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

However, she soon realized that her idea was ridiculous.

After all, they all joined in the campaign against Ame-no-Kurakumo, so isn't this the only right thing to do?

"what happened?"

Kujo Toru walked up a short distance and found Kikyo still standing in the same spot, which puzzled him.

"fine."

Kikyo was too embarrassed to voice her extraneous thoughts, so she simply shook her head and followed behind him.

Upon arriving at the plaza in front of the shrine's main hall, you'll immediately see a figure dressed in the same shrine maiden attire standing beside the purification basin, vigorously wielding a wooden stick in the style of kendo.

Er Yi Wu Qi Jiu Liu is Yi Qi Ri He.

Even though she felt somewhat apprehensive because of what happened to the Higurashi family, she still diligently practiced kendo.

In any case, only by becoming powerful enough can I help Master Kujo.

The girl never wanted to experience again the feeling of having to watch helplessly as Kujo Toru went to fight Ama no Kusanagi while she could only stay in the village in frustration.

"You've made rapid progress."

A familiar voice, one that I hear in my dreams every night, came from beside my ear.

Although they had just spoken recently and she knew the other person would be returning to the shrine soon, Hiyori Iki was still quite surprised and looked up when she actually heard it:

"You're finally back, Lord Kujo!"

If it weren't for the consideration that a shrine maiden should maintain due respect for the deity she serves, she would have already put down the stick and hugged it directly.

Kujo-sama is back, and I feel safe now!

Book 1: Chapter 221 (6K) Praising the Sun

However, when Hiyori Iki's gaze fell on the shrine maiden accompanying Toru Kujo, her expression hesitated slightly:

"Kagome?"

But she quickly realized what was happening.

Despite their similar appearances, Kagome Higurashi possesses a calm and serene demeanor that is something Kagome Higurashi could never have.

The look of surprise on his face deepened:

"Lady Kikyo?! How did you get here?"

Hiyori Iki still held Kikyo in high regard, as she taught him the necessary knowledge for a shrine maiden and guided his training.

More importantly, she had always thought that only people like herself and Kujo-sama who traveled from the modern era to the Warring States period could travel back and forth, but she never expected that Kikyo could actually come to the modern era from the Warring States period.

"Yes, I came with Kujo."

The priestess nodded, then scrutinized her closely, a barely perceptible smile appearing at the corner of her lips:

"You've made rapid progress."

In her vision, Hiyori Iki's spiritual power was noticeably stronger, indicating that she should be able to begin to control the power contained in her left eye.

Kikyo already knew from Kujo Tetsu that although fifty years had passed in her time, it was only about a week in the modern era.

The fact that Hiyori Iki has been able to achieve this level in such a short time shows that she has indeed been training very diligently.

"No, I'm still too weak."

Iki Hiyori was a little embarrassed, but then realized what was happening and quickly led the two of them to the back hall.

For the past week, since she didn't know exactly when Kujo Toru would return, she made up an excuse to her family and stayed at the shrine.

The rear hall was also furnished with a lot of furniture, giving it a distinctly girlish feel.

At least from the clothes scattered all over the floor, it's clear that Hiyori Iki truly considers this place her home.

"Excuse me, Lord Kujo, could you please wait a moment?"

Blushing, she uttered those words and then rushed into the room, frantically starting to tidy up. Kikyo simply went over to help.

Kujo Toru wasn't very interested in this kind of thing. He stood outside the door, looked up in one direction, and squinted his eyes.

The sun was shining brightly, and there were no extra clouds in the clear sky.

It looked like a very ordinary and peaceful scene.

But he always felt that something was there.

This feeling is strange, inexplicable, and without any basis.

Kujo Toru did not ignore it because of this; instead, he silently kept it in his heart.

Although the Salvation Society committed many evil deeds under his name, spreading the faith in this way actually gave him some of the qualities of a deity.

The inspiration to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune is precisely one of the characteristics of deities.

So he was certain that something existed there.

However, we'll have to wait until after we've dealt with the Salvation Society to see if we'll have time to explore it further.

In addition, the voices of Hiyori and Kikyo inside the room reached his ears in every detail:

"I think I've seen you wear this before. It seems to serve the same purpose as the kosode, right?"

"Yes, without this, wearing a shrine maiden outfit for activities will cause a lot of chafing." After answering Kikyo's question, Hiyori Iki asked in return with a curious question:

"That's right. This didn't exist during the Warring States period. So how did Lady Kikyo usually do it? Kosode probably couldn't be secured properly either."

"Just wrap it with a cloth inside."

Even when discussing this topic, Kikyo's tone remained calm.

Although she knew that with Kujo Toru's physical abilities, he was perfectly capable of hearing their conversation.

"How about I go shopping with you sometime to buy a few items? These are much more comfortable than a bra."

"Then trouble you."

"No trouble at all, Kikyo-sama, you've taught me so much, it's all my duty."

After saying that, the girl's bare feet stomped on the tatami mat, making a thumping sound. Then, the door was opened.

The once messy back hall is now spotless, and Kikyo is sitting quietly next to the tea table.

Kujo Toru walked straight in, sat down opposite Kikyo, looked at Iki Hiyori, and asked a question he had wanted to ask from the beginning:

"Where are Yato and Bishamonten? I haven't seen them."

It's impossible for Yato to start posting flyers and unclogging toilets again just a week after the incident with Ama-no-Kumara and Ebi-no-Bang.

But upon closer reflection, Kujo Tetsu suddenly realized that, given Yato's personality, this possibility was quite high.

Fortunately, Hiyori Iki's words denied the possibility of such a thing:

"Yesterday, Lord Bishamonten said that he had discovered something very serious and needed to return to Takamagahara to report to the heavens. He asked Lord Yato to keep an eye on it for him."

"Didn't it specify what it is or where it is?"

Kujo Toru pressed for an answer, only to be met with a shake of his head from Iki Hiyori.

After a moment's hesitation, he continued:

"What about Xiao Fu?"

"Lord Ebisu also went with Lord Yato."

Even that unlucky god went along? It seems that what Vaishravana discovered was indeed very serious.

Kujo Toru seemed to be deep in thought.

He still remembers that Xiao Fu's full-force strike with her black weapon could open the gates of the underworld, and she herself could punch away forty lost years.

If it's gotten to the point where we need to pull her over, then at least a crisis like the Wind Cave erupting in the city must have occurred.

Could it be related to Kamiya?

If that's true, then it certainly deserves to be dealt with in this way.

Unfortunately, unlike Hiyori Iki, he had no way to contact Yato and Bishamonten, and could only wait until they returned.

"So, what exactly is troubling you so much?"

Kikyo looked at him, a rare hint of confusion on her face:

"Those you just mentioned, are they all gods?"

"They are gods, but they might be a little different from what you imagine."

After Kujo Toru finished speaking, he explained to Kikyo to prevent the shrine maiden from feeling disappointed when she saw Yato and other gods who might not even be as powerful as her.

After all, apart from Amaterasu Omikami, who resides high in Takamagahara, none of the gods he has ever seen resemble gods at all.

He would believe it even if they were simply humans who inherited the name of a god.

If it weren't for Tsukiyo showing off his skills during the battle against Ame-no-Kurakumo, he probably would have thought that all the gods in this world were like that.

But this also makes Kagami Kuya's work even more valuable.

The back hall fell silent.

Hiyori Iki and Kikyo were trying to process the information that Toru Kujo had just said.

"The humanoid figure that Tsukuyomi created based on Amaterasu's appearance gained consciousness, stole Tsukuyomi's divine body, ran to Ashihara no Nakatsukuni, and even became a demon..."

The priestess couldn't help but pinch her brow; she was genuinely experiencing a headache.

She should have known long ago that the last time she was with this living god, she was dealing with the demon sword Kusanagi. How could the guy she was dealing with this time be simple?

But this is far too complicated, as it involves two of the three noble sons at once.

This guy is really...

On the contrary, Hiyori Iki's attention drifted in a very strange direction:

"Gami Kuya has such a powerful background, why was she sealed away? Was that mage really that powerful?"

"They must have just fallen into demonhood and aren't familiar with their abilities yet," Kikyo calmly analyzed the situation.

The monk Miyabi, who sealed away Kaguya, was someone whose name she had heard of when she was still studying at the Onmyōryō.

He was indeed a very powerful mage; legend has it that his left hand could open the gate to the underworld.

If he had sealed away the powerful Kamiya with his own strength, Kikyo would have breathed a sigh of relief.

This shows that even the god Kuya is nothing special.

She was confident that if Master Mi Bao could do it, she could do it too.

But could Kamiya, who could make Kujo Toru so serious, be so simple?

"Yes, but the main reason is that the Heavenly Feather Robe wasn't on her at that time."

Kujo Toru recounted the information that Tsukiyomi had given him.

Kaguya was sealed away after the villagers stole her Heavenly Robe, which led her to massacre the village in a fit of rage.

If the Heavenly Feather Robe had been there at the time, let alone sealing it, it would have been a miracle that Master Mi Bao even had time to think about where he would be buried.

After all, that was Tsukiyomi's divine body.

"So, the first thing she needs to do after breaking the seal is to find the Heavenly Feather Robe and reclaim her full power, right?"

Kikyo shared her speculation, and Kujo Toru nodded in agreement.

Kaguya is determined to retrieve the Heavenly Feather Robe, not only to regain her power, but also because it is an essential step for her to replace Tsukiyomi and steal the Night Food Plains.

In "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter," Princess Kaguya sets five challenges for her suitors. After being guided by the messenger of the Moon Palace, she leaves behind the elixir of immortality and ascends to heaven wearing a heavenly robe.

However, in reality, Tsukiyomi never began to degrade herself to the mortal realm and transform into Princess Kaguya, and the story of "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" never actually began.

This, ironically, gave Kamiya the opportunity and a grand ceremony that combined the deception of reality with the truth of reality.

If she finds the five treasures recorded within and throws them into the Fuji Five Lakes, she can then don the Heavenly Feather Robe and regain her immortality.

At that time, she will completely replace Tsukiyomi, who is sleeping in Kujo Tetsu's body, and become the new Lord of Night Food.

"So, neither Amaterasu Omikami nor Tsukuyomi intends to get involved in this matter?"

Hiyori Iki was somewhat speechless. How could these two great gods remain calm in a situation of this magnitude?
