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

"Okay, name a number."

To Yang Nai's surprise, Ye Xing simply waved his hand dismissively, showing no interest whatsoever.

"I'm not short of money."

"Then, what is the reward you mentioned?"

Yang Nai realized that from the very beginning of the conversation, her rhythm had been completely disrupted, and she had been being led by the nose by the other party.

There is nothing we can do about this.

Negotiations are all about the leverage each side has.

She had no idea what Ye Xing wanted, and it was the first time she had encountered something that overturned her worldview. She couldn't think of any effective measures and couldn't take control of the conversation.

"My reward is simple: you must never reveal what you saw or heard today to anyone. Can you do that?"

Hearing this request, Yang Nai breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile.

“No problem. Even if I wanted to tell people, no one would believe me. I don’t want to be seen as mentally ill.”

At this point, Yang Nai took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Ye Xing.

"My name is Yukino Yukinoshita. This is my contact information. If you need anything, you can call me. I will do my best to repay this life-saving grace within my power."

Ye Xing accepted the business card without even glancing at it, simply putting it into his pocket.

"walk slowly."

......

Five minutes later.

As Yotsuya Miko poured high-purity alcohol onto the "door" and lit it with a match, watching it dissipate into plumes of black smoke amidst the flames, the area was finally successfully resolved.

This time, the situation is different from the last time she was at Yui Yuigahama's house.

Last time, she and Yui Yuigahama were pulled into the underworld by Yasakani, who was unable to control the power of the "gate".

This time, it was because the "door" had opened to a certain extent that the entire floor had merged with a floor in the inner world.

If it had been about a week later, the building in the outer world would have been completely integrated with the building in the inner world.

At that time, once you enter this area, there will be no distinction between the inner and outer worlds. Even if the "gate" is dealt with, this area will not return to normal.

Fortunately, the solution was timely.

After the "door" was burned to ashes, the power that had bound the two worlds together disappeared, and the building returned to normal.

"OK, perfectly solved."

Looking at Yoru's languid expression, Yotsuya Miko wanted to ask about the ability to combine the Pale Demon Hand with herself, but with Haruno, an outsider, present, she could only suppress her doubts for the time being.

"Well, let's leave here as soon as possible."

After Yohoshi and Miko left, Yono also forced herself to stand up and left the unfinished building.

When they saw that she actually came out of the building, the construction team leaders were overjoyed.

As expected, it was just an accident, and there were no evil spirits at play.

They were wondering if something had happened to Ms. Yukinoshita, who had been upstairs for almost an hour and still hadn't come down, and were hesitant about whether to call the police.

Thankfully, it seems I was overthinking things.

Looking at the construction team leaders, Yang Nai simply parted his lips and uttered four words in a calm tone.

Construction resumed.

"Understood, Ms. Yukinoshita."

Looking at the respectful demeanor of the people in charge, Yang Nai suddenly felt as if she had been transported to another world.

This should be the world that functions normally in her eyes.

.......

When he got home, Haruno ran into Yukino, who was putting on her shoes.

"Are you going out?"

Yukino's answer was rather bland.

"Okay, let's go to the library."

"Don't come back too late. You've probably heard how bad the security situation in Kyoto has been lately."

"I see."

Just as Yukino was about to leave, Haruno suddenly called her back.

"By the way, construction on that building has resumed."

"That's it."

Yukino's expression remained unchanged, showing no surprise whatsoever, and she had absolutely no interest in the family business.

Her older sister, Haruno, is an outstanding person, one could even call her a genius.

Whether it's studying, horseback riding, aikido, or social skills, she's better than her younger sister.

That's why Yukino couldn't understand.

Why should such an outstanding older sister accept the fate arranged by her mother?

Clearly, she, like me, didn't like this kind of thing.

Why pretend to be someone you're not?

Yukino dislikes fake relationships.

In her eyes, her mother and sister were synonymous with falsehood.

She admires Haruno and wants to catch up with her, but at the same time, she resists becoming Haruno.

"There's something I want to ask you. There are two students from Soubu High School. I don't know if you know them."

Upon hearing this, Yukino turned around and looked at Hinano, saying calmly.

"Why would you ask me about something like this?"

Yang Nai paused for a moment, then laughed self-deprecatingly.

"That's true. Given your personality and style, you probably can't even remember all the faces of your classmates."

"It's just that there's no one I need to care about."

After saying that, Yukino left the house.

After she left, Yang Nai took out her phone, looked at the familiar number, hesitated for a moment, and finally dialed it.

"Beep...beep..."

The phone was answered after it rang twice.

Yang Nai's tone instantly became enthusiastic, and she said with a smile.

"Hey, Xiaojing, it's me."

On the other end of the phone came Shizuna Hiratsuka's annoyed voice.

"I'm telling you, even if you're a college student now, I was still your teacher before. Calling me 'Xiao Jing' is just too awkward, isn't it?"

"It doesn't matter, don't worry about these details."

"Ugh."

Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed helplessly.

"So, you called to check on your sister? Was it a call from her parents?"

"Although I care about Yukino very much, I'm calling this time for something else."

"what's up?"

"In your school, is there a very handsome male student with black hair and black eyes, who is about 1.8 meters tall, and a girl with long black-blue hair, golden eyes, and a rather cute appearance?"

Yang was just trying to ask, but unexpectedly, Hiratsuka Shizuka on the other end of the phone paused for a moment and then gave an affirmative answer.

"You mean... Yohoshi and Yotsuya from my class, right?"

"Oh, is that your name?"

When Hiratsuka Shizuka gave an affirmative answer, Haruno was quite surprised.

She initially thought that Ye Xing had just made up a lie to fool her.

Surprisingly, what they said was true.

Those two people were actually students from Zongwu High School?

In the building his family built, two mysterious figures appeared, fighting against evil spirits. Coincidentally, they were from the same school and the same class as his younger sister.

Is it really that much of a coincidence?

Seeing that Yang Nai on the other end of the phone remained silent, Hiratsuka Shizuka frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

"What, you ran into these two students?"

Yang Nai did not deny it, but of course, she could not tell the truth.

"Yes, Yohoshi and Yotsuya did me a favor, and I owe them one."

"Huh? Help?"

Upon hearing this, Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but chuckle.

"What can those two high school students do to you? You're not kidding me, are you?"

Yang Nai did not reply, but pondered silently in his heart.

She and Hiratsuka Shizuka were not only teacher and student in the past, but also very good friends in private.

She knew this older single woman's personality all too well; she said what she meant.

Even if you were lying, you could never do it so naturally.

It seems that their teacher was unaware that Yohoshi and Yotsuya Miko possessed special abilities.
