The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

In that case, he would definitely be laughed at by Yukinoshita and the others throughout the entire high school.

The demon was unusually cooperative with Hachiman Hikigaya's plans.

However, rather than cooperating, it would be more accurate to say that from the very beginning, both it and the Eye Demon's target was Hachiman Hikigaya.

Seeing the small cut made by the sword energy on his body, the head demon, who had completely merged with the eye demon, was stunned for a few seconds before turning around and chasing after Hachiman Hikigaya.

Chapter 145 Prepare Yourself!

Just as Hachiman Hikigaya was leading the mutated head demon to a secluded place, in Yumiko Miura's room, her genius neighbor from the University of Tokyo's medical school, Yasutaka Inoue, was explaining her homework to her.

"Yes, that's right. If we just apply this formula here, calculate the result, and then use the formula again, we can get the correct answer!"

Inoue Yasutaka watched with a smile as Miura Yumiko successfully solved the math problem in front of her using the method he had described.

He nodded, a smile of relief and satisfaction spreading across his face.

However, if Miura Yumiko, who was doing the calculations, were to turn around and look, she would find that the man who was earnestly explaining things to her had an empty look in his eyes, as if his attention had been drawn to something else.

"Is this okay?"

Having successfully calculated the answer, and after verifying that it was correct, Miura Yumiko excitedly clenched her fist.

If she can solve such a difficult problem, she'll definitely have no problem with the midterm exams next week!

"Hmm! Yumiko, you learn very quickly. If you keep this up, you'll definitely have no problem with next week's exam!"

"Not at all, it's all thanks to your excellent teaching, Mr. Inoue. Without you, I probably wouldn't have even been able to pass with my previous level..."

Upon hearing Inoue Yasutaka's praise, Miura Yumiko showed a pleased and excited expression.

"But all of this is the result of your own hard work, isn't it? I only played a mentoring role..."

With practiced ease, Inoue Yasutaka reached out and stroked Miura Yumiko's long, golden hair, looking at her with loving eyes like an elder.

"Mr. Inoue also played a significant role."

As Inoue Yasutaka stroked her hair, Miura Yumiko felt no aversion.

In her mind, it seemed that Inoue Yasutaka stroking her hair was already a common occurrence.

"Well, in that case, could I ask Yumiko for a favor?"

Upon hearing Miura Yumiko's words of gratitude, Inoue Yasutaka smiled with satisfaction.

"help?"

"Yes, it's just a small favor. The kind that Yumiko could easily do..."

............

"Isn't there a quiet place around here?"

Hachiman Hikigaya ran down the street.

He had been chased by the ghost behind him for more than ten minutes.

Then it seems that there are no abandoned construction sites or parks near Yotsuya Miko's house.

He had traveled so far, but all he could see were rows of residential houses, which left him speechless.

However, the next second, it seemed as if it was to slap Hachiman Hikigaya in the face.

An abandoned factory suddenly appeared in Hachiman Hikigaya's sight without any warning.

Although it felt a bit strange, the abandoned factory was indeed a good place to conceal the battle.

After unleashing a few more sword strikes to draw the hatred of the demon behind him, Hachiman Hikigaya quickly ran into the unknown factory.

The factory looked like it had only been abandoned recently.

The factory was not covered in dust.

Apart from the fact that all the equipment inside had been moved out, the entire factory was quite clean.

Run to the very center of the factory, ready for battle.

Accompanied by deafening footsteps that only he could hear, the massive head demon caught up.

"Then let's finish this quickly and apologize to Yotsuya Miko..."

The image of Yotsuya Miko's blushing face when he forcibly carried her out of the house flashed through his mind.

She must be dying of shame right now, being with Komachi.

However, he did this to save her life, so he can only ask her to forgive him if he offended her in any way.

"boom!"

As he was thinking this, the demon threw a punch at the spot where Hachiman Hikigaya was standing.

"I'm really very anxious..."

Looking at the Head Demon in front of him, whose strength had increased dramatically after absorbing the Eye Demon, Hachiman Hikigaya sighed softly.

Unfortunately, the head demon, who was originally a special-grade demon, absorbed an eye demon of the same grade. Although his strength reached about the peak of special-grade, he was still no match for him!

Hachiman Hikigaya dodged the punch thrown by the demon with a quick step and charged towards it using the Sun Breathing Technique.

Once he gets close enough to reach the Demon King, the battle will be over.

This wasn't because Hachiman Hikigaya was arrogant, but rather based on his experience gained from so many battles.

Don't let his knife get close to you, fight him from a distance!

The demon was originally prepared to let Hachiman Hikigaya come over so he could fight him in close combat.

However, a voice suddenly appeared in its mind.

Then, the eye in the very center of its head suddenly lit up.

Countless gray rays of light shot towards Hachiman Hikigaya!

"!!!"

As he watched the dense barrage of gray light shooting towards him, Hachiman Hikigaya's heart suddenly pounded.

You can’t resist forcefully!

With this realization, he turned around and dodged the head demon's attack, then darted to the other side and continued to approach the head demon.

"Roar!"

Countless heads opened their gaping mouths, emitting ear-piercing roars that temporarily slowed down Hachiman Hikigaya's speed.

Then the eye in the middle of his forehead lit up again and shot towards Hachiman Hikigaya.

"Sound waves slow down, plus a beam of light that can harm me?"

Unable to find a way to get close in a short time, Hachiman Hikigaya retreated to what he considered a safe distance and began to think of a countermeasure.

Although it's unclear what will happen when the light hits you, something very bad will certainly happen.

In addition, there's the pervasive slowing effect of sound waves...

"What a shameless evil spirit..."

Looking at the evil spirit standing in the distance, watching him, Hachiman Hikigaya's lips twitched.

Then a talisman appeared between his fingers.

"Since I can't get close, I'll just blast you to death from a distance!"

After so much training, Hachiman Hikigaya is no longer the dead-eyed boy who once roamed the world with only a basic demon-slaying sword.

With a flick of his finger, countless offensive talismans appeared in Hachiman Hikigaya's hand.

so......

Damn evil spirit, you better be prepared!

..................

"I miscalculated."

In Miura Yumiko's room, Inoue Yasutaka glanced at Miura Yumiko, whose eyes were vacant, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

Because Hachiman Hikigaya always used the Demon Slayer Sword for close combat, he always thought that Hachiman Hikigaya could only fight in close combat and lacked ranged attack methods.

That's why he sent his Eye Demon and Head Demon to Yotsuya Miko's house tonight.

After all, if the abilities of these two demons were combined, it would cause Hachiman Hikigaya, who is skilled in close combat, a lot of trouble.

To his surprise, Hachiman Hikigaya could use talismans for ranged attacks...

Looking at the head demon being bombarded by countless talismans in his field of vision, Inoue Yasutaka shook his head and severed the connection with the head demon.

Losing two general-level evil spirits is a loss, so be it.

Anyway, as long as he's still alive, and given some more time, ten general-level units can be replenished at any time...

Chapter 146 The Beginning of the Carnival Feast

"Speaking of which, this guy has already wiped out most of my men..."

Disconnected, Inoue Yasutaka rested his chin on one hand and tapped the table in front of him with the other, deep in thought.

The candlelight in the living room had long since been extinguished.

Instead, clusters of eerie green will-o'-the-wisps hovered above his head.

Including that good-for-nothing under Yukinoshita, the missing three-headed demon, and the three evil spirits he sent to their deaths.

Inoue Yasutaka's once large group of subordinates has shrunk by half.

"Five left won't look good. Luckily, there's a power outage tonight, so let those guys relax a bit..."

Inoue Yasutaka's eyes flickered.

Although there was an agreement with those important figures that they should never launch a large-scale attack on humanity.

But if too many of your own subordinates have been slaughtered, and some unexpected factors cause those mindless, low-level evil spirits to go out of control, then there's nothing you can do about it.

Thinking of this, Inoue Yasutaka's lips curled into a smile, and he opened his mouth.
