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

Mu turned her head away.

That's not what I'm asking! What do you mean by wanting to be with me?

Don't you know how dangerous this is?

There's no time to care about Nagasaki Motoyo or what crazy things Wakaba Mutsumi is doing.

Mu opened and closed her mouth, her eyes sinking into the shadows. What she really wanted to say wasn't that sentence, but rather her inner desire.

He longed to be like Xiangzi, able to escape the irritating daily routine and live freely.

But when she wanted to express herself, she revealed her true thoughts.

But just like so many times in her life, every time she tries to say what she really wants instead of hiding herself and saying what others want to hear, she seems to mess things up.

It seems like it's been smashed again this time.

Looking at Xiangzi's anxious face and feeling the force that was shaking him to the point of falling apart, Mu's expression showed some pain.

Xiangzi then realized that he might have been a little too rough. After releasing Mu and making sure she was alright, Xiangzi took two steps back and tried his best to suppress his emotions.

"Don't get your hopes up! This is not something you can get involved in."

I told you last time, don't associate with me again. Even if you recognize me in a situation like this, don't talk to me.

Cold words came from Xiangzi's mouth.

Mu was trying to calm herself down and to feel and understand the meaning behind Xiangzi's words.

That was probably out of concern.

But why express concern in this way?

"If Xiang can do it, why can't I?"

Another sentence popped out of Mu's mouth.

Xiangzi was also a bit emotional; she had never thought that Mu was so difficult to communicate with.

Where did Mu, who used to be talkative, cheerful, and easy to talk to, go?

Why are they all like this? Even though I don't want them to come over, they always seem to come over for no reason.

If I want to protect them, even if they don't understand, is it really that hard to do what they say on the surface?

It's too late; the past can never be returned to.

She has no regrets whatsoever, and she is certain that she is happier now than she was before.

But if it's too late, it's too late. Can't they understand their own good intentions?

Do I have to hurt them again and again until they lose all hope?

Xiangzi now wanted to do something to Mu with a smile, to melt away the stubbornness in front of her that made her unhappy, just like she did to Nagasaki Motoyo that night.

However, she controlled herself and resisted the urge to let the Ob, the one who took the pain for her, appear.

My life is dangerous, and I don't want you to get involved, because that would put you in danger too.

You don't know how many people have died in front of me like that. I don't want you to become one of them, I don't want you to become a living corpse in Kasai Park, I don't want you to become one of those people on the ship who were accidentally hit by poisoned arrows and never woke up again, I don't want you to become one of those people in Hinamizawa who were riddled with bullets.

I'm also very sorry, and I wish I could stay by your side again, preferably with the new friends Kerry and the others, so we could all enjoy our wonderful youth together.

But when the words reached her lips, she found herself unable to speak them, just like He Mu, unable to utter these words of concern, unable to make a sound.

At that moment, Xiangzi realized that perhaps he was quite similar to He Mu, except that he couldn't say what He Mu couldn't say.

"Mu! There's a limit to how much you can act cute!"

Stop saying those capricious things! This world isn't where you can do whatever you want! Go back and take good care of Aunt Mori Minami! Then continue…”

Mu kept his head down while he was talking, but when Xiangzi came closer, he noticed the upturned corners of Mu's mouth.

Xiangzi paused for a moment, then reached out and put his hand on Mu's shoulder again.

"Are you even listening to me?!"

"Yes, I heard you! Xiang, you care about me a lot!"

Ok?

What the hell?

Xiangzi was stunned, or rather, frightened.

"Hehe! Xiangzi, you're very anxious, very anxious."

Unfortunately, Mutsu won't listen to you!

Mu raised his face, and a smiling face appeared fully in front of Xiangzi.

Xiangzi felt his heart skip a beat; even the human corpses the Hilichurls were handling that morning weren't this terrifying.

"Since you care about everyone so much, Xiangzi, I will tell everyone. I will tell Soyo what I saw that day, what happened this time, and how much Xiangzi cares about her. It's just that Xiangzi is too delicate and can't talk to people properly, so she said those hurtful things. Then everyone will understand and won't appear in front of Xiangzi again!"

Mu smiled and spoke to Xiangzi.

"It's because Xiangzi is happy all by himself that he's unwilling to even meet people amicably!"

What...what did I do? Xiangzi looked completely bewildered.

Kerry, who was next to him, couldn't resist picking up the glass of his drink and taking a big gulp.

good good!

Don't do anything unnecessary!

Although Xiangzi didn't know what he was doing, he still triggered a defensive counterattack.

"I'll do it! What can Xiangzi do about it? Or would such a gentle Xiangzi kill me?"

Mu made an exaggerated, happy gesture that only TV actors would make to express their emotions, and then stood upright in front of Xiangzi.

"you!"

Xiangzi was speechless.

Stop! That's not what I meant by "always talking and laughing"!

What's going on here?

"Okay, that's settled then!"

Mu turned around to open the door and leave.

"It seems necessary to talk to the child who doesn't listen properly."

"Sigh! Xiangzi, is there anything else..."

Mu, who was smiling, felt her wrist being grabbed. Turning her head, she saw Xiangzi with his mouth wide open in a wild grin.

“I took her to the back to talk.”

Xiangzi turned to the people sitting in their seats and said something.

Then, amidst Mu's somewhat flustered expression, he pulled her into a separate restroom at the back.

Kerry put down his drink with regret. "Why aren't we airing this crucial segment anymore?"

A few minutes later, Mu rushed out from behind and escaped.

Xiangzi walked out with a smug look on his face, as if to say, "You think you can mess with me?"

Then, seeing the three people looking at her curiously, Xiangzi turned around and rushed back to the bathroom, locking the door behind her.

Teammates also doing marathons?

Chapter 234 You Come Back Here!

While Xiangzi was hiding behind the door, Kirito's guest arrived.

Compared to the intensity of Xiangzi's situation, Kirito's situation was much more normal.

Asuna's parents only came over to ask a couple of questions, and after learning that Kirito's identity was not convenient to be exposed to avoid being implicated, they wholeheartedly agreed.

They didn't intend to use Kirito's connections to advance their family's career, and after what happened last time, they had no objections to this son-in-law.

At most, I still hope my daughter can restrain herself a bit, since what Kirito did was very dangerous.

They were all worried that their daughter would be implicated by what Kirito said, or that their daughter would be heartbroken if Kirito never came back.

But at most, I'll go back and try to persuade them; I won't say anything in the current situation.

Because her parents were present, Asuna behaved quite ladylike, simply chatting and laughing as the conversation passed.

After Kirito's guests left.

Xiangzi was just like Soyo, who had just finished editing her teammates' videos and was then dragged onto the stage crying the next day when she came to the rehearsal room.

He opened the door, and without saying a word, casually sat down in his seat.

"Hmm, the water's gone. Let someone add some more."

Xiangzi said something, which was met with silence from the audience.

"Cough cough!"

She coughed repeatedly and then went to call someone herself.

The others who arrived later didn't care much, but the good news was that the rescue ship finally arrived.

Although it's not a luxury cruise ship anymore, there's nothing to complain about; their crew will refuel and sail back to Japan.

Once the bridge was built, the people on the boat were freed from their predicament and rushed towards the ship. It's estimated that they won't be holding any more gatherings like this for a long time to come. I wonder how Japan will report this.

Kree and his companions didn't move. Although they couldn't smell anything anymore, in order to prevent the possibility that there were still Hilichurls on the ship who hadn't heard the orders and hadn't come down, they planned to return to Japan with the ship and many other people who were still asleep and inconvenient to transport.

Time flew by during the voyage, and this time it really felt like a vacation. Xiangzi held up a parasol on the deck, listening to music and resting with his eyes closed.

Kerry would watch the sea alone, and sometimes when he saw a pod of dolphins, he would smile.

In just two and a half days, after a nap and some fun, the group returned to Japan. It seemed that the ship was also to be inspected there. As soon as Kerry and the others disembarked, someone came and drove them back to Tokyo.
