Chapter 12

PS: Thanks for the flowers!! Thanks for the monthly tickets!! ===== CHAPTER 29 =====

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at the girl with timid eyes before her and curled her lips into a meaningful smile.

After becoming a demon, she had become much more sensitive to some special things.

If one observed this girl carefully, one could find that her body would become exceptionally stiff when her gaze fell on some Cursed Spirits.

This girl can see them...

Kasumigaoka Utaha reached a conclusion.

Being able to see Cursed Spirits, she should be a special talent.

Perhaps she was the kin Lin En needed.

This person must be brought before Lin En.

After becoming Lin En's kin, although Kasumigaoka Utaha was sharp-tongued, she quickly took on the role.

Since Lin En needed to develop kin, she would naturally do her best to help him.

"How about it? Do you want to go take a look?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha extended an invitation to Yotsuya Miko.

Yotsuya Miko hesitated.

She subconsciously felt that this so-called Occult Investigation Club was similar to the shrines she had visited before and couldn't solve her problem.

But Kasumigaoka Utaha's words just now made her very concerned.

'You should be in great need of help right now, right?'

Why did she say that?

Did she see something?

Seeing Yotsuya Miko's expression, Kasumigaoka Utaha knew it was a done deal.

Hesitation means she wants to.

She just needs someone to give her a push.

Kasumigaoka Utaha grabbed her arm and made the decision for her.

"Then let's go."

"Eh?"

Whoosh—

The door to the Occult Investigation Club was pulled open.

"Buchou, I kidnapped... brought someone back."

Kasumigaoka Utaha stepped aside, revealing Yotsuya Miko behind her.

Yotsuya Miko timidly looked around the environment in the classroom and then breathed a sigh of relief.

It's a pure land without Cursed Spirits!

Seeing Yotsuya Miko, Lin En understood that he could harvest another kin today.

"Well done, Utaha-beast!"

"Oh?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha raised an eyebrow. "So, is there any reward?"

"How about a magic replenishment as a reward?"

Hearing the words 'magic replenishment', Kasumigaoka Utaha's face heated up, and she thought of a certain scene from before.

However, she didn't refuse, but said, "Then keep it for now. When I need it, I'll take it myself."

Lin En looked at her in surprise.

Why did it feel like Utaha was becoming more and more daring when she was with him?

But Yotsuya Miko was still waiting, so Lin En didn't think too much about it. He took out a form and said to her, "Yotsuya-san, fill out a form first."

Yotsuya Miko said in surprise, "Eh? Do you know me?"

"Of course."

A girl who can see, right?

However, Lin En didn't explain anything.

Yotsuya Miko sat on a chair and took the form.

Since she was already here.

It's just...

"Occult Investigation Club Membership Application Form?"

Yotsuya Miko was stunned; she didn't say she wanted to join the club?

"Um..."

Yotsuya Miko was struggling with how to refuse when she heard Lin En say in a low, gloomy tone, "Yotsuya-san, you... can see them, right..."

Huh?

Huh-huh-huh-huh-huh!!

Yotsuya Miko's body stiffened violently, and her pupils trembled visibly.

C-could it be... the handsome boy in front of her is an evil spirit in disguise??!

Is the so-called Occult Investigation Club just a means for evil spirits to deceive her?!!

Yotsuya Miko's eyes moistened, and she showed a pitiful expression, as if she were about to cry in the next second.

The flesh on her thighs shook uncontrollably, and it even seemed like something had leaked out.

She really wanted to pretend she couldn't see them like she usually did.

But...

She still had the membership application form she had just received in her hand!!

D-damn it!

Miko, I... seem to be about to be eaten...

Lin En stared at Yotsuya Miko with a strange expression.

Even Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but look at the base of Yotsuya Miko's thighs.

Sometimes, a demon's sense of smell is truly sensitive.

She was scared to the point of peeing herself...

She was scared to the point of peeing herself...

Lin En and Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at each other, speechless.

"Don't worry, Yotsuya-san, we are not any Cursed Spirits."

But Yotsuya Miko couldn't hear it anymore.

Or rather, she didn't dare to talk to Lin En anymore.

Just because he said he wasn't, did that mean he wasn't?

She had seen evil spirits that could disguise themselves before!

"Perhaps you don't know me, but you should have heard of this Kasumigaoka Utaha, right?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha?

Yotsuya Miko was stunned for a moment.

Come to think of it, she felt she looked familiar on the way here.

"It's actually that famous Sleeping Beauty!"

Sleeping Beauty...

Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyelid twitched slightly, and her toes couldn't help but move.

Being called this title to her face was truly shameful.

Ah, terrible!

I accidentally said it out loud!

Yotsuya Miko carefully looked at Lin En and Kasumigaoka Utaha, and seeing that they didn't show any signs of transforming, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps it was really a misunderstanding? ===== CHAPTER 30 =====

If they were evil spirits, they would have eaten her now, no, the moment she came in to talk to them.

Yotsuya Miko, having calmed down, also recalled some details.

But she still couldn't help but whisper, "Really... not Mr. Evil Spirit?"

"Of course!"

Lin En gave her a positive answer.

Seeing this, Yotsuya Miko relaxed her whole body.

"We are demons, after all. How could we be trash like Cursed Spirits?"

D-demons??

Yotsuya Miko's body, which had just relaxed, stiffened again.

She collapsed in a tone that sounded like she was about to cry. "That's even worse!!"

PS: Seeking data!!

PS: Thanks for the monthly tickets!! Thanks for the flowers!! ===== CHAPTER 31 =====

Insidious, cunning, terrifying, evil.

Playing with human hearts, bewitching, taking pleasure in ravaging humans.

The initiator of disasters.

The above is Yotsuya Miko's stereotype of demons.

Lin En said they were demons; it wasn't that Yotsuya Miko didn't doubt whether they were scaring her.

But as someone who had seen the true side of the world.

Since things like evil spirits existed, the existence of demons was also reasonable!

"Alright Buchou, don't scare her."

Kasumigaoka Utaha saw Yotsuya Miko shivering and was afraid Lin En would scare her into some kind of problem.

It's Kasumigaoka-senpai!

Yotsuya Miko swore this was the most beautiful voice she had ever heard in her life.

S-so, he really was scaring her.

Demons or whatever, they must be fake, right?

Looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha gratefully, Yotsuya Miko felt much more relaxed.

Lin En shrugged. "Alright."

"How about it? Do you want to join the Occult Investigation Club?"

Yotsuya Miko calmed her mood and stared at the membership application form in her hand.

When she first came, Yotsuya Miko really had no intention of joining the club.

But that sentence from before.

'Yotsuya-san, you can see them, right.'

I'm so concerned!

"Um..."

Lin En introduced briefly, "Just call me Lin En. Like you, a new student at Shuchiin."

"Okay, Lin En-kun."

Yotsuya Miko nodded, then couldn't help but ask, "Lin En-kun... can you see them too?"

"Of course."

Lin En nodded without hesitation and continued, "Otherwise, what do you think the Occult Investigation Club does?"

As expected!

Yotsuya Miko's eyes lit up, as if she had found a kindred spirit, or as if she had seen hope. She asked eagerly, "Then does Lin En-kun have any solution?"

If she was discovered even once, bad things would happen.

She couldn't live this heart-trembling life for even a second longer!

"Solution?"

"Mm-hmm!"

Yotsuya Miko nodded, staring at Lin En expectantly.

Lin En smiled. "Of course I do."

Yes!!

Getting the answer she wanted, Yotsuya Miko felt jubilant inside.

Finally!

Finally!!

Yotsuya Miko stood up without hesitation, bowed deeply, and said, "Please, let me return to the life of an ordinary person!"

"Wouldn't it be fine just to kill them?"

Yotsuya Miko and Lin En spoke at the same time.

But their words caused the Occult Investigation Club to fall into a brief silence.

Lin En looked at Yotsuya Miko speechlessly.

As expected of you, Yotsuya 'Cowardly' Miko.

After a moment of silence, Yotsuya Miko raised her head stiffly, looked at the expressionless Lin En, and stammered, "K-kill them?"

Those evil spirits?

Her?

No, no, no, no!

Impossible!

There's no way she could do that!

"Same as before."

Lin En stared calmly at Yotsuya Miko and asked, "Do you want to join the Occult Investigation Club?"

"Or rather, Yotsuya-san, do you want to become my kin?"

Yotsuya Miko was silent for a moment, then whispered, "If I join the Occult Investigation Club, can I... kill the evil spirits?"

"Naturally."

Lin En gave a positive answer.

Is it really possible?

Yotsuya Miko was a bit skeptical.

Up until now, she had never encountered a situation where evil spirits were killed by humans.

But...

Anyway, there were no other solutions.

Might as well trust Lin En-kun!

Like a drowning person, even if it was just a straw, Yotsuya Miko didn't want to miss it.

Not to mention, it was just joining a club; there was no loss.

She subconsciously ignored the meaning of 'kin', thinking it was just another way of saying joining the club.

"Alright, I'll join!"

Yotsuya Miko's eyes were firm.

Lin En smiled. "Welcome, Yotsuya-san, to the Occult Investigation Club!"

"By the way." Just as Yotsuya Miko was about to smile, she heard Lin En continue, "Demons are real, you know."

Yotsuya Miko paused, then chided, "Lin En-kun is still scaring me."

Lin En didn't speak, just grinned, and his back suddenly bulged irregularly.

With a rip, two holes were instantly torn in the waist and abdomen of the Shuchiin school uniform.

A pair of black wings stretched out.

Whoosh—

The wings flapped, and a powerful air current swirled in the Occult Investigation Club. ===== CHAPTER 32 =====
