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

"Don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on him from now on and not let him run around."

Then he started chatting with Daisuke Kousaka.

However, they were basically trying to extract information about Kujo Toru.

He began to regret not having knocked the guy unconscious.

A complete and utter troublemaker!

However, not long after, paramedics carried out two stretchers and ran towards the ambulance, followed by a young detective who came to report the situation to Daisuke Kosaka.

"Senior Kosaka, the preliminary investigation has been completed. The deceased's condition matches the description in the police report. No murder weapon was found at the scene. The preliminary conclusion is that the victim suffered a bone fracture due to a blunt force trauma. The specific cause of death will have to wait for the forensic doctor to determine."

"Thank you for your trouble." Daisuke Kosaka nodded. "Please seal off the scene and retrieve the surveillance footage. I'll take these two to the station to give their statements."

"Yes!"

The rest was not troublesome.

Although it sounds strange, this wasn't the first time Kujo Toru had been to the police station, and the officers taking his statement already knew him.

Therefore, as is customary, after inquiring about the relevant circumstances, he was allowed to leave.

Meanwhile, Natsukawa Masuzu concealed most of the truth, only saying that she discovered the body when she entered the teaching building.

Daisuke Kosaka then drove the two of them home.

The police's movements late at night did not disrupt the tranquility of Chiba City.

The vast majority of ordinary people are still sound asleep.

The sky gradually turned white.

The sun slowly rose from the other side.

A new day has fully begun.

Yukino Yukinoshita opened her eyes.

The window was slightly ajar, and the snow-white curtains were fluttering in the breeze.

I sat up in bed, habitually pulled the panda plush toy next to my pillow into my arms, and covered my forehead, feeling a bit of a headache.

"How could I have such a dream..."

An unnamed mountain village, a dilapidated shrine.

A bizarre festival, villagers with bloodshot eyes.

A giant black snake, sometimes visible, sometimes hidden in the clouds.

She sat on the altar, dressed in a scarlet shrine maiden outfit, as a sacrifice offered to the gods.

Above the weathered torii gate, the writing on the wooden sign is already blurred and illegible.

She could barely make out the character for "knife".

Turning her head to glance at the crow standing on the windowsill, boldly staring at her, Yukino Yukinoshita closed the window expressionlessly.

I got out of bed, opened the closet, and thought about what clothes to wear today.

A very faint odor entered her nose.

He frowned, picked up his casual clothes, pushed open the door, walked to the bathroom, and started taking a shower.

After drying her body and hair and changing into new clothes, she took a deep sniff of herself and gave a faint smile of satisfaction.

Upon entering the living room, she saw a figure she didn't expect, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily curved slightly, before quickly smoothing out the smile.

He sat down next to her with a blank expression.

"Sorry, I have to go out for a bit later, so breakfast will have to be simple."

Yukino pushed the plate in front of her over and poured her a glass of milk.

"Work-related matters?"

A cold voice came from across the table.

Yukinoshita looked up in surprise, gazing at the indifferent face that bore a striking resemblance to her own, and gave a warm smile:

"It seems like some people are doing something underhanded behind my back regarding the real estate company. I need to investigate."

She then glanced at her phone, stood up, and walked towards the entrance.

"I'm off now, have a great weekend!"

With the sound of the door closing, she was suddenly left alone in the large room.

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at the family photos on the wall, sighed softly, and twirled a strand of her hair with her fingers.

In the end, he slowly and methodically began to eat his breakfast.

After tidying up the dining table briefly, she returned to her room and took out the book she hadn't finished reading last time.

Yukio Mishima's "The Temple of the Golden Pavilion".

Just as I picked it up, a paper figure slipped right off.

Recalling that figure from that rainy night, Yukino Yukinoshita's hand froze.

His face immediately fell!

He stuffed the paper figure into his pocket and put the book back in.

Forget it, I'll choose a different book today.

Volume 1: Chapter 23 Ashikawa Group

The crimson torii gate stands tall in the sunlight.

There were very few pedestrians on the street.

Even if you happen to pass by, upon seeing the view in front of the torii gate, you can't help but cover your nose and look away, then quicken your pace to leave.

Kujo Toru's expression remained calm.

Holding a broom, he swept up the dead crows scattered all over the ground and gathered them together.

This is the second time.

These things weren't there when I got back at 2 a.m. last night.

A beautiful figure strode briskly toward this side.

Before the person even arrived, their voice had already drifted over:

"Kujou, I'm sorry..."

The smile that Yukino Yukino used to wear on her face was gone.

He looked rather gloomy.

It was somewhat incongruous with her sunny and approachable appearance.

She was genuinely angry this time.

Not only was my rare day off with my sister disturbed, but I also told Kujo Toru yesterday that I would investigate the matter, and now the same thing has happened again.

For Yukino Yukinoshita, who was being groomed as the family successor, this was undoubtedly a declaration of war against her abilities.

"If I still can't solve it, I'll use my own methods to solve the problem."

Kujo Toru casually tossed the packaged crow carcass to Yukino Yukinoshita, uttering a single sentence in a flat tone.

"Ah, I know."

He bent down, picked up the black garbage bag from beside his feet, and nodded.

"If there's still harassment, then do as you wish."

After saying that, he picked up the trash bag and quickly left.

The land near the Seifu Taisha Shrine, though just a barren patch of land at the foot of the shrine for Kujo Toru, was very important to Yukino Yukinoshita.

It's not just because it's close to Chiba City's main road, making it easy to develop.

This deal was the first project she was in charge of when she took over the family business last year.

When she first looked at the relevant information, she didn't think much of it.

He was just a high school student who had just entered high school. Both of his parents died unexpectedly, and he had no other relatives except for his grandfather who lived in the countryside of Shikoku.

In this situation, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to sign the land sale agreement; the only thing to be wary of is competitors trying to take over.

In fact, the negotiations went very smoothly.

However, just when it was about to be finalized, that bastard Kujo Toru actually went back on his word.

Yukino Yukinoshita still remembers how furious she was at the time.

So she made a rather impulsive decision—

Find the Yakuza Ashikawa Group, which has a partnership with them, and harass the Seifu Taisha Shrine to force Kujo Toru to sell the land.

As for what happened next...

"Hey, Jianzi, hurry up! Be careful that fortune-telling shrine closes down again!"

"I know, slow down!"

The voices of two girls interrupted Yukino's thoughts.

Before she knew it, she had arrived at the commercial street.

The glass of the dome gleamed in the sunlight.

Various shops displayed their signs outside to attract couples to stroll hand in hand on their days off.

Two girls wearing Haneyama High School uniforms ran past her.

Her smooth hair swayed with her movements, showcasing the girl's youthful vitality.

For some reason, Yukinoshita Haruno always felt that the black-haired girl seemed quite nervous.

Watching the two enter the fortune-telling shop that was quite well-known in the commercial district, Yukino Shino shook her head, no longer caring, and walked toward her destination.

【Little Song】.

A quiet bar.

It is located deep within the commercial street.

Pushing open the glass door with the "Open for Business" sign hanging on it, Yukinoshita Haruno stepped inside.

The light dimmed instantly.

The wall lamp emitted a soft glow.

Bach's Prelude in C major flowed smoothly through the air.

It was morning, and the bar had only recently opened; the place was almost empty with very few people.

Welcome!

The female manager, dressed in a black bartender's uniform, was wiping glasses behind the counter. When she saw her enter, she nodded slightly and greeted her.

Yukino nodded, then began scanning the store, finally spotting the person she was looking for in a secluded corner.

He was a man wearing a suit.

He wore his white shirt neatly.

Yellow hair combed until smooth and shiny.

A cup of prepared Negroni sat in front of him, and he sipped it slowly while occasionally glancing at the shop manager who was working diligently.

"Yoshishi Nitta."

Yukino walked straight over, pulled out a chair from the opposite side, and sat down.

She crossed her hands under her chin, staring intently at him.

The man initially looked away casually, but upon seeing her face, he instantly sat up straight, his expression tense.

His forehead was even covered in a thick layer of sweat.
