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

This can be seen as pointing out a way for Ye Xing to quickly find suitable candidates and make them his assistants.

The problem is coming.

Besides Rio Futaba and Mai Sakurajima, who else has suffered from puberty syndrome?

Sakuta Azusagawa and his younger sister, Kaede Azusagawa.

However, Yohoshi did not see Sakuta Azusagawa's name on the list of first-year students at Soubu High School.

Besides that...

The story revolves around Makinohara Shoko, a frail girl suffering from congenital heart disease; Koga Tomoe, who was a first-year high school student when Sakurajima Mai was a third-year student; and Toyohama Kazuka, Sakurajima Mai's younger sister and a member of the idol group Sweet Bullet.

There appear to be three options.

In reality, Ye Xing only had one legitimate reason to come into contact with.

As a first-year student at Soubu High School, and with Mai Sakurajima being a famous and beautiful second-year student, it's not surprising that the two know each other.

Through Mai Sakurajima, she gets to know her younger sister, Kazuha Toyohama, a current idol.

This makes sense.

But if he were to rashly approach Makinohara Shoko, who is still in the third or fourth grade of elementary school and frequently visits hospital wards, and Koga Tomoe, who is currently in junior high school in some remote rural area, it would indeed be too obvious that he had a strong ulterior motive.

Even if the person involved doesn't suspect anything, what about the Metropolitan Police Department?

We must be cautious, we still need to be cautious.

Night Star wasn't sure if the famous detective L existed in this world, but since she wasn't sure, she decided to assume he did.

"Night Star, Rio, come eat!"

Upon hearing Yui Yuigahama's call, Rio Futaba responded, then suddenly seemed to remember something and whispered to Yohoshi.

"I'm sorry, you've just finished an operation and must be very tired. I shouldn't be discussing these things with you at a time like this. After you finish eating, rest for a while. After all, spring break is still long."

"It's okay, I'm not tired at all."

Ye Xing smiled and waved his hand.

Watching his retreating figure as he walked out of the room, Rio Futaba suddenly felt a strange pang of sadness.

An eerie phenomenon affecting the entire city, another Kyoto city teeming with evil spirits.

In the face of such an increasingly distorted world, can a few people really hold on with their own strength?

Even with people like Yui Yuigahama and Miko Yotsuya by her side, Rio Futaba still has moments of hesitation and indecision.

She couldn't imagine it at all.

When Ye Xing awakened his abilities and fought against the evil spirits and the "door" all by himself, how did he manage to persevere?

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why I, Yui Yuigahama, and Miko Yotsuya gathered around each other and joined the Xyzance.

After stepping out of the living room, Rio Futaba smelled a strange and eerie odor.

Her gaze fell on the dining table, landing on the bowl of miso soup that appeared perfectly normal on the outside, and a strange, ominous premonition rose within her.

"Little Rio, please sit down."

With a sweet smile on her face, Yui Yuigahama took Rio Futaba's hand and led her to sit down at the table, pointing to the soup bowl placed in front of them.

"I simmered this miso soup for almost an hour, it should taste really good, you should try it."

Rio Futaba narrowed her eyes slightly, noticing Yohoshi sitting opposite her with a gloating expression in her eyes.

She frowned slightly, thinking that judging from its appearance, this bowl of miso soup, even if it wasn't very tasty, certainly wasn't unpalatable.

Moreover.

Miso soup is such a simple dish; you just need to put in various ingredients and simmer it over low heat for a while. It's impossible for a normal person to make it taste bad.

Thinking of this, under the expectant gaze of Yui Yuigahama, Rio Futaba reached out her right hand, picked up a soup spoon, scooped up a spoonful of miso soup, and gently parted her pink lips to put the miso soup in her mouth.

"what about the taste?"

Yui Yuigahama looked very confident.

"I feel that this is my masterpiece!"

Rio Futaba did not hear Yui Yuigahama's words.

Or rather,

The moment that spoonful of miso soup entered her mouth, she could hear nothing more.

The steam from the bowl caused the lenses to fog up.

Two lines of clear tears involuntarily streamed down Rio Futaba's face.

this...

What on earth is this thing?!

With just one bite, Rio Futaba could feel many different flavors bursting in her mouth.

Indeed, only the powerful and impactful word "explode" can adequately describe her feelings at that moment.

why?

Why does miso soup contain so many ingredients, such as star anise, coptis chinensis, pickled vegetables, houttuynia cordata, and chili peppers?

The taste of this miso soup is beyond simply being unpalatable.

This small soup bowl contains such a complex and bizarre flavor that makes one's mind race.

Yui Yuigahama, how on earth did you make something like this?!

This is not the point.

The key point is that while it contains such a terrifying taste, it looks completely normal on the outside, just like ordinary miso soup.

What incredible craftsmanship!

"How is it, Rio? Is it delicious?"

Seeing that Yui Yuigahama was completely oblivious to the taste of her cooking, Rio Futaba looked up, took off her glasses, looked directly into Yui Yuigahama's eyes, and said earnestly.

"Yui, you might become an assassin someday."

"assassin?"

"right..."

Rio Futaba's gaze was intense as she gently bit her lip.

"Culinary Assassin".

.........

At 8 p.m. that evening, inside the rooftop bar of a hotel in Kyoto.

"Sir, please come in."

Although Ye Xing was only wearing ordinary casual clothes, the waiter at the door did not look down on her at all and maintained a polite and proper smile throughout.

So, it's a five-star hotel.

Ye Xing nodded slightly, stepped into the bar, and sat down at the bar.

It's Tuesday, and there aren't many customers in this rooftop bar, only about two or three tables.

Sitting at the bar, you can see the dazzling lights of Kyoto at night through a row of floor-to-ceiling windows.

This was the first time Ye Xing had ever seen such a scene.

During this time of day, he usually doesn't leisurely stroll through bustling areas, but rather wanders through the city of Kyoto, in those secluded and dark corners where no one ventures, where he holds his own feast.

Speaking of which...

It's been a while since I've had a proper meal at the Inner World.

Good evening, would you like something to drink...?

Wearing a bartender's uniform, a girl with long, flowing hair turned around behind the bar, but stopped mid-sentence.

"Forehead..."

Saki Kawasaki was stunned to see that the guest sitting there was Yohoshi.

"Soda water, thank you."

Yoruichi's gaze did not linger on Kawasaki Saki's face for even a moment, as if she did not recognize her at all, and she said with a smile.

"okay."

Kawasaki Saki snapped out of her reverie, replied, turned around, and poured soda water into her glass while pondering to herself with a conflicted look in her eyes.

Oh no, oh no, what should I do?

If it were just a regular part-time job and I bumped into a classmate, that would be fine.

But she never expected that she would run into someone she knew in the rooftop bar of this five-star hotel.

Saki Kawasaki didn't care what her classmates thought of her.

But if word gets out that she works at a bar, even though she's just a bartender, who knows what kind of rumors will spread?

After all, a high school girl working at a bar is a novel topic worth discussing for those bored students.

In addition, Saki Kawasaki's reputation at school was not good to begin with, and she was considered a delinquent girl.

If the Soubu High School authorities find out about this...

Will I get fired?

When Kawasaki Saki turned around, her expression had returned to its usual indifferent state.

She gently placed a glass of iced soda in front of Ye Xing and said softly.

"Thank you, one hundred and sixty."

Ye Xing frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "This BYD only has one glass of soda water with ice, and it costs 160 yuan?"

But he can understand it.

This exorbitant price of 160 is not just the price of the soda water.
