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

The other party is pretending to be unaware...

It's obvious that a passive skill has been activated.

Passive Skill - Never Stick to the Pan: When you feel like you're going to be blamed, immediately switch to playing dumb and cover up the topic.

Combined with the protagonist's aura of reduced intelligence, it achieves absolute defense by always being on the moral high ground.

"Don't you know your own limits? How many evil spirits have you devoured since you discovered the existence of the Otherworld?"

When faced with Rio Futaba's question, Yohoshi simply shrugged and replied calmly.

"Not many, maybe ten or twenty thousand."

Rio Futaba was speechless.

"Ten or twenty thousand?! You've really gotten them desperate. Do you think they won't come looking for trouble?"

"Hey, that's wrong."

Night Star retorted in a serious tone.

"I'm doing a good deed."

Yotsuya Miko was puzzled.

"Do good things?"

"of course."

Ye Xing smiled and said, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Think about it, by consuming so many evil spirits, I've reduced the population density of the underworld. This will lower housing prices, allowing every spirit to have a car and a house to live in. Isn't that a great act of kindness?"

Yotsuya Miko paused for a moment, then muttered to herself.

"Hmm...that makes some sense..."

"That makes no sense at all."

Rio Futaba sighed helplessly, rubbing her forehead.

“Evil spirits don’t need to buy houses or cars. You’ve clearly been infected by the abstract.”

After all, he's an exorcist.

It's a little abnormal, but that's also perfectly normal.

Amano Yoichi rested his chin on his hand and spoke thoughtfully.

"However, based on what you told me about the principle that if you can't 'observe,' you won't get hurt, the only ones who will actually be in danger are Yohoshi-kun, Futaba-kun, and Yotsuya-kun, right?"

"That's not the case."

As the chief strategic intelligence analyst of Supercell, Rio Futaba's thinking and deductions are always flawless, as long as they don't involve emotional issues. This time is no exception.

"The enemy I encountered during my awakening was a twisted monster created by the fusion of evil spirits and humans."

"Such a creature might be similar to us psychics."

"If we are capable of using the power of the soul to fight against the strange humans."

"This type of being is a monster that uses the human body to evade the restrictions of the 'observation' law."

"Therefore, even ordinary people who cannot 'observe' may encounter this type of being, and we must never let our guard down."

At this point, Rio Futaba adjusted her glasses and sighed softly.

"No matter what, there are still too few psychics. If a fourth member could awaken..."

All of a sudden.

All eyes in the room were on Yui Yuigahama, who was looking down and fiddling with the hem of her clothes.

"Eh?"

Feeling everyone's gaze, Yui Yuigahama was momentarily stunned.

"Um... Mai-senpai... isn't it also possible for her to awaken soul materialization? Why are you all counting on me alone?"

Rio Futaba and Miko Yotsuya first glanced at Mai Sakurajima, then exchanged a look.

Without needing to exchange words, the two can achieve a tacit understanding and spiritual connection.

Based on the impression Mai Sakurajima left on people... it would be difficult for her to awaken the ability to materialize her soul.

This former national idol's senior is a bit too perfect.

Just as a human must have a strong obsession before death in order to become an evil spirit.

The awakening of psychic abilities also requires an extremely strong belief.

There's no need to elaborate on Yotsuya Miko.

She used to have a really tough time.

Rio Futaba is also a long-time mental patient who is suppressing her inner feelings and is on the verge of developing a split personality.

As for Night Star...

Let's discuss what aspects of him make him a normal person.

Now, here is a question for everyone.

Yoruichi, born with an abstract, sacred body; Yotsuya Miko, autistic with facial paralysis; Futaba Rio, a patient with dissociative identity disorder; and Sakurajima Mai, a flawless and beautiful girl.

Please find the option whose art style is different from the other three.

In comparison, Yui Yuigahama joined the company much earlier.

After spending so much time together, Rio Futaba and Miko Yotsuya could vaguely sense it.

This cheerful and lively Tuanzi, who always wears a bright smile, is not like that at heart.

At that moment, Yotsuya Miko noticed a hint of panic and worry in Amano Hina's eyes, and smiled as she comforted her.

"Actually, there's no need to be so afraid. Although there are only three psychic users, Ye Xing is very strong."

"Moreover, we also have the Eight-Foot Man and the contract with that golden goat-headed god."

"Even if you do encounter an evil spirit, there's no need to worry."

Even now, Miko Yotsuya is still terrified of those evil spirits with terrifying and distorted appearances.

But her fear was different from that of a normal person.

The greater the fear in her heart, the more Yotsuya Miko wanted to destroy more evil spirits.

The best way to eliminate fear is to face it directly.

"That's about it."

Ye Xing gave a concluding summary, and then smiled and spoke to the members in the room.

"Oh right, there's one last layer of insurance."

"Sign a contract with me, and then, when you encounter a powerful enemy that you cannot deal with, you can use the power of the contract to summon me to your side."

Upon hearing this, Rio Futaba frowned slightly, but did not voice her thoughts.

With her intelligence, she could understand anything that Tamamo-no-Mae could understand.

It is impossible for humans to enter into contracts with each other.

Only beings that are also evil spirits can devour evil spirits to become stronger.

Rio Futaba had already vaguely guessed the truth of the matter.

However, she didn't care.

Does it matter whether Night Star's constitution leans towards that of a human or an evil spirit?

Rio Futaba didn't care.

Even if it's an evil spirit, as long as it's Night Star, whom she likes, then there's no problem.

After everyone signed the contract with Yoruhoshi, Rio Futaba adjusted her glasses and spoke calmly.

"I really didn't expect you to do something like this."

Ye Xing smiled.

"What do you mean by 'this kind of thing'?"

"that is..."

Rio Futaba parted her lips slightly, a strange light flickering in her eyes.

"You said that what you are pursuing is freedom that is not bound by anything."

"But this contract is essentially a shackle placed on you in order to protect us."

"This is the complete opposite of what you desire."

In response to Rio Futaba's remarks, Yohoshi simply smiled casually and replied indifferently.

"You're not right about that."

"If I stop doing what I want to do because I want to pursue freedom that is absolutely unbound by anything, isn't that another kind of unfreedom?"

"If you ask me what kind of freedom I truly seek, it is to do what I want to do."

"Besides..."

At this point, Yosei stood up and looked at Mai Sakurajima, Kazusa Touma, Yui Yuigahama, Rio Futaba, Miko Yotsuya, and Hina Amano sitting in her living room.

"The six of you are all very important people to me."

This statement came out.

The six girls looked at each other, their faces flushed with shyness.

After a silence of more than ten seconds, Mai Sakurajima finally spoke through gritted teeth.

"You guy..."

"He actually said that to six people at once."

"Scumbag!"
