Chapter 4: Your resentment is relatively loose, but my strength just fills it.
"Your skill 'Adamantine Body' gained experience +1500 (Lv4 → Lv5)"
"Your skill 'Energy' gained experience +1500 (Lv2 → Lv4)"
"Your skill 'Purification' gained experience +1500 (Lv1 → Lv3)"
"You successfully performed an exorcism on the urban legend 'Miss Mary', Exorcist level increased → Lv5, blank profession panel unlocked."
As the exorcism ritual ended, skill upgrade prompts popped up before Shiraishi Kawa's eyes. The Adamantine Body, which was invincible against ghosts, successfully reached max level.
However, this skill upgrade did not bring about any substantial changes to his body.
If there was any change, it was that with the increase in 'Energy' level, even in an empty stomach state, what was lost from Mary just now... significantly improved!
"..."
After pulling up his pants, Shiraishi Kawa looked at Mary lying on the wooden floor. Her white princess dress was casually tossed aside, and the light shone on her fair body.
Perhaps due to excessive force, Mary's arm, which he had grabbed, was a bit red.
After two hours of continuous forced Purification, the female ghost Mary, whose resentment had been completely eliminated, was in a state of blurred consciousness.
Her perfectly fair little legs struggled to close.
"This exorcism was very successful, but your resentment is quite strong, and my forced Purification can only remove a part of it, so you still cannot leave."
"You must wait until everything is completely cleaned before I can let you go."
Shiraishi Kawa would definitely not let go of this perfect human-shaped Fiji cup so easily. The main reason was that his Energy and Purification skills were not yet maxed out.
He had finally unlocked a transcendent profession.
He had to learn all the skills!
"..."
"Lord Shiraishi Kawa, I... I apologize for not satisfying you. I will definitely not harm anyone else again. Please, can you let me go?"
Hearing Shiraishi Kawa's words, Mary, who was originally lying on the floor, struggled to get up, but found her body completely exhausted.
She no longer had her initial appearance.
Instead, she was as pitiful as a wounded little rabbit, hoping that the demonic Exorcist, Shiraishi Kawa, would let her go.
"No."
"..."
Her suggestion was mercilessly rejected, and Mary's clear eyes, which had been Purified, were filled with despair: "Then, Lord Shiraishi Kawa."
"When exorcising... can you not be so violent?"
"Of course, no problem."
Shiraishi Kawa was still in a good mood tonight. He had finally maxed out his Exorcist profession level.
Unlocking a new profession panel!
His originally peaceful slice-of-life anime routine, after encountering Yotsuya Miko, awakened a transcendent profession. Although this profession could only target ghosts wandering the city.
But no matter what... it was considered gaining a transcendent profession. The Energy skill was very useful in real life. If he were to meet Pao Jie later, perhaps he could truly step into the transcendent realm?
"Pick a room to live in."
"If you want to leave temporarily, you need to get permission, and remember to clean up... If you don't understand anything, you can come and ask me."
An urban legend that had lost its resentment posed no threat to him, who possessed the max-level Adamantine Body skill.
Looking at Mary, who was holding her princess dress and leaning against the wall as if she had lost her dreams, it seemed there was no need for her to clean up. After all, the suction just now... was almost like a spring breeze spirit, not a single drop leaked out!
Shiraishi Kawa glanced at the white-haired girl in front of him: "I'm going to prepare dinner. If you're interested in human food, you can come to the living room to find me."

After completing the forced exorcism, feeling refreshed was inevitable.
The most crucial thing was that the profession upgrade quest, which had been weighing on Shiraishi Kawa's mind, was completed. After heating up the many bento boxes bought from the convenience store.
He sat on the soft sofa in the living room, and the TV was playing a movie from the urban legends series, "Kuchisake-onna."
Looking at Kuchisake-onna, she still has her charm!
The salmon salad, fatty tuna sushi, and seafood miso soup tasted very good. Ignoring Mary, who was sitting beside him with her arms wrapped around her knees.
Shiraishi Kawa picked up his phone.
During the busy time just now, Line had several unread messages. He glanced at them carefully and found that they were from Izumi Miori.
"Shiraishi-kun, I've made up my mind!"
"Thank you very much, Shiraishi-kun, for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely clean Shiraishi-kun's house thoroughly. Is it needed once a week?"
"If there are any special considerations, I hope Shiraishi-kun can take the time to explain them."
"Unexpected surprise."
Shiraishi Kawa hadn't expected Izumi Miori to agree so quickly. He thought carefully, then quickly tapped on the screen to reply.
"Tomorrow is the weekend, I wonder if Izumi-san is free?"
"If possible, I would like to trouble you with more things. Could you help with cooking? After all, bento every day is really not nutritious."
"But you can rest assured, Auntie, I will cover the cost of purchasing ingredients."
He sent several messages in a row, all showing "unread" status. He didn't mind, though. Having a young lady take care of his daily life.
That was more in line with his vision of life.
As the food digested, Shiraishi Kawa's physical strength was also replenished. Looking at Mary beside him again, a smile appeared on his handsome face as he said.
"Mary, let's continue the exorcism!"
"..."
Hearing Shiraishi Kawa's words, Mary's expressionless face twitched at the corner of her mouth. Why could this guy treat an urban legend like a space-time processor?
Bastard!
However, Mary, who had already prepared herself mentally, did not receive the rough treatment she had expected.
"..."
Shiraishi Kawa, who had been lazily lying on the sofa, had his usually calm face replaced with shock, his mind filled only with the mechanical prompt.
It wasn't a prompt from the Proficiency Panel... but rather... "The Dimensional Chat Group invites you to join."
"Do you agree?"
