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

"It's not as strong as I imagined."

The masked woman took several steps back and stood at the elevator entrance. Her human face and ghostly face alternated and changed with the flickering sunlight outside the window, making her look extremely eerie.

"Is this what they call psychics, and the materialization of the soul?"

The masked woman scrutinized the Bone Woman, whose bones had become dull and almost pale gray, and the mockery on her face grew even more pronounced.

"But that's really boring."

Just as it finished speaking, a ding sound suddenly came from the elevator behind it.

What followed was Yotsuya Miko's emotionless, flat words, and the sound of a long sword slicing through the air.

"You're the boring one."

"clang!"

The masked woman raised her left arm. Although she appeared to be human, when it clashed with Mikazuki Munechika's pale golden blade, it produced a metallic clang.

"You... are the strongest one..."

The masked woman pressed her left arm forward, and two strange horns gradually grew from the top of her head. Her face became increasingly ferocious, and her eyes showed a twisted look of jealousy.

Yotsuya Miko showed no weakness, her golden eyes staring directly at the demon's face. She narrowed her eyes slightly, and instead of retreating, Mikazuki Munechika advanced, her body radiating a faint golden spiritual energy.

"The strongest one... hasn't appeared yet. Once he comes out, you'll know what true terror is."

"come out?"

The masked woman smiled cruelly and slowly spoke.

“From now on, there will be no more ‘doors’ appearing, and that exorcist will never be able to leave the inner world for the rest of his life.”

At this point, the masked woman heard the sound of the security door behind her opening, and another masked face appeared on the back of her head, staring directly at Rio Futaba who came out of the door.

"Just wanted to say hello."

The two ghostly faces spoke at the same time, their voices mingling together, creating a grating and irritating effect.

"Your bodies and spiritual abilities will all belong to me."

Before the red threads of the town's deity could be tied to it, the masked woman flashed out of the window and disappeared without a trace.

..........

Five minutes later, in Touma Kazusa's house, in the spacious room that is usually used for practicing piano and is filled with soundproofing cotton.

Rio Futaba, Miko Yotsuya, Yui Yuigahama, Yasakani no Hitoshi, Mai Sakurajima, Hina Amano, and Yukinoshita Haruno, who recently became a psychic, are all among them.

As for the remaining members...

Yotsuya Miko decided not to tell them about this discussion yet.

After all, the other members are just ordinary people. This is different from a Tokyo tour or a regular commission from the Superpower Society. This is a genuine battle between psychics and evil spirits.

There's no need to put so much psychological pressure on them.

"I know everyone is very tired."

Rio Futaba looked at the tired members in front of her, adjusted her glasses, and said calmly.

"However, before we rest, we still have a lot of information to sort out, the most important of which is the evil spirit we just encountered."

Having read countless ghost stories from the Cherry Blossom Prefecture, Yotsuya Miko had already guessed the identity of the masked woman, after all, her appearance was just too distinctive.

"It is Prajna."

"Prajna?"

Upon hearing this name, Yui Yuigahama frowned.

"Didn't we already kill one during the operation at the Kyoto Municipal Kindergarten before?"

"There is more than one Prajna."

Yotsuya Miko shook her head and sighed softly.

"As long as people still know the story of Prajna and feel fear because of it, Prajna will continue to emerge. As for this one... we don't yet know exactly which factors determine the innate strength of this type of evil spirit. We still know too little about this kind of existence."

Yukinoshita rested her chin on one hand, looking utterly bored.

"Why it happened isn't important; what's important is how strong that guy is, right?"

"Very strong."

Both Miko Yotsuya and Rio Futaba gave this assessment.

"It's not surprising that my Bone Maiden couldn't break through my defenses, after all, I've consumed too much spiritual energy and my condition is really bad."

"But even Mikazuki Munechika couldn't inflict any effective damage. Putting aside everything else, this Hannya's physical strength and power far surpass that of Ushi no Toki."

Mai Sakurajima asked the most crucial question.

"So, is this Prajna the mastermind behind it all?"

"No, I think it's unlikely."

Rio Futaba sighed, shook her head, and said thoughtfully.

"Human fears are diverse, making it difficult to ascertain the identity of Prajna's other companion. Hopefully, only one companion remains, but what is their true identity?"

"There are countless legends and stories about ghosts and monsters circulating all over the world."

"Although the evil spirits that have appeared this time are all based on stories within the Sakura Province, it cannot be ruled out that the mastermind behind them is some kind of Western creature such as a vampire or a werewolf."

"Moreover... there's also the fear that humans have of disasters, weather, and even the fear of certain atmospheres, like that of a tram. With so many possibilities, I can't possibly analyze the other party's true identity, and there's no need to guess blindly."

"As for the white door... let's take it one step at a time. We really need to deal with the most urgent matter first."

After hearing Rio Futaba's analysis, Yukino Yukinoshita remained silent for a few seconds before suddenly speaking.

"Now that we know the other party's identity is Prajna, could it be that what it craves, and the targets it prefers, are similar to the legendary Prajna?"

Yotsuya immediately understood what Yono meant.

"You mean... since it's Prajna, the targets it chooses are like the legends, young women and children?"

"Personally, I think that's most likely the case."

"That's one idea."

Rio Futaba tried to think more, but felt like her brain was a mess, and her thoughts had completely stopped.

Noticing her expression, Yotsuya Miko stood up and waved.

"In short, let's rest and recover our strength first. If we continue to deplete our strength, the next time we see that Prajna, he alone will probably be enough to wipe us out."

"agree."

After the other members left and went back to their rooms to rest, Rio Futaba stayed in the room with Miko Yotsuya.

silence.

This silence lasted for nearly half a minute.

A few tears suddenly appeared in Yotsuya Miko's golden eyes.

"Can Ye Xing... ever come back...?"

"Ugh."

Rio Futaba sighed softly, stood up and walked over, pulling Yotsuya Miko's head into her arms, stroking her long, dark blue hair. Her petite body became Yotsuya Miko's safe haven at this moment, and she gently comforted her.

"Don't you know what evil spirits are like? We've tried so many ways to prevent the 'door' from appearing, but we haven't been able to. Prajna's statement that there will be no more 'doors' is just a little trick to disturb our minds."

Yotsuya Miko raised her head with teary eyes, revealing that long-lost expression of weakness, helplessness, and pitifulness.

"But..."

"Do not worry."

Rio Futaba took out a tissue from her pocket, wiped away the tears on Miko Yotsuya's face, and smiled.

"Don't you understand that guy's personality?"

“Even if the ‘door’ doesn’t appear, he will feast in the inner world and accumulate enough power to find a way to leave on his own.”

"Besides, if all else fails, you can always walk from Kyoto to Tokyo like that Mr. Killing Demon, then leave the Otherworld through the 'Gate,' and finally take the train back."

"Do not worry."

On this day, Superpower officially entered a new era, the duration of which is unknown.

The story is set on the day Night Star was trapped in the Otherworld and disappeared.

Historically known as the Star Hidden Calendar.

Episode 232: The Battle of Kyoto Tower, the Return of the "Masked"

The strongest exorcist, the number one eroge (adult content) shooter in Kyoto, the goddess of harems, the nemesis of love triangles and stock speculation, Yoruhoshi, the seventh day after disappearing from the world.

During this time, the members of the Xyz Squad, including Yukinoshita Haruno, who had just become a psychic, continued their search in Kyoto.

turn out.......

Got nothing.

There was no "door," nor any trace of the Prajna or its other companion, and even the frequency of ordinary evil spirits appearing was decreasing significantly.

The members are all very clear about it.

Beneath the seemingly calm sea lies a conspiracy, the timing and method of which are unknown, but one that will undoubtedly result in the deaths and injuries of many humans.

However, there was one thing that Rio Futaba didn't understand.

If the white door that could trigger earthquakes was merely a coincidence, and the evil spirit didn't possess the power to manipulate disasters...

So what is the point of all this after the plan failed?

Indeed, Prajna and another higher evil spirit possess the ability to summon and command those lower evil spirits.

But in the end, only those two are left.

Another power outage?

Damage to just two power plants wouldn't affect Kyoto's power supply at all. Besides, the members of the Superpower Society have already recovered to their peak strength. Especially after the last battle, although their spiritual abilities haven't improved much, their combat experience has definitely increased. They've also gained more information about the higher evil spirits that have taken over human bodies.
