In this anime crossover, who stole my module?

After the pleasantries were over, the implication of parting was quite clear.

Natsume Ryo didn't linger, but nodded slightly to Toka before turning to leave.

"Now that Rikka is home, I'll be going."

"Well, I won't bother you any longer."

Upon hearing this, Takanashi Touka stopped talking and grabbed Rikka, who was still rubbing her forehead and trying to accuse her with her eyes, by the back of her collar. Like picking up a disobedient kitten, she dragged her towards the entrance of the apartment building without any resistance.

"Whoa!"

"let me go!"

"Contractor, please save me!!!"

Rikka struggled and sent a distress signal to Natsume Ryo.

"Shut up, go home, take a shower, and go to bed."

The bird swims with no ripples, yet its movements are swift and decisive.

Chapter 36 Hypnotic Guidance for Mother and Daughter

"You should listen to your older sister."

Natsume Ryo smiled and waved goodbye, turning her gaze away, not wanting to dwell on the little incident between the two sisters.

The night is getting darker.

It has been confirmed that Rena Kurashiki, the holder of the [Parasyte Module], is about to face danger.

Natsume Ryo naturally didn't intend to linger for too long.

Find a secluded spot and use the teleport command discreetly.

With that thought in mind, Natsume Ryo turned into a small alley.

The staircase is located on the back wall of the residential building, and it is dimly lit, with only faint light emanating from the main road in the distance.

This is the perfect place to use instructions.

Natsume Ryo stopped and, after confirming that no one was around, prepared to bring up the command interface and enter the command 【/tp】.

result.

As Natsume Ryo's thoughts stirred slightly.

Suddenly, I felt a faint sense of being watched, as if someone was locking onto me from a certain direction.

Ok?

Natsume Ryo paused slightly, his eyes glancing subtly behind him.

My gaze swept across the dimly lit street and landed precisely on the balcony of the apartment building I had just seen.

As the view zoomed out, a tall and well-defined figure could be seen looming on the third-floor balcony of the apartment building. The indoor lights outlined her long, coiled hair and straight back—clearly, it was Takanashi Touka, the girl who had just dragged Rikka home.

"..."

Was it her?

Natsume Ryo instantly understood.

As expected, Takanashi Touka wasn't as indifferent to the friend her younger sister had suddenly brought home as she appeared.

Out of her protective instincts towards her younger sister, she did not completely let her guard down, but instead chose to continue observing her secretly after Natsume Ryo left.

but.

After noticing the inquisitive look in Takanashi Touka's eyes.

Natsume Ryo didn't pay much attention to it, and instead continued to bring up the command interface and enter the command 【/tp】.

What's wrong with being seen?

It turns out that more than one person already knew his secret.

Yotsuya sees the child, and the bird swims around the six flowers.

There was also Yumiko Miura who was frightened on the rooftop.

I no longer need to have so many worries.

In any case, this world will eventually become restless because of the existence of these "modules".

It's fine to let some people get used to it in advance.

With that in mind, Natsume Ryo decided to stop hiding it, turned around, and looked openly in the direction where Takanashi Touka was, waving gently.

After completing this action.

Natsume Ryo ignored any reaction from Takanashi Touka by the window and focused his mind back into the command system, confirming the current coordinates of Kurashiki Reina, the holder of the [Parasyte Module].

Coordinates confirmed.

[/tps coordinates] (teleports to a location more than 500 squares above the current location)

Instructions are entered and executed.

Om-!

There are no signs.

Under Takanashi Touka's gaze, Natsume Ryo's figure vanished from the spot without a trace, as if the delete key had been pressed, leaving not even a ripple in the space of vision.

……

The third floor of the apartment building.

Third floor balcony.

Takanashi Touka's pupils suddenly contracted!

She just saw the boy suddenly turn around, smile at her, and even wave.

I was startled and instinctively wanted to pull my head back.

I initially thought this guy had discovered me.

Never thought.

Before she could react at all.

next second.

The figure standing in the alley vanished into thin air right before her eyes!

It's not running away, it's not hiding, it's literally disappearing!

Seeing this, Rikka Takeyu suddenly took a step forward, instinctively placing her hand on the railing and leaning slightly forward, trying to see something more clearly.

But the spot under the streetlight was empty.

It was as if the boy who had just waved to her had never existed.

Disappeared?

Did it really just vanish into thin air?!

Takanashi Touka's mind went completely blank for the first time. For the first time, an expression of extreme astonishment appeared on her usually aloof face. She even subconsciously rubbed her eyes, wondering if she was hallucinating because she had been working too hard lately.

But no matter how Takayuki Toka confirms it.

We found nothing.

Natsume Ryo has indeed disappeared.

……

at the same time.

Almost at the same instant that Natsume Ryo disappeared.

Natsume Ryo had already appeared hundreds of meters in the air.

The night wind howled high in the sky, carrying a biting chill.

Beneath my feet lies a city skyline illuminated like countless stars, with lights from every household converging into a dazzling sea of ​​light.

Looking down from this height, the view on the ground is tiny.

Natsume Ryo cast his gaze into the distance, precisely pinpointing the area directly below him.

In my field of vision, directly below me is a brightly lit, impressive-looking modern office building.

Based on the coordinates used when [tp] was called earlier.

Rena Kurashiki should be inside this office building at this moment.

"It seems we'll have to wait a bit longer."

Natsume Ryo murmured a word, confirming the target building. Then, with a slight thought, he entered the command system and selected the command under the [Urban Ghost Stories Module]:

[/effectp [Disappearance of presence]]

The command was executed silently.

Meanwhile, in the magnificent lobby of the office building below.

The bright lighting and gleaming marble walls, along with the subtle fragrance in the air, create a sophisticated and tranquil atmosphere.

In the spacious hall.

On a comfortable and spacious genuine leather sofa.

Rena Kurashiki leaned back lazily against the soft sofa.

She rested her chin on one hand, while the other hand unconsciously circled a strand of her long blonde hair.

Her legs, which appeared exceptionally long against the backdrop of her dark uniform skirt, were crossed, and the toes of her delicate leather shoes tapped the ground impatiently, producing a soft yet clear "tap, tap" sound that broke the silence of the hall.

a few hours ago.

Kurashiki Rena's mother, who is a senior executive at a cosmetics company, only answered the phone briefly before saying that there was a problem at the company and an emergency meeting needed to be held.

They were told to wait in the company lobby for a while before going to eat.

result.

They waited and waited until late at night.

"Ugh—this is so annoying!"

How long will Mom be busy?

"We've been left here for hours!"

"They won't let us leave without permission, which means we haven't been able to eat a single bite of food yet."

"There's a limit to being a workaholic."

"Don't you think so, Yumiko?"

"Um……"

Thinking of this, Kurashiki Rena couldn't help but complain again, her beautiful brows furrowing tightly, her lips pursed impatiently, her tone filled with obvious anger.

Beside her, Yumiko Miura, who was traveling with her, appeared to be in a noticeably different state.

Although she was also leaning back on the sofa.

But his eyes were clearly distracted, and he hadn't recovered from the day's events at all.

A faint gloom hung over her delicate face, and her fingers unconsciously gripped the edge of her phone, clearly indicating that she was preoccupied.

"..."

Regarding Rena Kurashiki's repeated complaints.

Yumiko Miura, as if in a daze, absentmindedly hummed in response, her mind already completely elsewhere—

Da da da.

at this time.

A series of crisp high heels clicking on the ground came from afar.
