Crossover Anime: This is not pure love at all

The two walked a little further in, and sure enough, even Yukino, who was walking behind, noticed something amiss.

She first noticed a few small, abnormally green seedlings on the ground while looking around.

Then, the further in you go, the more and larger the plants become.

Moreover, a cloyingly sweet and nauseating fragrance wafted in the air.

Looking at Yukino, I felt a chill run down my spine.

However, Kuroe Minoru, who was walking in front of her, remained unmoved, like an iron mountain, which instantly calmed Yukino's panicked heart.

Soon, the two arrived at a small open space deep in the alley.

The sight that came into view made Yukino gasp.

"This...this is..."

Before my eyes, the ground was covered with winding, dense foliage, the leaves so large that they almost completely covered the ground in green.

At the same time, countless vines wrapped around everything around them that they could climb, especially the wires that sealed the area, which were already covered with vines.

The plump, purplish-red fruits grow on these vines, and the exotic fragrance comes from them.

Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but swallow hard.

Although she had seen her subordinates' reports and photos before, seeing it in person was still somewhat...

"Never touch it, and absolutely do not eat it."

Kuroe Minoru noticed the faint swallowing sound and quickly turned to Yukino, whispering, "This is the fruit of Helheim. Any ordinary human who eats even one bite will turn into a monster."

Upon hearing Kuroe Minoru's warning, Yukino's eyes, which had been slightly dazed by the strange fragrance, instantly cleared.

So that's how it is.

But just now she had a crazy urge to eat it, and if Kuroe Minoru hadn't reminded her, she might have actually picked one and tried it.

A wave of fear washed over her belatedly, and Yukino instinctively covered her mouth and nose with her hand, then quietly took half a step closer to Kuroe Minoru.

"This fruit... it actually has the ability to entice humans to eat it willingly..." Yukino's expression turned serious.

"Yes, so this thing absolutely cannot be kept."

Kuroe nodded.

He did a lot of research last night and has gained some understanding of the plants in Helheim.

Right now, all I can see are plants; I don't see the zipper-like door, so it seems the crack has been closed again.

This left Kuroe Minoru slightly disappointed, otherwise he would have liked to try setting the mountain on fire.

"So, are we still going to burn all of this?"

Seeing that Kuroe Minoru hadn't reacted for a while, Yukino asked with some confusion.

"No."

Kuroe Minoru shook his head, then turned and walked inside.

"Eh!"

Yukino quickly reached out to stop her, but Kuroe Minoru was too fast. Almost as soon as she reached out, Kuroe Minoru had already run inside and started picking fruit...

Picking fruit?!

Yukino's expression instantly became incredibly varied, going from shock to fear, and then to terror... well, actually, it was terror.

But in the end, his facial expression seemed to freeze, and his face turned pale.

Kuroe said... "If humans eat this, they will turn into monsters..."

The girl couldn't help but swallow again, but this time it wasn't out of craving, but out of fear.

If someone like Kuroe Minoru, who has Kamen Rider abilities, ate it... would he become an elite monster?

Kuroe picked one after another, but instead of taking a bite as Yukino had expected, she simply peeled back the skin to peek at the tender, white flesh inside, which resembled lychees, before casually storing it in her system space.

In the world of Kamen Rider Gaim, this thing is like a lottery.

Anyone who possesses the Sengoku Driver will turn these fruits into Lockseeds if they touch them.

Lock types are divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D.

However, it is impossible to tell what grade the fruit is before it becomes a seed-locked variety.

So Kuroe Minoru picked all these fruits, planning to unlock them all after he got the Rider System in Gaim.

At Kuroe's speed, it didn't take long for all the fruit in the area to be picked clean.

Just as Kuroe turned around to ask Yukino if she had any matches, he saw the girl's horrified expression and knew that she must have misunderstood.

"Um, don't get me wrong, I don't want to eat it."

"No, you don't want to eat?" Yukino's voice trembled slightly.

She had been imagining a Kamen Rider Knight covered in plants, wielding a long spear and making zombie-like noises as he wreaked havoc on the city.

Now that she's come to her senses, her legs are still a little weak.

"Well, that's a long story."

Kuroe Minoru casually took out the portable lighter he had drawn earlier, squatted down, and lit the vines and branches on the ground.

"Sizzle—"

The plants of Helheim were flammable and quickly burned into a sea of ​​fire, eventually turning into ashes that drifted away in the wind.

As the plants were burned to ashes and the sweet, cloying fragrance gradually dissipated, Yukino finally breathed a sigh of relief.

To put it simply...

While looking at the fire, Kuroe Minoru explained, "These fruits are to me like... well, a lottery box? As long as I gain a certain ability in the future, I can turn them into weapons and tools that are useful to me."

"Lottery...weapons and items..."

Although Yukino was still confused, seeing Kuroe Minoru's expression, she stopped asking.

In any case, Hei Jiang has always been prudent in his actions.

"Alright, things are all taken care of here."

Hei Jiang dusted off his hands and stood up.

"It's getting late, let me take you home."

"Um."

Yukino nodded obediently, then seemed to remember something, a blush rising on her fair cheeks, and she softly reminded him:

"Don't forget what you promised me this weekend..."

"A cat café, right?" Kuroe Minoru replied with a smile. "Don't worry, I remember."

……

After dropping Yukino off at home, Kuroe Minoru subconsciously checked the time on her phone.

It's almost time to meet with Boqi.

Ouch, my head hurts.

Although ever since he impulsively accepted Yui's advances that day, to be honest, he had already had the idea that it wouldn't matter if there were a few more.

And Pochi... to be honest, he fits his type.

She's soft and sweet, and blushes when she's shy, which matches his preferences.

but……

Kuroe rubbed his temples.

Stop being so self-righteous, Kuroe!

Do you really think every girl will like you?!

Maybe Pochi just wants to talk to him about something else?

For example, ask him why he hasn't gone to listen to her play guitar lately.
