However, she didn't think this was a problem caused by Yurikawa Hana.
Using her spiritual perception again, she carefully observed the dim streets around her. Perhaps because of the presence of Shiraishikawa, the exorcist, by her side, those menacing evil spirits had mostly retreated into corners. Yotsuya Miko could clearly sense the evil spirits trembling. She couldn't bring herself to distance herself from her good friend because of the existence of evil spirits.
Now, with a more compromising solution before her, she made up her mind and asked, "Shiraishi-kun, is there a way to solve this problem?"
"If I become an exorcist, can I stop worrying about these ghosts..."
"I will pay you for it."
"Becoming an exorcist is a bit difficult..."
After all, the 'exorcist' profession only became available after he met Yotsuya Miko, and most importantly, his exorcism methods were quite bizarre.
Shiraishikawa gently shook his head.
However, he then asked an unrelated question: "Are you renting a place in Chiba City?"
"...Yes."
"It's just that the environment of the house is a bit bad. I'm preparing to change rental houses; at the very least, it shouldn't be too gloomy."
It might also be because there were evil spirits in the rental house.
Yotsuya Miko always felt an inexplicable chill after moving in. Perhaps changing to a sunnier house would alleviate the problem significantly.
"I have an apartment building on the street ahead, and there are still some vacant rooms. If you want to move, you can consider renting from me."
"Although I can't make you an exorcist."
Shiraishikawa said in a relaxed tone, pointing to the street in the distance, "I can, however, do my best to help you live a relatively peaceful life."
"Don't worry about the rent; it will definitely be at the normal price. Since you're a classmate, if you're financially tight, I can offer a discount."
"Shiraishi-kun... owns an apartment building?"
Upon hearing this, Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but feel a flicker of desire. If she moved in, she wouldn't have to worry about being haunted by ghosts anymore.
It would even be on the way to and from school.
This didn't seem to deviate much from the peaceful high school life she desired. Although she wanted to nod and agree right away, she considered her best friend.
She nodded slightly and asked, "Can I add Shiraishi-kun on LINE?"
"I want to go back and ask Kawana for her opinion. If she has no other objections, I'd like to rent a room in Shiraishi-kun's apartment building!"
"Alright."
"Where do you live? I'll give you a ride home."
This was also preparation for his future harem. For Yotsuya Miko, whose personality, temper, and appearance he found appealing, giving a girl a ride home was something Shiraishikawa certainly wouldn't mind. Before leaving, he didn't forget to help Yotsuya Miko thoroughly cleanse the ghosts around her rental house.
Looking at the long-haired black-haired girl standing in the hallway, seeing him off, he smiled and reminded her, "Miko-chan, the fact that you can see evil spirits and I can exorcise them, let's keep it our shared secret!"
"I will absolutely not tell anyone about this."
Yotsuya Miko nodded seriously, watching Shiraishikawa's figure gradually disappear down the street. They were both students at Soubu High, but the feeling he gave her was exceptionally reliable!
"Excellent."
She secretly made a decision in her heart: "If Shiraishi-kun ever needs help in the future, I will do my best, no matter what!"
"But is this alone... not enough?"
...PS: This is an extra chapter. Today, there will still be a minimum of 5 chapters. The author will definitely work hard to add more chapters while ensuring quality.
Chapter 14: Wow~ Beautiful feet! Quickly use Evil Strike on her!
After helping Yotsuya Miko solve her problem, it was almost midnight when Shiraishikawa returned home. He pushed open the anti-theft door of his spacious apartment.
It wasn't as empty as before.
As he was about to change into his indoor shoes, a girl in a white princess dress with a red rose bow sat obediently on the floor, leaning forward and pushing his indoor shoes towards him.
Mary's pale, somewhat childish face now forced a smile, as she felt this human's power seemed to have grown stronger.
"Shiraishi-sama, you're back..."
"..."
Gazing at the obedient white-haired loli before him, even Shiraishikawa found it hard to imagine that this creature's identity was actually an urban legend.
Following the rules, she hadn't left while he was out doing things, and had even found her place in the house, acting as a diligent white-haired maid?
Seeing Shiraishikawa fall silent, Mary's heart couldn't help but feel a flicker of anxiety. But after careful recollection, she hadn't done anything excessive. She nervously asked, "Shiraishi-sama..."
"What's wrong?"
"Did I do something wrong?"
As the already petite girl sat cross-legged before Shiraishikawa, what came into view were her fair, delicate feet.
They were like sculpted works of art, with skin as pure and flawless as white jade. Her soft toes were like grapes, tempting one to put them in their mouth.
Tomorrow is the weekend.
With no classes, it was indeed a good opportunity for magic tempering and skill improvement!
Thinking this, Shiraishikawa gently shook his head and said in a clear voice, "No, I just suddenly thought of something. Hmm... quickly use Evil Strike on her (fist clenched)!"
"Huh?"
Before Mary could realize the seriousness of the problem, she felt her petite body being picked up, and the empty space made her feel a chill.
A moment later, looking at the bustling city view outside the French window, her eyes were somewhat dazed. But as an urban legend, her empty heart, filled after being abandoned, was now also filled physically.
It was already developing in a direction of collapse.
Although she was treated very roughly (exorcism, no other meaning)... if it could be like this every day, Mary genuinely felt it seemed quite nice.
She reached out her small hand and gently stroked her abdomen.
Gritting her teeth, "Please... Shiraishi-sama... exorcise me again!"

Tempering magic was a continuous process. Using the 'Holy Swordsman's' professional skills for tempering, by the time he woke up the next morning, over five hours had passed.
Staying up all night, he didn't feel any physical fatigue.
Opening his eyes again, Shiraishikawa could clearly feel the magic flowing through his body. This mysterious energy was significantly stronger than when he first awakened as a Holy Swordsman.
Most importantly, this magic was constantly transforming his body. There were no significant changes in the short term, but with continuous tempering, he had a vague feeling.
With the 'Holy Swordsman' profession, he could boost his basic physical attributes!
"Is this... the effect of magic tempering?"
"You have accumulated 5 hours of magic extraction, gaining skill experience +300, Magic Tempering Lv4 (300/10000)"
"You have accumulated 5 hours of magic extraction, gaining profession experience +300."
"Your skill 'Purification' has gained experience +3000 (Lv3→Lv4)"
"Your skill 'Vigor' has gained experience +3000 (Lv4→Lv5)"
Ignoring the meager experience from profession levels, it was the 'Purifier's' Purification and Vigor skills that, through last night's tireless efforts, successfully leveled up to 4.
They were just one step away from max level. The only real problem was that he couldn't continue to gain experience from the urban legend, Mary.
How to max out Purification still needed careful consideration.
Shiraishikawa got out of bed, sunlight streaming through the room's French window, making him feel lazy and warm.
He looked at the sleeping Mary. Sunlight spilled over the girl's fair, delicate skin. Perhaps it was the lingering afterglow of last night's frenzy.
A faint blush was still visible on her cheeks.
"Good morning, Shiraishi-sama."
Feeling the arm that was holding her being withdrawn, Mary gradually woke up from her sleep. But when she felt the sunlight spilling over her without causing any discomfort, she was stunned, sitting on the bed.
Urban legends, unlike ordinary evil spirits, possess real physical bodies.
As for sunlight... it would dispel the grudges on their bodies. Mary rarely moved during the day.
Now, being exposed to sunlight without any discomfort, but rather a faint warmth, her azure eyes were filled with surprise.
"I..."
"Did I achieve Buddhahood?"
Facing Mary's confusion, Shiraishikawa gently shook his head and said, "Achieving Buddhahood means directly ascending to heaven. Your grudge has been completely purified by me."
She could feel her grudge being completely purified, but Mary recalled their conversation from yesterday, and her heart unexpectedly became nervous.
The girl looked up, a complex flicker in the depths of her eyes.
"Then... Shiraishi-sama, are you not going to keep me anymore?"
"..."
Even a Fifi cup can be washed and reused. Moreover, Mary was a beautiful girl who had been purified. Shiraishikawa didn't answer directly, shaking his head, "I don't like the title 'sama'."
"Then..."
"Can I call you Master?"
The girl looked up, her eyes filled with hope. If it were truly possible, she wanted to serve by Shiraishikawa's side forever.
"Of course."
Using Mary to find other urban legends to help him cultivate the 'Purification' skill felt a bit embarrassing for Shiraishikawa to say out loud.
