Crossover anime, a daily life that begins with hunting supernatural beings.

In this regard, Kirisu Mafuyu herself is more confident than Sakurai.

Who told him to be someone I raised myself?

So, under Sakurai's gaze after he had finished explaining everything, Kirisu Mafuyu asked the question.

"Because I don't want anything to happen to Mafuyu-nee."

“Before this, supernatural beings with the ability to harm ordinary people would not appear in the real world. At least I haven’t seen any in the past month. I’ve also killed most of the supernatural beings in this area during the hunt.”

"Normally I wouldn't mention this to Mafuyu-nee."

"But things are different now."

"I'm certain that, for reasons unknown, a supernatural being has truly appeared in this world."

"I'm very worried about Mafuyu-nee's safety."

Sakurai tried his best to pronounce clearly and organize his vocabulary to express his thoughts clearly.

The scene where the little girl was haunted by the little boy, and the ghosts on the street constantly asking, "Can you see me?"

Whether he didn't notice before or what happened doesn't matter; what's certain is that...

The reality is no longer a "safe zone".

After realizing this, he couldn't help but feel worried.

It was Sister Zhendong who made him make up his mind.

It doesn't matter if I have no memories, it doesn't matter if I'm an alien, I just want to live as an ordinary person.

Therefore, therefore, therefore, he must ensure the safety of Kirisu Mafuyu.

"I don't know magic, nor do I possess any Yin-Yang techniques or divine arts. Apart from this body, I have no means to deal with supernatural phenomena."

"And this body has a fatal attraction for those guys."

"But even so, I have a way to ensure that Mafuyu-nee is not harmed."

"I'm like a Venus flytrap."

"It exudes a deadly [fragrance], while also containing a deadly [dissolving liquid]."

"That's my blood. My blood is a deadly poison to the supernatural, a natural enemy. A small amount of my blood can serve a similar purpose as exorcism and self-defense."

"It's DEET, it's an insecticide, it's a completely intolerable foreign substance."

What Sakurai didn't tell Kirisu Mafuyu was that, at the beginning, his presence was quite an eyesore to the supernatural.

It's like an old mark in the eyes of an Outer God, something that makes the supernatural want to avoid.

This attraction only occurs after he consumes the remains; the more he eats, the stronger the attraction becomes.

By now, his existence has become like a blooming flower that attracts bees and butterflies.

It emits a strange fragrance.

"Hmm, it seems I've said a lot of useless things."

"Anyway..."

"I will offer my blessing to Mafuyu-nee."

As he spoke, Sakurai took out a charm from his shoulder bag.

This is an amulet with some dispelling power that he picked up when he passed by the Ruri Shrine last time.

Exorcising the worst ghosts on the streets shouldn't be a problem.

Sakurai gripped the dagger tightly, and the blood stained the amulet crimson.

He genuinely resisted the return of this blood to his body, and completed the [Enchanted] amulet, placing it around Kirisu Mafuyu's neck.

"The amulet contains spiritual power and has a waterproof effect. If possible, please don't take it off when you take a bath, Mafuyu-nee."

If the blood is combined with the amulet's own abilities, it can subconsciously make surrounding supernatural beings stay away from Mafuyu-nee.

His blood will probably dry up in about a week. To be conservative, if Mafuyu's luck isn't too bad, it should last about five days.

That way he can rest assured for now.

Um...

To resolve any future concerns, let's try to acquire a more advanced exorcism tool during this time.

It seems like the only option is to go find that guy?

But we'll have to wait a few days.

"That way I can rest assured."

"Well then, thank you for your care this month, Mafuyu-nee. Please get some rest and don't worry too much about this. With the amulet and the fact that you can't see, Mafuyu-nee is safe."

"Well... excuse me."

"Okay, could you please ask for leave for me for the next few days, Mafuyu-nee?"

"I have a few things to take care of, and I should be back around Friday."

"It's so great to have met Mafuyu-nee."

"By the way, it will rain tomorrow, so please remember to bring an umbrella, otherwise you might catch a cold."

After leaving those words, Sakurai abandoned the absent-minded and bewildered Kirisu Mafuyu and...

The room was so dirty and messy that it was unpresentable.

And so they left Kirisu Mafuyu's apartment.

My phone lit up in my pocket, and the screen showed tomorrow's weather...

A bright, sunny day.

13. The Old Man and the Map

Legend has it that somewhere in this country lies a hidden temple, visible only to those with a special destiny. Once you reach there...

You can get everything you want.

Some say that even Oda Nobunaga was able to establish his dominance because he once set foot there.

Of course, legends are just legends; they are absurd and cannot withstand scrutiny.

Before this, no one had ever actually found the temple; there were only unsubstantiated rumors.

Therefore, some people say that temples do not exist in the world at all, and that this is just a baseless urban legend created by later generations.

It's just a little story to joke about over tea or after a meal.

Gradually, this story, which lacked both cause and effect and was not corroborated by facts, was almost buried in history as time went by.

However...

This is not a rumor.

The temple is real.

Moreover, it is hidden in a mountain on the outskirts of Tokyo.

However, the temple did not enshrine gods or Buddhas, but rather supernatural beings that took the place of gods and Buddhas and devoured human desires.

In fact, the existence of that temple is not a secret to be taboo in the supernatural world.

It was sealed away by a sorcerer in the past, and there were no treasures there either.

Therefore, no one would deliberately provoke that self-proclaimed god or Buddha.

【Sealing】is a widely accepted action policy among mysterious figures in this country.

Compared to the insignificant sense of accomplishment from slaying supernatural beings, they would much rather enjoy a few more years of peace and tranquility.

Normally, Sakurai is one of those people who is too lazy to cause trouble.

He believed in living a gentle life like a goat and couldn't be bothered with any gods or Buddhas.

Anyway, it won't affect him.

But what could he do? He had to find a suitable exorcism tool for Mafuyu-nee.

Ordinary exorcism tools are fine; they can be bought with just a little money.

These days, all sorts of paranormal phenomena on the streets can be exchanged for money.

but--

The truly top-quality exorcism tools that can meet Sakurai's needs are priceless and unavailable on the market; they are rare items that money can't buy.

Sakurai wanted it, but he didn't have the money.

Since he couldn't cheat others, he had no choice but to raise money.

That temple, which is somewhat famous in historical records, would be a good choice.

Sakurai stood in the pouring rain, holding an oil-paper umbrella, deep in thought, his aloof demeanor suggesting he was detached from the world.

His appearance was already extremely handsome, and coupled with the inexplicable sharpness brought about by his long-term hunting of supernatural beings, as well as his tall and muscular physique, he was truly remarkable.

It naturally attracted the attention of many girls who like this style.

However, those emotionless golden eyes still prevented many girls who wanted to approach him from mustering the courage.

They were all more or less worried about being teased by their friends if they failed to get their contact information.

They also worried that being rejected after trying to strike up a conversation would damage their "manners".

Sakurai, of course, didn't notice what the girls who were taking shelter from the rain under the bus stop were thinking.

His mind is now completely occupied by that temple in the suburbs.

Sakurai wasn't sure of the exact location, only that it was roughly in that area.

So we still need to get a detailed map.
