Tokyo, My Childhood Friend is a Ghost Story

Chapter 110 I need to trouble Jia Yezi to rest in another room for a while.

Haruko Higa looked at Hanako Yoshimura beside her. Unlike ordinary people who were surprised by Hanako Yoshimura's height, Haruko Higa immediately saw the malevolent spiritual power hidden in Hanako Yoshimura's flesh and blood.

"this."

"Yoshimura Hanako".

Haruko asked the waiter to bring her a chair and sat down. After carefully examining her for a moment, she took her wrist in her hand.

After a moment of perception, Haruko Higa frowned and looked at Hanako Yoshimura.

"Miss Yoshimura, are you sure you got together with Hanako after junior high school?"

Yoshimura Hanako nodded.

"I am very sure."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Higa Haruko's eyebrows furrowed even more.

"Sister Qingzi, is the situation very troublesome?"

Haruko Higa nodded; this was the first time she had ever seen Hanako Yoshimura in this state.

"It's difficult to handle. Let's move to another place; it's too noisy here."

At Haruko Higa's invitation, the group got up and headed outside. Just as they reached the door, a handsome man in a sharp suit greeted Haruko Higa and walked towards them.

"Miss Higa, are you leaving?"

"Excuse me, Kimura-kun, we have other things to attend to, so we'll stop here for today."

During their conversation, Uta Kasyapa and Fukie exchanged a glance.

This is Haruko Higa's blind date; he seems pretty good.

Just as the group was about to leave, Kimura suddenly spoke up.

"Is it because of this young lady? Is this a vengeful spirit?!"

Amid Kimura's surprised and uncertain voice, Haruko Higa frowned and glanced at him.

"It's none of your business. Let's go. And please don't interfere."

Upon hearing Haruko Higa's cold voice, Kimura paused for a moment before hurriedly speaking to her retreating figure.

"Miss Higa, you've misunderstood. I didn't."

Upon arriving at the parking lot, watching Yoshimura Hanako slowly squeeze into the passenger seat, Fukie suddenly understood what Uta Kasaya meant by the unexpected situation earlier.

As the car started, Uta Kassapa, who was sitting between the two women in the back seat, was about to ask about Yoshimura Hanako's situation when he heard Fukie ask from the side.

"Haruko, was that Kimura your blind date just now?"

Haruko looked at the curious group in the rearview mirror and sighed.

"Yes, Kimura is the third blind date my family has arranged for me this year."

Upon receiving confirmation, Fujang raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"I never expected you to accept a family-arranged blind date."

“Living in human society, one must accept social rules. My family has given me a lot of support, which is a necessary compromise.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than Yoshimura Hanako, who was curled up next to Higa Haruko, suddenly spoke up.

"Higa-senpai, may I ask, was the vengeful spirit that Kimura-senpai mentioned referring to me?"

Haruko Higa nodded.

"This is extremely rare, so rare that I have only seen it in records."

"It's hard to explain in a short time. I'll explain it to you in detail when we get there."

In her spacious apartment, Higa Haruko changed into a loose robe and casually let her hair fall over her shoulders. After pouring a glass of juice for everyone, Higa Haruko lazily sat on the sofa.

Fu Jiang took a sip of juice and frowned slightly.

"Don't like juice? We also have a variety of alcoholic beverages at home, would you like some?"

"No need, it's just that this brand of juice is a bit too sweet."

Haruko remained noncommittal, then looked to Uta Kayo's right, at Kayako, whose gaze was subtly fixed on the snacks and fruits on the table. She leaned forward and pushed the snacks in front of Kayako.

"Take whatever you want."

When her gluttony was discovered, Kayako blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment. Seeing this, Uta Kasaya took a bag of dried fruit, opened it, and handed Kayako a piece. "Haruko-neechan, is Hanako's condition serious?"

"It's serious if you say it's serious, and it's not serious if you say it's not serious either."

"?"

"Don't imitate those monks, just say it directly."

Fukie's impatient urging led Haruko Higa to explain Yoshimura Hanako's situation.

Simply put, this world doesn't belong to humans alone; there are also other strange and unusual things like vengeful spirits.

The reason why vengeful spirits are more widely known is because they originate from humans, and therefore have the largest number of inhabitants.

Yoshimura Hanako's situation is unique in this environment; she coexists with vengeful spirits.

Like clownfish and anemones, vengeful spirits, as symbiotic beings, provide humans, as the symbiotic beings, with all sorts of incredible abilities.

Humans, as the symbiotic beings, provide the vengeful spirits with a long-term and reliable foundation in this world.

But why is this situation considered rare?
This is because, unlike the symbiotic relationship in nature, the symbiotic relationship between vengeful spirits and humans is very dangerous.

Those with spiritual power will have their spiritual power devoured by vengeful spirits as nourishment, while those without spiritual power will have their life force directly consumed by vengeful spirits.

Yoshimura Hanako is the latter of the two, but if that's all there is to it, for Higa Haruko, it would be at most a matter of a few slaps.

The key issue is that the situation of Yoshimura Hanako and Hanako in the toilet is also very special in the context of vengeful spirits.

It's more like the two have merged; the Hanako in the toilet has become one with Yoshimura Hanako's body.

A powerful and resentful spiritual energy permeated every inch of Yoshimura Hanako's flesh and blood, which is why she was unusually tall and incredibly strong.

This explains why Yoshimura Hanako didn't become weak; instead, she grew stronger.

"Is there any way to solve Hanako's situation?"

In response to Uta Kasyapa's question, Haruko Higa lit a cigarette for herself.

"You don't mind, do you?"

The others shook their heads, but Haruko Higa exhaled a puff of smoke and continued speaking.

"Yes, but it's very troublesome. The conventional method only requires exorcising the accompanying vengeful spirit, but in Ms. Yoshimura's case, using this method would most likely exorcise both her and Hanako at the same time."

After Haruko Higa finished speaking, Hanako Yoshimura gave a wry smile.

"So, there's no other way?"

"If you seek out an exorcist as soon as you realize something is wrong, not only will your problem be solved, but you can also become a powerful spirit master. Now..."

Haruko Higa pondered for a moment.

"Perhaps we could try to resolve the resentment of Hanako inside you and let her leave your body on her own. This method is quite troublesome, and the process of leaving might have some impact on you."

Having already given up and looking dejected, Yoshimura Hanako looked intently at Higa Haruko upon hearing this.

"Higa-senpai, what... what should I do?"

Uta Kasyapa, having gleaned something from Higa Haruko's words, frowned and asked.

"Are there different kinds of Hanako in the toilet?"

In response, Haruko Higa offered an explanation.

"Hanako in the toilet" is actually a general term for the vengeful spirits of those who died tragically in school or other restrooms.

"In fact, each Hanako died for a different cause, harbored different grudges, and possessed different powers. The Hanako who merged with Ms. Yoshimura was the strongest of them all."

After explaining, Haruko Higa looked at Hanako Yoshimura.

"What you need to do now is to communicate with it and find out what its obsession is."

After saying that, Haruko Higa stubbed out her cigarette and slowly stood up.

"However, it seems you're not able to communicate with her independently right now, so you'll need a little help, and..."

Haruko Higa suddenly looked at the coconut next to her, which was like a hamster, taking small bites and savoring the dried fruit.

"I'd like to trouble Jia Yezi to rest in another room for a while."

"Eh?"
