The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

Last night, after failing to subdue Otani and watching helplessly as Yukino was carried away by that guy, Haruno almost went crazy on the spot.

It's so easy to guess what Otani and Itsuki were going to do with Yukino.

However, to Haruno's surprise, just a few minutes after she had been suffering, Yukino, dressed neatly, reappeared in front of her and rescued her and her unconscious mother.

Then came the news of Otani and Itsuki's disappearance...

Haruno didn't know what Otani and the tree were, but they were definitely not human.

Yang Nai was also very clear that her younger sister was an ordinary person.

After all, Yukino had always been under her protection.

Then the problem is coming.

What happened in those few minutes between Otani and Itsuki taking her sister away and Yukino returning to save her?

"Sister, you should understand, right?"

Yukino Yukinoshita looked up at her older sister, a helpless expression on her face.

"Of course I understand..."

Yang Nai was taken aback for a moment, then gave a wry smile.

What happened in those few minutes is actually quite easy to guess.

It's nothing more than someone suddenly appearing and rescuing her sister from that guy, Otani Kazuki.

What Haruno wanted to know was simply the identity of the person who saved Yukino.

However, if she put herself in her sister's shoes, she wouldn't reveal her savior's identity and cause trouble for that person either.

But understanding does not mean giving up.

Yang Nai had also received some information from her friend, and she knew that such a good opportunity should not be missed!

Chapter 77 Troubled Siblings

"Whatever you want, I'm absolutely not going to tell you anything."

Seeing that Haruno had no intention of giving up, Yukino could only sigh and shut her mouth, letting Haruno guess wildly.

After all, she is still in high school, while Yang Nai has already graduated from university and started to take over the family business. Even if Yang Nai really wanted to investigate her, he couldn't stop her.

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you, Yukino~"

Although she didn't get any useful information from Yukino, Haruno wasn't actually worried that she wouldn't be able to find the person from last night.

Yukino's social circle is very small, and judging from her reluctance to reveal information about that person, it's certain that it must be someone Yukino knows.

So that person from last night is very likely hiding among the people who have interacted with Yukino...

"But we can't just approach rashly..."

Having essentially pinpointed the mysterious person's identity to be a student, Yang Nai wasn't in a hurry to find him, but rather worried about how to meet him.

After all, the people she was going to meet were among the only five in the entire Eastern Japan.

Would the other person be willing to meet her? Would they be angry if they discovered she was deliberately trying to get close to him?

Questions that were previously only considered by her suitors now appeared in Yang Nai's mind in a series of ways.

"Let's make this clear first, you absolutely cannot disturb my normal life or the lives of the people around me!"

What Haruno could guess, Yukino Yukinoshita could also think of.

Realizing that her older sister could easily narrow down the search to people around her, Yukino immediately made a request to protect Hachiman Hikigaya.

Yukino Yukinoshita fully trusts Hachiman Hikigaya's disguise.

After all, she had spent some time with him.

It wasn't until Hachiman Hikigaya saved her that she discovered his hidden identity.

Therefore, as long as Yang Nai's search methods are suppressed to a certain extent, she can then remind Hachiman Hikigaya to be careful next Monday.

The possibility of Hachiman Hikigaya being exposed is extremely low!

"Of course!"

Yang Nai readily agreed to his sister's request, a sly smile playing on his lips.

My younger sister is still too young.

Having seen countless people, she only needs to visit Soubu High School and meet the people around Yukino to immediately tell who is special, without needing to conduct a large-scale search.

"Speaking of which, Yukino, why do you have other people's award certificates in your bag?"

After discussing the mysterious man, Yang asked about another issue that concerned her.

"You touched my backpack?"

Upon hearing Haruno's words, Yukino Yukinoshita's expression immediately turned cold.

"I didn't have one. The certificate just fell out of your bag by itself."

Her younger sister was angry, but Haruno wasn't worried at all, because she had indeed found the certificate on the living room floor, not by secretly looking through Yukino's schoolbag.

"Is that so? I'm sorry..."

Sure enough, after hearing Haruno's explanation, Yukino's expression immediately softened, and she showed a guilty look on her face for misunderstanding Haruno.

"So, who is Hachiman Hikigaya?"

Although she already had all the information on Hachiman Hikigaya, seeing the interesting changes in her younger sister's expression, Haruno pretended to be confused and continued to ask questions.

He is a member of my club.

When Hachiman Hikigaya was mentioned, Yukino's tone remained as calm and indifferent as ever, without a trace of emotional fluctuation.

"Is that the ministry you founded?"

When the Service Club was mentioned, a hint of amusement appeared on Haruno's face.

Is it any wonder she's her adorable younger sister? She actually created a club with such childish ideas...

"That's right. He accidentally left his certificate in the activity room. I was planning to return it to him the next day, but then you showed up, sister."

"That's it..."

Haruno had already confirmed with Shizuka Hikigaya that Hachiman Hikigaya was forced into the position by Shizuka Hiratsuka.

Furthermore, Shizuka Hiratsuka also said that Hachiman Hikigaya hasn't done anything strange lately; he's just an ordinary high school student.

Yang Nai tends to trust her friends.

Therefore, after hearing Yukino's reasoning that there were no flaws, she temporarily chose to believe it.

..........

The scene of the second annual family meeting of the Hikigaya family.

Hachiman Hikigaya sat nervously in one corner of the sofa, while Komachi occupied the main seat with a troubled expression on her face.

Just now, Komachi successfully tricked Hachiman Hikigaya into revealing that he and Miko Yotsuya eat lunch together every day.

"I miscalculated..."

Komachi glanced at Hachiman Hikigaya out of the corner of her eye, a hint of helplessness flashing through her mind.

Even though he's already raised his older brother to be a good-for-nothing, how can Hachiman Hikigaya still attract girls?

And she's such a proactive girl, she just brought me lunchbox A!

Ugh, what's most infuriating is that, as the younger sister, she couldn't stop it, since this concerned Hachiman Hikigaya's happiness...

"Um, I have absolutely no relationship with Yotsuya-kun..."

Seeing that Komachi's face looked worse than ever before, Hachiman Hikigaya weakly raised his hand to explain.

"Of course I know."

Komachi glared at Hachiman Hikigaya with a hint of annoyance.

She knew perfectly well that Hachiman Hikigaya and the girl named Miko Yotsuya were innocent.

After all, she knew perfectly well how cowardly Hachiman Hikigaya was when it came to matters of the heart.

Not only that, Komachi also greatly admired the courage and perseverance of the girl who dared to pursue Hachiman Hikigaya.

If Yotsuya Miko herself wasn't so bad, she would have won over any other guy by now, right?

If Yotsuya Miko hadn't been eyeing Hikigaya Hachiman, Komachi herself would have wanted to criticize how dense the boy was.

"So, Onii-chan, what are you planning to do about that girl named Yotsuya Miko..."

After thinking for a while, Komachi, who had no clue how to solve the problem, passed the buck to Hachiman Hikigaya, the person in charge.

"To be honest, I don't know either..."

When asked how to deal with Miko Yotsuya's problem, Hachiman Hikigaya looked completely bewildered.

When faced with the feelings expressed by Yotsuya Miko, he broke his previous principle of subtle rejection and directly expressed his rejection, in order to cut off Yotsuya Miko's thoughts.

After all, according to the intelligence at the time, only the two of them in the world could see evil spirits, and he had just recently saved Miko Yotsuya's life...

In this situation, it is perfectly normal for Yotsuya Miko to develop feelings of liking and dependence on him.

But after calming down, Yotsuya Miko should have realized that this was just an illusion.

However, things didn't turn out the way Hachiman Hikigaya had predicted; Miko Yotsuya still seemed to like him...

Chapter 78 The Head in the Refrigerator

"I'm back....."

I fumbled for the switch next to the entrance and pressed it, and the whole apartment instantly became bright.

Looking at the empty house, Miura Yumiko sighed, changed into slippers, and dragged her slightly tired body into the living room.

Due to work commitments, Yumiko Miura's parents work overseas for extended periods and usually communicate with her and her two siblings by phone.

Yumiko Miura's older sister and older brother went to university in other cities in the two years before last and last year, respectively.
