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

"So..."

"Interested in trying it out for yourself?"

"As you can see, I have come to..."

"Those who smash up restaurants."

"It seems my assistant has received preferential treatment from you guys."

"Thank you for taking care of the stalker who was bothering my assistant while I was away."

He carried the octagonal, bright silver hammer on his shoulder and slowly raised his other hand.

The raging soul fire ignited by the Arakami Fang was just like the burning fighting spirit in Sakurai's eyes.

He chuckled softly.

"Oh, right..."

"I suddenly remembered, my assistant seems to have mentioned it, right?"

"It's that thing..."

"It seems like we should make a wish when we get to the shrine, right? Well then, I'll offer my prayers..."

As if suddenly remembering something, Sakurai paused, then belatedly took out a coin from his pocket.

"For example..."

"Something like, 'Fight me.'"

"Then please, don't stop before you kill me."

"You must kill me, live, and be killed by me."

A five-yuan coin was launched, twirled in the air, and passed between the two fox witches, just...

It was placed into the donation box in front of the shrine.

A ding-dong sound rang out, this is...

The sound of a coin hitting the ground.

Then came the continuous tinkling of bells.

The fox witch, her face contorted in rage, grew even angrier, her eyes tightly shut, her demeanor dark and gloomy.

The only thing they had in common was that the moment the coin hit the ground, they all rushed towards Sakurai.

Here, the battle between humanity and the subservience of the gods is about to erupt!

A human named Sakurai Yuuto made a grand entrance.

22. One against two? Two one-on-one battles against the fox witch.

"Come on, I've come here as a challenger, so don't disappoint me."

"Divine Servant".

With a single step, his body moved rapidly backward, allowing Sakurai to dodge the furious fox shrine maiden who lunged at him.

So--

"Show time."

He raised his octagonal, gleaming silver hammer and swung it backward. The silvery hammer struck the fox priestess in the abdomen, who had her eyes closed, sending her flying back in the direction he had come from.

When facing an enemy many times your size, the first step is to find a way to create a one-on-one situation.

Turn one against two into...

Two one-on-one sessions.

This is Sakurai's battle strategy.

Sakurai's chosen method was undoubtedly to use the "righteousness" and "military aura" of the octagonal bright silver hammer to temporarily suppress one of the fox priestesses.

This period of time was the best and most opportune time for him to deal with another enemy.

A piercing, eerie scream rang out; it was a scream completely different from any modern language.

Ignoring this, Sakurai kicked the torii gate behind him, and while airborne, he turned around and delivered a full-force spinning kick.

Upon landing again, he punched the fox witch, whose eyes had widened, squarely in the stomach.

"I heard you, you were calling for help, right? You kept babbling on and on, saying..."

Please help me.

As he spoke, Sakurai's punches became increasingly forceful.

"I don't know anything about methods of performing rituals to help the deceased pass on, so..."

"Is this okay?"

"I will take responsibility for defeating you. Is that considered liberation?"

The fox witch remained silent. Having been controlled by the mountain god for decades, even centuries, she had long since lost her own will and was now left only with the instinct to obey the mountain god's commands.

She clasped her hands together, and golden light emanated from her body, accompanied by the sound of bells.

An invisible blade severed Sakurai's arm, which he had been swinging.

The freed fox witch stood up, raising her fists above her head.

An invisible aura suppressed Sakurai's body, rendering him unable to move.

Looking down at his calf, which was embedded in the brickwork, Sakurai had no time to resist before being crushed into minced meat by the powerful gravity.

After saying something in a low voice, the fox witch turned and walked towards another fox witch who was being suppressed by the octagonal bright silver hammer.

"You want..."

"Where to go?"

"Don't you know that our battle has only just begun?"

The rapidly spinning dagger sliced ​​across her waist and abdomen, leaving a long, narrow gash.

Turning around, the fox witch, her eyes wide with rage, discovered that the flesh and blood of the overconfident "food" she had executed were still churning, returning to its original form.

He gripped the blazing dagger that had flown back into his hand and was staring at him coldly.

Golden rice grains flowed from the wound and fell to the ground, where they were then ignited by colorless, transparent flames.

Intense pain, a pain that settles on the soul, follows.

Body...

Unable to move.

This flame is fueled by the soul.

Sakurai remained silent. Having experienced the fox shrine maiden's methods firsthand, he had long since abandoned the attitude of treating it as a snack before the main course.

He was already serious, so he became even more thorough and complete in his seriousness.

Wielding the blazing Aragami Fang is far more effective than the Eight-Sided Bright Silver Hammer when dealing with enemies of normal size.

He had already seen quite a lot when he just died.

There is one minute left before the other fox witch escapes, or to be precise, only fifty-seven seconds.

He had already experienced the basic methods of the fox witch in front of him.

Within the visible timeline, he has not yet witnessed the mountain god's personal appearance.

And, there are two seconds left before the fox witch regains her mobility.

So...

A one-on-one duel lasting less than a minute.

And so—

Officially underway!!!

Sakurai raised his right hand, and Arakami Kiba slid into his palm.

They stepped forward, taking advantage of the fox witch being controlled by the flames, and launched an attack.

The raised Aragami Fang fell at high speed, while at the same time the fox priestess, who had successfully regained her mobility, held her hands in a prayer position.

An invisible wind blade struck Sakurai's chest once more.

Having no intention of giving up the attack, Sakurai, who had already "foreseen" this outcome, crossed his legs and slid to dodge the wind blade while simultaneously circling behind the fox priestess.

The flames from the Aragami Fang in his hand grew even brighter, sliding down the fox priestess's clenched fist.

The dim golden light spread in all directions, and the burning rice ears fell continuously along the wound.

It burned up completely in mid-air.

The incomprehensible screams rang out again, the instinctive wails of a soul being burned.

But this time, the pain no longer affected her movements. She endured the pain, clenched her fists, and raised them above her head again.

An invisible gravitational field reappears, ready to crush Sakurai's body once again, just like before.

"Trying to use the same trick twice?"

"You're really underestimating me."

A bloodstain appeared out of thin air in the palm of the hand holding the Aragami Fang, and the bright red blood flowed out of the wound and was swallowed by the hilt of the sword.

The soul flames wrapped around the Arakami Fang erupted instantly, igniting Sakurai's entire body starting from his palm.

The blazing flames of the soul clashed with the invisible gravitational field, ultimately canceling each other out.

As for the situation where the soul is burned, even if he could feel the pain, let alone not feeling it.

He had lost at least four figures to this flame in the battle against the Aragami, so he had long since developed the corresponding resistance.

so...

The flames had no effect on him.
