In this anime crossover, who stole my module?

"An omnipotent power can easily make people lose themselves in it, gradually forgetting their original selves."

"Eating, sleeping, occasionally watching boring movies... these seemingly insignificant daily routines are like anchor points that can re-anchor a person."

"At least, that's how it is now."

These words caused Geng Xizi to pause slightly, and for the first time, an indescribable, strange light appeared in her eyes, which always held a playful smile.

Staring intently at Natsume Ryo's profile, she seemed to be thinking of something more.

"Alright, get up."

Natsume Ryo didn't continue the topic and gently patted Yuuko, who was still clinging to him.

"Hey... lie down a little longer..."

Geng Xizi said coquettishly, twisting her body slightly, her mature and full curves clearly visible through the thin fabric.

Natsume Ryo's eyes twitched. Without further ado, he reached out and pinched her small, pert nose.

"Woo..."

Geng Xizi let out a soft, aggrieved moan before reluctantly releasing her arms.

Natsume Ryo sat up and got out of bed.

After a quick wash, I changed into some dry loungewear and went to the living room.

In the living room, the cat demon was curled up in a corner of the sofa, fast asleep, still wearing the lace collar with golden bells around its neck.

Seemingly hearing a noise, it pricked up its ears alertly and opened its icy blue cat eyes.

When he realized that the person who came was Natsume Ryo.

The cat demon shuddered and jumped off the sofa, wagging its tail like a rattle-drum, and fawned over her.

Good morning, sir! Did you sleep well last night?

"Little demon has been keeping watch for you here all night, meow."

"I didn't even dare to close my eyes!"

As the cat demon spoke, it rubbed its fluffy little head against Natsume Ryo's trouser leg.

"is it?"

Natsume Ryo raised an eyebrow, glanced down at the suspicious, glistening liquid still clinging to the corner of its mouth, and at the small wet patch it had pressed onto the sofa.

"So what's with all that drooling? Did you dream about something delicious?"

"Meow!"

Upon hearing this, the cat demon stiffened, then hurriedly stretched out its paw to wipe its mouth haphazardly, looking at Natsume Ryo with an innocent expression.

"My lord, you've misread it, meow! This... this is a little demon's tear of longing for you, meow!"

"..."

I heard the cat demon, who had completely lost all sense of morality, shouting.

Natsume Ryo's eye twitched.

This guy's sense of shame, along with his courage, was indeed shattered the moment he free-fell from thousands of meters in the air.

"Okay, stop howling."

Natsume Ryo rubbed his temples with a slight headache and flicked the cat's head lightly with his fingertip.

"Meow meow..."

The cat demon let out a soft, aggrieved whimper, but immediately shut its mouth obediently.

……

After a while.

Natsume Ryo washed up and changed his clothes, preparing to set off.

Then, I focused my attention and drew up the instructions.

[/tps coordinates]

Om-!

next second.

It was still that quiet alley not far from the school gate.

The sunshine in the early morning is just right.

The air was fresh, and the number of students in school uniforms around them was gradually increasing.

As Natsume Ryo and his group seamlessly merged into the flow of students heading to school.

It was then that I noticed students gathered in twos and threes on the road leading to the entrance of Soubu High School.

Almost everyone was discussing the same thing with great interest.

"Hey, did you see it? That live stream recording from last night! It was absolutely explosive!"

"I watched it! I stayed up all night watching it! That black streamer named Jamal actually dared to stream under those circumstances!"

"Yes! That lightning giant... and then that dark red giant that appeared later... My God, I still feel like I'm dreaming! Is this really the world we live in?"

"Who knows? But the internet is in an uproar right now! There are all sorts of opinions!"

"Yes, but I think... the figure inside that dark red giant's head is the most crucial part! You guys saw it too, right? Although it's blurry, it's definitely a person!"

"I saw it! So who was it? That was so cool! That dark red giant was also being controlled! It sliced ​​two skyscrapers flat with a single strike! That's incredible!"

"I just don't know who that figure is. The internet has been digging up all sorts of guesses about who that figure is, but none of them are reliable."

"Nonsense, someone who can cause such a commotion wouldn't have their identity so easily exposed, would they?"

……

The murmurs rose and fell, clearly reaching Natsume Ryo's ears.

"Hey, Natsume-kun, that dark red giant they were talking about, could it be...?"

At this moment, Geng Xizi couldn't help but lean close to Natsume Ryo's ear, lower her voice, and her tone was filled with obvious excitement.

"..."

Natsume Ryo did not respond to this.

The cat demon following at his feet, however, was quite disdainful. Its small nose wrinkled slightly, and it let out a soft "humph" from its throat, muttering under its breath:

"Hmph! What dark red giant? It doesn't sound very powerful, meow."

"No matter how strong he is, can he possibly be stronger than the White-Faced Golden-Haired Nine-Tailed Fox?"

"A bunch of ignorant humans, making a fuss over nothing, meow."

Hearing the silly cat's words, Natsume Ryo's eyes twitched. He was too lazy to pay attention to this guy who still couldn't help but praise his old employer, and stepped into the Soubu High School teaching building.

The atmosphere in the corridors of the Zongwu High School teaching building was even more lively than outside.

Natsume Ryo even saw that Tobe Sho was excitedly gesturing wildly at Hayama Hayato, trying to describe the devastating scene he had seen through the live broadcast with his limited vocabulary.

"Hayato! You didn't see that! That dark red giant, just like that... swish, one slash! He sliced ​​two skyscrapers in half! Two of them! That's incredible!"

"Tell me, who exactly is the figure inside that dark red giant's head?"

"If I could become his apprentice, putting everything else aside, if I could learn even one or two moves, wouldn't I be invincible among my peers?!"

Hubu Xiang's eyes widened like copper bells, and he gestured wildly with his hands in the air.

Faced with Tobe Sho's overly excited state, Hayama Hayato wore a wry smile, clearly unable to handle it, nodding as he glanced casually down the corridor.

—Their gazes met in mid-air.

When Hayama Hayato saw Natsume Ryo, his wry smile deepened. He nodded slightly as a greeting, but his eyes seemed to hold a plea for help, as if saying, "Come save me!"

Natsume Ryo ignored this and left without lingering.

……

When Natsume Ryo returned to his seat by the window in the back row of Class 1-F.

As soon as I sat down, I felt several gazes directed my way.

Natsume Ryo glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and the source was crystal clear.

It was Miura Yumiko, Yuigahama Yui, and Ebina Hina sitting in the front row, their mouths slightly open, looking as if they wanted to ask but dared not.

They are doubting themselves.

Natsume Ryo understood.

As one of the few ordinary people who know his situation, it is quite reasonable for them to connect themselves with the mysterious figure who made a fleeting glimpse in the live broadcast, controlling the dark red giant and slicing two skyscrapers flat with a single stroke.

However, despite their suspicions, without any evidence, they could only watch helplessly as things stood.

Natsume Ryo didn't seem to care about this.

but.

Evidence is something that a person doesn't care about.

Benedict.

Benedict.

That's why.

As soon as Natsume Ryo sat down, someone gently poked his back with a finger.

I didn't even need to turn around to know it was Rikka Takanashi.

"Contractors need not hide anything."

"My Evil King's True Eye, last night, glimpsed the trajectory of the stars and discerned the truth of the world!"

"That dark red giant who stood between heaven and earth, wielding a massive black blade, judging false gods..."

"You're the one, Liang!"

……

I saw.

Rikka Takanashi strikes a confident pose, as if declaring, "There's only one truth." Her signature ahoge (cowlick) stands up straight, pointing upwards with obvious excitement.

"..."

Seeing this, Natsume Ryo's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

This guy is as sensitive as ever.

In some respects.

but.

To interrupt Rikka Takanashi's delicate little face, which was filled with "Praise me!", and attract more attention.

Natsume Ryo raised his hand and gently flicked her smooth forehead.

"Let's talk about it after class."

Natsume Ryo rubbed his throbbing temples, signaling Rikka to behave herself for the time being.

"Woo..."

Rikka Takanashi covered her forehead and let out a soft, aggrieved groan, but the excitement in her eyes remained undiminished.

Because Natsume Ryo didn't deny what she said!

In other words, she really guessed correctly!

Thinking of this, Rikka's eyes brightened even more.

After dealing with Rikka's situation, Natsume Ryo's thoughts drifted to another girl.

——Miko Yotsuya.

Speaking of which, when he learned that Yotsuya Miko had achieved the "Newcomer of Ghost Stories" achievement, her spiritual vision ability was enhanced once again, and she had even begun to actively chase after those low-level evil spirits.

This growth rate is indeed quite fast.
