Anime Crossover Livestream: The Second Dimension

From small items like glass and plastic to signs, telephone booths, metal blocks, and sheet metal, the violent and destructive nature of the wind is clearly revealed.

Manami Aragaki forged ahead, sweeping away all obstacles in her path.

The team maintained Aragaki Manami at the very front.

Nakano Maruo, who was carrying the old man on his back, came second.

Finally, there are Nino and Miku holding hands, and Yotsuba and Itsuki hiding behind them, one hand pulling their raincoats and the other holding their hands.

The team moved forward in a fairly orderly manner.

"Is he alright...? Did he recover from his weakness after treating Grandpa? Could he have just been holding on?" Nino observed the surroundings as she walked forward, her gaze unconsciously drifting towards Aragaki Manami.

He was stunned to find that he could unleash such astonishing power almost instantly, but he still managed to maintain a basic level of composure.

She resisted looking, trying to focus her attention on protecting her sisters.

But the wind around her, which wasn't getting much stronger, made her focus her attention back on Manami Aragaki—"He did it!"

What's wrong with this world?!

Mr. Aragaki, he, he... he's so handsome!!!

"Aragaki... is he alright? Is he really okay?" Miku was just as worried. Noticing that the wind around her was gradually weakening while the environment further away was still being battered by the gale, she realized that it must have been Aragaki Manami who did it.

Although she didn't understand what was going on, she believed that she had no relation to Manami Aragaki...

"Mr. Aragaki..."

Yotsuba's eyes were almost welling up with tears; he hadn't expected Aragaki Manami to be able to do something like this.

Just as Miku was thinking at that moment.

As for May... she felt that Manami Aragaki's "kindness" was too heavy, from giving her meat buns, to teaching her to study, healing her grandfather, and now bringing her whole family to the shelter...

"What...what should I do..."

As the most normal of the five Nakano sisters, her sense of shame and gratitude is arguably the closest to that of ordinary people.

I was completely bewildered by such a great "favor"!

She couldn't find any way to repay him...

Even so, May didn't hold everyone back; she was still panting and running forward.

As for Aragaki Shinami.

He wasn't in the mood to think about all that right now.

After assessing the distance to the shelter and the condition of the Nakano family, they slowed down.

After all, even when you're fighting desperately, you need to catch your breath, right?

But soon, Aragaki Manami's heart skipped a beat.

His tone quickened: "Run! Run with all your might! We're still over 400 meters from the shelter!"

Upon hearing this, the group of people, who were already exhausted, did not hesitate at all and instantly increased their speed to the maximum.

At one point, a group of people felt that the wind was no longer a resistance, but rather an aid.

But no one had time to think about it!

After discovering that his four daughters were all fine, Nakano Maruo, who was carrying the old man on his back, focused most of his attention on escaping with the old man on his back, since a person's energy is limited.

Meanwhile, Nino, Miku, Yotsuba, and Itsuki also strive not to become a burden.

Whoosh whoosh~~

A tiny, barely visible vortex had formed at some unknown time and was hurtling towards them at an incredible speed.

It was a scene like the end of the world!

Uwa, tall trees, and vehicles tumble and tumble like toys beneath a tilted funnel several stories high!

Dust filled the air!

It contrasts sharply with the ever-moving dark clouds in the sky!

They were getting closer and closer to Aragaki Manami, the Nakano family, and others...

"One hundred meters to go!"

Manami Aragaki frowned, then thrust his palm diagonally downwards and forwards, instantly creating a large enough hole in the ground in front of him. He immediately said, "Don't hesitate, jump down!"

Before the Nakano family could respond, Nakano Maruo, who was already exhausted but still running with sheer willpower, quickly jumped into the hole, changing from carrying the old man on his back to holding him horizontally.

Aragaki Manami flicked her fingers, and a strange wind, as gentle as a blanket, pulled the two of them close, preventing them from being harmed.

"Nino! Miku! Yotsuba! Itsuki!"

Manami Aragaki then looked at the four girls, her expression calm, but she spoke very quickly.

The four girls who were called out were terrified but obediently jumped down in turn... all of them landed safely in the underground shelter.

The safety of this shelter is well guaranteed because it is located near where officials conduct their business.

When the last person, May, jumped, Manami Aragaki casually said, "I'm going to find something. I'll see you all later."

As he spoke, he used one hand to grab a huge rock and slam it shut over the cave entrance...

With a gentle stomp, the hole was completely sealed and sturdy.

What Aragaki Manami has to face is simply an ever-growing tornado.

"It's just a small snack."

Because solar activity has caused the solar wind and geomagnetic storms to change direction and strengthen the typhoon, his harvest this time should be very fruitful.

The problem is... I don't know if I can swallow it all.

Because of its arrival here, the wind has acquired a strong evil nature due to legend, and because it hasn't rained yet, it hasn't transformed into a storm... making it difficult to absorb.

But it looks like it will happen soon.

After Aragaki Manami, whose facial features were heightened to their extreme, sensed that no one was watching, the power of wind within the Phoenix began to surge forth…

Not only Susanoo is the god of wind.

The phoenix is ​​also the god of wind!

Compared to the latter, the former must contain a lot of evil characteristics!

Ancient.

The characters “风” and “凤” are interchangeable, and their traditional Chinese characters are “風” and “鳯” respectively.

One is an insect, the other is a bird!

In ancient times, "虫" was a general term for all animals, so "虫" and "鸟" were interchangeable.

The connection with the phoenix is ​​mainly reflected in the sound "F-F-" that insects and birds make in the air!

Specifically, it can be read as "Feng"!

Because they share the same pronunciation, "wind" also became a source of fusion for "phoenix".

Furthermore, the Zuo Zhuan states, "The phoenix knows the seasons, hence the name of the official in charge of calendars." Here, "knowing the seasons" refers to "knowing the wind," which involves observing the timing, size, and force of monsoons.

The Phoenix has even become the primary and secondary element alongside the Wind!

During the Han Dynasty, many silk manuscripts recorded the worship of the god of "great wind," who could also be called the god of storms, and the object of worship was a bird, which was classified as the phoenix...

Various stories and legends have strengthened the connection between the two.

The phoenix and the wind are absolutely inseparable!

“So, the divinity of Susanoo really does resonate with me quite a bit,” Aragaki Manami thought to himself.

Once he has completely absorbed most of Susanoo's divinity, then a corner of the underworld will probably be able to be slowly pried open...

But it seems really early to say all this.

"The gentle south wind can soothe the people's anger." Looking up as the raging force drew ever closer, Aragaki Manami softly recited, her unique words transforming into a gentle, warm breeze that seemed easily perceptible and visible.

Ancient times!

Emperor Shun, who was the incarnation of a phoenix, once played the five-stringed zither and sang a song called "South Wind".

What Aragaki Manami was referring to was the song of Emperor Shun—"How gentle and warm the south wind is! The people's resentment can be relieved!"

Ancient songs, after many years, have acquired a profound and immeasurable power.

Manami Aragaki used a portion of the wind power from the Phoenix to instantly dissolve the small, crooked funnel-shaped tornado that was about to devour him, leaving it with very little destructive power...

After all, disappearing all at once is quite conspicuous.

Manami Aragaki glanced at the large hole he had filled in, then used the power of [Wind] to become invisible again, flying at an extremely fast speed to another location.

He wanted to see if he could completely usurp the [storm]...

Chapter 74 Ama no Kusanagi and Usurpation [Before the Storm]

Rumble! Rumble...

It sounded like the faint gurgling of a giant beast's stomach.

That was the sound of a storm sweeping through.

Nino, Miku, Yotsuba, and Itsuki stared blankly at the filled-in area, their movements perfectly synchronized. What was once a large hole was now completely unrecognizable.

Aragaki Manami, who had escorted the family all the way to this shelter, casually left a message saying she was going to find something, thus blocking their path to survival.

"What could you possibly find in such a huge tornado..." Nino said, her pink lips pressed tightly together as if she were suppressing something.

She, who used to be most particular about her makeup, forgot all about it because of the tsunami warning and the terror of the storm...

When a crisis is imminent, few people will care about such trivial matters.

Now, she's in no mood to care either.

"...He'll be fine, because he's very confident."

Miku continued calmly.

Nino couldn't help but glance at her, muttering to herself, "Then why are you looking up with me?"
