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

There's no point in staying here any longer.

All the items worth recycling have been acquired.

With a spirit capable of creating countless clones and a collection of storage items, this detour to work overtime has really made a fortune.

Anyway, let's go home first.

It's very late now, and the unscrupulous merchant is exhausted, so let's give him a break this time.

Thinking that if he had the ability to snatch his spoils from him, he would never have resorted to such a despicable act, Sakurai temporarily put aside his plan to find out the origin of the severed arm from the unscrupulous merchant.

Sakurai boarded the motorcycle and sped straight home.

and...

It's more sincere to give a gift prepared for a late-night snack as soon as possible, right?

Unlike when she arrived, it was now late at night, and there weren't many pedestrians on the road. In addition, this time she didn't need to look for the way and knew how to get back, so it took Sakurai about half an hour to reach the apartment building.

He completed the parking maneuver with a drift and quickly reached his floor.

After glancing at the keys in his shoulder bag, Sakurai ultimately decided against opening the door to Kirisu Mafuyu's new house.

Mafuyu-nee and Koya-sai are girls after all, and unlike me, as women, they have a need to ensure that their privacy is not exposed.

Although...

Kirisu Mafuyu's excessively slovenly personality is utterly unconvincing.

In short, Sakurai knocked on Kirisu Mafuyu's door.

With a creaking sound, the scene was exactly the same.

Kirisu Mafuyu opened the door about a centimeter and peered through the crack at the person who had entered.

"Sister Mafuyu, it's me. I need to find some late-night snacks."

Having no intention of playing hide-and-seek with her, Sakurai bluntly revealed his identity.

Similar to the morning, Kirisu Mafuyu slammed the door shut with a bang, only to reopen it a second later.

"Come in and sit for a while."

Not long after, Xiao Yexiao, who was clearly dragged out of her sleep, appeared in front of Sakurai wearing pajamas and cotton slippers.

The new place is so different; the room is clean and tidy, it's definitely not like what Sister Zhendong's room should look like.

Leaning back lazily on the sofa, Sakurai glanced around the living room and his first impression was that he had belittled Kirisu Mafuyu to the extreme.

“I asked a friend to arrange a caregiver, I think her name is Rika Nishina, she comes to clean the house about every three days.”

"Even Mafuyu-nee's room should be kept very tidy."

Sakurai, who bluntly stated his arrangements, completely failed to notice Kirisu Mafuyu's twitching eyes and her unconsciously clenched fist.

"After all, I'm also worried that my late-night snack might get sick from being in the garbage dump for a long time."

"Don't worry, she's a professional. She's signed confidentiality agreements and commitment letters."

"I won't pry into anyone's privacy, and I understand what it means to keep a secret."

"Once you step out of this door, Mafuyu-nee will still be that stunning ice queen that everyone admires."

"There is absolutely no possibility of his identity being exposed."

Sitting up straight, having completely exposed Kirisu Mafuyu's shorts, Sakurai was unaware of the faint, menacing aura in the air.

He was utterly inept at all matters of interpersonal relationships and social interactions.

However, if it were Kirisu Mafuyu, she would probably forgive Sakurai.

after all...

She knew that Sakurai was just like that.

After yawning, he stood up, grabbed Xiao Yexiao by the neck, lifted her up, and left the scene.

All that remained was Kirisu Mafuyu staring menacingly at the spot where Sakurai had just been sitting, barely suppressing the urge to give Sakurai a headbutt so that this disrespectful student would have to be sent back to the classroom for remedial lessons.

42. The Martyr Prison Demon Sergeant & The Thousand-Soul Flowery Self-Slaying Child

"Sakurai is really a straight man."

"He doesn't understand a girl's heart at all."

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Xiao Yexiao, who had been forcibly dragged out of his deep sleep, made this assessment.

It's unclear whether she was referring to Sakurai stabbing Kirisu Mafuyu twice just now, or to disturbing her precious sleep as a beautiful girl.

"Disturbing a lady's sleep is a sure way to get struck by lightning."

Um...

Judging from the following sentence, the latter is probably more likely.

"Stop nagging, you little devil."

"Do you think getting struck by lightning will make me alright?"

"My body is so healthy that even if I were struck by lightning for an hour straight, I would be fine."

Sakurai tapped Xiaoyexiao's head, took a bottle of milk from the refrigerator and poured herself a glass. She didn't need to drink Xiaoyexiao's milk, as she had already brushed her teeth.

Children's gums can get damaged if they brush their teeth too much.

Sakurai certainly didn't want this girl to have any dental problems.

"How was your day? Did you have a pleasant time with your assistant?"

Sakurai gently ruffled Xiaoyexiao's hair and gestured for her to sit next to him, then chuckled softly.

"Stupid tape!"

Silently giving a thumbs-up, Xiao Yexiao nodded vigorously.

It seems that whatever Yotsuya Miko thinks is one thing, but Little Snack seems to be having a great time with her.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Someone like Yotsuya Miko, with her unique personality and physical condition, would be the perfect teammate for a late-night snack.

Given the relationship between the other party and Sakurai, it's normal for Xiaoyexiao to be satisfied.

"Very good, very obedient. Here... this is a reward prepared for you."

As she spoke, Sakurai took out Shiba Inu and elephant plush toys from her shoulder bag and stuffed them into Xiaoyexiao's arms.

The ghostly sergeant in military uniform and the phantom of the female spirit in white also flashed by.

“These two are the bodyguards I’ve prepared for you. Unlike the situation with Blazing Princess, they are more trustworthy as [Spirits].

After introducing the two spirits to Xiaoyexiao, Sakurai turned to look at the dolls where the two spirits resided.

"My student, Baoyue Yexiao, I'm entrusting her safety to you now."

After briefly explaining the details of the late-night snack to them, once again...

Sakurai earnestly pleaded with the two powerful spirits.

"After everything is over, you must kill me as promised."

Protecting children from harm was his mission as a soldier, and also the reason he joined the army before his death. However, the sergeant hoped that Sakurai would keep his word.

To give him hope at the end of everything.

"Of course, if you still crave death by then, I will kill you as promised."

"At the same time, I sincerely hope that you can find meaning and purpose in living in the time to come."

In response, Sakurai made his promise.

"I've said it before, I won't forget that you killed me, but I also won't forget that you helped me."

"I will do as you say."

"Consider it atonement."

The female spirit thus expressed her will.

If it's a late-night snack where someone is seeking power to protect their family, she wouldn't mind lending a hand.

However, this does not mean that she has forgiven Sakurai for what he did.

At the same time, she will also bear corresponding responsibility for all her actions during that period of madness.

"So that counts as an agreement, right?"

"Little Night Snack, give your new partner a name."

Sakurai tapped the forehead of the impatient little snacker who couldn't wait to hug the two plush toys, indicating that it was time to throw the Poké Ball.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yexiao, who was resting her chin on her hand, fell silent.

After much deliberation, she finally made up her mind.

"His body is as strong as steel, almost immortal; his victories are comparable to those of demons and gods—"

"The sergeant, who is imprisoned by the endless fate of dying for his country, is therefore called the Ghost Sergeant of the Prison of Martyrdom."

"I hope that one day you will reach a peaceful and fulfilling end."

"To fulfill a wish that seems impossible to achieve no matter what."

"Die!"

"The Martyred Prison Sergeant, a Ghost of the Army!!!"

The Shiba Inu's eyes lit up red; he had accepted the pardon of the midnight snack.

From this day forward, I will fight for her.

Until this body reaches its end, until he can pass away peacefully.

"A collection of spirits that sacrificed themselves to preserve the dignity of women, willing to split their souls and sever their life force in order to preserve the memories of people from the past."

"I'll call you Thousand Souls Splendid Self-Slaying Child."

"Please take care of me from now on."
