The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

"Onii-chan, you didn't go and rob a bank, did you?"

Looking at the numbers on the screen, Komachi stared nervously at Hachiman Hikigaya.

That's 60 million!

How could the reward be so high for just an exorcism request?

"What are you thinking? If I were to rob a bank, I'd only take cash..."

Seeing Komachi's nervous expression, Hachiman Hikigaya didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

To be honest, he was shocked when he checked his phone balance on the way back by tram.

He never imagined that the middle-aged man's actions on his phone before his death would result in transferring such a large sum of money to him.

What is this?

Is it a thank-you gift for helping his whole family get out of trouble?

If possible, Hachiman Hikigaya would rather not have it.

After all, this money is stained with the blood of countless people.

"That's right!"

Upon hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's words, Komachi looked like she thought it made sense, and then, realizing what she meant, she immediately pounced on Hachiman Hikigaya with her eyes shining.

After a slight rustling sound, Komachi mounted Hachiman Hikigaya.

"Didn't I tell you to be careful and not make any noise that would wake your parents?"

Hachiman Hikigaya looked at Komachi on his body with a helpless expression.

"Hehehe, I was just too excited..."

Komachi reached up and touched the back of her head, looking embarrassed.

But in a second, she quickly pulled out her phone and urged Hachiman Hikigaya to send the money.

They had agreed beforehand that Hachiman Hikigaya's money would be entrusted to her for safekeeping!

"Okay, okay, here you go..."

Faced with Komachi's eyes now completely shaped like gold coins, Hachiman Hikigaya shook his head helplessly.

He then used his phone to transfer 30 million yen to Komachi's account, while reminding her to take good care of this large sum of money.

"Do not worry!"

Komachi patted her chest and confidently assured everyone, "There will absolutely be no problem with those thirty million!"

"We still need to spend money where it's necessary..."

Hikigaya Hachiman reached out and flicked Komachi's forehead, adding.

He didn't want Komachi to be a miser with a huge sum of money, not spending a single penny.

"Yes, I know that too~"

Covering her forehead, Komachi answered gently, then glanced at the remaining thirty million yen in Hachiman Hikigaya's account, a curious expression on her face.

"Onii-chan, how are you planning to spend this 30 million?"

"Five million of that was someone's salary, and the remaining twenty-five million was for the families of the victims..."

"But how do you know who those victims were?"

Having heard what Hachiman Hikigaya had said before, Komachi knew that the middle-aged man had harmed many people for the sake of those three evil spirits before he met Hachiman Hikigaya.

Therefore, she did not object to Hachiman Hikigaya's practice of using some of his money to improve the lives of the victims' families.

But Hachiman Hikigaya isn't a middle-aged man, so how could he determine how many victims there were and who they were?

"That's what the police do."

Hikigaya Hachiman shrugged.

He has been assigned to deal with evil spirits, as well as to improve the lives of the victims' families.

Even if the police can't fight evil spirits, they should be able to handle tasks like finding information, right?

Chapter 42 This is women's equipment!

"makes sense!"

Komachi nodded in sudden realization.

When it comes to information gathering capabilities, state institutions are naturally far superior.

I'm afraid it won't be long before the news reports information about the victims on television.

"Oh, right, Komachi, could you put your hand out for a second..."

Hachiman Hikigaya nodded in agreement, then took out the red ponytail bracelet he had taken off earlier from his system space.

"this is?"

Komachi curiously examined the strangely shaped bracelet in Hachiman Hikigaya's hand.

"This is a combat bracelet I redeemed from the system..."

Looking at the bracelet in his hand, Hachiman Hikigaya instantly recalled his own embarrassing past.

However, in order not to let Komachi notice anything amiss, he still kept a straight face and explained the purpose of the bracelet to Komachi in a serious manner.

"But what will you do if you give me the bracelet, Onii-chan?"

Upon hearing that the bracelet possessed strong defensive and offensive capabilities, Komachi instinctively pushed Hachiman Hikigaya's hand, which was gripping the bracelet, back away.

"I will exchange for new armor from the system."

After saying that, Hachiman Hikigaya put the bracelet on Komachi's wrist and nervously looked at the bead on the bracelet.

"Om..."

Because the bracelet was on a stranger, it automatically began scanning Komachi's physical condition.

Then, the beads on the bracelet lit up with a red light.

Meets the requirements!

Seeing the bead successfully light up, Hachiman Hikigaya smiled.

He immediately transferred ownership of the red ponytail bracelet to Komachi in the system.

"Um, Onii-chan, I feel a warm current inside my body..."

As soon as Hachiman Hikigaya handed over ownership of the bracelet to Komachi, Komachi felt a sudden surge of heat rising through her body.

The heat flowed through her body and finally rushed straight to the red ponytail bracelet on her wrist!

A dazzling red light flashed across the room, and Komachi, now with a red ponytail, appeared before Hachiman Hikigaya.

"It's completely different from my transformation..."

Hachiman Hikigaya looked at Komachi, whose only changes were in clothing and hairstyle, and pondered with his chin in his hand.

Why is this?

When he uses the bracelet, his body shape and appearance instantly transform into that of a young girl, so why does Komachi experience so few changes when she uses it...?

"Wow, that's amazing, Onii-chan!"

Just as Hachiman Hikigaya was pondering, Komachi was also surprised by the changes in herself.

The armor she wore, which looked heavy, was actually surprisingly light. Moreover, she, who had always kept her hair short, suddenly felt that growing her hair long and turning it into pigtails would be a good choice.

"Yes, this is what you look like after you transform..."

Hearing Komachi's words, Hachiman Hikigaya snapped out of his thoughts.

He nodded after watching Komachi easily take control of the transformed armor.

He then began explaining combat techniques.

"Onii-chan...."

However, just as Hachiman Hikigaya was halfway through his story, Komachi suddenly interrupted him with a strange expression.

"what happened?"

Hachiman Hikigaya looked at Komachi with a puzzled expression. What he had just said was all based on his own experience, and there was absolutely no way he could be wrong!

"How do you know so much about the performance of this female combat suit?"

Komachi stared at her brother with a suspicious look.

After she transformed, the bracelet sent a message in her mind telling her that it was a tactical bracelet for women.

Therefore, she was able to accept that Hachiman Hikigaya would give her the equipment.

The only question is, why does Hachiman Hikigaya, a man, know so much about the performance of this woman's equipment?

"Onii-chan, you wouldn't possibly...?"

Komachi squinted and looked at Hachiman Hikigaya.

"There are user manuals for this on the system!"

Hachiman Hikigaya met Komachi's gaze with a clear and unwavering look.

Even though he wasn't good at acting before, that didn't stop his acting talent from awakening at this moment.

Indeed, people never know their full potential until they face adversity and push themselves.

"Is that so?"

There wasn't a trace of panic in Hachiman Hikigaya's eyes, which made Komachi wonder if she had guessed wrong.

After all, the bracelet had told her that it was equipment for women.

Hachiman Hikigaya, being a man, definitely couldn't use it, right?

"Of course that's how it is. You don't think a guy like me would use this kind of bracelet, do you?"

"makes sense..."
