Chapter 89: Eiji’s change of plan

Chapter 89: Eiji's change of plan

She actually already had a few guesses in her mind.

But if it could get her back to normal, and if it with Eiji, she...

"You don't have to do anything."

"Eh?"

Haruna was confused.

Eiji released her from his embrace.

Unlike before, the boy was no longer grinning and was just smiling casually.

She felt reluctant...

"B-But you said you wanted to help me, you---"

"I've done it."

"...What did you say?"

"I'm saying I've done it, you can participate in the tournament or whatever normally now."

"...."

Haruna didn't know what to say, what was this boy talking about? But when feeling her own body...

Indeed, she did feel that her body became lighter.

This! This was very different from before where she felt very uncomfortable!

She even felt that she could hit hundreds of tennis balls flying towards her with precision!

Of course, that was just a feeling she could describe as now her body feels better and better than before.

She felt full of strength!

Staring at Eiji, she wondered what that boy was doing to her?

What about the loose soul inside her body? Didn't in order to get it out of her, she had to fall in love with someone?

Suddenly she heard a strange noise behind her, she naturally turned her head only to see a large light blue creature with red eyes and a red mouth that looked like a spirit in cartoons.

It wasn't quite as creepy as ghosts in horror movies, but still...

"Kyaaa!!!"

"Creature, what is that creature Eiji-kun?!"

She naturally immediately hid behind the boy's body and hugged him with a terrified expression.

It wasn't too scary, but its size, which was bigger than a house, scared her!

Eiji laughed at this, he pointed at the creature floating in the air and said.

"That's Loose Soul, he's a creature that has possessed your body since a week ago. Because of his presence in your body, you've become depressed a lot and your body feels very uncomfortable."

"So that's it!"

"Oh, you already know?" He smiled playfully.

The purple-haired girl panicked. "N-No, I... I mean because of that creature I can't play tennis well!"

Eiji pretended to believe this, he didn't ask further.

"But how did this thing get out of my body?"

Haruna was confused.

After all, didn't someone say that to get a loose soul out of her body, she had to fall in love with a man first?

So why now...

She knew it was Eiji who did it, but why didn't that boy say earlier that he could do this?

If he had done it earlier. Wouldn't she not have to cry and be sad like before?

She looked at the silver-haired boy suspiciously.

Don't tell me he did it on purpose...

[Removing the loose soul from Haruna's body by force was harder than I thought. Gosh, if I didn't want to pretend to be strong in front of a girl, I would have vomited blood by now.]

Haruna was dumbfounded hearing this. And if she took a better look at Eiji's face, she saw that the boy's skin was paler than usual, although he was still smiling as if nothing was wrong.

"Eiji-kun, are you alright?!"

"What do you mean, Haruna? I'm fine."

"Liar! You, you, why are you forcing yourself to..."

The purple-haired girl bit her lip, her eyes started to turn red again and she hugged him tighter than before.

Eiji wanted to say that his acting skills were not bad.

Of course they were.

How could just letting out a loose soul be enough to make him so limp? His current pale appearance was just acting!

Because Haruna looked so pitiful and he himself was too soft.

He changed his plan in order to solve Haruna's problem faster.

But of course...

This was not without its own benefits as the girl is now deeply moved by his act of self-harm to help her!

This trick!

This is one of the many tricks to win a woman's heart.

If you can't get her heart just by making the process of helping her look difficult.

You can also get her heart with a process that looks easy but you have to make yourself look miserable in front of her eyes.

Most women out there who have a heart, they will definitely flinch at this kind of action.

Even Haruna, the girl is no exception.

Since she was hugging him, pressing her breasts against his back, he could clearly hear the girl's heart pounding.

This kind of thing...

There was no mistaking it.

"I can see the ending!"

"Eiji-kun?"

"Haruna, wait a minute. I still have to eliminate this loose soul. Otherwise, he'll escape and possess someone else's body out there!"

"I can't let something like that happen!"

Although his face looked pale, his heroic words and handsome face were very effective in making Haruna's gaze become even more mesmerized and infatuated.

"So let's end it here."

"Goodbye..."

Lightly, he strengthened the grip of his glowing hands and the large loose soul's body looked like it was grasped so hard.

The creature continued to scream Eeek! Eeek! before its body popped like a balloon that decorated the sky with fireworks.

The last one was obviously just a special effect that Eiji added and it was done for the sake of impressing a girl.

He added the illusion of a pleasant and romantic background music that he remembered from the franchise where loose soul came from.

With this Haruna was definitely captured, right?

"...." Haruna.

Her violet eyes reflected Eiji's handsome figure standing with a starry sky filled with fireworks.

Would when the loose soul was killed, he would create fireworks? She didn't know.

But this melody... Did she hear it wrong? No, she did hear the background music being played at this time.

And it sounded very suitable in this situation.

Her heart was beating fast like a deer that had been running around.

She wasn't surprised at the supernatural power Eiji had shown during his battle with the loose soul.

After all, after hearing his inner voice all this time, she knew the supernatural was real...

Seeing the silver-haired boy suddenly appear in front of her, she stared at him without blinking.

From Eiji's perspective, he could see Haruna had the look of a girl in love in her eyes which made him nod in satisfaction mentally.

Even so, he was still not satisfied and had to add more love points with his acting skills.

"Cough, cough!"

With the same pale face as before, he was now coughing up blood countless times in front of Haruna's eyes.

That would further convince the girl that after forcibly removing the loose soul from her body and fighting with the loose soul earlier.

He worked so hard that he hurt himself for her.

Haruna's eyes were instantly colored with worry, she looked like she was about to cry and hugged his body frantically.

"Eiji-kun! Eiji-kun! Are you okay? The hospital! We have to go to the hospital right now!"

However, the silver-haired boy's reply surprised her.

It was not an answer that came from his mouth, but from his inner voice.

"There's no need to go to the hospital. I just need to rest for a while."

[Actually to recover my condition. It will be faster if I sleep with a girl, cough. Although this sounds strange, my special physique allows me to recover quickly if I do those things.]

[After this, I should go home immediately and ask Lala or Kuroka to speed up my recovery in bed.]

Eiji wondered if this was enough?

And that seems to be enough!

The girl caught his bait!

The girl, Haruna blushed, she seemed to hesitate for a moment, but there was determination in her eyes that was filled with shame.

"Then... Eiji-kun, why don't you rest at my house? It just so happens that it's not that far from the school and my family is out of town."

"I-If you want, you can stay overnight there."

"After all, you helped get that thing out of my body and you got hurt helping me."

"So let me repay your kindness!"

[Repay my kindness? You mean by staying at the house of a girl who lives alone? Well...]

Haruna was worried whether Eiji would reject her? If he did, she would feel sad and heartbroken.

"Sure, let's go to your house."

But in fact, that boy did not take long to immediately agree to her offer!

He didn't hesitate to agree!

He... Is it okay to bring a wolf into the house? Her father, mother, and older sister were not at home.

If she gets eaten...

Although she wasn't quite sure what Eiji meant about sleeping with a girl and doing those things to speed up her recovery.

Remembering Eiji's thing that pierced her stomach not long ago.

She swallowed.

Maybe she wouldn't refuse if Eiji really wanted to eat her after arriving at her house.

This would be the first time she invited a boy to stay at her house. As for Rito? Who was that? That boy had never even been invited to her house.

When the silver-haired boy and the purple-haired girl left.

Not long after that.

Another girl with purple hair, but longer that reached her waist had just arrived at the school.

The girl was holding a jet-black scythe with skull decorations. There was a purple scarf that seemed to float in the air while wrapped around her neck.

She took out a device from her pocket that had recently been making noise: "Pero, Pero, Pero, Pero."

It was actually a detector that could help her detect Loose Soul's whereabouts.

A few minutes ago, the device had detected the fluctuation of a mid-level loose soul in this school.

She came here to capture the loose soul, but when she arrived at the scene, she saw nothing.

Even the loose soul detector in her hand had stopped beeping!

"Strange... Did I come too late? It looks like the Kaketama I detected earlier has gone somewhere else or he's already found someone's body to possess!"

Kaketama.

That was the Japanese version of the name Loose Soul had.

Usually people from the Runaway Spirit Squad called Loose Soul by this title.

And that purple-haired girl, she happens to be one of the members of the Runaway Spirit Squad who is currently tasked with searching for loose souls who escaped from hell!
