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

The black crop top perfectly showcased her curves, and the bracelet and earrings sparkled in the sunlight, making Yui's eyes sting a little.

Her beautiful face was full of mockery.

"Is that so? As expected of Miss Miura, you've forgotten your junior high school classmates so quickly. Kyoko Toda, do you remember now?"

"I can't remember."

The repeated perfunctory responses caused the visitor to lose their smile.

Kyoko Toda took a deep breath, calming herself down.

"That's true. After all, defeated opponents don't deserve to be remembered."

After saying that, she chuckled softly, her hand, painted with glittery nail polish, reached into her skirt pocket and pulled out a bright red envelope, her smile radiating smugness.

"But in love, I won, love letters, oh love letters."

"Someone as arrogant as you probably hasn't received it yet."

Successfully, he saw a gloomy look on Miura Yumiko's face, while Toda Kyoko smiled happily.

"I wonder who's so bold as to invite me to meet them at Chiba Park to confess their feelings. Considering they have such good taste, I'll be more careful about rejecting them later."

After smugly tossing out a remark, the other person walked back in the direction the two had come from.

"This woman is still such an idiot."

Yumiko Miura watched her departing figure and squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth.

This woman was one of her friends back in junior high, but unfortunately she wasn't very bright and actually fell for that guy, Kujo Toru.

She even wrote him a love letter to confess her feelings, but he completely ignored her.

Afterwards, this woman actually believed that it was because she was too outstanding that Kujo Toru failed to take a liking to her, and from then on, she wanted to compete with her in everything.

The matter was not resolved until the other party failed to get into Zongwu High School after graduating from junior high school.

"Boring bragging."

Gritting his teeth.

Seeing the streetlights turn green, Miura Yumiko called out to Yuihama:

"Let's go."

Volume One: Chapter Thirty-Eight - The Park

Isn't this showing off boring?

Kyoko Toda admitted that it was indeed very boring.

It's like showing off your Pretty Cure toys to your deskmate when you were in elementary school.

But it's really quite pleasant to be around.

Humming a tune, her steps became a little lighter.

"That woman Miura, does she really think I can't see through her feelings for Kujo Toru...?"

Two years have passed since her failed confession, and Kyoko Toda has long since let it go.

She had completely realized that as long as she dressed up beautifully enough, boys would naturally like her.

Since she started dressing up in high school, more than a dozen boys have confessed their feelings to her.

As for Kujo Toru? Ha, just a mistake he made when he was young and naive.

"I wonder who wrote me this love letter this time?"

Kyoko Toda tore open the bright red envelope and read its contents again, a wide smile playing on her lips.

He actually wrote so many words of praise for her. If the other party is relatively wealthy, then let's give him a chance.

I just happen to need a wallet that can make payments independently.

The four gilded characters of "Chiba Park" on the sign reflected the afternoon sun, making them particularly dazzling.

Kyoko Toda raised her right hand to shield her eyes and happily stepped into the park.

The green leaves shimmered in the sunlight.

The sounds of birds and cicadas mingled together.

It felt as if I could smell the sweltering heat of midsummer.

It was filled with the leisurely atmosphere of the afternoon.

For some reason, there wasn't a single person in the park.

Kyoko Toda didn't pay attention; perhaps it was because it was too hot that no one came to the park?

We gradually ventured deeper into the park.

The surrounding trees began to increase in number.

The crooked branches cast strange shadows on the ground.

Like someone struggling in pain.

Several crows suddenly darted out from the branches.

The scarlet eyes stared at Kyoko Toda below, startling her.

Through the gaps in the dense bushes, one can vaguely see broken golden scales rippling.

That was a small artificial lake dug during the construction of Chiba Park, only about 20 or 30 meters in diameter.

It was also the meeting place indicated in the love letter.

"She still understands romance quite well."

Kyoko Toda nodded in satisfaction.

A confession by the lake is indeed very romantic.

It would be even better if we could meet at night, under the moonlight.

Stepping out of the bushes along the path, a cool breeze carrying moisture immediately hits you.

Kyoko Toda couldn't help but rub her arms together.

Large white clouds drifted over, obscuring the blazing sun in the sky.

The lakeside became gloomy.

The swing began to sway on its own as the wind blew.

The red paint applied resembles several dried bloodstains.

The leaves rustled.

Her fingers, painted with glittery nail polish, gripped the crimson envelope tightly.

Kyoko Toda finally sensed that something was wrong.

Where is the person I was supposed to confess to?

The lake shore could be seen at a glance, and there was no one else there except her.

There was a strange noise coming from the bushes behind me.

Kyoko Toda quickly turned around, but all she could see was a black figure.

And a shiny baseball bat.

next moment.

She completely lost consciousness.

-----------------

"Kujou-no-ji, you don't look too well today."

The goddess was still wearing that black hooded outfit.

After carefully examining Kujo Toru, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Although her psychic abilities are limited, she can see many things.

Not only vengeful spirits, but also some spiritual and divine power can be seen.

This is also why she went to the Qingfu Taisha Shrine for help for her apprentice back then.

The reason is that Seifu Taisha Shrine is located right in the center of Chiba City.

Even she could clearly see the divine barrier that almost connected the entire world.

Solemn and dignified.

Even ordinary people without any spiritual abilities will instinctively feel its majesty and subconsciously avoid it.

This is why, despite its large area and central location, Seifu Taisha Shrine remains sparsely populated.

At this moment, Kujo Toru's spiritual power was almost invisible to her; she could only barely see a trace of it when she concentrated.

When Mingming came last week, she could still see a little bit.

"It's nothing, I just went to bed a little late."

Kujo Toru yawned and casually pulled out two strings of prayer beads from behind his back.

"Should I get a luck-enhancing bead or a calming bead this time?"

The goddess shook her head and slowly spoke:

"May I be so bold as to request a sword for purification?"

Kujo Toru's expression turned serious.

A luminous light shone deep within his pupils as he carefully examined the goddess.

There was nothing unusual about the clothes.

There was neither resentment nor foulness.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly spoke:

"You've run into trouble? As a loyal customer, donate 500,000 yen and I'll take care of it for you."

"Kujou-no-ji, forget about it, I will not make offerings to you."

The goddess narrowed her eyes and smiled like an old fox.

Seeing her expression, Kujo Toru knew that the offering fee was out of the question again.

I don't know why they are so resistant to making offerings. They are worshipping legitimate gods, not some random evil spirits.

Although I searched through all the classics, I couldn't find his name.

"A sword purification scroll costs 200,000 yen, but you have to explain its purpose clearly."

Kujo Toru put down his prayer beads and picked up a piece of white sandalwood paper that had been cut into the shape of a small sword.

The sword purification scroll is similar to the paper purification scroll he gave to Yukino Yukinoshita.

They all use Yin-Yang techniques to seal the spirit within white sandalwood paper.

It can protect itself when attacked by non-human entities.

The difference is that the paper exorcism seals a wisp of his spirit, while the sword exorcism seals a wisp of the spirit of the divine sword, Kujima Kanesada.

However, after the spirit is sealed inside, it will cause some damage to the original spirit, and it will take several days to recover.

Therefore, he doesn't have much stock on hand.

"Actually, I asked for it on behalf of an old friend of mine, who is a folklorist."

The priestess nodded, knowing that Kujo Toru's request was perfectly reasonable, and there was nothing to be ashamed of about it, so she explained everything in detail:

“He’s going to Kyushu to do some research in a while. He said there’s a village there with very unusual customs. I was worried something might happen to him, so I decided to get him a copy.”

Kujo Toru nodded.

So he's a folklorist, which makes it no surprise; that's practically a standard feature in horror movies.

Moreover, in Kyushu, high emotional intelligence is like a selenium-rich natural oxygen bar, while low emotional intelligence is like a poor, remote mountain village.
