Crossover Anime: Starting by defeating the Dragon King, then unexpectedly meeting a child.

"Hey, it's just an idea, is it really necessary to go to such lengths?"

Dongfang Chen complained.

Kuriyama Mirai: "It's just an idea, and it's fine if no one knows about it, but you shouldn't reveal your idea in front of two girls."

Nase Mizuki: "Yes, and they were looking at us with lewd eyes."

Dongfang Chen sighed helplessly, "Yes, yes, I don't want to think about it anymore, okay?"

Mizuki Nase: "Pervert, stay away from me."

Mirai Kuriyama: "So you're that kind of person, senpai."

Mizuki Nase suddenly stopped and pointed to the shop next to her: "We're here, this is it."

The sign above says 'Coffee', but the awning above the door says 'Shindo Photo Studio'.

"As the official organization of the Otherworld Warriors, can't they be a little more impressive? They have to hide their true business."

Dongfang Chen complained.

"That's not necessary."

Mizuki Nase rolled her eyes at him, then went to knock on the door.

"Click~"

A moment later, the door opened, and a little girl, less than 1.5 meters tall and wearing a high school uniform, walked out.

"Good afternoon, Meiyue-jie! And these two are..."

Nase Mizuki nodded: "Yes, Ai too, good afternoon. They have some Youmu Stones they want appraised, and my brother asked me to bring them here. Is Ayaka-nee here?"

"Yes, yes."

"Nice to meet you. I am Dongfang Chen, a classmate of Nase."

Dongfang Chen gave a polite self-introduction.

"Hello, my name is Shindo Ai," the little girl replied politely.

Kuriyama Mirai, standing to the side, conjured a long sword with her blood again and asked nervously, "Why are you talking so intimately with Youmu?"

Dongfang Chen patted her shoulder: "Put the knife away. Although this Miss Shindo is a youmu, she is not aggressive towards us."

Mizuki Nase: "Ai is different from other youmu; she's on the same side as us."

Even with a knife pointed at her by Mirai Kuriyama, Ai Shindo only frowned slightly and explained, "Yes, there are many kinds of youmu."

“We obtained our license from the Otherworldly Association.”

Ai Shindo went to the store again and got a 'Youmu Appraisal Professional License' to show to Mirai Kuriyama.

Kuriyama Mirai leaned closer for a closer look: "So, this authentication is done by Youmu authenticating Youmu?"

"That's roughly the idea." Shindo Ai nodded.

Seeing this, Kuriyama Mirai breathed a sigh of relief, put away her knife, and apologized, saying, "My name is Kuriyama Mirai, and I apologize for what I just did."

Shindo Ai smiled and shook her head: "It's alright, everyone please come inside first!"

The group entered the house together, and there they also met another Youmu Shindou Ayaka.

This woman looks like a mature older sister, with a pair of green eyes and long, dark green hair draped over her shoulders.

Wearing Japanese-style loungewear with a yellow jacket over it, and holding a pipe in her hand, she exudes a lazy and relaxed vibe.

When she saw the group, she greeted them with a smile: "Welcome to my shop, I am the shop manager, Shindo Ayaka."

"The unfamiliar young man from another world, Dongfang, and this Kuriyama, right? Hiroomi has already told me why you've come."

"Yes, hello Sister Caihua, that's what I hear them call me." Dongfang Chen nodded.

"Well, that's fine."

Then she looked at Kuriyama 447 Mirai and said in a joking tone, "Even though I'm a Youmu, don't attack me!"

"No, I won't."

Kuriyama Mirai gave a somewhat awkward response.

Now that she had figured out why Youmu was here, she naturally wouldn't do anything impolite.

"Please sit down, everyone. Then take out your Dream Stones and I'll appraise them for you."

Shindo Ayaka greeted them.

Since they were sitting around on the tatami mat, Dongfang Chen took out twelve Dream Stones from his backpack.

"Oh my, there are quite a lot!"

Shindo Ayaka smiled and picked up a piece to look at it.

“If this thing is valuable, I wouldn’t mind making some extra money,” Dongfang Chen said.

Shindo Ayaka: "Well, whether it's valuable or not depends on the specific youmu it is. Some might only be worth a few hundred yen, while others could be worth tens or even hundreds of thousands."

Dongfang Chen: "Is there an appraised value for the Dream Stone of the Void Shadow? I'm quite interested in that."

Although he had already reached an agreement with Hiroomi Nase to sell the Youmu Stone to them after obtaining it, he still needed to find out the approximate price first.

Apart from Kuriyama Mirai, the others were all stunned for a moment.

Shindo Ayaka looked at him with interest: "Does Dongfang have designs on the Youmu Stone of the Void Shadow?"

After Chapter 156, follow me and I'll guarantee you'll never have to worry about food or drink.

"Yes, I do have some ideas, so I'll find out the price first, just in case I get ripped off."

Dongfang Chen smiled and nodded.

"Oh my, how confident you are! Even though the otherworld warriors all avoid it like the plague."

Shindo Ayaka narrowed her eyes and scrutinized Dongfang Chen. On the surface, he was just a boy. What gave him such confidence?

Dongfang Chen: "I simply believe in my own strength."

Shindo Ayaka nodded: "I see. It seems that Dongfang-kun is hiding some extraordinary power!"

"Speaking of which, Dongfang wants to know the appraised value of the Dream Stone of the Void Shadow. To be honest, I can't give an estimate."

"From a practical standpoint, its Youmu Stone is definitely one of the top-tier materials available."

"From a commemorative perspective, the Void Shadow, such a nightmare, is a legendary existence for all otherworld warriors."

Dongfang Chen: "Okay, thank you for your explanation."

Shindo Ayaka: "It's alright, then I'll begin identifying these youmu."

Dongfang Chen: "Thank you for your trouble."

Then Shindo Ayaka took some tools out of the cabinet next to her.

I opened a viscous container filled with an unidentified red substance, dipped my index finger in it, and drew a circle on the table.

Then pick up a stack of white rectangular pieces of paper and scatter them above the circle.

"Swipe!"

One end of the paper is neatly inserted into the line of the circle, giving it a very ceremonial feel.

Then she picked up a Dream Stone and placed it in the center of the circle. A surge of demonic power rippled out from the circle, and the Dream Stone was lifted up by a force.

Shindo Ayaka calmly took out one eye corner and began to examine it.

Dongfang Chen asked in a low voice, "What are the standards for determining the value of a Demon Dream Stone?"

Ai Shindo: "Normally, the more powerful the Youmu, the higher the value of the Youmu Stone dropped; there are also some special Youmu that drop Youmu Stones that can sell for a very high price..."

"I see, thank you for your explanation." Dongfang Chen nodded.

As each Dream Stone was tested, its value was recorded.

The twelve Youmu Stones totaled 42 yen.

They had already left the shop by then.

As Dongfang Chen and Lishan Mirai walked home, he took out 21 yen and handed it to Lishan Mirai.

"The price is acceptable, after all, these youmu aren't exactly powerful beings."

Looking at the banknotes in his hand, Dongfang Chen was slightly disappointed.

The ubiquitous demonic dream is worthless.

"Great, so much money! We won't have to worry about going hungry for many days to come!"

Kuriyama Mirai hasn't received this much cash in a long time.

As a high school student, she had no source of income other than occasionally working part-time to barely make ends meet.

As a Spirit World Warrior, she often goes to fight Youmu, and every battle requires her to use her blood.

If too much blood is used, nutrients must be replenished, leading to a deficit.

Not having enough money to eat properly has become the norm for her.

Dongfang Chen chuckled and shook his head, a gentle look flashing in his eyes as he looked at her.
