Chapter 616: The Girl From the Underworld: The Queen's Throne

Sanzu River.

The underworld is as deep and dark as ever.

Especially on this side of the Zangtou River, the sky and the earth are mixed together, like a cup of turbid liquid. The upper sky is gray and sticky, and the barren land below is a shaky sediment. Gray stones and sand are intertwined, and the broken bones are exposed from them.

The ambiguity between heaven and earth is torn apart by the Styx River that crosses it.

The Styx River is rushing, and the dark river water is shimmering with a dim light. From time to time, dark waves splash up and fall on the barren land, making a hissing sound. Countless wronged souls sob in it, and the water mist in the crying is cold and cold.

But Sanzu River seems to be different from the past.

In the heavy, sad and chaotic atmosphere, there seems to be a little bit of a different breath.

It is a weak but majestic momentum, like death and reincarnation, ruthless and fair.

A rare sense of order belonging to the underworld.

It has been a long time since such momentum appeared in Sanzu River, and no relevant authority has been exercised for a long time.

"Oh? It seems here..."

The light was flying at the casket, and Kamiya River's tall figure was outlined.

As soon as he arrived at Sanzu River, he felt the different breath that was different from before, and quickly condensed his pupils and scanned around.

"Sir Kamiya, you are finally here."

Minamoto no Yoritomo, dressed in a black noble belt, was waiting by the side of the casket. This shrewd shogun has always been the spokesperson for the Styx.

"Well, are you praying to the shrine to see me? Tell me, what happened."

In fact, Kamiya River has already noticed it.

The change in the breath in Sanzu River, plus Minamoto no Yoritomo's request to see him at this time.

It is estimated that something happened to Yan Mo.

Minamoto Yoritomo, dressed in black, bowed his hands: "Sir Kamiya, Lord Enma seems to be waking up, you have to go and take a look."

"Okay, let's go to the other side."

Kamiya River nodded very straightforwardly.

As expected.

Things were almost as he expected.

Before going to the other side, in the distance of the desolate plain, another well-proportioned and stiff figure appeared, quickly approaching the sacred casket.

It was Bando, the "Captain of the Five-bar Mizuko" appointed by Kamiya River.

"Sir Kamiya."

Bando addressed Kamiya the same way as Minamoto Yoritomo.

This kid is not stupid. During the time he spent in Sanzu River, he realized how unusual Kamiya was--

He can freely cross two different worlds. He is not only the actual controller of this dark space, but also seems to control many other areas of the monster world.

This is really not something a human exorcist can do.

No wonder even Bando's "mother" Kishimo was polite to Kamiya River and lived under his roof politely.

"My mother asked me to find out the situation."

Bando, who was possessed by the human model, had an unchanged expression on his plastic face, but it could be felt that the soul of Mizuko, which was overlapping with the model, was still a little at a loss.

The ghosts currently active in the Styx area seemed to be able to sense the abnormality in the space. For example, those Mizuko ghosts who were ordered by Kamiyagawa to build stone towers in the Zantou River because they were too naughty, seemed to be much more obedient than usual, and hid back in the Jizo statue in panic.

"Let the demon mother have a good rest, it's not a big deal, it's just that the lord here seems to be waking up, everything is under control, you just stay here with peace of mind." Kamiyagawa smiled calmly.

The Styx forces had an agreement with Kamiyagawa before, and even if the second generation of Yama was awakened, the first generation of Yama's consciousness had already sold it to Kamiyagawa.

Even the wild skull that coexists with the second generation of Yama is theoretically Kamiya's Shikigami.

Of course, everything is still under control.

As he spoke, Kamiya handed Bando two more soul-soothing candles: "Take one to light for your mother, and the other is for you. You have managed your brothers and sisters who were originally disobedient well. Keep up the good work."

"Uh, thank you, Kamiya."

Bando took the two candles carefully and did not ask any more questions.

The child did feel the abnormality of the Styx today, and was uneasy and palpitating about it, always feeling that something big was going to happen.

But when he saw Kamiya and heard his promise, this feeling of uneasiness was quickly eliminated.

This adult seemed to have a temperament that convinced the ghost stories.

As long as he went to this station, even if he said nothing and did nothing, he could make Bando feel inexplicably at ease.

Perhaps the so-called leader should be such an existence?

Bando still had the mind of a teenager, and his considerations were not comprehensive, but he felt that as long as he followed this adult well, whether it was his mother or himself and his brothers and sisters, they should all live well.

It was better than staying in the real mountains anyway.

Here, even if the mother falls into a deep sleep due to weakness, there is no need to worry about the naughty brothers and sisters doing anything excessive, because Lord Kamiya will arrange and handle everything.

"Oh, by the way." After sending out two requiem candles, Kamiyagawa added additional explanations, "Because the lord here has woken up, you will probably have more work to do in the future. Your brothers and sisters are mainly not Those who are too obedient may not need to build stone towers in the future, but will directly participate in the reconstruction of Santu River. You should be mentally prepared in advance. As for how to do it specifically, I will send someone to assist you. 's mother's.

"I see."

"Very good. About next month, I will take time to take you back to the present world. You can go and meet the girl from Beishan Middle School."

"It doesn't have to be so fast. I can wait until my mother's condition gets better." Bando shook his head.

"Yeah, that's fine. Anyway, if you need anything, just come to Kanzaki and pray to the shrine, and I'll come over."

After a few more brief explanations, Kamiyagawa left with Minamoto Yoritomo.

On the desolate river plain, only Bando was left standing.

The lifeless mannequin's palms were slightly curled up, and he held the two requiem candles a little tighter, feeling the smooth touch on the surface of the candles.

"New job?"

Bando thought like this, and a funny idea suddenly came to his mind——

By the way, does it count as Kamiya-sama hiring child labor by letting his Mizuko brothers and sisters do the work?

But it’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Since arriving at Santuchuan, those naughty Shuizi have been ordered to "re-education through labor" to build stone towers endlessly. Their excessive energy has been vented, and they have indeed become more obedient than before.

The Japanese mother-in-law had no objection to this arrangement.

The ghost mother may be doting, and even if some of her children have bad natures, she is still unwilling to harm them directly. But it is acceptable to let them undergo some "reform through labor."

"What will this place look like in the future?"

The boy from Beishan Middle School couldn't answer this question for himself, but he just felt that it might be worth looking forward to.

He gathered his thoughts and with a relatively relaxed mood, he slowly walked back towards the direction of the Burial Head River with two candles in hand.

…

Across the River Styx.

The desolate skeleton transformed by Japan's number one soldier, Yukimura Sanada, still lies quietly across the sea of ​​flowers on the other side.

The bones of the skeleton are still unusually huge and thick. Each bone seems to have been polished by a grindstone. The surface is as smooth as a mirror, but extremely hard. These bones are connected to each other in a strange and complex way, forming a terrifying monster.

It is complemented by the mighty red armor like flames and a star pocket decorated with antlers and six cents. There is also the cross-word gun in the hand of the desolate skeleton, as well as the short knives and ribs inserted all over the body.

The bright flower balls swaying on the ground, the slender petals fluttering, and such a terrifying and heavy skeletal monster are frozen in the same scene.

"Desolate Skull still has no reaction."

Arriving at the sea of ​​flowers on the other side, Kamiya observed the desolate skeleton for a while.

Not much different from before.

But he can still feel the connection between the desolate skeleton and his own existence. This skeleton general is his shikigami.

Although he felt that the second generation of Yama was about to be born, Kamiya was not sure in what form the new master of the Styx would be completed.

Waited for some time.

Huhu——

In the sea of ​​bright red flowers on the other side, a burst of rising air suddenly rolled up, and countless broken petals floated up with the wind, like flames burning and extending towards the dim red sky.

Then, where the desolate skeleton was entrenched, a huge flower from the other side grew at an incomprehensible speed.

Those are the flower seeds planted by Kamiya River.

Almost in a breath, the huge flower ball bloomed. The petals, as red as blood, trembled slightly, forming a slender figure.

It was a cold girl who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old.

The upper body he is wearing may be an old-fashioned sailor uniform from the Kanto region. The black uniform is embellished with a wide white placket and is meticulously tied with a red ribbon.

The lower body is in a pleated skirt, the legs are wrapped in see-through black stockings, and below the ankles are a pair of spotless uniform leather shoes.

"Um?"

Kamiyakawa was a little surprised.

The flower seeds you planted bloomed and bore fruit, and finally a JK girl grew out?

All right.

This should be the second generation Lord Yama.

But why does it look like this?

Kaka——

The desolate skeleton was inspired and became active.

A huge skeletal monster towers up from the ground, its white bones and red armor covering the sky and the sun. Its mandibles opened, letting out a deafening roar of chaos. The two eye sockets were originally empty, but at this moment, they flashed with pupil fire light that seemed to be able to swallow all life, deeply imprinted with death and fear.

The desolate skull opened its left hand towards the huge blooming flower ball from the other side.

The girl born from the flower ball sat down naturally and dignifiedly on the pale hand bones of the skeletal monster.

The clean black uniform was in sharp contrast to the skeletal giant wearing damaged red armor.

The desolate skull's temperament is hard and wild, which further highlights the softness and rationality of the girl in its hand.

The skeleton's hand bones slowly drooped, stopping at Kamiyagawa's eye level.

Kamiya met the girl's eyes.

"Did you wake me up?"

The girl's eyes were drooping, her eyes were warm and gentle, she just stared at Kamiya Kawa quietly, with an intellectuality that was not in line with her age.

But her simple and upright body did not make her look innocent and simple because of the lack of sharpness.

Her temperament was indeed a bit strange.

"Yeah."

Kamiya nodded.

Yes, I am your Master!

"Oh."

The girl replied coldly, and then looked around, as if trying to understand and analyze her current situation.

"Do you know who you are?" Kamiya asked her.

"I am Kaoru Kaoru. Well... not completely, I have the consciousness of Yama integrated into my body. So, I am the new Lord Yama. In addition, although I don't know why, I seem to have to obey you to a certain extent."

The girl retracted her gaze and answered like a memory.

Maybe it was the influence of the first generation of Yama's consciousness, she seemed to have a clear understanding of her situation.

It also saved Kamiya Kawa from explaining.

However, this JK said her name was Kaoru Kaoru.

A human name.

Perhaps before she became the second-generation Yama, her main consciousness was originally a human?

In addition, with the birth of this JK girl, the twin second-generation Yama should be considered to be fully supplemented.

Kamiya Kawa can feel that the Arakan Skull belonging to him is undoubtedly the strength of the Arakan God.

But this new JK... It's hard to say, it's not very clear.

There is a slender and fragile breath on her body, but it is obviously related to the breath of the Sanzu River. Perhaps because she is Yama, her strength is related to the Sanzu River itself?

Stopping looking at Kaoru Kaoru, Kamiya first briefly responded to the other party's doubts: "You were born from the flower seeds I planted, awakened by me, and obeyed me, which is quite reasonable, right?"

"So, you made me what I am now?"

"Is... right?"

"Then will you be responsible for me now?"

"Uh, yes."

Although it feels weird, Kamiya still nodded.

"I understand."

The girl named Kaoru Kaoru still sat in the palm of the skull, gently raised her right leg, her knee-length pleated skirt swayed, and her well-proportioned legs wrapped in black stockings were crossed.

She wore a black and white headband with a retro style on her head, and held a delicate and simple folding fan in her hand.

The Yanma girl put the folding fan against her chin, looking thoughtful. Then she waved her hand again, and the small folding fan pointed at Kamiya, and it opened with a "snap".

On the white fan, there were black characters written in a flamboyant style -

[Empress Throne]

Kamiyakawa:?

Oh, she's still a middle school girl.

Kaoru Kaoru didn't seem to care about the subtle changes in Kamiya's expression. She was unmoved and just said:

"In that case, take me to a place."

"Where do you want to go?"

Faced with the request made by the slender and cold girl on the weird and hideous skull in the gorgeous sea of ​​red spider lilies, Kamiya Kawa was going to agree to it.

Who told me to be your Master?
