I’M Really Helpless In Tokyo

"faster……"

In the middle of the sky, the animal-shaped wild skeleton that fell quickly seemed to have sensed some terrifying aura, but was inspired by the ferocity of the same death, and threw its teeth and claws towards the Araki Sosuke...

"Hurry up, uh uh uh uh..."

Facing the wild skeleton whose eyes widened rapidly and opened its huge mouth, Sosuke Araki suppressed the urge to throw his fists to relieve the siege.

"The guy who owes the rent must have the consciousness to work hard...

Shouting inexplicable slogans, he did not advance and retreated, facing the deserted skeleton with his body...

He wanted to use the "sense of crisis" in front of him to restore the state he had when he encountered the Sonic mother-in-law that night, trying to comprehend how to drive the "tenant" in his body to work for him.

"Ms. Araki?"

In the next second, in the horrified gaze of the girl, the thick black finger on the back of Sosuke Araki suddenly protruded again, extending in the direction of the wild skeleton.

Through the knuckles exposed below and the outline of fists together, you can vaguely recognize...

That's surprisingly a reluctant, lazy...

About 180 cm in length...

Middle finger.

It seems that only this gesture can express dissatisfaction with the "forced business".

"Oh~ that's how it feels!"

In the unobstructed sense of "pulling something out", Sosuke Araki only felt that there was an extra "phantom limb" behind him that he could manipulate.

"boom!"

However, at the moment when the huge middle finger with a length of one meter eight pierced the desolate skeleton that fell into the air...

Araki Sosuke's cheeks had already rushed into the skulls of the fallen skeletons.

The feeling that was hard to catch suddenly disappeared.

After poking lonely because of someone's crude manipulation skills, the middle finger retracted angrily into Sousuke Araki's body.

This picture looks like Araki Sosuke’s back with a big black hand that is half of his middle finger stretched out, expressing his "contempt" at the wild skull, and created it for Araki Sosuke who "uses his face to remove spirits". Something about the atmosphere.

"Crack."

In the sound of bone fragmentation, the bones that made up the wild skeleton were smashed and scattered all over the place, turning into various animals such as mice, cats, dogs, cows, horses, and birds.

"Well, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt... It's us humans that I'm sorry for you..."

These cute looking animals with white light do not scurry around. Instead, they centered on Araki, clasping their hands together, turning into white light and dissipating.

"...The thing that swelled my face is apologizing."

Only the sounds of various animals lingering in the ears and the white light spots flying in the woods like fireflies silently prove the existence of life.

"gorgeous."

Tori Mayumi walked slowly to the side of Araki Sosuke, her big, shining eyes, reflecting the bright light around her.

"It's like watching a firefly festival, hahaha."

Using the sports bag in front of him to carefully follow every piece of soul dust, Sosuke Araki also smiled relievedly.

"After coming out of the subway, Mr. Araki, for the first time tonight laughed so easily."

Araki Sosuke turned his head and realized that at some unknown time, the girl with a longbow had already stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

"Spirit-eliminators are destined to endure many sad stories and prove that the deceased turned into improper existence after death..."

Under the moonlight and surrounded by fluorescence, the hakama of the Miko's elegant hakama swayed gently in the night breeze.

"However, the beautiful moment when the deceased was liberated and passed away makes all this worthwhile."

At close range, her pair of pure eyes, with the tenderness that makes people sink in, quietly stared at Sosuke Araki.

"Now I understand somewhat, presumably this is the reason why countless sages have spent their entire lives pursuing the profound meaning of'becoming a Buddha'..."

"Ms. Araki, do you remember the agreement with me?"

The girl asked in a soft voice, so that the dazed Araki Sosuke returned to his senses.

"Remember... whenever you encounter dangerous things, I will tell you."

"This agreement also applies to the matter of deling!"

Seemingly satisfied with Sosuke Araki's fluent answer, Yu Mayumi Kotori nodded with noddedness.

"From now on, please tell me the sad stories behind the wraiths that Mr. Araki encountered..."

"Even if you can't help, at least, if one more person shares the burden, there will be less grief."

Seeing the girl's inexplicable serious expression, Araki Sosuke was taken aback first.

So, are you worrying about me?

He once heard that Ryoma said before the second session that the ninth class agent must receive psychological counseling and evaluation on a regular basis.

Presumably, it is also for these reasons.

As for those who remove spirits, they rely more on their pious and firm beliefs to digest the heavy burden in their hearts.

As an "unbelievers," what can I rely on to digest these negative emotions?

"Okay, I promise you!"

Sosuke Araki nodded seriously, and then showed the sad expression that worries the girl again: "...but, it's a pity."

"I have already pulled out such a thick and healthy one just now, and I was only a little short of hitting that guy!"

"It seems that the next time you'pull', you have to work harder. 』

"Mr. Araki... please don't use such bad words to describe what happened just now!"

...

After solving the ghosts at the ruins of the Army Medical School, the "Apprentice Chu Ling Duo" continued to move towards the top of Hakone.

With the "human-shaped self-propelled exhaust fan" of Sosuke Araki, from the foot to the mountainside, there was almost no resentment on the road when he came.

Looking back, the whole Hakone Mountain in the moonlight gives people a new feeling that has just been "cleaned up".

"Ms. Araki, climb up from here and you should be at the top of the mountain."

"Yawn, it's finally here..."

Although the man-made Hakone Mountain in Toyama Park is the highest mountain in Tokyo, it is still less than 50 meters above sea level.

The two set off from the foot of the mountain, and it only took less than an hour, except for the time that was delayed by various things on the road.

This is still in the case of fear of missing the resentful spirit and deliberately slowing down.

At this moment, the time is only one o'clock in the morning.

Araki Sosuke looked in the direction pointed by Tori Yu Mayumi, and saw grievances enveloped and surrounded by trees. A narrow and old stone staircase wide by one person stretched straight up towards the dark and dull mountain top. Not to the end.

A few meters away from the rusty iron handrails, there are rugged rocks on both sides of the stairs, and there are luxuriant cherry trees and maple trees...
