This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

The reason why Asamiya Hitomi came to this cold drink shop was because she was going to take over the shift in the afternoon and planned to treat herself to some ice cream.

But what she didn't expect was that Beichuanji was also sitting in this cold drink shop.

I saw Kitagawaji sitting alone in a remote corner, and Asamiya Hitomi also had something to tell Kitagawaji——

So there was a scene where she came over to say hello.

"I see. I need to take over this afternoon..." Kitagawaji nodded, looking at Asamiya Hitomi with a hint of relief in his eyes.

Look at Hitomi Asamiya, she relies on the Asamiya family behind her, but she still insists on working.

Think again about Kitagawa Eri and Nakajima Mika at home...

Kitagawaji couldn't help but snap his fingers and asked, "Then what is Asamiya-san going to say?"

Well...

Asamiya Hitomi scooped a big spoonful of ice cream into her mouth, and after finally swallowing it, she said with a bright red face: "Actually, it's about Miss Tsuruta..."

Tsurutaya? The senior worker who insisted on forcing Hitomi Miya to enter the Church of Happiness and Truth?

Beichuan Temple's mind changed slightly.

After Asamiya Hitomi's talk, he also roughly learned where Tsurutaya was going after that.

After the Happy Truth Church was deemed an illegal religious organization, Tsurutaya disappeared from supermarkets. According to the store manager, he seemed to have resigned early.

"I see." Kitagawa Temple tapped his fingers on the table.

It seems that Tsurutaya's original target was Asamiya Hitomi. After the Happiness Shinrikyo organization was completely destroyed by the police, her original purpose was shelved.

This is a good thing, Asamiya Hitomi no longer has to be entangled by the other party.

Thinking of this, Beichuan Temple also said:

"Then Asamiya-san can now work with peace of mind, and no longer has to worry about Miss Tsuruta."

"That's what I said...but-" Asamiya Hitomi moved her mouth, and was about to say something, but she swallowed the words again.

This abnormal behavior was of course caught by Beichuan Temple. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked curiously: "But what?"

"...No, it's nothing." Asamiya Hitomi thought for a while and shook her head.

In fact, she wanted to tell Beichuan Temple that she seemed to always feel like someone was hiding in the dark and peering at her with cold eyes recently. But when I looked around carefully, I didn't find any suspicious characters.

This made Asamiya Hitomi a little uneasy.

Originally, she wanted to tell Beichuan Temple about this, but she thought that she had already troubled Beichuan Temple many times, and she was really embarrassed to ask her to speak again.

So here she hid the matter for the time being.

But just when Asamiya Hitomi lowered her head with a guilty conscience, Kitagawa Temple's eyes flickered, as if she understood something.

"Of course! Apart from this kind of thing, I actually have other things to ask Kitagawa-san..." Asamiya Hitomi stammered and spoke again, but halfway through she felt that she didn't say the right thing, so He waved his hands in panic: "No, no! I'm not talking about me! I have nothing to do with Bei, Beichuan-san! It's someone else, that... anyway... uh..."

Her flustered look made Kitagawaji rub his chin: "You don't have to be so nervous."

His calm tone allowed Asamiya Hitomi to regain some of her composure. She rubbed her head in embarrassment and giggled, then lowered her head and said what she wanted to say: "Actually, it's Haneda. The Master hopes to meet you. It was just the Beijing Festival some time ago, so he did not contact Kitagawa-san."

Master Haneda...?

As soon as he heard this name, Beichuan Temple thought of the monk with short hair and a kind face.

Without the help of Master Haneda, the curse that was attached to Hitomi Asamiya would have worsened long ago.

Since the incident involving the gods in the village was resolved, Beichuan Temple has occasionally kept in contact with the other party, sending a few emails to each other to say hello.

"Did Master Haneda say you have anything to do with me?" Beichuanji asked out of politeness.

"Well...because I said I would contact you proactively...so the content was not disclosed to me." Asamiya Hitomi replied hesitantly.

Beichuan Temple groaned.

It's unlikely that Host Haneda came to chat with him. It's very likely that the other party encountered something weird that couldn't be solved, so he thought of him.

Beichuan Temple drank the oolong tea at hand, and then asked: "Is Master Haneda still in the temple today?"

"Kitagawa-san, do you want to visit Master Haneda?" Hitomi Asamiya pulled her satchel and couldn't help but ask.

"Um."

Kitagawa Temple confirmed Asamiya Hitomi's guess.

Anyway, Kamiya Mirai is not around now, and he is very free this afternoon.

In addition, today is Saturday, so it is not too abrupt to visit each other.

If you have such a good opportunity, go over and see how the other party is doing, and ask what the situation is.

If it can be solved easily, then it can be solved easily. It can be regarded as repaying the favor of Master Haneda for taking him to Ibaraki Prefecture.

Beichuan Temple remembers these things very clearly.

Hitomi Asamiya thought for a while and replied: "Master Haneda... he should still be in the temple today. Unless he has something important to do on Saturdays and Sundays, he basically stays in the temple and chants sutras."

Then she twirled her fingers a little embarrassedly:

"I have to go to work in the afternoon... I can't go there with Kitagawa-san... I'm really, really sorry!"

After saying that, Asamiya Hitomi bowed vigorously to Kitagawaji.

But originally she was sitting on a bench, and this bow directly caused her forehead to hit the wooden table——

Bang! ! !

The tabletop couldn't help but tremble, and from this we could see just how strong Asamiya Hitomi's bow was.

it hurts.

Asamiya Hitomi covered her red forehead with tears in her eyes, and couldn't stop tugging at her mouth.

"..." Beichuan Temple.

Hitomi Asamiya is really the same as before, not much has changed.

"It's okay. I've been to Haneda Temple once too. Asamiya-san doesn't need to apologize." Kitagawa Temple took out a pack of wet wipes from his pocket: "Just put a little cold compress on it. I'll take my leave now."

"Okay, okay, thank you Kitagawa-san."

Asamiya Hitomi gently rubbed her little head and replied gratefully.

Beichuan Temple waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to pay attention, then stood up and left.

Seeing the figure of the other party walking away, Asamiya Hitomi put a tissue on her forehead and muttered to herself incomprehensively:

"I've practiced so many times, why are I still so nervous?...It hurts!"

Asamiya Hitomi stuck out her tongue in pain again.

the other side.

It actually didn't take long to get to Asamiya's house from the mall. Kitagawaji walked for almost seven minutes and arrived in front of Hanedaji.

Haneda Temple is still the same as when he came here two months ago.

Green pines, low walls, small and unique courtyards, winding stone roads...

Beichuan Temple did not rush in. Instead, he stood at the door and took out his cell phone to call Master Haneda.

He briefly explained the purpose of his visit on the phone, and then saw Master Haneda hurriedly walking out of the ancient temple.

"Brother Beichuan...it's been such a long time."

As soon as Master Haneda saw Kitagawa Temple, he smiled and announced the Buddha's name, and then greeted him affectionately.

"Long time no see, Master Haneda." Beichuanji responded, and then he entered Haneda Temple under the hospitality of Master Haneda.

There are only two or three young monks in Haneda Temple, and no one else can be seen.

Although these children were monks, Master Haneda did not let them shave their heads. Instead, he kept them looking like ordinary children, except that they all wore well-fitting monk robes and looked decent.

These children were all adopted by Master Haneda from various orphanages.

The last time Kitagawaji came over, he didn't see these children. That was because they were all hiding in their respective rooms to complete their homework.

And during holidays like Saturdays and Sundays, Master Haneda asked them to help him receive the pilgrims who came to visit him.

Beichuan Temple took one more look at these children, and then followed Master Haneda to an elegant room.

Master Haneda first lit the sandalwood placed in the corner, and then served the brewed tea with a gentle expression: "Brother Kitagawa, please use it."

When Beichuanji sat on the cushion and drank tea, Master Haneda said with some surprise: "Originally, I planned to go to see you, Brother Beichuan, in the past two days, but I didn't expect that you, Brother Beichuan, would show up today." I was really flattered that he took the initiative to come and visit.”

He continued: "Maybe Kitagawa brother doesn't know, but you are now a very famous figure in Tokyo circles."

"Oh?" Beichuan Temple's expression changed.

I don’t know much about Beichuan Temple.

He remembered that his main scope of activities as Master Kitagawa was only in Ibaraki Prefecture. Why did Master Haneda suddenly get involved in the Tokyo area?

Seeing that Kitagawaji didn't seem to understand, Master Haneda also enthusiastically explained: "Actually, Mr. Sugihara helped me... Mr. Sugihara, you should know, right? Brother Kitagawa?"

"I know that." Beichuan Temple nodded.

Did Sugiharagi do any free publicity behind the scenes? Beichuanji didn't know much about this kind of thing.

But even if Sugiharagi gave himself free publicity, Kitagawaji didn't particularly care.

"It was said that Kitagawa's brother expelled the evil spirit from Ibaraki Second Mental Hospital, and also revealed the affairs of the Suzuki Pharmaceutical Group... and the Hayakawa family..."

I don't know where Master Haneda heard so many rumors about him. Except for some secret actions of Beichuan Temple, Master Haneda clearly knows all the things that are solved in his capacity as Master Beichuan.

Kitagawaji stretched out his hand, stopped Master Haneda from continuing to speak, and brought the topic back on track:

"There is no need to explain my matter in detail for the time being. I heard from Asamiya-san that Master Haneda seems to have something to ask me about recently. What is that matter?"

After listening to Beichuanji's questioning words, Master Haneda stopped talking without finishing his story, coughed twice and replied: "I do have something I want to trouble Brother Beichuan...and I can also tell Brother Beichuan what happened this time. If successful, we will also be paid very handsomely."

A very generous reward?

Beichuan Temple's eyes flashed, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then asked with a calm face:

"So what is it?"

Seeing Beichuanji's mature and steady expression, Master Haneda sighed inwardly.

After not seeing each other for several months, Beichuanji was still the same as before, unmoved by money. This calm look was really unlike anything he could have at this age.

Master Haneda considered his words: "I think Mr. Kitagawa has roughly guessed the content of the matter, right?"

"Is it a commission about exterminating spirits?"

"good."

Master Haneda leaned slightly closer, his expression a little solemn: "It's just that this time the ghost removal commission is not as easy as usual, so even if the reward is generous, your own safety must be the first priority."

It seems that the risk of this ghost removal commission is very high. Even Master Haneda cannot guarantee that he can escape unscathed.

If you think about it carefully, this is indeed the case.

If the risks of exorcism were not high and the reward was rich, Master Haneda would not be able to ask Kitagawa Temple to come over and take a share of the pie.

After all, he also adopted some children in Haneda Temple.

He also sent these children to good schools. The money he received from the annual ghost removal commission and the offerings from pilgrims were basically invested in the tuition, clothing, food and accommodation of these children.

It would be too difficult to get Master Haneda to come up with the remaining money...

But these are all digressions.

Master Haneda briefly explained the contents of the spirit-removing commission to Kitagawa Temple.

"The Sifang family...restarted the altar?" Beichuan Temple raised his eyebrows after hearing this.

"Yes." Master Haneda took a sip of tea to moisten his throat: "For the Shifang family to reopen the Shifang altar enshrined in the family shrine, the two of us can each receive 10 million yen in reward."

Ten million yen.

This is indeed not a small amount.

If this commission is completed, next year's tuition fees for Hanedaji's three children will be covered.

No wonder Master Haneda is so anxious to find Beichuan Temple for cooperation.

but--

"There are still some things I don't understand." Beichuan Temple stretched out a finger and asked curiously: "Master Haneda, you just said it, besides us, there are two other magicians who can remove spirits... Or a witch?"

Yes, when Master Haneda explained it just now, he indeed mentioned that there would be two colleagues joining them.

In this way, the Sifang family would have to pay a price of 40 million yen.

Just to restart the family altar, so much money needs to be spent?

And who are those two colleagues?

To be honest, this is probably the first time Kitagawa Temple has come into contact with other people with special abilities except Master Haneda.

I don’t know what the other party’s situation is, and how strong their abilities can be?

Could it be more powerful than Kitagawa Temple?

Moreover, the situation of the Sifang Family Shrine is also concerning.

Since they have hired four spirit-removing mages, the situation at their family altar is not optimistic, right?

Master Haneda did not explain the information that should be explained, which left Kitagawa Temple somewhat confused.

Sifang family...

What exactly are they seeking?

Spend huge sums of money just to restart the altar...?

This is somewhat unlikely no matter how you think about it.
