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

Inch by inch, it fell apart.

The soul and body, like two ends of a magnet, completely disintegrated and then merged again, becoming one, inseparable.

After that, a continuous stream of power surged within this physical body.

"Collapse—"

"The heat of all beings extinguished, the universe annihilated!!!"

The Aragami Fang and the octagonal bright silver hammer clashed, bursting forth with dazzling and brilliant light.

His hands were trembling uncontrollably, and he subconsciously clenched his teeth.

The intense pain continuously stimulated Sakurai's nerves.

The brain becomes numb from it.

After that...

The immense heat transformed into a dazzling light that radiated outwards from Sakurai, spreading in all directions...

Barren and desolate.

The entropy of the universe increases over time, moving from order to disorder. When the entropy of the universe reaches its maximum value, all other usable energy in the universe has been converted into heat energy, and the temperature of all matter reaches thermal equilibrium.

Its name is heat death.

The entire space, the entire world, and everything in it.

Its name is Huanyu.

The ultimate annihilation of all beings and the destruction of the universe is essentially the reception of the power of the Aragami Fang and the octagonal bright silver hammer.

This caused Sakurai's immortal body and indestructible soul to merge together in an irrational way, ultimately transforming into a disordered and ever-increasing heat.

It completely obliterates everything it touches.

The heat death ray stopped spreading after reaching a distance of one meter.

What followed was a creaking, booming sound of something colliding with it.

The space was disturbed, creating ripples that turned into a hazy mist that obscured the view ahead.

This is the multiple spaces that Sachiko Shinozaki uses to manipulate and control space, trapping Sakurai in place.

If I destroy this, I can move on, right?

"Break for me!!!"

Intense pain swept through his body, and the next moment he gritted his teeth and uttered those three words.

The annihilation ray expanded further... and then exploded.

The sound of shattering glass rang out repeatedly, and then...

Everything before my eyes is falling apart.

A faint, mournful cry seemed to reach my ears.

It worked! ! !

When Sakurai opened his eyes again, he was back at Tenjin Elementary School.

The path between him and the archives had been forcibly cleared by Sakurai.

Using the most unreasonable and irrational methods.

Sakurai put away the somewhat dimmed Aragami Fang and the octagonal bright silver hammer, then walked up the stairs with his hands in his pockets.

If he remembered correctly, the archives should be on the third floor of the teaching building.

He'll find out soon enough what secrets this school is hiding.

perhaps...

It might even allow Sakurai to take another step forward.

Sakurai had a feeling that after the Aragami Fang and the Eight-Sided Bright Silver Hammer were revived.

He also reached a bottleneck, and if he didn't think of a solution...

It may be difficult to become stronger in the short term.

This is also why Sakurai almost never ingests any residue left behind.

Even if you gave him a relic of the level of an Aragami, the effect would be very poor.

It would be better to make better use of the late-night snacks.

102. Time-manipulation users can cheat, you know.

"It went surprisingly smoothly. I thought there would be a few more traps or something."

"Whether it was my explosion that caused the problem, or there's actually nothing in the archives and you're secretly watching me make a fool of myself, I'll find out soon enough."

"I hope you won't disappoint me, Sachiko Shinozaki."

Sakurai arrived at the archives room unexpectedly smoothly. Looking at the wooden door with the sign "Records Room," he instinctively...

Licking his lips.

He was already looking forward to seeing what would happen next.

Sakurai always had a feeling that he was getting closer to what he wanted, perhaps unexpectedly.

Sachiko Shinozaki didn't reply, and nothing happened.

Sakurai stepped inside without any hindrance.

The entire process was uneventful.

Sakurai, who had originally planned to give Sachiko Shinozaki a big surprise, was in a slightly complicated mood.

I wouldn't say I was disappointed, but I certainly wasn't happy either.

A rather complex and strange psychology.

So...

Next-

Initiate the investigation.

Putting all complicated thoughts aside, after taking two deep breaths, Sakurai, now with a clear mind, looked at the archive room with about six rows of bookshelves in front of him.

He fell into deep thought.

Flipping through them one by one seems like a waste of time.

Sure enough, this is the time to cheat.

Having easily reached this conclusion, Sakurai did a series of actions that outsiders would definitely think he was crazy.

Sakurai randomly approached the nearest bookshelf, and as he reached out to grab it, he pulled out the Arakami Fang and plunged it into his heart.

After repeating the process over and over again until he had tried all the bookshelves, Sakurai, who had been stabbed six times in the heart, frowned.

It shouldn't be.

How could there not be?

For Sachiko Shinozaki, the archives room, which is similar to the infirmary, is a special place.

If there's anywhere I could possibly find the information I need, this is the only place.

Where exactly did we make a mistake?

As Sakurai pondered, his gaze settled on a certain spot on the ground.

There seems to be some trace of something that once existed here.

Is it some kind of paranormal event?

In other words, is it not because the archives are a special place, but because the archives are actually some kind of supernatural "territory"?

Just like with Yoshie Shinozaki's situation in the infirmary, even as the core member, Sachiko Shinozaki could not completely control the infirmary.

Sakurai had already confirmed this through repeated tests.

and many more...

If the archives are actually Saeki Nanase's "territory".

If that's the case...

I think I understand now.

Sakurai's eyes flickered, and he had a slight idea.

Sakurai casually slashed himself, easily severing his own major artery, and his injury healed as soon as he took another step.

At that moment, Sakurai arrived at the only table in the archives.

If you're talking about a detective.

According to their custom.

The only place to hide things is indeed...

Sakurai reached under the table and pulled out a notebook covered in doodles.

"Found it. As expected of me."

Just in case, to avoid the possibility of the notebook having restrictions such as "read-once-destroyed" messages attached to it.

Sakurai sat down at the table.

It pierced my heart again and again like a madman.

He constantly reads future timelines and memorizes all the information in his notebook.

Write down all this information, information that even Sachiko Shinozaki herself may have forgotten.

Throughout the entire process, to outsiders, he was just staring blankly at the cover of his notebook, a madman whose heart was being pierced by his own thoughts time and time again.

"Thank you very much, the intelligence you gathered has been a great help."
