Crossover anime, and you call this a slice-of-life story?

"Let's do it!"

Without much hesitation, and without any intention of talking to the boy.

Their crimson eyes opened, and their kagune emerged from their tailbone, growing down to their feet.

Both of these ghouls have tail kagune, making them highly skilled in mid-range combat.

Using their kagune and the ghouls' powerful physical abilities, they quickly closed the distance between themselves and the blond boy.

"What an impolite guy."

The blond boy showed no fear on his face; instead, he looked with interest at the two ghouls that were about to rush towards him.

"I never imagined that such a creature existed among humans. I've never seen it before in all this time."

He easily dodged the kagune aimed at him by turning to the side, and then kicked another person in the chest with a flying kick.

But it only forced the other party to retreat a few meters.

"Such high defense?"

Although he had only recently possessed the body and was not yet very familiar with the body of the boy named Fujisaki Hiroto, most people would at least vomit blood and collapse after being hit like that.

"It really is a monster. Well then, I'll get a little serious. Come on, Chi weapon!"

A streak of light flashed by, and only then did they see the little girl who had been standing next to the boy.

When the blond-haired boy summoned the dragon artifact, the little girl transformed into a tin staff and appeared in his hand.

At this point, they realized that the prey they had been targeting was no ordinary person, but now all they could do was try to kill the boy. The attack just now showed that the boy was not very strong.

however……

"Pfft-"

A sharp sound of a weapon piercing flesh rang out. Harasaki stared in disbelief at the tin staff that had pierced his chest.

As a ghoul, he was well aware of how strong his body was; even a knife wouldn't leave a mark.

But the tin staff in the boy's hand easily tore through his body's defenses.

With a look of resentment and despair in his eyes, he collapsed to the ground.

Even some powerful ghouls would die if their hearts were pierced, let alone someone like him who wasn't even A-rank.

Matsushita was stunned to see his companion killed in an instant. At the beginning of the fight, they thought the boy was not very strong and that the two of them had a chance to kill him.

But to everyone's surprise, he killed Harasaki with a single blow after picking up the weapon.

Ignoring his companion's corpse, Matsushita turned and fled.

However, Fujisaki Hiroto had no intention of letting him off easily; he wanted to keep one of them to ask him some questions.

Just as he was about to act again, a voice suddenly rang in his ear: "Could you let him go back to his mother?"

"Who goes there?!"

Even with his composure, he felt his hair stand on end after hearing the sudden sound.

In the brief moment he was stunned, the fleeing ghoul had vanished.

This made his face turn somewhat ugly, and anger began to rise in his heart.

He stared intently at the handsome young man who had appeared before him at some unknown time.

"No matter who you are, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll make you understand the consequences of messing with me."

Fujisaki Hiroto's tone was anything but polite. He was very confident in his own strength, and he was not afraid of even Amaterasu Omikami from Takamagahara in front of him.

But Shangguan Yun didn't explain anything to him. He simply said, "You seem to be tainted with the aura of the Underworld. Do those guys from Takamagahara even know you exist?"

Fujisaki Hiroto's expression changed. This guy could actually see the aura of the underworld on his body. You should know that even the gods of Takamagahara had never discovered his existence.

Although he lived a long time ago, some information about him was very limited.

His eyes were only on the high and mighty gods of Takamagahara, completely unaware that there were even more powerful beings.

In the past, he was the one who planned and schemed against all the gods, but today's events were beyond his expectations, causing him to feel uneasy.

His only advantage is his patience; he has existed under the noses of the gods for so many years without being attacked.

"I'm sorry, I was just attacked by those two guys, so I'm a bit annoyed. Since you're your prey, I won't get involved anymore."

Without any embarrassment at contradicting himself, he decisively backed down after realizing he couldn't figure out the other party.

"They run pretty fast, though."

With a flick of his finger, Shangguan Yun caused Fujisaki Hiroto's figure to shatter into bubbles.

The moment he uttered the words "Yellow Springs," the guy had already fled.

Of course, this is also why Shangguan Yun is not willing to spend time dealing with him. Although the other party is not very strong, he has many ways to protect himself.

"Forget it, let them handle the Takamagahara matter themselves. But perhaps we can use this opportunity to repay Bishamonten's favor."

Shangguan Yun has already contacted Bishamonten; getting Ai Haibara to meet her sister won't be an easy task.

As the owner of the divine artifact, Bishamonten had to bear great risks, and even the slightest carelessness could endanger his life.

But he believed that his favor was worth the risk the other party would take. As long as he was well prepared, the chances of something going wrong were very small, and his favor was something extremely precious.

Although Shangguan Yun remained standing in the same spot, his mental energy continued to follow the escaped ghoul.

He ran wildly, passing through several secluded alleyways, and finally stopped at an abandoned processing plant.

"It was hidden quite well."

Shangguan Yun chuckled as he watched the ghoul return to the base looking like it had just escaped death, and then his figure vanished instantly.

Chapter Thirty-Three: The Massacre, Hachiman Wants to Be Saved

"Matsushita, didn't you go to catch someone with Harasaki? Why did you come back alone? Where is Harasaki?"

A ghoul with tattoos on his face looked at Matsushita, who seemed flustered, and asked him a question.

"I ran into a tough guy. Harasaki was killed, and I only managed to escape by risking my life."

"What? Who is this person? Is he one of our own kind?"

"They're not ghouls, they must be from this world, and they're very powerful."

Matsushita said, his face showing lingering fear.

Just as the tattooed ghoul was about to say something...

"Boom—"

A bolt of lightning streaked across the top of the base, then dissipated, revealing a figure standing in mid-air with hands in pockets.

"Did the little mouse find its home?"

A cold voice rang out, and the figure in the sky seemed to be laughing.

The moment Shangguan Yun arrived, he sealed off the entire surrounding space, ensuring that no one would notice any commotion.

Looking at the figure in mid-air, the tattooed ghoul broke out in a cold sweat, his voice hoarse: "Matsushita, is this the guy you're talking about?"

"No... not."

Matsushita answered tremblingly, having no idea when he had offended another powerful figure.

They had seen ghouls that could fly before; ghouls with tunics could fly for short periods of time.

But that figure was hovering in the air by its own power, which defied their common sense.

Moreover, this sense of oppression made them lack even the courage to look the other person in the eye.

It felt like a mountain was pressing down on their hearts, making it hard for them to breathe.

"Isn't that a considerable number?"

Shangguan Yun used his mental power to sense that there were about a dozen ghouls in this abandoned factory, one of which had a slightly stronger aura and was located somewhere underground.

There, Shangguan Yun also sensed a very faint aura, which seemed to be human, but also like a ghoul.

This piqued his interest; he had originally planned to find the ghouls' hideout and wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

But now he has changed his mind.

"Just consider it a way to loosen up your muscles and bones."

Thinking this, Shangguan Yun gently flicked her finger.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning, as thick as a person, fell from the sky and swallowed the two dumbfounded ghouls below.

The loud noise also attracted the other ghouls inside.

Shangguan Yun had already landed in the factory.

The ghouls who rushed out only heard a loud bang and saw the charred ground, so they thought the other side had used some kind of weapon to cause it.

They were completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem.

Upon spotting Shangguan Yun standing in the center, they roared and charged towards him.

Only a few ghouls, sensing something was amiss, quietly retreated, while one guy headed down into the lower space, intending to inform Boss Jason.

With Gecko, an S-class ghoul, around, they felt incredibly confident.

"Ants are still just ants, no matter how many there are."

Shangguan Yun's gaze was cold as he looked at a ghoul that had unleashed its Kagaku attack and rushed towards him. Blinding lightning gathered in his hand, condensing into a lightning sword that shimmered with a bright white light.

With a gentle swipe, the ghoul was instantly sliced ​​in two.

He reached out with his left hand and grabbed a ghoul by the neck. With a little force, he crushed the ghoul's neck, and the head slumped down.

With his extraordinary strength, he dealt with a group of weaklings who hadn't even reached the second tier, resulting in a bloody yet artistic massacre.

Even if a ghoul tries to escape, a figure flashes by and the fleeing ghoul is easily killed.

Screams and roars echoed through the night sky.

If Shangguan Yun hadn't blocked it in advance, there would probably have been hundreds of emergency calls.

Shangguan Yun strolled leisurely into the depths, having already dealt with most of the ghouls there.

There wasn't a single drop of blood on him, as if the slaughterhouse-like scene behind him wasn't his doing.

If the student council members saw this scene, they would never believe that this was the president who usually joked and laughed with them.

Shangguan Yun's eyes now held no trace of pity; his gaze was as calm as an unchanging, deep pool.

He is a gentle and mild-mannered boy when dealing with friends, but he transforms into a cold-blooded judge when dealing with enemies, ruthlessly reaping their lives.

Either way, it's the real him.

……

In a space somewhere underground.

How many have you counted to?

Jason, holding a pair of pliers that were still dripping blood, wearing a green vest, a purple tie with red patterns, and a hockey mask, spoke with a hint of pleasure in his voice.

"Seven hundred...sixty...nine, seven hundred...sixty-two..."

Hikigaya's voice trembled as he sobbed in pain, but remained conscious.

Only one day had passed, but the fear of this issue had already taken deep root in my heart.

The pain of having his fingers and toes torn off countless times, and the despair of being reborn, tormented his heart constantly.

He longed to continue living, to see his sister again, his family, and even the classmates who used to mock him.

Those faces that he once wanted to punch were now considered by him to be the most beautiful things in the world.

But he was really about to break down; his mind was on the verge of collapse. This man was a living demon.

'Why am I suffering like this... Why is this happening to me... Is there anyone... who can save me... Komachi...'

Hachiman once believed that he would rather be the one who gets hurt than the one who hurts others.
