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

Rio Futaba was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and it took her a few seconds to react before she bit her lip and blushed.

"You, you, you! Who wants to have a child with you?!"

"Really not giving birth?"

Yoruhoshi's teasing question left Futaba Rio completely speechless.

She remained silent for a while before muttering softly.

"Even if I want to have a baby, I have to wait until I graduate from high school."

"Okay, I was just teasing you."

Yohoshi reached out and ruffled Rio Futaba's hair.

"You bastard, really."

Rio Futaba complained angrily, then calmed herself down, regained her serious demeanor, pursed her lips, looked directly into Yohoshi's eyes, and said softly with a slightly nervous tone.

"If one day, and I mean if, you discovered that you were the cause of these strange phenomena, what would you do?"

Rio Futaba's heart jumped into her throat after she said those words.

She put herself in his shoes and thought about it.

If you were in Ye Xing's shoes, how would you answer such a pointed question?

Rio Futaba couldn't figure it out.

This is a very heavy problem.

"you mean..."

To Rio's surprise, Yohoshi showed no surprise or astonishment at the question; in fact, she even wore a relaxed smile.

"You think I might be like Mai Sakurajima, suffering from puberty syndrome, and that the appearance of the Otherworld and the 'Door' are the outward manifestations of my puberty syndrome?"

"you..."

Rio Futaba paused for a moment, then murmured.

"So you had already figured it out?"

"Of course, I'm not stupid."

Night Star laughed nonchalantly.

"The day I awakened my spiritual abilities and the day the 'door' appeared were both March 20th. Of course, I was able to notice this detail."

Then, Yoruichi looked at Rio Futaba's worried face and chuckled.

"You've been acting strangely lately, is that because of this?"

"Why not?"

Seeing that Yoru still looked nonchalant and relaxed, Futaba Rio said irritably.

"Our goal at the Superpower Society is to eliminate as many harmful supernatural phenomena as possible and protect the people in Kyoto."

"But then we suddenly discovered that the cause of these strange phenomena might be none other than our beloved Captain. Anyone in my position would feel the same way, right?"

Ye Xing nodded: "What you said makes sense."

Immediately afterwards, he reached out and pinched Rio Futaba's cheek, then changed the subject with a smile.

"However, don't worry, the connection between these two things is not what you think. If it is because of the resurgence of strange phenomena that I awakened my spiritual abilities to become the last hope to save humanity, then that would be reasonable."

Hearing such arrogant words, Rio Futaba didn't feel like retorting, but instead whispered.

How can you be sure?

"Are you stupid? Did you catch Yuigahama Yui's infection?"

Ye Xing made that joke first, before explaining.

"Think about it, the Nura Clan has existed for at least several hundred years, and the yokai as a whole have existed for even longer."

"Furthermore, Jianzi awakened his Yin-Yang Eyes much earlier than I did."

"This is enough to prove that strange things already existed in this world before I became a psychic."

Rio Futaba looked on with a skeptical expression.

"Really? Are you sure this statement isn't just a forced logic you've come up with to avoid a moral dilemma?"

"Oh, what are you saying?"

Yoru waved his hand, offering a logic that Futaba Rio couldn't refute—a logic as solid as iron.

"I have no morals, so what moral dilemma do you have? Don't be ridiculous."

Rio Futaba was speechless.

This is true.

Given Ye Xing's carefree and even reckless personality, even if his adolescent syndrome caused a "scandal" in Kyoto, he probably wouldn't care at all.

"So why did you suddenly awaken your psychic abilities?"

"It's not exactly sudden, it's hard for me to explain to you."

Night Star replied calmly.

"On March 20th, I received a list of first-year students from the Zongwu High School."

"The moment I saw the name Yotsuya Miko, I was able to 'observe' the existence of those things."

Rio Futaba looked puzzled.

"What are you talking about? Is there a cause-and-effect relationship in this?"

"Of course there is, but I'm too lazy to explain."

"You're so lazy, forget it."

Ye Xing already knew the reason for his awakening of spiritual abilities before he enrolled in Zongwu High School.

Strange phenomena, the other world, and the personification of the soul are all abilities that lean towards idealism.

In other words, an individual's subjective perception is more important than external objective factors.

If it were an ordinary person, like Rio Futaba.

Even if Yotsuya Miko told her in front of her that evil spirits exist in this world, Futaba Rio would not awaken.

It's always difficult to completely believe what other people say.

Even if they have witnessed it firsthand in the underworld, they will subconsciously avoid it after returning to the real world, because of the fact that evil spirits exist in the world.

This is an unconscious instinct that humans cannot control, a desire to avoid danger.

but.

Unlike Ye Xing, he is a time traveler.

He realized it the moment he saw the name Miko Yotsuya on the list of new students for Soubu High School.

Evil spirits and ghosts exist in this world.

This is not a guess.

Rather, it is knowing.

Furthermore, Ye Xing's first thought at the time was not that it was terrifying.

But then something interesting happened.

After completing the transformation of his subjective consciousness, he awakened the ability of seeing ghosts.

Then, upon seeing the evil spirit, he came to the conclusion that the evil spirit was an enemy that could be eliminated.

In other words.

Yoruichi's awakening process was actually the same as Yotsuya Miko's, only much faster, taking less than three seconds.

"Since you've said that, of course I believe you."

Rio Futaba breathed a sigh of relief, a genuine smile of joy spreading across her face.

Then, she stood gracefully in front of Ye Xing and asked curiously.

"By the way, what exactly did you want to do by bringing me to the river?"

"Heh heh, this is it, my treasured possession that I've kept for so long."

Ye Xing took a deep breath, then pulled out a...

fireworks.

"this..."

Rio Futaba was stunned for a moment, then said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Where did you buy this? Why are you carrying something like this on you?"

Night Star replied casually.

"Isn't it reasonable for a qualified exorcist to carry fireworks with him?"

Rio Futaba glanced at the slender firework in Yohoshi's hand and gave a soft snort.

"Hmph, childish, only elementary school students like to play with this kind of thing."

She said this, but her body language betrayed her. She snatched a handful of fireworks from Ye Xing's hand, her little face showing an impatient expression.

"Do you have a lighter? Hurry, hurry!"

"Here, take it."

Rio Futaba took the lighter and lit the firework in her hand.

Watching the fireworks burst into brilliant bloom, her eyes shone with joy. Like a little girl, she waved the fireworks in the air, tracing arcs with dazzling trails of flame.

"Have you never set off fireworks before?"

Upon hearing Yohoshi's question, Rio Futaba instinctively replied.

"Of course I let them go, but that was when I was little, and besides..."
