Chapter 1335 – 1335. Ghost Romance
The fire started on the first floor of the apartment and spread quickly to the upper floors. Acrid black smoke fills the sky, and the air around them is hot with heat.
A siren sounded from the apartment. It’s a fire alarm. I looked at the roaring apartment and then stepped back. Hide yourself in a nearby tree. Students in the apartment run out in a hurry.
And people who saw the smoke outside the apartment started to gather, you and me. For them, the scene of the fire was a spectacle rarely seen.
A moment later, a siren sounds. The fire engine had arrived. Firefighters extinguished the fire and ran inside the apartment.
The apartment ghosts are powerless. Demons are weak against Yang. That is, it is weak against fire. The whole apartment is on fire, so the power will be weak, and there are people gathered outside, so you can’t get out of the apartment. Humans are creatures that radiate yang energy the more they gather.
The moment it is recognized by dozens of humans, the ghost will die, unable to withstand the pouring heat.
From the ghost’s point of view, it is truly a quandary.
At some point, I openly exposed myself and watched the fire.
“Kiaaaaagh!”
Screams are heard from the apartment.
People around were startled.
“Looks like people are still locked up….”
“What should we do….”
“Whoa. Everything should be fine.”
People looked at the apartment with worried eyes. When the firefighters brought the fainting man out of the apartment, people shouted as if to greet a hero.
I raised my head crookedly. The scream I had just heard was not of a human, but of a ghost.
『✝You burned and killed many ghosts.』
『✝Your outrageous exorcism is terrifying the ghosts nearby.』
『✝ Many ghosts have been turned to ashes. They will burn even in Hell.”
『✝ Demonic prayer in this area is drastically reduced.』
After checking the notification window, I turned around.
Is it because my ear airways are low? The steps towards home were light.
Arson isn’t a problem?
No problem.
The police in this world are incompetent, and they committed the crime after confirming everything including the presence of CCTV. There will be no evidence. If you doubt me, it’s enough if you catch me.
I went into Ji-hye’s house. I went to school after playing rice cakes with Ji-hye all night.

“Khehehe. Seong Yujin. Did you know there was a fire in the dormitory apartment yesterday?”
As soon as I entered the classroom, Shin Oh-jeong started talking to me.
The cause of the fire is me. I couldn’t say it openly, so I pretended not to know.
“I don’t know. I have no interest.”
“I thought so. All you care about is exorcism.”
Exorcism was not interested either. The reason I do exorcism is to target heroines. The power of the ghost possessed by the heroines is weakened only when the spirit prayer is lowered.
“Do you have any information related to ghosts?”
“The dormitory apartment caught fire yesterday. There were rumors that there were ghosts there. One of the students in the dormitory said that he dreams of committing suicide every night. Another student said he saw a ghost standing in the hallway. She says there are even students who fainted after seeing a long-haired ghost in the shower.”
“Now that the apartment has been burned down, rumors of those ghosts will be gone.”
I said lightly.
Shin Oh-jung stared at me like that.
“… Did you set the apartment on fire? To exorcise demons?”
“Hey, Pig. Make sense. What kind of madman sets fire to get rid of ghosts? It’s like burning all thatch to catch fleas.”
“Well…. Indeed it is. I was a bit sensitive because I got information that there were traces of arson. I apologize.”
Shin Oh-jeong bowed her head to me. I accepted his apology and thought for a moment.
They burn thatch to catch fleas.
Couldn’t you burn some to kill the fleas?
“Do you have any information about other ghosts?”
“Hmm. There was another murder yesterday.”
“The convenience store murder case?”
“Right. This is a crime committed by the perpetrator of the convenience store murder case. Last night, two Taekwondo masters were massacred. Of course, there is no clue about the culprit this time either. Neither the CCTV nor the black box recorded the culprit.”
“Do you think it was the work of a ghost again?”
“The perpetrator is committing a crime openly. Even so, the police are unable to properly collect clues, let alone the tail of the culprit. It doesn’t make sense unless it’s the work of a ghost. This is 120% the work of ghosts.”
Shin Oh-jeong said with a determined face.
I had a good feeling about the subject, not even an exorcist. But that’s it. There is nothing Shin Oh-jung can do. Because collecting information about ghosts and exorcising them yourself are quite different.
“Come on, the six poles of hell… What are you going to do?”
“Don’t call me that way. The culprit of the murder is… I have no choice either. Even if it’s a ghost, I don’t know where to start screaming. It is difficult to track.”
“Indeed…. Does that mean you have to face a ghost first to exorcise?”
“So, we have to deal with the other ghosts first. You can’t get rid of someone you don’t even know where they are.”
“Leave him alone and there will be more casualties.”
“So what? Again, we don’t know where he is. He can’t waste his time chasing someone he doesn’t even know where he is. In the meantime, exorcising other demons is more profitable.”
“Um…. After all, the problem is that the location of the ghost cannot be specified….”
I glanced forward.
I look at Yu Se-mi, who is presumed to be the culprit of the murder. Se-mi Yu, the class president, was happily chatting with the other students.
“Oh right. Seong Yujin. I heard that one of the three most beautiful girls in our school, Ji Ji-hye, was absent both yesterday and today. Is it related to you? Weren’t you absent yesterday too?”
“Not relevant.”
I just cut it out.
Three generations of beauties.
It meant three heroines. Yu Se-mi, Ji-hye Ji, Ji-young Seol. The school’s most beautiful girl, something was a common setting in unplayed games.
“Well, if you do, then so be it. So, which demon are you going to exorcise today? There is information that water ghosts appear in school swimming pools.”
“A water ghost? It’s easy to get rid of, so do it yourself.”
“… What, me?!”
“Simple. You can go when the water ghost comes out and spray disinfectant all over the pool.”
“Repelling water ghosts with goats? Are you serious?”
“What about exterminating anglerfish with an insect repellent?”
“Ugh. Right. But I am not a professional exorcist. Shouldn’t you do this?”
Shin Oh-jeong was very scared. She broke out in a cold sweat with a hard expression on her face.
“Don’t say anything weak about the subject of being an exorcist’s manager. I’ll take down the water ghosts by myself.”
“However… Ghosts are ghosts There’s no way an ordinary human like me can deal with it….”
“Water ghosts can’t come out of the pool. Can you get away from the pool and spray chlorine?”
“… I still can’t believe that water ghosts can be defeated with just that… I can’t help but believe it because I’ve personally experienced getting rid of anglerfish with an insect repellent. I get it. As you said, I will exterminate the water ghost today. One in a while though. I might fail, so I’ll have to write a will in advance….”
Holding a ballpoint pen, Shin Oh-jeong started scribbling something on her notebook with a serious face. I ignored him and looked straight ahead. Today, I plan to attack Yusemi.
•••
After school, I went to school with Yusemi. We headed downtown, not home. Simply put, it’s a date.
It was easy to seduce Yu Se-mi, probably because she had a basic liking. I just asked her to play outside of school, but Yusemi accepted my offer right away. There was no sign of doubting my words.
Yu Se-mi, who was walking next to me, was smiling.
“Eugene, how long has it been since I went out with you like this…. Let’s have fun today.”
“We can play together next time, but what?”
I put my hand on Yusemi’s shoulder. Yusemi trembled at her body. Don’t shake my hand Instead, she blushed slightly.
“Together next time…. Yes. Just talk anytime.”
“Do you have time? You’re in the kendo club, and you have to study.”
“It’s hard to find a lot of time, but… I can play for about 3-4 hours after school.”
“Oh, yes? How long can we play today?”
She looked at me and hesitated.
“Yes, you can play however you want. Because I have a lot of time today….”
“You mean we can play until dawn? Right?”
Dawn.
Startled by that word, Yusemi shyly nodded her head.
“I’m fine as long as I’m with you.”
“Would your parents be concerned?”
“Just say you’re going to sleep over at a friend’s house.”
“Okay? So, let’s have fun today. Prior to that… I want to give you something…. I would like clothes Will you accept it?”
“Dress? Is Eugene choosing you yourself?”
“I’ll pick out a pretty one for you.”
“I look forward to it. But do you have any money?”
I took the card out of my wallet. I checked the balance at the school canteen, and it was quite a lot of money. It must have been money earned through exorcism.
I took her into her clothing store in her downtown. To be precise, it’s a women’s underwear store.
“Hey, this is… !”
Yusemi is confused. Her black hair, tied in a ponytail, shakes vigorously.
Usually men have a hard time getting into women’s underwear stores. No, it’s impossible. But with a woman, the story is different. I grabbed Yu Se-mi by the waist and proudly approached the female clerk. The female clerk smiles at us.
“Welcome. Are you a couple? You look good.”
“Yes. I want to present underwear to my girlfriend. Anything sexy?”
We were in school uniforms, but we were adults. The expulsion did not happen.
“Oh, there are a lot of products you want in that corner. I will help you.”
“It’s okay. I decided to pick one and give it as a gift.”
“If so… Okay. The dressing room is over there.”
“Thank you.”
I took Yu Se-mi, who was still frozen, and headed to the sexy underwear section. Lots of adult underwear.
I look around and check the CCTV. Compared to the size of the store, the number of CCTVs was small. There are many blind spots. I smiled contentedly.
“Semiya. Show me your underwear.”
“What, what?!”
“I wonder what kind of underwear you are wearing right now. Can you show me?”
“Yes, if it is your request….”
Yusemi swallowed her breath and grabbed the hem of her skirt and lifted her up.
