Anime Crossover Livestream: The Second Dimension

If Nase Izumi were to mention anything negative about himself, even something slightly suggestive, Kuriyama Mirai would probably immediately become alert. Unfortunately, he's smarter than people think.

Unfortunately, no matter how clever Nase Izumi was, it was useless; the initiative was on his side.

Aragaki Manami could roughly guess what Nase Izumi would do. She probably anticipated Kuriyama Mirai's innocent and kind nature and planned to "move her with emotion and reason."

Especially the last one!

A rare, extreme disgust flashed deep in Manami Aragaki's eyes.

Even if there's nothing wrong with it from the perspective of Nase Izumi, or even from the perspective of humanity, he just can't like it, and even loathes it to the extreme!

No one can remain calm when their interests are harmed.

Mana Aragaki is a selfish person. Even if she saves people, it's only because she has the spare capacity and doesn't want to go through with her conscience. After much deliberation, she just does what she feels like.

However, there's a prerequisite—having the spare capacity!

Nase Izumi, on the other hand, wanted Kuriyama Mirai, whom Aragaki Manami had already identified as her private property, to be sacrificed.

This is blatantly trying to steal from him!

How could he possibly tolerate it?

If he didn't know that killing Nase Izumi, or even destroying the Nase family, might ruin his reputation and make it difficult for him to survive in this world, he wouldn't mind killing him!

But the problems in this world cannot be solved simply by killing.

Even because of his own Phoenix and Hero powers, he still has to carefully consider the impact of his reputation.

"So what do you think?"

"..." Kuriyama Mirai remained silent, still looking at the floor, without raising her head.

Aragaki Manami's thoughts raced as she tried to decipher the girl's current ideas.

Thinking to myself.

Kuriyama's future dream is to become an ordinary girl, but it probably can only be called a dream.

Because of his own "cursed blood".

Manami Aragaki naturally understood this principle, so he didn't intend to help her achieve it. Instead, he planned to let her live an ordinary life as much as possible, while also becoming his assistant.

After all, he can't always work alone, can he?

He also needs an assistant.

In particular, loyalty and competence are essential! Therefore, Kuriyama Mirai was targeted by him from the very first meeting.

After a moment of deep thought, Aragaki Manami simply stopped thinking, because he didn't think he could fully understand a girl's thoughts.

But he knew a very effective method—to completely muddle the girl's mind!

If you can't beat someone at chess, then flip the chessboard over!

"Raise your right hand."

“…No.” Kuriyama Mirai muttered in protest, and pulled her right hand, which was actually wrapped in bandages, back. After thinking for a moment, she curled up and hid her hand in her legs.

Aragaki Manami remained silent, then gently poked Kuriyama Mirai's abdomen with her finger. A gasp of surprise rang out, and Kuriyama Mirai, who had been sprawled on the ground in an unseemly position, immediately jumped up.

Meanwhile, Manami Aragaki gently grasped Mirai Kuriyama's right hand, unwrapped the bandage in her stunned gaze, and squeezed a little bright red blood from the faint lines on her small hand...

Aragaki Manami took it in her hand, glanced at it, and then simply put it in her mouth and swallowed it.

"You you you you you you you you are crazy—" Kuriyama Mirai suddenly shouted, grabbing Aragaki Manami and yelling, tears streaming down her face.

Manami Aragaki frowned, raised her hand, and the trajectory went from top to bottom!

Boom!

Use honorifics with me.

“…Eek.” A faint meow came from Kuriyama Mirai, who was covering her head.

Manami Aragaki gently stroked her fluffy short hair, her gaze towards Mirai Kuriyama strangely unsettling.

Secret passage.

Such domineering and fierce blood, it matches his destiny perfectly...

Chapter 111 Yukino Haruno, Erina Nakiri, and Hisako Shinato! (Assessment)

The fluffy hair feels soft and satisfying to the touch.

Before Kuriyama Mirai could even ask, Aragaki Manami spoke first, saying, "You don't actually think your blood will have an effect on anyone, do you?"

Kuriyama Mirai, whose head was being patted, was completely confused. She looked up slightly at Aragaki Manami and could only catch a glimpse of that emotionless face...

In just a few days, she had gotten used to this face.

But she felt no sense of kinship with her elders; at most, she felt the same way she did with her seniors at school.

Because of the awkwardness of their first meeting, Mirai Kuriyama finds it difficult to avoid thinking about other related matters when facing Manami Aragaki.

Snap! Bang!

A faint, almost imperceptible sound rang out, followed by slightly slow footsteps.

Then, Yukino Yukinoshita appeared again!

She appeared outside the door, carrying a bag in her hand—she looked like she had come back to get something.

Her residence was on the far end, Kuriyama Mirai's residence was in the middle of the corridor, and Aragaki Manami's residence was not far from the elevator.

Therefore, if Yukino Yukinoshita wants to take the elevator, she must pass by the residences of Mirai Kuriyama and Manami Aragaki.

And so, she passed by again.

And through the open door, they saw Aragaki Manami patting Kuriyama Mirai's head.

Yukino Yukinoshita hesitated for a moment, then nodded to Manami Aragaki, who was giving her a subtle smile, and Mirai Kuriyama, who had her head bowed low, before leaving decisively.

She thought to herself.

Let's just ignore it; it seems too complicated.

Just like before, Yukino Yukinoshita left after hearing only one explanation from Manami Aragaki, because there are some things that are indeed not to be overstepped.

Ding-dong! Swish!

The faint sound of the elevator operating could be heard coming from outside the door.

Inside Kuriyama Mirai's residence, Aragaki Manami was still rubbing her head, as if petting a small animal.

“…Your hair will get oily,” Mirai Kuriyama suddenly said.

Aragaki Manami chuckled inwardly, "How realistic."

He then stopped what he was doing and said, "You can ignore what Nase Izumi meant by 'Beyond the Boundary' for now; it's existed for so many years and is still so quiet. But you must understand that Nase Izumi's goal is simply to kill 'Beyond the Boundary.' She might care about your life or death because of her conscience, but you must also understand..."

He paused, then gently lifted Kuriyama Mirai's fair chin, preventing the girl from escaping: "If Nase Izumi believes that sacrificing yourself will allow you to kill 'Beyond the Boundary,' she can make you do it by any means necessary."

Kuriyama Mirai, whose chin was lifted by Aragaki Manami, did not resist. She simply turned her face away and closed her eyes, pretending to be dead like a kitten.

It's probably like the kitten of a friend that Aragaki Manami used to know. Whenever it makes a mistake and gets caught, it doesn't move or resist. In short, it's like the most innocent kitten in the world.

Who knows, Kuriyama Mirai might be the reincarnation of that kitten.

Playing dead is a good option.

Looking at Kuriyama Mirai's small body and tender face, Aragaki Manami, who felt somewhat guilty about handling her like this, also felt an indescribable thrill.

He rarely showed interest in bullying the weak.

After thinking for a moment, he leaned close to Kuriyama Mirai's ear and slowly said, "So, how did you answer Nase Izumi's request?"

A masculine aura, accompanied by hot breath, entered Kuriyama Mirai's small ear. Kuriyama Mirai first felt an itch in her ear, and then her whole body tensed up to the point of petrification—her pale golden eyes suddenly opened wide! There was fear and embarrassment in them!

Extreme mood swings!

Manami Aragaki smiled and said, "Since you're not going to say anything, then listen to me."

"Ahhhh-"

The only response from Aragaki Manami was a piercing scream that cut through the night.

Kuriyama Mirai finally reacted, shoved Aragaki Manami aside, and waved her little hands like wings as she ran frantically and erratically into the room.

dong dong dong...

After a series of hurried footsteps, the girl had naturally disappeared.

"I want to lick it again," Manami Aragaki said with a smile.

He felt a great unease within him.

For a moment, I thought that body shape didn't really matter, as long as I had a good personality, that was enough.

Then, he chuckled again and closed the door.

Get ready for a big battle.

I just hope this place doesn't turn into prehistoric times.

The perspective shifts to the other side.

Yukino accompanied her older sister Haruno to a place inhabited by various so-called "invasive species".

As for why it arrives at night?

That's because a few troublesome plants go into a dormant state, while other nocturnal creatures are no threat compared to them.

"The quality of these bacon leaves is among the best I've ever seen!"

A young girl with beautiful long blonde hair and a princess-like demeanor finally couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The composure on her delicate face finally crumbled completely under the natural fat that rivaled that of top-grade beef.

"Miss Erina, please let me have a taste too." The red-haired girl next to the blonde girl said cautiously, her face slightly flushed as she took a small bite of a leaf that looked like beef from the blonde girl's hand, and froze instantly!

She looked utterly astonished and incredulous.

Seeing this scene, Hino felt an unprecedented joy in her heart!

The blonde girl in front of them, Erina Nakiri, the successor to the Nakiri family, and her assistant, Hisako Shinto, a red-haired girl... their performance alone was enough to demonstrate just how much benefit their family controlled!
