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

In addition to being known as the "Conqueror of Supernatural Sites," Sakurai has acquired another title: the "Hunter of Ghost Stories."

Furthermore, with no bartender to clean up after him, his reputation is now arguably excessive.

Even some people as far away as Kyoto have heard of his name.

The commission fee will be paid in the form of clues about "Hachi-tachi" and "Sadako".

Furthermore, the other party was even willing to pay the "commission fee" to Sakurai in advance, without any fear that Sakurai would renege on the deal.

That guy with such immense curiosity was also the one who entrusted him with the trip to Kyoto...

To be precise...

The monster's name is—

The general of the Nura Clan, Nurarihyon... Nurarihyon.

Without even needing to think, Sakurai didn't mind going to Kyoto to see what the other party was really up to.

Incidentally, he has never seen a monster before.

Because the [item] and the [mermaid] were supernatural, for a long time he believed that only the supernatural existed in the world.

4. The ancient god, the Eight-Foot Elder, has been defeated.

"In the end, were we still outmaneuvered?"

"Seriously, you swindler, how many favors do you want me to owe you before you're satisfied?"

"Does it really have to go to this extent to save the world?"

"You bastard."

This is Sakurai's quest to expose a truly indescribable level of ghost story.

These are ancient deities worshipped by primitive people as early as the Jomon period. They are terrifying beings who are invulnerable to weapons, possess immense strength, are ever-changing, have great supernatural powers, are immune to all physical or magical attacks, can manipulate disasters at will, and are even completely immune to the spells of Guanyin or other gods and Buddhas.

The first words spoken by the famous eight-foot-tall man.

After defeating Sadako, Sakurai didn't even have time to rest before casually eating the bento prepared by the shrine maiden.

Knowing that time was of the essence, he rushed to where the Eight-Foot Master was.

That was an entire area that had fallen, turning into a super-large paranormal site.

The countryside, which cannot be found on any map or in the world.

If Heavenly God Elementary School is an S-class haunted site, then this place is...

Extremely dangerous paranormal locations, starting at SSS level.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was the "divine realm" of the Eight-Foot Man.

There, Sakurai met...

Unlike Kayako, who was transformed into the unspeakable through his manipulation, the other existed as an unspeakable legend and supernatural phenomenon even before being called a ghost story—

An indescribable, eight-foot-tall man.

He let out a strange, masculine "popopo" laugh, dressed in a white dress and exhaling rose-scented breath. Behind him, young and beautiful women of varying ages and appearances smiled happily.

Then...

Their bellies swelled as their vitality was constantly drained away.

As a mother, she continuously gives birth to one baby after another.

A child grows at an extremely fast pace from the moment they are born.

They grew into seven- or eight-year-old boys at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It's like a product on a factory assembly line.

Meanwhile, the eight-foot-tall adult gracefully selected his favorite child.

Then they lifted the naked child and fed him to the final, meticulous chewing.

The chosen mother's sweet and happy smile grew even stronger.

A playground for eight-foot-tall adults that devours children's lives and toys with human lives, the worst... the most evil hell.

This is the supernatural point controlled by the eight-foot-tall man that Sakurai sees.

It was also the most brutal scene he had ever seen.

As a figure with similar abilities to Slender Man, a very famous ghost story from another country.

The eight-foot-tall man teleported in front of Sakurai the instant Sakurai entered the supernatural point.

With a strange, masculine "popopo" laugh, she casually tossed aside the half-eaten, bewildered child in her hand, swallowing hard as she greedily stared at Sakurai.

Under the temptation that one could satisfy an insatiable appetite by simply eating the boy in front of them.

The eight-foot-tall man couldn't wait to reach out and try to grab Sakurai.

Naturally, Sakurai, who had come specifically to defeat Lord Hachisakani, would never surrender after witnessing this scene.

After pulling out the Arakami Fang, Sakurai almost without hesitation engaged in a fierce battle with the Eight-Foot Lord.

After that, he successively experienced a series of abilities such as invisibility, possession, creating phantoms and clones, stretching limbs, triggering disasters, gravity control, weather control, time distortion, space distortion, reality distortion, higher strength, speed and endurance, and higher hair manipulation, etc.

Sakurai finally found the only possibility to defeat the Eight-Foot Lord from the endless timelines, and put it into action, finally killing the [God].

......

Lying amidst the devastation, Sakurai shielded his eyes with his fingers and looked up at the sky.

Now that the darkness that once covered this sky has been destroyed.

The sun is up.

Looking up through the gaps between his fingers, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

The sun, in essence, is the one that illuminates the darkness and desolation of the night, bringing hope and light.

If...

If this world is shrouded in darkness, then I will bring it light.

Having experienced darkness, I know how terrifying it is, so I want to bring light to those around me.

Perhaps Susanoo thought so too.

Ninety-nine pendants floated in the air around Sakurai.

With their varied colors, they swirled around him continuously.

This is also the reason why Sakurai is helpless.

Why does the bartender collect the tokens dropped by ghost stories? Why does he ask Sakurai to completely exterminate all the ghost stories as a reward of "going home"?

At this moment, the whole truth has come to light.

It's not that "going home" is a reward for defeating "ghost stories," but rather that you can only "go home" after defeating the "ghost stories."

They put the cart before the horse, fooling, deceiving, and then cheating.

Is this really something that the legendary, hot-tempered, and brainless martial god would do?

Regardless of what others think.

Sakurai simply couldn't understand it.

However, there was one thing he understood.

So, this trip to Kyoto seems to be unavoidable.

after all...

That one and only great yokai, who has resided in the capital since ancient times and ruled over humanity from the stage of humankind, wants to bring back the legendary great Onmyoji from the world of the dead.

If the great Onmyoji named Abe no Seimei were to truly return, perhaps he could save this world rife with supernatural phenomena.

The premise is...

If it really is that great Onmyoji who has returned.

To prevent the human world from coming to an end, we really have to risk our lives this time.

He raised his hand, and all ninety-nine rays of light fell into Sakurai's palm, transforming into a blood-red gemstone pendant.

Without Sakurai lifting a finger, the pendant instantly transformed into a beam of light and landed on Sakurai's neck.

even...

It's as if they were born to exist for this moment.

The pendant, which looked somewhat flamboyant, suited Sakurai perfectly.

Warm currents flowed from the pendant, eventually entering Sakurai's body with each powerful heartbeat.

He continuously strengthened his body, which he no longer knew how strong it had become.

Sakurai sat up abruptly.

So...

Let's get ready to go.

Heading to Kyoto.

By the way...

What's the best way for me to get there? I can't just drive there on a motorcycle, can I?

After pondering for a moment, with the idea that things would work themselves out, Sakurai got on his motorcycle and rode off in the opposite direction from the sun.

After Sakurai left, almost endless opinions rose from the earth, carrying blessings for Sakurai and reluctance to leave the world.

They have completely disappeared from this world.

All those who died because of ghost stories have finally found peace at this moment.

5. The infamous Nurarihyon, right?
