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

Rio Futaba stopped in her tracks and said urgently.

"Are there any secluded places around here where no one will pass by, but there's enough space?"

"what..."

"Answer me quickly!"

"Yes, yes."

Yuri Kawana thought hard and finally came up with a place, pointing to the corner ahead.

"Turn around there and walk about fifty meters. There's a small badminton hall that's being renovated, but the door is locked..."

Rio Futaba glanced at Miko Yotsuya, who nodded slightly, and she immediately understood.

"We're heading there! Hurry up!"

After the three women and eight feet turned the corner, they ran forward for several dozen meters and sure enough, they saw a small two-story badminton hall.

The main entrance to the museum was locked with chains, and a sign on the door read, "Undergoing renovations, please do not enter."

Without needing Yotsuya Miko's prompting, Hachisa stepped forward, his fair right hand gripping the iron lock, and with brute force, he snapped the chain.

Among all evil spirits, Hachi is an extremely special existence.

Logically speaking, evil spirits cannot affect objects in the mortal world.

Whether it's because he signed a contract with Ye Xing, a psychic, or because a "door" has been fused into his body, Ba Chi is able to do this.

If you want to attack enemies, you still have to choose to reveal yourself.

This rule, which allows influence only upon seeing, may have been created to protect humanity from being slaughtered by evil spirits.

"Come in quickly."

Seeing that Yurikawa was still in a daze, Futaba Rio frowned slightly and pulled her directly into the badminton hall.

After entering, Rio Futaba looked around.

Just as she expected, the badminton hall's electrical circuits had been cut off for a long time due to renovations.

Although there are cameras, a stadium of this size obviously cannot afford the kind of high-end cameras with ultra-long standby time and real-time network connectivity.

It perfectly matches her requirements.

Upon entering the badminton hall, Rio Futaba did not hesitate at all, immediately taking out her phone from her pocket and dialing Yosei's number.

Trying to be tough when it comes to exorcism isn't being arrogant, it's being a fool.

If anything goes wrong, the three people present, plus Ba Chi, will all die.

If I die, then I die.

Miko Yotsuya, who can be a psychic; Hana Yurikawa, who possesses a powerful life force; and Yasakani, who has fused with the power of the "Gate"—if they were to be devoured by that special, half-human, half-evil creature...

Isn't this the same as raising a boss?

To Rio's surprise, the call didn't go through; all she heard was a busy signal.

"this..."

Her heart sank as a terrifying thought crossed her mind.

Shouldn't...

Has Night Star gone to the other world?

Although Yasakani is not present, Yosei, as a psychic, can still travel between the real world and the underworld through the "gate" that originally existed in Kyoto City.

I can't get through on this phone...

Wouldn't that be G?

How to do how to do?

Invincible Rio Futaba, hurry up and think of a solution.

Rio Futaba's thoughts were racing, and she was almost starting to hypnotize herself.

After compiling and analyzing all the intelligence, she came to a conclusion that, though she was unwilling to admit it, was true.

They were driven to the brink of despair.

at this time.

"Cough cough."

Yotsuya Miko suddenly coughed twice, clutching her chest, her brows furrowed, and she looked extremely tired.

Baihechuan asked with concern, "Jianzi, are you alright?"

"Fortunately."

Yotsuya Miko waved her hand, took a deep breath, and leaned against the wall of the badminton hall.

She could feel that her hundred eyes had been destroyed.

Only about a minute and a half had passed between the time the group left the scene and when they ran into the stadium.

The 13-eyed Bai Mu could only hold out for a mere minute and a half against that evil spirit.

Yotsuya Miko realized that her initial judgment was too naive.

That evil spirit not only possessed extremely high intelligence, but also knew not to directly devour Yuri Kawana, but to absorb some of her life force every day in order to enhance its own power.

Furthermore, their strength is unimaginably powerful.

To be honest, Yotsuya Miko's soul, which manifests as Hyakume, is not actually the type that excels in combat. She is more inclined to track traces and gather information through observation. She is a scout-type spirit, and her current combat strength is only slightly stronger than Hachisaku's.

Even with eight feet of strength, it's not considered one of the most powerful among all evil spirits.

Yotsuya Miko is currently protecting Yurikawa Hana and Futaba Rio, two ordinary people, which resulted in her being killed once, causing her physical and mental strength to be greatly depleted.

Two options.

Summon Hundred Eyes again, and you will lose your fighting ability.

Alternatively, if she doesn't summon anything, she can barely continue fighting.

"Tap...tap...tap..."

A series of unhurried yet clearly audible footsteps slowly approached the intersection in front of the three.

From the rhythm of those footsteps, one can hear a playful, teasing quality in the hunter's voice before killing his prey.

"Bliss."

The half-human, half-demon man, with a long, dark green tongue that was incredibly disgusting, and a twisted smile on his face, appeared from around the corner.

"We've got you."

He, or rather, it.

Its undisguised gaze fell directly on Yurikawa Hana and Futaba Rio's chests, licking its lips and radiating a twisted, lustful desire in its eyes.

"What I like most is to kill girls like you, and then savor your bodies slowly and carefully."

"As for you?"

The demon's gaze fell on Yotsuya Miko, and it shook its head without any interest.

"You're not very good at it."

"This guy..."

Rio Futaba clenched her teeth so tightly that her fingernails almost pierced her palms.

What she hated most in her life was having her body looked at like that.

That's the kind of look they gave, and those disgusting words they used.

It even made her feel disgusted with herself.

Rio Futaba knows how absurd the victim-blaming theory is.

But she is human after all, and no matter how rational she appears, she can't escape the torment of emotions.

Or rather, Rio Futaba's extreme rationality stems from her unwillingness to confront the more emotional version of herself that is influenced by external opinions.

"Do you think I'm disgusting?"

The demon licked its lips, its gaze lingering on the chests of Rio Futaba and Hana Yurikawa.

"Having such a body, ultimately, is it your own fault?! How could it be my fault?! Whether it's death or being toyed with, it's all your own fault!!!"

Yotsuya Miko was clearly angered by such remarks, but she remained calm, took the long sword handed to her by Yasakani, supported herself with one hand, took a deep breath, and slowly spoke.

"Futaba, you take Yurikawa and go first. There should be a back door inside. Hachisaku, come with us and leave this place."

"how about you?"

Yotsuya Miko stared intently at the evil spirit at the end of the corridor, gripping her long sword tightly with all her might.

"As a professional exorcist, I won't lose, don't worry."

Rio Futaba knew that Miko Yotsuya was lying.

If she could truly handle this evil spirit alone, with the help of Hyakume and Hachisaku, she should have instantly killed it on the street just now.

It is now clear that Yotsuya Miko is trying to buy time by making a sacrifice, giving herself and Yurikawa Hana time to escape.

Reason tells Futaba that it's better for one person to die than for all three of them to die here.

But her emotions made her stop in her tracks. Her lips were slightly parted, but no matter what, she couldn't say, "I'm leaving it to you."

"clang!"

The evil spirit stuck out its long tongue, which clashed once again with the long sword in Yotsuya Miko's hand.

This time, however, Yotsuya Miko was unsteady on her feet and was thrown back several steps by the impact, eventually sitting down on the ground.

She gritted her teeth, enduring the exhaustion of physical depletion, and struggled to her feet again, pointing the tip of her knife at the evil spirit before her once more.

"See you..."

Seeing Yotsuya Miko's exhausted yet determined appearance, Futaba Rio took a deep breath, her eyes showing an unprecedented determination.

I have to do something.
