Anime Crossover Livestream: The Second Dimension

Upon just one glance, and then pondering the face of the izakaya owner, Aragaki Manami's expression became quite strange.

He pondered it to himself.

It has incorporated elements of film and animation, so it's not surprising that it has also incorporated elements of television series.

Is it "Midnight Diner"?

Aragaki Manami thought to herself, without giving it much thought.

His situation remains quite complicated.

First, you need to rent or buy the house, and then you have to deal with the real protagonists of "Ju-on"—a mother and son—who are about to be released.

To be honest, the former is more important, since it involves whether one can gain access to the various powers of the Japanese mythological underworld in the future.

The latter is also quite troublesome.

He currently has no way to deal with it, because the blue bar is only about one-fifth of its original size, and it will take at least ten days to recover normally.

Even if he were to truly recover, he wouldn't have the power to truly eliminate Kayako and her son, Toshio Saeki.

After all, the mother and son had formed an extremely powerful "curse".

Just like the title suggests—a powerful curse cast by someone who died unjustly!

Its difficulty lies in its near-immortality, making it virtually impossible to kill using normal methods. However, if one were to truly unleash the potential power of the Ama-no-Murakumo, it would be no problem, but that would be too wasteful and unnecessary, as each use would reduce its lifespan, so it's better to prolong the process.

Besides, at least for the time being, we can't use it even if we want to!

Because he had already used it more than once.

Currently, I'm not only lacking mana, but I've also depleted a lot of my essence and blood, so I need to rest and recuperate properly.

With that thought in mind, Aragaki Manami stopped thinking about these miscellaneous things and didn't even consider whether there were any strange customers at the izakaya.

The thought process only lasted a moment, and just as he was about to speak, the izakaya owner said, "You can also order your favorite dishes, and I'll make them if I can."

Manami Aragaki said, "Then let's start with a pork broth set meal, and then four pork cutlet rice bowls."

The owner was taken aback for a moment: "The pork chop rice bowl is a very generous portion."

"I actually just finished eating at the buffet not long ago."

"I understand," the boss said, turning around quickly to get to work.

Manami Aragaki then picked up the glass of ice water in front of her and drank it all in one gulp.

[This Showa-era style izakaya looks very welcoming~]

What exactly happened before? That spirit sword was probably helping Aragaki Manami, right? Aragaki Manami even seemed to say thank you. What's going on? Is there a linguist here?

To this day, I still don't understand what language they were communicating in. If I'm not mistaken, it was the ancient language of Yingzhou, but it's something like that.

[Is Manami hungry again? Go to sleep early, I'm staying up with you now.]

Seeing this live stream made me so angry I was shaking all over. I felt cold all day, my hands and feet were freezing. Oh, it's winter now.

[Brother Aragaki, don't you really want to take a break? You seem so busy all day long.]

The Tang Dynasty.

Li Ke was embracing his wife and looking at Aragaki Manami in the mirror when he exclaimed, "Brother Aragaki is truly dedicated; I have to admit I admire him."

His wife nodded in deep agreement.

After just a few days of live streaming, she developed a sincere admiration for the Taoist priest, or rather, the cultivator or immortal, whom her husband had befriended.

after all.

Upon arriving in that so-called "high-tech world" filled with countless temptations, Manami Aragaki always seemed to be plotting something.

Even if you don't understand it, you can tell that the matter is probably earth-shattering—because the scene is so spectacular, it's impressive even if you don't understand it!

The previous scenes of the eerie void, the phoenix phantom, and the divine sword unleashing their power were not deceiving.

After accomplishing all this, Manami Aragaki remained nonchalant and continued living like an ordinary person, leaving no trace of her actions.

It's described as low-key, but it's actually quite terrifying.

Fortunately...

"Fortunately, my husband is on good terms with Master Aragaki."

"It's just that we clicked," Li Ke said with a wry smile.

His wife, understanding the situation, didn't bring it up again.

She was certainly angry, even extremely angry!

Especially after learning from others that their future would be so miserable, how could she possibly accept it?!

However, knowing she couldn't fight against Li Zhi, Changsun Wuji, and others, she, like her husband Li Ke, became a "scapegoat."

She does whatever others tell her to do, leaving no room for criticism.

What use is it for Li Zhi, Changsun Wuji, or even Empress Changsun to act as peacemakers now?

So what if the so-called "future" is fake?

The Ming Dynasty.

Mo Qingxian was watching with wide eyes as Aragaki Manami ate pork soup with rice, and breathed a slight sigh of relief when she realized there was a lot of rice.

She wanted to properly thank the izakaya owner, and she never expected the rice to be served so full. She guessed the pork cutlet rice bowl would be just as full later. How wonderful!

Yingzhou.

Yawning, Yuzuki Eri, seemingly doing nothing, twirled her fluffy purple-white ponytail in her hand as she squinted at Aragaki Manami.

Her cherry-pink lips parted slightly: "Slurp slurp~ Slurp slurp~ Eat happily, okay?"

Soon, a small, white hand appeared on the computer screen in front of her, gently tapping on Aragaki Manami's hand, which had already begun to reach for the pork cutlet rice.

"The portion is very generous." In the izakaya, Aragaki Manami smiled gratefully.

The shop owner, with his arms crossed casually, said, "I'm honest with everyone, young and old."

Manami Aragaki chuckled but didn't say anything more.

He poked the center of the soft, white fried egg with his chopsticks, and the runny yolk spilled onto the white grains of rice and the crispy, golden-brown fried pork chop. He lowered his head and began to eat.

It was rare to find anyone around at that time.

Unfortunately, when I was eating my tenth bowl of pork chop rice, someone finally arrived—a plainly dressed man with a dazed expression, who was holding a bag of toast and asking the owner to make him a sandwich.

Manami Aragaki seemed to have thought of something, so she simply picked up the ice-cold beer that the boss had given her, took a sip, and then lay down on the table to rest.

Soon after, a stylishly dressed woman came over, chatted briefly with the man, and then left after making a phone call. Throughout the conversation, Aragaki Manami remained in a prone position.

Even when the man said, "It sounds worldly, but in the end, the rich still win," he didn't bother to complain.

Since I'm not interested in being a third wheel, and also because I want to keep eating, that's it.

"Midnight Diner" is also known as "Marriage Agency," but it's mostly a tragedy, very realistic, and there's not much to say about it.

Suddenly.

As if sensing something, Manami Aragaki, who was lying down, turned her head slightly.

In his eyes, he saw a naked little boy crouching with his knees drawn up to his chest. He looked up... and those dark, eerie eyes met his gaze.

Chapter 17 Mo Qingxian Wants to Work! An Encounter with Kousaka Kirino

"Oh."

Aragaki Manan sneered in his heart.

He kicked at the little boy, Toshio Saeki, but the moment he touched him, the boy vanished without a trace.

He didn't pay much attention to it.

I roughly understand that the seal on the haunted house will be broken in the next couple of days.

As for Saeki Toshio's ability to appear, it's because he was relatively weak, which allowed him to emerge.

After all, Aragaki Manami's main purpose in sealing the haunted house was to stop Kayako's actions, so it's quite normal that there were loopholes in other aspects that were exploited.

After all, he's not a god.

[We were just talking about class and reality, and now they're suddenly throwing in the supernatural? That's a really drastic change in style!]

[Aragaki-sensei's life is so colorful! Is the female ghost coming soon?]

【Zhen Nan, be careful. Also, I've always felt that marrying someone of equal social standing isn't the most important thing, so don't follow his example.】

[That scared me to death! I was watching the live stream intently when I suddenly noticed a little boy staring intently at Aragaki-sama's feet... How terrifying!!]

[The ghost is out again! Watch out, it might crawl into your bed, Aragaki-kun~]

A predestined relationship under the moon?

Aragaki Manami looked puzzled, thinking to herself that the flat-chested girl who had taught dance before was indeed the truth.

If Kayako were to come out, she might actually crawl out from under the covers, which would be quite frightening.

He then stopped paying attention to the matter, not even concerned about whether Toshio Saeki would continue his efforts.

Upon this encounter, Aragaki Manami realized that the child's existence was now intertwined with that of his mother, Kayako, and the haunted house.

Although its strength is only so-so, it has at least inherited some immortality, so in short, it cannot be easily destroyed.

So let's just pretend he doesn't exist. After all, this kid really doesn't pose much of a threat; at most, he'll just be a background character to scare timid people.

If you really encounter some vicious thugs or daring perverts, it's probably a matter of who scares whom.

He didn't think about it any further, because the heartbroken man had finally left, and he could continue eating.

"Boss, five more bowls of pork chop rice."

"Okay." The boss, who had just comforted the heartbroken man, smiled without any apparent change in expression.

Manami Aragaki raised her hand and poured the mixture of ice and water from the melted ice cubes in front of her into her mouth, chewing it casually, letting the coolness spread from her mouth to her entire body.

After that, the five pork chop rice dishes were finished.

After finishing her meal, Mana Aragaki naturally went to sleep on the grass in a nearby park.
