Tokyo, My Childhood Friend is a Ghost Story

Chapter 130: Was that a pretty fun fight back then?
"Um...didn't Hanako already leave your body? Why are you still here?"

Seeing Uta Kasyapa's shocked and bewildered expression, Yoshimura Hanako threw the cup into the trash can, picked up a fork, stuck a piece of cake into her mouth, and put it in her mouth.

"Hanako enhanced my physical abilities, but she wasn't my primary source of power."

Upon hearing this, Uta Kasyapa fell into deep thought, hesitated for a long time before finally speaking in shock.

"You mean, you're still a formidable fighter even without Hanako?"

Yoshimura Hanako nodded. Thanks to her parents' genes and the family's specific diet, the Yoshimura family members were naturally taller and stronger than ordinary people.

"Then why did you merge with Hanako when you were in middle school? You could have just said that directly."

Yoshimura Hanako knew what Uda Kasyapa wanted to say, and simply added a sentence.

"One is my mindset. Back then, I still considered myself a gentle girl. The other is my development. I could take on five opponents at that time, but they were more than five."

"."

Not to mention Uta Kasyapa, even Fue, who was standing to the side, was rendered speechless.

So, Yoshimura Hanako's fighting power didn't become so strong because of Hanako's possession, but because she herself could crack skulls with her bare hands?

"That's a bit unexpected."

Yoshimura Hanako took a sip of her coffee and glanced at Uta Kasyapa, whose expression was complicated.

"I'm really surprised. When you and Fujang were kids, you were always bickering or fighting whenever you met. How did you end up together, especially in this way?"

"It's really unexpected that you didn't chop him up or mince him."

Fukie gave a cold laugh and forcefully punched Uta Kasaya in the kidney.

Upon hearing Yoshimura Hanako mention her childhood, Uta Kasaya smiled wryly, while Fue coldly raised her hand and leaned on Uta Kasaya's shoulder.

"You had a lot of fun playing back then, huh?"

"When you hit me, you were pretty ruthless, weren't you? You didn't care what you were holding, you just swung it at me."

Back then, Fue was even more of a sissy than a little devil, and she must have taken a lot of punches, but Uta Kasyapa also suffered quite a few losses at her hands.

"That's true. If I remember correctly, once when you made Fujang angry, he grabbed an iron pipe and swung it at your forehead. If you hadn't reacted quickly, you probably would have gone blind."

When that incident was mentioned, a hint of helplessness flashed across Fujang's face, and she raised her hand to stroke his forehead for a while.

"Thank goodness nothing serious happened."

"Or should I just be heartbroken now?"

"You still say it when you know it."

Fujō poked Uta Kasyapa's waist in an annoyed manner, rolled her eyes, and lightly bit his arm.

"that."

Everyone looked over at the sound and saw Higashi Mukusaburo, who looked pale, weak, and helpless.

"Shouldn't you be criticizing me?"

"oh oh."

Uta Kasyapa coughed and sat up straight, looking seriously at Yoshimura Hanako across from him.

"Vampires are physical beings. Yoshimura, you should be able to handle him, right? Hanako can't deal with such special creatures, can she?"

Hanako, who was leaning on Yoshimura Hanako's shoulder, tapped her chin and thought for a moment, then shook her head with some difficulty.

She's good at fighting ghosts and people alike; one is her own kind, so who's afraid of whom?

Beating ordinary people is no problem either; with a bit of mental suppression, they can be taken down in no time.

However, it might not be very effective against such special creatures that seem to fly and have extremely strong regenerative abilities.

Regarding this, Yoshimura Hanako spoke casually.

"I brought my equipment."

Upon hearing this, Hanako, who was behind her shoulder, suddenly realized what was happening and their fists collided.

Oh right, Yoshimura even brought weapons and equipment. With her physical abilities and her attacks, taking down a vampire would be a piece of cake.

In the parking lot, Uta Kasaya and the others stood behind Yoshimura Hanako's tall SUV as she opened the trunk. Inside, a specially tuned M16, constructed from composite materials and equipped with various tactical kits, lay quietly.

Meanwhile, on the side, crossbows and other weapons emitted a faint, cold light.

"Can I touch it?"

Looking at the weapons in the trunk, Higashi Mutsu Saburo couldn't contain his excitement and asked...

"No."

"Eh"

His request was rejected, and Higashimu Saburo could only stare longingly at the scene.

Men's passion for firearms is like women's pursuit of fashion; this passion is not only reflected in their desire for power but also in their yearning for beauty.

The M16, equipped with a variety of tactical accessories, was so captivating that both Uta Kasaya and Higashi Mutsu Saburo stared at it intently.

But the most eye-catching item is the AWP in the back, gleaming with a metallic sheen and equipped with an optical sight.

Even when it's just sitting quietly in the trunk, it's still incredibly charming.

Fue, who was standing to the side, looked at Uta Kasyapa with an ugly expression and pinched him hard.

"I've never seen you look at me like that even in bed!"

"."

Upon hearing this, Uta Kasyapa quickly comforted him, while Kayanoko, standing to the side, pouted and gently punched him.

“To deal with objectively observable physical entities, it is more effective to attack them with physical weapons.”

Incisive!

Uta Kasyapa couldn't help but give her a thumbs up; when dealing with physical beings, the iron fist of physics is indeed more effective.

A 5.56*45mm lens might be insufficient for shooting elephants, but it would be excellent for shooting humanoid creatures.

If a 5.56*45 can't take it down in one shot, there's also the .338 Magnum to choose from, which I'm sure Mr. Vampire will be very satisfied with.

"Speaking of which, your Exorcist Association can even get your hands on equipment like this?"

Yoshimura Hanako glanced at Uta Kasyapa and closed the trunk.

"Exorcism needs to evolve with the times. Sometimes, exorcists will encounter strange beings that are fused and growing with certain animals. You will find that physical exorcism is still more effective after just a little reinforcement of its soul and flesh."

I understand. One shot will solve your problem.

The group returned to the coffee shop, and Uta Kasyapa asked with some confusion.

"By the way, aren't you planning to capture him alive? I heard from Haruko that vampires are quite expensive."

“If I didn’t intend to capture him alive, I wouldn’t have brought the 5.56 rifle. The AWP was meant to cripple his mobility with one shot.”

It takes a 338 Magnum to lose the ability to move; vampires are indeed very strong.

Is any other preparation needed?

Upon hearing this, Yoshimura Hanako glanced at Higashi Mutsaburo, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"Let's scout out the area around his house first. If the terrain allows, I'll handle it by myself. If not, I'll need to find some teammates."

After discussing it, the group drove to the vicinity of Higashi Mutsu Saburo's house.

The good news is that the area around Saburo Higashi's house is not large, consisting mostly of high-rise buildings and relatively densely packed, so only a few key intersections need to be blocked.

The bad news is that there are many decorative elements protruding from the walls of the buildings, which provides vampires, creatures more agile than monkeys and capable of ignoring gravity to some extent, with a variety of escape routes to choose from.

Fortunately, since they are not pure-blooded vampires, there is no need to worry about them turning into bats and escaping.

"Speaking of which, how good is your marksmanship?"

Upon hearing this, Yoshimura Hanako, who was inspecting the condition of the firearms, put down her rifle and gave him a strange look.

“My family owns a shooting range.”
