Yotsuya Miko: Thank you very much, Shiraishi-kun. I wonder if you're free today?
Yotsuya Miko: The night before last, you helped me deal with that evil spirit, and you even rented me such a nice house. I don't know how to express my gratitude.
Yotsuya Miko: So, I'd like to invite you over for dinner at my place.
"..."
Facing the invitation from the beautiful girl with long black hair, Shiraishi Kawa felt that refusing would be disrespectful to her. He replied without hesitation.
"Yes, I'd be honored to be a guest at Miko's home."
"I still need to briefly tell Izumi Miori, so she doesn't go through the trouble."
As for Izumi Miori's message, it was simply asking when he would be back and if she needed to prepare dinner. Based on the current situation,
it was definitely not needed.
Shiraishi Kawa pondered briefly, then truthfully said: "Izumi Miori, you don't need to bother today. A classmate of mine moved into a new place and invited me for dinner."
"I'm just heading over now."
He didn't even have to wait long before receiving a reply.
"Okay. If you're visiting a classmate's house, and you need a souvenir, I have some freshly made pastries here. Are you home?"
"I just got home."
After replying to the message, Shiraishi Kawa didn't continue looking at his phone. Anyway, Izumi Miori had the spare key to the house. Dealing with the monsters in the Goblin Slayer World.
After mastering the Mana Release skill, he didn't have to worry about blood splashing on him when dealing with them.
However.
After all, it was a house visit, and to a home shared by two beautiful girls at that. He still had some requirements for his own appearance. He found a set of clothes in his wardrobe.
A casual style shirt paired with cropped trousers.
He planned to wash off the sweat from today. As his attribute values improved in all aspects, it was also slowly changing his physique.
"..."
"My muscle definition seems to be much more pronounced... Thankfully, it's not the bloated look from excessive bodybuilding."
With a towel wrapped around his waist, he had just dried his hair with a hair-drying cap when Shiraishi Kawa faintly heard the doorbell ring. He didn't think too much of it.
Bare-chested, with a towel around his waist, he walked to the security door.
Through the peephole.
He saw Izumi Miori, dressed in loungewear, standing outside the door. Could she have lost the spare key to the house?
"..."
"Izumi Miori."
As the security door was pulled open, Izumi Miori, holding an exquisite gift box with both hands, raised her eyes and said apologetically: "Shiraishi-kun."
"When I was making breakfast today, I left the spare key on the sofa."
However.
When she saw Shiraishi Kawa, who had just finished showering, she was clearly stunned. There were still a few water droplets on his hair, and his handsome, sunny face was full of smiles.
As Izumi Miori's gaze fell on his well-defined muscles, her fair cheeks instantly flushed. Was this really the physique a high school student could have?
She unconsciously swallowed.
She was very curious.
She wanted to reach out and touch it to see what it felt like, but Izumi Miori was still able to control herself. This was a high school student who hadn't even come of age!
"It's alright, Izumi Miori. I kept you waiting while I showered."
Shiraishi Kawa didn't mind, and didn't continue to block the hallway entrance. He hadn't even had time to put on clothes, and staying like that would be a bit like seducing a beautiful married woman.
However.
He didn't notice that Izumi Miori, who was looking at his back, had eyes that seemed to be 'pulling threads,' with shyness hanging on her cheeks.
"No, not at all."
Izumi Miori's tone of voice dropped significantly. She wanted to avert her gaze, but it felt as if it wouldn't obey her. In the end, she could only comfort herself.
As an erotica artist... surely she needed to supplement her nutritional materials, right?

Izumi Miori's souvenir was exquisitely prepared. Inside were freshly baked cookies, still faintly warm, and the scent of butter and caramel continually wafted out.
Arriving at the rental apartment where Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana lived.
The apartment was on the 13th floor. After Shiraishi Kawa rang the doorbell, he didn't have to wait too long. Accompanied by gradually approaching footsteps,
the security door was pushed open.
What came into view was Yotsuya Miko, also dressed casually. Her smooth black hair draped over her shoulders, and her face appeared calm.
But ripples stirred deep within her eyes.
She looked at Shiraishi Kawa, who smelled of shower gel, and, though her tone was calm, she proactively greeted him: "Good evening, Shiraishi-kun."
Shiraishi Kawa responded with a smile, handing over the souvenir he was holding, and said in a relaxed tone: "Good evening, Miko, and Yurikawa Hana."
"This is my first time visiting a girl's house so formally."
"I hope we have a pleasant evening!"
Chapter 31: The spirit entanglement Yurikawa Hana, is this an exorcism through the back door?
After all, Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana were high school students. As for what they would eat for dinner, Shiraishi Kawa didn't have too high expectations.
After changing into indoor slippers.
Following Yotsuya Miko into the living room, with the two beautiful girls having moved in, some furnishings were visibly added.
A table large enough for two people to study was placed in front of the French window.
The books placed on it were this year's textbooks from Soubu High School. One didn't even need to look at the name; the one filled with notes was Yotsuya Miko's.
After all, Yurikawa Hana had an undeniable air of being a scatterbrain.
Without having to worry about ghostly intrusions, Yotsuya Miko's state had noticeably improved. Her constantly seeing ghosts no longer caused her to be gloomy.
She was gradually returning to a normal life.
Yurikawa Hana, holding fried chicken and standing up from the sofa, spoke a bit indistinctly due to chewing: "Good evening, Shiraishi..."
"This fried chicken tastes really good."
"So I really couldn't resist." Compared to Miko, this energetic girl didn't worry about anything. What she liked to do
was enjoy delicious food.
"It's alright."
For scatterbrained girls.
Shiraishi Kawa had a higher tolerance. The most crucial thing was that Yurikawa Hana completely treated him like family. Chiba Prefecture in June was already a bit hot.
The energetic girl at home.
was wearing a very popular Squirtle fitted short-sleeved shirt, and Yurikawa Hana's figure, which far exceeded that of a high school student, perfectly showcased the Squirtle pattern on her chest.
And Yotsuya Miko had also brought the simply cooked dishes to the coffee table in front of the sofa. These were not convenience store bentos.
heated up and served as a perfunctory meal to entertain guests.
From the not-particularly-appealing presentation, Shiraishi Kawa could tell, but in terms of aroma, it somewhat exceeded his expectations.
Miso pork stew with radish, fried tofu, and steamed eggs with shrimp.
Shiraishi Kawa's expression showed some surprise, and he said with astonishment: "The taste is really good! I never thought you'd be good at cooking, Miko."
"I learned it all in cooking class."
She had originally been a bit worried.
that such simple dishes might not be presentable, but Yotsuya Miko also didn't expect to receive such high praise. The faint smile on her lips
confirmed her pleasant mood at the moment.
She even listened to her friend Yurikawa Hana and bought some other snacks and food, but what she had noticed so far was that these snacks
seemed to be what Hanako wanted to eat!
Yotsuya Miko didn't mind, and said with a gentle, earnest smile: "Thank you very much, Shiraishi-kun. The hospitality tonight was a bit lacking, I hope you don't mind."

As for any strange developments, none naturally occurred. During dinner, Yurikawa Hana was especially lively, and they became much more familiar with each other.
The most direct feeling.
was that Yotsuya Miko's personality was gradually less suppressed than at first. Although she could still occasionally see ghosts, the good news was... she could sleep very soundly at night.
After Shiraishi Kawa left the apartment where Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana lived, he prepared to take the elevator home. However, when he reached the corner of the hallway,
relying on the powerful spiritual vision of an Exorcist.
He noticed an old man ghost, cowering and trembling in the corner. Its power was extremely weak, belonging to the type that could be easily crushed.
"..."
"There's actually a ghost that could follow me all the way here?"
He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Shiraishi Kawa frowned, thinking carefully, and increasingly felt that this old ghost looked familiar. It seemed to be following Yurikawa Hana.
A powerful spirit had placed a ghost on Yurikawa Hana, intending to use her life force to erase the small old man's outer shell and devour it.
The plotline was gradually beginning to advance.
He casually crushed the ghost. As for why it didn't appear on her body, it was highly likely that it was repelled by the formation he had at Miko's house.
"I need to find something for Mary and Hanako to do."
"..."
He didn't continue home, but instead took the elevator to the 11th floor, directly using the key to open the room where Mary and Hanako were temporarily staying.
Hanako-chan, who habitually stayed in the restroom, slowly poked her head out.
The doll on the sofa also grew visibly, walking joyfully barefoot towards Shiraishi Kawa.
Mary was genuinely attached to the master who was willing to take her in.
And Hiraki Hanako's attitude had also changed drastically. As an urban legends evil spirit, while sunlight didn't cause her much harm,
she also had no desire to go out.
But now, the feeling of basking in the morning sun was actually warm and comforting!
"Hanako-chan, how are you doing now?"
Feeling Hiraki Hanako's current state, she was no longer a vengeful spirit, but an extremely pure spirit. Shiraishi Kawa was very relieved by this.
The most crucial thing was a pure spirit.
would not make others feel malice. Cultivating her as the apartment's guardian spirit could also be considered finding something for Hiraki Hanako to do.
"Thank you, Shiraishi Kawa-sama!"
Clearly aware that she had long been dead, yet able to live like a normal person, Hiraki Hanako's heart was already extremely content. Her radiant smile was genuine.
As for why Shiraishi Kawa had come here... she even felt a little anticipation.
This feeling of being filled, both physically and mentally, she felt like she was becoming addicted to it. While speaking,
