Chapter 56: Devil Contract, Activated! (Extra Chapter)

The next day.

Early morning.

At the dining table, Kasumigaoka Utaha was poking at the food in her bowl with some depression.

No appetite~

She looked at Busujima Saeko with resentful eyes.

As if asking why Lin En didn't go to your room last night.

Busujima Saeko smiled, "No way, no one can predict where the master wants to go."

She recalled and said, "I remember one time, the master didn't even come to the Gastrea world."

Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned for a moment, then remembered.

And then she became even more depressed.

That day, the master played video games with Koneko Toujou all night.

Without her knowing, the master and Koneko Toujou had actually become so close!

Could it be...

The women of the kin can no longer satisfy Lin En?

Kasumigaoka Utaha’s thoughts wandered, finally returning to herself.

Continuing like this is not a solution.

She wants to give, so how could she not be able to give it away?

However, the courage she had finally mustered...

Weekend.

Higurashi Shrine.

Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui stood under the torii gate.

"Yukino, will it really be useful?"

Yuigahama Yui tried her best to restrain her eyes from wandering.

A few days had passed since that old school building incident.

After accumulating a few days of experience facing cursed spirits, they could already handle them slightly.

But...

It’s still so scary!

Living in fear every day.

It caused them to be physically and mentally exhausted, and dark circles had already appeared.

The whole person had also become listless.

There were even several times they were scared to the point of wetting themselves!

And the cunning cursed spirits would disguise themselves to lure them.

It felt like several times they were about to be discovered that they could see them.

Ugh...

If it continues like this, it seems there’s no difference from being dead.

Yukinoshita Yukino had a tired look on her face, bit her lip, and said, "This is the last shrine nearby. If this doesn't work..."

She would have to request Department Head Lin En.

"Let’s go."

Yukinoshita Yukino stepped onto the stairs first.

On the stairs leading to the shrine, they used their peripheral vision to observe the surroundings.

"Yukino, it seems I don't see any cursed spirits?"

Yuigahama Yui became slightly excited.

Yukinoshita Yukino’s eyes also brightened a bit, and a glimmer of hope rose in her eyes.

Perhaps, this shrine can work!

After a while.

The two finally climbed up.

Arriving outside the shrine hall.

"Hello, are you here to pray?"

Higurashi Kagome was wearing a shrine maiden outfit, holding a broom, looking curiously at Yukinoshita Yukino and the other. ===== CHAPTER 150 =====

Just feeling...

Their situation doesn't look too good?

Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned for a moment and said, "That’s right, we are here to pray."

Higurashi Kagome smiled, "Okay, please follow me."

Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui looked at each other and followed.

This shrine is very clean!

Maybe!

When Higurashi Kagome led Yukinoshita Yukino and the other around a corner, passing by a shrine that looked very small.

"yaaaaaaa!!"

A terrifying screech came from under the shrine.

Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui stiffened instantly.

W-what’s going on?

Why does it seem like I heard some strange sound?

Yukinoshita Yukino used her peripheral vision to look around, and after finding nothing, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It, it should be an illusion, right?

It might be an illusion caused by her nerves being too tense recently.

Just as she relaxed.

Bang!

Bang bang!!

Yukinoshita Yukino stiffened again.

"Ahaha~"

Higurashi Kagome was a bit embarrassed and looked helplessly at the well that had been blocked off.

Recently, strange noises always came from that well, causing no one to dare to come to the shrine to pray.

Sigh!

If this continues, the shrine will soon go bankrupt!

"Um, actually it’s nothing, really nothing, it’s just... it’s just..."

Higurashi Kagome was a bit embarrassed.

She really wasn't lying.

Although it always made strange sounds, after opening it to check, nothing was found.

And nothing strange had happened at the shrine so far.

But...

People who come to pray are indeed afraid.

Seeing Higurashi Kagome’s appearance, Yukinoshita Yukino looked obscurely at the place where the sound came from.

It seems...

It really isn't a cursed spirit?

But it’s still very strange!

Better pray quickly and leave.

Don't know if it will be effective.

After a while.

The two left Higurashi Shrine, each holding a Shikon Jewel.

Then.

"It really didn't work?"

Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui looked at each other and fell into silence.

The reason why there are no cursed spirits in that shrine is because of the strange sounds, right?

Higurashi Shrine.

Higurashi Kagome complained, "Mom, if we don't solve this, the shrine will go bankrupt!"

"Mom can't help it either, why don't you think of a way, Kagome."

"Sigh..."

Monday.

Shuchiin.

3:00 PM, Supernatural Investigation Department.

Yukinoshita Yukino bowed deeply and said, "I beg you, Department Head Lin En!"

Lin En didn't have any emotional fluctuations when seeing Yukinoshita Yukino again.

Looking at her appearance, she must have suffered a lot recently.

"Off-campus exorcism business starts at 5 million yen, just have the money ready."

Lin En started the exorcism business that had been shelved for a long time.

F-five million...

Yukinoshita Yukino’s face stiffened.

Five million yen, whether it’s her sister or mother, they could take it out.

But just because they can take it out doesn't mean she can take it out herself!

Should she ask her sister?

Yukinoshita Yukino was a bit hesitant.

She didn't want to involve her family in supernatural events because of her own reasons.

But...

It seems there’s no way.

"Wait a moment."

Yukinoshita Yukino exited the Supernatural Investigation Department, bit her lip, and dialed Yukinoshita Haruno’s number.

"Oh my, that’s rare, Yukino actually taking the initiative to call her sister."

A lively voice came from the phone.

"Sister..."

On the other end of the phone, Yukinoshita Haruno’s hand paused, she put down what she was doing, and her eyes narrowed.

"Yukino’s voice... is very abnormal?"

"Did something happen?"

Yukinoshita Yukino was silent for a moment, then said, "Nothing, um... can I ask sister to transfer five million yen to me?"

Yukinoshita Haruno fell into silence.

Five million yen is not much for her.

But she wants to know what Yukino needs five million yen for.

It feels like it’s not very good.

She took a deep breath and tried to probe in a joking tone, "What is Yukino going to do, is it to keep a man?"

"..."

A silent voice came from the phone, Yukinoshita Haruno sighed, "Alright, I knew you wouldn't say."

"I will transfer the five million to you, but!" Yukinoshita Haruno narrowed her eyes, "I will find out what this five million was used for."

The phone hung up, and a beeping sound came.

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed helplessly.

"I knew it would turn out like this..."

However...

This is the last resort.

At least she can't let Yuigahama-san endure it anymore.

She can't manage the cursed spirits on the street.

At least home should be a bit quiet, right? ===== CHAPTER 151 =====
