Chapter 1: I'm in a Comprehensive Anime World, and I'm an Adamantine Exorcist.
Chiba Municipal Soubu High School.
Evening.
After finishing the daily activities of the Classics Club, the handsome boy with M-shaped bangs and naturally curly hair, slung his satchel over his shoulder.
A moderate smile hung on his attractive face.
He looked at the girl in the khaki JK uniform with long, smooth black hair draped over her shoulders; his seemingly calm demeanor hid a hint of unease.
"Yotsuya-san, see you tomorrow."
"As long as you maintain a normal mindset and ignore the existence of ghosts, they won't be able to harm you."
Shiraishi Kawa pulled open the Classics Club classroom door, and before leaving, he didn't forget to remind Yotsuya Miko of emergency measures when encountering ghosts.
As a transmigrator.
He had been transmigrated into this world for 17 years. After his parents died unexpectedly, they left him an extremely generous inheritance, enough for him to live a comfortable life in Tokyo.
He got into Soubu High School with excellent grades and, upon discovering that his surroundings included Yui Yuigahama and Chitanda Eru, he tentatively confirmed it was a comprehensive anime slice-of-life world.
However,
At the beginning of the new semester, two transfer students joined the class.
Yotsuya Miko, who possessed spiritual perception, and Yurikawa Hana, who had a natural constitution for attracting spirits, meant that the peaceful daily life of high school no longer existed.
"Thank you, Shiraishi-kun."
Suddenly awakening the ability to perceive spirits, allowing her to see things ordinary people couldn't...
It brought significant changes to Yotsuya Miko's life. Confirming that the empty corridor was free of ghosts, she let out a slight sigh of relief: "Does this really work?"
"Of course."
"Thank you, Shiraishi-kun."
#
Walking side-by-side with Yotsuya Miko out of the Classics Club, ignoring the black-aura-emitting ghosts in the corridor, constant notifications echoed in his ears.
"You conducted research on ghosts, Experience +130."
"You witnessed a ghost, your spiritual perception improved, Experience +80."
..."Name: Shiraishi Kawa"
"Gender: Male"
"Age: 17"
"Profession 1: Student Lv5 (Max)"
"Core Skill: Endless Learning (Max)"
"Basic Skills: Japanese Lv5, Mathematics Lv5, English Lv5..."
..."Profession 2: Exorcist Lv4 (510/500)"
"Core Skill: Forced Exorcism (Max)"
"Basic Skills: Spiritual Perception Lv5, Adamantine Body Lv4, Energy Lv2, Purification Lv1"
"Note: Your theoretical knowledge of exorcism is rich, but you lack practical experience. A new profession panel will unlock after your first exorcism."
...As a transmigrator.
Shiraishi Kawa's golden finger was his profession panel. As long as he successfully unlocked a profession panel and studied the knowledge and techniques related to that profession,
He could raise his skill levels.
In a comprehensive anime slice-of-life world, putting in effort allowed him to become a hexagonal warrior.
Then,
After meeting Yotsuya Miko in the new semester, he unexpectedly activated the extraordinary profession 'Exorcist' in this everyday world, undergoing various theoretical studies.
The experience he gained had already brought his profession level to a bottleneck.
He needed to complete a profession breakthrough quest to unlock new professions.
"No, do I really have to exorcise?"
After parting ways with Yotsuya Miko at the train station, Shiraishi Kawa looked at the constantly changing scenery outside the train window and fell into a brief contemplation.
He carefully examined his professional skills.
Forced Exorcism.
As long as he got the first move in a confrontation, he could force a ghost to complete a Purification ritual, an inescapable grappling technique.
Possessing spiritual perception comparable to Yotsuya Miko's, Adamantine Body could make him immune to any ghost attacks, and he would have boundless Energy during exorcism.
Currently, everything seemed normal... And the final 'Purification' skill meant that when Shiraishi Kawa's bodily fluids... entered a ghost's body, it would cause sealing and continuous Purification effects.
The art style gradually became familiar.
Isn't this the 'Adamantine Exorcist' profession template from hentai?
The crucial point was that all the ghosts existing in this world were, without exception, ugly monsters emitting a black, foul-smelling aura.
He couldn't do it!
"I can't just... get stuck at the Exorcist profession, can I?"
Shiraishi Kawa mumbled softly. He was certain that in this non-ordinary world, no ghost could harm him, but Yotsuya Miko's problem...
Couldn't be solved either.
The train was about to arrive at the station.
"..."
"Let's go home first."
He shook his head slightly, carrying his satchel, and left the train station, walking towards his apartment building. The sky was already nearing evening.
Because the streetlights hadn't been turned on yet,
The surroundings were slightly dim. Occasionally, hurried commuters passed by, and occasionally, he could see ghosts standing by the streetlights.
Sensing Shiraishi Kawa's special existence,
The ghosts that Yotsuya Miko avoided and feared wished they could burrow directly into the ground. Just getting close to him caused a burning pain, as if from scorching sun.
"Alright..."
"It's still that familiar comprehensive anime slice-of-life."
He clearly grasped this point.
But he couldn't just forcibly tie Yotsuya Miko to his side and use his special nature as an Exorcist to achieve a protective effect, could he?
There's always a way.
As Shiraishi Kawa walked towards the apartment building, his phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. After a closer look, he found the number was unknown.
In this situation... it was probably a resident of the apartment building looking for him?
Without overthinking, he answered directly.
"Hello."
As soon as he spoke, a clear female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, you can call me Miss Mary. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"..."
"Are you looking for me?"
"Are you currently at the intersection of Nagasu 2-chome? Please wait where you are for a moment. I'll be right there to find you."
"..."
Shiraishi Kawa simply glanced around. He had no impression of 'Miss Mary'. As for how she knew his location,
It was probably a prank?
He hung up the phone directly, but the phone screen was frozen, and that lively, cute female voice, now tinged with coldness, still spoke.
"Why did you hang up on Mary?"
"..."
Hearing the name again, Shiraishi Kawa's expression gradually became strange. He suddenly thought of the urban legends discussed in the Classics Club today...
The so-called Mary was 'Miss Mary's Phone Call' from urban legends.
Legend has it that after Mary's doll was abandoned, filled with resentment from being left behind, it would make a phone call and then constantly follow the person who answered.
Until it was right behind them.
Shiraishi Kawa's expression grew increasingly strange, and he couldn't help but ask: "Excuse me, are you... Miss Mary from the urban legend series?"
"Hehe, some people call me that."
"Scum~"
"Don't try to hang up, okay? I'll follow you until I'm right behind you. If you're not satisfied, then I'll let you die knowing why?"
"?"
The scent of a condescending loli seemed to emanate through the phone.
According to the 'Miss Mary's Phone Call' urban legend, the other party would follow him, gradually getting closer, and stimulate his emotions through the phone.
That was the general modus operandi.
Considering that answering the phone while crossing the street was dangerous, and if he wanted to max out his Exorcist profession level, he had to complete an exorcism!
Otherwise, he couldn't acquire other professions.
With the many skills he currently possessed, he didn't need to worry about safety. If he really had to find an evil spirit to complete the Exorcist's breakthrough quest,
