The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

Seeing her daughter's aggressive behavior towards Hachiman Hikigaya, Irisviel quickly went over and pressed her hands down, then began to lecture her while pinching her delicate face.

"Okay, I understand..."

With her face pinched by her mother, Ilya's aura instantly crumbled.

However, through the gap in Irisviel's body, Hachiman Hikigaya saw that the obedient Illya was secretly grinding her little fangs, clearly outwardly compliant but inwardly resentful.

"Anyway, let's go downstairs and eat our breakfast first."

Looking at the troubled mother and daughter before him, Hachiman Hikigaya rubbed his temples in distress and stopped Irisviel's brutal act of 'torture' her daughter.

After having breakfast with Irisviel and her daughter at the hotel restaurant, Hachiman Hikigaya then had the two women return to their room to pack up the computer they had just bought the day before and cancel their room reservation at the front desk.

"Here you go... If you memorize the information on this, there shouldn't be any mistakes."

As they left the hotel, Hachiman Hikigaya took the luggage from the two women and handed them the identity documents that Inari Shrine had processed the day before.

"So fast!"

Irisviel took the documents from Hachiman Hikigaya, glanced at them briefly, and then looked up at him in surprise.

They had only arrived in this world yesterday, yet in just one night, Hachiman Hikigaya had resolved their issue of being unregistered residents.

This work efficiency is in no way inferior to that of the Einzbern family...

"I just asked a friend for help."

The image of Inari flashed through his mind. Thinking that he would chat with Inari after settling the mother and daughter in front of him, Hachiman Hikigaya frowned.

"Um, thank you so much..."

Irisviel noticed Hachiman Hikigaya's furrowed brow.

Unaware of the truth, she believed that Hachiman Hikigaya had paid a heavy price to help her and Illya resolve their identity issues.

The other person clearly spent the whole night running around to help me, but I just stayed in my room playing video games all night...

Thinking of this, Irisviel blushed with shame.

"Ok?"

Seeing Irisviel's suddenly flushed face and the guilty expression on her face, Hachiman Hikigaya, whose brainwaves were completely out of sync, revealed a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Forget it, to avoid trouble, it's best not to ask what happened..."

With that thought in mind, Hachiman Hikigaya ignored Irisviel's reaction and took the two women in a taxi towards the houses he had selected online the night before.

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

"So small..."

One morning, Hachiman Hikigaya took Irisviel and Illya to see three houses he had picked out the night before. However, without exception, Irisviel and Illya complained that each house was too small.

"Well, it'll have to do for now..."

Sitting in his restaurant chair, Hachiman Hikigaya's lips twitched slightly as he heard the mother and daughter across from him, and then he sighed helplessly.

Considering that the two of them used to live in places like castles, Hachiman Hikigaya specifically selected a relatively large house online for them to choose from.

However, he underestimated the distorted values ​​that the two had developed from living in the Einzbern family for so long...

For the two, who were far from short of money, even though the house Hachiman chose was twice the size of a typical residence, they were still dissatisfied. After all, their previous home always had a garden for strolling...

"Thank you so much, Hikigaya-kun, for helping us find a house. I think we should choose the last one?"

Although she wasn't entirely satisfied with the house, it was clear that Irisviel wasn't so crazy as to demand that Hachiman Hikigaya help her find a house she liked.

In order not to put Hachiman Hikigaya in a difficult position, and also to ensure that his hard work was not in vain, Irisviel immediately decided to buy the last house she had looked at, which was also the closest to Hachiman Hikigaya's house.

"It's best to think carefully before buying a house."

Seeing Irisviel's hasty decision about her future home, Hachiman Hikigaya kindly offered a reminder.

"It's okay. If you're really not satisfied with your accommodation, you can move to a new one once you're completely settled!"

In response to Hachiman Hikigaya's concerns about housing, Irisviel spoke with confidence.

"That wicked rich woman..."

Seeing Irisviel's expression that said problems that could be solved with money weren't problems at all, Hachiman Hikigaya thought bitterly.

Although he has a lot of cash on hand, he still can't do something as outrageous as just moving into a new house!

In just a few words, the problem of accommodation was solved, and then Irisviel turned her gaze to Ilya, who was leaning against her and dozing off.

Thinking that Sakura, who was next to Hachiman Hikigaya, seemed to be about the same age as Illya, Irisviel immediately found a topic to talk about.

"Um... Hikigaya-kun, how is Sakura doing?"

Chapter 267 I Don't Want to Go to School!

"My family has already accepted me!"

Although some unconventional methods were used, now, apart from the mother who hasn't returned home yet, the other two people in the family have accepted Sakura's existence.

Next, all that's needed is to complete the relevant procedures, and then the surname Hikigaya can be added before Sakura's name.

"Really? That's wonderful..."

Hearing that Sakura had already integrated into Hachiman Hikigaya's family, Irisviel couldn't help but feel happy for her.

"So, has Hachiman-kun considered what will happen after Sakura?"

Seeing that she had guided the conversation to the point where she could, Irisviel began to reveal her true intentions.

"What happened next?"

"It's just going to school!"

With a maternal glow radiating from her face, Irisviel lovingly stroked her daughter's soft white hair as she spoke of terrifying things.

"Well, if it's about schooling, I'll probably choose the school my sister is currently attending."

Unlike Soubu High School, which only has a high school section, Komachi's junior high school also has an elementary school section.

If Sakura reads there, it will be perfect for Komachi to take care of her since she first came into this world.

"Could Ilya and Sakura study together? After all, if they're together, they can take care of each other..."

"But shouldn't Ilya be a bit older?"

Upon hearing Irisviel's suggestion, Hachiman Hikigaya raised his own questions.

Although Ilya appears as petite as Sakura, she is actually about three or four years older than Sakura...

Even if the two attend the same school, they are in different grades.

If we're talking about providing support, it would probably be very difficult.

"No problem at all! Although she's still young, Ilya's magic is already quite impressive. If anyone bullies Sakura, even during class, she'll blast them away in a second!"

"You're making me even more worried!"

Hearing Irisviel's witty and sarcastic remarks, Hachiman Hikigaya scratched his head in frustration.

He didn't mind that Sakura and Ilya went to the same school.

Frankly, it would have been better if Irisviel had brought this up.

After all, if the two children are always around, Hachiman Hikigaya will be able to find out in time if Irisviel and the others encounter any trouble.

But this world is no longer the one Irisviel originally lived in, a world that treated ordinary people like fools or even expendable resources.

Aside from the various wandering evil spirits, there is also the complex society built by various human forces.

If Illya really were like Irisviel, blasting away anyone who bullied Sakura without a second thought...

It seems there's nothing wrong?

Considering this, Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly paused.

He then realized that after living in another world for a year, he was no longer the novice who had been busy exorcising spirits everywhere since he got the system before transmigrating.

Before the transmigration, due to the short time, my strength improved exceptionally quickly, and the enemies I encountered also steadily leveled up.

Although Hachiman Hikigaya occasionally encounters humans who are much weaker than himself, which makes him think that he is actually very strong, it has always been just a conjecture.

Hachiman Hikigaya never found the answer to how strong he truly was or what level he stood at in this world.

During his year in the other world, especially during the final Holy Grail War, Hachiman Hikigaya had a thorough understanding of his own abilities.

Aside from the five exorcists from Japan, he seems to be the strongest human force in Japan, right?

He's already come this far, what is he afraid of?!

"I was such an idiot before..."

Having figured it out, Hachiman Hikigaya covered his face with his hands, lamenting his past foolishness.

"Please be gentle when you do it, don't kill anyone."

Hachiman Hikigaya hates school bullying.

However, this kind of thing is quite common in schools across Japan, and it often happens among transfer students.

Given Sakura's delicate personality and adorable appearance, Hachiman Hikigaya could almost foresee what polarized events would unfold.

Therefore, Hachiman Hikigaya did not stop Illya from taking action, as Irisviel had mentioned.

"Eh?"

Hachiman Hikigaya's sudden change caught Irisviel somewhat off guard.

Without her noticing, she accidentally pulled on Ilya's hair, causing the dazed Ilya to let out a loud "Aww".

However, just as Illya cried out in pain, Irisviel, who was focused on thinking about why Hachiman Hikigaya had changed so much, raised her hand and covered her daughter's mouth to stop the noise.

"........."

With her mouth covered and unable to make a sound, Ilya, awakened by the pain, immediately looked at Hachiman Hikigaya sitting directly opposite her with a resentful gaze.

Although I don't know what just happened, the culprit behind all of this is definitely this guy in front of me!

Sensing the resentment in the air, Hachiman Hikigaya smiled apologetically and somewhat awkwardly at Illya before making his final decision.

"Then it's settled that we'll go to school together. Leave the rest to me."
