In this crossover anime, I fight against the supernatural in my everyday world.

The so-called bet is a competition between fighters.

She had heard of such things before, but at that time, Yukinoshita Construction Company was not qualified to participate in that circle.

This morning, after the airship promotions in various cities of Sakura Province, Yukinoshita, the company president, received a call from Kyoto City Bank.

The content is a bet.

The conditions are very simple.

Each side selects one fighter to compete.

Yukinoshita lost the match and donated her office building, which was about to be completed, to Kyoto City free of charge.

If you win, you'll win the bet, 30 million in cash.

Thirty million in cash flow is not a small amount, even for a construction company of Yukinoshita's caliber.

Moreover, this is an opportunity.

If the Yukinoshita family wins this bet, it means that from now on they will officially step into the circle that has been formed for hundreds of years by the merchant tycoons of Sakura Province.

This admission ticket is what Yukinoshita's mother values ​​most.

"Do you have any suitable candidates?"

Upon hearing her mother's question, Yang Nai wanted to shake her head, but suddenly, a figure appeared in her mind.

Believe it or not, there actually seems to be a suitable candidate.

Last time, inside the unfinished building, Yang witnessed firsthand the entire process of Yoru's battle with the evil spirit.

Agile movements and amazing explosive power.

Resilience and recovery capabilities.

They also possess a reaction speed that exceeds the limits of normal people, capable of keeping up with the movements of evil spirits that are invisible to the naked eye.

And most importantly.

Enjoying the thrill of battle, yet showing no mercy to evil spirits, demonstrating decisive execution.

All these factors combined to create a perfect exorcist.

However, it also fulfills the requirements to become an excellent fighter.

Thinking of this, Yang Nai bit her lower lip and hesitated.

"Hmm... I can make a call and ask, but I can't guarantee I can give you a definite answer."

"It's alright, it's always good to give it a try."

Yukinoshita's mother waved her hand, not paying much attention.

The saying goes well.

Try anything, even if it seems hopeless.

Anyway, Yukinoshita's mother herself doesn't know any powerful fighters. Even if she offers a high reward, her chances of winning against a well-established conglomerate like Kyoto City Bank are probably less than one in a hundred.

If Yang Nai could find a suitable person he knew well, that would be ideal.

After all, it's just this one match.

The bet was worth tens of millions.

........

The following evening, at 8 o'clock, in the large flat apartment where Rio Futaba lived.

"I bought the snacks."

Rio Futaba, Miko Yotsuya, and Yui Yuigahama each carried a large bag filled with all sorts of snacks.

"Here, this."

Rio Futaba took a can of Coca-Cola out of the plastic bag and handed it to Yohoshi.

"I remember you like to drink this, iced, right?"

"Thanks, thank you."

Ye Xing took the Coca-Cola, opened it, took a small sip, and exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

"It still has to be delicious."

The reason why members of the Superpower Society have gathered here today is simple.

Tomorrow morning is the day Yoruichi has set for picking up Onimaru Kunitsuna.

Executors: Rio Futaba, Miko Yotsuya, and Yohoshi.

Logistics support: Yui Yuigahama.

"By the way..."

Rio Futaba looked into the distance, took the snacks out of the bag, and arranged them one by one on the table. Yui Yuigahama, with a sweet smile, said in a calm tone.

"You are indeed a gentle person."

Ye Xing kept her eyes on the television and replied nonchalantly.

"What are you saying? I don't understand."

"It's okay if you don't understand."

Although Rio Futaba is not good at communicating with people, perhaps because she has been rejected in the past, she is very sensitive to the emotional changes of the people around her.

She could sense that although Yui Yuigahama always had a smile on her face, her sense of loss had become increasingly pronounced lately when she was with the Superpower Society and others.

As someone who once felt that no one in the world needed her, that she couldn't change anything, and that she couldn't do anything, Rio Futaba deeply empathized with Yui Yuigahama's thoughts.

Even though Yui Yuigahama wasn't supposed to be in the plan to take away Onimaru Kunitsuna, Yohoshi still called her during the meeting today.

Rio Futaba thought this was good; no matter what she did, she wouldn't leave anyone behind.

Operation 083 begins; Rio Futaba's undeniable problems.

Rio Futaba tore open a bag of potato chips, picked up a chip with her slender fingers, and asked as she ate it.

"So, which infiltration method should we choose? Should we infiltrate the museum through the existing 'door,' or should we have Yasakani create a temporary 'door' here, then move from the inner world to appear directly in a place closer to the museum?"

Ye Xing picked up the ice-cold Coca-Cola and took a big gulp before slowly replying.

"The second type."

Upon hearing this, Rio Futaba raised her hand and pushed up her glasses, seemingly lost in thought.

"Hmm... This is indeed the safest way, as it won't leave any clues for the Metropolitan Police Department. But the premise is that we can make a perfect exit after taking Onimaru Kunitsuna."

As Rio Futaba spoke, she took out a map, placed it on the table, smoothed it out with her hand, and pointed to the three black circles marked on it.

"Currently, within Kyoto City, we know that only these three 'doors' still exist."

Then, she touched one of the black circles with the letter A on it with her slender, white index finger.

“This ‘door’ is closest to the Kyoto City Museum, but according to Miko’s assessment, the danger level is at least Class B or higher, and it is nearly two kilometers away from the museum.”

Rio Futaba had never discussed the specific plan for taking away Kunitsuna Onimaru with Miko Yotsuya and Yui Yuigahama.

It wasn't that she didn't trust the two of them.

However, the plan that Ye Xing came up with was too far-fetched, even for a psychic.

Two kilometers.

Normally, it would be a distance that takes about twenty minutes to walk there.

However, after Onimaru Kunitsuna was taken, the Kyoto City Museum triggered an alarm, and the Metropolitan Police Department surrounded it...

Rio Futaba couldn't even imagine the dangers she would face in that short two-kilometer distance.

Calling it a hail of bullets is no exaggeration.

"If you've already made up your mind, I won't question it, but..."

Rio Futaba took off her glasses, raised her hand to rub her temples, looked at Yoruhoshi, and said in a heavy tone.

"I know you're very confident in your abilities, but this isn't an exorcism, nor is it the amateur kidnappers you've faced before. It's the Metropolitan Police Department with heavy weapons. The risk level is far too high. Don't you want to reconsider?"

Ye Xing waved his hand and smiled.

"It doesn't matter, I have my own way."

Rio Futaba sighed helplessly, rubbing her forehead, and looked at the tall, imposing man sitting to the side, occupying a large sofa all to himself, sipping a carton of milk.

"Eight feet, what do you think?"

"Huh? Are you asking me?"

Hachi reluctantly put down the carton of milk in his hand, looking innocent and bewildered.

"I actually...don't understand what you're saying. Can I continue drinking?"

Rio Futaba discovers that after she awakens the ability to materialize her soul, even without using the power of the "Gate," she can see and communicate with the other person.

Just like Yotsuya Miko.

Rio Futaba speculates that this is because after awakening her soul's materialization, she became someone who wanders between two worlds.

In quantum mechanics terms...

She now possesses the ability to "recognize" things at any time.

Based on Mai Sakurajima's case of adolescent syndrome, Rio Futaba determined that although these two incidents do not belong to the same category, some of the underlying principles are the same.

Are people who can't see Mai Sakurajima truly blind?

Or is it that they can actually see, but are simply unable to "recognize" Mai Sakurajima's existence?

Just like the human brain, in order to maintain normal function, it subconsciously ignores unimportant information in its field of vision.

Ordinary people cannot see evil spirits because they themselves do not have the ability to fight against those strange things. Therefore, out of the instinct for survival, their bodies choose to "not observe".

After awakening the ability to materialize their souls, they transformed from being human prey hunted by evil spirits into "hunters" who could fight against evil spirits and were on equal footing, or even at a higher position in the food chain.

Changes in oneself lead to changes in cognition.
