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

"The Otherworld... so that's how it's formed..."

Upon hearing Rio Futaba's report, the members of the Superpower Society all wore thoughtful expressions, tinged with worry.

Mai Sakurajima crossed her legs, which were encased in gray stockings, and her long, slender yet fleshy calves swayed in the air.

"So that's how it is..."

She rested her chin on one hand, looked up at the members in front of her, and spoke with a serious expression.

"If the residents of Kyoto City collectively experience fear or panic due to a certain event, it could lead to the emergence of even more powerful and difficult-to-deal-with evil spirits in the underworld?"

Rio Futaba nodded slightly: "Based on the current pattern, that's how it is."

"That..."

Mai Sakurajima looked out the window at the sky where a torrential downpour was falling. She pursed her lips, a hint of worry appearing on her pretty face.

"This kind of strange and inexplicable weather is not a good sign."

Upon hearing this, Hina Amano quickly spoke up.

"What if I make the weather clear up?"

Yotsuya Miko shook her head.

"It doesn't really make much sense. You can't use your abilities 24/7 without stopping, you'd be exhausted. It's just a temporary measure."

Ye Xing sat by the window and spoke casually.

"Perhaps we could give it a try..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mai Sakurajima, Miko Yotsuya, and Rio Futaba interrupted him in unison.

"No maybes! No attempts allowed!"

Amano Hina looked puzzled, thinking that judging from Yohoshi's first half of the sentence, it must be some kind of method to improve her abilities.

Why do Mai Sakurajima, Miko Yotsuya, and Rio Futaba not let each other finish speaking?

Could it be that this method of enhancing strength has serious side effects?

Amano Hina didn't understand and didn't dare to ask, after all, she was the least senior member of the Superpower Company.

"Let's get back to business."

Seeing that Rio Futaba and Mai Sakurajima were just as excited as she was, Miko Yotsuya blushed slightly and coughed twice to change the subject.

"If the other world is composed of negative human thoughts, then the evil spirits living there, and Tamamo-no-Mae..."

Just as you expected.

Rio Futaba nodded, speaking calmly.

"Tamamo-no-Mae is not the real Tamamo-no-Mae from the legends."

"She and the other evil spirits in the underworld are all personifications of the negative emotions that humans in Kyoto City have towards certain things."

"Just like the embodiment of our soul."

"But Tamamo-no-Mae believes that she is the legendary Tamamo-no-Mae. Judging from her behavior, even her memories are false, exactly the same as those recorded in the legend, which is the most abnormal thing."

Upon hearing Rio Futaba's words, Miko Yotsuya's golden eyes flickered a few times. She looked at the eight-foot-tall man who was squatting in the corner, bored and lost in thought, and lowered her voice.

"So, if that's the case... Eight-foot tall..."

"Now we can verify it."

Rio Futaba looked at Hachisa, who was crouching in the corner, and called out softly.

"Hachi, come here for a second."

"OK, all right."

Eight feet nodded obediently, walked over slowly, and squatted down next to Night Star.

Seeing her actions, Rio Futaba frowned slightly, but still asked softly.

What were you doing before you met us?

Upon hearing this question, the eight-foot-tall man hesitated and secretly glanced at Ye Xing.

The latter waved his hand casually.

"Just answer whatever they ask you."

"okay, I get it."

The eight-foot-tall man nodded obediently, then answered meekly.

"Before I met you... I was killing humans, especially children."

"is it?"

Just when Hachisaku thought that Rio Futaba would show anger upon hearing about the crimes she had committed in the past, she saw that Rio simply pushed up her glasses and then threw out a question that caught her completely off guard.

"What were the names of the children you killed?"

"This this..."

The eight-foot-tall man tried hard to recall the memories in his mind, opened his lips, but after a long time, he couldn't utter a single word.

She suddenly discovered something.

It seems I don't even know the names of a few humans.

Besides the members of the Superpower Society, Hachisaku only knew one other person, the name of the little girl who lived in the same apartment building as Yui Yuigahama.

The problem is, she didn't kill him either.

"Not even a single name?"

Rio Futaba looked directly into Yasakani's eyes and said in a calm tone.

"Before you kill the children, don't you pretend to be their deceased relatives and call out their names?"

"This...I..."

The eight-foot-tall man tried hard to recall, but his mind was completely blank.

Rio Futaba, with an "I knew it" look on her face, glanced at the members of the Xyz Club and said calmly.

"It seems that's how it is."

This eight-foot figure is a ghost formed from the impressions of the "eight-foot" ghost story by everyone in Kyoto.

In the ghost stories, it is only said that Yasakani liked to kill children, but the names of the victims are never mentioned.

Therefore, the image of Hachi, formed by the collective impressions of the masses, would naturally not know the names of the children she had killed.

Because she never did those things at all; it was just a false memory.

Then, Rio Futaba spoke again.

"Next, let's discuss the matter concerning Kawasaki-san and Kitagawa-san..."

"Wait a moment!"

Before Rio Futaba could finish speaking, Hachisaku suddenly stood up.

As a result of her excessive height, her head hit the hard ceiling, letting out a painful cry like a wounded animal. She crouched down, clutching her head with both hands, looking pitiful, with tears welling up in her eyes.

"Ouch...it hurts so much...waaaah."

Night Star chimed in with a comment.

"I think you've gone a bit senile lately."

With a pitiful expression, the eight-foot-tall man squatted on the ground, looking at the members of the Superpower Society with teary eyes, feeling both aggrieved and angry.

"So, the topic about me is just being glossed over like this?"

Rio Futaba nodded without hesitation.

"if not?"

"Could you please pay more attention to me? I've been through something... what's that word again..."

After pondering for a long time, the eight-foot-tall man finally spoke up as if he had just realized something.

"Yes, an identity crisis!"

Hina Amano and Yui Yuigahama couldn't hear what Yasaku was saying, but Mai Sakurajima, who had awakened her spiritual abilities, deeply understood what Yasaku was saying.

One of the reasons for her adolescent syndrome is the lack of self-identity.

Mai Sakurajima felt the same way about the man in the eight-foot-tall house at that moment.

But Ye Xing didn't tolerate Ba Chi at all.

"Why do you have so many problems? I don't have time to deal with you. Do you want to be shut up again?"

To everyone's surprise, the eight-foot-tall man showed excitement upon hearing this.

"If I continue, will you shut me up? Well, I'll keep talking."

Rio Futaba sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

"Please, be normal."

"Getting back to the main point, Kawasaki-san and Kitagawa-san have already seen the evil spirit with their own eyes, what should we do now?"

Although Rio Futaba seemed to be asking for everyone's opinion, all the members, including herself, turned their gazes to Yohoshi, who was sitting by the window.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Faced with the gazes of the women, Ye Xing simply waved her hand.

"The conditions for becoming an insider are not that you have witnessed evil spirits, but that you are able to provide help and have value."

"My standards have never changed."

"I haven't yet seen the value in Kitagawa Umimu and Kawasaki Saki."

After Ye Xing said these words, there was a brief silence in the room.

After a long while, Mai Sakurajima looked at him with a mixture of belief and doubt.
