Crossover Anime: This is not pure love at all

"Ah, ah, Arigato..."

Goto Ichiri clutched the bento box tightly with both hands, her face turning red from holding it in, and finally managed to squeeze out a thank you.

Before Kuroe could respond, she darted downstairs like a startled rabbit.

The speed was simply breathtaking.

"..."

Watching the pink afterimage disappear into the stairwell in the blink of an eye, Kuroe Minoru took off his black-rimmed glasses and put them back in his pocket, somewhat speechless.

This level of social anxiety is just as bad as that in anime.

[Ding! Detected that Goto Ichiri has developed a strong affinity and dependence on the host!]

[Relationship documented: Goto Ichiri (grateful/regarded as a hero).]

Hearing the system notification, Kuroe Minoru chuckled.

"Do you have 800 Justice Points now?"

As Kuroe walked back, he pondered in his mind.

I only need 200 more points to qualify for a premium lottery draw.

Remembering the abysmal drop rate of the previous regular lottery, Kuroe Minoru decided to save up first this time, and then go for a big one once he had 1000 points.

"Gurgle—"

As I was thinking, my stomach suddenly let out a disapproving protest.

Kuroe Minoru then realized that he hadn't eaten lunch yet because he was in a hurry to come on patrol.

Moreover, the lunchbox that Miura Yumiko gave him in the morning was still lying quietly in his desk drawer.

"I need to hurry back for dinner."

Kuroe quickened his pace and returned to the classroom of Class 2-F.

Half of the lunch break had already passed, and the students in the classroom were gathered in twos and threes, eating and chatting, creating a lively atmosphere.

As soon as Kuroe Minoru entered the room, he keenly sensed a gaze falling upon him.

He followed the gaze and his eyes met those of Yumiko Miura, who was sitting in the front row.

When Miyuko Miura saw Kuroe looking over, she abruptly looked away as if she had been electrocuted, pretending to chat with one of the girls in her group, but her slightly reddened ears betrayed her nervousness.

Kuroe didn't seem to care, probably because he was afraid his bento would be rejected.

He remembered seeing this statement in anime before.

But I'll be there soon~ Bento~

Kuroe Minoru walked to her seat and took out the beautifully packaged pink bento box from the drawer.

I couldn't wait to open the lid of the bento box.

What came into view was a lunch that, although the plating was a bit rough, was definitely made with care.

Golden tamagoyaki, red sausages cut into octopus shapes, golden and crispy tempura, and white rice arranged in a smiley face pattern with seaweed.

Although some of the tamagoyaki had slightly burnt edges, overall, they still looked quite good.

Is this tamagoyaki?

Kuroe Minoru picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of tamagoyaki, and put it in his mouth.

"Um?"

Kuroe Minoru's eyes lit up slightly.

The taste was surprisingly good!

It has a sweet and salty flavor, and the texture is softer and more tender than regular scrambled eggs.

Indeed, the cuisine of each country has its own unique flavor, and it's impossible to simply judge whether it's good or bad.

We must not let prejudice lead us to preconceived notions.

Just like India, although that country is very poor and doesn't pay much attention to hygiene, Indian cuisine has a very unique flavor.

Due to the improvement in his physical attributes, Kuroe Minoru's appetite also increased significantly. Before long, he finished off a full bento box.

After eating and drinking her fill, Kuroe Minoru took the cleaned lunchbox and walked to Miura Yumiko's seat.

"Miura-kun."

"Alas!"

Upon hearing Kuroe Minoru's voice, Miura Yumiko, who was absent-minded, was startled and almost jumped up like a frightened kitten.

"Kuro-Kuroe-kun...is there something you need?"

She stammered, her eyes darting around, not daring to look at the lunchbox in Kuroe Minoru's hand.

Yui Yuigahama also stopped chatting and looked at the two of them curiously.

"Here, take this back."

Kuroe gently placed the cleaned and dried lunchbox on her desk, a genuine smile on her face.

"Thank you so much for the bento box, it tastes great."

Upon hearing Kuroe Minoru's praise, Miura Yumiko paused for a moment, then two charming blushes instantly appeared on her fair cheeks.

"R-really?"

She looked at Kuroe Minoru with some disbelief.

"You're not lying to me? Don't you think it tastes awful? I've tried making it several times this morning, and it burned every time..."

As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, carrying a touch of girlish shyness.

"Of course it's true."

Kuroe Minoru nodded and affirmed, "This is the first time I've tried this sweet and salty egg dish, but I really like it."

The phrase "I really like it" seemed to have some kind of magic, causing Miura Yumiko's heart to skip a beat.

Therefore, the girl naturally ignored the first half of the sentence, which was why Kuroe had never eaten omelet, a national dish.

Yumiko Miura lowered her head, twisted her hands together, and muttered something under her breath.

"I'm glad you like it. If there's another chance next time... I'll make it for you again."

[Ding! Detected a significant increase in Yumiko Miura's affection level!]

Um... complimenting the food is delicious can actually greatly increase favorability?

Speaking of which, Kuroe once praised a girl in his class for making really delicious cookies, and she rolled her eyes at him...

Kuroe Minoru smiled and didn't refuse: "Okay, thank you in advance."

Just then, the preparatory bell rang, interrupting the somewhat delicate atmosphere between the two.

Kuroe returned to his seat.

……

The afternoon classes passed uneventfully.

After school, Hei Jiangshi, as a member of the disciplinary committee, dutifully patrolled the campus.

Unfortunately, he did not trigger any system alarms until he reached the school gate.

"It seems that Japan's social atmosphere isn't so bad that it's full of scumbags."

Hei Jiang stretched and walked out of the school gate.

[Ding! Progress notification: The current installation progress of the "Instant Alert Plugin for Non-Human and Supernatural Evil" is 98%.]

[Installation is expected to complete in ten minutes. Please prepare accordingly.]

The system's voice in his mind gave Kuroe a jolt of energy.

It's almost installed!

He hadn't forgotten Orphino, the black man he'd met the night before.

That guy made some tough threats before he left, which means the other party definitely won't let this go.

Moreover, the two frail women of the Izumi family live next door. If that monster were to return and seek revenge while they are away, the consequences would be unimaginable.

With this plugin, he can spot it the moment it gets close!

Kuroe quickened his pace and headed towards the tram station.

As he boarded the tram home, the long-awaited notification sound finally echoed in his mind.

[Ding! The [Instant Alert Plugin for Non-Human and Supernatural Evil] has been successfully installed and integrated!]

[The system's radar scanning range has been expanded! It can now detect and issue warnings for all non-human evil life forms, such as Orphnochs, Grongi, and Zerg, as well as supernatural events within a five-kilometer radius!]

Five kilometers? That's so far?

Hei Jiang secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.

This area basically covers the entire neighborhood near his home.

However, before he could even feel happy...

【warn!warn! 】

[An extremely dangerous, non-human, malevolent life form has been detected approaching!]

[Target Type: Orphnoch!]

[Target location: Less than five kilometers from the host's location, and moving rapidly!]

[Predicted destination: Izumi Residence, XX-chome, XX-ku, Chiba City!]
