In this anime crossover, who stole my module?

Kurashiki Reika, who was used to refuting others with her own words, felt the words that were already on her mind get stuck in her throat when she heard Natsume Ryo's words. Her body reacted before her brain did.

She quickly yielded, lowering her eyes and trying her best to avoid Natsume Ryo's gaze. Her body shrank back uncontrollably, her posture appearing meek and submissive, as if she dared not utter harsh words of reprimand.

"I know, I know..."

"I...I'll do whatever you say..."

"...

When they witnessed this scene, Rena Kurashiki and Yumiko Miura stood by, dumbfounded.

Is this really my mother, who is always assertive, has absolute authority, and never says what she means?

Rena Kurashiki could hardly believe her eyes.

After all, ever since she could remember, her mother, Kurashiki Reika, had always been the epitome of a "strong woman" in her mind.

Just as the words "retreat" and "show weakness" have never existed in her life motto, she has never shown the slightest timidity. She has overcome numerous obstacles in the fiercely competitive cosmetics industry and risen to the high position of Minister of Product Planning.

Both she and her older sister, who was already in college, had overheard people gossiping more than once that their mother was a "tiger mom" with elaborate makeup.

Anyone who tries to cause trouble will inevitably suffer the consequences and will be thoroughly subdued.

who ever thought.

The mother, known as the "tiger mom," lowered her head like a schoolchild being disciplined in front of Natsume Ryo.

This stark contrast caused Kurashiki Rena's mind to momentarily go blank.

but.

There's no time to appreciate it right now.

Seeing that Natsume Ryo didn't seem to care about his mother's reaction and instead set off, he realized that Natsume Ryo didn't care about his mother's reaction and instead set off immediately.

Kurashiki Rena quickly suppressed her chaotic thoughts, snapped back to her senses, and hurriedly instructed the still-dazed Miura Yumiko, "Yumiko, please take care of my mother for now!"

Then, he quickly followed.

Kurashiki Reika watched her daughter resolutely follow Natsume Ryo's retreating figure, her thoughts a jumble of emotions.

……

At the end of the alley.

It was a construction site surrounded by tall blue fences, which were somewhat old and still had faded advertising slogans and contact numbers printed on them.

It looks no different from other construction sites.

If it weren't for the ability to detect parasites, anyone passing by would probably just treat this place as an ordinary area awaiting construction, glancing at it briefly before giving it no further attention.

Ryo Natsume and Rena Kurashiki arrived here.

The construction site was surrounded by tall blue corrugated iron sheets, with only a simple iron gate of the same material serving as the entrance.

It was noted that the simple iron gate was ajar, indicating that management was not strict.

Natsume Ryo led the way in.

Rena Kurashiki followed closely behind.

"..."

Inside the construction site.

Piles of various building materials were stacked up, including steel bars, cement bags, and sand piles.

"over there……"

As soon as you enter here.

Kurashiki Rena lowered her voice and, relying on her parasitic biological detection ability, pointed her finger towards a makeshift shed deep inside the construction site. As she got closer, the ominous aura became clearer, and her expression gradually became tense.

Natsume Ryo nodded slightly and, with Kurashiki Rena in tow, quietly approached the shed.

The outcome is not yet fully clear.

A strong smell of blood drifted over on the breeze.

Rena Kurashiki felt a churning in her stomach, and her face immediately turned pale.

Especially when she finally saw the scene at the entrance of the shack—

"vomit……"

Immediately, Rena Kurashiki could no longer hold back and covered her mouth, gagging.

I saw.

On the open ground in front of the shed, lay the gruesome body of a man dressed in blue overalls, his death horribly mutilated with multiple injuries.

What's even more disgusting is that several figures were surrounding the corpse.

Apart from their heads, they are no different from humans in appearance.

They were dressed in various ways, both men and women.

They looked like ordinary construction workers or passersby who had wandered into the area by mistake.

But at the moment.

Without exception, their heads split open, revealing mouthparts filled with sharp teeth, which devoured the corpses.

The other corners of the shack were not a pure land either.

Several pools of dark red blood, not yet dried, were scattered on the ground and in the corners of the walls, emitting a rusty smell, silently telling the story of more than one massacre that had just taken place here.

"..."

Just as Kurashiki Rena's stomach was churning violently, almost vomiting up everything in her stomach.

Swish!

One of the humanoid parasites that was gnawing on an arm suddenly raised its head and quickly locked onto Natsume Ryo and Kurashiki Rena.

"Someone?"

When the cold, emotionless voice unique to that humanoid parasite rang out.

The other humanoid parasites that were feeding immediately stopped what they were doing, raised their heads in unison, and focused their gazes on the two of them like cold searchlights.

"—!"

When she was locked onto by several inhuman gazes, Kurashiki Rena immediately tensed up and hid behind Natsume Ryo.

Natsume Ryo didn't seem to care.

The fact that Rena Kurashiki wasn't scared out of her wits by this scene shows that she has become braver.

"Nine of them..."

"This is a good opportunity to test just how strong the parasites are when they are full."

Natsume Ryo thought to himself as he scanned the scene before him.

[Parasyte Sensing Ability (Passive Plugin)] Activated.

Including the five parasites that were feeding on the corpses, and the four parasites hiding nearby.

There are a total of nine parasites in this construction site.

Watching the parasites that had stopped eating and were slowly approaching.

After much deliberation, Natsume Ryo decided that this was a good opportunity to test the strength of these parasitic beasts.

Thinking of this, Natsume Ryo's mind stirred slightly.

After typing "/",

The instruction will be executed immediately!

A special cube appeared in Natsume Ryo's inventory.

It is precisely what can be obtained only through instruction codes—

[Barrier Block].

……

Swish-!

Just as Natsume Ryo made his choice.

The humanoid parasites that discovered them immediately launched an attack, driven by their hunting instincts!

Their heads, which originally belonged to humans, instantly split into ferocious mouthparts or bone blades that gleamed with a cold light.

From different directions, at speeds that are difficult to detect with the naked eye.

With a piercing shriek that seemed to tear through the air, it swept towards Natsume Ryo and Kurashiki Rena, who was hiding behind him!

Such a quick reaction!

A foul stench filled the air, and a chilling murderous intent permeated the atmosphere!

result.

next second.

A sudden change occurred!

Natsume Ryo took out the [Barrier Cube] and quickly raised his right hand.

at once!

Countless [Barrier Blocks] instantly condensed in the air in front, forming an invisible barrier several meters high!

The bone-like sharp knife, capable of easily cutting through sheet metal, instantly crashed into that invisible, intangible, yet indestructible air wall!

boom! boom! boom!

Dull crashing sounds sounded one after another.

The parasites' blades, capable of easily slicing through steel plates, struck the impenetrable wall of air.

Not only did they fail to make any progress, but they also failed to make any further progress.

Instead, it was slightly jolted by the enormous reaction force.

The powerful impact even caused the tip of the parasitic beast's mutated bone blade to show slight cracks due to the reaction force!

……

"The attack was blocked by something unseen."

Faced with this sudden and completely incomprehensible obstacle, the humanoid parasites that had launched the attack first all froze in their tracks.

Their grotesque bone blades, transformed from human skulls, froze slightly, clearly having never encountered such a solid yet completely invisible obstacle before.

Followed by.

They seemed to have noticed something was wrong.

Without the slightest hesitation.

At the same time, several parasites immediately changed their attack direction, swinging their sharp bone blades to the sides, above, and even behind.

boom! boom! boom!

The sounds of impact rang out one after another.

The result was exactly the same.

No matter which direction they attack, they will hit an invisible yet incredibly strong barrier.

After Natsume Ryo raised his hand.

Countless barrier blocks have already formed a transparent cube with sides several meters long.

Completely lock them inside!

Once the parasites realized they were trapped, they instinctively began to attack the invisible cage with ferocious attacks. Their bone blades shrieked and their tentacles lashed out violently, trying to break through.

A dull crashing sound sounded.

Each impact was accompanied by a subtle energy ripple at the point of contact between the bone blade and the barrier.

And the force of the parasite itself being bounced back.
