[Ability: Demon Exorcism Body]
[Description: You have gained the physique of a Demon Subduing Monk. You can now touch evil spirits. Feel free to use Evil! Instant! Thrust! on evil spirits!]
[Weakness: ???]
Looking at the new ability he had drawn, Kitahara Makoto's good mood instantly vanished.
Without a doubt.
This was a meaningless, useless ability.
Well, he was wrong; a useless ability was merely tasteless, regrettable to discard, but the Demon Subduing Monk's ability was clearly toilet paper, only making people despise and throw it aside.
"This is an everyday world with Bocchi-chan, what's the use of demon-subduing ability?"
"What does that 'Evil Instant Thrust' even mean?"
"What kind of pervert would use Evil Instant Thrust on evil spirits?!"
"…"
Kitahara Makoto took a deep breath, trying to suppress his urge to complain.
Steady.
Don't be disappointed.
The abilities on the gacha wheel were varied and strange; it was normal to get some useless ones. The most important thing was to keep working hard tomorrow and draw out the [Immunity to All Illnesses Physique] as soon as possible!
"Speaking of which… I think I just saw a blurry figure?"
Kitahara Makoto composed himself and looked around, but found nothing unusual. The sunny campus was filled with falling cherry blossoms, tranquil and peaceful. The blurry figure beside him seemed to have been just an illusion.
"…I must have seen wrong."
Kitahara Makoto lowered his head and looked at the girl he had just helped.
The blue-haired girl sitting on the bench had, at some point, looked up at him blankly, her beautiful amber eyes wide and round, her pink lips slightly parted, revealing two rows of pearly white teeth. She seemed to have encountered something incredible, her face clearly showing utter disbelief.
"Miss, do you still need any help?"
Kitahara Makoto asked, raising an eyebrow.
"N-no…"
The blue-haired girl subconsciously shook her head, pursed her pink lips, and a look of gratitude appeared on her pretty face. She stood up and bowed, saying:
"Thank you so much just now, I'm extremely grateful!"
Kitahara Makoto: "…"
It was just helping her walk two steps; "extremely grateful" was a bit much!
"It was no trouble at all, don't mention it." Kitahara Makoto simply turned around. "Since there's nothing else, then… goodbye."
The blue-haired girl: "…"
Watching Kitahara Makoto's decisive back as he left, the blue-haired girl was slightly surprised. Then she raised her right hand, her slender fingers tucking the hair that had fallen to her chest behind her ear, and a look of curiosity and excitement appeared on her pretty face.
"This boy… is very special!"
As Miss Fallen Ojou-sama, Togawa Sakiko had met all sorts of people and believed she had some ability to judge character. The boy just now seemed to genuinely want to help and had no intention of hitting on her.
However… the ghost whose face suddenly showed a terrified expression and then distorted and disappeared, must definitely be related to him!
The story began a week ago.
Togawa Sakiko really enjoyed playing the piano alone in the music room after school.
One evening a week ago, it was already dusk when she finished playing the piano, and suddenly an evil spirit appeared in the music room.
The evil spirit looked like a girl with disheveled hair and bloodstains on her clothes. No one but Togawa Sakiko could see the evil spirit's existence.
At first, the evil spirit in the music room just followed her from a distance, but as time went on, the distance between the evil spirit and her kept shortening, and now there was only one step left.
Togawa Sakiko had a premonition that she could not be touched by this evil spirit. Although she didn't know what would happen, it would definitely be something very terrible.
In the past few days, Togawa Sakiko had been constantly looking for ways to get rid of the evil spirit: shrines, temples, exorcism talismans, salt… even things like peach wood swords, crosses, and mirrors, she tried them all.
Unfortunately, none of them worked.
There were exorcists online, but they were just outright scammers. They couldn't even see the evil spirit beside her, let alone exorcise it.
Just now under the cherry blossom tree, that evil spirit had already reached out and grabbed her arm, and the chilling coldness that transmitted made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her whole body stiff.
Just as Togawa Sakiko was about to despair, Kitahara Makoto suddenly walked over and asked if she needed help.
The situation was urgent at the time, and Togawa Sakiko had no other options. She could only grasp at him like a drowning person grabbing the last straw, praying for his help.
After the boy helped her sit on the bench, something unknown happened. The evil spirit, which had been by her side at all times, suddenly showed a terrified expression on its pale face and then vanished instantly.
"Hoo…"
Togawa Sakiko pressed her right hand to her chest, looked up at the clear blue sky, and took a deep breath, feeling a sense of rebirth welling up in her heart.
"Is that boy an exorcist?"
"Why did the evil spirit show a terrified expression towards him?"
"Why can only I see the evil spirit?"
"Most importantly… will that evil spirit appear again?"
"…"
On the other side.
Kitahara Makoto had already returned to the classroom. After sitting down, he took out his textbook and began to study silently. The reward for watching the donkey hoof trimming video was increased learning efficiency, so he naturally couldn't waste it.
His previous life was too competitive; after graduating from university, he became a workhorse, and working overtime until nine or ten o'clock was commonplace. Now that he had a chance to restart his life, his goal for this life was to refuse internal competition and live to ninety-nine without illness or disaster!
Therefore, Kitahara Makoto had made his life plan early.
Study hard, get into Tokyo University, start preparing for the civil service exam from his freshman year, pass the civil service exam, become a system person, and refuse workplace internal competition and internal friction!
While lying flat and enjoying life, he would also trick Bocchi-chan into being his girlfriend, and then bully her in various ways every day. Just thinking about it made him feel like such a life would be super comfortable.
Time quietly slipped away in immersive study, and the class bell rang in a blink of an eye.
Dong dong dong.
The sound of high heels on the floor came from far to near, and a female teacher quickly walked in:
"Before class today, I have something to announce to everyone. We have a transfer student in our class… Toyokawa, please come in."
As her voice fell, a beautiful blue-haired girl with a straight posture, carrying her school bag in both hands, stepped into the classroom, her delicate, pretty face full of indifference and aloofness.
"Hey, the new transfer student is so pretty!"
"She just looks a bit unapproachable."
"She feels like a young lady from a prestigious family."
"…"
The gossiping students in the classroom chirped away. Kitahara Makoto looked up curiously, a slight look of surprise on his face.
The new transfer student was actually the target of his previous 'good deed'.
"Hello everyone." The blue-haired girl walked to the podium. Upon seeing Kitahara Makoto, her eyes immediately brightened. Then she picked up a piece of chalk, extended her left hand behind her to cover her skirt, and elegantly wrote her name. "I am Togawa Sakiko. Nice to meet you all. Please take care of me from now on."
Kitahara Makoto: "…"
Why did that name sound so familiar?
No way?
Could it really be that Miss Fallen Ojou-sama who secretly became a customer service representative?
