The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

"You're too slow to come back, Huang Quan."

Mei Isayama was still wearing that solemn kimono, but unlike before, her kimono was now soaked in blood.

"Have you killed many people?"

Looking at the blood still flowing from Isayama Mei's kimono, Isayama Yomi frowned and took a few steps back.

Although their concepts of good and evil changed after becoming puppets of the nine-tailed fox, Mei Isayama's current state still disgusted her.

"I didn't kill many people. To be precise, I wiped out your fiancé's entire Iizuna family. How about that? Are you happy to hear that?"

"Why do this?"

Isayama Yomi wasn't actually that affected by the massacre of the Iizuna family.

After all, the only person she cared about before was her fiancé, Iizuka Kiichi.

After Noriyuki Iitsuna broke off their engagement, the fate of the entire Iitsuna family was none of her concern!

The reason why Yomi Isayama was dissatisfied with Mei Isayama's actions was that what she did was simply too extreme.

While it's impossible for the Iizuna family to actually be wiped out as Mei Isayama claimed, the main family, as the primary lineage, has certainly lost its bloodline.

If this gets out and triggers threats from all the psychic families in Tokyo, causing them to band together, it might hinder Lord Nine-Tailed Fox's plans...

"Who told them to be so reckless as to rush over and break off the engagement while you were unconscious?"

Mei Isayama shrugged, dismissing Yomi Isayama's concerns with disdain.

With the help of the Nine-Tailed Fox, her and Yomi's strength only increased to the Special Grade level.

Even so, she single-handedly wiped out the Izuna family, which claimed to have a history of hundreds of years, with just one Special Grade!

Isayama Mei really didn't see any reason why such a useless family should be kept around.

Chapter 348 Extreme joy leads to sorrow

"Our mission is simply to seize the spirit beasts from those families; there's no need to kill too many people."

Yomi Isayama did not refute Mei Isayama's viewpoint.

Although she was quite curious about the stark contrast between Mei Isayama's character before and after, since they were both serving the Nine-Tailed Fox now, she wouldn't risk her life by inquiring about things she shouldn't know.

"Speaking of spirit beasts, how's the situation on your end? You should have personally killed your father, the head of the Isayama family, by now, right?"

Similarly, Isayama Mei, who also didn't want to argue with Isayama Yomi, glanced at the Lion King in Isayama Yomi's hand and changed the subject to Isayama Naraku.

Although they are puppets and have great freedom, they are essentially controlled by the nine-tailed fox.

The Nine-Tailed Fox's orders were shared by both of them. Therefore, when dealing with the Iizuna family, Mei Isayama clearly received the Nine-Tailed Fox's order to Yomi Isayama to personally kill Naraku Isayama.

"Although they made a move, they didn't kill him..."

"You didn't kill them? Could it be that you had a soft heart?"

Upon hearing Isayama Yomi's explanation, Isayama Mei was taken aback.

For a top-tier assassin to fail in an assassination attempt on a cripple with only one arm, she couldn't think of any other reason besides deliberately letting him win.

"Of course not. It was Inari God who made the move in secret."

Isayama Yomi was very unhappy that Mei Isayama suspected her of being soft-hearted.

After all, for Mei Isayama to say such a thing was undoubtedly a questioning of her loyalty to the Nine-Tailed Fox!

"Since it's a deity intervening, there's nothing we can do."

After hearing the reason given by Isayama Yomi, Isayama Mei remained silent for a long time before continuing.

"And you? I've already got the Lion King. Have you caught the Iizuna family's spirit beast, the Kitsune?"

"Of course. Although that thing had already developed intelligence and was quite cunning, I still managed to capture it."

As he spoke, Mei Isayama took out a transparent cage about the size of a palm from behind him.

Among them, a small, snow-white fox, about half the size of a palm, was running around, looking quite pitiful and endearing.

"In that case, the only one missing from the three spirit beasts is the Tsuchimiya family's Hakuei."

Looking at the white fox in Mei Isayama's hand, Yomi Isayama showed a relaxed expression.

"Don't be careless. Although Tsuchimiya Yagaku's body is about to collapse due to Byakuei, he is still not someone the two of us can handle."

"Of course I know that."

Mei Isayama's well-intentioned reminder only earned him a glare from Yomi Isayama.

Although the two were secretly competing before becoming puppets, after they both became the Nine-Tailed Fox's puppets, their relationship became as harmonious as that of old friends.

"After obtaining that life force, the Nine-Tailed Fox will personally capture the spirit beast Byakuei, which is formed from the largest number of Sessho-seki. All we need to do during this time is stir up trouble in Tokyo."

"So where do you plan to start?"

Seeing Isayama Yomi's confident demeanor, Isayama Mei asked curiously.

Even though they attacked two psychic families before, that's far from enough to throw Tokyo into chaos...

"Of course, it's the department I used to work in."

Thinking of her comrades in the Ministry of Nature who had fought alongside her, Yomi Isayama's face broke into a radiant smile.

"I really want to see it soon. The incredulous look on the face of someone who's been ambushed from behind by a trusted comrade..."

.

"Ah, it's so hot! I'm so bored and hot!"

In Yotsuya Miko's room.

Because her mother and younger brother were both busy and unable to come back, Yotsuya Miko called Yurikawa Hana over to keep her company through the long night.

Unfortunately, the power supply in her community broke down, and even if the electrician worked through the night, the power wouldn't be restored until the early hours of the morning.

And it is currently summer.

Even at night, the stifling heat still seeped into her room through the window...

"How about we spend the night at an internet cafe?"

I glanced at the time on my phone.

It was only around eight o'clock, but due to a power outage, the surroundings were pitch black and nothing could be seen.

The father, who was a benevolent spirit, had already become a Buddha after finding Hachiman Hikigaya.

Now, with only a white candle and the noisy Yurikawa Hana for company, Yotsuya Miko felt inexplicably uneasy.

"cybercafe?"

Upon hearing Yotsuya Miko's suggestion, Yurikawa Hana stopped rolling around on the bed.

With her supple waist, she sat up directly from the bed, resting her chin on her hand as she began to consider the feasibility of Yotsuya Miko's suggestion.

"Internet cafes should have generators. A room for an overnight stay isn't too expensive, and they even have free iced drinks..."

Free iced drinks?!

Yuri Kawana, a glutton, immediately lit up when she heard there were free drinks.

"Yes, yes! Let's go to the internet cafe right now!"

As she spoke, Yuri Kawana jumped off the bed and ran towards the door.

"Hey, wait a minute! We also need to bring some spare clothes!"

Yotsuya Miko pulled Yurikawa Hana back to her senses, who was in a state of excitement.

She suggested going to an internet cafe because it has air conditioning and shower rooms, not for those measly free iced drinks!

Ten minutes later, on the road near the Yotsuya Miko community.

Yurikawa Hana hummed a song as she skipped and hopped forward, holding Yotsuya Miko's hand.

"Xiaohua, you can easily twist your ankle like that."

Despite having only her phone's flashlight as a light source, Yurikawa Hana dared to walk like this on an unknown road. Yotsuya Miko was very worried that the optimist next to her would end up looking miserable and clinging to her for comfort.

"Hehe, Jianzi, don't worry. You know I have excellent balance!"

As she spoke, Yurikawa Kaname demonstrated a strong pose for herself.

Then three minutes later........

"Waaaaah, my feet hurt so much!"

"...Didn't I already warn you not to walk like that?"

Yotsuya Miko looked at Yurikawa Hana, who was sitting on the ground, looking pitiful and crying while clinging to her leg.

"Who knows when a big rock will suddenly appear on the road!"

Yurikawa Hana pouted and tried to defend herself, but the pain in her right ankle made her shut up instantly. Then she continued to hug Yotsuya Miko's leg and cry.

"Oh, really!"

Frustrated, she rubbed her long hair and looked at Yurikawa Hana, who was constantly playing the victim on the ground. Yotsuya Miko sighed and squatted down with her back to Yurikawa Hana.

"Get on, I'll carry you to the clinic..."

Chapter 349 Snow Mother's Worries

"Um, thank you so much for giving us a ride..."

In the back seat of the speeding luxury sedan, Miko Yotsuya looked uneasily at the girl sitting opposite her reading a book.

"It's nothing. Since we happened to run into each other, it's only right to lend a hand. Besides, we were just passing by."

Upon hearing Yotsuya Miko's words, Yukino Yukinoshita closed the book in her hand and looked up to examine her carefully.

Since Hachiman Hikigaya joined the Service Club, she hasn't spoken to Miko Yotsuya for a long time.

Even if they occasionally bump into each other at school, they'll just dart past each other without ever interacting.

"Um, Yukinoshita-san? Is there something wrong with me? Why are you staring at me like that..."
