Crossover anime, a daily life that begins with hunting supernatural beings.

Are there any other options?

With its supernatural vitality, even if I smashed this [unnamed] mountain god into mincemeat, it would still be alive until I had completely defeated it.

In fact, if I hadn't made a wish and formed a bond from the beginning, this mountain god would have temporarily disappeared when he was defeated by me.

For the other side, temporarily escaping a troublesome enemy is not a shameful thing.

after all...

No enemy, however powerful, outlives Him.

"Any more?"

"A method that has not been tried before."

Sakurai asked himself this question.

Then he came to a conclusion.

Sakurai suddenly remembered that the shrewd businessman had once given him a lesson on this.

The supernatural can be divided into several major categories.

The first category...

Obsessive type.

In cases like this, if one can satisfy the other person's obsession, there is a way to help them pass on to the afterlife.

However, methods to release obsessions are often only effective for newly born supernatural beings. As time passes, supernatural beings whose memories of their previous life gradually fade will eventually turn into mindless monsters.

Therefore, when faced with them, Sakurai often chooses to use physical means to resolve the issue.

The second category...

Dependence type.

These kinds of supernatural phenomena usually have corresponding objects that represent them.

Earthbound spirits also belong to this category.

No matter how many times you kill it, you can't completely eliminate it until the object it's attached to is destroyed.

Other special types, such as ghost stories and benevolent spirits, will not be mentioned for the time being.

For various reasons, Sakurai had rarely encountered a "support type" before this, and even when he did...

He also killed them, treating them as obsessive types.

Since most of the supernatural entities reside on one's body, they sometimes accidentally destroy them while fighting.

Why bring this up now?

It was just because Sakurai suddenly remembered a few things.

First, it seems that the Mountain God has not appeared anywhere outside this mountain.

Even the information provided by the unscrupulous merchant only contained information about the fox priestess under the command of the mountain god.

There are no records of the Mountain God, not even the most unsubstantiated ones.

Secondly, during his battle with the Mountain God just now.

other side...

There was a time when she could have easily crushed him, but she suddenly hesitated.

Eliminate the utterly foolish possibility that the other person and you are kindred spirits.

With his back against the shrine gate, he clearly had the opportunity to give himself a quick and painless end.

But He stopped.

So...

Is there something inside the shrine?

For example, the divine artifact that the high monk used to seal the mountain god, for example...

Such as objects entrusted to the mountain god.

Without hesitation, Sakurai picked up the octagonal bright silver hammer and smashed it open, breaking open the double wooden door that had been sealed for many years.

Sakurai Yoko was satisfied with this.

This is the art style he wanted.

Using a dagger for gua sha is really stupid.

In a room filled with talismans and bells, an unidentified object was placed in the very center of the temple, bound by six ropes woven from talismans.

Sakurai had a feeling that whether it was a sealing tool or a vessel entrusted by the mountain god, this was his goal.

Sakurai took two steps forward and looked at the skull, which was now just bones under the white cloth.

If it looks like this.

In other words.

This must be the object entrusted by the Mountain God, right?

Otherwise, it must be something very important.

In that case...

There's no reason to leave it behind.

With that thought in mind, Sakurai silently raised his octagonal bright silver hammer.

The hammer fell.

Smash this object of affection that has been sealed away for many years to pieces.

Outside the temple, the unconscious mountain god suddenly let out a shrill wail.

In his final moments, guided by instinct, Sakurai stabbed himself and, having read the future timeline, rushed out of the temple.

They forcibly snatched a string of small bells from the mountain god, who was shattered into pieces like broken glass and about to disappear into black mist.

"Goodbye forever, Lord Mountain God."

After saying those words, he was so exhausted that his body went limp and he knelt down.

A strong wind blew up, and the swirling mist swallowed up Sakurai's vision.

Sakurai, who was kneeling, closed his eyes heavily.

Constant death, constant reading of the future, constant tension in battle...

It's so tiring.

Sakurai had never fought such a difficult battle in his life.

As the white mist dissipated, Sakurai collapsed, kneeling, in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain.

28. Yotsuya Miko is somewhat interested in goats.

Time passed, and Sakurai lay motionless among the fallen leaves.

a long time...

The figure, who had been as still as a corpse, twitched its fingers twice, and then Sakurai opened its eyes again.

Looking at the bell in his palm, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He laughed heartily and thoroughly.

That felt great, so satisfying!

What indescribable mountain god? He was still defeated by him.

Offal is...

Offal.

It's hundreds of years before you can touch his assistant.

If a supernatural entity wants to harm someone, they'll have to get past it first.

My temples are throbbing terribly; the constant deaths and resurrections, coupled with the accumulated fatigue over this period...

Sakurai felt a darkness spreading before his eyes.

This was the first time he had experienced tinnitus and dizziness, as he lacked the ability to feel pain.

Is it because I regained my memories?

It really is...

A novel experience.

But does this mean that perhaps one day in the future I will regain my sense of pain?

That's wonderful! I haven't had spicy food in ages.

After a while, Sakurai finally snapped out of his reverie and regained some composure.

He slapped his face hard with his backhand, knowing it wouldn't hurt anyway.

"So, this is the only one we got."

Sakurai felt a pang of heartache at the thought that there were still many supernatural remnants left behind on the way here that she hadn't had time to collect.

It broke our hearts.

If I got all of those, I wonder how much stronger I would become.

Really are...

What a loss.

However, at least it wasn't a waste of effort.

Looking at the bell in his hand, Sakurai grew to like it more and more.

and many more...
