Are you prepared for evil spirits?
In the small campground where this commonplace sign was installed, everyone fell into a panic. College summer vacation. BBQ at a campsite. Lively banter between men and women.
It wasn’t until just a few minutes ago that they were enjoying this truly picturesque summer scene.
"Die riajuus!"
Cooler boxes full of food were shattered, tables were smashed, and meat grills were thrown into a nearby tent, creating a large fire.
"Holy shit! That’s not normal!"
One of the men shouts while running way.
"You think I’m going to let you get away?!?
Chasing them was a woman who had been enjoying the camp with them earlier.
Her eyes were bloodshot and unfocused as she doggedly pursued the men, not caring about her hands which were injured when destroying the camping equipment with absurd force. She held a knife in her hand and it was clearer than the fire what would happen if she caught up with them.
"This is why I told you to bring not only insect repellent but also bear repellant and talismans!"
"That’s because it’s expensive! Besides, who would’ve thought that this would actually happen!"
The men scattered about and screamed to drown out their fears as they ran away from the armed woman with all their strength.
"Well, in a situation like this, what’s the number to call, 110?… or is it 119?!"
"Idiot! That’s for the police and EMS! At times like this… what’s the church’s number again?"
"Even if we report the situation to them now, they’re not going to arrive in time!"
The woman who was being manipulated by something inhuman was about to catch up to them.
In terms of sheer physical strength, the men were stronger. However, the woman seemed to not have any regard for her own physical limitations as she pursued them. The students had no choice but to hide somewhere or barricade themselves inside the administration building located some distance away and wait for the storm to pass. However-
"Whoa!?"
One of the men tangled his feet and tumbled to the ground.
"Die riajuu!"
The woman swung her knife down and made a shriek that couldn’t have possibly come from a living person.
"Whoaaaaaaa!?"
While still feeling utterly perplexed by the circumstances, the man resolved himself for death.
Gadzun!
A dull thud resounded and standing between the woman who swung the knife and the man who had fallen was a boy.
"Oh, shit!"
The boy who had intercepted the knife with his bare hands as if it was only natural to do appeared to be a high school student.
"I barely made it… if it wasn’t a second grade spirit, casualties would have already appeared long ago."
While the men were dumbfounded, the boy muttered grumpily while wiping off cold sweat.
"Hey Karasuma! You can see her face right?"
The boy called out to someone in the darkness. f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮
"…!?"
The woman who was holding the knife twisted her body as if she was being hoisted up by something, her expression anguished. It was as if something invisible was restricting her body’s movements.
"You, you guys…"
While feeling disbelieving of the paranormal phenomena that was unfolding in front of them, the men realized the identity of the boy who had suddenly appeared.
Exorcist.
It is the name given to those who have been specially trained to fight against spiritual beings that inflict harm on people.
The school uniform that the boy wears is supposedly from a famous school of training. Although only students, their skills are similar to those of professionals and as a result, their activities are often covered by the media.
I don’t know why the demon was here even though I didn’t report it, but it has helped anyway. That’s when the men were relieved.
It was unknown how the exorcists came to be here even though no one had filed a report yet but nevertheless, their arrival was greatly appreciated. Just when the men were feeling relieved-
"Whoa!? What’s going on!?"
The eyes of the men were suddenly covered and they couldn’t see anything.
Something clung to their faces and both of their ears were also crudely plugged.
"Do it now Furuya-kun! I’ve covered their eyes and ears so you can use climax exorcism now!"
"Idiot! Stop speaking so loudly Soya!"
Such an exchange was faintly heard, and then-
"Nhooooooooo!?"
An unnaturally coquettish voice rang out.
"Really now, what climax exorcism… truly a worthless curse…"
The voice of the boy sounded fed-up.
And then for a moment. For just a brief moment, one man’s eyes were briefly uncovered, revealing an unbelievable sight.
A transparent woman emerged from the body of the woman who had been clutching the knife earlier and dispersed into the air with an ecstatic expression on her face.
It was surely a scene worthy of being called an ascension. However, the state of the woman whose whole body was convulsing with liquid dripping from her lower body was quite unbefitting… the holy ambience of an ascension.
What on earth was happening here? Had that really been an exorcism?
The man was not very knowledgeable about the exorcism profession and had no idea.
