After all, Yotsuya Mico and Yurikawa Hana are both high school students, and as for what to eat for dinner, Shiraishigawa didn't have high expectations.
He changed into indoor slippers.
Following Yotsuya Mico's footsteps, he came to the living room. With these two beautiful girls moving in, the décor had visibly changed.
A desk big enough for two people to study at was placed in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
The books placed on it were the textbooks for this year's Toubou High School, and without even looking at the name, the ones filled with notes were all Yotsuya Mico's.
After all, who could blame Yurikawa Hana for her undeniable airheadedness?
Without having to worry about ghost interference, Yotsuya Mico's condition was clearly improving, her mood no longer perpetually gloomy from constantly seeing ghosts.
She was gradually returning to normal life.
Holding a piece of fried chicken, Yurikawa Hana stood up from the sofa. Her cheeks were full from chewing, making her speech a bit unclear: "Good evening, Shiraishi..."
"This fried chicken is really good."
"So I couldn't resist it." Compared to Mico, this energetic girl wouldn't be troubled by anything. What she loved...
Was to savor delicious food.
"It's fine."
He had a higher tolerance for this ditzy girl. The most important thing was that Yurikawa Hana didn't treat him like an outsider. June in Chiba prefecture was already getting quite hot.
This energetic girl who enjoyed staying home.
She was wearing a particularly popular Squirtle fitted short sleeve, and Yurikawa Hana, whose figure far exceeded that of a high school student, perfectly displayed the Squirtle pattern on her chest.
Yotsuya Mico had also brought out the simple cooked dishes she had prepared earlier and placed them on the coffee table in front of the sofa. These weren't just convenience store bento boxes.
They were heated up and served as a way to deceive guests.
From the not-so-appealing appearance, Shiraishigawa could tell, but from the smell, it exceeded his expectations.
Miso pork and radish stew, deep-fried tofu, and shrimp and egg steamed dish.
Shiraishigawa's face showed some surprise, and his tone was rather astonished: "The taste is quite good. I really didn't expect you to be good at cooking, Mico."
"I learned it in cooking class."
He had been somewhat worried.
He was concerned that these simple dishes wouldn't be presentable, but Yotsuya Mico hadn't expected such high praise. The faint smile on her lips...
Proved her happy mood at this moment.
She even listened to her friend, Yurikawa Hana, and bought some other snacks, but from what she'd noticed so far, these snacks...
Seemed to be what Hana wanted to eat!
Yotsuya Mico didn't mind. She smiled gently and said earnestly: "Thank you very much, Shiraishi-kun. The hospitality tonight wasn't ideal, I hope you don't mind."

As for any strange developments, they naturally didn't happen. During the meal, Yurikawa Hana was particularly lively, and they were getting to know each other better.
The most direct feeling.
Was that Yotsuya Mico's personality was gradually losing its initial suppression. Although she still occasionally saw ghosts, the good news was...
She was able to sleep soundly at night.
After leaving the house where Yotsuya Mico and Yurikawa Hana lived, Shiraishigawa prepared to take the elevator home. However, when he reached the corner of the corridor...
Using his powerful "Exorcist" spiritual vision ability.
He noticed an old ghost hiding in the corner, trembling. Its power was extremely weak, the kind he could easily crush.
"..."
"There's still a ghost that can follow me here?"
He couldn't help but utter a surprised voice, Shiraishigawa furrowed his brows and thought carefully. He increasingly felt that this old ghost seemed familiar, as if it had been following Yurikawa Hana.
There was a powerful spiritual entity that had thrown the ghost onto Yurikawa Hana, wanting to use her life force to erase the old man's shell and devour it.
The plot line was gradually beginning to unfold.
He casually crushed the ghost. As for why it didn't appear on his body, it was most likely because it had been repelled by the formation at Mico's house.
"I need to give Mary and Hana something to do."
"..."
Instead of going home, he pressed the elevator button for the 11th floor and directly used his key to open the room where Mary and Hana were temporarily staying.
Hana-chan, who was in the habit of staying in the bathroom, slowly poked her head out.
The doll on the sofa also grew visibly, its bare feet skipping towards where Shiraishigawa was.
Mary had a heartfelt attachment to the master who was willing to take her in.
And Hiraki Hana's attitude had also changed drastically. As an urban legend evil spirit, sunlight couldn't cause her much harm.
But she didn't want to go out either.
However, now, the feeling of basking in the sunlight in the morning was actually warm and cozy!
"Hana-chan, how are you doing now?"
Feeling Hiraki Hana's current state, she was no longer a vengeful spirit but a purely spiritual body. Shiraishigawa was very relieved about that.
The most important thing was...
A purely spiritual body wouldn't make others feel malice. Raising her as a guardian spirit of the apartment was a way to give Hiraki Hana something to do.
"Thank you, Shiraishigawa-sama!"
Knowing she was already dead, yet being able to live like a normal person, Hiraki Hana's heart was already filled with contentment. Her smile was genuine.
As for why Shiraishigawa came here...
She was even looking forward to it.
This feeling of being filled both physically and mentally, she felt that she was becoming a bit obsessed with it. While speaking...
Hana-chan squatted in front of Shiraishigawa. Following some techniques she had learned from magazines, this time she took the initiative to grab the Holy Sword Curry Stick.
She was also somewhat envious of Mary's system.
The cute, petite, loli-girl figure could be completely used as a Fiji cup during the exorcism purification process.
"No..."
Unexpectedly, in such a short period of time, Hana-chan, a high school JK, had managed to learn diligently to this extent. Shiraishigawa shook his head helplessly.
His tone was extremely serious: "I have something important for you tonight!"
"..."
"Shiraishigawa-sama, my spirit is pure. If the exorcism effect is poor in front... exorcism and purification from behind is also... not... impossible."
"This is unacceptable!"
