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

In those brief two seconds, it felt as if a star was exploding in his brain.

responsible?

What responsibilities?

What should we call Yotsuya Miko after the child is born?

Ye Xing even began to wonder if she had lost her memory and if this was true.

He only found out later when Yotsuya Miko told him.

It turns out that being responsible doesn't mean that at all.

Instead, Yotsuya Touko kept asking Miko to invite him to her house for dinner. When Yotsuya Miko said that she was going out with Yui Yuigahama this afternoon, Yotsuya Touko immediately told her to invite both of her classmates to her house.

It's clear that Zi is about to reach his limit.

Yui Yuigahama was very happy. She never expected that she would make a good friend like Miko as soon as she entered high school, someone she could visit at her house.

Ultimately, it turned into this situation, which resembled a victory celebration.

"Night Star Lord, come, try the taste first."

Touko Yotsuya's friendly voice pulled Yohoshi back from her thoughts.

He smiled politely at the other person, and under their expectant gaze, picked up a steaming piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

Upon entering, Ye Xing was stunned.

"What the hell?"

His taste buds were ignited at that moment.

Ye Xing looked at the seemingly ordinary plate of bitter melon stir-fried with pork in front of him and muttered to himself with a complicated expression.

"Really, you can't judge a book by its cover."

Touko Yotsuya tilted her head, looking puzzled.

"What's wrong, Lord Night Star? Is it not tasty?"

"No, no, no, describing it simply as not tasting good is far too superficial."

Ye Xing put down his chopsticks, looking melancholy.

"I just don't understand, this looks like bitter melon stir-fried with meat."

"It smells like bitter melon stir-fried with pork."

"But I just can't figure out how this bitter melon stir-fried with pork can taste like curry?"

Touko Yotsuya looked on with a skeptical expression: "Really?"

She picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of meat, put it in her mouth, and after a few seconds of stunned silence, exclaimed in shock.

"Wow, really, it doesn't taste bitter at all, it's just like curry."

Ye Xing sighed softly.

Without even asking, he knew whose creation this dish was.

"Hey, how is it? How's my stir-fried bitter melon with pork?"

Yui Yuigahama ran over with a beaming smile, her pretty face filled with undisguised anticipation.

"Delicious, so delicious."

Ye Xing's acting was flawless. In an instant, he picked up a slice of meat with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, saying with lingering satisfaction.

"It's so delicious! Can I make a request? Can I take some home and eat it again tonight?"

"You like it that much? It seems my innovative formula does have some effect after all."

Yui Yuigahama's cheeks flushed slightly with shyness. She brushed a strand of light pink hair behind her ear and spoke in a voice barely audible.

"It won't taste good if it gets cold. If you want some, I can make it for you anytime."

"No need, I'll take this one. Quick, Touko-nee, pack it up for me, don't let the soul of this dish be lost!"

"it is good!"

Yotsuya Touko understood immediately and, with extremely swift movements, packed the famous bitter melon stir-fried with pork into a takeout box, even wiping away the oil droplets on the plate.

She really admired Ye Xing's reaction speed.

This is the only way to save Yui Yuigahama's face.

"Since you like it, I'll make another dish."

Upon hearing Yui Yuigahama's smiling words, Touko Yotsuya immediately pulled her down to sit, and said righteously.

"Little Jieyi, you are a guest. It's enough to help cook one dish. If I cook more, wouldn't it be impolite of me as your aunt? You sit here and chat with Ye Xingjun. Jianzi and I will be fine."

Goodness, Touko Yotsuya dares not let Yui Yuigahama cook anymore.

Even stir-fried bitter melon with pork can be made to taste like curry.

If this continues, nuclear fusion might even occur in the kitchen pot.

When Toru Yotsuya returned to the kitchen, Yui Yuigahama looked at Yohoshi, who was yawning and looking like she hadn't woken up yet, and suddenly felt a little awkward and at a loss.

She only realized it now.

It seems to be the first time I've been alone with someone without my daughter around.

"Yuihama-san/Yohoshi-san..."

The two spoke in unison, then paused for a moment before speaking again at the same time.

"You go first..."

Stay awkward.

After a while, Yui Yuigahama tentatively whispered.

"Ye Xing, can I ask you a question?"

"You also want to awaken the materialization of your soul?"

Yui Yuigahama paused for a moment upon hearing this, and then asked in surprise.

"Hey, how did you know?"

Ye Xing waved his hand dismissively, speaking in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Which high school student wouldn't want to have the ability to protect Kyoto City from the shadows? Especially since you have examples like me and Miko by your side."

At this point, Ye Xing suddenly changed the subject.

"But the answer is, I can't help you."

"Eh..."

Upon hearing this reply, Yui Yuigahama's eyes dimmed slightly.

really.

Am I different from Miko and Yoshiki? Am I just an ordinary, ordinary person...?

"Don't misunderstand me, I don't mean that you can't awaken the ability to materialize your soul."

Yui Yuigahama's eyes brightened again, and her voice couldn't help but reveal excitement.

"Can I awaken my abilities too?"

"of course."

Ye Xing nodded slightly and said calmly.

"Based on Rio Futaba's analysis and my own speculation, everyone has the potential to awaken the ability to materialize their soul, but the way they awaken it is different."

"In the real world, you are just an ordinary person who has no power and cannot even see evil spirits and ghosts."

"But according to current intelligence, in the underworld, regardless of whether one is a psychic or not, one can 'recognize' the existence of evil spirits and ghosts."

Yui Yuigahama's eyes showed a thoughtful look as she murmured.

"You mean... if it were in the Otherworld, I might awaken my abilities?"

"That's possible, but... I don't recommend it."

Ye Xing shook his head and said in an extremely calm tone.

"You've probably heard from Miko about the difficulty of awakening the soul to a tangible form. It's very difficult to face your own heart and have the courage to confront the supernatural."

"not to mention..."

Yosei looked directly into Yui Yuigahama's eyes, and for the first time, she realized that he could be so serious.

Are you truly ready to confront the truth of this world?

Faced with Yoru's question, Yui Yuigahama opened her lips as if to answer, but paused before she could utter a word.

"Night Star... he's so handsome."

Such thoughts involuntarily surfaced in Yui Yuigahama's mind.

Seeing the slight blush on the other person's cheeks and the misty tears in their eyes, Ye Xing was completely at a loss.

Girl, what's wrong with you?

I have something important to tell you.

Did I catch it from spending too much time with Miko Yotsuya?

Why do people always seem to get all love-struck at times like this?

I'm not a succubus, let's have a normal conversation, okay?

"Hey, snap out of it."

Upon hearing Yoru's words, Yui belatedly realized what was happening, her pretty face instantly turning bright red, and steam practically rising from her head.

It's so embarrassing. It's really so embarrassing.

"Um... um, I understand what you mean."

Yui Yuigahama suppressed her embarrassment and tried her best to remain calm, speaking in a low voice as if nothing had happened.
