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

"Mother."

"Yang No."

Yukinoshita's mother's tone didn't sound like she was calling her daughter, but rather like a boss talking to a subordinate.

"The building in Kyoto has started reconstruction. You did a good job this time."

"Thank you for your compliment."

"but..."

Yukinoshita's mother suddenly changed the subject.

"You added 400,000 yuan to the company's budget, citing... the need to grease palms?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I trust your judgment."

Yukinoshita's mother clearly trusted Haruno, and Yukinoshita Construction Company didn't lack a mere 400,000 yen.

The renovation project of the Kyoto City office building, compared to money and profit, actually represents more symbolic meaning.

This is the first step for Yukinoshita Construction Company to expand its influence beyond Chiba Prefecture. Even if it doesn't make money, or even loses money, it has to be done beautifully.

"Mother, Yukino is doing well."

"Humph."

Upon hearing Haruno mention Yukino's name, Yukinoshita's mother's voice noticeably turned colder.

"It's one thing to leave Chiba Prefecture to study elsewhere, but the fact that they chose not prestigious schools like Advanced Nurturing School or Shuchiin School, which are worthy of our Yukinoshita family name, but that insignificant Soubu High School, is truly disappointing."

Faced with Yukino's mother's words, Haruno could only remain silent.

She couldn't understand why her younger sister, who was outstanding in both appearance and academics, didn't choose Shuchiin Academy or Advanced Training Institute, but instead chose the mediocre Soubu High School.

“If it weren’t for your pleading, I would never have let her leave Chiba Prefecture and go to school in another place all by herself.”

Despite not understanding, Haruno was still willing to support Yukino's decision, even at the cost of confronting her domineering mother.

Yukino still believes that she was able to enter Soubu High School because she argued her case.

In reality, it was Yang Nai who was secretly supporting her.

"Company matters are important, but your studies cannot be neglected either. After all, you are the future hope of the Yukinoshita family. That's all."

After Yukinoshita's mother hung up the phone, Haruno's expression became somewhat complicated. She sighed softly, her smile tinged with bitterness, and murmured to herself.

“Yukino, sometimes I really envy your honesty, which can be called naive honesty.”

.......

And so, a pleasant day passed.

On his way home, Ye Xing felt content.

He's a normal... barely normal person.

To devour the souls of evil spirits and wicked people to become stronger is something that must be done.

Why choose to be an ordinary person if you can become a strong person?

but.

Improving one's skills doesn't conflict with enjoying a peaceful and beautiful youth.

The former is the process, while the latter is the ultimate goal.

After battling these eerie occurrences for so long, and finally seeing the "door" appear less and less frequently, it's time to relax.

When Ye Xing arrived at his doorstep, he found a beautiful girl wearing black pantyhose quietly squatting in front of the door.

Fortunately, it's only a little past nine o'clock.

If you saw this scene at two or three in the morning, it would be like a female ghost coming to claim your life.

"Sakurajima Mai-san, what are you doing here?"

That's right, the beautiful girl who was squatting pitifully next to the elevator like a bullied puppy is none other than former national idol actress, Mai Sakurajima.

"You are finally back."

Upon hearing Yoru's voice, Sakurajima Mai rubbed her eyes, patted her skirt, and stood up.

"I'd like to stay at your place for the weekend."

"Hey, let's go then."

Of all the school-themed anime I watched in my previous life, there was one thing that Ye Xing found most difficult to understand.

The female lead had clearly launched a direct attack, almost to the point of touching him.

Why is it that the male protagonist can always miss opportunities or misunderstand the other party's meaning from various unexpected angles?

That won't do.

Night Star won't make the same mistake.

Why did Mai Sakurajima want to stay at my house? Doesn't she know that I live alone?

Don't ask these questions.

Come on, follow me inside.

"Your house is quite big."

After taking the elevator with Yohoshi and arriving at her home, Mai Sakurajima uttered a similar sentiment to that of Miko Yotsuya back then.

This detached two-story house isn't exactly a luxurious residence, but it's considered quite nice for Kyoto.

"There are ready-made foods in the refrigerator. If you get hungry, just go to the kitchen and cook for yourself."

Ye Xing sat down on the sofa and said something nonchalantly.

Mai Sakurajima looked helpless, thinking that it was her first time visiting a boy's house, and that it was just the two of them alone. She was a little reserved and nervous.

But seeing Ye Xing's nonchalant expression, her tense and uneasy feelings instantly eased a lot.

In the tidy living room, Mai Sakurajima noticed something that seemed a bit out of place.

She took off her leather shoes, her jade-like feet clad in black stockings stepping onto the wooden floor. She took two steps forward, looked at the unopened can of Pepsi on the entryway shelf, and asked curiously.

"You like this drink?"

"No."

"Then why did you put it here?"

"Because it was a gift from someone else."

"Then why didn't you drink it?"

Upon hearing Mai Sakurajima's question, Yohoshi's expression became conflicted and complicated, as if this ordinary can of Pepsi was more difficult to deal with than the legendary great demon Tamamo-no-Mae.

"I really hate drinking Pepsi, but since it's a gift from someone, I can't just throw it away, and it would be a bit impolite to give it to someone else, so I'll just keep it as a decoration."

"That's it..."

Mai Sakurajima nodded, then said meaningfully.

"The person who gave you this gift was a girl, right?"

"really."

What followed was silence.

Mai Sakurajima didn't know what to talk about, so she just sat quietly on the sofa, tucking her long hair behind her ear and occasionally adjusting her clothes, revealing the nervousness in her heart that was completely opposite to her calm appearance.

Ye Xing glanced at her and said calmly.

"You're... scared, aren't you?"

"How could that be? I..."

Mai Sakurajima instinctively wanted to deny it outright.

But the moment she met Ye Xing's gaze, seeing his completely expressionless eyes, she felt as if she had been seen through. Like a deflated balloon, her voice became much heavier, and she lowered her head as she spoke.

"Yes... I'm very scared, scared that I will disappear from this world forever."

A hint of melancholy appeared in Sakurajima Mai's eyes, and she sighed.

"Now, no one can see me except you. It's the same whether I'm going to school or leaving school."

Mai Sakurajima wanted to stay at Yohoshi's house for a simple reason.

Because she was afraid.

Today is Friday.

This means that if she doesn't do something, she won't see Night Star for the entire weekend.

Two days.

For Mai Sakurajima in the past, it was just a mere two days.

But now, she is terrified that when she enters the activity room of the Supernatural Quantum Mechanics Research Society during her lunch break on Monday, she will see Ye Xing's gaze pierce straight through her body.

In that case, I would completely disappear from this world.

Now, Mai Sakurajima's only connection to this world, and the only person who can observe her existence, is Yohoshi.

"rest assured."

Ye Xing smiled.

"Even if I forget you, as long as you wear a sexy swimsuit or a bunny girl outfit and stand in front of me, I will definitely remember you again."

Upon hearing this, Mai Sakurajima's pretty face flushed slightly, but she still managed to maintain a calm demeanor, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Hmph, as a mature adult, and also your senior, if it's a junior who doesn't have much experience in relationships and is very curious about women, as long as the attitude is sincere, I might as well wear it for you to see, as a way of repaying you for your help over this period of time."

"is it?"

Ye Xing smiled meaningfully and slowly began to speak.

"Then how about we don't need to clean the guest room tonight?"
