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

However, Sakurai simply couldn't bear to watch them die.

There's no other way; in that case, we have to change our strategy.

It's like something out of a timeline I've seen unfold; now all I can do is play this game with them.

He quickly sent a message to Miko Yotsuya, telling her to find a nearby coffee shop to sit in or go straight home.

After sighing twice, Sakurai rubbed his face vigorously, then put on an extremely gentle smile, picked up the snack, and ran off.

After that...

"Um, although it might be a bit presumptuous of me to say this, if you don't mind, could we join this game?"

The brother and sister (master and apprentice) duo, who suddenly appeared before the ritual of the curse "Happy Sachiko" was to begin, said this.

This is...

Among countless timelines, this was the quickest and most convenient unfolding that Sakurai saw.

What happens next is beyond his knowledge.

Sakurai's ability to read future timelines isn't convenient enough yet.

......

......

This world, this inner world called Heavenly God Elementary School, is filled with a strange and negative aura.

Or rather, it stems from the resentment and malice of a particular person.

The human beings still living here are constantly subjected to mental pollution.

Until all hope is lost, or until one completely succumbs to the severe negative emotions within oneself, and then...

They will suffer a mental breakdown or fall into depravity at the fastest speed.

In other words, the so-called "darkening".

It's not the "darkening" aspect in ACGN terminology.

The corruption of Heavenly God Elementary School is, more specifically, a phenomenon unique to this inner world.

A person who has turned to the dark side will become completely devoid of emotion, or they may unconsciously kill others.

In other words, they become slaves to negative emotions.

When a person finishes their transformation into a villain, they will lose all memories of the period during which they were villainous.

Even if they killed someone, they would completely forget it.

In such a world, you are either killed or you kill someone else.

Anyone who mistakenly enters this world will only have this ending.

So far, there have been no surprises.

What a perverse place...

Such an underworld has no reason to exist.

Sakurai knew that most of the underworlds would cause great mental pollution to the living.

But this was the first time he had ever seen a world so polluted.

I always feel...

Perhaps a terrible secret is hidden here.

Sakurai narrowed his eyes slightly and frowned slightly. With his limited knowledge, he understood the situation at a glance.

At the same time, he realized that he absolutely had to hurry up and conquer this world.

So...

Next, we need to take the initiative.

Find everyone involved before it's too late.

Innocent protection, guilty punishment.

Those whose crimes are unforgivable shall be executed on the spot.

Contrary to the bartender's expectations, Sakurai did not resist killing.

If possible, he would prefer that the blood on the tip of the knife be something inhuman.

I wonder how things are going with the late-night snack place.

In such a negative atmosphere, if someone like Xiao Yexiao manipulates supernatural beings as a fighting force, and cannot occupy a dominant position, they might be overthrown by the supernatural beings they have subdued.

Wait, have I really been disturbed by resentment?

It's not my place to worry about the late-night snacks yet.

The defense system, composed of over a thousand supernatural entities, can transfer all the damage that Little Night Snack suffers to the Form Generation.

Given their selfish nature and their determination to survive at all costs, they would risk harming themselves.

No supernatural being would dare to attack Xiaoyexiao in a mutually destructive manner.

Not to mention that even if there is a desperate attempt, in order to avoid being harmed, the remaining supernatural beings will immediately stop it to prevent themselves from being harmed.

This is something I knew from day one, so why am I still worrying about something like this now?

And besides——

Little Night Snack also has two powerful spirits protecting him: Oni Gunso and Self-Slaying Child.

While other supernatural beings may fall into depravity, those who uphold their nature and kindness in this world are absolutely incapable of falling.

What I need to do is trust that Xiaoyexiao can handle things on her end.

Having told himself this, Sakurai looked into the distance, where...

The atmosphere of darkness was exceptionally thick.

Let's leave our destination for now; I want to see what really happened.

70. Heavenly God Elementary School - Best Friend Group

Time goes back to a while ago.

Let's turn our attention back to the best friend duo of Shinohara Seiko and Nakajima Naomi (the two sides of the same coin: the corrupted and the uncorrupted).

Walking down the corridor with its inexplicably gloomy atmosphere, looking at the old, uneven floor.

Naomi Nakajima felt a chill run down her spine for no apparent reason. She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but it felt like something was watching her from some corner.

An extremely eerie, unsettling, and chilling gaze was fixed on her and Shinohara Seiko from somewhere she couldn't see.

"Let's figure out a way to get out of here as soon as possible."

Telling herself that she was just overthinking things because of this unfamiliar place, Naomi Nakajima rubbed her arms vigorously. Not even knowing what she was afraid of, she whispered to Seiko Shinohara, who was half a step behind her.

Then he took the lead and walked forward.

However, his steps were somewhat slow, and his limp was particularly unnatural.

At this moment, Shinohara Seiko belatedly realized that Nakajima Naomi's foot seemed a little strange.

"Um, what happened to Naomi's foot?"

Seeing Nakajima Naomi's somewhat swollen ankle, Shinohara Seiko loudly expressed her concern.

"It's nothing, I just twisted my ankle a little."

Naomi Nakajima, who has a strong personality and is just as competitive as most boys, doesn't think this is a big deal.

He simply turned his head and gave her a casual reply.

She didn't want her problems to cause unnecessary worry to the people around her.

"Hey, are you alright?"

Looking at Naomi Nakajima with concern, Shinohara Seiko almost rushed over to check it herself if she didn't still have some common sense.

Just as Naomi Nakajima was about to give a straightforward answer that she had no questions, she seemed to see a little girl with black hair and a red dress in her blind spot, with her head down, exuding an extremely eerie aura.

When Naomi Nakajima looked down into the blind spot, all she saw was a pitted, hole-ridden wooden corridor.

Yes...

Did I misread it because I was too nervous?

"It's okay, it's okay, I can still walk."

After pausing for half a second, she casually indicated that she was fine.

At the same time, he did not tell Shinohara Seiko what he had just seen.

Turning around, they took the lead in exploring the unfamiliar place.

but...

The unease and inexplicable fear within her felt like a venomous snake constantly tearing at her body.

Without realizing it, Naomi Nakajima became...

Something's starting to look strange.

"Didn't you think those desks and chairs in the teacher's room..."

"Is it a little small?"

Even Shinohara Seiko sensed that something was off. In order to break the strange atmosphere, she took the initiative to try to deduce their current situation.

I hope my thoughts can reach Naomi Nakajima.

"yes."

Somewhat absent-minded, Naomi Nakajima answered her with a limp.

I was still immersed in my own world, as if...

In the blind spot of her line of sight, the little girl in the red dress followed her like a shadow, and she couldn't shake her off no matter what she did.
