"By the way, it would be even better if it was accompanied by a picture of you guys in pajamas eating a bento together. Now the cute girls' selfies are very popular... I'll ask you, next time I will give you an electronic coupon for the staff in the front hall. …”

Sousuke Araki didn't know anything about what happened behind him, and was still trying to tell Kotori Yumayumi how to praise him.

A drop of sweat slid down Yumayumi's forehead.

"This is Mr. Araki's real 'job...? Just the bombardment of the shikigami can make multiple resentful spirits become Buddhas at the same time... What kind of terrifying shikigami is being used in Mr. Araki's body?"

Speaking of which, have the rest of the Earthbound Spirits been "enlightened" by Araki-sensei on the way up the stairs?

Looking at the stairwell where the earthbound spirits no longer gushed out, and the quietness was restored, Tori Yumayumi suddenly realized.

"Oh, yes... I almost forgot!!"

After Araki Sousuke said bitterly, he seemed to remember something again, and said in a very serious voice.

Kotori Yumayumi immediately looked at him seriously.

After the "fierce battle" with the Earthbound Spirit, Araki-sensei must have discovered an important clue about this apartment and asked himself.

I saw Sousuke Araki stretched out his hands in a naive way and pointed at her one after the other...

"I'm just a passing Ghost Rider, remember it for me!"

The second line of the middle school was played loudly in his belt, resounding in the corridor.

"Shh".

Just when the little bird Yumayumi was bewildered.

The elevator opposite the door of the stairwell slowly opened.

"The elevator goes down."

In the elevator, the woman in red with a thick foundation and a pale face said something expressionless.

"LUCKY! Is the elevator repaired? Now you don't have to climb the stairs... Just jam, I'll distribute the next order, see you later."

A high-end apartment is really a high-end apartment, and it can even afford a beautiful elevator operator.

Glancing at his phone, he waved handsomely at Yumayumi Tori who was carrying a bento and petrified on the spot. Sousuke Araki, dressed as a "ghost rider", turned around and walked quickly into the elevator.

"That elevator..."

After a long while, when the elevator door closed, Yumako Tori opened his mouth to say something, and closed his mouth as if giving up.

What are you thinking about? How can a powerful spirit remover like Mr. Araki be worried about him?

Looking at the tiny dots of light scattered in the stairwell, she smiled self-deprecatingly.

After Sousuke Araki entered, the elevator door slowly closed, and the woman in red turned her back to him, and laughed secretly.

The elevator began to descend slowly, and the floor lights began to flash.

"6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1..."

As if endless black energy poured into Sosuke Araki from around the elevator.

The smile of the woman in red gradually solidified on her face.

When it came to "1", the elevator didn't open.

The feeling of falling down continues.

The numbers of the indicator lights continued to beat.

"-1, -2, -3, -4..."

"Huh? What's this...Is the indicator light of the broken elevator broken? Why hasn't the door been opened yet?"

Sousuke Araki discovered something was wrong, and a strong sense of crisis emerged in his heart.

If I were locked in the elevator...

The orders that have already been allocated cannot be completed in time... Bad reviews from customers... Salary deduction... Unable to pay rent, water and electricity... On the road of crime... Go to jail... prisonmates lose soap...

The elevator operator in front of him seemed stunned, just staring blankly at the button in front of him that didn't move.

In times of crisis, you can only save yourself.

"This... which button should I press if the elevator indicator light is broken and the door is not opened?"

Sousuke Araki suddenly remembered the "Common sense of first aid for elevator accidents" that he had read on the 2CH forum before.

He immediately pushed the useless elevator operator away, reached out and quickly pressed all the buttons on the elevator panel.

With Sousuke Araki's actions, a lot of resentment poured into him from the elevator panel.

The red-clothed woman squeezed with him, and together with the entire elevator, a holy glow burst forth.

The elevator then stopped steadily.

The number on the indicator light also returned to "1".

The method taught on the forum is quite effective.

"For such a high-end apartment, the elevator maintenance person must usually get kickbacks. The quality is not good."

As the elevator door opened, Sousuke Araki, who had been falsely alarmed, walked out quickly.

Behind him, the woman in the elevator folded her hands and seemed to be apologetic for what happened just now. She smiled and sent him away.

……

Just as Kukai and the two were chanting Buddhist scriptures and continuing down the stairs, purifying the earth binding spirit all the way.

The surrounding scene suddenly changed.

The two actually returned to the stairwell on the first floor.

At this moment, the apartment is no longer mottled, dilapidated and blood-stained, but restored to its original elegance and cleanliness.

"Brush".

Just when the two were stunned in the stairwell.

The elevator door facing the stairwell opened.

A man wearing a ghost-faced helmet, a leather suit, and a thick belt came out with an unstoppable aura.

A lot of grievances poured in from all directions of the entire apartment, like black wings, pouring into the man's body.

Behind him, the entire elevator, together with the strange red-clothed woman in the elevator, lit up with holy fluorescence...

"Amitabha... My Buddha is compassionate..."

When Kukai "sees" this scene, he actually takes off the hat above his head, kneels straight down, and calls out the Buddha's name.

"Becoming...a Buddha?"

Hongfa was also stunned for a moment, and quickly followed Kukai to take off his hat, and leaned down to worship.

The faint fluorescence in the elevator and the clean foreheads of the two of them matched each other brightly~lightnovelpub.net~ When the woman in the elevator completely turned into a spot of light and the whole apartment returned to its original state of calm, the rider had already reached the parking lot. In front of the locomotive at the door of the apartment.

"Donor, please stay..."

Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Kong Hai, who was trembling before, actually burst out with a speed like light power. Before Hongfa could react, he stopped in front of the rider and gently pulled the other party's sleeves.

"Yes, you are……"

The sleeves were suddenly pulled, and Sousuke Araki, who had already ridden on the bike, turned around in confusion.

"The donor still remembers the poor monk..."

"You're... the MLM monk who cheated me for 150 yen under the Hachiko statue last time?! It's really hard to come out to work so late..."

In the evening, the two people wearing hats and black robes, Araki Sousuke looked suspicious.

"Amitabha, the donor's Buddhist teaching is so profound that he can actually turn this strange into a Buddha... The poor monk tried to accept the donor as his disciple last time, which is really beyond..."

"What are you talking about, what kind of quirks, becoming a Buddha? Don't pull me, I finally got out of the malfunctioning elevator, and I'm still rushing to deliver the next order..."

Sousuke Araki looked at Kukai with an inexplicable look on his face.

"Amitabha, it seems that the benefactor really doesn't know what happened... The benefactor is a reincarnated venerable venerable person, who is blessed by God with eyesight, but he doesn't know the truth of the dharma world, and he is in it without knowing it. It's a pity for Buddhism."

Using "heart eyes" to confirm that Sousuke Araki's words were not lies, combined with what happened in front of the station last time, Kukai suddenly grasped the crux of the matter.

"I can't bear to see the venerable being bound by the mortal world. Kong Hai is willing to devote ten years of skill to empower the venerable, to enlighten the Alaya knowledge and discern the truth of the Dharma realm..."
