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

At this point, Light Yagami shook his head with a wry smile.

"But it seems they don't need my help at all."

Having worked together in Tokyo before, Yotsuya Miko had a good understanding of Yagami Light's personality, so she wasn't particularly surprised or offended that he hadn't remembered her name.

Light Yagami is that kind of person.

In his eyes, perhaps only Night Star could be considered a companion.

If it weren't for Yohoshi, Yagami Light probably wouldn't even consider those of them, who possessed the same abilities, a threat.

Yotsuya Miko finally understood.

Light Yagami is not gay.

He is simply someone who only acknowledges Ye Xing.

That's why, when Yotsuya Miko contacted the other party, she didn't mention anything about Kyoto being in danger or evil spirits committing mass murder, because she knew the other party wouldn't care.

But as soon as Yohoshi's name was mentioned, Light Yagami immediately agreed to come to Kyoto to help search for the evil spirit and bring Yohoshi back from the Otherworld.

Kira, an unofficial temporary worker of the Superpower Society who was not part of Shuten-dōji's or Hannya's plans and had been working in Tokyo, was also the most important trump card in Rio Futaba's plan.

Now it seems that it's not necessary.

"Yeah."

Yoru nods noncommittally, looks at Futaba Rio, and chuckles.

"Contact Chief Yagami and have him come up to rescue the hostages. This credit should go to my sworn brother, Soichiro."

Upon hearing this, Light Yagami couldn't help but roll his eyes.

You little rascal, you definitely did that on purpose, didn't you?

Yagami, the director, and he even specifically mentioned Soichiro, giving him his full name and title, as if he was afraid I wouldn't know that the sworn brother you mentioned was my father, right?

So what have I become?

Your nephew?

"okay, I get it."

Soichiro Yagami was a great help in this incident, especially when repairing the power station. Rio Futaba felt that the credit should be given to him, since if Chief Yagami could be promoted, the operations of the Superpower Society in Kyoto would become much smoother.

"Chief Yagami, please come up and rescue the hostages."

Seeing that these people in front of him completely disregarded his threat, Shuten-dōji's eyes widened in fury as he roared menacingly.

"Shut up! Didn't you hear me?! If anyone dares to come up here, I'll use my cursed sword Muramasa to kill everyone here, one by one!"

"whee."

Nightstar is adept at provoking evil spirits, possessing a natural talent for it.

He looked at the long sword in Shuten-dōji's hand with a mocking expression in his eyes.

"Trying to brag here, huh? If your broken sword is Muramasa, then this one at my waist is Dojigiri Yasutsuna."

"Oh right, which boy did Doujigiri Yasutsuna cut? I forgot, can you remind me?"

Knowing Yosei's style, Yotsuya Miko added in a very cooperative manner.

"That's Shuten-dōji, the one with the red face."

"Oh, I see."

Ye Xing drew out his words, making them sound sarcastic, and looked at Shuten-dōji's bright red face, which was turning black with anger, and smiled.

"Get impatient, get impatient! Someone's getting a fever! Clown Boy!"

"You guy..."

Shuten-dōji was definitely getting desperate.

Although it is not the real Shuten-dōji, from its own perspective, it is the real Shuten-dōji.

Shuten-dōji considered the story of Dōjigiri Yasutsuna the greatest humiliation of his life.

Just like the tall woman that Ye Xing encountered when she first entered the Otherworld.

Under such humiliation, Shuten-dōji, whose personality was already volatile and easily angered, lost his mind.

"You can only enjoy the pleasure of words for a short time."

"Let me tell you, the thousands of evil spirits I subdued while hiding in Kyoto City are all currently inside this Kyoto Tower."

Shuten-dōji grinned maliciously as he sliced ​​the young mother's neck with his blade, then stuck out his tongue and licked the blood flowing from her wound, looking quite pleased with himself.

"Now tell me, how are you going to save all these weak humans from being surrounded by me, Prajna, and thousands of powerful evil spirits? Hmm? Hero 'Masked'?"

"Hilarious, do they really think I'm a hero?"

The smile in Ye Xing's eyes gradually disappeared, and he spoke in a flat tone.

"Is all the power here? Very good, I am satisfied."

"Remember, you are the challengers."

"Domain expansion..."

The hem of Ye Xing's black coat burned like raging flames as she murmured.

"The gods purify and vanquish the demons."

The instant they sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy, both Shuten-dōji and Hannya's expressions changed, and without hesitation, they pulled away the creature they had been holding in their arms...

Wait a moment.

Shuten-dōji and Hannya glanced at their arms and discovered that the humans they had been holding hostage had inexplicably disappeared.

It wasn't just the little girl and her mother.

Even the more than two hundred hostages who were originally in the empty hall have disappeared without a trace.

"This this..."

Shuten-dōji and Hannya's expressions changed, both unable to comprehend what had happened.

Why did those humans who were just here suddenly disappear in an instant?

What exactly happened?

"Can't understand?"

Looking at the bewildered Shuten-dōji and Hannya, as well as the hundreds of evil spirits surrounding the hall, Yexing spoke calmly.

"This is my domain. Everything that is not of this world is trapped within it, including my companions."

"The scope is this Kyoto Tower."

"It's easy to escape from here; you have two choices."

"Hide away, hoping I won't be able to find you before my strength runs out."

"Or, try killing me."

"certainly..."

Ye Xing slowly approached Hannya and Shuten-dōji, wisps of dark spiritual energy, like flames, emanating from his pure black mask.

"You only have the right to make choices. From the moment I returned to the mortal world, your fate has already been sealed."

Yotsuya Miko, Futaba Rio, and Sakurajima Mai, upon hearing Yohoshi's words and seeing Hannya and Shuten-dōji instinctively backing away as he approached, all had only one thought in their minds.

came back.

They're all back.

Having gone through several battles without Night Star, they had almost forgotten what it felt like to exorcise demons together.

It's that familiar feeling again.

Only after retreating several meters did Shuten-dōji realize...

He actually stepped down!?

Since being born in the Otherworld, I have never lost...

They actually retreated in front of mere humans?

Shuten-dōji knew some of Yoru's abilities and even sent his evil spirits to observe Yoru's battle from the shadows.

It knew that the other party was very strong, the strongest exorcist in Kyoto City.

Only now did Shuten-dōji finally feel the suffocating sense of danger and oppression that came with becoming the other party's target.

"kill him!"

Watching Shuten-dōji give orders to the surrounding evil spirits and then flee in panic towards the stairwell with Hannya, Yoru-sei shook his head and said with a hint of regret.

"It seems you've made your choice, but the outcome won't change because of it."

Seeing this scene, both Rio Futaba and Miko Yotsuya felt a mix of emotions.

They finally realized where they, as exorcists, fell short of Nightstar.

Rationally speaking, Hannya and Shuten-dōji should have joined the hundreds of evil spirits in the siege. Yexing must have consumed a lot of spiritual power by forcibly tearing open a gap in the inner world with his true soul form.

Furthermore, he himself stated that as long as he is killed, or his power is exhausted, this domain called "God Purification and Demon Extermination" will be dispelled.

Don't Hannya and Shuten-dōji understand this?

Although they possess the various wicked natures of evil spirits, they are clearly not that stupid.

There was no need to try to kill Yoru, Yotsuya Miko knew how much spiritual power was required to maintain such a domain.

As long as Hannya and Shuten-dōji buy time, the scales of victory will slowly tip.

but.......

Knowing what to do and daring to do it are two different things.

Even though they had never fought, it was clear that Hannya and Shuten-dōji...

Fear of the night stars.

This is indeed a unique skill of theirs.
