The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

However, the reality forced her to issue such an order.

Because not only their Ministry of Nature, but also their arch-rival Ministry of Defense, are on high alert due to the recent surge in the number of evil spirits.

"We still haven't found the reason..."

Upon hearing Jinguji Ayame's words, Isayama Yomi was slightly surprised.

Although the government is no match for these families in terms of combat strength, its advantage in intelligence gathering is far too obvious.

Even so, more than ten days into the summer vacation, the reason for the increase in the number of evil spirits has still not been found, which makes Isayama Yomi wary.

"Could it be that guy's doing?"

The face of the mysterious boy she had met in the woods flashed through Isayama Yomi's mind for a moment.

But she immediately dismissed this conjecture.

How is this possible?

No matter how powerful that guy is, he is still undoubtedly a human being.

The idea of ​​humans commanding evil spirits is utterly ridiculous.

"The next mission location is the top floor of Tokyo Tower. The target is an A-rank evil spirit. Be careful to protect the tourists."

While Izayama Yomi was pondering, her companions had already dealt with all the remaining evil spirits around them.

Without any prior notice, after confirming that the spiritual energy fluctuations in the area where Isayama Yomi was located had completely disappeared, Jinguji Ayame immediately revealed the location of their next mission.

.

"So tall..."

Standing at the base of Tokyo Tower, Miko Yotsuya looked up at the towering building before her.

"After all, it's over 300 meters long."

Looking at the information about Tokyo Tower that he had just found on his phone, Hachiman Hikigaya didn't think that the height in front of him was anything special.

"So, Hachiman-kun, would you like a photo with me?"

Miko Yotsuya took out her phone and waved it gently in front of Hachiman Hikigaya. Since they were out having fun, taking pictures was a must, right?

"I'll take the picture for you."

Hachiman Hikigaya instinctively wanted to refuse.

However, while he was speaking, Yotsuya Miko had already pulled his arm and moved closer to him.

With a 'click' sound from the phone, a hastily taken photo of the two of them appeared on Yotsuya Miko's phone.

"The filming is terrible."

Looking at his own blank expression in the photo, Hachiman Hikigaya looked away shyly.

He's definitely not suited for taking photos...

"No, I think it's filmed really well."

Unlike Hachiman Hikigaya, Miko Yotsuya carefully saved the photos, and then she took the initiative to lead Hachiman Hikigaya on a stroll around Tokyo Tower.

After spending money to buy some snacks for the two of them, and taking several photos of them together at Yotsuya Miko's request, Hachiman Hikigaya just sat down on a bench to rest for a while when he noticed Yomi Isayama and her team members who had rushed over to deal with the evil spirit.

While Hachiman Hikigaya noticed Yomi Isayama, Yomi Isayama's intuition, honed through years of combat, also made him aware of Hachiman Hikigaya's presence.

A hint of surprise appeared on his face, and Isayama Yomi subconsciously wanted to go up and greet Hikigaya Hachiman.

However, upon noticing Yotsuya Miko's presence, Isayama Yomi's face showed a hint of understanding. She then abandoned the idea of ​​going up to talk to her, and simply nodded to Hikigaya Hachiman from afar before leading her people towards Tokyo Tower.

Chapter 297 The Girl Who Fell from the Sky

"Do you know that girl, Hachiman?"

A woman's intuition is always elusive.

It's clear that Yomi Isayama and Hachiman Hikigaya greeted each other for less than two seconds, and quite discreetly at that.

Even so, Yotsuya Miko still noticed that Isayama Yomi was greeting Hikigaya Hachiman.

Watching Isayama Yomi, with her beautiful face, voluptuous figure, and dashing demeanor, heading towards Tokyo Tower, Yotsuya Miko turned to Hikigaya Hachiman and asked about their relationship.

Unfortunately, there was no problem between Hachiman Hikigaya and Yomi Isayama; they could even be described as strangers who had met a few times but were not even friends.

Therefore, when faced with Yotsuya Miko's question, Hikigaya Hachiman showed no emotion whatsoever.

"She's Komachi's older sister; I've only met her a few times before."

"Is she Komachi's older sister?"

Hearing this somewhat convoluted connection, Yotsuya Miko nodded.

The way that girl looked at Hachiman Hikigaya just now definitely didn't have any romantic intentions; in fact, it subtly revealed respect...

"After visiting Tokyo Tower, is there anywhere else you'd like to go?"

Since Yomi Isayama, a member of the government's exorcism organization, has come, it can't be anything good.

Although he was capable of handling any evil spirit except those of Emperor level or higher, Hachiman Hikigaya, who disliked trouble, still planned to leave the vicinity of Tokyo Tower immediately.

"Hmm, how about we go to Shinjuku next?"

Hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's eagerness to leave, Miko Yotsuya became even more curious about the identity of the girl from earlier.

However, Yotsuya Miko kept her curiosity to herself and, after a moment's thought, brought out the travel plans she and Yurikawa Hana had made the night before.

"Then let's go to Shinjuku."

Upon hearing the name of their next destination, Hachiman Hikigaya stood up and walked towards the outer perimeter with Miko Yotsuya.

Meanwhile, Yomi Isayama, who had rushed over, had already arrived at the top of Tokyo Tower carrying her treasured sword, Shishio, in a special vehicle.

"Is this the mission objective?"

Emerging from the elevator, Isayama Yomi discovered her mission target at the top of the small tower—a semi-transparent evil spirit the size of a small child.

The moment Isayama Yomi appeared at the top of the tower, the evil spirit that had been squatting at the top, aimlessly watching the people below, slowly turned its head.

Upon seeing the Lion King in Isayama Yomi's hands, a glimmer of life appeared in the evil spirit's eyes.

As if it had remembered something, it stood up, scratched its head, and then leaped off the top of the tower!

"not good!"

Izayama Yomi's expression changed drastically as he watched the evil spirit leap down from the top of the tower without warning.

The countermeasures office used a lot of financial and material resources to send her to the top of the tower in a very short time using a high-speed elevator, in order to keep the battle area confined to the high altitude.

Why did the evil spirit suddenly jump down?

Keep in mind that because they determined the fighting was within a controllable range, the crowd below Tokyo Tower was not evacuated!

"Ji Zhi, it's coming down!"

After being stunned for less than half a second, Isayama Yomi immediately notified her companions waiting below via walkie-talkie, and then jumped back into the elevator to take the machine down.

However, when the elevator was halfway down, it suddenly started shaking violently.

"what happened?"

As Yomi Isayama investigated the cause of the elevator's violent shaking, she saw the evil spirit that had jumped from the top of the tower earlier now appear above her, grinning and clinging to the cable...

Even from several meters away, Isayama Yomi could almost smell the stench emanating from the evil spirit's mouth.

But that wasn't what concerned her the most.

"squeak....."

The cable, gripped by the evil spirit, suddenly let out a mournful cry. Then, to Izayama Yomi's astonished gaze, the evil spirit mockingly released its hold on the cable...

"boom!"

A loud explosion suddenly rang out in the sky.

The sudden sound immediately attracted the attention of many tourists on the ground.

They looked up and saw thick smoke billowing from the middle of the towering Tokyo Tower, and through the smoke, something seemed to be falling rapidly towards the ground...

Seconds later, as the first piece of debris from the elevator crashed to the ground, the crowd erupted in chaos and scattered amidst screams.

"Yitani..."

Squeezed into the crowded throng, to avoid being separated, Hachiman Hikigaya tightly grasped Miko Yotsuya's hand and followed the crowd toward the outside.

"Hachiman, look up there!"

As Hikigaya Hachiman led her outside, Yotsuya Miko suddenly looked up as if sensing something.

She noticed it.

In mid-air, a figure was sitting in freefall, crashing towards the ground.

"What's wrong with that guy?"

Following the direction of Yotsuya Miko's arm, Hikigaya Hachiman also noticed Isayama Yomi, who had fallen from Tokyo Tower.

However, unlike Yotsuya Miko's confusion and panic about someone falling from the sky, Hikigaya Hachiman was thinking about why Isayama Yomi was knocked down.

As one of the most outstanding young members of Tokyo's exorcism families, Yomi Isayama's strength is beyond doubt.

And since she dared to go and exorcise the spirit, it means she should have a good chance of winning...

"Hikigaya-kun!"

As Hachiman Hikigaya pondered the reasons why Yomi Isayama had met such an end, Yomi Isayama drew ever closer to the ground.

Seeing that what was originally just a small black dot, Isayama Yomi, was gradually revealing her complete form in her eyes, Yotsuya Miko anxiously called out to Hikigaya Hachiman.

Although she didn't know the girl in the sky, she absolutely didn't want to see the girl's tragic fate after falling from the sky!

"I see."

Upon hearing Miko Yotsuya's call, Hachiman Hikigaya wore a helpless expression.

Even if Yotsuya Miko hadn't reminded him, he would have gone to save him anyway.

After all, it was a living, breathing person.
