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

While the strength of a yokai is not entirely correlated with its size—a powerful yokai is not necessarily very large—a large yokai is definitely not weak.

Although the resurrected Yato-gami has overcome that hurdle and become a great demon, he is definitely powerful.

However, at best, he could only sit at the same table as the fallen clam without the Kusanagi, and compared to the figure in the clouds, he was still far inferior.

This creature is much larger than the legendary Yamata no Orochi; someone unfamiliar with it might mistake it for the dragon god Kurikara incarnate.

However, Kurokawa Kirizuki, who had never dealt with a great demon before, did not notice this.

After receiving spiritual power from the successive generations of celestial priestesses of Kurokawa Shrine, her power has reached its peak.

Barefoot, they left the altar and soared into the sky, disappearing into the clouds.

It stood facing the endless serpent god from afar.

Five-colored ribbons fluttered and danced around me.

His face was filled with coldness.

Without uttering a word, he raised the Kagura bell in his hand.

The Kagura Bell, which looks like it was cast in gold, is divided into three layers, with three, five, and seven bells respectively.

It symbolizes the three noble sons, the five elements, and the seven luminaries.

Shake it gently, and the bell rings softly.

A flash of inspiration, and a clash of blood and lightning.

In an instant, the thick, scarlet clouds collapsed with a deafening roar.

The pitch-black night sky was revealed.

And that ferocious serpent god with its hideous scales.

Author's words

P.S.: Bad news! The author was caught red-handed by the department director for slacking off on writing during the day, received a warning, and was fined 200 yuan! From now on, I'll have to give up daytime updates and instead push myself to the limit at night.

Finally, there's Py, a Type-Moon book, almost a million words long. Type-Moon fans can check it out; the link is below:

"In Type-Moon, I Made Them Regret for Life"

Volume 1: Chapter 204 (6K) Not a moment was spent mourning Kurokawa Kirizuki's death...

The thick, foul air, as heavy as the abyss, collapsed with a roar under the sound of the bell.

It revealed the clear and deep dark night sky behind it.

A new moon hung in the sky, the stars were dim, and the moonlight shone on the massive, mountain-like body of the serpent.

A pure white-clad priestess stood not far away, facing the serpent god from afar.

At the bottom of the barrier lake, which was as smooth as a mirror, the aura of the underworld rose into the sky, sweeping across the entire mortal realm.

The Kurokawa River stopped moving, and so did the air currents.

The entire world seemed to focus on the priestess and the evil spirit.

Asahi Yoshino and Misaki Mei looked pale, but they still raised their heads and tried to look at the scene in front of them that seemed like a myth come to life.

This is a sight rarely seen in modern society.

This is the reappearance of a great monster after four hundred years.

Kurokawa Kirizuki's expression was very solemn. The previous generation of shrine maidens had entrusted all their spiritual power to her, which also meant that they had handed over their responsibilities to her.

She had never seen a great demon, but she had seen related records in some of the ancient books left behind at the shrine.

The Great Demon is a symbol of absolute power.

Throughout history, every great demon has been renowned for its power. To defeat them, not only do countless Onmyoji and priestesses need to work together, but also tens of thousands of troops are required.

For example, Sakanoue Tamuramaro defeated the great demon Ōtakemaru, and Minamoto no Yorimitsu defeated the demon king Shuten-dōji of Mount Ōe.

The most famous battle was the campaign against the Golden-haired, Jade-faced Nine-Tailed Fox, which required eight hundred Onmyoji, three hundred and sixty monks, and hundreds of thousands of troops to completely defeat it.

In this day and age, who can still defeat the great monster?

Kurokawa Kirizuki felt that perhaps he was the only one left.

Therefore, she has to win.

It's not just because of Yatogami, but also because of the entrance to the underworld beneath Daimura.

If left unchecked, both the mortal world and the ordinary world will be completely dragged into the land of the dead.

Perhaps the only good news right now is that this world has long been corrupted by the aura of the underworld and turned into a dead land, with no other monsters or vengeful spirits existing except for Yato-gami.

This allowed her to focus on dealing with the resurrected evil spirit before her.

Without uttering a word, her time was limited; even the spiritual power of past priestesses could only allow her to remain for a short while longer.

Before long, she will be like those witches, her spirit completely dissipating because she has lost the foundation of her existence.

Therefore, we must act swiftly and decisively!

With that thought in mind, Kurokawa Kirizuki had already taken action.

With his left hand stroking the Kagura bell, a burst of spiritual light appeared, and the dazzling three-tiered Kagura bell had quietly changed its appearance.

Above the hilt are eight bells representing the Yasakani no Magatama, and above that is the guard signifying the Yata no Kagami. At the top, a small section of the blade emits a cold light, aimed at Yatogami.

That symbolizes the divine sword Kusanagi, which Susanoo retrieved from the body of Yamata no Orochi after slaying it.

In Shintoism, this represents the conquest of the local gods of mountains and rivers by the side of heaven and humanity.

Unfortunately, Yato-gami was among those who became a vengeful spirit.

In other words, Kurokawa Kirizuki is a country girl who hasn't had much exposure to modern games, otherwise she would definitely know that her current behavior is called "attacking a special attack".

"The shrine maiden of the Kurokawa family..."

As the scales rubbed together, the serpent god lowered its head, its cold, scarlet vertical pupils staring at the priestess standing ready before it, as if it were about to say something.

Although it has been sealed away for so many years, it is not entirely ignorant of the outside world.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the opportunity to approach Kurokawa Misaki and tricked him into completing the Seven Luminaries Yomi Festival under the pretext of resurrecting his son.

However, it doesn't know much.

Even though it has now been fully resurrected and has even reached the level it once dreamed of, Yato-gami is still completely bewildered.

How did I suddenly come back to life?

It originally planned to have Kurokawa Misaki use the Seven Luminaries Yomi Ritual to create a temporary body for itself, so that some of the Shikon Jewel could escape the seal first, and then slowly figure out a way in the real world.

When I woke up, I was inexplicably completely unsealed, and even in my peak condition, without any discomfort.

Even more bizarrely, the person presiding over this ceremony was a descendant of the Kurokawa family, who had been suppressing it all along.

No, if you want to resurrect me, then why did you suppress me for so long? Are you just making trouble here for no reason?

As a vengeful spirit who has lived for over 1,300 years... no, now over 1,700 years, and who even narrowly escaped from the greatest demon of the Warring States period, Yato-gami has no other merits but caution.

Just like after the Taika Reform, when the divine child ordered that all the demons causing trouble in the world could be killed, it decisively ran all the way from Hitachi Province to Mino Province.

Unlike Ōtakemaru, who relied on being the greatest demon of his time to try and fight head-on, only to have his head chopped off by the Shogun.

Although theoretically it could be called the greatest demon of the world, Yato-gami had no intention of running rampant whatsoever.

There have been many great demons in every era, but how many have survived to this day?

So when faced with this strange situation, it only frowned slightly and knew that there must be a problem.

So, the moment he was resurrected, he immediately hid, using the great demon's innate control over foul air and the mortal world to leave a false body in the sky.

I plan to ask this little shrine maiden from the Kurokawa family what's going on first.

However, Kurokawa Kirizuki showed no intention of letting it finish speaking, raising the Hoko-sen-rin, a bell specifically used to exorcise demons, high in his right hand.

All the spiritual energy in his body was poured in.

His left palm brushed across the blade of the sword, which gleamed with a sharp, cold light, and as the bell jingled, it produced a clear, crisp sword sound.

Azure light illuminated the entire mortal realm, cleansing away the pervasive filth and the aura of the underworld.

Vast and mighty, it soars straight into the sky.

Along with the spiritual light, there was also a sword light that seemed to connect heaven and earth, soaring into the sky!

It seemed to pierce the deep night and transmit light to all directions.

This anomaly even directly affected the boundary between the mortal world and the present world, projecting itself onto the outside world.

After spending an entire afternoon settling the Mizutani livestream team into Misaki-cho, a town with very few outsiders, Asano Nana rubbed her aching shoulders and prepared to return to the house the mayor had helped her rent.

For a civil servant with a 9-to-5 job, this was the first time she had been so busy until this late.

However, she didn't have any complaints. Even if we disregard the fact that Mizutani and the others were doing a live stream that was more of a public service, just promoting Misaki Town was enough for her to do her best.

Although I'm not a local, I've been here for two or three years now.

Although the townspeople can be a bit strange at times, they are actually quite simple and honest. Asano Nana loves this place and naturally wants to see Misaki Town get better and better.

It would be even better if it could attract more businesses and tourists, so she wouldn't have to go all the way to Fukuoka just to buy a copy of "Summer Fireworks".

"No need to see me off. There are no strangers in the town, and I know the way very well. I won't encounter any danger."

Stretching, Asano Nana turned her head to look at Mizutani and the others following behind her, waving her hand dismissively.

"Asano-san, you've been busy until so late to settle us in. It's already very impolite of us not to be able to treat you to a meal to repay your kindness. Let us take you home instead."

Mizutani shook his head, declining Asano Nana's offer.

He did feel a little guilty, after all, Asano Nana had arranged everything for him and his group in a very orderly manner and had taken everything into consideration.

Moreover, the other party knows Master Kujo, and it seems that they have a good relationship with Master Kujo.

In every aspect, he wouldn't feel at ease until he got Asano Nana home safely.

"Fine……"

Nana Asano gave up trying to persuade her and accepted Mizutani's offer.

Just then, the only girl in the live-streaming team suddenly spoke, her voice trembling slightly, as if she had seen something frightening:

"Hey! Mizutani! Look at the sky!"

In the sky?

Asano Nana was a little confused, so she looked in the direction the girl was pointing.

Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a beam of azure light that stretched across the sky and soared into the heavens from the distant mountains and forests.

It's like the legendary pillar of heaven.

The scene was spectacular.

She wondered if it was just her imagination, but the scene before her seemed familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

But upon closer reflection, I have no relevant memories.

After thinking for a moment, she ultimately decided to give up, shook her head, and turned to look at Mizutani and the others:

"Someone must be shining a spotlight into the sky."

Although Nana Asano didn't know if a spotlight could shine that high, this explanation was the most reasonable at the moment.

As a public official, she wouldn't be like those amateur science bloggers who try to grab attention by attributing every strange phenomenon to the supernatural.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been assigned to Misaki-cho, this small mountain town, during the initial job placement process.

After all, there are too many strange folk customs in mountain villages like this, and there are also many non-compliant small religions. If we don't carefully screen them, even public officials may go and believe in religion.

To her surprise, Mizutani and the others looked quite grim.

His pupils were trembling, and his face was pale, as if he had recalled some unbearable past.

"It's exactly the same as it was back in Shuangqiu Mountain."

The boy with glasses muttered something under his breath.

Mizutani nodded silently.
