Crossover Anime: Offering Myself as a Sacrifice to the Sword? I Choose to Be the Great Demon King

Let her hug him then. Mo Li won't lose anything anyway. Consider it a thank you for her leniency last time.

The commercial street was lined with banners all related to the Qixi Festival, stretching as far as the eye could see.

There weren't too many people passing by; most of them were couples strolling around. Among them, Mo Li and Kuang San attracted the most attention. A handsome man and a beautiful woman are eye-catching wherever they go.

Kurumi seemed to enjoy the amazed looks from passersby, her face beaming with smiles, looking especially cheerful in the sunlight.

"Welcome, welcome! This is a limited-edition bamboo leaf cake for Qixi Festival!"

"Mo Li Jun..."

Kurumi shook Mo Li's arm, and Mo Li quickly took out money to pay.

The freshly baked cake was shaped like a bamboo leaf, and you could faintly smell a milky aroma.

Kurumi took a small bite of the cake and made a "mmm" sound, which reminded Mo Li of a certain "mmm monster".

"Oh, Mo Lijun, won't you try some? It's delicious!"

"I don't need it, I can't eat this kind of sweet."

"How can this be? Mo Lijun must try it! Here you go!"

Kurumi handed the half-eaten cake to Mo Li, clearly wanting him to continue eating from there.

Mo Li sighed. Even on a date, Kurumi still couldn't resist teasing him.

Following the spot where Kurumi had bitten, Mo Li also took a small bite. The milky aroma was irresistible, and the food was soft and fluffy.

The two then bought many limited-edition Qixi Festival items, such as Milky Way shaved ice and Weaver Girl cotton candy.

For a moment, Mo Li did indeed feel the joy of dating Kurumi.

Without any fighting, the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere brought Mo Li a very soothing feeling.

Kurumi dragged Mo Li to the planetarium, sat inside, and saw a projector telling the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

"Mo Li Jun, the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd are separated by the Milky Way and are only allowed to meet once a year."

"Yes, that's right. What's wrong?"

"However, if it rains on July 7th, we will lose even this once-a-year opportunity."

"That's a saying, but it usually doesn't rain!"

Mo Li found it strange; when did Kurumi become so sentimental? This was unlike her usual self.

Kurumi, still staring at the scene before her, slowly said:

"If, and I mean if, it rains on July 7th for many years in a row, and they can't meet, will they still miss each other?"

"Time is very considerate; even the sorrow of being deprived of the once-a-year reunion will eventually be healed. Time is also incredibly cruel; even the love between two people that promises to be together forever will eventually turn to dust."

Such a profound and inexplicable topic left Mo Li at a loss for words.

However, Mo Li quickly gave his answer:

"If I were the Cowherd, I would definitely break these so-called restrictions. Nothing, such as only being able to meet once a year or the Milky Way separating us, could stop me from running towards the one I love."

"Oh my, that's quite an unexpected answer, Mo Li Jun."

"Perhaps it's my personality, but I just don't want to suffer the torment of fate anymore. Bullshit about destiny! I'm going to show them that I am the master of my own destiny!"

A fierce glint appeared in Mo Li's eyes. He hated the hero and the self-righteous goddess.

Kurumi didn't understand why Mo Li was reacting so strongly all of a sudden. Being considerate, she didn't ask any further questions, but simply held Mo Li's hand and said with a worried expression:

"Oh dear, if they are Mo Lijun's enemies, I will kill them without hesitation."

Mo Li concealed the hatred in his eyes deep within. He was still too weak. Although he could crush most of the strong in this world, in this other world, he was just a demon king who had not yet grown up.

He pulled Kurumi out of the planetarium; the atmosphere there was just too oppressive.

The two went outside, and Mo Li breathed a sigh of relief, extending his hand to Kurumi and saying:

"Is there anywhere else you'd like to go next?"

"That's true. I want to write a short note. I heard that if you write your wish down and tie it to a small bamboo, it will come true."

"Sure, there should be short-term visas available in the shopping street, shall we go check?"

"Yes, I'm really looking forward to it, Mo Lijun's wish!"

Mo Li shook his head. He wouldn't place his hopes on a short, vague note. But since Kurumi liked it, there was no harm in going to take a look; he could treat it as entertainment.

Meanwhile, Kotori, Yoshino, Tohka, and Nia were standing in front of the shopping street, looking at the group tying bamboo skewers nearby, and asked in confusion:

"Kotori, what are you doing?"

"Ah, I'm signing a short visa, because today is Qixi Festival!"

"By the way, Mo Li mentioned on the Ferris wheel before that Qixi Festival is a festival that symbolizes love, right, Kotori?"

"Yes, legend has it that if you write your wish on a piece of paper called a short slip and tie it to a bamboo leaf, your wish will come true."

Kotori explained the origin of the short slips to the other three, which aroused Tohka's great interest.

Tohka's eyes lit up as she looked at Kotori with anticipation, her meaning clear.

"I understand. You can go write it. Nia and Yoshino can go too."

The two nodded and ran straight to the shop that was issuing short-term visas, where they began to write on them.

Kotori sighed, and taking advantage of the other three's inattention, she asked the shopkeeper for a short note and secretly wrote something down.

Tohka finished writing first, put down her pen, and said to Kotori and the others:

"Ta-da! Oh my, what is everyone writing?"

Upon hearing Tohka's words, Kotori quickly crossed out the words on the screen, looking very nervous.

The words "Together with Mo Li forever" could be faintly seen on it, but they were all covered up.

"What's wrong, Kotori?"

"No, it's nothing, I just misspelled a word, I'm just rewriting it!"

Chapter 116 Wedding Photos, Demon King and Nightmare

After writing down their wishes, the four of them found suitable spots and tied their short notes to them.

Kotori found a secluded spot with hardly anyone around, glanced around quietly, blushed, tied the short stick to the bamboo, and then silently returned to the far end.

"Seriously, where did Mo Li go? We agreed to train together today!"

"With so many people, it's going to be a hassle to search. We'll have to split up and search."

Kotori sighed. Mo Li had said he would train on Qixi Festival, but he had disappeared without a trace, leaving everyone to come looking for him.

Each of the four members of the group, including Shi Xiang, walked in one of the four directions: east, west, south, and north.

Meanwhile, Mo Li and Kuang San were standing in front of the wedding dress shop, looking at the signs on the roadside and talking about something.

"Mo Li, look, look! It's a wedding photo shoot! I want to wear one of those once."

"Eh, wedding photos? Kurumi, why are you interested in this?"

"Is that not allowed? I want to keep some memories with Mo Lijun!"

Kurumi looked at Mo Li with a helpless and aggrieved expression; anyone else would have agreed immediately.

But Mo Li was no ordinary person; after enduring that gaze for five seconds, she still chose to agree.

There's no way around it; even the Demon King can't withstand that kind of gaze.

"I understand. In short, let's try asking them first!"

After Mo Li finished speaking, she pulled the smiling Kurumi into the wedding dress shop.

"Welcome, may I ask how you two can help me?"

As soon as the two entered the lobby, the sales clerk at the front desk rushed over to ask them questions.

"Um, I"

"Sorry, we are not allowed to sell rental services to high school students. You can come back when you are a little older."

Mo Li covered his face. His current appearance was indeed very easy for people to mistake him for a high school student, even though he was already twenty-five years old in terms of mental age.

However, remembering Kurumi's helpless eyes, Mo Li could only apologize to the sales clerk in front of him.

The Eye of Geass lit up, and the sales clerk was immediately subdued by Mo Li, quietly awaiting his orders.

"Bring out all your most expensive and beautiful wedding dresses!"

"As ordered!"

After receiving Mo Li's order, the saleswoman walked blankly to the backstage to prepare the wedding dress.

Mo Li turned around and found that Kurumi had already run outside and was talking to someone.

Because the billboard blocked his view, Mo Li did not realize that the person who came was his familiar, Yoshino.

By the time he stepped outside, Yoshino had already disappeared.

"Let's go, Kurumi, everything's arranged. You can go pick out your favorite wedding dress."

"Oh dear, I knew Mo Lijun would be alright, hehehehe!"

Kurumi hummed a song and ran happily to the innermost part of the house. Although Mo Li was curious about who Kurumi had been talking to, he didn't ask directly. Everyone has secrets.

The sales clerk warmly greeted Kurumi and, after she had chosen her wedding dress, led her into the fitting room.

Mo Li was also forced to wear a suit, but she didn't like the color; she hated white the most.

Mo Li looked in the mirror, straightened the bow tie around her neck, and sighed.

After declining the makeup artist's offer to do her makeup, Mo Li found a place to sit down and prepare to rest for a while.

Not long after, the sales clerk from before came in, her eyes gleaming as she looked at Mo Li.

He looks so handsome! Even without makeup, this suit makes him look like a dashing young nobleman. The saleswoman was utterly amazed.

Mo Li was startled by her gaze; it felt like she was about to devour him.

Fortunately, the sales clerk was very professional and quickly recovered, pulling Mo Li to the church.

Mo Li placed her hand on the doorknob and pushed open the church door.

Kurumi, holding flowers in her hands, appeared before Mo Li just like that.

Unlike her usual black and red gothic outfit, Kurumi at this moment exuded a sacred aura. Her white wedding dress, her hair styled in an updo, and her exquisite makeup undoubtedly accentuated Kurumi's beauty.

However, Mo Li's next words quickly broke the atmosphere:

"Stop, stop, stop! Who played this background music? Can't it be less sad? It's a wedding!"

The music stopped abruptly, and Kurumi was amused by Mo Li's words, covering her lips and laughing out loud.

"Oh my, as expected of Mo Lijun, you always manage to give people unexpected surprises."

"Tch, in my hometown, getting married is a very happy thing, so I hope you can be happy too."

"Could you please stop staring at me like that? It makes me feel embarrassed."

"I can't help it, your charm makes it impossible for me to take my eyes off you."

Mo Li slowly walked forward and stood next to Kurumi, their moods seemingly changed.

At that moment, the sales clerk walked in with a camera and said to the two of them:

"Alright, bride and groom, please come to the hall. The photoshoot is about to begin."

Mo Li, being very sensible, extended his hand and performed a very gentlemanly gesture, saying:

"Let's go, Kurumi!"

Kurumi smiled and took Mo Li's arm. The two walked through a long corridor and arrived at the center of the auditorium.

Although there were no guests or godfathers, in Kurumi's heart, being able to stand here with Mo Li was already an immense happiness, and she didn't care about anything else.

How I wish time could stand still at this moment, so that Mo Li could belong to her alone for this very moment.

Unfortunately, even time-manipulating spirits cannot do this.

However, it is enough to leave behind these precious memories. Mo Li's steps will not stop, nor will hers.

"Okay, bride and groom, get a little closer! Groom, smile a little more!"
