Crossover anime, a daily life that begins with hunting supernatural beings.

"This is the most suitable commission for you."

"Since you can see it, you can fulfill the wishes of these kinds of beings, can't you?"

Pointing to his eyes, Sakurai chuckled softly.

"I think this lady, who used to be an exorcist, wouldn't mind giving you, a newcomer, a few small gifts, right?"

He pulled out Yotsuya Miko, who had been hiding behind him, without giving her a chance to refuse.

Sakurai said that it was more appropriate for his subordinates to do these kinds of errand-running tasks.

Sakurai knew this person; she was among those mysterious missing people.

The master of the exorcist known as the "Shitamachi Shrine Mother".

A demon hunter named Oka Touko who was quite famous in the past.

He was so famous that he even appeared on television to perform a public exorcism.

Her words...

Perhaps this will make my path to becoming a stronger assistant a little smoother.

"I understand."

"Then please forgive my rudeness."

With a relieved smile, Oka Toko, having understood the meaning behind Sakurai's words, took a breath and slowly exhaled.

Just like the girl from before, specks of golden light emerged from her body, except that the golden light completely disappeared into Yotsuya Miko's body.

At the same time, Sakurai pulled a string of wheat ears from Yotsuya Miko's arms and stuffed the whole thing into Yotsuya Miko's mouth before she could react.

The golden light combined with the wheat ears within Yotsuya Miko's body, transforming into a warm current that flowed throughout her entire body.

This is...

A very special kind of energy called "Spiritual Power".

If we were to say that it was a gift from the [Fox Shrine Maiden] who was once a psychic, then...

Indeed, wheat ears, a food remnant, were the most suitable medium for Yotsuya Miko to unlock her talent.

Sakurai smiled and looked at Yotsuya Miko, who was completely enveloped in golden light, with satisfaction.

From now on, the visible Miko is no longer someone completely without means to deal with the supernatural.

She received the "legacy" from Okazuko.

He has become a true exorcist.

After the golden light dissipated, Oka Toko transformed into her former appearance, nodded to Sakurai, and then, together with the girl who was offered as a sacrifice, they disappeared before Sakurai and Yotsuya Miko's eyes.

"Boss..."

"It feels like there are a lot more things in my head now."

After finally managing to digest all the knowledge in her head, Yotsuya Miko kept rubbing her head, feeling a bit of a headache.

She was feeling a little dizzy from the sudden influx of information into her head.

"That's normal. As I asked, she inputted the task I'm going to ask you into your head along with the [techniques] she knows."

Sakurai yawned and looked at Yotsuya Miko with interest.

"Congratulations, assistant, you can now change jobs."

"Now you are a true exorcist."

"Give it a try, put the knowledge in your head to use."

"I think they probably do, like the ability to exorcise magic."

Sakurai tapped Yotsuya Miko on the shoulder, signaling her to use the move she had just "learned" on him.

Nodding as if she understood but not quite, Yotsuya Miko made a gesture based on the memory in her head.

"Evil spirits vanquished! Evil spirits banished!!!"

With a soft shout, invisible spiritual energy flowed from Yotsuya Miko's hand gesture into her palm.

Then...

After condensing, it transformed into an invisible spherical energy blast that hurtled towards Sakurai's location.

Without Sakurai dodging, half of his body was crushed into mincemeat.

The remaining energy spread outwards, destroying more than ten large trees behind Sakurai before finally ending.

"Boss!!!"

Just as she was recovering from the joy of realizing that she could actually do something like this, Yotsuya Miko called out to Yuuto in a somewhat panicked manner.

"I'm fine. Compared to this, how much spiritual energy do I have left?"

Before Yotsuya Miko could even arrive, Sakurai, who had already completed the healing process, asked her a question.

"About two-thirds remain."

After carefully sensing the extra warmth that seemed to have appeared in her body, Yotsuya Miko's tone was somewhat uncertain.

However, she still told Sakurai how she felt at first.

"Not bad, there's more spiritual energy left than I expected."

"I originally thought that at most less than one-tenth of the original value remained."

"You are more talented than I imagined."

"assistant."

Sakurai was quite satisfied with the result.

Miko Yotsuya possesses more than just the talent of being able to see.

Her innate spiritual energy reserves far surpass those of others.

"This move is quite powerful. What other abilities does it have besides this?"

Walking up to Yotsuya Miko, patting her on the shoulder, Sakurai asked further questions.

"It seems I can also use spiritual power to imbue items with energy."

After thinking about it, Miko Yotsuya gave this answer.

"A useless ability."

"With your current spiritual power, even after ten years of blessing, it wouldn't be as good as the prayer beads you have."

"The worst of the worst."

Sakurai was quite disgusted with Yotsuya Miko's other ability.

Yotsuya Miko herself felt the same way, but Sakurai's bluntness still made the young lady, who had just become an exorcist, lower her head in disappointment.

"There's no need to be disappointed. It's good enough to have a skill that you can use."

"You need to master this move and practice it extensively."

"My proficiency is far too low. I've probably wasted about 80% of my spiritual energy unnecessarily."

"The energy is not concentrated at one point."

After the big stick, the sweet dates had to follow. Noticing Yotsuya Miko's disappointment, Sakurai stuffed the butterfly knife into her palm.

"This is of higher quality than your utility knife. I'll use this as my melee weapon from now on."

"Whether you sell the utility knife or keep it is up to you."

"I have no objection."

After giving his instructions, Sakurai turned around and went to the motorcycle. He put on his helmet, flipped himself up, and rode off.

His hunting robe also transformed into a windbreaker that matched the motorcycle in the radiance.

"Hurry up and come over here, what are you standing there for?"

Turning her head to call out "Yotsuya Miko," Sakurai gently scolded her.

"I won't sell it."

She whispered something in a voice only she could hear, then took the helmet Sakurai handed her, put it on, and sat down behind Sakurai with small, quick steps.

After hesitating for a moment, Yotsuya Miko naturally buried her face in Sakurai's back, and her arms naturally wrapped around Sakurai's waist. Pretending not to know anything, Yotsuya Miko closed her eyes, suppressing her shyness.

After waiting a few seconds and confirming that Yotsuya Miko's body was not shaking and that she was sitting firmly, Sakurai's right hand naturally reached down, and a key appeared in the keyhole as his hand approached.

Kick off the side stand and turn the throttle.

With the roar of the engine, a motorcycle made a U-turn and sped away into the distance.

The purpose of this trip...

Successfully achieved.

32. The Exorcist's First Experience with a Child and the Young Girl with Double Eyes

"Yotsugu, as your first lesson after becoming an exorcist, do you sense anything is amiss?"

Sakurai, driving straight towards downtown Tokyo, drifted past a cargo truck in front of him.

For no apparent reason, I looked up and asked that question.

Blinking her eyes, then blinking again, Yotsuya Miko, whose mind had been blank since getting on the bus, belatedly realized that there was a strange atmosphere in the air.

He suddenly turned around and looked behind him.

"If something's not right, boss..."

"That car gave me a strange feeling."

Sakurai, who was speeding along the mountain road, curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

Good, he's not completely stupid yet.
