The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

Hearing what Hachiman Hikigaya said, Saki Kawasaki nodded.

She stood still, looking at Hachiman Hikigaya earnestly.

"Actually, there's no need to rush, after all, my strength is actually quite weak."

At this point, Hachiman Hikigaya smiled sheepishly.

Although he was already a high-level exorcist, there were still many levels above him.

Being "advanced" only means being able to protect oneself in this world overrun by evil spirits.

"I see. I understand. Then I'll just start with easy tasks..."

Kawasaki Saki's eyes flickered a few times, as if trying to determine how much of what Hachiman Hikigaya had said was true.

Finally, she nodded and agreed to help Hachiman Hikigaya choose some simple tasks for him at first.

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Hachiman Hikigaya waved to Saki Kawasaki, then picked up his schoolbag and walked towards the station.

Because this time the time wasn't affected by evil spirits, although it seemed like it took a long time to deal with the evil spirits of the Kawasaki family, it's actually only a little past six o'clock now.

But this is still a very bad number.

Having experienced his late return yesterday, Komachi will definitely go home early today to wait for him and ask him why he came back so late last night.

However, he himself returned home late again because he was helping Saki Kawasaki.

"Komachi must be very anxious right now, right?"

Thinking this, Hachiman Hikigaya took out his phone and checked his Line account.

Chapter 25 Iroha Isshiki's Unlucky Day

As soon as the Line interface loaded, the avatar of Komachi making a cute "V" sign started flashing continuously.

Hachiman Hikigaya looked closely and realized that since he told Komachi he might be home late after school, Komachi had sent him more than twenty messages!

Moreover, as time went on, Komachi's typing tone became increasingly anxious.

"Oh no, this is terrible..."

Suddenly recalling the scene of Komachi crying in his mind, Hachiman Hikigaya felt a sense of foreboding and quickly typed a reply to Komachi.

"Brother, where have you gone!"

As soon as the message was sent, Komachi's reply appeared on the screen.

It was obvious that Komachi had been waiting by her phone for news from Hachiman Hikigaya.

Hachiman Hikigaya: Sorry, I just took care of something and I'm on my way home now.

Komachi: Dealing with things?

Hachiman Hikigaya: Yeah, it was just a small favor for a friend. Don't worry about me, I'll take the train home right away!

Taking the tram home?

Seeing the message typed out by Hachiman Hikigaya on the screen, Komachi, who was lying on the sofa hugging her teddy bear, immediately raised her eyebrows.

Hachiman rode his bicycle to school in the morning, and even gave her a ride.

But that evening, Hachiman Hikigaya said he was going to take the train back, and that was after he went to a friend's house...

In other words, when Hachiman Hikigaya finished school, he left his bicycle at school and chose to walk to his friend's house.

However, as far as she knew, due to his withdrawn personality, the only person Hachiman Hikigaya could be considered a friend at school was a fat, nerdy guy named Yoshiteru Zaimokuza.

Previously, when Hachiman went to his house, he would ride a bicycle there.

In other words, the classmate Hikigaya was referring to this time was not Yoshiteru Zaimokuza!

"But how is this possible?"

Komachi rolled over on the sofa, then lay face down, her small, white feet dangling in the air.

She stared at the screen for a long time before finally typing out her guess.

Komachi: Brother, the classmate you're talking about isn't an older sister, is it?

"........."

One minute has passed.

Hachiman Hikigaya still hasn't responded.

Well, the guess has become a reality.

Komachi tossed her phone onto the sofa and, clutching her teddy bear, returned to her reclining position.

Looking at the dark ceiling, a look of confusion flashed in Komachi's eyes.

How did Hachiman Hikigaya come to interact with girls?

Looking at the question Komachi sent on his phone, Hachiman Hikigaya did not reply.

Of course, this was not because he did not want to answer, or was unable to answer Komachi's question, but because he unexpectedly saw an acquaintance while waiting for the train at the station.

This is a very cute-looking girl.

She has shoulder-length light yellow hair, and although she is wearing the school uniform representing first-year students of Soubu High School, she has a shapely figure.

In particular, she exudes a youthful and lively aura, and her pure face is slightly furrowed with a look of great distress, which can instantly capture the attention of the opposite sex.

According to Hachiman Hikigaya's observation, at least most of the men waiting for the bus around him were focusing their attention on the girl.

What drew Hachiman Hikigaya's attention to the girl was not her, but the evil spirit clinging to her.

This was the first time Hachiman Hikigaya had seen an evil spirit committing a crime at night.

Therefore, he was very curious about how evil spirits could do evil without ordinary people being able to see them.

But soon, Hachiman Hikigaya noticed something was wrong.

Although the girl's expression was very distressed, her life force did not diminish.

Filled with doubt, Hachiman Hikigaya moved closer to the girl, wanting to see more clearly why this was happening.

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

Iroha Isshiki has been very upset all day.

Ever since she discovered a daring couple in the teaching building yesterday afternoon and played a little prank on them, she has felt like she's being watched by something.

When she woke up early in the morning, she felt weak and sore all over, as if she had not slept at all the night before but had gone through some kind of strenuous exercise.

When she got up to change her clothes, she felt like a pair of eyes were spying on her.

And this feeling stayed with her all the way to school.

At lunchtime, the delicious food tasted strange, and she lost her appetite after just one sniff.

In the end, I went to the convenience store and bought a piece of bread to barely fill my stomach.

After all that commotion, she unsurprisingly messed things up during the afternoon soccer practice.

Not only did he call the upperclassmen by the wrong names, but he also accidentally fell in front of Hayama Hayato while transporting the soccer ball, making a complete fool of himself.

"Seriously, what's wrong with me today?"

Standing on the platform, Isshiki Hajime stared at the wall opposite the railway tracks, lost in thought.

Just then, she suddenly noticed a school uniform from Soubu High School in her line of sight.

I glanced at the tie that represented my grade.

He's a second-year student!

Iroha quickly put away her worries and showed her best self.

At the same time, she secretly turned her head to see who the senior next to her was.

What came into Iroha's view was a pair of eyes that exuded an aura of decay from within...

what the hell!

Isshiki immediately pouted in dissatisfaction, and her feigned cuteness instantly turned back into a listless expression.

She had thought that a handsome senior would come to her side, someone who could please her eyes and soothe her weary soul.

The result was a pair of lifeless, fish-like eyes!

That's right, it was definitely this guy who locked him and Miko Yotsuya in the classroom yesterday!

While Isshiki Hachiman was peeking at him, Hachiman was also sizing her up.

Although Hachiman Hikigaya didn't see who the person outside was yesterday, he firmly remembered that person's aura.

At this moment, Iroha Isshiki's aura perfectly matched his memory, which meant that Iroha Isshiki was the despicable guy from yesterday!

Having figured all this out, Hachiman Hikigaya immediately wanted to leave.

But as soon as he turned around, he heard Isshiki Iroha sigh.

Turning around, Hachiman Hikigaya looked at the girl in front of him with a troubled expression, and then at the evil spirit crawling behind her.

"So, we really can't just leave it unattended?"

Covering his face, Hachiman Hikigaya thought helplessly.

Even though he knew the girl might not appreciate his help, and might even misunderstand his intentions, he still couldn't stand idly by when he saw the evil spirit attached to her...

Chapter 26 witnessed a strange evil spirit.

Seeing the evil spirit on Isshiki Hachiman's back, Hachiman Hikigaya did not make any rash moves.

The evil spirit in front of them was significantly larger and more robust than the low-level evil spirits they had encountered at Saki's house in Kawasaki.

If he wasn't mistaken, this was a mid-level evil spirit.

After yesterday's dungeon, Hachiman Hikigaya has gained a certain understanding of evil spirits.

Primary evil spirits are newly born evil spirits, possessing only a little intelligence or none at all.
