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

Upon hearing how Yoru addressed her, Yui Yuigahama paused for a moment, glancing at Rio Futaba, who was making coffee beside her, with a hesitant expression.

Yotsuya Miko's reaction was similar to hers.

The three had agreed that when they addressed each other by code names, it meant that the conversation was about supernatural events.

And now Yohoshi calls Yui Yuigahama Yui "Danko," which means...

But isn't Rio Futaba, who is completely unaware of the Otherworld and evil spirits, still sitting here?

The activity room suddenly fell silent.

Night Star, however, clearly had his own plans.

His initial intention was for Rio Futaba to maintain a detached perspective and use absolute rationality to help him analyze the situation.

But now, with the function of the "gate" revealed and the emergence of the inner world, the amount of information that needs to be analyzed has increased dramatically.

Each time, Yohoshi had to first translate the information that needed to be analyzed by Futaba Rio into chuunibyou language and vocabulary before conveying it to her.

Not to mention that this is a waste of time and also very troublesome.

The key point is that after the words and sentences are replaced, Rio Futaba may miss some key information that could have been analyzed due to the difference in literal meaning.

There is only one way to solve this problem.

Exiled to Kyoto, a fictional world, to confront one's true self.

But before that, there is a crucial question.

"Futaba-kun."

Yohoshi looked directly into Rio Futaba's eyes hidden behind her glasses and spoke softly in an unusually serious tone.

Do you want to know the truth about the world?

064 The first club activity of the Overload Club: The Suona Player from the Underworld

Rio Futaba was stunned.

She has been thinking about this for the past few days.

If Ye Xing isn't suffering from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), and if everything the other person said to her was true...

Such a world, filled with despair, where every possible means is required to survive, chilling and terrifying, teetering on the brink of destruction, teetering on the brink of collapse...

Am I really willing to face it?

Is it to survive as a confused and ignorant person, or to muster the courage in your heart to unveil the thin veil covering the blood-soaked, twisted, and terrifying world?

At that moment, Rio Futaba felt like the male protagonist in that movie.

There was a blue pill in front of them and a red pill in front of them.

In short, whichever one you choose...

The result was always the same: it was definitely going to be a pill.

Yui Yuigahama and Miko Yotsuya remained silent, waiting quietly for Rio Futaba's reply.

After spending these few days together, they had already come to regard each other as friends.

only...

The need for secrecy and concealment made the two of them very uncomfortable.

Let's not even talk about Yui Yuigahama.

Miko Yotsuya wasn't good at lying; she was just good at concealing her true feelings.

Someone as intelligent as Rio Futaba probably already guessed that they were hiding something, but had never said it outright.

Can such a friendship, which both sides are keeping secret, really last?

Based on Yui Yuigahama and Miko Yotsuya's emotional thinking, they naturally wanted Rio Futaba to also be in the know.

But is that really a good idea?

The underworld, evil spirits, ghosts, and "doors"—these bizarre existences are things that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.

"Futaba, you need to think this through."

Yui Yuigahama's eyes flickered, her expression complex.

"The truth of the world is terrifying."

Upon hearing her say this, Yotsuya Miko sighed.

Yui Yuigahama has a very gentle personality.

She was even a little too gentle.

Always put others before yourself.

Yui Yuigahama herself doesn't actually need to get involved in these things at all.

Even though she went to Kyoto in the other world and got involved in supernatural events, as long as she pretended not to see it, just like Miko before, life would continue as usual.

Why did Yui agree to join Xyz Society without any hesitation?

Clearly, she wasn't the kind of person who was very bold, nor was she a crazy person like Ye Xing, whose mental fluctuations were extremely high and frequent.

Even Yotsuya Miko, who was very close to her, couldn't understand the reason behind this.

Mai Sakurajima leaned against the window, listening to the conversation in the activity room, her face showing only two words.

confused.

No, what are you talking about?

Mai Sakurajima only knew that Miko Yotsuya was fighting something, but she couldn't see the evil spirit or the "door" at all.

Ye Xing didn't explain.

Mai Sakurajima didn't ask her directly.

She couldn't understand what the younger generation was talking about at all!

Am I just getting old?

"I..."

Seeing Yui Yuigahama, who always had a silly smile, with such a serious expression, Rio Futaba also hesitated.

What is the real world really like?

Seeing her hesitant expression, Ye Xing spoke calmly.

"Futaba, the choice is yours. Whatever you choose, this activity room will still belong to you. This is the condition of our deal. We won't come here again. This place will always be your private space... no, your private space. Don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Rio Futaba's eyes, hidden behind her glasses, flickered. After a few seconds, she suddenly slammed her hand on the table and stood up, a move completely different from her usual calm and rational demeanor.

"boom!"

The sudden sound of the table being slammed startled Yui Yuigahama so much that her body trembled involuntarily.

Yotsuya Miko's pupils also contracted slightly.

Two seconds later, his shoulders trembled slightly.

Miko Yotsuya's reaction is delayed. Just like during a live broadcast, to prevent broadcast accidents, her brain first judges whether the fright comes from an evil spirit, then judges whether she can show that she is frightened, and then decides on her body's reaction.

This skill level is enough to get you on a talent show.

"I..."

Rio Futaba took a deep breath, her expression becoming incredibly determined.

"I'm very curious!"

Ye Xing thought to herself, "Did you wander onto the wrong set?"

Curious? You should go to the Classics Club. This is the Superpower Club, you know.

"Because of curiosity, I wanted to observe."

Rio Futaba raised her hand and pushed up her glasses, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"I want to observe, and I like the atmosphere here, so please allow me to change my identity from a member of the Quantum Mechanics Research Society to a former member of the Super Cumin Quantum Mechanics Research Society from now on!"

There was a few seconds of silence in the activity room.

"Pfft."

Miko Yotsuya and Yui Yuigahama both burst into hearty laughter at the same time.

"Haha, Futaba, did you just bite your tongue?"

"It seems you're acting very calm, but you're actually quite nervous, aren't you?"

"No, I'm going to die laughing."

...

Seeing the two girls laughing heartily, Rio Futaba blushed slightly, pushed up her glasses, and tried to remain calm.

"In short, you all understand what I mean."

"In that case, let's get started."

"Start with what?"

Yohoshi didn't answer Futaba Rio's question directly, but called out softly.

“Appear, eight feet tall.”

As he finished speaking, a tall woman in white, nearly three meters tall with her head almost touching the ceiling, suddenly appeared in the field of vision of Rio Futaba and Yui Yuigahama.

"I...I'm going to die!?"

Even the usually calm and collected Rio Futaba, who remains composed and rational in the face of adversity, was startled when she suddenly saw such a monster appear in the activity room, causing her pupils to shrink in surprise.

Yui Yuigahama opened her mouth slightly, stared blankly for a while, then forced a smile and waved to Yasakani.

"Um, um, ya hello?"

"Hello."
