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

After exchanging pleasantries.

Kujo Toru's gaze fell on her left eye.

Noticing that the spiritual energy he had left behind had not decreased or weakened, he nodded in satisfaction and began to inquire about other matters:

"During the week I was away, did anything strange happen at Atsuta Shrine? Any other strange things are fine too."

Atsuta Shrine?

"Ah."

Seeing that Hiyori Iki was tilting her head and starting to think, Tetsuya Kujo looked back at the system panel.

[Trial Mission: The Sword of Unrivaled Power]

[Basic Information: In the era when gods roamed the earth alongside vengeful spirits and demons, Sumeikan-no-Mikoto slew the Yamata no Orochi and drew a sharp sword from its tail, hailed as the sword of unparalleled dominance. Nyanaki-no-Mikoto once descended to the mortal realm with it, establishing his rule over Ashihara no Naka de; however, this was also a demonic sword destined to destroy the world. As the gods gradually weakened, the seal on the demonic sword was broken, and it was about to unleash a world-ending bloodbath in the present world.]

Basic Rewards: 2 Skill Points, 1 Silver Treasure Chest

[Special Reward: ???]

You have obtained the corresponding world identity template.

Without a doubt, the demon sword mentioned in the training mission must be the legendary Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, one of the Three Sacred Treasures.

As for the seal mentioned in the description, Kujo Toru did not know the specifics.

However, he knew that, according to legend, this sword was eventually enshrined in Atsuta Shrine and was the main deity of Atsuta Shrine.

That's why he directly asked Ikihi and Atsuta Shrine if anything had happened during this time.

The training missions given by the system are mostly things that will happen on the same day or in the next few days. If this demon sword is really about to break its seal, then it should be causing a big commotion by now.

Thinking of this, Kujo Toru subconsciously reached for the snow-white bone sword hanging at his waist.

He had once speculated that this so-called sacred relic was very likely the [Ama-no-Murakumo] from Uesugi Erii's world.

It's unclear which of these two worlds' Ama-Kusanagi is more ferocious or more domineering.

"I'm sorry, Lord Kujo, I really can't remember."

Hiyori Iki shook her head helplessly, unable to recall any strange things.

"However, there is one other strange thing."

He took his phone out of Hihakama's pocket, found a tweet, and handed it over.

“There’s a post online recently. The person who posted it seems to have met you and even claims to have received your guidance.”

A question mark slowly appeared on his forehead.

Kujo Toru took the phone.

The phone still carried the warmth of the girl's body, but he paid no attention to it and looked directly at the screen.

The gods will ultimately save this corrupt world!

Just from the title, Kujo Tetsu could smell a strong sense of the eerie.

It's just an illegal cult that uses doomsday theories to scare others into joining.

However, after reading the entire post, Kujo Toru overturned his own idea.

The person who posted this message has indeed met me.

This can be seen from the description of the deities he saw in the post.

The deity, dressed in snow-white hunting robes, wielded two swords and summoned heavenly fire to burn away all evil spirits.

That's pretty much what it looked like on the rooftop that night.

It must have been because the gates of the underworld were open at that time, and by chance, a glimpse of the mortal world was accidentally caught.

If that's the case, then so be it.

After all, there are always some people who can see the scenery on the other side of the border, like Hiyori Iki.

But what happened next was quite bizarre.

The poster seemed to have been brainwashed, firmly believing that he had received divine revelation from Kujo Toru, and constantly praising him as the only savior of this world on the verge of destruction.

If one wants to live to the next era, one must worship and make offerings to him.

In the comments section, the poster engaged in a fierce battle with questioning bystanders, those seeking entertainment, and trolls until the post was locked and the system forcibly prohibited replies.

They were even more fanatical than the zealots during the Crusades.

Scroll down further, and you'll find several similar posts.

The descriptions of that deity in all of them are exactly the same as those in the first post.

His brows furrowed involuntarily.

The conspiracy against him in this post is so strong it's almost pungent.

However, Kujo Toru wasn't too worried.

Since he descended to this world using an avatar, whether he was injured or died, it wouldn't be synchronized with his real body.

At worst, the training mission will fail, but when the next training begins, you'll be able to return unscathed.

From the perspective of the world of Noragami alone, his "immortality" makes him seem more like a god than the gods of today.

"Ignore them."

Kujo Toru handed the phone to Iki Hiyori.

Then he turned around to face the path leading to the temple, looking down at the foot of the mountain.

I was somewhat surprised.

Why is he here?

A tall, vermilion torii gate stands at the foot of the mountain.

It was incredibly majestic under the dazzling sunlight.

The stone-paved path stretches all the way up the mountain, with no end in sight.

Just looking at the vast shrine before her, Yukine couldn't help but feel a deep sense of awe.

"What a solemn shrine..."

"Of course, after all, they worship that God of War."

Yato thoroughly enjoyed Yukine's awe.

This is the treatment that gods should receive.

If he doesn't tell some stories, this kid will really look down on all the gods.

"What are you so smug about? It's not your shrine."

Xueyin glanced at him sideways, disapproving of his behavior, and couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

But Yato showed no remorse whatsoever, and just snorted twice:

"But I've lived here before."

"So you're sneaking in to stay overnight again while the owner is away, aren't you?"

Yukine narrowed her eyes, as if she were looking at scum.

Volume 1: Chapter 151 Yato: Huh? You're not dead?

"What kind of talk is that! I fought alongside him, I'm a comrade-in-arms, you understand? A comrade-in-arms!"

Then came a series of things like, "Even if he knew, he would be happy to let me stay here."

This earned him a disdainful look from Xueyin.

The air was instantly filled with a joyful atmosphere.

However, after a brief period of playful banter, Yato's expression turned serious.

The voice was full of solemnity:

"When we go inside to hang... and pay our respects, you absolutely mustn't cause any trouble, understand?"

He was so outspoken that he almost blurted out the word "condolences," but luckily he reacted quickly and corrected himself.

Although he had previously made rather negative speculations about Kujo Tetsu's actions in the lower realm.

However, given the other party's act of risking his life to suppress the wind cave, this inference was long ago overturned by him.

Honestly, if their positions were reversed, and he were in Kujo Toru's place that night, he would never have exhausted his last bit of strength to shut down the wind tunnel, even at the cost of his own dissipation.

At least they wouldn't be so decisive.

Even if such an act could lead to the entire city's demise.

For a famous deity, even if a new deity is born to inherit the divine office after the deity's own dissipation, the deity will never be the same person again.

Not to mention an unknown god like him.

If it were to disappear, it would truly vanish into obscurity and be completely forgotten in this world.

Because he himself couldn't do it, Yato understood the value of such behavior even more.

So, the reason I agreed to bring him to Seifu Taisha was twofold: firstly, I wanted him to understand that there are selfless beings like Kujo Toru among the gods; secondly, I also came to pay my respects.

In his eyes, this shrine was more like the grave of Kujo Toru.

"I know."

Yukine, unusually, didn't argue with him, but instead nodded seriously.

Yato had already told him everything about suppressing the Wind Cave that night.

He expressed doubts regarding the aspects concerning Yato.

However, Yukine still held great respect for this martial god who voluntarily sacrificed himself to protect the city.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have proactively suggested visiting the Seifu Taisha Shrine.

The two of them, one in front of the other, climbed the steps.

Compared to when Yato stayed here before, Seifu Taisha Shrine is now completely renovated.

The shadows of the trees swayed in the wind and fell onto the stone slabs.

The air was filled with the sounds of birdsong.

It is very quiet and peaceful.

It must have been the shrine maiden who cleaned it.

Yato thought to himself, then looked at Yukine beside him and warned him again:

"When you meet that great god's priestess later, you must not be rude, understand?"

"understood!"

Yukine sounded very impatient.

But I still subconsciously straightened my clothes.

The two walked up the steps to the top and arrived in front of the main hall. They were immediately attracted by a figure.

Yato stared in astonishment, his eyes wide.

The person I thought I would never see again is now standing there, chatting with his shrine maiden.

The brain immediately shut down.

It slipped out involuntarily:

"You're not dead?!"

Kujo Toru, who had originally wanted to ask him what business he had with him, suddenly turned pale.

Although his blood pressure had spiked that night because Yato had mistakenly believed he was going to die and was convinced of it, Kujo Toru still found it hard to control his emotions when he heard Yato speak so frankly to his face this time.

Noticing his strange expression, Yato realized his words had been problematic and gave an awkward smile.

"Um, if I said I actually meant to ask if you were alright, would you believe me?"
