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

"It's not about trying."

Tamamo-no-Mae pressed down on the shoulders of the man in eight feet, looked directly into his eyes, and said, word by word.

"It's absolutely necessary. Do you really want to watch your master die?!"

"I...I understand!"

"very good."

Seeing that Lord Yasakani's eyes gradually hardened, Onimaru Kunitsuna said no more. After all, as a sword herself, she couldn't even unleash the Domain skill. Apart from reinforcing the other party's mind, she couldn't offer any more effective help.

"Owner..."

Onimaru Kunitsuna gazed at Yoruichiro, who was fighting the Weather God in the distance, and the expression in his eyes became somewhat complicated.

She knew that her master was extremely cautious when it came to exorcism.

While it's possible for Lord Yasakani to master the expansion of his domain, it's impossible for Yoru to place all his hopes for this battle on him.

There must be other tricks up their sleeve.

What is it?

Onimaru Kunitsuna didn't know, and couldn't guess.

After all, she was just a knife.

.........

Meanwhile, in the office of the Director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau and Head of the Special Operations Unit at the Kyoto City Police Department.

"That's strange."

After sitting down, Yagami Souichirou took out a few tissues and wiped the wet parts of his suit. Listening to the sound of the heavy rain hitting the ground outside the window, he sighed helplessly and muttered to himself.

"This damn weather, it changes so suddenly, it's unbelievable."

The first thing Yagami Souichirou did after sitting down was to turn on the computer in front of him.

Just as he was about to start working, a notification popped up in the lower right corner of his computer screen that a USB drive had been inserted.

"Ok?"

Soichiro Yagami frowned. He remembered clearly that the USB drive was not on his computer before he left work yesterday.

hacker?

It should not be.

What kind of low-level hacker would be exposed just by plugging in a USB drive and getting detected by a computer notification?

That would be incredibly stupid.

Furthermore, to insert a USB drive into one's computer, one would either be an internal member of the Metropolitan Police Department, or...

Thinking of this, Soichiro Yagami's heart sank, and he immediately dragged the mouse to open the contents of the USB drive.

There is only one video file inside.

Double-click to start playing the video.

Just as Yagami Soichiro had predicted.

Before him appeared that familiar black mask, and in his ear rang the voice of "Masked" with a laugh.

"Chief Yagami, hello."

"By the time you see this video, I should already be fighting against the gods."

Soichiro Yagami was completely dumbfounded by this opening line.

No?

God?

What is "mask" trying to say? Is it some kind of metaphor?

But then I thought, if evil spirits exist in this world, then perhaps the gods in legends also...?

Soichiro Yagami was stunned.

Holy shit! ?

Are you serious?

Is slaying evil spirits no longer enough to satisfy you, kid?

You should pick a god to mess with?

The conversation in the video did not stop despite Soichiro Yagami's shock.

"If I'm not mistaken, Kyoto City is currently experiencing a once-in-a-century rainstorm."

Soichiro Yagami was taken aback again.

Goodness, the "mask" can even predict the weather?

This is much more accurate than the weather forecast.

"Chief Yagami, I need you to do something for me..."

........

On the other side, in the commercial street.

"no..."

Looking at Yotsuya Miko, Futaba Rio, Yuigahama Yui, Sakurajima Mai, and Yukinoshita Haruno in front of him, Oda Noto noticed that they all had very serious expressions on their faces, and couldn't help but show a bitter and helpless smile.

"You guys are asking me to tell you which shrine in Kyoto is the oldest so early in the morning, and it even has to do with the weather? I am an exorcist, that's true, but I don't know anything about this. It takes time to look up information, doesn't it?"

"no!"

Yui Yuigahama, the ambassador of the Superpower Society who is usually gentle, sweet, and very polite, and whom Oda Noto has a very good impression of, is now very anxious, and her words have even become harsh.

"We have to do it as soon as possible, preferably now, or it will be too late!"

"Even if you say so..."

Just as Oda Noto looked troubled and didn't know what to do, his godmother's voice came from the room behind the counter.

"Hmph, useless old man."

The godmother lifted the curtain and slowly walked out, holding a map of Kyoto City in her hand.

She looked at Yui Yuigahama and the others in front of her and slowly began to speak.

"It's a very important thing, isn't it?"

"Yes, it's very important!"

"Well."

The godmother unfolded the map in her hand and placed it on the counter. After taking a few deep breaths, she slowly pointed her aged, wrinkled fingers to the location of one of the streets.

"It's roughly this area. With your abilities, once you get here, you should be able to detect the traces left by spiritual energy."

"Thank you, mother-in-law!"

After thanking them, Yui and the others hurried away, their steps unwavering even in the pouring rain.

As the godmother watched their retreating figures, a smile still appeared on her slightly tired face, despite the fact that she had exhausted a lot of spiritual energy from the divination.

"Lao Deng."

"how?"

"It's great to be young."

.........

Fifteen minutes later, inside Kyoto Television Station.

"Thank you for your help, Director."

A middle-aged man in a suit, upon hearing Yagami Soichiro's words and seeing that he was about to bow to him, quickly stepped forward, put his arm around Yagami Soichiro's shoulder, and smiled kindly.

"Chief Yagami, you flatter us. You're actually helping us out. The video of 'Masked' giving a public speech will definitely become a hot news topic."

Soichiro Yagami forced a smile.

"Well... but the content of this video might seem a bit bizarre to you, and I can't guarantee its authenticity..."

"Oh, don't worry about it."

The director of Kyoto Television waved his hand and smiled.

"As media, we are only responsible for conveying the content of 'Mask's' speech to the public with an absolutely objective attitude, neither supporting nor opposing it. After all, he is a public figure, and any of his actions can become news. As for the truthfulness of the content? That is a matter for the public to judge for themselves, and it has nothing to do with us."

"Hmm...that's true..."

Soichiro Yagami dislikes dealing with the media; after all, as the head of the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Bureau, he has seen far too many unscrupulous reporters.

Some deliberately set traps with questions, others put pressure on investigators when the investigation hit a bottleneck, and still others even secretly take photos of the scene and upload them to the internet.

Of course, mainstream media outlets like Kyoto Television wouldn't do something so despicable.

During the period when Kyoto's crime rate soared, which was also the time when Soichiro Yagami, as the head of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, was under the most pressure, Kyoto Television fulfilled its media responsibility and tried its best to calm the emotions of the citizens.

And this time...

We need Kyoto TV's help again.

Five minutes later.

"Next, we have an urgent news briefing."

Due to the sudden downpour and transportation disruptions, almost all residents of Kyoto City were still staying at home.

“We received an anonymous package, and after inspection, we confirmed that it contained a video recorded by someone suspected to be ‘Masked’.”

Kyoto TV's statement was watertight.

Why is the video of "Masked" speaking in Yagami Soichiro's hands, and why did Yagami hand it over to him?

The TV station director wasn't stupid either; he could already guess that Director Yagami had some unknown connection with "Masked".

But what's the point of saying it?
