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

"Twenty-first place, Yukino Yukinoshita, Class A, First Year of Soubu High School."

Hearing the name Soubu High School again, and in fact, it was his own Class 1-A, made Shizuka Hiratsuka's lips curl into a smile.

However, Yukino Yukinoshita, the person directly involved, showed no joy whatsoever.

She finally realized it now.

I really can't compete with Ye Xing in terms of academics.

Within the Soubu High School, the difference between the two is that between first and second place.

But this joint exam revealed their true colors.

Night Star remains the strongest.

But she could only be ranked outside the top twenties.

........

Just before boarding the bus, Kaguya Shinomiya, as the student representative of Shuchiin Academy, walked up to Yosei, and for the first time, her tone revealed obvious emotional fluctuations.

"Next time, I will definitely win."

Yoru smiled and replied with a statement that almost broke Kaguya Shinomiya's defenses.

"Go home and get some sleep. You can dream whatever you want, but stop fantasizing here."

The middle-aged female teacher wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked up to Ye Xing, her face no longer showing hostility, but instead letting out a slight sigh.

“I originally thought that it was your loss that you didn’t choose Shuchiin.”

"But now it seems that it is Shuchiin's loss."

Night Star replied with a smile.

"It's not really a loss. I just don't like Shuchiin as a place, but the reason I don't like it is also the reason why you are Shuchiin."

"Ah."

The middle-aged female teacher nodded slightly and looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"Hiratsuka-sensei, let's exchange ideas sometime next time."

Hiratsuka Shizuka responded with a smile.

"Alright, we'll be going now."

.......

With the joint exam ending in Ye Xing taking first place, the first semester also came to a close.

Zongwu High School will continue with regular classes until Wednesday after school, at which point summer vacation will officially begin.

After school, on the rooftop of Zongwu High School.

"The first semester is finally over!"

Yui Yuigahama stretched out a long yawn, looking as if she had finally been freed.

Rio Futaba adjusted her glasses and said calmly.

"School starts its holiday the day after tomorrow, but we can't be idle during these two months of vacation. There are many things to take care of."

At every internal meeting of the Super Scale Society, Rio Futaba is responsible for proposing the plan, and this time is no exception.

"The first thing to do is deal with that little girl named Menma?"

"deal with..."

Mai Sakurajima frowned slightly and hesitated.

"Although she's not human...she's never harmed humans either, we..."

Yotsuya saw his son thoughtfully.

"Destroying her is definitely out of the question. Menma is a very special being. The best way is to let her let go of her obsession and pass away like my father."

Mai Sakurajima nodded and smiled.

"In that case, let her stay at my place for now, since I live alone anyway."

Night Star raised a question from the side.

"Why can't you just move into my house?"

Noticing the strange, suspicious looks in the women's eyes, he rolled his eyes.

"Don't go too far."

"Humph."

Rio Futaba said meaningfully.

"Menma is still a child. If she lives in your house, she might see some strange things and hear some strange noises, which could damage her young mind. So it's decided that Menma will live in Mai-senpai's house."

Then, Rio Futaba spoke again.

"The second thing, and also the most important thing."

She took out her phone and showed everyone the news report photos on the screen.

"This is..."

Seeing the girl's corpse swaying in the wind like a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll), the members of the Superpower Society all showed expressions of pity.

"The Teru Teru Bozu Killer, that's the code name given to him by the Metropolitan Police Department."

Rio Futaba put her phone away and spoke slowly.

"Based on my and Ye Xing's actions last time, we were able to determine the level of danger in the underworld and the power of the evil spirits within it. It is highly likely that these spirits originated from the negative impressions and thoughts of the people of Kyoto City."

"Like those evil spirits we eliminated last time, dressed as doctors and nurses, and that monster with tentacles growing all over its upper body and fused with a human, these are probably the strange things that Kyoto citizens have based on their negative impressions of hospitals."

“A serial killer like the Teru Teru Bozu Killer, who has committed multiple crimes and brought fear to the citizens of Kyoto, is bound to have a certain impact on the underworld.”

“In order to prevent the emergence of even more powerful evil spirits in the underworld and their destruction in the mortal world through the ‘gate,’ I believe we must take action.”

Mai Sakurajima and the others nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"Yes."

But then, everyone's attention turned to Ye Xing.

The latter leaned against the rooftop railing, looking up at the sky, which was already covered with dark clouds and was about to rain, and chuckled.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"It's up to you to make the decision."

"It's my decision..."

Night Star spoke calmly.

"Although I am not a hero, to act so recklessly in Kyoto City is indeed a bit disrespectful to me. I agree."

Ye Xing looked at the members in front of her, her smile vanished, and her voice was filled with inexplicable excitement.

"I'm also very curious about what the soul of such an evil person tastes like."

155. The Metropolitan Police Department's External Aid "Masked" - Autopsy Report of the Victim at the Scene

Seeing that Yoru had agreed, Rio Futaba couldn't help but smile, a hint of amusement appearing in her eyes.

This guy, although he says he can't stand people doing whatever they want in Kyoto...

Actually, it's all for the safety of the citizens, right?

What an arrogant villainous hero!

"Then it's settled."

After making the decision to hunt down the Teru Teru Bozu killer, Ye Xing began to arrange the specific plans.

"Futaba, Miko, you two go and investigate whether you can find the exact scene of the victim's death."

"If you can find them, take Mai and Dango with you and go to visit them. Be friendly. Of course, the point is not to ask if they are alive. Just use the excuse of expressing your condolences."

Mai Sakurajima nodded in understanding.

"You mean, we should check if the victim's spirit is still lingering at the scene, in order to find the killer's identity and clues?"

"That's it."

Immediately afterwards, Yohoshi looked toward Amano Hina.

"As for you... just be careful about your own safety. After all, this serial killer makes the bodies of his victims into the shape of teru teru bozu (Japanese teru bozu dolls), which proves that he may have some kind of strong obsession with the weather. Your reputation as a 100% weather goddess has already spread, and it's hard to say whether you will become his target."

Amano Hina nodded obediently.

"oh, I understand now."

Finally, Ye Xing gave a summary.

"In short, there's no need to worry too much. You've signed a contract with me, and as long as there aren't any obstacles like those in the real world or the inner world, the contract can work its magic at crucial moments to teleport me to your side."

"That's it, let's disband."

......

When they returned to the activity room to get their things, Kitagawa Kaimu suddenly called out to Sakurajima Mai.

"Mai-senpai~"

Kitagawa Kaimu, looking very mysterious, secretly handed a small bag to Sakurajima Mai.

"Here, it's done, the pajamas."

"it is done?"

Upon hearing this, Mai Sakurajima quickly took the bag and secretly peeked inside.

Kitagawa Kaimu patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Mai-senpai, everything is done according to your requirements. The accessories are also ready, and everything is complete."

Mai Sakurajima nodded, looking very grateful.
