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

We don't expect the other party to go to great lengths for a late-night snack, but at least they shouldn't desert us at the last minute.

Sakurai, who was clearly a brute himself, thought this way.

"Are you going out to a haunted place?"

In an instant, Xiao Yexiao darted to Sakurai's side, her interest and enthusiasm for this topic at 1000 percent ignited.

"No, I'm taking you to see your guardian."

"You don't think that no one cares about you while your parents are being protected, do you?"

“I’m not old enough to be your temporary guardian.”

After flicking Xiaoyexiao's head twice, Sakurai turned and went into the bathroom.

"Oh."

His enthusiasm deflated completely, like a punctured balloon, and Xiao Yexiao visibly slumped down, head bowed.

The little midnight snack girl pouted and sulked.

She moved slowly to Sakurai's side, took out an unopened set of toiletries from under the sink, and started brushing her teeth in sync with Sakurai's movements.

"After we meet Mafuyu-nee, if there's still time, I'll take you hunting a bunch of supernatural beings."

"I told you, I would prepare a batch of supernatural items for you just in case."

After brushing his teeth and rinsing his mouth, Sakurai quietly added the second half of the sentence.

"Yay~ cough cough cough!!!"

Excitedly, Xiao Yexiao jumped up, but her overjoyed state caused her to choke on the foam in her mouth.

"Don't get so excited."

"So impulsive and clumsy, what a naughty child."

Sakurai patted her on the back and handed the cup full of water to Xiaoyexiao so she could have a good drink.

"Sakurai is the best."

Having finally calmed down, Xiao Yexiao tugged at Sakurai's clothes and started acting cute.

"Stop, don't try that."

"Hurry up and finish washing up. After we meet Mafuyu-nee, we need to take you back to get some things."

"You know, right? After this, you won't be able to go back until we defeat [Void]."

Sakurai ruffled the little black hair that had sticked up from her midnight snack a couple of times, then looked at her reflection in the mirror, squinting slightly.

7. Bringing a late-night snack to meet your parents (no negative connotations)

The very next second after Sakurai finished speaking.

The slightly disappointed Xiao Yexiao's eyes seemed to ignite with a blazing fire, and the energetic Xiao Yexiao instantly entered a state of high speed.

Whether it was Sakurai's imagination or not, he thought he heard a cheerful shout of "Let's Ghost!"

Sakurai tapped Xiaoyexiao's forehead again, and feeling that the touch was quite nice, he casually washed his face and left the bathroom.

I always felt like he wasn't taking on a student, but rather adopting a pet.

Or the kind that's really unruly and doesn't listen at all.

Shaking his head, Sakurai snapped his fingers, and his clothes changed from pajamas to the uniform of Ichinose High School.

It's a holiday today, but if I'm going to see Mafuyu-nee, this outfit is definitely more appropriate.

After all, I'm a "good student."

Although I don't believe that myself.

Sakurai walked into the polar bear plush toy that lay motionless and utterly dejected on the bed, looking utterly hopeless. He stared at the pair of dark buttons for a long time.

He then picked up the Arakami Fang that was placed on top and put it back into the scabbard at his waist.

Since the Aragami Fang was upgraded, this spot is definitely more suitable for the child than putting it in a shoulder bag.

It makes fighting much easier.

The octagonal bright silver hammer harbored a great deal of resentment towards this.

Why does it have to stay inside a shoulder bag?

Yes, it's too big; it can't fit Sakurai at all.

"Sakurai, let's go on a date, Let's Ghost."

The preparations were completed in less than a minute.

Holding a motionless polar bear plush toy in one hand, and giving a thumbs-up, Xiao Yexiao, having completed all the preparations, looked at Sakurai with great excitement.

She seemed to be unable to wait any longer.

Hopefully, this child won't be scared when he sees Mafuyu-nee.

Sakurai knew all too well how incredibly powerful Mafuyu was with children.

When that face turns stern, it's quite something.

Hope the little midnight snack guy is alright.jpg

Well...

We'll talk about that later.

She carried her shoulder bag in one hand and grabbed a late-night snack with her other hand as she left the apartment.

Speaking of which...

Are all the merchants on this floor unscrupulous?

I don't think I've seen my neighbor yet.

With these questions in mind, Sakurai took the late-night snack and went downstairs.

Um...

That's faster.

......

Carrying a small, pouting late-night snack, Sakurai pressed the doorbell of Kirisu Mafuyu's apartment twice.

He didn't know if Kirisu Mafuyu was awake yet, but just in case, he bought some souvenirs on the way and came over.

Time passed by, and after a few minutes, the door opened a crack about one centimeter wide. Kirisu Mafuyu peeked through the crack at the door.

It wasn't that I was worried the person outside was a bad guy; I was simply afraid that outsiders would see what was happening inside.

Before Kirisu Mafuyu could even see him, Sakurai called out to her the moment the door opened.

"Mafuyu-nee, it's me."

The moment Sakurai spoke, Kirisu Mafuyu, startled, slammed the door shut and then flung it open again.

I don't know where the strength came from, but one hand suddenly reached out from the room and pulled Sakurai inside.

And also the late-night snack that Sakurai was holding.

The entire process was completed seamlessly, completely avoiding any risk or possibility of privacy leaks.

When it comes to protecting privacy, Kirisu Mafuyu is a master.

"Mafuyu-nee, if I remember correctly, it's been less than a week since I last cleaned your room, right?"

"Specifically, is it three days or five days?"

Sakurai put down the small snack he was carrying on the floor and glanced around the room, somewhat speechless.

"Ahem, Sakurai-san, what brings you here so early? Is there something you need?"

A slight blush crept onto her cheeks, and Kirisu Mafuyu, feeling a little embarrassed by Sakurai's words, looked around for a crack in the ground she could crawl into.

Very well, her room was completely empty except for a mess of trash.

Beautifully done.

As Kirisu Mafuyu pondered what to say, her gaze unconsciously drifted around until a rather conspicuous, twitching ahoge (cowlick) entered her field of vision.

Following her ahoge (cowlick), Kirisu Mafuyu lowered her head and saw a little girl with purple hair and no expression.

With a single stray hair sticking up stubbornly on her head, she blinked and curiously looked around.

With a sudden inspiration, she used this opportunity to begin her plan to change the subject.

"This child is..."

Looking at Sakurai, Kirisu Mafuyu waited for Sakurai to give an answer such as that the child had accidentally gotten lost.

"It's a late-night snack~"

She made two "oh" sounds, raised her little fists twice, and introduced herself to Kirisu Mafuyu's little snack with a blank expression.

"Sakurai-kun, did you come all the way here so early in the morning just because of this little midnight snack?"

Kirisu Mafuyu asked Sakurai with some uncertainty, wondering what Sakurai's purpose was in coming here.

"Baoyue Night Snack, my student, the mysterious side."

“Her parents are being targeted by a very difficult guy, and just in case, I’ve asked a friend to hide them.”

"She's been learning from me lately."

"Because her parents are temporarily [missing], she needs a temporary guardian."

"I'm still a minor, so..."

Walking around behind Xiaoyexiao, Sakurai lifted Xiaoyexiao up to her own height with both hands.

The situation was briefly explained.

As for who the "temporary guardian" mentioned in the conversation is, it should be obvious.
