The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

Upon hearing the answer, Yui blinked, somewhat incredulous that Yumiko Miura's reason for liking Hayama was like this.

"Of course, what else did you expect? A heart-wrenching story of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress? And then, a girl, full of romantic feelings, enters high school only to discover that her savior is her classmate, and then boldly begins to pursue him?"

"Don't be silly, how could such a thing possibly happen to me, Miura Yumiko?"

"As the queen of Soubu High School, I'm always the one helping others. When have I ever needed help from others?"

"For example, studying..."

Ebina, seemingly oblivious to the atmosphere, suddenly interrupted Miura Yumiko's excited emotions.

"Ebina!"

Seeing Ebina undermining her, Miura Yumiko glared at her angrily before continuing her narration in a calm tone.

"When I entered high school, I met Hayama. I thought he was very handsome, had a kind personality, and good grades. Not only that, he also joined the soccer club and was a star player at school. It's only natural that I would want such an outstanding person as my boyfriend, right?"

"Hmm, it can't have taken two years to catch up..."

Yui Yuigahama wiped away non-existent cold sweat from her forehead, her lips twitching slightly.

Such an ordinary yet fierce reason truly reflects Yumiko Miura's personality.

"And then..."

At this point, Miura Yumiko's previously calm face suddenly turned bright red.

"Oh?"

Seeing the change in Yumiko Miura's face, Hina Ebina's eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly pricked up her ears to listen to what Miura would say next.

"At first, I thought we were a good match, which is why I pursued him. But later I felt he was getting better and better, and Hayama also subtly expressed that he didn't want a girlfriend, so I never confessed..."

"And then, boss, you were completely captivated by Ye Shan's personal charm, and you wanted to be obsessed with him, right?"

Before Miura Yumiko could finish speaking, Ebina Hina already guessed what she was going to say next.

That's a very real, yet boring answer.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. How many cliché romance stories of heroes rescuing damsels in distress are there in the world?

Most of the time, it's just lust at first sight, followed by feelings developing over time.

Yumiko Miura is a typical example of someone who got herself into trouble.

"Well, that's how it is. Laugh if you want."

Having had her situation completely exposed by Ebina, Miura Yumiko simply gave up and adopted a resigned expression.

"I didn't mean to laugh. On the contrary, I think you're amazing."

Yui Yuigahama shook her head, looking at her with admiration, and said...

"To be able to pursue someone you like so boldly, even though I've never tried it before, it must take a lot of courage. So Yumiko, you're amazing!"

Chapter 97 The Exorcist's Request

While Yuihama was chatting enthusiastically, Hachiman Hikigaya's sweet dream was also disturbed.

He had just closed his eyes and was not yet asleep when Kawasaki Saki came over and knocked on his table.

"What's matter?"

Since the last request from that top-tier evil spirit, Kawasaki Saki has not received any exorcism requests.

The fact that they've suddenly come to him now means they must have found a new client.

"We have a new client, an old woman..."

Because of the previous incident where Hachiman Hikigaya was put in danger due to a lack of prior investigation of the client, Saki Kawasaki only informed Hachiman Hikigaya about the client's request this time after fully understanding the client's situation.

"Old woman?"

Hachiman Hikigaya raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, the other party claims to be the Shitamachi Shrine Mother, who can see mysterious spirits, which are what we call evil spirits."

"The reason she asked us for help with this mission is that she couldn't handle the target on her own, so she sought assistance."

"and many more!"

Just as Kawasaki Saki was about to continue, Hikigaya Hachiman quickly interrupted her.

Is there a problem with the client's identity?

Upon hearing Hachiman Hikigaya interrupt her, Saki Kawasaki instinctively clenched her fists.

If she were to encounter problems again, she would be too ashamed to ask Hachiman Hikigaya for the money he had given her.

"No, I'm just curious why she can see spirits."

Noticing the tension on Kawasaki Saki's face, Hikigaya Hachiman quickly explained why he had interrupted the conversation.

According to the system's intelligence, there should only be five officially recognized exorcists in the entire Eastern Japan.

The old woman was clearly not one of the five exorcists, and besides, she couldn't see the evil spirit's complete form; she only saw a vague shadow.

But then a problem arose.

How did an ordinary old woman gain the ability to see and exorcise evil spirits?

"I don't know either..."

Upon hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's question, Saki Kawasaki's eyes revealed confusion.

The old woman's past identity was quite mysterious; she only learned about her title of "Shitamachi Shrine Maiden" after asking around for two days over the weekend.

"Okay, thanks for your hard work. So what was her request?"

Kawasaki Saki couldn't find out the old man's identity, but Hikigaya Hachiman wasn't surprised.

Special individuals capable of exorcising spirits must possess some unique means of concealing their identity.

In a world teeming with evil spirits, he would probably have been torn to pieces long ago.

"A small alley in Chiba"

"According to the client's information, there seems to be a considerable number of ordinary evil spirits and a very powerful evil spirit gathered there."

"The client came to us out of desperation because they were unable to exorcise that powerful evil spirit."

"As for the commission, the maximum she can offer is 50."

Should I answer it?

After saying her last words, Saki Kawasaki looked up at Hachiman Hikigaya, awaiting his final decision.

After all, compared to the huge income from the last commission, the money offered by the client this time is far too little.

Kawasaki Saki was also taken aback when she heard the old man's price.

This person is supposed to be a special individual capable of exorcising spirits, yet they only offered a paltry 50 yen as payment...

"It's natural."

In response to Saki Kawasaki's question, Hachiman Hikigaya nodded, indicating that he would accept the request.

After receiving the huge sum of money from the previous commission, Hachiman Hikigaya no longer cared about money.

He would hold onto this idea at least until Komachi's savings reached seven figures.

More than the amount of the reward, Hachiman Hikigaya was now thinking about having a chat with the old lady.

Learn more about this world from her, and whether there are more people like her.

Of course, if possible, he also wanted to learn from her how to enable ordinary people to see evil spirits and how to exorcise them.

After all the commotion last night, Hachiman Hikigaya had fully grasped the terrifying nature of Miko Yotsuya's spirit-summoning constitution.

Even if he went to the Yotsuya family to exorcise spirits once a day, the Yotsuya family would still be filled with all kinds of evil spirits.

Therefore, it would be better to find a way to give Yotsuya Miko her own means of fighting against evil spirits.

Unfortunately, in the system shop, items like the red ponytail bracelet on Komachi's wrist, which can help ordinary people fight against evil spirits, cost at least 5 spirit coins.

"Okay, I'll give her an answer today and then we'll arrange a time to meet."

Hachiman Hikigaya had made his decision, and Saki Kawasaki nodded, then returned to her seat without hesitation.

Watching Kawasaki Saki walk away, Hachiman Hikigaya rubbed his eyes, wanting to lie down and sleep for a while longer.

Then, half a minute later...

"I just can't sleep at all!"

Hachiman Hikigaya looked up at the ceiling in utter despair.

Even though his head was throbbing and his body was extremely tired, his mind was unusually clear and he couldn't fall asleep at all!

Oh no, the first class is with Ms. Hiratsuka. What if I fall asleep in her class...?

Thinking of Hiratsuka Shizuna's kind smile, a trace of fear flashed through Hikigaya Hachiman's heart.
