The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

After clearing his throat a few times to draw Hiratsuka Shizuka's attention, Hikigaya Hachiman indicated that Yuigahama Yui's science grades were passable.

"Oh?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka watched with great interest as Hikigaya Hachiman spoke up for Yui Yuigahama.

Especially after seeing Yui Yuigahama unconsciously hide behind him after he spoke, a meaningful expression appeared on his face.

Why do you think that, Hachiman?

Chapter 162 Hiratsuka Shizuka's Blind Date

"Because before the exam, Yukinoshita had been tutoring Yuihama."

Without the slightest hesitation, Hachiman Hikigaya brought out Yukino Yukinoshita, the great Buddha.

Hiratsuka Shizuka may not believe in Hikigaya Hachiman, nor may she believe in Yuigahama Yui, but she absolutely believes in Yukino Yukinoshita, the top student in her grade!

"Is that so?"

As expected, after hearing his explanation, Hiratsuka Shizuka showed an "I see" expression.

"In that case, I'll wait until the results come out before contacting you again."

If it's just that she fell asleep during the exam, Hiratsuka Shizuka can give her a private talk.

Therefore, Hiratsuka Shizuka waved her hand, indicating that Yui Yuigahama could leave.

"Hachiman, where are you planning to go? I just said that Yui Hama can leave."

Seeing that Hachiman Hikigaya was about to leave with Yui Yuigahama, Shizuka Hiratsuka quickly called him back.

"Teacher, is there something you need from me?"

After giving Yui Yuigahama a reassuring look, who was looking worried, Hachiman Hikigaya reluctantly turned back to face Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"Relax, you haven't done anything wrong lately, so I'm not here to cause you any trouble."

Hiratsuka Shizuka waved to Hachiman Hikigaya, indicating that he didn't need to be so nervous.

After all, she only grabbed Hachiman Hikigaya on short notice because she was too lazy to go find him later.

"so?"

Hachiman Hikigaya's face clearly showed disbelief.

"You know what happened Saturday night, right? Did you cause that?"

She picked out a bunch of lollipops from the drawer and placed them on her desk. Hiratsuka Shizuka picked one out and handed it to Hikigaya Hachiman, then tore open a package for herself and put it in her mouth.

"No."

Shaking his head, Hachiman Hikigaya denied that he was the culprit.

He then asked Hiratsuka Shizuka curiously how she knew about it.

"Have you forgotten that I have this?"

Upon hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's question, Shizuka Hiratsuka pointed speechlessly to the jade pendant in front of her.

Hachiman Hikigaya looked in the direction Shizuka Hiratsuka was pointing, but apart from towering peaks and deep ravines, he really couldn't see anything.

Noticing his face was getting hot, Hachiman Hikigaya awkwardly turned his face away.

"Tch, little virgin..."

Upon seeing Hachiman Hikigaya blush after only a few glances, Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't help but tease him.

You should know that when her blind dates met, her eyes were glued to her, as if she wanted to bury her head in them.

"Old maid..."

Upon hearing Hiratsuka Shizuka say that he was a virgin, a phrase that was inherently devastating, Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but retaliate.

"call!"

A gust of wind from a punch grazed past Hachiman Hikigaya's ear, and Shizuka Hiratsuka withdrew her fist with a forced smile.

"What did you just say?"

“Gurgle…”

Swallowing hard, Hachiman Hikigaya quickly waved his hand, indicating that he hadn't said anything taboo.

"Humph!"

Seeing Hachiman Hikigaya's alarmed expression, Shizuka Hiratsuka snorted and crossed her arms as she continued to explain why she knew about Saturday's incident.

"On Saturday night, while I was having dinner at a fancy restaurant, I suddenly felt that my jade pendant was extremely hot..."

At this point, Hiratsuka Shizuka seemed to recall something and suddenly blushed.

When Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly stopped speaking, Hikigaya Hachiman was taken aback for a moment. Then, remembering where Hiratsuka Shizuka usually kept the jade pendant, he had a look of sudden realization on his face.

"Idiot, even if you know, don't show it on your face!"

A chop to the head landed on Hachiman Hikigaya, and Shizuka Hiratsuka's face turned even redder.

So what happened next?

Touching his nose, Hachiman Hikigaya asked curiously.

Hachiman Hikigaya wasn't surprised that upscale restaurants continued operating even during power outages.

After all, compared to the daily revenue, the generator fuel cost is negligible.

What Hachiman Hikigaya was even more curious about was why Shizuka Hiratsuka would go to a high-end restaurant.

"When that thing comes to the restaurant, the power will naturally go out."

After calming herself down and her expression gradually returning to normal, Hiratsuka Shizuka heard Hikigaya Hachiman's words and her tone was tinged with annoyance.

"Then that old bastard I went on a blind date with actually tried to touch my leg!"

Perhaps because she was too angry, Hiratsuka Shizuka accidentally swore in front of the students.

However, because she spoke very softly and Hachiman Hikigaya had secretly placed a silencing note, she didn't have to worry about the other people in the office hearing what she had just said.

"So another blind date fell through?"

Seeing Hiratsuka Shizuka's indignant expression, Hikigaya Hachiman had a rough idea of ​​what would happen to that lecherous blind date.

"Of course. I beat him up in the dark and then left. But the power came back on just as I got to the door. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had to pay for the meal."

At this point, a hint of regret flashed across Hiratsuka Shizuka's face.

Clearly, in Shizuka Hiratsuka's eyes, the blind date on Saturday was less valuable than the cost of a meal.

Why would you go on a blind date with someone like that?

Upon hearing Hiratsuka Shizuka's complaint, Hikigaya Hachiman raised a question.

Given the background of the Hiratsuka Shizuka family, shouldn't her arranged marriages involve social elites?

"This is the trouble that adults face."

Hiratsuka Shizuka's words revealed a sense of helplessness.

What good is a powerful family background?

Although her parents always respected her wishes and allowed her to date freely, the other old folks in the family had always been eyeing her.

The blind dates they recommend are impossible to refuse, so all I can do is waste time meeting them and then making up some excuse to turn them down.

"wrong!"

Thinking about the bad things in her family, Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly raised her head.

"I was asking you what happened that day, right? How did you suddenly steer the conversation towards my blind date?!"

"Oh, well, I was just curious about it, so I asked..."

Hachiman Hikigaya gave an awkward laugh, his eyes darting around as he considered how to change the subject.

"You care about that more?"

Upon hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's answer, Shizuka Hiratsuka burst out laughing.

This guy, who hasn't even grown up yet, is already concerned about this kind of thing. Don't you think it's too early?

"Getting back to the point, you really didn't do what happened that night?"

Judging from the heat of the jade pendant, the number of evil spirits appearing around Hiratsuka Shizuka was quite large.

Besides exorcists, Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't think of anyone else who could subdue all evil spirits in an instant.

Chapter 163 Kawasaki Saki's Helplessness

"Of course it wasn't me, my strength hasn't reached that level yet..."

After saying that, Hachiman Hikigaya chuckled self-deprecatingly.

He wiped out almost all the evil spirits in the city in an instant. Even if he had advanced to the level of a Ghost King, he probably couldn't have done that.

"If it wasn't you, then that means..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka held her hand and began to ponder.

She believed that Hachiman Hikigaya would not lie to her about such matters.

If it wasn't him, then that means an exorcist passed by Chiba the day before yesterday!

"They might still be in Chiba."

Looking up, Hiratsuka Shizuka said meaningfully to Hikigaya Hachiman.

But Hachiman Hikigaya shook his head.

"If that exorcist really wanted to see me, he would have appeared long ago. However, he hasn't shown up, which means that the exorcist doesn't want to meet me right now."

"Is that so? But why..."

As fellow exorcists, there shouldn't be any problem with us greeting each other, right?

Even though we've already arrived in Chiba, why is that exorcist unwilling to meet Hachiman Hikigaya?
