In this anime crossover, who stole my module?

It didn't take long.

Another black-haired figure came into view.

This time, Natsume Ryo was almost certain.

Amidst the bustling crowd at the school gate, there was a slightly slender figure with soft, black hair.

This is the Yotsuya Miko we've been looking for.

However, Jianzi was not alone. She was accompanied by a petite girl with shoulder-length short hair who looked very energetic and was talking excitedly.

That was Miko's only friend at school—Yurikawa Hana.

However, in Natsume Ryo's current field of vision, which is enhanced by the [Superior Spiritual Awareness] passive skill of the [Quqiang Exorcist] class.

It's completely different from what seems like an ordinary scene of two girls chatting.

In Natsume Ryo's eyes, the background is a group of people centered around Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana.

In reality, the surrounding area was crowded with all sorts of distorted "things" that exuded an ominous aura.

Chapter 12: A Girl's Crying Always Tells the Story

Some of them looked like melted wax figures, their features twisted and stuck together, trailing long, sticky black saliva;

Some were withered and thin, their limbs bent backward like withered branches, their empty eye sockets staring at Yotsuya Miko;

There was even a bloated, obese creature covered in wriggling runes like maggots, greedily scanning Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana beside her with countless tiny compound eyes.

These hideous monsters almost completely surrounded Miko and Hana, with the closest one less than half a meter away, its rotting fingers nearly touching Hana's back.

……

very scary!

very scary!

very scary!

Even with her well-developed nerves, Yotsuya Miko's inner alarm bells were ringing. Even as she stood beside Yurikawa Hana, striving to maintain her composure and occasionally responding to her friend's energetic chatter, she couldn't help but feel a surge of alarm.

But in reality, Miko's heart was already overwhelmed by immense fear.

Everywhere you look, there are these horrifying sights that drive you crazy.

And they were so close together!

Jianzi could even hear them whispering in his ear in a non-human language.

Faced with all this, Miko Yotsuya's heart was pounding wildly in her chest, her palms were sweating, her legs were weak, and she could hardly control the urge to run away.

But she can't; who knows what will happen if she reveals that she can see these "things"!

Using the "ignore technique" that he had already mastered, he kept his eyes straight ahead and pretended that everything was normal.

That has always been the rule she has relied on to survive!

Therefore, Yotsuya Miko had no choice but to force herself to keep a calm expression on her face while nodding occasionally in response to Yurikawa Hana's words, staring intently at Yurikawa Hana, her body tense like a string about to break.

"..."

Just when Yotsuya Miko felt like she was walking on a knife's edge.

Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced at the crowd and then suddenly froze!

Especially after she saw Natsume Ryo standing in the crowd waving to her to come over.

Yotsuya Miko felt as if she were a drowning person seeing a lifeline, and her trembling golden eyes seemed to be filled with light in an instant.

……

"Hua, I saw a friend, I'll go over there for a bit!"

Because of what happened last night, Miko Yotsuya has come to regard Ryo Natsume as a hidden "senior in the field of ghost stories"!

therefore.

Almost instinctively, Yotsuya Miko could no longer maintain her composure; her body reacted before her brain could, uttering a mumbled remark before running quickly toward Natsume Ryo.

"Eh?"

"Meet your son?"

Yurikawa Hana, who was standing next to him, was excitedly talking about the interesting TV program from last night when she saw Yotsuya Miko suddenly quicken her pace and walk quickly in another direction from the school gate. She was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.

"what?"

"Could it be Natsume-kun?"

Yurikawa Kaname tilted her head and looked in the direction Miko had run off to.

Then I spotted a particularly eye-catching boy in the crowd.

Yurikawa was particularly surprised when she saw Miko standing next to Natsume Ryo.

She recognized Natsume Ryo.

After all, although Natsume Ryo is usually very low-key, never participates in any club activities, and rarely talks to people, he disappears on time every day as soon as the school bell rings, as if he has no attachment to school life.

However, in Japanese high schools, an environment that places great emphasis on a sense of belonging to the community and a social atmosphere.

This unconventional style.

Instead, Natsume Ryo unexpectedly became famous at school.

Although not like the ace of the soccer club, Hayato Hayama, he is a cheerful, outgoing, and charismatic core member of the group.

But because of her outstanding appearance, her mysterious aura of always being alone, and her unwavering nature.

Aside from attending classes and necessary club activities, he never participates in any group activities, making him a model of solitude. This style has earned him a slightly teasing yet very fitting nickname among the girls – "The Number One Commander of the Homecoming Department".

……

Watching his friend jog along, finally stopping beside the eccentric "First Commander of the Homecoming Department"—Natsume Ryo, he seemed to say something.

And surprisingly, Natsume Ryo responded to her calmly.

Yuri's curiosity exploded like fireworks.

Her eyes widened, her little head filled with countless question marks.

See you?

Natsume-kun?!

When did they meet?

They're still on such good terms?

Just now, seeing how Jianzi rushed over without hesitation, one could even say he took the initiative.

This is definitely not a relationship between ordinary classmates!

When did Miko start having an affair with Natsume, whom she knows?

A string of gossip instantly filled Yurikawa's already limited brain capacity.

This made her forget the TV program they had just been discussing, and with a little excitement, she fixed her gaze on the two of them.

……

the other side.

Having successfully run to Natsume Ryo's side, Yotsuya Miko didn't dare to turn around or look around.

Because her actions had already attracted everyone's attention, she placed all her hopes on Natsume Ryo, struggling to control her slightly trembling body and manage a somewhat natural expression as she looked up and greeted him:

"Natsume-kun, good morning..."

The "things" that had been surrounding Miko Yotsuya and Kaname Yurikawa were thrown into turmoil by Miko's sudden action.

Their empty, malicious gazes were fixed on Natsume Ryo.

The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant.

"Can you see?"

One of the monsters closest to Natsume Ryo, resembling a melted wax figure with its features twisted and stuck together, seemed to have taken an interest in Natsume Ryo—the one who could make their "prey" actively seek refuge.

Its shapeless "head" turned towards Natsume Ryo, and its viscous body slowly moved towards Natsume Ryo.

"..."

Despite the guy pressing closer and closer, Natsume Ryo's expression remained unchanged.

Especially when faced with such a low-level probing.

answer?

They all seemed somewhat cheap.

Totally unnecessary.

Natsume Ryo simply raised his right hand casually, his index finger making an extremely slight motion in the air, as if he were merely brushing away a speck of dust.

But only he himself knows.

A concise and clear instruction had already been inputted and executed deep within his consciousness.

/kille【]

The kill command takes effect the moment it takes effect.

A beam of red light suddenly appeared.

In the blink of an eye, the monsters crowding around were instantly killed.

One second it's a hellish drawing, the next it returns to normal human life.

This clean, efficient, and even unreasonable method of "exorcising spirits" brought an unprecedented and enormous shock to Yotsuya Miko.

This caused Yotsuya Miko's mind to go blank. Her eyes welled up with tears that uncontrollably streamed down her face, blurring her vision.

"Is everything alright now?"

"Well, it's okay."

Natsume Ryo nodded slightly.

Upon hearing this, Yotsuya Miko looked up and met Natsume Ryo's gaze. Realizing her embarrassing state, she quickly lowered her head, wiped away the glistening tears from her eyes with the back of her hand, and raised her clearer, brighter golden eyes again to look at Natsume Ryo.

Chapter 13: Always Trust the Killing Efficiency of the /kille Command

"Thank you, senior."

A heartfelt thank you escaped Yotsuya Miko's lips, her golden eyes, freshly washed by tears, now reflected Natsume Ryo's serene face like amber after a rain shower.

senior?

Upon hearing this address, Natsume Ryo was slightly taken aback, then a smile curved his lips.

This form of address was somewhat unexpected, but coupled with Miko's slightly red eyes, her aggrieved yet determined expression of gratitude, it created a strangely endearing contrast.

Just moments ago they were facing a terrifying scene that would drive an ordinary person to the brink of mental collapse, but in the blink of an eye, they revealed such pure dependence because they received help.

This combination of fragility and resilience certainly evokes pity in people.

—She makes you want to hug her tightly and cherish her, but you can't help but want to tease her a little to see if she can show any more adorable panic and flustered behavior.

However, Natsume Ryo quickly suppressed this fleeting mischievous urge, reaching out and naturally placing his hand on Yotsuya Miko's head, awkwardly ruffling her smooth, long black hair.

The strands of hair slipped through my fingers, feeling delicate and soft, even softer and more delicate than I had imagined, and carrying a faint fragrance.

"Those things in this area have now been cleared away."

"You've already tried your best, there's no need to worry about being discovered anymore."

Natsume Ryo softened his voice, using the gentlest possible tone to soothe the listener.

"Ok!"

Yotsuya Miko nodded vigorously, though her nasal tone was still quite noticeable.

But a sense of "peace of mind" has been rekindled in her clear golden eyes.
