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

"Wait a moment."

Before Oda Noto could finish speaking, Yohoshi turned to look at Yukino Yukinoshita standing there and said calmly.

"Yukinoshita-san, what are your thoughts after hearing this?"

Faced with this question, Yukino suddenly had a very strange feeling.

At this moment, it seemed as if one's own destiny had been divided into two completely different paths.

The dividing line lies in whether she can provide the answer that Night Star wants.

"The Weather Maiden...Legend..."

From the name "Weather Maiden," Yukino could probably guess that it was a ghost story related to the weather.

"Sir, I'd like to ask you something..."

Before Yukino could even ask, Oda Noto suddenly showed a look of emotion.

"Oh, this young lady is quite nice. Sit down and let's talk. Sit down and let's talk."

Old gentleman.

What a kind and friendly way to address someone!

Especially when compared to Old Deng, he seems even more endearing.

Yukino did not sit down, but went straight to the point.

"A 'weather maiden' is a special person who can restore the weather to normal and stop the rain, right?"

Oda Noto nodded.

"Yes."

"Since they're called 'Sunny Maidens,' does that mean they're all women?"

"That's right, and only a pure and innocent young girl will do."

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita had already guessed the truth, but to confirm her suspicions, she still asked the most crucial question with a heavy expression.

"So, if we find the Weather Maiden, how can we... restore the weather to normal?"

Oda Noto slowly opened his mouth and uttered a word that caused both Yukino Yukinoshita and Saki Kawasaki to change their expressions.

"Living sacrifice."

"Human sacrifice..."

Yukino Yukinoshita and Saki Kawasaki, although they had not specifically studied paranormal matters, had heard of the so-called "human sacrifice".

In ancient times, people would offer all sorts of sacrifices to pray to heaven or the gods for protection.

Needless to say, inanimate objects like gold and silver treasures also include livestock such as cattle and sheep.

The so-called "living sacrifice" is to offer a living person as a sacrifice to the gods.

Things like binding virgin girls hand and foot and throwing them into the rushing river in exchange for the river god's blessing—such extremely cruel things were considered perfectly normal by people in that era.

Yukino Yukinoshita finally confirmed her suspicions, turned to look at Yohoshi, and said in a low voice with a heavy expression.

"If I'm not mistaken... that serial killer has also heard the story of the Weather Maiden..."

Yukino pursed her lips, but the shock and horror in her heart could not be shaken off no matter what.

She forced herself to remain calm and spoke slowly.

"The true motive of the Teru Teru Bozu killer... is to carry out a cruel and inhumane human sacrifice..."

At this point, Yukino's expression suddenly changed.

"If that's really the case, wouldn't Amano-kun be in great danger!?"

Even now, Yukino Yukinoshita still finds it hard to believe that a fifteen-year-old human girl could possess the ability to change the weather.

But at this point, the question is no longer important.

To outsiders, Hina Amano is a genuine weather girl.

How could that mad killer, motivated by sacrificing people to change the weather, possibly let go of such an obvious target?

I don't think so.

Ye Xing tapped her fingers lightly on the countertop and said calmly.

"Yukinoshita-kun, you are still too superficial, limited to the thinking of a normal person, and haven't put yourself in the shoes of that murderer."

Upon hearing this, Yukino frowned slightly.

"How can a normal person think from the perspective of a madman? Unless they are a madman themselves."

"Hey, isn't this a coincidence?"

As if he had been waiting for this question, Ye Xing immediately replied with a smile.

"Perfect, I'm not exactly a mentally sound person either."

Yukino Yukinoshita was utterly speechless.

"You look pretty smug, don't you?"

"Oh, it's just a minor talent, nothing to brag about."

Ye Xing waved his hand, then smiled and spoke.

“Perfect timing. I have another friend who isn’t quite mentally stable either, but he’s very professional when it comes to finding criminals.”

At this point, Ye Xing took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number.

The ringtone only rang briefly before being answered immediately.

The voice coming from the other end was Light Yagami's familiar, smiling voice.

"Yexingjun."

Ye Xing didn't bother with pleasantries and went straight to the point.

"There's something I need your help with."

Light Yagami on the other end of the phone replied without the slightest hesitation.

"Then let's meet at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, still in Kyoto, at that coffee shop we went to before."

"OK, let's talk in detail when we meet tomorrow."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Saki Kawasaki couldn't help but ask curiously.

Who are you calling?

Ye Xing casually replied, "An acquaintance in Tokyo."

"Eh?"

Upon hearing the name Tokyo, both Saki Kawasaki and Yukino Yukinoshita paused for a moment before exclaiming in unison.

"You just said one sentence, and they're willing to come all the way from Tokyo first thing tomorrow morning? That's just too much..."

Yukino Yukinoshita felt as if something inside her had been touched.

He simply said he needed help, without even knowing what it was, and then promised to come to Kyoto from Tokyo first thing tomorrow morning.

To be honest, Yukino was shocked.

This kind of relationship...

Can it already be considered an authentic item?

"What are you thinking about?"

Noticing Yukino's thoughtful expression, Yohoshi seemed to have read her thoughts and emphasized it deliberately.

"It's a man, not a woman. Don't have any strange ideas."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Seeing Yukino Yukinoshita pretending to be nonchalant despite still having doubts, Yohoshi secretly made a vow in his heart.

Sooner or later, I'll make sure you and your sister Yang Nai get to taste my big one.

........

The following morning, at nine o'clock.

"Yexingjun."

Upon seeing Yoru enter the coffee shop, Light Yagami, who was sitting at a table, immediately stood up, smiled, and waved in greeting.

"Night God."

Yoru walked over slowly and sat down opposite Light Yagami.

Before he could speak, Light Yagami smiled first.

"Before we get down to business, congratulations on getting first place in the joint exam."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xing showed little surprise, but simply chuckled and asked in return.

"Oh, you already knew? You're very well-informed."

Light Yagami pushed one of the two cups of coffee in front of him toward Yosei, still wearing a warm and kind smile.

"Of course, my father is the head of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Metropolitan Police Department. I heard that he may be promoted soon. Even in the private Shuchiin Academy, there are many children of my father's friends. I have been keeping in touch with them recently."

Ye Xing nodded noncommittally.

"Making friends...that's not like you at all."

"friend?"

Upon hearing this word, Light Yagami's smile widened, but his eyes revealed undisguised contempt and disdain.

"How could I possibly become friends with those boring guys who only want power?"
