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

Ye Xing smiled and waved.

"In that case, we'll head out now. Remember to give us a five-star review!"

"Wait a moment."

Just as Yosei was about to leave with Touma Kazusa, Makinohara Shoko, and Yukinoshita Yukino, Takanashi Touka called him back. Her red eyes revealed a complex expression, as if she was struggling with something. In the end, she took out her phone from her pocket.

"Could I leave you my contact information?"

"can."

After exchanging contact information with Takanashi Touka and walking away on the street, Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Yohoshi with a frivolous smile and said softly in a slightly awkward tone.

"You gave them your contact information just because they asked for it?"

"Eh, Yukinoshita-san, you're mistaken."

Ye Xing waved his hand, his expression serious.

"I exchanged contact information with Ms. Takanashi for a very important reason."

"Oh?"

Yukino Yukinoshita raised an eyebrow, asking curiously.

"Could it be that this exorcism operation is not over yet?"

"Oh, that's over."

Yoru gave a reply that surprised Yukino, and the serious look on her face vanished instantly as she smiled.

"Of course it's because she's pretty."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "...You bastard..."

Poor Yukino Yukinoshita was manipulated by Yohoshi.

.......

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

As for Hayasaka Ai, Xyz has not yet given a response, since judging from Shinomiya Kaguya's symptoms, she is not going to die anytime soon.

However, during the time the members were away from Kyoto, although Tamamo-no-Mae and Yasakani-sama took turns patrolling, their efficiency was not very high because they were missing Yotsuya Miko, an important reconnaissance-type ability user.

Oda Noto has a huge backlog of exorcism requests, all of which require urgent attention.

There is another reason that is difficult to talk about.

The cost of living in Tokyo... is indeed quite high.

To summarize in one sentence.

The club's activity funds are almost used up.

Admittedly, among the members are wealthy young ladies like Kazusa Touma, Yukino Yukinoshita, Mai Sakurajima, and Rio Futaba, who don't need to worry about money at all.

If we go out together, it's impossible for them to pay for everything, and the other members would feel embarrassed to spend their money.

This is what is meant by "one thing at a time".

Meanwhile, Hina Amano has not participated in any of the group's collective activities during this period, and she even missed the two meetings held during that time.

Now she only does one thing every day.

Part-time job.

They worked themselves to the bone.

Although the members didn't say it explicitly, they all knew why Amano Hina did it.

No one can guarantee that the plan that the Superpower Society has meticulously prepared for so long, with all the awakened soul-manifestation members working together, will definitely be able to destroy that weather god.

After all, although the other party is not a good thing, it is a genuine deity that can influence the weather of the entire Sakura Province.

If the plan fails...

If Amano Hina disappears...

She hoped to leave her younger brother enough money before she disappeared, so that he could still live a normal life even if she, as his older sister, was gone.

Meanwhile, in Tokyo, the public execution of the prisoner Miura by Light Yagami also sparked a heated discussion.

Procedural justice vs. outcome justice.

Online support is almost unanimously overwhelmingly in favor of "Kira".

After all, a criminal who commits such a horrific crime as raping and murdering a young girl, and who also has a history of mental illness, is unlikely to be sentenced to death and has the potential to return to society and continue committing crimes, is exactly the kind of evil that Light Yagami believes should be exposed to the public and punished.

Most importantly, during the live television broadcast, all viewers clearly heard L's direct provocation of "Kira".

However, Kira did not exhibit any aggressive behavior.

It seems like they lost.

In reality, it was a huge win.

Kira's calm and indifferent attitude towards provocations, and his unwavering adherence to his own beliefs, has caused his popularity to surge once again.

As Light Yagami made his first public appearance as "Kira," people also noticed something.

Kira and Mask once appeared together in a shopping street in Kyoto City, joining forces to eliminate a violent gang.

The fact that these two mysterious heroes are actually cooperating with each other has sparked heated discussions among the citizens of Sakura Province.

This is roughly what a high-profile collaboration is all about.

........

That morning, at Ye Xing's home.

"Yukinoshita."

Touma Kazusa, who slept until noon, rubbed her eyes and came out of her room. She saw Yukino Yukinoshita sitting alone on the sofa and asked her expressionlessly.

"Where are Yexing and Makinohara Shoko?"

Yukino and Touma lived together for a while at the beginning of summer vacation, before the Teru Teru Bozu killer was eliminated.

They spent another seven days together, and Yukino Yukinoshita even became an internal member, accompanying Yohoshi every day to participate in exorcism operations. The atmosphere between them was no longer as hostile as it had been at the beginning.

Of course, this is limited to normal conversation; going out to eat or go shopping alone is not very realistic.

"They've all gone out."

"Where did you go?"

"Makihara-kun took Menma and Yasakatsu out for a walk. Although I can't see them, I heard that Yasakatsu is very strong in combat, and Yohoshi agreed to it, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Touma Kazusa sat down on the sofa, keeping a distance of one body length from Yukino Yukinoshita, unwrapped a piece of milk candy from her pocket, put it in her mouth, and said softly.

"I don't care where she goes, the important thing is Night Star."

"He went to give an interview."

"Oh."

Upon hearing Touma Kazusa's brief one-word reply, Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly and remained silent for a long while before finally speaking up.

"Don't you want to ask who he was interviewing with, and who was the person interviewing him?"

"It doesn't matter."

Touma Kazusa shook her head, her expression as calm as ever.

Yukino Yukinoshita sighed softly, looking at Touma Kazusa squatting on the sofa with a complicated expression.

"To be honest, I really don't understand. You were willing to shield him from that truck when it crashed into you, but now you're behaving like this... I know what is called love, but it doesn't seem to be like this."

Upon hearing the word "love," Touma Kazusa's fair face flushed slightly, and she vehemently denied it.

"We're just friends."

Yukino Yukinoshita has always been outspoken, and this time is no exception.

"You can only fool yourself with that, you can't fool anyone else, can you?"

"I..."

Upon hearing this, Touma Kazusa lowered her head, wrapped her arms around her legs, and curled up on the sofa, her delicate eyes revealing a deep sense of loneliness.

"Someone as useless as me, all I need is to be by his side... to give him everything, that's all I have..."

"You're too insecure."

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly, as if she was pondering something.

This was the first time she had ever known that Touma Kazusa harbored such deep-seated inferiority complex.

Yukino finally understood why the other person was being so obvious, yet refused to admit their feelings for Yohoshi.

A deep sense of inferiority made Touma Kazusa's attitude towards Yohoshi almost humble.

But.......

Before even establishing a romantic relationship, someone would give their life for another person without asking for anything in return...

Touma Kazusa's feelings for Yohoshi perfectly match Yukino Yukinoshita's definition of what constitutes a "real thing".

The key point is that she always felt something was off.

Is this all there is to the real thing?

"Touma... no, Kazusa."

Yukino Yukinoshita stood up from the sofa, walked to Touma Kazusa, and slowly began to speak.

"I can help you if you'd like."

Touma Kazusa raised her head and murmured.

"Help me...what?"

Yukino Yukinoshita gently tucked her long hair behind her ear and began to speak slowly.

"Speaking of which, you had contact with that guy on your first day of school, but now that half of summer vacation is over, there's still no progress. If you continue to hold onto this mindset and stay in the same place, one day you'll drift further and further away from him."

"If that's the case..."
