Hmm? Could it be that the three pawns, Hienma, Yamamura Kikuko, and Shimizu Suzune, are about to have a historic meeting?

Wait a minute, Makoto Araki has now discovered something particularly interesting through Kikuko Yamamura's perspective.

Near the subway station, a young woman in a floral dress fled the station in a disheveled state. Because she was looking back without looking forward, she bumped straight into Kikuko Yamamura.

Young woman.

It refers to a young married woman.

However, according to formal terms, Jun Morita, who is not yet married, can at most be considered an older single woman, and cannot be called a young married woman.

Jun Morita's body was very light, and when he bumped into the petite Kikuko Yamamura, it was like hitting a wall. After the collision, it was Jun Morita who was bleeding from his head and fell to the ground.

Kikuko Yamamura looked down in surprise, her eyes glowing red as she glared fiercely at Jun Morita, who had bumped into her.

"Private Marseille!" Jun Morita had never seen anything like this before. But no matter what, he had to apologize first! As for the blood on his forehead, he could ignore it for now; someone was committing a crime in the subway!

After apologizing, he ran away!

"stop!"

Kikuko Yamamura grabbed Jun Morita, who was trying to escape, and pulled her to the ground. Then she raised her foot and stepped on Jun's foot, stomping on it hard!

Kikuko Yamamura glared at Jun Morita and said fiercely, "You think you can just run away after apologizing? What's the point of having police then?"

"Aaaaaah!" Morita Jun screamed in agony, immediately drawing a crowd of onlookers.

However, a tragedy is unfolding in the subway station right now, so few people are in the mood to watch the show. They only watched for a short while before slinking away.

In their eyes, this disheveled girl, who looked like a homeless woman, was many times more terrifying than the ghosts in the subway station!

No one dared to lend a helping hand.

Everyone was either married, too young, or a woman; no one was willing to stand up for Jun Morita!

Some people, who merely glanced at the area as they passed by, were attacked by telephone poles, or by various objects such as "car missiles" and "motorcycle missiles," which Kikuko Yamamura could easily pick up and throw away.

Those who passed by were in a terrible state; they lay in pools of blood, unable to move for a long time, and no one dared to come forward to help.

Once she was sure no one dared to look, Kikuko Yamamura turned her head and grinned maliciously at Jun Morita at her feet, saying:

"As an apology, I'll break one of your legs first, okay?!"

"No, please! Please spare me! I'm an only child, and my parents are waiting for me to take care of them!" Even in extreme pain, Jun Morita still struggled and begged for mercy.

Just when she felt despair, a voice descended like a god, igniting hope in her heart!

"That's enough!"

Shinto priest Akihiko Noguchi, who had already run out of the subway station, stood a dozen meters away and offered his help.

Noguchi Akihiko gripped a handful of beans tightly as he moved closer to Yamamura Kikuko, ready to scatter the beans at any moment!

Kikuko Yamamura glanced at him, but only for a moment before turning her gaze back to Jun Morita.

This wasn't because she was magnanimous, but because she had nothing else to throw at the moment, so she decided to deal with Morita Jun first, such as dislocating her legs and then using them to smash the man.

Jun Morita was in so much pain from having her legs stepped on that she couldn't see who was rescuing her.

On the other side, because Kikuko Yamamura underestimated her opponent and was focused on torturing Jun Morita at her feet, she did not notice that Akihiko Noguchi had quietly approached her!

Upon getting close, Akihiko Noguchi grabbed a handful of beans and threw them at Kikuko Yamamura's face and neck without saying a word!

The two were so close that when the beans hit Kikuko Yamamura's face, some of them slid down her cheeks, down to her neck and collarbone, and started to smoke.

Yes, it's smoking!

When these exorcising beans touched Kikuko Yamamura, they were like red-hot steel balls falling onto ice, emitting billowing white smoke!

"Ahhhh!"

This time it was finally Kikuko Yamamura's turn to scream. The skin on her face, collarbone, and even her neck melted, as if she had been exposed to strong sulfuric acid. In an instant, she was left completely disfigured, revealing her bare bones. Even one of her eyeballs was melted by the bean!

Kikuko Yamamura covered her face in shock with both hands, at least this way it wasn't so painful.

Seeing that Kikuko Yamamura was being forcibly controlled, Akihiko Noguchi began to act in a serious manner, imitating the shrine maiden's previous commands to him, and ordered Jun Morita, "Why aren't you running away?!"

Finally, it's my turn to be the main character! After being a loser for so long, I, Akihiko Noguchi, am finally experiencing the glory of a priest!

"Thank you!" Jun Morita had so much to say, but all she could say was "thank you!"

Her leg was only stepped on a few times, and the injury was not very serious, so she was able to walk with difficulty after standing up.

Under Akihiko Noguchi's watchful eye, Jun Morita limped away from Kikuko Yamamura's clutches.

As Jun Morita left, Akihiko Noguchi gradually retreated, shifting to a defensive stance and maintaining a certain distance from Kikuko Yamamura.

The opponent recovered quickly. Before Noguchi Akihiko could even take a few steps back, the demon had already come to its senses, raised its head with only half a face, and grinned!

Chapter 24 The Death of the Priest

Is it scary?

very horrible!

At this point, Akihiko Noguchi was trembling with fear! He didn't even know if he would make it back alive!

He gripped the last handful of beans tightly, pondering whether to launch a single attack or conserve them and launch two attacks.

Akihiko Noguchi looked around.

When he escaped from the subway station, he was already observing his surroundings and noticed that there were many tall buildings and a large flow of people in the vicinity.

So even outside the subway station, there's a flying demon attacking passersby, but it probably doesn't realize it's attacking anyone.

Akihiko Noguchi also discovered that because the subway station is Asakusa Station, which is located near Senso-ji Temple, there are more shrines in the vicinity than in any other place.

Not to mention the large shrines, there are countless mini shrines with only one shrine lined up outside subway stations!

But what use are there to so many shrines? Noguchi Akihiko had already stopped believing in ghosts and spirits before.

It was the exorcism beans given to him by the priestess that rekindled his faith and made him believe in the divine way again!

He just passed by a shrine and prayed at each one, hoping that if there are gods in the world, they can save humanity!

He prostrated himself along these shrines and then discovered Jun Morita, who had been attacked by Kikuko Yamamura, confirming that Kikuko Yamamura, who was both powerful and aggressive, was not human.

So when Akihiko Noguchi discovered that beans were effective and very effective for Kikuko Yamamura, he felt incredibly proud of himself!

But seeing Kikuko Yamamura recover quickly and even grin from ear to ear, Akihiko Noguchi trembled with fear again!

He only has two beans at most. Once he runs out of ammunition and food, death awaits him.

Closer to home.

As Kikuko Yamamura approached, Akihiko Noguchi retreated step by step, clutching the exorcism beans in his pocket, ready to retaliate at any moment.

Logically speaking, Kikuko Yamamura's injuries should have been quite serious, but her sinister smile now makes Akihiko Noguchi wonder how long he can keep her under control with the next round of beans!

"You, you stop right there! If you don't stop, I'll scatter beans!" Noguchi Akihiko's throat bobbed, his pupils dilating wildly!

An unprecedented pressure pressed down coldly on Noguchi Akihiko's chest, making him feel like he couldn't breathe.

The distance between the two kept shrinking!

Five meters!

Four meters!

Three meters!

Noguchi Akihiko is now only a few steps away from Yamamura Kikuko, but he dares not launch an attack!

This is no joke!

One mistake and it's all over!

In contrast, his opponent recovered quickly after being injured, and his strength was far inferior to that of Akihiko Noguchi!

In this tense situation, Kikuko Yamamura suddenly kicked her right foot hard, shooting it like a cannonball at Akihiko Noguchi!

Noguchi Akihiko seized the opportunity and threw all the beans at Yamamura Kikuko's face!

In Noguchi Akihiko's view, at such a short distance, she couldn't possibly dodge!

Indeed, by the time Yamamura Kikuko realized what was happening, the exorcism beans were about to hit her face, and if nothing unexpected happened, half of her face would be "disfigured".

Noguchi Akihiko was overjoyed, as if he could declare victory even if the bean hadn't hit the target!

The next second, Kikuko Yamamura raised her hand to deflect all the exorcism beans that were being thrown at her face, and the remaining beans landed on her neck and above her collarbone.

Suddenly, the cold night wind was filled with the strong smell of roasted meat, and Kikuko Yamamura's skin was once again burning.

But so what?

Kikuko Yamamura, enduring the pain in her hands and body, rushed to the middle-aged priest with a dangerous smile.

Then, before the middle-aged priest could have any other thoughts, he heard Death's pronouncement in a low voice: "Go to hell."

Suddenly, Kikuko Yamamura raised her foot and leaped up, kicking the middle-aged priest's head so hard it exploded like a watermelon!

The headless priest collapsed to the ground without any further struggle.

Glug glug.

From the shattered head, a bloodshot eyeball rolled off. Although it was no longer in its socket, one could still feel the fear hidden deep within it!

On one side of the eyeball, a few beans that had hit the ghost but bounced back fell and piled up with the eyeball.

Kikuko Yamamura landed slowly, showing no regard for the priest whose head had been blown off, and then left the scene on her own.

This scene, of course, was witnessed by Makoto Araki, who was shocked to the core.

His shock was not fear.

Rather, he seems to have been overestimating Noguchi Akihiko all along, especially after Noguchi acquired the beans, he held him in even higher regard.

They even thought he might be able to beat Yamamura Kikuko. If that were the case, then he could at least be considered a passable tool.

Originally, Makoto Araki was so excited by the scene that he even wanted to give the priest some small items for self-defense!

What a pity! What a pity!

Things happened so fast that even after he used his exorcism beans, he still couldn't avoid having his head kicked open by Kikuko Yamamura!

So, with the battle raging on the ground above the subway station, what exactly is Shimizu Suzune doing? Is she dead?
