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

Faced with the approaching evil spirit, Miyamizu Mitsuha froze completely.

Before she could even feel fear or back away, she heard a metallic clang.

"Ding!"

The jet-black blade of Onimaru Kunitsuna traced a graceful arc in the air, like a crescent moon.

Although the arc was very beautiful, it was an irresistible sharpness for the evil spirit caught in its trajectory.

Its upper body continued to lunge forward, but it ended up falling directly to the ground.

At first, the evil spirit didn't know why.

When it turned its head, it realized that it had left a smooth cut on its lower body and was still standing there motionless.

"come."

On Ye Xing's pure black mask, a white smiley face appeared. He glanced at the hundreds of evil spirits eager to attack, swung his sword, Onimaru Kunitsuna, and turned it upside down. Without hesitation, the sharp tip of the sword pierced through the head of one of the evil spirits.

"Whoever goes first will have the honor of becoming the appetizer for Kyoto's number one exorcist."

The clouds in the sky grew thicker and thicker, and although it was still daytime, it was as dark as the dead of night.

Seeing the surrounding evil spirits hesitate and remain stationary, Night Star smiled and said softly.

"If you don't come up, I'm going to come over."

"Go."

As the words fell, the black and white headless monster, which had been keeping its hands clasped together to protect Ye Xing's head, slowly straightened up.

Although it had no lower body, its nearly five-meter-long, black-and-white upper body still exuded a sense of oppression to this group of ordinary evil spirits who were not particularly powerful.

"boom."

A pale, ghostly hand with sharp black nails slammed onto the ground.

The black and white headless monster has no legs and walks in a very special way, using its hands to support itself alternately to move in place of its legs.

Although the posture was somewhat strange, the speed was extremely fast.

"One."

A dark, ghostly hand reached out and grabbed one of the evil spirits, squeezing it tightly with its five fingers until it was crushed like a toy.

Immediately afterwards, the headless monster extended its pale, ghostly hand. Its sharp, black fingernails, like blades, sliced ​​several evil spirits into pieces with a mere touch.

The evil spirits, who had been eyeing them menacingly and eagerly with crazed and twisted expressions in their eyes, instantly turned to fear when they saw the headless black-and-white monster slaughter several of them as if it were a massacre.

The next second, Miyamizu Mitsuha witnessed a scene she would never forget.

The hundreds of evil spirits surrounding the platform emitted incomprehensible screams and dispersed like a tide, each fleeing into the distance.

The evil spirit...was scared away by humans?

Miyamizu Mitsuha never imagined she would witness something like this in her life.

But what she didn't expect was that Night Star didn't let the evil spirits go just because they escaped.

"Onimaru Kunitsuna."

Yoruichi released the long sword in his hand, and to the astonishment of Miyamizu Mitsuha and Amano Hina, the pure black blade gleamed and quickly transformed into a beautiful woman dressed in black mourning clothes with long hair reaching her waist.

"Owner."

Onimaru Kunitsuna, looking like a lovesick woman, bowed respectfully as soon as he came out.

"I'm too lazy to go, you go ahead."

"Yes, I understand."

Onimaru Kunitsuna shifted his gaze from Yoshinori, and when he saw the evil spirits fleeing in all directions, the gentleness and submissiveness he had shown when looking at his master vanished.

Instead, they were met with indifference and disgust.

In her human form, Onimaru Kunitsuna flashed by, and the sharp spiritual power she carried even cut a line through the curtain of rain that stretched across the sky in front of her.

Miyamizu Mitsuha and Amano Hina's vision was limited by the heavy rain, so they couldn't see clearly what was happening in the distance.

But amidst the gradually diminishing sound of rain, the terrified screams coming from all directions became increasingly clear.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Within just two minutes, the sky, which had been filled with dark clouds and was pouring rain, gradually lightened until it finally stopped completely.

The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the warm summer sun shone down on the ground once more.

"It's done."

Ye Xing said calmly, and his black coat and mask transformed back into black flames, disappearing into the air and returning him to his original attire.

Onimaru Kunitsuna and the black and white headless monster also disappeared.

Miyamizu Mitsuha parted her lips slightly, looking at the platform area that had returned to calm without leaving a trace, and then looked at Amano Hina beside her with a complicated expression.

"You...do this kind of thing all the time?"

Amano Hina, with a similarly complicated expression, looked at Yohoshi, who stood there relaxed as if enjoying a spring outing, and replied softly.

"If you're talking about exorcism... that's true, but his methods of exorcism are quite different from all of ours."

"You call this exorcism?"

Miyamizu Mitsuha had an expression that said she didn't know how to comment.

Is this an exorcism?

As a descendant of a family of shrine maidens, Mitsuha Miyamizu is quite familiar with the ghost stories of the Cherry Blossom Province.

When Onmyoji (yin-yang masters) exorcise demons, don't they have to use talismans, set up formations, go through countless hardships, and risk their lives to finally exorcise the evil spirits?

That's how stories are told.

But how come it's completely reversed when it comes to Ye Xing?

The one who went through all the trouble and made all the preparations in advance, setting up an ambush, turned out to be an evil spirit.

Those who risked their lives also became evil spirits.

Even the hundreds of terrifying-looking evil spirits, when being chased by the black-and-white headless monster and the woman in black mourning clothes, were like helpless little lambs, without any power to resist.

Is this a legitimate exorcism?

Hina Amano patted Mitsuha Miyamizu on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"I was like that at first too, you'll get used to it."

At this moment, the strands of red silk suddenly reappeared in the air, floated in front of Ye Xing, and quickly formed a sentence.

"As expected of the supreme hero chosen by heaven, your strength is indeed formidable. Mere evil spirits are no match for you!"

Miyamizu Mitsuha and Amano Hina, who were standing nearby, were speechless upon seeing this statement and feeling the sincere admiration, praise, and worship in it.

Wow, I've really seen something new today.

I've heard of the Earth God, the God of Wealth, the God of Love, and the Evil God.

But this was truly the first time the two women had ever met such a simp.

Immediately afterwards, the red thread trembled, as if hesitating, and carefully formed a tentative sentence.

"Um... I need to discuss something with you."

Ye Xing waved his hand dismissively.

"You want Miyamizu Mitsuha back into your body, right? Okay."

Red Thread: "As expected of you, you guessed what I wanted to say right away. Thank you for your understanding."

Despite the seemingly unreliable appearance of the deity represented by the red thread, He is actually a very responsible deity.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths to praise Yoshinori in order to save the residents of Itomori.

Although Mitsuha Miyamizu is only a first-year high school student, she is a legitimate heir to a family of shrine maidens. Every year at the festival, she is the one who wears the shrine maiden's outfit and makes kuchikamizake (chewed sake).

Just like the old woman in that shrine in Tokyo.

Deities are extremely concerned about the personal safety of their messengers.

Evil spirits appeared as soon as we arrived around Itomori Town.

It's unclear what will happen next.

Mitsuha Miyamizu in her spirit form is far too easy for evil spirits to target, and she herself has no fighting ability.

Returning to your own body is the safest option.

Both are gods, but one who wants to protect the residents of Itomori Town will disrupt his original plans because he is worried about the safety of his divine messenger.

Another method involved using the weather as leverage, demanding a young girl as a human sacrifice.

The difference between gods is greater than that between humans and dogs.

As Miyamizu Mitsuha disappeared from sight, Amano Hina breathed a sigh of relief.

She stole a glance at Ye Xing beside her, her expression somewhat complicated, her lips trembling as she hesitantly spoke in a low voice.

"Or... let's go back, it's too dangerous."

Yoruichi glanced at Amano Hina and said calmly.

"Think it through. If you give up halfway and go straight back to Kyoto, you'll become a living sacrifice in a while."

Upon hearing this, Hina Amano felt a tremor in her heart.

really.

The other party has already noticed the abnormality in his body.

I came to Itomori Town to find the god that the Miyamizu family serves, in order to solve my problem.

That's precisely why Hina Amano has a sense of heaviness.

Flash floods, evil spirits, torrential rain.

In order to save themselves, how many more people will be put in danger in the future?

"I..."
