"Just think of it as a gift to Sakurai-san."
The bartender, who had no idea what Sakurai was thinking, smiled apologetically, then suppressed his shock and took out a set of the same waiter uniform as his own from the cupboard and handed it to Sakurai, then skillfully brought out a large portion of milk and fried rice.
The time now is a little after seven in the evening, and it is less than twelve hours since Sakurai set out.
Sakurai has completed the crusade against Kayako, and even...
Kayako has unknowingly upgraded herself to become the "King of Ghost Stories".
Maybe I can ask Sakurai-san to deal with that guy next time.
If the situation is appropriate.
His eyes flashed, and hidden behind that apologetic smile, the bartender secretly made up his mind.
certainly...
The bartender's thoughts looked like pure daze to Sakurai.
"Okay, stop daydreaming here."
"Combat uniform and shoulder bag, find a way to get me a new one."
"The battle with Kayako was a little loud."
In front of the bartender, he changed into a waiter's uniform with black and white as the main colors.
Sakurai tugged at his tie twice with some discomfort, and finally handed the last remaining pieces of his combat uniform and shoulder bag to the bartender after he was fully dressed.
"We'll find a way."
"Give us some time, we will find a way to completely repair your combat uniform and shoulder bag, Sakurai-kun."
Although he really wanted to show Sakurai, who only gave him problems, the dignity of an immortal, the bartender would slap him without hesitation considering Sakurai's character.
In addition, since he had indeed gained a lot of benefits from Sakurai during this period, the bartender agreed reluctantly.
"Thanks."
Nodding to the bartender, Sakurai quickly finished his first meal of the day, then turned and left the bartender's izakaya.
He won't come again in a short time.
after all...
He needs some time to adjust.
61. Have you heard of it? The Curse Game of Sachiko Called Happiness
Sakurai got on the motorcycle, holding the eight-sided silver hammer that had fallen silent in one hand.
Before the bartender completely repairs the shoulder bag, the Eight-sided Silver Hammer will have to stay in the colorful bag that he got from the H city site for a while.
I was quite foresighted to keep a storage item just in case.
Although it has no way of disagreeing now.
The spirits of the Wild God's Fang and the Eight-sided Bright Silver Hammer have both fallen silent.
This is all my mistake.
Sakurai knew this better than anyone else.
Sakurai took a long breath, leaned on the motorcycle and half closed his eyes.
so tired.
After this battle, I was so tired that I almost fell down.
In short, go back and have some sleep first, and then deal with other things later.
After making up his mind, Sakurai closed his eyes completely.
Autonomous driving and the like are so civilized.
Good night, this world.
......
......
After finishing the battle with Kayako, Sakurai, who regained his sense of pain, realized that he was not fit to fight now.
Add to that the silence of the two companions and the loss of storage items and combat uniforms.
No matter what, he had to temporarily stop his search for and attack on the powerful spirit.
You must be proficient in mastering your own body's condition.
Therefore, Sakurai began to master his strength and...
Get used to the pain.
For Sakurai, whose pain sense has recovered, the pain sense that came from nothing has become a major difficulty for him.
Now even the slightest collision would make him grimace for a long time.
In many ways, it's a bit too difficult.
Sakurai himself knows this...
After coming to this world, he had lost the feeling of pain for a long time and had long been accustomed to ignoring his own condition and fighting in a way that would lead to his death without defending.
Now, because of Kayako, he somehow regained his sense of pain.
Indeed, this was the result he hoped to achieve after the battle with the ghost army sergeant.
It is true that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages in the long run, but it would be funny if he cannot get used to the pain and makes mistakes in the next battle for this reason.
In any case, Sakurai didn't want this kind of Waterloo to happen to him.
Therefore, it is necessary to undergo hellish special training.
For this purpose, Sakurai specially borrowed three graduates from Xiao Yexiao and started a special training with no stopping time.
At first, he rolled on the ground in pain after being burned by the soul flame, and knelt on the ground in pain after his head was cut off by the invisible sword. When his body was blessed by [Hunger], he lay on the ground with a hideous face, and it took a long time for him to come back to his senses.
As time went on, and as his body was hit hard again and again, Sakurai gradually adapted to the pain, and later began to get used to it.
However, unlike Sakuragawa in his childhood, Sakurai now will never suffer the pain of eventually losing himself to fear and despair.
On the contrary, such pain will only make him stronger.
Now, in the demon sergeant's prayer called "Blessing", Sakurai ignored the pain in his body and tightly grasped the eight-sided bright silver hammer.
"eighty!"
The barrier Sakurai deployed to the fourth stage. Sakurai's mind was blank, and he was almost grimacing in pain from the grenade explosion. He ignored the strong pain feedback from his body, raised the eight-sided silver hammer without changing his expression, and smashed it heavily on the helmet of the American soldier.
Then he ignored the ghost sergeant who was left with only bones, turned around and left the nausea covered by the prayers of hunger and pain with difficulty.
After completing this step, Sakurai let out a long breath, then fell to the ground and began gasping for breath.
At the same time, the ghost sergeant turned into a pool of blood and poured into the Shiba Inu doll.
Over the past few days, he has to conduct at least ten special training sessions every day.
By the way, the project with Jiren Douji and Chiranji was completed three days ago.
It was originally planned to fight against the three graduates at the same time, but considering that the abilities of these three people could not be well matched, it was put on hold for the time being.
Anyway...
This was the first time he left the Ghost Sergeant's prayer range without any injury. At this point, the first phase of training should be considered over.
The rest will have to be accomplished in real combat.
At least what is certain is that his fighting ability will not be affected by the pain.
"Thanks, ghost sergeant."
After picking up the Shiba Inu doll that Ghost Corporal had boarded with, Sakurai expressed his sincere gratitude to him.
"Remember our agreement."
The Shiba Inu doll's eyes lit up with bloodshot. The ghost sergeant, who was also very tired after the past few days, answered Sakurai intermittently.
"Of course, how could I forget."
"I am a man of my words."
"If you still want to be free after everything is over, I will kill you with my own hands."
"You've seen it during training this period. I have this ability."
"Don't worry, I'll remember it."
Nodding, he forced the octagonal silver hammer into the bag, tied it casually with a knot and put it around his waist. Then Sakurai threw the Shiba Inu doll to Xiao Yexiao who was writing and drawing something in a notebook.
"But I still hope you can find the meaning of living."
"It would be a shame for a spirit of your level to disappear just like that."
From the bottom of his heart, Sakurai expressed his wishes to the ghost sergeant.
A flash of blood appeared, and finally the ghost army Cao calmed down and returned to Xiao Yexiao's mini backpack silently.
As a soldier, he was completely unable to deal with a straightforward guy like Sakurai.
Then...
A phone call came in with neither the phone number nor the name clearly visible.
The phone rang once, and then it was connected without giving Sakurai a chance to respond.
As far as Sakurai knows, there are only two people who would call in this way.
One is a ghost story about Miss Mary, and the other is a person whose identity remains unknown...
The owner and bartender of the izakaya.
After that day, Sakurai never received a call from Miss Mary, so if I guessed correctly, the person on the other end of the phone was only...
"Moshimoshi, Sakurai-san, have you heard of..."
"A supernatural game called "Happy Sachiko"?"
