Yuuki Maken'yū made offhand jokes simply to keep the conversation between them from becoming too bleak.
But then, his expression turned slightly serious:
"I bear you no ill will, so let's be clear with each other. I'm well aware that there is no one like you in the official organization, and I admire you for that."
"Oh, and if I'm not mistaken, you're the one who dealt with the high-speed granny on the highway, right?"
As Yuuki spoke, he took a drag from the cigarette in his mouth, his eyes twinkling with a glint as he looked at Kamiyagawa.
Alone in a place like Inunaki Pass, he had taken care of two strange encounters from ghost stories.
No matter what the young man's intentions were for doing so, Yuuki Maken'yū genuinely admired his guts and courage.
It's no exaggeration to say that just on this point alone, many young official exorcists couldn't compare to him.
Moreover, this young man not only had the bravery, but also the strength to match it.
