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

The feeling of the fire of the soul.

Just as he and the unscrupulous merchant had speculated, Taeko, who frequently came into contact with Aragami, successfully "evolved" the ability to control the soul fire.

Before long, in a room where the perceived temperature had reached 80 degrees Celsius or even higher, the polar bear plush toy had grown to the size of a high school student.

It has now swelled so much that it is no longer recognizable as it originally was.

The stretched-out doll was constantly wriggling, as if something was about to burst out from inside.

As this process continued, bright red blood flowed continuously from her pores, and she continued to greedily consume the remaining debris on the ground.

Unbeknownst to them, the hill-like remains on the ground had shrunk by about two-thirds of their original height.

"Aren't you full yet?"

"What a greedy fellow."

"Don't overeat and upset your stomach!"

"Otherwise, I'll be very angry if all the invested costs are lost."

Miss Taeko ignored Sakurai's words and continued to devour the remnants on the ground, driven only by her instincts.

"Okay, then I'll lend a hand."

Let me lend you a hand.

Seeing this, Sakurai, smiling, squatted down and forcibly stuffed the remaining items on the ground into the doll.

His hand easily slipped through the brown leather sheath and entered its interior.

One, two, three...

Sakurai smiled and inserted the Arakami Fang after all the dolls left on the ground had been stuffed inside.

With a whoosh, the fire of the soul blazed fiercely.

"If you don't want to die, then take control of the power of this flame."

"Make the flame of your soul a part of you."

Sakurai said this with a smile.

Taeko was unable to answer Sakurai's question.

A woman's piercing wail came from within the doll.

As the wailing reached its peak, the piercing and sharp sound nearly destroyed all the glassware in Sakurai's room.

The next second, the polar bear plush toy exploded.

Crimson blood splattered in all directions.

The room was stained crimson.

As expected, Sakurai, who was right next to him, also became covered in blood.

Did it explode because it couldn't withstand the hundreds of debris and was stabbed?

不 ...

The opposite of this situation.

The result was...

Having consumed hundreds of remnants, she became so powerful that the polar bear doll could not contain her strength.

So it exploded uncontrollably, that's what it meant—

reality.

Sakurai raised his hand to catch the Arakami Fang that flew back, confirming this fact.

The bloodstains on the ground gradually congealed, forming the silhouette of a woman with her head bowed.

She and Sakurai were very close.

An invisible flame, under her control, formed a circular barrier that enveloped Sakurai and herself.

A chilling blackness was about to engulf Sakurai's body.

These are strands of a young girl's hair, built from resentment.

Did the supernatural being named Honto Taeko go berserk because she suddenly became too powerful?

The supernatural is the supernatural; such occurrences are not unusual.

Despite the horrifying sight, Sakurai's expression remained completely unchanged.

"Have you had enough fun?"

Having reached this conclusion, he asked the girl in front of him.

The girl didn't speak, but that was to be expected, as the supernatural is inherently incompatible with humans.

This is quite normal.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that those who try to turn the supernatural into their companions are the truly bizarre.

The strands of hair on all sides seemed ready to spring into action, as if they were about to wrap around and bind Sakurai's body at any moment.

It eventually devoured him completely.

Each twinkling star is a manifestation of the fire of the soul.

The moment you touch it, your soul will be ignited by this tiny spark.

It transformed into firewood, burning fiercely.

Did it really backfire?

Sakurai, who had always been prejudiced against the supernatural, thought this way.

"If they won't listen to what I say."

"The only way to communicate is to beat you down."

"If you're still alive by then."

As he stated these words, the Arakami Fang and the Eight-Sided Bright Silver Hammer simultaneously floated in the air in front of Sakurai.

Then Sakurai Kazuki grabbed the crimson dagger on the left.

The sledgehammer slammed heavily onto the ground, and a flash of silver light, like an arc of electricity, instantly suppressed all the restless strands of hair that were stirring in all directions.

Slumped to the ground, Honto Taeko was shocked to find that she could no longer control her hair.

Now that I've gained the ability to control the flames of the soul, I'll use this to play with you.

Don't fall down too quickly, at least let me warm up properly first.

As soon as he stepped on the ground, Sakurai brandished his short dagger, ready to pierce Taeko's body.

The fiery flames of his soul burned fiercely, and Sakurai's movements were without the slightest hesitation...

Stride forward.

One second before the battle officially begins.

The blood that formed the girl's figure dissolved again, transforming her back into the polar bear doll.

Miss Taeko was very unhappy.

It was just a joke, is it really necessary to take it so seriously?

She did lose her mind at first, but she regained her senses after the polar bear plush toy exploded.

I just wanted to use this opportunity to scare Sakurai.

If we could give him a good beating, that would be even better.

I'm unhappy, very unhappy.

The paranormal lady, obediently suppressing her supernatural reactions, lay on the ground in a state of self-isolation.

"You can come in."

Looking at the motionless polar bear plush toy, Sakurai thought for a moment and then placed the Aragami Kiba on it before turning around to call out for a late-night snack.

Running all the way to the edge of Sakurai, Xiao Yexiao, who had secretly observed the whole process, couldn't wait to pick up the polar bear plush toy on the ground and hug it to her chest.

She was afraid that Sakurai would change his mind and attack her, this hard-won helper.

Xiaoyexiao knew perfectly well that, given Sakurai's tough, chauvinistic style, he was actually capable of doing something like this.

13. Give it its true name, and let it bloom—Sparkling Soul-Burning Princess.

"Don't worry, I won't harm her."

"I'm just checking the level of your amulet."

"Not bad, it can barely guarantee your safety most of the time."

Sakurai gently ruffled Xiaoyexiao's hair, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"At least it can delay the operation until I get back."

"It came in handy; my legacy wasn't wasted."

Sakurai crouched down, picked up the Aragami Fang, and tucked it into his waistband, indicating that he wasn't such a brutal guy.

Compared to fighting supernatural entities of this level, Sakurai is now more inclined to...

A battle and struggle between gods.

Having already slain two gods, he had unknowingly become completely absorbed in it.

They gave it their all, using their strength, courage, life, and even a sliver of luck, betting everything to finally reap the fruits of victory.

This thrill of defeating a powerful enemy made Sakurai...

Can't stop.

In particular, he was able to use that opportunity to become stronger each time.

If he comes a few more times, will he be able to get a little closer to "that guy"?
