The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

Komachi nodded, deciding not to dwell on the matter any longer.

After listening to Hachiman Hikigaya's explanation of how to fight, she closed her eyes.

Immediately, the armor on his body turned into red light and flew back into the bracelet.

Hachiman Hikigaya stared wide-eyed at the scene before him.

"Komachi, how did you manage to put the armor back?"

"Hey, it's just a simple mental communication with the bracelet, isn't it?"

"Should we briefly communicate with the bracelet?"

Upon hearing Komachi's answer, Hachiman Hikigaya collapsed to his knees on the floor, utterly dejected.

"What's wrong, Onii-chan? You've suddenly become listless..."

Komachi changed back into her pajamas and looked at Hachiman Hikigaya with curiosity as he suddenly started pounding his chest and stamping his feet.

I have a feeling that Hachiman Hikigaya has been acting strangely ever since he came back tonight...

"fine..."

Realizing he was still in Komachi's room, Hachiman Hikigaya immediately returned to normal.

He looked at the red ponytail bracelet on Komachi's hand, told Komachi not to use it unless absolutely necessary, and then got up and left Komachi's room.

A night without words......

The next day, Hachiman Hikigaya got up early as well.

Faced with this situation, Komachi, who was already used to it, just looked him up and down, muttered that he had really changed, and then slipped into the bathroom to wash up.

Then Komachi prepared breakfast, while Hachiman Hikigaya was in charge of washing the dishes.

After all the procedures were completed, Hachiman Hikigaya walked out of his house with his schoolbag and saw Komachi sitting on the back rack of his bicycle waiting for him.

"I feel like you've become lazy lately..."

On his way to school, Hachiman Hikigaya rode his bicycle and said to Komachi behind him.

Before, she would only occasionally hitch a ride with Komachi, but now she insists on driving her home almost every day.

"hey-hey.."

Komachi did not speak.

After glancing at the bracelet on his left wrist, he hugged Hachiman Hikigaya's waist and grinned foolishly.

Soon, the two arrived at the fork in the road.

Before Hachiman Hikigaya could even stop the car, Komachi nimbly jumped off.

In response, Hachiman Hikigaya could only complain a few times and tell her to be careful before heading towards Soubu High School.

When a crossroads appeared on the way, Hachiman Hikigaya seemed to have thought of something and slowed down.

But nothing happened until he crossed the intersection.

"Was I overthinking it after all?"

Looking back at the deserted intersection, Hachiman Hikigaya couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

But suddenly, a series of urgent barks came from the narrow alleyway beside the road.

Immediately, a familiar figure darted out and bit Hachiman Hikigaya's trouser leg, preventing him from leaving.

Hikigaya Hachiman:..........

Chapter 43 Misunderstanding

early morning.

Miko Yotsuya woke up as soon as her phone alarm went off.

After picking up her phone and turning off the alarm, Yotsuya Miko sat quietly on the bed for a while until she felt her sleepiness completely dissipate. Then, she got up and began to change her pajamas into her school uniform.

Because she needed to prepare an extra bento box recently, Miko Yotsuya set her alarm twenty minutes earlier.

Therefore, she became the first person in the family to get up.

Ignoring the evil spirit crawling around on her head, and after making sure she was wearing her school uniform in front of the mirror, Yotsuya Miko went to the bathroom to wash up.

"boom!"

A pale hand slapped against the mirror, and then a head with its neck outstretched peered down from above.

Despite the terrifying scene, Yotsuya Miko remained completely unfazed, continuing to brush her teeth as if nothing had happened.

Unlike the evil spirits she encountered with Hachiman Hikigaya before, which would actively attack humans, the evil spirits in her house were safe as long as she ignored them and didn't realize that she could see them.

It was precisely because the evil spirits in the house were harmless, along with some other reasons, that this occurred.

Yotsuya Miko did not invite Hikigaya Hachiman to her house after meeting him so that they could wipe out all the evil spirits.

"But it's also quite annoying..."

Looking at the ugly head blocking her view, Yotsuya Miko sighed helplessly.

Although these evil spirits in the house don't cause any real harm, they do obstruct her vision.

It's fine when I'm washing up, but if I'm making a bento box, it's easy for it to mess up the food.

While thinking, Yotsuya Miko took a sip of water to rinse the foam out of her mouth.

She then went to the kitchen to prepare lunch for herself and Hachiman Hikigaya.

"You got up very early today too."

Hearing the noise coming from the kitchen, the mother, who was the second to get up, went to the living room and smiled as she looked at her daughter who was busy in the kitchen.

"Yes, because we need to prepare an extra bento box..."

Preparing an extra bento box was something that couldn't be hidden from her mother's eyes, so Yotsuya Miko never intended to conceal it from the beginning.

"Oh, is this for boys?"

She covered her mouth with one hand and chuckled softly. Her mother looked at Yotsuya Miko's busy figure with a sense of satisfaction.

She used to be inseparable from Xiaohua and never associated with any men other than her husband and son. She was worried that she might have another daughter in the future.

It seems like I don't have to worry about it at all now.

"Ah."

She gave a simple "hmm" to appease her mother's teasing, and then focused her attention back on the oil pan in front of her.

"It seems my daughter can't wait to get married..."

Seeing that her daughter was ignoring her, the mother sighed again.

"mom!"

Upon hearing her mother's words, Yotsuya Miko's face immediately turned bright red. She looked up at her mother with a face full of shame and indignation.

What do you mean by "eager to get married"?

You should at least start dating first!

Moreover...

Thinking of Hachiman Hikigaya's merciless rejection the day before yesterday, Miko Yotsuya bit her lip.

It's unbelievable that when she first fell for a boy, that blockhead rejected her without hesitation!

You really deserve to be single your whole life!

Thinking of this, Yotsuya Miko unconsciously tightened her grip on the tilapia with her chopsticks.

With a crisp "crack", the celestial pheasant instantly broke in two.

Miko Yotsuya, imagining the tempura as someone else, looked at her creation with satisfaction, then placed the overcooked tempura into her lunchbox...

Just as the Tenrafu broke, Hachiman Hikigaya, who was playing with a puppy named Sabre, felt a sudden chill on a certain part of his body.

The rare smile on his face froze instantly.

Just then, Sabre's owner, the girl with the bun hairstyle, walked towards him while calling Sabre's name.

After patting Sabre's head, signaling it to sit still and wait for its owner to come, Hachiman Hikigaya sped away on his bicycle.

"Oh, really, Sabre. Where did you go all of a sudden? I was so worried about you!"

Yui Yuigahama looked at Sabre, who was sitting obediently on the ground waiting for her, and called out, half angry and half helpless.

She then took Sabre into her arms and put the leash on it.

Suddenly she remembered that the figure she had seen playing with Sabre from a distance earlier looked familiar.

"Could it be him?"

Looking up at the end of the road where the person had long since disappeared, Yui Yuigahama recalled a slightly hunched figure.

We can't delay any longer...

The thought of the increasing number of girls around him lately filled Yui Yuigahama with a huge sense of crisis.

She has to do something!

.......

Hachiman Hikigaya arrived at the classroom.

Because he had teased the puppy in the middle of the lesson, there were already quite a few people in the classroom when he went in this time.

Hachiman Hikigaya glanced briefly at the students in his class before heading to his seat.

However, before he could even warm up the seat, Kawasaki Saki walked over with a displeased look on her face.

"I have something to tell you..."

After speaking to Hachiman Hikigaya, Saki Kawasaki turned and walked out of the classroom.

"?"

Hachiman Hikigaya stared at Saki Kawasaki's retreating figure, his mind filled with questions.
