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

With blank stares at Kirisu Mafuyu, who was wearing a dark work uniform and a dark red skirt, Sakurai pursed his lips and was slightly speechless.

If I had known, I wouldn't have come out.

Why waste time? Why not just go back and eat some instant noodles?

"What's wrong, Sakurai-kun?"

"He was constantly sighing and complaining."

Her steps faltered, and Kirisu Mafuyu, turning around, slightly raised her head to meet Sakurai's eyes.

"No, there isn't."

"I was just wondering why Mafuyu-nee was out so late."

After thinking for a moment, Sakurai gave this answer.

"I sometimes feel like going out for a walk."

"Instead of this, I should be the one saying this. Sakurai, you should know your own situation better than I do. Why are you still out so late?"

Anyway, I'll take you back first.

Sakurai shook his head, rejecting Kirisu Mafuyu's suggestion.

"I'm more concerned about Mafuyu's safety than my own. Mafuyu knows that even if I'm surrounded by ten people, I can still escape."

"So I'll take Mafuyu-nee home first."

Looking at Kirisu Mafuyu, Sakurai said those words.

He was a little worried about today's situation. Perhaps it was just unfounded delusion, but he was still slightly concerned.

Kirisu Mafuyu's safety.

just in case...

On the way back, Mafuyu also encountered something supernatural?

Didn't they say on TV that anomalies attract anomalies?

As the only person in the world connected to him, Kirisu Mafuyu might also attract something unusual.

I didn't care before, but I can't anymore.

After all, he had personally witnessed the strange changes in reality and the fact that the little girl had inexplicably seen the supernatural.

Once I considered this possibility, I knew I couldn't just sit idly by.

After all, this was Mafuyu-nee, whom he respected the most.

"I understand. Let's go then. My home is nearby."

"But in return, you must go home obediently and call me as soon as you get home."

"And if you encounter any problems in the future, be sure to come to me."

"I don't know what happened, that's true, but Sakurai-kun, I'm the older one."

"At least I can offer you some advice."

This was the first time that Kirisu Mafuyu saw perseverance in Sakurai's eyes.

For the past month, he has been like a blank canvas, allowing her to use him unconditionally.

Let her write whatever colors she wants on it.

Has Sakurai, despite his appearance, developed his own secret?

The joy of watching my child grow up, mixed with subtle unease.

In the ensuing scramble, it was Kirisu Mafuyu who ultimately succumbed first.

Kirisu Mafuyu chose to compromise. After a month of getting to know the child, she truly didn't want to ignore this insistence.

Walking one after the other, Sakurai's gaze kept drifting towards the shadows around them.

Pitch-black mist, and various supernatural beings moving through the streets.

Too much...

They were almost one to one or even more people than on the street.

Ramen shops, sushi shops, department stores, and on the streets.

The supernatural beings mimicked the actions of the living people around them, constantly whispering the question, "Can you see me?"

Sakurai, who was two steps behind Kirisu Mafuyu, lowered his head slightly, avoiding direct eye contact with the supernatural entity. His eyes were full of solemnity and doubt.

I can't get through to that guy on the phone either.

Sakurai, swallowing hard, suppressed his urge to devour his food, his cold eyes betraying a reckless impulse to cause a ruckus.

He couldn't understand...

When did the real world become another massive paranormal site?

This is really outrageous.

Sakurai, his brows furrowed involuntarily, remained two steps behind Kirisu Mafuyu, and then, without realizing it, arrived at the end of his journey.

In front of apartment number 201, Kirisu Mafuyu stopped and frowned slightly as she looked at Sakurai, who was keeping his head down so as not to show his expression.

She sensed something was wrong.

Sakurai-san...

It's different from usual.

In the end what happened.

Did Sakurai remember something?

What should we do? Has it come to the point where we have to get to the bottom of this?

Should we interfere with students' privacy?

"Sakurai-san, I told you, if anything happens, you must tell me."

After a brief silence, Kirisu Mafuyu made her decision.

Her eyes were sharp and authoritative as she emphasized those words again in a serious and forceful manner.

"Did Mafuyu-nee notice something was wrong because of my different approach?"

"I'm usually not the type to talk much either."

"As expected, Mafuyu-nee is a very responsible Mafuyu-nee."

"They even noticed this level of anomaly."

Sakurai leaned against the wall, rubbing her hair into a mess once again, looking somewhat helpless.

what to do...

Should we tell the whole story?

I'll just make up some excuse to get by.

Looking at the expressionless Kirisu Mafuyu, a look of distress appeared on Sakurai's face for the first time.

Sure enough, it's one thing to hide something, but him...

She was unwilling to deceive Kirisu Mafuyu.

Then tell the truth.

Anyway, I had no obligation to hide another world.

Moreover, Mafuyu-nee is naturally a bit of a ditz in this regard, so she probably won't have too much trouble with it.

I...

Perhaps it's necessary to confide in an outsider.

Kirisu Mafuyu silently accepted all of Sakurai's complaints and watched him intently...

Waiting for Sakurai to continue.

"So, Mafuyu-nee, are you sure you want to know?"

"What I'm about to say might change your perspective."

"Your worldview may be distorted as a result."

Looking up, Sakurai stared at the flickering incandescent light above him and the eerie creature staring at him through the ceiling, speaking very softly.

After making this decision, Sakurai didn't know how he felt.

but...

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

To be honest, he had been hesitant ever since his first encounter with the supernatural.

Ultimately, they thought they could keep it a secret for as long as possible.

It's no use now; he has no way out.

But if she found out that her student was a monster, would Mafuyu still take care of him as before?

Sakurai didn't know, and dared not think about it.

But compared to this fear and the unknown, he was probably more unwilling to hide it.

After a brief period of deliberation, he ultimately chose to tell the whole story.

After all, that's Kirisu Mafuyu, the one who saved him when he lost his memory and had nothing.

How could he not trust someone like Mafuyu?

so...

He accepted whatever the outcome might be.
