Anime Crossover Livestream: The Second Dimension

"Almost done." Aragaki Manami raised her hand and gently wiped the edge of the pressure cooker, and some cloudy foam disappeared instantly.

Then put the lid back on.

You're done!

Without any hesitation, Manami Aragaki carried the pressure cooker out with both hands.

The vast majority of viewers watching the live stream were completely bewildered!

They almost all assumed that Aragaki Manami would sleep soundly until dawn after taking that pill with some unknown effect, because Aragaki Manami always did that when she went to sleep.

Strangely, he got up, took out various things from his body, and even started cooking soup??

But even so.

Even more surprising things continued to happen—

ding dong~~

Arriving at his neighbor's door, Aragaki Manami wondered to himself that he had never imagined he would become a so-called "true fragrance monster".

While I was sleeping soundly, I sensed a faint aura of death.

Using my own abilities to pinpoint the direction of the deathly aura, I found it was near my neighbor's house. And there was only one familiar life force; the other two were nowhere to be seen?

Aragaki Manami was unaware of the situation; all he knew was that if things continued this way, about one person nearby would die.

She's that polite girl who greets you every time you bump into her.

It's not good when a perfectly healthy person dies, especially someone you know well.

So it's quite normal for him to do that.

Suddenly, Aragaki Manami felt a gaze upon her—it was from the cat's eye.

He suppressed his inner unease, calmly opened the pressure cooker, and thick steam rose up, instantly obscuring his face.

"I've made too much chicken soup."

……

……

P.S.: Sorry for the lateness, I'll make up for it with three chapters later.

Chapter 52 The Age of Looks? An Analysis by a Tang Dynasty Princess

【……Well?】

[Liar! This isn't about how much motivational talk was made; you haven't even had a single drop!]

At this very moment, I have seen a man who lies without even blinking.

Dear readers, please be patient; there must be something fishy about this!

The moment the lid was lifted, viewers from both worlds began a frenzied analysis and discussion.

As the much-anticipated Manami Aragaki actually didn't have to wait too long.

With a click, the door opened.

The pretty girl looked much paler than when I last saw her, but Aragaki Manami seemed oblivious and spoke first: "I have some chicken soup that is quite nourishing, please try it."

"This……"

"I suddenly felt like cooking some chicken soup to practice. It's not really anything special, and it tastes pretty good. I think my sense of taste is similar to that of an average person."

“…Thank you.” The girl didn’t refuse again and bowed.

After all, Manami Aragaki had been quite blunt in her words.

“This is just a small token of my appreciation,” Manami Aragaki said, then looked directly into the girl’s eyes. “If you don’t mind, please let me help you carry it inside.”

The girl looked a little dazed after hearing this, but still mechanically said, "...Thank you."

After that, nothing unexpected happened.

Manami Aragaki said "Excuse me," took off her shoes, went inside, and placed the pressure cooker on the table.

He loosened the pot lid slightly, said "Goodbye" again, and turned to leave decisively.

The entire process was efficient and to the point.

"No need to deliver it, just have the soup." Manami Aragaki waved to the girl following him. "You can return the pot later, because I'm not in a hurry to use it."

bump.

A barely perceptible sound of a door closing jolted the slightly bewildered girl back to her senses.

The already somewhat bewildered mood seemed to be lifted by the refreshing aroma.

The girl looked at the slightly loosened pot lid and glimpsed the milky white soup glistening under the light through the crack. "...It smells so good."

The perspective shifts to the other side.

Back at her residence, Manami Aragaki rubbed her temples, thinking to herself, "I can't just stand by and do nothing when someone I know is about to die, can I?"

However, a thought flashed through his mind—if he were a man, would he go to save her? If the woman were too ugly, would he still go to save her?

This seems to be a question worth considering.

But he was only 20 years old and couldn't think about such profound questions.

Here, he's only just come of age.

If you go to university, the most you can do is get in touch with society through various social practices, internships, and part-time jobs.

If you lack mental resilience, you can easily fall into social anxiety, and your life will just pass by like that, becoming a NEET and eventually dying on your own.

Aragaki Manami, lost in thought, lay back down on the bed and pulled the covers over herself...

go to bed.

If I can't think of it, I won't think about it anymore.

The Tang Dynasty. Even at night, the empire was brightly lit. Chang'an, the capital city of the empire, had long since invented electric lights, and there was no such thing as a curfew.

In a restaurant.

A huge screen, resembling a performance stage, clearly reflected Mana Aragaki herself.

Princess Gaoyang stared blankly at Aragaki Manami's every move from beginning to end, her wine cup hovering in mid-air, as if she had been "frozen in time".

She truly never imagined that this man, whom people from another world described as a cultivator, a magician, or an Onmyoji... would do such a thing.

It's fair to say that you really can't use their world's way of thinking to observe and study Aragaki Manami.

"If I'm not mistaken, they should be rescuing this girl who is reasonably good-looking."

"I didn't expect his temperament to be so bad."

"However, even so, it won't be easy for Father to make him his son-in-law."

Princess Gaoyang, having taken a more detached view of life, became much more rational.

At least, it's a world of difference compared to before.

In addition, bombarded with all sorts of trendy information from people in another world, her personality gradually became more introverted.

Often, she prefers to view things from an observer's perspective.

how to say.

The more I watch, the more I like Manami Aragaki, a man whose personality is actually quite interesting.

I don't know why this man doesn't follow the rule that people from other worlds often say: "If you travel to the Tang Dynasty, you must marry a princess."

But you can understand it if you think about it for a moment.

“How could such a man be willing to be easily bound?” Princess Gaoyang chuckled softly before putting the wine in her hand into her mouth.

Anyway, if Aragaki Manami were her brother-in-law or sister's husband, she would probably try her best to get close to him no matter what.

……

One night passed.

When Aragaki Manami woke up, she was only in a daze for half a minute before she came to her senses.

He turned his head to look in a certain direction, his dark eyes remaining calm and still.

"Compared to my state before leaving last night, it's not much better, but at least the inspirational words were somewhat helpful, otherwise it would probably be even worse."

"Thinking back to yesterday's problem, I feel it's still because this girl is quite cute."

"But in this state, it would be difficult for her to get anything done. Her aura is too weak, so she should be taken care of. But if she continues to help, will she develop feelings for me?"

Manami Aragaki had to admit a fact.

Even though he tried his best to suppress the power of the Phoenix, it was to no avail, because the charm bonus was still there, and he was indeed quite good-looking...

Therefore, his thought just now was not narcissism.

But seeing the weak point in the aura slowly moving towards a certain place, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Should we help someone to the very end?

No, no, it's just that I can't get over that psychological hurdle.

If he were a thousand years old, I wonder if he would have as many thoughts as he does now.

boom.

boom!

There were two almost simultaneous sounds of doors opening.

As soon as Aragaki Manami opened the door, she looked towards the other open door and her gaze met the girl's.

Those were eyes filled with weariness and pain.

"Good morning."

"Good morning, Mr. Aragaki."

“Okay, sure.” Aragaki Manami wasn’t surprised that her surname was known, since it was written on the house number.
