In this anime crossover, who stole my module?

Just as Natsume Ryo was reflecting on this in his heart.

suddenly!

【Ding! 】

[Detected that Yotsuya Miko, holder of the "Urban Ghost Stories Module," has completed the achievement "Newcomer to Ghost Stories"!]

[The holder, Yotsuya Miko, has experienced a slight enhancement in her spiritual vision, improving her perception and understanding of ghost stories.]

"?"

See you?

Exorcism?

What is she doing?

Upon hearing the system notification sound, Natsume Ryo's expression froze slightly.

……

On the street near the Yotsuya family home.

"Hahaha……"

At this moment, Yotsuya Miko was supporting herself on her knees with both hands, panting heavily, her bangs soaked with sweat and clinging messily to her cheeks.

Her delicate, fair face, which always carried a hint of timidity, was now flushed with the rosy hue from the intense exercise.

but.

Even so, Yotsuya Miko's face still showed an uncontrollable excitement.

because.

—Not far in front of Yotsuya Miko.

"She saw it!"

"She saw me!"

"She saw me!!"

A low-level evil spirit, its form twisted and emanating a faint resentment, fled as if it had seen a ghost, tumbling and crawling towards the depths of an alley, uttering terrified roars of unknown meaning.

It was as if a terrifying natural enemy from the depths of hell was chasing it.

……

"yes……"

"I see you!"

"You can't run away!"

Watching the evil spirit flee in a disheveled state.

Jianzi was panting and calling out intermittently, her voice still somewhat weak.

But the confident tone terrified the evil spirit, causing it to flee in panic.

There was a time when she could only ignore these "things," using layers of disguise to protect herself, living cautiously and as if walking on thin ice.

But now, things are different!

When I left home this morning.

Yotsuya Miko keenly noticed the evil spirits that usually roamed around her house, making her want to avoid them.

When he saw her, he no longer glared at her like before; instead, he began to avoid her.

Everyone became cautious, even avoiding her gaze, as if she had suddenly become a terrifying presence.

This discovery both surprised and delighted Yotsuya Miko.

then.

She rushed home and opened the book "Illustrated Guide to Ghost Stories: From Beginner to Expert (Forbidden Collection Edition)" that Natsume Ryo had given her.

After a thorough investigation.

Yotsuya Miko finally found the answer.

The book records:

Beyond the mortal realm, the ladder to survival has been erected, and all things have their place.

The distinction between "spiritual attributes" is also a matter of the order of "existence."

Those in lower positions, gazing up at the majesty of those in higher positions, are like fireflies before the bright moon; their very existence is a form of submission.

The level of one's spiritual standing is not determined by age or physical form, but by the "origin" of their existence.

"Origin," the lineage of bloodline; those born noble, like the descendants of ancient gods, are naturally positioned at the pinnacle of all spirits.

"Faith," the collective thought of all beings, converges to form a god.

The spiritual standing of those who embody the will and power of the people rises accordingly with the number and devotion of their believers.

"Gnawing" is the most primitive, savage, yet also the most direct path to advancement.

[By devouring their own kind and seizing their essence to strengthen themselves, they climb the bloody ladder to higher ranks amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood.]

……

Because the content of "Illustrated Guide to Ghost Stories: From Beginner to Expert (Forbidden Collection Edition)" is too obscure.

Yotsuya Miko could only understand the general situation through her personal interpretation.

that is.

In this world, the vast majority of spirits, ghost stories, and deities are generally subject to strict hierarchical classifications.

Just like the big fish eat the small fish, the law of the jungle is the most fundamental law of this world.

Lower-level beings will instinctively fear higher-level beings.

and.

Unbeknownst to me, I have gradually climbed from a pitiful little fish at the bottom of the food chain, someone anyone could bully, to a relatively high position.

—Although I am still far from being as good as my predecessors.

However, in the eyes of these low-level evil spirits, it has grown from a small fish that can be bullied at will into a being that can make them feel threatened!

It's more than enough to deal with these insignificant low-level evil spirits!

This discovery instantly ignited the long-suppressed passion in Yotsuya Miko!

then.

After confirming it once again.

Yotsuya Miko gradually grew bolder and began, for the first time in her life, to actively confront those who had once made her tremble with fear!

— She chased those low-level evil spirits that used to scare her all over the streets, scaring them so much they wet themselves!

Even without possessing any means of attack.

However, the sheer power of their rank was enough to strike fear into those guys' hearts.

Especially the feeling of completely transforming from the prey to the hunter.

Don't be too cool!

Chapter 122 What I need to give to Miko: The Nurarihyon Plan, The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons!

It's a million times more refreshing than chugging a whole bottle of ice-cold cola on a hot summer day!

Just as Yotsuya Miko was about to press her advantage and drag out the low-level evil spirit that had fled deep into the alley to teach it a lesson—

Sudden--

Hey.

The cell phone in Miko Yotsuya's pocket vibrated slightly.

Because I had already set Natsume Ryo's Line account as a unique special follower.

Even the notification sounds were specially selected.

therefore.

The moment her phone vibrated, Miko Yotsuya immediately snapped out of her daze and frantically pulled out her phone...

He's a senior!

……

When you see a friend's message pop up on your phone screen.

It really is Natsume Ryoko.

Yotsuya Miko's eyes lit up, two suspicious blushes rose on her fair cheeks, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, outlining a sweet and shy arc.

then.

After replying to Natsume Ryo's message.

With a light tap of her fingertip, Yotsuya Miko quickly edited the text and sent it to the sender, detailing her brilliant victory.

[Yotsuya Miko: Yes! I'm here! Senpai!]

[Yotsuya Miko: But, Senpai! Senpai! I... I think... I think I successfully exorcised the spirit!]

[Yotsuya Miko: Although... although I only scared away a very, very weak evil spirit... but! This is the first time I've been able to confront those things head-on!]

[Yotsuya Miko: The "Illustrated Guide to Ghost Stories" you gave me, senpai, is really amazing! I just followed the instructions in the book and released my spiritual aura, and those evil spirits were so scared that they didn't dare to come near me at all!]

A series of messages were sent, even including cute emojis from my favorites.

Holding her phone, Miko Yotsuya anxiously awaited Ryo Natsume's reply.

……

at the same time.

The highest point of the Ferris wheel at the Chiba City Amusement Park.

Natsume Ryo stared at the messages on his phone screen, one after another from Yotsuya Miko, each word brimming with excitement, and the last emoji.

I can already picture the excited look on Yotsuya Miko's face right now.

“Lingaura…”

Natsume Ryo thought to himself.

That's true.

As recorded in "The Illustrated Guide to Ghost Stories," the suppression of spirits is indeed one of the unshakeable laws of the "inner world."

Meanwhile, after completing the tasks on the [Strange Investigation Request Form], Yotsuya Miko...

Her spiritual level was naturally enhanced to far surpass those low-level evil spirits formed from ordinary resentment.

But the problem is...

"Seeing this girl..."

"It seems that they haven't even come up with a decent method yet, but they dare to act so recklessly?"

Thinking of this, Natsume Ryo rubbed his temples in exasperation.

After all, with Yotsuya Miko's current spiritual level, dealing with those insignificant low-level evil spirits would be more than enough, and there would be no danger.

But what if?

What if she's unlucky and runs into a high-level evil spirit?

Wouldn't we be doomed?

but.

Think about it carefully.

Since Yotsuya Miko no longer rejects direct contact with those evil spirits.
