Anime Crossover Livestream: The Second Dimension

He didn't actually need to think about that.

His own granddaughter probably thought so from the beginning!

Upon thinking of this, the Grand Elder's face darkened. He had not expected that his granddaughter would be so devoted to him in just over half a year.

But it is precisely for this reason that he can be certain of some of his thoughts.

The perspective shifts back.

Manami Aragaki was already seated and playing pachinko, sometimes winning and sometimes losing.

Because it's a "one-yen machine," you can play for a long time, long enough to wait for your chosen target to reveal more luck.

He just needs to wait patiently.

It wasn't until almost midnight that Aragaki Manami saw three identical numbers.

The pachinko machine suddenly seemed to be injected with adrenaline, using all sorts of sound, light, color, and other effects.

Exciting animations play on the screen, and exhilarating sound effects blare from the speakers... It's incredibly stimulating to the adrenaline.

Manami Aragaki methodically fired the small steel balls.

Small steel balls kept rolling out with a clattering sound...

that's it.

Manami Aragaki managed to obtain over 20 yen, which at least ensures she won't have to worry about making ends meet for now.

He couldn't think of any suitable way to make money.

Earning too much is not appropriate.

Earning too little is useless!

So I decided to take advantage of this good opportunity to make money.

"There's no need to gamble anymore, because it's a waste of time," Manami Aragaki thought to herself.

However, after a few leisurely hours, I did feel much more relaxed.

After all, it was his first time playing pachinko, and he experienced the thrill and pleasure of gambling.

But that's about it.

While casually fiddling with the plastic case containing 18K gold that she had brought as a souvenir, Aragaki Manami caught sight of a familiar izakaya and, as if remembering something, simply stepped inside.

Swoosh!

As soon as the door opened, the weathered-looking owner greeted us, "Welcome."

Manami Aragaki nodded in greeting and asked with a smile, "Boss, can you make takoyaki?"

The shop owner looked puzzled, but still said, "Yes, we happen to have a small machine, but you'll have to wait a little while."

"Thank you for your help."

"I'm perfectly fine."

"Then I'll take twenty portions."

"Your appetite is as good as ever," the owner said with a smile.

Aragaki Manami, who was sitting in the corner, also smiled in response.

When the first serving of takoyaki was handed to him, he thanked the owner and then placed the takoyaki in the far corner.

The boss, whom I glanced at as I turned my head, only blinked briefly, his expression remaining completely indifferent.

Swoosh!

Another door opened, followed by a crisp exclamation: "Oh, it's Mr. Aragaki! What a coincidence—"

Da da da!

“Sit on the other side,” Manami Aragaki said softly, glancing at the stylishly dressed girl.

The girl, who was about to sit in the corner, chuckled and cleverly sat down on the other side of Aragaki Manami.

Chapter 59 Reincarnation and Speculations about People from Two Worlds! Looking for trouble?

"Boss, I'll have a takoyaki too!"

“…Okay.” The boss glanced at the expensive and fashionable young woman, Yasunaga Mei, and said.

After finishing her sentence, Yasunaga Mei ignored the boss and looked at Aragaki Manami, who was still eating, with a grin.

Aragaki Manami's expression remained unchanged, completely unaffected.

"Hey, I came here on purpose to find you."

"..." Aragaki Manami didn't say anything and continued eating.

Seeing that he didn't speak or get angry, Yasunaga Mei simply rested her chin on her hand and stared at him intently.

Swoosh!

There was another sound of a door being opened.

"Boss, one serving of porridge soup, please—why is there a naked little boy here...? It's you!!"

A man in his late twenties, dressed in a gray-brown suit and looking like a thug, took a few steps back in fear.

He is Ken, who has a significant role in "Midnight Diner".

Aragaki Manan thought.

Before he could say anything, Xiao Jian's mouth suddenly opened even wider—and he simply turned and ran!

Only the wooden door, inlaid with translucent glass, moved automatically and slowly to its proper position.

The translucent glass was so cloudy that only a faint shadow could be seen...

"Since you don't like me either, then I won't bother you anymore. You can eat my takoyaki if you don't mind... Boss, keep the change."

A 1,000 yen bill was placed on the table. Yasunaga Mei forced a smile at Aragaki Manami and left!

He left without hesitation after Xiao Jian!

Even Aragaki Manami had to look at this little girl with new respect. Had she finally learned her lesson?

However, he still has another problem to face.

After Yasunaga Mei left, he spoke:

"Sorry, boss."

"It's nothing, I didn't see anything wrong with it." The boss glanced casually at the corner and said nonchalantly.

Aragaki Manami chuckled and didn't say anything more.

After eating several more portions, I packed one to go and left.

It was the portion we didn't eat at the beginning.

"I don't need that much." Suddenly, the shopkeeper stopped Aragaki Manami, looking somewhat embarrassed as he held up the 10,000 yen bill in his hand.

Aragaki Manami said apologetically, "If you don't accept it, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to come again in the future."

"...Then I won't be polite."

"I should be the one apologizing," Manami Aragaki said to the boss, and left without hesitation.

Fortunately, there weren't many customers while he was eating, otherwise he probably would have had to find a more affordable place in the future.

He went straight to the shop, glanced casually at the few men in black suits standing at the entrance of the brothel, and then opened the door and went inside.

The men in black suits suddenly shivered and didn't say a word.

After Aragaki Manami closed the door, they looked at each other in bewilderment...

Not far away.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Jian looked at his team leader, a middle-aged man in a black suit and sunglasses: "Brother, he's really weird... I really saw a little boy next to him just now, and he suddenly disappeared!!"

Kenzaki Ryu, whose identity is the leader of the Onishima Group of the Imajō-kai, trembled almost imperceptibly.

But his expression didn't change at all: "No matter what, as long as it doesn't affect the other brothels, then let's ignore it."

"Yes, it is."

Xiao Jian quickly responded.

He originally didn't believe in such things as ghosts and spirits.

But whenever he met Aragaki Manami, the involuntary, trembling feeling in his body was impossible to hide from his true feelings.

Xiao Jian could only think of one word—run!

The perspective shifts to the other side.

Flames erupted from Aragaki Manami's hands, burning the takoyaki she was holding into dust. She said softly, "It's time to go."

Having said that, a katana measuring three feet three and a half inches appeared in his hand.

Long sword, Ama-no-Murakumo!

As soon as Ama-no-Kusanagi appeared, a hoarse voice rang out: "Give me his power."

Aragaki Manami was slightly taken aback, but still said, "Okay."

"Aren't you going to ask me why?"

"why?"

"...You're a really obedient kid, because he's hovering between the states of 'life' and 'death'," Amazuma explained.

Manami Aragaki said, "Don't hurt him."

Ama Murakumo chuckled.

Then, with a wave of his hand, Manami Aragaki transformed into a seven or eight-year-old boy who floated in the sky.

As the Kusanagi sword in his hand was thrust out, a corner of the shop's interior began to transform into a dark, mysterious, and unfathomable void, and then the surroundings changed instantly!
