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

Sakurai, having managed to shove all five food items left on the table into his shoulder bag, stood up, finally managing to control himself a little.

"There will be plenty of milk."

The bartender's lips twitched uncontrollably as he laughed until he was almost frozen.

"By the way, Sakurai-kun, those people will pay the price."

His expression suddenly turned serious, and the bartender earnestly assured Sakurai.

"Of course I know about this, there are regulations about it."

"Okay, let's go."

After taking two steps, Sakurai suddenly turned around and looked at the bartender.

"Oh right, you shrewd businessman, I almost forgot to ask that."

You should know what my name used to be, right?

"Is it Sakurai? Or... Sakuragawa?"

Perhaps there is some unspeakable taboo hidden in the surname [Sakurakawa].

The moment Sakurai finished speaking.

The once cloudless sky was now obscured by the warm and gentle sunset, which had vanished into the dark clouds.

Behind the dark clouds, bursts of thunder roared through the clouds.

The earth seemed to tremble with the sound of thunder.

A clap of thunder suddenly sounded, and with a boom, a crimson bolt of lightning fell straight down from the clouds, striking Sakurai directly.

In the blink of an eye, Sakurai transformed into "light" before the bartender's eyes.

The immense power and terror of the heavenly thunder instantly carbonized Sakurai's body.

The vast majority of the electricity travels down the legs to the ground, carbonizing the ground to form a spiderweb-like depression.

The remaining electricity transformed into a lightning serpent that slithered across his body, crackling and popping as it instantly destroyed the life force within him, gradually ending Sakurai's life.

The roaming Razer killed Sakurai over a hundred times in just a few seconds, completely exhausting its already meager [electricity].

The dark clouds dispersed, and the setting sun shone again on Sakurai, draping him in a semi-transparent veil.

Sakurai, now fully recovered, looked up at the sky expressionlessly, almost as if he was about to raise his middle finger to show his attitude.

Unlike the indifferent Sakurai, after hearing the name "Sakuragawa".

The bartender's forced smile finally froze completely.

He stared blankly at Sakurai, who was being swallowed by the lightning snake and constantly alternating between life and death, completely donning the mask of pain.

The bartender is really looking for a death sentence and wants to go to his mother's place to avoid the storm.

Turning his head away, Sakurai looked at the sight of the woman who looked even worse than when her sister had died. Satisfied with the fact that he had hurt himself more than his enemy, he left the izakaya.

Compared to the previous ones, this is Sakurai's true revenge.

Judging from this guy's reaction, the effect can be described as outstanding.

Really?

My past is an unspeakable taboo.

No matter which version of me it is, we're all the same.

56. Let's meet in the grove.

Sakurai entered the classroom carrying a shoulder bag, put it down in front of his seat, and sat down quietly.

Upon seeing him, the students in the class subconsciously lowered their voices. The originally lively atmosphere seemed to have been doused with cold water. Many people stopped chatting and naturally took out a book and pretended to read it.

so...

I don't like arriving too early.

Sakurai glanced out the window and thought to himself, somewhat speechless.

He had always lived a quiet and unassuming life at the school, just an ordinary student who never caused trouble.

But...

Whenever he's around, even the most lively atmosphere immediately quiets down.

Of course, Sakurai only considered himself to be "unremarkable" and "ordinary".

He was completely unaware of how special his presence was to the school.

He was even less aware that his status at the school was higher than he had imagined.

Specifically, it was Sakurai's first day at the school, having just finished his private lessons with Kirisu Mafuyu.

In this country, bullying is a phenomenon that no school, no matter what kind of school, can completely eradicate.

Even at Ichinose High School, where the deviation score exceeds fifty, there is still a group of bad apples who are complacent and form cliques.

Tobe Kei, the third-year Taekwondo club president, is the boss of this group.

As one of the top 'big shots' in this high school, Tobeda Kei has always been the one who acts recklessly.

Because they were relatively restrained, the teachers were unwilling to get involved in these matters as long as nothing serious happened.

Then...

During lunch break, Sakurai, with a piece of bread in his mouth, passed by the second-floor restrooms and happened to run into Tobeda Kei, a third-year student, who was there with a group of people, smoking and talking about something.

In reality, Sakurai, who had just arrived at the high school at that time, was unwilling to get involved in such matters.

He was only forced to come here because he couldn't resist Kirisu Mafuyu's insistence.

However, Tobeda Kei took his indifferent expression and disdainful look as a provocation and forcibly dragged him into the bathroom. At the same time, the bread he was holding was pulled to the ground during the struggle.

Shortly after, Sakurai shook the water off his hands and left the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Tobeda Kei and his group collapsed in the bathroom, their mouths stuffed with their own clothes as they groaned silently.

After school, they easily wiped out the helpers that Tobeda Kei had called in.

After that, feeling too ashamed to face anyone, Tobeda Kei and his group slunk away and chose to drop out of school.

Then...

On his first day at school, he accomplished the feat of wiping out the entire criminal gang at Ichinose High School.

After that day, he gained two nicknames: "The Cold-Hearted Nobleman" and "The Uncrowned King of Ichinose".

This may have been a trivial matter for Sakurai, but for others, Sakurai, who had adjudicated Tobeda Kei's case without being held accountable, undoubtedly became a "big shot" among "big shots".

This is also one of the reasons why, apart from Kirisu Mafuyu, no teacher cares what Sakurai does during class.

With a thud, Sakurai rested one hand on his head and quietly waited for the school bell to ring.

In fact, if you ask him, it would be enough if Kirisu Mafuyu just spent some time tutoring him every day.

Classes and such are pointless; you can't see them anyway, so it's just a waste of time.

But since Kirisu Mafuyu disagreed, they had no choice but to make do.

Speaking of which...

Why did I arrive so early today?

Lost in thought, the morning classes passed quickly.

As usual, Sakurai took the bento box brought by Yotsuya Miko and had lunch with his assistant and her best friend in the activity room.

After drifting off into his own thoughts, Sakurai missed the afternoon classes and headed straight for the green space inside the school.

Of course, it can also be affectionately called the "small grove".

Driven by adolescence and the surge of sex hormones, although the number wasn't huge, there were indeed quite a few young men and women in love engaging in unspeakable activities here.

certainly...

After a number of these ill-fated couples were arrested, the situation in this regard subsided somewhat.

Standing at the deepest part of the grove, Sakurai looked around.

There is no one else here except him.

In the quiet woods, only the rustling of leaves in the breeze could be heard.

"I'll wait for you here in the green belt."

After sending the message to Miko Yotsuya, Sakurai casually put his phone in his pocket.

Sakurai yawned, stood quietly with his shoulder bag in hand, waiting for Yotsuya Miko to arrive.

For Sakurai, this place was surprisingly good as a private conversation spot, compared to cafes or the like.

For Yotsuya Miko, it was a different story.

As the saying goes, a young girl's heart is always poetic, and even Yotsuya Miko is still an underage girl.

The location of the grove, coupled with the atmosphere of being alone with Sakurai, a handsome man with an icy demeanor and a mysterious aura, created a unique ambiance.

Even Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Even though her rational mind told her that Sakurai, the boss, definitely had something important to discuss with her, Yotsuya Miko still couldn't help but have an extraordinary idea.

Then a blush spread across her cheeks, making her look like a ripe red apple from afar.

Then came the dizziness in my brain.

After a long period of mental blanking following the brainstorming session, Yotsuya Miko finally set off hesitantly.

After saying goodbye to her best friend who had invited her home, Yotsuya Miko gulped down a whole bottle of black tea before hesitantly heading towards the grove.

He kept looking around, as if afraid others wouldn't know he had a big little secret.

About ten minutes after the email was sent, a somewhat impatient Sakurai finally saw Yotsuya Miko, her expression awkward and her face flushed with embarrassment, staggering and absent-minded as she approached him alone.

"Boss..."

With her head down, Yotsuya Miko didn't dare to look up at Sakurai. Her fingers were clenched tightly together, her unease mixed with a hint of anticipation.
