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

"Sigh, I'm speechless."

Rio Futaba shook her head, then her expression turned complicated as she muttered to herself.

"But I never expected to actually see the legendary great monster with my own eyes today. It's like a dream."

"How about I pinch your butt to make sure you're not dreaming?"

"Absolutely not! Besides, isn't it all about pinching the cheeks? Who pinches where?"

"What are you saying? What if you pinch your face and ruin it? You won't be able to tell from that spot."

"Xinei!"

Hearing their conversation, Yui Yuigahama and Miko Yotsuya were both curious and couldn't help but lean forward to ask.

"Futaba, what exactly is the great youkai you're referring to?"

Rio Futaba then remembered that she was the only one who had seen the name written on the scroll by the kimono-clad ghost.

She didn't answer the two women's questions directly. Instead, she first looked at Ye Xing with a questioning gaze. Only after seeing Ye Xing nod nonchalantly did she reply.

"You should have heard of the name of that kimono-clad female ghost."

"Hmm? We've all heard of that?"

"Yes."

Rio Futaba spoke with a solemn expression, enunciating each word clearly.

"She is the legendary great demon, Tamamo-no-Mae."

068 A true exorcist should indulge in extravagant spending.

"Tamamo-mae!?"

Not to mention Yotsuya Miko, who had studied many books of strange tales.

Even Yui Yuigahama knows the name Tamamo-no-Mae all too well.

This is a great monster that everyone in the Sakura Province knows!

According to legend, Tamamo-no-Mae is the incarnation of a nine-tailed fox, possessing astonishing talent and beauty.

There are many versions of the story, each with its own differences.

But there's only one most important point.

That was Tamamo-no-Mae's power, which was terrifying.

Even ancient armies were nothing more than helpless puppets before her.

If it weren't for the help of several great Onmyoji, or so-called spiritual beings, Tamamo-no-Mae would not have been defeated.

What they had just seen was actually this legendary great monster?

This is on a completely different level from ordinary evil spirits and ghosts!

While Yotsuya Miko and Yuigahama Yui were incredibly shocked to hear the name Tamamo-no-Mae, the thoughtful Futaba Rio was recalling Tamamo-no-Mae's strange reaction after Yohoshi wrote down her name.

A powerful demon like Tamamo-no-Mae should have seen a lot.

How could a mere name scare her like that?

Is it because Tamamo-no-Mae's strength isn't as formidable as portrayed in legends, and is it simply an exaggerated fabrication, or...?

Is Night Star's so-called other "name" terrifying?

Rio Futaba couldn't figure out the answer, since she had no clues.

Besides, she wasn't really that curious.

Everyone has their own secrets.

Just like when she was enrolled in Soubu High School for the first week, feeling lost and out of place in front of her classmates, and when the classroom during breaks and lunch breaks had become a torment that made her restless, Yoru extended an invitation to her to join the Superpower Club.

It’s a bit sad to say.

That day, in the open space where the club was recruiting members, in just a few minutes, Rio Futaba and Yohoshi talked more than all the other students in her class combined.

Rio Futaba is actually quite insecure deep down.

She felt that she wasn't pretty enough, her personality wasn't exactly likable, and she had a body that she herself loathed.

If at that time, I hadn't been drawn in by the words "quantum mechanics" and mustered all my courage to inquire about the Superquant Society.

If I hadn't met Jianzi and Yexing, what kind of life would I be living now?

Rio Futaba didn't care at all about having another name.

She only trusted her own judgment about Ye Xing.

Yui Yuigahama and Miko Yotsuya share the same idea.

"Oh dear, we're back a bit early."

Ye Xing stood up, stretched, and laughed.

"In that case, why don't we go shopping?"

"shop?"

Rio Futaba and Yui Yuigahama looked completely bewildered.

"correct."

Ye Xing nodded solemnly.

"Team building activities are very important for strengthening the bonds between team members!"

"real or fake?"

Rio Futaba looked on with a skeptical expression, and was about to say something when she heard Yui Yuigahama excitedly say something.

"Great! Going out with friends, that's the high school life I want!"

Although Yotsuya Miko wasn't as excited, she nodded in agreement.

"Hmm... I really should buy a couple of sets of sportswear; my old ones are all worn out."

Miko Yotsuya isn't the kind of energetic girl who loves sports; she doesn't own many sportswear outfits.

But when you go to perform an exorcism, you can't exactly wear a school uniform and a short skirt, can you?

Putting aside the issue of potential exposure, it's also inconvenient to move around in. Exorcism is something that can't be taken lightly.

After her clothes wore out, Miko Yotsuya couldn't tell her mother that she wanted to buy two new outfits.

After all, how would she explain it if her mother asked why her sportswear broke so quickly?

Fortunately, Jianzi had some savings.

The 60,000 yen that Yoru gave her last time was directly handed over to Yui for safekeeping by Yui.

So now......

Spend! Spend big!

You've been exorcising demons and protecting Kyoto every day, can't you even enjoy yourself a little?

Seeing that both Yotsuya Miko and Yui Yuigahama had agreed, Futaba Rio was also tempted.

"Okay, let's do it together."

Anyway, no one will be waiting for me when I get home.

Even the brilliant-minded Rio Futaba felt somewhat exhausted after receiving so much information in such a short time.

It's time to relax.

"I hesitate, then let's go."

.......

Meanwhile, within the Inner World.

Wearing a kimono, Tamamo-no-Mae sat inside a carriage covered with a white cloth, with a green candle flickering in front of her.

She took out the scroll from her bosom, slowly unfurled it, and her slender, white fingers touched the line of black characters written with a brush next to the words "Night Star".

"This guy's real name..."

What came into Tamamo-no-Mae's view was a name that filled her with dread and fear.

The end of eight million.

If Yui Yuigahama or Rio Futaba saw these words, they probably wouldn't react much; they would just find it incomprehensible.

However, if Yotsuya Miko were to see these words, her reaction would be the same as Tamamo-no-Mae's.

Eight million is not just a simple number.

Legend has it that the Cherry Blossom Province is home to eight million gods, but whether this is an exaggeration or a fact is unclear.

In short, the number eight million has become synonymous with the spirits of the Cherry Blossom Province in modern times.

The definition of so-called gods in the Sakura Province is different from that in Kyushu, and it also includes yokai like Tamamo-no-Mae.

The meaning of "the end of eight million" is very simple.

Translated, it means the one who ends all gods and evil spirits.

Just looking at those six words sent chills down Tamamo-no-Mae's spine.

The name on the contract must be real; otherwise, the contract will not be valid.

Who exactly is that guy?

Wait... is Ye Xing really human?

How could a mere human being have such a real name?

At this moment, Tamamo-no-Mae was extremely grateful that she had chosen to trade with the other party and adopted a very gentle attitude instead of a tough and condescending one.

Otherwise...

Perhaps today, Night Star will be her end.
