Anime Crossover Livestream: The Second Dimension

[Brother Aragaki, when will we be able to chat like this again?]

[Manami, you need to be at least an adult. Yingzhou, um, Japan... I think it's 16. That girl looks like she's already 16...]

The Enlightened Empire. Mo Qingxian stared wide-eyed at the girl on the screen, namely Kasumigaoka Utaha.

She wanted to see for herself why this girl had caught the attention of Aragaki Manami.

Does Manami like her?

murmured something, and Mo Qingxian involuntarily focused her gaze on that extremely inconspicuous corner.

The girl following closely behind Aragaki Manami had legs clad in sheer black stockings that, due to her movements, revealed a certain tautness that seemed almost palpable...

"Don't overthink it, Senior Mo," Yue Zhengling, who was sitting next to Mo Qingxian, said. "It might just be a misunderstanding."

Luo Tianyi nodded quickly, "Mhm."

Mo Qingxian turned her head and blinked at the two of them: "I don't have any relationship with them. I think Zhen Nan must have his reasons for doing things."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Besides, Manami has worked hard for many years and done a lot behind the scenes. I don't think it's right to judge him by the standards of a normal person."

"..." Upon hearing this, Yue Zhengling fell silent instantly and didn't say anything more.

She understood that Mo Qingxian was very opinionated and had very unique insights.

Although she has a natural personality like her friend Luo Tianyi, she is very intelligent, but she rarely investigates things too much.

For example, like that time before.

Mo Qingxian really intended to kill a group of spoiled brats who suspected Aragaki Manami of disappearing!

At the same time, Yue Zhengling couldn't help but feel that what Mo Qingxian said to her was absolutely right.

She had no idea how many secrets Manami Aragaki still held.

But since the start of the live stream, he has maintained a diligent and serious attitude, and has hardly slept at all, which gives people an indescribable feeling.

At least, it makes it more natural for people to think that Aragaki Manami is so amazing from the first impression.

However, there is another thing I must mention.

That is because Manami Aragaki hid herself too "deeply" in the two worlds that she had already been confirmed to have traveled to.

It seems very profound to many people, but in the other world it seems very relaxed, as if it is not too vigilant, which is really puzzling.

"It doesn't matter if it's you or not."

"Ah!" Luo Tianyi, still somewhat dazed, exclaimed and almost fell off her seat, but was quickly steadied by Mo Qingxian and Yue Zhengling.

"...Senior Mo, stop joking!"

After helping Luo Tianyi steady, Yue Zhengling covered her forehead, looking like she "couldn't take it anymore".

Luo Tianyi made strange "ooh ooh ooh ooh" sounds, and her small, delicate ears, visible through her gray-silver hair, appeared bright red, as if expressing some kind of emotion.

Mo Qingxian thought for a moment and replied, "It's a metaphor."

"Please... spare me and Tianyi."

A sound that was almost a sigh escaped from Yue Zhengling's mouth.

Let's shift our focus back to the world of live streaming.

Manami Aragaki had already arrived at the apartment building, with Utaha Kasumigaoka following closely behind him.

"Are you brave or not?"

"……what."

"You don't actually think I just brought you here to see what's going on, do you?" Aragaki Manami said to the girl whose shoulders trembled, without turning her head.

It's like stating a fact.

Although he finds Kasumigaoka Utaha, his senior, very "cute," he will not compromise in the slightest when it comes to matters of this kind.

After all, this kind of thing is inherently a very serious matter.

You can easily lose your life without even realizing it.

Aragaki Manami understands.

Rather than letting Kasumigaoka Utaha continue to pester him, it's better to let her make the necessary preparations as soon as possible—either treat the supernatural as mere anecdotes and stay away from it! Otherwise, if something really happens, he'll just have to properly collect her body.

"You can't joke about things related to life, so what's your choice?"

"...Do you want me to do something dangerous?" Kasumigaoka Utaha took a step back warily.

Aragaki Manami finally turned around and smiled: "It's not very dangerous. It's just accompanying some reckless young lady to a place. Just think of it as a haunted house adventure."

puff!

A thud sounded as the object landed.

Just as Nakagawa Minoru reached the entrance of his residence, he suddenly collapsed.

Manami Aragaki stepped forward and helped the trembling man to his feet.

He calmly comforted her, "It's alright. You don't need to go with your daughter. Otherwise, we would probably both suffer an even stronger attack from Kayako."

Because the technique for binding Kayako is not perfect, it can easily cause a backlash.

So he stopped provoking Kayako.

Now, don't we have an extra source of support?

boom!

A door opened, accompanied by a shout: "Ren!"

A woman in an office lady uniform hurried in, while two teenage girls peeked in through the doorway.

Aragaki Manami looked up and noticed that one of the girls' clothes looked somewhat familiar.

What is the junior high school uniform of Shuchiin High School?

Chapter 40 Departure from Kasumigaoka! Shiranui and Yasunaga Mei, [No Punishment]

Students of Shuchiin Academy.

Aragaki Manami sighed inwardly, then glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was retreating as if preparing to leave, and couldn't help but find it amusing.

Ten minutes...

A brief exchange.

Manami Aragaki also met two girls—one named Mei Yasunaga, and the other named Iori Shiranui.

The former is the daughter of Minoru Nakagawa and his ex-wife Rumiko Anaga, who is sitting next to him.

The latter.

She is a friend of Yasunaga Mei, and an active idol named Shiranui.

They're just friends who'd do stupid things together.

Aragaki Manami also discovered it.

Shiranui is a character from the anime series "Kaguya-sama: Love Is War," and she is a troubled girl.

She and her friend next to her formed the "Problem Girl Duo".

“I have a general understanding of the situation…” Aragaki Manami did not drink the hot tea placed in front of her.

He simply looked at the two girls who didn't seem particularly frightened and said, "If you two are obedient enough, then the future is promising. Just continue as before. What do you think?"

“Master Aragaki, I’ll do whatever you say.”

"I have no objection either."

Yasunaga Mei and Shiranui Yi responded very obediently one after the other.

The other two adults sitting to the side secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon hearing the answer, Manami Aragaki gave a soft "hmm".

Then she looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha, whose expression had changed several times: "What do you think? Do you want to go to the haunted house? You mean the one on the ceiling?"

"...?!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes widened, and she was speechless for a moment.

Aragaki Manami didn't give her much time to think it over: "After all, if you want to experience something new, you always have to pay a price, just like the two nameless classmates who have already died."

The voice just fell.

The already somewhat oppressive atmosphere suddenly became stiff.

Yasunaga Mei and Shiranui's expressions finally turned to fear, and then they couldn't help but look at the girl who was not much younger than them, their expressions still showing a hint of curiosity.

It was only then, under everyone's gaze, that Kasumigaoka Utaha realized the seriousness of the problem—her desire to understand the truth had led her to get involved in this unrelated supernatural event.

"I, um..."

“If you’re afraid, you shouldn’t even touch it,” Manami Aragaki said directly after seeing Kasumigaoka Utaha hesitate.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression froze, her mood extremely unpleasant, and several images of beating up Aragaki Mana instantly flashed through her mind.

Is it really worth embarrassing her like this?!

Trying to appear natural, she said in a cold tone, "Then why did you bring me here? To belittle and mock me? If so, you've succeeded."

"No, I just think that someone as outstanding as you shouldn't lose your life like some others. So I thought I'd show you what I'm capable of, and give you a sense of awe."

Manami Aragaki spoke in a sincere and earnest tone.

He bears responsibility for how the joke he intended to make turned out this way.

At this moment, he wanted Kasumigaoka Utaha to stay away from danger.

A senior in junior high school is so rare, she can't just die so easily.

If you know you're wrong, admit it.
