The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

"Uh, of course it's true."

Judging from Kagura Tsuchimiya's expression, it seems she really has something to ask of me.

However, since Hachiman Hikigaya had just made that boast in front of Komachi, he could only nod reluctantly.

After a brief conversation, Hachiman Hikigaya led Komachi out of the community.

"That's quite unusual, isn't it? You actually going to a friend's house so late at night, and such a far place at that..."

"Because of curiosity."

When Hikigaya Hachiman asked why she went to Tsuchimiya Kagura, Komachi said with some excitement.

"curious?"

"Yeah, because Kagura only recently transferred here from Tokyo! She's super mysterious!"

"You just transferred to Chiba recently?"

Hachiman Hikigaya stopped in his tracks, his heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition flashed through his mind.

"Isn't it strange? Midterms are almost here, and then suddenly she transfers to Chiba, which is farther from home..."

"Komachi..."

Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly interrupted his sister's conversation.

"What's wrong, Onii-chan?"

"You invited me here on purpose tonight, didn't you?"

Turning around, Hachiman Hikigaya looked at Komachi with a helpless expression.

From the moment they met, Komachi kept mentioning Tsuchimiya Kagura and even brought up all sorts of strange things about her.

This sounds like something deliberately said to pique his interest.

"As expected of Onii-chan, he guessed it right away!"

From the very beginning, Komachi had no intention of hiding it. After seeing that Hachiman Hikigaya had guessed correctly, she readily nodded in acknowledgment.

"why?"

If the goal is simply to introduce him to Kagura Tsuchimiya, then just say so directly.

He wouldn't refuse if Komachi asked him to.

Why did Komachi insist on bringing him to Tokyo?

"Because it's rare for a classmate to invite me to her house."

Although she has many friends, since she usually goes straight home after school, this is the first time Komachi has been invited to someone's house since starting junior high school.

"All right"

Upon hearing Komachi's explanation, Hachiman Hikigaya's expression immediately relaxed.

In general, it was because she had to accompany her reclusive older brother that Komachi missed many opportunities to go out with her friends.

After leaving the community, the Hikigaya siblings stood by the roadside, ready to hail a taxi home.

Whether it was fate or not, when the taxi pulled over in front of them, Hachiman Hikigaya immediately recognized it as the same driver from before.

Similarly, the driver also recognized Hachiman Hikigaya.

Looking at Komachi beside him, the driver opened his mouth, and a knowing look appeared on his face.

"This is my sister!"

Because they had chatted the whole way, the two were no longer strangers.

Seeing that the driver had misunderstood the truth, Hachiman Hikigaya quickly explained.

He certainly doesn't want to become one of the characters a future driver tells other passengers about!

"Oh, I see..."

Upon learning that the two were siblings, the driver showed a visibly disappointed expression.

It's such a shame, considering he had already imagined a whole scenario of a high school boy traveling between two cities late at night just to see his girlfriend.

Did it eventually turn into a touching family story?

Anyway, sir, you'd better hurry up and drive!

Hachiman Hikigaya had no desire to know what the driver had been disappointed about.

After getting Komachi into the back seat of the car, he urged the driver to leave quickly.

"Don't worry, with my years of driving experience, I'll be able to get you home in no time."

Although he didn't get the gossip he had imagined, the driver still upheld his professional ethics.

A beautiful backward turn and drift.

The taxi sped off towards Chiba on the empty, unmonitored road.

"What a coincidence that we're here today..."

As soon as we got on the highway, the driver's old problem resurfaced.

Suddenly, a flame appeared ahead of the road, and the driver's words came to an abrupt halt.

"What happened in front?"

Looking at the firelight, Hachiman Hikigaya asked in confusion.

"I don't know, but let's be careful anyway."

As he spoke, the driver slowed down to observe the situation.

Soon, the taxi arrived at the source of the fire.

Those were the flames from the two cars that collided and caught fire!

"Hello, I need to call the police..."

Without the slightest hesitation, the driver immediately dialed the number and informed the police of the situation.

He then stopped the taxi in a safe location, opened the door, and prepared to go over to check the situation.

"Hey, that's dangerous!"

Seeing the flames on the two cars, Hachiman Hikigaya raised an eyebrow and reminded the driver that what he was about to do was extremely dangerous.

"What if there's still someone inside the car?"

However, the driver was unmoved by Hachiman Hikigaya's words and ran quickly toward the accident site.

Watching the driver's retreating figure, Hachiman Hikigaya gritted his teeth, told Komachi to wait obediently in the car, and then got out of the car to chase after the driver.

Chapter 116 The Evil Spirits of Tokyo

What are you doing here? It's dangerous!

Seeing Hachiman Hikigaya catching up from behind, the driver frowned after a brief moment of surprise at his speed.

"Since there's danger, let's hurry up and rescue them before leaving."

With the blessing of spiritual power, Hachiman Hikigaya possesses the ability of night vision.

From a distance, he could see the unconscious figure in one of the cars.

What's puzzling is that, despite two cars being involved in the accident, there was only one driver.

"Was the other one thrown out?"

Looking at the blurry figures in the car, Hachiman Hikigaya thought to himself.

It seems that after rescuing the person, he will need to search the area around the highway again.

While thinking this, Hachiman Hikigaya and the driver arrived at the side of the wrecked car at the same time.

Grasping the car door handle, and to the driver's astonishment, Hachiman Hikigaya ripped the car door off.

"What are you standing there for? Come and help!"

Hachiman Hikigaya casually tossed the car door aside and, seeing the driver beside him with his mouth agape, urged him on.

With the combined efforts of the two men, the unconscious man trapped in the driver's seat was lifted out.

"Only one person?"

With the man hoisted onto his shoulders, the driver looked toward another car, only to find that there was no one inside.

"No, let's go quickly..."

The car beside them was clearly starting to malfunction, so Hachiman Hikigaya silently used his spiritual power to envelop the three of them while pushing the driver away.

"call!"

Just then, the flames that were burning on the car suddenly shot into the air, trapping the three of them in a narrow space.

"this...."

The driver, staring at the flames before him, had barely opened his mouth when he was knocked unconscious by a single blow from Hachiman Hikigaya.

"I can run into an evil spirit even while saving someone, my luck is just unbelievable..."

Looking at the two unconscious people lying on the ground, Hachiman Hikigaya shook his head, then looked up at the surrounding flames.

It could affect reality, but the system didn't even issue a warning sound.

It seems this is just a high-level evil spirit.

"Roar!"

Just as Hachiman Hikigaya was pondering, the ring of fire surrounding him changed once again.

With a low roar, the flames regrouped and then coalesced into a lizard-like creature.

"boom!"

The monster stepped on the road and actually created a hole in the surface.

"Could a high-level evil spirit have this much influence?"
