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

The black mist churned and surged, as if something was hiding within it.

The world was dark and devoid of light.

Only a streak of crimson broke through the darkness, floating in mid-air.

The thin uniform was completely soaked in blood.

Her long hair fluttered in the night breeze.

On her smooth forehead, she wore a crown resembling the one worn by a shrine maiden during a ritual.

It softened the eeriness and added a touch of solemnity to her appearance.

His scarlet eyes stared venomously at Kujo Toru and Natsukawa Masaki, who had rushed onto the rooftop.

"..."

Natsukawa Masaki shrank his neck and leaned against Kujo Toru's back.

Try to avoid those eyes as much as possible.

This contrasts sharply with the high spirits he displayed when he followed Kujo Toru to the school.

"So he really did turn into a demon?"

The thick resentment in the air mingled with wisps of demonic energy.

This clearly demonstrates that the vengeful spirit before us has begun to transform into a monster.

The difficulty level has completely surpassed that of ordinary vengeful spirits, and it is no easier to deal with than the half-demon evil spirits that were killed in the training missions.

However... it's still within his control.

However, compared to that, Kujo Toru is now more curious about her current situation.

On a dark, moonless night, a woman filled with resentment died, consumed by bitterness at being abandoned...

Without a doubt, the vengeful spirit before them had transformed into a demon named "Ushi-toki".

However, according to the book "A Collection of One Hundred Ghosts" in my family, the woman born at the hour of Chou should wear an iron ring on her head, with the three karmic fires of resentment, anger, and jealousy burning on it.

How could it be the shrine maiden's former crown?

"Kill you...kill you..."

His hoarse voice contained no rationality, only a deep-seated killing intent and resentment towards all living things.

The blood on the uniform grew thicker and thicker.

Droplets of liquid seeped from the clothes and dripped onto the rooftop floor.

The pungent, metallic smell lingered in my nostrils.

The girl of the past has completely vanished; she has lost everything.

All that remains here is the lingering resentment of a woman named Ushi-toki.

Kujo Toru's eyes turned cold.

Even colder than the gaze was the sharp glint of the blade.

Several long snakes crawling in the darkness were sliced ​​in half.

The snake, over a meter long, rolled around on the cement floor, startling Natsukawa Masaki.

Fortunately, it turned into black smoke and dissipated in an instant, returning to the dark clouds overhead.

She glanced around and felt a chill run down her spine.

Before they knew it, a dense swarm of snakes had completely surrounded them.

The jet-black scales blended perfectly into the night.

The hissing sound of the tongue spitting out its copious mingled with the scraping sound of crawling on the concrete floor, directly evoking a sense of fear of cold-blooded animals.

His scarlet, merciless eyes opened.

The reflection of the two figures was visible in the water.

Densely packed, like falling into a red abyss.

Further away, blood was still dripping from the hem of the woman's clothes at the hour of the 11 o'clock hour.

With each drop of blood that falls to the ground, the swarm of snakes silently gains another member.

Natsukawa Masuzu didn't dare to move at all, forcibly suppressing the urge to run away, and remembering the words that Kujo Toru had told her earlier.

Just stick close to him!

Natsukawa Masami didn't want to be a burden, so she chose to obediently listen to him.

And Kujo Tetsuya did not disappoint her.

Snow-white sandalwood paper drifted down from the night sky.

It was in a flurry of activity.

Like snow falling in winter, like cherry blossoms falling at dawn in spring.

To Natsukawa Masaki's astonishment, it spontaneously combusted without fire.

Resentment and demonic power mingled, and it happened to be the hour of Chou (1-3 AM).

At this moment, the rooftop has completely opened the door of the mortal world to the world beyond.

And so, she was finally able to glimpse the scene on the other side of the door.

It was a magnificent sight that perfectly matched, and even far exceeded, her imagination.

The ashes after the sandalwood paper burned out were not blown away by the night wind, but instead gathered in Kujo Toru's hand.

A faint glow swirled within him as he held a longbow imbued with spiritual energy in his palm.

Azure particles swirled around him.

Her clothes fluttered in the wind.

He narrowed his eyes, looked up, and aimed at the Ugly Woman in mid-air.

They completely ignored the black snakes wriggling all over the ground.

Adjust your breathing.

Calm your heartbeat.

Discard distracting thoughts.

He gripped the bowstring with his right hand and slowly pulled it behind him.

The spiritual energy within my body is surging.

A completely illusory demon-slaying arrow materialized between the bow and the bowstring.

Then, the legends recorded in ancient books began to unfold at this moment.

Lightning shattered the darkness.

A violent airflow swept in all directions.

Natsukawa Masaki was forced to close her eyes.

A deep blue shooting star streaks across the night sky.

The black tide has been separated.

Wherever it passed, the violent wind swept up all the black snakes in its path and tore them to shreds.

Scales flew everywhere, and blood rained down.

Before it even hit the ground, it had already turned into black mist and dissipated.

A stunning blue streak flashed across the scarlet eyes of the woman born at the hour of the 11 o'clock hour.

Immediately afterward, a meteor struck the crown on the forehead.

The crimson bells on its crown swayed incessantly, making a jumbled sound.

A streak of meteor shot upwards against the heavens, tearing a large hole in the thick, mountain-like black mist.

Silvery moonlight streamed down from it.

The black snakes that were lucky enough to escape the raging wind all straightened up and hissed at the sky.

In the end, it collapsed completely.

The golden crown fell from the sky, rolled a few times on the concrete ground, and became covered in dust.

As all the strange phenomena disappeared, leaving only himself and Kujo Toru bathed in moonlight on the rooftop, Natsukawa Masuzu was still somewhat dazed.

She was still caught up in the memory of that arrow.

"it's over?"

blinked.

She had imagined the scene on the rooftop would be an incredibly fierce battle.

I didn't expect to be defeated in one shot.

His gaze fell on Kujo Toru's upright back.

Although I've only just come into contact with this other world, I feel like this guy is ridiculously strong.

If Kujo Toru knew what she was thinking, he would definitely make a self-deprecating remark:

Is he the strong one? No, the strong one is the Seifu Taisha Shrine.

Spells to exorcise spirits, swordsmanship to ward off demons.

He even used the Demon-Slaying Arrow from the spell, combined with the archery secrets of the swordsmanship [Seishu Shinto-ryu].

This is why the Ushi no Toki, who was both a monster and a vengeful spirit, was directly driven away with a single arrow.

If he relied solely on the meager spiritual power within him, he wouldn't stand a chance against a demon like Ushi-no-Toki, who was far beyond the realm of ordinary vengeful spirits...

Even so, that arrow had almost exhausted his spiritual energy.

We still need to upgrade as soon as possible.

I sighed slightly to myself.

In the world of trials, thanks to the power of that half-demon, even though the evil spirits were stronger than the Ugly Woman, they were actually easier to deal with.

I wonder if there's any way to get that half-demon power out.

Just as I was about to bend down and pick up the crown that had rolled to my feet, things suddenly took another turn.

A rich aura of blood gushed out from it, enveloping it completely.

Then, without any intervention, it ascended to heaven on its own.

Above their heads, the black mist that had begun to dissipate after the Ugly Woman's extermination began to gather again.

The moon disappeared again.

The world returned to darkness.

At the center of the black mist, a vortex was slowly rotating.

Tiny crimson lightning bolts appeared within it, faintly illuminating its enormous body.

The air seemed to freeze.

A huge vertical pupil opened from the black mist.

He looked straight at Kujo Toru.

"You killed my witch?"

His body appeared and disappeared.

Its scales are mottled.
