Daisuke here. Last time we met I joined a secret organization of exorcists who hunt down evil monsters which are disguised as regular animals. My training was going great until a super powerful fox monster attacked and my teacher tried to kill me. Now my friends and the organization are accusing me of being a monster in human form, but that can’t be possible, can it?
Chapter 5
With no school to go to, most of my time was spent repairing headquarters. It was all because Akito was too stingy to hire anyone. He said that we couldn't risk bringing in outsiders in case they discovered the library, our weapons, the illegal shotgun, and his gunpowder stock in the basement. Akito said he had enough ammunition to blow up my school, but I think he just didn't want to part with his money.
The building had taken quite a blow from the fox monster attack, so we had to rebuild the living room, kitchen, bathroom, and study. Kiyori tried to argue that because I helped destroy it, I should repair it all, but Akito insisted that the physical labour was all part of our training.
"The organization used to hire more outsiders," said Souta as he happily nailed the floor next to me. "But then they arrested my uncle on suspicion of imprisoning young people and running a cult. He spent ten years in prison."
"I don't see why we have to make all the repairs," said Taisei as he threw down his hammer and began rubbing his throbbing wrist. "We're supposed to be monster hunters, not repairmen!"
"Doing repairs is all part of being a self-sufficient exorcist," said Akito as he walked past carrying a pile of new tiles for the bathroom.
"Cleaning the toilet is all part of being a self sufficient exorcist," said Taisei while impersonating Akito's stern voice.
