The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

Hearing the expected answer, Isayama Naraku could only sigh to express his complicated feelings.

"Uncle, have we still not found the cause of Huang Quan's illness?"

Just as Isayama Naraku was staring blankly at his daughter through the window, he suddenly heard Isayama Mei's voice.

Turning back to look at Isayama Mei, whose attire and manners were impeccable, Isayama Naraku's expression softened slightly.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but suddenly remembered that Isayama Mei was not like her father.

In the end, he could only respond to Mei Isayama's question with a sigh.

"Perhaps there is still a way to bring Huang Quan back to her senses."

Walking to Isayama Naraku's side, Isayama Mei looked at Isayama Yomi, who was like a puppet in the room, and a complicated emotion flashed through his heart.

But he kept encouraging Isayama Naraku not to give up hope.

"Thank you for your comfort, Ming. You are much better than your good-for-nothing father."

Thinking of her younger brother, who was always obsessed with the position of head of the family, Isayama Naraku's head suddenly started to ache.

Recent events have left the Isayama family, an ancient psychic clan, feeling like it's on the verge of collapse.

Fortunately, the Isayama main family did not lack excellent backup candidates after the incident at Isayama Yomi...

"Ming, would you like to try out the Lion King?"

After gazing silently at Isayama Yomi in the room for a while, Isayama Naraku suddenly uttered these words.

"!"

Upon hearing Isayama Naraku's words, Isayama Mei's heart pounded violently.

indeed.

If Isayama Yomi fails to return to normal soon, in order to maintain the morale of the various branch families of Isayama, Isayama Naraku, as the head of the family, will inevitably have to appoint a new successor.

And Isayama Mei is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate!

"Try pulling it out."

Just as countless thoughts were flashing through Isayama Mei's mind, Isayama Naraku, who had already made up his mind, handed over the Lion King, which originally belonged to Isayama Yomi.

Gazing at the Lion King, who was so close in the past and whom he had longed for so much, representing the next head of the family, Isayama Mei subconsciously stretched out his right hand.

However, just as her fingers were about to touch the hilt of the sword, Mei Isayama's eyes suddenly cleared.

"No! Uncle, we can't give up hope. Sister Huangquan will definitely get better!"

He abruptly pulled his right hand back, fearing he would regret it. After once again urging Isayama Naraku not to give up on Isayama Yomi, Mei Isayama hurriedly ran out of the hospital.

What Isayama Mei didn't know was that after hearing her refuse the position of head of the family, Isayama Naraku's resolve only grew stronger.

Mei Isayama, who had just left the hospital, felt extremely confused.

To avoid continuing to overthink, she decided to find some evil spirits to vent her emotions.

Coincidentally, just as she had the idea of ​​defeating the evil spirit, she suddenly sensed the presence of the evil spirit nearby.

"Just in time!"

With no one around, Mei Isayama took out a small katana hidden in her close-fitting kimono. After quickly determining her direction, she slipped into a small alley opposite the hospital and headed towards the source of the evil spirit's fluctuations.

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

Because she began taking on family affairs, Kagura Tsuchimiya was extremely busy every day of her summer vacation.

Even so, she still squeezed out time from her spare time each day, after 10 p.m., to visit Isayama Yomi at the hospital.

As usual, Kagura Tsuchimiya arrived at the hospital where Yomi Isayama was located, escorted by her family driver.

"Uncle Naraku?"

Kagura Tsuchimiya almost didn't recognize Naraku Isayama from the hunched back of the person standing in front of the visiting window.

"Ah, Kagura, you're here again."

Hearing Kagura Tsuchimiya's voice, Naraku Isayama snapped out of his daze.

He smiled kindly at Tsuchimiya Kagura, then turned back to stare intently at Isayama Yomi on the sickbed.

"Uncle, is there really no way to cure Huang Quan?"

Walking up to Isayama Naraku's side, Tsuchimiya Kagura looked at Isayama Yomi in the hospital room and asked, still unwilling to give up.

"We've done everything we could..."

Just like the reply given to Mei Isayama, Naraku Isayama had given up all hope of restoring Yomi Isayama.

After taking one last look at Isayama Yomi, Isayama Naraku shook his head and then turned to leave this sorrowful place.

"Wait! Uncle Naraku, where's the exorcist? We haven't asked the exorcist for help yet, have we?"

"Exorcist?"

Turning back to look at the girl who was still clinging to his sleeve, Isayama Naraku gave a bitter smile.

"The five exorcists have already left Japan. Even if they have a way, Huang Quan won't be able to receive treatment..."

"Besides, how could we, mere psionicists, possibly invite such a big shot?"

Chapter 328 Accident

"They've already left Japan? Then doesn't that mean my older brother...?"

Upon hearing Isayama Naraku's words, Tsuchimiya Kagura subconsciously voiced her thoughts.

"what?"

Isayama Naraku looked at the girl in front of him with suspicion as she covered her mouth after realizing she had said something inappropriate.

Did he just hear her use such an affectionate term of endearment to a boy?

It's unbelievable that the next head of the Tsuchimiya family would address a man in such a way.

"No, it's nothing..."

Kagura Tsuchimiya, realizing she had almost exposed Hachiman Hikigaya, quickly shook her head, left the bouquet of flowers she was holding as a visitor, and ran out of the hospital.

"This child..."

Watching Kagura Tsuchimiya's departing figure, Naraku Isayama shook his head helplessly.

Even though he's already started taking on the family's work, he still seems so impatient...

After leaving the hospital, Kagura Tsuchimiya quickly took a car to Chiba.

On the way, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

It is still unknown whether Hachiman Hikigaya also left Japan, and it was already late at night when he arrived in Chiba.

If she were to disturb the Hikigaya family at this time, Hachiman Hikigaya would likely not grant her request; on the contrary, it might even provoke his displeasure.

"Please turn back."

After weighing the pros and cons, Kagura Tsuchimiya finally suppressed her eagerness and ordered the driver to turn around and return home.

At the same time, she took out her phone and asked Komachi about her brother's whereabouts via Line.

Because it was already very late, Kagura Tsuchimiya originally thought she would have to wait until the next morning to receive Komachi's reply.

However, the truth is that as soon as she sent the message on Line, Komachi replied to her instantly!

Wow, so fast... Is Komachi still awake?

Kagura Tsuchimiya was slightly surprised to receive such a swift reply from Komachi.

But that surprise quickly turned into joy.

[Onii-chan is at home.]

Having confirmed that Hachiman Hikigaya was at home, Kagura Tsuchimiya held her phone to her face, looked up, and took a deep breath to release her excitement.

[Kagura Tsuchimiya: May I visit you tomorrow?]

[Komachi: Of course! You're welcome to come anytime!]

[Kagura Tsuchimiya: Then I'll come tomorrow morning.]

…… ...

Having finalized tomorrow's itinerary, Kagura Tsuchimiya completely slumped back in the back seat of the car.

Although she didn't know if Isayama Yomi's situation could be resolved by Hikigaya Hachiman, she had finally found a glimmer of hope.

"But I don't know if my older brother will agree to help..."

Kagura Tsuchimiya thought that, given Hachiman Hikigaya's personality, he most likely wouldn't refuse her request.

But her relationship with Hachiman Hikigaya was ultimately nothing more than that of acquaintances who had met a few times.

"If you want to ask big brother for help, you need to prepare appropriate compensation!"

Kagura Tsuchimiya was perplexed by this seemingly obvious matter.

What might the older brother need?

Kagura Tsuchimiya muttered to herself, resting her chin on her hand.

Real-world wealth certainly cannot be used as a reward; after all, Hachiman Hikigaya wouldn't even need to ask for it, and countless people would come to him willingly.

However, she currently has nothing related to the other world.

After all, she was only a middle school student.

Despite having reached S-rank strength, she was too young, and most of the family's affairs were controlled by her father.

Even the weapons she currently uses were only provided and manufactured by the government because she joined the Countermeasures Office.

.

Just as Kagura Tsuchimiya was agonizing over what to offer as a reward, in a secluded alley in Tokyo, Mei Isayama was surrounded by a swarm of low-level evil spirits.

"If you're not strong enough, it won't make a difference no matter how many come!"

Despite being surrounded by evil spirits, Mei Isayama showed no sign of panic.
