He has done all he could; the rest is up to Sakurai.

As a deity, it's time for Him to relinquish control over the human world.

"Humans are not as fragile as God thinks; they are resilient and stubborn, and a moment of light is enough to illuminate their path."

"Perhaps I was born into this world to illuminate that one moment."

"Perhaps I have already found the beauty that can prolong that moment of brilliance."

Sakurai-kun, I'm entrusting this human world that I cherish to you.

In the name of Susanoo, I wish that Sakurai Eito will have no rivals ahead of him.

With prayer in hand, grasp the broken sword in the air.

The martial god named Susanoo, radiating brilliance, reached the deepest and darkest place.

In the name of the God of War—

To the mother who has gone mad, launch an attack...

A glamorous rebellion.

......

"You're really good at showing off, don't die!"

"I'm still waiting..."

"I'm going to give you a good beating."

"Trickster."

Sakurai has very few friends; the total number of friends he has in both his lifetimes is only enough to fill the palm of one hand.

If he could, he really didn't want the bartender to just disappear from this world.

That's really...

This isn't bad enough news.

With the nurse's help, Sakurai was freed from all the restraints on his body.

At the same time, the octagonal bright silver hammer and the Aragami Fang were also delivered to him.

Sakurai could feel it as he held hands with his long-lost friends.

The bottleneck that had been troubling him disappeared without him even realizing it.

He is now ten to nine times stronger than when he entered the Heavenly God Elementary School.

Is this the bartender's parting gift?

That's truly remarkable, as a deity.

The reason they're willing to anger me to keep me here is probably this.

You bastard.

However, since you've already asked me to do this,

So...

Let me cleanse this world of filth for you.

Sakurai picked up the pink flip phone that had been delivered along with the two divine weapons and fell silent.

"Miss Mary, please show me the way."

Where are your kind now?

With his eyes closed, Sakurai uttered these words with a somewhat listless expression.

First stop: Purge this world of all strange tales.

3. Ghost Hunter: Sakurai

A diary filled with resentment, a pair of large scissors stained with blood, a doll with a bob haircut, and a pink flip phone that can make calls even though it has no battery or signal.

This is all the gifts the bartender left for Sakurai, and also all the ghost stories Sakurai has encountered so far.

Naturally, the reason why that guy asked Sakurai for help this time also became clear.

This was something only Sakurai could accomplish, and it was also Sakurai's last mission in Tokyo before heading to Kyoto.

Exterminate ghost stories, those that are immortal and indestructible, and that can never be completely eradicated.

Sakurai fastened the Arakami Fang back to his waist and walked back the way he came.

Behind him, a female figure without a lower body appeared with a red mark on her neck, wielding a huge scythe.

Countless streams of black energy erupted from her body, and the woman without a lower body stared at Sakurai's back with venomous eyes.

It made a clucking sound.

The next moment, it transformed into a chibi-style pendant and fell into Sakurai's hand.

The ghost story teketeke (Kashima Reiko) has been successfully recovered.

The ghost story teketeke transformed into a pendant, which Sakurai casually tucked into his waistband. It collided with a series of other pendants, making a somewhat crisp sound.

If anyone could see the pendant that Sakurai was wearing on her waist, they would notice...

These cute, cartoon-style pendants, however, carry a strong sense of resentment.

These are all extremely famous strange tales in this country.

Purple Mirror—legend has it that if someone can memorize this word until they are twenty, they will die.

This was the first ghost story Sakurai found. After a battle, he defeated it and made it his first trophy.

Then there's the old lady rushing along the highway; unlike the legends, this one is a strange tale involving multiple figures.

To prevent them from escaping, Sakurai first used himself as bait, speeding along the highway where the elderly women were seen.

Incidentally, during this operation, Sakurai met a passionate detective.

Terada Tokunosuke (Kuro Sakuragawa's ex-girlfriend in In/Spectre, Saki Yumbara's colleague, and the patrol chief of the Makurazaka Police Station when he appears in the story episodes) was someone who didn't believe in the existence of spirits before meeting Sakurai, but became his partner after witnessing Sakurai's exorcism.

As a supporter, he assisted Sakurai in resolving a series of subsequent paranormal events.

Thanks to him, Sakurai received a lot of help after the bartender left.

Despite being a stern and unsmiling detective, he unexpectedly seemed to have connections.

This provided Sakurai with a lot of convenience, since he was too lazy to deal with those guys on the History Compilation Committee.

The whereabouts of the ghost story "Gap Woman" were also found with his help.

Besides Terada Tokunosuke, Sakurai's other assistant is a very cute shrine maiden.

She was also the young lady who had provided Sakurai with a lot of convenience before this.

She is the same age as Sakurai, but she is the ace priestess of Ruri Shrine.

With an extremely low profile, she used this day to distribute many useful amulets after becoming a shrine maiden.

The rosary that Miko Yotsuya still uses is one of her creations.

The information about the red and blue paper, which overlap to some extent with the story of the ghost doll Hanako, was all found thanks to her.

Well, when they asked me whether I wanted red or blue paper, Sakurai naturally replied that he wanted both.

Then those two guys couldn't wait to come out together and instantly killed Sakurai, who had been waiting for a long time, with a single slash.

Then there's the red cloak that abducts children, and the fox spirit with the Japanese syllabary (hiragana and katakana) and the words 'yes' and 'no' written on the paper.

A dog with a human face, lying on all fours and clearly having a cosplay fetish, was found in a park. White threads were extending from its ears.

Kisaragi Station, an ancient station capable of transporting living people to another world.

A male student with severed hands and feet placed on a stage for people to see; a Daruma doll.

And the hidden door in the fitting room, which can be considered an extension of this ghost story and is on par with the Daruma doll.

Another game that rivals Four Corners is a supernatural game that can summon spirits from another world; it's a one-man hide-and-seek game.

Sakurai put in a little effort and completed both of these ghost story games in one go.

Incidentally, the four-corner game that Sakurai played with were Koya, Yotsuya Miko, and...

These three are Kirisu Mafuyu and her companion.

Besides these...

There are also Girls' Day dolls with longer hair that appear on Girls' Day.

A large spider emerged from the crack.

Colonel Sanders' curse.

A terrifying man who appears in dreams, the Dream Man.

Thinking that since he was already in a dream, he might as well kill a few more, Sakurai casually chopped down the monkey on the roller coaster.

Many other lesser-known ghost stories were also taken care of by Sakurai.

If we include the four loot items from before, the current number has reached an astonishing 97.

Unbeknownst to him, the ghost stories famous throughout the country had almost all been collected by Sakurai and turned into spoils of war.

All that remains are the Great Ghost Story: Sadako and the tall female ghost, Hachisakura (Eight-Foot Man).

To my shame, Sakurai had already done everything in his power to search.

The whereabouts of these two rather famous ghost stories remain unknown.

He even fought his way to the exact location of the well where Sadako's body was recorded.

Ultimately, all that was confirmed was that the place was a completely fabricated tourist spot, and there were no other discoveries.

This gave Sakurai a slight headache.

A turning point occurred.

After this period of frenzied killing and non-stop chaos.
