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

"Hmm... Although my body has grown, it doesn't seem to have changed my illness. It's as if I grew to the age of sixteen overnight."

"That's it..."

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded noncommittally and looked at the other members.

"Although I don't quite understand the specific causes of puberty syndrome, judging from Makinohara's description, the reason she developed the disease was not out of fear of death, but out of a desire to grow up. So here's the question."

Yukino Yukinoshita remained calm and spoke slowly.

"Why is it sixteen? Why not fifteen? Eighteen? Twenty? Why is it the same age group as us? In a phenomenon like puberty syndrome, which tends to be more of a superstition, this is probably not just a simple coincidence."

As the top strategist of the Superpower Society, Yukino Yukinoshita noticed this, so naturally Rio Futaba also noticed it.

only...

Because she knows more than Yukino, she is now considering more factors.

Seeing that Rio Futaba looked absent-minded and seemed to be thinking about something, Saki Kawasaki couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Futaba, have you thought of a solution?"

"this..."

Rio Futaba looked hesitant, glancing at Shoko Makinohara and then at Yohoshi, before finally changing the subject.

"I don't have any ideas, you guys go ahead and say what you think."

Upon hearing this, Yui Yuigahama, Miko Yotsuya, and Mai Sakurajima all sensed that something was amiss.

Does Rio Futaba have no ideas?

This is the same super-duplex that, when in doubt, turns to quantum mechanics.

How could I not have any ideas?

Could it be that Rio Futaba already has a clue, but just doesn't want to say it in front of Shoko Makinohara?

Is it something that's difficult to talk about?

Do not understand.

Seeing everyone discussing their puberty syndrome, Makinohara Shoko suddenly did something that surprised everyone present.

She silently stood up from the sofa, walked to Ye Xing's side, straightened her skirt, and sat down directly next to her.

The air in the room fell silent.

Seeing that the other members were all staring at her, Makinohara Shoko smiled gently and tucked a strand of long hair behind her ear.

"Sisters, keep talking, don't worry about me."

The women looked at each other.

Can this be ignored?

No, Makinohara-kun, what do you mean by this?

What is the balance of power in a chaotic battlefield?

Didn't you notice that even Touma Kazusa, who is the most aloof, possessive, and not very familiar with the other members, didn't sit next to Yosei on this occasion, but instead sat alone?

Since we can't sit together, let's just not sit together.

That's what you call a delicate balance of understanding.

However, Makinohara Shoko's sudden actions at this moment broke this balance.

only...

Yui Yuigahama opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but then suddenly realized that Makinohara Shoko had only physically grown to the age of sixteen. Ultimately, her mental age was still that of an elementary school student, similar to Menma's.

Would she really think that way?

Thinking back... Makinohara Shoko did show her admiration for Yohoshi, her older brother.

This makes sense.

After all, in Makinohara Shoko's eyes, Yoshinori was the hero who saved her life and destroyed that powerful evil spirit.

The issue is...

Is it really just simple hero worship?

Is there something else in this?

It shouldn’t be that serious, right?

Just as the women were hesitating, a brave man took the initiative and made the first move.

"Then I want to sit too."

Touma Kazusa stood up and walked over to sit next to Yohoshi.

She didn't care about any of that, like the air, the atmosphere, or Makinohara Shoko's mental age.

Touma Kazusa only knows one thing.

If Makinohara Shoko can sit here, why can't I, Touma Kazusa, sit here?

If this kind of thinking were in the old feudal imperial era, he would be considered a traitor at the highest level.

Take a seat, and sit down.

Seeing how fast Touma Kazusa was, Kawasaki Saki was extremely annoyed.

Of everyone, only she sensed that something was wrong with Makinohara Shoko.

After all, she has a fan who is younger than Makinohara Shoko.

The way her younger sister, Jinghua, looked at Yexing was exactly the same as the way Makinohara Shoko looked at him.

This is definitely not just simple worship.

She wants to marry him!

Too dangerous.

"By the way, ladies."

Shoko Makinohara maintained her sweet smile and spoke softly.

"Now that I'm all grown up, can I join your club?"

"this..."

Mai Sakurajima and the others exchanged bewildered glances, unsure how to respond.

They did say that they told Makinohara Shoko to take good care of herself and that when they grew up, she would become a member of the Superpower Club.

The key point is that it was just something I said at the time.

Who knew Shoko Makinohara would grow up so fast!?

It's fine now.

What should we do? Should we let her join, or not?

Even though he's grown up, he still has a heart condition and can't ride roller coasters, let alone get exorcised.

"Yori, Miko, Mai, Yui, come in with me."

Rio Futaba seemed to have finally made up her mind. She suddenly stood up, said something, and walked towards the second floor.

Seeing Yoshiki stand up, Makinohara Shoko also stood up and affectionately hugged his arm, speaking softly.

"Brother Yexing, I also want to join the discussion."

"let go."

Before Yoruhoshi could answer, Touma Kazusa stood up, grabbed Makinohara Shoko's wrist, and said coldly.

"If they don't call you, just sit still."

"OK then."

Shoko Makinohara did not show any displeasure, nor did she argue much. She simply smiled and replied before sitting back on the sofa, speaking casually.

"Touma-neechan, a girl as fierce as you won't be wanted by anyone in the future."

Upon hearing the words "nobody wants her," Touma Kazusa, who was usually expressionless, frowned slightly, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. A hint of coldness flashed in her delicate, slender eyes as she spoke in a cold voice.

"Do you care?"

Shoko Makinohara maintained her sweet smile, but her words struck a nerve with Kazusa Touma.

"A guy as outstanding as Yohoshi-nii probably prefers someone with a gentler personality, don't you think, Touma-neechan?"

Seeing Touma Kazusa biting her lip, unable to speak, and Makinohara Shoko's sweet smile that remained on her face throughout, Kawasaki Saki's heart sank.

Are there any experts?

To be able to pinpoint Touma Kazusa's weakness and deliver such a precise strike... this girl...

Not simple.

.......

Meanwhile, inside the study on the second floor.

Rio Futaba looked at the people in front of her, especially at Yohoshi, before slowly speaking.

"There might be a solution to Makinohara's heart condition."

Upon hearing this, Yui Yuigahama was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed with delight.

"Really? As expected of Rio, she even thought of that!"

"Don't rush to brag, listen to what I have to say first, you might not be able to accept it."

Rio Futaba sighed heavily, observing the expressions of the people in front of her.

Miko Yotsuya and Yui Yuigahama looked puzzled.

After calling these people over, Mai Sakurajima seemed to have thought of something, looking conflicted and unsure of where to begin.

Night Star...

It was still Ye Xing, with a lazy, frivolous smile on her face, showing no surprise whatsoever.
