Chapter 36: Run Run Run

Chapter 36: Run Run Run

The urban area around Shinonome High School was still crowded with people, and they looked at us strangely as we ran out in a panic. We frantically headed in the direction with the least people.

"Hey Karasuma! Didn’t you say you have a motorcycle license!?"

"Fueh? A, ah, yeah, I thought that it would make me more popular with girls."

When I heard about it before, I thought, "Really now, you should be putting that time and effort into studying exorcism instead…" but it seemed like, once again, Karasuma’s foolishness was going to come in handy.

As we were earnestly distancing ourselves from Shinonome High School, we spotted a motorcycle that was just about to depart from a gas station.

I ran up to the man on the motorcycle and thrust my School for Exorcists student ID card in front of his face.

"Excuse me sir, this is an emergency! Please allow us to take your motorcycle! The Exorcist Society will reimburse you later!"

"What? Who are you guys… you can’t do whatever you want just because there’s a spiritual disaster aler– Jesus Christ! What is up with that girl’s boobs!?"

The man looked at us dubiously then shouted out in astonishment when he noticed Karasuma shaking her super boobs all over the place as she tearily cried out, "I’m still young! I don’t want to die yet, I don’t want to die yet!" After Soya gave him a blunt threat by saying, "Just hurry up and give us the damn bike already! If not, I’ll shout to everyone in this gas station that you’re a hardcore pedophile! You got that!?", he graciously lent us his motorcycle.

"U, ugh, these boobs are getting in the way… I can’t see the speedometer…"

Karasuma straddled the motorcycle with difficulty then revved up the engine.

"But, what are we going to do now?"

Soya furrowed her brows as she responded with an anxious expression.

"As long as you’re being targeted by her, Aoi-chan, all we have to do is run away. However, the problem is that once your transformation wears off, she’ll start targeting people with large breasts indiscriminately… and there will be no one to stop her."

"Those things are obvious."

I placed a hand on Karasuma’s motorcycle and continued,

"What we need to do now is save Nagumo using the remaining forces in the city."

Soya was taken aback by my words.

"What do you mean… use the remaining forces in the city? That monster, that even one of the Twelve Heavenly Masters would barely be able to defeat–"

"I’ll exorcise her."

"Huh?"

While we were running, all sorts of conflicting emotions had been swirling around inside me.

However, in this situation where people were about to die, there was no time for hesitation.

I had already resolved myself.

I was going to exorcise the sixth-ranked monster.

"Soya, could you contact the dispatched emergency team when they arrive in Shinonome? Find an isolated location so we can restrain any possible damage as much as possible and have everyone ready to activate warding restraint techniques. Karasuma and I will try to lead Nagumo there."

After giving instructions to Soya, I got on the motorcycle. I was going to ride together with Karasuma.

"What!? What’s going on!? Weren’t we supposed to just run away!? I didn’t ask to be used as bait!?"

Karasuma wailed. However, since the other party was going to be chasing us, there was no reason not to take advantage of this. Since it was naturally too dangerous to have her act as bait alone, I had decided to join her as an escort as well as help facilitate communication between us and Soya who was going to meet up with the emergency dispatched team.

"W, wait a minute Furuya-kun!"

Not only Karasuma, Soya also grabbed the handlebars of the motorcycle to hold me back.

"You said you were going to exorcise her, however… even with the restraint techniques of the entire emergency team and Aoi-chan’s combined, there’s no guarantee that they’ll be able to stop her movements… more importantly, no matter how powerful your exorcism ability is Furuya-kun, it’s doubtful that you’ll be able to exorcise a monster of the Twelve Heavenly Masters’ caliber!"

"Why are you so reluctant about this, Soya? We’ll definitely get good evaluations if we can solve this case."

"Because! When you tried to exorcise Nagumo earlier, you were aiming for her chest, weren’t you? If your climax exorcism doesn’t work even after incurring her wrath, you’ll be killed for sure!"

"I can exorcise her. In a single strike."

I said so assuredly to Soya who was desperately trying to hold me back.

Soya was at a loss for words for a moment, as if she were completely bewildered, then finally exclaimed,

"You don’t know that! Besides, how am I supposed to make the emergency team move based on such unreliable information–ah…"

Soya’s shoulders trembled.

"All my shikigami… have been eliminated."

The three of us immediately turned around to look.

A shadowy figure was climbing up the side of Shinonome High School which was illuminated by the evening sun at a tremendous speed.

Its inhuman movements were horrifying to watch from a distance.

The figure reached the rooftop in the blink of an eye. It restlessly moved around as if searching for something then abruptly stopped with its body directed towards us.

–We had been found.

"Whoaaa!? She’s looking at us!? H, hurry, we need to move now!"

VROOM! VROOM! Karasuma hastily revved up the engine as if to hurry us up.

There was no time.

"Soya, just believe in me. It doesn’t matter if it’s sixth-ranked. My climax exorcism can exorcise it in one go as long as I can strike at her pleasure points."

"That’s what I don’t understand! How can you be so sure!?"

"…well." 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖

As Karasuma continued furiously revving the motorcycle, I breathed out as if making up my mind.

It looked like I had no choice but to talk about that if I wanted to persuade Soya and the emergency exorcism team in this situation.

About that abominable memory. My past that only a few people such as Kaede knew about.

"I once used these ‘hands’ to expel a seventh-ranked evil spirit, my foster father."

"Eh…?"

Before Soya could say any more–

"Gyaaaaaaah!? She’s here! I can’t wait any longer! Furuya Haruhisa! Hurry up and hold on to something other than my body!"

Seeing a figure leaping from the rooftop of Shinonome High School, Karasuma stomped on the motorcycle’s accelerator and with a violent lurch, we shot off.

The face of Soya, wide-eyed with astonishment, rapidly disappeared off into the distance.

From the direction of Shinonome High School, a monster’s presence steadily closed in on us.
