Chapter 755: Night Tour Club and the Journal "One Hundred Demons Night Parade"

"po~po~po~"

A slightly transparent white suspender dress floated out from beside the Jizo statue, accompanied by the iconic voice of Hachishaku Onna.

"Hachisha, your Jizo statue is cracked..."

"Yes." The eight-foot woman raised her hand and pulled the brim of her wide-brimmed round hat, her beautiful and smooth black straight hair fluttering, "But, haven't you prepared a new home for me? Our love nest."

"Let me correct you. This is your shrine, nothing more." Kamiyagawa chose a suitable location next to the casket and placed the "Shrine of Lust and Illusion" among a number of shrine buildings.

"You really don't understand romance."

"are you ready?"

"Of course, my Lord Kamiya."

The eight-foot-woman's eyes and tone were ambiguous, and she leaned forward slightly to get closer to Kamiyagawa.

The high-slit long skirt swayed in the wind in the cherry blossom forest, stirring up a strong but not pungent woody aroma. The loose white skirt fit her body tightly, and the contours of her curvy figure under the smooth fabric were faintly visible in the dark sunlight of the strange school.

The wind and the light seemed to have taken on plump, graceful and charming shapes at this moment.

"it is good."

Kamiyagawa maintained a serious attitude and took out a silver-plated Shikigami statue from the [Mirage Bag].

This was something he had communicated with the eight-foot-tall girl more than a month ago.

When the shrine is completed, Kamiya will formally sign a shikigami contract with Yasha Onna.

It is for this reason that "Ni Mu" is used in the "Shrine of Lust and Illusion".

All the shrines of the Shikigami under Kamiya use this material.

The greatest function of Nimu is to cooperate with the link of the Shikigami contract and feed back the power of faith obtained by the Shikigami, that is, the so-called "spiritual" power in the "flesh, spirit and bones", to Kamiya.

"Becoming a shikigami will greatly improve the utilization of resources with the help of the casket, shikigami statues, and the art of controlling spirits. But in contrast, your freedom will be greatly restricted from now on."

"Haven't I been by your side for the past two years?" said the eight-foot-woman with a lighthearted smile.

For her, this was not a problem at all.

"That's what I said."

"Besides, there's no need to worry about Yukino now. Or maybe Lord Kamiya no longer looks down on a lowly monster like me. He's so heartless, abandoning me after having fun with me." Yashakome's tone was quite resentful, and she pretended to wipe away non-existent tears.

“…We haven’t messed up.”

The matter of the contract with the Hachishaku-jo was actually mentioned as early as when Kamiya first went to Okuri Island to look for the red stingray bones.

Kamiyagawa finally remembered what the eight-foot-woman had said at that time—

"When Yukino can fully control her innate spiritual energy and will not be harmed by it, 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 was probably not entirely due to the increase in the strength of the Eight-foot Woman.

But it is a reflection of her determination to become a Kamiya Shikigami, right?
After all, we really don’t have to worry about that girl named Shikanoya anymore.

Xiaolu became a disciple of Shengu, and along the way, he learned the techniques of various schools. As a "spiritual fetus", the disordered innate spiritual power in his body has long been regulated and controllable due to high-intensity technique training and use.

So much so that in today's exorcism industry, Xiaolu's strength can be considered an elite.

There is no need to worry about her dying prematurely like her mother and grandmother.

That girl will definitely live a long life.

It is even possible that you will rise to great heights in the future following your master.

Let’s get back to the Shikigami contract that Kamiya Gawa and Yasha Onna are about to reach.

For now, the first priority in operating the Kamiya forces is to cultivate as many A-level gods as possible.

As for the S-level gods...

Kamiya currently doesn't know how to train an S-level god.

To be more precise, they don't know how to cultivate an S-level god in a short period of time, within one or two years.

His good friend, the Medicine Seller, does have an S rating, but the Medicine Seller himself is a special craftsman god.

Moreover, he was able to become an S-level craftsman god mainly through the accumulation of hundreds and thousands of years.

Judging from Kamiyagawa's current training intensity, if Mary and Karasu Tengu are raised for another hundreds or thousands of years, they should be able to gradually transform into S-level gods under the influence of strong incense and faith.

Kamiya will certainly not reduce the investment in resources to cultivate existing gods, but the process of cultivating S-level gods relying solely on time is too long.

Therefore, the most effective way to strengthen the power at present is to cultivate more A-level gods to serve as the backbone.

After all, Kamiya knows how to use "spirit" and "bone" to cultivate A-level gods quickly and well.

He knows this well.

Becoming Kamiyagawa's shikigami means reducing freedom in exchange for faster growth and promotion.

To put it more bluntly, it is the reserve force of A-level gods.

Currently, Kamiya has a total of seven and a half shikigami.

Among them, Lord Yama, Kaoru Kaoru, is considered half.

Among all the Shikigami, Mary and Karasu Tengu have become gods.

Inugami is undergoing a promotion ceremony, and becoming a god is a foregone conclusion.

As for Prajna, her deification ceremony has also been put on the agenda.

Once you have accumulated more "spirituality", you can start safely.

Among the remaining shikigami, there is Kage who has the support of the three goddesses of Munakata; Kaoru Kaoru who is Yama himself and controls the Sanzu River; and the dream-eating tapir who has accepted the core power of the dreamland of the Great Peach God. They all have the corresponding capital potential to become gods.

As a shikigami, you should continuously and efficiently replenish the power of your "spirit" through various means, and when you find a suitable divine skeleton in the future, you should be able to become a god smoothly.

Finally, it’s Xiao Wu.

Wu is very special. She is much weaker in terms of the qualifications for becoming a god, and she is just a pendant to complete the "Seven Emotions and Aspirations".

Moreover, although she possesses the ability to see into the future, she is not good at fighting on the battlefield.

The strategic significance is far greater than the practical significance of going to the battlefield.

Of course, Kamiyagawa will still try his best to train his sister-in-law into a god.

After all, "Future Vision" is really useful.

In addition to the existing shikigami, if you want to choose another suitable god reserve, the contract will allocate a lot of "spiritual" resources to the shikigami. Looking at all the strange stories in the Kamiya forces, Yasakana is indeed a relatively suitable one.

Although she joined the Kamiya faction a long time ago and is a veteran character, it seems a bit late for her to be contracted as a Shikigami now.

But I finally caught up with it.

Since they are reserve gods, they must of course be selected from the wild gods within the force.

Like the Spider Goddess of Kamui, Ibaraki Douji of Mt. Oe, and the Yatagarasu temporarily residing on the Sanzu River.

They are already A-level gods, so they are not taken into consideration.

The prerequisite for selecting a god in reserve, that is, selecting a shikigami, can be roughly divided into three points:

First of all, it is the qualifications to become a god.

Secondly, it is the foundation and basis for the God of Wilderness to gain the power of faith.

Finally, it is whether the target is currently suitable to lose the right to move freely.

Among the existing wild gods within the force, most of them do not meet the first point.

Except for Isohime and Kanihime.

Each of them is a descendant of two sea goddesses. As "Munakata", their potential to become gods is not as great as that of the King of the Sea Country, Huajing, but they still have some potential.

However, the operation of Changshi's power currently cannot be separated from Isohime and Kanihime.

One of them is responsible for internal affairs and the other is responsible for security.

If you insist, Crab Princess might be able to be pulled out with some effort.

As for Isohime, her importance to the operation of Takamagahara forces is no less than "the West cannot lose Jerusalem."

Her seat was really uncomfortable.

For the time being, there is no other ghost story that can replace the Little Mermaid Princess as the head of internal affairs.

The only way is to transfer the extremely intelligent Concubine Wen Che into the ordinary world, but in that case, the operation of the industry in reality will be in trouble again.

Anyway, let's wait for Kanihime and Isohime to train a suitable successor.

Also, neither of them meets the second point.

When considering candidates for reserve gods, the qualifications for becoming a god are important, but the foundation of the wild god stage is equally important.

With a good foundation, gaining faith can be twice as easy with half the effort.

However, Kanihime and Isohime do not have their own shrines yet. Even if they become Kamiya's Shikigami, they still lack the ability to gain faith through the use of caskets, spirit control techniques, and Shikigami statues. The bonus to the acquisition of "spirits" is not that great.

In fact, when it comes down to it, the only wild god who meets the second condition and can most efficiently improve the efficiency of obtaining "spirits" by relying on a superior foundation is the Hachishagi who has newly built a "dual-core shrine".

Moreover, the Hachisha Onna herself does not participate in the operation of the ordinary forces.

After weighing all the factors, she is indeed suitable to be the next Shikigami.

You can make a contract with her first, help her accumulate a large amount of "spirits", and find materials and suitable divine bones for her to improve her qualifications to become a god.

……

"Now that we are ready, let's get started." Kamiyagawa put down the silver-plated Shikigami statue and prepared to use the Soul Binding Technique on the Yasakana. "This process may not be so... comfortable."

"Po~ No matter what you want to do, I can endure it."

The eight-foot woman said this in a teasing tone, with a charming little scarlet beauty spot on the corner of her mouth. Then she knelt down in front of Kamiya, and her plump buttocks under the white skirt softly covered her legs, outlining an extremely eye-catching curve.

But her expression became serious and exceptionally obedient: "Mr. Kamiya, it's so kind of you to take care of Yukino... Thank you."

It sounded like a sincere thank you.

As she spoke, she leaned forward, folded her hands on the ground, and rested her forehead on the back of her hands.

Just like the scene when she asked Kamiya to accept Xiaolu as her disciple, the eight-foot woman sat down towards Kamiya again.

The only difference was that that time it was a plea, while this time it was a thank you and an expression of sincere respect.

"You don't have to do that..."

Kamiyagawa, who was about to recite the Soul Binding Technique, stopped moving and his eyes seemed to be wandering, as if he didn't know where to put them.

"Aren't you going to start yet? Lord Kamiya, I'm already prepared."

"Why don't you get up first."

Kamiyagawa suddenly had a feeling.

Once a contract is made with the Hasshaku Onna and her statue is placed in the shrine, she will officially hold the power of "lust" related to fertility worship.

If this guy continues to grow in the power of lust...

As the "Lord of the World", Kamiyagawa, who is loved by many monsters and ghosts, has a maximum charm value.

He felt that his charm was a manifestation of his leadership and was the right way!
And the eight-foot-tall woman who relies on lust is definitely an evil path.

But no matter what, he is still an opponent!
She is so evil now...

……

This world.

In front of an office building in Arakawa Ward.

Two boys, who should be college students, were standing under a grand office building, looking up, holding a brown paper file bag in their hands.

Hidaka Tsunayoshi and Shimokawa Yoji.

A fan of the virtual live broadcast Mary-chan, and also a fan of GENIE Studio.

"Is this the Night Tour Club? It's so impressive."

"It seems that two floors belong to them."

"Hey, Tsunayoshi, do you think we can meet the creators of GENIE here?"

"Idiot. Night Tour Club is a subsidiary of GENIE, which is in the comics industry. How could the GENIE creators who are responsible for animation production be here?"

"Maybe a small part?"

"That's possible, but there's no way we can recognize it."

"Tsunayoshi, I'm so nervous, my heart is pounding."

"Stop talking. You're making me nervous. We haven't even entered the door of the Night Tour Club yet."

Night Tour Company, as Hidaka Tsunayoshi said, is a subsidiary of GENIE Co., Ltd.

It has only been established for about half a year.

At the beginning of its establishment, it launched a comic magazine called "One Hundred Demons Night Parade", which is currently a bimonthly magazine.

As an anime magazine, "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" has its own exclusive style and field, focusing on depicting and telling stories about monsters and ghosts.

This track choice seems a bit niche.

But there are excuses.

The competition in Japan's comics industry is very fierce, even brutal. All kinds of magazines and periodicals basically find their own style as a way to operate, so as to attract the corresponding target groups and increase reader stickiness.

The famous anime magazine "Weekly Shonen Jump", which has serialized works such as "Naruto", "One Piece" and "Bleach", has the main style of orthodox and passionate boys' comics.

And thereby attracting middle school students as the main readership.

"A Hundred Demons Night Parade" naturally aims to attract people who are interested in ghost stories.

The audience is a bit small, but probably they want to develop in the direction of "small but fine".

In fact, the industry generally does not look favorably upon GENIE, which has just made remarkable achievements in the animation field and suddenly announced the establishment of a subsidiary to participate in the comics industry.

Normally speaking, it would be a wise decision to continue to delve into animation.

Obviously, they have made some good achievements.

Although anime and comics are very similar, they are actually different in operation.

However, what is somewhat surprising is that after the release of "A Hundred Demons Night Parade", the sales performance was not too bad.

Even if it can't be said to be satisfactory, it is definitely not ignored.

This is because the setting collections and extra stories of "Ms. Mary" and "Karasu Tengu's Demonic Retreat" were published in "A Hundred Demons Night Parade".

Most of the people who buy this magazine are GENIE fans who have heard the news.

For fans, this thing can be considered as a peripheral product of the anime to a certain extent.

But everyone knows that this kind of reliance on GENIE fans and some tricky behavior will not last long.

How many issues of settings and extras can be published?
Ultimately, comic journals should speak with excellent comics.

In addition, to say that the sales performance of "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" is not too bad is just a generous evaluation of it as a brand new miscellaneous thing. Compared with mature comic magazines, "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" is still far behind.

That is, the last two months.

After a comic strip written by the famous scriptwriter Suoryu began to be serialized in "One Hundred Demons Night Parade", the sales of the magazine finally received some substantial guarantee.

But it is definitely not feasible for an entire magazine to be supported by just one excellent comic.

It is also known in the industry that the scale of 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 tour clubs will probably be in a loss-making state for a long time in the future.

If this continues, the company may be abandoned by its parent company and declared bankrupt.

I really don't understand why GENIE would do such a thankless task.

It feels like these people didn't start the company to make money.
