Tokyo, love before they become female ghosts

As a hint of contentment appeared in the girl's eyes, the intense mechanical aura surrounding her faded considerably.

Because one of them was sitting cross-legged and the other was standing, Takuya Hase could clearly see the cleavage in her chest.

That was truly... eye-opening.

Having lived two lives, this was the first time Hase Takuya had ever seen something so round, so big, and so firm in real life.

Her narrow, emotionless eyes glanced at him, then looked at the jar on the floor.

Takuya Hase followed her gaze and, after confirming that the samurai demon had not emerged, asked a question.

"You're an exorcist too?"

The girl didn't say anything, she just silently ate the ice cream in her mouth.

A hint of doubt flashed in Takuya Hase's eyes. So aloof?

After taking a sip of water, Takuya Hase turned around and went to the hole in the floor, looking at the jar emitting black smoke and the bones.

The samurai demon had been almost completely destroyed by my two lashes. To completely subdue it, all I need to do is destroy its host, which is not complicated.

After glancing back at the girl who was clearly suffering from the heat, Takuya Hase hesitated for a moment and decided to talk to her later.

Under the scorching sun, the contractors and others outside were drenched in sweat.

Since it was uncertain how long it would take for Hase Takuya to finish, the only thing that could be done was to let the workers find a shady place to rest.

The girl took this opportunity to put her hands behind her back, tilt her head back, and look up at the sky to cool off.

Takuya Hase turned around and looked at the strange girl, staring at her bare, bronze arms exposed on both sides of her vest.

Looking at the faint muscle lines in her arms, it's not hard to guess that the girl must have been doing this kind of hard labor year after year.

However, this also puzzled Hase Takuya. The girl was very beautiful, extremely beautiful.

This short, ear-length hairstyle is very demanding on face shape and facial features.

The girl has very delicate features with strong lines. Not only is she tall, but she also has such a voluptuous figure. It doesn't make sense for her to be in a place like a construction site.

Judging by her appearance, even now that supernatural phenomena have occurred and the world's ecology has changed significantly, she could easily find a powerful man and live a life of leisure.

While pondering, Hase Takuya went to the square log she had been carrying, squatted down, and exerted a little force from behind.

With his teeth clenched and his face flushed red, Hase Takuya could only barely keep the wooden pole less than twenty centimeters off the ground.

The girl who had just carried Fang Mu in seemed to be carrying it with ease, showing no signs of strain.

The girl noticed Takuya Hase's actions, glanced at him calmly with her narrow eyes, and then continued to gulp down the ice water.

After resting for a while, the girl got up from the ground and walked outside.

After the girl left, Takuya Hase then turned to deal with the samurai demon.

The method was simple and brutal: using the broken samurai sword to smash the jar, Hase Takuya first used the Kamigane to whip the skeletons one by one.

Until the samurai demon's form became so faint as to be almost invisible, Takuya Hase picked up the bones and began to smash them one by one.

In a sense, this is a great disrespect to the deceased.

But firstly, the deceased disrespected the living, so it's not fair to blame Hase Taku for disrespecting the deceased as well.

The sound of bones breaking, accompanied by the crisp sound of wooden planks hitting the ground, reached his ears. When Hase Takuya finished dealing with all the bones and came outside, he happened to see a girl asking the foreman for money.

"Oh dear, the market isn't good right now, and I don't have much cash on hand. I'll give you two-thirds first, and the rest will be paid to you after the next construction site is finished."

With a sly smile in his eyes, the foreman held up three 1,000 yen bills and handed them to the girl.

The girl glanced down at the cash in her hand, a hint of annoyance flashing across her calm, expressionless face.

However, the anger subsided into calm after only a moment.

The girl carefully put away the three thousand yen in her hand, then turned around and prepared to leave, expressionless, under the somewhat mocking gazes of the surrounding workers.

After all, a girl appeared in the open space, and such a beautiful girl at that. Naturally, they made some moves, but the girl was too cold. Apart from being flattened, they got nothing.

"Well, now that things are settled, it's time to settle my payment."

"Alright, alright, here's the 20,000 yen reward you'll receive for this exorcist's mission..."

"Twenty thousand? No, no, no, you're mistaken, it's forty thousand yen."

"What?! Wasn't the commission I posted for 20,000?!"

Seeing the surprise on the foreman's face, Hase Takuya glanced at the girl who was looking in their direction because of the commotion.

"Yes, you heard me right, it's 40,000, not 20,000. The source of this money is simple: my hunting robe was soiled and I need 15,000 to clean it."

"At the same time, summer is here, and the 5,000 yen high-temperature allowance I need for coming here will also need to be paid by you."

Just like the foreman's forced smile when he met the girl, the foreman immediately spoke up angrily.

"I'm going to file a complaint against you! I'm going to call the Consumer Complaints Department!"

In response, Takuya Hase smiled and raised his hand indifferently, signaling him to continue.

As soon as the complaint department's call was connected, a smug smile appeared on the contractor's face after he hung up.

"Just you wait, the complaints department will be here soon..."

Before he could finish speaking, the phone rang suddenly, but it wasn't Hase Takuya's call; it was the foreman's.

"Hello, I am..."

"Mr. Tajima, after our investigation, the exorcist codenamed Morita is charging a reasonable fee. Please pay the fee, otherwise we will block your right to post commissions on the Modern City Defense Citizens section."

"What?! You didn't even call him to verify!"

"Sorry, we mean it has been checked. Please pay the fee, otherwise we will block your permission to post commissions on the Civilian Edition of the World Defense Network."

Hearing the emotionless voice on the phone, the contractor's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty for a while before he could only awkwardly hand over the money to Hase Takuya.

They have no choice but to give it to them. These days, those in their line of work not only can't afford to offend the Housing and Construction Bureau, but the local fire department is also a huge obstacle.

Because you can't say for sure which project you'll encounter some dirty stuff, and if these dirty things aren't dealt with by someone in the real world, they will directly cause the project to fail.

Takuya Hase took the cash with a forced smile, then turned and walked towards the girl.

Takuya Hase casually said, pulling out a 10,000 yen bill and handing it to the girl.

"Although I'm not sure about the cost of labor on the construction site, I imagine it won't be cheap. If there's any extra, consider it a reward for your reminder earlier."

The girl looked down at the ten thousand yuan bill he handed her, but hesitated to reach for it.

Seeing this, Takuya Hase had no choice but to reach out and grab her wrist to stuff the money inside.

As the money was stuffed into her hand, a look of surprise appeared in the girl's eyes.

Opposite her, Hasegawa was also stunned.

"Mako Yamamura."

As soon as she finished speaking, looking at Takuya Hase with a blank and empty gaze, Mako Yamamura frowned slightly and raised her hand to push his shoulder.

"It's impolite not to say your name."

Coming to his senses, Hase Takuya took a deep breath, forced a smile, and looked up slightly at Mako in front of him.

"Takuya Hase..."
