Shiraishikawa naturally ignored Miss Mary's calls, intending to use the constantly decreasing distance to create psychological pressure.
For an ordinary person, this would undoubtedly be terrifying.
The key is,
as an almost max-level exorcist, possessing an indestructible body fearless of evil spirits, infinite stamina like in H-anime, and purification abilities, he had already prepared in advance.
His current mood was completely unperturbed.
And Mary didn't make Shiraishikawa wait particularly long. With a brief, urgent knock on the door, he didn't even need to use the peephole to check.
A familiar voice came from outside the security door.
The tone of voice sounded like a naive young girl: "Shiraishikawa-kun, are you home? I'm Mary, who called you just now."
But with Mary's appearance,
a distinct chill immediately seeped from outside the door into the room, as if the temperature had dropped significantly in a short time.
Shiraishikawa, of course, didn't care. He decisively got up and opened the security door, but there was no one outside, as if it were a prank.
"I will make you feel immense fear. Be prepared."
A chilling laugh instantly resounded behind Shiraishikawa, but this was no different from what he had expected.
In the urban legend "Mary's Phone Call," the origin was an abandoned doll, an enraged doll full of resentment, who, after a phone call,
would follow the person closely until she appeared behind them.
"..."
With anticipation, Shiraishikawa turned around and saw the target he needed to exorcise tonight: a girl barely 1.4 meters tall, with white hair cascading to her waist.
The girl's azure blue eyes emanated intense resentment.
Especially seeing Mary's exquisite face, which was no different from his impression, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was wearing a white and red princess dress,
and her hair was tied with a dark red rose hairband.
"Hello, Mary."
Since this was his first encounter with an urban legend, Shiraishikawa gave her due respect and greeted her very seriously.
"..."
However,
noticing his attitude, it was Mary's turn to be stunned, because in Shiraishikawa's eyes, she couldn't find any trace of fear.
The power of an urban legend depends on the target's fear of it!
After all, she was a ghost.
She wouldn't let this prey go just because Shiraishikawa wasn't afraid of her. Her slender, pale hand gripped a red umbrella,
wanting to rush over and give this guy a thorough chilling.
But as Mary tried to step forward, the originally unremarkable ground, the exorcism sealing array instantly emitted a holy light, like a cage.
He firmly imprisoned her in place.
Feeling the resentment in her body being dispelled, Mary's princess-like delicate face was filled with a chilling expression: "Are you an Exorcist?"
"No."
"I am a forced Exorcist."
Shiraishi Kawa shook his head, denying it. Regular Exorcists use Purification methods to eliminate ghosts, but the methods he possessed were clearly much more advanced.
"..."
She couldn't tell the difference.
Mary finally understood why Shiraishi Kawa was so fearless after receiving the call, as she looked at the exorcism array that restricted her movement.
It was constantly consuming her own resentment.
If she continued to stay here, she would definitely be Purified by this despicable guy... She knew very well that she was no match for Shiraishi Kawa, so she gathered all her resentment, wanting to break through the array, but found that it was as if she was sealed.
She couldn't control her own actions at all.
The initial arrogance in Mary's eyes was gone, replaced by a barely noticeable fear in the depths of her pupils: "What exactly did you do?"
"Just as I said earlier."
"I am a forced Exorcist, the 'forced' kind."
Ignoring the girl's fearful gaze, Shiraishi Kawa would not relax his guard just because of her innocent appearance.
If an ordinary person had encountered Mary.
It was likely that by now, the other party would already be a corpse. Moreover, he needed to complete a real exorcism to unlock a new profession.
"..."
"Scum! What do you want to do?"
Mary wanted to retreat, but the effect of the exorcism array firmly restricted her movements, so she could only watch Shiraishi Kawa approach.
Her petite body couldn't help but tremble.
"Exorcism."
Although the method of exorcism was a bit perverse, wasn't he also doing good deeds?
Shiraishi Kawa had already prepared himself mentally. He reached out and gently grabbed Mary's slender, fair arm, feeling a cold, soft touch.
It wasn't hard and stiff like a wooden doll.
He slightly lifted her white princess skirt, revealing cute patterned panties. He took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said: "Don't misunderstand."
"I am exorcising."
"Hentai!!"
"No!! It'll break!!"

After returning home, heating up and eating her bento, and then tidying up her room, Izumi Miori finally had some free time and didn't continue painting.
Instead, her mood fell into a brief dilemma. How should she explain to her daughter, Sagiri, about going to Shiraishi Kawa's house to be a nanny?
The rent she saved each month... she could buy so many things she liked, and her diet could also be slightly improved. Moreover, Shiraishi-kun was also a very good boy.
"For Sagiri."
Finally.
Izumi Miori looked at her daughter, who was learning to paint in the room, and said with a gentle smile: "Sagiri, you stay at home."
"I'm going out to run some errands."
"Okay, Mama."
After locking the anti-theft door, she entered the apartment elevator. As she chose to go to the 15th floor, the top floor, Izumi Miori's mood was quite complex.
The elevator ride was very short.
Upon arriving at the top floor, the first thing that caught her eye was the spacious open-air garden, swimming pool, and even a BBQ area.
This area was not open to tenants.
Izumi Miori had no other thoughts. Her purpose for coming to see Shiraishi Kawa tonight was to finalize the cleaning arrangements.
It was just that... as she approached the anti-theft door, the sounds coming from the entrance foyer made even her, a veteran artist in the industry, feel her heart inexplicably race.
A faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
"Hentai!"
"Are you really an Exorcist?"
"..."
"I'm sorry, it's my fault for not satisfying Lord Shiraishi Kawa."
The girl's voice was not muffled, making Izumi Miori's face flush. Staying put was not an option, but leaving like this... This... Well, she never expected that a scene from a manga could actually appear in reality?!
