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

For a moment, the atmosphere in the store was quite tense, and everyone's eyes were filled with an lingering eagerness.

Even girls are no exception.

This is the Jade Dragon Flag! They can't wait to compete against peers from all over the country who practice different kendo styles!

"Let's go! Let's set off! To the Fukuoka Budokan!"

"Oh!"

It's unclear who spoke first, but almost everyone followed suit.

Students streamed out of the hostel and onto the street, forming a huge crowd.

Then, head held high and chest out, he walked directly toward the martial arts hall.

When the silver-haired girl came out, this was the scene she saw. She looked completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened.

He turned to look at his companion, who also shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

Only the proprietress turned on the television with a smile:

"It looks like this year's Jade Dragon Flag will be quite spectacular."

Inside Soubu High School, Natsukawa Masaki rested her cheek on her left hand, watching Hiratsuka Shizuka give a final review lecture from the podium with a bored expression.

My gaze involuntarily fell on the empty desk in front of me.

Judging by the time, the opening ceremony of the Jade Dragon Flag should be starting soon. I wonder how the investigation on Kujo-kun's side is going, and whether things are being resolved smoothly.

With a soft sigh, Natsukawa Masaki turned to look at the bright sun outside the window, feeling a pang of melancholy.

She really wanted to watch Yulongqi's live stream, even just seeing Kujo Toru on the screen would be fine.

If she doesn't see Kujo Toru for a day, it feels like Suzumoto Cocoon is crawling all over her.

She gave Hiratsuka Shizuka a resentful look as she spoke eloquently on the podium.

She had originally planned to take three days off to stay home and watch Yulongqi's live stream. Since she had only transferred schools a few weeks ago, she wouldn't be forced to stay at school for summer tutoring because of failing her final exams.

However, Hiratsuka Shizuka refused, saying, "You just transferred here and you're already asking for leave. It won't look good in the eyes of your classmates."

In fact, it wasn't just her who was absent-minded; Yumiko Miura was the same.

Looking at Kujo Tetsu's empty desk, she couldn't quite describe how she felt.

I couldn't listen to a single word of Shizuka Hiratsuka's lectures.

Why did Kujo suddenly go to participate in the Jade Dragon Flag event?

She was lost in thought when she saw the new transfer student, who was very close to Toru Kujo, suddenly raise her hand.

"Teacher, I'm not feeling well and would like to go to the infirmary to rest!"

He was speaking while clutching his stomach, his face contorted in pain.

Hiratsuka Shizuka understood immediately, and without saying anything more, simply nodded.

Then Natsukawa Masuzu ran out with light steps.

Yumiko Miura could see it clearly; she was still smiling, and there was no sign of discomfort whatsoever.

But why did she lie?

Her brain was racing, and soon, Yumiko Miura thought of a possibility:

Could she have used this as an excuse to go to the infirmary and watch Yulongqi's live stream on her phone?

Volume 1: Chapter 187 (4K) The First Battle of the Jade Dragon Banner

Thinking of this, under the surprised gazes of her small group of friends, Miura Yumiko also raised her hand:

"Ms. Jing, it's not safe for Xia Chuan to go to the infirmary alone if she's not feeling well. Let me go with her."

"Huh?!"

Natsukawa Masaki blinked, turned her head, and looked at Miura Yumiko, who had a righteous expression on her face.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

No, what are you doing out here at this time?! Don't act like you know us so well!

"Go."

Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't ask any further questions, she just waved her hand dismissively.

Miura Yumiko immediately ran to Natsukawa Masuzu's side and took her arm:

"Come on, Xia Chuan, let me help you over there."

Walking side by side down the corridor, both of them were tall and beautiful with delicate features. As they passed by the window, they couldn't help but attract the attention of students from other classes.

"What exactly do you want? Our relationship isn't that close yet, is it?"

Natsukawa Masuzu clutched her stomach with her left hand, feigning discomfort, and asked the girl beside her in a low voice.

Glancing at the new transfer student, Miura Yumiko also whispered a reply to her:

"Don't even think about sneaking away!"

The words were simple, but she believed that Natsukawa Masuzu would understand.

They looked at each other, and sunlight streamed in through the window, falling on them.

Finally, Natsukawa Masaki gave a soft snort, too lazy to pretend anymore, and quickly walked downstairs.

Yumiko Miura followed closely behind, falling a few steps behind her.

When the two arrived at the door of the infirmary, they both involuntarily stopped in their tracks.

Because there are already people inside.

"Yukinoshita, there's nothing seriously wrong with your health. Feeling dizzy might just be because your blood sugar is a little low. Why don't you lie down and rest for a while?"

The school doctor's clear voice echoed in her ears, but Yukino Yukinoshita had no intention of listening to it at all.

Looking at Natsukawa Masuzu and Miura Yumiko standing at the door, the three of them had rather strange expressions.

Surely they don't all have the same idea...?

Meanwhile, for Daisuke Kousaka, a member of the Chiba Confession Department, seeing the Jade Dragon Flag was not as troublesome as it was for these students.

The report on Akiyama Shoji's mysterious death has been written and submitted, and the evidence collection on Kurokawa Misaki and Kyogoku Natsuhiko's crimes is almost complete. Currently, the victim's parents are filing a lawsuit.

After working overtime for almost a month, he finally had time to take a break and get some rest.

After taking a sip of tea, Daisuke Kosaka let out a soft sigh of relief.

It's good that Kujo Toru isn't in Chiba. Even if problems arise, it'll be the Fukuoka Prefectural Police who will be busy, not him.

I inexplicably felt much more at ease.

*Slap slap slap*

The sound of plastic slippers hitting the floor came from upstairs, followed by a pink figure rushing down.

Before I could even see the person clearly, their voice arrived first:

"Dad, which TV station is broadcasting the Jade Dragon Flag live again?"

Daisuke Kosaka glanced sideways at his daughter, who was wearing pink pajamas and had pillow marks on her face, but didn't say anything more.

My child just finished their exams last week and has only just started summer vacation, so let's let them indulge for a couple of days first.

He spoke slowly and deliberately:

"Fukuoka Broadcasting is currently showing the opening ceremony; the qualifiers will begin shortly."

"Oh."

Kirino Kousaka turned on the TV and switched the channel. It just so happened that the president of the All-Sword League was giving a speech.

After listening for a while, Kirino Kousaka lost interest. It was all just empty talk about hoping that the athletes would carry forward the spirit of kendo, work hard, and continue to promote the sport of kendo.

"That's why I'm too lazy to turn on the TV right now," Daisuke Kosaka said casually. "Speaking of which, you never came to watch the Jade Dragon Flag in previous years, why are you suddenly interested?"

"Because this year is different."

Kirino Kousaka casually replied, somewhat disappointed:

"Why isn't it over yet? I want to see Kujo-senpai..."

Daisuke Kosaka's gaze also fell on the television: "It'll be soon."

At the Fukuoka Budokan, Takeshi Yokota also showed impatience with the speech given by the president of the All-Sword Association:

"Why is it taking so long? It's been half an hour already. If this keeps up, it might be over by the time we draw lots this morning."

He couldn't contain his urge to go up and make a big splash.

However, Kujo Toru was not as eager as him. Instead, he stood leisurely by Yueyi-Linyiqi?mWujiu, observing the crowd.

Today's schedule is packed, so there's definitely no time to go to Daimyo Village. It's better to relax a bit.

Having constantly dealt with vengeful spirits, monsters, and gods, he had almost forgotten what a normal student's life was like.

Among the female students, a girl with long silver hair stood there, while the girls around her, who were wearing the same uniform, kept a slight distance from her and looked at her with a hint of awe.

"Yoshino, look at the person with the backpack on the left rear."

Suddenly, Cong Yu, who was standing next to her and curiously looking at the crowd, reached out and tugged at her clothes, pointing in a direction.

The girl instinctively turned her head and looked in the direction Cong Yu was pointing.

Because Yokota Tsuyoshi's tall stature was conspicuous even among boys, he quickly spotted Kujo Toru through him.

“That is the deity we saw in the hot spring last night.”

Is this what they call a god?

There was a hint of curiosity and a touch of inquiry in the girl's eyes.

This was the first time she had ever seen a real god.

Although Lady Murasame is the chief spirit of Kenshin Shrine and everyone in Hoori Town respects her, according to Lady Murasame herself, she is essentially just the spirit of the sacred sword Murasame-maru, and cannot be compared to a true deity.

Evil spirits are also included.

But I always feel... there's nothing special about it, and you can easily overlook it if you're not paying attention.

"We thought about it carefully last night."

Cong Yu looked up at the contemporary shrine maiden of Kenji Shrine in front of her, her hands on her hips.

He was clearly quite pleased with the idea he had come up with after racking his brains all night.

"Let's go and ask that god for help!"

"Huh?"

The sudden words made the girl speak out instinctively, attracting the attention of her companions.

A faint blush crept onto her fair face, and she quickly waved her hand to indicate that she was alright.

He cast an inquiring glance at Cong Yu.

"Since something bad is going to happen anyway, why not go with this deity? Maybe we can even break the curse on your Chaowu family."

Cong Yu openly shared her thoughts.

It has a sense of "since there's no other way, we might as well just give up" feel to it.

Just then, Toru Kujo saw them, nodded to them in greeting, and then looked away.

All that remained was Asagi Yoshino's inner turmoil, her thoughts gradually drifting off course.

Is it really possible to directly ask a deity for help? Will they grant it?

And wouldn't that be too impolite? After all, he is a real deity; shouldn't I buy some offerings?

She only came to her senses after the white-haired President Quan Jianlian on stage uttered his last words.

"Therefore, I hereby declare the new Yulong Flag officially open!"

The sound of fireworks exploding came through the dome.

The huge martial arts hall instantly became lively.
