The Hero Who Returned Remains the Strongest in the Modern World - Chapter 11

Chapter 11

I just sighed.

Uaaa… She suffers excessively from chuunibyou…

Something like eyepatch and cast… It easily passes the level of attentiveness.

And she was muttering something with a saturnine expression.

【Skill：Sharp ears has activated】

“I didn’t think that a purseweb spider-like monster would come out… It’s chaotic erosion was more than expectations…”

It seems the setting was she fought with some monster.

I sat on my chair and shrugged my shoulders.

In the evening she had already taken her eyepatch and cast off.

While thinking that she had already lost interest in make believe I was going towards home.

And on my road to home I was approaching the forest park.

This is the park where I made the Kuchisake woman fly away… Speaking of which, the time when I was a child there were rumors that a monster would come out.

However, I haven’t believed in it at all since I didn’t meet any monsters until now.

While thinking that I heard God’s voice.

【Skill：Danger sense has activated】

Danger sense, did it say?

I turned behind me on the left side as the danger sensor was pointing.

“Spider…?”

There was a humongous spider.

It’s legs when it would spread them out they would probably easily surpass 10 meters.

The size of its body was huge as an adult man from thighs to the head, around 1 meter x 30 centimeters radius.

It’s just like the big spider which I’ve defeated in the different world…

Well, leaving that aside, Sakaguchi-san did say something about a spider…

Now that I remember, my curse resistance skill also activated from the first mail of Abeno-senpai…

This time and last time perhaps… While I was thinking…

The spider came rushing at me.

Side: Abeno Kaguya

It seems for the hunt yesterday a spider came out.

My older sister and cousins fought with it and then scattered because they lost, Lela Sakaguchi struggled bitterly but in the end she suffered greatly.

Well, since she’s a Dominion she has divine protection so her abnormalities will quickly heal.

As long as she doesn’t suffer a fatal blow any abnormality will perfectly heal in 48 years, so it’s no problem.

“Progress of chaos is fast.”

Explaining the current situation… In ancient times a great demon was sealed in this region… No, perhaps saying it’s a God it’s fine as well and the revival of this huge spiritual being is nearing.

And receiving the after-effects of the revival, lower grade monsters like the Kuchisake woman and teke teke from urban legend can take material form from the fluctuations in the spiritual field.

If the opponent is the usual spiritual being then it can be destroyed but if it’s the Wrathful God then it’s a different story.

Since time memorial the way to deal with this ultra spiritual being is with seals and chants.

That’s right, it’s a being humans aren’t able to deal with… A God.

And when the time of its revival is nearing there’s a special event where we appease it by sacrificing a shrine maiden and asking it politefully to go back to sleep.

That is a custom as old as history, and it is the role of my family the Abeno.

Accompanying the revival of the Wrathful God is a carnival of vulgar monsters.

That’s what is happening in the city currently, and it’s a phenomenon where monster/spirits walk through the streets at night like it was written in the olden books.

In that case, my family who’re in charge of this place have decided that the shrine maiden with the lowest count of exorcisms will be offered to the God since that shrine maiden would die anyway.

And now, the Abeno family is working day and night for the decision of who’ll be the sacrifice.

Catching wind of the monster roaming at night so an irregular has joined in the fray from the Holy Church who hold manslaughter of demons as supreme decree.

Rather if they’re going to butt in… They should properly help with the dealing of the Wrathful God.

It shouldn’t be impossible for them if they seriously do it.

Well, though that it’s the original purpose of the head of Abeno family… Anyhow, if they try to deal with the Wrathful god, then the damage will be too great.

In the end, if we compare having a chance to lose the highest class of exorcist against offering the lowest shrine maiden exorcist then the result of which needs to be chosen is clear as day.

And with that the stage of the Abeno family shrine maidens gruesome struggle for existence by increasing their subjugations of monsters has opened up.

And I’m at the bottom.

I’m the least experienced and youngest of all the 5 shrine maidens.

If it’s in pure talent then I won’t lose to my elder sister or cousins… But, I lack experience severely.

Well, at this rate the one being offered up will be me.

Actually, I myself have given up mostly.

That’s why, yesterday I took the unbelievable choice of ending the hunt and returned home.

I’m aware that I caused a bit of trouble to him but I want to experience the so called normal youth even if it was only for a brief time…

Evening.

I smiled bitterly when I confirmed from afar that Lela Sakaguchi’s has made a perfect recovery.

Despite being hurt so badly to have her internal organs exposed out she’s like nothing happened at all.

I have no words to describe her, but she’s truly like a monster…

And then, I was approaching the forest park on my way home.

The time is dusk, it’s exactly the disaster hour. (TN: similar to ‘the witching hour’ but not midnight)

And at that time I vivid hunch in my head running.

Presence of a monster?

And I saw a scene of a spider attacking Morishita-kun.

Speaking of the earth spider… It’s a high-grade monster that can’t be defeated unless the head of the family is asked to assemble a subjugation party.

The proof is… Yesterday, both my elder sister and cousin ran away from it and Lela Sekaguchi from the Holy Church who boasts the same power as the Abeno family head was defeated.

No matter how much unordinary Morishita-kun is, I don’t think that he alone is able to do anything.

I took out tokens from the pocket of the satchel and threw it.

I don’t think I’ll beat it, but it should create time for both of us to run away.

At the time I was rushing to Morishita-kun…

One punch.

I don’t think he put a lot of strength into it, but with that uppercut he sent the innards of the earth spider flying in every side.

He nonchalantly talked in the middle of the rain of flesh and blood.

“Ah! Abeno-senpai! Good day!”

“Awa… Awawawawa…”

I lost standing from being too surprised and sat on the floor.
