Crossover Anime: This is not pure love at all

Yukino took a deep breath and took a half step back.

Then, to Kuroe Minoru's astonishment, Yukino Yukinoshita bowed deeply to him with utmost solemnity.

"Hei Jiang, classmate."

Yukino's voice carried an unprecedented sincerity.

"Thank you."

"It's not just because you saved my life twice... it's also because of you that I silently protected everyone in the darkness."

"You... are a true hero."

Faced with Yukino's earnest thanks, Kuroe Minoru felt a little embarrassed.

Kuroe Minoru reached out and helped Yukino straight up.

"Ahem... You're too kind."

"Let's discuss what kind of help you need from me first."

Kuroe changed the subject, his gaze returning to the document.

"You just said you needed my help with something, is it about the Gurongi?"

Yukino nodded, her expression becoming serious.

"That should be true."

"During the investigation of these cold cases, I discovered a very suspicious location."

Yukino pointed to a copy of the map that was attached to the last part of the document.

The location in the suburbs of Chiba City is circled in red above.

"This is an abandoned factory owned by a biotechnology company called Smart Brain."

"A Brainpower Company?!"

Upon hearing this, Kuroe Minoru's pupils suddenly contracted.

In the original Kamen Rider 555 manga, the AI ​​company is the headquarters of Orphnoch!

"Have you heard of this company?" Yukino keenly sensed the change in Kuroe Minoru's emotions.

"Hmm... sort of. Go on." Kuroe Minoru didn't explain further, gesturing for her to continue.

Yukino pointed to the red circle on the map.

"I compared the last known locations of missing persons in Chiba City over the past few months and found that a significant number of them had been in the vicinity of this factory before they went missing."

"Therefore, I suspect..."

Yukino took a deep breath and stared intently at Kuroe Minoru.

"That place is very likely a gathering place for monsters, or even... their lair!"

Upon hearing Yukino's deduction, Kuroe couldn't help but secretly admire her.

As expected of Yukino Yukinoshita, her insight and action are truly astounding.

He couldn't have imagined these things at all.

He had only set off on short notice because of the system's warnings, and never imagined that he could investigate and raid someone's home.

"It's all the system's fault!" (not really)

Without a shred of guilt, Kuroe Minoru shifted the blame to the system before taking a deep breath and saying, "So, you want me to go with you to raid their house?"

"Confiscating property?"

Yukino paused for a moment at the unfamiliar term, but quickly understood its meaning and nodded seriously.

"Yes, I have no power to fight them, not even the police or the Yukinoshita family."

"So, I have no choice but to ask you for help."

Yukino looked at Kuroe Minoru with eyes full of trust.

"No problem, I promise you."

Without hesitation, Kuroe Minoru agreed.

If there really is a large group of Orphnochs or other monsters inside, then for him it would be a huge "justice point experience pack"!

"When do we set off?" Kuroe asked.

"Tomorrow afternoon."

"Tomorrow afternoon? Why does it have to be tomorrow?" Kuroe asked, somewhat puzzled.

Yukino pointed to several dates in the document and explained:

"Because according to my statistics, those people almost always disappeared near the factory between Wednesday afternoon and evening."

"So I speculate that they might only act on Wednesday."

Looking at the dates marked on the documents, Kuroe Minoru confirmed that they were all Wednesdays.

"Okay, then let's set it for tomorrow afternoon after school."

Kuroe Minoru carefully put away the documents and looked at Yukino with a serious expression.

"When we get there tomorrow, you must stay close behind me and absolutely cannot act on your own. If a fight breaks out, find a safe place to hide immediately, understand?"

……

The next day, Wednesday.

Although Kuroe Minoru usually didn't pay much attention in class, he was going to "raid" houses in the afternoon after all.

So throughout the entire day of classes, Kuroe Minoru seemed even more distracted.

At noon, Kuroe Minoru learned from her previous experience and informed Yui and Miura in advance that the Disciplinary Committee had an emergency meeting that day and she would have to eat bread at the student council area.

They successfully avoided a potential "battleground".

The school bell rang in the afternoon.

Kuroe first went to the abandoned storage room of the old school building.

"Sorry, Goto-kun, the disciplinary committee has a special patrol duty today, so we can't listen to you play the guitar."

Looking at Pochi-chan, who was holding a guitar and looking expectant, Kuroe Minoru said somewhat apologetically.

"Huh? A special mission?"

Goto Ichiri paused for a moment, then immediately stood up straight, waving his hands repeatedly.

"It's okay! Kuroe's job is the most important! Please, please be careful of those delinquents!"

In Boqi's mind, the special mission of the disciplinary committee members was probably to fight with the underworld.

Kuroe Minoru did not provide an explanation.

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

After saying goodbye to Boqi, Heijiang quickly arrived at the gate of Zongwu University.

From afar, he saw Yukino Yukinoshita standing under a cherry blossom tree.

Today, Yukino deliberately changed out of her school uniform with black stockings and put on a dark, fitted trench coat and a pair of black trousers that were easy to move in.

He also had a magenta camera hanging around his neck, which made Kuroe's eyes twitch.

She even tied her hair up in a high ponytail, which made her look less aloof and more capable and spirited.

"Have you been waiting long?" Kuroe asked as he stepped forward.

"We just arrived." Yukino shook her head. "I've already planned the route. After taking the tram to the suburbs, it'll be about a 20-minute walk. Let's go."

"..."

This conversation sounds like a date.

Kuroe Minoru shook his head, banishing the strange thoughts from his mind. "Yeah, let's go."

The two walked side by side on their way to the tram station.

The handsome man and beautiful woman attracted the attention of many passersby along the way.

Especially Kuroe Minoru, thanks to the effects of the [Perfect Gene Optimization Fluid], now has a look and aura that are just as good as Yukino's, and he even seems to attract more attention than her.

On the tram, neither of them spoke much, but silently watched the scenery rushing past the window, each preparing themselves in their own minds.

More than half an hour later.

The two got off the train at a remote stop on the outskirts of Chiba City.

Following the map that Yukino had prepared in advance, the two walked along a dirt road overgrown with weeds towards their destination.

The surrounding buildings became fewer and fewer, and the population became increasingly sparse.

Twenty minutes later, a huge abandoned factory with ivy-covered walls came into view.

The factory's large iron gate was rusted, with several thick iron chains hanging on it.

Above the main entrance, on a faded sign, a rusty English letter can still be faintly discerned—
