Harukara Rescue Mission





 

“Umm, how about this?”
Leica raised her hand first .

“If Rosary’s situation is like she’s packed into a box, wouldn’t she be able to come out if we bang it enough?”

…Can such an old-fashioned, home TV-fixing remedy work?

“Can spirits be beaten out of whoever they possess?”
Beelzebub was also folding her arms, and tilted her head to the side .

“Whatever . Why don’t we just try it out? Better than not trying, right?”
“Azusa-sama! If we carelessly beat Harukara up, she’ll be dead for sure!”
That’s right . Times like these make my seriously high status a problem… .

So, it was decided that she would receive a beating from Sharusha .

“Alright . Beat her up gently, but strong enough that Rosary’s soul leaves . ”
“The hurdle is high… . ”
Even I who was giving guidance thought that way .

“Well then…here it goes . Harukara-san, sorry… . ”
Strike! Strike! Strike!

“Ah! That hurts! It hurts!”

Seems Rosary can also feel pain . …The one receiving damage is Harukara though .





“So you feel like you’re coming out?”
“I-it doesn’t feel like it but… . Ah! It hurts! It really hurts!”
“Sharusha, stop! You can stop now!”

This time Farufa raised her hand .

“Umm…ok . How about we scare here? Maybe we can scare her to the point that she gives up the ghost?”

That’s also a classic . Surprisingly, their line of thought is the same as Japan .

“But how are we going to scare her silly?”
“Ah! Farufa has a good idea!”

I unsteadily rose up in the still dark sky with levitation .
Along with me I brought the Rosary-possessed Harukara .

“N-nee-san… . F-for the love of G-God, pl-please stop!! Ha-haven’t we a-already re-reached an a-absurd h-h-height?!”

“Well then, you think you can come out? …Still not possible?”
“It-it’s no use… . I d-don’t think I c-can co-come out y-yet… . ”
It seems the fear factor from being this high up is weak .

“It can’t be helped . Moving on to the second phase . ”
“…Eh?! Th-there’s a second phase?!”
There wouldn’t be any point if Rosary wasn’t surprised, so I didn’t tell her .

“Alright, it’s time for you to fall~ . ”
“EHHHHHHHHH?! Pl-please don’t do it!!”
“Don’t worry . Leica will turn into a dragon and catch you…I think . ”




“S-SAVE ME!! I’M GOING TO DIE!!”

If she got scared with just this, maybe she’ll come out . Seems this might actually work .

“Sorry . Harukara’s life depends on it . Endure it . ”
Then, I let go of her hand .

“UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”

After a bit of tremendous wailing, I could her Leica’s voice say “You’re safe” . I slowly descended and assessed the situation .

“So how’d it go? Did she finally come out?”
“Ane-san… . I’m still in here… . I thought I was going to die again… . ”
Rosary slumped on top of the dragon-form Leica with a pale face . She’s still in Harukara’s body .

“Seems this is also a failure… . ”

After that, we kept on with the trial and error . For example, at first morning light, we called for the village’s clergyman and had her receive an exorcism .

“AAAAAH!!! I’m dying! I’m really going to die again here!!”

Rosary was in danger of being exorcised instead of just leaving Harukara’s body so we stopped that .


As we were still thinking of solutions, it was nearly noontime .

Beelzebub told me that, according to her, “If Rosary doesn’t come out soon, Harukara will be in danger of having bad influences manifest . This all depends on the strength of Harukara’s soul . ”

“We’re almost out of time…but we haven’t slept yet . Our minds are becoming dull because of that . This is bad… . ”
Leica was already repeatedly bobbing her head . Farufa and Sharusha were already at their limits of drowsiness so they already went to sleep . …There’s no way for us to find a solution like this… .

“I’m…also sleepy… . However… . if I nod off here…Harukara will die… . …Wait… . ”





I may be onto something .

“Leica? Whenever Harukara drinks alcohol, she always drinks herself dead drunk, right?”
“Yes . She does have that quirk . ”
“What if…if we get the Harukara right now with two souls to sleep…maybe only Rosary’s soul will be put to sleep . Won’t something like Harukara switching places with her happen then?”
I didn’t have any scientific basis for this . It was only a suggestion .

“There might be some merit in trying this method where we put her to sleep . ”

Therefore, we had Rosary, who was using Harukara’s body, rapidly drink alcohol .

“I-I haven’t ever drunk alcohol before though… . ”

“Don’t worry! It’s Harukara’s body after all, so it’s fine . Drink to your heart’s content!”

Harukara almost always falls dead drunk on her fourth cup . Since she pulled an all-nighter though, she passed out right there after finishing the third cup .

We watched as Rosary in Harukara’s body collapsed .

Before long, Harukara groggily woke up .

“Ugh…my head… . I don’t recall drinking though… . Also…it’s really bright around… . Is it noon? What’s going on?”
“It’s Harukara!” “She’s back!” “Oh! It worked!”
“Ehh…? Why is everyone so happy even though I just woke up after being drunk…? …Come to think of it, my body feels really heavy . Rather…I feel that something’s stuck to me… . ”

Yeah . Stuck is probably the right word… .

“This… . If Harukara’s consciousness is stronger than before, it might be alright . It’ll be hard to possess her if she’s like this . ”

“But still, what should we do?”

“Just leave it to me! I’ve got a sure-fire magic spell that’ll wake one up to the point they’d be angry!”

It seems like Beelzebub has a plan . She immediately yanked on Harukara’s hand .

“Alright, come with me . Come on, hurry up!”

“Eh? Wait…over there is… . Isn’t that the bathroom? Why? The bath water is…isn’t it already water?” [1]

“Like I said, it is fine!”

Beelzebub grabbed hold of Harukara, and tossed her right into the bath .

SPLASH!!!

A magnificent spray of water rose, and a soaked Harukara came out .

“Wh-what was that for?! Come on!! I was already wide awake!!”

“Seems so . Looks like she was able to properly separate . ”

Behind Harukara, the transparent body of Rosary can be see .

“Eh…… I’m, out……?”

Rosary mumbled absent-mindedly .

“Hooray! The separation operation is a success!”

Footnote:

1 . This is kinda weird because bath water and normal water are classified differently in Japanese . Harukara is saying that the bath water got cold so it’s almost like normal water .
