Chapter 37, Practice
It ended with Kagome running away in shame.
Night...
After dinner, the family was busy, and the dead soul worms began to return one after another, and the bellflower sorted out the collected information and remnant souls, leaving a part of the rations of the coconuts, and the rest was used to make the dead soul worms, and after adding more than 20 new ones, a new round of intelligence collection was arranged.
From a wide-area survey of Tokyo to a detailed local search.
There is no clear specific goal, just instructions to watch out for anomalies that do not make sense.
Ergoko sits in a dog squatting posture in the distance, looking at Kikyo in a complicated way, Toshio and Kusota are playing ball in the open space, Kagome is upstairs reviewing her homework, and Sadako is honestly standing by Kikyo's side.
The host of Sunset came to Kikyo leisurely and began to talk about the events of the day.
Kikyo listened quietly.
Things are not as easy as imagined, and it is normal to have twists and turns, but it is not as tortuous as imagined.
"In general, Kikyo-sama, the publicity is not ideal, my old friend said that he would come and see, but it is better not to have too high expectations, now there are hospitals and police, something happened, it is difficult to think of the first time to come to God..."
The little old man at dusk had some sadness on his face, and the revival of the shrine was very difficult.
"I wondered, is it a show, in this era, without packaging, no matter how good the goods are, they can't be sold."
"It's okay..."Kikyo shook his head lightly and said, "Don't be in a hurry, Sunset presided." ”
"I see, since Kikyo doesn't like to put on a show, let's wait for the time to come, and I will continue to do this well, old man." Sunset said.
"It's a simple matter, and although it's not common, it's not something that can be easily solved by modern technology." Kikyo said: "When you are cornered, you will naturally think of the three-foot god on your head, and you need to carry out targeted activities, for example, the family of someone who has been entangled by strange events recently. Kikyo said, "After a while, I'll give you a talisman that can sense anomalous things nearby." ”
The little old man's eyes lit up and he asked, "Kikyo-sama, can you let me see those things?" ”
"Yes, it's easy, but considering that you're older, don't be easily stimulated." Kikyo smiled.
After thinking about it, the little old man at sunset, who was originally very curious, extinguished his desire to find excitement.
"Okay, Kikyo-sama." Then he said: "I've already contacted the engineering team for the expansion of the shrine, and they are all famous companies that have renovated the big shrine, and it's the price..."
"There's no need to worry about that, there's no need to rush to expand now, it's good at the moment." Kikyo is embarrassed to say that he has no money, so he will drag it out first.
The little old man at sunset snickered a little and said, "It's good that Lord Kikyo knows it, and the old man is reporting the progress of the work." ”
"By the way, Abbot Sunset, are you going to let him inherit the shrine?" Kikyo asked.
Hearing this, the little old man's eyes lit up and asked, "What does Kikyo mean?" ”
"Although the qualifications are not very good, as an abbot, it is more than enough, and if the abbot agrees, I plan to teach grass too much." Kikyo said.
"Is it the ability to exorcise demons?" Abbot Sunset asked expectantly.
Nodding slightly, Kikyo said, "Yes and no, it's just some skills to distinguish evil, and teach Caotai to protect himself." ”
"Self-preservation?"
"Hmm." Kikyo nodded, and said: "Sunset Abbot, you and Tamako will not leave the shrine far away, within the scope of my care, and Kusata, although he is young now, he will probably leave the vicinity of the shrine if he will be admitted to high school or university in the future, and it will be okay if there is no accident in the bone well, but once something happens, the shrine will inevitably become a battlefield, and Kusata's body is outside the shrine..."
Without further explanation, Kikyo turned his head to look at Abbot Sunset.
"Let's do as Kikyo-sama wants." The little old man was in a heavy mood.
"Don't worry too much, Abbot Sunset, the future is uncertain, but it is inevitable to be prepared for what happens." Kikyo comforted softly, "After Caotai learns from me, he will grow into an excellent man in the future..."
"I believe Kikyo-sama, so, when does the study begin?" Abbot Sunset asked.
"Lay a solid foundation first, Kusa is a boy, and his physical strength is just beginning to grow, even if he can't win the enemy, he must be able to escape, so please ask the abbot of Sunset to work hard and supervise Caotai to run and exercise in the early morning every day."
As he spoke, Kikyo decided on an exercise program that was neither easy nor difficult.
In the distance, Kusata, who was playing with Toshio, sneezed inexplicably, attracting Toshio's curious eyes.
"This kid is pampered, it's time to practice well." The abbot of Sunset nodded affirmatively, and said with some gearing up: "Let him see the side of Grandpa and my devil coach!" ”
"At the beginning, let's set five kilometers, even crying and shouting and crawling to run the whole distance, don't feel sorry for Kusa when the time comes..."
The abbot shook his head again and again, promising that he wouldn't do, just kidding, as long as his grandson survived the basic exercise, he could learn magical skills, and there was nothing luckier in the world.
"When the grass is too used to it, I will gradually increase the intensity of the exercise, add more training items, and finally, I will teach him archery, the grass is too small to hold a long bow, but the training ground for archery should be prepared early, and the dojo for practice, I am going to build it in the mountains behind the shrine..."
"I'll have to worry about it in the future." The abbot of Sunset smiled happily and said, "Tomorrow I will go to inspect other people's dojos and make sure that they are beautiful." ”
Kikyo nodded and said, "By the way, Abbot Sunset, Kagome is going to practice with me tonight, and he may come back later, is there a shrine maiden costume worn by Kagome in the shrine?" ”
"Yes!" Abbot Sunset nodded affirmatively and said, "I have prepared the shrine maiden costume a long time ago, and it was originally for Kagome to dance the sacrificial dance in the shrine after the holiday. ”
"Then let her change it now, Kagome doesn't have a little witch consciousness now, let her realize her identity first."
"Miss, Miss Kagome brought it." At this time, Gacoco came to Kikyo's side and said softly.
"Sister Kikyo! If I don't review my homework, I'll be dead on the next test! With a white cloth tied around her head, dressed in a loose tracksuit, and her hair tied into a ponytail, Kagome came to the head of Kikyo and Sunset and complained.
"Kagome, read less useless books!" Facing his own granddaughter, the abbot finally had the majesty of his grandfather, and said sternly: "Now I can learn from Kikyo with peace of mind!" ”
"Grandpa! Will you help me with the exam!? It's a pity that in Kagome's eyes, his grandfather has no majesty at all, and when he heard this, he jumped to his feet frantically and said, "I will repeat the grade!" Repetition! Got it! I will be ridiculed by my juniors in the coming year! ”
"Abbot Sunset, you go and get the shrine maiden costume first, and I'll talk to Kagome about the matter." At this time, Kikyo said with a smile.
"Sister Kikyo, is there something important?" Kagome was a little curious.
"Well, since I'm your sister, it's necessary to prepare a powerful Shikigami for you." Turning his head, Kikyo smiled.
"Shikigami? Like Gaco and Miss Sadako? Hearing this, Kagome's eyes flashed with interest.
"That's right." Kikyo nodded and said, "Speaking of which, Inuyasha is your Shikigami. ”
"Huh?" Kagome was a little confused.
"The spirit rosary I made before my death was prepared for the control of the vicious god, but unfortunately, I fancy a stupid and cute monster, and I don't need this thing at all, since it was used by you, Inuyasha is also your Shikigami."
"I see," Kagome understood.
It's not that I don't need it, but I don't want to control Inuyasha and use it as a weapon for myself.
Sister Kikyo is really a gentle person...
