Anime Crossover: Starting with an Infinite Dragon God as a Mount

Virginia creeper... its iconic name is Virginia creeper, a vine that climbs on walls and rocks.

"No, actually I just feel that the emotion of 'liking' shouldn't appear too early."

Banya, the little Grim Reaper, had a slightly strange expression because of Su Mu's description of her as a "plant of the genus Citronella," but she quickly returned to normal.

"Wouldn't it be terrible if I fell in love with someone but they didn't like me back, or couldn't be with me for various reasons?"

The little girl named Banya, holding a scythe and a skull mask, spoke eloquently, showing no panic in the face of Su Mu's questions.

"Therefore, liking someone should only happen after you've confirmed that you can like them."

“As long as you’re willing to be my partner, or even my spouse, then based on my current level of affection for you, I’ll be able to quickly develop feelings of liking you,” Banya said, counting on her fingers. “According to my estimate, it should take at most five… no, three days to reach the point where we can kiss.”

"Please trust my ability to control my emotions."

The little girl, Death, gently raised her chin, her deep purple ponytail swaying slightly, seemingly looking a little smug.

"Are you so sure that if I agree, you'll actually fall in love with me?" Su Mu looked at her with a strange expression.

“Yes, I am quite confident about that.” The little girl, Death, nodded repeatedly. “Or rather, most of that confidence comes from you.”

“Your qualities are outstanding in every aspect, whether it’s strength or other talents. You should be what people call the ‘best choice’. Most importantly, your appearance suits my taste.”

Even the Grim Reaper is ultimately a sucker for good looks and a die-hard fan of aesthetics.

From this perspective, it's quite realistic.

However, the idea expressed in Banya's words is quite clear.

The general idea is that when a man and a woman meet, they should first confirm whether each other's conditions meet their own requirements, and then confirm whether they are willing to get married.

Before committing to marriage, one must suppress any sparks of love.

Only after marriage, after promising to spend their lives together, can they begin to cultivate their love for each other.

At first glance, it seems reasonable, as it can prevent hurt caused by a love that cannot last.

However, this kind of thing requires one to completely override one's emotions with rationality, or even to use rational thinking to control emotions.

This is actually a more ideal approach.

If we broaden our expectations of this ideal, then it's actually true that many people in reality don't come together because of love.

They didn't find each other disagreeable, could tolerate living together, discussed each other's circumstances, and simply decided to be together.

Then, unlike the normal "because we like each other, we must be together", it is the opposite: "because we are together, we must like each other".

To be honest, many people may not understand this kind of marriage at first, but in the end, they are more likely to find happiness than those who get together because they like each other.

Su Mu actually admires the mindset of "because we're together, we should like each other."

Just like Banya, she observed Su Mu's conditions before making that somewhat unconventional confession.

“Even if you become Sona’s familiar and are protected by the Siddi family, you still can’t get the sense of security you want.” Su Mu spoke slowly, not knowing whether he was speaking to the death girl in front of him or to Sona, who was an observer. “Or rather, the emptiness in your heart after losing your parents, you want to fill it with an equally intimate relationship.”

"That's why I said you were talking about plants of the Virginia genus."

“So—” The death girl Banya, holding the skull mask and scythe in her arms, tilted her head, her expression somewhat puzzled, “There shouldn’t be any problems, right?”

“Indeed, nothing is impossible. Whether human or otherwise, any creature with feelings will seek emotional support.” Su Mu nodded in agreement.

Whether it's seeking spiritual sustenance or fulfilling material needs, no one acts without a purpose.

The so-called selflessness is just a joke; it's just that some people are pursuing something deeper than what's on the surface.

Some people pursue material things, some pursue fame, some pursue power, and some pursue spiritual fulfillment.

A truly desireless person will not become a saint, but will lie on the ground doing nothing until they die of thirst and hunger, and finally rot.

"So, you shouldn't have any reason to refuse me now, right?" Banya smiled smugly. "Although it's a little embarrassing to say, I (Zhao) think I'm pretty cute, and I'll be very obedient if there's anything you want me to learn—"

She paused, a faint blush rising to her cheeks.

"I can also go and learn the necessary knowledge system."

Well, judging from her expression, it's clear that what she's talking about isn't any serious knowledge.

"No, there's one more thing I think you should pay more attention to." Su Mu raised his hand and patted her Grim Reaper hood. "Since it's such an important matter, don't you feel that your observation period was far too short? Since you're going to be life partners, you must put more effort into the evaluation, right?"

“Eh? This—” Banya paused for a moment.

“When it comes to evaluating a partner, you must be able to see beyond the surface and truly gain a comprehensive understanding,” Su Mu said slowly. “If you are too hasty in this regard, it is not impossible to regret it later. For the sake of both of us, you should do more research before making a decision.”

“That seems to make sense…” Feeling the hand on her hood, the Death God loli instinctively tightened her grip, blinked her golden eyes, and replied with a slightly flushed face.

Indeed, in such situations, temporary refusal is more effective than immediate acceptance.

Su Mu understood perfectly.

Chapter 81 The Tea Ceremony is the Best, Glug Glug (6/6) Request for full subscription and self-subscription

The black chess piece resembling a knight vanished from her hand. The death girl named Banya closed her eyes tightly, and invisible magical energy emanated from her body, causing the papers in the room to rustle.

Black demon bat wings slowly unfolded behind him.

"It doesn't seem like there's been much change."

With her eyes slightly lowered, her lazy, golden eyes half-open, she gently clenched and unclenched her fists as she commented.

Banya is a hybrid of a Grim Reaper and a human, and has become a Grim Reaper herself.

Naturally, she couldn't gain a significant boost in power like an ordinary human being who was transformed into a demon.

"Welcome to officially join us and become my partner."

Shiki Sona's lips curled up slightly, a rare occurrence, as he reached out his hand to the Shinigami girl who had just become his familiar.

"I am very grateful to Lord Sona for saving me back then, and for continuing to provide me with protection now."

As Banya spoke, she quickly reached out her hand.

For her, Shito Sona, who saved her at a critical moment and provided her with subsequent protection, was someone she had to be grateful to.

"Speaking of which, taking advantage of this opportunity, how about Su Mujun also becomes a member of our student council and becomes the president's spouse?"

At this moment, all members of the student council were present.

While Banya was undergoing her demonic reincarnation, Shinra Tsubaki suddenly looked at Su Mu and asked in a joking tone.

"Forget it, personally, I still prefer being human." Su Mu shook his head and answered without hesitation.

"I see..." Zhenluo Tsubaki sighed softly, then looked at her guild leader with a helpless expression.

Clearly, she had never expected Su Mu to insist on this point.

For now, all we can do is hope that in the future, we can use the advantage of a demon's lifespan to attract Su Mu to reincarnate.

However, what she didn't know was that Su Mu, who had already started climbing the Kabbalah tree, had a lifespan that could no longer be estimated by normal human standards.

Given the situation, Sona was not at all surprised.

Or rather, she would be truly surprised if Su Mu actually agreed.

Su Mu glanced one last time at the pair of demonic bat wings sprouting from Bania's back, a thoughtful expression on his face.

This was the first time he had ever witnessed a demon reincarnation ritual, and it was astonishing in both efficiency and simplicity.

Simply by absorbing the chess piece, one can be instantly transformed into a demon.

It is evident that these small chess pieces contain astonishing wisdom and profound knowledge.

In contrast, the Celestial Realm, which also faces a shortage of personnel, is still in the research stage regarding the "angel reincarnation" playing cards.

"Cangna, I have something to attend to now, so I'll be leaving now."

Su Mu glanced out the window, greeted Shiki Sona, and walked out of the student council office.

"Wait a minute, I'm going too."

Seeing that Su Mu was about to leave, Bania's lazy eyes immediately opened for a moment.

She immediately retracted her demon bat wings, picked up the scythe and mask that were temporarily placed beside her, and prepared to follow them.

As mentioned before, she now wants to carefully observe Su Mu's situation.

If conditions allowed, she even wanted to write a diary of her observations of Su Mu.

However, Shiki Sona silently raised his hand and pressed down on her shoulder.

"Having just become a demon, you now need to undergo a comprehensive test of your physical attributes."

"In this way, we will have corresponding strategies for future training and procurement of various professional supplies."

"Oh? Is that so? Okay then." Banya looked longingly at Su Mu's departing figure and sighed helplessly.

only......

As a long-time member of the student council, Tsubaki Shinra said she had never heard of such a test before, and that she must have misremembered.

After all, her boss was a girl who could kick out her family members who were eating, just to give her and her sweetheart some space.

In that case, it's normal for one's own memory to be affected and for mistakes to occur, as a subordinate.

"Himejima-senpai, if you have something to ask me, just come out."

Stepping outside the classroom, Su Mu crossed his arms, glanced at the empty surroundings, and said in a leisurely tone.

"Oh my, how did you find out that I came to find you, Junior Su Mu?"

Himejima Akeno quietly emerged from her hidden state, smiling sweetly, her eyes narrowed into slits.

Her already extremely full figure, even surpassing Rias's, which could make many girls at Kuoh Academy despair, now appeared even more prominent with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Actually, I think I'm pretty good at hide-and-seek."

"Himejima-senpai, I think it's no use no matter how well you hide it."

Su Mu spoke calmly.

"When you came here, you probably looked into the classroom first, right? Actually, I happened to see your face reflected in the window at that moment."

Himejima Akeno must have come here to see me about something.

If Rias wasn't looking for herself, but for Sona, then it should be Rias herself who came.

Therefore, under these circumstances, it is easy to know that Himejima Akeno is hiding outside.

"Uh." Akeno Himejima's lips twitched, feeling genuinely embarrassed. (cfbh)
