The violent actions just now will almost become a lifelong trauma for her; the rampaging Holy Sword Curry Stick almost broke her...
Gone was her initial aggressive tone; her voice was trembling with tears: "Exorcist, the resentment within me has been completely cleansed. May I ask..."
"Can I leave now?"
"Wait until you leave, then use your resentment to strengthen yourself, and then seek revenge on me once you've regained your strength?"
That's how the plot unfolds in the original work.
Logically speaking, if Shiraishikawa encountered a lowly creature like a goblin and his body was still relatively intact, he would have finished him off. As for Hanako-chan from the urban legend...
You can vaguely see the first flow of blood.
Using the methods of the "Holy Sword Wielder" to completely eliminate future troubles would definitely not be a problem. The key is that he can't do that.
"..."
With her deepest thoughts exposed, Hanako Hiraki didn't even dare to focus her gaze, quickly shaking her head in denial. If the forced exorcism continued, her mind would collapse!
Or, dying at the hands of Shiraishikawa could be a kind of relief?
She slowly closed her eyes, never expecting that becoming an urban legend would actually lead to her graduating smoothly, and it seemed she had no other regrets...
only.
The ending that Hiraki Hanako had envisioned did not come.
Instead, feeling the intense heat and being gently embraced by arms around her legs and waist, she opened her eyes again and carefully examined Shiraishi Chuan's handsome face.
"Although I don't know what you've been through."
"But it must be so boring to live as an urban legend with this lingering resentment. Have you ever considered changing your life?"
Shiraishikawa said casually, draping his coat over Hiraki Hanako's shoulders. "It's a bit tacky to be a superhuman and still have to follow worldly customs."
Even if it's just an urban legend.
He wanted it all too!
"Ok?"
Completely unprepared for Shiraishikawa's attitude, Hiraki Hanako clutched her coat with both hands, her deep resentment gradually dissipating.
But a moment later, her smile turned somewhat self-deprecating.
"Na."
"Lord Shiraishikawa, I am just a demon who will never see the sunlight. What you are saying is something I dare not even think about."
"But what if I had a way to help you change?"

Having truly completed the exorcism, Shiraishikawa did not linger in the abandoned dormitory building but chose to return to the apartment building, accompanied by a girl wearing a coat and a red pleated skirt.
The boy walked in front.
The girl followed silently behind with her head down.
She didn't speak first, but Shiraishi Chuan didn't seem to mind and said in a relaxed tone, "My house is quite big. If you don't want to live together, I can take you to rent an apartment."
"If you're not used to living in a house, I'll build you a women's restroom?"
"..."
Hanako Hiraki's expression froze. She really wanted to muster up the courage to say "thank you," even though it was an urban legend, but more like the kind of interest that comes with being a bound spirit.
Unable to leave the women's restroom.
But that doesn't mean she doesn't want to live a normal ghost's life. Being able to leave the women's restroom now is already beyond her expectations.
Perhaps life really can be changed because of Shiraishikawa?
......
Return to the apartment building.
Shiraishikawa settled Hiraki Hanako in a vacant rented room, and after taking care of dinner, he would consider how to make specific arrangements for her.
Perhaps if we let her meet Mary, the rest of the operation will go much more smoothly.
Pushing open the security door, there were still indoor shoes laid out in advance. Izumi Miori and Sagiri had already arrived, and the mother and daughter were preparing rice bowls.
He could smell a rich aroma coming from the entrance hall.
And right now.
The familiar notification sound echoed in Shiraishikawa's mind once again.
"Ding!"
"Current Dimensional Chat Group Members: 10. Chat Group Check-in and Points Redemption System are now open."
"no..."
"I was just removing the diaper, how come there are so many people in the chat group!"
Chapter 21: Familiar Faces in the Chat Group, Hanako-chan Takes the Initiative!
"Shiraishi-kun, you're back."
As she brought the pre-prepared meal to the table, Izumi Miori looked tenderly at the figure in the doorway—this was 'family' life.
It was something she had never imagined.
She works in a field she loves and is passionate about, her daughter Sagiri grows up healthy and carefree, and then her husband returns home in the evening after finishing work.
now
Even though the person playing the role of the husband is a high school student, Izumi Miori feels a deep sense of guilt just thinking about it.
But more often than not, it's an emotion that's hard to put into words.
"Yes, we've finally got everything sorted out."
As for the specific details of what happened, Shiraishikawa certainly wouldn't tell Izumi Miori about helping the JK girl forcibly remove the resentment from her body.
Something just doesn't sound right!
Moreover, ghosts and monsters are still too far removed from the lives of ordinary people, so there is no need to inform them. He turned his gaze to the sumptuous meal on the table.
Seared salmon sashimi, Mapo tofu rice bowl (not particularly appealing in appearance), stir-fried asparagus, and pork bone and kelp soup.
I can tell.
Aunt Hequan has indeed put a lot of effort into preparing meals, learning relatively easy-to-make Sichuan cuisine dishes like Mapo Tofu.
However, in terms of appearance...
All Shiraishi could say was that his intentions were commendable.
You absolutely can't dampen the enthusiasm of a young married woman, so he said with a smile, "Auntie, did you prepare this Mapo Tofu especially for her? It smells delicious."
"It smells even better than any Chinese restaurant I've ever been to!"
"Really...really?"
Miori Izumi's originally calm face showed surprise upon hearing these words, with a secret joy of being affirmed constantly emerging in her eyes.
He bent down and scooped up the Mapo Tofu with a spoon.
She took a quick bite, then looked at the boy sitting opposite her again, a charming smile on her face. She had naturally been to the Chinese restaurants outside, and as for the taste...
It's not as good as they say!
She clearly just wanted to make herself happy, but for some reason, Izumi Miori felt as sweet as if she were eating honey.
"Let's move!"
#
Wait until Izumi Miori cleans the kitchen.
It was just past 7 p.m.
The new features launched in the dimensional chat group include daily check-ins to earn points, random rewards, and the addition of up to 10 members.
This is a notification of an established fact.
Shiraishikawa didn't pay much attention. Anyway, there was a group chat record, and it was still early. He needed to finish dealing with Hiraki Hanako's matter first, so he took Mary with him.
They arrived at the rented room where she was temporarily staying.
Since she always carries a key, she doesn't need to knock at all. After her resentment was purified, Hanako-chan's personality also changed drastically.
There was no longer any initial resentment or murderous intent.
They noticed Shiraishikawa's arrival.
She didn't have time to put on her shoes and came to the entrance barefoot. When she saw the familiar figure, she controlled her emotions very well.
"Hanako, you two probably don't need me to introduce you, right?"
Unable to block Mary behind him, Shiraishi entered the rented room on his own, leaving the time for these two urban legends to catch up.
The sofa in the rented room was fairly clean.
When he had some free time, he promptly opened the dimensional chat group. As new members joined one after another, the chat atmosphere became much more lively.
Shiraishikawa, who habitually peeks into chat logs, didn't even have a chance to look through the messages before being directly criticized by a certain goddess of wisdom...
Saeko Busujima: I never imagined that another world actually existed. We are just an ordinary modern society here.
Aqua: Of course! Although the world I live in is terrible, there's no sparkling wine, and I have to work to eat and stay in hotels! Ugh! Damn high school student!
Ordinary high school student: ?
Mai Sakurajima: Please don't make sweeping generalizations!
Aqua: I wasn't talking about you guys! Hey, I was talking about that shut-in NEET who brought me to this other world!
Gabriel: Do you have a prejudice against shut-ins?
Asuna: Cough cough...
"Why are they all acquaintances?"
