In short, with the help of Hikari, after exorcising the resentful spirit's power for a while.
Kurashiki Reina's delicate face gradually became increasingly flushed.
Those beautiful, pretty eyes also became somewhat misty, as if they could drip water.
From top to bottom, from front to back, from inside to outside.
Hikari generally circulated the Vajra Demon-Suppressing Technique and used his hands to exorcise Kurashiki Reina all over.
Perhaps the effect of the Vajra Demon-Suppressing Technique was quite significant, as the exorcism result was very evident.
Originally, Kurashiki Reina's delicate face, pale as paper, had actually become full and rosy.
As if it were about to drip blood.
Helping Kurashiki Reina smooth out the creases in her JK uniform short skirt.
And after helping her button up her shirt.
Hikari withdrew his hand and casually asked, "How are you feeling?"
Kurashiki Reina blushed and nodded, "Much… much better."
Hikari asked again, "Still cold?"
Kurashiki Reina thought for a moment, raised her hand slightly, and said, "It seems… still a little."
Hikari held her fair, tender hand, felt it briefly, and found that it was indeed still a little cold.
Hikari immediately said, "Because your constitution is too weak, the resentful spirit's power has penetrated deep into you, making it difficult to remove completely in one go."
"If we forcefully accelerate the process with strong methods in a short period, it might greatly harm your body. It's best to take it slow."
"However, there is another once-and-for-all method… Never mind."
Hikari stopped midway.
But Kurashiki Reina, curious, blurted out, "What's the once-and-for-all method?"
Hikari glanced at her, "You want to know?"
Hearing this, Kurashiki Reina became even more curious and nodded repeatedly, "Mhm!"
Hikari then stepped forward, leaned close to Kurashiki Reina, and whispered, "This method requires going to a private place, like a hotel, to perform."
"Then you need to strip completely, then do this first, then this, and finally this…"
At the end, Hikari whispered a few sentences into Kurashiki Reina's ear.
This kind of exorcism, which felt almost like a scam and required Kurashiki Reina's complete devotion, was something Hikari thought most women wouldn't agree to.
And Kurashiki Reina, who usually saw herself as superior and extremely proud, naturally wouldn't agree either.
So, he was merely teasing her with a casual remark.
Originally, Hikari thought that after hearing this, Kurashiki Reina would either blush in silence or curse at him.
But to Hikari's surprise—
After he finished speaking, Kurashiki Reina did indeed blush.
But she didn't curse him.
Instead, she suddenly leaned obediently into his arms with a flushed face and softly said, "Th-then, Hikari-kun, just as you said, help me completely exorcise the resentful spirit's power once and for all."
"I… I can accept the hotel exorcism method. I… I'm willing."
Seeing Kurashiki Reina's action and hearing her words, Hikari was slightly stunned.
'Kurashiki Reina actually…'
'Agreed? Is this even possible?'
Hikari was somewhat dumbfounded.
Because, he had just explained it clearly to Kurashiki Reina.
To completely exorcise the spirit, it meant Kurashiki Reina would lose her most precious thing as a girl.
In other words, she would have to undergo something similar to what Hanako had just suffered through forced exorcism.
But after hearing this, Kurashiki Reina actually agreed?
Hikari looked at the girl in his arms in astonishment.
She immediately blushed and lowered her head.
As if sensing the surprise in Hikari's eyes, she was a little afraid he would misunderstand.
So, despite being a bit shy, Kurashiki Reina still explained, "I… I'm not that kind of casual person, not just anyone can do this with me, Hikari-kun, don't misunderstand."
"I… I just like Hikari-kun."
"When Hikari-kun saved me just now, he was so… so cool."
"I… I really like you."
"So… so I'm willing."
"Hikari-kun, do… do you accept?"
As she spoke, Kurashiki Reina shyly lowered her head.
It had to be said, despite her bad personality, Kurashiki Reina's looks and figure were absolutely top-tier.
Her smooth golden-blonde hair exuded an air of nobility and coldness, coupled with her delicate facial features, fair skin, and exquisite figure, full chest, slender waist.
After all, she was a part-time model. In terms of appearance alone, there were almost no flaws in Kurashiki Reina. At a glance, she was full of advantages.
Moreover, with a distinguished family background and her usual queenly demeanor at school, Kurashiki Reina's aura was truly exceptional.
So, this top-tier girl, now showing such a shy and submissive expression, was indeed quite tempting.
The contrast between her usual haughty, untouchable demeanor and her current coyness was intoxicating.
Even though Hikari was used to seeing beauties, he still pondered for a moment.
But before Hikari could decide—
Suddenly, his phone rang in his pocket.
Hearing the sudden sound, Kurashiki Reina was startled.
Although the mood was interrupted and it was a bit awkward, she wasn't that thin-skinned.
She endured her shyness and didn't leave Hikari's embrace. Instead, she even reached out slightly, intending to hold onto him gently.
However, Hikari, who immediately thought of a certain possibility upon hearing the ringtone, instantly pushed Kurashiki Reina away and swiftly took out his phone.
As expected—just as he thought.
[Caller: Miss Mira]
This morning, Hikari had promised Miss Mira that he would return home for dinner tonight.
After class, he originally intended to go straight home.
But his pure love radar detected an incident at the old school building, so he rushed over.
Then, the vengeful spirit Hanako was unlike ordinary cuckold spirits. She was Hikari's first encounter with supernatural forces.
So, he was extra cautious, even risking himself to lure the ghost in order to defeat her completely.
Because he was too focused earlier, he had almost forgotten about his promise to Miss Mira.
But the moment the phone rang, Hikari immediately remembered.
Pressing the answer button, Hikari immediately heard Miss Mira's extremely pleasant yet filled-with-grievance voice from the other end.
["Hikari-kun, why aren't you home yet? It's so late. Haven't you finished school?"], Tsubakihara Mira's melancholic voice came through the receiver.
"I… I finished school, but something came up at school, so I was delayed."
"I'll be back right away! Please wait a little longer, Miss Mira!"
"Sorry!"
Hikari quickly explained and apologized in one go.
Hearing his words, though still a bit resentful, Miss Mira didn't say much.
She just told Hikari to hurry home, or she would worry.
Hikari promptly agreed.
He knew he had promised Miss Mira but hadn't returned.
She must have been waiting anxiously. After all, it had been over an hour since school ended.
Maybe she had been worried all along.
So, after agreeing to Miss Mira and hanging up the call, Hikari turned to Kurashiki Reina, who had just said she was willing to accept the deep exorcism method, and said, "Let's do the exorcism next time. I have to go home first."
———
After rejecting Kurashiki Reina, Hikari directly turned around, quickly left the school, and rushed back to the Tsubakihara household.
Watching Hikari leave in a hurry, Kurashiki Reina, left alone in the cold wind, blinked her beautiful big eyes and was momentarily dumbfounded.
She had already agreed to go to a hotel with Hikari, yet Hikari rejected her?
Although during the previous home visit, Hikari had also refused her request to be his girlfriend, the situation back then was completely different from now.
At that time, she had arrogantly made many unreasonable demands, so being rejected was understandable. But just now, she had basically made no requests and was simply willing to go to the hotel with Hikari.
This kind of condition that 100% of other boys would agree to, Hikari actually refused.
Could it be that she, a bright and beautiful young girl, had already lost her charm?
Unable to resist, she opened her phone's selfie mode and pinched her youthful face, full of collagen and tender enough to drip water. At that moment, Kurashiki Reina couldn't help but have slight doubts about her own charm.
However, being narcissistic, she quickly shook her head, "No, no, no, my charm definitely still exists. It's just that Hikari is too outstanding."
"He must have rejected me just to rush home quickly."
"There aren't many men as responsible as him nowadays. Hikari is really a family-oriented good man, so handsome."
Perhaps love is blind, but in any case, Kurashiki Reina, who already had quite a favorable impression of Hikari, not only didn't feel angry about his rejection, but her affection for him increased even further.
Staring blankly at Hikari's departing figure, she kept watching until his figure completely disappeared before finally hailing a taxi home.
After returning home, taking a bath, and lying on her bed, Kurashiki Reina stared at the ceiling, gradually recalling the series of bizarre events she had experienced after today's exploration.
"Hanako of the toilet... I never thought she actually existed..."
"That was so scary, I actually couldn't hold it in... I peed myself..."
"Ugh... so embarrassing. Fortunately, no one saw it, or else I wouldn't be able to maintain my noble and aloof image at school anymore..."
"No, wait, someone did see it. When Hikari held me, he definitely noticed my... But if it's Hikari, then it's okay..."
"Speaking of which, Hikari is really amazing. I truly didn't expect that the person who annoyed me this morning turned out to be so powerful, capable of handling the legendary vengeful spirit, Hanako."
"This morning, I was really blind to not see it. Luckily, Hikari is magnanimous and still willing to save me. That's really great..."
"And also, the way Hikari saved me from Hanako's hands was so cool..."
"At that moment, I couldn't even see clearly. With just a whoosh, I was already in his arms. Hikari's embrace is so comfortable and warm..."
"And those actions he did to exorcise me and remove the vengeful spirit's power... Though saying this is really shameless, it actually felt really good..."
