Chiba Municipal Sobu High School.
Evening.
After ending the daily activities of the "Classics Club," a refined-looking young man with M-shaped bangs and slightly naturally curled hair at the ends shouldered his messenger bag.
His handsome face wore an appropriate smile.
Looking at this girl wearing a khaki JK uniform with smooth black hair draped over her shoulders, whose seemingly calm demeanor hid a hint of unease.
"See you tomorrow, Yotsuya-san."
"As long as you maintain your composure and ignore the existence of ghosts, they won't be able to harm you."
Leo opened the club room door, and before leaving, he didn't forget to remind Yotsuya Miko of emergency measures when encountering ghosts.
As a transmigrator.
Having transmigrated into this world as a fetus 17 years ago, after his parents died in an accident, they left him an extremely generous inheritance that, even relying solely on that inheritance,
Would completely allow him to live a life of leisure in Tokyo.
With excellent grades, he got into Sobu High and discovered his surroundings included Yui Yuigahama and Eru Chitanda, barely confirming this was a comprehensive daily manga world.
As a result—
Just as the new semester started, two transfer students joined the class.
Yotsuya Miko, who possesses spiritual sight, and Yurikawa Hana, who has a constitution that naturally attracts spirits—the peaceful daily high school campus life was no more.
"Thank you, Leo-san."
Suddenly awakening spiritual sight abilities, able to see things ordinary people can't see...
This brought tremendous changes to Yotsuya Miko's life. After confirming the empty hallway had no ghosts, she breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Does this really work?"
"Of course."
"Thank you, Leo-san."
Walking alongside Yotsuya Miko as they left the club, ignoring the ghosts emitting black auras in the hallway, constant notification sounds kept ringing in his ears.
「You have conducted research on ghosts, Experience +130」
「You witnessed ghosts with your own eyes, spiritual vision ability improved, Experience +80」

「Note: With rich theoretical exorcism knowledge but lacking practical exorcism experience, a new profession panel will unlock after completing your first exorcism.」
...
As a transmigrator,
Leo's cheat is the profession panel. As long as he successfully unlocks a profession panel and learns knowledge and skills related to that profession,
He can level up his skills.
In a comprehensive daily manga world, putting in effort can make him an all-around hexagonal warrior.
Then.
After meeting Yotsuya Miko in the new semester, he accidentally activated the supernatural profession "Exorcist" in this daily world, conducting various theoretical studies.
The experience he's farmed has already brought his profession level to a bottleneck.
He needs to complete a profession breakthrough task before he can unlock a new profession.
"Wait, do I really have to exorcise?"
After parting with Yotsuya Miko at the train station platform, Leo looked at the constantly changing scenery outside the train window and couldn't help but fall into brief contemplation.
Carefully examining his profession skills.
Forceful Exorcism.
As long as he gets the first move in a confrontation, he can forcefully make ghosts complete the purification ritual—it's an inescapable capture technique.
He possesses spiritual vision comparable to Yotsuya Miko's, Vajra Body can immunize him against any ghost attacks, and during exorcism, he'll have boundless, surging stamina.
So far, everything seems normal...
And the final "Purification" skill—after Leo's bodily fluids... enter the ghost's body, it will cause sealing and continuous purification effects.
The art style is becoming increasingly familiar.
Isn't this just the "Resilient Exorcist" profession template from adult anime?
The key point is that the ghosts existing in this world, without exception, are all ugly, hideous monsters emitting black, foul-smelling auras.
He can't do it!!
"I can't just leave my profession... stuck at Exorcist, can I?"
Leo muttered quietly. He could confirm that in this abnormal world, no ghost could harm him, but Yotsuya Miko's problem
Still couldn't be solved.
The train was about to arrive at the station.
"..."
"Let's go home first."
He shook his head gently, carrying his messenger bag as he left the train platform, heading toward his apartment building. The sky was already approaching evening.
The streetlights hadn't turned on yet,
Causing the surrounding environment to be slightly dim. Occasionally, hurried office workers passed by, and occasionally he could see ghosts standing by streetlamps.
Sensing Leo's special existence,
The ghosts that made Yotsuya Miko want to avoid at all costs and filled her with fear wished they could burrow directly into cracks in the ground—getting close felt like scorching sunlight burning their hearts.
"Alright..."
"Still that familiar comprehensive manga daily life."
Clearly catching onto this detail,
The key point was, he couldn't exactly forcefully bind Yotsuya Miko to his side, using his special exorcist nature to achieve a protective effect, could he?
The boat will straighten out when it reaches the bridge.
As Leo walked toward the apartment building, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. After looking carefully, he found the phone number was unknown.
This situation...
Was probably a resident from the apartment building looking for him about something?
Without much thought, he answered directly.
"Hello."
As soon as he spoke, a clear female voice came from the other end: "Hello, just call me Miss Mary. I'm very pleased to meet you."
"..."
"Is there something you need from me?"
"Are you currently standing at the intersection of Nagasu 2-chome? Please wait there for a moment, I'll come find you right away."
"..."
Leo's gaze briefly surveyed his surroundings. He had no impression of "Miss Mary," and as for how the other party knew his location,
Probably a prank?
He hung up directly, but the phone interface was frozen, still showing that lively, cute female voice, though now it carried a chill.
"Why did you hang up on Mary's call?"
"..."
Hearing the other party's name again, Leo's expression gradually became strange, suddenly associating it with what the "Classics Club" discussed today...
Urban legend.
The so-called Mary refers to "Miss Mary's Phone Call" from urban legends.
According to legend, after the "Mary" doll was abandoned, carrying the resentment of being discarded, after connecting the call, she will always follow the person who answered the phone.
Until right behind them.
Leo's expression grew increasingly strange, and he couldn't help asking: "Excuse me, are you... Miss Mary from the urban legend series?"
"Hehe, some people do call me that."
"Small fry~"
"Don't think about hanging up the phone, I'll follow you until I'm right behind you. If you're not satisfied, I'll let you die knowing why?"
"?"
The scent of a bratty ghost, even coming through the phone.
According to the "Miss Mary's Phone Call" urban legend, the other party would follow him, gradually getting closer, stimulating emotions through the phone.
That's basically the routine.
Considering it's dangerous to cross the street while on the phone, and wanting to max out his Exorcist profession level, he must complete an exorcism action!
Otherwise, he can't obtain other professions.
With the many skills he currently possesses, he doesn't need to worry about safety at all. If he really needs to find an evil spirit to complete the Exorcist breakthrough task,
Well.
Obviously, the familiar urban legend series was easier to accept.
Leo thought briefly.
He then suggested: "Miss Mary, answering calls while crossing the street is very dangerous. If you want to find me, come to apartment 625 in Nagasu 3-chome."
"I'll be waiting for you in room 1501 on the top floor."
"..."
The phone fell into brief silence, finally letting out a cold laugh with a contemptuous tone: "Looks like you already know what's going to happen."
"However, small fry~ you're definitely going to encounter something even more terrifying!"
"Okay."
Leo nodded lightly. For his first exorcism experience, he had to have a sense of ceremony. After hesitating, he suggested: "Remember to wear something cute."
