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

"Psionic talent?"

"To put it simply, you can understand the essence of all supernatural phenomena as the manifestation of psychic energy in the material world, and humans with psychic talents are psychics."

“Every psionicist has their own unique psionic talents, which are both a blessing and a curse.”

"Used well, it can destroy the world; used poorly, it can also destroy the world."

Mai Sakurajima remarked:

What's the difference between the two?

"The former is the destruction of your subjective will, such as when you are tired of humanity and decide to use your psychic powers to destroy the world."

"The latter is due to the loss of control of psionic energy, which causes your body to explode like a large nuclear bomb, resulting in the destruction of the world."

Mai Sakurajima looked at her hands with some suspicion:

Am I really that amazing?

"No."

"Then what you just said..."

"Just an example."

Sakurajima Mai suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, how annoying!

Kira Yoshikage ignored the girl's annoyance and continued explaining:

"Your current situation is a classic example of psionic disorder."

"The first thing that ordinary psionicists awaken is 'spiritual vision,' which is the ability to see spirits. But you accidentally activated your psionic talent out of self-preservation, making you unobservable by others."

"While this may have temporarily saved you from danger, the out-of-control psionic energy is difficult to quell."

"If you still can't master your psychic powers, this state of being unobservable will only get worse."

"Not only can humans not observe you, but even most 'spirits' cannot observe your existence."

“Even the traces of your existence will be completely erased, and no one will remember that you ever existed in this world. You will truly become an ‘observer’ detached from the world.”

Mai Sakurajima's face paled slightly; she already had this premonition.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, 'Sakurajima Mai's' presence was becoming increasingly weak.

Not only has she become unnoticed, but even casual conversations about 'Sakurajima Mai' have dwindled. The once wildly popular star is gradually fading from public view.

This cannot be explained simply by saying she's "outdated." Outdated doesn't happen that quickly, and besides, she's not outdated at all!

If this continues, it won't be long before she's completely forgotten by the world...

Mai Sakurajima's voice trembled slightly:

What should I do?

"To become a priestess."

Kira Yoshikage's answer was as expected, but it was the truth.

Mai Sakurajima alone is simply not capable of taming the out-of-control psionic energy.

If psychic energy were so easy to tame, there wouldn't be so many supernatural phenomena.

Becoming a shrine maiden, under the protection of a 'god,' and forcibly suppressing the out-of-control spiritual energy, is the simplest method.

Mai Sakurajima took a sip of lemonade and fell into thought.

Although she had some misunderstandings about Yoshikage Kira, at least he had never hurt her. Moreover, the 'god' she was about to serve seemed to be just an ordinary girl.

So, let's just say they're good people?

Since she's a good person, there's nothing wrong with her being a shrine maiden.

The girl, having resolved her inner conflict, became noticeably more lively, especially after realizing that Yoshikage Kira was a 'good person.' She would even occasionally crack a couple of jokes with him in an attempt to lighten the mood, but unfortunately, she never managed to see any extra expression on Yoshikage Kira's face.

Mai Sakurajima took a sip of her lemonade, thought for a moment, and then asked:

"Why am I attracted to those 'evil spirits'?"

As Yoshikage Kira wiped the cup, he spoke:

"Psionic energy attracts each other."

"In space, planets with excessive mass can affect the surrounding gravity, such as Mars."

"A more typical example is the Sun, whose gravity pulls on the eight planets, including Earth, and countless asteroids orbiting around it."

"But the solar system is very stable because the sun is big enough and the eight planets are 'small' enough."

"If two planets are too close together, this gravitational pull will cause them to collide with each other."

"You can also think of a psionicist as a magnet that attracts all objects with psionic energy, that is, other magnets. Whether it's other psionicists or evil spirits that are essentially made of psionic energy."

"The stronger the psionicist, the stronger the magnet's attraction."

"Similarly, evil spirits are the same."

“Psionicists are the most delicious food for evil spirits, because consuming psionicists can enhance their power.”

"Conversely, psionicists can also absorb the psionic energy that evil spirits release by killing them."

Mai Sakurajima had a terrifying thought:

"What if it's a psionicist or a psionicist?"

"That's fine too."

Yoshikage Kira's tone remained calm:

“Psionicists can use other psionicists as batteries to recharge, and evil spirits can also achieve a higher level of ‘evolution’ by devouring each other. And under normal circumstances, psionicists are more, well, more nutritious than evil spirits.”

"Therefore, relatively speaking, psychics are much more likely to encounter evil spirits than ordinary people."

Mai Sakurajima was met with a harsh reality check. Was this why the 'god' needed her as a sacrifice? It needed to devour enough psionicists to 'evolve' itself.

Mai Sakurajima was silent for a moment:

"Then why were there so few evil spirits at the school before? Given the principle of mutual attraction, wouldn't the school's 'deity' attract more evil spirits or psychics?"

Yoshikage Kira retorted:

Would you jump into a fire pit?

"will not."

Mai Sakurajima instinctively gave the answer, and then immediately realized the answer to the question—because that 'god' was strong enough that other evil spirits and psychics were afraid of him!

Therefore, those evil spirits dared not set foot on the school grounds, otherwise they would be devoured by that god.

In a sense, that 'deity' is actually the school's guardian angel.

Mai Sakurajima seemed to have thought of something:

"Is the 'amulet' given by the shrine based on a similar principle?"

"Correct."

Yoshikage Kira praised the girl for her quick thinking and ability to apply what she had learned:

"The so-called 'amulet' actually carries some of the Onmyoji's spiritual energy, which is enough to dispel ordinary evil spirits in most cases. However, if it is targeted by a more powerful evil spirit, the 'amulet' will become their death warrant."

"In addition, the same applies to other types of protective charms, such as 'cursed objects'."

"But unlike protective charms, cursed items are usually made from the remains of powerful psychics or the remains of evil spirits. They are more powerful, but also more dangerous, and are the greatest danger in themselves."

"Of course, most of the amulets are fake."

Mai Sakurajima muttered to herself:

"If that's the case, the fake might be better than the real one."

"Ara~ Kira-kun~ Are you busy?"

Just then, a girl's clear voice rang out from behind her.

Mai Sakurajima turned around and saw a young woman with neat short black hair walking towards her, making a move to sit in her seat.

Mai Sakurajima quietly left and skillfully sat down in the seat next to her.

It was only then that she realized the other person wasn't alone; she was accompanied by a girl with long, straight black hair. The girl was wearing the Shuchiin Academy uniform and exuded a cool, aloof aura.

Yoshikage Kira asked skillfully:

"Good evening, Ms. Yang Nai. Would you like something to drink?"

Yukinoshita touched her lips with her slender white index finger:

"Gin and Tonic."

"Minor..."

Yukino rolled her eyes, but didn't put on airs of a boss; she simply waved her hand to interrupt him.

"Then lemonade it is! It's the only drink you know how to make anyway."

Yoshikage Kira shrugged, not denying it.

Anyway, with an hourly wage of 2000, whatever you say goes, and he will never disagree—although he originally wanted to say that minors are prohibited from drinking alcohol, but since you are the boss, whatever you say goes.

"Ah! Kimoji!"

Yukino took a refreshing sip of lemonade, her eyes squinting in delight.

However, it was only then that she seemed to notice the girl behind her hadn't sat down yet, and she began to complain in dissatisfaction:

"Yukino, sit here with me."

Yukinoshita waved with a grin.

Mai Sakurajima silently shifted her position, preparing to sit further away.

But the girl called Yukino turned around and sat down to the right of Yukinoshita Haruno, causing Sakurajima Mai to pause slightly.
