Crossover anime, the harem life of a healing sorcerer

The truth is gradually coming to light.

The girl with brown hair had mixed feelings. She had no idea how those two people had gotten together.

"If he's a transfer student from China, that makes sense. Only his brainwaves weren't recorded in the library. That guy might have abused his power and secretly replaced the waveforms we have with his own. Contact the security guards immediately!"

"No, Misaka-senpai. While Kiyama-sensei is suspicious and her identity meets the requirements for creating [Fantasy Master], we haven't found any evidence that she committed the crime with Nangong-senpai."

"You mean Nangong Jun? He wouldn't do such a thing."

The Soul Chaser of the Underworld had such faith in his students.

"Oh, right, Saten-san!"

Suddenly remembering something, Shiori Haruhi quickly took out her phone.

Mikoto quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Saten told me yesterday that she seems to be in love. And the person she has a crush on is... Senior Nangong!"

Chu Chun's expression seemed so anxious that she was about to cry.

My best friend's first love—I should be wishing her well. But why did Ruizi fall for such a mysterious and terrifying man?

"Even Saten likes it..."

Misaka Mikoto suddenly stopped talking.

To their delight, the phone call still went through.

"Everyone, what's going on all of a sudden?"

When Saten Ruiko returned home, she was already wearing an apron and happily humming a song while cooking. She held a soup spoon in one hand and her phone clipped to her ear with the other, supported by her shoulder.

In early spring, it was clear that her friend was humming the intro to "Fantasy Master".

"Saten-kun, you... used it, right?"

"...We've been discovered."

Saten was taken aback, then smiled.

"I invited Senior Nangong to my house for dinner. Even if I suddenly faint, it's okay, he'll be there."

"Saten-kun, get out of here right now!"

Hearing Chu Chun's anxious shouts, the girl with long, straight black hair knew that Zero's true identity had been exposed. The reason was simply that Senior Nangong was unwilling to control her friends.

"You still don't understand the determination a girl has in love," Saten said with a light smile. "Although there are still many things I want to say to Haru, you probably can't listen to them right now. He wouldn't hurt me."

Perhaps, a girl in love has zero IQ.

Even if it was just a superstition about a woman's intuition, Saten Ruiko chose to believe the boy she liked. She followed her heart and no longer hesitated.

Mikoto said firmly, "We won't just watch Saten faint. Mr. Kiyama specially left us something..."

"Thank you for your concern, it's alright now," Saten said softly. "I also wavered and doubted you, senpai. But I've come to understand one thing: Zero is the 0 in Level 0. After everything is over, I will apologize to everyone... for hiding it from everyone and for using the [Amazing Hand] without permission."

At this moment, the girl with long, straight black hair was still thinking that she had forgotten to tell Senior Nangong her address.

"Ding-dong-"

Doorbell rang.

"Anyway, don't worry. I'll hang up now!"

After saying that, Saten Ruiko ran to open the door, and sure enough, it was the familiar black-haired youth.

The girl couldn't hide her joy and said, "Huh? How did you find it, senior...?"

"It's a secret," Nangong chuckled. "Sorry to bother you, Leizi."

"……Um."

The scene of their conversation in the entryway was like that of a married couple in a Japanese drama. Saten Ruiko's eyes flickered slightly, then she smiled and invited Nangong into the house.

"Welcome, senior. We don't have men's slippers, so you'll have to make do with these for early spring."

My best friends are the only people who often come to visit me at home.

"It doesn't matter."

Nangong Xuan also knew that it was inappropriate to use girls' things without permission.

"Is there any paper?"

"Huh? Yes, there is..."

Saten Ruiko thought Minami wanted to use the restroom, and her first reaction was embarrassment. For Japanese girls, letting a boy they like into the restroom is very embarrassing; their underwear, which isn't even dry yet, could be seen.

"Thank you."

To the girl's astonishment, Nangong Xuan activated his [Paper-Soaked Telekinesis], conjuring a pair of paper slippers for himself. In fact, he could maintain levitation through telekinesis if he wanted, just like the legendary yoga masters—it was simply too terrifying.

Saten said enviously, "What a convenient ability."

"Yeah, from now on, we won't need to bring tissues when we go out with girls anymore," Nangong said, trying to lighten the mood.

Could it be referring to sanitary napkins?

Because of the topic of conversation last night, Saten Ruiko's mind went astray. Even tampons were replaced with highly compressed paper rolls… While girls attending Academy City do have period poverty issues, they wouldn't be so frugal as to resort to this.

With a reliable boyfriend like my senior, I don't have to worry about forgetting the date and accidentally revealing it during our date.

"That depends on whether your masculinity is flexible enough," Saten said sweetly. "Want to... give it a try?"

Straight ball.

Nangong said calmly, "I'd like to see if I can win over my junior's stomach with her feminine charm."

A battle of wits between experts, a tacit understanding and strategic maneuvering in the realm of romance.

“Well then, you’re in luck, senior.” Saten smiled. “My cooking is praised by everyone.”

It has clearly captured my girlish heart.

Chapter 040 First Love, Sleeping Beauty

Nangong Xuan loves beef, and he likes it with lots of scallions. What surprised the girl the most was the lethal amount of chili peppers.

The legendary man who can eat the spiciest food in the city has appeared!

She is said to be the strongest fire-generating ability user, even able to breathe fire from her mouth. In a sense, that's true.

Saten asked cautiously, "S-senpai, this hot sauce is the spiciest one in the supermarket. Is that okay?"

"Don't worry, I have a [reply], you won't die. Okay, I'll get started."

In Japan, it's customary to clasp your hands together, hold your chopsticks, and offer a sincere thank you (in Japanese) to the heavens before a meal. Even this time-traveler from China has adopted this custom, thanks to Teacher Xiaomeng's "tutoring."

A small, square table was set with spicy beef sukiyaki. Although it wasn't some expensive Wagyu beef, it was clear the girl had spent a lot of money to prepare it carefully. It was served with various delicate side dishes and a plate of Mapo Tofu; for some reason, there was no main dish.

Nangong Xuan had just scooped a spoonful of tofu into his mouth when he showed a surprised expression.

"What's wrong? Isn't it delicious?"

Saten Ruiko, who is usually very confident in her cooking skills, was actually a little nervous, a situation she had never encountered even in her school cooking class assessment.

"No, it's delicious!"

Nangong savored the food carefully, concluding that only Xiaomeng's cooking could rival Leizi's.

Before he knew it, he was surrounded by so many girls who could cook, and they were all very kind to him. This kind of life was like a "sci-fi game" surrounded by anime girls.

You must have saved the world in your past life.

If this were in a certain anime about a legendary medicine king, the character would definitely have their clothes ripped off, and then... their bestial nature would be unleashed?

Nangong added, "It tastes just like it's been drugged."

"That's such a weird way to praise someone!"

Saten chuckled, relieved.

How did you know I like Mapo Tofu?

Nangong couldn't help but suspect that Lei Ye also possessed the ability to read minds in the second dimension.

“That’s a secret too.” It was Saten’s turn to reveal a sly smile.

Actually, considering that Senior Nangong is a transfer student from China and loves spicy food, I made some of the most famous Chinese dishes in Japan.

Taking the initiative and preparing a winning dish to woo a senior, I was right on the winning ticket!

Although Nangong Xuan couldn't taste the fiery passion, he clearly felt the girl's burning love. The gentle and attentive Lei Zi was undoubtedly the best choice for a girlfriend.

Nangong joked, "There must be a lot of people pursuing Leizi at school."

"Huh? No, not at all," Saten said shyly. "Although my precocious female friends might brag about dating upperclassmen, for us, studying and developing our abilities are more important."

Japan doesn't have the concept of early dating, but Chinese otaku still feel that newly enrolled police officers are too young. Taking that "criminal" step also requires courage.

"You cook so well, I'm even thinking of pursuing you." Nangong's lips curled up.

Is it a thought, or just a thought?
