The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

As soon as Hachiman Hikigaya sat down in the living room, Taishi Kawasaki, who was sitting across the table rubbing his buttocks, bowed his head and apologized to him.

"I'm fine, but are you alright?"

Upon seeing this, Hachiman Hikigaya quickly waved his hand, while looking at the other person's buttocks with concern.

Judging from the commotion just now, Kawasaki Saki was quite ruthless.

Upon hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's words, Taishi Kawasaki's face contorted in pain, while he looked at him with a resentful expression.

I finally managed to distract myself, but now my butt is starting to hurt again...

"Feel sorry....."

Looking at Kawasaki Taishi's expression, Hikigaya Hachiman knew that he had reminded him of some unpleasant things.

He turned his head away, deliberately avoiding eye contact with Kawasaki Taishi, while inwardly urging Kawasaki Saki not to come out of the kitchen yet.

"Big brother, would you like some cake?"

Suddenly, a fork with a cake sticking out of it appeared in front of Hachiman Hikigaya.

Hachiman Hikigaya followed the hand holding the fork and looked at the little girl, Kyoka Kawasaki.

The little loli had cream all over her mouth and was holding a cake, looking at him longingly.

With a kind smile, Hachiman Hikigaya shook his head, refusing the little loli's offer to feed him: "Thank you, but I'm not hungry right now. You can have the cake yourself."

"Ok!"

Hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's words, the little loli nodded, then turned around and plopped down in his lap.

"Eh?"

Feeling a sudden weight in his arms, Hachiman Hikigaya tensed up abruptly, then relaxed again.

Looking at Kyoka Kawasaki sitting in his lap, Hachiman Hikigaya had a sense of unreality.

Besides Komachi, there are other girls who are willing to be so close to him...

"Jinghua, don't sit on the guest like that, it will bother him!"

Kawasaki Saki came out of the kitchen with a cup of freshly brewed tea. As soon as she entered the living room, she saw her younger sister sitting on Hachiman Hikigaya's lap eating cake.

A hint of helplessness immediately appeared on her face.

"It's okay, I'm fine..."

Hachiman Hikigaya quickly waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind the little loli sitting on him.

He'd be overjoyed by this, so how could he possibly feel troubled?

"......"

Upon hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's words, Saki Kawasaki's gaze towards him instantly changed.

Could this guy be a loli fetishist?

If that's the case, then you should keep your sister away from him.

"Oh, by the way, did you come to see us because you need something?"

After quietly finishing his cake and taking a sip of tea, Kawasaki Taishi suddenly became curious about the purpose of Hachiman Hikigaya's visit.

"Ah, this..."

Hachiman Hikigaya and Saki Kawasaki's expressions froze instantly.

Chapter 24 The Deal with Saki Kawasaki

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Seeing the sudden change in their expressions, Kawasaki Taishi tilted his head in confusion.

Was the question he asked strange?

Since Hachiman Hikigaya isn't my sister's boyfriend, he must have something to do when he comes to my house, right?

"This is a long story..."

Hachiman Hikigaya's gaze darted around the living room, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.

How should he explain to Taishi Kawasaki that he came to visit him?

With a pleading look in his eyes, Hachiman Hikigaya turned to Saki Kawasaki, hoping she could help him out of this predicament.

"Ugh..."

Seeing the pleading look in Hachiman Hikigaya's eyes, Saki Kawasaki sighed inwardly and looked up at her younger brother.

"Great ambition..."

"Well, what's the matter?"

Hearing his sister call his name, Kawasaki Taishi turned to look at Kawasaki Saki.

"Your monthly exam results should be out by now, right?"

In just one sentence, Kawasaki Taishi's expression changed completely.

"Not yet...."

Kawasaki Taishi stammered as he spoke.

But judging from his shifty eyes and the guilty expression on his face...

Anyone with eyes can see he's lying.

Normally, Kawasaki Saki would pinch her younger brother's ear to let him feel the care from his older sister.

But today, in order to help Hachiman Hikigaya out of this predicament, she could only sigh and say to her brother, "In that case, hurry upstairs and go study..."

"Yes!"

Having received instructions from Kawasaki Saki, Kawasaki Taishi no longer cared what Hachiman Hikigaya was doing at his house.

Kawasaki Taishi scrambled up from the tatami mat and fled in panic.

"Alright, if you have nothing else to do, you can go upstairs now. I'll call you when dinner is ready."

After dealing with Kawasaki Taishi, Kawasaki Saki turned her attention to her two younger siblings who were still lingering in the living room.

Having learned from Kawasaki Taishi's experience, Kawasaki Saki's other younger brother, without her having to say much, proactively stated that he loved studying and that she should not disturb him upstairs before dinner.

After seeing off her two younger brothers, Kawasaki Saki turned her gaze to Kawasaki Kyoka, who was sitting in Hachiman Hikigaya's arms.

Seeing the little loli grinning at her, Kawasaki Saki suddenly felt a headache coming on.

She could certainly use her authority as an older sister to deal with her younger brother, but this method was absolutely unacceptable when facing her youngest sister.

"Jinghua, your older brother and sister have something to discuss. Why don't you go upstairs first?"

Seeing that Kawasaki Saki was helpless against Kawasaki Kyoka in his arms, Hikigaya Hachiman said that he was skilled in this task.

After years of training from Komachi, he has become quite adept at dealing with girls who have a younger sister.

After only a few words of coaxing, Kyoka Kawasaki, who had left Saki Kawasaki helpless, nodded and jumped out of Hachiman Hikigaya's arms.

After greeting the two men, the little loli ran upstairs to bother her two older brothers.

"I didn't realize you were so good at charming little girls."

Watching Hachiman Hikigaya say goodbye to his sister, Saki Kawasaki felt a sense of unease.

This guy is so skilled at dealing with little girls, could he be a pervert?

Kawasaki Saki made up her mind that she would keep Hachiman Hikigaya away from her sister from now on.

"Cough cough, no way. I just happen to have a younger sister and know how to coax her..."

Upon hearing Kawasaki Saki's words, Hikigaya Hachiman coughed awkwardly twice.

Although he already has strange nicknames like dead fish eyes, eccentric loner, and shut-in, it doesn't mean he's willing to add the title of "loli fetishist."

"Is that so? Well, let's leave it at that."

Saki Kawasaki expressed great skepticism about Hachiman Hikigaya's words.

However, given that he was her benefactor and the entire Kawasaki family's benefactor, she did not intend to delve into such matters.

"I am extremely grateful..."

Hearing that Kawasaki Saki was no longer going to pursue the matter of whether he was a loli-con, Hikigaya Hachiman breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's leave the small talk here."

Kawasaki Saki's face suddenly turned solemn.

"Anyway, thank you so much for coming to my house and getting rid of those ghosts..."

With that, Saki Kawasaki bowed deeply to Hachiman Hikigaya.

"It's really nothing, just something I did on the spur of the moment..."

Seeing Kawasaki Saki thank him so sincerely, Hachiman Hikigaya scratched his face with his finger, feeling embarrassed.

Moreover, he did not come away empty-handed; the five low-level evil spirits contributed 250 spirit coins, which brought his nearly depleted amount back up.

"Ah, right!"

Suddenly remembering something, Hachiman Hikigaya clapped his hands together.

"Ok?"

Saki Kawasaki looked up in confusion.

Hachiman Hikigaya was seen rubbing his hands together, looking at her with excitement...

Ten minutes later, the wooden door to the living room was opened again.

Saki Kawasaki walked out of the living room, seemingly lost in thought, with Hachiman Hikigaya following closely behind.

Okay, that's enough for now.

After leaving the Kawasaki family's yard, Hachiman Hikigaya stopped Saki Kawasaki from continuing to escort him.

"Then, be careful. I'll do what I promised you as soon as possible."
