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

Who is the person I truly hate...?

"Yato is right here. You can get your revenge by using this favor."

Shangguan Yun seemed to enjoy making things worse, using words to bewitch the other party like a demon.

"I……"

"Hey! Shangguan! You're not really going to betray me, are you?! I just agreed to work for you, how can you bear to lose such a hardworking and capable cheap laborer?"

Hidden inside the house, Yato called out in a low voice, knowing that Shangguan Yun could definitely hear him.

When Yato heard that the other party had asked Bishamon to use that favor against him, he was completely distraught.

He promised to build a shrine for them, but now he wants to help his enemy kill him. Is this guy toying with his own feelings?

That's so heartless...

"Shut up! I'm trying to help you. If it were any other time, this favor might actually come in your lap. I don't want the employees I've worked so hard to hire to not be able to do their jobs properly and to have to worry about being betrayed by their boss."

Shangguan Yun's disappointed voice reached Ye Dou's ears, causing him to pause in his actions.

What does this mean? Is this still helping himself?

Why can't I see it myself?

"Is...is that so..."

Yato nodded hesitantly.

“I want to avenge this myself. It’s not worth wasting Mr. Shangguan’s favor on something like this.”

Finally, Bishamonten's answer relieved everyone.

Apart from Shangguan Yun, everyone else was sweating profusely.

Ai Haibara's small hand tightly held Shangguan Yun's finger, and Vermouth involuntarily leaned against Shangguan Yun.

That was absolutely terrifying.

Although they knew Shangguan Yun was very powerful, they didn't have a clear understanding of it.

And these are all legendary gods!

They certainly didn't want Shangguan Yun to get hurt because of this.

Shangguan Yun patted Ai Haibara's small hand subtly, indicating that she didn't need to worry.

This girl still doesn't believe me.

However, seeing the two of them looking worried, Shangguan Yun felt a warmth in her heart.

These are the real family members.

Finally, after Xiao Fu's somewhat insincere attempts to persuade them to stay, Shangguan Yun and the others took their leave.

"Waaaaah~ Hiyori, I'm so scared~"

After seeing the others leave, Xiao Fu went inside and cried as she rushed towards Iki Hiyori.

Chapter 50 How tragic, Gin!

"How exactly did that Shangguan fellow know that Bishamonten wouldn't use this favor against him?"

Yato muttered something, drawing everyone's attention.

"Yato...Yato, you mean you know that terrifying guy?!"

Yukine stared at Yato in disbelief.

Even this guy got offended by Yato? Was my surrender a bit too hasty...?

What are you thinking about?!

Yato flicked Yukine on the head. "I didn't offend him, and he's my boss now. It won't be long before I have my own shrine! Hahahaha!"

Thinking of this, Yato began to laugh smugly.

"???"

Facing the others' stares as if he were an idiot, Yato coughed twice and explained what had happened to them.

"So, he said that on purpose? His purpose was to prevent Bishamonten from using this favor against you in the future?"

"That should be it... although I don't know why..."

"I think I should have guessed some of it."

Hiyori Iki spoke hesitantly.

"Huh? Xiao Ri, do you know why? Tell me quickly!"

Xiao Fu looked on with curiosity, and the others also looked at Iki Hiyori.

Feeling a little embarrassed by the stares of everyone, Hiyori Iki still voiced her guess: "It's probably Bishamonten-sama's personality. When Kofuku-sama threatened her earlier, she probably already guessed that Yato was hiding here, after all, that idiot made too much of a commotion."

Yato looked embarrassed after being glared at by Hiyori.

"But Lord Bishamonten still didn't choose to take action, probably because he was worried that Lord Xiaofu would really open the Wind Cave. And if Mr. Shangguan asked at this time whether to use that so-called favor, it would still have the same consequences. Mr. Shangguan might not take the initiative to deal with the opened Wind Cave."

"Moreover... I feel that there seem to be many hidden secrets..."

"Wow...that's amazing!"

"Did Kohikari really consider all this?"

"Hiyori, you're absolutely amazing!"

"Sigh... Sigh? I... I was just guessing. I guess only Mr. Shangguan knows the real reason."

Hiyori Iki blushed slightly as everyone praised her.

"So, Yato, you really wanted to own a shrine."

Yukine looked at Yato and could clearly see the deep longing in his eyes when he mentioned the shrine.

"Yes, this has been my dream since I was a child."

'Yato's childhood wish...'

The phrase "Ichiki Hiyori" echoed in my mind.

After confirming that Shangguan Yun was actually an ally, the group began to relax.

"Little Fuku—you actually dared to threaten the terrifying Bishamon...you truly are worthy of being my goddess!"

Big Black shouted loudly, tears streaming down his face.

"Hehehe~"

……

"Ai, how did it feel to see your sister? Were you sad because you couldn't recognize her?"

In the back seat of the car, Shangguan Yun looked at Ai Haibara beside him and asked.

“I don’t feel sad. Seeing my sister living a good life now is enough. Being able to serve the gods is something that so many people dream of.”

"It seems Shirley has grown up too. I thought your mental age had also decreased since you became a child."

Vermouth joked that meeting the legendary god today made her feel that the trip was worthwhile.

She was deeply shaken when she finally discovered that these so-called gods actually held Shangguan Yun in such awe.

"Shut up! No one will think you're mute if you don't speak. Also, don't call me Sherry!"

Ai Haibara and Vermouth seem to be natural enemies, always exchanging a few words whenever they meet.

"I am now a primary school student, unlike some has-been actors who have already started to age and lose their beauty."

Upon hearing Haibara's sharp tongue, several black lines appeared on Vermouth's forehead.

"Shangguan Jun, is that pink-haired girl really the legendary Goddess of Poverty? Have we already been cursed with bad luck? Should we go find a temple dedicated to a God of Fortune and pray..."

Vermouth was somewhat bothered by the title of Goddess of Poverty, never expecting that the legendary Goddess of Poverty would actually be such an adorable little girl.

Of course, the other party's previous behavior was not cute at all; on the contrary, it seemed more like he was scheming.

"Don't worry, you haven't had any contact with her, and she hasn't noticed you. Even if she is a god of poverty, she can't infect you."

Moreover, with him around, even the worst bad luck won't have any effect.

If bad luck alone could affect a powerhouse of his caliber, then he would have been invincible long ago.

After dropping the two off at their home, Vermouth didn't go downstairs with them; she simply said goodbye and drove away.

Gin contacted her and said he needed her to do something.

I heard it's a memorial service for a movie star, and the organization wants to take the opportunity to kill Shigehiko Tobukuro, who might expose their intelligence. I need to help Pisco create an alibi.

Although the organization has now stopped human trials, other operations have not been stopped, after all, current research still requires a lot of funding.

They simply followed Shangguan Jin's instructions to avoid harming civilians, and as for assassinating chairmen or political figures, Shangguan Jin and his team couldn't be bothered with it at all.

There weren't many good people among them. Killing them is fine; what conglomerate doesn't have its hands stained with blood?

So the organization's structure hasn't changed; it's just that the research project has changed. In the past, most people didn't even know what the research was about.

Even Gin, the organization's most loyal retainer, believed that the organization was researching a poison that could kill without leaving a trace.

……

On a remote mountain road, Gin sat in an antique car, a cigarette dangling from his lips, his eyes gleaming coldly.

Anyone who is stared at by those eyes will tremble.

"I really don't know why the organization gave up on hunting down Sherry. What exactly did that woman do?"

Gin's tone was cold, and his voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction, clearly indicating that he did not want to let any of those who betrayed the organization go unpunished.

"Big brother, I heard this was an order personally given by the BOSS. What should we do?"

"Drive your car, vodka!"

Gin was even more annoyed. What else could he do?

The boss has spoken; even if Sherry stands in front of him and provokes him, he cannot draw his gun.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. In addition, his sleep had been getting worse lately, and he kept having strange dreams, which made Gin want to kill someone.

His cold gaze swept across the window, and suddenly his expression froze.

"Vodka, stop the car!"

"Zi-"

The sound of tires rubbing against the ground echoed along the quiet mountain road.

Gin opened the car door, pulled out the pistol from his pocket, and his cold gaze swept over the spot he had just noticed.

"Nobody here?"

Gin circled the area a few more times but didn't see the suspicious figure from before. He was a little puzzled, but he still returned to his car.

"Is something wrong, brother?"

Even when scolded by his older brother, Vodka remained loyal.

This is also what Gin values ​​most about vodka, besides his driving skills.

"It's nothing, let's drive."

Gin said, "I suppose he must have misread it."

How could a woman possibly be in a place like this in the middle of the night?

Just after the car drove away, a tall figure with long purple hair was perched on the trunk of a large tree, just like a spider.

With crimson eyes watching the car gradually disappear into the distance, Rize Kamishiro licked her lips and casually tossed aside the young man whose stomach had been pierced with several large holes.

"That man was quite interesting. I've memorized your scent. The game of hide-and-seek is about to begin."

"Sigh, I'm a little hungry. This world is so boring. Let's find some fun before I starve to death."
