My tenants are monsters

Rin Shiraishi glanced at Nogi Maki suspiciously, then nodded, and said something along the lines of Nogi Maki.

Then he took off his shoes, turned around and went to bed, grabbed the neckline of the bathrobe with one hand, pinched it and let it go, and fanned it gently.

If I read that moment correctly...

The photos that Nogi Maki swiped just now seemed to be taken of her?

Moreover, the first one was drawn, that is, the one that Nogi Maki was admiring when Shiraishi Rin approached. It seems that she came out of the bathroom that day, wrapped in a bath towel and blowing her hair. There is a lot of exposed skin...

Bai Shilin murmured a few words in his heart, and didn't bother about this issue too much. After tidying up the bedding, he lay down on his back, ready to turn off the lights and go to sleep.

"Good night, Maki. And Sachiko too."

"Good night, little Rin."

……

The night passed in a blink of an eye.

On the morning of the fourth day, Rin Shiraishi and Maki Nogi packed up their things, then checked out the room and drove back to Tokyo.

This trip back, it is inevitable to stop in Hinode Town once, and sit at Kawasaki's house for a while, saying goodbye to my aunt Kawasaki Ryumi.

Kawasaki Ryumi was obviously a little surprised.

After all, Rin Shiraishi left from West Tama County three or four days ago.

From Kawasaki Ryumi's point of view, after such a long time, it is more likely that she has returned to Tokyo directly, and it is a small probability event that she can fulfill the agreement she made before and visit again.So this meeting, Kawasaki Ryumi was very worried and told Shiraishi Rin, and then sent her out of the door with a little reluctance.

"Then Auntie, let's go first?"

Shiraishi Rin patiently listened to Kawasaki Ryumi's words before speaking.

Nogi Maki next to her also pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Aunt Lumi, Xiao Lin has always performed very well in school, and her current grades are among the best in our class. As for life... I and Xiao Lin is a very good friend, no matter what happens, I will do my best to help her."

"Really, then thank you, Nogi-san."

Kawasaki Ryumi smiled, stopped, and waved goodbye to Shiraishi Rin.

After walking a certain distance, Rin Shiraishi glanced back and saw Kawasaki Ryumi standing where she was, watching her and Nogi Maki and others leave.

"Auntie Lumi really cares about you, Xiao Lin."

Nogi Maki said softly.

"Well, indeed."

Bai Shilin pursed his lips and smiled, nodded in response.

I have to admit that Kawasaki Ryumi treated her really well.

And long before she came to this world as a time traveler, her predecessor was also taken care of by Kawasaki Ryumi, whether it was taking care of her parents' funeral or going to Tokyo to inherit the inheritance, she had received a lot of help from the latter.

Even as a time traveler, the psychological identification with this blood relationship is not as strong as it is born with, but in the face of such kindness like spring rain, Shiraishi Rin can't help but feel a little touched in his heart.

(If you have time in the future, come and see it from time to time...)

The distance between Tokyo and Nishitama County is not too far. As long as you start early, a round trip on the same day is more than enough.Although there are a lot of academic and supernatural things in Tokyo, it is impossible to come too frequently, but it is still possible to make a phone call from time to time, come here once or twice a month, and talk to Ryumi Kawasaki.

Shiraishi Rin thought so in his heart.

At the tram stop in Hinode Town, the three got on the tram.

Then go all the way back to Arakawa, which is located in the downtown area of ​​Tokyo.

The tram raced along the track.

On the way, when passing by Bunkyo District, Shiraishi Rin looked back at Nogi Maki: "By the way, Maki, are you going to get off at the next stop and go home?"

"Well... Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't go down."

Nogi Maki glanced at the block where his home was located outside the window through layers of buildings, then turned around and smiled slightly: "Anyway, it's still early, there may be nothing to do when I go back, I'll go first You sit there for a while, and then go home. My parents don't know the exact time when we return from Mount Fuji, and they shouldn't mind if it's earlier or later."

"OK then."

Since Nogi Maki himself has already said so, it is naturally inconvenient for Shiraishi Rin to say more.

After glancing at the flashing buildings outside the window, he withdrew his gaze, and then sat down on the tram seat again, watching the scenes outside the windows on both sides pass quickly in his sight.

After another ten minutes, the tram arrived.

After a group of three came out of the platform, they went all the way back to the Shiraishi apartment in [-]-chome.

VOLUME 322: Chapter [-] The Origin of Asama Shrine

When he was about to reach the door of the apartment.

Shiraishi Rin deliberately went around to the side of the apartment, and looked up at the third floor.

Looking at it, I noticed that the exterior wall corresponding to Room 303 has basically been repaired, and even the color has been painted, which is almost indistinguishable from the original exterior wall of the apartment.If you don't observe carefully on a sunny day, it's hard to see that this wall has just been knocked out a big hole not long ago.

From this perspective, the assistance provided by the special class is indeed in place.

If Shiraishi Rin finds someone from the decoration company by himself, even if it costs more, it may be difficult to restore the wall to its original state in such a short period of time.

Enter the hallway.

Rin Shiraishi opened the door of Room 101 first, motioned for Maki Nogi to go in and rest first, then knocked on the door of Room 103, greeted Yoshie Ogino, and expressed his thanks.

To be honest, Rin Shiraishi has always felt guilty about Yoshie Ogino.

The latter was originally just a tenant in Baishi's apartment, and was one of the few people who checked in the latest, but because of his friendship with her, he frequently helped her perform the duties of the administrator during this period, and even fell into a fight and took several responsibilities. The second injury was indeed a bit too hard.Even though Yoshie Ogino himself didn't mind this, Rin Shiraishi still couldn't take it for granted.

Before Shiraishi Rin wanted to exchange something for Ogino mother and daughter, to give back to the help during this period of time, but has not met a suitable one, and now...

She had another idea.

"Well, Aunt Fanghui, there is something I want to tell you..."

"I killed a man-eating ghost in Yamanashi this time, and got a few things from it..."

Shiraishi lowered his voice, took out the ghost horn and heart, and gestured to Yoshie Ogino: "I got this from a ghost that ate several people, Auntie Fanghui, do you know what they do? "

"Ok?"

Yoshie Ogino was taken aback for a moment, and when she saw what Shiraishi Rin was holding clearly, the expression on her face changed slightly.

"Xiao Lin, you actually...killed a ghost? Is that guy alone?"

"Are you worried that the ghost may have a backer?"

Rin Shiraishi saw Ogino Yoshie's concerns, and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, it's just a lone ranger wandering around, and it doesn't have any special power... This was admitted by the leader of Togakushi Mountain, the ghost woman Hongye, so No other ghost race will come looking for it because of its death."

"??"

Yoshie Ogino opened her eyes wide.

Under the suspicious gaze of this cat and mother, Shiraishi Rin described the things he encountered in the process of chasing and killing man-eating ghosts in Yamanashi Prefecture, together with the scene he had seen with Maki and others on Mount Fuji before that. , also said it again.

Of course, before saying these words, Shiraishi Rin first detected the surrounding situation with the demon fox's perception, and deliberately used his mind to open a barrier to isolate the sound, so as to prevent the words he and Ogino Yoshie from leaking out.

In the current Baishi apartment, although it is safer than before-because the biggest hidden danger Baizu Dazang has left, but if it involves the supernatural level, and it is still related to several thousand-year-old monsters, it is still not suitable for being surrounded by too many people. known.In order to avoid having ears on the partition wall, it is definitely right to be as cautious as possible.

After listening to Rin Shiraishi explain the ins and outs of the matter, Yoshie Ogino was silent for a long time.

"It turns out that there are so many things happening in Yamanashi Prefecture... Even the ghost girl Momiji has appeared. It seems that the heavy snowfall on Mount Fuji that you saw that day, Xiao Lin, is a bit unusual."

"Aunt Fanghui, do you know what is on the top of Mount Fuji?"

Shiraishi Rin tried to ask a question.

Not surprisingly, Ogino Yoshie shook his head decisively: "I don't know. I told you before that Sachiko and I stayed in Chiba Prefecture almost all the time in the past few years, and basically didn't go to Yamanashi and Shizuoka Prefectures much. However, I don’t know much about the situation there. However, if a thousand-year-old monster really appeared on Mount Fuji, it might have something to do with the formation of Asama Shrine.”

The historical origin of Asama Shrine is actually quite long.

It is said that as early as the 3rd year of Suinin, that is, in 27 BC, the then Emperor Suihito worshiped "Asama God" on Mount Fuji for the reason of worshiping the spirit of Mount Fuji.After 800 years, it was not until the early Heian period that the shrine hall of Asama Shrine was officially built, and then gradually formed the scale it is today.

The so-called "sacrifice in town" refers to suppression and sacrifice.

Because Mt. Fuji is actually an active volcano, as the spirit of the mountain, Asama Ogami, also known as "Kohana no Saku Yabi", has the ability to erupt the volcano.Therefore, out of the complex psychology of awe and fear, even mixed with worship, the ancient Dongying people formed such a special ritual custom.

So here comes the problem...

The first is the identity of "Asama Great God".

This deity, who roughly calculated to have existed for at least 2000 years, was not a real individual.

His image is closer to the personification of Mount Fuji itself.

If you really want to draw a portrait, then it may be a combination of various mountain spirits and wild monsters on Mount Fuji, or it may be something similar to natural consciousness existing in the mountain itself... Probably except for staying on Mount Fuji all the year round to be responsible for sacrifices The Asama Shrine of "Asama Great God", it is difficult for others to know what the details of this god are.

So……

Is the Asama Shrine's attitude towards this god more "repression" or more "sacrifice"?

The latter kind is nothing unusual, and most of the shrines in Japan are like this. After all, the priests and maidens are actually servants of the gods, responsible for "serving" the gods enshrined in their own shrines, and then on this basis, perform some additional "gods". Obligations of the nature of "messenger", such as conveying "oracles" to believers.

But if the former is the case, then the blizzard that happened during Shiraishi Rin's trip to Yamanashi Prefecture is a bit of a story.

——Could it be that the battle I felt before was actually the priest of Asama Shrine, who was dealing with the "Asama Great God" who woke up from a deep sleep and wanted to make trouble?

"Can……"

If this is the case, what is the "friend" that the ghost girl Hongye mentioned? Could it be that she has a relationship with Master Asama?

This has never appeared in the archives of the special class...

Shiraishi Rin rubbed his chin, a little puzzled.

VOLUME 323: Chapter [-] How to Use Ghost Clan Materials

However, this matter has nothing to do with her.

If there is any trouble involved, it should be a headache for famous big shrines such as Sensoji Temple and Meiji Jingu Shrine.The sky was falling, and there was a tall person supporting it, and she herself was at best a female high school student who was just over 1.6 meters tall, weak and incompetent, and she really couldn't bear it.

On the other hand, Yoshie Ogino was also ignorant of this issue.

Moreover, this cat and mother was even more puzzled about another thing——

"There is one thing, when I heard what you said just now, Xiao Lin, I always felt very strange...

If the red-haired woman you saw, Xiao Lin, is really the ghost girl Hongye from Mount Togakushi, then why would she ask you to take the ghost horn of the man-eating ghost?Shouldn't this kind of thing from the ghost clan be recovered by the ghost girl Hongye? "

This point is indeed a bit strange.
