The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

Regarding its whereabouts, Hachiman Hikigaya could no longer investigate based on the evil aura.

"Did they notice my tracking methods and deliberately block me?"

Subconsciously, Hachiman Hikigaya considered this possibility.

After all, given the intelligence of a nine-tailed fox, when it realized that he was rushing straight toward the shrine, it would definitely reflect on how it had been exposed.

"What should we do next?"

Having failed to track down the nine-tailed fox, Hachiman Hikigaya began to survey the area around the shrine in an attempt to find new clues.

"Sniff..."

Suddenly, as he passed by a certain spot in the shrine, Hachiman Hikigaya smelled a faint fragrance.

"This taste..."

Although it's a little embarrassing to say, Hachiman Hikigaya vaguely remembered smelling a similar scent on Yomi Isayama.

Following the direction of the scent, Hachiman Hikigaya walked down the mountain.

As he walked, Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

"If we continue in this direction, won't we end up back at the Isayama family's residence?"

Recalling the location of the Isayama family's residence, Hachiman Hikigaya felt a sense of confusion.

What grudge does the nine-tailed fox have against the Isayama family?

Not only were both puppets made by the genius disciples of the Isayama family, but they were also later made to lead an army of evil spirits in an attack.

And now, even though it's already severely injured, it still wants to run towards the Isayama family?!

...........

"Yellow Spring?"

In the Isayama family compound, Tsuchimiya Kagura stared in disbelief at Isayama Yomi, who had killed the guards in the courtyard and stormed in.

"Yo, Kagura, we meet again."

Smiling, Yomi Isayama sliced ​​off the last head of the guard who was blocking her way to Kagura Tsuchimiya's path, and approached Kagura Tsuchimiya with her still-dripping katana in hand.

"Don't force me, I don't want to fight you!"

Reaching out to grasp the hilt of the katana hanging at her waist, Tsuchimiya Kagura earnestly offered her advice.

Having already lost one loved one, she didn't want to lose any more, and even wanted to personally eliminate Isayama Yomi, who was like a sister to her.

"But I want to fight you."

Tilting her head, Isayama Yomi sneered and then charged towards Tsuchimiya Kagura.

Seeing Isayama Yomi approaching, Tsuchimiya Kagura gritted her teeth, just about to make up her mind to draw her sword, when she suddenly heard the sound of her katana falling to the ground.

"No, no!"

With a pained expression, Isayama Yomi clutched her head and slowly backed away.

As Izayama Yomi struggled, the butterfly mark on her forehead faded more and more until it finally disappeared completely...

The whole process looked like a beautiful story of Isayama Yomi struggling to protect what she cherished most and finally breaking free from the Nine-Tailed Fox's control—harmonious and without a single doubt.

"Huang Quan, are you alright?"

Seeing that Isayama Yomi was barely breathing after breaking free from the Nine-Tailed Fox's control, Tsuchimiya Kagura cautiously went over to investigate.

"Kagura......."

Hearing a familiar voice in her ear, Isayama Yomi struggled to open her eyes.

Seeing that Tsuchimiya Kagura was unharmed and that she had not made a mistake she would regret for the rest of her life, she closed her eyes with relief and then fainted.

"Kagura!"

Not long after Isayama Yomi fell into a coma, Isayama Naraku, having received news of the attack on Tsuchimiya Kagura, rushed over with a large number of guards.

As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, Isayama Naraku discovered Isayama Yomi lying unconscious in Tsuchimiya Kagura's arms.

"This rebellious girl!"

Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, and thinking about what Isayama Yomi and Isayama Mei had done recently, in front of many clansmen, Isayama Naraku drew his sword and slashed fiercely at Isayama Yomi!

"Uncle Naraku, please wait a moment!"

Tsuchimiya Kagura drew her sword just in time to block Isayama Naraku's attack.

"Kagura, she's not the person you used to know anymore!"

Seeing that Tsuchimiya Kagura had blocked his attack, Isayama Naraku breathed a sigh of relief, but on the surface he earnestly advised Tsuchimiya Kagura to give up protecting Isayama Yomi.

"No, Huang Quan has already broken free of control! I saw it with my own eyes!"

Shaking her head, Tsuchimiya Kagura began to defend Isayama Yomi.

"But she killed her own people, so she's still doomed!"

Naraku Isayama is both explaining Yomi Isayama's crimes and reminding Kagura Tsuchimiya how to protect Yomi Isayama.

After receiving a reminder from Isayama Naraku, Tsuchimiya Kagura immediately understood what to do.

"Huang Quan was manipulated by the mastermind behind the scenes, which is why she did such things. Besides, we also need to get information about the enemy from her, don't we?"

"But...."

Upon hearing Kagura Tsuchimiya's words, Naraku Isayama was already tempted.

Seeing this, Kagura Tsuchimiya used the negotiation tactic that Masahiro Tsuchimiya had taught her before she left.

Suddenly, Kagura Tsuchimiya unleashed the aura of her general-level strength.

The immense aura instantly forced the guards around Isayama Naraku, who were mostly only mid-level, to take a few steps back.

"After my father, Tsuchimiya Yaraku, passed away, I am now the head of the Tsuchimiya family. Uncle Naraku, you should be able to heed the advice of the head of the Tsuchimiya family, right?"

After Chapter 370, am I your person?

"How is she?"

After putting on a show of reluctantly agreeing to spare Isayama Yomi's life in front of his clansmen, Isayama Naraku immediately sent all his clansmen away and quickly went to Isayama Yomi's side to check on her condition.

"It's alright, it's alright, I'll recover after a period of rest."

After confirming that Isayama Yomi's life force was currently weak and would not be in danger of dying, Isayama Naraku breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uncle Naraku, why did we do that just now?"

Despite this, Kagura Tsuchimiya performed the play brilliantly as instructed by Naraku Isayama.

But Tsuchimiya Kagura really didn't understand why Isayama Naraku needed to do this even in front of her own clansmen.

"...Kagura, do you think those guards who were just killed had any relatives?"

Unexpectedly, Kagura Tsuchimiya would ask such a basic question. Naraku Isayama remained silent for a while before asking.

"Of course there is..."

Kagura Tsuchimiya suddenly froze halfway through her answer.

Indeed, Isayama Yomi just killed several members of the Isayama family right in front of her! Even if Isayama Naraku is the head of the family and can temporarily suppress the matter, how could those families who lost their loved ones easily let it go?

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through before."

Kagura Tsuchimiya lowered her head in shame, fully realizing what she had overlooked, and apologized.

"The one who should truly accept your apology is not me, but the families of the guards who sacrificed their lives."

As Isayama Naraku spoke, he closed his eyes in anguish.

He was both the head of the Isayama family and the father of Isayama Yomi.

Faced with the choice between family interests and kinship, he always had to choose one over the other.

Today he sided with his daughter and forcibly protected her, which may be a hidden danger in the future.

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

When Mei Isayama opened her eyes, the last rays of the setting sun shone directly on her face.

"I'm alive?"

Holding up her right hand to shield her eyes from the sunlight, Mei Isayama stared blankly at the ceiling, her memory still stuck on the moment when her heart was pierced by the Sanzu River and Hiro.

"You're awake."

A male voice, tinged with gloom and dejection, rang in my ears.

This immediately alerted Mei Isayama, who jumped out of bed and began checking his clothes against the wall.

"Don't worry, I didn't do anything to you, and if I really had any evil intentions, you wouldn't be able to resist..."

Hitotsu waved to Mei Isayama, and Hachiman Hikigaya gestured for her to relax.

"You saved me?"

After the initial panic subsided, when Mei Isayama looked at Hachiman Hikigaya again, he was surprised to recall that he had seen him once before.

Moreover, upon sensing the immense spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from Hachiman Hikigaya's body, which he could not conceal, Mei Isayama instantly believed what Hachiman Hikigaya had said.

"Well, I guess so..."

When asked about rescue efforts, Hachiman Hikigaya immediately looked away guiltily.

"Is that so? If you don't mind, could you please tell me what bad things I did during the time I lost my memory?"

Looking at Hachiman Hikigaya's appearance, Mei Isayama seemed to understand something.

She sat back down on the bed, adopting a dignified posture, and then asked Hachiman Hikigaya to tell her the general outline of what happened after she was turned into a puppet.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Isayama Mei's request, Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly turned around.

Mei Isayama should have indeed lost track of what happened during the period when she became a nine-tailed fox puppet, so why is she so certain that she did a lot of bad things?

"After you met Huang Quan, didn't you immediately contact the Isayama family to take her back?"
