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

Insert, rotate, and then kick out while simultaneously pulling out the dagger.

Shaking off the rotten flesh from the short dagger, Sakurai took another step forward and threw a punch.

With a single punch, he knocked the woman, who belatedly realized she had lost her child once again, to the ground.

"You can see me, you can see me..."

"Why, why, why..."

"My child, my child, my child."

"I want revenge for my child, give my child back to me..."

Before the woman, whose hair was flying everywhere, could finish her venomous speech, Sakurai straddled her stomach and punched her repeatedly in the face.

Using the woman as a punching tool, he relentlessly pounded her, then raised his short dagger and brought it down straight, smashing her head open.

I picked up a blurry, blood-stained photo of a family of three.

Above, a man in a suit is holding a child with a pouty mouth covered in cream, wearing a birthday crown and wriggling restlessly, while holding his wife's hand in a red dress and smiling happily.

The husband is handsome, the wife is beautiful, and the children are adorable.

A happy family.

This was the happiest day for the family of three.

The marks left on the day the couple celebrated the birthday of their beloved child.

If only time could have stopped on that day, if only her child hadn't died, and if only the three of them could still be living happily together.

pity...

The power of time is beyond human control.

The child was in a car accident, and she...

She also developed mental health issues after losing her child and died unexpectedly for the same reason.

Only her husband remained, all alone.

If Sakurai remembers correctly, her husband, who was the only one who survived, seemed to have made a request through some channel, hoping to find the photo that disappeared after his wife's death. This should be it.

In that case, we won't eat it.

The blood and crimson on his body turned into black mist and disappeared after Sakurai picked up the photo, leaving behind a cold and upright body. Sakurai sheathed his dagger and walked back to the dumbfounded Yotsuya Miko.

"I'll take you somewhere tomorrow."

Sakurai pulled Yotsuya Miko, who was sitting on the ground dumbfounded and too afraid to move, to her feet, and looked at her.

"But I've arranged to meet my friend at Tea Bar at 2 PM tomorrow, and then we're supposed to go shopping."

Startled and somewhat terrified, Yotsuya Miko uttered those words tremblingly; she was already prepared to cancel her date with Xiaohua.

If she hadn't known it was something bad, she probably would have hidden herself and called the police.

The boss's fighting style was too violent and too bloody.

She just...

It almost got wet.

I'm still a bit weak-willed. Luckily, I didn't lose control in the end, otherwise I would have felt like I wanted to die.

"is it?"

"Then I'll come find you later, after you've finished your date with your friend."

"That's it."

Nodding, ignoring Yotsuya Miko's stunned expression, Sakurai left without looking back.

Boss, you're so scary.

But why do I feel so safe?

Yotsuya Miko no longer understands what she is thinking.

Wait, does the boss have my contact information?

How did he find me?

......

......

"I am leaving."

It seemed like someone was telling her to be careful on the way, but Miko Yotsuya paid no attention. After saying those words, she put on her shoes and ran out the door.

I'm going to be late! Why did I oversleep today?!

I glanced at the time displayed on my phone and saw that Ziren was in a bad mood.

Why did she lose sleep because the ghostly image of the boss kept replaying in her head?

After waking up, there's simply no time for a quick wash, makeup, or getting ready to go out.

Was it really too early for her, a high school girl, to face such an exaggeratedly powerful boss with such swift and decisive attacks?

What to do? The psychological trauma I finally managed to release has come back again, all because of the boss.

Hearing the mechanical announcement of "Ready to depart," Miko Yotsuya, who had finally managed to catch the bus, breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It's so great that we made it in time.

Looking at the message Xiaohua sent him on his phone.

Yotsuya Miko wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Come to think of it, with the special attention the boss has given me, I don't really need prayer beads anymore, right?

After casually browsing the webpage a couple of times, Miko's eyes twitched involuntarily as she looked at the prayer beads, which were guaranteed to cost at least four thousand yen.

So expensive! Extremely expensive!!!

My wallet is starting to ache; this amount is way too much for a girl in high school, especially since her mother is the only source of income in the family.

28. The Unlucky JK Girl

If it were yesterday, I might have had to spend a lot of money to buy this.

No, I'm definitely going to be ripped off.

Otherwise, I would really be scared to death.

Anyway, at least now I have a way to deal with bad things.

Despite the fear, at least there was a way to survive.

Yotsuya Miko told herself this.

Thinking about it this way, it was really great that I mustered up the courage to ask the boss for help last night.

Compared to this, a little psychological pressure doesn't seem so unacceptable.

Then, when Yotsuya Miko looked up, she saw that there was now a person in the front seat, which had been empty before.

If I remember correctly, wasn't this person sitting in the very front? When did he move in front of me?

Wait a minute, Yotsuya Miko suddenly remembered something. It seemed that every time she looked up, this person's position moved back one position and then moved in front of her.

Toothpaste, no way, no way, no way, why am I so unlucky?

It's terrifying that this could knock over anything bad.

Miko Yotsuya was getting really annoyed by the constant loop of conversations like "It's really ridiculous, isn't it?", "What do you think?", "It's really funny!", and "Hahahaha!"

Wait, wait, maybe I'm overthinking it. What if, what if this person is just bored and keeps changing seats or something? There are people like that, right?

With a gurgling sound, Miko Yotsuya tried to convince herself.

No way, this thing looks like something bad, okay?

Yotsuya Miko's mentality started to crumble slightly.

Calm down, calm down, Yotsuya Miko, double-check, maybe you've made a mistake.

First of all, there are six people on the bus now, including me.

The man and woman sitting at the back of the bus didn't seem to be talking at all, and the girl next to her was also resting with her eyes closed.

Um...

You're kidding me.

In this situation, the sound is clearly coming from the front, isn't it?

The idea that one person can produce four completely different sounds is definitely a bad thing, isn't it?

With such white teeth, she's just too unlucky.

No, no, no...

Is my life really that bizarre?

There are just too many bad things here.

Yotsuya Miko had to admit that she was overthinking things. What did she mean by never having to worry about the supernatural again? She had clearly forgotten to take the premise into account.

It's scary to face bad things alone when the boss isn't around!

My teeth are so white, so white, so white! Is it too late to jump out of the car now?

Yotsuya Mikoto, who was trying so hard not to scream, was dumbfounded.

As if sensing her gaze, the unpleasant thing sitting in front of her made no attempt to suppress its voice.

Thick black mist emerged from her bluish-black skin, and four heads appeared, surrounding her and repeatedly repeating the four sentences.

Pretending to be nonchalant while looking at her phone, trying her best to ignore the unpleasant things, Yotsuya Miko, whose body was tense and stiff, was sweating profusely.

Instinctively, she gripped the utility knife in her pocket. Feeling the chilling aura emanating from it, Yotsuya Miko's fear was somewhat relieved.

It's okay, it's okay, I'm not the same person I was yesterday.
