That evening, when my father came home unusually early, I told him about the letter I received from the Kamiarizuki family. He responded with a thoughtful "Hmm," his expression serious.
"I had been meaning to discuss something about you, Itsuki. This is perfect timing. We'll go tomorrow."
"About me? Why?"
"Well, I suppose it's time I explained what's going on."
My father nodded, took a sip from the teacup in front of him, and winced, muttering, "Hot."
"You exorcised Raikou Douji."
"Yeah, I did."
"That's become quite the topic of discussion within the exorcist community."
"A topic of discussion?"
This was the first time I'd heard of an exorcist community. Could this be what the man in the black suit meant by an "uproar"? Is that what's happening within this mysterious community of exorcists? The thought made me curious.
