Tokyo Ghost Story Capture Master

Chapter 38 Procurement Time
Before heading to the H Tunnel, Dazai Shuu was left with only one day of buffering and preparation time.

If he had been the one to take over the commission instead of Endo Yumi, six days would have been saved.

However, it actually doesn't make much difference whether he is prepared or not. Dazai Xiu can't wait to fly over and catch all the ghosts in the tunnel right now.

If it weren't for the fact that it was Saturday, he wouldn't have stayed at home to wait and set off on the Shinkansen after school.

There is no other reason.

He wanted to enjoy a full Saturday.

In fact, in the school, many people chose to apply for registration for weekend cram schools. Of course, Dazai Shu was one of the few exceptions.

After getting up at ten o'clock in the morning, Dazai Shu washed up and walked from the bedroom to the living room. He saw Asuka Sachi already sitting on the sofa watching TV series. She crossed her smooth legs and held a bag of cumin beef-flavored potato chips.

The junior high school is also on holiday.

"Come on!" Dazai Xiu walked over, grabbed the potato chips in her arms, and took a sip.

"Ah!" Asuka Xing stretched out his hand to snatch it back.

Unfortunately it was too late.

This is nothing, most of it has already been eaten by my brother. He skips breakfast and grabs snacks from his sister. This is what Dazai Osamu does on weekends.

"Wow, woof!"

The Cerberus was behind the balcony window, shouting several times, as if it wanted to come in.

"Don't scream!" Asuka shouted pointing at it.

"Ugh..." The hell dog wilted.

Dazai Xiu interrupted and said: "After all, it was cultivated by me through hard work. Why did you keep it outside?"

"It's too noisy." Asuka replied simply.

She stood up and grabbed the potato chips.

Dazai Xiu could only spread his hands, indicating that there was nothing the Cerberus could do. If it wanted to breathe, it should stay on the balcony and play, and it couldn't enter the house.

"I'm going to Machida City tomorrow. There are a lot of strange stories happening in the tunnels there, and the client has a great status. He's a member of the assembly!"

Asuka glanced at him, the worry in his eyes was fleeting and quickly disappeared, "Can't I only earn 10,000 yen? Huh..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you don't understand! Girl!" Dazai Shu shook his index finger three times, "This is called hunger marketing. First, you can build the reputation of the firm through low prices, and then there will be more and more customers.

"Besides, the purpose of the firm is to make it affordable for ordinary people, just like a low-cost airline. You understand, right?"

The main thing is to capture, this is the point!

Asuka was speechless.

Of course she understands, but every time she sees Dazai Xiu running around and dealing with random weird stories, as a family member living together, how can we not worry?
There is no need to say this kind of thing from the heart...

"Leave me alone! Go away!"

Asuka Sachi lay on the sofa and kicked off her feet.

Although he is still a junior high school student, he is lying on the sofa watching TV series, but he looks like an uncle. He used to be very clingy to himself when he was a child. He is growing up so fast!

"Be careful of gaining weight!"

After Dazai Xiu finished speaking, he took the ghost story props in the storage room with him, then changed his clothes and went out.

……

Taking advantage of Saturday, Dazai Xiu wanted to go to supermarkets and various convenience stores to find some small ghost story props.

After all, this is Tokyo, not the wild, and his family has no fields to grow fruit.

Therefore, consumable props such as "Big~Rhizomes" must be purchased and replenished frequently.

The last time I was forced to use a "big root" when I was pressed into bed by a slit woman, I no longer have any at home.

"If you give me three days of light" has also been burned at Mana Sakura's house.

The so-called consumable props are meant for use and will be used sooner or later. If these props can help others, that is their greatest use.

So don't treat it like a treasure, it will only become dusty if left in the storage room.

Dazai Xiu slowly went downstairs. There was a lot of traffic outside the office building, and pedestrians passed by in a hurry.

The first floor is a coffee shop. Although the coffee sold there is not many varieties, the quality is quite good, and most of them can be used as consumable props.

Most of the coffee in the store can temporarily increase magic power, but preservation is a problem.

It’s best to drink it as soon as possible after buying it, and don’t leave it for a long time.

I usually just buy a few cups for my ghost talkers and let them have a good time.

Dazai Xiu pushed the door open and went in.

"Yo!" He greeted the old shopkeeper.

Because we are neighbors upstairs and downstairs, we are very helpful on weekdays, and the price is permanently discounted by 25%.

After all, Dazai Shu is also a regular customer.

He ordered a cup of mocha coffee with 70% sugar, sat on the round chair at the front desk, took out the "Sunny Day Doll Pendant" from his pocket, and threw it into the coffee.

"Drink, reward."

As mentioned before, Sunny Doll will benefit him if he follows the ghost stories approaching the Sano family.

A cup of coffee and that's about it.

While Sunny Baby was drinking, Dazai Xiu casually chatted with the old shop owner.

……

There is also a commercial area on Hojo Street, which is composed of many convenience stores and even a job market.

Dazai Xiu went in to buy groceries.

In front of the fruit stall, he saw "blueberries".

There is no doubt that it is a strange prop. Although it is not clear how it was produced, it is conceivable.

For example, in the planting area, there are strange stories passing by, and the magic power has infected the crops, fruits and vegetables in the field. The agricultural cooperative cannot see these things, so they send them to be sold.

"Blueberry" costs 598 yen per box. Unless it has incredible effects, Osamu Dazai will not buy it.

Apparently, it doesn't.

The cheapest apples in the store, a box of four, cost 429 yen originally and 398 yen after the price reduction. Although the price reduction is not much, I feel that buying apples is slightly more worthwhile than buying blueberries, and he is not eating them anyway.

Another point is that compared to most fruits, "apples" can provide simpler and more crude effects.

That is the blood volume and HP that restore Kaidan.

Depending on the quality of the apple, or its place of origin and value, the amount of HP restored can be determined.

He threw a box of apples that had the effect of restoring Kaitan's HP into the shopping cart.

Another thing you need to buy is vegetables.

The first is the "big ~ rhizome".

Its effect is very powerful and can make monsters and even humans enter a state of passionate excitement.

Simply put, it is blood rage.

In addition to "big rhizomes", Dazai Shu also purchased some other vegetable consumables in case of emergencies.

Even if it is fruits and vegetables with average effects, it is always good to eat some, and it can be regarded as a reward for the weekend.

Where the street leads to the park, there is a mobile crepe shop, and many adults and children line up.

Uh-huh! In Dazai Shu's pocket, the "interesting black eyepatch" was released, and Xiaomei appeared in front of him.

Her blond hair fell down, her delicate nose moved, and then she pointed to the crepe stand, "I want to eat this, it smells so good!"

Because she is in a spirit state, most people cannot see her, so her loving tail is simply exposed, standing upright and swaying from side to side excitedly.

Dazai Shu could only take out his wallet.

He turned over one of the 10,000 yen bills and saw the wrinkles on the banknotes. This one should have been paid to him by Mana Saakura at the end of the commission.

Well, let’s use this one!
