Crossover Anime: This is not pure love at all

The kiss didn't last long, nor did it carry the same awkward affection as Yui's earlier one.

It is raw and stiff, yet it carries a stubbornness that refuses to give up.

A few seconds later, Yukino, slightly out of breath, took a half-step back.

She slowly opened her eyes, and her once clear and cold eyes now seemed to be covered with a layer of mist. Her cheeks were as red as a ripe peach, and even her slender neck was tinged with an alluring pink.

Even though she was so shy, Yukino still held onto her pride and never gave up.

She lowered her eyes and looked directly at Yui, who was now frozen in Kuroe Minoru's arms.

They looked at each other in silence.

"Heh~"

Yukino Yukinoshita gave a disdainful laugh.

That's all for today.

Yukino turned away, not daring to look into Kuroe Minoru's eyes again. She simply turned her back to him and calmly straightened her collar.

"I still have some information about the Gurongi that I need to organize when I get back, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, she strode hurriedly towards the entrance.

"Bang."

The door closed.

It wasn't until she stepped out of Kuroe Minoru's house and stood in the cold night wind that Yukino's feigned composure crumbled instantly.

She leaned against the wall, covered her burning cheeks with her hands, and slowly squatted down along the wall.

"Ugh... What am I doing...?"

Yukino buried her face in her knees and let out a shameful groan.

If Yang Nai finds out about this, she will definitely tell her mother, and she will laugh at her mercilessly!

but……

Recalling the warmth of their lips touching just now, Yukino's heart skipped a beat again.

"Fool……"

……

Meanwhile, on the sofa inside the room.

Yui Yuigahama remained nestled in Minoru Kuroe's arms, staring blankly at the tightly closed door.

After a long while, she seemed to suddenly come to her senses and abruptly jumped up from Kuroe Minoru's arms.

"Waaaaah! Yukinoshita-san is so cunning!"

Yui covered her face, rolled around on the sofa, and let out a frustrated wail.

"I kissed her first! I was the one trying to make her jealous! But she turned the tables on me! And while she was kissing you, she kept staring at me! That's so unfair!"

Looking at Yui throwing a tantrum on the sofa, Kuroe Minoru suddenly couldn't help but laugh.

So you wanted to annoy Yukino?

"You're still laughing!"

Yui pouted and said coquettishly, then as if she remembered something, she suddenly leaned closer to Kuroe Minoru and sniffed near his lips like a puppy.

"What's wrong?" Kuroe Minoru leaned back somewhat guiltily.

"Hmph! It all smells like Yukino!"

Yui muttered a dissatisfied remark, then cupped Kuroe Minoru's cheeks in her hands, her gaze turning serious once more.

"No! I need to cover it up again!"

……

The following day, Friday.

The morning sun shone brightly and warmly on the road leading to Zongwu University.

Last night, I was entangled by Yui, who turned into an octopus, all night long.

Although with his physical condition, staying up all night no longer has much of an impact on him, it has a huge impact on Xiao Hei Jiangshi.

Last night, Yui was being restless, rubbing against him all the time, and accidentally bumping his head several times, almost making him lose his composure.

But thankfully he managed to hold his nerve.

This is why Kuroe looks so haggard now.

If you were touched and rubbed all night and couldn't do anything in return, you would feel the same way.

Kuroe Minoru yawned wearily.

What a blunder! I should have sent Yui home last night.

However, before he even got close to the school gate, he saw a striking blonde girl standing under the cherry blossom tree at the school gate.

It's Kitagawa Kaimu again.

Today, as always, he stood on tiptoe, craning his neck, his large, wine-red eyes anxiously searching for something in the crowd.

His absent-minded appearance made many passing boys turn around frequently.

"..."

He guessed why.

It's likely that Dongxue gave that memory to Haimeng as well.

Just as Kuroe Minoru approached, Kitagawa Kaimu, who was anxiously looking around, finally caught sight of that familiar figure.

"...Kuroe-kun?"

Kitagawa Kaimu was stunned for a moment, then her nose tingled, and tears welled up in her beautiful eyes at a visible speed.

"Waaaaaahhhhhh—Kuroe-kun—!"

The next second, Hai Meng could no longer hold back. She ran towards Kuroe Minoru without a care in the world, threw herself into his arms, and burst into loud sobs.

"Kuroe-kun! Waaaaah... You're not dead! Thank goodness! You really are alive!"

Hai Meng's cries attracted countless gossipy glances from those around her, but she didn't care about any of that at the moment. She just clung tightly to Kuroie's clothes and cried her heart out.

"Okay, okay, stop crying. Look, everyone's watching."

Kuroe Minoru looked helplessly at Kitagawa Kaimu, who was crying her eyes out in his arms. He gently patted her back and smiled awkwardly at the gossipy classmates around them.

"Waaaaah..."

Hai Meng buried her face in his chest, sobbing and choking as she said, "When I think of you, turning into a monster and being surrounded and beaten by so many insects, and in the end..."

"And with that background music playing from my memory, it was so touching..."

"..."

Did she mean "be the one"?

Kuroe Minoru thought back to the time when he started his counterattack and the background music that started playing was pretty exciting.

Or is it because the lyrics of "Be the One" are so touching? Because it's all in English, he can't understand it.

But I've heard that Japanese people generally speak very good English, so is Haimeng able to understand the lyrics?

Kuroe sighed.

The most crucial question is why she was looking for him at the school gate again? Couldn't she have waited until after class to check if he was still alive?

"Stop crying, this isn't the place to talk."

Kuroe gently patted her head and said softly, "Come on, let's go sit in the coffee shop next door, okay?"

"Hmm... hiccup..."

Haimeng nodded like a chick pecking at rice, but still clung to Kuroe Minoru's clothes, her teary-eyed appearance making her look especially pitiful.

Helpless, Kuroie could only let her hold him and led her toward a coffee shop not far from the school gate.

……

Inside the coffee shop, the warm yellow lighting is cozy and soft.

Kuroe found a quiet booth by the window, ordered a hot cocoa for Haimeng, and an Americano for himself.

"Here, have some hot water to calm your nerves."

Kuroe pushed the hot cocoa in front of Haimeng.

"Um……"

Hai Meng sniffed, picked up the warm cup with both hands, and took small sips of the drink. Her emotions gradually calmed down.

"Hei Jiang, classmate."

Hai Meng looked up at him earnestly, her eyes still glistening with tears. "I saw something explode in the sky yesterday too. Is it really all over? And... like the male protagonists in other tokusatsu shows, did you pay some kind of price...?"

"These are your last few days to live..."

As she spoke, Hai Meng's voice choked up again.

Hei Jiangshi was a hero who saved her twice.

She didn't want him to die.
