In this anime crossover, who stole my module?

Suddenly, Miko Yotsuya swayed.

"Well……"

She groaned, her face growing even paler, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

He had to lean against the pillar to barely steady his swaying body.

It seems that he has been under a lot of mental stress for several days, and has been lacking sleep and nutrition.

Furthermore, the ghost story space itself subtly erodes the lives of the living.

This meant that Yotsuya Miko's body was already at its limit.

The prolonged negative influence finally erupted when she relaxed her guard.

"It must be the negative effects of prolonged mental stress and the eerie environment..."

Noticing Yotsuya Miko's unusual behavior, Natsume Ryo stopped searching for items.

He looked at Yotsuya Miko, his brows furrowing slightly.

I especially noticed the unnatural, ashen complexion between Yotsuya Miko's brows, and the heavy feeling as if she were entangled by something invisible.

obviously.

This is not just physical hunger and fatigue.

It's more like a negative state has emerged.

but.

If it results in a negative buff.

That's easy to solve.

Thinking of this, Natsume Ryo immediately located a very familiar icon—an iron bucket filled with white liquid.

【milk】.

of course.

This is not real milk.

It's milk from the original MC version.

The most notable characteristic of milk in the original Minecraft is that it removes all status effects.

[Take it out].

boo...

A soft sound.

A full bucket of MC original [milk], emitting a faint milky aroma, appeared in Natsume Ryo's hands.

"Drink this."

"It makes you feel better."

Natsume Ryo handed the somewhat cartoonish-looking bucket of "milk" to Yotsuya Miko.

Yotsuya Miko paused for a moment.

However, Natsume Ryo's determined gaze made Yotsuya Miko not hesitate for long. After taking it, she tilted her head back and gulped down several mouthfuls.

The milk, with its slightly sweet taste, slid down her throat.

It's like being erased by an eraser.

All the strange sensations were instantly wiped away by an invisible force, as if the delete key had been pressed!

Although my body was still somewhat weak due to hunger and lack of rest.

However, having regained control of her body, the mental heaviness also vanished.

"Eh……?"

"so amazing."

Yotsuya Miko stood there dumbfounded, looking down at the empty metal barrel and then at the sudden feeling of lightness returning to her body, completely bewildered.

What just happened?

Is milk some kind of miracle drug?

Can it instantly eliminate the negative effects of this environment on people?

Yotsuya Miko didn't understand the principle behind the milk, but the feeling of relief after her body and mind recovered was real.

Looking at Natsume Ryo's calm, almost matter-of-fact face.

It was as if everything was just a trivial matter that could be easily picked up.

"That Natsume-kun..."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but ask cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Natsume Ryo looked away from his inventory and turned to look at Yotsuya Miko.

"No need, you just need to rest."

"I've found a way to leave here."

He shook his head slightly, the corners of his mouth turning upwards in a reassuring smile.

"Um……"

After receiving a simple response, Yotsuya Miko felt more at ease and nodded gently.

Then Natsume Ryo's attention returned to his inventory.

My eyes quickly scanned the various item icons above.

Finally, Natsume Ryo's gaze settled on a yellowed, somewhat vintage-looking paper ticket.

【A Ticket Home (Limited Time Only at Kisaragi Station)】

【Category: Consumables/Special Items】

[Effect: A one-way ticket. Holding it allows you to return to your original platform before the next "non-existent" train arrives at its final destination. Note: Only effective within the "Kisaragi Station" scene, and can only be used once. It automatically expires after leaving the scene.]

Chapter 5 Module Branch Storyline, Strange Investigation Department

"found it."

Natsume Ryo whispered.

The description was concise and clear, exactly what he wanted.

Take out x2

boo.

boo...

After taking out the two tickets, Natsume Ryo handed one of them to Yotsuya Miko.

"Take this."

"When the car arrives, we can use it to go back."

Bangdang—— Bangdang——

As soon as Natsume Ryo finished speaking, a dim yellow light suddenly shone from the depths of the platform.

The sound of metal rubbing together grew louder as it approached.

A rusty tram with blurry windows glided slowly toward them and came to a stop.

Crunch-!

The car door opened, revealing the interior.

Facing the tram that had brought her here.

Yotsuya Miko's heart, which had just calmed down a little, tightened again, and she instinctively shrank back.

After all, from the perspective of the victim, Miko, the wide-open car door was nothing short of a giant maw ready to devour anyone.

It sent chills down her spine.

But just then, a warm hand grasped Yotsuya Miko's cold little hand.

Yotsuya saw that the girl had turned her head to look.

Natsume Ryo was standing next to her.

Natsume Ryo held her hand firmly, and the composure conveyed through his palm became the most effective stimulant for Yotsuya Miko at this moment.

"Let's go."

"Um……"

Yotsuya Miko nodded vigorously, letting Natsume Ryo pull her towards the ghost train parked by the platform.

Crunch-!

The car door is closed.

Ryo Natsume and Miko Yotsuya suddenly felt a pulling sensation, as if they were being pulled away from this world.

My vision suddenly blurred.

The deafening roar of trams filled my ears.

It's like a tram speeding by.

Om-! ! !

next second.

The two of them seemed to pass through an invisible membrane, their bodies and souls intertwined, returning to reality from a bizarre dimension.

All colors have been restored to their original state.

The light suddenly became bright.

After the sound of the tram running smoothly was replaced.

Miko Yotsuya found herself sitting in a normally moving tram car.

The city lights flowed past the window.

Yotsuya Miko sat by the window, her thoughts returning slightly, and she couldn't help but recall the cause of the whole incident.

It all started after she activated something called the "Urban Ghost Stories Module".

The initial items obtained.

A card titled "Oddity Investigation Request".

At first, she thought it was just another hallucination caused by her "seeing," since the [Urban Ghost Stories Module] and [Strange Investigation Request Form] both sounded like pranks.

But that was not an illusion.

The cards repeatedly appeared uninvited in her schoolbag.

He then guided her to join the school's almost deserted "Strange Investigation Department."

The entire [Strange Investigation Department] consists of three members, including Yotsuya Miko.

Minister Geng Xizi (senior).

There was also Geng Wujiang, a classmate.

"visible".

After joining the [Strange Investigation Department].

The latest task issued by the 【Strange Investigation Request】 is to 【Investigate the unusual rumors surrounding Kisaragi Station】.

Following the clear instructions of the mission, Yotsuya Miko, out of curiosity, went out to investigate.

He thought that with his "ignore technique" that he had developed, he could get away with it as usual and complete the investigation as long as he pretended not to see those "ghosts".
