The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

[Saki Kawasaki: Can we meet at 3 PM on Saturday?]

Suddenly, a message from Saki Kawasaki came through my phone.

Hachiman Hikigaya was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that she was referring to the fortune teller's request.

Saturday afternoon?

After looking at Yukinoshita and Yuihama for a while, Hachiman Hikigaya said it was feasible.

[Hachiman Hikigaya: No problem.]

[Kawasaki Saki: Okay, let's meet at the plaza at 2:30.]

After sending this message, Saki Kawasaki's profile picture went dark again.

"The square?"

Looking at the unusually familiar location on the screen, Hachiman Hikigaya rubbed his head.

Hopefully, that fortune teller can tell him what he wants...

Chapter 126 Shitamachi Goddess

Saturday afternoon at 2:25 pm.

Hachiman Hikigaya arrived at the meeting point five minutes early.

"You're early."

Just as I stopped to rest, Kawasaki Saki's voice came from behind me.

"Didn't you arrive early too?"

Turning around, Hachiman Hikigaya looked at Saki Kawasaki in a light blue casual outfit, scratched his head, and after a long pause, could only manage to say, "The clothes suit you quite well."

"let's go..."

Selectively ignoring Hachiman Hikigaya's compliments on her outfit, Saki Kawasaki turned and led the way toward the shop run by the old shaman in the downtown area.

.........

.........

Because a distinguished guest was coming to visit, Takeda Mie got up early today to clean her shop.

When she encountered customers who wanted to buy her Buddhist beads, she would simply chase them away.

After all, if that important person saw those little tricks used to fool ordinary people, the meeting would probably fall apart.

"Master, is the important person coming today very powerful?"

It's almost three o'clock.

Yuria Nibutō looked at Takeda Saegusa, who was pacing back and forth in the shop because of nervousness, and asked in confusion.

You should know that her master was already the strongest psychic in the entire Chiba area.

Could it be that the strongest person in the country is coming, and the one who makes the master so nervous?

"Not just amazing, it's incredibly amazing!"

Looking at his recently accepted disciple, Takeda Saeko gave a wry smile.

In front of those powerful figures, her strength was like that of an ant.

"Remember, talk less, look less, and do more! No matter what happens later, you absolutely must not make the adults angry, understand?"

Takeda Saegusa was very fond of her apprentice, Nibutō Yuria, who had a certain ability to see through things, so she earnestly advised Nibutō Yuria on things to be careful about.

"I understand!"

Seeing her master's serious expression, Yuria Nibutang naturally dared not disobey.

Just then, the wind chimes at the door rang.

Immediately afterwards, a young woman with a cold gaze and a stern face walked in.

Upon seeing the woman enter, Takeda Saeko's previously serious face instantly broke into a smile as she went to greet her.

"Is she the adult Master spoke of?"

Yuria Nibutō stared wide-eyed at the woman in front of her, who was being treated with humility and warmth by her master.

She has some doubts about life.

Isn't that the delinquent girl from the class next door?! How could she be the adult Master was talking about?!

Just as Yuria Nibutō was wondering if her master had mistaken someone for someone else, the wind chimes rang again.

This time, a boy stepped into the store.

Coincidentally, Yuria Nibutō also knew this person.

After all, those signature dead fish eyes are a rare sight.

Then, a scene that completely surprised Yuria Nibutō occurred.

Upon seeing Hachiman Hikigaya enter, Mie Takeda, who had been chatting enthusiastically with Saki Kawasaki, immediately went to greet him respectfully, addressing him as "Sir."

"Yulia!"

After respectfully greeting Hachiman Hikigaya, Takeda Saegusa was just about to make his apprentice's presence known to this exorcist.

After all, while Yuria Nibutō's spiritual vision could only see benevolent spirits, it still barely met the minimum standard for becoming an exorcist...

When she turned around, Yuria Nibutō was standing there, looking completely bewildered.

Seeing this, Takeda Saegusa was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot.

"Hello, I am Yuria Nibutō..."

Upon hearing Takeda Mie's words, Nigurodo Yuria finally came to her senses.

With a strange expression on her face, she walked timidly to Hachiman Hikigaya with her head down and briefly introduced herself.

"Ah hello."

Hachiman Hikigaya simply nodded to Yuria Nibutō as a greeting before turning his gaze to Mie Takeda.

After all, he wasn't like Yukinoshita, who had a name-memorizing maniac, and didn't know Yuria Nigurodo at all.

So where are those guys?

Although he had a lot of questions he wanted Takeda Mie to answer, Hikigaya Hachiman held back and decided to ask his questions after the exorcism request was over.

"Please follow me..."

Hachiman Hikigaya's words successfully stunned Mie Takeda.

Are exorcists really this direct?

There was no need for pleasantries or flattery; they just told him to take them to the evil spirits...

While inwardly criticizing him, Takeda Saegusa outwardly remained respectful as he led Hikigaya Hachiman and the others out of the shop and into a small alley in the commercial street.

"My lord, this is it..."

Gazing at the countless black shadows in the alleyway, Takeda Saegusa stepped aside, giving the stage to Hikigaya Hachiman.

[One Special-Grade Evil Spirit, three High-Grade Evil Spirits, and one Mid-Grade Evil Spirit... detected]

Just by glancing up into the alley, Hachiman Hikigaya's mind was bombarded with system notifications.

"A considerable number of low-level evil spirits! Could this place be a breeding ground for low-level evil spirits?"

Looking at the densely packed figures in the alley, a hint of surprise flashed across Hachiman Hikigaya's face.

This was the first time he had ever seen so many evil spirits.

However, although there are many evil spirits, most of them are only low-level evil spirits and are not worth worrying about at all.

"So, can you see it?"

Just as Hachiman Hikigaya was observing the evil spirits in the alley, Mie Takeda quietly retreated to Yuria Nigakudo's side and asked in a low voice.

Yuria Nibutō shook her head, a hint of guilt flashing across her face.

"I'm sorry, Master, I still can't see anything..."

"Is that so? Perhaps I was too impatient? After all, you've only been with me for a little over a week."

Upon hearing Yuria Nibutō's words, a visible disappointment appeared on Takeda Mitsue's face.

However, she quickly composed herself and a kind smile returned to her face.

During the conversation between master and disciple, Hachiman Hikigaya had already observed the entire situation of the evil spirits in the alley.

Although the alley is located in a somewhat remote area, it cannot be guaranteed that no passersby will ever come by.

In order to finish the battle quickly, Hachiman Hikigaya raised his hand and unleashed a Spirit Stream attack.

"boom!"

Takeda Saegusa and Nibutō Yuria only saw Hikigaya Hachiman raise his hand, and then a tremendous storm of spiritual energy gathered in his hand.

The next second, a huge gap appeared in the dense black shadows in Takeda Saegusa's eyes!

"Is this the power of an exorcist?"

Takeda Sae's face was filled with shock.

Even the horde of evil spirits that he couldn't handle in his prime were mostly wiped out by the exorcist before him with a mere wave of his hand.

The spiritual power she cultivated for decades was not even as much as the amount consumed by someone's single attack!

"Exorcists are truly terrifying..."

Chiba's strongest psychic, the shaman of the downtown area, Takeda Mie, looked at the back of the figure in front of her and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

Chapter 127 Killing Stone

"Did they wipe out a third of them directly?"

Gazing thoughtfully at the suddenly empty swarm of evil spirits before him, Hachiman Hikigaya observed his Spirit Flow Technique on his character panel, which had upgraded from beginner to intermediate level.
