It was late at night and Kamiyagawa, who was about to go to bed, would not be tempted to drink rich black coffee.
He looked at Prajna's appearance, laughed secretly, and thought to himself: "Prajna is a traditional ghost story, but it is quite adept at modern furniture."
Not only can you do housework more efficiently, but you can even reward yourself with a hot drink after finishing your work.
But think about it.
In the Inunaki Pass map where Hannya is located, tunnels have been opened, cement roads have been paved, and there are even telephone booths.
"Maybe the weird stories are also entering modernization to varying degrees and keeping pace with the times." Kamiyagawa looked away from Hannya who was baring his teeth to protect food.
She can drink it if she wants.
"Remember to wash the cup after drinking." Kamiyakawa shrugged and ordered.
Speaking of which, it is quite surprising that Kaitan is actually interested in the food of strangers and seems to be able to taste food and drinks in the real world.
However, Kamiyagawa felt that it might be more pleasing to the eye to hold a cup of tea and sip it with Prajna's classical attire and temperament using a shiny tea set.
"Oh, it seems there is no tea at home."
That's okay.
In fact, consistent with Kamiyagawa's feeling, his tsundere shikigami is indeed happy to drink tea.
But after finishing the housework, Prajna carefully searched the small kitchen and found no tea.
I only found a box of instant coffee, which had been opened.
This box of instant coffee is a little different from the usual ones. It is pure black coffee, which is obviously instant, but it is the original flavor without the addition of creamer and saccharin.
Kamiyagawa himself would not buy something that seemed to be of high quality and high price.
This was a gift from Kawai Ikumi, the manager of the convenience store where he worked.
When I came back from a trip to Fukuoka along the Kamiya River, I brought Umeji mochi and Yame tea to the store manager as a travel gift.
Within a few days, the widow gave Kamiya this expensive imported instant coffee as a return gift.
This was Prajna's first time seeing coffee. He held the packaging box and studied it carefully for a long time. In the end, he estimated that this thing is similar to tea, and both are hot drinks.
I quietly made myself a cup.
At this time, Hannya was sitting upright on a stool. Seeing that Kamiyakawa just told him to wash the cup after drinking the hot drink, and other than that, he didn't give any other strange orders. He inexplicably showed a bit of pride as if he had won a battle.
expression.
"Huh-huh-"
Prajna blew on the rim of the mug.
Hold it high and take a sip with anticipation.
The warm black liquid flows through the base of the tongue and into the throat.
"Ahem!" The ghost girl coughed in a very humane voice.
meaning!
This stuff is astringent and bitter!
More bitter than any tea!
How could my onmyoji like to drink this kind of thing?
Kamiyakawa, who was packing up his books, raised his head and looked at his tsundere shikigami.
This guy... really didn't put sugar in his coffee, right?
Realizing that Kamiyakawa was staring at him again, Hannya pretended to be calm and turned cold.
No, you must not be underestimated. If you don’t finish drinking, you will lose!
With such a strange thought, Prajna tensed up and continued to sip the cup of bitter coffee without sugar. After a few sips, he could not help but frown slightly.
Kamiyakawa didn't say anything, just watched with interest.
After a while, the ghost girl finally drank the black liquid in the mug without wasting a drop.
Victory, but tastes bad.
My own Onmyoji has such strange taste!
Kamiyagawa, who had been watching the show, didn't speak slowly until this moment: "Is it bitter? You can add sugar or milk next time you drink it."
Prajna:!?
The ghost girl looked at her onmyoji with wide eyes, the two masks around her spinning at high speed.
This person definitely did it on purpose!
For a moment, Prajna wanted to pull off his smiling mask and put it on to fight with Kamiyagawa.
But think about it... let's forget it.
It's better to wash the cups.
hateful!
"snort."
Xiao Prajna glared at Kamiyagawa one last time with dissatisfaction, then jumped off the high stool and turned around to go to the small kitchen.
I don’t know why, but when fighting in the Kaitan World, this guy was always suspended in the air. But after staying at Kamiyagawa’s house for a while, she became more willing to walk on her feet.
Whether standing or sitting, she is similar to her owner and behaves more like a human being.
Wow——
The sound of the sink being flushed came from the small kitchen.
Kamiyagawa, who stayed in the room, couldn't help but laugh, thinking that it was quite interesting to get along with this little tsundere shikigami.
He turned his head and looked at the window of the room.
Outside, you can see the skyscrapers of Tokyo in the distance, all brightly lit. But the neon lights of the buildings never reach this low-rent apartment in a damp alley.
In the past evenings, when I was alone looking out the window into the distance, Kamiya River would always feel a little lonely and lonely, and my heart would feel empty and itchy.
But tonight, this feeling seemed to be washed away by the sound of flushing water in the kitchen.
"Is it because the ghost stories have added some life to my home?" Kamiyakawa thought as he lay down on the bed.
Seriously, this idea is weird.
But it’s not bad either.
"Hannya, if you want to go back to the Shikigami statue, you can go back by yourself at any time. I'm going to bed." Kamiya said to the kitchen.
The sound of flushing stopped.
Snap.
Someone gently turned off the lights in the room for Kamiyagawa.
…
Have a good night's sleep.
After Kamiyakawa woke up the next day, he first called Masao Nagatomo.
He was ready to accept the ghost-killing commission that was suspected to be from Zashiki Warashi.
There was no problem with Xiao Pingtou. The two made an appointment to meet at the edge of the school in two hours.
After hanging up the phone, Kamiyagawa whispered to himself:
"This is very likely to be the beginning of my spirit-removing business. If my strength can steadily increase in the future, it seems that it would be good to further develop the spirit-removing business in reality. I can make quite a lot of money in this business."
After briefly washing up, Kamiyagawa was ready to go out.
When he arrived at the edge of the school on time with the bread bought on the roadside in his mouth, Little Flathead was already waiting there early.
Sayuri Ishino didn't come today, so Masao Nagatomo was the only one to cooperate with the Kamiyagawa operation.
"Good morning, Nagatomo, have you been waiting for a long time?" Kamiyakawa swallowed the bread he was chewing.
"No, no. I just arrived too." Nagatomo smiled, then scratched the back of his head, and said hesitantly, "Um, Kamiya-san. The price of soul removal you mentioned yesterday..."
"That's right." Kamiyakawa nodded, and then made a gesture, "I won't ask you for more, 80,000."
On the way here, Kamiya tried to make some insinuations from [Purple Shangzhang] on the current market price of spirit removal.
Finally, I learned that if an ordinary exorcist goes out to do simple exorcism tasks, if he wants to do it with real swords and guns, the starting price must be at least 800,000 yen.
This is already a sewer level charge.
For slightly more powerful spiritual masters, if they take on difficult tasks, their fees will increase exponentially.
Soul removal is really profitable!
Kamiyagawa is quite conscientious. He feels that it is his first time to receive a commission for exorcism, so his hands are relatively raw. Moreover, considering that Masao Nagatomo is just a high school student like himself, he only charges 80,000 yen.
Big rewards for opening the business, skyrocketing property prices, and broken bones.
