Tokyo, My Childhood Friend is a Ghost Story

Chapter 111 Where on earth have you come to, you idiot?!
I hate Haruko Higa.
Sitting in the study, Jia Yezi muttered to herself, not understanding why she had been called into the room alone.

Uta Kassapa, who had come with her, watched as Kayano sat with her head down in a chair, pouting slightly, looking unhappy, and flipping through a book haphazardly.

"Don't be angry, it'll be fine in a bit."

Jia Yezi looked up at Yu Duo Jia Ye and opened her arms coquettishly, wanting him to hug her.

Ever since the two slept together that night, it was as if Jia Yezi had turned on a switch; whenever she had a chance to be alone with Uta Kasyapa, she would pester him for kisses and touches.

"I'll go over there first, and I'll come find you in a bit."

"Um"

She responded with a slightly aggrieved tone, watching with reluctance as Uta Kasyapa left the study.

Bad guy bad guy bad guy
Haruko Higa is a bad guy
In the living room, Yoshimura Hanako carefully moved the sofa and other furniture to a corner. After Higa Haruko drew a complex array full of words on the floor with white powder, she had Yoshimura Hanako sit cross-legged in the center.

"It's not a six-pointed star?"

Fue, who was standing to the side with her arms crossed, asked in confusion. Haruko Higa, who had changed into white hakama, explained while tying her hair back.

"The six-pointed star is more often used to target evil spirits in the West. In Asia, it not only has no meaning, but sometimes it can even arouse the ferocity of the target."

Taking a black jar in her hand, Haruko Higa pulled out a handful of yellow powder and blew it into the air.

As the powder dispersed, the living room seemed to enter a hazy, yellow world, while everything outside the smoke was submerged in endless darkness.

"The deaths of some evil spirits are inextricably linked to religion. If we rashly use inappropriate means, it could provoke them into riots, which would be very troublesome."

As soon as she finished speaking, Haruko Higa closed her eyes and began chanting a spell.

Unlike the incantations she recited in the past, this time Haruko Higa's incantation was not only obscure and difficult to understand, but also had a very strange tone.

Halfway through her reading, a piece of Higa Haruko's ponytail suddenly broke off. Looking back at the ponytail on the ground, Higa Haruko looked helplessly at Uta Kasyapa.

"You should go to the study. Miss Jia Yezi's guardian spirit is eager to get close to me right now."

Fue and Uta Kasyapa were both taken aback upon hearing this. Fue, who was busy admiring the mysterious side ritual, pushed Uta Kasyapa's shoulder and urged him on.

"Go! Go! Go."

"."

When Uta Kasyapa went into the study, Fukie looked at Higa Haruko.

"Do you have a camera? I'd like to take some photos to put in the club and fill in relevant literature."

"."

Haruko Higa had a dark expression on her face. Uta Kasaya's two girlfriends were both more troublesome than the other!
"Okay, but don't take pictures of my face. Also, if your school cancels your club because of this, I won't be responsible."

"No problem. Do you have a camera? I'll take a couple of pictures."

Haruko Higa sighed, pointed to the study, and then Fue, with a cold face, came outside with her camera in hand amidst Uta Kasaya's painful screams.

"let's start."

Haruko Higa and Hanako Yoshimura exchanged a strange look, then Haruko Higa coughed.

"Then I'll begin."

As Haruko Higa successfully finished reciting the incantation this time, Hanako Yoshimura's eyes gradually became vacant, until they completely lost focus and she abruptly lowered her head.

"Hehehe~ Someone actually woke me up, you guys have some nerve."

A sinister and terrifying voice suddenly came from behind Yoshimura Hanako, and at the same time, a figure that looked to be about ten years old appeared in the yellow mist surrounding her. The figure had strangely shaped hands and feet, an open mouth, and a neck that was faintly connected by mist. It was a nearly transparent figure wearing a red dress.

"Let me see."

Before the eerie opening remarks could be finished, Hanako, who had been awakened by Higa Kotoko using a secret technique, suddenly froze.

She first stared blankly at Higa Haruko, then looked at Fukie, who was snapping photos of her with her camera.

Hey Hey hey!
What's wrong with you, woman?! I'm a demon, a demon! Can't you show me some respect?!
Do you think you're filming a documentary?!

Fine, you can take pictures, but could you please stay away from me? That sign around your neck is scary, no, it's terrifying!

And that woman in white hakama next to me, what? You, a human, have more exaggerated spiritual power than me, a demon? Is that right?!

What's with the darkness all around us?
Why, why do I always feel like there's something terrifying lurking in the darkness?
I am an evil spirit, an evil spirit that can interfere with the mortal world!

Yoshimura Hanako, you idiot, where have you ended up?!
"It's more pleasing to the eye than I imagined. Shouldn't those evil spirits all have ferocious expressions and broken features?"

As Fukie asked in surprise, Haruko Higa explained calmly.

“Those kinds of evil spirits are relatively easier to deal with. Based on my exorcism experience over the years, the more a demon retains most of its physical characteristics from its previous life, the stronger it tends to be.”

During the calm conversation between Haruko Higa and Fukie, the illusory Hanako in the middle stands blankly behind Hanako Yoshimura.

"Alright, Hanako, right? There are two main reasons why I called you out."

"You say."

Haruko looked at the unusually well-behaved Hanako with some surprise, then glanced at Fukie, who was using her palm to pass through Hanako's body to verify whether she had a physical form.

And then there's the cursed Coconut, lurking in the darkness, its presence unknown, its fate uncertain—whether it has let go of its hostility towards her remains a mystery.

She was unlucky.
Normally, these kinds of evil spirits would at least try to provoke you first, and only after being beaten into submission would they obediently confess.
"Two things. First, what is your obsession?"

"Secondly, after we help you resolve your obsession, please leave Ms. Yoshimura."

Hanako glanced at Fukie, who was holding a camera close to her face to take a close-up shot, and felt the powerful life force emanating from her. Instinctively, she reached out and tried to insert her hand into Fukie's body to absorb it.

Upon seeing this, Haruko's expression changed. Just as she was about to form a hand seal to teach Hanako a lesson, she saw that half of Hanako's arm suddenly disappeared.

"Yes, sorry!"

An attack from who-knows-where jolted Hanako awake from her instincts, and she immediately and fearfully assumed the dogeza (a traditional Chinese kneeling posture) pose towards Fukue.

"Is this it?"

With a wicked grin, Fu Jiang took out the wooden amulet that Jia Yezi had given her, and Hanako retreated in terror.

"Alright, Miss Fujiang, please don't frighten her."

Upon hearing this, Fu Jiang shrugged and stepped back with her camera in hand.

"Look at Miss Yoshimura, look what you've done to her."

Hanako, recovering from her shock, stared blankly at Yoshimura Hanako upon hearing this. As she walked around Yoshimura Hanako, a scream suddenly rang out.

"Who is this ugly monster?!"
