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

Yotsuya Miko looked in the direction the other person was pointing and saw a white wooden door standing quietly not far away.

"Is this a 'door'? No... it feels different."

Yotsuya Miko frowned slightly as she observed the white door in the distance, wondering if this was also a "door".

Why is its appearance and the feeling it evokes completely different from ordinary "doors"?

Just then, the white door was suddenly kicked open.

To the astonishment of Miko Yotsuya and Hina Amano, a massive red-black vortex cloud burst forth from the crack in the door and soared into the sky.

As the red and black vortex cloud appeared, wispy golden rays emerged from the ground and converged towards the vortex cloud high in the sky.

"What...is this?"

223 The one who closed the door, the terror in the black mist

As more and more golden threads surged into the dark red vortex cloud high in the sky, Yotsuya Miko and Amano Hina felt the ground beneath their feet begin to tremble.

At first, they thought it was just a hallucination caused by the overwhelming sight before them, making them dizzy.

But what happens next...?

The earthquakes became increasingly noticeable, and the ground even began to shake.

"This is!?"

Yotsuya Miko forced herself to stay upright, staring at the open white door, disbelief appearing in her golden eyes.

"The earthquake...was caused by this?"

As the dark red vortex clouds gathered high in the sky, Yotsuya Miko and Amano Hina could feel the ground beneath their feet shaking more and more violently.

The two women simultaneously had the same idea.

These dark red swirling clouds were the culprit behind the earthquake, and they emanated from that white door.

Simply closing the door can prevent this earthquake.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yotsuya Miko, despite her exhaustion, rushed towards the open white door, placed her hands on it, and tried to forcefully close it.

She clenched her silver teeth, her golden eyes gleaming. Mikazuki Munechika, who had already sheathed himself at his waist, seemed to sense something and automatically drew his sword, the pale golden blade pressed against the door.

"hateful..."

Yotsuya Miko mobilized all the spiritual power in her body, trying to forcefully close the door, but the white door did not budge, and her already limited spiritual power was being consumed at an alarming rate.

"Do I need to use a key to close it...?"

Seeing the keyhole on the white door, Yotsuya Miko realized this.

Even if you realize it, what can you do?

She didn't have the key.

Let alone a key, Yotsuya Miko had never even seen or heard of such a mysterious door that could cause earthquake disasters.

"See you!"

Seeing Yotsuya Miko's struggling appearance, Amano Hina didn't hesitate for a moment. She ran straight to the white door, leaned her whole body against it, and pushed hard.

But the next second, Hina Amano found that she didn't feel any strain at all.

It's like leaning against a wall; no matter how hard you try, it won't do any good.

"Yin Cai, you have no spiritual power in your body, get out of here quickly!"

Yotsuya immediately discovered the reason.

Hina Amano is not a true psychic; at most, she has the talent to potentially awaken psychic abilities.

She alters the weather and summons lightning by praying and making a part of her body disappear in exchange for the intervention of the weather god.

Aside from her ability to "observe" evil spirits and ghosts, Amano Hina herself does not currently possess any special powers.

"Damn it...damn it!"

Realizing she couldn't offer any help to Yotsuya Miko, and seeing the other's clenched teeth and struggling expression, Amano Hina felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Is all I can do is watch as the other side struggles to hold on, and helplessly watch as the earthquake intensifies until it finally destroys the entire city of Kyoto?

"Absolutely not..."

A resolute look appeared in Amano Hina's eyes as she released her hands and walked to a distance of more than ten meters.

Just as Yotsuya Miko breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the other party had heeded her advice and was about to retreat to a safe place, she saw Amano Hina raise her head, stare straight at the dark, cloud-covered sky, and shout in a firm voice.

"Hey, you! Give me your power!"

As expected, there was no response from the clouds.

This time, however, Hina Amano didn't intend to pray; instead, she spoke in an unquestionable tone.

"This is not a plea... I am ordering you to fulfill the treaty in the name of the contract!"

The moment Haruna Hirano uttered the word "contract," the surrounding air seemed to tremble.

The next second, a blinding flash of lightning streaked through the clouds.

A rainbow-like aura emanated from Amano Hina's body.

She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself.

"it is as expected."

Hina Amano had already suspected this.

Why am I able to change the weather and summon lightning through prayer?

And why is it that every time I pray, a part of my body turns into a semi-transparent, seven-colored shape?

Because this is the price for obtaining the help of the weather god.

Costs and conditions.

There is only one way to make this happen between humans and evil spirits.

Sign a contract.

Regardless of the type of contract signed, as long as the other party does not violate it, the other party must fulfill the contract, regardless of the relative strength of the two parties.

simply put.

Hina Amano doesn't actually need to pray.

However, the weather god kept misleading her into believing that only through sincere prayer could she obtain his help.

In fact, this was part of the contract. It was the ability that Amano Hina obtained in exchange for her body gradually changing until she disappeared.

"Hina, you..."

"When you see your son, concentrate."

Hina Amano didn't say much, but simply returned to the white door, took a deep breath, and placed her hands on the door.

After she joined, Miko Yotsuya clearly felt much more relaxed.

only....

"It can't be pushed..."

No matter how hard Yotsuya Miko and Amano Hina tried, the white door remained unmoved. Or rather, the combined spiritual power of the two women was just enough to match the power of the door, preventing it from opening further outwards.

The key issue is that this is not a "door" to the inner world. Even if it doesn't continue to open, the black and red swirling clouds in the sky are still growing larger and larger, and the shaking of the ground is becoming more and more violent.

At this rate...

Meaningless.

Just then, strands of red silk threads suddenly appeared in mid-air.

Although Yotsuya Miko had never seen this before, Amano Hina knew that it was a red thread representing the god of Itomori Town.

After the red thread appeared, it didn't make any jokes or say any strange or funny things as usual, but instead directly covered the white door.

"Thank you."

Hina Amano knew that the guardian deity of Itomori Town was on her side.

Yotsuya Miko clearly saw that after the other party joined, the previously motionless white door began to gradually close inward, although very slowly, it was indeed closing.

"Too late...too slow...it's too late..."

Although the door was indeed gradually closing thanks to the sudden appearance of the red thread and the combined spiritual power of Mikazuki Munechika, Amano Hina, and herself, Yotsuya Miko realized that this speed was ultimately too slow.

Judging from the speed at which the ground is shaking, in another twenty seconds... no, in another ten seconds, an earthquake powerful enough to destroy the entire city of Kyoto will erupt.

Just as Yotsuya Miko and Amano Hina realized that at this rate, it would be too late even if they closed the door, a pale golden light appeared in the air.

"Roar!!!"

With a deafening roar, a golden goat's head suddenly appeared and slammed its head directly into the white door.

Although it is not a benevolent deity, it is still a deity with its own shrine in Kyoto City.

If Kyoto were destroyed, the golden goat's head would be no different from any other wandering ghost.

Moreover, it was also worried about something.

That Lord Night Star, we still don't know where he is.

If the other party finds out that I didn't lend a hand at the crucial moment, but instead stood by and did nothing...

The golden goat-headed creature chickened out.

It didn't want to be devoured alive by that terrifying human.

After the golden goat's head joined in pushing the door open, the white door was finally about to close.

It was just a crack in the door away.

But this tiny gap, which was not even a centimeter wide, was like an insurmountable chasm, once again creating a stalemate between the person pushing the door and the spirit.

"Just a little bit more..."

Seeing Yotsuya Miko in slight pain due to excessive spiritual energy depletion, yet still gritting her teeth and persevering, Amano Hina's eyes showed a complex expression. Finally, she made up her mind and silently prayed in her heart.
