After hearing the truth.
Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana both looked heavy.
They dared not go to the shrine anymore.
Starting next year, every year's traditional New Year's visit, they had to find reasons not to go.
"By the way, Yotsuya, are you interested in working here?" Higashi no Masa extended an invitation to her.
"Me?" Yotsuya Miko was surprised.
"That's right, you can see ghosts, and you have the potential to deal with paranormal events. Moreover, since you can 'see', you are destined to avoid paranormal existence, so it's better to plan ahead." Higashi no Masa said.
Yotsuya Miko was moved.
Higashi no Masa was right. She could see ghosts. She was destined to be unable to live like an ordinary person, carefree and without a care. She would inevitably deal with ghosts in the days to come.
Since this was the case, it was better to adapt early.
Right now, wasn't there a strong thigh in front of her?
"Okay, I'll do it!"
Yotsuya Miko answered decisively, deciding to firmly cling to Higashi no Masa's thigh.
This administrator, who could kill terrifying ghosts, was a powerful being. Following him would surely be safe and worry-free!
"Okay, I'll send you some information. On the surface, you'll be working as an editor for a paranormal website, but you'll actually be dealing with paranormal related matters." Higashi no Masa took out his phone and said, "Add me on LINE."
"Yurikawa, add me too. If you are interested, you can also be a clerical staff."
"Before you graduate, you'll be working as a part-timer. After graduation, you can officially join the company."
The two girls nodded like little chicks pecking at rice.
They took out their phones and added Higashi no Masa on LINE and called him.
It wasn't just Yotsuya Miko.
Yurikawa Hana also decided to cling to Higashi no Masa's thigh.
After all, the strong are always followed by others.
"That's all for today. I'll send you back." Higashi no Masa said, "If you have time tomorrow, you can visit the workplace. It's on the fourth floor of the building in **District**."
"Yes!" *2
The two girls nodded obediently.
From this moment, Higashi no Masa was their boss.
……
……
Back home.
Yotsuya Miko didn't even put down her schoolbag, she rushed to the balcony and looked around.
After scanning the area, a smile spread across her face.
"Sure enough, there's not a single one!"
As far as Yotsuya Miko's eyes could see, she couldn't find a single ghost.
After being threatened by Higashi no Masa, the ghosts around were restrained, not allowed to enter this area.
"Finally, I can sleep soundly!" Yotsuya Miko said to herself happily.
Ever since she could see ghosts, she had been on edge at home.
The appearance of ghosts was always unexpected.
It could be that she was washing her face, and when she looked up, there was a ghost standing behind her, staring at her through the mirror.
Yotsuya Miko had been scared many times.
Fortunately, she was quite talented in being expressionless, so she never exposed herself.
But in the long run, she was nearing her limit.
"Ah, it feels so good to be at ease."
Yotsuya Miko enjoyed the breeze on the balcony until the sun went down, then reluctantly went back into the house.
In the dining room.
Mother had prepared dinner.
"I'll start."
She sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and said while eating, "Mom, Kyouji, I found a pretty good part-time job."
"Part-time job?" Mom and her younger brother, Kyouji, looked up in surprise.
【Part-time job?】
Her father, who had died and become a soul, looked surprised nearby.
That's right.
In Yotsuya Miko's home, the soul of her deceased father wandered.
He hadn't been able to achieve Buddhahood because he couldn't bear to leave his family behind.
"Yeah, yeah. I sometimes write paranormal stories online, and they liked my stories and invited me to be an editor." Yotsuya Miko smoothly fabricated a lie, "The company's controlling shareholder is a company from the Yukinoshita family."
"Yukinoshita?" Mom was even more surprised, "Is it the famous Yukinoshita family?"
"Yes, it seems to be the Yukinoshita family. They're trying to enter the entertainment industry with paranormal themes." Yotsuya Miko said in an orderly manner.
Mom and younger brother Kyouji immediately believed her.
Yotsuya Miko's understanding was clear, at least she wouldn't be fooled.
【The Yukinoshita family started as a real estate company, but their development has reached its limit. It's reasonable to enter other fields.】Father nodded repeatedly.
Whether it was her living family or her deceased family.
They all approved of Yotsuya Miko's part-time job.
"They said that during high school I'll be mainly doing part-time work, and after graduation, I'll join as a full-time employee." Yotsuya Miko said with a smile.
"That's great!" Mom clapped her hands in delight.
University tuition in Japan is incredibly expensive.
Many people choose not to go to university, or go to an adult university, and then work directly.
Yotsuya Miko was the same.
But it was rare for a high school graduate to find a good job.
It was much better for Yotsuya Miko to be an editor at a big company. Even graduates from top universities wouldn't necessarily be like this.
【That's great, Miko. You've grown up.】
Father was so moved that he shed tears. He wiped his eyes while golden light shone on him.
【This way, Dad can finally rest assured.】
Whoosh!
After saying that, Father disappeared in the golden light.
Huh?
Yotsuya Miko was stunned. She looked over in disbelief and thought, 'Is this achieving Buddhahood?'.
She never expected that just the fact that she found a job.
Would allow her father to let go of his attachment and achieve Buddhahood and pass on.
'Really, he was so worried that I wouldn't find a job in the future?' Yotsuya Miko sighed softly, feeling both happy and sad.
……
……
Night fell.
Hiratzuka Shizuka's house.
"My strength has increased a lot." Higashi no Masa exhaled softly.
Whew!
His breath was like white waves spewing out, condensed like a pillar of smoke, drifting in the air for a long time before slowly dissipating.
Not only that.
Higashi no Masa's body had become more sturdy.
Broad shoulders, a strong back, piercing eyes...
His muscles all bulged like steel, hard and defined.
"Almost at max level."
Higashi no Masa looked at the empty space in front of him, calling out his personal panel in his heart.
——

Level: 16

Higashi no Masa looked at the panel and nodded slightly.
When he helped Yotsuya Miko, he unleashed one [Wonders]. The shockwave of the explosion killed hundreds of ghosts.
A large amount of experience points poured in, pushing him from Level 9 to Level 16 in one go!
And he gained 7 skill points!
