In order to repay Naraku Isayama for raising him, Yomi Isayama could only choose to bear it silently and correct his mistakes.
Although doing so greatly improved her own excellence and prevented the tribesmen from finding fault with her, it also made her timid in front of elders and important figures.
In response to Isayama Yomi's reaction, Hikigaya Hachiman just looked at her with a slightly strange look, then shifted his gaze to look at Tsuchimiya Kagura beside her.
After all, he and Isayama Yomi were just a chance acquaintance.
We might never see each other again in the future.
Considering the relationship with Tsuchimiya Kagura, greeting each other and exchanging names is already the limit.
As for more conversations, or even exchanging contact information?
Stop kidding.
Even though Isayama Yomi is extremely outstanding in both appearance and figure, it is absolutely impossible for him to have such evil intentions as soon as he meets her, right?
What's more, judging from her previous close contact with Isayama Yomi, this guy is definitely a...ahem, this word cannot be said.
In short, don't say that Hikigaya Hachiman has no interest in her. Even if he is interested, there is absolutely no chance!
"Is your father seriously ill?"
After a pause and thinking it over in his mind, Hikigaya Hachiman asked about the situation of Tsuchimiya Kagura's father.
Judging from the worried expression on Tsuchimiya Kagura's face when she spoke earlier, her father's condition must be quite bad.
Although they had only met a few times, since she was Komachi's friend, Hikigaya Hachiman decided to help her to the best of his ability.
"It's not that serious…"
Tsuchimiya Kagura said this with a dazed look in her eyes, missing Hikigaya Hachiman's gaze.
After all, after his mother's death, Bai Rui's father, who accepted him, had become the strongest person in the Tugong family, and ordinary illnesses would never occur to him.
The reason for his father's weakness was entirely because of the Bai Rui on his body and the killing stone embedded on the back of his hand to balance the Bai Rui.
"You don't know how to lie at all..."
Looking at Tsuchimiya Kagura's face which turned red because of lying, Hikigaya Hachiman sighed in his heart.
However, since Tsuchimiya Kagura is unwilling to say it, it must be that her father's affairs have touched upon her family's privacy.
As an outsider, Hikigaya Hachiman naturally had no reason to disturb them.
So after a moment's silence,
"Then I wish your father a speedy recovery."
"Well, thank you for your blessing, big brother."
Tsuchimiya Kagura forced a smile on her face, but when she thought of her father's health condition, she was instantly covered by sorrow.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine..."
When Isayama Yomi, who was standing by, saw Tsuchimiya Kagura's lost look, he felt distressed.
She pulled Tsuchimiya Kagura into her arms with both hands, gently stroked Tsuchimiya Kagura's short hair with her right hand, and soothed her softly.
Seeing Isayama Yomi speak, Hikigaya Hachiman tactfully shut his mouth and turned to look at the scenery outside the tram door.
The city buildings kept flashing before his eyes, and Hikigaya Hachiman watched aimlessly.
"Are you going to continue studying when you get home, or are you going to spend the day lying on the sofa watching TV with Komachi?"
Bored, Hikigaya Hachiman began to think about his plans to return home.
Although his reason told him that continuing to study at home would be more or less helpful for the final exam next week.
But his emotional side reminded him that this was a rare opportunity to strengthen the brother-sister relationship with Komachi.
Ever since Hikigaya Hachiman got the system, he has to go out almost every weekend. It has been a long time since he spent the weekend at home with Komachi.
"Well, I've decided. It's better to just lie on the sofa after I get home..."
Compared to the obscure textbooks, the lovely Komachi is indeed more important.
As compensation for being away for the past few weeks, Hikigaya Hachiman decided to play games with Komachi for the entire day after returning.
"Sizzle…"
Just as Hikigaya Hachiman was smiling with pride at his decision, he suddenly heard a violent friction sound next to his ear.
Then, the tram suddenly stopped quickly, and the huge impact force instantly pushed everyone in the car forward.
Hikigaya Hachiman reacted quickly and grabbed the railing beside him. Then the spiritual power burst out of his body, and he gave top priority to the elderly and children, wrapping them with as much spiritual power as possible to protect them.
It's just that it happened so suddenly.
Even if Hikigaya Hachiman's reaction was quick, in just a split second, he only had time to protect a dozen people.
Isayama Yomi's reaction was only half a beat slower than Hikigaya Hachiman's.
The moment her body leaned forward, she used her spiritual power to stabilize her feet, and at the same time pushed Tsuchimiya Kagura to the corner next to the tram door, shielding her with her body.
There was a sound of someone falling in the tram, and then painful wails filled the entire car.
Hikigaya Hachiman is in a very bad condition at this time.
According to the original plan, after using his spiritual power, he should have stood there intact, waiting for the inertia of the tram's sudden stop to disappear, and then rescue the injured.
However, what he didn't notice was that there were two fat men weighing more than 200 pounds behind him!
Feeling the extremely strong impact coming from behind, Hikigaya Hachiman had the choice between continuing to hold on and bend the railing or letting go, and he chose the latter.
Then he was carried by two tall and fat men to the back of Jianshan Huangquan, and he leaned closely against her.
"..."
The air suddenly became quiet.
After smelling the fragrance coming from Isayama Yomi, Hikigaya Hachiman felt like dying.
"Um, can you please move aside?"
Feeling the body warmth on her back, a blush appeared on Isayama Yomi's jade-like face. She really wanted to kick Hikigaya Hachiman away by herself.
But given Hikigaya Hachiman's strength, she could only whisper a request to him to leave on his own initiative.
"I want to leave, too."
Hearing what Isayama Yomi said, Hikigaya Hachiman's tone revealed a hint of helplessness.
The moment he bumped into Isayama Yomi, he actually wanted to leave.
But the two fat guys behind him wouldn't let him go!
Chapter 137 Evacuation
"Hmm..."
Just as Hikigaya Hachiman was trying to push the two fat men behind him away with his body, he suddenly heard a low groan of pain from one of them.
No way?
Hikigaya Hachiman felt a little broken inside.
Come on, you have so much fat on your body to cushion the impact, but you still get hurt in the end?!
However, even though he was complaining in his heart, Hikigaya Hachiman immediately stopped when he learned that the person behind him might have been injured due to the sudden stop of the train.
"Hey, are you okay?"
Soon, the slightly anxious voice of the other man behind him was heard.
"Feels like a broken rib..."
Another slightly weak voice followed.
Then Hikigaya Hachiman's back relaxed, and two people must have gotten up from him.
Hikigaya Hachiman also breathed a sigh of relief. He supported himself on both sides of the corner and was about to move away from Isayama Yomi's body when he suddenly heard the screams of a weak man.
"Bang!"
The feeling of a heavy object came towards his back again. With a hint of helplessness on his face, Hikigaya Hachiman wrapped the other person with his spiritual power and exerted force with his arms.
This time, he did not bump into Jianshan Huangquan again.
The injured man behind him bumped into Hikigaya Hachiman's back and quickly bounced backwards, knocking down his companion and both of them lay on the tram.
Hikigaya Hachiman turned around and used his spiritual power to sense that the two people had no serious problems and did not need emergency treatment. He then looked around the carriage.
Except for a very small number of passengers sitting on the seats and those in the corners who were still intact, most of the people in the carriage fell to the ground.
"What happened? Why did the tram stop so suddenly?"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Hikigaya Hachiman frowned.
It was because of him that no one in the carriage was seriously injured.
But a tram has more than one carriage!
He no longer dared to imagine what was happening to the people in the other carriages.
"The tram doesn't stop for no reason."
At this time, Jianshan Huangquan also turned around.
Looking at the 'tragic' scene in the carriage, she also frowned.
After confirming that Kagura Tsuchimiya was not injured, she gave a few instructions, then opened the tightly closed carriage door with both hands, preparing to go to the front along the track to check the situation.
"etc!"
Seeing Isayama Yomi's heroic feat of prying open the carriage door with his bare hands, Hikigaya Hachiman's eyelids twitched and he quickly reached out to stop him.
It's still unclear what caused the train to stop running, and leaving the train would be extremely dangerous.
"What's up?"
Considering that it was Hikigaya Hachiman who stopped him, Isayama Yomi showed great patience and calmness.
"It's dangerous for you to do this. What if the tram suddenly starts moving?"
Looking at Isayama Yomi's calm face, Hikigaya Hachiman pointed out the risks in her plan.Even he himself could not be sure whether his life would be threatened if the tram suddenly started.
"But standing here isn't an option."
What Hikigaya Hachiman said made sense, and Isayama Yomi couldn't refute it, but it was obviously not her character to just sit there and wait for death.
"Huang Quan, let's just stay here and wait for the police to come."
At this moment, Tsuchimiya Kagura reached out and grabbed Isayama Yomi's arm.
It is still unclear why the tram stopped running, so it would be better to leave it to the police.
If it is a special situation, the people above will also call them.
"That's... okay."
Seeing that both Hikigaya Hachiman and Tsuchimiya Kagura asked her to stay, Isayama Yomi hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
.....
Soon, the staff on the train walked into the carriages one by one to report that there was an accident on the tram track, all trams on the entire line had stopped running, and the government had sent a rescue team.
"Look, Huang Quan, it was just an accident..."
Hearing the staff's words, Tsuchimiya Kagura seemed very happy.
She hugged Jianshan Huangquan's arm, secretly thanking herself for stopping him just now.
"But the tracks are fine, how could an accident suddenly happen?"
Isayama Yomi obviously thinks more than Tsuchimiya Kagura.
No matter where you are in Japan, trams are definitely the main means of transportation.
For a facility as important as a tram, there must be someone dedicated to inspect and maintain it.
"It was just an accident, right?"
After hearing what Isayama Yomi said, Tsuchimiya Kagura thought about it and decided to believe that it was just a sudden accident.
After all, although sudden power outages on trams rarely happen, they do happen.
When they meet, they can only blame themselves for being unlucky.
"What do you think?"
After hearing what Tsuchimiya Kagura said, Isayama Yomi nodded, but did not jump to conclusion immediately. Instead, he turned around and asked Hikigaya Hachiman who was quietly waiting for the rescue team.
"have no idea."
Hikigaya Hachiman's answer was quite simple.
Whether it is an ordinary accident or malicious damage, the tram will be back in operation after a period of time or be taken away by the government rescue team.
And if it was caused by something else, by the time he arrived, the other party would have probably run away.
So instead of making wild guesses and making yourself upset, it's better to stay quietly on the tram.
"Is that so?"
Seeing that Hikigaya Hachiman had no intention of caring about this matter, Isayama Yomi lowered his eyes.
If Hikigaya Hachiman's reaction was so calm, there shouldn't be any problem.
After all, if something really happened, the person next to her would probably be gone by now, right?
Perhaps they are afraid that the impact will become too bad.
After a few minutes of boring waiting, the rescue team appeared next to the tram tracks.
Then after more than ten minutes of struggle, Ye Qiu and others finally evacuated to the ground along the ladder.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the three of them got down to the ground, a black SUV drove up to Isayama Yomi and Tsuchimiya Kagura.
Then, as the car window slowly rolled down, a big man wearing sunglasses and with only a small tuft of white hair on his head like a rooster's comb appeared.
"Iwata, you came pretty quickly."
Jianshan Huangquan greeted the big man very skillfully.
It looked like it was someone she knew.
"Well, I heard there was a power outage while I was chasing the tram, so I came with the rescue team."
The big man called Iwahata nodded at Isayama Yomi, then turned his gaze to Hikigaya Hachiman.
He felt a huge threat from the young man in front of him.
"It's okay, Uncle Iwata, I know him."
Seeing Iwabata looking at Hikigaya Hachiman, Tsuchimiya Kagura quickly stated that Hikigaya Hachiman had no ill intentions.
Chapter 138 Blue Butterfly
"I know this."
When he heard Kagura Tsuchimiya say that Hikigaya Hachiman had no ill intentions, Iwabata Koji nodded in agreement.
Although it is not clear what the true identity of the dead-eyed boy in front of him is.
But just from the respect that occasionally flashed in the eyes of their team's ace Isayama Yomi and the alert of danger in his body, he knew that this young man was quite powerful.
If the boy really had malicious intentions, the three of them might have been lying on the ground waiting for someone to collect their bodies.
This is not an exaggeration, but the conclusion that Iwabata Koji came to after fully realizing his own combat effectiveness.
Although he didn't dare to stare at Hikigaya Hachiman for a long time, Iwabata Koji could guess in his heart what his true identity was.
As an overseas mercenary, because of his outstanding combat experience and a trace of spiritual power in his body, Koji Iwabata was fortunate enough to be recruited into the exorcism team by the Japanese government.
But because of his own strength, although he is respected by everyone in the team, in fact his authority level is not even higher than Tsuchimiya Kagura, who has just joined the team for less than a month.
Therefore, he did not understand a lot of information at all and could only analyze and guess based on the existing information.
The family that Tsuchimiya Kagura belongs to basically represents the top psychic force in Tokyo.
As the new generation of the Tsuchimiya family, Tsuchimiya Kagura and Isayama Yomi are basically the pinnacle of this group.
But obviously, neither of them could be a match for the young man in front of them.
Since he is not from the Kanto region, he can only be from Kansai or Hokkaido.
"Someone from the Kyoto family?"
It has been a long time since Hokkaido has produced any decent talent. Iwabata Koji looked up at Hikigaya Hachiman with a questioning tone.
"Kyoto?"
Blinking in confusion, Hikigaya Hachiman really couldn't understand why the old man in front of him would say such a strange thing.
"Oh, sorry, I'm just used to talking to myself."
The expression on Hikigaya Hachiman's face didn't seem fake, and Iwabata Koji immediately realized that the misjudgment was due to the narrow scope of his information.
"Okay, Uncle Iwabata, stop imagining that. We have to get back to Tokyo."
Hikigaya Hachiman didn't know what Iwabata Koji meant, but Isayama Yomi understood.
After secretly sighing that knowing too much was not a good thing, she walked forward and interrupted Iwabata Koji's guess, then opened the car door and motioned for Tsuchimiya Kagura to get in.
"Oh, by the way, big brother, do you want us to take you home?"
With one foot stepped into the car, Tsuchimiya Kagura suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity to visit the Hikigaya family.
"That's not necessary. This isn't a suburb. There's a bus stop nearby."
Hikigaya Hachiman politely declined Tsuchimiya Kagura's proposal.
If it was in the suburbs, he would naturally not refuse, but the train accident happened in the city center of Chiba.
There is a bus stop not far away. If he really doesn't want to wait for the bus, he can spend a little more money to take a taxi back.
"Is that so? Goodbye, big brother."
Tsuchimiya Kagura was not discouraged even though she failed to reach Hikigaya Hachiman's house.
After all, her mission was just to get to know Hikigaya Hachiman and build a good relationship with him.
Anyway, she has become good friends with Komachi, and she will have as many opportunities as she wants to contact Hikigaya Hachiman in the future.
After saying goodbye to Hikigaya Hachiman, the black SUV quickly drove off the road.
I don't know how long the silence lasted until the car got on the highway to Tokyo. Then, Isayama Yomi, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, suddenly poked his finger at a wall of the car, then disposed of the eavesdropping device hidden inside, and looked at Iwabata Koji with a helpless look on his face.
"Uncle Iwata, I've already told you this before, right? Don't try to find out what you're not allowed to know."
"Yeah, but I still want to know."
"If you continue to act recklessly like this, you will be easily dealt with."
Seeing Iwabata Koji nodded expressionlessly, Isayama Yomi rubbed her soft long hair in distress.
Apart from her father and Tsuchimiya Kagura, what Isayama Yomi cares about most are the members of her exorcism team.
However, Iwata Koji always asks about things he shouldn't know, which makes her very worried that one day Iwata Koji will suddenly die heroically in the process of exorcism.
"I used to think the world was so small, until the section chief found me and introduced me to you."
Hearing Isayama Yomi's concerns, Iwabata Koji was not worried at all, but instead a smile appeared on his face.
"In my opinion, decades of gunfire and hail of bullets are far less exciting than carrying out missions with you over the past year or so. So I want to learn more about the truth of this world, even if it costs me my life."
"But Uncle Iwata, if you died, we would be very sad."
Now that she was in the car, Kagura Tsuchimiya no longer had to carry the heavy guitar case.
She opened the box and took out a katana that was very similar in style to the demon-slaying sword in Hikigaya Hachiman's hand, and held it in her arms while speaking with concern.
Ever since her mother passed away when she was ten years old, Kagura Tsuchimiya has not felt the warmth of her family for a long time.
Although she has only been in the team for less than a month, she has already regarded everyone in the team as her own family.
"Okay, I'll pay attention next time."
When he heard both Isayama Yomi and Tsuchimiya Kagura advising him to be more restrained, Iwabata Koji showed a trace of helplessness on his face.
"Speaking of which, I wonder what the situation is like over there..."
