The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

"As expected, I still can't bring myself to bring a senior home!"

The iridescent feathers let out a mournful cry.

The first boy I bring home should be someone I like. How can it be ruined because of that wicked spirit?

"Excuse me, may I ask why I want to go to your house?"

Hearing Isshiki Hachiman's words, it was now Hachiman Hikigaya's turn to be confused.

"Senior, can't you enter my dream after I've fallen asleep?"

"In that case, I'll have to take you to my room, senpai, right?"

"No, there's absolutely no need to go to your house, is there? Can't you sleep anywhere else?"

Hachiman Hikigaya shook his head, interrupting Iroha Isshiki.

He just needs to fall asleep with Iroha Iroha and then enter her dream by her side, why does he have to go to her house?

"But I'm not a good sleeper in a new bed; I can't sleep anywhere else..."

When asked about the reason, Isshiki Hachiman blushed.

Well, after hearing the reason given by Iroha Isshiki, Hachiman Hikigaya fell silent.

It seems that to get rid of the evil spirit in Iroha Isshiki's dream, he has to go to Iroha Isshiki's room.

"So, senior, you have no other options?"

Seeing Hachiman Hikigaya's troubled expression, Iroha Isshiki bit her lip and asked.

She knew she was going too far; even though Hachiman Hikigaya had offered a solution, she was still dissatisfied.

But falling asleep in front of a strange boy...

"No, but if you're willing to wait a while, there might be other ways."

Hachiman Hikigaya has already spent 3000 spirit coins, and now his remaining balance is only enough to buy one pill to increase his spiritual power.

If Yotsuya Miko's spirit-summoning ability is strong recently, Isshiki Hatake might be able to hold out until he saves up 10000 spirit coins again.

"How can we wait for something like this..."

Iroha pouted and stomped her feet.

It's only been three days since that evil spirit appeared. She might even be caught by it in her dream tonight. How could she possibly keep waiting?

"Well, at this point, we have no choice but to trust your character, senior..."

Gritting her teeth, Isshiki Iroha made up her mind.

Chapter 102 The three members of the Service Club were all very happy today.

"So what did you talk about with her?"

When Hachiman Hikigaya returned to the classroom alone and just sat down in his seat...

Yukinoshita, who had been looking down at her book, suddenly closed it, looked up, and stared directly into his eyes, asking about the conversation between Hachiman Hikigaya and Iroha Isshiki.

"Of course, I'm not curious about what's going on between you and her."

"This is simply out of the minister's concern for his staff."

"After all, Isshiki-kun seems... very easy to take advantage of?"

When I mentioned Isshiki Hachiman, Yukino Yukinoshita frowned.

She didn't have a very good impression of that girl.

Although she appears innocent and cute, she actually seems like the kind of girl who's good at playing tricks.

She especially disliked the way he acted like a familiar friend and joked around with guys when they were strangers.

"Aren't we the Service Department? Actually, she came to ask me for help."

I've been living with Yukinoshita for a while now.

Before returning to the classroom, Hachiman Hikigaya had already anticipated that she would ask him briefly what he and Iroha Isshiki had talked about outside.

Therefore, before returning, Hachiman Hikigaya had already come up with an excuse.

"help?"

As expected, Yukinoshita showed a knowing look on her face after hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's explanation.

Then he immediately came up with a bunch of reasons in his mind why Iroha only sought help from Hachiman Hikigaya, who was a man.

"Well, although the purpose of the Service Club is to help others, it doesn't mean we have to accept every request."

After realizing that Isshiki Iroha and Hachiman Hikigaya were simply a client and a client, Yukino Yukinoshita nodded in satisfaction, then lowered her head again to focus her attention on the book in her hands.

"Ugh, I'm so bored..."

From the very beginning, Yui Yuigahama sat quietly next to Yukino Yukinoshita, listening to their conversation.

When their conversation ended, she was disappointed to find that she couldn't join in at all.

"Yuigahama-san, if you're feeling bored, why not bring a book with you next time you come to club activities? That way you can pass the time and also enrich your mind..."

Upon hearing Yui Yuigahama's words, Yukinoshita showed a hint of helplessness on her face.

However, since Yuihama has already filled out the application form and become one of her members, Yukinoshita can't just leave her alone.

Therefore, Yukinoshita patted the empty space next to her, indicating to Yuigahama Yui to move the stool over and read the book in her hands with her.

"Hey, is it really possible?!"

Upon receiving Yukinoshita's signal, Yui Yuigahama's eyes lit up instantly.

After receiving an affirmative answer, she immediately lifted her stool and placed it next to Yukinoshita, then hugged Yukinoshita's arm affectionately and laughed happily.

"As expected, Xiaoxue is so gentle..."

"Um, Yuihama-san, please call me by my name, and you're standing too close..."

Originally, Yukino Yukinoshita only wanted Yui Yuigahama to lean on her side and read books together.

In her mind, the two of them would at most just touch heads together.

Who would have thought that Yui Yuigahama would immediately grab her arm and call her by such an intimate name as Yuki...

"Eh, is that not allowed?"

Upon hearing that Yukino Yukinoshita forbade her from calling her "Yukino," Yui Yuigahama immediately looked up and stared at her with a pitiful expression.

"...Whatever you want..."

Yukinoshita, who was about to give a definite answer, suddenly softened her heart after seeing Yui's pitiful appearance.

After letting out a soft sigh, she placed her free hand on her forehead, a hint of helplessness on her face.

"So, Yukinoshita's weakness is a girl with Yuihama's personality?"

Although Hachiman Hikigaya appears to be engrossed in reading, his attention is actually focused on the other two people in the classroom.

After witnessing firsthand how Yuigahama Yui rendered the proud Yukinoshita helpless, a sudden realization dawned on him.

If he were to argue with Yukinoshita again in the future, would he be guaranteed to win if he dragged Yuihama into it?

"Ah, right, right!"

Suddenly, Yui Yuigahama, who had been holding onto Yukinoshita's arm, let go of her hand and started rummaging through her schoolbag.

?

Upon hearing Yuihama's words, Hachiman Hikigaya and Yukino Yukinoshita both looked up at her schoolbag.

"Because Xiaoxue didn't come last Friday, I made a few more servings last night..."

As she spoke, Yui Yuigahama took out two heart-shaped cookies wrapped in transparent plastic bags from her schoolbag and handed them to the two people whose expressions suddenly changed.

"Thank you for your kindness, Yuihama-san..."

Looking at the cookies in her hand, Yukinoshita forced herself to remain calm and put them away.

Meanwhile, on Hachiman Hikigaya's side....

"Didn't I already receive one before?"

Looking at the cookies in his hand, which were noticeably darker than those from last Friday, Hachiman Hikigaya raised his head and asked Yui Yuigahama with a twitching expression.

"Since it's from Hihihama-san, it's best to accept it with gratitude, Hikigaya-san~"

Before Yui Yuigahama could explain why, Yukino Yukinoshita had already spoken up, ready to use her overwhelming power to force Hachiman Hikigaya to accept the biscuit.

"This guy....."

Hachiman Hikigaya exchanged a glance with Yukinoshita and clearly noticed the schadenfreude in her eyes.

Is this what they mean by taking someone down with you before you die?

Hachiman Hikigaya thought to himself, but in the end he put the cookies away.

After all, although the cookies were a bit unpalatable, they were indeed a token of Yui Yuigahama's goodwill.

This is something you have to finish, even if it brings tears to your eyes!

"Excuse me, may I interrupt..."

Just as Yui Yuigahama finished distributing the cookies and was about to sit down to continue her intimate duo queue with Yukinoshita, Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly opened the door and walked in.

"Ms. Hiratsuka, didn't I tell you? Please knock before coming in..."

Seeing that Hiratsuka Shizuka had come in directly and then greeted her, Yukino Yukinoshita sighed and looked at her with a resentful gaze.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I really had something come up this time. I'll be more careful next time!"

With a toothpick dangling from her mouth, Hiratsuka Shizuka laughed to smooth things over before looking around the classroom.

My gaze first passed over Hachiman Hikigaya.

Hachiman Hikigaya said he was not flustered at all.

After all, he didn't do anything illegal today.

As expected, Hiratsuka Shizuka's gaze only lingered on him for a moment before shifting to Yuigahama Yui, who was sitting upright.
