"I can't do it myself, but you can!"
Kamishiro Yu listened to Hachishaku-sama's words and couldn't help but admit she had some insight.
He hadn't really restrained his *qi* and energy, mainly because there were too many evil spirits nearby.
But the fact that she still had the courage to approach him meant she was certainly not an ordinary evil spirit.
He smiled toward Hachishaku-sama:
"There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If you want my help, you still need to pay some compensation."
Hachishaku-sama nodded hesitantly:
"I know of a place that hides some artifacts you might be able to use, as well as a considerable amount of gold."
In her current state, she can no longer use that gold.
Keeping it is useless; it's better to use it as payment to ask the man before her to take revenge.
She had previously tried looking for other Exorcists and Shrine Maidens, but their abilities couldn't even handle her, let alone remove an Evil God.
She looked at Kamishiro Yu. Gold was the most tempting thing for secular people, and she believed no one would refuse.
When Yurikawa Hana heard "gold," her mind was already calculating how many loaves of bread she could buy.
If being an Exorcist was this profitable, perhaps she could develop in this direction in the future.
The Yotsuya Mother and Daughter also looked at Kamishiro Yu, naturally deferring to his opinion.
However, much to Hachishaku-sama's surprise, Kamishiro Yu refused.
"Gold is not enough compensation for me, and the artifacts you mentioned have no catalog, so their value cannot be determined."
"In fact, rather than those things, I am more interested in your value."
Kamishiro Yu's words instantly stunned the three people and one spirit present.
Yotsuya Toko: Does Yu-kun like this type?
Yotsuya Miko: The senior Mom invited really seems extraordinary!
Yurikawa Hana: Him? This?
Hachishaku-sama: Me?
..0.4278
Hachishaku-sama eventually agreed; she didn't believe she had much value left anyway.
Her current purpose for existing was solely to avenge her past grievances.
She was originally imprisoned in the Sanko Valley Shrine and died as a sacrifice to the Evil God.
She had already claimed the lives of those who harmed her in the past, but the final beneficiary, the Evil God, was still enjoying offerings.
Moreover, time had passed, and the Sanko Valley Shrine's popularity had fallen to its lowest point. Now was the perfect time to eliminate the Evil God.
She couldn't afford to miss this opportunity.
After hearing Hachishaku-sama's story, Yurikawa Hana was teary-eyed, while the other three had no reaction.
Yurikawa Hana wiped her eyes and was suddenly surprised to find that Hachishaku-sama had vanished without a trace.
"Why did the big sister disappear?"
Kamishiro Yu explained:
"I previously cast a Spirit Charm on you, which is why you could see her. It has now expired, so you can't see her anymore."
Yurikawa Hana looked distressed. She had never realized the world had such a dangerous side.
However, recalling when she was with Miko at school and buying desserts outside, Miko often had strange behaviors.
She suddenly realized the truth and looked resentfully at Miko:
"So we've been going to school alongside evil spirits?"
Miko rubbed her hands, feeling a little helpless:
"That's right. I never told you. Sorry."
"There are too many evil spirits outside, and they often try to talk to people."
"If you show that you can hear them, you will be attacked."
Yurikawa Hana instantly understood. It was probably a case of fools having good luck.
But she still looked at Kamishiro Yu unwillingly:
"Senior, do you have any solution?"
Kamishiro Yu rubbed his nose:
"Yes, I do, but..."
Yurikawa Hana excitedly grabbed Kamishiro Yu's hand:
"That's great."
"But what, Senior?"
...Yurikawa Hana stood with her back to Kamishiro Yu, her mind in chaos.
It seemed to have returned to the development she had been overthinking initially.
After much thought, she still hoped to change the status quo.
While acting like an ostrich was good, there would always be times when special circumstances arose.
At that time, the only thing she would lose was her life.
Various thoughts flashed through her mind:
[So my Life Energy is that powerful?]
[Yes! There's a reason I love to eat! I'm not just a foodie!]
[A Divine Servant? If Senior really makes a move on me...]
[But he really is charming.]
"Click~"
The sound of a clasp being undone rang out.
Yurikawa Hana gently removed the soft white package from her body and placed it on her lap.
Yotsuya Miko looked at the cup size and felt as if she had taken a critical hit!
She suddenly looked at her mother with an expression that seemed to ask, "Did Mom also make a contract with Senior?" which made Yotsuya Toko's face start to flush... Yurikawa Hana also gradually sensed that her body was like a small sun.
Under Kamishiro Yu's guidance, she carefully channeled the power toward her eyes.
Slowly, she could clearly see Hachishaku-sama's presence again.
She had never felt so energetic; the charge felt like it was constantly at maximum!
In her surprise and delight, Yurikawa Hana gave Kamishiro Yu a big hug, directly impacting his chest.
Directly causing ripples!
This made Kamishiro Yu feel a little restless.
Yurikawa Hana also sensed the impropriety, blushed, and lowered her arms.
"Thank you, Senior. I feel especially good now."
"The kind where I could eat ten hamburgers at once!"
Kamishiro Yu couldn't help but sigh: What a massive foodie!
He glanced at the difference between the Yotsuya Mother and Daughter and the other two girls, feeling that the wealth gap in this world was quite significant!
He adjusted himself, then proceeded to make a contract with Hachishaku-sama and Miko as well.
He had said he was interested in Hachishaku-sama mainly because he wondered if her current state allowed for a contract, and it turned out to be very smooth.
And Miko's process was unsurprising, similar to her mother's... During dinner, Kamishiro Yu and Yurikawa Hana ate with great relish.
Both of their Life Energies had significantly increased, resulting in a greatly increased appetite.
Meanwhile, the Yotsuya Mother and Daughter across the table, even though they had also made a contract, remained somewhat silent.
They looked at Yurikawa Hana, whose chest was resting on the table, and felt intense resentment:
Why did some women manage to grow like that?
Yotsuya Toko directly asked a soul-searching question in the Chat Group:
[Yotsuya Toko: Are there any items or potions for secondary development?]
[Takagi Yuriko: Has she been provoked? Going to the hospital can solve the problem! Enhancement Potions only strengthen constitution, they cannot strengthen specific parts.]
[Yotsuya Toko: I don't want to go to the hospital, I want it natural! (Resentment)]
[Yuki Kyoko: Resentment]
[Frieren: Resentment +1, wait until I develop Breast Enhancement Magic.]
[Tamayo: Oh my, being just right is also nice! Don't overdo it.]
Kamishiro Yu laughed when he saw this. He hadn't expected Madam Yotsuya to be concerned about this.
He thought it didn't matter.
Having experienced large ones many times, sometimes experiencing smaller ones is also nice. After all, being able to hold it in one hand is sometimes a pleasure.
However, his haul today was quite substantial, including what he gained from contracting with Hachishaku-sama and Miko.
After washing up and getting into bed, he couldn't wait to open his system and take stock.
