:
"Boy, give me a bank account and I'll send you money."
Kamiya: "What are you doing? A strange uncle wants to keep a high school student?"
Yuuki: "What are you talking about? It's a reward. I will be rewarded for removing the spirit. But you actually killed the two aliens in Inunaki Pass, so the money will be divided between us."
Kamiya: "Oh! Thank you, uncle! Uncle is so kind!"
As soon as you mentioned the reward, Kamiyakawa became more energetic.
The uncle who gives pocket money to high school students is awesome!
Although Yuki Makisuke is very good at controlling spirits, his character is not bad, and he even actively asked to share the reward with Kamiya.
As an official exorcist, when he receives a task and works, he will naturally get paid.
However, since official people usually receive a basic salary, the extra bonuses they receive for performing ghost removal tasks will be much lower than those for private ghost removal missions.
Two aliens were cured in Inunaki Pass, the Speedy Mother-in-law is E-level, and the Earthbound Spirit is D-level. In total, the bonus will be about 2 million yen.
Of course, in order to get this money, Yuki had to collect some of the weak evil spirits left by the two expelled foreigners and keep them as vouchers to hand over.
In addition, you have to spend time compiling a detailed combat report.
Yuki: "I went to collect the two ghosts left behind by Kaitan in the morning. I estimate that the bonus given by the boss will be about 2 million, so I will share 1.4 million with you."
After hearing this, Kamiyakawa grinned happily.
He suddenly felt that there was no need to worry about breaking up with this weird uncle.
Yuuki: "But we agreed in advance. If I want to get this money, the credit for organizing the treatment of monsters over there will have to be attributed to me, otherwise it will be difficult to operate."
Kamiya: "It's okay, it's okay. It's all because of you, Mr. Yuuki, that I saw with my own eyes!"
joke.
I'm not an internal employee of your organization, so what's the point of asking for official credit?
Have you changed the citizen pennant?
This kind of fame is far less valuable than money, right?
As long as the money is available, I will suffer some losses and become an unsung hero.
"Okay, let's just say it like this. When I get the reward for exorcising the spirit, I will remit the money to you." Yuuki Makensuke said this and hung up the call.
Mr. Yuuki's status in the Special Investigation Countermeasures Room is not low, and the elimination of E-class monsters is not a big achievement for him.
D level is worth talking about.
But having said that, the main reason why he wants to take all the credit is to make it easier to get money later.
That kid from Kamiya is not an insider, and the removal of the ghost story in his name is a spontaneous act by civilians.
Can't get a penny.
And the uncle is indeed very kind to Kamiyagawa, after all, he loves talent.
Of the estimated bonus of 2 million yen, 70% was prepaid directly.
Of course, Kamiyagawa may make a profit, but Mr. Yuki will never lose.
When you go out to do a mission, in addition to the subsidy and rewards for exterminating evil spirits, there are also reimbursements.
Meal and travel expenses, as well as the cost of materials used to cure monsters, can all be reported.
Especially the consumption of spiritual removal materials.
When I was feeling sick, I used a lot of paper cigarettes, which can be reimbursed.
There are also special silver bullets to exorcise spirits.
Yuki planned to explain in the report that he encountered the earthbound spirit Furuta Yuji and a group of burn ghosts at the entrance of the old Inunaki Tunnel, and then he summoned the Rift Girl to fight hard and fulfill his mission to win.
Such a big battle.
Isn’t it too much to empty the magazine for several rounds?
"The reimbursement for soul-expelling silver bullets is only 60 bullets... Well, no, 80 bullets, it seems the battle is very fierce."
After Mr. Yuuki hung up the phone, he began to type up the draft report and reimbursement form.
