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

He spoke in a rather irritable manner:

"Don't even think about it! I just have some connections in the Kendo Federation, but I'm not some powerful young master with connections everywhere! A real sword fight? Have you been watching too many sword movies?! This is modern society! It's illegal!"

Then, he changed the subject: "However, if it's a wooden sword, that wouldn't be a problem either..."

"A word is settled!"

Dongtang Xiuluo agreed very quickly, as if afraid that he would change his mind, and threw the sword pouch in his hand over directly.

The minister was still a little dazed, but instinctively caught it.

The weight and feel transmitted from above made him involuntarily furrow his brow.

He opened the bag and peeked inside; his face immediately fell.

Oh no! We've been tricked!

"So you were waiting for me here."

What was inside wasn't the real swords and knives he had imagined; it was clearly just two wooden knives.

Dongtang Xiuluo stretched, feeling much more relaxed after his worries were resolved.

After hearing the minister's complaint, he mimicked his gesture, tucking his hands back into his haori sleeves, and asked in return:

"You don't think I brought a real sword with me, do you? This is modern society, it won't pass the security check at the entrance."

The familiar words made the minister's face darken.

Finally, unable to resist the itch, he slapped Dongtang Xiuluo hard on the back of the head.

Can't tell who's the king and queen anymore, huh?

As time passed, the blazing sun began to set, and the dark blue night sky enveloped the heavens.

All the lights inside the Fukuoka Hall were turned on, making it incredibly bright and almost dazzling.

On the kendo platform, cleaning staff dressed in uniforms were mopping the wooden floor.

A blower was placed on each side to quickly dry any remaining water stains.

Everyone was working methodically, making their final efforts for the annual Yulongqi finals.

Although it was only a little past seven o'clock, people had already begun to enter the audience seats one after another.

The atmosphere inside the venue is quickly becoming lively.

Dongtang Xiuluo, holding a sword pouch in his arms, leaned against a corner and closed his eyes to rest.

Just looking at the Shinsengumi haori he was wearing and his unusual wolf-tail hairstyle, he had the air of a protagonist straight out of a sword-fighting movie.

After the semi-finals, he shared his thoughts with his teammates again.

After all, he wasn't the kind of sword fanatic who completely sacrificed his emotional intelligence for the sake of the sword. This was a team competition, so he definitely needed to consult his teammates.

He wouldn't act solely out of personal desire if his teammates disagreed.

At worst, we can just try another method, like setting a trap to lure the minister.

As long as you don't give up, there are always more solutions than problems.

However, to his surprise, his teammates all agreed with his idea.

Even though he explicitly stated that this behavior could very likely cause them to lose the championship.

"Anyway, even if we were allowed to go up normally, it would just be speed bumps, so there's no difference. I've won several championships with Dongtang, so losing a Jade Dragon Flag doesn't matter."

"I said even if the minister went up there, he wouldn't be able to force out that third sword of the solo breaking army. In the end, it will definitely be Dongtang who fights him one-on-one."

With a murderous glint in his eyes, he turned to the guy who had just spoken.

You bunch of troublemakers, will you die if you don't secretly smear me or something!

The minister was furious.

However, he really didn't have the confidence to refute his own team members' words.

He knows his own situation well. Although he often criticizes Yokota and his gang, his strength is at best on par with theirs.

We've sparred before when we participated in the Kui Xing Qi and the National Kendo Competition.

Kazama Souto and Sakamoto Heisan were both easily defeated by Kujo Toru, so if he were to go up against them, the outcome wouldn't be much better.

It seems that only Dongtang Shura himself can handle it.

Seriously, where did this kendo monster come from? I've never heard of him before...

Can we win?

After much deliberation, he finally couldn't help but speak up, hoping to gain some reassurance from Dongtang Xiuluo.

However, Dongtang Xiuluo showed him no respect whatsoever, giving him a look as if he were a fool, and bluntly uttered a single sentence:

"Guaranteed to lose."

"You bastard!"

The minister gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

What else can we do? We've already reported it to the authorities, so we can only forgive him!

Are we really going to let him take office, only to have him run over like the nouveau riche in Tokyo and the peasants in Osaka?

Kyoto sir, you really can't afford to lose face like this.

Compared to the atmosphere at Kumiyama in Kyoto, the atmosphere at Kujo Toru's place was filled with laughter and joy.

However, all of them were focused on Yokota Go.

"Shocking! You weren't here in Fukuoka as a tourist? You're actually going to play in a match?!"

Kazama Soto's expression was extremely exaggerated, and his words were full of sarcasm.

Sakamoto Heisen glanced at him sideways and began to explain on Yokota Tsuyoshi's behalf:

"Don't criticize it unnecessarily. Yokota's strategy is quite profound."

Kazama Soto glanced at him and immediately understood what he meant.

A slight smile played on his lips as he pretended to listen attentively.

"Please teach me, Mr. Sakamoto!"

Yokota, who was warming up on the sidelines in preparation for his turn, knew that these two bastards were making fun of him, but he still couldn't help but prick up his ears and eavesdrop.

He himself was unaware of the strategy behind his actions.

They had already discussed it with Kujo Toru back in Soubu High School, and that when they encountered Toudou Shura, he would be the first to fight for revenge.

Could there be a deeper meaning behind this?

"Yokota will give away a point first, and the enemy's morale will soar. They'll become arrogant, and arrogant soldiers are bound to lose." Sakamoto Heisan raised a finger and shook his head.

"And the General Martial Arts Academy has lost points for the first time in this year's Jade Dragon Flag competition. The minister's defeat must be devastating, turning him into a desperate army. But a desperate army is bound to win..."

Yokota Tsuyoshi's lips twitched slightly.

Those two bastards.

"A pair of smiling tigers, two black sharks."

He snorted coldly and ignored them.

It's nothing more than the loser slandering the victor.

Kujo Toru, standing to the side, almost lost his composure upon hearing this.

What kind of new military tactics are these?

Kurokawa Kirizuki excitedly floated around the venue, sometimes running to the audience seats to curiously look at other people's phones, and sometimes running to the kendo platform to stand next to the host and look at the speech in his hand.

For a village girl who had always lived in a remote mountain village and had never even been to school, everything in the city felt very new and exciting.

In particular, the Yulongqi competition, a national-level student competition, perfectly captured her aspirations for school club activities.

Previously, her understanding of these things was limited to her sister's stories; she had no experience of actually being there to watch the game live.

Kurokawa Kirizuki only calmed down and returned to Kujo Toru's side when the loudspeakers in the venue started blaring with ear-piercing noise from the microphones.

She transformed back into the gentle and dignified priestess.

He was completely unrecognizable from his previous childlike appearance.

"The final of the Yulongqi Boys' High School Team Competition is about to begin!!"

Without any unnecessary embellishment, just a simple sentence, the atmosphere in the entire venue was instantly ignited.

Everyone looked expectantly at the empty kendo platform.

Without needing to say anything more, they had already begun spontaneously chanting the names of the players they supported.

At her father's call, Kirino Kousaka hurriedly rushed out of her bedroom in her slippers, looking nothing like her usual glamorous self.

He plopped down on the sofa, his face flushed and he immediately began to ask questions:

"Did Kujo-kun win? Did he win?"

Daisuke Kousaka was somewhat speechless:

"It's only just begun, we haven't even gone on stage yet!"

"That's good, that's good..." Kirino Kousaka breathed a sigh of relief, grabbing her messy hair with both hands to straighten it: "I thought I missed Kujo-kun's victory."

"You really believe that Kujo can win?"

Daisuke Kosaka glanced at her sideways, his words tinged with sarcasm.

However, Kirino Kousaka completely failed to notice her father's unusual behavior and replied matter-of-factly:

"What else?" (Two;) Leng Qier, 6th Division of Shaanxi Province, put Q　

Meanwhile, at the Seifu Taisha Shrine, Natsukawa Masuzu and Kousaka Kirino shared the same idea.

Isn't it only natural that Kujo Tetsu won?

In Misaki-cho, the first-floor shop of Misaki Dolls has been emptied, and all the dolls made by Misaki Mei herself have been packed into boxes.

All the lights were turned off, and in the pitch-black room, a curtain was stretched open.

The projector faithfully projected the live stream image onto it.

"I never expected that Kujo was a contestant in the Jade Dragon Flag competition, and he even made it all the way to the finals! And he didn't even tell me. That's so unfair..."

Asano Nana sat down next to Misaki Mei and complained, completely forgetting that Kujo Toru had already mentioned this when the two first met.

However, neither the Mizutani four-person team sitting in the back nor Misaki Mei responded to her words.

Because the final is about to begin.

It was exactly 8 p.m.

The entire Fukuoka Hall suddenly began to shake violently.

Amidst the intense anticipation of the crowd, the dome, which was initially thought to be completely enclosed, began to slowly open with a crack.

The bright moonlight shone straight through and fell precisely on the kendo platform in the very center.

In an instant, the entire kendo platform seemed to be bathed in a soft, flowing light.

The photographer was prepared and promptly took a close-up shot, capturing the beautiful scene.

The host stepped onto the stage, met the audience's gaze, and took a gentle breath to ease his nervousness.

She had hosted the Yulong Banner Festival for several years, but this was the first time she had encountered such enthusiastic audiences.

However, the host was well aware of the reason for this situation.

[Single-handedly breaking through the enemy lines].

Despite being a complete novice who had never participated in a kendo competition before, he fought his way to the finals with absolute strength and the most spectacular results.

Without exception, they all single-handedly defeated the entire enemy team, and never lost a point themselves.

Most viewers who follow kendo competitions are wondering whether he can shake Tenken Todo Shura's dominance in the kendo arena.

and so……

"According to the information we received, the order of Chiba Soubu High School's lineup for this final match has been adjusted, with Chiba's Hachiman and Yokota Tsuyoshi taking the lead."
