Chapter 20: True Power
–Rattle.
A small noise came from above the closet, near the ceiling.
Then, with a thud, something fell.
"…!"
The already gloomy atmosphere became gloomier all at once.
"This presence, a third-rank…!? The preliminary investigation done by the Academic Affairs Department was mistaken–"
Right after Soya muttered so while backing away.
"Aaaaahhhh!"
A woman with disheveled black hair jumped out of the closet and crawled over to us on all fours!
"Gyaaaaaaaaaahhhh!?"
The three of us rushed back to the stairs leading to the first floor.
While Soya’s remaining three shikigami were stalling the evil spirit, we rushed to get out of the house.
"Wait, we can’t just run away! We have to get rid of it!"
"We couldn’t help running away from such an unpleasant thing! Besides, you’re supposed to be from class B, Soya! You should be able to barely manage a third-ranked spirit, shouldn’t you!?"
"W, well, that…"
For some reason, Soya’s eyes swam. While we were having such an exchange, the woman on all fours seemed to have killed the rest of the shikigami in seconds and was now running down the stairs at a tremendous speed with a dodadadada!
"Eeeeeei! Please let it work!"
Soya who had descended back into the living room shouted something that made me feel extremely uneasy as she threw a talisman in the vicinity of the woman.
"Multilayered hexagram warding barrier!"
A small ward appeared around the crawling woman. Although its scale was different, it was the same technique that the S class students had deployed against the demoness that Soya let run amok the other day.
"Gyeeeh!?"
The woman hit the wall and stopped moving. It seemed to have been effective.
"As expected of someone from class B!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I began to search for the pleasure points of the woman crawling on all fours.
"Aaaaaaaaah!"
The woman’s hair stood up and began twirling around inside Soya’s multilayered hexagram barrier. With that, her unexpectedly well-featured face was revealed, causing Karasuma who was unable to read the situation to exclaim joyfully, "Oohh!?". The next moment.
Soya’s multilayered hexagram barrier vanished like a piece of paper. I was dumbfounded.
"What the hell, Soya! That was way too quick!"
"Because!"
Soya started to ramble while being on the verge of tears.
"I only got accepted into class B because I could use a wide range of techniques, because my spirit vision ability was unique, and also because of just a few family connections! All my techniques have about the same strength and accuracy as class D’s…"
A while ago, Karasuma complimented Soya on her ability to conserve spirit power but apparently she had been doing no such thing. It was the best she could do to exorcise a first-ranked minor spirit.
"Soya, how dare you think you could rise to the level of the Twelve Heavenly Masters with just this! The only thing you have going for you is your perverted psychic sight, you useless jack of all trades!"
"Ahhh! Did you just say perverted psychic sight! Did you just say useless jack of all trades! I feel sensitive about those things!"
You’ve got to be kidding me. Isn’t Soya the real one with a hidden true power (weakness)!
What should we do in this situation… I had managed to find the pleasure point of the crawling woman during our stupid exchange, but… it was located on her butt. Since it was located behind her, it would be very difficult to strike at unless we created an opening or somehow restrained her movement.
"Aaaaahhhh!"
"Noooo!?"
The woman continued crawling on all fours towards Soya, not caring about our circumstances.
At this rate, I might have to hug her from the front and forcefully… Just when I started thinking like an aggressive pervert, the woman was about to pounce when–
"Self-taught barrier-type binding technique style number one–light rope bondage."
A spider web of divine light appeared in the path of the crawling woman, entangling her body in the blink of an eye. The glowing rope tightly bound her body while suspending her in the air, completely restricting her movements.
"Aaaaahhhh!?"
The woman groaned with a mixture of confusion and humiliation.
"What is this technique… it’s getting more and more powerful… professional-ranked or maybe even higher…!?"
Soya muttered so in disbelief and I turned toward the person who had released the technique — Karasuma Aoi.
"What’s with this stupidly powerful binding technique"… had been what I was about to say but,
"Fu, fufufu. Fuhahahahahahahahaha!"
I shut my mouth as Karasuma began to laugh loudly with an ecstatic expression on her face.
I didn’t want to get involved with that.
"Yes, that’s it! The bite of the rope accentuating her soft limbs! The sense of superiority that comes from being able to restrain a beautiful woman’s movements! And above all, that look of humiliation on her face! Fufu, fufufu, I’m so excited I’m going to ruin not only my underwear but my suit as well!"
She was done for. Her head was, anway.
"Hey you, why didn’t you use such a powerful technique before!"
Especially during that demoness’ rampage. If you had used it then, Soya wouldn’t have found out about my abilities!
Karasuma continued breathing heavily with "haah, haah" as she answered my question.
"Fu, fufufu. My binding technique is a special one. I didn’t have the spirit power needed to activate the technique before because my mind can only be energized under certain conditions."
"Certain conditions?"
"I can’t get excited unless it’s a pretty girl!"
In other words, it was a binding technique that could only be used against beautiful women.
"That’s too difficult to use!"
That kind of technique couldn’t be evaluated in school. Or rather…
At the rate we were going, our team was going to be known as the perverted team that only exorcised cute girls by binding them up and forcing them to climax… it wouldn’t be long before we ended up being treated as evil spirits ourselves.
"We’re probably going to get arrested before we ever rise in the world…"
However, there was no point in saying such a thing now. For the time being, I had to exorcise this evil spirit… just when I succeeded in getting behind the crawling woman.
"Ooooooh"
"Uwaah!? The minor spirits have come! You two be careful!"
We had been so caught up in the crawling woman’s assault and Karasuma’s perverted binding technique that we forgot the house was continuing to attract minor spirits. The living room was now filled with minor spirits that had slipped through the walls.
"Ouch!?"
One of the minor spirits collided into Karasuma’s lower leg before Soya could deal with it in time.
Pop.
"Eh?"
The rope of light disappeared and the woman was released.
Soya and I stared blankly at Karasuma.
"I can’t deal with pain… I’m going to give up on being an exorcist…"
Karasuma shrunk into herself as she held onto her leg, looking beaten and small.
"You’re weak to pain even in a situation like this!?"
How closely linked were her sexual disposition and her ability as an exorcist!?
"Aaaaahhhh!"
"Kyaaaaa!?"
The unbound woman crawled towards Soya and Karasuma.
"For fuck’s sake, what the hell is up with this party!?"
Taking by surprise the woman who now had her back facing me, I thrust at her pleasure point,
"Aheeeeee!?!"
After successfully bringing the woman to a climax, Soya and I went around exorcising the rest of the minor spirits. I didn’t even care anymore.
"Furuya Haruhisa… no, Furuya-sama… no, Holy Father!"
After we had finished our exorcism of the house’s interior.
Karasuma got down on her knees in front of me. Soya was currently absent as she was calling our client to inform him of the exorcism’s completion. Karasuma, who had been severely depressed due to the minor spirit’s attack, quickly regained her spirit as soon as she witnessed my climax exorcism and started buttering me up.
Oh god, I knew this was going to be troublesome…
"Please, I’m begging you. Use your ability on Miss Misaki. I’ll do anything to see her in such a wanton display."
"Why don’t you just die?"
"I’ll really do anything! Anything! R, right, that too… I’m even willing to take on your ugly, vile emotions with my own body! Will you still refuse!?"
"Why don’t you just die?"
"Are you afraid of Miss Misaki retaliating? Then rest assured, my light rope bondage can be used on humans as well! The use of spirit techniques on an innocent person is strictly punishable, but for the sake of seeing Miss Misaki’s debauched figure… I will endure any kind of torture!"
"Why don’t you just die?"
"Alright, so it’s money? It’s money, isn’t it? How much do you need me to prepare—"
"You sure speak loudly, don’t you Aoi-chan?"
"Hiii!?"
Behind Karasuma who had been on her knees repeating certain lines as if she were trying to set an example for all scum, stood Soya who had finished her phone call. Even as her face was dyed with shame, she gave off dark and deadly murderous intent.
"Looks to me like you still haven’t been punished enough. As a matter of fact, I just found some ear picks lying over there a while ago."
Soya wiped some dust from the ear pick with a handkerchief as she cornered Karasuma against the wall.
"Why don’t we have some fun together until the client comes to check on our work?"
"N, no, if you dig into my ears with a rod that has a curved end like that I’ll go crazy! I’ll go crazy, I tell youuu!"
You’re already nuts. I had no energy left to give such a retort, however.
