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

Sugita looked up in surprise, and what came into view was a cold, black metal rod.

With the subsequent excruciating pain, his vision went completely black.

When the lights came on again, the connection with Sugita had been severed.

He collapsed backward, powerless, but before he could even touch the tatami mat, a sense of foreboding flashed through his mind.

Eyes widened.

Inside the pitch-black room, countless pale blue butterflies fluttered around him.

The scattered phosphorus powder was beautiful.

But the boy showed no appreciation whatsoever.

Because he can sense the thoughts of the other side through the shikigami contract.

Extreme panic gripped his mind; he desperately wanted to speak, but the other side didn't give him the chance.

Consciousness was completely plunged into darkness.

One by one, the butterflies transformed into balls of fire and fell mercilessly.

A palm-sized, human-shaped piece of paper floated down from mid-air.

It then turned to ashes.

"The intruders have been dealt with, right?"

On the altar beside the cliff, Kujo Toru received a triumphant report from Suzumoto Mayu.

Considering that this was the little girl's first time facing an enemy alone, Kujo Toru understood her excitement.

The only pity is that nothing useful was left behind.

According to Suzumoto Mayu's description, after she knocked the humanoid unconscious, the butterfly medium used for manipulation turned to ashes.

From the perspective of the principles of humanoid magic, the destruction of the catalyst usually means only one thing:

The death of the practitioner.

In other words, to avoid leaving any trace, they chose to kill to silence the witness?

Kujo Toru narrowed his eyes.

He was now almost certain that this identical caution meant that the person who had invaded the Seifu Shrine tonight must be the nobleman mentioned by the Kurokawa family.

Based on this logic, the other party will probably be more cautious and lie low after tonight.

Until the next setup is successful.

I have no idea what this guy is trying to do. With the Sesshoseki fragments and the resurrection of Yato-gami, does he want to bring back all the monsters that were once sealed or exterminated?

Because the boundary between the mortal world and the present world is inevitably collapsing, one wants to lead the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons into a new era and become the Lord of the mortal world.

The thought flashed through Kujo Toru's mind, but he quickly suppressed it again.

It's better to deal with the immediate problem first.

Blood-red thunder rumbled in the night sky.

The enormous, mountain-like body of the serpent god twisted and turned in the clouds.

Each time lightning flashed, all that could be seen were those cold, black scales.

A glimpse of only one corner is insufficient to see the whole picture.

It perfectly demonstrates why gods cannot be looked at directly.

Although it was just a spirit.

A terrifying pressure gripped everyone's hearts, making it almost impossible to breathe.

The shrine maiden, having finished her Kagura dance, stood barefoot on the altar, her snow-white shrine maiden robe spotless, and looked up at the serpent god.

Although I had prepared myself mentally and was prepared, I still couldn't help but feel apprehensive when I actually glimpsed the scene after its resurrection.

She bit her lower lip.

"Night Sword God..."

Kurokawa Kirizuki realized that he might have been a bit too optimistic.

The sheer length of the demonic body before her was enough to make her doubt herself.

With such a huge difference in size, can I really defeat it?

However, she quickly regained her composure.

From beginning to end, she had no choice.

Since the Kurokawa family accepted the so-called Five Prisons Secret Technique more than a hundred years ago, the resurrection of Yato-gami has been an inescapable fate.

Because she couldn't just stand by and watch the underworld erupt completely in the mortal realm, dragging the entire northern Kyushu into the underworld.

The already fragile balance between the eternal world and the present world will be completely shattered.

From then on, demons and monsters walked openly and honestly in the human world.

Whether it's for these reasons or to break the Kurokawa family's century-old fate, she has no other choice but to do this.

I took a deep breath.

Hold the Kagura bell in your right hand and the five-colored ribbon in your left hand, and shake it gently.

The clear sound of bells rang out on the cliff edge, carrying far and wide on the mountain breeze.

Instantly, the foul air disappeared.

A long-lost sense of ease filled the hearts of Asagi Yoshino and Misaki Mei.

A clear spiritual energy rose from the pure white-clad priestess, enveloping the green mountains.

The pervasive crimson stench was instantly dispelled upon contact, instead converging into the clouds.

One after another, illusory figures appeared on the altar.

Chihaya, dressed in a snow-white shrine maiden's robe embroidered with flying bird patterns, with long, flowing, smooth hair, was a shrine maiden from the Kurokawa family who had transformed into celestial beings over the past hundred years.

It has been sleeping in the Kagura bell for a long time.

This is why she was enshrined in the main hall along with the register of priestesses.

And now, people are being reawakened under the guidance of Kurokawa Kirigetsu.

And they immediately understood the current situation.

"So that's how it is..."

The first priestess sighed softly.

Her figure was very ethereal, as if a gust of wind could blow her away completely.

Although the nobleman concealed the truth, the Five Prisons Secret Technique was genuine; otherwise, the Kurokawa family wouldn't have completely believed him.

Although they have become celestial beings who are theoretically immortal, their existence is entirely based on the seal of Yato-gami.

Now that the seal has been broken, they can no longer maintain their own existence.

It will completely disappear in an instant.

Kurokawa Kirigetsu is no exception.

The graceful figure has begun to gradually become illusory.

It's just that she became a Celestial in the shortest time, allowing her to last a little longer than her senior priestesses.

The other priestesses also understood the current situation, and they all shook their heads with bitter smiles on their faces.

"This is really, ridiculously wrong."

They exchanged a glance, already understanding what they needed to do next.

"I'm sorry, but I have to entrust this heavy responsibility to you even though you are my senior."

Finally, the first priestess took a step forward, looked directly at Kurokawa Kiritsuki who was gradually weakening, and stretched out her hands to both sides.

The others did the same, surrounding her.

It looked like some kind of sacrificial act was being performed.

And Kurokawa Kirigetsu is undoubtedly the center.

Like stars returning to the moon, the nine priestesses transformed into nine shooting stars, soaring into the sky.

It then plunged straight into the glittering golden Kagura bell.

The light emanating from the crown atop Kurokawa Kiritsuki's head grew even brighter.

Layer upon layer of spiritual energy emanated from her and spread outwards.

Her clothes fluttered in the wind.

Her exquisitely beautiful face remained completely expressionless.

Misaki Mei suddenly felt that the shrine maiden she had spent several days with was a complete stranger.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the other person's emotions were rapidly fading.

"What is she doing...?"

"The shrine maidens of the Kurokawa family entrusted all their spiritual power to her."

Asahi Yoshino felt somewhat melancholy.

For celestial beings, the dissipation of the spirit body represents complete death, and due to its special nature, they may not even have the opportunity to go to the Land of the Dead.

Strictly speaking, both the main family of Asabu and the branch family of Kurokawa share the same ancestor.

They share the same bloodline and are both priestesses, so it's hard not to feel something for each other.

"Wait!" Misaki Mei's voice was filled with surprise: "On your head!"

"Ok?"

Chao Wufang was confused and subconsciously looked up at the top of her head.

The warm, fuzzy feel immediately came from my palm.

"Oh, you mean those cat ears? It's just the curse manifesting itself. Perhaps it's because Yato-gami is right in front of us."

Compared to Misaki Mei, Asatake Yoshino herself seemed completely unfazed by the situation.

This has happened several times in the past.

The aftereffects of the curse that Yato-gami left on the Asabu family are not only that every priestess does not live past the age of thirty, but also that they are like this now.

When it comes into contact with strong foul air, a pair of cat ears will suddenly pop out from the top of its head.

At first, she found it very difficult to get used to, but now she's gotten used to it.

However, something is quite strange.

In the past, when these cat ears appeared, the curse within her would also erupt, causing her extreme pain and discomfort. But why does she feel nothing now?

So much so that she wouldn't have realized it even if Misaki Mei hadn't reminded her.

He lowered his head thoughtfully, looking at the divine sword that Kujo Toru had given him.

Could it be that it was suppressed by this spirit blade?

Turning to look at Kujo Toru, he found that he still hadn't moved, but a glint of light appeared in his eyes as he quietly observed the serpent god in the sky.

Has Lord Kujo discovered something?

Thinking to herself, Asahi Yoshino also activated her spiritual vision, just like him, and looked at the sky.

Kujo Toru paid no attention to her actions, but instead stared intently at the flow of foul air in the sky.

He is searching for the true form of Yato-gami.

The enormous, mountain-like figure in the clouds looked terrifying.

But in reality, it was just an illusion formed from filth; the true form of this evil spirit was hidden elsewhere.

It seems that its experience during the Warring States period made it more cautious.

As for how he made that judgment, it's actually quite simple.
