A young love story that started with exorcism

"I'm fine, thank you for saving me"

On the third floor, Chika Fujiwara stuck her head out of the window and looked down. When she saw Kaguya Shinomiya being held by someone and seemingly unharmed, she excitedly cried out:

"Kaguya, are you okay? That's great. Wait for me, I'll be down soon."

Here, Chika Fujiwara shrank back and was about to get down after she finished speaking. Kaguya Shinomiya was too embarrassed to continue staying in Takahashi Takumi's arms at this time, and said shyly: "My classmate, you can put me down now."

"Oh well"

Takahashi Takumi immediately put Shinomiya Kaguya down, and then asked curiously: "Why did you jump out of the window? It's the third floor up there."

"I...I don't know either. I just jumped out when I came to my senses. Fortunately, I had your help, otherwise I would have been seriously injured."

Kaguya Shinomiya recalled the scene just now and felt a little scared. Then she secretly glanced at Takahashi Takumi and grabbed the corner of her clothes with both hands. She mustered up the courage to ask: "What is your name? I, Kaguya Shinomiya, will definitely repay your kindness."

"My name is Takahashi Takumi. You don't need to repay me. It's just a small favor."

Seeing that Takahashi Takumi didn't seem to care, Shinomiya Kaguya said anxiously: "No, the Shinomiya family motto is to repay a favor."

Before Shinomiya Kaguya could continue, Fujiwara Chika rushed over, hugged Shinomiya Kaguya in her arms, and cried loudly:

"Wow, I thought Kaguya was dead, but she's still alive. That's great, ahh ...

Shinomiya Kaguya's head was pressed in the surging waves of flesh, and she almost couldn't breathe. She struggled to escape from Fujiwara Chika's arms and said angrily:

"I didn't fall to my death, but you almost suffocated me. I have to thank you..."

When she turned around, she suddenly found that Takumi Takahashi had left. Now, Kaguya Shinomiya looked at Chika Fujiwara with a much colder look.

"It's all your fault. My benefactor is gone, but at least I know his name."

……

When Takahashi Takumi saw Fujiwara Chika running over, he knew that he was almost done with his work, so he quietly walked away.

According to Kaguya Shinomiya, she herself didn't know how she jumped out of the window. It could be sleepwalking, or perhaps something supernatural is involved. Add to that the owl Miko mentioned, and there's a strong possibility there's some connection.

Before leaving, Takahashi Takumi used a circle to scout the surrounding trees, but didn't find any owls. Could it be that they thought they had succeeded and flew away?

Takahashi Takumi had a feeling that this would be another tricky problem. He was really tired. Why did this kind of thing always happen everywhere?

Just as Takahashi Takumi was walking back with an unhappy look on his face, he suddenly noticed a large group of students coming out of the classroom and running towards the other side of the teaching building.

Judging from their expressions, some were nervous and afraid, some were excited and curious. I don’t know what happened that was worthy of these idle young people running out to be spectators?

I guess someone is going to confess in public. If one of the parties is a celebrity in the school, it will be even more of a topic and can be gossiped about for a week.

Recalling that he was called the Demon Prince and the Messenger of Hell, it was probably spread among these people.

Takahashi Takumi didn't plan to join in the fun. Who knew what trouble would pop up? He quickly turned around and went back to the classroom.

However, after returning to the classroom, classmates mentioned one after another that a student had just committed suicide by jumping from the rooftop.

Chapter 99: The Wronged Ghost Claims Life

Could this be the reason why so many people gathered to watch? Another jump from a building, could this be related to Kaguya Shinomiya's jump from a building?

Takahashi Takumi's eyes twitched wildly and he decided to cover his ears. If I can't hear anything, nothing happened.

After school that afternoon, Yotsuya Miko, unusually, didn't go to the Service Club first, and now she was waiting for Takahashi Takumi to go with her. However, the classmates seemed to have tacitly accepted their close relationship, and no one shouted or made a fuss when they saw Takahashi Takumi and Yotsuya Miko walking out side by side.

At the Service Club, Yukinoshita Yukino was the first to arrive and had already started making tea. Yotsuya Miko left Takumi Takahashi and ran over to share the news she had heard in class with her.

"Xue No, have you heard? Someone jumped off the building at noon."

"I heard a few words, but I don't know the details."

"I heard he was dead, how scary."

The two of them were discussing with sympathy why the student was so depressed and wanted to jump off the building. As they spoke, they turned to look at Takahashi Takumi, as if they wanted to find the answer from him.

Takahashi Takumi said angrily: "Don't look at me, I don't know anything"

Yotsuya Miko was still a little worried and asked, "Takahashi-kun, maybe I'm overthinking it, but is there any possibility that it wasn't suicide?"

"Do you think this might be a supernatural event? Don't scare yourself. There aren't so many supernatural events happening. Maybe it's due to excessive pressure from academic advancement or some other reason."

That’s right, although there are many supernatural problems in this world, it is impossible for so many supernatural events to happen in the same school.

Takahashi Takumi found that he hadn't had a good rest since he traveled here, and all kinds of strange things happened one after another. After dealing with so many troubles, couldn't he stop for a while and enjoy himself?

However, after Kasumigaoka Utaha came to the Service Club and brought first-hand gossip information, Takahashi Takumi was completely speechless. This school really has a lot of gossip.

According to the information obtained by Utaha Kasumigaoka, the deceased was a high school senior named Makoto Matou. He was a very high-profile playboy in normal times, but because of his wealthy family and handsome face, many crazy girls threw themselves at him.

Some comments were heard among the senior high school students saying that this was not suicide, but death caused by the revenge of wronged spirits.

Just last Christmas, this playboy wasn't satisfied with just hanging out with his new girlfriend, so he even asked his workmate to join him. He then exposed the incident, and his girlfriend, unable to bear the humiliation, jumped to her death shortly thereafter. So, those who knew him were saying that the ghost of the wronged man had come to take his life.

"Humph," Yukinoshita Yukino said with disgust after hearing this: "If it's true, then he is really a scumbag. Such people deserve to die. But scumbags won't be willing to end their lives like this, and they don't have the courage to commit suicide, so I'm sure there are other strange reasons for his death."

"Mr. Takahashi, do you think it is really a wronged ghost seeking revenge?" Kasumigaoka Utaha asked Takumi Takahashi nervously and with a little anticipation.

Unfounded associations are unreliable. Takahashi Takumi rolled his eyes and lay directly on the table, saying weakly: "Maybe"

Seeing that Takahashi Takumi looked weak, Yotsuya Miko thought that he did not sleep well the night before. Although she had heard Takahashi Takumi describe his victory over the enemy in a very simple way before, he probably did not want her to worry about him, as the battle must have been very dangerous.

After all, Takahashi Takumi has always been energetic, and his strong body seems to have endless strength. Now he is lying on the table, he must be sleepy and tired.

Thinking of this, Yotsuya Miko felt that she had to make some contribution to this matter, and she couldn't rely on Takahashi Takumi to complete it alone. So she stood up and said to Yukinoshita Yukino:

"This time we must find the cause of the incident ourselves. We have the ability of clairvoyance, at least we can observe the wronged souls. Takahashi-kun is very tired, so we can't leave it all to Takahashi-kun alone."

At this time, Yukinoshita Yukino also noticed that Takahashi Takumi was lying on the table to rest. For a moment, she thought of the fact that Takahashi Takumi had almost stayed up all night last night. She suddenly felt a little sorry for him and understood Yotsuya Miko's intention.

After thinking carefully for a while, Yukino turned around and said to Kasumigaoka Utaha:

"If what you say is true, then the ghost's revenge isn't just on Matou Makoto alone. His minions won't be able to escape either, as they're all accomplices. So all we have to do is keep an eye on them. The ghost will definitely strike again, and then we'll just have to wait and see."

"That's right," Yotsuya Miko also thought of this, but still said with embarrassment: "But it seems that even if we see it, it's useless. We have no means to deal with evil spirits at all. Whether this wronged soul is an evil spirit or not, we can't do anything about it. In the end, Takahashi-kun will have to take action!"

This was the truth, and Yukinoshita Yukino was speechless for a moment. It was too powerless. You couldn't rely on dialogue to convince the wronged souls to stop seeking revenge and quickly ascend to heaven and reincarnate. Even Yukinoshita Yukino felt that the accomplices all deserved to die. How could she convince the wronged souls who died with hatred?

She couldn't even talk, and could the ghost understand human language? Even if it could, would it eat people directly like the evil spirits if it knew I could see it?

So in the end, it was still up to Takumi Takahashi to take action, but Takumi Takahashi didn't mind this. After noticing the changes in the expressions of Yotsuya Miko and Yukinoshita Yukino, he roughly guessed what they were thinking.

"How many accomplices were there at that time?" Takahashi Takumi asked

"There were three other people, all from the same class. When the story first spread, it was suppressed. Apart from the senior students, few people knew about it. But after the mastermind, Makoto Matou, died, other students started talking about it."

So that's how it is. But does this have anything to do with Kaguya Shinomiya jumping off the building?

This all happened last year, so why is he seeking revenge now? Could it be related to the EH chat group again, just like Nobi Shizuka last time, where she suddenly gained the power of the EH chat group and started seeking revenge for her loved ones?

If that's the case, then it has nothing to do with the wronged souls. Did the revengeful person deliberately kill Matou Makoto in the same way to commemorate his relatives?

Such straightforward revenge was so decisive compared to that little girl Nobi Shizuka that it almost made Takumi Takahashi ignore this possibility.

But why is the EH chat group always causing trouble at Shuchiin Academy? Could it be that the person who created this chat group is also from Shuchiin Academy?

"So that's it?" Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw Takahashi Takumi suddenly fall into deep thought.

"I wonder if there was another reason why Makoto Matou jumped off the building."

Other reasons? Yukinoshita Yukino pondered secretly, there shouldn't be any problem analyzing this incident based on the information provided by Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Chapter 100 Something Strange

According to Kasumigaoka Utaha, the deceased was a scumbag who abused women, and the victim was a girl who was forced to jump off a building and commit suicide. The wronged ghost is seeking revenge... This makes perfect sense.

No, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly realized that the ghosts seeking revenge were not objective information, but just a guess made by Kasumigaoka Utaha. She also realized that she had been misled by Kasumigaoka Utaha's words from the beginning. It should be said that she herself also secretly hoped that it was the girl who died unjustly who came to seek revenge.

Now if we sort out the information from the beginning, we will know that the final revenge of the wronged ghost needs to be reconsidered. So if it is not the revenge of the wronged ghost, then what could it be?

"Nobi Shizuka!"

Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly remembered the name and blurted it out, which startled Yotsuya Miko who was standing next to her. Then Miko suddenly realized and said, "Yukino, are you saying that this incident might be the same as Shizuka's sister's?"

"That's right, didn't Nobi Shizuka obtain mysterious powers and then start revenge? So the death of Makoto Matou could also be the relatives of the girl who committed suicide by jumping off the building. But this time, there was no hesitation at all, and Makoto Matou also jumped off the building and died."

"Huh?" Kasumigaoka Utaha finally realized, "Could it be that it wasn't a ghost seeking revenge, but someone used a mysterious power to make Matou Makoto jump off the building? Could it be someone from that EH chat group who did it?"

This sudden question made the three girls in the service department quiet down instantly. It turned out that the more they knew, the more questions they had.

However, Takahashi Takumi knew more. It was easy to understand whether it was a wronged ghost seeking revenge or someone coming for revenge. However, it was a bit confusing when Shinomiya Kaguya also jumped off the building.

In addition, there is the owl mentioned by Yotsuya Miko that ordinary people cannot see. Takahashi Takumi seems to see a whirlpool in the fog that is about to draw in all the information.

After everyone thought about it, Yukinoshita Yukino was the first to make a suggestion:

"Let's first go check out the rooftop where Makoto Matou jumped from, and also check on the remaining accomplices to see if there are any wronged souls or evil spirits. When we get back tonight, I'll investigate the family situation of the girl who committed suicide by jumping from the building.

This way, whether it's a wronged spirit seeking revenge or someone seeking vengeance, both sides must be investigated, and the information obtained will be analyzed collectively."

After saying that, he looked at Takahashi Takumi, as if he wanted to hear what Takahashi Takumi had to say.

Even if there is one more possibility, it is not complicated. Takahashi Takumi thought of one more possibility, after all, it involves Shinomiya Kaguya. If someone wants to attack Shinomiya Kaguya, considering the Shinomiya Group, it is not something that ordinary people would dare to do.

But should he tell about this situation? Takahashi Takumi looked at Yotsuya Miko and Yukinoshita Yukino and thought, forget it, he had just promised not to hide it the day before yesterday, so it wouldn't matter if he told her.

"Ahem, actually there's one more thing.

Didn't Miko tell me this morning that there was an owl outside the window of the student union that Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't see, so I went over there at noon to take a look, and unexpectedly, I saw Kaguya Shinomiya jumping out of the window. "

Hearing this, the three girls were shocked. Yotsuya Miko was even more nervous and grabbed Takahashi Takumi's hand and asked anxiously:

"Student Council President Kaguya Shinomiya jumped off the building? Was she injured?"

"Don't worry," Takahashi Takumi patted the back of Miko's hand and continued, "With me here, there will be no accidents. I caught her steadily at that time, and Shinomiya Kaguya was not hurt at all.

She didn't know what had happened, but she had already jumped out of the window in a daze. It seems no one else knew about this except the secretary, Fujiwara Chika, and I haven't found the owl either.

What I'm wondering is, is there any connection between Makoto Matou's suicide by jumping off a building and Kaguya Shinomiya's suicide by jumping off a building?"

This made them even more confused. Yukinoshita Yukino pressed her forehead with a headache, but she still analyzed it seriously:

"It can't be such a coincidence. What could have caused Shinomiya Kaguya to suddenly jump off the building? Her identity makes this matter many times more complicated. As the daughter of a nationally renowned conglomerate, it's not surprising that she's being targeted by anyone.

There's a high probability that jumping from the third floor won't kill you, but injuries are inevitable. So it doesn't seem like a threat to Shinomiya Kaguya's life, but more like a warning. If that's the case, I'd have to ask Shinomiya Kaguya herself."

Well, this made them even more confused and there was no progress. However, no matter how many questions they had, they still had to take one step at a time.

In the end, Yukinoshita Yukino decided to go to the rooftop with Yotsuya Miko to see if they could find any traces of the wronged spirit, and then go to the classrooms of Makoto Matou's accomplices. After all, if there really was a wronged spirit coming to claim their lives, they would definitely not let them go.

Originally, Takahashi Takumi was planning to go along, but was rejected by Miko and Yukino, saying that they were only going there for investigation and told Takahashi Takumi to just continue to rest in the club room.

Takahashi Takumi couldn't help but wonder, he was just being a little lazy today, so why did they think he was tired and exhausted? Anyway, there was no danger, so Takahashi Takumi was happy to relax.

In the end, only Takahashi Takumi and Kasumigaoka Utaha were left in the service club.

At this time, Kasumigaoka Utaha did not come up to tease Takumi Takahashi as usual, but sat on a chair and typed frantically in front of her own laptop. The keyboard was clattering like a whirlwind, and looking at her eyes, there were flashes of brilliance. I guess this was the state of overflowing inspiration and thoughts flowing like a spring.

A variety of rumors were circulating among the students at the school. Not only were there rumors about Makoto Matou's death, but there were also growing concerns about the girl involved, and speculation about why the school had chosen to cover up Matou Matou's scandal. For a time, rumors were swirling around the school, and students gathered in groups to discuss the matter.

Outside of school

At this time, inside the Shigong Family, a white-haired old man lay on a large bed, and a bald man stood in front of the bed. No one knew what they were talking about, but finally, the bald man walked out with a serious expression.

Walking to the entrance, he said to a blonde maid beside him, "Are you sure Kaguya didn't jump out of the window because of sleepwalking or other mental problems?"

"I am sure that Miss Kaguya is mentally sound and has no physical problems."

After receiving a clear reply, the bald man's cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket. When he saw the caller ID, he became solemn, and after answering the call, he became furious.

"Humph, damn it!" the bald man suddenly muttered to himself with a ferocious look on his face. "No matter if it was their doing or not, this happened after we broke up this morning. Now they are demonstrating again. I must pay them back double."

Chapter 101 The Student Council President Invites

Golden sun, sunny

Yukinoshita Yukino and Yotsuya Miko walked into the Service Club with dejected looks on their faces, and they lowered their heads embarrassedly when facing Kasumigaoka Utaha's expectant eyes.

Since yesterday afternoon, the school has sealed the entrance to the rooftop, making it impossible to get in. Matou Makoto's accomplices have been confined to their classrooms, daring not to leave during breaks. However, Yotsuya Miko and Yukinoshita Yukino visited their classrooms several times and didn't see any demonic presence inside or outside.
