The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

Just as Hachiman Hikigaya was about to say those words, he saw Yoshiteru Kajita on the ground looking at him with teary eyes.

Honestly, given the size of the wooden figure and that expression, there's absolutely no chance of anyone feeling sorry for him; it's definitely an eyesore.

"Sigh, I'm very busy."

Yes, that's true. After all, I'm busy slacking off every day and occasionally have to do exorcisms, so it's perfectly reasonable that I don't have time to teach tennis, right?

"but...."

Yoshiteru Zaimokuza was, after all, his best friend, and even Hachiman Hikigaya couldn't bear to see him break his promise.

Therefore, Hachiman Hikigaya came up with a good idea.

"but?"

Having heard what Hachiman Hikigaya had said before, Yoshiteru Zaimokuza had already given up hope. But when he heard Hachiman Hikigaya's tone change, his eyes were instantly filled with hope again.

"You can have him post a request in the Service Department. Given Yukinoshita's personality, she'll definitely help."

"Yes!"

Yi Hui, the woodworker, suddenly realized.

How could he forget about the Service Department?

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now..."

Seeing that Yoshiteru Zaimoto understood his meaning, Hachiman Hikigaya peeked out, looked around, and then left the stairwell.

"Small business..."

As soon as I returned to the classroom, Yui Yuigahama ran over with a look of utter dismay.

"Xiaoqi?"

Another strange way of addressing someone.

Hachiman Hikigaya thought to himself, but nodded in response to Yui Yuigahama's greeting.

He then sat down and waited quietly.

Sure enough, the next second, Yui Yuigahama tearfully told him about how she accidentally fell asleep during the exam.

"Waaaaah, even though I knew how to do all those problems after Xiaoxue's special training, I actually fell asleep halfway through..."

Holding her head, Yui Yuigahama remembered what she had said that morning: she would squeal like a pig if she fell asleep. She then began to sway and twist her body from side to side.

As Yuihama moved, the two enormous peaks in front of her swayed from side to side.

Faced with a scene that would make most boys' hearts race and their faces blush, Hachiman Hikigaya remained completely unmoved, replying with a blank "Oh" before continuing to ask:

"So how many questions did you do?"

"Um... I've finished the multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions, but I've only done half of the first and second essay questions..."

Upon hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's question, Yui Yuigahama stopped shaking and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she gave her answer.

Have you finished answering all the multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions?

Based on what Yui Yuigahama said, Hachiman Hikigaya recalled the contents of the test papers he had done before and began to estimate Yui Yuigahama's score.

"Xiaoqi?"

Seeing that Hachiman Hikigaya had suddenly fallen silent, Yui Yuigahama waved her hand in front of him.

"If you got the first big question right, then you won't need to take the make-up exam this time."

"Really?"

Yui Yuigahama showed a delighted expression upon hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's words.

Although she's a bit slow, she's still confident about the first big question!

Looks like I won't have to take a makeup exam this time...

"Don't be too happy, this is only the end of the first exam."

Looking at Yui Yuigahama, who was smiling and full of confidence, Hachiman Hikigaya couldn't help but give her a word of advice.

After all, excessive joy can lead to sorrow.

"Okay, okay, really, Xiao Qi, you're so long-winded!"

Hachiman Hikigaya ruthlessly shattered her beautiful fantasy. Yui Yuigahama made a face at him with dissatisfaction before running back to her seat to concentrate on reviewing the subjects she would be taking that afternoon.

"So why do you call me Little Enterprise? Weren't you staying home before?"

Watching Yui Yuigahama's departing figure, Hachiman Hikigaya shook his head. Just as he was about to take out his textbook to prepare for the afternoon's exam, a shadow fell over him.

Chapter 160 Hachiman's Doubts

"Eh?"

Noticing the large shadow cast on him, Hachiman Hikigaya looked up and saw Yumiko Miura staring down at him expressionlessly.

"Is there something you need, Miura-kun?"

For some reason, Hachiman Hikigaya felt a sudden sense of panic as he was being watched by Yumiko Miura.

He clearly didn't do anything wrong...

"Yui's here to see you again."

As she spoke, Yumiko Miura's face showed obvious dissatisfaction.

Furthermore, the way the two addressed each other changed from "squatting at home" to the more affectionate "Little Enterprise"...

"so?"

Swallowing hard, Hachiman Hikigaya asked cautiously.

"It's nothing. I was just a little surprised and touched to see that you had answered all the questions on the exam this morning, so I came to check on you."

With her arms crossed in front of her, Miura Yumiko maintained a haughty demeanor as she spoke.

"No, no, no, your statements are completely inconsistent, okay?"

Hachiman Hikigaya thought to himself.

They were just talking about Yui Yuigahama one minute, and then suddenly the conversation changed to about exams. The scene change was so abrupt!

"Isn't it the same with you?"

Hachiman Hikigaya responded to Yumiko Miura's question with a blank expression.

Honestly, compared to him, Miura Yumiko's performance during the exam was more surprising, wasn't it?

After all, she had been in a fairly relaxed state until last Friday.

She finished reviewing all the material for the exam in just two days over the weekend, and judging from her previous answering frequency, her accuracy rate should be quite high.

"Hmph, I have someone tutoring me!"

With a slight tilt of her chin, a hint of smugness flashed in Miura Yumiko's eyes.

Being neighbors with the University of Tokyo's Faculty of Medicine is something not everyone can have.

Not to mention, he's an exceptionally handsome man, and his family is incredibly wealthy...

Thinking of Inoue Yasutaka's warm smile, Miura Yumiko felt her cheeks burning.

Seriously, why is she suddenly acting like a lovesick fool?

She clearly likes Hayama...

"???"

Looking at Miura Yumiko, who suddenly covered her face and showed a shy expression, Hikigaya Hachiman was naturally confused.

He didn't do anything!

Why is Yumiko Miura suddenly making that expression?

"Well....."

Suddenly, a low, hoarse groan echoed in the classroom.

Under Hachiman Hikigaya's watchful gaze, an evil spirit gradually materialized from a group of students whose faces looked dejected and who clearly hadn't done well on their exams.

"Is this how evil spirits are born?"

Hachiman Hikigaya was slightly surprised when he first witnessed the birth of an evil spirit.

But on second thought, evil spirits are a combination of various negative things, so it's reasonable that they are born from negative emotions.

"boom!"

Just as Hachiman Hikigaya was about to kill the newly born evil spirit, he suddenly heard the sound of something falling to the ground.

Turning her head, she saw that Miura Yumiko, who had been blushing just moments before, was now looking nervously at the evil spirit that had been born earlier. Her figure, which could easily overwhelm most women of the same age, was now trembling slightly.

The sound just now was made when she accidentally bumped into the books on Hachiman Hikigaya's desk.

"No way?"

Looking at Miura Yumiko, Hachiman Hikigaya felt a sense of absurdity.

Whether one can see evil spirits is probably predetermined at birth.

He had already determined that Yumiko Miura was unable to see evil spirits.

but now......

Looking at Miura Yumiko, who was trying to appear calm, Hikigaya Hachiman gave up the idea of ​​making a move.

"I'm back!"

Taking a deep breath, Miura Yumiko deliberately walked around the front of the classroom before returning to her seat on the other side and starting to play on her phone.

However, judging from her absent-minded tapping on the screen, it was clear that Miura Yumiko's attention was still focused on the newly born evil spirit in the classroom.

Fortunately, the newly born evil spirit lingered in place for a while before floating out of the classroom and disappearing to who knows where.
