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

Good guy, she called him.

Even among the evil spirits in the underworld, the evil spirits in this mental hospital area are among the most insane.

After all, it is something constructed from people's negative impression of mental hospitals; in short, it is a mental patient among evil spirits.

Even the most insane evil spirits feel an instinctive fear when facing Night Star.

This guy... is different from ordinary exorcists.

He wanted to kill evil spirits, to devour them, to watch them wail and struggle in agony, simply because he could derive more pleasure and joy from them.

"Since they won't let us in..."

Ye Xing released the doorknob and chuckled softly.

"Then forget it."

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

Five minutes later.

The bandaged monster, hiding under the blanket, cautiously peeked through the small window at the door of the ward.

That human... has disappeared.

This finally put it at ease.

The bandaged monster sat up in bed and continued to observe the small window, confirming that the human was no longer outside the door.

It has never encountered anything like this since its inception...

Something I don't know how to describe.

It's like a twisted being that merely wears a human body but contains pure madness within.

The bandaged man has seen many evil spirits that have wandered into the mental hospital building area and ended up on his floor.

Some were frightened by its power and fled in terror, while others, knowing they had nowhere to escape, resisted in despair.

The only thing I've never seen before is someone who, in that situation, was still so eager to break in.

Fortunately, that guy had already left.

What puzzled the bandaged monster spirit was that, although the human male had left, why...

Why hasn't that feeling of extreme danger, as if I'm being watched, disappeared?

at this time.

The bandaged monster suddenly felt a cool breath blowing on its neck.

Then came a cheerful greeting.

"Hello."

"I'm in~"

The bandaged monster spirit trembled violently, its eyes filled with fear. Without hesitation, it immediately ran towards the ward door, opened the doorknob, and tried to escape into the corridor.

But a human arm gripped its left ankle tightly before it could escape.

The bandaged monster lay on the ground, flailing its arms, blood spilling from its body and leaving a long drag mark on the ground.

"No...no!"

Amid its desperate cries, the door to the ward was gently closed by a pair of slender hands.

Amidst the tearing of flesh and the wailing of the bandaged monster, silence returned to the corridor after a dozen seconds.

"Eating with one hand is really inconvenient."

Watching Ye Xing grab the head of the bandaged monster with one hand, step on its chest with his right foot, and tear off the twisted and terrifying head, he opened his mouth and swallowed all the black energy that the head had turned into, with a satisfied expression, Tamamo's expression was complicated, and she didn't know how to comment.

As an evil spirit, she could imagine the fear that the bandaged monster spirit felt.

no way.

The exorcist is too cunning.

Aren't you going to open the door?

walk slowly.

Then I'll go through the window.

First the head, then the left arm, the right arm, the left leg, the right leg, and finally the whole body.

Watching Yoruichi devour the bandaged monster spirit with a tearing-apart motion, Tamamo-no-Mae wondered if Yoruichi had simply exhausted too much power to devour it all, or if he simply preferred this cruel method.

If you have doubts, then ask.

"Night Star Lord...why are you eating little by little?"

"Hmm? Oh, you mean this?"

After greedily swallowing the last wisp of black energy that the bandaged monster's evil spirit had transformed into, Ye Xing finally raised his head to look at Tamamo-no-Mae and replied with a light laugh.

"There's no particular reason. When eating bread, don't we sometimes tear it into small pieces? It's just for fun."

After saying this, Ye Xing didn't linger and walked out of the ward with Tamamo-no-Mae.

In the flickering, dim light, his handsome, smiling face was revealed, yet it possessed a ghostly quality that sent chills down one's spine.

"I...I'm still very hungry."

..........

At dawn the following day.

While Yoruichi and Tamamo-no-Mae are embarking on a culinary journey through the challenging mental hospital dungeon of the underworld, Yotsuya Miko, Yuigahama Yui, and Sakurajima Mai are all keeping busy.

"The 145th."

Yotsuya Miko swung her pale golden Mikazuki Munechika, this sharp, spirit-grade sword piercing directly through the head of an evil spirit.

She looked up, gazing at the sun slowly rising on the horizon, and murmured to herself.

"It's...dawn..."

One of the two time periods during which humans can pass through the "door" is the time when they meet others; that time has already arrived.

"Futaba, should we ask Lord Yasakani to open the 'gate'? After a night's rest, his strength should have almost recovered, right?"

Upon hearing Yotsuya Miko's question, Futaba Rio, who was at Touma Kazusa's house on the other end of the walkie-talkie, remained silent for a long time before shaking her head.

“If a ‘door’ is opened at any location, even with the strength of an eight-foot-tall man, it can be maintained for several, or even more than ten hours, but it will only last for one hour when people are around, and during that time there will definitely be evil spirits trying to pass through the ‘door’.”

"Besides, Kyoto is such a big city. Even if we open the 'door,' if we can't make contact, Ye Xing might not be able to discover the 'door' we opened in such a short time."

"And the most important thing."

“We don’t know the situation in the other world. If Ye Xing is fighting the evil spirit that was born from the panic of people in this incident, opening the ‘door’ rashly may have the opposite effect and affect his battle.”

"Considering the above points, my opinion is that even if Lord Yasha's strength is restored, we should not open the 'door' for the time being."

Upon hearing Rio Futaba's words, Yui Yuigahama and Miko Yotsuya both remained silent.

They knew that Rio Futaba definitely wanted to open the "door" now and let Yohoshi return to the real world.

But when all the members are influenced by emotions, maintaining absolutely rational thinking is Rio Futaba's responsibility, and it is also one of the reasons why Yohoshi recruited her into Xyz Club.

"That's right."

To the surprise of Yotsuya Miko, Futaba Rio, and Sakurajima Mai, according to Sakurajima Mai's description, when fighting Ushi no Toki, she was almost out of control and cruelly tortured and killed her. Yui Yuigahama, who kept saying that she should return Yohoshi, actually smiled and agreed.

"Tuanzi...you..."

Yui Yuigahama picked up the walkie-talkie, looked at her Kiyohime, and replied with a gentle smile as she whipped a hidden evil spirit to pieces with its thick snake tail.

"Moreover, leaving Night Star in the Inner World is actually not a good thing for the enemy."

"What does this mean...?"

Yui Yuigahama smiled and said softly.

"We are in the real world, and Night Star is in the other world."

"The enemy now...has nowhere to escape."

..........

After ending the call, Rio Futaba made coffee, carried two cups to the living room, looked at Yukinoshita Haruno sitting on the sofa, resting her chin on one hand, lost in thought, sighed slightly, placed the coffee in her hand on the coffee table in front of her, and said in a stiff tone.

"Here's coffee, freshly brewed. Take it or leave it."

"Thank you."

Yukino Yukinoshita didn't stand on ceremony with Rio Futaba. She picked up her coffee cup, took a small sip, nodded, and praised her with a smile.

"Futaba, the coffee you made is really delicious."

"Hmph, just this once."

Rio Futaba also picked up her coffee cup and took a sip. The rich, bitter aroma made her mind much clearer.

"Why don't you go and rest? You must be very tired."

Rio Futaba was certainly aware of the physical and mental strain that would result from awakening and using soul materialization for the first time.

"rest..."

Yang Nai smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I just can't sleep."

Rio Futaba frowned slightly upon hearing this and put down the cup in her hand.

"Didn't you say yourself that it's like a tiger entering a forest full of rabbits, with no need to worry about Ye Xing's safety at all?"

"Haha."

Yukinoshita covered her mouth and chuckled softly, then sighed deeply, a complex look appearing in her eyes.

"I was saying that to my sister and the people in your club, just to calm them down. Now that I've become a psychic, I'm all too aware of the risks involved in exorcism."

Rio Futaba didn't know how to respond.

In her mind, Yukinoshita Haruno was a wicked woman who didn't care about other people's feelings, always said inappropriate things, took pleasure in offending others, and was very beautiful but had a terrible personality.
