"Shiraishi-kun, you're back."
Carrying the already prepared dishes to the dining table, Izumi Miori looked gently at the figure at the door. This kind of 'family' life...
It was something she had never imagined.
Engaging in an industry she loved and was passionate about, her daughter Sagiri growing up carefree and healthy, and then her husband returning home from work in the evening.
Now...
Although the person playing the role of husband was a high school student, Izumi Miori felt a sense of guilt deep down just thinking about it.
But more than that, it was an indescribable emotion.
"Yes, I finally finished taking care of everything."
As for the specific details of what happened, Shiraishi Kawa certainly wouldn't tell Izumi Miori about forcibly removing resentment from a beautiful JK girl.
It sounded wrong no matter how you put it!
Moreover, ghosts and monsters were still too far removed from ordinary people's lives, so there was no need to inform her. He directed his gaze to the abundant dishes on the table.
Grilled salmon sashimi, Mapo Tofu donburi that didn't look particularly appetizing, stir-fried asparagus, and large bone kelp soup.
It was clear that...
Auntie Izumi had put a lot of effort into preparing the meals, learning the relatively easy-to-make Sichuan cuisine dish, Mapo Tofu.
However, in terms of presentation...
Shiraishi Kawa could only say that her intentions were commendable.
One must never dampen the enthusiasm of a young wife. He said with a smile, "Auntie, did you specially prepare this Mapo Tofu? It smells really good."
"It smells even better than the Chinese restaurants I've found outside!"
"Re... Really?"
Izumi Miori's originally calm face showed surprise in her eyes upon hearing these words, and a subtle joy of being affirmed kept surfacing.
She lowered her head, scooped up some Mapo Tofu with a spoon.
After a quick taste, she looked at the young man sitting opposite her again, a charming smile on her face. She had naturally been to Chinese restaurants outside, but as for the taste... it wasn't as good as he said!
He clearly just wanted to make her happy, but for some reason, Izumi Miori's heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
"Let's eat!"

By the time Izumi Miori had finished cleaning the kitchen...
It was just past 7 PM.
The new functions activated by the Dimensional Chat Group included daily fixed sign-ins to obtain points and random rewards, and the number of members had increased to 10.
Shiraishi Kawa didn't pay much attention to this kind of established fact notification. Anyway, there were Chat Group records, and it was still early. He had to finish Hiraki Hanako's matter first, so he took Mary.
They arrived at the rental house he lent her to stay in temporarily.
He carried the key with him, so there was no need to knock. Hanako-chan, whose grudges had been Purified, also underwent a great change in personality.
There was no initial resentment or killing intent.
She noticed Shiraishi Kawa's arrival.
She didn't have time to put on her shoes and came to the entrance barefoot. After seeing the familiar figure, she controlled her inner emotions very well.
"Hanako, I don't think I need to introduce the two of you, right?"
Without blocking Mary behind him, Shiraishi Kawa entered the rental house on his own, leaving the time for reminiscing to the two urban legends.
The sofa in the rental house was still quite clean.
Once free, he decisively opened the Dimensional Chat Group. As new members gradually joined, the chat atmosphere became much livelier.
Shiraishi Kawa habitually lurked and scrolled through the chat history, but before he could even scroll, he was directly dissed by a certain Goddess of Water...
Busujima Saeko: I didn't expect that other worlds actually exist. Our world is just an Ordinary High School Student society.
Aqua: Of course. Although this world I'm in is bad everywhere, there's no sparkling wine, and I have to work to eat and stay in an inn. Ahhhhhh! Damn high school students!
Ordinary High School Student: ?
Sakurajima Mai: Please don't use a carpet bomb!
Aqua: I'm not talking about you guys! No, I'm talking about that shut-in NEET who brought me to another world!
Gabriel: Do you have a prejudice against shut-ins?
Asuna: Cough cough...
"Why are they all familiar faces?"
Shiraishi Kawa looked at the familiar nicknames in the Chat Group, and his mood was indescribably strange. Busujima Saeko in the Apocalypse World, it seemed, had not yet experienced the zombie crisis.
Sakurajima Mai-senpai, the fallen angel Gabriel, and even Yuuki Asuna, the workhorse of the doujinshi world, should have entered the Sword Art Online game.
As a result, a single sentence from the Goddess of Water... dissed most of the people in the Dimensional Chat Group. It's unclear whether Aqua's luck was good or incredibly bad?
He didn't continue to pay attention to the Chat Group's content. He shifted his attention to the Chat Group tools. Besides the world teleportation anchor function exchanged with points,
Two more icons appeared.
Check-in.
Shop.
"The style is very simple."
"It seems it's almost time to check in!"

Hiraki Hanako and Mary, who were reminiscing privately, also recounted what happened, including the forced Exorcism... And when Mary heard about the changes her body underwent after the forced Exorcism, Hiraki Hanako could no longer suppress the excitement deep within her heart.
Grabbing Mary's arm, she eagerly asked, "Is what you said true...?"
"As long as the number of forced Exorcisms increases, you won't have to worry about sunlight, and you can move freely outside even during the day?"
"Of course."
Mary, who was originally a doll, did not have the worldly concepts of modern society. Even when narrating the forced Exorcism process, her expression remained unchanged.
She even seemed a little confused... It was such a comfortable thing, why would Hanako resist?
"Uh... I'll think about it."
Although she didn't have a body, being able to move freely during the day was enough motivation.
Hiraki Hanako looked at Shiraishi Kawa, who was sitting on the sofa, the boy who helped her successfully 'graduate'. After a brief internal struggle,
A faint blush appeared on her fair cheeks.
She actively walked up to him.
Having been taught junior high school physiology, she was certainly not an idiot in this regard. After taking out the bound Holy Sword Curry Stick, even seeing it again with her own eyes,
Hiraki Hanako couldn't help but swallow.
Finally... she lifted her short red skirt, still the same place as the last Purification and Exorcism, and sat down firmly, enduring the complex sensations of being Purified and Exorcised.
The girl slightly tilted her head and looked at Shiraishi Kawa, who decided to save her, and said sincerely, "Adult, please continue... continue to help me... Exorcise!"
