There are notices posted near the suburban park.
The sign reads, "Dangerous animals may exist in the park. Please do not approach."
No wonder there's hardly anyone around; it's in a semi-abandoned state.
Asia felt a little nervous facing the park, where only a few streetlights were on.
She slowly moved to Baili's side and hugged his right hand.
Seeing this, Mai Sakurajima turned and hugged her other hand.
"It is indeed too dark."
Baili walked forward despite being surrounded by the girls.
Just as I passed through the main gate, I heard some strange roaring sound.
An evil spirit, invisible to ordinary people, appeared under the flashing streetlights not far away.
There are three.
Instead of staying put, they started arguing with each other.
Since the evil spirits have long lost the ability to speak, they can only roar incessantly.
This is probably why the entrance warns people to be careful of animals.
The quarrel among the evil spirits caused the park, which could have continued to be developed and expanded, to be abandoned.
These evil spirits are so self-centered.
Looking ahead, Mai Sakurajima's earlier timidity vanished.
"Lord Baili, is it alright? Please purify them all."
"You don't have the ability to purify, do you?"
"I have an invisible attack, and a finishing move."
That is, physical exorcism.
That's not quite right. Mai Sakurajima's power comes from Hyakusuke's Destiny, and the power of Destiny is imaginary energy.
Is it more accurately described as imaginary number exorcism?
While Baili was pondering, Asia also stepped forward.
“Sister Mai, I’m very good at purification... Holy light will definitely work on them too.”
"Then let's clean up this park together."
"kindness!"
Baili watched from the side, not intending to interfere.
"Come on you guys."
Before the words were even finished, the girls rushed out.
Imaginary energy then erupts.
The chaos and nothingness severed space;
The holy light bestowed by the abundance of chaos illuminated the darkness.
If evil spirits were to keep a diary, they would probably leave a sentence like this: "Two girls shouted about purification and then rushed over and killed us!"
In the suburban parks today, the howls of evil spirits have turned into mournful cries.
Chapter 29 Mai Sakurajima VS Aine Chihaya? (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)
The day after defeating the evil spirit with Mai Sakurajima and Asia.
Baili woke up when she heard her phone alarm.
He left the bed and went to the bathroom.
Mai was inside tidying up her hair, meticulously combing her already smooth strands.
"Good morning, Mr. Baili."
"Good morning. I heard a noise in the kitchen, could it be...?"
"Asia is making breakfast."
After a quick wash, the two went to the restaurant to enjoy their meal.
While helping clean up after the meal, Mai said somewhat shyly...
"Aishia-chan, it feels like I've turned you into a maid. It's okay if you don't want to do these things."
"Please don't say that, Mai-neechan. I really enjoy doing things. When I was in church, I often went to help out at the homes of elderly people. I felt very fulfilled afterward."
"Remember to say what you hate."
"kindness!"
After packing their things, Hyakuri and Sakurajima Mai prepared to go to school.
Asia said she planned to wander around the neighborhood and familiarize herself with the surroundings.
Baili, who had reminded her to be careful, came to the entrance to change her shoes.
At that moment, she noticed Mai whispering to Asia.
The girls seemed to have mentioned the term "reverse bunny girl".
That's quite a charming outfit.
Who will wear it in the future?
With these questions in mind, Baili said goodbye to Asia and walked towards the school with Sakurajima Mai, who had followed them.
As usual, the two were about to part ways on the first floor.
Mai Sakurajima called out to Hyakuri at that moment.
"I always felt it would be difficult for us to meet at school."
"That's true."
"How about we start our own club?"
"I don't think it makes any sense."
"Bai Li-kun, think about it. After establishing a club, we might be able to hear some rumors and accept some requests. Then we won't need to ask Rias and the others for help. We can find evil spirits and eliminate them ourselves."
After listening to Mai Sakurajima's words, Hyakuri pondered for a moment.
"Should we establish a club related to the supernatural?"
"Yes, only in this way can we hear the relevant rumors and receive the relevant commissions."
"kindness……"
Bai Li thought of the Occult Research Club at Kuoh Academy, where Rias was.
Since coming up with a name is too troublesome, I might as well change it and create a Mystery Research Society.
"Perhaps we can go ask the teacher at noon? But third-grade students haven't been doing much club activity lately, have they?"
Mai Sakurajima is a third-year student who is about to face her college entrance exams.
Fortunately, Japanese universities have many recruitment methods, and Mai Sakurajima has excellent grades, so there's not much to worry about.
"It's indeed rare, unless you're someone with the ability to enter the national competition, but the teacher didn't stop it, did he?"
"Then let's go ask together after noon."
"sure."
Mai Sakurajima waved goodbye and walked towards her classroom.

Time flies by.
Noon arrived quickly.
Baili and Mai contacted each other via text message and agreed to meet on the second floor of the school building.
"........."
Upon meeting, Mai Sakurajima's face showed a question mark, and she remained silent.
Baili, who was standing in front of him, moved closer.
"Is there something strange on my face, Mai-senpai?"
"Who is this student...?"
Mai Sakurajima glanced at Hyakuri, then turned her gaze to another person.
Chihaya Aine, this is the third party, the one who puzzled Mai.
She was carrying a lunchbox that she was originally going to give to Baili.
"I'm Chihaya Aine, a first-year student. Nice to meet you, Sakurajima-senpai!"
"Do you know me?"
“The school sometimes publishes academic rankings, and I often see Sakurajima, a third-year student, at the top of the list; and just now, Hyakusei mentioned Mai’s name, so it immediately came to mind.”
"Chihaya-kun, you and Hyakuri..."
"It's a long story, a tale about the two of us..."
Chihaya Aine looked like she was going to slowly recall the memories.
Seeing this, Baili gave a brief explanation before Sakurajima Mai could press him for more information.
He quit the band and helped mygo find a livehouse, while Aine made bento boxes for Hyakuri as payment.
"I see, but I still don't quite understand why Chihaya-san came along."
"Sakurajima-senpai should also know that Hyakusui-senpai used to be in a band, right?"
