When the hodgepodge world of anime meets the shadow king

On the road in the town, Yukino Yukinoshita, Kato Megumi, and Kitahara Akatsuki walked together tacitly.

"Oh~! A shrine maiden!" Kitahara Akira suddenly exclaimed

The sun shines on the ground, casting a golden glow. In this tranquility, a white-haired girl in a witch costume is dancing with a magic weapon on a platform not far away.

She danced lightly like a fairy descending from the earth. Every time she waved her magic weapon, it was like a flower swaying in the wind, graceful and agile; every turn she made was like a star twinkling in the night sky, dazzling and brilliant.

Her dance seems to be not just a performance, but a ritual of communication with the power of heaven and earth. If you observe carefully, you can find that she tells ancient stories with her body language, incorporating the wisdom accumulated over the years.

The breeze gently blew through her hair and skirt, as if it was also attracted and intoxicated by this beautiful dance.

The air around her seemed to become heavy because of her presence. People couldn't help but hold their breath, fearing that this sacred atmosphere would be broken.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, only the figure of the white-haired girl was shining in the sun, becoming the focus of the entire picture.

"Hmm?" Kitahara Akira suddenly frowned.

I don't know if he saw it wrongly, but it seems that the girl has two cat ears growing on her head?

After blinking, the cat ears were gone, and the people around him didn't react.

"Hiss......!" He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist, and Kitahara Xiao couldn't help but gasp.

Kato Hui withdrew her hand faintly, "Xiaojun, your gaze is too obvious."

Kitahara Xiao then noticed that due to his unobstructed gaze, the miko on the stage was looking at them expressionlessly.

Yukinoshita Yukino put her hand on her forehead shyly, "Although I have anticipated the degree of perversion of Kitahara-kun, could you please restrain your gaze for a moment?"

"Ahem." Kitahara Xiao retracted her gaze and said, "That's what I call appreciating art. Besides, I'm just a little interested in that pair of cat ears."

"Cat ears?" They both asked in confusion.

Kitahara Akira frowned, "Didn't you see it?"

Yukinoshita Yukino and Kato Megumi looked at each other and said "No"

Kitahara Akira told the two what he had just seen.

Yukinoshita Yukino put her hand on her chin and said, "I didn't detect any abnormal energy fluctuations. It shouldn't be an illusion or a trick."

Any illusion or something like that cannot be hidden from the Mind Stone.

Kato Megumi thought for a moment, "Could it be a monster?"

She still remembered that she and Kitahara Akatsuki had met a fox demon living in the city in the supermarket. This small town in the countryside was also suitable for demon life.

"It shouldn't be." Kitahara Akatsuki shook his head and denied her. "Unless it is a great demon like Tamamonomae in the legend, it is impossible for it to escape my recognition."

"Should we arrest her and interrogate her?" Kato Hui's hand clenched tightly around the hatchet, ready to act at any time.

After so many crises, she has developed an extraordinary level of caution, and would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Kato Megumi with some surprise. In her impression, Kato Megumi's personality shouldn't be so...cold, right?

Kitahara Xiao hesitated for a moment. "No need. Her energy fluctuations are very weak. Maybe she can't perfectly control the appearance of her ears. Maybe it's just a curse or something."

"Is that so..." Kato Hui replied calmly, and quickly retracted the hatchet in her hand.

"Alright, alright," Kitahara Akatsuki saw the shrine maiden's dance performance end, and smiled at the two of them, "We finally got out to relax, don't be so serious, shall we go shopping again?"

...............................Dividing line...........................

There were crowds of people coming to worship in front of the shrine in the small town, and Kitahara Akira and the other two were among them.

"Kitahara-kun!" A familiar female voice came from around the crowd.

Yukinoshita Yukino and Kato Megumi instantly perked up and turned their attention to the person coming from behind.

Yotsuya Miko, who was taking small steps, froze her smile when she saw this. She only saw Kitahara Akira because of the crowd, and didn't notice Yukinoshita Yukino and Kato Megumi on both sides.

Shouldn't she have shouted?

"Yotani?" Kitahara Akira looked at Yotani Miko and the three musketeers behind her. "You guys are here too?"

"Are you here to pay homage?"

"Almost." Iai-an smiled. "I heard that wishes made at this shrine are very effective."

"Yes, I hope my skin can be as white as Jianzi's." Qiu Wudachi still had a clipped tone.

"I heard that there is a magic sword in this shrine that can kill demons. Whoever can pull it out can own it." In the end, the honest and simple samurai drill revealed their true purpose.

Kitahara Xiao smiled helplessly. This actually matched his impression of the swordsman.

Several people entered the shrine together

In a very conspicuous place, a katana was inserted upright in the stone, which reminded Kitahara Akira of King Arthur's Sword in the Stone.

But the problem is...

"Kitahara-kun," Yukino Yukinoshita whispered, "That knife looks familiar."

"It seems so..." Kato Megumi looked at the sign hanging at the event site with some uncertainty, "[Murame Maru]?"

"Ah..." Kitahara Xiao held his forehead with his hand, "That's it"

The appearance and name of that "divine sword" are exactly the same as the [Cong Yu Wan] that he owned and used!

If his sword had not been obtained by the system, Kitahara Xiao would have suspected that it was a brother sword.

"Do you want to try it?" Kato Megumi pointed to the sword-drawing activity and said, "This seems to be the iconic activity here."

"Well, let's go together," Kitahara Akira agreed.

He also wanted to see if this was just a simple coincidence of appearance and name, or if it was the so-called "allotropes from different universes"

After waiting in line for a while, after Yotsuya Miko and the Three Musketeers tried to pull out [Souyu Maru] without using pure brute force, but all failed, it was finally Kitahara Akira's turn.

Kitahara Akira stood in front of the stone and held the handle of [Murayu Maru] with one hand.

As soon as they touched, the familiar touch was transmitted to Kitahara Xiao's palm.

Yes, that's it

Kitahara Xiao exerted a little force, and the [Cong Yu Wan] that was previously welded to the stone was easily pulled out by him.

The snow-white blade exudes a cold light, and has not been eroded by the years of being stuck in the stone.

"oh!!!"

The crowd below was completely excited, and flash cameras kept recording this scene.

The legendary sword that can cut off evil spirits was pulled out for the first time!

"Hmm?" Kitahara Akatsuki placed the [Murayu Pill] flat in front of him.

This sword seems to be a little different from the [Cong Yu Wan] he has. It has more... vitality?!

"Be quiet, all irrelevant personnel please leave!" Several staff members at the scene were also startled by the pulled out [Cong Yu Wan], but they quickly restored order.

Soon, only Kitahara Akira and the other two were left at the scene.
