I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

"That……"

After a moment of deep thought, Jiu Jiuneng came up with a solution.

"Just expand the scope."

Don't limit your focus to Tokyo, but broaden your perspective to the whole of Japan. Since cities are attacked by god-killers, then hunt and kill humans in the mountains, forests, rivers, and lakes.

"It can also prevent myself from being discovered by Asura."

Kujiro immediately changed his location, abandoning his plan to complete the sacrifice in Tokyo.

As for the demons and monsters released in Tokyo before...

They're all consumables anyway.

……

In the Hiromachi family's studio, various canvases, brushes, and paints are arranged in a pleasing and colorful manner, creating a miniature of nature.

In this temple of art, a large area is left empty, which seems particularly abrupt.

There, drum kits, guitars, basses, violins, and other musical instruments were laid out, lying there quietly, as if waiting for something.

Kurata Mashiro and Futaba Tsukushi arrived late.

"Sorry, something happened on the way."

"I kept you waiting."

As soon as she entered the studio, she heard cheerful and enthusiastic news.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm always the one who's late, it's time for me to wait!"

Touko Kiritani smiled warmly, holding up her smartphone, which was covered in cute decorative stickers, and small, sparkling earrings that swayed gently in the sunlight.

Her golden curls shimmered warmly in the sunlight, casually draped over her shoulders. The curls gently brushed against her cheeks, outlining her fresh and lovely features. Her brown, slanted eyes were like deep lakes, exuding a touch of playfulness and fearlessness.

"Now that everyone is here, let's begin."

Upon hearing these words, Kurata Mashiro suddenly felt a strange sense of unreality.

Even though something terrible just happened, I'm still living in the everyday life of youth.

But thinking about it again, I've already experienced the destruction of the world, and I haven't changed at all, have I?

Normal mind.

Keep a calm mind!

With her neat short black hair and tall figure, Rui Hachishio said in a flat tone, "Touko is also twenty minutes late."

"Haha~"

Touko Kiritani touched her golden curly hair, trying to fool everyone.

Rui Hachishio said, "Even if it's something that needs to be done by the student council, she can still be an hour late."

"It's just being late. The universe is so vast, this little thing is utterly insignificant!"

Hearing Kiritani Toruko's words, Futaba Tsukushi said speechlessly, "How can you say something like that..."

Rui Yashio immediately looked at Tsukushi Futaba and asked, "Did you encounter something on the way?"

“Well…” Futaba Tsukushi hesitated before speaking, “It sounds like an excuse we made up, but we encountered a yokai on the way…”

She couldn't help but observe the three women's reactions.

The three of them didn't seem to have changed much.

Then, Futaba Tsukushi continued, "I was almost bound by spider silk, but I was saved by someone."

Yashio Rui: "..."

Even she, a prophetic critical striker, was somewhat speechless.

Although it sounds like a hastily made-up excuse for being late, it's so outrageous that it almost seems real.

Toruko Kiritani thought for a moment, then suddenly stood up excitedly and said, "Could it be a legendary demon?"

"ghost?"

Everyone looked at her at the same time.

Touko Kiritani then used her phone to show the forum, saying, "This is a major trend right now. Monsters emerge from the cracks of the city, and faceless demons use drumsticks and sound attacks to defeat them and save the victims."

“Look, there are similar rumors everywhere.”

"I heard there are two 'ghosts', one purple and one blue!"

The four of them gathered around and looked at the comments above. They were a mix of truth and falsehood, but they were generating a lot of buzz.

Touko Kiritani said with a smile, "This is the age of music. Warriors who use sound as a weapon to slay demons will definitely become very popular!"

Five girls sat together, discussing rumors about "ghosts".

Sunlight streamed through the window, bathing them in warmth and adding a touch of color to this tranquil moment.

Hiromachi Nanami gently smoothed the strands of hair that fell beside her ears. The light orange-pink color, illuminated by the light, resembled the morning glow, both soft and full of vitality. Her twin ponytails swayed gently in the breeze.

Its face is like a finely sculpted work of art, with a small nose and cat lips complementing each other perfectly, creating an appearance that evokes tenderness.

Those clear pink eyes seemed to see into people's hearts, sparkling with intelligence and wit, as if they held countless little secrets, waiting for those with a discerning eye to discover them.

"Drumming... I feel like I've heard that sound somewhere before..."

Hiromachi Nanami muttered to himself, his brows furrowed, lost in thought.

Suddenly, a glint of inspiration flashed in her eyes, "Mystic Maiden War Drum!"

Upon hearing this, the women all cast questioning glances at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

"Um... haha..."

Hiromachi Nanami tried to mask her inner turmoil with laughter.

But at that moment, Kurata Mashiro's surprised voice broke the awkward silence.

"Has Hiromachi ever joined a spiritual network?"

"Hmm, Mashiro too..."

Hiromachi Nanami hesitated slightly as she turned to look at Kurata Mashiro. Their eyes met in the air, as if they were having a silent exchange.

Sunlight filtered through their gaps, casting dappled shadows on the floor and adding a touch of dreaminess and mystery to the studio.

"Tell me what you're talking about!"

As if drawn by an invisible force, Touko Kiritani immediately moved closer, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and longing.

After a series of hushed and mysterious conversations, Morfonica's five finally unveiled the mystery of the world's previous chaos and the thrilling battle between the narrator and the gods.

They also now transform into "ghosts" to fight against evil spirits and protect the peace and tranquility of the world.

"What is this? It's so cool!"

Upon hearing this, Touko Kiritani's eyes immediately lit up, as if she had been ignited, and she became excited.

She clenched her fists tightly, as if she could feel the passion of the battle.

Even the usually rational and calm Rui Yashio was shocked by this battle.

She opened her mouth slightly, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes: "Indeed very impressive, fighting against gods and protecting the entire world, a remarkable achievement."

His tone was full of respect and admiration, as if he were marveling at the heroism and greatness of the man who rang the bowstring.

Touko Kiritani couldn't help but say, "Shall we go find him!?"

"Why?" Hiromachi Nanami asked.

Kurata Mashiro also spoke up, "Isn't it inappropriate to disturb him?"

Touko Kiritani, however, said matter-of-factly, "Weren't Mashiro and Tsukushi saved by the hero? Besides, Mashiro and Nanami know him, so they should thank him properly."

Rui Hachishio said, "You just think it's amazing to see a hero who saves the world, right?"

"Anyway, let's go!" Touko completely ignored Rui Yashio's serious argument and insisted on going to thank Naruhira.

The five of them set off, half-heartedly.

……

The shrines surrounding Jizo-dori shopping street.

It's not far from Hanasakigawa Girls' Academy.

Aside from holidays, it is rarely visited.

Only the occasional breeze gently sways the wind chimes above the door.

Inside the shrine, a small shrine stands quietly at the back, its shadow casting the shadow of a massive bronze war drum.

This drum is extraordinary. It is made of bronze and has three crescent-shaped patterns engraved on its surface, like the brightest magatama in the night sky, except that the end of the magatama is cleverly forked.

Boom!Boom!

Clad in battle armor, with blue flames burning in his hands, Ganggui wielded a pair of enormous club-shaped sonic weapons called "Sonic Strike Staffs - Mighty Force," and with firm steps, he swung them at the giant bronze drum.

Each strike is like the purest call from nature; the clear and ethereal sound penetrates every corner of the ancient street, awakening the sleeping soul and making every inch of air tremble.

The notes leap and dance, echoing with power and courage.

The surrounding air seemed to be infected by this force, and began to swirl gently, causing fallen leaves and dust to dance together.

Beneath the distant torii gate, Naruhira was talking to a man. The man was burly and looked slightly tired. He was wearing a Western-style dress and was clearly a cross-dresser.

Tsuchimikado was a family of Onmyoji (yin-yang masters) in ancient Edo, and they enjoyed the trust of the Tokugawa family.

He is the head of the Tsuchimikado family.

His name isn't important; he's usually just called Tsuchimikado.

"Aren't you embarrassed to run around dressed like this?" Mingxian couldn't help but ask.

Although he possesses one of the most outstanding psychic abilities in the Kanto region, roughly comparable to the Great Knights of Europe in World 235, and also has the secret techniques inherited from the Tsuchimikado family, making him an exceptional psychic, his cross-dressing is truly questionable.

Mingxian didn't seem to have any objection to cross-dressing.
