I loaded the ghost talk game

It was a quiet, slightly hot weekend afternoon, with loud and noisy cicadas.

The courtyard of the Kamiya family.

Tsurumi Aoi held a wooden sword and practiced Suzhen under the shadow of the red maple tree in the yard.

"Ah——"

"Hum——"

The girl's gloomy eyes looked persistent and focused at this time, and her hands holding the handle of the sword were slightly white because of the force. The high ponytail swayed slightly behind her head with the movement, and the hair was translucent.

Tsurumi's attitude towards kendo practice has always been meticulous.

But today is not the originally agreed kendo practice day.

Tsurumi has been a disciple of Kamiya for almost half a year, and now he often takes the initiative to come to Arakawa.

When Kamiya is free, he will give extra guidance to this hardworking second disciple. If he is not free, Tsurumi will practice on his own at the teacher's house.

If he stays late, he will stay in the room of the senior sister.

By the way, he can also study the relevant theoretical knowledge of the spirit control technique with the senior sister at night.

By now, Tsurumi Aoi has gotten used to this kind of daily routine.

When she arrived at Kamiya's house today, the teacher was busy, and Sanglang and Inugami were just exchanging combat skills in the basement.

Tsurumi came to the courtyard to practice kendo by herself.

After another set of Suzhen, the girl was a little tired, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and stopped to rest for a short time.

At this time, Tsurumi Aoi saw her younger senior sister, wearing a white loose T-shirt and shorts, wandering out from the other side of the yard.

Today, the senior sister seemed to be resting.

"Xiao Kui!"

Kanoya excitedly approached Tsurumi.

The two girls are Kamiya's disciples, and they often eat and live together. In addition, they have fought side by side more than once, and their relationship has become close.

The relationship between the same school is harmonious.

But having said that, sometimes Tsurumi still feels a little difficult to deal with because of the excessive energy and lively personality of the senior sister.

"Xiao Kui, have you finished Su Zhen? You've been practicing for a long time, right?"

"Actually, I..."

"Let me tell you a joke that I just saw!"

"Sister, I'm not done yet..."

"It's very interesting. Come and listen, come and listen."

Tsurumi Aoi:...

It's so dazzling, such a strong desire to share.

Seeing that the junior sister was a little relieved, Shikanoya slightly raised her nose and hummed: "If you laugh, you will go out with me to buy watermelon later!"

She knew that the junior sister had been swinging the wooden sword here for almost an afternoon, and it was time to take a break.

Faced with the enthusiastic proposal of the senior sister, Tsurumi Aoi sighed slightly: "Sister, if your joke is not funny, I will hit your head with the wooden sword."

Tsurumi has always respected the senior sister.

But for some reason, she didn't feel anything wrong when she blurted out this sentence.

On the contrary, Xiaolu was stunned.

It's really strange, how can Xiao Kui now take it for granted that she wants to hit my head?

This... is it because I was led astray by my master?

But Kanoya was still very confident about the jokes he was going to tell, and immediately patted his chest: "I just found out that I have a talent for telling Rakugo, so, deal!"

"Ahem!"

She cleared her throat, moved closer to Tsurumi, and naturally put her hand on Tsurumi's shoulder.

Tsurumi was already accustomed to the intimate contact of his senior sister and did not resist.

"So--" Xiaolu deliberately prolonged the tone a little, "Xiaokui, do you know what the British call people who have no body and no nose?"

Tsurumi reluctantly cooperated: "What is it?"

"Hmph~" Xiaolu raised the hand on Tsurumi's shoulder happily, "Nobody knows!"

Very pure Japanese English pronunciation.

After telling the joke, Kanoya looked at his junior sister's face with great interest, but found that Tsurumi's expression was extremely helpless.

"Eh? Look, Xiaokui. The body is body, the nose is nose, and when they are put together, it is..."

Xiaolu thought that the junior sister didn't understand the clever joke in his joke, so he explained, trying to achieve the effect of making people laugh again.

But before he finished explaining the joke, in Xiaolu's sight, the shadow of the wooden sword in the junior sister's hand had already covered his head...

Dingling——

The somewhat sultry summer breeze blew, making the wind chimes on the eaves jingle.

"Ouch!"

The wooden sword just tapped the top of Shikanoya's head lightly, just for the sake of it.

But the junior sister's temporary dream of telling Rakugo on a whim was extinguished.

...

Changshi.

Kaminari school.

Kamiyakawa, who had just settled Takihime in the emergency hospital, did not rush back to reality. He first went to Takamagahara to ring the bell to inform the medicine seller to come to discuss matters, and then went down to the exclusive martial arts field.

After groping around in the [Mirage Bag] for a few times, Kamiya immediately pulled out a strange-looking large sword.

The sword is four feet and five inches long, and the blade has a beautiful slightly curved arc.

The blade as a whole has a very strange fluorescent green color, and it flashes slightly.

What's more worth mentioning is that the blade of this entire sword is actually in a broken state, composed of hundreds of fragments pieced together. There are densely packed tiny cracks on the blade, and it doesn't look very solid to the naked eye.

This sword is called [Hotsugaru], and it has an "epic" appraisal rating in "Kaidan Monogatari".

It is the reward obtained after completing [The Hour of Demons·IX].

After completing this mission, in addition to this Hotaru Maru, Kamiya also received two Takamagahara pass tokens.

"Try the quality of this weapon."

Holding the handle of Hotaru Maru, Kamiya Kawa moved his mind and raised his hand to wave forward.

Buzz!

The green-light flashing large sword hummed and fell, but the blade burst in an instant.

Hundreds of irregular metal fragments, like fireflies on a summer night, spread and danced wildly, and rolled into sharp green rays, whistling in the direction of Kamiya Kawa's sword!

Buzz!

Kamiya retracted his hand, and the hundreds of blade fragments that flew out like fireflies hummed and flew back in a hurry, quickly rearranged on the handle, and condensed into a broken sword blade.

"Hotaru Maru... It's obviously a large sword, but it has a long-range attack mode, just like a firefly, which is quite interesting."

This newly acquired Hotaru Maru can also be regarded as a well-known and famous sword.

According to legend, it was forged by swordsmith Raikunitoshi and was the sword of Aso Koresumi, the tenth head of the Aso clan during the Northern and Southern Dynasties in Japan. Therefore, it is also called "Aso Hotaru".

It is said that in the Battle of Tatarahama, the Aso clan of the Southern Dynasty fought against the Northern Dynasty Ashikaga Takauji and others. As a result, the main camp collapsed due to a large number of traitors, and the head of the Aso clan at that time committed suicide.

However, Aso Koresumi, who was a descendant of the Aso clan, did not give up even after retreating. He continued to fight with the enemy with the Odachi in his hand. In the end, he was injured and cracks appeared on the Odachi, so he was forced to retreat with the remnants.

After Aso Koresumi and his party retreated to the residence to rest, Koresumi stood the Odachi against the wall because he was worried that there were still pursuers, and then fell asleep because of the heavy body.

That night, Koresumi dreamed that countless fireflies lingered around him, flew to the severely damaged Odachi and emitted bright light. After waking up, he pulled out the Odachi and found that all the cracks on the sword had been repaired.

Since then, this sword has been called "Hotsuna-maru".

"A strange sword that can repair itself."

Kamiya narrowed his eyes and looked at Hotsuna-maru again.

Through the appraisal of "Kaidan Monogatari", he knew that this sword also came with a strange war gray skill - [Firefly Dance].

Slightly different from the legend of Hotsuna-maru, this skill provides a certain "injury recovery" to the wielder.

In other words, it is not only a long-range weapon, but also a medical item.

A sword that can heal.

If it were two years ago, Kamiya Chuan would definitely use Hotsuna-maru as his main weapon.

But now...

Hotsuna-maru is not as strong as Doujikiri and Onikiri in terms of hard power, and its output in medium and long distances is not as good as the four thunder methods and [Three Thousand Worlds].

As for the medical effect of [Firefly Dance], it is not good enough for Kamiya.

The white powder with the "medicine" special effect of Prajna has a very strong healing ability.

And after experiencing the incident at Tianhu Rock, Kamiya is used to keeping the medicine for the wounds of the medicine seller by his side.

After a comparison, the Hotaru Maru, the main reward for [Occult Time IX], is a bit useless, and its actual effect is even less than the two pass tokens as a bonus.

It is actually not bad, but it cannot strengthen Kamiyagawa now. In a sense, it is more like a toy.

"It seems that the rewards of ordinary Occult Time missions are a little useless. It doesn't matter. You can give the Hotaru Maru to Tsurumi."

Fortunately, Kamiyagawa has trained two "small accounts".

The weapons and props that he can't use or have been eliminated can be handed over to his apprentices.

It is not a waste of internal resource iteration.

And Kamiyagawa knows that the second disciple Tsurumi Aoi has a "career plan" to collect all kinds of weapons because of his lack of magic talent.

It seems that he wants to use the skills of the exorcist weapon to assist in dealing with the changing situation on the battlefield.

It is hard to say whether this idea is feasible or not.

But it is indeed a good idea.

As a master, I have to support her to some extent.

This "Hotaru Maru" is just right for Tsurumi.

The second disciple's current equipment, Ichimonji can increase her strength and destructive power, and Smiley Aoki increases her battlefield mobility and defense.

The medium and long-range attack methods and self-healing skills attached to Hotaru are what Tsurumi lacks.

"Tsurumi has practiced the two-sword style of Katori Shinto-ryu quite well, but I don't know if she can use the three-sword switch."

Even if Tsurumi has excellent knives and can switch between three swords, if she wants to truly use the "hundred weapons" flexibly in battle, she can't operate it with just two hands.

You can't ask a pedicure woman to reattach Tsurumi's limbs.

In addition, carrying weapons is also a problem.

Kamiya feels that he still needs to think about and plan the training ideas of the second disciple.

...

Return to the present world from the ordinary world.

Kamiya woke up on the big bed in the master bedroom on the second floor, got up, pushed the door and went downstairs.

When he went down the stairs, he saw Kanoya walking in from the entrance of the corridor on the first floor.

The eldest disciple was holding a round watermelon in his arms, looking a little listless.

She soon noticed Shen Gu: "Master, do you want to eat watermelon? Oh... I need to put it in the refrigerator to cool it down for a while."

"What's wrong with you?"

"...Master, Xiao Kui doesn't think my jokes are funny."

Shen Gu Chuan:?

What is this girl talking about?

Why can't I understand?

"Master, didn't you notice? Xiao Kui is always tense and doesn't laugh much." Xiao Lu continued.

"Maybe because she doesn't like to laugh naturally."

"That's too much to say, Master! Xiaokui is your disciple. No matter how hard you try, it won't work if you don't relax."

"I see that there is nothing wrong with her. Instead of worrying about her, you should worry about yourself - did you have a little too easy today? Have you finished your homework for removing spirits?"

"I've finished everything!" Xiaolu hugged the watermelon in his arms a little tighter, "I only have one day off every two weeks, Master... be good to you."

Ever since Kanoya was given extra training in talisman skills by Kamiya and Onizuka, this girl's daily life has indeed become busier.

I used to have one day a week to catch my breath.

Now it takes half a month to take a day off.

Moreover, her platycodon talisman practice is making good progress. I believe that if she practices more diligently for a while, she can apply the skills from Juqiong Shrine to actual ghost removal.

As the master, Kamiyachuan saw all this.

Seeing the pitiful look on his eldest disciple's face, Kamiya finally stopped teasing her: "Don't worry about Tsurumi, she is much more cheerful now than when I first met her. She was very relaxed when she was with us."

"Eh? Really?" Lu Yewu became more energetic.

"Really, and I feel that she is very happy every time she comes to the house."

As the master of the human world, Kamiya could easily discern the true emotions of the second disciple.

Although on the surface it looks almost the same as before, I can feel that she is very satisfied with her current life.

Probably because I teach well, and also because I get along very well with Xiaolu.

After hearing what the master said, Kanoya finally no longer felt the frustration of failing to tell a joke.

Xiaokui may have felt funny in her heart just now, but she didn't laugh out loud!

Right, that is it.

I just said how could anyone not laugh at a joke?

"Deer, where is Tsurumi?"

"After you go out with me to buy watermelons and come back, you will go back to the yard to practice kendo."

"Then go and ask her to come over. I have something for you two."

"Okay~"

Lu Yewu trotted to the kitchen to put down the watermelon, and then ran out like a gust of wind.

Kamiya glanced at the eldest disciple who had somehow regained his energy, and said to himself that it seemed quite difficult to guess what this little kid was thinking today...

Later, Kamiya handed Hotaru to Tsurumi Aoi.

Of course, he did not neglect his disciple who entered the house. He gave [Qian Xi Nu's Smiling Teeth] to Xiaolu.

"Smiling Teeth" has little auxiliary effect on Kamiya's battlefield.

The "charm" effect of this prop on Kaidan is often not even comparable to that of Kamiya himself.

Therefore, it may be used to a greater extent if placed in the hands of the deer.
