I have an infinite number of shikigami-Chapter 40 - 38. Besides Fujiwara Reya, it’s impossible for someone else to be that handsome!

Chapter 40: 38. Besides Fujiwara Reya, it’s impossible for someone else to be that handsome!

"Master Fujiwara is here."

Inspector Suzuki’s face lit up.

Upon hearing this name, Ito Tatsushi’s expression turned cold, and he immediately wanted to show the Asakusa Boy his might.

But someone was even quicker than him.

Inspector Suzuki flashed enthusiastically and went up to greet him.

"Oh my~~"

"Little wizard, you finally came, I’ve been waiting for a long time and was getting quite anxious."

"Are you hungry? Thirsty? I’ve prepared some food and drinks, little wizard, come over here and rest a bit, replenish your energy, and then we’ll rid the world of evil together!"

Ito Tatsushi stood dumbfounded, his face turning black and green.

This guy was buttering him up just now, and now he’s running off to fawn over someone else right in front of him, giving him a feeling of being NTRed.

Ah—

So infuriating—

Ito Tatsushi took several deep breaths, forcing his expression to become stern.

He stayed where he was, hands behind his back, gazing in the direction Honda Cub was arriving from, maintaining the aura of a master.

Honda Cub approached.

There seemed to be a witch on the back seat.

The two paid no attention to Inspector Suzuki, who was chattering on while chasing the car. Instead, they talked like a couple, saying things that sounded like flirting to outsiders.

"Hurry up, Asuka can’t wait to see senpai perform!"

"Can you stop calling yourself ’Asuka’?"

"Why?"

"It sounds like you’re pretending to be cute."

"Asuka is naturally cute, does she need to pretend?"

"... Stop being narcissistic."

"Senpai, won’t you sing for Asuka?"

"I won’t sing!"

"Then how about Asuka sings for senpai?"

"I won’t listen!"

"Pipala pipala ba ba bala ba~~"

"Huh?"

"It’s Chibi Maruko-chan, isn’t it cute?"

"Shut up!"

"Dadadadada~~"

Asuka?

The name sounded a bit familiar.

Honda Cub slowly stopped at the site entrance.

Ito Tatsushi’s indifferent gaze swept across Kasahara Asuka’s face...

In the next second.

His pupils constricted dramatically.

His expression was dazed, his features stiff, completely caught in a crash state.

Is it possible...

That the big figure helping Fujiwara Reya with exorcism is actually the Kasahara Witch he’s been thinking about?

No, no...

Why would the Kasahara Witch do that?

Could it be just because that guy is handsome?

Impossible!

Definitely impossible!

The Kasahara Witch is definitely not a shallow girl who only cares about looks!

We are priests, our most important duty is to protect the human world, to uphold justice!

Can exorcism rely on looks?

Almost instinctively, Ito Tatsushi’s entire body began to tremble uncontrollably, as if struck by a violent lightning bolt while walking across a vast plain.

Numb.

He stared blankly at the scene before him.

Stared blankly at his dream woman, being NTRed by the Asakusa Boy right in front of him.

"Asuka, remember to behave tonight, okay?"

"Why?"

"It might be dangerous inside, I have to ensure your safety."

"Hmm, Asuka listens to senpai."

In his vision, the once noble and unapproachable Kasahara Witch now showed a coy and charming expression like a girl in love.

Her spirited nose slightly upturned, her eyebrows lively, a never-before-seen allure.

Ito Tatsushi felt heartbroken.

Even though it was just a one-sided crush, the bitterness of love lost swept over him like a tornado across an endless prairie, throwing his body into the sky, tearing it apart without mercy.

"Inspector, shall we go in?"

"Oh, alright."

"By the way, who is this?" Only then did Fujiwara Reya notice there was a strange man standing in front.

"Oh, this is Master Ito from Yoshiwara Shrine," Inspector Suzuki introduced, then noticed something was off with Ito Tatsushi’s expression, like he was soulless. He hurried over, quietly asking, "What’s wrong with you? Why are you zoning out again? If you’re feeling unwell, you shouldn’t go inside, just wait outside."

The simp doesn’t even call him Master anymore... Ito Tatsushi’s face turned pale, his eyes fixed deadly on Fujiwara Reya: "You’re Fujiwara Reya?"

It seemed like there was some deep-seated hatred in his eyes, and Fujiwara Reya, not wanting any trouble, casually waved his hand: "No, I’m not, you got the wrong person."

"Absolutely impossible, you are Fujiwara Reya!" Ito Tatsushi’s lips trembled involuntarily as he shouted, "No one else could be so handsome except Fujiwara Reya!"

Uh...

Alright.

That reason was irrefutable.

Fujiwara Reya nodded directly: "I am Fujiwara Reya, may I ask what Master Ito wants?"

"She..." Ito Tatsushi raised his trembling arm, pointing at Kasahara Asuka, "Why is she following you?"

"She gave me money." Fujiwara Reya answered.

"Yes, 2 million yen." Kasahara Asuka chirped happily, "I helped senpai exorcise the spirit just now, so it doesn’t count. So senpai has to bring me here to exorcise again."

She was referring to paying Fujiwara Reya to exorcise the spirit, to discern whether he was human or demon.

But to Ito Tatsushi, it sounds like she just helped Fujiwara Reya exorcise the spirit and even gave him 2 million yen, being so good to him, yet he wasn’t satisfied and demanded she come by tonight to exorcise again.

Isn’t this just taking advantage?

Ito Tatsushi was so envious his eyes were about to tear up.

In terms of strength, he thought he could slap Fujiwara Reya with one hand; in terms of appearance, he wasn’t ugly, just not obviously handsome.

Why does such good fortune not befall him?

The more he thought, the more he felt wronged.

"We’ll see about tonight!"

Ito Tatsushi coldly spat out a threat, then turned and walked into the construction site.

Held back by his new and old grudges, his fighting spirit inside kept rising.

Forcefully suppressing the explosive energy within him, he kept reminding himself that he must give his all tonight, to prove in front of the Kasahara Witch that he is the "Number One Priest in Taito District"!

Kasahara Asuka asked Inspector Suzuki quizzically, "Why does he seem so strange?"

"You two didn’t hear it from me," Inspector Suzuki tapped his head with a finger, whispering, "I think there’s something wrong up here, try not to spend too much time with him, or you might catch it."

"What’s going on?" Fujiwara Reya asked.

"Their Yoshiwara Shrine is selecting a Righteous Priest," Inspector Suzuki explained, "Of the four candidates, he’s the only one too ugly to be presentable, probably knows he won’t be chosen, so his mental state isn’t great."

Righteous Priest, representing the image of a shrine, somewhat like a spokesperson.

While strength is an important factor, appearance is equally crucial, after all, if the spokesman priest looked unattractive, worshippers might not visit the shrine a second time.

"Let’s go, we’ll talk as we go in."

Inspector Suzuki beckoned, leading the two into the construction site.

"Uwa..."

In the gently blowing night wind, there seemed to be a woman’s wailing cry.

Smelling the scent of blood wafting to his nose, Fujiwara Reya frowned, it seemed the Kitahara Family’s construction site involved more than just a single vengeful spirit...
