Crossover Anime: This is not pure love at all

Buffalo Sugar Man reached out and picked up the acrylic sheet with the salesman's terrified face printed on it that had fallen to the ground.

"Damn it, you almost got me discovered by other humans..."

He muttered to himself as he casually stuffed the acrylic sheet on the ground into his satchel.

He wasn't afraid of humans. Even if humans had something called a gun, it wouldn't hurt him at all if he got shot.

Not to mention that only those people wearing black hats have guns.

His only fear was being seen by other humans. Even if he captured those terrified humans, they would only be worthless spices and wouldn't be worth much in terms of dark snacks.

"Hey, what did you pack up? Let me see."

"Who?!"

Buffalo Sugar Man whirled around, his fierce gaze sweeping in the direction from which the sound came.

In the shadows at the end of the driveway, a handsome young man dressed in casual clothes was walking towards them at a leisurely pace.

In the boy's hand, he was also playing with a small makeup mirror adorned with rhinestones and pink lace trim.

"Humans?"

The Buffalo Sugar Man was somewhat annoyed; he should have disguised himself as a human first before turning back.

People who are good-looking like this generally lead happier lives.

You must be terrified to see him like this now, right?

But after a few seconds, he realized that the boy in front of him did not show any fear.

Is he an idiot?

Seeing the mocking look on his face, Buffalo Sugar Man silently dismissed the idea.

It's like facing a brown bear with a gun—you wouldn't dare to bare your claws.

Because this feeling of confidence, of being able to kill you at will, cannot be faked.

It seems the other person is also a sugar person, and wants to ask him for some because he hasn't caught enough humans.

Moreover, judging from this stance, the opponent's strength should be above his.

"for you."

As the other person approached, Kuroe Minoru, who was already planning to transform using Hai Meng's makeup mirror, paused slightly when she saw the small bag handed to her, and then subconsciously took it.

"What else is there to say? We're buddies, you can take these and trade them for snacks."

Kuroe Minoru burst out laughing, "Holy crap, you're so loyal, bro?"

"Absolutely."

Although the Buffalo Sugar Man was heartbroken, he still maintained a magnanimous demeanor on the surface.

This is the result of his hard work all day!

Kuroe Minoru opened the small bag and glanced inside. There were about a dozen acrylic panels of humans with terrified or desperate expressions.

Only one woman had a face full of happiness.

It seems this guy isn't very good at disguising himself. These people were obviously caught because they saw what he looked like.

Kuroe gave the package a couple of shakes and stored it in his system space. This single move left the Bison Sugar Man opposite him completely astonished.

He is indeed a strong person!

They actually have this kind of spatial ability!

Before it could react, Kuroe Minoru suddenly put his arm around its shoulder with a warm expression.

"Brother, you're so kind! By the way, do you have any more?"

"No, that's all, that's all..."

"Huh? You can't be lying to me, can you?"

"Really! There really aren't any left!"

Feeling the terrifying strength of the boy's arm around his shoulder, a bead of cold sweat rolled down the Buffalo Sugar Man's forehead.

What a greedy fellow!

"Alright, I'll trust you for now."

"By the way, how about we go deliver the goods together? I'll share half of the snacks with you when I get them?"

"Wu?!"

Buffalo Sugar Man never expected that this "strong brother" in front of him would be so righteous.

Instead of stealing his loot and leaving, they offered to take him with them to deliver the goods and even share half of his "dark snacks" with him!

"You...you're telling the truth?" Buffalo Sugar Man could hardly believe his ears.

"Of course, who am I? I'm the most loyal person."

Hei Jiang patted his chest and said with a hearty expression, "Shall we go?"

The bison sugar man was overjoyed.

We've struck it rich!

He was worried that his earnings today would be too low, that his snacks would be cut, or that he might even be fired.

I never expected to encounter such a righteous elder of my own clan!

If I follow this big shot, I might be able to live a life of luxury from now on!

"Alright, alright! Let's go, big brother!"

The Buffalo Sugar Man rubbed his hands excitedly and eagerly led the way.

"The delivery took place in a back alley of a residential building, and then Lord Lango's retinue took it away!"

"Lady Grotta used to come and keep an eye on things occasionally, but lately, for some reason, she hasn't come for quite a while."

Kuroe Minoru's lips curled up slightly.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you to lead the way, brother. I'm new here and not very familiar with the area. Lord Grota just told me he was coming and left, so I can't remember the place names at all."

Upon hearing this, the Buffalo Sugar Man felt even more admiration for him.

It was Lord Grota who brought it personally!

……

In the coffee shop.

After Kuroe Minoru left, only Kitagawa Kaimu and Kato Megumi remained in the booth.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.

Haimeng stirred the hot cocoa in her cup, occasionally stealing a glance at Kato Megumi, who was quietly sipping her iced Americano across from her.

"Um... Kato-kun."

Hai Meng finally couldn't contain her curiosity and broke the silence first.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Kitagawa-san?" Kato Megumi put down her coffee cup, looked up, and calmly looked at her with her clear black eyes.

"You and Kuroe... are you really childhood friends?" Haimeng asked tentatively, biting her straw. "You mean, the kind where you grew up together and can talk about anything?"

Kato Megumi tilted her head slightly, seemingly deep in thought about the question.

"Hmm... It's true that we grew up in the same class since we were little," Kato Megumi said calmly. "However, we probably wouldn't call each other 'close friends.' He used to prefer being alone, but only recently has he started to shine."

At this point, Kato Megumi lowered her gaze slightly, looking at the ice cubes in the glass.

"However, I possess that memory... I saw him covered in wounds, protecting everyone." Kato Megumi raised her head, looking directly into Haimeng's eyes. "Kitagawa-san, you saw it too, didn't you?"

Hai Meng paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously, her eyes reddening slightly again: "Yes! Hei Jiang is a true hero!"

"so……"

Kato Megumi's lips curved into a very faint smile, her tone remaining calm and composed, but her words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky:

"I think I really like Kuroe-kun."

"Why?!"

Haimeng was caught off guard by Kato Megumi's direct attack and was completely stunned.

She had initially thought that Kato Megumi would be like those traditional childhood friends in anime, keeping her feelings hidden and stubbornly refusing to admit it. She never expected her to be so frank in admitting it!

"I...I like Kuroe too!"

"Really? Then we're rivals in love."

Kato Megumi smiled slightly, as if she didn't care at all about Hai Meng's declaration.

Then, as if remembering something, he casually added another blow:

"However, Kitagawa-san, you might need to step up your game. Because as far as I know, Kuroe-san seems to have already... confirmed her relationship with Miura-san and Yui-hama-san."

"ha?!"

Hai Meng was struck dumb, frozen in her seat.

Miura-san? Yui-hama-san?!

And there's more than one?!
