In this anime crossover, who stole my module?

I've often wondered if I'd have the chance to stand on the rooftop before graduation, overlooking the entire campus and creating some special memories.

I thought this was probably an impossible idea, given the strict rules of the General Martial Arts Academy.

Unexpectedly, I was able to see the view from the rooftop indirectly in this way today.

But how exactly did Natsume get the key?

Does he have a particularly good relationship with any teacher?

not like...

Given Natsume Ryo's solitary nature and lack of interest in group activities, he doesn't seem like the type to try to please a teacher. Could it be that he secretly used a voice actor? Or did he do something else?

Various thoughts flashed through Yumiko Miura's mind, but none of them seemed to make sense.

This, on the contrary, made her care about Natsume Ryo even more.

Just as Yumiko was pondering to herself, Yui Yuigahama looked at Ryo Natsume lying in the sunlight with complicated eyes;

Meanwhile, Hina Ebina was conjuring up all sorts of forbidden scenarios in her mind about "the time the reclusive senior and the chuunibyou junior spend together," and a suspicious smile had even appeared on her lips.

Just then, an untimely cloud drifted slowly by.

It stood perfectly positioned between the sun and Natsume Ryo, casting an annoying shadow.

"The sunlight over there is completely blocked by the clouds."

The woman lying next to her, Rikka, felt warm all over from the sun, and even her usually chuunibyou-esque tone became soft and languid, with a hint of nasal slur.

Upon hearing Rikka Takanashi's words, Ryo Natsume, who had been resting with his eyes closed, noticed something, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the cloud that had precisely blocked his sunlight.

"Yes, but it's okay."

Natsume Ryo's voice was calm and resolute, as if stating a given fact. He then casually raised one hand, pointing it at the obstructing cloud in the sky.

……

"What is he doing?"

On the other hand, neither Yui Yuigahama nor Hina Ebina were thinking about this action.

One was lost in her own thoughts, while the other was having a mental storm; only Miura Yumiko noticed Natsume Ryo's strange behavior.

She looked at Natsume Ryo's cryptic gesture, then gazed at the sky, her confusion deepening.

Reaching out at the clouds? Could this guy be like that blindfolded transfer student, a hidden chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) who thinks he can just drive the clouds away like that?

Seeing this, Miura even began to doubt whether her previous judgment that Natsume Ryo was "just a little withdrawn" was too optimistic.

Yumiko Miura clearly did not think that Ryo Natsume's action had any practical significance.

However, just as Miura Yumiko was internally ranting and about to label Natsume Ryo as a "weirdo",

……

Natsume Ryo raised his hand and gestured towards the obstructing cloud in the sky.

【delete】.

As if executing the simplest of instructions, Natsume Ryo's mind stirred slightly.

next second.

Thousands of meters above the ground, the cloud that had been floating leisurely disappeared without warning!

It's as if that area of ​​the sky has been deleted, or as if the creator god disliked that cloud for being in the way.

So He simply erased that cloud from His world canvas!

"All right."

Natsume Ryo closed his eyes again.

"Eh?!"

The little girl, Rikka Takanashi, lying next to him, opened her mouth slightly and widened her almond-shaped eyes upon seeing the clouds disappear.

The languid expression that had been basking in the warm sunshine vanished instantly, and she couldn't help but let out a muffled gasp.

Several thousand meters in the air.

Such a huge cloud! Gone just like that!

This godlike "pointing to the sky and wiping away the clouds" operation brought such a visual and emotional impact that even Rikka Takanashi's rich and chuunibyou worldview was somewhat stumped, and for a moment she couldn't find the right words to describe it.

He could only stare blankly at the empty blue sky, and then look at Natsume Ryo, who was taking a nap as if nothing had happened, and his brain completely shut down.

……

same.

From Miura Yumiko's perspective, in the shadows at the stairwell, after Natsume Ryo's seemingly meaningless action, the huge cloud in the sky actually disappeared right before her eyes!

It was as if it had been erased from thin air, leaving only a clear blue sky as a backdrop!

"Eh?"

Upon seeing this, Yumiko Miura unconsciously opened her mouth wide, and the expression on her face went through three stages: from the initial confusion of "What is this guy doing?" to the disdain of "Is he having chuunibyou?", to the current complete and frozen blankness.

She blinked hard and rubbed her eyes, trying to make sure she wasn't seeing things.

But no matter how much I checked, the image reflected by my retina remained unchanged—the cloud had indeed disappeared, vanished without a trace, as cleanly and neatly as if an eraser had wiped away a pattern.

Chapter 21 The Clumsy Adolescence of the Foolish Momoiro Dango Girl

Because the huge cloud in the sky disappeared too abruptly.

Yumiko Miura's delicate face, which had been so composed, vanished instantly, like sand art scattered by a gust of wind. Her lips moved unconsciously as she tried to organize her thoughts to describe what she had just seen, but could only utter a series of incoherent breathy sounds.

"..."

Was it a hallucination? No, no, no! Miura Yumiko's first reaction after regaining her senses was to immediately deny the possibility, because she had seen it clearly just now! She remembered exactly how big the vanished cloud was and what its shape was!

But what caused such a large cloud in the sky to disappear completely?

Miura Yumiko's subconscious began searching for scientific explanations, such as rare weather phenomena or clouds evaporating rapidly.

Or is something happening in the atmosphere that causes this visual illusion?

In short, there has to be a scientific explanation.

At least that's what she subconsciously thought.

What science can explain this?

After all, those are clouds! Clouds floating thousands of meters in the sky!

And it was such a big lump! It wasn't a leaf from the roadside or an eraser that had rolled off the table!

How could it just disappear like that?

……

Just as Miura Yumiko, the woman at the top of the campus social circle, was trying to find a scientific basis for the supernatural scene she had just witnessed in order to salvage her increasingly precarious scientific worldview.

Yui Yuigahama and Hina Ebina, who were standing nearby, noticed her unusual behavior.

When they noticed that Miura Yumiko had suddenly parted her lips slightly, her eyes were somewhat unfocused, and she was staring blankly in the direction of the rooftop, completely unlike her usual radiant and charming self, Yuigahama Yui and Ebina Hina immediately became worried.

"Yumiko? What's wrong?"

When Yui noticed that Miura Yumiko's originally slightly rosy cheeks were now somewhat pale, and there seemed to be a fine sheen of cold sweat on her forehead, she quickly moved closer. Her light pink hair, tied up in a bun, swayed gently, and she placed her palm lightly on Miura Yumiko's arm, her tone filled with obvious worry.

"You look terrible, are you feeling unwell?"

Yui carefully examined her friend's pale face. Her usually bright and energetic light brown eyes were now filled with anxiety. She subconsciously reached out and gently supported Yumiko's arm.

It was as if he was worried that his friend would collapse and faint at any moment.

"Was it a bit stuffy in the stairwell earlier, or did you squat here for too long?"

"The air around the stairwell isn't very ventilated, and squatting for too long can cause dizziness due to poor blood circulation."

"You don't seem to be doing well. Wouldn't it be better if you went to the infirmary?"

Hina Ebina leaned closer, softly analyzing the possible reasons and echoing Yui's suggestion. Her gaze behind her glasses seemed to overflow with concern.

"..."

With her two friends flanking her on either side, their concerned voices finally brought Yumiko Miura's previously chaotic thoughts back to normal.

In moments when one is almost questioning the meaning of life, the genuine concern of friends is undoubtedly a good medicine to calm the mind.

The problem is that after Miura Yumiko came to her senses, a new problem arose.

How can I explain my loss of composure just now?

She had no idea how to explain it—should she really tell Yui and Ebina that she was startled because she seemed to have seen Natsume Ryo, the loner in her class, casually raise her hand towards the sky like a god and wipe away a huge cloud out of thin air?

Such words seem utterly absurd, not to mention saying them to others, even just thinking about them in my own mind!

This sounds even more unrealistic than the BL fantasies that Ebina usually talks about!

Who would believe that if I told them?

No!

Absolutely not!

Yumiko Miura immediately rejected the idea.

Not to mention whether Yui and Ebina would believe it, even she herself found it utterly absurd.

It sounds like someone having a fit of teenage angst or talking in their sleep during the day.

If word gets out, Yui and Ebina will probably think that they have mental problems because of too much academic pressure or not sleeping well, and then they will force themselves to go to the infirmary, and may even take the initiative to contact their teachers and parents.

What if I'm mistaken for a mentally unstable freak?

That would be so embarrassing!

In Zongwu High School, a place that values ​​interpersonal relationships and group atmosphere, any abnormality can be magnified and become the subject of gossip.

No!

Absolutely not!

Thinking of this, Miura Yumiko quickly swallowed, forcibly suppressing her churning thoughts. She forced a slightly stiff but still natural smile, waved to her two friends, and made sure her voice sounded as relaxed and casual as usual.

"Ah... no, it's nothing."

"I guess I was a little dizzy because I rushed upstairs and the sunlight was too bright, but I feel much better now."

As she spoke, Miura Yumiko waved her hand again, trying to appear relaxed, while subtly turning her head away to avoid Yuigahama Yui's inquisitive light brown eyes.

"really?"

Yui Yuigahama was still a little worried. She tilted her head slightly and carefully observed Yumiko Miura's complexion, feeling that her friend's condition just now was not as simple as "a little dizzy".

"really."

Seeing that Yui was still pressing for answers, Miura Yumiko quickly nodded vigorously, deliberately emphasizing her words to increase their credibility.

"I know my own body, I'm fine now, don't worry."

"By the way, you should have seen enough by now, right?"

Seemingly wanting to end the topic as quickly as possible, Miura Yumiko immediately stood up after speaking, turning her gaze away from the rooftop as if trying to escape something, and began to urge:

"Since we know that nothing special happened here, it's just that Natsume and that transfer student were slacking off."

"Let's hurry back. Half of our lunch break is already over. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to concentrate in class this afternoon."

After saying that, Miura Yumiko didn't give Yui and Ebina a chance to ask any more questions. She turned around first and walked down the stairs with slightly hurried steps, as if she wanted to escape this place of right and wrong that had strongly impacted her worldview, as well as the "culprit" who was still lying peacefully on the rooftop - Natsume Ryo.

He clearly looked terrified after seeing Natsume Ryo use his "delete" ability on a cloud.

……

"Ah, Yumiko, wait for us..."

Seeing this, Ebina Hina quickly followed.

Although Yui Yuigahama still had doubts, seeing that Yumiko was indeed in a hurry to leave, she didn't bother to ask any more questions and quickly followed Hina.

Just before turning around to follow, Yui Yuigahama couldn't help but turn back and take another look at the open rooftop.
