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

Kujo Toru didn't disturb her, but silently took out his phone from his pocket and turned on the screen.

The signal in the upper right corner was no longer a blank space; the time had quietly slipped to past 2 a.m.

It has been almost seven hours since I entered the Tokoyo at seven o'clock and was taken to Kurokawa Shrine by Hone-onna.

He touched his chin.

The first bus from downtown Fukuoka to Misakicho departs at 8:00 AM.

Are we supposed to sit at the bus stop and wait during this time?

Misaki Mei also thought of this, and mustered up her courage to take the initiative to offer her suggestion:

"Why don't you stay at my place for the night? I usually live alone, and there's an empty room on the second floor. Nana sometimes stays there and sleeps there."

"We'll talk about it later. Let me take you home first."

Kujo Toru neither agreed nor refused outright, but gave an ambiguous reply.

Misaki Mei wanted to say something more, but just then Asagi Yoshino opened her eyes, so she could only shut her mouth.

The entire journey was speechless.

The three of them trekked through the mountains under the cover of night.

Although the mountain path was dark and difficult to walk on, and snakes would occasionally dart out when disturbed, these were no obstacle at all for Kujo Toru and Asatake Yoshino.

In about half an hour, the outline of Misaki Town came into view.

The streets were deserted, and the houses on both sides were completely dark, with only the streetlights illuminating the surrounding road.

Occasionally, a few barks could be heard from afar.

Misaki Mei looked preoccupied, but Asagi Yoshino was too excited about the curse being lifted to notice.

Kujo Toru noticed this and roughly guessed the reason.

As they walked to the entrance of the "Misaki Dolls" shop, the dolls displayed in the window looked somewhat eerie under the pale light of the streetlights, making Yoshino Asatake hesitate.

However, Misaki Mei walked up and opened the door as if it were a normal occurrence.

"Are you sure you don't need to stay here for the night?"

"No need." Kujou Toru shook his head in refusal, then consulted Asatake Yoshino: "What about you?"

"I'll just follow Lord Kujo."

For Yoshino Asatake, this question was not even worth considering.

"Is that so..."

Misaki Mei was a little disappointed. He pushed open the glass door forcefully, and the stuffy air in the store immediately began to circulate.

He took a deep breath, looked at Kujo Toru, mustered his courage, and decided to ask the question he had wanted to ask since leaving Tokoyane.

Before she could even open her mouth, she saw a small object being tossed toward her by Toru Kujo.

I took it instinctively.

It is an amulet, with the words "Evil Removal" embroidered on its surface.

Looking up in confusion, all I could see were the two figures walking away.

And the words that came from afar from Kujo Toru:

"If you have time, you can come to Seifu Taisha Shrine in Chiba City."

Purification Grand Shrine...?

Misaki Mei lowered his head, and his left eye, which could see things that ordinary people could not see, could clearly see that the amulet in his hand was emitting a warm spiritual light.

It was completely different from the handicrafts she obtained from other shrines.

He carefully put it back into his pocket, then turned and went into the store.

Although Kujo Toru didn't say it explicitly, she felt that this sentence was a deliberate answer.

and so.

She plans to sell the shop during this period and move to Chiba.

"Lord Kujo, can I visit you in Chiba again in the future?"

Asahi Yoshino spoke somewhat shyly:

"I would like to learn more about Shintoism from you."

"can."

Kujo Toru nodded.

Anyway, teaching Suzumoto Mayu is teaching, teaching Iki Hiyori is also teaching, so adding Asatake Yoshino won't make a difference.

Moreover, he had a premonition that the nobleman's arrangements went far beyond Daimura.

I will definitely have to deal with him again in the future.

Judging from the fact that the sword Kusanagi cleaved the heavens of the mortal world tonight, despite the terrifying power of this overbearing sword, it is clear that...

However, it is an undeniable fact that the boundary between the eternal world and the present world is gradually becoming fragile.

Having another true shrine maiden like Yoshino Asatake is a good thing for Hoori Town.

“Okay.” Asagi Yoshino’s expression was very serious: “I will discuss it with my father when I get back, and I will transfer to Soubu High School after the summer vacation.”

You're transferring schools too?!

Kujo Toru was quite surprised at how Asagi Yoshino's thought process had turned to this.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but looking at the girl's smooth, long silver hair and clear blue eyes, he felt that the more he looked at her, the more she resembled a blue-eyed white dragon.

The words that were about to come out were changed:

"Whatever you want."

Just then, two bright yellow beams of light suddenly shot out from the darkness ahead.

Mizutani's voice was carried by the night breeze:

"Master Kujo, are you leaving?"

The streamer they had rescued at Shuangqiu Mountain was leaning against the car window, waving at the two of them.

"Yes, I plan to go to the bus stop to wait for the bus back to Fukuoka."

"I'll drive you there."

Mizutani spoke without hesitation.

In fact, after sending Asano Nana back, he had been sitting in the van waiting, just to send Kujo Toru back.

"Then trouble you."

This time, Kujo Toru did not refuse.

He didn't really want to sit at the bus stop with Yoshino Asagi in the middle of the night, feeling the wind.

"No trouble at all, I haven't even had a chance to repay you for what you did last time."

With the roar of the engine, Toru Kujo and Yoshino Asatake sat side by side in the back seat of the van, which drove out of Misaki-cho and headed towards Fukuoka.

A slight tremor ran under my feet, and the carriage swayed gently.

Kujo Toru chatted casually with Mizutani, who was driving, to keep him from getting sleepy on the road.

It was pitch black outside the window, but the dim light of the reading lamp illuminated the interior of the car.

Not long after, Kujo Toru felt a heavy object suddenly fall on his shoulder, and a warm breeze brushed against his neck.

A faint breathing sound reached my ears, and silver-white hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

Asahi Yoshino leaned against him and fell asleep peacefully at some point.

However, in the end, Yoshino Asatake was shaken awake by Toru Kujo.

Because we've arrived at our destination.

At the entrance of the hot spring inn, Kujo Toru led the still somewhat dazed Asagi Yoshino out of the van.

Mizutani leaned out of the car window and waved at him.

"Master Kujo, I'll head back now."

"Okay, be careful on your way back."

Kujo Toru watched as Mizutani drove his van around the end of the street before turning away.

He said goodbye to Asagi Yoshino and headed towards his room.

It was already very late at night.

The entire hostel was quiet.

Kujo Toru walked alone down the corridor, the light from the wall lamps casting lonely shadows on either side.

The warm, orange light temporarily dispelled my physical fatigue.

This trip to Daimura, whether it was the secrets of the Kurokawa family or the final defeat of Yatogami, was not too unexpected for him.

There are far too many similar evil arts like the bloody Five Hells Secret Technique in Shintoism.

The methods mainly involve using various bloody means to stimulate the four souls of the sacrificer, enhance their inspiration, and thus gain a certain amount of power after the spirit separates from the body.

For example, the secret technique of skinning a living person and then stuffing them with a doll.

There are too many to list.

Even today, some remote mountain villages still retain these primitive and cruel folk customs, all of which are shadows left by these secret techniques.

Although it is virtually impossible for such records to have survived the passage of time, especially after the large-scale bans imposed during the Tokugawa Shogunate and the Meiji period, there are still quite a few records in the records of Seifu Taisha Shrine.

Shintoism and Onmyodo have never been pure things, and Onmyoji who have fallen into demonic ways have been numerous throughout history.

The real problem lies with the influential figure hidden behind the entire Daimura incident.

Their identity, appearance, and purpose are unknown.

The only thing we know is that the other party came to Kurokawa Shrine ten years ago and sealed Kurokawa Kiritsuki, who had just learned the truth.

This completely steered the situation towards the resurrection of Yatogami.

Kujo Toru didn't believe that the other party had only done this one thing a hundred years ago, so after the final exams, he planned to go back to his hometown in the countryside to take a look.

Strictly speaking, the Seifu Taisha Shrine in Chiba City can only be considered a branch shrine.

Because the real Qingfu shrine is actually located in the old family home in the countryside.

Twenty years ago, the former priest moved to Chiba City after marrying Kenshū.

However, the old shrine was not demolished, but remains there.

In Kujo Toru's memory, the two had taken him there a few times before they died in the car accident.

At that time, he didn't have a system or any inspiration, so he didn't feel anything was wrong. He only knew that there were many ancient books left by his ancestors stored there.

But it's time to go back now.

Perhaps we can find some clues in the records of some ancestor.

While he was thinking, he had already arrived at the door of his room.

As I pulled my key card out of my pocket, ready to open the door, I heard the sound of the lock turning behind me.

I subconsciously turned my head and happened to meet the gaze of a boy carrying a plastic bag.

He is Shura Todo from Kyoto Hisamiyama High School.

A hint of surprise appeared on the other person's face; they clearly hadn't expected Kujo Toru to still be awake so late, and couldn't help but ask:

"Just got back?"

"Ah."

Kujo Toru's gaze swept over the plastic bag in his hand, which was filled with empty beer cans.
