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

"here..."

Looking at the hospital building in front of her, shrouded in the night, deathly silent, with only a few dim yellow lights flickering, which made it seem even more eerie, Tamamo-no-Mae showed a tense expression.

"Night Star Lord...do you...do you know where this place is?"

"Ok?"

Ye Xing put down his harmonica, and a dark, ghostly hand floated behind him. He pointed to the sign at the hospital entrance with his left hand and said speechlessly.

"You can't read?"

Tamamo-no-Mae rolled her eyes and said irritably.

"Of course I can read. I just want to ask you, what are you doing here in a mental hospital when you have nothing better to do? Do you know that there are many powerful evil spirits here that even I fear, who have no ability to think and only act on instinct?"

As a powerful being who dominated... or rather, once dominated, Tamamo-no-Mae only learned about the nature of the Underworld and why she was born through the explanation of Lord Yasakani. However, in terms of familiarity with the Underworld, the members of the Xyzance Society were clearly not as familiar as her.

Within the city of Kyoto in the underworld, there are many areas that even the powerful Tamamo-no-Mae dares not easily approach.

This is one of them.

Located on the outskirts of Kyoto City, the Kyoto Mental Illness Treatment Center, or Kyoto Psychiatric Hospital for short.

Tamamo-no-Mae always knew this place was dangerous, but it was only after understanding the true nature of the inner world that she realized why it was a dangerous area.

Most people have different impressions of mental hospitals, but they are definitely negative.

In particular, many horror movies and games like to use mental hospitals as their theme, which further amplifies people's negative emotions.

This led to the birth of...

It is a malevolent spirit filled with the purest killing intent, incapable of any communication, as insane as a demon from hell, and possessing immense power.

Faced with Tamamo-no-Mae's question, Yohoshi whispered a terrifying sentence that sent a chill down her spine.

"Of course I'm hungry."

"Moreover, this was the hungriest I've ever felt since I awakened my spiritual abilities."

At that moment, looking at Yoruhoshi with a frivolous smile, Tamamo-no-Mae suddenly felt that the terrifying beings in this mental hospital, which made ordinary evil spirits retreat, did not seem so terrifying after all.

No matter what kind of evil spirit it is, no matter what its appearance is...

In Ye Xing's eyes, they were all just food; the only difference was the strength of their power, as well as their texture and taste.

"Ye Xingjun..."

Although Tamamo-no-Mae thought so, she glanced at the other's missing right arm, her brows furrowed with worry, and she gently advised him.

“You just went through a battle a few hours ago... You yourself said that you are just an ordinary human right now. Even if you want to recover your strength as soon as possible... you should start by attacking those evil spirits with average strength. That would be safer.”

At this point, seeing that Yoru still looked unconvinced, Tamamo-no-Mae gritted her teeth, her face resolute, and extended her jade-like, smooth right arm.

"If all else fails, you can eat me."

"Eat you?"

Ye Xing shook his head and chuckled lightly, teasingly.

"That would mean producing and selling our own stuff, which is like me eating my own... that's disgusting, I can't do that."

Tamamo-no-Mae was speechless, not knowing where to even begin her rant.

Good heavens, you usually eat those bizarre and hideous evil spirits without hesitation, and if you have time, you even savor them carefully.

After all this, you're telling me you're disgusted?

They're surprisingly principled.

"Besides."

Ye Xing suddenly changed the subject, looking at Tamamo-no-Mae with a smile, and said softly.

“You are my important partner, not food. I will never eat you under any circumstances.”

Hearing this, Tamamo-no-Mae was deeply moved. She wasn't the type to be arrogant; since she was touched, she naturally showed it through her actions.

"I am very grateful that you can say that."

After bowing slightly, Tamamo-no-Mae looked at the hospital building with only a few windows and flickering lights, pursed her lips, and hesitated.

"Are you going in no matter what?"

"Yes."

"Even if Onimaru Kunitsuna and his spiritual abilities are unusable, and he's just an ordinary human, he could very well be torn to pieces and swallowed by those crazed evil spirits. Are you really going to take such a risk?"

"Yes."

"Well."

Tamamo-no-Mae abandoned her idea of ​​dissuading Quan Yexing, and a rare determination and seriousness appeared on her pretty and charming face.

Wearing wooden clogs and white socks, she slowly walked forward, heading towards the hospital building without hesitation, speaking calmly.

"In that case, my strength is meager, and I cannot guarantee that I can protect you completely."

"But I assure you, even if I die, I will die before you."

It's funny to think about.

Although Tamamo-no-Mae is an evil spirit born from the legend of the nine-tailed fox, she has never consumed the essence of any human man.

At least a few hours ago, he had not used any drugs.

Even Yoruhoshi, Rio Futaba, Yui Yuigahama, and Miko Yotsuya...

These four people were the first humans she had ever seen since she was born.

Tamamo-no-Mae is a conservative female...motherly evil spirit.

Having done such a thing, whether it was for healing or something else, it doesn't matter.

Her chastity was ultimately lost.

However, Tamamo-no-Mae did not regret it.

Now that we have accepted the Lord, we shall carry out our promise to the end.

............

The two, one human and one spirit, slowly entered the hospital building in front of them.

Upon entering, Yoruichi and Tamamo-no-Mae simultaneously sensed a strange and eerie aura.

Even without needing to sense anything, just looking at the pristine white hall, littered with blood and body parts, and the eerily flickering lights, one could tell that this area was extremely dangerous in the inner world.

"The evil spirits here... usually don't leave their own territory."

While keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings and observing whether any terrifying beings were lurking in the corners not illuminated by the lights, Tamamo-no-Mae explained to Yoru-no-Shi in a low voice.

"At first I didn't quite understand, but now I realize that they are different from me and Ba Chi. They are not independent individuals, but rather evil spirits formed from people's negative emotions towards this mental hospital. They have no intention of leaving, nor can they leave here, otherwise they will dissipate."

After listening, Ye Xing nodded in satisfaction and smiled.

"You're starting to act like a professional exorcist now, you've even learned to analyze things."

"Please be serious."

As Tamamo and Yoruhoshi walked towards the stairwell, Tamamo spoke with a serious expression.

"Although my strength has increased after I swallowed yours, I have not recovered to my full strength. I can only exert up to 50% of my power."

"Moreover, my true form is too conspicuous. If it were just me, it wouldn't matter."

"But you should understand that although you cannot use your powers now, you are still a genuine psychic, a delicacy in the eyes of evil spirits. I do not want to see you, who have just made a contract with me, end up being devoured by evil spirits. So, it is best to be cautious."

Ye Xing smiled and walked forward slowly.

"I'm being overly cautious."

Tamamo-no-Mae followed behind him, rolling her eyes in exasperation, thinking to herself, "You're still being cautious?"

You're going completely crazy.

Despite missing an arm and being unable to use his spiritual abilities, he still dared to challenge one of the most difficult dungeons in the underworld of Kyoto.

Tamamo-no-Mae felt both helpless and a strange sense of admiration and worship.

It seems that Night Star Lord's extraordinary composure in the face of evil spirits and his ability to engage in abstract thinking is not due to his immense power.

He's always been an abstract person.

Although it was the first time Tamamo-no-Mae and Yohoshi had worked together, they achieved a rare understanding on certain matters.

Just like...

I won't take the elevator.

The elevators in the alternate world are still functioning normally.

But what is this place?

It is a mental hospital where mad evil spirits roam, and terrifying evil spirits may appear anytime, anywhere.

Take the elevator?

Tamamo-no-Mae and Yohoshi would never touch upon the idiotic plots in horror movies.

"Regarding this premeditated attack, have you come up with anything?"

As she walked through the stairwell, Tamamo-no-Mae heard Yoru's question and frowned in confusion.

"With your intellect and exorcism experience... you don't seem to need my help to analyze things, do you?"

Night Star replied casually.

"Hey, it's just that my brain replacement isn't around, so you can take on this role for now."

Tamamo-no-Mae stuck out her tongue, made a face at Yoru-hoshi, and said with slight dissatisfaction.

"Tch, so I was just a substitute after all."

"Hey, you're wrong about that."

Night Star said in a serious tone.

"You still have an irreplaceable role."
