Yin Yang Masters, since ancient times, have been led by an extremely powerful Yin Yang Master. Even all Yin Yang Masters and yokai would bow their heads when they heard that name—that person, was called—Abe no Seimei!
After Abe no Seimei's death, Yin Yang Masters gradually divided into two factions. One faction primarily relied on traditional Yin Yang techniques, using talismans to subdue shikigami, their abilities unpredictable and mystical. The leading family is the Kaedehara family, where Kaedehara Yuzuru belongs.
The other faction, while also using talismans, primarily focuses on battle strategies that don't rely on shikigami, but rather on cursed seals!
By enhancing themselves with talismans, they utilize cursed seals as weapons to eliminate impurities!
For centuries, friction between the two factions continued, but neither could prevail over the other, until the present day.
Previously, Kaedehara Yuzuru firmly believed that shikigami and traditional Yin Yang techniques were the strongest. But today, her inability to summon shikigami against the yokai, and Nakano Yu's powerful kick that shattered the Old Rat,
made Kaedehara Yuzuru question her lifelong faith.
“I am not a Yin Yang Master. I am an independent existence above Yin Yang Masters and yokai.”
Glancing deeply at Kaedehara Yuzuru, Nakano Yu shook his head and gave a negative answer.
He is a God Slayer, a being both cursed and blessed by the gods, an existence far beyond Yin Yang Masters and yokai.
“Is Yu… a superpowered person?”
Hearing Nakano Yu's words, Ichika suddenly remembered the serious tone and expression of Nino last night. She leaned out and asked.
“Well, Ichika, whatever you think I am, I can be Ultraman too.”
The boy nodded, joking with Ichika.
Hearing this, Ichika instantly realized that Nakano Yu was teasing her about calling herself Ultraman last night!
Her face flushed, and she pinched Nakano Yu's waist.
Really, Yu has such abilities, why didn't he show us earlier? He just said it verbally, who would believe it normally?
Noticing Ichika's small actions, Nakano Yu smiled sheepishly.
Looking at Nakano Yu and Ichika, Kaedehara Yuzuru took a deep breath. If she remembered correctly, Ichika said Nakano Yu was her brother, but why did they behave so intimately? It didn't feel like the relationship between siblings, but more like… a couple?
Shaking her head, Kaedehara Yuzuru stopped thinking about it. She contemplated the meaning of Nakano Yu's words about being "an existence far beyond Yin Yang Masters and yokai," then thanked him again before leaving.
Within a short time, the spacious villa hall was left with only Nakano Yu and Ichika.
“Alright, Ichika, you can come out now.”
Nakano Yu noticed that Ichika's condition had improved, and he opened his arms that were holding her, allowing Ichika to come out.
Hearing Nakano Yu's words, Ichika emerged from the boy's embrace. Though she felt a little reluctant, she always considered Nakano Yu as her family. Staying in his arms for so long wouldn't be appropriate.
But… Yu's embrace is so comforting. I wonder which woman will get lucky and have him…
“Then… that… Nakano-san?”
Ichika was still thinking about this when she suddenly heard Arima Kana's meek voice coming from behind.
Turning her head, she saw Arima Kana leaning against the iron cage door, looking at her with a pale complexion.
Arima Kana was truly helpless. She finally got a chance to audition, but was inexplicably captured by the yokai. Even after being rescued, she was the only one left, with no one else she knew. She only had a brief encounter with Nakano Ichika and talked to her a few times.
Currently, Arima Kana felt like a lone boat in the vast ocean. She was truly alone.
“Arima-san! You're awake?”
Seeing Arima Kana's awkward expression, Ichika quickly stepped forward and supported her.
She didn't know much about Arima Kana, but their previous interactions made Ichika feel that this girl, who seemed similar in age to her, had many worries.
Nakano Yu also looked at Arima Kana, and when he saw the red-haired girl's face, he was stunned.
Arima Kana, it seems like it's been a long time since he last saw her.
Nakano Yu certainly knew Arima Kana. Although in his previous life he wasn't a hardcore anime otaku, he still watched anime frequently to pass the time. After coming to this world, he often saw Little Kana on television.
However, those were all childhood memories. After Nakano Yu entered junior high school, Arima Kana basically disappeared from television.
Thinking about this, Nakano Yu walked towards Arima Kana.
“Thank you, Nakano-san.”
Supported by Ichika, Arima Kana finally felt that it was nice to have someone she knew. She softly expressed her gratitude.
“No, it's nothing.”
Ichika smiled and shook her head.
“You are… Arima Kana?”
At this time, Nakano Yu also walked over, pretending to have just recognized the girl, and spoke her name.
Hearing this, Arima Kana looked at Nakano Yu in astonishment. She didn't remember knowing this boy in front of her.
If she wasn't mistaken, this boy must be the boyfriend of the Nakano beside her, considering how intimate they were just now.
How nice, if she had a boyfriend like this, she wouldn't be struggling alone in the entertainment industry…
Moreover, this boy also has abilities that ordinary people don't have.
Thinking about this, Arima Kana couldn't help but glance at the giant rat corpse on the ground.
But how could he know her name?
Could it be that such a powerful person is her fan? No, no, that's impossible. Perhaps he saw her somewhere and just randomly remembered her name.
“Ah, I forgot to introduce him. This is Nakano Yu, my brother. By the way, Yu, how do you know Arima-san?”
Seeing this, Ichika introduced Nakano Yu, then looked at the boy with a puzzled expression and asked.
Although Arima Kana is very cute, Nakano Yu shouldn't know her, and he can even call her by name.
Could it be that Arima Kana is actually very famous, just something she doesn't know?
“Doesn't Ichika know? Arima Kana was a very popular child star back in the day, I often saw her on TV.”
Seeing Ichika's inquiry, Nakano Yu made up an excuse that he had already thought of, and as he spoke, he looked at Arima Kana.
Hearing Nakano Yu's answer, the silent Arima Kana suddenly froze. She looked up at the handsome boy, her large amber eyes full of disbelief.
He… he actually… he actually remembers me?!
Arima Kana was filled with surprise. She was surprised that Nakano Yu remembered her. She wasn't forgotten by everyone. She was happy that Nakano Yu, unlike others, didn't treat her like a washed-up child star, but actually remembered her!
It's really, amazing. Not being forgotten, the feeling of being remembered by someone, is truly…
Amazing!
