The Exorcism Story of Hikigaya Hachiman

Chapter 57: The Unique-Thoughted Evil Spirit and the Request for Help

As one of Chiba's only ten general-class evil spirits, Otani Kazuki lived a quite comfortable life on an everyday basis.

As a special-grade evil spirit, his body was completely indistinguishable from that of a normal human.

Because of this, Otani Kazuki spent all his time indulging in various luxurious experiences he could never have enjoyed while alive.

However, such an extraordinarily enjoyable life suddenly came to an abrupt halt today.

At midnight, just as he was exchanging life insights with three truly exquisite beauties, his subordinate suddenly reported that one of his special-grade evil spirits had been taken out!

Upon hearing the news, he angrily devoured the three beauties he was just intimately talking with.

But as soon as they entered his stomach, Otani Kazuki immediately regretted it.

Those three were painstakingly gathered by him over a long time. Now, in his frustration, he would have to collect more again.

To avoid spending the night lonely and also to satisfy his particular fetish, Otani Kazuki set his sights on the prestigious Yukinoshita family of Chiba. After all, even the strongest noble family could be easily dealt with through simple manipulation.

And things went exactly as Otani Kazuki expected. After directly bewitching Lady Yukinoshita's mind, she didn't even need his urging and took the initiative to host a banquet to select a suitor for her daughter.

Of course, the target candidate was already predetermined. With Otani Kazuki involved, did Lady Yukinoshita have any say in choosing someone else?

Thinking of how after the banquet he could immediately toy with that pure-looking icy maiden, Otani Kazuki's heart stirred with excitement.

As for investigating the cause of death of his subordinate special-grade evil spirit? What was there to investigate? It was simply because it ate too many humans and got taken out by an exorcist among them.

Otani Kazuki just couldn't understand why other evil spirits insisted on devouring humans so often. Why not occasionally eat a few truly wicked ones to fill the stomach, and then enjoy a high-quality life using their powers?

While Otani Kazuki was lost in such thoughts, a commotion suddenly arose among the crowd. Soon, amidst exclamations, Lady Yukinoshita and her two daughters entered through the door.

Otani Kazuki narrowed his eyes, watching the three approach him, and suddenly his mind sparked with an idea.

Originally, his target for tonight was only Yukinoshita Yukino.

But after seeing the mother and her two daughters, he came up with a wonderful idea—and planned to make it a reality.

"This is Mr. Otani…" Lady Yukinoshita had no idea what Otani Kazuki was thinking at the moment; otherwise, she would probably have lost her temper and called the bodyguards to beat this audacious fellow and throw him out on the spot.

Unfortunately, Otani Kazuki was not human, and Lady Yukinoshita was already under his control.

Therefore, facing Otani Kazuki's aggressive gaze, Lady Yukinoshita was not angry at all; on the contrary, she smiled as she introduced him to her two daughters.

Unlike their controlled mother, Haruno and Yukino immediately frowned when they noticed Otani Kazuki's gaze and grew curious about his identity.

They both thought their mother was suppressing her anger by force because of Otani Kazuki's presence and was just pretending everything was normal.

"Mr. Otani, these are my two daughters…" After briefly explaining Otani Kazuki's identity to her daughters, Lady Yukinoshita was about to recommend Otani Kazuki shift his target to Haruno instead.

Because, no matter how you look at it, Yukino was just too young.

Moreover, given Yukino's personality, she couldn't resist Otani Kazuki at all.

On the contrary, if it were the elder daughter, Lady Yukinoshita was confident that Haruno would handle Otani Kazuki and secure benefits for the Yukinoshita family.

"No need!" Otani Kazuki raised his hand to interrupt Lady Yukinoshita. He was not here to listen to her nonsense. If he really wanted information, he could take his time learning it later with the four of them.

Just as Otani Kazuki was glaring aggressively at the Yukinoshita mother and daughters, Hikigaya Hachiman received another message.

But this time, the message was not sent to his phone.

"Host, come quickly!"

Seeing the clearly expressed plea for help on the panel, Hikigaya Hachiman hesitated about whether he should go help.

But then he thought that someone in another world might be in danger and urgently need his assistance...

In the end, Hikigaya Hachiman agreed to the support request.

"Dear new host, you finally agreed!" Just after he clicked confirm, the long-unheard voice of the intelligent system appeared in Hikigaya Hachiman's mind.

Then, a black vortex appeared before him, followed by the system urging him to step into it quickly.

"Wait, I want to confirm a few things…" Looking at the mysterious black vortex, Hikigaya Hachiman felt no fear; instead, he calmly wanted to ask some questions.

"During support, time in your world will be frozen!" "After the support mission is completed, with your consent, I will immediately send you back to your original world. Of course, the teleport location might be slightly off, but definitely in Chiba!" "Upon completing the rescue, the system will reward you with 10,000 spirit coins!"

"Host, any other questions? If not, hurry and come help!" "Uh, no more…" Before Hikigaya Hachiman could ask, the system answered all his potential questions in one go.

Feeling a bit awkward, he stepped into the vortex.

"So what do you want me to do?"

After entering the vortex, Hikigaya Hachiman vaguely felt himself traveling through a strange passage. To avoid confusion upon arriving in the other world, he started asking the system what his mission was.

"Ah, you just need to hold off a demon with power equivalent to a king-level for three hours." Hearing his question, the intelligent system answered with an embarrassed tone.

"Send me back!" Without hesitation, after hearing the system's words, Hikigaya Hachiman immediately expressionlessly demanded to return.

What a joke!

He had only just defeated a special-grade evil spirit with the help of a bracelet, and now this dumb system wanted him to hold off a king-level evil spirit for three hours—was it trying to get him killed?!

"Don't! It's just three hours, you can definitely do it! And you have helpers!" Hearing Hikigaya Hachiman's retreat request, the system panicked.

Without his help, the current host's body definitely wouldn't last till dawn.

If that happened, the entire world line would collapse and reboot.

The system couldn't afford such a consequence.
