Anime Crossover Livestream: The Second Dimension

Upon hearing this, Fujiwara Chika stopped being stunned and seemed to immediately realize what was happening.

He let out an unnatural laugh: "I'm also envious of Hatsune Miku. Mr. Aragaki's music must be amazing. I really want to hear it."

Hatsune Miku nodded emphatically, secretly clutching the small note in her hand: "It sounds amazing!"

Fujiwara Chika nodded repeatedly, her sky-blue eyes blinking slightly: "...Oh right, it's getting late. Is Hatsune-san okay with this?"

"Ah!" Hatsune Miku exclaimed, covering her mouth and looking apologetically at Fujiwara Chika. "It's getting late... I'm sorry, Fujiwara-san, I have to go!"

Fujiwara Chika also walked to the door: "I have to go too. It's almost time. My sister should be waiting for me at the shopping center..."

"Then there is none..."

"That's all, I'm leaving now!"

Without a word, Fujiwara Chika took Hatsune Miku's hand and led her outside. In the final moment before leaving, Hatsune Miku took a deep breath of the unique and rich aroma of ramen through her delicate nose...

It smells so good!

It smells so good!

No wonder Fujiwara loves ramen so much.

The perspective shifts to the other side.

Without any delay, Manami Aragaki arrived in Shinjuku by car in less than ten minutes, as it was indeed very close by.

"The World's Number One Princess"

A slightly inexplicable sigh echoed in his mind.

Because of the live streaming environment, he naturally kept his behavior very restrained, and even if he had something to say or think, he would only say it in his mind.

Soon, Manami Aragaki stopped thinking about it and got down to business.

He glanced casually at the pink, suggestive sign, then walked into a dark corner amidst the light...

Click!

A crisp sound rang out, and Aragaki Manami pushed open the door and went inside, seeing the same empty environment as always in the darkness.

Then he closed the door.

Once inside, he didn't turn on the light; instead, he tossed a stack of papers in his hand and formed a hand seal.

shhhh~~

Paper with various colored marks drawn in the air flowed through the dark, inky environment, transforming into bizarre human figures at an extremely rapid speed.

The paper is deep red, and the subject is an origami drawing of a person!

Paper doll!

Sheets of paper transformed into paper figures!

In ancient times, living people were used for sacrifices, but this practice changed later due to cultural changes and the influence of primitive customs.

Manami Aragaki calmly pulled out a jet-black calligraphy brush from her person, the bright red bristles of which stood out conspicuously in the darkness.

With just a light touch on the paper that flew to her, the surrounding light and darkness seemed to change, ripples spreading like water, becoming increasingly viscous.

The sharp corners are softening and becoming rounded.

His dim eyes became dull and inscrutable, and his extra lips were frighteningly red!

As time passed, sheets of paper were transformed into neat paper figures under the brush in Aragaki Manami's hands.

They were arranged in an orderly fashion, like an army, filling the entire room...

Chapter 34 Paper Dolls and the Japanese Underworld! (From "Midnight Diner" by Ken)

Even in the gloomy environment, the dark, eerie black eyes still exuded a mysterious presence.

When Aragaki Manami finished making the last paper figure that seemed to be waiting for him, he stopped writing, his expression remaining completely unchanged.

The paper figures in the eyes had their crimson lips, outlined in vermilion, slightly upturned, as if they were smiling.

A smile tinged with smug satisfaction and a hint of bloodlust.

[...Making paper figures? This is associated with sinister professions like executioners, paper cutters, and corpse drivers. What exactly is he trying to do?]

I'm even hesitating whether I should continue watching. It's so scary! Is this some kind of black magic?

At this point, I had to admire the legendary playboys of Kyoto; how could they provoke Aragaki Manami so many times and yet get away with nothing?

[That's what I think too. After watching the previous battles, I understand that if he were truly going to be an enemy of Aragaki Mana, he would absolutely not show any mercy!]

[They've hidden it so well, they've used so many methods, and their cunning is terrifying!!]

Even at night, the live stream room was bustling with activity.

From discussing the true purpose of studying Aragaki Manami to his personality, behavior, and way of doing things.

Among them, the group of spoiled brats who offended him became the talk of the town for onlookers from beginning to end.

So many people are wondering if Manami Aragaki is really that magnanimous and tolerant.

He possesses extraordinary abilities, yet he remains unmoved by provocation and ridicule?!

In fact.

In the capital of the Qiming Empire, those spoiled brats who had offended Aragaki Manami went to Mo Qingxian every day to apologize and weep bitterly, as if it were a daily routine.

Because... everything that's happened in the live streams these past few days shows—Aragaki Manami is definitely not a kind person!!

At the very least, if he ever gains even greater power in the future, there's a very high chance he wouldn't hesitate to wipe out a group of people, directly or indirectly, by simply lifting a finger or uttering a single word, treating them like insects!

Even now, the methods Manabu Aragaki has displayed are enough to rival a nation! This is considering his ruthless and unscrupulous methods…

In particular, how many hidden tricks does Aragaki Manami have that she hasn't shown yet?

This matter is truly astonishing and awe-inspiring.

Among the onlookers were members of the Tang Dynasty's royal family—

Li Shimin, the ruler of the empire.

Because it was nighttime, he and his wife, Lady Changsun, were in their bedroom watching the live broadcast, observing the calm-looking man using incredibly magical methods to create one awe-inspiring paper figure after another.

The paper figures exude an endless, indescribable eeriness and gloom.

Even glancing at it through a screen evokes a sense of mental disorientation and contradiction, let alone actually facing it.

"Guanyinbi, what do you think he really wants?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it's nothing more than seeking the path to immortality," Changsun Shi said without hesitation.

Manami Aragaki's actions have begun to show some signs of trouble.

In addition, his personality is within the range that is understandable among ordinary people, so it's not a big deal to figure out a few things from it.

Upon hearing his wife's reply, Li Shimin nodded and continued reading...

Then it's passed to another person.

Li Ke was the third son of Li Shimin, the ruler of the empire, who was born out of wedlock.

He looked at his friend, Manami Aragaki, with whom he had shared drinks two or three times, with a wry smile, unsure of what to say.

"...I really envy Aragaki-san's busy schedule."

Next were Princess Chang Le and her younger sister, Princess Jin Yang, who shared a bed with her!

"Sister, Master Aragaki always seems very busy."

"...Sizi, as long as it's something you're willing to do, that's enough."

"Yes, I think so too." Si Zi nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

At 13 years old, she already understands many things.

It is also clear that Aragaki Manami has left almost no trace in this world.

Like a traveler, one no longer feels any attachment to the scenery already passed, especially when no such bond has been established.

That was indeed what Sizi thought.

He also wanted his father and grandfather not to be too obsessed with the pursuit of Tao, but in the end he didn't say much.

Because Aragaki Manami's daily live streams act like a catalyst that urges people forward, at least Jiko occasionally thinks about whether she can sprout wings and fly high into the sky to look down at the beautiful scenery.

Suddenly, she blinked.

The reflection of Manami Aragaki in the large mirror suggests that she has already begun packing her things, preparing to go back.

His work style remains as decisive and efficient as ever!

Let's return our perspective to Shinjuku.

It's a shop in Kabukicho that's not far from the izakaya featured in "Midnight Diner".

Aragaki Manami glanced at the not-so-empty space and was quite satisfied.

"Buying some more used furniture should be enough."

"After that, we began to observe the cycle of reincarnation in the Japanese underworld through magic... and conducted in-depth analysis."

Now he has accomplished the most important task at hand.

As for matters related to the live stream and Kayako, we can deal with them gradually.

boom.

As soon as the door opened, Aragaki Manami immediately spotted a middle-aged man standing not far away with an unsteady posture and his head tilted to the side.

The man was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, wearing a gray-brown suit with some oil stains, his inner shirt was mostly open and floral, and he wore a large silver chain around his neck.

It looks somewhat familiar.

A casual glance at the man's attire stirred something within Aragaki Manami.

Secret passage.

If nothing unexpected happens, it's "Ken," a supporting character from "Midnight Diner," and Kenzaki Ryu's underling, a club executive on this side.
