Tokyo Ghost Story Capture Master

……

That night.

The cool moonlight and the dancing shadows of the trees.

In front of the torii gate of Takaten Shrine, a mysterious masked man walked on the shrine with a sword. He carried almost all the props for ghost stories and was fully prepared.

In the atrium of the shrine, the golden shadow still stood there. She had been waiting for a long time, looking up at the withered yellow leaves on the tops of the sycamore trees.

"Are you so nervous?"

The shadow of the goddess continued. She seemed to have no ill intentions and her tone was very frivolous.

"Can you please stop talking in my head? It feels disgusting." Dazai Xiu said, holding the handle of the knife tightly.

He couldn't be sure what the level of this golden shadow was, but at least it was a god. He couldn't be much weaker even if he thought about it. It would be very difficult to fight.

"Who are you? Why don't you let me be the Lord of God here?" Dazai Xiu asked her.

"With me here, I will surely lead this shrine to its peak and regain its glory. You are blocking the birth of the legend! Little sister! I am promoting the development of Tokyo's economy. Don't be ignorant of good and evil!"

"..."

The shadow faded away from the golden light on the edges, revealing a fiery red dress that was agile and seemed to be burning.

Her legs were bare, and her exposed shoulders, arms, and calves had lines like spreading flames from bottom to top. There were also burning red marks between her eyebrows, and her whole body was blooming like a raging fire.

She wears golden bells on her head.

"I'm Suzuhiko-hime."

She has a pair of red phoenix eyes and an expressionless face, but she looks very cold and charming.

He is both a god and a monster.

"Are you going? Now, here?!"

Dazai Xiu excitedly performed his sword stance.

"I don't want to fight you." Suzuhiko Ji was speechless.

"I know you want to occupy Gaotian Shrine, but you can't do it. Once you become the shrine lord, any shrine will turn from prosperity to decline." At this point, Suzuhiko-hime paused and then said: "If that happens , I’m afraid you will have to bear a huge debt.”

"Ah, why? Don't you believe in my entrepreneurial ability?" Dazai Xiu put on a pitiful expression.

"...No, I mean, the Lord of Ghosts and the Lord of God are different. Since ancient times, there has never been a reason why darkness can illuminate the way forward.

"Nowadays, hundreds of ghosts walk at night, and thousands of ghosts appear together. It is an era more chaotic than in ancient times, not to mention that there are still things scarier than ghosts among humans.

"The Rift Girl, Miss Mary, Hanako in the toilet, these monsters that didn't exist before have all appeared now. They have already surpassed Hyakki Yakou, and the times are progressing.

"You want to become a ghost master, not a god master. Isn't this what you have been doing so far? Why give up halfway?"

Dazai Shu put away his sword.

To be honest, he just wanted to make quick money, so he wanted to get this shrine. As a result, Suzuhiko-hime said so much that he was embarrassed.

"I don't want to become a ghost master. What is a ghost master?"

Dazai Xiu gave himself a thumbs up: "I am the man who wants to become a master of capturing monsters!"

"Ghost stories..."

Suzuhiko frowned.

She always felt that since she and Dazai Shu were not on the same channel, why couldn't what they said be right?

"Then just move towards that goal, wouldn't it be great? Why come here to become the Lord of God?" Suzuhiko Ji could only answer.

"But every time I accept a commission, I can only charge 10,000 fucking yen. Cerberus shakes his head when he sees it! If I don't find some part-time job, I won't even be able to afford dog food!"

Dazai Xiu spread his hands.

Suzuhiko Ji was stunned, "Although I don't quite understand why high school students are eager to make money. Is it because their life is unsatisfactory?"

"No, if I charge more money, a very powerful god will appear!" Osamu Dazai touched his chin, "Last time Amaterasu Omikami came out and hunted me down, which made me very stressed. !”

"Ah, this." Suzuhiko-hime finally understood what Dazai Shu meant.

“Even if you say that, I’m not very clear about the reason why you are watched by God.

"I just hope you can figure it out."

She turned around and walked around the atrium, raising her fingers to make signs in the air, leaving golden traces.

“The so-called God Lord exists to bless people. It doesn’t matter about self, it must sacrifice for others.

“Blessing the world and communicating with gods, this is what God mainly does, and this is what you can’t do.

"If you decide to be a god master, I'm afraid the fee you charge will become five yen."

"Then what if I sell the shrine?" Dazai Shu asked.

Suzuhiko Ji rolled her eyes at him and said, "You will be responsible for the consequences."

The affairs of gods are so complicated that even Suzuhiko-hime doesn't know why she is restricted from receiving a reward of 10,000 yen. She only talks about gods and ghosts.

Dazai Xiu bent down, picked up a withered yellow sycamore leaf on the ground, held it in his hand and turned it over.

He knew he was not an exorcist.

Now is not the time to fall out with God.

He asked himself.

Do you really want to be a god?

Or is it just a whim for money, without actually being mentally prepared?

What he wants to be must be purer.

"Anyway, you don't want me to take it, right?" Dazai Xiu asked her.

"You can't be the Lord of God. If you and your ghosts settle here, you will destroy all the faith accumulated by the shrine for hundreds of years. But if you don't want to hear this answer, then——

"Yes! You can't do it!" Suzuyanji replied.

She is determined.

It seems that she has run out of words. She explained it eloquently. Dazaishu has no reason not to believe it. If he is full of resentment and becomes the god master, I am afraid that sooner or later he will cause huge public anger and be attacked by both humans and gods. After all, it is for others. Blessings can only turn into curses.

"My goal is neither money nor status, these boring things." He clenched his fists.

“I’m going to become a master of capturing ghost stories!

"This is the only thing that will never change!"

After being rejected, he figured it out instead.

Suzuhiko Ji clasped her hands behind her back and looked at him, "Nowadays, there are many people from poor families and living in difficulty, and monsters like to target the poor most.

“Money can make the world go round.

“Now that you’ve agreed with your goal, you might as well just keep doing it.

"The key to Gao Tianyuan has fallen into your hands, and now you can travel more easily in the world of rules and ghost stories.

"By the way, the Metropolitan Police Department and Fujin Sect, you should be more careful with both sides."

Dazai Xiu raised his head, "Oh? Why?"

Fujin is easy to say, after all, it is a place where magicians gather together, so why should we be careful about the Metropolitan Police Department?

"If someone wants to kill all the ghosts, from a human perspective, he is certainly right. But you who have lived with ghosts for a long time may not necessarily think so. By then, you may feel that the Fujin Sect is the right one. It all depends on how you choose."
