The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

But recalling the evil spirit that almost made her lose control of her bladder along the way, Yotsuya Miko decided to keep Hikigaya Hachiman by her side when she needed to relieve herself.

After all, life is the most important thing!

"All right...."

Upon hearing Miko Yotsuya's reason, Hachiman Hikigaya's face twitched.

However, what Yotsuya Miko said does make sense.

The space is currently teeming with evil spirits, and the best way to ensure Miko Yotsuya's safety is to stay by her side at all times.

Since Yotsuya Miko doesn't mind, then naturally he...

"Wow~"

Hearing the sound of flowing water, Hachiman Hikigaya, who was only separated from his room by a wall, felt incredibly embarrassed.

Why did he agree to such a foolish request?!

Soon, the sound of water in my ears disappeared.

Then, Yotsuya Miko, her face flushed, came out from behind the wall.

"let's go...."

Seeing that Hachiman Hikigaya was staring intently at her, Miko Yotsuya immediately lowered her head and stood in front of him to remind him.

"Ah, ah!"

Yotsuya Miko's words freed Hikigaya Hachiman from his endless regret.

Looking at Yotsuya Miko, whose face was flushed, he inexplicably blushed as well.

"Ahem, well then, let's continue on our way..."

After taking a few deep breaths to ease his embarrassment, Hachiman Hikigaya rallied his spirits and then continued towards the exit with Miko Yotsuya.

However, what the two didn't notice was that a malevolent spirit was drifting towards the wall where Yotsuya Miko was relieving herself...

A dozen minutes later, just as Hachiman Hikigaya breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing an ordinary-looking shop, a dark mass of evil spirits suddenly drifted in from the distant sky!

"A Class A evil spirit has been detected..."

"Advanced evil spirit detected..."

"A general-level evil spirit has been detected..."

.

.

.

The constant notifications from the system turned Hachiman Hikigaya's mind into a tea party.

While struggling to suppress the noise in his mind, Hachiman Hikigaya looked up to observe the group of evil spirits that had suddenly appeared.

Although he couldn't get an exact number, he estimated that the horde of evil spirits consisted of more than a hundred spirits, and all of them were high-level!

Are we going to a meeting?

Staring blankly at the horde of evil spirits in the sky, a hint of helplessness flashed in Hachiman Hikigaya's eyes.

The exit was right in front of him, but then this unexpected thing happened. His feelings could only be described as complicated.

"Hachiman, look...!"

Suddenly, Yotsuya Miko approached Hikigaya Hachiman and pointed to the sky.

Upon hearing this, Hachiman Hikigaya also raised his head and looked up at the sky.

A humanoid evil spirit, surrounded by other evil spirits, slowly descended to the entrance of the shop representing the exit. It then summoned a thin, weak evil spirit from the group.

Is the smell coming from this area?

odor?!

Upon hearing the words of the humanoid evil spirit, Yotsuya Miko's eyes widened immediately.

If I'm not mistaken, these evil spirits are here to find them.

But with the help of the invisibility talisman, they didn't leave any scent along the way. How did these evil spirits follow them?

"Hachiman, what should we do now?"

Since meeting Hachiman Hikigaya, Miko Yotsuya has found herself becoming increasingly lazy.

When faced with a problem she can't solve, she instinctively passes it on to Hachiman Hikigaya, who's standing nearby.

However, Hachiman Hikigaya did not respond to Miko Yotsuya's words.

At this moment, his eyes were fixed on the humanoid evil spirit, his fists clenched, and he looked on guard.

"A Ghost King-level evil spirit has been detected. Host, please fend for yourself..."

Chapter 86 A Search That Turned Out to Be a Chance Encounter

What does it mean to "find your own way to make a living"?

Upon hearing the system's suggestion, Hachiman Hikigaya was filled with nothing but complaints.

Previously, the Special Grade was to warn him to be careful, the General Grade was to tell him to run away quickly, and the King Grade was to tell him to fend for himself. So, will the Emperor Grade and the Ghost God Grade be to make him commit suicide on the spot?

Despite his complaints, the system's advice made Hachiman Hikigaya realize that the strength of the demon king before him was definitely beyond his ability to contend with.

After all, as his own strength increases, the system's recommendations for evil spirits of different levels also change accordingly.

For example, with the general-level evil spirit, at first the system told him to run away quickly, then to be careful, and now it's starting to encourage him to actively attack lone general-level evil spirits.

Even when he could already crush general-level evil spirits, the system's advice to the Ghost King, who was only one level higher, was still so hopeless.

That only proves that the difference in strength between the Ghost King and the Ghost General is enormous.

"This exit is now useless..."

His eyes flickered, and Hachiman Hikigaya decisively chose to abandon this exit.

"System, are there any other places we can get out?"

Hachiman Hikigaya couldn't believe that such a vast space only had one way out.

"Of course there are, but they are quite far away!"

Upon hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's question, the system immediately listed all the nearby exits.

Just as the system said, even the nearest exit to Hachiman Hikigaya is at least a two-hour walk away...

"let's go....."

After observing the distance between the two exits for a while, Hachiman Hikigaya turned to Yotsuya Miko beside him and whispered something before slowly backing away to get away from the demon king and the large group of evil spirits in front of him.

"Ok?"

However, just as the two set off, the demon king seemed to sense something. It suddenly raised its head, looked around for a while, and then locked its gaze on the shop where Hachiman Hikigaya and Miko Yotsuya were hiding.

"Oops!"

When Hachiman Hikigaya saw the Demon King looking in their direction, his heart skipped a beat.

However, just when the two thought they had been exposed, the Ghost King simply waved his hand, signaling three top-tier evil spirits to enter the shop to check the situation.

Even so, Hachiman Hikigaya should not be careless in the slightest.

He pulled Yotsuya Miko's hand and hid behind a cabinet, using his spiritual power to completely extinguish their auras.

Hachiman Hikigaya originally intended to use the two hidden talismans again, but he gave up after considering that the Demon King might be able to detect the spiritual energy fluctuations at the moment the talismans were activated.

After all, Hachiman Hikigaya was quite confident in his ability to use talismans.

There's no way three mere super-grade evil spirits could possibly detect them!

Soon, three top-tier evil spirits drifted leisurely into the shop.

Under the influence of the talisman, they could not detect anything unusual.

After searching around and finding nothing, the three evil spirits promptly floated back to report to the Ghost King that everything was normal.

"Am I too sensitive?"

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, the Ghost King frowned.

Perhaps he was just too nervous?

After all, the fact that it had discovered traces of an exorcist in the evil spirits' stronghold was indeed putting it under considerable pressure.

However, upon realizing that the three great demons had received its information and were already on their way, the Ghost King's expression softened considerably.

Although the exorcist was extremely powerful, he was so arrogant as to barge into this place alone. They could only treat him with the respect due to a local host.

However, there was one thing the Ghost King really couldn't understand.

That's why the exorcist brought a woman here.

Every one of the five exorcists should be well aware of just how dangerous this alternate dimension is...

and many more!

The Ghost King suddenly raised its head; it had considered a possibility!

What if that woman is the exorcist's apprentice?

Although all the high-level evil spirits have restrained themselves in reality after that great battle, they still continue to send their subordinate evil spirits to eliminate qualified people.

However, it's inevitable that some will slip through the net and be encountered by the exorcists.

"If that's the case, then we absolutely cannot let them leave!"

Thinking of this, a fierce glint appeared in the Ghost King's eyes.

The original five exorcists were already enough for them to handle, and the appearance of new exorcists was something that no evil spirit could tolerate!

"let's go....."

Although he didn't know why all the evil spirits outside had suddenly stopped moving, Hachiman Hikigaya knew that now was definitely a good opportunity to evacuate.

As the two of them emerged from the cabinet and were about to leave, Yotsuya Miko stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.
