The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

Clearly, even though Yukino rebelled and moved out for a while, she hadn't forgotten the most basic things.

I'm sure that lord will be very pleased to see her.

Chapter 57 A Unique Evil Spirit and a Request for Help

As one of the only ten general-level evil spirits in Chiba, Otani Kazuki lives a rather comfortable life.

A top-tier evil spirit, whose body is now completely indistinguishable from that of a normal person.

That's why Otani Kazuki spends all his time indulging in all sorts of extravagant experiences that he could never have had in his previous life.

But this incredibly enjoyable life was suddenly interrupted today.

In the early hours of the morning, while it was exchanging life insights with three stunning beauties, its subordinates suddenly reported that one of its top-tier evil spirits had been killed!

Upon hearing the news, it was so angry that it immediately ate all three people who had just been intimately interacting with it.

However, as soon as they entered its belly, Otani and Itsuki regretted it.

The three people it ate were people it had collected with great effort.

Its excitement meant it had to collect them all again.

To avoid being lonely tonight, and also to satisfy his peculiar fetish, Otani Kazuki set his sights directly on the prestigious Yukinoshita family in Chiba.

After all, even the most powerful and prestigious families can be dealt with with a simple deception.

And things progressed exactly as Otani Kazuki had predicted.

After directly bewitching Lady Yukinoshita's mind, without any prompting, Lady Yukinoshita took the initiative to hold a banquet to select a husband for her daughter.

Of course, the target had already been chosen.

With Otani and Itsuki around, how could Lady Yukinoshita possibly make the decision to choose someone else?

The thought of being able to toy with that seemingly innocent but actually aloof girl right after the banquet filled Otani Kazuki with a restless excitement.

As for investigating the cause of death of the super-class evil spirit under his command?

What's there to investigate?

It was simply because too many people ate it that it was killed by exorcists among humans.

Therefore, Otani and Itsuki really couldn't understand why their fellow humans would eat people so easily.

Why not occasionally eat a few heinous criminals to fill your stomach, and then use your abilities to enjoy a high-quality life?

Just as Otani and Itsuki were thinking, a commotion suddenly arose in the crowd.

Soon, amidst gasps of surprise, Lady Yukinoshita entered through the door with her two daughters.

Otani Kazuki squinted at the three people walking towards him, and his mind suddenly started to wander.

Originally, its only target for tonight was Yukino Yukinoshita.

But after seeing the mother and her two daughters, it suddenly had a wonderful idea, and it even planned to turn this idea into reality.

"This is Mr. Otani..."

Lady Yukinoshita had no idea what Otani Kazuki was thinking at that moment; otherwise, she probably would have immediately turned on him and ordered her bodyguards to beat up this audacious fellow and throw him out.

Unfortunately, Kazuki Otani is not human, and Lady Yukinoshita has been controlled by Kazuki Otani.

Therefore, instead of getting angry at Otani and Itsuki's aggressive gaze, Mrs. Yukinoshita smiled and introduced it to her two daughters.

Unlike the controlled Lady Yukinoshita, Haruno and Yukino frowned instantly upon noticing Kazuki Otani's gaze, and at the same time became curious about Kazuki Otani's identity.

They all assumed that their mother was suppressing her anger and pretending to be fine because of Otani and Itsuki's identities.

"Mr. Otani, these are my two daughters..."

After briefly explaining Otani Kazuki's identity to her daughter, Mrs. Yukinoshita immediately introduced her two daughters to Otani Kazuki.

Although Kazuki Otani had already stated that his target was her youngest daughter, Mrs. Yukinoshita still wanted to try to persuade Kazuki Otani to change his target to Haruno.

Because no matter how you look at it, Yukino is just too young.

Moreover, given Yukino's personality, she is completely unable to stand up to Otani Kazuki.

Conversely, if it were her eldest daughter, Mrs. Yukinoshita was confident that Haruno would handle Otani and Itsuki, and even secure benefits for the Yukinoshita family...

"No!"

Kazuki Otani raised his hand to interrupt Mrs. Yukinoshita.

He didn't come here to listen to her nonsense.

If he really wanted to know the information, he could have easily gathered it up with the other four of them later...

Just as Otani Kazuki was eyeing the mother and daughter Yukinoshita with predatory intent, Hachiman Hikigaya received another message.

However, this message did not originate from a mobile phone.

"Father, come quickly!"

Looking at the very clear request for help on the panel, Hachiman Hikigaya hesitated about whether he should go and help.

But then he thought, maybe someone in another world is in danger and desperately needs his help...

In the end, Hachiman Hikigaya agreed to the request for assistance.

"Dear former host, you have finally agreed!"

Just after clicking "confirm," the voice of the long-unheard intelligent system appeared in Hachiman Hikigaya's mind.

Immediately afterwards, a black vortex appeared in front of him, followed by the system's voice urging him to step into it quickly.

"Wait, there are some things I want to confirm..."

Looking at the mysterious black vortex in front of him, Hachiman Hikigaya did not feel fear. On the contrary, he was very calm and wanted to ask a few questions.

"During the support period, time in your world will be frozen!"

"After completing the support mission, I will immediately send you back to your original world with your consent. Of course, the teleportation location may be slightly off, but it will definitely be in Chiba!"

"After the rescue is completed, the system will give you 10000 spirit coins as a reward!"

"Dad, do you have any other questions? If not, come and help me!"

"Uh, that's all..."

The system gave him the answer to the question he wanted to ask in one breath, and Hachiman Hikigaya felt uneasy as he stepped into the vortex.

"So what do you need my help with?"

After stepping into the vortex, Hachiman Hikigaya could vaguely sense that he was traveling through a strange passage.

To avoid arriving in another world completely bewildered and not knowing what to do, he started asking the system what his mission was.

"Oh, so all we need to do is hold off a demon with the strength of a king for three hours."

Upon hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's question, the AI ​​system replied in a very embarrassed tone.

"Send me back!"

Without the slightest hesitation, after hearing the system's words, Hachiman Hikigaya immediately and expressionlessly requested to return.

What a joke!

He only managed to defeat a Special-level evil spirit with the help of the bracelet before, and now this idiotic system is making him hold off a King-level evil spirit for three hours? Isn't this just sending him to his death?!

"No, it's only three hours! You can definitely do it! And you have helpers too!"

Upon hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's request to retreat, the system immediately panicked.

Without Hachiman Hikigaya's help, its host's current physical condition would definitely not allow it to survive until dawn.

The entire timeline would collapse and restart, and it couldn't afford such consequences.

Chapter 58 The System That Almost Tried to Slack Off

"helper?"

Upon hearing the system's words and realizing that he could return midway, Hachiman Hikigaya immediately abandoned the idea of ​​going back.

After all, if he followed the normal procedure, he didn't know how long it would take him to accumulate 10000 spirit coins.

Such a generous reward for just three hours of perseverance is worth the risk, even if it's a bit risky.

"That's right, that's right! You weren't the main force before, host. You just needed to cooperate with my current host to defeat that ghost king, and then we could wait until dawn!"

Seeing that Hachiman Hikigaya was wavering, the system quickly added.

"Is your current host stronger than me?"

Upon hearing that the system would allow him to be an assistant, a hint of curiosity flashed across Hachiman Hikigaya's face.

Normally, shouldn't the previous system's host be stronger?

"Of course, the host I've chosen this time is the strongest human in this world!"

When talking about its current host, the system's tone was full of pride and smugness.

According to the storyline of that world, it was originally supposed to possess a boy named Kamado Tanjiro, and then help this host, who was burdened with a blood feud, to improve his strength step by step, and then defeat the big boss of that world, which was the demon king.

But obviously, this method of completing the task is too inefficient.

In order to end this mission as soon as possible, the system brought forward its own appearance by a year and possessed the body of Tanjuro Kamado, Tanjiro Kamado's father.

As Tanjiro Kamado's father, Tanjuro Kamado is practically a bug in the system.

He is not only the only ordinary person who has mastered the Transparent World, but he has also fully mastered the Kagura Breathing of the Hinokami, which has been passed down through generations of his family. This is actually the strongest breathing technique in that world—the Breath of the Sun.

And like Tanjiro Kamado, Tanjuro Kamado also has a mark on his forehead!

As the system predicted, under its guidance, Tanjuro Kamado continuously completed the easy tasks issued by the system to obtain attribute points, and then put all the attribute points into his physique.

After more than a year of recuperation, Tanjuro Kamado, who should have died, not only did not die, but his health improved significantly.

But just when everything was getting better, trouble struck.

On the night of the first snowfall of the second winter after the system possessed Tanjuro Kamado, the final boss of this world, Muzan Kibutsuji, for some unknown reason, attacked all by himself.

Despite having Tanjuro Kamado around, Muzan Kibutsuji couldn't gain any advantage at all. In fact, he was so frightened by the first time he saw Tanjuro Kamado that he fled in panic.
