Anime Crossover Livestream: The Second Dimension

Only a "concept" containing a certain quality can trap Kayako for longer.

“It should keep her trapped for quite some time.” Aragaki Manami looked at Kayako, who was wearing a demon mask, also known as Oni-no-Oni.

A strange aura, invisible to ordinary people, flows within the pitch-black [Gui Nuo].

After glancing at her casually, he watched her silently as she was pulled into the house like a puppet on invisible strings.

Just as an actor who doesn't need to perform doesn't need to step onto the stage, the curtain falls.

As for Toshio Saeki?

Mana Aragaki lightly touched her toes, moving with lightning speed.

One kick!

A swift and powerful kick sent Toshio Saeki, who was tied up in mid-air, flying back into the haunted house.

If it weren't for the fact that Kayako, who was also bound and protected, couldn't be killed temporarily, then using a more powerful technique to truly eliminate Saeki Toshio would have been the most sensible approach.

However, since Kayako has not been dealt with, there is no need to kill Saeki Toshio, who is not a threat at all.

otherwise.

This has truly enraged Kayako. Given his current lack of strength and the fact that he has to fight desperately even to escape, he will likely have to expend considerable effort to fight Kayako to the death.

But what's the point of all this?

The best outcome is one that doesn't cause you any harm.

Mana Aragaki is very protective of herself.

If he can't solve it, he'll just drag it out for now; he has no reason to really fight Kayako.

But that's not quite right. Aragaki Manami suddenly realized that she could indeed obtain some kind of power from Kayako, but she needed to think about it carefully for the time being.

The live stream room was still in an uproar.

Anyway, he still wasn't in the mood to pay attention, so naturally he wouldn't explain anything to them.

He casually waved his hand to summon the three little devils who were about to speak back, then turned to look at the crew leader who was already lingering not far away: "Do you have paper and pen?"

The production manager, Minoru Nakagawa, who was hesitating whether to step forward, immediately realized what was happening and looked at the others, repeating loudly, "Do you have paper and pens?!"

Soon, someone efficiently prepared ballpoint pens and notebooks.

After receiving the document from Minoru Nakagawa, Manami Aragaki didn't waste any words and immediately started writing, all the while talking non-stop.

He spoke at a measured pace: "There is no way to eliminate this mother and child at the moment. I have only temporarily imprisoned them. If you have time, please collect what I need and do your best."

Upon hearing that the female ghost had not yet been eliminated, Nakagawa Minoru's heart nearly jumped out of his chest. He immediately declared resolutely, "We will definitely do it!"

"As I said before, do your best. Theoretically speaking, if these two evil spirits break free, they will usually come looking for me, so there's no need to be nervous."

"...Yes, I understand, but I will definitely do what you ask!"

Ren bowed his head and respectfully assured him again.

Sakurajima Mai, standing not far away, looked uneasy, and even Nakano Ichika found it difficult to calm down.

In theory?

If you treat something that concerns your own safety so casually, then you're just playing with your life!

At this point, not only the two girls, but everyone else temporarily stopped being curious and exploring further.

I just earnestly hope that Aragaki Manami can unleash her divine power and immediately kill the demon mother and child!

Unfortunately, Manami Aragaki didn't pay any attention to what the others were thinking. She simply finished writing down what she needed and left. Whether she did her best or not was up to the others.

In short, he will not place his hopes on others.

Just like with the [greed], [anger], and [ignorance] mentioned earlier, if the mockery wasn't strong enough, he would do it himself; if that still didn't work, then other methods would be used.

Aragaki Manami's goal was to minimize her own damage and injury.

He had no intention of hiding his identity.

After all, it's exhausting to try to cover things up, and most importantly, it might not be able to hide it at all, so why not just expose some of the information that's actually out in the open?

Instead of making people frantically search for your information, you might as well deliberately reveal some of it yourself.

It's roughly similar to the idea that "the highest level of lying is telling the truth."

"Let's go back." Without further thought, Manami Aragaki walked towards her residence.

I also glanced casually at the situation in the live stream.

[Despicable! Shameless! Wasn't that a scheme to use Toshio Saeki as a hindrance, and then provoke Kayako to the point of losing her mind with vicious words?]

[I don't understand what kind of magic this is this time? I only know it's very powerful, but it seems like it uses Buddhist teachings again? Wasn't it supposed to be a Taoist priest...?]

[Aragaki-kun, you're amazing! Superb~ Amazing in every sense of the word!!]

【Mana, I'm just glad you're safe. I saw a lot of medicinal herbs on the paper just now. Please take good care of yourself.】

[The magic likely involves witchcraft from our own country, Yin-Yang techniques from Japan, and Buddhism from India... plus the magical incantations he mentioned earlier, his knowledge is far too diverse!]

[Brother Aragaki, you're amazing! Even I, the king, have to give you a thumbs up!]

Aragaki Manami glanced at it briefly, then stopped paying attention to it.

After stopping at a restaurant I had been eyeing for a while, I ate my fill before heading back home and going straight to sleep.

The next day.

He only stepped out the door after a phone call came in.

When they arrived at the quiet tea house, there were two more people besides Minoru Nakagawa—two women, probably a mother and daughter.

I only exchanged pleasantries with Director Nakagawa for a short while.

Manami Aragaki didn't waste any more words, as she was too busy to continue the pleasantries.

“I’ve brought what you requested, Mr. Aragaki, please.” Minoru Nakagawa placed a bag in front of Manami Aragaki with great courtesy.

Aragaki Manami's heart stirred slightly, and she gave a soft "hmm": "Leave the follow-up issues to me. I will handle them before they break the seal. You can continue your normal lives."

Minoru Nakagawa quickly responded, then looked at Manami Aragaki with embarrassment, about to speak, but Manami Aragaki looked first at the girl sitting diagonally opposite him, wearing a rabbit hair clip: "Lean your head over a little."

The girl, who looked somewhat tired, paused for a moment before understanding and leaning forward.

Manami Aragaki gently tapped the girl's forehead: "You won't dream about them anymore."

"...Thank you very much. Also, excuse me, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Sakurajima Mai."

Chapter 27 Live Streaming Talisman Drawing and Alchemy? [Ouija Board] Quest

Mai Sakurajima?

Bunny girl?

No wonder it felt so familiar.

It's indeed difficult to tell the difference between 2D and 3D; you just feel a vague sense of familiarity.

Aragaki Manami's thoughts raced, her face remaining expressionless.

After listening to Mai Sakurajima's words, he said softly, "If there's nothing else going on, take a good rest for about a week, give yourself a break, and things will naturally turn around."

"After the worst comes the best..."

"It's just that my luck has improved," Manami Aragaki explained calmly, already holding the bag in her hand. She looked at the other two with an apologetic smile, "I need to get ready."

“Mr. Aragaki, let me see you off,” Nakagawa Minoru said earnestly, and Sakurajima Mai and her mother also stood up.

Manami Aragaki shook her head: "No need for that."

After twice politely reiterating his request and also refusing the implied reward from Nakagawa Minoru, he left.

Mai Sakurajima watched Manami Aragaki leave quietly, her emotions quite complex.

It wasn't some melodramatic love at first sight.

Having experienced so much since childhood and honed her skills in the entertainment industry, she wouldn't have such strange thoughts.

I just think Aragaki Manami is a weirdo. I apologize for saying that—perhaps I was in a hurry or didn't want to talk to her, so my manners weren't quite right, but I think she's a good person.

Speaking of which...

She still can't believe the supernatural events that happened yesterday, but her dream about Kayako and Toshio Saeki last night made her realize that it wasn't a dream.

She cannot bring herself to deceive herself.

After telling my mother about my situation early in the morning, she hurriedly contacted and asked Director Nakagawa for help, and then what happened next.

It seems there's also some good news.

For example, right now, Director Nakagawa told his mother to audition for an important role in a movie a week later, and emphasized that he needed to "get some rest"... It feels a bit superstitious.

The perspective shifts to the other side.

Carrying the rather heavy bag back to her residence, Aragaki Manami opened a small box containing ginseng without hesitation. After examining it for a while, she then looked through the other items.

Cinnabar, yellow paper, gold powder, silver powder... a whole bunch of miscellaneous things.

The individual items aren't too expensive, but when combined, they add up to a considerable amount.

In particular, the fact that the small box contained 45-year-old natural ginseng was beyond his expectations, as he was able to find it within half a day.

As for ginseng that's a hundred years old, or medicinal herbs that's several hundred years old... are you sure you haven't been reading too many novels? You could only imagine that if you had the means in ancient times.

In modern times, it's best not to dream.

There's nothing wrong with being realistic.

[The quality is good, and it's only about fifty years old. While it's not priceless, it's still quite valuable.]

[I eat 50-year-old wild ginseng from Northeast China like it's a radish, one a day!]

[I'm so excited! I've been looking forward to it since yesterday! Is it going to involve drawing talismans? I'm all ready!]

[Hahaha, I'm ready too! Watch this celestial master catch ghosts and exorcise demons to rid the people of evil!]

【Brother Aragaki, you wouldn't mind if I secretly learned your skills, would you?】

The Tang Dynasty. The royal family members gathered again, and unusually, there were also Taoist priests, Buddhist monks, and even people from foreign lands around them—all of whom were famous figures in the "future" spoiled in the spoilers.
