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

"I actually think your original black eyes are more attractive."

"Eh..."

Kitagawa Kaimu seemed to want to say something, but then she changed the subject and smiled sweetly.

"But then again, you have black eyes, and you're so narcissistic, you'd definitely think black is the most beautiful color."

At this point, Kitagawa Kaimu subconsciously moved closer to Yosei, her bare, snow-white feet stepping on the wooden floor. She stood on tiptoe, trying to observe Yosei's eyes closely, and said thoughtfully.

"Your eyes are so beautiful."

"And the lips...nose...chin..."

Kitagawa Kaimu ultimately underestimated the lethality of Yoru's appearance and overestimated his own composure.

She had only wanted to look into the other person's eyes, but now she was completely captivated. Her pink lips parted slightly, gradually approaching Ye Xing's lips.

"It's time to go out."

Hearing Yoshiki's sudden reminder, Kitagawa Kaimu snapped out of her daze, her pretty face instantly turning bright red.

As she watched Ye Xing push open the door and walk away, she realized something she didn't want to accept, but couldn't deny.

I... have fallen in love.

When did it start...?

Was it when Yoru accompanied me to a cosplay event in Tokyo?

When you go out to buy clothes together, and the other person stands next to the "Masked" standee and says something that is completely consistent with your cosplay concept?

Or perhaps, even earlier, on that sunny afternoon when Yoru first invited her to the Superpower Club's activity room...

In short, Kitagawa Kaimu finally understood one thing.

The fact that I asked Ye Xing to help me draw tally marks back then shows that I...

It has already fallen.

"Sorry...Shashi."

Kitagawa Kaimu wore black flip-flops, revealing her fair feet, with light pink nail polish on her toes, making her the epitome of a hot summer girl.

"I...can't give up."

Kaimu Kitagawa is not the kind of person who is indecisive.

She and Saki Kawasaki are indeed very good friends.

But this doesn't mean that she's willing to back down after realizing her feelings for Ye Xing.

We cannot back down even a little.

Since they are friends and have fallen for the same person, based on Kitagawa Umimu's understanding of Kawasaki Saki, she certainly won't give up either.

In this case...

Let's compete fairly and squarely!

.........

Meanwhile, in a secluded area of ​​Kyoto City.

The flickering, dim streetlights did little to illuminate the area; instead, they made the quiet, secluded path appear even more eerie in the early morning.

"found it."

Rio Futaba saw several strangely distorted evil spirits, each about three meters tall, gathered together in the flickering streetlights.

She took off her glasses, tied her hair up in a high ponytail, and a pale, bone-white ring on the ring finger of her right hand shimmered slightly.

"Tear off the disguise, Bone Woman."

The moment Rio Futaba uttered the first word, the ring instantly expanded.

By the time she finished speaking, her body was covered with the clothes she wore during battle to increase her defense and conceal her identity, and her face was covered with a white mask that looked like it was made of bone.

Sensing the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the air, the several evil spirits gathered together instantly turned their heads, locking onto Futaba Rio standing there with their ferocious pupils, their voices filled with endless resentment.

"You...can see..."

Bone spurs.

Rio Futaba didn't waste any words, simply uttering two words. The Bone Woman appeared behind her, several sharp bone spurs extending from within her wide kimono, piercing directly through the foreheads of the evil spirits.

From the moment Rio Futaba liberated her soul and materialized it, uttering the first word of the soul's true name, to the end of the battle when the evil spirits turned into black mist and dissipated, the entire process took less than two seconds.

Mai Sakurajima, who was watching the game from the sidelines, couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Rio Futaba is indeed very strong.

To be honest, although there is a difference in the strength of their spiritual power, they are still at the same level.

The number of times he received the Night Star's Infusion... should be about the same.

Of course, this is on the premise that the amount he infuses to himself and to Futaba is roughly the same each time.

However, even when there is no difference in the level of spiritual power, the combat power that can be exerted when facing evil spirits is vastly different.

This is the difference that arises from the proficiency in manifesting the soul and the user's specific development of the soul's true form.

"Just like I just demonstrated."

Rio Futaba's outfit, formed using her soul materialization ability, disappeared, leaving only the white ring on her right ring finger.

She walked up to Mai Sakurajima, untied her twin tails, took her glasses out of her white coat pocket and put them on, then raised her right hand to show Mai Sakurajima the white ring and said calmly.

"In normal times, one should maintain the power of soul materialization to form such an inconspicuous little object. This not only improves one's control over spiritual power, but also allows one to change at the fastest speed in case of a sudden crisis. After all, going from zero to ten is much faster than going from one to ten. It's not just a difference of a number."

Mai Sakurajima nodded as if she understood, and said thoughtfully.

"So, even if one already possesses the ability to materialize their soul, using only a tiny bit of power is far faster than starting from scratch...?"

Mai Sakurajima looked at Rio Futaba and smiled.

"Futaba, you are really amazing. You actually managed to come up with such a method."

"nothing."

Rio Futaba wasn't used to such direct praise. She turned her face away shyly, adjusted her glasses, and said in a flat tone.

"As an ordinary psychic myself, the methods I've devised for using psychic power are clearly more suitable to share with everyone compared to that abstract guy. This is also one of my responsibilities as a member of the Xyz Society."

After saying that, Rio Futaba walked forward on her own.

"Continue the exorcism."

"it is good."

Yui Yuigahama and Miko Yotsuya cannot go out at night, but Rio Futaba and Mai Sakurajima do not have this concern.

After Makinohara Shoko developed puberty syndrome with sudden physical growth, she made an excuse to stay at a friend's house for a while so that her family wouldn't find out.

As mentioned before, because Makinohara Shoko was nearing the end of her life, her parents spoiled her and fulfilled almost all her requests.

And so-called friends...

It refers to Mai Sakurajima.

There's no way around it; Mai Sakurajima is quite famous, and since she lives in the home of a former national idol actress, Shoko Makinohara's parents aren't worried.

Of course, Makinohara Shoko actually still lives at Yohoshi's house.

Menma, who was originally under the care of Mai Sakurajima, and Yasakani-sama, who was protecting Shoko Makinohara, also went along.

That's why she's now able to come out and perform exorcisms with Rio Futaba, who also lives alone.

"That rascal..."

Mai Sakurajima looked up at the dazzling night sky, the face of Yoruichi appearing in her mind, and murmured to herself.

"What should I do now... in the real world, or in the other world...?"

........

Neither answer is correct.

The place where the night star is is called 711-Eleven convenience store.

"This rice ball is delicious, I'll buy two."

Kitagawa Kaimu browsed the shelves, her already empty stomach growling loudly as she looked at the dazzling array of goods.

She picked up two rice balls, hesitated for a moment, and just when Yohoshi thought she was going to put them back, she saw Kitagawa Kaimu take a few more.

Two minutes later.

"That's all, please pay the bill."

Kitagawa Kaimu carried a huge stack of rice balls, drinks, snacks, and other items and placed them on the convenience store counter. The quantity was so large that it was almost like a small mountain.

"You want all of these?"

Seeing the dumbfounded female shop assistant, Kitagawa Kaimu nodded with a smile.

"Yes, I want them all."

She took out her wallet from her pocket, paid the bill, and left the convenience store with Ye Xing, carrying a large bag of snacks.

"Hehe~"

Looking at Kitagawa Kaimu's innocent smile, Yohoshi couldn't help but complain.

"You're so happy just because there's food?"

Of course!

Kitagawa Kaimu puffed out her cheeks, looking somewhat angry, and said angrily.

"What do you mean by that look? I'm still growing, so of course I need to eat more. Besides, there's your share too."

"That's good."

Kitagawa Kaimu and Yohoshi walked together on the street in the early morning. Listening to the cicadas chirping, she stole a glance at Yohoshi's profile, tucked a strand of light golden hair behind her ear, and asked softly.

"How did today's interview go?"

"It went pretty smoothly."
