Crossover Anime: Starting from Soul Society and Slicing Through All Worlds

Chapter 23 Reencounter with Yosuke Shima, the Son of the World

"Your name is Nan Yecheng? That's a strange name, but that's not important. Can you answer my question first?"

The elven girl was genuinely curious about the "magic" Night City had used before, because although she had seen quite a bit of the world, she had never seen any of the magic Night City had used before.

And even though her own magic shield was being corroded by the poisonous mist of the Demon Poison Dragon, Night City's magic could perfectly defend against it... No, it wasn't until now that the elven girl realized that even without using magic defense, Night City, who was in the poisonous mist, seemed to be completely unaffected!

"The magic I use... should be considered a rather unique type of magic; you could call it 'Demon Path'."

As of now, I should be the only person in this world who has mastered this kind of system of magic. You can think of it as some kind of secret technique.

As for why I am unaffected by the poisonous mist of the Demon Poison Dragon, it's because I have the ability of 'magic immunity'.

"Even if the Demon Dragon's poisonous mist is powerful, it's still formed from magic, so it's normal that it can't affect me."

When the elven girl first heard that Night City possessed a skill that was practically a bug, called "magic immunity," she didn't believe it, since most people in this world used magic.

If what Ye Cheng said is true, then with her 'magic immunity' ability, wouldn't Ye Cheng be practically invincible in this world?

"Stop lying. You clearly used your secret magic to defend against the poisonous breath of the Demon Poison Dragon."

Clearly, the scene the elven girl described was the one where Night City faced the Demon Poison Dragon's poisonous mist breath at close range and used the Ghost Path "Severing the Void" to defend against it.

"Oh, you mean that? That's because while my body is completely immune to the effects of magic, my clothes aren't."

That demonic dragon's breath was highly corrosive; if I had been hit by it at close range, I'd probably be in a similar state to you.

Hearing Ye Cheng bring this up again, the elven girl's face turned red to her ears once more.

However, just as she was about to say something more, a so-called third party suddenly appeared!

Logically speaking, this place was originally a desolate wilderness, and with the Demon Poison Dragon dwelling here, the people of the surrounding villages had long since designated it as a forbidden zone. There shouldn't be any other people coming here at this time.

However, just as Ye Cheng and the elven girl were looking on with wary expressions as they watched the figure gradually become clearer in the poisonous fog, their expressions of vigilance finally began to change.

Night City: "(￣￣) Yosuke Shima?"

Elf girl: "(_; Half-orc?)"

That's right, the person who suddenly appeared here after passing through the poisonous fog was none other than Yosuke Shima, another transmigrator from another world who had been separated from Night City for more than a week.

The other person was now dressed in a tattered white casual outfit, with a red rag strip wrapped around their neck like a scarf.

As for why Yosuke Shima sounded so questioning when they met after only a little over a week apart, it was because, in Yosuke's eyes, the changes in Shima Yosuke in just over a week were simply too damn drastic!

In the original story, Yosuke Shima was described as an unremarkable character in this other world where handsome men and beautiful women were everywhere, with an appearance that was only average.

But now, he is not only skin and bones, but also has sunken cheekbones, making him look at least twenty years older than before!

If it weren't for Yosuke Shima's profound influence on him, he probably wouldn't have recognized the other party as the unremarkable-looking boy from another world. "Yoshiro! You're here too. Looks like you must have already defeated that BOSS."

And this is… well, I'm sorry, it seems I've disturbed you, so I'll take my leave now.”

Yosuke was quite happy to meet Yoshiro again after ten days, since they were both visitors from another world and Yoshiro was practically his fellow countryman.

Yosuke Shima originally wanted to catch up with Yoshiro and, by the way, boast about how he had survived all this time and made a successful start.

But when he saw the golden triangular pyramid crystal standing in the poisonous mist, and the ragged elf girl inside it, Yosuke Shima instantly showed a knowing expression, and then turned around to leave.

Although he didn't know much about this, he was still a healthy young man and naturally understood the current situation.

Furthermore, Yosuke Shima also thought this scene was quite normal, just like the ending sequence in a game.

After overcoming numerous hardships to defeat the evil dragon and rescue the princess, the player naturally intends to marry her and live happily ever after.

Sega also has games of this type, so Yosuke Shima didn't think it was anything strange.

"Wait a minute, I think you've misunderstood something! I have absolutely nothing to do with this guy!"

"Yo-suke, don't rush off. I was planning to come to the city to see how you are doing after this mission is completed."

Looking at you now, you seem to have changed quite a bit compared to ten days ago... Ah.

The first sentence was shouted by the elven girl, because she felt that if the misunderstanding was not cleared up, her innocence would be almost ruined.

As for the one who spoke in a nonchalant tone, it was naturally Ye Cheng. In his opinion, nothing had happened, so he didn't need to explain anything. Moreover, he thought that a pure gamer like Shima Yosuke probably wouldn't care about such things.

The elven girl quickly changed into a piece of clothing she found in her storage space and walked up to Yosuke Shima again, extending her hand and emphasizing once more: "Orc, let me tell you, I have absolutely no connection with this money-grubber."

While he did save me, the kind of thing you're imagining didn't happen between us.

Besides, this guy is both greedy and snobbish. Although he is indeed good-looking and very capable, I would never like someone like him.

Upon hearing the elf girl's explanation, Yosuke Shima did not show any understanding. Instead, his gaze towards the girl turned somewhat displeased, and he said, "Miss, I think what you're saying is a bit excessive."

Regardless, Ye Cheng did save your life, didn't he? Even if you really don't like him, you shouldn't call him greedy and snobbish.

In games, you get rewards for completing levels and money or equipment for completing tasks. Isn't that a normal thing?

Besides, I think the people in Night City are very nice. He saved me once before, and even shared half of his meager savings with me.

The elf girl was clearly a tsundere, but the era that Shima Yosuke had traveled to, although it was also a modern society, clearly did not have the prevalence of the "tsundere" attribute at that time, so Shima Yosuke naturally found the elf girl somewhat unreasonable.
