Oh no, do they think I'm here to cause trouble?

But all I really wanted was a string of prayer beads that could ward off evil spirits...

"Ugh."

A deep sigh broke the silence of the scene.

The goddess's body, which had just straightened, hunched over again.

He exuded an air of decadence, as if nothing mattered anymore.

He casually pulled out a string of rough-looking prayer beads from the counter and tossed it in front of Yotsuya Miko.

It was one of the two rosary beads she went to buy from Kujo Toru yesterday.

"Take it. It was originally going to sell for 50,000, but due to special circumstances, I won't charge you."

As she spoke, the goddess leaned her entire body against the counter.

For some reason, Yotsuya Miko thought of the salted fish sold in the supermarket.

The third time she picked up the rosary in the shop, looking at its poor quality and the priestess's casual attitude, Yotsuya Miko felt that it was probably a useless rosary, just something she took out to comfort herself.

So she casually slipped it onto her wrist and bowed to the priestess:

Thank you so much!

Before she could even straighten up, she felt a burning sensation in her wrist.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of bright blue light erupted from it.

An extremely piercing scream came from behind.

Yotsuya Miko subconsciously turned her head away.

Under the blue light, the vengeful spirit that had been following him since yesterday emitted a thick black mist.

In a short while, the black mist completely dissipated.

The vengeful spirit also disappeared without a trace.

This thing!

Yotsuya Miko snapped out of her daze and instinctively covered her prayer beads.

"Isn't that amazing?"

The goddess forced a smile onto her face.

He had a sly smile.

Although she could only vaguely see a shadow, Yotsuya Miko's reaction was enough for her to guess what had just happened.

"Uh-huh."

Yotsuya Miko nodded repeatedly, her face full of obedience.

The priestess gave her another piece of advice:

"However, this rosary is just a prop after all. If it breaks, remember to run straight to the purification shrine."

Qingzu Grand Shrine?

Although she had never heard of such a shrine and didn't know where it was, Yotsuya Miko nodded seriously to show that she had remembered it.

I'll search for where this place is online later.

After watching the two girls leave together, Yukinoshita Haruno stepped forward.

"Would you like a fortune telling or...?"

Just as the goddess was about to tidy up the scattered beads on the counter, she saw the girl who had been curiously watching from the side walk over, and she quickly put on a professional smile.

"Okay, let's do a divination then."

After thinking for a moment, Yukinoshita Haruno revealed a pretty smile.

"Okay, thank you for your patronage. One thousand yen."

The goddess immediately perked up.

Selling spiritual items is just a side business for her; divination is her real main job.

He solemnly picked up the tarot cards next to him and spread them out on the counter with the back facing up.

Please choose any three.

"it is good."

While casually picking cards, Yukinoshita asked:

"You seem to be quite familiar with Seifu Taisha Shrine?"

"We've had a working relationship for many years, since the last chief priest."

The priestess glanced at her with some surprise, since not many people knew about the Qingfu Grand Shrine; most of them were neighbors.

However, she had nothing to hide and answered truthfully.

"Then can you persuade Kujo-kun to sell the shrine land to me?"

Yukino finally revealed her purpose.

She had originally planned to leave after watching the excitement, but the goddess's words of advice kept her there.

She still harbored resentment towards Kujo Toru's piece of land, but he himself refused to budge no matter what she said, so she could only try to find a solution from the people around her.

Upon hearing this, the goddess simply shook her head and remained silent.

Yukino was about to continue when she was interrupted by the other party:

"Miss, the divination results are in."

On the counter lay the three tarot cards she had previously chosen.

Reversed Eight of Wands, Reversed Page of Swords, Upright The Tower.

The priestess gave her a deep look: "Please be mindful of those around you in the near future."

As she spoke, she took out another rosary bead she had purchased from Kujo Toru and pushed it in front of Yukinoshita Haruno:

"Need disaster relief? Limited-time offer: 50,000 yen."

Volume 1: Chapter 25 Want to Breathe In

A very familiar smile.

This reminded Yukino Yukino of the same smile that Kujou Tetsu had given her when he tricked her into going to the shrine.

A memory from the past suddenly surfaced and punched her hard.

Subconsciously, he shook his head repeatedly. (The remaining text appears to be gibberish and unrelated.)

"Never mind, it's not necessary."

He took a thousand-yuan bill from his wallet and placed it on the table, then quickly walked away.

-----------------

The old week has passed, and the new week has begun.

The scorching sun shone down on the campus.

The sound of noisy footsteps could be heard incessantly outside the corridor.

The clock on the podium pointed to 3:30 in the afternoon; it was time to let students go home.

Next is free time.

If there are club activities, join them and enjoy your youth; if not, just go home and enjoy life.

And then there are those despicable scoundrels who will go directly to private schools for tutoring.

However, none of this mattered to Toru Kujo.

Because the strange events that exorcise non-human entities are part of his club's activities.

However, starting today, he plans to adjust his activities.

As I slung my backpack over my shoulder, ready to leave the classroom, a voice suddenly came from beside me:

"Hey, Kujo, you haven't handed in the essay that Hiratsuka-sensei assigned last weekend."

The girl sat on her desk with her hands on her hips, looking up at him with her head slightly tilted back.

Her golden curly hair was very eye-catching in the sunlight.

It's Yumiko Miura.

Yes, it's the real person, not a monster in disguise.

Behind her stood a girl carrying a large stack of homework books, looking at him nervously and hesitant to approach.

"Go find Ye Shan, I asked him to write it for me last Friday."

Kujo Toru gave a brief explanation and then walked straight toward the classroom door.

Only Miura Yumiko and Hayama Hayato, who was sitting next to her, were left staring at each other.

Even as he left the classroom, he could still faintly hear their conversation:

"Hayama, you're such a nice guy! You're even willing to help with this?! Kujo hasn't even said a few words to you yet!"

"We're deskmates, so I'll help if I can, haha..."

Even though they were in the corridor, just by listening to his tone, Kujo Toru could imagine that Hayama Hayato was sweating profusely at this moment.

After all, Yumiko Miura is such a strong-willed person; she will definitely intervene in anything she disapproves of.

As someone who had always been disliked, Toru Kujo had long ago figured out how to deal with Yumiko Miura:

As long as the conflict is shifted from oneself to the internal workings of their popular clique, there will be no problem.

It's nothing more than making Hayama Hayato suffer, and he'll have to bear the blame himself.

He carried the entire burden of Chiba City's six districts and bays on his shoulders, leaving him no time to deal with these troublesome matters.

then.

Looking at the classroom door with the blank wooden sign hanging in front of him, Kujo Toru did not hesitate and pushed it open directly.

The pure white curtains fluttered in the wind.

The girl sat quietly by the window reading a book.

Long, black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall.

A red ribbon tied her hair at her temples, revealing her long, slender neck.

A scene as beautiful as a fairy tale.

Unfortunately, the female protagonist's attitude didn't seem very friendly.

"...What are you doing here again?"

Her ridiculously cute face made no attempt to hide her wariness.

He stepped back slightly, ready to run away at any moment.

"I'm here to join the club."

Kujo Toru frankly stated his purpose for coming.

The classroom fell silent.

After a moment, the girl finally uttered a sentence in a low voice: "Do you know what kind of club I am?"

Kujo Toru glanced at the book in her hand and gave his judgment:

"Literary Club."

"Please leave."

Almost as soon as the words were spoken, the other party coldly gave them the order to leave.

The speed was so fast that it was almost certain that no matter what the answer was, she would say the same thing.
