Chapter 73 Prajna and Coffee
In the evening, Kamiyagawa, who was about to go to bed, would naturally not be tempted to drink a full-bodied black coffee.
Looking at Banruo's appearance, he laughed secretly, thinking to himself: "As a traditional ghost story, Banruo is very good at modern furniture."
Not only can you do housework more quickly, but you can even treat yourself with a cup of hot drink after work.
But think about it too.
In the map of Inunaki Pass that Banruo is in, tunnels have also been opened, cement roads have been paved, and there are even telephone booths.
"Perhaps the weirdos are also stepping into modernization to varying degrees, keeping pace with the times." Shen Guchuan took his eyes away from Banruo, who was baring his teeth and guarding food.
She can drink as much as she wants.
"Remember to wash the cup after drinking." Kamiyagawa shrugged and ordered like this.
Speaking of it, it is quite surprising that Kaidan is interested in the diet of strangers, and seems to be able to taste food and drinks in the real world.
However, Kamiyagawa felt that it would be more pleasing to the eyes and mind to take a sip of a cup of clear tea with a shiny tea set in the classical attire and temperament of Prajna.
"Oh, there seems to be no tea at home."
That's fine.
In fact, consistent with Kamiyagawa's feeling, his tsundere shikigami is really happy to drink tea.
But after finishing the housework, Banruo searched carefully in the small kitchen, but found no tea.
Only one box of instant coffee was found, already opened.
This box of instant coffee is a bit different from the normal ones. It is pure black coffee. It is obviously instant, but it is the original flavor without creamer and saccharin.
Kamiyagawa himself would not buy such a seemingly high-end and high-priced item.
It was a gift from Ikumi Kawai, the manager of the convenience store where he worked.
When Kamiyagawa came back from visiting Fukuoka before, he brought plum biscuits and Yame tea to the store manager as travel gifts.
Within a few days, the widow gave Shengu this imported instant coffee at a relatively high price as a gift in return.
It was the first time for Banruo to see coffee, holding the packaging box and carefully researching it for a long time, and finally estimated that this thing is about the same as tea, which belongs to brewing hot drinks.
I quietly brewed a cup for myself.
At this time, Hannya was sitting on the stool, seeing that Kamiyagawa only told him to remember to wash the cup after drinking the hot drink, other than that, he didn't give any strange orders, inexplicably showing a little pride as if he had won a battle expression.
"Hoo-hoo--"
Hannya blew on the rim of the mug.
Holding it high, he took a sip expectantly.
Warm black liquid flowed over the base of the tongue and into the throat.
"Ahem!" The ghost girl let out a very humane cough.
Alas!
This stuff is astringent and bitter!
Bitter than any tea!
Why would my onmyoji like to drink this kind of thing?
Kamiyagawa, who was packing up his books, looked up at his tsundere shikigami.
This guy... Sure enough, he didn't put sugar in his coffee, did he?
Sensing Kamiyagawa's eyes staring at him again, Hannya pretended to be calm and turned cold.
No, you must not be underestimated, if you don't finish drinking, you will lose!
Holding such a strange thought, Banruo tensed up, and continued to sip the cup of bitter coffee without sugar. After taking a few sips, he could not help but frown a little.
Kamiyagawa didn't say anything, just watched with interest.
After a while, the ghost girl finally drank the black liquid in the mug without wasting a single drop.
Victorious, but nasty.
My own onmyoji, the taste is so strange!
Kamiyagawa, who had been watching the show, said slowly, "Is it bitter? Next time you drink it, you can add sugar or milk."
Wisdom:! ?
The ghost girl stared at her onmyoji with wide eyes, and the two masks around her were spinning at high speed.
This person definitely did it on purpose!
For a moment, Hannya wanted to pull off her smiling face mask and put it on to fight Kamiyagawa.
But think about it... forget it.
It's better to wash the cups.
hateful!
"snort."
Xiao Banruo gave Kamiyagawa a last look in dissatisfaction, then jumped off the high stool, turned around and went to the small kitchen.
I don't know why, but when fighting in the strange story world, this guy is suspended in the air. But after staying at Kamiyagawa's house for a while, she became more willing to walk on her feet.
Standing or sitting, she resembles her master, and behaves more like a human.
clatter——
There was the sound of the sink being rinsed from the kitchenette.
Kamiyagawa, who was staying in the room, couldn't help laughing, saying that it was interesting to get along with this little tsundere shikigami.
He turned his head and looked towards the window of the room.
Outside, you can see tall buildings and skyscrapers in the distance of Tokyo, and the lights are bright. But the neon lights of the building can't fall into the low-rent apartment in this damp alley.
In the past nights, Kamiyagawa always felt a little lonely and lonely when looking out the window alone, feeling empty and itchy in his heart.
But this evening, this feeling seemed to be diluted a lot by the sound of the kitchen flushing.
"Is it because the ghost talk has added some vitality to my family?" Kamiyagawa thought so, and lay down on the bed.
Seriously, the idea is weird.
But not too bad.
"Hanna, if you want to go back to the Shikigami, you can go back by yourself at any time. I'm going to sleep." Kamiya said to the kitchen.
The sound of flushing stopped.
Slap.
Someone gently turned off the lights in the room for Kamiyagawa.
...
Have a good night's sleep.
After Kamiyagawa woke up the next day, he called Nagatomo Masao first.
He was ready to accept the entrustment of exorcising the spirit of Zashiki Doji.
There was no problem with Xiaopingtou, and the two made an appointment to meet next to the school in two hours.
After hanging up the phone, Kamiyagawa whispered to himself:
"This is very likely to be the beginning of my spirit removal business. If my strength can rise steadily in the future, it seems good to further develop the spirit removal business in reality. I can earn a lot of money in this line of work."
After a simple wash, Kamiyagawa was ready to go out.
By the time he reached the edge of the school on time with the bread bought on the roadside, Xiaopingtou was already waiting there early.
Sayuri Ishino didn't come today, and Masao Nagatomo was the only one who cooperated with Kamiyagawa's operation.
"Good morning, Nagatomo, have you been waiting long?" Kamiyagawa swallowed the bread he was chewing.
"No, no. I just arrived too." Changyou smiled, then scratched the back of his head, and said hesitantly, "Well, Kamiya-san. The price you mentioned yesterday..."
"That's right." Kamiyagawa nodded, and then gestured, "I won't ask you for more, 80,000."
On the way here, Shengu tried to insinuate the current market price of spirit removal from [Purple Above].
In the end, I learned that the general psychic masters go out to do simple exorcism tasks. If they do real swords and guns and ghost talks, the starting price must be at least 800,000 yen.
This is already a sewer level charge.
However, for slightly higher-strength spiritual masters, if they take on difficult tasks, their charges will increase exponentially.
Eliminating spirits is really profitable!
Shen Guchuan is quite conscientious, he feels that this is the first time he has accepted the entrustment of exorcising spirits, and his hands are relatively raw. And considering that Nagatomo Masao is just a high school student just like himself, and only charges him 80,000 yen.
Big bargains at the opening, jumping off the property price, breaking the bones.
