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

Only when Ye Xing doesn't speak.

Version T0 - Dumb Night Star.

Would any infatuated girls learn about this club just to strike up a conversation?

Is it true?

Even if they exist, there's no point in recruiting such members, right?

Just as Yotsuya Miko was thinking this, a soft, monotone, flat girl's voice rang out.

"Is this the Supernatural Quantum Mechanics Research Society?"

Yotsuya Miko turned her head and saw a petite girl with long, gray curly hair draped over her shoulders. She wore a white lab coat over her school uniform, glasses, and had no expression on her face.

Is there really anyone who wants to know about this club?

Besides Ye Xing, are there any other experts?

"That's right, that's right."

Seeing that Yoru no Hoshino didn't intend to introduce herself, Yotsuya Miko quickly stood up, suppressing her embarrassment.

"This is the Super...Supernatural, Quantum Mechanics, Investigation and Research Society."

"Ah."

The girl gave a noncommittal reply, raised her hand to push up her glasses, and glanced at Yotsuya Miko.

"You understand quantum mechanics?"

"Forehead..."

Yotsuya Miko thought to herself that it was Yohoshi who came up with the club name, not herself, so she could only honestly answer.

"This... I don't quite understand."

The girl nodded slightly, then turned her gaze to Ye Xing, who was sitting behind the table.

"You understand quantum mechanics?"

"I don't understand either."

The girl sighed, looking as if she hadn't expected it.

"So that's how it is... I was too naive to think that anyone at school would actually be interested in quantum mechanics. Sorry to bother you."

Just as she was about to turn and leave, Ye Xing suddenly chuckled and spoke.

"Please wait, Rio Futaba."

"Ok?"

Rio Futaba frowned slightly when he called her name.

"you know me?"

"of course."

Ye Xing nodded and spoke with a smile.

"Please join our club."

Upon hearing Yohoshi's blunt words, Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but show a complicated expression, wondering if they would agree to join in this way.

To her surprise, Rio Futaba pushed up her glasses and slowly spoke.

"Neither you nor she understand quantum mechanics, so you can't discuss topics that interest me."

"So what benefits would I get from joining this club?"

024 A science-minded girl studying quantum mechanics

Yotsuya Miko was stunned.

Judging from what Rio Futaba is saying...

Is joining a club something we can discuss?

This truly brought a slightly outrageous shock to Yotsuya Miko.

At the same time, a guess also arose in her mind.

She found the name of the club strange when Ye Xing came up with it.

If it were simply called the Supernatural Investigation and Research Club, even though the name is strange, it would indeed fit the club's purpose.

After all, both she and Ye Xing can be considered spiritual beings with the ability to see evil spirits and ghosts.

But why add quantum mechanics out of thin air?

Given the current situation...

Did Yosei already plan to use the term "quantum mechanics" to attract Rio Futaba to join the club when he founded it?

Yotsuya Miko felt that the more she thought about it, the less she understood the reason behind it.

So I simply put it out of my mind.

"Of course there are benefits."

In response to Rio Futaba's question, Yohoshi directly took out a key from her pocket and gently placed it on the table.

"This is...?"

"This is the key to the club activity room."

Yohoshi looked directly into Rio Futaba's eyes behind her glasses and smiled as she spoke.

“Aside from needing to discuss some things with you, Miko and I don’t usually stay in this activity room. As long as you agree to join the club and provide us with assistance to the best of your ability, you can use this activity room as you please. Whatever style you want to make it into, and whatever you want to do in it, is entirely up to your personal preferences.”

The condition proposed by Yohoshi hit Futaba Rio's weak spot perfectly.

Rio Futaba is a girl who doesn't fit in well with others, and could even be described as being ostracized by the atmosphere.

She came here today because the club's name contains the words "quantum mechanics," and she hoped to find like-minded people.

It seems that I can't find anyone who shares my interests.

Having your own activity room is a pretty good result.

Which period would be the hardest for a student to adapt to when they are ostracized and isolated by the group?

It wasn't a class.

Instead, it's during breaks and lunchtimes when there's the most freedom, allowing students to move around as they please.

Because she was free to move around, during breaks and lunch breaks, Rio Futaba felt like a fish placed on a chopping board, being watched by everyone, struggling desperately but unable to breathe, which was unbearable.

For her, an activity room where she could be away from her classmates and have some peace and quiet was like an oasis in the desert.

This offer is indeed very tempting.

However, Rio Futaba did not immediately agree. Instead, she adjusted her glasses, sat down opposite Yohoshi, and spoke in a calm tone.

"So, what exactly does 'providing assistance' mean?"

"It's a bit complicated to explain, you should read it yourself, it might be easier to understand."

Yohoshi took out a white notebook from his pocket, the same style as the one he had shown to Yotsuya Miko before, only the color was different, and handed it to Futaba Rio.

"Huh?! What's this?!"

Yotsuya Miko's expression changed, thinking to herself, "Could this be Yohoshi's diary where he records his daily life?"

If it were someone else, having their diary read by secret means they would at most be embarrassed and ridiculed by their classmates for a while.

If it were Night Star, it would be a completely different story.

What he has, is that a diary?

This is clearly an exorcism manual.

Won't this cause problems if Rio Futaba sees it?

"It doesn't matter."

Ye Xing, on the other hand, remained calm.

He certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to hand over the original record of events to an ordinary person like Rio Futaba.

Putting aside whether the other party can accept it, evil spirits and ghosts exist in the world.

Most importantly, what I need is someone like Rio Futaba who can stand from an outsider's perspective, rationally analyze various information, and draw conclusions.

As the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly.

To achieve this, Ye Xing changed the way he referred to and described everything about evil spirits, his own abilities, and the "doors" in every corner of Kyoto City.

"this..."

Rio Futaba opened her notebook and looked at the contents. A complex expression appeared in her eyes behind her thick glasses.

After a long while, she finally raised her head, looked at Ye Xing with a subtle expression, and tentatively asked.

"You...you wouldn't...be a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer, would you?"

Rio Futaba was indeed shocked by the contents of the notebook.

However, it wasn't the kind of shock that Yotsuya Miko had imagined after learning the truth about the world.

It's not so much the shock of someone suffering from extreme embarrassment, but the kind of shock that comes with being cringeworthy.

After Ye Xing's "embellishment," all the words in the notebook were transformed into a kind of fantasy word that exuded the aura of a teenage boy and was full of adolescent angst.

For example, evil spirits and ghosts are referred to by Night Star as: messengers of the demon king who lurk in the shadows and are capable of destroying the human world.

For example, the "doors" in various corners of Kyoto City are supply points for what are known as the Demon King's messengers, which can enhance their power and have an impact on the real world.

Despite all this embellishment, the meaning remains the same and does not affect Rio Futaba's analysis.

But what it exudes is the aura of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

Given the level of detail in this notebook, if a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) girl found it, she would definitely treat it as a sacred text and worship it.

"What 'chuunibyou'? Don't talk nonsense."
