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

if...

It would be a good thing if Ye Xing could meet his mother.

Only someone as awkward as Touma Kazusa would skip directly to meeting the parents without even daring to clearly express her feelings.

"What do you do?"

Seeing that Touma Kazusa and Yohoshi, who were high school students, were walking towards the entrance of Kyoto Tower, the Metropolitan Police Department members patrolling the entrance immediately stopped them.

"I want to go in."

Upon hearing Touma Kazusa's nonsensical remark, Yosei rolled her eyes.

It would be strange if they let you in if you said that.

As expected, the Metropolitan Police Department member frowned and waved his hand.

"We can't go in for a visit today, come back another day."

Touma Kazusa didn't reply, but instead took out her phone from her pocket and made a call.

"Hey, it's me."

"Yes, I've arrived."

"okay."

With less than ten words in total, Touma Kazusa hung up the phone, looked at Yohoshi beside her, and whispered.

"My mom said to have her assistant come down and pick us up. Let's wait a bit."

"walk slowly."

Ye Xing casually replied and glanced around.

Sure enough, I saw a very familiar figure.

Soichiro Yagami, the chief of the Criminal Investigation Bureau and Kyoto's most square-faced man, also appeared here.

As Yoru was observing, Yagami Souichirou happened to turn his head.

Their eyes met briefly in mid-air.

"Ok?"

Upon seeing two high school-aged boys and girls appear here, Souichirou Yagami, who was in charge of the scene, couldn't help but frown slightly.

At the same time, a strange sense of familiarity welled up in his heart.

Souichirou Yagami walked slowly to the cordon, looked at Touma Kazusa and Yohoshi in front of him, and said in a calm manner.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you two?"

Touma Kazusa said calmly, "I've come to see my mother."

"Your mother is...?"

Just as Yagami Soichiro was filled with doubt, a woman in a suit quickly walked out of Kyoto Tower.

When she saw Touma Kazusa standing outside the cordon and Yagami Souichirou standing there, she quickly ran over.

"Chief Yagami."

The assistant first greeted Soichiro Yagami, then introduced him with a smile.

"This is Ms. Touma Yoko's daughter."

"Oh, so that's it."

Souichirou Yagami nodded, then looked at Yosei standing next to Kazusa Touma and hesitated.

"Who is this...?"

Before Touma Kazusa could speak, Yohoshi replied with a smile.

"I am Touma Kazusa's assistant."

"what?"

Souichirou Yagami paused for a moment, then chuckled in disbelief.

"Young man, you're joking, aren't you? Let's go, I'll take you both up."

Upon entering Kyoto Tower, the necessary security check process was, of course, still required.

After confirming that Touma Kazusa and Yohoshi were not carrying any weapons, Yagami Souichirou and Touma Yoko's assistant led the two into the elevator.

The Kyoto Tower, which is 131 meters tall, takes almost a minute to reach the top, even by elevator.

Looking at the rising height outside, Touma Kazusa seemed a little nervous, her hand unconsciously gripping Yosei's clothes.

She is not afraid of heights.

It was because he was about to see his mother that he felt so nervous.

Touma Kazusa felt her palms were already sweating.

Just then, Yosei calmly placed his right hand behind his back and directly grasped Touma Kazusa's hand.

Such an intimate gesture caused Touma Kazusa's pretty face to flush instantly.

She made a token effort to break free, but then, fearing being seen by the other two people in the elevator, she could only lower her head and remain silent.

Touma Kazusa felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest at that moment.

Although this wasn't the first time she and Ye Xing had held hands, it was still a bit too embarrassing in public.

Seemingly sensing the awkward silence in the elevator, Yagami Souichirou coughed lightly twice and took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Judging from your ages, are you still high school students?"

Touma Kazusa doesn't like talking to strangers, and with her hand being held by Yosei, she simply hid behind him without saying a word.

Ye Xing didn't have that problem, and nodded with a smile.

"Yes, we are from the first year of Zongwu High School."

"The Soubu High School..."

Souichirou Yagami muttered something to himself first, then asked curiously.

"Given Ms. Touma Yoko's status, she should be able to get into the private Shuchiin Academy, right?"

Ye Xing maintained a polite smile and replied.

"Given your position as the head of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, you shouldn't need to be here doing security work, right?"

Soichiro Yagami paused for a moment, and before he could reply, Yosei whispered.

"Moreover, Soubu High School is no worse than Shuchiin High School, and may even be stronger."

Upon hearing this, both Soichiro Yagami and Yoko Touma's assistant wore complex expressions.

No, are you okay?

How could anyone say something so outrageous?

Zongwu High School is a good school, that's a fact.

But to try and provoke a private college like Soojiwon...

Isn't the difference a bit too much?

Soichiro Yagami has begun to have doubts.

Could this handsome young man in front of me have some kind of mental problem?

He didn't dwell on the topic any further, after all, choosing which school to attend was someone else's prerogative, he just pondered for a moment and said...

"Um...right, you've probably seen the recent news reports. It's best for high school girls to avoid going out at night."

Night Star replied calmly.

"Chief Night is referring to that so-called 'teru teru bozu killer'?"

"Yes."

At this point, Souichirou Yagami hesitated slightly, glanced at Kazusa Touma's attire, then breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

"However, the madman's target is not a girl with an appearance like Touma, but we still can't let our guard down."

"Oh? Besides all being junior or senior high school girls, what else do the victims have in common?"

Upon hearing Yoru's question, Yagami Souichirou was taken aback for a moment, but then smiled.

"The tone of your voice reminds me of my son. He's about your age and a first-year high school student in Tokyo."

Ye Xing remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was thinking to himself.

I'm probably closer to your son than you are to him.

Soichiro Yagami said this first, then looked serious and waved his hand.

"The case is under investigation, and I cannot disclose too many details at this time. In short, try to minimize going out at night."

"Ding~"

Upon hearing the elevator arrival announcement, Soichiro Yagami didn't continue the topic, but simply smiled.

"Then I'll leave you here. I still need to take care of security at the scene. It's a pleasure to meet you both."

After exiting the elevator with her assistant, Yohoshi released Touma Kazusa's hand.

The latter's disappointment was very obvious, but she was too proud to show it, and just gave a soft hum.

"Ms. Yoko is currently being interviewed. Please wait a moment."

After the assistant finished speaking, he gave a slight bow and left their side.

The top floor of Kyoto Tower is a place that resembles an exhibition hall, without any room partitions.

From the elevator entrance, where Yoru and Touma Kazusa were standing, they could clearly see a woman with short hair who looked somewhat like Touma Kazusa, sitting on a sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window and being interviewed by the host.

That's my mother.

Touma Kazusa looked at her mother with a somewhat complicated expression.

There was longing, nervousness, and a touch of trepidation at not daring to get close.
