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

At this point, Rio Futaba, like a shy ostrich, shielded herself from the still-burning fireworks.

Her pretty face was hidden behind the dazzling fireworks, and her soft, shy voice, accompanied by the crackling of the flames, came from between the two of them.

"But this time, it's different because you're with me."

After saying that, Rio Futaba seemed to have overloaded her brain, and her whole body felt like a dying fish, as if she was suffocating.

I'm so nervous, so incredibly nervous.

"correct."

Rio Futaba threw the nearly burnt-out fireworks on the ground, took another handful from Yohoshi's hand, lit them, and spoke.

"Regarding the selection of new members, now that you've found someone with special abilities, why not recruit her into the club?"

"The situation is not that simple."

Rio Futaba asked, puzzled.

Is it because of his bad character?

"That's not it."

"Is it because you don't want to join?"

"Although she initially refused, I had a way to get her to join."

"Could it be...?"

Rio Futaba drawled out the last syllable, squinted her eyes, and stared intently at Yoru, speaking each word carefully.

"Could it be because she's not your type?"

Ye Xing's expression changed, and he waved his hand very seriously to explain.

"Hey, Futaba-san, what are you saying? I'm not that kind of person."

Just as Rio Futaba was about to say that she was just joking, she heard Yohoshi add a sentence.

"I have never had a preferred type. I only follow one principle: as long as they are good-looking, any type is fine."

Hearing him say such outrageous things, Rio Futaba wished she could stick the still-burning firework in her hand directly into Yohoshi's face.

But as soon as she looked up and saw his handsome face, she felt a pang of guilt.

Forget it.

The face of Night Star does not belong to Night Star.

Logically speaking, this should belong to me and Jianzi, since we look at it every day.

Ye Xing himself couldn't see what he looked like every moment.

Rio Futaba thought to herself, "What if it really gets burned out?"

In the end, I'm the one who suffers the loss.

"What exactly is the reason?"

Night Star replied calmly.

"Let's talk about it during the lunch break on Monday when we have a meeting. After all, Xyzance isn't just mine, and we're not like Light Yagami, an outsider. I can't make this decision on behalf of all the members."

"Alright."

Rio Futaba nodded and threw the firework that had burned out again onto the ground.

She then patted the dust off her hands, took out a pack of tissues from her pocket, carefully wrapped up the burnt-out fireworks and the ashes, folded the tissues, and threw them into the trash can next to her.

After doing all this, she squatted down on the ground, looking adorably like she was starting to give up.

"I can't walk anymore."

"I have a way."

Yohoshi walked up to Rio Futaba, whose heart pounded and who suddenly felt a little nervous.

Coming?

She was carried on Ye Xing's back, her chest pressed tightly against his back.

Both legs were supported by the other person's hands.

And her chin rested on the other person's shoulder, her breath brushing against Ye Xing's neck.

Just imagining that scene made Rio Futaba feel a tickle in her heart, and she blushed.

She wanted to get close to Ye Xing.

But then, Rio Futaba suddenly felt her body become lighter.

"Eh...Eh!!!"

Rio Futaba was very petite, so Yohoshi simply lifted her up with one hand and placed her on his shoulder.

"Hey!!! That's not what I meant!!!"

Ideally, it would be a boy carrying a girl on his back, their bodies rubbing against each other in a flirtatious way.

in reality.

Hoshino carried Rio Futaba on one arm and ran forward at a rapid pace, like a dockworker unloading cargo.

.......

When they got back home, Rio Futaba and Yohoshi were soaked to the bone.

"Really..."

Rio Futaba straightened her rain-soaked short-sleeved shirt; her long, gray curly hair was so wet you could wring water out of it with your hands.

Ye Xing shook his head and said earnestly.

"I told you it was going to rain."

"You still have the nerve to say it?"

Rio Futaba was so angry she could barely speak.

"You did say it was going to rain, but after it actually started raining, why did you switch from running to walking? And why aren't you putting me down? You just wanted me to get soaked, didn't you?"

"It really is."

Ye Xing nodded in undisguised agreement.

"Because I want to take a bath with you."

Rio Futaba was taken aback by what she heard, then her face turned red and she said angrily.

"How could I possibly agree to that?!"

Ye Xing smiled meaningfully, then slowly opened his mouth and said a sentence.

"Sakurajima Mai and I often take baths together."

"What!?"

Rio Futaba's pupils contracted in shock, and she clenched her teeth, her eyes revealing a look of resentment.

Ever since Mai Sakurajima appeared, she has always regarded her as a rival.

It seems there's no need for competition now; let's all just join the fray.

but.

As one of the three founding members of the Superpower Society, how could she, a dignified "Quantum," possibly lose to a new member who doesn't even have a codename in terms of progress in conquering the S-rank dungeon Night Star?

Rio Futaba's competitive spirit overcame her shyness, and she spoke in a voice barely audible, with her head bowed.

"Then, you go in first, I'll come in later."

"walk slowly."

Ye Xing stepped into the bathroom and looked around.

Yes, Rio Futaba's bathroom is very large; it's the kind where the shower and bathtub are combined.

It has a large area.

It is enough to unleash one's full potential.

115. Face-to-face bathing, part-time worker Saki Kawasaki

Five minutes later.

Rio Futaba, with her long curly hair tied into a high ponytail and only wrapped in a bath towel, stood outside the bathroom door, her cute white toes curling up slightly in nervousness.

"Calm down, calm down, you're Rio Futaba..."

Rio Futaba silently recited these words in her mind, trying to calm her nervous emotions.

But it had no effect at all.

Rio Futaba took a deep breath, stretched out her slightly trembling hand, and pushed open the bathroom door.

The bathroom, where hot water had been prepared for some time, was filled with a hazy mist.

Rio Futaba lowered her head, staring intently at the pristine white tiles on the floor. Whether it was due to the sudden rise in temperature or some other reason, she felt her entire body burning up, and her fair skin even had a faint pinkish tinge.

"You've arrived? Please take a seat."

Hearing Yoru's soft laughter, Rio Futaba hesitated for a few seconds before slowly raising her head.

Take a closer look.

The other person was sitting back in the bathtub, looking very relaxed and enjoying themselves.

Rio Futaba finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully (unfortunately), I didn't see the other person completely naked.

Through the hazy layer of water vapor, Rio Futaba felt less nervous.

She held the towel by one corner with her right hand, and her left hand habitually made a pushing motion towards her glasses.

"Please sit down... You don't mean... you want me to come in and shower with you, do you?"
