Crossover Anime: This is not pure love at all

Yukino slapped her cheeks hard, trying to regain her usual cool and dignified demeanor, and stepped out from behind the tree.

"Are you alright?" Yukino walked over to Kuroe Minoru and handed him a tissue.

"It's nothing, just an ordinary Gurongi, not even a warm-up."

Kuroe Minoru took the tissue and wiped his hands, then sighed somewhat dejectedly and looked around at the dark park.

"However, we've made a wasted trip."

During his lunch break today, he planned to go to Urayasu City to find out more.

Then, just as he was riding the motorized Pegasus behind him, he found that the motorcycle suddenly lurched, and when he looked back, he saw that Yukino was already sitting behind him.

"Take me with you."

That's what they said at the time. Kuroe Minoru also felt that he could protect Yukino now, so he simply brought her along.

As a result, the two of them searched the back alley and the surrounding streets thoroughly for two whole hours, following the coordinates provided by Yukino's subordinates.

Forget about the rifts in Helheim, we haven't even found a single mutated leaf!

Clearly, the rift in Helheim opens randomly and is very unstable. Before Yukino's men burned the spreading plants, the rift had already closed automatically.

"The trail has completely gone cold."

Kuroe rubbed his temples. "I was hoping to pick a few locks while I was at it, but it looks like I'll have to wait until it refreshes next time."

"I'm sorry, the information I provided was outdated." Yukino lowered her head slightly, her tone tinged with apology.

"It's alright, it's good enough to have this news. Urayasu City is very far from my home, beyond my comprehension."

Kuroe waved his hand, then pointed to the meteorite crater behind him that was still emitting black smoke, "Besides, we at least took out a Gurongi while we were at it."

Just now, the two were about to ride their bikes to look for Helheim again because they couldn't find any clues about it, when they were blocked by the mandarin duck Gurongi.

Yes, he was stopped on purpose.

At that moment, Kuroe almost burst out laughing.

Perhaps it was because on the way back, Yukino took the initiative to put her little hand in his and let him hold it.

Or perhaps it's because of the subtle atmosphere between them.

In short, they were being watched.

Then the thing that just happened happened; he transformed into Night Rider and kicked that Gurongi to pieces.

"cough……"

Yukino had clearly also thought about how holding hands had attracted the monster, and a blush crept onto her fair cheeks again. She awkwardly looked away, pretending to admire the scenery on the ground.

"Now that the trail has gone cold, I plan to walk around the surrounding blocks to see if there are any remaining traces."

Kuroe Minoru suppressed her smile and turned to look at Yukino.

"Your afternoon classes are about to start, and the search might be a bit tedious. Why don't you go back first? I'll call you a car."

"don't want."

Yukino refused without even thinking.

This guy is trying to get her away again, and...

Yukino glanced at Kuroe Minoru's slightly bewildered expression without making a sound.

Given how stupid this guy is, he probably forgot about going to the cat cafe with her this weekend as soon as the phone call ended.

Well, well, it's not important anyway...

"Huh?" Kuroe Minoru paused, "But what about the afternoon classes..."

"The same."

Yukino spoke calmly, as if skipping class was a perfectly normal thing. "Anyway, with my grades, skipping a day of class isn't a big deal, especially since it's for something like this, and besides..."

Yukino paused here, her expression shifting several times before finally settling on a shy look. Her fair face was now completely flushed. "Y-you don't want to be with your girlfriend?"

"..."

ha?

Kuroe Minoru was completely stunned.

He stared incredulously at the blushing, sparkling girl in front of him.

Is this Yukino Yukinoshita?

Is this really not a Zerg in disguise?

Kuroe Minoru felt as if his heart had been hit hard by something, and the frequency of his beating instantly soared.

"Ahem... Of course I want to."

Kuroe Minoru suppressed the wildly upturned corners of his mouth and said in a serious tone, "It's my honor to be able to investigate alongside Miss Yukinoshita. In that case, let's continue."

"Let's go."

Yukino slightly raised her chin, trying to regain her usual aloofness, but her flushed cheeks were impossible to hide.

She took the first step, but as she passed Kuroe Minoru, she subtly slowed her pace.

Kuroe smiled knowingly and naturally reached out to take her soft, slightly cool hand in his again.

Yukino's body stiffened slightly, but she did not break free; she simply let him lead her.

……

After leaving the abandoned park, the two searched the surrounding area for another two hours.

It's afternoon now, and it's summer, so Yukino's delicate constitution certainly wouldn't be able to withstand the hottest time of the day for long.

Before long, the girl was drenched in sweat. Her thin white short-sleeved shirt became sticky and semi-transparent, revealing her fair skin underneath.

Fortunately, the midday sun was blazing, and there was no one outside, so this scene was not exposed to outsiders.

After a while, seeing that she couldn't hold on any longer and wasn't saying anything, Kuroe Minoru simply found a quiet coffee shop nearby and made an excuse to rest for a bit.

The air conditioning in the café was on full blast, and with the crisp sound of wind chimes as the door was opened, a cool breeze instantly enveloped the two of them, shutting out the summer heat outside.

"call……"

Upon entering, Yukino let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief, her previously tense shoulders relaxing slightly.

Kuroe chose a secluded booth by the window, but with greenery as a screen.

The reason... those who know, know.

Kuroe didn't say much, but silently took off his thin casual jacket, stood up, and gently draped it over Yukino's shoulders.

Yukino paused for a moment, then looked up and met the gentle eyes of Minoru Kamie.

"The air conditioning is a bit too strong; you're sweating, be careful not to catch a cold."

Yukino was slightly taken aback, and followed his gaze to look down at herself.

Only then did I belatedly realize that the white shirt, soaked with sweat, was clinging tightly to my skin, even faintly revealing the outline of my flesh underneath.

"..."

Yukino's cheeks instantly flushed red to her ears, and she grabbed Kuroe Minoru's coat tightly, wrapping herself up completely.

"You...you were watching the whole way here, weren't you?" Yukino bit her lower lip, glaring at him with a look that was a mixture of embarrassment and reproach.

"..."

"Alright, let's order some drinks first. Let me see..."

Answer my question!
