Crossover Anime: This is not pure love at all

I was just saying a line off the cuff!

I wasn't saying that to you!

Why did you give me such a heavy inner monologue?!

This is too heavy! It'll make me feel like I'm in some kind of band anime!

To change the world? To correct the weaknesses of all humankind?

When watching anime in his past life, Minoru Kuroe felt that Yukino's personality and ideals would definitely lead to a crushing defeat in reality.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when the water is clear, there will be no evil.

Trying to fight against the "hypocrisy" and "unspoken rules" of society on one's own is a thorny path destined to be full of pain.

Now, as this vibrant young girl stood before him, looking at him with eyes that seemed to be pleading for approval, Kuroe Minoru suddenly realized that she was just an ordinary girl using cold ideals to mask her fragile heart.

In fact, even Yukino Yukinoshita herself was slightly taken aback at this moment.

She is definitely not someone who would easily reveal her true feelings to outsiders, let alone to a mysterious armored man whose face she cannot even see.

But the shadow of her older sister Yukinoshita Haruno, and the isolation she faced from her peers at school because of her excellence and uprightness... all of these things made her waver in her beliefs on countless nights.

Just now, she had experienced a life-or-death crisis and was saved by this heroic person in front of her.

In the exhaustion and lingering fear after the tension subsided, the other person's casual remark was like a flame.

It melted the ice wall in my heart.

He was faced with a stranger whose identity was unknown, who possessed great power, and who had saved his life.

Yukino's nerves, which had been taut for too long, finally relaxed briefly, and she subconsciously poured out the heavy burden that had been suppressed deep in her heart.

"call……"

Kuroe Minoru let out a soft breath and spoke in a gentler voice.

"Changing the world... that sounds like a heavy dream that will leave you battered and bruised."

Upon hearing this, Yukino's eyes dimmed slightly.

Yes, even this mysterious person with incredible power thinks her dream is too unrealistic?

However, Kuroe Minoru's next words made her heart skip a beat.

"However, since you firmly believe that it is the right thing to do, then keep going."

"As long as it stems from your heart's dream, it deserves to be respected."

After saying that, Kuroe Minoru, ignoring Yukino who was stunned behind him, summoned a mobile Pegasus out of thin air.

He nimbly straddled the silver and red heavy motorcycle, and the engine roared to life.

"Bye now."

Without looking back, Kuroe Minoru twisted the throttle sharply, and the motorized Pegasus transformed into a red streak of light, instantly rushing out of the woods, leaving only the sound of its engine gradually fading into the distance.

"As long as it stems from a dream of justice in your heart... it deserves respect..."

Yukino Yukinoshita stood there blankly, softly murmuring the words that Minoru Kuroe had left behind before he left.

A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling her long, ink-black hair.

The girl's eyes, which had been somewhat confused due to self-doubt, gradually regained their light at this moment.

She looked in the direction the motorcycle had disappeared, and a beautiful smile bloomed on her usually icy and stunning face.

"Thank you……"

the other side.

Having already ridden his motorized Pegasus out of the abandoned woodland, Kuroe Minoru found a secluded corner to stop after confirming that there were no surveillance cameras or passersby around.

"call--"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully stopping an evil event (an attack by non-human life forms)!]

[Successfully rescued an innocent girl: Yukino Yukinoshita!]

[Event Rating: S-level!]

[Rewards being processed...]

[Justice Points Gained: 1000]

[Gained random skill: [Calm and Composed]]

[Normal Calmness (Passive): Regardless of the life-or-death situation faced, the host can forcibly maintain absolute rationality and calmness, thereby making the most correct judgment.]

"Hmm? A passive skill?"

The moment Kuroe finished reading this introduction.

A cool sensation suddenly spread from the depths of his brain, instantly flowing throughout his entire body.

The adrenaline rush from the recent life-or-death battle, the slightly rapid breathing, and the awkwardness and unease that followed Yukino's heavy speech...

At that moment, it was as if an invisible hand had instantly smoothed it out!

Kuroe Minoru subconsciously touched his chest.

My heartbeat is steady and my breathing is even.

His mind was now as clear as if it were made of mint, terrifyingly lucid.

"This skill... seems really useful..."

Never underestimate the importance of the word "calm".

When faced with monsters like the Orphnoch and the Zerg, which possess terrifying power, the instinctive human reaction is often fear and panic.

On the ever-changing battlefield, even a fraction of a second of panic can be fatal!

Moreover, this skill is equally useful in daily life.

At least I won't be as clueless and helpless as a naive young boy who's never seen the world again.

"Very good, very practical."

Kuroe nodded in satisfaction.

He glanced at his phone; the morning preparatory bell was about to ring.

Kuroe Minoru straightened his slightly disheveled school uniform, dusted himself off, and walked toward the teaching building with a normal expression.

……

A few minutes later, in the classroom of Class 2-F.

As the preparatory bell rang, Kuroe entered the classroom and returned to her seat.

As soon as he sat down, Miura Yumiko, who was in the row in front of him, quietly turned her head, her fair cheeks flushed slightly, and placed a small bento box on the corner of his table.

"Um... Kuroe-kun, this is today's bento. I... I adjusted the heat a little, so there shouldn't be any burnt edges."

Hoho... I get to eat bento boxes again!

No, no!

Kuroe Minoru shook his head violently.

[Stand Calm and Composed]! Activate it now!

The next second, Kuroe Minoru's heart became completely calm.

"Thank you, Miura-kun. I feel really bad troubling you every day. I'm really looking forward to today's flavor."

"I can say that politely," said Kuroe Minoru.

But this polite demeanor was seen in a different light by Yumiko Miura.

Seeing Kuroe Miyu's gentle and polite smile, Miura Yumiko's heart sank to the bottom.

Why would he do that?

She'd seen plenty of those smiles that looked polite but were actually distant.

But she never expected that smile would appear on Kuroe Minoru's face.

Why?

Was it because she delivered lunchboxes for two consecutive days that he was unhappy?

Or is it because he doesn't like my bento box?

Various thoughts drifted through Miura Yumiko's mind, and finally she forced herself to force a stiff smile.

"that……"

"Um?"

Kuroe Minoru was also completely bewildered by the almost tearful expression on Miura Yumiko's face.

What's wrong with you?!
