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

Chapter 46 Trading a Comic for the Ice God Sword!

As a descendant of the Ice Clan, Mebel is portrayed as a cold and aloof goddess, with the legendary "three-no" attributes (no emotions, no feelings, no attitude).

Of course not. In fact, both the ice in the room and her current sitting posture holding the "Frozen God Sword" were carefully designed by Mebel before Ye Cheng and the others entered the room.

With such a commotion outside, and with Ye Cheng and the others not lowering their voices, even Mebel, who was inside the house, naturally knew that the so-called "hero" had come to their village and was preparing to borrow the Frozen God Sword from her.

As a descendant of the Ice Clan, and now that the "Hero" has come knocking on my door, if I continue to maintain my old lazy and gluttonous lifestyle, wouldn't I be looked down upon by the "Hero"?

Therefore, in order to maintain the prestige of the "Ice Clan," the scene that Night City and the others are currently witnessing is actually a setup by Mebel.

Don't ask why she covered her room with ice. The answer is that her previous room was too messy, and Mebel simply didn't have time to tidy it up, so she had to cover it all with ice.

Just like now, it conceals the exposure of one's otaku nature while simultaneously displaying a cool and sophisticated attitude, which isn't a bad thing.

However, she might have to sneak out to stay outside for the next few days, since even though she is from the Ice Clan, she doesn't like sleeping in such a snowy environment.

"You are Mebel Rebel, the last descendant of the Ice Clan who guards the 'Frozen God Sword'?"

We are brave warriors who heard of your village's plight and intend to slay the Demon Flame Dragon. We wish to borrow your divine weapon, the "Frozen God Sword," to defeat the Demon Flame Dragon. We wonder if you would be so kind as to part with it and lend it to us?

It has to be said that the scene that Mebel had carefully arranged did have some effect. When Ye Cheng and the others entered the room, they saw Mebel sitting with her chin resting on her knees and felt that she was indeed very high-class.

Although in Night City's perception, Mebel's magical power doesn't seem particularly remarkable, and may even be much weaker than Cui's, it's not impossible that she might be a hidden powerhouse.

"Did you bring the frilly flowers from Mount Marjid?"

In order to maintain her persona, Mebel slowly raised her head and looked at Ye Cheng and the other two with extremely cold and lifeless eyes.

Actually, Mebel had no interest in the so-called "Puffy Flower" and didn't know what it was for, but this was the prerequisite for the Ice Clan to hand over the "Frozen God Sword," and she was just following the procedure step by step.

Don't be fooled by Mebel's seemingly aloof and beautiful appearance; she's actually a spoiled otaku with a cute animal-like personality who's prone to getting carried away.

The reason why Mebel has become such a recluse is largely due to her mother.

When Mebel was nine years old, her mother abandoned her and eloped with a young man, writing down the secrets of the Ice Clan in a book and selling it.

Furthermore, Mebel's mother once taught her: "Live like a parasite, die without working. To this day, you live off your ancestors, relying entirely on the Frozen God Sword."

That's why Mebel has been living off the Frozen Sword in the village, her only job being to guard it and wait for a hero to come and borrow it.

Mebel was naturally quite satisfied and pleased with this job, since she could just laze around all day and not care when the hero would arrive.

Anyway, even if the hero comes knocking, she just needs to complete her "job" step by step.

"We couldn't find the bougainvillea, but we found some other things to replace it. We hope you can lend us the Frozen God Sword."

When Mebel heard that the Night City group hadn't brought the Podang Flower and wanted to take the Frozen God Sword from her, she originally intended to kick them out.

Although she was lazy and gluttonous, she still had some professional ethics for her only job. Besides, she was always the one who got others to take advantage of her, so naturally, she wasn't going to agree to let others take advantage of her now.

"Don't be so quick to refuse, Miss Mebel. Although I don't know what the bougainvillea means to you."

But what we're replacing it with isn't anything ordinary either; in fact, it's something that's absolutely unique in this world.

As Ye Cheng spoke, he reached behind him, and at the same time, Shima Yosuke understood and activated his magic, turning a blank white book into a beautifully illustrated and colorful book.

"I heard that Miss Mebel is a shut-in who doesn't like going out... an artsy girl. I used to be like that too, so I know what kind of things people like us like."

What I have in my hand is what we call a 'comic book,' a rather interesting pastime. Miss Mabel, you might want to take a look."

When Mebel saw the comic book thrown in front of her, she tried to pretend to be indifferent, but the exquisite illustrations on the cover quickly caught her eye.

Thinking that she wouldn't lose anything by just looking, Mebel finally slowly reached out her hand and opened the book...

But once she started reading, Mebel couldn't stop. She felt as if a door to a new world had been opened for her. Before this, Mebel really had never imagined that there were such interesting books in the world!

Previously, Mebel spent most of her time at home sleeping, truly wasting her time.

It wasn't that she didn't want to do anything else, but rather that there were too few forms of entertainment in this world, and Mebel didn't want to do anything that would tire her out, so in the end, all she had left was to sleep.

But the appearance of this comic book today refreshed Mebel's understanding, letting her know that even lying flat can be very comfortable.

The idea of ​​trading comic books was something Ye Cheng and Shima Yosuke had planned beforehand. As fellow otaku, they naturally knew what their kind needed.

For Yosuke Shima, bringing the comic books back to life in this world was not a difficult task. He simply needed to have the memory spirit copy all his memories of the comics onto the books.

Since their initial goal was to help Mebel resolve her inner conflict, Yosuke Yoshiro chose to read a comedy manga instead.

Seeing Mebel's expression of barely suppressing her laughter in order to maintain her composure, he knew that this round was probably going to be a sure thing.

Soon, Mebel quickly finished browsing through the dozens of pages of the comic book, but the plot was right at the climax, leaving Mebel wanting more.

"How about it, Miss Mebel? We've shown enough sincerity, haven't we? This book is absolutely unique in the whole world."

"If you lend us the Frozen God Sword, in addition to the sequel to the comic we just read, we can provide you with ten more different comics."
