765 Night Tour Club and Journal 'Hundred Ghosts Night Tour'
"po~po~po~"
A white suspender dress with a slightly transparent texture floated out from beside the statue of Jizo, accompanied by the iconic voice of the Eight-foot Girl.
"Basha, your Jizo statue is cracked..."
"Yes." The eight-foot girl raised her hand and pulled the brim of her wide-brimmed round hat, her beautiful and smooth long black hair flowing. "But haven't you prepared a new home for me? Our love nest."
"Correction, this is your shrine, nothing more." Kamiyagawa chose a suitable location next to the shrine and placed the "Shrine of Lust and Transformation" among the various shrine buildings.
"It's really confusing."
"are you ready?"
"Of course, my Lord Kamiya."
The eyes and tone of the eight-foot girl were ambiguous, and she leaned slightly to get closer to Kamiyagawa.
The long skirt with high slits was swayed by the wind in the cherry blossom forest, emitting a rich but not pungent woody aroma. The loose white skirt fit tightly around her body, and the smooth fabric had a curvy figure.
, illuminated by the dim sunlight of the school, its outline is vaguely visible.
The wind and the light seemed to have plump and graceful charming shapes at this moment.
"good."
Kamiyakawa maintained a serious posture and took out a silver-plated shikigami statue from the [Mirage Bag].
This was something he had communicated with Bachi Nu more than a month ago.
When the shrine is built, Kamiya will formally sign a shikigami contract with Hachishanu.
It is for this reason that "Negiki" is used in "Lust and Transformation Shrine".
All shikigami shrines under Kamiya use this kind of material.
The biggest role of Nimu is to cooperate with the link of the shikigami contract to feed back the power of faith obtained by the shikigami, which is the so-called "spiritual" power in the "flesh and spirit bones", back to the Valley of Gods.
"Becoming a shikigami, although you can greatly improve resource utilization with the help of shikigami, shikigami statues and spirit control techniques. But on the contrary, your freedom will be greatly restricted from now on."
"Haven't I always been by your side these past two years?" Bachi Nu said with a relaxed smile.
For her, this is no problem at all.
"That's what I said."
"Besides, there is no need to worry about Yukino's child now. In other words, the current Kamiya-sama no longer looks down on a lowly youkai like me. He is so heartless and gives up after all." The Yatsushaku woman said in a rather resentful tone.
, and pretended to wipe away tears that did not exist.
"...We haven't messed up."
The matter of the contract with the eight-footed girl was actually mentioned when Kamiya first went to Ouri Island to find the red stingray bone.
Kamiyagawa finally remembered that at that time, Hachishanu had said——
"When the day comes when Yukino can completely control her innate spiritual energy and her body will not be harmed by the spiritual energy, I will be happy to break the Jizo statue with my own hands and become your shikigami."
Now it seems that she was serious when she said that.
Therefore, the sudden cracking of the Ksitigarbha statue is probably not entirely due to the increase in the strength of the eight-foot girl.
Is it a manifestation of her determination to become a Kamiya Shikigami?
After all, now I really don’t have to worry about that girl from Luye House anymore.
Xiaolu became a disciple of Shengu, and along the way, he learned the techniques of various sects. As a "spiritual fetus", the chaotic innate spiritual power in his body has long since become conditioned and manageable due to the high-intensity training and use of techniques.
Take control.
So much so that in the current spirit-killing industry, Xiaolu's strength can be regarded as an elite.
There is no need to worry about her passing away prematurely like her mother and grandmother.
That girl will definitely live a long life.
It is not impossible to even follow Master's chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven in the future.
Let’s go back to the shikigami contract that Kamiyagawa and Hachisaku-onna are about to reach.
For now, the first priority for the operation of the Kamiya force is to cultivate as many A-level gods as possible.
As for S-class gods...
Kamiya still doesn’t know how to cultivate an S-class god.
To be more precise, I don’t know how to cultivate an S-class god in a short period of time, within one or two years.
His friend the medicine seller has an S rating, but the medicine seller himself is a special craftsman.
Moreover, his ability to become an S-class craftsman god was mainly achieved through hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation.
Judging from Kamiyagawa's current training intensity, if Mari and Karasu Tengu were raised for hundreds or thousands of years, they should be able to gradually transform into S-class gods under the influence of strong incense and faith.
Of course, Kamiya will not reduce its resource investment in cultivating existing gods, but the process of cultivating S-level gods simply by relying on time is too long.
Therefore, the most effective way to enhance the strength of the force at the moment is to cultivate more A-level gods to serve as the mainstay.
After all, Kamiya knows how to use "spirit" and "bone" to cultivate A-level gods quickly and well.
He knows this well.
And becoming Kamiyagawa's shikigami means reducing freedom in exchange for faster growth and advancement.
To put it more bluntly, it is the reserve force of an A-level god.
Currently, there are seven half-shikigami in Kamiya.
Among them, Yama Dajun Xiangyue Xun is half.
Among the shikigami, Mari and Karasu Tengu have become gods.
Inugami is undergoing a promotion ceremony, and becoming a god is a sure thing.
There is also Prajna, her godhood ceremony has also been put on the agenda.
Once you accumulate more "spirit", you can start safely.
Among the remaining shikigami, there are the Kaguya who has the three goddesses of Munakata on his back; Kaoru Kozuki who is Yama himself and controls the Santo River; and the Dream Eater Tapir who has accepted the core power of the dream of the Immortal God of Otao, they all have it.
Corresponding Chengshen capital potential.
As a shikigami, he will continue to efficiently replenish his "spiritual" power through various channels. When he finds a suitable god's skeleton in the future, he should be able to smoothly become a god.
Finally, there is Xiaowu.
Satoru is very special. She is much weaker in terms of qualifications to become a god, and she is the accessory for the "Seven Emotions".
Moreover, she has "future vision" and is not good at battlefield combat.
The strategic significance is far greater than the actual combat significance on the battlefield.
Of course, Kamiyagawa will still try his best to raise his sister-in-law to become a god.
After all, "Future Vision" is really useful.
In addition to the existing shikigami, if you want to choose a suitable god reserve, the contract will give a large amount of "spiritual" resources to the shikigami. Looking at all the weird stories among the forces of Kamiya, the eight-foot-old girl is indeed relatively suitable.
one of.
Although she joined the Kamiya force a long time ago and is a veteran-level character, it seems a bit late to contract as a shikigami now.
But we finally made it.
Since he is a god reserve, of course he has to be selected from among the Aragami within the force.
Like the Spider Goddess of Kamui, Ibaraki Doji of Oeyama, and the Yata bird who temporarily lives in the Sanzu River.
They are already A-level gods, so they are not considered.
Choosing a god reserve, that is, the prerequisites for choosing a shikigami, can be roughly divided into three points -
First, it is the qualification to become a god.
Secondly, it serves as the foundation and foundation for Aragami to obtain the power of faith.
Finally, it is whether the target object is suitable to lose the permission to move freely at the moment.
Among the existing Aragami within the force, the vast majority do not satisfy the first point.
Except for the Sand Princess and the Crab Princess.
The two of them are each descendants of two ocean goddesses. As "Munakata", their potential to become gods is not as great as that of Whale, the king of the sea country, but they still have some potential.
However, the operation of the forces in Changshi is currently inseparable from Ji Ji and Crab Ji.
One of them is responsible for internal affairs and the other is responsible for security.
If pressed, Crab Princess might still be able to be forced out.
As for Isohime, her importance to the operation of Takamagahara's forces is no less than "the West cannot lose Jerusalem."
It was really difficult for her to sit in that position.
For the time being, we can't find a second demon ghost who can replace the position of the Mermaid Princess's internal affairs manager.
Unless the extremely intelligent Princess Bunche is transferred into the ordinary world, but in that case, problems will arise in the actual industrial operation again.
In short, let's wait for Crab Princess and Isabel Princess to cultivate a suitable successor.
Also, neither of them satisfied the second point.
When considering candidates for the god reserve, the qualifications to become a god are very important, but the foundation of the wild god stage is also very important.
With a good foundation, gaining faith can get twice the result with half the effort.
Neither Crabhime nor Isohime have their own shrines yet. Even if they become the shikigami of Kamiya, they still lack the ability to cooperate with the shikigami, spirit control techniques, and shikigami statues to gain faith. The acquisition of "spirits" increases.
The bonus is not too big.
In fact, in the final analysis, the Aragami who meets the second condition and can most efficiently improve the "spirit" acquisition efficiency by relying on a superior foundation is currently the only Hachisaku-onna who has built a new "Double Core Shrine".
Moreover, the Eight-foot Girl herself does not participate in the operation of permanent forces.
With such a balance, she is indeed suitable to be the next shikigami.
You can make a contract with her first, and while helping her obtain and accumulate a large amount of "spirits", you can also find materials and suitable divine bones for her to improve her qualifications for becoming a god.
…
"Now that you're ready, let's get started." Kamiyakawa put down the silver-coated shikigami statue and prepared to launch the spirit-binding technique at the eight-foot girl. "This process may not be so... comfortable."
"Po~ No matter what you want to do, I can endure it."
The eight-foot girl said this in a teasing tone, with a charming little vermilion beauty mark at the corner of her mouth. Then she knelt down in front of Kamiya, her plump buttocks under the white skirt softly covering her legs, outlining an extremely eye-catching arc.
But her expression became serious and extremely submissive: "Master Kamiya, it's great that you are willing to take care of Yukino... Thank you."
It sounds like a sincere thank you.
As she spoke, she leaned down, folded her hands on the ground, and put her forehead on the back of her hands.
Just like when she asked Kamiya to take Xiaolu as her disciple, the Eight-foot Girl sat down towards Kamiya Earth again.
But that time it was a plea, and this time it was a thank you and an expression of heartfelt respect.
"It doesn't have to be like this..."
Just as he was about to recite the Ju Ling Jue, Kamiyagawa's movements stopped, and his vision seemed a little wandering, with nowhere to focus.
"Why don't you start yet? Lord Kamiya, I'm already ready."
"Why don't you get up first."
Kamiyagawa suddenly felt something.
Once the Hachisaku-onna is contracted and her shikigami statue is placed in the shrine, she will officially have the authority over the "lust" related to fertility worship.
If this guy continues to grow in the authority of "lust"...
As the "Lord of the Human World", Kamiyagawa enjoys the love and affection of many monsters and ghosts, and his own charm value is full.
And he feels that his charm is a manifestation of his commanding power and the right path!
And the eight-foot girl who relies on lust is definitely evil.
But no matter what, they are all opponents!
She is so evil now...
…
Present life.
In front of an office building in Arakawa District.
Two boys, who should be college students, were holding a kraft paper portfolio in their hands, standing under the imposing office building and looking up.
Tsunayoshi Hidaka and Yoji Shimokawa.
Fans of virtual live broadcast Marie-chan are also fans of GENIE Studio.
"Is this the Night Club? It's so impressive."
"It seems like two floors belong to them."
"Hey, Tsuna, do you think we can meet the creators of GENIE here?"
"Idiot. Night Club is a subsidiary of GENIE and is involved in the comics industry. How can the GENIE creators who are responsible for animation production be here?"
"Maybe a small part?"
"That's possible, but it's impossible for us to recognize it."
"Tsuna, I'm so nervous, my heart is going to jump out of my chest."
"Stop talking. You made me so nervous when you said it. I haven't even entered the nightclub yet."
Night Club, as Tsunayoshi Hidaka said, is a subsidiary of GENIE Co., Ltd.
It was only about half a year after its establishment.
At the beginning of its establishment, it launched a comic journal called "Hundred Demons Night Parade", which is currently a semi-monthly publication.
As an anime magazine, "Hakugui Night Walk" has its own exclusive style field, focusing on depicting and telling stories about monsters and ghosts.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This track selection seems to be a bit niche.
But it's understandable.
The competition in the Japanese comics industry is very fierce, even brutal. Various magazines and periodicals will basically find their own style as a business outlet, so as to attract the corresponding target group and increase the stickiness of readers.
For example, the famous anime magazine "Shounen Jump", which has serialized works such as "Naruto", "One Piece", and "Bleach", has a main style of royal and passionate shounen comics.
And in this way, it attracts middle school students as its main readership.
Naturally, "Hundred Ghosts at Night" wants to attract people who are interested in stories about monsters and ghosts.
The audience is a bit small, but it probably wants to develop in the direction of "small but refined".
In fact, the industry is generally not very optimistic about GENIE, which has just made great achievements in the animation field, and suddenly announced the establishment of a subsidiary to participate in the comic industry.
Normally, it is a wise decision to continue to delve deeper into animation.
They have obviously made good achievements.
Although animation and comics are very similar, they are actually different in operation.
However, what is a little surprising is that after the release of "Hundred Demons Night Parade", the sales performance was not too bad.
Even if it can't be said to be unsatisfactory, it is definitely not unpopular.
This is because "Hyakuki Night Parade" contains the settings and extras for "The Uncertain Lady Mary" and "Katsutengu's Demonic Retreat House".
Most of the people who will buy this magazine are GENIE fans who have heard the news.
For fans, this thing can be regarded as peripherals of the drama to a certain extent.
But everyone knows that this kind of trickery of relying on GENIE fans will not last long after all.
How many issues can the setting and extras be released?
In the end, comic journals should still let excellent comics speak for themselves.
In addition, to say that the sales performance of "Hyakuki Night Parade" is not too bad is just to treat it as a brand-new miscellany. Compared with mature comic magazines, "Hyakuki Night Parade" is still far behind.
Far.
That is to say, the last two months.
After a comic strip written by the well-known script writer Soryu-sensei was responsible for the plot creation and was serialized in "Hyakuki Yakō", the magazine's sales finally received some substantial guarantees.
But it will definitely not work if an entire magazine is supported by just one excellent comic.
Everyone in the industry also knows that the Night Tour Club was not small when it was established, and it was definitely not a small workshop. This sales volume is far from enough to support the operation of the club itself.
Night Travel Club will probably be losing money for a long time to come.
If things go on like this, it may be abandoned by the parent company and declared bankrupt.
I really don’t understand why GENIE would do such a thankless thing.
There is a feeling that these people do not start companies to make money.
