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

Turn your head to look to the right.

It was a vast expanse of wasteland, separated by rusty wire mesh and roads.

The square-shaped waste treatment plant lay dormant in the darkness, resembling a giant urn.

Several high mountains are scattered around the urn.

That was the unprocessed garbage left behind by Yiqi and Yueyi before the shutdown.

The last time she came here, she was filled with excitement and curiosity.

I never expected that when I came here this time...

"Ugh."

Ruri Gokou sighed softly.

Perhaps because she was ready to accept it calmly, she felt a sense of relief.

"Found it, this is it."

In the darkness, she felt a gap in the wire mesh.

She cut it open specifically when she came last time.

After all, the wire mesh was too high, two or three meters high, and she, as a girl, simply couldn't climb over it.

Her petite figure resembled that of a black cat, and she nimbly slipped through the opening.

Then they jogged and disappeared into the long-abandoned waste treatment plant ahead.

Just as she stepped inside.

On the highway, the muffled sound of engines echoed in the air.

A black Toyota Crown blended into the night and rapidly approached.

The car was moving very fast, kicking up sand and gravel from the ground.

Yukino's hands were tightly bound behind her back with cable ties.

Three young men were staring intently at her.

Managing Director Muto, meanwhile, sat in the driver's seat, driving attentively.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Haruno, I had no choice. I'm short of money, and Mr. Sonegaya was able to give me the money."

To avoid attracting attention to what was happening inside the car, he did not turn on the reading lights, thus giving Yukinoshita Haruno room to maneuver.

The vehicle's shock absorption system bounced violently on the gravel road.

Yukino's body swayed with the movement of the train carriage.

Using this swaying motion, she slowly and deliberately slid her right hand, which was tied behind her back, toward her skirt pocket.

And her phone was right there.

He didn't speak.

But Managing Director Muto continued speaking.

His eyes darted around, clearly showing he felt guilty.

"But don't worry, we've already agreed that you won't be in any danger. Mr. Sonegaya just hopes you can stay here for one night."

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

Volume 1: Chapter 66 I'm quite proud of myself.

The divination by that goddess using tarot cards was indeed correct.

Yukino sighed softly.

She truly hadn't expected that Managing Director Muto would be bribed by that guy, Soneko Yasuzo.

Furthermore, using the Ashikawa Group as a pretext, they lured her to Chiba Park and ultimately kidnapped her.

You really have to pay attention to the people around you...

Thinking to herself, she leaned back against the cushion to conceal her hand movements and turned to look out the window.

Seeing that Yukino Yukinoshita remained silent, Managing Director Muto also lost interest in speaking.

Focus on driving and get to your destination.

The carriage fell silent immediately.

Large sections of wire mesh were laid along the highway.

All that could be seen were small mounds resembling graves lying prostrate in the darkness.

Yukinoshita felt the cold touch on her fingertips and breathed a sigh of relief.

She painstakingly pulled her phone out of her skirt pocket.

She vowed that once she was out of trouble this time, she would definitely carry a keypad phone with her.

This crappy smartphone is too heavy.

The crescent moon hangs in the sky.

Wisps of thin clouds enveloped the surroundings.

As the heavy night fell, even the car headlights seemed to dim considerably.

Managing Director Muto squinted as he carefully observed the road ahead.

He's getting on in years and his energy is waning.

Suddenly, a dark figure appeared in the headlights.

Before he could even see clearly, the Toyota Crown had already run him over.

squeak!

The screeching sound of brakes rang out.

The inertia caused the people in the back seat to slam heavily against their seats.

Yukino took out her phone and hid it behind her back, then pressed it down firmly to prevent the screen light from leaking out.

Executive Director Muto stood by the car door, looking up in the direction the car had come from.

The asphalt road was completely empty.

They went around to the front of the car again but found no signs of a collision.

"...Didn't you bump into anything?"

He was somewhat suspicious.

I just saw a dark figure dart in front of the car.

It's about knee-high, like a child or some kind of animal.

The night breeze swept by, heading straight into his collar.

Along with it came a faint stench of rotting garbage.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt like the sound of the wind was like someone crying.

Just then, the back window opened, and the young man curiously poked his head out:

"what happened?"

The other two, like him, also went over to watch the excitement.

Instead, they simply tossed Yukinoshita Haruno aside.

Amateur.

This is Yukino's assessment of them.

At the same time, it also made her feel a great sense of relief.

Being an amateur is good; being an amateur gives her the opportunity to call for help.

If it really was a professional that Kozo Soneya found from abroad, then she can only give up now.

But why would a cunning old fox like Soneya arrange for these three amateurs to kidnap him?

Yukinoshita Haruno had a doubt in her heart.

But his hands didn't stop moving at all.

Relying on his strong memory and habits, he estimated the location in his mind and began to unlock his phone.

The phone vibrated slightly and unlocked successfully.

Her face showed no expression whatsoever.

The dial key... should be in this position.

Should I call the police station directly?

Yukino Yukinoshita immediately ruled it out.

The reason is simple: when the police answer the phone, they will immediately ask what happened.

Even if these people were unprofessional and didn't even take her phone away, they could definitely hear voices in such a small space inside the carriage.

Once it's discovered that she notified others, her phone will definitely be confiscated, and Muto will be moved to a different location.

At that point, there really won't be any other options.

With that in mind, Yukino Haruno already knew who to call.

Fortunately, I was just about to call that guy today, and the number is automatically at the top of the dial pad, so I don't have to worry about not being able to see the screen and dialing the wrong person.

He estimated the approximate location in his mind and then pointed with his finger.

Hopefully, that guy will understand what she means.

"It's nothing, I must have been too nervous and my eyes were playing tricks on me."

Managing Director Muto shook his head, finding a plausible reason for himself.

He worked at Yukinoshita Realty for nearly thirty years and witnessed firsthand the journey of Yukinoshita Haruno's mother from taking over the family business to the present day.

If this were during the Warring States period, he would have been a retainer of Yukinoshita.

Now that he's become an inside man and has even followed Sone Koyasuzo's orders to kidnap the next head of the family, he's actually suffering from severe mental exhaustion.

Moreover, he was very aware of the power of the Yukinoshita family.

Although they can't compare to the top aristocratic families in Tokyo, they still wield considerable influence in Chiba City.

After this matter is completed, leaving him with only one option left is to go abroad.

I sat back in the driver's seat, pressed the clutch, and continued driving.

A young man with dyed yellow hair grinned and approached.

“Sir, if you’re not feeling well, I’ll take over driving. Driving while fatigued is not a good idea; be careful not to drive straight into the ditch and overturn.”

"Don't worry about me, just keep an eye on Miss Yang Nai."

Managing Director Muto glanced at him and replied coldly.

He also looked down on these three blond-haired young men.

They were even puzzled as to why Sonegaya had chosen these three people to handle such an important task.

Even though the other party was a member of the Ashikawa Group, they provided crucial information, which is why Yukinoshita Haruno was successfully tricked out.

However, he felt that these petty thugs who had no loyalty or sense of honor could be easily dealt with by giving them a couple of sums of money.

To his surprise, Sonegaya specifically instructed him to have these three people accompany him to keep an eye on Yukinoshita.

However, none of these things concern him.

All he needs to do now is complete his mission, collect the money, and leave the country.

"Don't worry, don't worry, we're very skilled at kidnapping people."

The blond-haired man casually waved his hand.
