In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

"Hey! Don't rush off!"

Seeing that Yoshikage Kira was about to leave, Ritsu Tainaka hurriedly stood up, leaned his upper body on the table, grabbed Yoshikage Kira's clothes, and kept giving Mio Akiyama a meaningful look.

Akiyama Mio felt somewhat helpless towards her friend, but still spoke softly:

"Kira-kun, we have something else to discuss with you. Can we talk for a bit?"

"Kira-kun, would you like a cup of black tea before you go?"

The young lady, who was making tea for others, smiled gently.

Kira Yoshikage, who had just gotten up, sat back down. Whether he drank tea or not didn't matter, and whether he ordered snacks or not didn't matter either. The main thing was that the beautiful girl's hands were really pleasing to the eye.

Perhaps because they practice musical instruments frequently, the girls' hands, though long and fair, are often calloused.

But in Yoshikage Kira's eyes, this is not entirely a flaw.

While soft, boneless hands are wonderful, they are also more prone to becoming weak and unable to wield power. On the contrary, hands that are regularly exercised can hold power for longer periods without needing to compensate with eloquence.

"Kira-kun, this is yours."

With a gentle smile, Kotobuki Tsumugi placed a cup of black tea in front of Kira Yoshikage.

"Thank you."

Kira Yoshikage shifted his gaze from the girl's fair hands, and quickly looked at Akiyama Mio's hands, where the girl was holding a cup of black tea and gently blowing on it.

Her ten slender fingers, like jade shoots, are red; her graceful movements, like wild geese, lightly touch the strings of a zither.

These hands are really nice!

If they could grasp power like they would a musical instrument...

"So, is there something you need?" Yoshikage Kira asked slowly, picking up his cup of black tea.

That's right.

Ritsu Tainaka's expression turned serious, and he pointed to the others one by one, "In the current Light Music Club, Mio is the keyboardist, Yui and Pochi are the guitarists, and I..."

Ritsu Tainaka pointed to himself last, a look of pride on his face, "I'm the drummer!"

Yoshikage Kira looked puzzled:

"so what?"

"so!"

Ritsu Tainaka rested her hands on the table and said matter-of-factly, "As a member of the light music club, Kira-kun should do something, right? Didn't I suggest before that Kira-kun play a harmonica solo...?"

Kira Yoshikage shifted his gaze from Tainaka Ritsu's hand to her face, his tone calm:

"I remember I already clearly refused, didn't I?"

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Ritsu Tainaka waved his hand, seemingly expecting this, and smiled slyly, "Since Kira-kun has clearly refused, of course I won't force you~! But we're all working hard, so Kira-kun should also do something within his ability. For example, write lyrics!"

Ritsu Tainaka stood with his hands on his hips, looking proud.

That's right!

That's her ultimate goal!

She had also heard of Lu Xun's "demolition effect"!

If Kira were asked to play a harmonica solo, he would definitely refuse.

However, it would be much easier if she used this as an excuse to ask Kira to write lyrics for the Light Music Club.

Finally, fearing that Yoshikage Kira might refuse, Ritsu Tainaka added:

"If the Light Music Club continues like this, it might face the crisis of being disbanded again! Kira-kun, you don't want to stop eating the lunch prepared by Kira-chan, do you?"

Yoshikage Kira pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly:

“I can try to write it, but I have no experience in this area.”

"It's okay, none of us have experience!"

Hirasawa Yuichi mumbled incoherently as he stuffed snacks into his mouth.

"Although I'm very unhappy, I can't refute it at all."

Tainaka Ritsu muttered to himself, "The Light Music Club is almost entirely made up of beginners."

She was a complete novice; she couldn't even read sheet music. She and Mio had only practiced for a while in junior high school, so they could barely use it, but they were definitely not very good at it.

Even the one who has practiced the longest, ?chan, is ultimately just an ordinary 15-year-old girl who has just entered high school, and her skill level is limited.

However, they never intended to become very famous, since the club was originally just for entertainment!

As for having Kira write the lyrics, she didn't expect him to write anything particularly good; she just wanted to give him a sense of participation. Otherwise, if everyone else in the Light Music Club was practicing hard, but he was the only one excluded, wouldn't Kira feel like they were ostracizing him?

and……

Ritsu Tainaka glanced at Mio, who was drinking black tea, and Pochi-chan, who was quietly eating snacks with her head down, and sighed inwardly.

Mio chose to play bass because she's shy, since guitarists usually stand at the front of the band and are too conspicuous. As for Bochi, it goes without saying; she even suspects that Bochi hides herself in cardboard boxes or something similar when going on stage.

Although Yoshikage Kira is a boy, his height gives people a strong sense of oppression and makes him look intimidating. So when they first met, she even mistook Kira-kun for some kind of delinquent. But who would have thought that he was actually the same type of person as Mio!

There are a total of six members, three of whom exhibit varying degrees of autistic tendencies.

The Light Music Club isn't some kind of shelter for autistic children, so why are so many of them like this?

Kira didn't want to attract attention, and after learning about his family situation from his teacher, he understood that he probably couldn't afford the cost of musical instruments, not even a guitar like the one Yui had at a drastically reduced price.

Therefore, the only work she could assign to Yoshikage Kira was writing lyrics and composing music.

Composing music requires a considerable level of skill, which Kira-kun probably couldn't handle, so he could only write lyrics.

Ritsu Tainaka didn't have high expectations for this, nor did he expect Yoshikage Kira to write a masterpiece; he simply hoped to get him involved.

What if you can't write good lyrics?

It's okay! Anyway, MIO and ? will write them together, so we can just pick the best one then, right?

Plans are in place!

Ritsu Tainaka gave a light snort, applauded his own cleverness, and slammed his right hand on the table:

"Yosh! It's decided! We're going to perform at the school festival!"

Akiyama Mio did not refute, but instead began to analyze seriously:

"Therefore, we need to develop a strict practice plan."

"The school festival at Shuchiin Academy is at the end of December. Although we still have plenty of time, we can't waste it. Before that, the five of us need to practice our ensemble as much as possible. Kira-kun, please try to write the lyrics before summer vacation."

"At least during the summer vacation, we must play a decent piece of music!"

"Huh? There's no need to be so serious..."

Ritsu Tainaka silently sat back down in her seat, muttering to herself, "Could she say that she just said it offhand?"

-----------------

After leaving the Light Music Club, Yoshikage Kira walked back to his classroom, and could clearly see the school gate through the corridor windows.

Several strangely shaped, distorted-faced 'people' stood at the school gate, and the school's security guards seemed to be completely incompetent, simply sitting in the guard booth without any intention of driving them away, instead letting them stretch their heads and peer into the school.

But no matter how hard they stretched their heads, their bodies could never get over the school gate.

More precisely, what prevented them from crossing the school gate was a 'barrier,' a barrier belonging to 'twilight.'

But simply stopping them is not enough; they must all be expelled, leaving none behind.

Otherwise, they would also target students leaving school.

Kira Yoshikage stopped in the corridor and stood by the window, quietly watching the evil spirits at the school gate.

Although their numbers are small, the evil spirits will eventually gather in greater numbers due to the attraction of psychic energy. In this situation, it is naturally more advantageous to eliminate them as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will eventually become a complete nest of evil spirits, just like the Nakano family.

So... why hasn't Geng Xizi taken any action yet? He didn't raise this goddess for nothing!

Just then, Yoshikage Kira saw streams of viscous, black liquid, like oil, gushing from the smooth ground at the school gate, instantly submerging the ankles of the evil spirits. From that 'oil,' jet-black arms, encased in 'oil,' suddenly emerged, tightly gripping the bodies of the evil spirits and dragging them completely into the abyss of the dark ocean.

Soon, the evil spirit vanished without a trace, and the 'oil' that had devoured it also disappeared quietly.

The ground remained flat, without a trace, and everything looked the same as before, as if nothing had happened.

"Another peaceful day."

Kira Yoshikage withdrew his gaze, stepped out of the corridor, and walked towards his classroom.

-----------------

Outside Shuchiin Academy, inside a black sedan parked by the roadside, a young man with spiky hair, wearing a dark blue school uniform with a stand-up collar, looked extremely solemn.

"Senior Nanami, did you see that?"

"what."

Sitting next to the spiky-haired youth, a tall, blond middle-aged man in a beige suit calmly said, "As expected, judging from the power of the spell, it is at least a level 1 spell spirit."

The spiky-haired youth asked:

"Shall we take action?"

"No,"

The blond middle-aged man adjusted his goggles and said slowly, "Our mission is to confirm the state of the deity at Shuchiin Academy. We don't need to take action unless absolutely necessary. Moreover, from what we've seen so far, that cursed spirit is indeed protecting the school's safety."

"Being able to tame a level 1 cursed spirit as a shikigami, that 'Twilight' must be at least a special-grade one. The shrine was only built yesterday, and it has already formed a complete barrier today, which also shows that that 'deity' already possessed considerable strength before being worshipped."

"Judging from the magical reaction of the barrier, that deity is indeed the type that protects the peace of the region."

"The philosophy of sorcerers has changed over the years, and they are now very tolerant of the existence of these 'gods.' As long as they don't kill people, they are not within our scope of exorcism."

There are so many shrines in Japan, and quite a few of them are inhabited by deities.

It would be extremely difficult to wipe them all out.

After all, many of them possessed strength at the Special Grade, and if they were truly forced to rebel, it would inevitably lead to numerous casualties among ordinary people. Fortunately, the vast majority of them were unable to leave the shrine, and the protective barrier formed by the shrine could indeed shield the nearby people.

However, some shrines are precisely the places where filth and corruption are rampant.

And that is precisely their mission: to determine whether the 'Twilight Shrine' is protecting the peace of the area or harboring evil!
