Supernatural/Anime Crossover: Where Did My Romantic Comedy Go?

"Whether it's day or night, no matter where you are, there's always a pair of eyes staring at you with venomous hatred, wishing they could devour your flesh and blood. I'm really afraid to go out; I'm so scared!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

The girl's hand trembled, almost causing her phone to fly out of her hand, and she instinctively burrowed under the covers.

Fortunately, the worried voice that followed put her at ease again.

It was her mother's voice:

"Meisa, are you feeling better today? Would you like some calming tea?"

"no need!"

The sharp sound was quite piercing.

It was purely an instinctive reaction of being startled.

The woman outside the door frowned, her face full of worry.

After hesitating for a long time, I could only sigh with heartache.

She went down the stairs again to the first floor and started preparing dinner for her husband who was coming home from get off work.

The girl's mind went blank for a few moments until Kobayashi Hikaru's anxious questions came through the microphone, which brought her back to her senses.

She wasn't targeting her mother intentionally; it's just that she feels completely insecure whenever she leaves the corner.

"I'm sorry, Hikaru-kun... I think I'll probably be going to Aoba Hospital to be with you soon."

After saying this bitter sentence, the girl hung up the phone.

He wrapped his arms around his knees again, curling himself up into a ball.

His eyes were blank as he stared at the snow-white television screen.

A hissing noise echoed in the room.

From the gap between the TV cabinet and the floor, a scarlet eye opened, filled with resentment.

The girl's body trembled.

My breathing became heavy.

A pair of arms forced their way out of the gap.

The cracking and popping sounds of bones breaking were incessant.

It was crooked and almost unrecognizable.

Several fingers were missing, and a thick, black liquid was oozing from the festering wounds.

And so, little by little, it crawled across the floor, getting closer and closer to the girl.

I was jolted awake.

The girl's scalp felt like it was about to explode.

Before the brain can even process it, the body has already acted.

She practically jumped out of bed, not even having time to put on slippers, and ran barefoot toward the door.

Boom!

The door was pushed open violently, slamming against the wall with a loud bang, followed by the sound of heavy objects rolling down.

The wife, who was still preparing ingredients in the kitchen, was startled.

"Misa, what's wrong?! Are you alright?!"

Without thinking twice, he quickly put down the kitchen knife and rushed to the living room.

The next moment, she covered her mouth.

The still-warm blood stained her fair skin, making her look exceptionally alluring.

The strangely twisted arm lay limply on the floor.

The bent neck landed on the last step.

The girl's lifeless eyes stared at the ceiling.

I don't know what she saw.

After the call was disconnected, Toru Kujo dialed back several times.

But no one answered the phone.

Kobayashi Hikaru's expression grew increasingly grim.

His girlfriend's last words filled him with a deep sense of foreboding.

Why did something happen to Mesa when I was the one who encountered something strange?

Where does your girlfriend live?

Once again, the phone rang with the message that no one was answering, and Kujo Toru simply gave up on making another call.

He put his phone back on the bedside table and asked Kobayashi Hikaru.

After obtaining the location of the fluid from Kobayashi Hikaru, Kujo Toru did not linger.

He withdrew his spiritual energy barrier, nodded to the Kobayashi couple waiting outside the door, and hurried towards the stairs.

Kobayashi Hikaru stared blankly at the ceiling.

The warmth he felt from his parents' concern was comforting.

As for his girlfriend, there was nothing he could do.

I've been through so much these past two days, all I want to do now is rest.

Kujo Toru's figure once again roamed the streets.

It's still the same old local running style, going straight from point A to point B.

Perfect adheres to the philosophy that any path that a person can pass through is a shortcut.

It only took about ten minutes to reach a residential area.

The red and blue lights flashed continuously.

Yellow barricades were laid at both ends of the street.

Police surrounded a two-story building.

Superintendent Ando was standing at the door, holding a folder in his hand, his pen moving rapidly across the paper as he took notes.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out nearby.

"Hey, this is a restricted area, you can't go in!"

Frowning, he turned his head and caught a glimpse of a rather familiar figure beyond the yellow line.

He shook his head, a hint of helplessness on his face.

Having his colleagues temporarily take notes at the scene, Superintendent Ando headed straight there.

"Kujou, how come I see you here?"

She patted Kujo Toru on the shoulder and walked towards the foot of the wall, saying in an annoyed tone:

“This was a reported accidental death. I’m just here to conduct a routine investigation to issue a death certificate. Don’t tell me it was actually a murder case.”

"Was the deceased a student at Soubu High School named Sakakibara Misa?"

Superintendent Ando nodded, his expression turning serious.

"You know him?"

Kujo Toru nodded: "She's my classmate. She didn't go to school today, so I came to check on her."

He turned around and looked at the house in front of him.

There was not a trace of resentment.

Clearly, his guess was correct.

Since Kobayashi Hikaru's accident was caused by the Stand Game, there is only one explanation for Sakakibara Misa's accident.

She is associated with the book "Summer, Fireworks, and Me Under the Tree".

Volume 1: Chapter 120 The Past of Yomiyama Middle School

"Can I meet with the deceased's family?"

Kujo Toru made what he considered a reasonable request.

Superintendent Ando gave him a deep look and finally sighed.

Instead of directly answering his question, he said something unrelated:

"Kujo, let's find a coffee shop and have a good talk."

"Isn't it inappropriate for you to skip work like this?"

"It's alright. I'm only responsible for approving death certificates. I've already checked the scene; it was indeed an accidental death."

Although Superintendent Ando said that, his expression turned quite grim when he mentioned the words "accidental death".

Seeing her performance, Kujo Tetsu had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

He nodded in agreement immediately.

"it is good."

Then, led by her, Toru Kujo went with her to a coffee shop on the street corner.

Sitting by the window, you can see the yellow strips blocking the streets.

Because police cars had arrived, most people were afraid of getting into trouble, so there were no customers in the coffee shop.

It was just the two of them and the shop assistant standing behind the counter wiping the cups.

Inspector Ando casually stirred the coffee in front of him with a spoon in his right hand.

"If I remember correctly, Kujo, your family owns a shrine, right?"

"Yes, Qingfu Taisha is quite effective. If you have time, I suggest you go and worship there."

Kujo Tetsu leaned back in his chair, looking at Inspector Ando in front of him.

After all, she works in the criminal investigation field, and her main job is to investigate murder cases, so the possibility of encountering vengeful spirits is much greater than that of ordinary people.

It's safer to visit the temple.

Of course, it would be best to spend 200,000 to get a peace charm from yourself.

"Okay, I will go and pay my respects."

Superintendent Ando put down the spoon in his hand.

His expression was quite serious.

His eyes were fixed on Kujo Toru.

"You must have come into contact with those... oh no, you must have been able to see those things."

If it's a detective like Daisuke Kosaka who has never encountered strange events, due to his past education, he doesn't genuinely believe in the existence of gods and ghosts.

They would only attribute Kujo Toru's ability to accurately detect murders every time he had done so over the past year to his own keen sense of smell and physical constitution.

But Inspector Ando is different.

Because she had actually encountered strange, inexplicable events.

Therefore, she knew that there really were things in this world that ordinary people couldn't see.

In her eyes, Kujo Toru's behavior was completely different from what others thought.

Especially today's actions.

"visible."

Nodding, Toru Kujo gave an affirmative answer.

Having heard what he wanted to hear, Inspector Ando breathed a sigh of relief.
