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

Seeing Yohoshi's friendly smile, Nurarihyon sighed slightly, but in the end, he sat down.

"What are you two still doing standing there?"

Yoruichi waved his hand again, conjuring three black chairs formed from the power of evil spirits, and waved to Futaba Rio and Yotsuya Miko in the distance.

Come here.

Rio Futaba and Miko Yotsuya paused for a moment before walking over as well.

"Come, come, sit here."

Rio Futaba had originally planned to sit on either side of Yotsuya Miko, leaving the middle seat for Yohoshi.

Unexpectedly, the other person grabbed her hand and led her to the middle, where she sat down on the chair directly opposite Nurarihyon, while he himself sat down next to her.

Rio Futaba shook her head helplessly.

What is this thing called?

Does that mean you'll have to talk to them yourself?

"You lazy bum again, aren't you?"

Hearing Rio Futaba's slightly disgruntled soft complaint, Yohoshi smiled nonchalantly, then turned her head to carefully examine Rio's face. This earnest gaze made Rio Futaba blush, feeling a little embarrassed.

"What are you looking at?"

Ye Xing looked very serious.

"Oh my, Futaba, you look so good with your glasses off and your hair tied up in a high ponytail. I can't take my eyes off you."

Rio Futaba looked both amused and exasperated, and said irritably.

"Stop acting crazy here. I've always dressed like this in the Otherworld. You've seen it countless times."

"Besides, you already saw me when I first tried this style of dress."

Upon hearing this, Yotsuya Miko frowned slightly.

What do you mean that Ye Xing had already seen it when she first tried this outfit?

Where did you watch it?

Did you really only see these?

Have you seen any others?

Wait a moment.

Yotsuya Miko suddenly remembered something.

Before Onimaru Kunitsuna's operation last time, it seems that he himself suggested that Yosei see if there was any solution to the problem of Futaba Rio's inability to cover her body parts.

broken.

Am I being made a scapegoat?

Nurarihyon was somewhat surprised to see Yohoshi placing Rio Futaba in the middle position.

In terms of strength, this human girl is worlds apart from the one he just fought.

Nurarihyon originally thought that although Yotsuya Miko and Futaba Rio also had abilities, their relationship with Yohoshi was more like that of a master and servant.

Judging from the tone of conversation between Rio Futaba and Yohoshi, as well as their relaxed demeanor and expressions, it's not like that at all.

Rather than a master-servant relationship, it's more like an equal status.

Thinking of this, Nurarihyon breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he was a little afraid of Night Star.

On the one hand, the opponent's strength was too great.

On the other hand, Ye Xing's behavior in battle is not like that of a normal human being; he is more like a cruel and ruthless madman who enjoys killing.

Now, finally, I've seen the other person's normal human side.

As long as they're not completely insane, then we can talk.

It's not always necessary for monsters and humans to fight to the death.

Of course, this was Nurarihyon's idea.

Whether the negotiations will be successful depends on how things develop.

"This gentleman... what is your name?"

Upon hearing Nurarihyon's question, Rio Futaba did not rush to answer. Instead, she first took out her glasses from her pocket, put them back on, and then replied.

"You can just call me Futaba."

Rio Futaba is not as abstract as Yoru-no-hoshi.

She simply couldn't bring herself to call the man opposite her, who looked to be in his seventies or eighties, "Old Deng."

We should still be polite.

"Oh, Ms. Futaba."

Nurarihyon nodded, a kind old man's expression appearing on his aged face, and smiled.

"Actually, our Nura Clan's visit to Kyoto this time was not malicious at all. We just saw the news on TV and wanted to find out more about the situation."

"Yes, I believe that."

Rio Futaba wasn't surprised.

She had seen it a long time ago.

Whether it was the battle just now, or the initial attack in the city.

Rio Futaba could sense that the other party's goal was not to kill her and Miko Yotsuya.

On the contrary, they seemed hesitant and afraid to go all out.

At this point, Rio Futaba paused and looked at Yohoshi beside her.

"What do you think?"

Let me introduce myself to you first.

Yoru smiled and then, under the incredulous gazes of Nurarihyon and the Nura Clan yokai, gave Rio Futaba and Miko Yotsuya a comprehensive introduction to the background of the Nura Clan.

From its very inception, Nurarihyon realized that in the future, the survival of yokai would become increasingly difficult, so it wanted to create a sanctuary for them.

Then came the second leader, Rihan Nura, the strongest member of the Nura Clan, who possessed half-human, half-demon blood and died.

And now, Nura Rikuo, who has not yet awakened the power of a yokai and is just an ordinary human, is facing the predicament of the Nura Clan's gradual decline.

It's a comprehensive, firsthand analysis.

Many of these events were unknown even to many of the Nura Clan yokai present.

After hearing these words, the most shocked people were not Yotsuya Miko and Futaba Rio.

Instead, it's Nurarihyon and Ushioni.

The two demons exchanged a glance, both looking puzzled and confused.

How did the other party find out about these things?

They even know such a secret as the cause of death of the second commander-in-chief, Rihan Nura?

"So this is ah..."

After listening to Yohoshi's introduction, Rio Futaba nodded noncommittally, looking at the Nura Clan's yokai with curiosity in her eyes.

There are actually such creatures in this world.

Most monsters, while also harboring hostility towards humans, do so in a way that is entirely different from that of evil spirits.

The evil spirits' murderous intent towards humans seems like an instinct ingrained in their very bones, without any reason or thought.

Monsters are different.

Since they would follow Nurarihyon's instructions and choose to hide and live in seclusion, it proves that they are not inherently hostile to humans and that they also have their own thinking abilities.

simply put.

Evil spirits are dangerous monsters that must be eliminated.

Monsters are simply strange creatures with special abilities that differ from humans.

There is a possibility of coexistence between the two sides.

"So, what exactly is your purpose in coming to Kyoto?"

Faced with Rio Futaba's question, Nurarihyon's smile turned somewhat bitter.

"To be honest, I just want to talk to you and understand what kind of views and attitudes the Onmyoji of this era have towards our yokai race. That's all."

"I see."

Rio Futaba turned to look at Miko.

"What do you think?"

Yotsuya Miko hesitated for a moment before replying.

"Hmm... I think that if it's a yokai that's still doing evil, then it's naturally our enemy. But an organization like the Nura Clan, which doesn't interfere with humans and can still maintain order in the yokai world, is, in a way, an ally of humans."

"I think the same way you do."

Rio Futaba nodded slightly, then looked at Yohoshi beside her, who was sitting with her legs crossed and a lazy expression on her face.

What's your attitude?

My attitude...

Yoruichi glanced at Nurarihyon and the hundreds of yokai behind him, and said listlessly.

"I can't eat it, I'm not interested, it doesn't matter."

Rio Futaba naturally knew that when Yosei said he couldn't eat them, he meant that he couldn't devour monsters to enhance his own abilities, just like he devoured evil spirits.

It seems that monsters and evil spirits are indeed completely different beings.

"That's easy."
