In this anime crossover, who stole my module?

The original plan was simply to observe from a distance, and if anything unusual happened, to immediately turn around and leave without ever getting close.

But to Miko's utter surprise, the moment she stepped onto the tram, before she could even react, the line between reality and the supernatural blurred.

When they regained consciousness, they had been forcibly taken to a space isolated from reality, completely cutting off any way out.

"Can I let go of your hand now?"

Natsume Ryo's voice came through.

"Ah... I'm sorry..."

Yotsuya Miko looked down.

I saw that I was still holding the other person's hand tightly.

The girl released her hand abruptly as if she had been electrocuted, the lingering warmth still seeming to dance in her palm, causing an unnatural blush to quickly spread across her cheeks.

"It's ok."

"You've been inside for too long, it would be better to replenish your sugar levels."

A clear, calm voice rang out, interrupting Jianzi's random thoughts.

Yotsuya Miko saw Natsume Ryo holding a small box of beautifully packaged chocolate bars, which she then handed to her.

It's a common brand, lined with tin foil, and inside are a few chocolate bars.

"Ah...thank you..."

Yotsuya Miko responded blankly, her brain not fully processing the information, but her body almost instinctively followed the other person's instructions, reflexively reaching out to take the chocolate bar.

As the sweet taste melted on the tip of the tongue, it slid down the esophagus.

The body's sugar needs were finally replenished.

……

Miko Yotsuya took small bites of the chocolate bar, her cheeks slightly puffed out, looking just like a little animal that had finally found a safe corner to start eating, very cautiously.

Natsume Ryo tilted his head to look at her cautious, almost pitiful, appearance, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Don't worry, no one will take it from you."

"Well……"

Hearing that Natsume Ryo was clearly teasing her on purpose, Yotsuya Miko...

The shyness that had just subsided quickly resurfaced because of this joke.

She answered in a barely audible voice, her mind a jumble of thoughts, the faint blush on her cheeks lingering.

Ding dong——!

After a while, accompanied by a slight feeling of deceleration, an announcement sounded on the tram.

"The next stop is XXXXXXX."

The body's memory is faster than that of consciousness.

When the station name announced is the one near your home.

Yotsuya Miko immediately sat up straight.

"Have we arrived at the station?"

Natsume Ryo's voice rang out.

"Um……"

Yotsuya Miko nodded slightly, her gaze unconsciously following the familiar street scene rushing past the window.

—Finally, I can go home.

Although we've long since returned to reality.

However, the terrifying experience she had previously had at Kisaragi Station left an indelible shadow in Miko Yotsuya's heart.

The thought of walking that not-so-long road home alone later made me almost foresee those "things" lurking in some corner where the streetlights couldn't reach.

Yotsuya Miko felt a slight chill in her heart.

……

but.

time does not wait.

bang-

The tram decelerated smoothly, emitting a deep, lingering sound.

"XXXXXXX has arrived."

When the arrival announcement sounds.

Accompanied by the hissing sound of the air valve being released when the car door is opened.

"Natsume-kun, today... um, thank you so much, I..."

Yotsuya Miko steadied herself, forcing herself to ignore the trembling in her heart. She didn't ask Natsume Ryo for anything, but instead mustered her courage to express her gratitude to the boy on the other side, thanking him for bringing her out of that place.

But before Jianzi could finish speaking, Natsume Ryo had already stood up.

This interrupted Jianzi's thoughts.

"Let's go, let's get off the bus together."

Chapter 6 Madam, your hairstyle is dangerous!

Having finally found a mod holder, how could they possibly throw you away so easily?

A thought flashed through Natsume Ryo's mind, but he remained expressionless.

Activating the "lost" "Urban Legends" module is only the first step. How to further study the module's characteristics and find more clues about the lost module is undoubtedly the key for Yotsuya Miko at present.

Although she left the specific ghost story space of "Kisaragi Station", Yotsuya Miko herself is like a walking "ghost attractor".

Now, there's another identity: holder of the "Urban Ghost Stories Module".

No one can predict what might appear next to her in the next second.

Therefore, there was no way Natsume Ryo could let her go alone.

What if we leave it unattended and an accident occurs, causing the [Urban Legends Module] to revert to its [Lost State]?

At least remember where the Yotsuya Miko family's house is located.

It makes it easy to transfer via TP.

……

As night deepened, the streetlights in the residential area cast an orange glow, elongating the shadows of two people on the road.

The distance from the tram stop to Yotsuya's house isn't long.

But for Miko Yotsuya, who had just escaped danger, the lingering shadow of "Kisaragi Station" made her feel like she was walking on thin ice with every step, fearing that she might encounter some twisted and terrifying event again.

Fortunately, Natsume Ryo was by my side.

She doesn't need to live in fear.

at last.

A few minutes later.

A plaque above the entrance clearly reads "Yotsuya," and a typical two-story Japanese house comes into view.

The walls are off-white, the eaves are dark brown, and there is a small, exquisite courtyard in front of the door, which is well-maintained.

A few warm-toned courtyard lights were on, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

"This is it."

"Natsume-kun, thank you so much for today."

"If it weren't for you, I would never have been able to escape in this lifetime."

"And thank you for bringing me back."

Yotsuya Miko stood under the light on her porch, her face still pale, but much better than before.

She bowed deeply to Natsume Ryo, her voice filled with genuine gratitude.

"Easy to do."

"You must be very tired, go back and rest."

Natsume Ryo nodded, interrupting Yotsuya Miko's attempt to continue.

For him, solving the problem of "Kisaragi Station" was not much harder than crushing a piece of bedrock.

The key is activating the [Urban Ghost Stories Module].

This is more valuable than any expression of gratitude.

Now that the objective has been achieved and the coordinates have been recorded.

Ryo Natsume did not intend to linger; interfering in the lives of ordinary people was not his wish.

It can be very troublesome to explain your presence, especially if the other party's parents might be present.

So he decided to find a suitable opportunity, when Yotsuya Miko entered the house and there was no one around.

Send away with a single command.

However, just as Jian Zigang nodded and was about to turn around...

Click...

The door to the Yotsuya family's entrance was opened from the inside.

The light from inside the house, accompanied by a slightly surprised yet tender, maternal voice, came unexpectedly from the open entryway:

"Meet your son?"

Her voice was gentle and pleasant, with a magnetic quality unique to mature women.

Natsume Ryo paused, and almost simultaneously with Yotsuya Miko, looked in the direction from which the sound came.

The front door was already open, and under the doorway light, stood a woman dressed in casual home clothes.

She has similar hair color to Miko Yotsuya, and her features are soft and beautiful. Her eyes and brows are clearly similar to Miko's, but her temperament is completely different.

Time hadn't left many marks on her face; instead, it had shed her girlish naiveté and timidity, giving her a gentle and serene mature charm. This contrasted sharply with the still somewhat immature figure of Miko.

Her full and well-proportioned figure is so stunning that even in loungewear, her enviable curves are impossible to hide.

Especially her full breasts, which were very prominent as she leaned forward to look around, exuded the unique voluptuous charm of a mature woman.

Without a doubt, this is Yotsuya Miko's mother—Yotsuya Touko.

A character who, despite having limited screen time in the original work, left a lasting impression.

She had obviously heard the noise at the door and came out to check, only to be surprised to find that her daughter had returned so late, accompanied by a boy of similar age.

……

"Mother……"

Startled by the sudden sound of the door opening, Yotsuya Miko tensed up instinctively, almost instantly recalling the terrifying experience at Kisaragi Station. However, upon seeing her mother's familiar face, her fear subsided slightly, replaced by a different kind of panic.

Oops!

How do you explain coming home so late and being with a guy?

The matter of "Kisaragi Station" must never be mentioned!

Her mind raced, and almost as soon as her mother's gaze swept over her, she spoke first, her voice trembling with nervousness:

"Um... Mom, I... I came back late because... the tram..."

"Yes! A tram!"

"The tram was late, I missed the last one, and then... then my phone died, and I got a little lost..."

Seeing her daughter speak rapidly, her eyes darting away, avoiding eye contact with her mother, her hands nervously twisting the hem of her school uniform skirt.
