The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

As the two passed a bubble tea shop on their way home, Yumiko Miura's voice suddenly came from inside.

Immediately afterwards, amidst Yui Yuigahama's puzzled and surprised gaze, Yumiko Miura walked out of the bubble tea shop with a disgruntled expression.

Upon approaching the two, Miura Yumiko first glanced at Hikigaya Hachiman, then shifted her gaze to Yuigahama Yui, questioning, "The very important thing you mentioned this afternoon was accompanying this guy home from school?"

"No, Yumiko, I was planning to bring Yuki cookies this afternoon, but..."

I have absolutely no idea why Miura Yumiko is still here so long after school has ended.

When Yui Yuigahama tried to explain why she went home with Hachiman Hikigaya, she was stopped by Hachiman Hikigaya.

"It's boring to sit in a bubble tea shop all the time, right?"

Looking at the milk tea in Miura Yumiko's hand, Hikigaya Hachiman said something that didn't make sense.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I just happened to run into you here..."

Upon hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's words, Yumiko Miura's expression changed slightly, and she immediately retorted.

"Has it been an hour since school ended?"

However, Hachiman Hikigaya's sharp tone directly exposed Yumiko Miura's lie.

"Would a normal high school student sit in a bubble tea shop near school for an hour after school? Especially since it's on Yui-hama's usual route home..."

"Hey, Yumiko, did you wait for me here on purpose?"

Upon hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's reminder, Yui Yuigahama exclaimed in surprise.

She couldn't believe that Yumiko Miura would do something like this.

"Of course not!"

Upon hearing Yui Yuigahama's words, Yumiko Miura subconsciously raised her voice.

"Who would deliberately wait here for an idiot like you! I just happened to finish chatting with my classmates here and ran into you guys when I came out!"

"Ah, I see..."

Upon hearing Miura Yumiko's explanation, Yui Yuigahama's mood instantly plummeted.

"By the way, why are you leaving school so late?"

Seeing Yui Yuigahama's disappointed look, Yumiko Miura opened her mouth, but in the end, looking at Hachiman Hikigaya next to her, she gritted her teeth and changed the subject back.

"Of course, I just finished club activities."

Hachiman Hikigaya answered matter-of-factly.

Although the real reason was that he had accidentally spent too long cultivating and forgot the time, which is why he was home so late, it was clear that he would never tell anyone about it.

After all, Yui Yuigahama used to admire him for being so engrossed in reading, unlike her own idiot self.

He didn't want to experience the social humiliation of having Yuigahama Yui find out the truth about how engrossed he was in reading.

"Oh? You mean that so-called Service Club that Yukinoshita created?"

When Yukino Yukinoshita and the Service Club were mentioned, Yumiko Miura showed considerable hostility.

After all, the man she likes, Hayato Hayama, is Yukino Yukinoshita's childhood friend.

"Yes, it's the so-called Service Club you mentioned. I wonder if Miura-san has any advice for my club?"

Hearing Miura Yumiko's unfriendly tone, Hikigaya Hachiman frowned and, mimicking Yukino Yukinoshita's tone, also adopted a sarcastic one.

"you!"

Perhaps because she had clashed with Yukino Yukinoshita many times, Yumiko Miura immediately understood who Hachiman Hikigaya had learned from when she heard him speak.

In addition, there was the fact that Yui Yuigahama didn't prepare any cookies for him today, but he didn't get any for himself.

Yumiko Miura was like a powder keg, about to explode on the spot.

"Hey, Yumiko, calm down..."

Seeing that Miura Yumiko was angry, Yui Yuigahama, worried that Hikigaya Hachiman would be at a disadvantage, immediately grabbed Miura Yumiko's arm.

"Yui, you!"

Yumiko Miura was nearly driven mad with anger by her little follower's actions.

Although she had already sided with outsiders, Yui Yuigahama's brazen defense of Hachiman Hikigaya when they were about to argue was something Yumiko Miura hadn't expected.

If you're going to help her, at least do it secretly!

Her actions were so obvious, how was she going to save face later?

We can't really teach Hachiman Hikigaya a lesson, can we?

Chapter 75 The Lost Miura

Yumiko Miura's chest heaved violently.

Half of it was because of Hachiman Hikigaya's words, and the other half was because of Yui Yuigahama's little tricks.

The combination of these two things infuriated her.

Yui Yuigahama and Yumiko Miura are naturally not going to be touched. Even if they wanted to deal with her, they would have to wait until it was just the two of them left.

As for Hachiman Hikigaya...

Looking at Yui Yuigahama, who was staring at her nervously beside her, Miura Yumiko felt powerless.

She took a deep breath to suppress her anger and began to think about how to deal with Hachiman Hikigaya.

Suddenly, she remembered the activities of the Service Club, and her eyes lit up instantly.

Didn't Hachiman Hikigaya say he was in the Service Club?

Then let's give him a few super troublesome assignments.

Once all his energy is spent on the commission, let's see how he can talk back to her then.

Furthermore, if Hachiman Hikigaya doesn't understand the request, wouldn't that prove that the Service Club is meaningless?

It's perfect for sweeping away the snow's fall and adding to the grandeur!

She's so smart!

Yumiko Miura gave herself a thumbs up for her cleverness.

Then, she crossed her arms and looked at Hachiman Hikigaya in front of her, saying with a hint of arrogance, "I have a request for you..."

"Sorry, I cannot accept your request!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Hachiman Hikigaya resolutely chose to refuse after hearing Miura Yumiko's words.

"Eh?"

This was the first time someone had so decisively rejected her request, which left Miura Yumiko stunned for two seconds, somewhat unable to believe that what she had just heard was true.

It's just a nobody like Hikigaya, yet he refused her request. He's just as despicable as that woman!

"In short, I won't accept any requests from you, no matter what kind. If there's nothing else, we'll be going now..."

Looking at the bewildered look in Miura Yumiko's eyes, Hachiman Hikigaya was surprised to find her somewhat cute.

However, it is obvious that such words should never be spoken aloud.

After giving Miura Yumiko a polite nod as a greeting, Hikigaya Hachiman gave Yuigahama Yui a look before pushing his bicycle forward.

"Well then, Yumiko, I'll head home now~"

Having understood the meaning behind Hachiman Hikigaya's eyes, Yui bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to abandon Miura and chase after Hachiman Hikigaya.

After all, she still had many questions she wanted Hachiman Hikigaya to answer.

Yumiko is so amazing, it wouldn't be a big deal even without her, right?

Before Yui Miura could respond to Yui's words, her little follower had already run over to the dead-eyed man and started chatting and laughing with him.

What a crushing defeat...

A feeling of loss suddenly surfaced in Miura Yumiko's mind.

Despite being worried that she would be bullied by Yukinoshita, he deliberately turned down an invitation to go to karaoke and stayed here instead.

result.....

Yumiko Miura patted her face to calm herself down before turning and walking towards her home.

"call......"

Suddenly a gust of wind blew past her, and Miura Yumiko immediately felt a sudden weight on her shoulder.

However, when she turned her head to look at her shoulder, there was nothing there except for the backpack strap.

"Is it my imagination?"

Yumiko Miura gently patted her shoulder, thinking with a hint of doubt.

..........

"Why are you staring at me like that while I'm staying home?"

From the moment that gust of wind started, Yui Yuigahama noticed that Hachiman Hikigaya was staring intently at her.

This made her feel shy, but she couldn't help but wonder what Hachiman Hikigaya was looking at.

"No, it's nothing?"

Upon hearing Yui Yuigahama's words, Hachiman Hikigaya withdrew his gaze.

But he was still thinking about the gust of wind he had just experienced.

Just as the wind blew past the two of them, he noticed that the black aura that had been entwining Yui Yuigahama had suddenly disappeared.

No, describing it as disappearing isn't quite accurate. To be precise, the gust of wind just now carried away the black aura from Yui Yuigahama's body.

"That gust of wind just now was strange!"

This is something that Hachiman Hikigaya can be absolutely certain of.

However, when the wind passed by him, the system did not alert him to the presence of any evil spirits nearby.

"Was it caused by the wind summoned remotely by an evil spirit, or by an exorcist?"
