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

"The opportunity... is indeed not to be missed... but..."

Shuten-dōji and Hannya looked at the crowd outside, their hearts filled with hesitation.

A few meters ahead, away from Kyoto Tower, even though the area is full of armed police officers, these high-level evil spirits can quickly escape.

But having finally seized the opportunity when the exorcist was at his weakest, are we just going to watch it slip through our fingers?

Just as Shuten-dōji and Hannya were hesitating, a loud bang suddenly came from outside the Kyoto Tower.

"boom!"

Even the ground trembled with the sound, as if an earthquake was about to break out.

At that moment, not only Shuten-dōji and Hannya inside the Kyoto Tower, but also the police officers outside, the reporters and photographers broadcasting live from the TV station, and the onlookers all looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, what Shuten-dōji and Hannya first saw was a pair of eyes hidden beneath a black mask, filled with madness and ecstasy.

"Finally, it's the last one. Only the two of you are left for the main course that I've been looking forward to."

234 The competition of mutual devouring, an interview with Chief Yagami.

"'Mask'..."

Soichiro Yagami, who was in charge of directing the police officers on site, was slightly stunned when he saw Yosei descend from the top of Kyoto Tower in such a superhero-like manner, with cracks appearing in the floor tiles around her feet, and emerge from the smoke and dust. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his usually serious and unsmiling square face.

"This guy... still has that same high-profile style... hasn't changed at all..."

Rio Futaba and Miko Yotsuya, as the temporary leaders of the Xyz Squad, were also well-liked by Soichiro Yagami.

But in his heart, the person he could truly trust completely, the one who could resolve any situation...

Only "mask".

Soichiro Yagami is also a fan of Kamen Rider.

Meanwhile, at Touma Kazusa's house.

"'Mask,' it's 'Mask'! He's finally back!"

Seeing Kawasaki Saki, Makinohara Shoko, Yukinoshita Haruno, and even the usually expressionless and cool Touma Kazusa and the taciturn Yukinoshita Yukino, all with excited and thrilled expressions when they saw "Mask" appear on the live television broadcast, Kitagawa Haimu couldn't help but pause for a moment and hesitate.

"Aren't you... all fans of 'Masked'?"

Upon hearing Kitagawa Kaimu's question, Kawasaki Saki and the others, as well as Menma whom Kitagawa Kaimu couldn't see, belatedly realized something.

The other person was the only one among the members present who did not know the true identity of "Masked".

In Kitagawa Kaimu's eyes, "Masked" is someone unattainable... calling him a hero... doesn't quite fit. In short, he's a famous figure that she occasionally discusses with her friends, but who has absolutely no connection to her own life.

Seeing Yukino Yukinoshita and the others getting so excited just from seeing "Masked" appear on the live TV screen, Kitagawa Kaimu was starting to panic.

Did I join the wrong club?

Could it be that this group is full of "masked" supporters?

Isn't it the Supernatural Quantum Mechanics Research Society?

How did it turn into a fan club?

At this moment, Kitagawa Kaimu gained a new attribute.

Within the Super Quantity Society, he was the only one kept in the dark.

In short, Mengguren.

........

This live television coverage of the Kyoto Tower incident garnered widespread attention in Kyoto City.

Citizens watching on television immediately put down their remote controls and stared intently at the screen when they saw "Masked," who had reappeared on live television a month after the Teru Teru Bozu Killer incident.

In an instant, Kyoto TV's viewership ratings skyrocketed.

The entire city of Kyoto was watching this live broadcast.

Meanwhile, the person in the live broadcast was completely oblivious to the stares of those around them.

In his eyes, there were only Hannya and Shuten-dōji, who stood there dumbfounded inside the gate of Kyoto Tower.

"Now..."

Ye Xing took out a silver nail about thirty centimeters long from his pocket.

What was clearly just an ordinary, sharp silver nail caused a change in the expressions of Hannya and Shuten-dōji.

In their view, the nail was not silver at all.

It was covered with extremely thick black smoke, and surrounded by a sharp, silvery-white spiritual energy.

This...is a magical artifact!

Shuten-dōji and Hannya simply did not understand that, in their minds, no weapon imbued with spiritual power was shaped like a nail.

This is way too bizarre!

"I'm coming to see you."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ye Xing slowly walked towards Hannya and Shuten-dōji, who were standing inside the Kyoto Tower.

The two evil spirits' expressions changed, and they couldn't help but back away.

The TV reporter witnessed this scene and was even giving a passionate commentary.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as you can see, after 'Masked Man' appeared, the two suspects wearing ghost masks are retreating as if they are afraid of him!"

"The nemesis of criminals, the mysterious hero of Kyoto City, 'Masked'!"

The members of the Superpower Society were undoubtedly the happiest about the sudden appearance of Night Star.

Further on, however, were not the police officers and Soichiro Yagami present, but rather television reporters.

I can't believe my luck is so good today! "Masked" actually showed up during the live stream!

If I had the chance to do another interview...

This level of attention is bound to explode!

As they watched Ye Xing approach step by step, and feeling the oppressive aura emanating from him, Hannya and Shuten-dōji exchanged a glance, and then simultaneously ran towards the top of the stairwell.

so horrible.

Even though the other party could no longer maintain the domain, the fact that this guy was able to come out of the inner world proves that even the sudden communication cutoff, power outage, and earthquake—all of which caused panic among the people of Kyoto City and gathered into a powerful evil spirit—had been killed by the other party.

Faced with such a record, Shuten-dōji and Hannya simply couldn't muster the courage to confront Yoru-sei head-on.

Watching the two hideous evil spirits flee in a panic towards the top of the stairwell, Ye Xing simply shook his head and chuckled.

"A futile struggle."

.......

Shuten-dōji and Hannya ran up the stairs, only to find Rio Futaba, Mai Sakurajima, and Miko Yotsuya blocking their way.

"Want to run?"

Rio Futaba stared directly at Hannya and spoke in a cold voice.

"The battle between us is far from over."

"Get away!!!"

Although Hannya feared the power of Yoru, she completely disregarded Futaba Rio, with whom she had fought.

The pale bone spurs formed by the opponent's spiritual power were nothing more than tree branches that could be easily broken in the face of its power.

Without the slightest hesitation, Hannya unleashed a ferocious aura from both of his demonic masks, his fangs gleaming with cold light, and lunged directly at Rio Futaba above the stairs.

"No need for help, I can do it myself."

Upon hearing Rio Futaba's words, Miko Yotsuya and Mai Sakurajima, who had originally intended to make a move, both nodded and silently took two steps back.

"Tear off the disguise..."

Rio Futaba looked at Hannya, who had already pounced on her, and a sharp, white bone spur extended from her palm.

"Bone Woman".

"Ah."

Looking at the sharp, white bone spur hurtling toward her face, Prajna merely let out a disdainful sneer, grabbing it with both hands and saying contemptuously.

"Still resorting to attacks like that? They really don't learn their lesson..."

Just as Prajna was halfway through her sentence, she noticed something was amiss.

A week ago, when she was fighting Rio Futaba, she broke the bone spikes that Rio had created like tree branches with just a little effort, or even no effort at all.

But this time...

Even though Prajna used all her strength, it was like a child trying to bend a hard iron bar; nothing happened.

"how come..."

Looking at the incredulous expression on Hannya's ugly demon face, Rio Futaba spoke softly.

“The embodiment of the soul is the power formed from the user’s inner self.”

"But now my heart is not as confused as it was back then."

As soon as she finished speaking, the pale white bone spike created by Rio Futaba burst open like fireworks, extending dozens of equally sharp bone spikes that directly shattered Hannya's hands.

"Damn it... mere humans..."

Prajna looked at his hands, which had turned into black smoke and dissipated, and knelt on the ground. His demonic face was ferocious and twisted, and he let out a painful roar.

Without the slightest hesitation, Rio Futaba used the bone spur to pierce through Hannya's demon face, also piercing through the demon face on the back of his head.

"solve."

Ultimately, Hannya still didn't understand the true nature of the powers of Rio Futaba and others, who were psychics.

The embodiment of the soul is the power formed by the manifestation of the user's true inner self.

Prajna was battling mental exhaustion, her brain was overloaded, she hadn't slept all night, and most importantly...

Rio Futaba, worried about Yohoshi's safety and unsure of what to do next,
