Chapter 104: True Yukino

The next day.

Afternoon.

Supernatural Investigation Department.

Yukinoshita Yukino knocked on the door of the Supernatural Investigation Department.

"Sister?"

Yukinoshita Yukino, who was brewing tea for Lin En, looked surprised.

Yukinoshita Yukino's expression stiffened.

Opening the door to see Yukino brewing tea for a man, looking like a virtuous wife and mother—the sky had fallen!

Yukinoshita Yukino smiled awkwardly, forcibly suppressing her emotions.

After all, this was someone else's territory.

Yukinoshita Yukino took a deep breath, forcing herself not to look at Yukino, and fixed her gaze on Lin En.

"This must be the head of the Supernatural Department, right?"

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't act out.

This man was highly likely to possess supernatural power.

And...

To be able to tame Yukino into this state...

So jealous... no, so infuriating!

To actually make her sister serve him!

Deep breath, deep breath!

Yukinoshita Yukino also felt a bit embarrassed.

To be seen in this state by her sister...

"I heard your Supernatural Investigation Department accepts off-campus spirit-cleansing requests, so I came."

Yukinoshita Yukino got straight to the point.

Lin En's tone was calm. "Off-campus spirit-cleansing starts at five million yen."

In truth, the peerage was no longer short of such small funding sources.

But Lin En hadn't gone looking for off-campus requests either.

One had to find something for the members of the peerage to do.

Speaking of which...

Saeko had also reached the level of a High-Class Devil.

If they encountered a world with low intensity next time, they could totally leave the invasion to Saeko and the others.

As the master of the peerage, one should live the life of a parasite!

"No problem!"

Just as Lin En was thinking about how to live the life of a parasite, Yukinoshita Yukino agreed without hesitation.

It was a mere five million yen.

Lin En said uninterestingly, "Miko, you go."

After a moment's thought, Lin En added, "Yukino, you go along too."

After all, it was her own sister; it was appropriate for Yukino to handle it.

"Yes."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked helplessly at her sister.

Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at Yukino and then asked strangely, "Is the Department Head not going?"

Lin En looked at her with a half-smile and said, "You want me to take action?"

"I'm afraid you can't afford that price."

Upon hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino immediately said grandly, "Rest assured, there is no price the Yukinoshita family cannot afford!"

After all, her Yukinoshita family was the leader in Chiba Prefecture.

Could she go bankrupt just by hiring someone to cleanse a spirit?

Lin En pondered for a moment, then said, "Hmm... what is the market value of the Yukinoshita family's assets?"

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at him strangely, unable to fathom why he asked this.

But she still said, "About five billion yen or so."

"Good, then that will be the price."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "?"

"Wait!"

Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes widened instantly.

Could this man be playing with her?

"What, you don't need me to take action anymore?"

Lin En looked at her with calm eyes.

Like a sudden thunderclap on flat ground, Yukinoshita Yukino's breathing hitched, and she subconsciously clamped her thighs together.

So, so scary!

Ju, just one look!

Gulp!

Yukinoshita Yukino swallowed, then said sheepishly, "Th, there's no need to trouble you to take action~."

Yukinoshita Yukino chickened out instantly.

Her powerful insight made her realize the terror of the man before her even more deeply.

This man is super dangerous!!

Yukinoshita Yukino let out a prairie dog-like scream in her heart!

Yukino...

Yukinoshita Yukino felt a bit worried.

After leaving Shuchiin.

The atmosphere between the three was somewhat silent.

"Yukino, is it really okay?"

Yukinoshita Yukino was a bit worried.

Being with that man must be very dangerous, right?

That man's one look made Yukinoshita Yukino understand one thing.

Human methods were meaningless to him!

He absolutely had the ability to flip the table!

Yukinoshita Yukino was quite confident in her ability to judge people.

So, she decisively backed down.

"What?"

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned, not understanding her sister's meaning.

What problem?

She was feeling incredibly high right now!

She could see her own improvement every day!

It allowed Yukinoshita Yukino to clearly feel the value of her existence!

What could possibly be the problem with that?!

Yukinoshita Yukino opened her mouth, then looked at Yotsuya Miko, and could only sigh silently.

After walking for a while, the three arrived at an unfinished building.

Yotsuya Miko and Yukinoshita Yukino circled it and came to a conclusion.

"No cursed spirit."

"None?"

Yukinoshita Yukino looked surprised, then started looking left and right herself.

Hmm...

Although she couldn't see them anyway.

Wasn't it supposed to be haunted?

Yukinoshita Yukino complained, then raised a smile and said, "It's fine, there's a next one."

A while later.

Abandoned construction site.

"Still none."

Yukinoshita Yukino and Yotsuya Miko said simultaneously.

Yukinoshita Yukino's expression stiffened, then she said, "Next!"

They had changed locations five times.

The three finally stopped in front of an old apartment building.

Yotsuya Miko looked up, and a bloated cursed spirit was looking down at them.

"Can you see it? Can you see it?"

Yukinoshita Yukino said, "It seems this time you really did stumble upon it by accident, sister."

After visiting so many places in a row, she had figured out her sister's intentions.

It was nothing more than her trying to test things out today because she wasn't told yesterday.

She had even specifically arranged for so many places where incidents had occurred.

She probably bought them overnight, right?

While they were on the road just now, her sister was clearly unfamiliar with the locations too.

"What accident, didn't I say it was haunted here?"

Yukinoshita Yukino wasn't embarrassed at all about being exposed, but she suddenly thought of something, her expression stiffened, and she couldn't help but exclaim.

"Wait!"

Stumbled upon it?

What does that mean?

Yukinoshita Yukino said incredulously, "You mean, there really is a problem here?"

Yukinoshita Yukino ignored her startled sister.

She asked her peerage senior, Yotsuya Miko, with her eyes.

Seeing this, Yotsuya Miko said, "It's just a Grade 2 cursed spirit, you can use it to practice; I'll assist you from the side."

After speaking, Yotsuya Miko took out the Spirit-Word Distorting Mirror.

Being able to influence the outcome of reality, it was perfect for assistance.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at her gratefully, then took a deep breath, and looked at the cursed spirit with a firm gaze.

A Grade 2 cursed spirit—this was her first time facing one.

"Wait!"

Yukinoshita Yukino was somewhat flustered. "You've been saying things I don't understand since just now."

"So, what exactly is there?"

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned and said softly, "Sister, step back!"

"Ugh..."

Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned for a moment.

It was...

The first time she had seen Yukino like this.

But being shouted at by Yukino, she calmed down.

She silently retreated to a more distant spot.

But...

Yukino actually dared to shout at her?

She would remember this grudge!

Just as she was grumbling in her heart, the Grade 2 cursed spirit also discovered the abnormality of Yukinoshita Yukino and Yotsuya Miko.

It split its foul-smelling mouth and said excitedly, "Can see! You can see!!"

Whoosh—

It leaped directly from the floor and dove down!

Yotsuya Miko raised the Spirit-Word Distorting Mirror.

The cursed spirit, which had been rushing toward them, suddenly turned around and smashed into the open space next to them!

Bang!

A huge, dull sound rang out.

The violent impact caused the concrete ground to crack instantly!

Seeing this, Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes widened, and she stood frozen in place.

Although she couldn't see it, she could see the ground suddenly collapse!
