The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

Suddenly she heard the sound of the door opening in the entryway. Knowing that it could only be Hachiman Hikigaya returning at this time, she greeted him without turning her head.

What struck her as odd was that, unlike usual, when Hachiman Hikigaya heard her, he would immediately respond with "I'm back!", but today he was unexpectedly silent...

"?"

A question arose in her mind. Komachi put down her phone, looked up from the sofa, and gazed toward the entrance.

Hachiman Hikigaya left her early this morning to go out with the girls in his class. Could his current reaction be because he was rejected after confessing his feelings?

The first thing that caught Komachi's eye was those familiar dead fish eyes.

Looking at those dead fish eyes that exuded the same decadent aura as always, Komachi felt relieved.

Thank goodness, it seems I wasn't rejected by the female classmate...

But when she saw Sakura being held in Hachiman Hikigaya's right hand, Komachi immediately raised an eyebrow.

"It's illegal to kidnap a girl, Onii-chan."

"Of course I know..."

Upon hearing Komachi's words, Hachiman Hikigaya's face twitched a few times.

He suppressed his excitement, pulled Sakura into the living room, and then hugged Komachi tightly.

"Long time no see, Komachi..."

? !

Unlike Hachiman Hikigaya's excitement and emotion at not seeing his sister for a year.

From Komachi's perspective, her older brother had only been gone for a day, but when he came back, he suddenly hugged her excitedly and said it had been a long time since they had seen each other.

"Onii-chan, did you hit your head?"

"........."

A few minutes later.

Komachi looked at the two people sitting cautiously opposite her with a complicated expression.

Hachiman Hikigaya has already briefly recounted the events to her.

Even though she already knew that Hachiman Hikigaya had a system, she still couldn't accept the sudden appearance of a younger sister from another world, no matter how magnanimous she was!

"Why did you bring back a little sister?!"

Holding her head, Komachi looked at the culprit who had caused this dispute with a dissatisfied expression.

Even though she already had a younger sister at home, he still brought another one home from outside, and with such a tragic backstory, she simply couldn't bear to refuse him...

"Well, I can't exactly ask her to call me 'uncle,' can I?"

Upon hearing Komachi's question, Hachiman Hikigaya awkwardly scratched his cheek.

He's only a teenager, and even he couldn't accept being called "uncle" like that.

"Ugh! Onii-chan, you idiot!"

Seeing that Hachiman Hikigaya had completely failed to grasp the core of her question, or was deliberately pretending to be stupid, Komachi scratched her hair in frustration.

Looking at the uninvited guest in front of her, Komachi really wanted to just tell her to leave the house.

But as Hachiman Hikigaya had said before, this girl named Sakura came from another world, and apart from Hachiman, she had no one else she could rely on...

Besides, she's so young; if we kick her out...

Countless news reports about children getting into trouble flashed through her mind in an instant, and Komachi finally gave up.

So what are you going to do about getting past your parents?

Even if the Hikigaya couple don't usually pay attention to things at home, there's no way they wouldn't notice if someone suddenly appeared in their house, right?

"As for the reason, I've already thought of it. I'll just use the excuse of relatives who came from afar to seek refuge."

In Japan, it is very common for relatives to seek refuge with their families. In addition, with Hachiman Hikigaya's use of magic hypnosis, the Hikigaya couple would definitely not notice anything unusual!

"It's unbelievable! I never thought I'd be lying to Mom and Dad with you, Onii-chan..."

Hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's words, Komachi sighed helplessly.

Clearly, she has agreed to let Sakura join the Hikigaya family.

"Komachi..."

Hachiman Hikigaya looked up at his sister with gratitude on his face.

However......

"Onii-chan, shut up! Even though Komachi agreed to let her move in, that doesn't mean she's not angry! Komachi's hungry now, so go out and buy some ingredients for dinner!"

Completely unlike her past obedient and sensible image, Komachi angrily kicked Hachiman Hikigaya out of the house again, less than ten minutes after he had just returned.

She then sat back down on the sofa, staring intently at the girl who hadn't said a word since entering her home.

"Your name is Sakura?"

Unlike her harsh treatment of Hachiman Hikigaya, Komachi spoke quite gently to Sakura, as if afraid of frightening her.

"Um....."

Sakura nodded slightly, which was her answer to Komachi's question.

"Is everything he told me about you true?"

Although she knew that Hachiman Hikigaya was unlikely to lie to her, Komachi still had to confirm with him that he had brought back a living person.

"What my brother said is true."

Looking at Komachi, who is Hachiman Hikigaya's younger sister, Sakura felt extremely uneasy.

After all, no one wants a stranger to suddenly appear in their home.

Moreover, judging from the previous conversation between Hachiman Hikigaya and Komachi, the siblings have a very good relationship.

Now she suddenly appears, wanting to share Hachiman Hikigaya, which originally belonged solely to Komachi...

"Have you already called him 'brother'?"

Upon hearing Sakura address Hachiman Hikigaya, Komachi rubbed her forehead, her displeasure intensifying.

However, looking at Sakura's pitiful and endearing appearance, Komachi really couldn't bear to vent her anger on this already pitiful little girl.

"You idiot, Onii-chan!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Komachi decisively shifted all the blame onto a guy who was out buying ingredients for dinner.

Chapter 263 A Major Crisis!

"Ah!"

At that moment, someone walking on the street suddenly felt as if someone was cursing him from the shadows.

"Is it Komachi?"

Hachiman Hikigaya rubbed his nose and gave a wry smile.

The only person who would scold him at a time like this is probably his sister, who just learned the information.

However, since she has already vented her anger entirely on him, it means that Komachi has decided to truly accept Sakura.

"I always feel so guilty towards her..."

He thought that Komachi deliberately got angry at him and kicked him out in order to get closer to Sakura.

They were complete strangers before, yet they immediately accepted each other out of respect for him...

"This gene of thinking of others, isn't it just like siblings?"

Hachiman Hikigaya smiled, but a bitter feeling flashed through his heart.

If he could, he would rather Komachi have been furious and even slapped him than treat him so considerately.

After all, let him bear the consequences of his injury alone...

"Hikigaya-sama......"

As Hachiman Hikigaya was pondering what ingredients he should buy to please Komachi, he suddenly heard the chief priestess's voice in his ear.

"Is there a problem?"

He paused briefly, then continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.

"The Inari God wishes to see you."

After returning to their original world, the chief priestess and the other foxes reconnected with the Inari god.

Naturally, Inari God already knew everything that happened in the other world.

After patiently waiting for Hachiman Hikigaya to settle all the people he brought back from the other world, Inari finally sent his subordinates to inform him of his desire to meet with Hachiman Hikigaya.

"Sorry, could it be later?"

Komachi had already made many concessions for him, and Hachiman Hikigaya really didn't want to delay going home to cook dinner any longer.

"no problem."

The chief priestess relayed Hachiman Hikigaya's words back, and then quickly repeated Inari's reply.

"By the way, Inari Goddess also said that she can help resolve the identity issues of the women you brought back."

"Eh?"

The chief priestess's words startled Hachiman Hikigaya.

When did gods start handling unregistered individuals on the side?

"You're making a mountain out of a molehill. Although Inari-sama's power has declined significantly, she was still a great deity in the past. Isn't it normal for her to have a highly respected and loyal following in society?"

Faced with Hachiman Hikigaya's surprise, the chief priestess answered matter-of-factly.

"It seems that's indeed the case?"

After carefully considering what the chief priestess said, Hachiman Hikigaya reluctantly admitted that what she said was indeed true.

In the year he spent in the other world, he was able to accumulate a great deal of wealth from nothing, which was actually inseparable from his own strength.
