Anime Crossover Livestream: The Second Dimension

Manami Aragaki never believed that what she did was absolutely right.

If he discovers a mistake, he will try his best to correct it—that's called growth.

Upon hearing the explanation, Kasumigaoka Utaha coughed lightly and turned her head slightly away.

Seemingly unable to bear the praise she received from Manami Aragaki in front of so many people, her voice softened, "...I understand, I was rude, I'll leave immediately."

Manami Aragaki was not surprised by Kasumigaoka Utaha's decision, and simply handed her a triangularly wrapped talisman.

He added, "Get a good night's sleep."

"Well, I don't have any money."

"This is an apology for taking the joke too far."

“…Then I won’t be polite.” Kasumigaoka Utaha finally showed a faint smile, thinking to herself, “Adults apologize to children too?”

After receiving it, she didn't ask any further questions. She nodded apologetically to the others, said goodbye, and walked out the door.

Seeing this, Aragaki Manami's heart stirred slightly, and without further delay, she looked at Yasunaga Mei and Shiranui Yi.

He said, "The situation isn't too serious yet. You should prepare yourselves mentally."

He then looked at Minoru Nakagawa: "Come on, take us there."

Just one sentence was enough to change everyone's expression—this was no joke!

"Mr. Aragaki..."

"Excuse my bluntness, Director Nakagawa. You need to understand one thing: when you called, I was still investigating Kayako's case. Time was indeed very tight, and I didn't have time to deal with anything else."

“…I’m so sorry!” Nakagawa Minoru bowed his head deeply, his voice very loud.

Aragaki Manami nodded politely and said nothing more.

His affability towards Kasumigaoka Utaha doesn't mean he's affable towards everyone else.

It's impossible for him to treat everyone equally.

……

soon.

Minoru Nakagawa then drove Aragaki Manami and the others to their destination, which was near Kayako's residence.

"Go to the first room on the second floor, open the corner closet door, then pull up the top sliding door, turn on the flashlight, and when you see a female corpse, you can come back."

"You...aren't you coming along?" Yasunaga Mei, who had been behaving very obediently, asked incredulously, her voice trembling.

Even Shiranui, who had initially remained calm, panicked.

Manami Aragaki raised his hand to stop Minoru Nakagawa and his ex-wife from speaking: "If you want to live, do as I say. Otherwise, you'll have to find another job."

"I will now cast a protective spell on you for ten minutes. Time is limited, so don't dawdle."

"By the way, the reason I don't go in is that if either I or Mr. Nakagawa go in, Kayako will instantly lose control."

"At that time, I, the crew members who entered the house before, and all of you will become targets, so... you'd better figure it out yourselves."

Manami Aragaki explained the matter clearly and concisely.

He was telling the truth.

He had previously reinforced the "concept" of Kayako herself.

Today, it can be regarded as a folk tale or legend.

As her abilities are enhanced, she is also bound by rules, and she will act according to a specific trajectory.

In Western stories.

Offenders who violate the ban will be subject to various punishments, the most common being death.

Meanwhile, in the East, in Japan...

Offenders will generally receive no punishment or no consequences.

The most widely circulated myth is that in the Kojiki, Hitotomi ignored his wife Toyotama's order to work and secretly watched her give birth, and in the end, his wife ran away.

Or perhaps it's the story of "The Crane Wife" that Kasumigaoka Utaha mentioned before, where the husband ignores his wife's prohibition and secretly watches her weave cloth, and in the end, the wife transforms into a crane and escapes...

Those who violate the prohibition have always received no punishment.

Well now.

What Yasunaga Mei and Shiranui Yi are trying to do is similar to obtain "non-punishment".

Chapter 41 The End of the Brat's Road! Shuchiin Academy High School, Girl

The air fell silent for a moment.

As Aragaki Manami finished speaking, the other four people had different expressions.

The atmosphere in the live stream room also became more hostile at this point.

[Well done! Brilliant! Aragaki-sensei! That's exactly how it should be!]

【The end of the naughty child! Wonderful! Wonderful! 】

[It's true what they say about being born into a wealthy and powerful family; even if you make a mistake, there's always a way out. Ha!]

What about the others? Aren't there other people? Are we just going to leave them alone? How heartless!

[I hope these two fail to complete their mission and die like the previous two.]

Yingzhou. Yuzuki touched her lips with her finger: "Well, I thought being cute enough would be enough to get forgiven."

But that's good, it puts her mind at ease.

These two playful kids can't just be given a couple of slaps on the butt and that's it.

Speaking of which... Mana Aragaki's way of doing things is just so to her liking, isn't it?

The Enlightened Empire.

Mo Qingxian looked at the book while glancing at Aragaki Manami on the screen, who didn't seem to be lying, nodding and making "oh oh" sounds in response.

Indeed, she still needs to learn more about her husband's preferences.

The Tang Dynasty.

Princess Chang Le, who was still sleeping with her younger sister, frowned.

"I'm so afraid that Master Aragaki will look at Jiko with that face..."

“As long as Sizi doesn’t do anything wrong, Master Xinyuan won’t show such an expression.” Princess Changle gently stroked her sister’s head and said softly, but in her heart, she was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

The perspective shifts back.

Aragaki Manami coldly observed the two girls whose expressions began to show fear and apprehension.

He never jokes when it comes to serious matters.

Even though Kasumigaoka Utaha had said she was going, he wasn't joking; in fact, he was already prepared.

As for Yasunaga Mei and Shiranui Iori...

He actually didn't have any particular feelings of liking or disliking towards them.

Because he generally keeps his distance from such reckless people and ignores them—knowing there's real danger, yet treating it like a joke? At least, Kasumigaoka Utaha knew to slip away after confirming the facts.

"You can't speak when you go there, but I guess you'll be unable to resist screaming, so I'll shut you up for now."

Speaking slowly and deliberately, Aragaki Manami raised his right hand and made a sword-like gesture, making a sweeping motion in the air towards Yasunaga Mei and Shiranui Yi!

The two girls immediately shut their lips!

A visible fear began to appear in their eyes.

Minoru Nakagawa and his ex-wife wanted to say something, but they kept quiet under Manami Aragaki's indifferent gaze...

"I will cast another spell on you, which will only last for ten minutes. That should be enough. Just think of it as a different kind of haunted house adventure."

Having said that, he pointed his sword and made another slash!

A faint starlight seemed to flash and instantly attach itself to Yasunaga Mei and Shiranui.

Aragaki Manami said softly, "From now on, you only have ten minutes. No one can help you, and you have no way out."

After saying that, he simply walked towards home.

Upon witnessing this scene, Yasunaga Mei and Shiranui only paused for a moment, exchanged a glance, and immediately began running towards Kayako's residence...

"Mr. Aragaki——"

“I have my own business to attend to. You must not rush in under any circumstances, otherwise the consequences will affect everyone who came before, even your ex-wife. As for me, it’s fine, because I can protect myself.”

Mana Aragaki casually tossed out a comment and then ignored it.

For him.

These haunted house adventures and reckless acts of courting death are a pleasant surprise.

Because of the loss of two lives, he could vaguely sense that Kayako herself was beginning to be strengthened in the direction of folk tales and legends, being strengthened and also bound.

In this way...

He could easily acquire Kayako's "concepts" and "traits" without even having to fight.

Even this time, the actions of the two girls could bring him benefits—strengthening Kayako! Then the [Oni Tan] attached to her face was absorbed like a parasite.

“It’s like a sacrifice,” Manami Aragaki thought.

They then ate at an izakaya not far from Kayako's residence.

It's impossible to say whether someone is dead or alive.

That was just pushing two stubborn and arrogant girls to their limits.

After all, a dead person can cause a lot of trouble. If he hadn't caused him any trouble, he wouldn't have bothered to say a single word.

Besides, the compensation offered by Nakagawa Minoru was quite generous; otherwise, his most basic action would have been to "leave someone in distress unattended."

Seven minutes later.

Manami Aragaki, who was eating, looked up as if she sensed something, her calm gaze seemingly penetrating through countless mediums.
