The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

"So, is she currently possessed by a demon?"

Because of Hachiman Hikigaya's presence, Miko Yotsuya curiously approached and observed Yomi Isayama, who was bound and unable to move.

Looking into her empty eyes, Yotsuya Miko immediately thought of those scenes from the novel.

"It's not really demonic possession, it's more like a temporary loss of reason."

Isayama Yomi was one of the best psychics in Tokyo, how could she have fallen into demonic possession so easily?

Hachiman Hikigaya was also curious as to why Yomi Isayama, who was already considered a top-tier fighter, was so easily caught off guard.

"So, what does Hachiman-kun plan to do with her?"

After observing Isayama Yomi for a while, Yotsuya Miko, feeling sorry for her being tied up like this, asked Hikigaya Hachiman about his plans.

After all, Isayama Yomi was a girl the same age as them; keeping her tied up like this all the time was just too pitiful...

"I've already informed the people she knows."

Hachiman Hikigaya had already figured out how to deal with Yomi Isayama.

In fact, he had already notified Kagura Tsuchimiya to come and pick up the person before he called Miko Yotsuya into the alley.

As for calling Yotsuya Miko into the alley, one reason was to prevent her from getting impatient and overthinking things while waiting outside, and the other was to have her as a witness to prove that he really did nothing to Isayama Yomi...

After all, Isayama Yomi's appearance at this moment was rather unsightly, and if she were misunderstood because of it, it would be quite troublesome.

About an hour later, I received a call from Hachiman Hikigaya. Kagura Tsuchimiya, who was originally resting at home today, hurriedly took a taxi over.

"Yellow Spring!"

Seeing Isayama Yomi bound hand and foot, Tsuchimiya Kagura immediately cried out in worry.

"Big brother, what's wrong with Huang Quan?"

Despite being very worried about Isayama Yomi's condition, Tsuchimiya Kagura did not lose her composure.

After taking a few deep breaths to calm herself down, she turned her gaze to Hachiman Hikigaya, who was standing to the side.

"This guy lost his mind for some reason. He tried to attack me but I trapped him and that's how he is now."

While he couldn't simply abandon Yomi Isayama, Hachiman Hikigaya wouldn't be lenient with her just because she was a woman, especially since Yomi Isayama had previously tried to kill him...

"Oh, I'm sorry, Huang Quan didn't mean it!"

After her strength improved, Kagura Tsuchimiya's understanding of Hachiman Hikigaya's strength was no longer as vague as before.

Sensing the immense spiritual power within Hachiman Hikigaya's body, and hearing him say that Yomi Isayama had previously attempted to attack him, Kagura Tsuchimiya immediately began to apologize in a flustered manner.

Chapter 301: Mei Isayama Appears

"Don't be so nervous, I didn't take what happened earlier to heart."

Hachiman Hikigaya waved to Kagura Tsuchimiya, signaling her to relax.

Isayama Yomi attacked him because she had lost her mind, and he understood this, so he wouldn't punish the two of them indiscriminately.

"No, but Huang Quan did attack you, big brother..."

Hearing that Hachiman Hikigaya did not intend to pursue Yomi Isayama's responsibility, Kagura Tsuchimiya breathed a sigh of relief, but then her face immediately became conflicted as she thought of other aspects.

Although she is only in junior high school, her father has already handed over some family affairs to her because her strength has already broken through to S-level (Special Grade).

After more than a month of training, she is no longer the little girl who knew nothing but cultivation.

She knew all too well what attacking an exorcist meant.

Even if Hachiman Hikigaya doesn't intend to pursue Yomi Isayama's responsibility, the other psychic families, especially the Isayama family members who were already dissatisfied with her, will definitely use this incident to question Yomi Isayama's position as the next head of the family.

If it's just a matter of losing the position of family head, that's fine. But what if those people aren't willing to let it go...

Therefore, if Hachiman Hikigaya only expresses that he does not intend to pursue Yomi Isayama's responsibility for attacking him, without explicitly stating that the attack is over, Yomi Isayama's fate will definitely be terrible!

"So, big brother, can you forgive Huang Quan?"

After describing the events in detail, Kagura Tsuchimiya looked at Hachiman Hikigaya with pleading eyes.

"...This is really quite troublesome."

Upon hearing Kagura Tsuchimiya's account, Hachiman Hikigaya scratched his head in distress.

To be honest, he never expected that something he considered insignificant would be taken so seriously by Tsuchimiya Kagura, and that it would trigger a series of chain reactions.

Especially those psionicists he had no idea would go to such lengths to please him...

and.....

"Has my identity been exposed so quickly?"

Stroking his chin, Hachiman Hikigaya felt utterly defeated.

After all the effort he put into hiding his identity, all that was shown to him was just a ridiculous act in other people's eyes?

"No! Your identity is top secret. Apart from me, Huang Quan, and the Chamber Chief, only a very few clan leaders know about it!"

Kagura Tsuchimiya mistakenly thought that Hachiman Hikigaya was unhappy that her identity had been exposed when she heard his words, so she quickly explained the situation.

"I told you there's no need to be so nervous. You're Komachi's friend, I won't do anything to you."

Looking at Kagura Tsuchimiya's fearful expression, Hachiman Hikigaya felt somewhat helpless.

Despite appearing completely harmless, Kagura Tsuchimiya reacted to him as if she were seeing a great demon king...

"Are my dead fish eyes really that scary?"

Holding his forehead, Hachiman Hikigaya sighed dejectedly, then raised his head:

"Okay, I forgive her for what she did to me before, let's leave it at that. Is that alright?"

"Thank you so much!"

Having received Hachiman Hikigaya's promise, Kagura Tsuchimiya sounded somewhat excited.

"But even if I did say it, no one else could hear me except you, right?"

Hachiman Hikigaya was curious about how others knew he had forgiven Yomi Isayama.

If it's just based on Kagura Tsuchimiya's oral account, then it has absolutely no credibility, right?

"We have a special ritual to verify the truthfulness of what is said..."

Perhaps because of family secrets, Kagura Tsuchimiya spoke vaguely, but Hachiman Hikigaya roughly understood what she meant.

Those families probably have something like a lie detector, and it's estimated that it has never failed them.

Therefore, as long as Tsuchimiya Kagura hears him forgive Isayama Yomi with her own ears, there will be no problem.

"Then she's in your care. We'll be going now."

After handing the bound and gagged Yomi Isayama over to Kagura Tsuchimiya, Hachiman Hikigaya, who wasn't curious about what would happen next, prepared to leave with Miko Yotsuya and take the train back to Chiba.

However, just as he turned around, Kagura Tsuchimiya called him back again.

"Um, big brother, could you tell me about the scene when you met Huang Quan?"

Because she feared the trouble of being disliked by Hachiman Hikigaya, Kagura Tsuchimiya spoke with a hint of trepidation. However, in order to understand why Yomi Isayama had become like this, she couldn't care less about that.

"If you're hoping to find out why she became like this through me, you're probably going to be disappointed. She was already like this when I met her."

Having said that, Hachiman Hikigaya glanced at Yomi Isayama's empty eyes.

The once spirited young girl had lost her vitality and lay quietly in Tsuchimiya Kagura's arms like a delicate doll.

Hachiman Hikigaya boasts a bit about Yomi Isayama's ordeal, but unfortunately, he currently has no way to help solve the problem.

Moreover, Yomi Isayama has a whole group of people behind her, including Kagura Tsuchimiya and the Isayama family, so she might not need my help at all.

Is that so?

Upon hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's answer, Kagura Tsuchimiya's face flashed with disappointment.

But she quickly calmed herself down and managed a forced smile.

"In that case, I won't trouble you any further, big brother..."

"Kagura."

Before Kagura Tsuchimiya could finish speaking, another authoritative female voice suddenly came from the alley entrance.

"Sister Ming?"

Hearing someone call her name, Kagura Tsuchimiya turned her head.

After recognizing the figure at the alley entrance, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Sister Ming, Huang Quan, she..."

Seeing the woman gradually approaching her, Tsuchimiya Kagura felt as if she had found a pillar of support and quickly told Isayama Yomi about her situation.

However, before she could finish speaking, the woman addressed as Sister Ming raised her hand to stop her.

The woman who had just appeared straightened her kimono and greeted Hachiman Hikigaya with a solemn expression:

"Nice to meet you, Lord Hikigaya. My name is Mei Isayama, and I am Yomi Isayama's cousin. Please forgive their previous offenses to you..."

"you know me?"

Looking at the woman in the kimono with her classical Japanese beauty, Hachiman Hikigaya looked somewhat surprised. At the same time, he turned his head and looked at Kagura Tsuchimiya with a questioning gaze.

Didn't she say that only a very small number of people knew her identity?

So how did Mei Isayama find out his identity?

Don't tell him that Mei Isayama is the current head of the Isayama family!

Chapter 302 The Attack of Yotsuya Miko

"Please don't take your anger out on Kagura. I learned about you through other intelligence channels."

Seeing that Hachiman Hikigaya was looking at Kagura Tsuchimiya, Mei Isayama, who had previously ignored her, stepped in front of Kagura Tsuchimiya and blocked her view.

"Alright, so is there something you need, Ms. Isayama?"

Hearing Mei Isayama's explanation only made Hachiman Hikigaya more troubled. He rubbed his temples and asked Mei Isayama why he had come.
