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

"How poor must you have been before? You're getting this excited over such a small amount of money. From now on, follow me, and I'll make sure you never have to worry about food or drink."

"really?"

Kuriyama Mirai looked at him expectantly; having no worries about food and drink was already her dream life.

However, she thought about it again and felt it was inappropriate, so she quickly added, "No, no, you've already taken such good care of me, I can't cause you any more trouble."

Dongfang Chen put his hands on her shoulders: "Kuriyama-san, please understand first, we are now business partners."

"Partners who fight together against Youmu and make money together. Isn't it normal for partners to look out for each other?"

"When did I become partners with my senior? How come I didn't know?"

Kuriyama Mirai's cute left eye.

Dongfang Chen: "Just now."

Kuriyama Mirai shook her head: "No, I'm not happy about it since it wasn't with my permission!"

"Why not? Does Kuriyama-san dislike me?"

Faced with Dongfang Chen's direct shot, Kuriyama Mirai lowered her head in disappointment.

"Because I am a cursed person with cursed blood, if you stay with me, you will also suffer misfortune!"

"Ha~"

Dongfang Chen sneered dismissively: "What cursed blood? That's just nonsense from those otherworldly warriors."

"Your bloodline has given you great power, and perhaps this power has indeed brought you misfortune."

"However, power itself is never wrong; it is only the method of its use that is right or wrong."

"Power is primarily for self-protection; only when you have the capacity to spare should you consider helping others."

Kuriyama Mirai: "...But I used my power to kill someone, to kill my best friend."

Dongfang Chen: "But she was possessed by the Void Shadow at that time, wasn't she? If you don't attack her, she will attack you. The worst outcome is that not only will you die, but you will also cause more people to die."

Kuriyama Mirai looked up at him: "Senior, you investigated me, didn't you?"

Dongfang Chen nodded.

Of course, this is just his memory; no investigation has actually been conducted.

Mirai Kuriyama, who lost both her parents at a young age, was adopted by the Iwa family, a family of spirit world warriors, and met Iwa Yui, the daughter of the Iwa family.

The two became good friends, and Ibo Yui even became one of the few bright spots in Kuriyama Mirai's gloomy world.

Several years have passed, and everything was initially moving in a positive direction.

However, before they entered high school, last winter, they unfortunately encountered the Void Shadow.

Ibo Yui was possessed by the Void Shadow. In order to protect herself, Kuriyama Mirai fought back against the Void Shadow, but (Mama Zhao) also caused Ibo Yui to lose her life.

Therefore, Mirai Kuriyama harbored a deep hatred for the Void Shadow and vowed to kill it with her own hands to avenge her friend.

"I'm not happy!"

She was somewhat unhappy about Dongfang Chen's investigation into her.

It is impolite to pry into someone's past and privacy.

Dongfang Chen: "No matter what, you haven't done anything wrong."

Mirai Kuriyama: "Maybe I'm not wrong, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm a murderer."

“You are not a murderer,” Dongfang Chen interrupted her.

"Were you acting in self-defense, protecting your own life? Or are you absolutely certain that it was right for you to be killed by Ibo, who was possessed by the Void Shadow?"

Mirai Kuriyama lowered her head, tears welling in her eyes: "But, my best friend... I still couldn't save her..."

Dongfang Chen placed his hand on her head and gently rubbed it.

"The past cannot be changed. What you can do now, what you want to do, is to kill the Void Shadow and avenge your friend, right?"

Kuriyama Mirai nodded: "Yes, this is one of the few things I can do, and it's something I have to do."

"So let's cooperate and kill the Void Shadow together."

Although Dongfang Chen spoke sincerely, she still rejected him.

"No, I already told you I would bring misfortune to you, senior. If something happens to you because of me... Ouch, why did you hit me, senior?"

Before she could finish speaking, Dongfang Chen delivered a chop to her wrist.

"Idiot, who do you think you're talking to? Even if the world ends, I'll be fine. How could I possibly suffer misfortune because of you?"

"There's no room for discussion on this!"

"Either I take you with me to fight the Void Shadow, or I lock you up and release you after I kill the Void Shadow."

"Senior, you're being unreasonable!"

Faced with the domineering Dongfang Chen, Kuriyama Mirai's face showed dissatisfaction.

She clearly sensed Dongfang Chen's good intentions, but she didn't know how to respond.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Senior, are you out of your mind? I wasn't complimenting you!"

447 “I thought you were praising me.”

"Absolutely not."

The two walked side by side, casting long shadows in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Ultimately, under Dongfang Chen's strong pressure, Kuriyama Mirai no longer refused to let Dongfang Chen join her in the fight against the Void Shadow.

Return home in the evening.

Dongfang Chen explained the situation to Thor and asked her to come along and take a look.

Just in case of any unexpected situation.

"No problem, fighting alongside Chen? I'm really looking forward to it!"

Thor happily agreed.

Kanna looked at him expectantly, "Chen, I want to go too. I haven't fought in a long time, and I want to get some exercise."

"Come on if you want! But if nothing unexpected happens, you don't need to do anything."

he emphasized.

After all, both Thor and Kanna possess powers that are beyond the norm in this world.

Even simple physical activity, if left unchecked, could easily destroy a city or cause a piece of territory to disappear.

"why is it like this?"

Thor let out a wail.

Hina Tsuru Ai: "Master, no matter what happens, please come back safely!"

Yasha God Ten'i: "Although I don't know what we're going to do, there's nothing to worry about if Tohru and Kanna go too."

Dongfang Chen ruffled the heads of Hina Tsuru Ai and Yasha Shin Ten'i: "Your master is also very strong."

Wednesday, September 6th.

Fengzhiqi Academy also ushered in the mid-term exams.

In each examination room, some students were writing furiously, some were scratching their heads in frustration, and some were even resorting to some mysterious methods to answer the questions...

I finished three exams today, and I have three more to take tomorrow.

After the afternoon exams, some students participated in club activities, while others went home.

"It's still early. The other otherworldly warriors are still leading the Void Shadow out of the city. Would you like to come to our house for dinner first?"

Dongfang Chen extended an invitation to Lishan Mirai.

Kuriyama Mirai looked at him in surprise: "Go, go, go to senpai's house?"

"Yes, are you coming?" He nodded and smiled.

Looking at Dongfang Chen's smiling face, a variety of possibilities flashed through her mind in that instant.

However, she ultimately turned her head slightly and whispered, "No, thank you..."

Dongfang Chen asked again, "Are you really not coming? My maid can cook a lot of delicious food. Kuriyama-kun has to pay for meals when he goes out, right?"

"Another thing is, Kuriyama-kun, you'll be taking a lot of time to get to the outskirts of town by tram, right? I have a quick and free way to get there!"

Upon hearing the word "money," Kuriyama Mirai instantly perked up.

Although she received 21,000 yen yesterday, that was her food ration for the next few days.

Moreover, she also needs to figure out how to start saving for next month's rent... (bacc)...

After much deliberation, Kuriyama Mirai finally made up her mind: "Well, I'm sorry to bother you."

"You're welcome." He nodded with a smile.
