The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

However, Hachiman Hikigaya's personality later caused him great trouble.

Because he couldn't bear to tell the truth and cause the two good friends to break off their friendship, he chose to take the blame upon himself.

This act of kindness did indeed maintain the friendship between those two rascals, but it also gave the rest of the class a reason to collectively tease and ridicule Hachiman Hikigaya...

Then, from Komachi's perspective, Hachiman Hikigaya became increasingly withdrawn and颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, dispirited, and lacking motivation)...

"So, Onii-chan, is it alright if you make a change?"

Taking a deep breath, Komachi risked arguing with Hachiman Hikigaya and spoke her mind.

Just when Komachi thought that Hachiman Hikigaya would change the subject as he always did, or refute her with his own self-justifying theories, Hachiman Hikigaya's answer stunned her.

"sure."

Looking at Komachi's pleading face, Hachiman Hikigaya, feeling as if something had been added to his mind, nodded and said seriously.

"Eh?"

Upon hearing that Hachiman Hikigaya had agreed, Komachi was genuinely happy for a while.

But then she looked at Hachiman Hikigaya suspiciously, wondering if he was lying on purpose to please her.

After all, the reason why Hachiman Hikigaya's personality is considered problematic is that he has never made any changes.

"Is it okay to be flexible once in a while?"

Seeing Komachi's surprised look, Hachiman Hikigaya shrugged.

Although he felt a little strange that he had figured it out so easily, once he figured it out, he figured it out.

"I'm hungry"

After chatting for a while while leaning on Hachiman Hikigaya's shoulder, Komachi's stomach suddenly growled.

Recalling that she hadn't eaten since noon, Komachi immediately gave Hachiman Hikigaya a pitiful look.

"I think so, after all, you haven't eaten since noon."

Upon hearing Komachi's words, Hachiman Hikigaya nodded to indicate that he understood, and then gestured for Komachi to wait a moment.

He then went out of the room and into the kitchen to heat up the food he had prepared earlier in the microwave.

"elder brother....."

Just as Hachiman Hikigaya was waiting for the food to finish heating up, Sakura's little head peeked out from the kitchen door.

"What's wrong with Sakura?"

Perhaps because Komachi had already woken up, Hachiman Hikigaya had a smile on his face the whole time.

"Is Komachi-neechan alright?"

Because they didn't want to disturb Komachi's rest, after Hachiman Hikigaya brought the unconscious Komachi home and caused a commotion, everyone decided that Hachiman Hikigaya would stay by Komachi's bedside alone, while the others would wait in the living room.

Now that Hachiman Hikigaya has arrived in the kitchen, it means that Komachi has woken up...

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you."

Hachiman Hikigaya tapped his forehead, somewhat annoyed that he had forgotten to inform everyone that Komachi had woken up.

"So, is Komachi-nee alright?"

Ilya's head peeked out from behind Sakura.

Although Hachiman Hikigaya in front of her felt a little strange, Komachi's physical condition was clearly her main concern right now.

"That guy's recovery is quite good."

Recalling how lively and energetic Komachi was right after waking up, Hachiman Hikigaya couldn't help but smile.

While part of Komachi's lively demeanor was to avoid worrying him, the fact that she could do that also indicated that Komachi was recovering very quickly.

After chatting briefly with the two girls and finishing preparing the food, Hachiman Hikigaya hurriedly carried the tray back upstairs.

Of course, he wasn't the only one who returned this time...

It's late at night.

After everyone had fallen asleep, Hachiman Hikigaya sat alone on the sofa in the living room, recalling the events of the day.

"A nine-tailed fox. I wonder where that guy has run off to now..."

Recalling the nine-tailed fox that escaped into the spatial turbulence, Hachiman Hikigaya frowned deeply.

If that guy isn't eliminated, he'll always be a threat!

Moreover, given his current condition, whether he can actually kill that guy is entirely uncertain...

"The most crucial thing is that we don't know where that guy has gone."

Thinking of this, Hachiman Hikigaya couldn't help but sigh.

If he can't win, he can call on Inari God for help, since they are allies.

However, not knowing the whereabouts of the nine-tailed fox is quite a headache.

After all, if that guy is determined not to come out and instead causes trouble in secret, then there's nothing he can do about it!

Are you still upset about what happened to Komachi during the day?

Irisviel's voice suddenly came from the stairwell.

Looking at the young woman in pink pajamas, Hachiman Hikigaya blushed at first, but then calmed down and gently shook his head.

"I've put what happened during the day behind me. What I'm worried about now is the guy who attacked Komachi..."

"Are you worried that it will take advantage of Hachiman's absence to attack Komachi or Sakura again, so Hachiman wants to strike first?"

The education I received at the Einzbern family enabled Irisviel to quickly discern Hachiman Hikigaya's concerns and intentions.

"Yes."

A hint of helplessness flashed across Hachiman Hikigaya's face.

How many times has his thoughts been guessed already? Is it really that easy to predict his mind?

"It's because you, Hikigaya-kun, are showing too much concern for Komachi."

Seeing Hachiman Hikigaya's sullen expression, Irisviel snorted smugly.

"Ok."

Hachiman Hikigaya could not refute the reasons given by Irisviel.

After all, he did act a bit too excited while Komachi was unconscious.

"Could you tell me in detail what happened?"

After a moment of silence, Irisviel spoke again, taking the initiative to ask the question.

Although Irisviel had learned about Komachi's attack from Hachiman Hikigaya, it was only a vague summary, and she wanted to know more details about the daytime.

Why would you be interested in things that happened during the day?

Hachiman Hikigaya was somewhat curious about Irisviel's request.

"Because we can review the lessons."

Irisviel rolled her eyes at Hachiman Hikigaya, clearly annoyed.

Although she is now addicted to the online world along with Ilya, she was once highly regarded by the Einzbern family.

Furthermore, during the time she spent with her deceased husband, Kiritsugu Emiya, he taught her a great deal about gathering battlefield information and logical reasoning.

"Review?"

Hearing Irisviel's explanation, Hachiman Hikigaya found it quite interesting.

Moreover, he really wanted to talk to someone, so he described in detail what had happened during the day...

.

"Hmm, the Nine-Tailed Fox said it only needs two puppets, and sending that boy to attack Komachi was just to steal the Killing Stone that it originally belonged to, right?"

"indeed so."

Hachiman Hikigaya nodded, confirming that the Nine-Tailed Fox had indeed said such a thing.

Then Irisviel gently patted his head.

"why did you hit me?"

Hachiman Hikigaya covered the spot where he had been hit and looked at Irisviel in confusion.

Although she didn't hit him hard, he was still a little annoyed by being hit for no reason.

"Because Hachiman is an idiot, he actually believed that guy's nonsense..."

Irisviel looked at Hachiman Hikigaya, who was still in a daze, and shook her head helplessly.

"If the Nine-Tailed Fox only needs two puppets, why not just choose anyone for the fourth? Why did that guy have to choose Komachi? If it wanted that boy to die, it should have had many ways to do it, right? Why did it have to use you to kill him?"

Chapter 345 The Two Who Disappeared

"It seems to be like this..."

After Irisviel's reminder, Hachiman Hikigaya realized that the Nine-Tailed Fox didn't necessarily have to target Komachi.

After all, that guy should be very clear about the consequences of messing with Komachi.

Even so, the Nine-Tailed Fox still instigated Sanzukawa and Hiro to deal with Komachi...

"So, that means that guy had Komachi as his target from the very beginning?"

"To be precise, it's about you, Hachiman."

Irisviel had a much longer-term vision than Hachiman Hikigaya.

Komachi is an ordinary person, but she only appears in the eyes of the Nine-Tailed Fox because of Hachiman Hikigaya.

Therefore, if the Nine-Tailed Fox were to plot something sinister, its ultimate target would undoubtedly be Hachiman Hikigaya.
