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

Noticing the dimming look in Yotsuya Miko's eyes, Yohoshi smiled.

"If you want to have the ability to fight evil spirits, I have a way."

"Huh, really!?"

Yotsuya Miko was startled, but clearly didn't quite believe Yohoshi's explanation.

After she was able to see evil spirits and ghosts, she tried many methods and visited many supposedly famous psychics, buying countless amulets, bracelets, prayer beads and the like.

The result was that it did nothing but make her, who already didn't have much pocket money, even poorer.

Now Ye Xing actually says that he can give him the ability to fight evil spirits?

It's really hard to believe that Yotsuya Miko is a real person.

Seeing her skeptical look, Ye Xing yawned and explained lazily.

"First, let me ask you a question: aside from the special influence of doors, under what circumstances can an evil spirit directly harm a human?"

Yotsuya Miko replied cautiously.

"Is it... knowing that humans can see them?"

"Yes."

Ye Xing nodded, then asked again.

"You saw it this morning, the scene of me fighting the evil spirit."

Yotsuya Miko thought to herself, "Can that even be considered a battle?"

Would it be more appropriate to call it one-sided abuse?

Of course, she couldn't voice her inner complaints; she simply nodded obediently.

"So, according to this logic, in a situation where both sides can see it, is it only an evil spirit that can unilaterally harm humans?"

Yotsuya Miko paused for a moment, then murmured.

"Could it be that?"

Night Star spoke nonchalantly.

"In other words."

"Do you think that this morning, what truly harmed the evil spirit was the peach wood dagger and the silver nail, or me, who was wielding the weapon?"

010 The Truth About Fighting Evil Spirits

While Miko Yotsuya isn't exceptionally bright, she's not so dull as to be on par with a certain famous case of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

After a moment's thought, she understood what Ye Xing meant.

"You mean, given this premise of seeing, not only can evil spirits break free from the restriction against harming humans, but humans can also harm evil spirits?"

Ye Xing nodded slightly: "I can't say for sure that it's correct, but it's probably true."

As a time traveler, Ye Xing could roughly deduce this from the plot development of the anime "The Yin-Yang Eyes See Child".

In the original storyline, Miko Yotsuya encountered other psychics.

One of the old women made bracelets that even had the effect of making weaker evil spirits retreat and hide.

of course.

That kind of thing is a joke in the face of a truly powerful evil spirit.

Ye Xing's personal experience provided strong evidence to support his argument.

When he encountered Miko this morning, the words he uttered to the evil spirits, "I can see you," were not meant to show off.

Of course, there's also the possibility that it's due to a case of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

Most importantly, Night Star discovered that if the evil spirit didn't know he could "see," he couldn't do any harm to it; all his attacks would simply pass right through it.

so.

The reason why so many evil spirits appear around Miko Yotsuya is likely because she, as a powerful spiritual being, makes even evil spirits, who lack the ability to think and only act on instinct, feel threatened like natural enemies.

"Then how can I gain the ability to fight against evil spirits?"

A hopeful light shone in Yotsuya Miko's eyes. Her usually calm and adorable face, which never showed her emotions, was unusually excited.

To be honest, she was fed up with the idea of ​​having to pretend to be calm when facing evil spirits, secretly wiping away tears afterwards, and being so scared that her legs felt weak.

Let's talk about this tomorrow.

Ye Xing waved his hand.

"I have things to do today, I'll be free after school tomorrow."

"Something wrong? Are you going to eliminate evil spirits?"

"No, I'm going to the gym."

"what?"

Seeing Yotsuya Miko's puzzled look, Yohoshi explained quite naturally.

"Fighting evil spirits requires a certain level of physical fitness. Although I gain a little bit of physical enhancement every time I devour an evil spirit, maintaining a highly focused state of mind during exercise is essential to avoid any unexpected situations during the battle."

At this point, Yohoshi patted Yotsuya Miko on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"Young lady, you still have a long way to go before becoming a professional exorcist. Learn more from your senior, Ye."

Yotsuya Miko sighed and shook her head helplessly.

Her desire to criticize had been gradually extinguished by Ye Xing's continuous stream of outrageous remarks.

"In that case, I'll head home now."

Ye Xing nodded and asked a question.

"Want me to give you a ride?"

"No need, my home is only two bus stops away, it's a quick bus ride. Don't you have things to do? There's no need for that."

"I was just being polite; I didn't really intend to give it to you."

"......"

After Yotsuya Miko turned and left with a speechless expression, Yohoshi watched her back as it gradually disappeared from his sight. The frivolous and lazy smile on her face vanished, replaced by a thoughtful expression.

"Sure enough, she can see the door, but she can't see this."

Night Star muttered something to himself, then walked in another direction.

Behind him, a giant hand, pale and sickly, with sharp black nails and the size of an average family living room, floated in the air and silently followed him away.

.......

Meanwhile, at a gym near Zongwu High School.

Wearing a long tracksuit, Hiratsuka Shizuka sat in the rest area drinking a beverage, staring listlessly at Kirisu Mafuyu, who was sweating profusely on the treadmill in front of her, and shook her head in complaint.

"I'm telling you, isn't it a bit too much of you to insist on exercising every day?"

Even after running for nearly twenty minutes, Kirisu Mafuyu's breathing remained even, and she replied in her usual calm tone.

"As an educator, one must maintain ample physical strength, otherwise one will be unable to fulfill the responsibility of guiding students."

"I think you're a bit obsessed."

Hiratsuka Shizuka muttered something under her breath, lazily complaining as she lay on the table.

"Sigh, it's all your fault for dragging me to exercise every day, that's why I don't have time to date."

"Don't blame others. With your looks, you would have been in a relationship long ago if you wanted to. It's obvious that you don't want to be in a relationship, so don't blame me."

"Tch, it's all your fault."

Kirisu Mafuyu shook her head, pressed the stop button on the treadmill, wiped the sweat from her forehead with a towel, and sat down opposite Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"So, how was your first day leading the new class?"

"Oh, forget it."

Hiratsuka Shizuka rested her chin on her hand, looking utterly dejected.

"I really envy you. Your class consists of ordinary students, so you only need to worry about the overall grades. Unlike me, I'm always on edge."

Kirisu Mafuyu picked up her cup, took a sip of water, and then spoke slowly.

"You mean those two students with special talents? Well, there's nothing I can do about it. After all, they are outstanding talents handpicked by the school. To be honest, although I'm not their homeroom teacher, I also want to guide them onto a path where they can give full play to their talents."

"It's easy for you to say that when you're not in the situation."

Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed, "Touma-kun is alright, she just sleeps through class and hasn't done anything out of line, but that Yohoshi..."

She told Kirisu Mafuyu everything that had happened that morning, including all the rumors circulating about Yohoshi at school.

After listening, the latter nodded noncommittally and said indifferently.

"Well... after all, it's during junior high school, and the student has a history of assault, so it's normal that you find it difficult to handle."

"Right, right? Let me tell you, if it weren't for the school..."

Just as Hiratsuka Shizuka was speaking, she suddenly heard shouts coming from the equipment area not far away, and she couldn't help but frown slightly.

"What's going on? Is it really necessary to make so much noise when you're just working out?"

Kirisu Mafuyu looked up, a hint of surprise in her eyes, and whispered to Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"Huh? Isn't that Yohoshi-kun?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then quickly turned her head and found that it was indeed as Kirisu Mafuyu had said.

Wearing a black tracksuit, Ye Xing was surrounded by several burly men, and the two sides looked tense, as if they were about to clash.

Without the slightest hesitation, Hiratsuka Shizuka immediately stood up and walked over quickly.

She will not discuss her personal opinion about Ye Xing, the student.

As a teacher, even if I'm not at Zongwu High School, it's really unacceptable to see a student in trouble and not help them.

"Hey you guys, stop right there!"
