The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

The evil spirit, completely oblivious to the car's presence, looked at Yotsuya Miko, whom it had tightly bound, with a mocking expression: "So you're still confident you'll be alright?"

"Of course!"

Miko Yotsuya, who had been somewhat nervous, suddenly showed a relaxed expression.

She raised her head and looked calmly at the evil spirits in front of her: "You can't hurt me!"

"Oh? I don't know what your reason is for being so arrogant, but I'll prove you wrong in no time!"

Having said that, the three-headed evil spirit no longer hesitated, its three gaping maws opening in front of Yotsuya Miko, ready to bite down on her head.

"Sorry, you might be wrong this time."

Just then, Hachiman Hikigaya's voice came from behind the evil spirit.

"what?!"

The fact that it encountered a second human who could see it within a short period of time gave the evil spirit a bad feeling.

Her unease intensified, especially when she recalled Yotsuya Miko's calm expression, so different from when the other three were discovered.

Looking at the evil spirit on Miko Yotsuya, Hachiman Hikigaya remained silent.

While Yotsuya Miko was distracting him, he had already positioned himself behind the evil spirit.

In order not to disturb the other ordinary passengers on the bus, Hachiman Hikigaya did not take out his demon-slaying sword. Instead, he simply covered his hands with his spiritual power and pulled the evil spirit down onto the bus.

"An exorcist?!"

The moment Hachiman Hikigaya grabbed his body, the evil spirit screamed.

It twisted and struggled desperately, trying to break free from Hachiman Hikigaya's restraints.

Seeing that it couldn't break free, it opened its mouth with a fierce glint in its six eyes and lunged at Hachiman Hikigaya.

"Shou!"

A golden magic circle instantly appeared in front of the evil spirit.

The evil spirit's mouth gnawed at the magic circle, instantly sending up billowing black smoke.

After letting out a scream, the evil spirit released its grip and looked at the magic circle with apprehension, before being helplessly dragged off the bus by Hachiman Hikigaya.

"That scared me to death..."

Miko Yotsuya followed closely behind Hachiman Hikigaya as she got off the bus.

Once her feet were firmly on the ground again, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, then grabbed Hachiman Hikigaya's sleeve and showed a frightened expression.

If Hachiman Hikigaya hadn't arrived in time, she really would have been eaten by the evil spirit!

Chapter 82 The Rampaging Evil Spirit

"Are you OK?"

Although it was clear to the naked eye that Yotsuya Miko hadn't experienced anything other than a bit of fright.

But some necessary greetings still need to be said.

"It's alright, it's because you showed up just in time..."

Shaking her head, Yotsuya Miko looked at Hikigaya Hachiman, a smile she couldn't hide on her face.

It feels so good to be able to get to him in time no matter where you are whenever you ask for help.

"I...."

Just as Hachiman Hikigaya was about to say something, the evil spirit in his hand started to move around restlessly.

"Let's find a quiet place first..."

Miko Yotsuya, who could also see evil spirits, looked at the evil spirit that was struggling to break free from Hachiman Hikigaya's grasp, and immediately suggested that they find a quiet place first.

Hachiman Hikigaya nodded in agreement, but then looked at the crowd of people on the street and became troubled again.

In such a crowded place, it's probably not easy to find a quiet spot.

"Leave this to me!"

Seeing the troubled look on Hachiman Hikigaya's face, Miko Yotsuya volunteered to find a suitable place.

Unlike Hachiman Hikigaya, Miko Yotsuya prefers to stay at home, but her friend Hana Yurikawa is someone who can't sit still.

Almost every weekend, Yurikawa would drag Yotsuya Miko out of her room to go shopping.

Therefore, Yotsuya Miko was quite familiar with the surrounding area.

So, after a few seconds of brief thought, Yotsuya Miko led Hikigaya Hachiman directly to a karaoke bar in the square.

As soon as he entered the karaoke bar, the noisy sounds reached Hachiman Hikigaya's ears.

Faced with such a noisy scene, Hachiman Hikigaya, who always preferred quiet, couldn't help but frown.

"Over here..."

Yotsuya Miko also disliked this noisy environment.

The evil spirit in Hachiman Hikigaya's hands is so special that they need a closed space to interrogate it.

After randomly selecting a private room at the front desk, the two followed the numbered signs in the corridor to find the room and went inside.

Go inside, close the door...

The noise was immediately shut out by the gate.

It's clear that this KTV has put a lot of effort into soundproofing the rooms so that customers can do whatever they want in their private rooms.

After checking the private room and finding no hidden cameras, Hachiman Hikigaya looked at the evil spirit in his hand that was trying to escape with ill intent.

Hachiman Hikigaya decisively summoned his demon-slaying sword, preparing to end the evil spirit's life, but Miko Yotsuya suddenly reached out and stopped him.

"what happened?"

'I have some questions I'd like to ask it...'

As she spoke, Yotsuya Miko turned around and looked seriously at the evil spirit that was firmly trapped in Hikigaya Hachiman's hand by the spell "Guard".

"You want to ask me a question?"

Upon hearing Miko Yotsuya's words, not only was Hachiman Hikigaya stunned, but even the evil spirits who were doing useless work were dumbfounded.

How could a human even have the idea of ​​asking a demon a question? Has this woman suddenly lost her mind, or does she think it's stupid?

Do you have any methods for interrogating evil spirits?

Ignoring the evil spirit's strange gaze, Yotsuya Miko carefully examined the evil spirit before turning to Hikigaya Hachiman for help.

"How could something like that exist...? I think it does exist, right?"

When he heard Yotsuya Miko's question, Hikigaya Hachiman originally wanted to refuse outright.

After all, how could such tools or methods for interrogating evil spirits possibly exist in this world?

But when he looked up at his screen, he suddenly remembered his all-powerful system shop.

Open the system shop panel and search for items for interrogating evil spirits...

As Hachiman Hikigaya looked at the panel filled with over a thousand different items, his lips twitched involuntarily.

It just goes to show that the world is full of wonders, and even ghosts can't escape torture...

After spending 3000 spirit coins at the shop to exchange for a spell called 'Burning Flames,' which is specifically designed to torture spirits, a ball of ghostly fire immediately appeared in Hachiman Hikigaya's palm.

Upon seeing the ghostly flame in Hachiman Hikigaya's hand, the evil spirit that had been yelling at the two of them to either kill it or release it immediately shut its three mouths.

"Actually, asking questions isn't something that can't be discussed..."

"........."

They exchanged a silent glance, both reading the speechlessness in each other's eyes.

Such evil spirits, driven by their own hearts, are truly a disgrace to the realm of evil spirits!

Have you ever met someone like me who can see evil spirits?

Yotsuya Miko seized the opportunity and began questioning the evil spirit for the information she wanted.

"That's right! Once you've advanced to a Special Grade Evil Spirit, the King will summon us once and tell us that newly promoted Evil Spirits must do everything in their power to eliminate any human who can see them..."

The three-headed evil spirit initially wanted to refuse to answer Yotsuya Miko's question.

But when it saw the inconspicuous wisp of ghostly fire in Hachiman Hikigaya's hand, it instantly changed its mind.

Although the final outcome is death, it is clearer about the difference between dying a quick and painless death and dying a difficult death after being tortured.

Why target those of us who can see evil spirits?

Upon hearing the evil spirit's answer, Yotsuya Miko quickly pressed for more details.

"You already have exorcists around you, don't you understand why?"

The evil spirit raised its head in surprise, but it wasn't looking at Yotsuya Miko who had asked the question; instead, it was looking at Hikigaya Hachiman behind her.

Especially when it saw the blank look in Yotsuya Miko's eyes after hearing its words, it suddenly understood.

"I see, I see... You're not a certified exorcist..."

As they spoke, the evil spirit's body suddenly began to swell.

"What do you mean?"

Seeing the sudden change in the evil spirit, Yotsuya Miko wanted to continue asking questions, but Hikigaya Hachiman pulled her behind him and looked at the evil spirit's changes with a solemn expression.

"These wild exorcists must be eliminated immediately..."

The evil spirit muttered to itself, casually twisting its bloated body, and the magic circle binding its surface shattered instantly.

Then it stretched out its neck and its three heads lunged at Hachiman Hikigaya.

"Spiritual Flow!"

Facing the charging evil spirit, Hachiman Hikigaya raised his hand and unleashed a Spirit Stream Technique.

The immense power of the spiritual energy instantly shattered one of the heads it struck into pieces.

The remaining two heads showed no fear and charged straight at him.
