"Mm..."
"More or less..."
Yukino Yukinoshita didn't explain, then asked, "What about you, what exactly happened?"
At the mention of it, Higurashi Kagome couldn't help but complain, "It's all because of that strange well!"
"It kept making strange noises every day, and today it got louder and louder, so I opened it to look, and as a result..."
Higurashi Kagome paused, then said with lingering fear, "You saw it, this monster came out of the well..."
"That..."
Higurashi Kagome couldn't help but ask, "Can your Supernatural Investigation Department solve the problem with that well?"
"This..."
Yukino Yukinoshita hesitated for a moment, then said, "This is our first time encountering something like this, so we're not entirely sure."
Higurashi Kagome looked somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.
"However..."
"Our minister can definitely solve it."
Yukino Yukinoshita's tone was firm.
"Really!"
Higurashi Kagome's eyes lit up, and she quickly grabbed Yukino Yukinoshita's arm, pleading, "Please, you must let your minister help me!"
Yukino Yukinoshita opened her mouth, then hesitated, "But..."
"Our minister's services are very expensive."
"Expensive?"
Higurashi Kagome was utterly dumbfounded.
Yukino Yukinoshita hummed in affirmation, then said, "Our Supernatural Investigation Department charges for exorcisms outside of school."
"By the way, the starting price for us club members to take action is five million Japanese Yen."
"Five million!"
Higurashi Kagome's eyes widened, and she immediately knelt on the ground, her eyes vacant.
It's over.
Hope, shattered...
Ruined by the word 'poor'...
Seeing Higurashi Kagome in this state, Yukino Yukinoshita and the two others understood that she probably couldn't afford the price.
After some thought, Yotsuya Miko stepped forward and handed her a Demon Contract flyer that Lynn had improved.
The previous situation where he couldn't sense summons across worlds had stayed on Lynn's mind.
So, he used the Demon Contract to modify the Demon Contract flyer.
Even if Lynn was in other worlds, he could now sense summons.
"This is..."
Higurashi Kagome took the flyer, her eyes filled with confusion.
"Next time you encounter danger, shout 'Devil King, please help me!' at it, and someone from our Supernatural Investigation Department will appear."
"Of course, at that time, you might also have to pay some unexpected price..."
Higurashi Kagome quickly accepted the Demon Contract flyer and said gratefully, "I understand!"
By the way, why 'Devil King'?
Higurashi Kagome felt a bit strange in her heart, but she didn't say anything, just taking it as a quirky habit of the Supernatural Investigation Department.
After resolving Higurashi Kagome's matter, Yotsuya Miko and the two others stared at the giant corpse of the Centipede Demoness, feeling a headache.
"How do we deal with this?"
"Just leave it like this?"
"Hmm... Should we ask the minister?"
After receiving the message in the group chat, Lynn instructed, "Transport it to the Black Bullet World and give it to Muroto Sumire for research."
It could be considered repurposing waste.
Perhaps something could be researched from it?
However...
"Higurashi Shrine? Higurashi Kagome?"
Lynn narrowed his eyes.
"I didn't expect that this world would actually have the worldview of Inuyasha?"
Higurashi Kagome's appearance indeed surprised him a bit.
So...
"The Bone-Eater's Well that travels through time also exists?"
Lynn's mind stirred.
He remembered that the time point the Bone-Eater's Well traveled to should be five hundred years ago, right?
That time period...
The Underworld should be in a period of internal strife?
Unable to contain his curiosity, Lynn took a light step, and in an instant, he arrived at Higurashi Shrine.
Higurashi Shrine, back mountain.
A withered well stood silently.
Lynn approached and examined it carefully.
"There is indeed a fluctuation..."
But because he didn't have the power of time and space, Lynn wasn't sure if this fluctuation was related to time and space.
After some thought, Lynn directly leaped down.
Thud!
Lynn landed, falling into contemplation.
There was no sensation of entering a time-space tunnel.
So...
He looked up at the moon outside the well.
"I didn't go back five hundred years ago..."
Lynn frowned.
Is it not time yet, or does it require the jewel of four souls?
Or perhaps...
Does it require a specific person?
After some thought, Lynn's figure disappeared.
The next second.
Higurashi Kagome's bedroom.
Lynn's figure appeared.
He briefly looked around.
Hmm...
It was a pink, girlish room.
And...
There was a beautiful girl in pajamas on the bed, picking her feet?
"No way! I'm clipping my nails!"
Higurashi Kagome's face flushed red as she loudly retorted.
"Wait!"
Higurashi Kagome suddenly froze, then her eyes widened, "You, you, you, how did you get in!"
Lynn thought for a moment, "Walked in?"
Why is it a question!
Higurashi Kagome complained in her heart.
And.
"Who are you!"
Higurashi Kagome hugged her blanket tightly, scooting her bottom further back into the bed, her face wary.
This man is very dangerous!
It's as if he appeared out of thin air!
Definitely not normal!
Especially after just encountering supernatural powers today, she was even more convinced of this!
"The 部長 of the Supernatural Investigation Department."
Lynn gave a simple introduction.
"Eh?"
Higurashi Kagome was stunned, then couldn't help but say, "But... I didn't summon you at all!"
She secretly glanced at the Demon Contract flyer on her computer desk.
Hmm.
She indeed hadn't summoned him.
"Then just pretend you did."
Higurashi Kagome: "?"
Forced sale?!
Lynn asked, "Don't you want to solve the problem with that well?"
"I do!"
Higurashi Kagome nodded without hesitation.
"That works then," Lynn nodded, then scooped her up and walked towards the dry well.
"Eh, eh, eh, eh—" Higurashi Kagome exclaimed, "I haven't even changed yet!"
"That's not important."
"Ah…" Halfway there, Lynn suddenly said, "Don't forget to pay me."
Higurashi Kagome was dumbfounded.
"How could you!"
"Is the dry well not yours?"
"Uh…"
"Aren't you the one who wants to solve this problem?"
Higurashi Kagome: "…"
Higurashi Kagome slumped, weakly saying, "But… you saw it, our Higurashi Shrine is poor and rundown…"
Lynn grinned, "It's fine, the payment I want, you can definitely afford."
Higurashi Kagome: "?"
