「Your skill 'Vajra Body' gained experience +1500 (Lv4→Lv5)」
「Your skill 'Stamina' gained experience +1500 (Lv2→Lv4)」
「Your skill 'Purification' gained experience +1500 (Lv1→Lv3)」
「You successfully completed an exorcism of the urban legend 'Miss Mary', Exorcist level increased→Lv5, blank profession panel has been unlocked.」
With the exorcism ritual's conclusion, skill upgrade notifications popped up before Leo's eyes. His Vajra Body, practically invincible against ghosts, successfully maxed out.
However, this skill upgrade didn't bring substantial changes to his body.
If he had to mention a change, it was that with the 'Stamina' level increase, even on an empty stomach, what he'd lost on Mary just now...
Had been significantly enhanced!
"..."
After pulling up his pants, Leo looked at Mary lying on the wooden floor. The white princess dress had been casually tossed aside, light spilling over her pale body.
Perhaps due to excessive force, Mary's arms where he'd grabbed her were somewhat reddened.
After his continuous forced purification lasting two hours, the bratty ghost Mary, whose resentment had been completely eliminated, had fallen into a dazed state of consciousness.
Those perfectly pale legs struggled to close.
"This exorcism was very successful, but your resentment is rather strong, and my forced purification can only remove part of it, so you can't leave yet."
"I have to wait until it's all cleaned up before I can let you go."
For this perfect humanoid Fiji cup, Leo absolutely wouldn't let her go easily. The main reason was that the Stamina and Purification skills weren't maxed yet.
Having finally unlocked a supernatural profession.
He had to learn all the skills thoroughly!
"..."
"Leo-sama, I... I'm sorry for not satisfying you. I absolutely won't harm other people anymore. Could you please let me go?"
Hearing Leo's words, Mary, who had been lying on the floor, struggled to get up, only to discover her body was completely exhausted.
No longer in her initial state.
Instead, like an injured little white rabbit, pitifully hoping that this demon-like exorcist Leo before her would spare her.
"No."
"..."
Her proposal mercilessly rejected, Mary's clear eyes after purification filled with despair: "Then, Leo-sama."
"During exorcism... could you not be so violent?"
"Of course, no problem."
Leo's mood was still quite good tonight. He'd finally maxed out the Exorcist profession level.
Unlocking a new profession panel!
The originally peaceful multiverse daily life, after meeting Miko Yotsuya, awakened a supernatural profession. Although this profession could only target ghosts wandering the city.
But still...
It counted as obtaining a supernatural profession. The Stamina skill was very useful in real life. If he encountered Railgun later, maybe he really could step into the supernatural?
"Pick a room to live in yourself."
"If you want to leave temporarily, you need permission. And remember to clean up... if there's anything you don't understand, you can come ask me."
An urban legend without resentment posed no threat whatsoever to him with his maxed Vajra Body skill.
Looking at Mary clutching her princess dress, sitting against the wall as if having lost her dreams, it seemed there was no need to clean up, after all, the suction just now...
Was practically comparable to a spring elf, not leaking at all!
Leo glanced at the white-haired girl before him: "I'm going to prepare dinner. If you're interested in human food, you can find me in the living room."
After completing the forced exorcism, feeling refreshed was inevitable.
Most importantly, the profession upgrade task weighing on Leo's mind had been completed. After heating the many bentos bought from the convenience store.
He sat on the soft sofa in the living room, the TV showing a movie about the urban legend series "Slit-Mouthed Woman."
I'm watching Slit-Mouthed Woman—she's also a charming woman!
The salmon salad, tuna belly sushi, and seafood miso soup tasted quite good. Ignoring Mary beside him hugging her knees.
Leo picked up his phone.
During the time he'd just been busy, there were several unread Line messages. He glanced carefully and discovered they were messages from Miori Izumi.
「Leo-kun, I've thought it over!」
「Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity, Leo-kun. I'll definitely clean your house spotlessly. Is it once a week?」
「If there are any special considerations, I hope Leo-kun can take time to explain.」
"A pleasant surprise."
Leo hadn't expected Miori Izumi to agree so quickly. He thought carefully, then his fingers rapidly tapped the screen in reply.
「Tomorrow is the weekend, I wonder if Izumi-san has time?」
「If possible, I'd like to trouble you with one more thing—could you help with cooking? After all, eating bentos every day really isn't nutritious.」
「But you can rest assured, I'll cover the cost of purchasing ingredients.」
After sending several messages in succession, they all showed "unread" status. He didn't mind. Having a young woman take care of his daily needs.
This fit his vision of life.
As the food digested, Leo's stamina was replenished. Looking again at Mary beside him, his handsome face wore a smile.
"Mary, let's continue the exorcism!"
"..."
Hearing Leo's words, Mary's expressionless face twitched at the corners. Why could this guy treat an urban legend like a Seagate processor?
Bastard!
However, Mary, who had already done her mental preparation, didn't encounter the rough behavior she'd expected.
"..."
Because Leo, who had been lazily lying on the sofa, his originally calm face was now covered with shock, his mind echoing only with mechanical notification sounds.
It wasn't a notification from the proficiency panel...
But rather...
「Dimensional Chat Group invites you to join.」
「Do you agree?」
