Anime Crossover Livestream: The Second Dimension

"...Let's drink it when we get back."

At one moment, May's fair neck made a movement—the movement of swallowing saliva.

Nino, who also noticed this little action, grinned mischievously, took a sip of her milk tea, and even chewed on it. "These 'pearls' are so chewy! They're made of tapioca flour and brown sugar~"

Gurgle.

May clutched her stomach and glared angrily at Nino. How could that be so mean!

Just as Nino was about to continue speaking, her eyes locked onto another direction, and she suddenly waved and raised her voice: "Hey! Miku~ Yotsuba~~"

Miku? Yotsuba?

May looked over and immediately saw her two other older sisters.

Soon, the four sisters went home together.

The rather outgoing Nino looked at May with a playful smile: "How was your day at the library?"

"I learned a lot! I learned so much!"

May's tone was anxious yet tinged with a hint of pride.

It was the first time she had learned so much, and she couldn't help but feel proud.

"Well," Nino said with a strange expression, "is that so?"

May immediately noticed Nino's disbelief and was a little annoyed: "It's true! I met a very knowledgeable person in the library. He would sometimes teach me how to do problems while I was reading."

Nino immediately became wary: "Is it a man?"

May rolled her eyes: "Don't overthink it. That gentleman was actually reading the whole time... It seems like it was because I looked so confused... Ugh! I'm so shameless!! Waaah..."

As she was talking, May finally realized what was happening and suddenly covered her face with her hands, looking embarrassed.

Nino scratched her face, unsure how to respond.

In a daze, she could already picture a scene—her younger sister, May, holding a pen with a conflicted expression, not knowing where to start…and a man next to her noticing and helplessly going to help.

"He's been researching local customs and culture, and even reading some history books. He must be looking up some information, sob sob, I'm so mean..."

"History books?" Miku, who had been mostly silent, suddenly asked.

With tears welling up in her eyes, May lowered her head and sobbed, "It seems to be the history of the Warring States period and the Meiji period... But he is really amazing. He can make people understand even the most difficult questions in no time."

Yotsuba, who hadn't said much either, paused for a moment, as if something was stirring in her heart.

That seemed to be hope.

No matter how difficult the question... it can be understood in an instant...

Even if someone is stupid, it's understandable, and you can learn from it...

Chapter 67 Overview of the Legend! Meeting with Nino, Miku, Yotsuba, and Itsuki!

Another day has passed.

Instead of going to the library, Manami Aragaki took a leisurely stroll along the nearby seaside promenade.

The sea breeze is much weaker than usual today.

It's as intoxicating as the gentle breeze of early spring.

This is a scene that is rarely seen under normal circumstances.

Tourists who came specifically for this place, especially couples, were overjoyed and happily showered the surrounding area with their affection.

Manami Aragaki naturally ignored all of that, focusing solely on the surrounding scenery.

The waves, gentler than usual, lapped softly against the large rocks, and the broken spray slowly fell, shimmering and sparkling in the warm sunlight for a moment.

The sea, which had been so easily angered before, suddenly became much happier.

The sea is like a woman.

Moods really do change in an instant.

"It seems that the legends here use the storm 'Susanoo' as a metaphor for Oda Nobunaga, who was recently deified by Emperor Meiji, or even Emperor Meiji himself."

"After successfully overthrowing the shogunate, Emperor Meiji regained imperial power and began a strategy of foreign expansion, which naturally included recruiting soldiers."

"The people here are very resistant to this and have put forward a series of resistance measures."

In the end, victory was achieved.

And this legend, which transcends the category of "folk tales," has also spread.

Among them, Oda Nobunaga, Susanoo, and even Emperor Meiji all share a common element in a certain respect—war!

but.

Aragaki Manami's main characteristic is that he usurps Susanoo's traits.

Therefore, the study naturally focuses on "Susanoo".

"The 'Susanoo' of this land's legend is equivalent to an evil god who committed acts of blasphemy and destruction in Takamagahara, and he suffered the same fate: being driven away and forced to wander."

"In essence, Susanoo is an evil god, therefore its nature is [evil]."

"The result is what the ancient book 'Kojiki' records: 'All the demons of the world unleashed themselves,' and all the evil spirits and monsters of the world surged forth, committing all sorts of evil deeds! It has a destructive nature."

In general.

"Susanoo" is indeed a negative symbol.

In fact, the power displayed by this "Susanoo" is not its pure "storm" power, but rather a "storm"...

This shows that the legendary "Susanoo"... was not very powerful.

in the end!

The purest essence of Susanoo is that he is the son of the Storm God.

With more rain, the area seems wider, but it also means that the destructive power of the storm is distributed among the rain.

"The usurpation is the usurpation of the [Storm]'s characteristics. Because it's close to mythology, its power might already be worthy of being called 'divinity,' but due to the limited scope of its spread, it's at most a shattered divine essence."

"Given my current physical condition, ordinary 'conceptual' power is sufficient. A shattered divine spark is very likely unsuitable for me, but who would want something inferior when given a better option?"

"At the same time, if it's a usurpation..."

Aragaki Manami looked at the sun hanging in the sky with a strange feeling in her heart.

Through its own Phoenix, it can clearly sense the rapid formation and disappearance of sunspots.

"Solar activity has been quite intense this year, and a geomagnetic storm is imminent. The solar wind generated by the storm will impact Earth, causing drastic changes in atmospheric circulation..."

Aragaki Manami suddenly lowered her head and stopped looking up at the sky, with great effort.

I secretly decided to look at the satellite cloud images instead.

"Times have changed, sir." Someone seemed to whisper these words in his ear.

Manami Aragaki thought about it and agreed that it made perfect sense.

I promptly inquired about the location of the Meteorological Agency, intending to take a look. Hmm? It seems there might be another way.

at the same time.

On the other side, however, an extremely awkward, suffocatingly awkward scene unfolded—

In May, Nino, who was following her, was discovered.

Yotsuba, however, ran into Miku at the library.

Finally... the four girls met at the door, and the sisters were just one flower away from being complete!

"I said, are you trying to become a potential criminal?" May said angrily to Nino.

Nino's gaze darted around: "It's normal to bump into someone in the library, isn't it?"

May was even angrier: "You never read a book at all!"

Miku and Yotsuba were planning to leave, but how could that be possible?

Nino absolutely refuses to share the blame alone!

So he immediately said, "Miku, Yotsuba! You're also concerned about May's safety, right?"

Miku x Yotsuba: "...?!"

stare!

May also cast her resentful gaze at her two older sisters.

Even though she's the youngest, we were all born on the same day!

"...I came here to read history books."

"I...I...I..."

“Yotsuba, you’d better stop lying,” Nino immediately seized on Yotsuba and used her skill “Relentless Pursuit” on her. “I know you still care about May!”

Four-Leaf looked hesitant and couldn't say anything for a moment.

"Well, since we've all gathered together, let's go to the hottest bubble tea shop and get some bubble tea~" Nino suddenly suggested.

May pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

Miku frowned at this point: "Do you have matcha-flavored milk tea?"

“Yes, we have them all,” Nino replied immediately.

Then, he grabbed Miku and Yotsuba's hands and headed towards the bubble tea shop, leaving May with no choice but to follow.

Then... the four of them lined up.

Nino: "Because the milk tea tastes really good, the business is booming."

May: "I want to study."

Miku: "I'm leaving because the matcha doesn't taste good."

Yotsuba: "I want to exercise."

Nino, who was the first to form a group to drink milk tea, felt that her "older sister's authority" had been greatly challenged, so she snorted and crossed her arms.
