Morning.
Without the urban legend of Sato-san causing trouble, Sakurai Tong slept well and didn't get up until dawn.
She gave Jiang Chuanhai, who was still asleep on the other side of the room, a vicious look. The damn guy had easily earned 40,000 yen from her. Sakurai Tong's heart ached slightly, but she couldn't say anything - it would cost almost 40,000 yen to remove a monster of disaster level F. Jiang Chuanhai charged her a reasonable amount of money and didn't ask for an exorbitant price.
After eating instant noodles for breakfast, Jiangchuan and Sakurai Tong left the apartment together. The dwarf stared at him with a bad face, as if his eyes could kill him.
Jiangchuan didn't care. Not only did he earn 40,000 yen last night, but he also got a black air ball. He was in a good mood. He met Sakurai Tong's eyes and smiled back.
Yingjing Tong snorted coldly, quickened her pace, and left Jiang Chuanhai alone behind. The hateful guy's smug look made her very unhappy.
When he arrived at the classroom, Jiangchuan greeted Nakajima Rie and Sato Hiroki. What made him look sideways was that Takera Masashige from the last row came today. He lowered his head and avoided his gaze. He looked much gloomier, not in good spirits, and his face looked a little haggard.
He took a quick look and didn't care much. This person couldn't cause any trouble. As long as he didn't provoke him again, Jiang Chuan didn't have time to waste on such a person.
Sakurai Tong was calculating the bonuses she had earned in the past few days, including the exorcism of earthbound spirits, bone horses, and ghost woman faces, totaling about 240,000 yen, but she had to give half of it to Jiangchuan Hai, which meant that 120,000 yen was left.
In addition, she had to ask that nasty guy for help last night, which cost her another 40,000 yen, so she could only get 80,000 yen.
This was equivalent to her previous income from completing two to three orders to exorcise disaster level F monsters. Although it was not bad, the bulk of it was taken away by Jiang Chuanhai. She felt a pang of pain in her heart for no reason. She worked so hard, but in the end it seemed that all the money was taken away by the hateful guy.
Yingjing Tong was not in the mood in the morning. She had ramen in the cafeteria at noon. When she came back, she bought some bread and threw it to Jiang Chuanhai. She sat down and sulked. Jiang Chuanhai just glanced at her unexpectedly without even saying "thank you". She shouldn't have been nosy. It wasn't like she was hungry anyway!!!
afternoon.
Just after school, Nakajima Rie came over to invite her to join the club, but Sakurai Tong refused on the grounds that she had something to do. She knew which was more important, making money or having snacks. Now was not the time to take advantage of others. While she had time, maybe she could get one more job.
Jiangchuan glanced at Sakurai Tong, who was willing to give up the tea and snacks of the Weird Research Society. After a brief thought, he understood the dwarf's plan.
so.
When Nakajima Rie walked over to the dwarf with a look of regret on her face and wanted to invite him to join the club, Jiangchuan also refused. He packed his bag and left the classroom, leaving the fortune-telling girl with a messy head full of questions.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!?
Ying Jing Tong waited at the school gate for a while. When she saw the hateful guy coming out, she snorted and said, "Not so stupid. Let's go and take the mission."
Jiangchuan nodded, and he followed Sakurai Tong, and the two walked together to the Ota Ward branch of the Tokyo Weird Countermeasures Department.
The dwarf went in for a while, and Jiangchuan was waiting outside. When he saw Yingjing Tong come out, his eyes curved into crescents and he held the bag in his arms, as if something good had happened.
Sakurai Tong didn't expect that all her bonuses would be settled today. With 240,000 yen in her bag, it was hard for her to be in a bad mood. This was the happiest thing in life.
only……
Sakurai Tong was about to give the hateful guy 160,000 yen. The gap made her mood not so good again. She walked in front of Jiangchuan Hai, opened her bag, took out the money, counted out 16 10,000 yen bills and handed them to him, holding back the pain and said, "This is for you. I don't owe you money anymore."
Jiangchuan took it. Since the dwarf had counted it, he didn't need to count it again. He put it directly into the bag. Not counting the 85,000 yen that Sakurai Tong gave him before as tuition, this was the first money he could truly control.
With the money, he planned to buy some necessities for living in human society, such as a mobile phone, and he could also start moving out of the dwarf's apartment.
…
When they returned to the apartment and put down the bag, the 40,000 yen IOU was no longer useful, so Jiangchuan returned it to the dwarf.
After Sakurai Tong took the Nichirin Sword, the two left the apartment and came to the main street. Jiangchuan waved and called a taxi.
The dwarf was reluctant to spend money, but Jiang Chuan was different. Some money was necessary to spend, and he didn't intend to waste his time on the road.
The mission that Sakurai Tong accepted was the "Tsukumogami" of disaster level E, also known as the Ninety-Nine Gods. Plants that grow all year round, ancient animals, and utensils that have been used for a long time will be attached to souls, in other words, they will become spirits.
This kind of weirdness is generally not strong, but it can be identified as disaster level E, which makes Sakurai Tong cautious, thinking that it must have some special abilities.
However, her strength now is obviously different from before, so Sakurai Tong will not be afraid.
The taxi fare cost more than 3,000 yen, which was indeed a considerable expense. Jiangchuan and Sakurai Tong arrived at the gate of a high-walled residential compound in Suginami District, Tokyo.
After knocking on the door, they waited for a while before a woman in a kimono opened the door and asked what they were here for. After Sakurai Tong answered, the woman looked at them with a slight surprise in her eyes, but did not act rudely and invited them in.
Jiangchuan could feel the elegance of the women in kimonos, and they were walking on a pebbled road with rockery, vines, and red flowers on both sides, which added a touch of antiquity, comfort, and tranquility to the outer courtyard. His first impression was that this place had a long-standing family tradition.
They were brought to the front hall of the house, where women in kimonos made tea and entertained them. However, this kind of complicated etiquette made Jiangchuan feel like Sakurai Tong had a stye under his butt - he was shaking so much that he couldn't sit still.
Jiang Chuan didn't want to waste too much time here. After the woman in the kimono introduced herself and gave a brief explanation, he nodded and said, "Miss Shijo, we understand the situation. Please take us to the place where the Fusangjin is causing trouble."
The full name of the kimono woman is Shijo Aoi. She looks to be about 25 years old, not much older than them. She met the Tsukumogami while tidying up her deceased grandfather's warehouse. She had previously hired someone to exorcise the monster, but the person ran away in disgrace. She is also a high school student.
This reminded Jiangchuan of another trainee in the Tokyo Mystery Countermeasures Department who had a similar experience when exorcising the ghost woman's face in a bar. Although he had never seen her, because of that person, the disaster level F monster was upgraded to a higher level.
The Fusangshen is not very strong. It may be because of the same reason as the ghost woman's face in the bar that it has become a disaster level E monster.
but……
It should be impossible for someone with special abilities to be defeated twice in a row by a disaster level F small monster, even if he is an apprentice, right?
