Crossover anime/manga, can you be my immortal companion for life?

She thought that Xiangzi would keep in touch with Mu no matter what, but judging from the looks of it, it seems that Mu hasn't seen Xiangzi for a while.

However, recalling what happened last night, it was normal for Xiangzi not to let Mu see her.

However, Su Shi always felt that Mu knew something but refused to tell her.

Su Shi's tone then became somewhat flippant.

"Before I tell Xiaomu what I know, shouldn't Xiaomu also tell me what you know about Xiaoxiang?"

"Don't tell Soyo."

Mu turned her head away.

Soyo was furious when she heard this. She stood up and put her hand on Mu's shoulder, looking at Mu who was shorter than her.

"Xiao Mu, you know, right? What happened to Xiao Xiang? You, Xiao Xiang, and I are friends, aren't we?"

The Xiao Xiang I saw yesterday was acting very strangely. If you know anything, please tell me. Xiangzi didn't want to leave us. Mu, we're on the same side. We should tell each other what we know so we can possibly help Xiao Xiang.

"Xiang, I don't need Soyo's help."

Mu actually wanted to say it more gently, but she blurted out her true thoughts as soon as she opened her mouth.

"you!"

"Then Xiao Mu, you shouldn't bother trying to find out what happened between me and Xiao Xiang yesterday."

Nagasaki Motoyo stormed off, intending to take a sick leave and go home to sleep.

"Soyo..."

Mutsu raised her hand slightly, then lowered it weakly. She had been suffering from insomnia for a long time since that day. If her parents hadn't forbidden her from staying outside of school since the Akabane case and hadn't hired a driver to pick her up and drop her off, and if going to the bustling Ikebukuro district after reporting her last time was already the limit, she would have gone to find Shoko long ago.

Watching the heartless figure leave, Mu's expression twisted slightly.

……

Leaving aside the unpleasant parting at Tsuki no Mori.

On Akabane West's side, Kerry, who had just finished showering and changed into casual clothes, smelled a faint fragrance as soon as he opened the door.

"Ok?"

Kerry was puzzled because he had just seen the female ghost in the house spying on him from behind the mirror while he was taking a shower, and the female ghost in the house didn't smell like this.

He was initially delighted.

Could it be that some reckless food has wandered into their house again?

Is it really possible to have home delivery?

Kerry immediately raised his sword.

That's right. As mentioned before, Kerry has never left the Ghost Hunter Willow Cherry since he got it, including when he takes a bath.

However, just as Kerry, carrying his sword, was pacing around the room, Kirito's computer started beeping.

"Oh, it's Uncle Kerry! That dad is playing a game right now!"

Kerry turned his head and saw that it was Kirito's computer, and the webcam next to the computer was even turning its head to look at him.

"Call me Brother Kerry! Otherwise, I'll download a whole bunch of hardcore adult videos to my computer."

Kerry looked unhappy.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah?"

Yui's shy voice came from the computer.

This Yui-chan isn't as innocent as she seems. After all, Sao has adult functions, and as an AI who wants to see everything, Yui-chan must have seen it. It's just that she, as a cybernetic being, probably can't understand it.

Kerry looked around and realized the smell was coming from upstairs. He then took his sword and went upstairs.

With a gentle push, Kirito's room, located next to the stairs, was opened.

Then Kerry frowned.

Because the fragrance actually came from Kirito.

Moreover, the scent seemed familiar, and Kerry thought for a moment and remembered.

The source of this sense of familiarity was the same impulse that the group had vaguely sensed when they visited Yuki's ward before.

"This is……"

Kerry frowned.

"Could there really be some kind of cyber ghost? Or maybe she's been haunted by some crazy woman like Monica or Mita?"

Wait a minute, isn't Kirito's daughter more like a cyberpunk ghost?

No... it's not just this side...

Kerry quickly walked out of Kirito's room and opened another room covered with anime posters.

And then, with a really unruly sleeping posture, they lay on the small bed making "snoring! snoring!" sounds.

Moreover, he also emitted a fragrance, which was exactly the same as the one on Kirito.

Kirito and Kazuma had slept in the back of the car before, and Kerry had never smelled this odor, so we can rule out the possibility that it was something that had been there all along but Kerry hadn't noticed.

Kerry then realized the problem: whether it was Yuuki, Kazuma, or Kirito, they were all asleep when they experienced this.

The so-called fully immersive game also involves keeping the external body in a sleep state while the mind enters the game.

Without rashly waking the two, Kree immediately activated the Undead Emergency Call.

[Kerry: Xiangzi, come here for a second, something's happened]

[Toyokawa Shoko: What is it? I'll be right there.]

[Kirigaya Kazuto: What happened? Yui just came to complain that you came into my room and that she's a cyber ghost.]

【Kerry: ?】

Kerry was taken aback. How could Kirito, who was in the ditch, still be talking to them in the game?

At this moment in AOL Aincrad, in a small wooden house bought by Asuna, Kirito, whose race is Shadow Elf, is looking at a crystal floating in his hand.

Having finally come to the game, he discovered that the item from Sao was still in his bag.

"Kirito-kun, by the time you hear these words, I'll probably already be dead..."

A somewhat distorted, synthesized electronic sound came from inside.

This was the third time he had heard these words, but the memory of that Christmas still lingered like a stab wound to his heart.

Fortunately, Kerry's words interrupted his solitary guilt. He had just seen Yui's announcement about Kerry coming to his room and was wondering what was going on, so he prepared to log out of the game.

[Kerry: Kirito, don't quit the game yet]

176

Chapter 176 Lincoln, you big jerk!

Upon seeing Kerry's message, Kirito stopped scrolling through the menu.

Somewhat puzzled, I put the crystal away, then composed myself and typed my reply.

Kirito: What's wrong?

[Kerry: I noticed that after you entered the game, you started to smell like Yuki.]

Brother, you smell so good!

Kirito was initially a little uncomfortable with the words "fragrance" and so on, but then a chill ran down his spine.

Yukina has already confirmed that something abnormal has happened to her.

I encountered the same situation after entering the game.

Moreover, Akabane and Edogawa are located in opposite directions, one in northwest Tokyo and the other in southeast Tokyo. How can such a strange phenomenon be ignored by distance?

Will I develop some kind of mental abnormality like Yuki?

[Kerry: Don't be afraid! Go find that girl named Yuuki. If anything happens to you, I'll chop you up and refresh your status.]

Great! It chopped me off with one blow! We're saved!

Kirito's lips twitched.

At that moment, Xiangzi, who had just finished taking a shower, came in from downstairs.

She had just finished writing something at home; it was a memoir about herself and Kerry.

Whenever something happened, she would write down detailed information there.

However, it inevitably contains a lot of rhetoric, such as the moon, a mask, and darkness.

The pseudonyms used by the characters inside were all made up by Toyokawa Shoko herself.

Despite her fearlessness in forgetting, Xiangzi always wanted to leave a way for the world to remember her, in case something unexpected happened.

However, if Soyo saw this content, her filter would probably shatter. In her eyes, Xiangzi was a gentle and kind girl like moonlight. After reading it, she would realize that Xiangzi, who could pile up so many settings and write them into her dark fantasy, was actually a chuunibyou like Rikka Takanashi.

Xiangzi decided to name the book "Hell's Way". If one day they no longer had to hide their identities from the world, she would definitely self-publish it and give it to the world to enjoy for free.

She already knew roughly what had happened from what the two were saying in the chat room.

She seemed to sense someone watching her when she came in.

However, she didn't know that it was her resentful, bloodshot father's gaze.

But now is not the time to concern herself with those things. She took a few steps forward and sniffed lightly.

Hmm... indeed, it has that Yuki vibe, and... a faint scent of gardenia and gooseberry.

"What do we do now? Should we wake them up?"

"No, let's observe the situation first. If necessary, we can also buy a gaming helmet to see what's going on."

Kerry frowned.

"Go to the computer and have Yui play Kirito's game perspective for you to see if there's anything wrong. I'll take another look here."

"it is good."
