Truth is everywhere within range

Ariko Asano went out suddenly and took the subway to Shibuya Station without calling her family's driver. She used the map to find the location given by Qiao Qiao.

"I'm exhausted."

Ariko Asano puffed out her chest and gasped for air.

She was busy going out and didn't match her clothes carefully.

I picked up two of them.

A short-sleeved T-shirt with a Kumamon pattern and dark cropped trousers.

Very cute too.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Qiao Qiao brought a glass of water to Asano Miko.

Ariko Asano took the water glass.

Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

Drink it all in one sip.

"Who is this?"

Kamiyama Shigeru looked at Asano Ariko and asked.

If Qiao Qiao looks young, his behavior is quite steady and cautious, which makes Kamiyama Shigeru think that he may just be young.

So Ariko Asano.

Just really too young.

Is this a junior high school student?

Can a junior high school student become a spiritual master?

With many questions in his mind, Kamiyama Shigeru waited for Qiao Qiao's explanation.

"This is Asano the shrine maiden of Atsuta Shrine, and she is my colleague."

Qiao Qiao saw Kamiyama Shigeru's doubts and introduced.

"Ah, Atsuta Shrine."

When Shigeru Kamiyama heard this name, he immediately felt relieved.

This is the Great Shrine.

"Teacher, where is the resentful spirit?"

After Asano Ariko rested, she began to look around, looking for traces of the resentful spirit.

"There are no wraiths."

Qiao Qiao opened his mouth and explained.

While waiting for Miko Asano.

He carefully investigated the area again and came to a conclusion.

First of all, after Yuzu died, her spirit stayed behind and stayed in the house.

But Yuzu did not transform into a wraith, nor did she dissipate.

Secondly, there is indeed a large amount of Yin energy deposited near Kamiyama Shigeru's residence.

This is like a hospital morgue or a crematorium.

Not very natural.

If it develops normally, Yuzi's spirit will be eroded by these yin energies and gradually transform into a resentful spirit.

Its longing and concern for its owner will turn into resentment, making the Kamiyama Shigeru family full of resentment.

But Yuzu was not eroded by the Yin Qi.

In other words, it successfully resisted the erosion of Yin Qi.

This is almost impossible to do.

You know, the emotions of living things are complicated.

Even a loving couple and a harmonious family.

There will also be dissatisfaction, there will be disputes, there will be even a moment of dislike for the other party.

Therefore, Yin Qi can easily amplify the spirit's emotions and turn it into a resentful spirit.

In other words, Yuzi only has positive emotions towards Kamiyama Shigeru and his family.

favorite? Nostalgic? gratitude? Reluctant to give up?

Qiao Qiao doesn't understand people's hearts.

I don’t understand the dog’s heart either.

But he knew that Yuzi's biggest obsession was this family.

It is precisely because of this emotion that not only has it not been transformed into a resentful spirit, but it has always been guarding Shenshan Shigeru and his family, dispelling the accumulated Yin Qi for them.

It can be said that in the past two months, if Yuzu’s spirit had not been here.

Maybe Kamiyama Shigeru had an accident long ago.

At this moment, Yuzi was squatting in her nest looking at the strange Qiao Qiao and Asano Ariko.

Sticking out tongue.

Everything is just like when I was still alive.

After telling this, Qiao Qiao looked at Shenshan Shigeru.

"Mr. Kamiyama, this is the situation."

he explained.

"We will carry out some purification operations to disperse the Yin Qi near your house, so that you don't have to worry about the various problems caused by Yin Qi."

"As for Yuzu, although it is an ordinary spirit now, there is always the possibility that it will be transformed as time goes by."

"Miko Asano will make it die."

After listening to Qiao Qiao's words, Shenshan Mao hesitated for a long time and nodded.

Ariko Asano looked at the two of them with mixed feelings in her heart.

Originally, she thought that Qiao Qiao would once again demonstrate his superb spirit-removing skills.

But I didn't expect that this would be the case.

It seems that the teacher is also a very gentle person.

Ariko Asano thought.

She took out the retractable royal coin from her handbag.

Shake gently.

In spiritual vision.

The shimmering spiritual energy gradually filled the entire room.

The Yin Qi lingering in the beams and gaps in the floor were drawn out one after another and dissipated in the spiritual power.

Sure enough, it was right to call Miko Asano.

If Qiao Qiao were to do it, he might spray a large amount of spiritual water.

Not that elegant.

As for grapefruit.

It didn't know when it had entered the house.

Chasing spiritual power.

It's like being surrounded by fireflies.

Very happy.

"Woof woof."

Kamiyama Shigeru suddenly felt.

I seemed to hear a dog barking.

"Grapefruit?"

He looked around.

But the familiar dog could no longer be found.

"Grapefruit?"

Kamiyama Shigeru was a little distracted.

At this time, Asano Ariko suddenly frowned.

"Um?"

"What's wrong?"

Qiao Qiao subconsciously picked up the gun.

"Yuzu's state is a bit strange."

Asano Ariko looked at Yuzu who was at Kamiyama Shigeru's feet, trying to rub her trouser legs.

"It has changed from an ordinary spirit to an existence similar to a relying spirit."

Ariko Asano explained it very simply, mainly to Shigeru Kamiyama.

"The spirit of dependence is a spirit that has acquired beliefs, desires, and exists through something, such as land, mountains, rivers, or some spiritual items."

To put it bluntly, it is the original form of ghosts and gods.

Meiji Shrine enshrines the spirits of Emperor Meiji and his wife.

After long-term worship, the people's beliefs and their spirits turned into ghosts and gods.

The same goes for grapefruit.

It's just relatively small and elementary.

Hear the words of Miko Asano.

Qiao Qiao understood.

Just as Yuzu is willing to protect Kamiyama Shigeru's family after death.

The Kamiyama Shigeru family also missed Yuzu after its death.

This longing.

It became the strength of Yuzu’s existence.

This can also be explained.

Why grapefruit can dispel evil spirits

Why does it take so long after death that it has not dissipated and transformed into a resentful spirit?

"It's not impossible to force it to die."

Ariko Asano stopped what she was doing.

"But in that case, just as the ghosts and gods of the shrine are eliminated, it will have the same impact on the priests and witches of the shrine."

That is to say.

The Kamiyama Shigeru family may also be slightly backlashed, and some accidents may occur.

".Then is there any way to allow Yuzi to stay here and be with us?"

Asked subconsciously, Kamiyama Shigeru realized his gaffe again.

He couldn't stop Yuzu from passing away just because of his own thoughts.

That's just selfishness called love.

Ariko Asano was thinking.

Yuzu suddenly came to Ariko Asano with a clatter.

He sat down obediently.

Then.

He lowered his head.

It was like asking her not to separate herself from her family.

"There is a way."

Ariko Asano studied Shinto.

In Shinto, there is a lot of research on ghosts and gods.

"I can strengthen this connection between you. From now on, as long as you still remember Yuzu, it will exist around you, dispelling evil and filth for you, and bless you with peace."

"After doing this, Yuzu will no longer be an ordinary spirit, but an Inugami."

"It is a god that only belongs to your family."

Such an operation does not violate taboos.

In some large families, the elderly head of the family will go to a shrine to perform such operations before his death, trying to protect the family's safety.

However, only a few can succeed.

The human heart is always too complicated.

".Two Masters."

Kamiyama Shigeru suddenly knelt down.

"Many thanks."

Beside him, Yuzu slowly lowered her head.

The subsequent work does not take much time.

An hour later, Asano Ariko completed Yuzu's transformation.

At this moment, there is an extra place for worshiping incense in Shenshan’s house.

In front of the incense burner, a photo hangs.

Photo of a smiling Akita dog.

After settling the bill of 100,000 yen and bidding farewell to Shigeru Kamiyama, it was already approaching dusk.

"Unexpectedly, the teacher turned out to be a very kind person. I thought you were going to kill Yuzu's spirit with one shot."

Ariko Asano walked in front, Qiao Qiao behind.

The two were separated by two bodies.

The setting sun drags their shadows so long, so long.

"Thank you very much this time."

Qiao Qiao deeply felt his own shortcomings.

He is an expert in exterminating evil spirits.

But in this situation, he had no choice.

"Instead of saying thank you, let's do something practical."

Ariko Asano turned around and smiled.

".Seventy thousand yen?"

"Pfft, teacher, you are really interesting."

Ariko Asano was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Well, why don't you, teacher, make Chinese noodles, uh, light noodles for me to eat?"

"It's dandan noodles."

Qiao Qiao corrected.

After thinking carefully, he nodded.

"Okay, then we can go to Shinjuku."

He had no materials at home, so he had to borrow the kitchen from his boss.

"Really, hee hee."

Asano Ariko smiled and suddenly thought of something again.

"However, I didn't expect that the bond between humans and dogs would be so deep. Compared to the Elysian World and the Pure Land of God, Yuzi seems to be more willing to stay with her family."

She said, quite emotional.

"yes."

Qiao Qiao nodded.

Look ahead.

Already arrived at the subway station.

In front of Shibuya Station.

There is no such thing as a dog.

Would you rather stay with your master than go to heaven?
