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

And now, this evil spirit looks completely submissive, even somewhat grateful.

What is this? The ultimate brain-degrading halo?

What Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't know was that although the Killing Demon was simple-minded, he wasn't so simple that he could be fooled by just a few words.

Its behavior was entirely due to sensing something unusual about Night Star.

As a death god known as a monster, it is a special being that only attacks evil spirits and ghosts and has no malice towards humans. The power of the killing demon is far beyond that of ordinary evil spirits.

That's why it was able to sense how much the human male opposite it had changed since the last time it met him.

simply put.

To a demon with keen senses like the Killing Ghost, the aura emanating from Night Star was like that of a blood-soaked murderer with limbs hanging from his body.

The strong smell of blood and the menacing aura made it hard to breathe.

This is how Night Star appears in the eyes of the Killer Demon.

And, compared to the last time we met...

The malevolent aura emanating from Ye Xing, the kind that comes from slaughtering countless evil spirits, had become much stronger.

This is the real reason why the killer lowered his guard.

After taking away his eyeballs, the other party was indeed slaughtering evil spirits at an unimaginable and astonishing speed.

This brought great pleasure to the killing demons who harbored a strong desire to kill evil spirits and ghosts.

"By the way, I was talking about Xiao Sha."

Night Star pressed the elevator button, patted Killer Ghost on the shoulder, and looked very friendly.

"You can talk now?"

The Killer Demon spoke in a cold, emotionless tone.

"After eating a lot of evil spirits, you will get it."

"That's it."

Night Star was not surprised by this.

He already knew that evil spirits could increase their power by devouring other evil spirits.

"Ding~"

As the elevator doors slowly opened, Ye Xing and the Killer Ghost stepped inside together.

Then, looking at Hiratsuka Shizuka standing outside with a blank expression, he urged her on.

"Come in, hurry up, Xiao Jing."

"Come in..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka glanced at the tall, monstrous killer whose head almost touched the top of the elevator, whose face was horribly distorted and whose body was covered in blood.

Riding in the same elevator as an evil spirit?

"Hurry up, stop standing there."

Yoruichi stepped forward, grabbed Hiratsuka Shizuka's wrist, pulled her into the elevator, and pressed the button to go to the top floor.

Hiratsuka Shizuka glanced cautiously at the motionless Killing Demon standing there, then subtly moved to the side, hiding behind Yoru, and whispered.

"Um...shouldn't we go to the lobby on the first floor and leave this hotel?"

"That's not the case."

Ye Xing shook his head, his expression still relaxed and calm, as if standing next to a terrifying demon posed no pressure to him at all, and explained in a light tone.

"Let me explain it to you in a simple way."

"There are only two ways to leave this area and return to a safe place."

"The first one can be understood as escaping the influence of the evil spirit's power."

"However, evil spirits can move, and in the process of moving, they will encounter many attacks like the one we just saw."

“If it were just you and me, I would definitely choose to take you away from here immediately.”

At this point, Yohoshi paused for a moment, and then said something amazing that made Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had lived for more than twenty years, feel her heart flutter for the first time.

"After all, you are a very important person to me."

Upon hearing this, Hiratsuka Shizuka's heart skipped a beat.

Someone very important?

Confess your love?

Is this a confession of love?!

Thinking back... why did Ye Xing suddenly ask for my room number when we met in the commercial pedestrian street this morning?

Is it a coincidence that this is happening in the hotel now?

How can this be.

Hiratsuka Shizuka finally understood.

Ye Xing asked for his address and braved the torrential rain to come to this hotel, specifically to protect him.

In addition to what I just said...

Hiratsuka Shizuka felt that her defenses were crumbling, bit by bit, irreversibly.

We can't hold on any longer, who can?

"Ding~"

As the elevator announcement sounded, the two people and the spirit arrived at the top floor.

After Hiratsuka Shizuka followed Yosei out of the elevator, she saw that the Killer Demon was still standing inside. She hesitated for a moment, but finally tugged at Yosei's sleeve to remind him.

"Um...your friend...your friend is still inside."

Seeing Ye Xing turn to look at him, the Killer Ghost extended his gray-white left hand, pressed the button to go to the first floor, and spoke in a deep voice.

"I'll go down."

Night Star exclaimed in surprise.

"Wow, you can even press the elevator button?"

Killer Demon: "..."

After the elevator doors closed, Hiratsuka Shizuka seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, finally looking at Yoru with a complicated expression.

"You...you know such evil spirits?"

"You recognize it too, it's the Killer Demon."

"A killing machine?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka felt as if she had heard the word somewhere before. She tried hard to recall, and a few seconds later her expression suddenly changed.

"Is it that legendary Grim Reaper among all demons, the Killing Demon, who only targets his own kind?"

"Yes."

Although Hiratsuka Shizuka hadn't specifically researched the various strange tales and legends of Sakura Province like Yotsuya Miko had, she was clearly familiar with them and immediately began to speak.

"So, it appeared here to hunt other evil spirits? And how did you come to know it?"

"Let's talk about this later."

Ye Xing waved his hand, and Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded without asking any further questions, since they were still in danger.

As the two walked deeper into the hotel, Ye Xing spoke.

"The second way to escape danger, as mentioned before, is to find the key evil spirit and destroy it."

Hiratsuka Shizuka frowned slightly, her face showing concern.

"So... you're planning to go find that evil spirit? Won't it be dangerous?"

"What danger could there be?"

Ye Xing smiled, raised the shower head in his hand, and said in a serious tone.

"The evil spirit may be powerful, but I, the Sprayer Swordsman, am no ordinary person!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka was speechless at the absurd words Yohoshi used.

She looked at the showerhead in the other person's hand and wondered how this thing could kill those hideous and terrifying evil spirits.

"Are you really planning to use this to fight those evil spirits?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka frowned, and although she tried to remain calm, her concern and worry were evident in her voice.

"Since it's a dangerous situation, let's not play abstract games at a time like this..."

Just as Hiratsuka Shizuka was halfway through her story, a gaunt and short evil spirit suddenly rushed out from around the corner ahead.

"You can see me! Woman!"

The other person moved with the agility of a monkey. After a quick movement against the wall, they kicked off with their legs and reached out with their dirty hands, their fingernails still covered in dirt, to grab at Hiratsuka Shizuka's chest. Their eyes were filled with an extremely intense, twisted excitement.

Faced with the perverted and lecherous behavior of this evil spirit, Hiratsuka Shizuka was slightly taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, she showed displeasure; more than fear, she felt anger.

"Go to hell!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka clenched her right fist, lowered her body slightly, and used her waist to deliver the most powerful punch of her life.

"boom!"

The diminutive evil spirit was still in mid-air when it was struck in the face by Hiratsuka Shizuka's fist, sending it flying backward and crashing into the wall with a muffled thud.

"Humph."

Hiratsuka Shizuka clenched her fist, looking arrogant.

"A lecherous guy like that deserves a good beating from my iron fist!"

Seeing Hiratsuka Shizuka's violent appearance, Yohoshi commented from the side.
