The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

Could it be that the heads she just saw were all hallucinations she imagined?

No wonder the middle-aged man looked at her so strangely...

"Are you OK?"

Just as Miura Yumiko was relieved that what had just happened was all a hallucination, a cold hand was placed on her forehead.

"what are you doing?!"

Miura Yumiko quickly distanced herself from the man, looking warily at the man who was still reaching out.

"Feel sorry......"

Seeing Miura Yumiko's wary expression, the man in black was taken aback at first, then immediately apologized and explained his reason for doing so: "Because you seemed distracted, I wanted to check if you were sick..."

"you are a doctor?"

Upon hearing the man's explanation for his actions, Miura Yumiko's expression softened considerably, but she still maintained a considerable level of vigilance and a safe distance while speaking with him.

After all, it seems rather frivolous for a man to casually touch a strange woman, especially on her forehead!

"No, I'm still studying at the University of Tokyo's Faculty of Medicine..."

Faced with Miura Yumiko's questioning, the man gently shook his head, denying her conjecture.

"Tokyo University! And the medical school?!"

However, the man's answer made Miura Yumiko uneasy.

Are you kidding me?! Students at the University of Tokyo's Faculty of Medicine are even more capable than regular doctors!

"Then why are you here?"

After looking the young, handsome man in front of her up and down—who had also been admitted to the University of Tokyo's medical school—Miura Yumiko became somewhat curious.

After all, although Chiba is very close to Tokyo, it still takes quite a bit of time to get there from the University of Tokyo.

"Because I live here, and today is Friday."

Faced with Miura Yumiko's question, the man maintained a gentle demeanor and explained to her in a reassuring tone.

"Is that so?"

Hearing the man's explanation, Miura Yumiko gave an embarrassed smile, while inwardly regretting how stupid she was for forgetting that it was Friday and everyone was supposed to have the day off!

"By the way, was something the reason you were running so fast just now?"

After exchanging a few words, the man suddenly showed an expression of interest.

After all, the way Miura Yumiko had fled in such a disheveled state was truly unforgettable...

"Ah, this..."

Upon hearing the man's question, Yumiko Miura's smile froze, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer it.

After all, she couldn't very well say that she had just hallucinated and mistakenly believed that a giant human head was chasing her all the way from her eighteenth-floor apartment to the lobby on the first floor, could she?

If she said that, the man in front of her would definitely laugh her to death!

"Well, if there's anything you can't say, that's fine too..."

The man noticed Miura Yumiko's embarrassment and kindly helped her out, then added, "My name is Inoue Yasutaka, and as I mentioned before, I'm a medical student at the University of Tokyo. If you need anything, you can find me in room 6 on the 18th floor..."

"You're also on the 18th floor?"

Yumiko Miura was stunned again.

What a coincidence! Her apartment is on the 18th floor, number 5, which happens to be Inoue Yasutaka's neighbor!

"Any questions?"

Upon hearing Miura Yumiko suddenly shout, Inoue Yasutaka looked puzzled.

"No, it's nothing... I just think it's a coincidence that I also live on the 18th floor, and my room number happens to be 5..."

After saying that, Miura Yumiko felt her face turn bright red.

She didn't understand why; even though it was just a normal eye contact with Inoue Yasutaka, her heart inexplicably fluttered, and then she couldn't help but feel shy...

Even though she likes Hayama, she doesn't react this strongly when she's with him. Why is she so flustered when she's with Inoue Yasutaka, whom she's just met?

"Oh? Then we two really are quite destined to be together..."

When Inoue Yasutaka heard Miura Yumiko's answer, he was taken aback at first, and then a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, yes. It really is quite a coincidence..."

Seeing Inoue Yasutaka's smile, Miura Yumiko's heart pounded even harder.

She dared not stay any longer. After saying goodbye apologetically, she rushed into the elevator next to her and took it back home.

"What a lovely little girl..."

Seeing Miura Yumiko flee in panic, Inoue Yasutaka stood quietly and watched her figure disappear from sight.

When he was the only one left in the hall, he walked into the doorway through which Miura had run out earlier, staring at the trembling head hiding in the shadows, a fierce glint in his eyes.

"Didn't I tell you to behave yourself lately?"

Chapter 80: Jianzi encountered a ghost again!

Saturday, 8:30 a.m.

The moment the alarm clock rang, Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly opened his eyes.

After yawning and stretching, Hachiman Hikigaya's drowsy mind guided his body as he walked downstairs.

"Good morning, Onii-chan~"

As usual, Komachi was lying on the sofa watching a morning drama, wearing pajamas that barely covered her upper thighs.

Seeing Hachiman Hikigaya come down, she quickly waved to him in greeting.

"Ah, good morning..."

Still half-asleep, Hachiman Hikigaya nodded to Komachi and then went into the bathroom.

A few minutes later...

After washing up with cold water, Hachiman Hikigaya emerged from the bathroom, looking refreshed, and sat down at the dining table to enjoy the breakfast that Komachi had prepared for him.

"Does Onii-chan have any activities today?"

While watching TV, Komachi chatted idly with Hachiman Hikigaya.

"Yeah, I'm going to Yotsuya's house today..."

Hachiman Hikigaya nodded and told her that he was going to Miko Yotsuya's house later.

"what?!"

Komachi instantly raised the volume several decibels, turned off the TV, and turned to look at Hachiman Hikigaya with a serious expression.

"Onii-chan, you said you didn't like her, right?"

"That's right, why are you suddenly asking this?"

Looking at Komachi, whose expression had suddenly turned serious, Hachiman Hikigaya, who was completely bewildered, slowly typed a question mark.

It's just going to Yotsuya Miko's house to exorcise a spirit, why is Komachi so nervous?

You should know that his current strength is comparable to that of a general-level exorcist. The only thing he can't handle in the entire Chiba is that Ghost King.

"Then why did you go to her house today?"

Komachi, whose concerns were completely different, crossed her arms in front of her and questioned Hachiman Hikigaya.

"Exorcism! Yotsuya said her house is full of evil spirits, and they're seriously disrupting her life. So she asked me to go to her house today and get rid of them all..."

"That's right..."

Hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's explanation, Komachi nodded.

She now fully understood Yotsuya Miko's plan.

That's a really ingenious plan.

First, he used Hachiman Hikigaya's empathy to lure him into his home on the condition that the evil spirits in his house were present.

Then we'll deliberately create some unexpected events, and then...

This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed!

"Onii-chan, what time is your scheduled meeting with her?!"

Having made up her mind to take charge, Komachi began asking Hachiman Hikigaya about his departure time.

"At ten o'clock later..."

"Ten o'clock?"

Upon hearing the answer, Komachi's face showed a thoughtful expression.

She sat down on the sofa, but soon stood up again and ran back upstairs.

"........."

Hachiman Hikigaya silently observed Komachi's various perplexing reactions.

He quietly finished his breakfast, washed the dishes, and then went upstairs to change his clothes before going out.

"Komachi, I'm going out now."

I really wanted to just wear something casual and meet up with Miko Yotsuya.

However, it's worth considering that the other person is a girl, and there are other reasons such as meeting her family.

Despite his limited aesthetic sense, Hachiman Hikigaya managed to pick out a decent outfit.

Before leaving, Hachiman Hikigaya shouted loudly at Komachi's tightly closed door.

However, Komachi's room remained silent, offering no response.

"I'll set off first..."

There was no response, and Hachiman Hikigaya didn't think much of it.
