In this crossover anime, I fight against the supernatural in my everyday world.

"What is it?"

Ye Xing suppressed her smile, stood up, walked to the window, looked at the continuous downpour outside, and spoke softly.

"The condition under which we come into contact with evil spirits, and the condition under which evil spirits can harm us, is the same: when they know that we can see them."

Then, he changed the subject.

"In other words, if evil spirits cannot confirm that we can see them, they are powerless against us and can only watch helplessly."

"So, the initiative to start the battle is not in the hands of the evil spirits, but in our hands. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, even the slow-witted Yotsuya Miko finally understood the purpose of the so-called training.

"In other words, as long as we can ensure that we don't reveal any flaws under any circumstances, then we will always maintain the initiative?"

"exactly."

Yohoshi's view on the relationship between humans and evil spirits is exactly the opposite of Yotsuya Miko's.

In Yotsuya Miko's eyes, evil spirits are the ones who have the upper hand.

For a spiritualist like her with the ability to see ghosts, the only way to survive is to constantly hide, disguise herself, and run away.

But in Night Star's view, evil spirits and ghosts are actually very stupid creatures.

As long as the condition of "seeing" is not triggered, you will never be attacked.

Isn't this just something that's brought up for delivery?

"An evil spirit that you couldn't deal with... this is going to be troublesome."

Miko Yotsuya pursed her lips, looking at the black "S" mark on the map, a hint of worry showing between her brows.

"no way."

Ye Xing, on the other hand, seemed completely unconcerned and simply shrugged.

“When I summoned that ghost hand, I couldn’t use the ability to devour. If it were just those evil spirits from the beginning, even if there were thousands or tens of thousands of them, I could just replenish my power by devouring them and slowly eliminate them. But that turtle... no, that snake-shaped evil spirit, I have to use the ghost hand to deal with it.”

"I see."

Yotsuya Miko nodded, and a strange warmth suddenly appeared in her eyes as she looked at Yohoshi, as if she had finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"To be honest, I was surprised to learn that you also have evil spirits that you can't eliminate, but it also made me realize for the first time that you are just a normal human being like me."

"Yes."

Ye Xing nodded slightly and smiled.

"Human beings have their limits."

"you mean...?"

"If I see this child, I'll stop being human!"

"Don't be crazy."

........

Before we knew it, the peaceful weekend had passed.

Yotsuya Miko's daily life can be described as extremely fulfilling.

Training, training, and more training.

Now she can do it without flinching, picking up fish balls with chopsticks and steadily putting them into her mouth amidst the surrounding evil spirits and the occasional jump scare.

As a famous quote once said by a certain pink-haired female ninja.

Lady Tsunade, I've finally caught up with them!

happy.

During lunch break, the Supernatural Quantum Mechanics Investigation and Research Club, or simply Supervolume, is in its activity room.

Rio Futaba, dressed in a white lab coat like a scientist, is stirring the freshly brewed coffee in a beaker with a stirring rod.

"May I come inside?"

Hearing the sudden sound at the door, Rio Futaba didn't even look up, but simply replied indifferently.

"This is also your activity room. Come in whenever you want, no need to ask me specifically."

"Well, a transaction is a transaction, and it must be followed."

Yoru replied casually, stepped into the activity room, and sat directly opposite Futaba Rio. Without any preamble, she got straight to the point.

"There's something I need your help analyzing."

"Well, you tell me."

"Is such that..."

Yoruhoshi told Futaba Rio in detail about how she materialized her own soul to fight against evil spirits.

Of course, the vocabulary has been changed to a more childish or chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) style.

"That's it..."

Rio Futaba nodded slightly and raised her hand to push up her glasses.

"So, one protagonist awakens an ability, and now another protagonist also wants to awaken one, so they want to find a way to do so, right?"

"That's it."

Rio Futaba took a sip of coffee from her beaker and spoke thoughtfully.

"After hearing your description, I think the conditions for awakening that ability may not be due to objective reasons."

Is there such a possibility?

"Is it because the two 'protagonists' have different perceptions when facing the 'enemy,' leading to one awakening while the other remains unawakened?"

Episode 033: Yui Yuigahama's Supernatural Request

Ye Xing nodded thoughtfully.

"Well, keep talking."

Rio Futaba stirred the coffee, the stirrer making a crisp sound as it hit the inside of the beaker.

"What I'm about to say might sound a bit far-fetched, but it also falls within the scientific realm of quantum mechanics. Human subjective perception can, in certain situations, influence reality. I don't know if you've heard of an experiment called Schrödinger's..."

"Schrödinger's Catgirl, I've heard of it."

Rio Futaba looked speechless: "That cat is called Schrödinger, but since you've heard of it, I won't go into details."

She picked up the cup, took a small sip of the steaming coffee, held the beaker in both hands, and slowly began to speak.

"Perhaps whether the 'protagonist' awakens their abilities depends on the 'protagonist' themselves and their perception of the enemy."

"I understand. The other 'protagonist' didn't awaken the ability to fight the enemy because she didn't have the idea of ​​fighting the enemy in her mind."

"Huh? You understand what I mean?"

Seeing that Yoru immediately understood her words, Rio Futaba's eyes showed a hint of surprise and astonishment.

She was still thinking about how to explain her thoughts in the simplest and most understandable language.

Surprisingly, Ye Xing was able to understand it.

"It's not something that's hard to understand, of course I understand."

The saying goes well.

Indecision, quantum mechanics.

Even something as simple as puberty syndrome, Rio Futaba can provide a scientific explanation, at least one that sounds very scientific.

Her analysis is worth trying.

Besides, to put it bluntly...

Evil spirits, psychics, the ability to see ghosts, and the materialization of the soul are all very idealistic concepts.

Connecting it to subjective cognition in quantum mechanics might be a very effective solution.

"Thank you, Futaba."

Ye Xing took out the chocolate bread she had just bought at the school supermarket from her pocket and gently placed it on the table.

"For you."

Rio Futaba glanced at the chocolate bread wrapped in a plastic bag and said indifferently.

Do you take me for a child?

"If you say so, then so be it. I won't argue."

Seeing Yoru turn and walk to the laboratory door, Rio Futaba hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but speak.

"that..."

"what happened?"

"If you want to come to the activity room anytime, feel free to come. I don't mind."

Rio Futaba's impression of Yohoshi was that she was a very good-looking person with a severe case of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) who liked to act crazy.

Logically speaking, she shouldn't be good at getting along with this kind of person.

No, a more accurate description would be that Rio Futaba is not good at getting along with anyone.

However, during her two brief conversations with Ye Xing, she did not feel the unease or awkwardness of being excluded from the classroom while watching her classmates chatting enthusiastically.

very relaxing.

This is how Rio Futaba feels when she's with Yohoshi.

Even she herself didn't expect it.

It seems I get along surprisingly well with this chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) teenager?

"Okay, I'll come whenever I have time."

Ye Xing didn't play the tsundere card much, since tsundere has become obsolete.
