In this anime crossover, who stole my module?

Clearly, the worldview-shaking experience of witnessing Natsume Ryo "erasing the clouds" during the day paled in comparison to the living, breathing monster right before their eyes.

Because that was an incomprehensible phenomenon that was at least happening to classmates.

But right now, they are facing a terrifying monster that is about to tear them to shreds!

"What are you waiting for? Run!"

Kurashiki Rena almost screamed as she tried to drag her mother and cousin away from the monster.

But the monster clearly had no intention of giving them any chance to escape.

The Shiba Inu with its head split open suddenly lunged forward at an astonishing speed, leaving almost an afterimage in its wake!

"..."

The Shiba Inu with its split head lunged at them like an arrow released from a bow.

suddenly!

At this critical moment, the Shiba Inu with its split skull seemed to have sensed some kind of deadly threat in advance, and suddenly turned its two bright, darting eyes upwards.

The body instinctively changed direction, suddenly dodging to the other side.

Almost at the same instant it made its dodge maneuver—

Boom-! ! !

A heavy, sharply angled anvil suddenly fell from the sky!

Dragging its heavy momentum, it slammed into the ground, landing precisely where the Shiba Inu monster was about to pounce.

The hard cement floor was instantly smashed into pieces.

If that Shiba Inu with its head split open had been even a fraction slower, it would have been smashed into a pile of minced meat by this heavy object falling from the sky!

obviously.

The anvil that was just smashed.

It was taken out of Natsume Ryo's backpack in Creative Mode.

"..."

"You reacted pretty quickly."

Natsume Ryo, who had been hovering in the sky, showed no regret at the sight of the Shiba Inu parasite that had dodged the falling anvil. He simply murmured something under his breath.

below.

The Shiba Inu-shaped parasite that had dodged the anvil froze for a moment upon hearing this.

Immediately.

It suddenly raised its terrifying, petal-shaped head, which was a mutated Shiba Inu skull, and its two rapidly rotating eyes looked up at the same time, its gaze locking onto Natsume Ryo, who was suspended in the night sky, as if by radar.

The moment I saw Natsume Ryo.

The Shiba Inu-shaped parasite was immediately puzzled.

"..."

"Humanity?"

"No... According to the information I currently have, the human race is not yet capable of autonomous flight."

"Moreover, I can't sense any human presence from you."

"There is no explicit hostility towards you."

"You are not my target."

"But why did you attack me?"

The Shiba Inu-shaped parasite's split head tilted slightly.

"My mission is to eliminate the excess human individuals on this planet."

"This has nothing to do with your inhuman existence."

"There should never have been a conflict between you and me."

As the parasite's cold, emotionless voice fell...

In the sky.

Natsume Ryo's dismissive voice rang out again:

"But that doesn't stop me from finding you an eyesore and wanting to kill you, does it?"

As Natsume Ryo's words fell so casually.

The parasite below, which was still trying to communicate, suddenly stopped moving.

the other side.

Kurashiki Reika, Kurashiki Reina, and Miura Yumiko almost simultaneously looked up instinctively in the direction the sound came from, gazing at the dark night sky.

As their gaze pierced the night and finally focused on the clearly defined figure suspended in mid-air—

The pupils suddenly contracted!

"Natsume...is he...is he Natsume from Yumiko's class?"

Kurashiki Rena murmured unconsciously, her face filled with disbelief.

She couldn't understand why the boys in her cousin's class were floating in the air like gods and talking to the terrifying monster from before!

Meanwhile, Kurashiki Reika, who didn't recognize Natsume Ryo, was also stunned by the sight of a boy in a school uniform floating in the air. Her mind went blank, and even her fear seemed to be temporarily replaced by astonishment.

this moment.

Only Yumiko Miura understood the truth behind it all.

The moment Miura Yumiko saw Natsume Ryo's figure, her throat bobbed uncontrollably, and she swallowed hard.

The unbelievable scene I witnessed on the rooftop during the day—Natsume Ryo casually wiping away the clouds—surged back into my mind like a tidal wave, overlapping with the even more bizarre scene before me.

"As expected..."

"What I saw was indeed true."

"Natsume... he's not human?!"

After recalling what the parasite had just said.

This thought suddenly exploded in Miura Yumiko's mind like a thunderclap.

She felt as if half of the blood in her body had frozen in that instant.

If witnessing Natsume Ryo raising his hand to wipe away the clouds during the day was merely speculation...

Now, having witnessed him hovering in the air, confronting that inhuman monster...

Everything is already an undeniable fact!

But what if Natsume Ryo isn't human?

So who exactly is he?!

god?

Or is it another kind of monster?

Thinking of this, Miura Yumiko's heart skipped a beat, causing her to tremble uncontrollably.

……

Just as Miura Yumiko was plunged into great confusion by this subversive understanding.

The two eyes beside the terrifying petal-shaped head of the parasitic Shiba Inu were fixed on Natsume Ryo, and a chilling killing intent emanated from it.

"In that case."

"Then I can assume that you want to protect these three humans."

"To be my enemy?"

The parasitic beast's voice was flat, but the sense of threat it contained suddenly increased.

however.

Faced with the increasingly intense killing intent emanating from the parasitic beast.

Natsume Ryo, upon hearing this, did not take it seriously.

"To be enemies?"

"Honestly, I don't think you have the right to say that."

"However, I don't need to correct your choice of words, just die..."

Natsume Ryo looked down and slowly raised his right hand after speaking.

The index finger pointed directly at the Shiba Inu parasite below, poised to pounce.

next second!

Natsume Ryo's consciousness silently carried out the command.

"Ugh, ugh! Ahh! How did this body suddenly become like this?!"

Followed by.

A bloodcurdling scream, so shrill it seemed inhuman, suddenly rang out!

I saw.

The parasitic beast in the form of a Shiba Inu seemed to be suddenly gripped by two invisible giant hands.

In an instant, it twisted, squeezed, and folded wildly in a way that completely defied biological structure!

The "crack" sound of bones breaking.

The "splattering" sound of muscle fibers being forcibly torn apart.

And that tooth-grinding sound of flesh twisting and turning instantly mingled together!

This is a type of ghost story in the "Urban Ghost Stories" module—one that forcibly distorts the form of a target.

In just a second or two.

The Shiba Inu's body was twisted into an indescribable mass of flesh and blood!

Because parasites also need to utilize the organs within the parasite's body to survive.

Therefore, the parasite that had taken over the Shiba Inu's body also quickly lost its life.

……

【Ding! 】

The parasite threat has been eliminated.

[Holder: Rena Kurashiki, the initial attack crisis has been averted.]

……

A system notification sounded in Natsume Ryo's mind.

The crisis has been confirmed to be over.

Immediately.

Natsume Ryo looked at Kurashiki and her daughter, as well as Miura Yumiko.

The Kurashiki mother and daughter, along with Miura Yumiko, were trembling violently, breathing rapidly. Sweat soaked their blonde hair at the temples and clung messily to their flushed cheeks. Their uniforms were also completely drenched in sweat.

Especially on the back and chest, the fabric clings tightly to the body, outlining a full and exquisite figure that is highlighted without reservation.

"Since we've already gone this far..."

Natsume Ryo thought to himself.
