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

"If you want to bully Little Night Snack, you'll have to get past me first."

With an elegant smile, Blazing Princess twirled the parasol in her hand, and specks of light appeared out of thin air, transforming into beams of light that surged toward the faceless man in the suit who had stolen Little Night Snack's face, igniting a blazing starfire called the Flame of the Soul on his body.

As the name suggests, the Blazing Princess, with her sparks of fire, ignites the souls of everything within sight.

He visualized the despair and pain he felt in that fire before his death, transforming it into flames that burned everything to ashes.

27. Miss Mary's Call

It turns out that the mutual assistance among ghost stories isn't just a joke in the setting book; it actually reflects real-world facts.

It's really incredibly interesting.

Okay, in that case, before I go find some late-night snacks, I'll set aside a little time to play with you.

The abandoned doll, Miss Mary.

As a member of the ghost stories, can you bring me joy?

Sakurai glanced at his now-black phone and looked up with amusement.

So, that's how it is now...

Has the time for encountering the demons arrived?

A setting sun hangs in the sky, and beside it, a full moon appears and disappears. Today...

Is it the fifteenth?

Still sixteen.

What should I do? It's not even Mid-Autumn Festival yet, and I'm already starting to miss home.

I miss that home I can never go back to.

Leaning against a tree trunk in the green belt, Sakurai's lips curled up slightly, seemingly quite pleased.

Then, the phone rang again.

Before Sakurai could press the answer button, the call connected automatically.

With a beep, a young woman's cool voice came from the other end of the phone.

she says--

"Hello, I'm Miss Mary, and I'm currently in the alley outside the school."

Then, before Sakurai could speak, the call automatically ended, and even now, when Sakurai checks the call log, he can't find any trace of that call.

It was exactly the same way the bartender usually called him.

Sakurai casually dialed a number and turned off the phone screen. Looking at his reflection on the screen, his eyes flickered, and he turned his attention back to Miss Mary.

Miss Mary the doll, an evil spirit residing in the telephone.

It is a rather unique type of ghost story.

Compared to other ghost stories, she was polite, liked to introduce herself, and was particularly enthusiastic about telling you where she was.

She's afraid you won't know she's coming to find you.

This gives you a chance to find a way to get rid of her.

Unfortunately, very few people actually escaped Miss Mary's hunt.

In short... she will keep calling you relentlessly until she comes to you.

Even if you turn off your phone or destroy it, it won't help. In the end, she will come to you after one phone call after another.

unless...

You can only escape her pursuit if you don't exist in this world.

That is to say...

I don't need to go looking for her; she'll come to me on her own.

It's truly a strange story about making things convenient for others.

He licked his lips, quite pleased with Miss Mary's actions.

Just as Speak of the devil, the phone rang again. Sakurai had just thought of Miss Mary.

This time, before Sakurai could even take out his phone, Miss Mary on the other end of the line eagerly answered.

"Hello, I'm Miss Mary, and I'm at the school gate now."

too slow.

If we keep waiting like this, I don't know how long it will take.

Judging by the timeline, Xiaoyexiao should have finished collecting the items by now. I should give her a call to check on things.

Thinking this, Sakurai called Little Night Snack the moment Miss Mary hung up the phone.

"I can't get through, is there something wrong with my phone or...?"

Damn, that brat really didn't listen to me at all.

Sakurai, belatedly realizing what had happened, couldn't help but swear. With his blood pressure rising a bit, Sakurai didn't hesitate much and ran towards the principal's office.

No matter what the situation, we must prepare for the worst. If it really is true that Xiaoxiao disobeyed me and went to a room that couldn't be opened, I will definitely make Mafuyu-nee give her a good spanking afterwards.

If the flowers don't bloom, I'm not surnamed Yin.

Sakurai was so angry that her face almost contorted, and she was thinking fiercely about how to punish that disobedient brat.

But before that, we need to get that brat out of there first.

The Principal's Office, which does not exist in this world.

As for Miss Mary, according to the records, this ghost story was naturally keen on repeatedly telling the victim her current location by phone, in order to break down the victim's psychological defenses.

He appeared behind the victim only after making the last phone call.

In that case, let's resolve both issues at once.

As a teacher, the most basic thing he must do is ensure the safety of his students.

So...

Go for it in style!

......

"Hello, I am Miss Mary, and I am currently on the school playground."

By the time Miss Mary made the call, Sakurai had already arrived in front of the administration building where the principal's office was located.

If I remember correctly, the principal's office is on the top floor. In that case, let's go there first.

After kicking the dazed and confused supernatural creature away, Sakurai, in order to save time, grabbed onto the drainpipe on the wall to deliver the final blow.

After cutting himself to calculate the best point of leverage.

He shifted his weight to his upper body, like a skilled climber monkey, and grabbed the drainpipe, quickly leaping upwards.

In just a few seconds, we arrived at the floor where the principal's office was located.

With a swift turn of the page, Sakurai successfully arrived at the door next to the principal's office.

Without even thinking, he raised his leg and kicked out.

The dark red wooden door remained motionless, without even a trace of being kicked.

Are you not moving at all?

With my current physique, let alone a mere wooden door, even a steel door forged from composite alloys would not be able to withstand my full-force kick.

Really?

The guy inside the room that can't be opened has woken up.

The principal's office has now become another world, independent of reality.

Even for me, if I wanted to break through the world's barriers, my expertise wouldn't be relevant.

My student is so efficient that it's almost excessive. Should I call it a happy problem?

Of all times, this has to happen.

However, it's not like we're completely clueless.

Although they haven't known each other for very long, Sakurai believes he has some understanding of late-night snacks.

If we're talking about a late-night snack...

Thinking this, Sakurai walked to the window next to the principal's office.

After some careful exploration, Sakurai saw a white mark in the center of the window that was almost invisible unless you looked closely.

really--

Having learned nine or eight tenths of my habits from Xiaoyexiao, she definitely won't just sit there waiting for my rescue.

If nothing unexpected happened, this white mark was probably Xiaoyexiao's doing. Thinking this, Sakurai witnessed the white mark change, extremely subtly...

A crack gradually appeared on the white mark, eventually extending to a length of about 11 centimeters.

28. Hello, Miss Mary is behind you.

After rubbing his temples a couple of times and thinking for a moment, Sakurai pressed his index finger against the crack and applied slight pressure. He seemed to be able to see through the window that, on the other side of the glass, a disobedient child was diligently swinging a hand hammer.

Sakurai breathed a sigh of relief after casually hanging up the phone call from Miss Mary and learning that she had arrived at the building in front of the administration building.

Just as he thought, his student wasn't the type to entrust her fate to others. Even if she couldn't be contacted, she would think about possible ways to survive on her own.

In that case, let me, your teacher, lend you a hand.

Raising his octagonal, gleaming silver hammer, Sakurai slammed it down with all his might.

boom! ! !

The hammer blow left him completely still, but the reaction force sent Sakurai's hand flying backward.
