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

Kujo Toru changed his posture, straightened his back, and waited for the other party to state his purpose.

"Akiyama Shoji is dead."

Daisuke Kosaka's words were very brief.

However, it contains a great deal of information.

"died?!"

“Yes, just last night in the detention center, we were still collecting evidence against him in preparation for sending him to court for sentencing. But during the routine interrogation today, one of my colleagues found that he had no vital signs.”

Daisuke Kosaka's voice was filled with deep doubt:

"The forensic team just finished their examination. There were no external injuries or internal bleeding. It was simply cardiac arrest caused by shock. However, the surveillance footage showed that everything was normal last night."

After he finished speaking, he added an explanation:

"It's not that I doubt you, because the other party died of natural causes. It's just that you were the one who caught Akiyama Shoji, and you were the one who discovered the crime scene, so you have the right to know."

"I'll come pick you up later and bring you to the station for another statement. Don't be nervous, it's just routine. You're at the shrine, right?"

"Well, I'm here."

Kujo Toru responded and hung up the phone.

He tapped his index finger on the desk.

Volume 1: Chapter 104 Natsukawa Masui's Unique Taste

"I need to go out in a bit, so you can..."

Kujo Toru turned to look at Suzumoto Mayu.

Before he could finish speaking, the other person hurriedly threw down the marker in his hand.

Using both hands and feet, it climbed up his sleeves to his shoulders, then grabbed his collar tightly and wouldn't let go.

It demonstrates one's attitude.

"If you want to come along, that's fine too."

After thinking for a moment, Kujo Toru decided not to forcibly pull her off his shoulder, but instead gave her a warning:

"Don't move around when the time comes. You have to act like a normal doll, understand?"

Suzumoto Mayu nodded vigorously, then lay motionless on his shoulder.

Apart from being a bit ugly and fierce, it looks no different from an ordinary doll.

Then Kujo Toru went straight out the door.

I didn't see Gokou Ruri's petite figure at the torii gate at the foot of the mountain; I wonder where she went to recruit people.

He took out his phone and sent an email to the email address he had just received from Ruri Gokou.

Tell her that you are going out for a while and that the shrine will continue to accept worshippers as usual.

Daisuke Kosaka is very fast.

Within about ten minutes, a Toyota with its red and blue flashing lights came speeding from the other end of the street.

"Get in the car, it'll be quick."

The driver's side window was rolled down, revealing Daisuke Kosaka's serious face.

Kujo Toru nodded.

I opened the back door and got in.

Then a pleasant scent filled my nostrils, and a silver figure lunged at me from the back seat.

"Kujo-kun, it's been a long time!"

With lightning speed, he stretched out his right hand and pressed it against the Blue-Eyed White Dragon's forehead, blocking its attack.

Kujo Toru's face remained expressionless; he was not surprised that Natsukawa Masuzu was there.

After all, she was involved in capturing Akiyama Shoji and even contributed a flying kick.

A new statement should be taken.

But isn't this woman a little too enthusiastic?

Kujo Toru didn't think he was very familiar with Natsukawa Masuzu.

Their only interaction was when he saved her at Haneyama High School, and then their temporary collaboration when Akiyama Shoji attacked Miura Yumiko. That was all.

Is she a frivolous woman?

He sighed inwardly.

He forcefully pushed Natsukawa Masuzu back to her original position and replied calmly:

"It's only been six days since we last met, not long at all."

"It's been a long time for me."

Natsukawa Masaki smoothed her silver hair, smiled smugly, and then began to scrutinize Kujo Toru.

She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Kujo Toru had changed a lot since they parted ways at the police station.

But upon closer inspection, that icy face was exactly the same as before.

His gaze swept over Suzumoto Mayu, who was lying on Kujo Toru's shoulder pretending to be dead, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Kujo-kun, where did you buy this doll? It looks so cute, I want to buy one too."

Upon hearing this, Daisuke Kousaka, who was driving, subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror and immediately looked at Masuzu Natsukawa, who was beaming with excitement, with a strange gaze.

Kujo Toru also gave her a strange look.

Isn't Suzumoto Mayu cute?

She is cute, but that's in terms of her spirit.

With Kujo Toru's perspective, he simply couldn't see what was cute about this strange-looking little bear covered in scarlet stitches.

It can only be said that Natsukawa Masaki's taste is different from that of ordinary people.

"He found it in an abandoned junkyard, even Detective Kosaka knows that."

Daisuke Kosaka nodded: "Yes, I first saw this little bear on Kujo at the kidnapping scene the night before last."

Kidnapping case?

Natsukawa Masaki's gaze swept across Kujo Toru's face.

It seems that quite a lot has happened since we parted ways on Tuesday.

She was very curious.

However, she also knew that given their current relationship, which was at most slightly better than that of strangers, it was impossible for Kujo Toru to tell her everything in detail.

So he didn't pay attention to that and continued to focus on Suzumoto Mayu.

"Kujo-kun, could you give me this doll? I'm willing to pay, you can name your price."

Natsukawa Masaki stared intently at the teddy bear.

His face was full of smiles.

She really liked the doll; its unique and fierce design was exactly what she wanted.

"Sorry, not for sale."

Kujo Toru rejected her outright, then moved closer to the car door, distancing himself from Natsukawa Masuzu.

Then Natsukawa Masuzu saw that the zipper on the teddy bear's mouth was sticking up, and it was giving her a mocking look.

"This doll..."

She exclaimed in surprise, and then Kujo Toru's gaze swept over her.

A chill ran down his spine. He glanced at Daisuke Kosaka, who was focused on driving, and immediately fell silent.

Meanwhile, Suzumoto Mayu, who was still gloating, noticed Kujo Toru's death stare. She immediately felt a chill run down her spine and quickly continued to play dead, not daring to make any further moves.

There were no further setbacks on the road.

Following Daisuke Kosaka to the police station, which felt as familiar as home, Toru Kujo walked towards the room where he was taking statements without needing to be led by him.

During this time, he also greeted several police officers who often accompanied Daisuke Kosaka on police missions.

Upon entering the room, the policewoman, who was sitting in the main seat, also spoke with a smile:

"Hey, Kujo, we meet again. Your outfit today is quite unique, and you even brought a plush toy with you."

"Thank you for your help, Inspector Ando."

Kujo Toru nodded politely and then sat down opposite her, while Natsukawa Masuzu sat on an iron chair outside the room waiting.

"It's nothing, it's just a routine redo. You know the process, it'll be quick."

Superintendent Ando spoke with a smile.

As she said, the rest of the time was basically spent asking the same questions again.

In less than half an hour, the statements of Toru Kujo and Masuzu Natsukawa were taken.

It just so happened to be lunch break time.

Daisuke Kosaka returned from outside the police station, bringing the two of them lunch and cracking a joke:

"Since we're already at the police station, it wouldn't be complete without a pork chop rice."

Crime dramas often feature scenes where suspects are given pork chop rice after interrogation, leading some people to deliberately violate public order regulations just to experience what pork chop rice tastes like in the police station.

However, in reality, it's just the same ordinary model sold in stores, nothing special.

Kujo Toru and Natsukawa Masuzu were having lunch together, with Kousaka Daisuke and Inspector Ando chatting and making sarcastic remarks in their ears.

I'm slowly sorting through the information I've gathered.

It hasn't even been a week since Akiyama Shoji attempted to attack Miura Yumiko, was knocked unconscious on the spot, and handed over to the criminal investigation department.

Moreover, based on Daisuke Kosaka's brief description, the other party's death was very suspicious.

Kujo Toru was very aware of the severity of his actions.

He just managed to knock the other person unconscious; otherwise, he didn't cause any harm.

The most serious injury was probably the kick that Natsukawa Masaki delivered, which knocked out two of Akiyama Shoji's molars.

As for the non-human side, the black raccoon and Hirata Keiko, who had tricked him into committing unforgivable crimes, were already exterminated by him four days ago using the Sacred Ritual of Returning the Sacred Tree.

Logically, this shouldn't be happening.

Has some new inhuman entity intervened? Or was Akiyama Shoji involved in something and was silenced in detention?

With many questions, Kujo Toru wanted to see the scene and the surveillance footage.

Volume 1: Chapter 105 Shoji Akiyama, the Copycat

"Can I see the scene of Akiyama Shoji's death?"

So after the meal, Kujo Toru spoke directly and expressed his thoughts.

Daisuke Kosaka and Inspector Ando exchanged a glance, the latter shrugged, and remained silent.

It's obvious that the decision-making power has been handed over to Daisuke Kousaka.

"You mean, he died an unnatural death?"

Daisuke Kosaka did not immediately refuse Toru Kujo's somewhat inappropriate request.

After spending so much time with him, he had a very high opinion of Kujo Toru.

Despite being often teased for having the "death god elementary school student" physique, Daisuke Kousaka knew that it was mostly because Toru Kujo himself possessed excellent reasoning abilities and keen observation skills.

This is how we can always be the first to discover murder cases.

"We'll only know for sure after seeing it in person."
