Tokyo, love before they become female ghosts

On a sunny day, Hase Takuya took out his winter quilts from home and aired them in the backyard of the shrine.

A casual glance towards the gate caused the little black spirit to raise its tail high and nimbly descend two steps, landing beside it.

"It's not lunchtime yet, why are you here again?"

Meow~

Xiao Hei squinted and rubbed against Hase Takuya's ankle. After the blankets were hung up to dry, Hase Takuya casually pulled it into his arms and held it on his shoulder like a child.

Passing by a place where dried saury were drying, I casually tore off a small dried fish, and the two of us sat down again at the entrance of the shrine.

While Xiao Hei was eating calmly and slowly, Chang Gu delayed picking up Xiao Hei's tail and taking a look.

"No bell?"

Pulling its tail back from Hase Takuya's hand, Kuro ate its saury in small bites, like an elegant young girl.

Stroking Xiao Hei's back, watching its body rise and fall with his hand, and vigorously rubbing its head, Hase Takuya took out his phone, opened the mission app for the Real World Defense Person, and began searching for suitable missions.

It's strange, really. After the supernatural event, every other shrine was packed with worshippers, but our own shrine was completely deserted!

By delivering gobi (offerings) daily, sprinkling water on the shrine fence, and simply getting a blessing from the gods at the shrine, one can make a fortune.

Unlike me, who has to cry and struggle to find suitable tasks to earn money in order to keep the shrine running. There's no one else like me!

Thinking of this, Hase Takuya glanced at the little black dog beside him.

"Meow~?"

Xiao Hei turned its head in confusion to look at him, and Hase Takuya grabbed its face.

"Now that I think about it, it seems like the deity at my family's shrine mysteriously disappeared after you came..."

"Meow?"

"Shouldn't you and your master compensate me with a deity?"

"Meow..."

Xiao Hei clearly couldn't understand what he was saying, but he could tell from his tone that Hase Takuya was in a very bad mood.

After breaking free from her head, she playfully climbed onto Hase Takuya's lap, starting her own engine while kneading his breasts.

With a helpless sigh, Takuya Hase stroked the little black dog in his arms and continued to complete suitable tasks.

As a registered E-rank exorcist in the modern world, there are very few missions suitable for Takuya Hase to take on.

The weaker wandering spirits that even the Divine Fence couldn't withstand weren't worth much money to exorcise. In this current climate of supernatural occurrences, those things have almost become harmless!

Speaking of wandering spirits... I don't know which shrine came up with the idea of ​​inventing a talisman called "Instant Ghost-Seeing Talisman".

As long as you stick this thing on, ordinary people can encounter ghosts and monsters.

However, for ordinary people, those dazed and confused wandering spirits are basically not dangerous.

So, in its original intention, this thing was created to allow ordinary people to check their own spiritual energy status.

However, there's something incredibly clever and imaginative about them!

You know... some wandering spirits, although they're dead, don't die in a particularly gruesome way...

And often, these wandering spirits are relatively decent-looking, at least not enough to make people feel physically disgusted. Then, Da Congming put his clever little brain to work.

He affixed the talisman for instantly seeing ghosts to his body, thus activating the power of the wandering spirit that had invaded his home...

To be honest, go ahead and develop it if you want. People are diverse, and so are their sexual preferences.

But this jerk actually open-sourced his feelings and methods! And they were widely circulated online.

Many introverted men who were unwilling to communicate with girls even when faced with supernatural occurrences have finally received their own good news!

Not 98888, not 9998, just 3888 yen and you can have an instant ghost-seeing talisman!

While otaku may not be good at expressing themselves, you shouldn't underestimate their motivation when it comes to sex.

After that, a new industry chain emerged around the Instant Ghost-Seeing Talisman.

Ghost Girl Support Association, Ghost Girl Fun Club—the possibilities are endless, there's nothing they won't do...

Then, less than a year later, Iron Fist arrived...

For the island nation's government, with the current paranormal occurrence causing a crazy imbalance between the death and birth rates, are you healthy adult men who don't want to have babies but are obsessed with ghost girls? Is that right?!

Are your seeds free? Is Ghost Girl really that fun?!

Unsurprisingly, from then on, the Instant Ghost Talisman became a prohibited item on par with chemical products for a long time.

This move drew complaints from otaku, who, despite the supernatural occurrences, still bravely took to the streets to protest.

The intense resentment even caused an A-level paranormal pollution incident.

In the end, the protests were suppressed, and the Class A paranormal contamination was dealt with.

Then the government was surprised to find that their birth rate had suddenly increased!

Upon closer investigation, it was discovered that the otaku who were used to playing with ghost girls suddenly found that crafting was no longer fun, and in addition, cups had become prohibited items.

Left with no other option, these reclusive men had to step out of their homes and start looking for suitable partners.

At first, the otaku were worried that women in the island nation wouldn't like their group, and they were ready to throw punches right away!

But they forgot that this is no longer the peaceful era before the arrival of the supernatural.

Women in island nations are now eager to find someone to rely on, even if it's a little less money, as long as they don't have to face the paranormal events that might happen at any time all alone.

So these guys who used to be disliked by girls have suddenly become hot commodities.

After all, for women who are currently enjoying fulfilling lives, introverted men are not so easy to please...

The island nation's government discovered this situation and then began to turn a blind eye to the appearance of these instant ghost-seeing talismans.

There's no other reason; all it takes is a crackdown on the Instant Ghost Talisman at the right time, and the birth rate will go up again...

Thinking about all the changes that have occurred in this world since the arrival of spiritual power, Takuya Hase felt that the world had basically gone upside down.

Because if things hadn't gone awry, how could something like a ghost girl club have appeared, and how could I have encountered the human form of the Ju-on...?

With a sigh of relief, Takuya Hasegawa scooped up Xiao Hei and, carrying a black backpack, carried him down the mountain like a child.

Instead of thinking about all that random nonsense, why not think about how to restore Jia Yezi's rationality to a normal level?

Leaving aside skill extraction and such, if Ju-on were to truly descend upon this world...

Choosing a good feng shui location that won't turn you into a ghost is a very good option.

You asked why I don't want to become a ghost?

The reason it's called "Ju-on" (The Grudge) is because it attacks both humans and evil spirits indiscriminately...

Hatred without reason, I was just kidding...
