In this anime crossover, who stole my module?

"You must take good care of it."

"There have been more and more incidents of stray animals injuring people lately. Especially those that haven't been vaccinated, remember to check them first when you bring them home."

"Yes, yes, it would be bad if we encountered any danger."

Several staff members chattered with Natsume Ryo, their eyes occasionally glancing at the black cat in his arms.

"..."

At this moment, she was being so casually judged and criticized by several complete strangers, who discussed her disheveled appearance as if she were an object.

They even use the same condescending, pitying tone they would use on an ordinary street pet to describe it as "beautiful" or "a rare breed"...

Beneath the cat's body, the soul of the second young lady of the Yukinoshita family trembled.

……

"Well, I'll pay attention."

"..."

Noticing something amiss, Natsume Ryo nodded slightly and gently comforted Yukino Yukinoshita.

who ever thought.

Under his skillful stroking, the cat's body shamefully relaxed a little, and even unconsciously let out the kind of comfortable purring sound unique to cats.

"Snoring..."

"Ok?"

"ha!!!"

The faint snoring sound clearly reached Natsume Ryo's ears.

Yukino Yukinoshita also reacted immediately at this moment.

I saw.

Yukino Yukinoshita's icy blue eyes widened instantly, her cat pupils turning into two thin lines, her mind going completely blank as if struck by lightning.

How could she make such a fawning sound in the arms of a boy she knew who was the same age?!

Even now, she is in cat form.

Even so, Yukino Yukinoshita's thoughts completely went blank. She wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into or simply faint.

……

follow closely.

Natsume Ryo's thoughts stirred slightly.

【/weatherrain】

A few raindrops fell from the sky without warning, hitting everyone's heads.

"Oh dear, it's raining!"

"Oh no, it seems we have to get this golden retriever back to its new owner right away."

"Then, sir, we'll take our leave now."

"I'm so sorry to have caused you trouble!"

As the rain intensified, the staff at the animal shelter quickly secured the collar firmly around the golden retriever's neck.

After bowing repeatedly to apologize to Natsume Ryo, he quickly left, leading the golden retriever that was still reluctant to part with Natsume Ryo.

……

"Natsume-kun, do you want to keep this kitten?"

After the group left, Geng Xizi's graceful figure, which seemed to exist between reality and illusion, moved closer to Natsume Ryo's side.

She looked at the black cat in Natsume Ryo's arms with great interest, and stretched out her slender finger, wanting to poke Yukino Yukinoshita's little head:

"This kitten seems quite intelligent."

"It's that look in his eyes... why does it look so fierce? Like he's about to bite someone."

"Let's not talk about this for now, let's find a place to take shelter from the rain."

Natsume Ryo didn't answer Yuuko's question, but instead glanced at the rapidly thickening rain overhead.

The rain, which had started as a light drizzle, turned into a downpour in just a few breaths, with large raindrops hitting the ground and splashing up countless water droplets.

"Should we teleport back directly?"

Geng Xizi tilted her head, blinked her eyes, and asked.

No, come with me.

Upon hearing this, Natsume Ryo shook his head meaningfully. After assessing his current location, he carried Yukino Yukinoshita, who was shivering slightly from the cold and unfamiliar surroundings, and walked slowly in one direction.

Seeing this, Geng Xizi and Ying Xizi exchanged a glance and immediately followed suit.

……

Shortly after.

Under the guidance of Natsume Ryo.

The group arrived at a dilapidated two-story wooden house that looked somewhat out of place, sandwiched between two modern high-rise buildings.

The walls are made of mottled dark wood planks, and the roof tiles are somewhat loose. The whole place exudes a sense of desolation, as if forgotten by time. A faded wooden sign reading "Tsukuyomi-sou" hangs at the entrance.

This was when Natsume Ryo first came into this world.

—The first place I stayed.

When Natsume Ryo accidentally traveled to this place, his body was shrunk, and he became a helpless orphan.

It was the owner of the manor this month—a kind old lady—who took him in, not only waiving his rent but also cleaning out the best-lit room on the second floor for him to live in.

just now.

Time flows on.

The old lady and her husband passed away one after the other.

This month, the old manor has also become increasingly dilapidated under the erosion of time.

Now, only the two elderly people and their equally kind but somewhat impulsive granddaughter remain in this old house.

I will continue to live here as the caretaker of this old house.

And this tenant who almost never comes back, yet keeps renewing his lease under his name.

If it weren't for Natsume Ryo being the only one who could provide a meager rent to maintain the apartment's basic operations.

Then this Tsukuyomi-sou, filled with memories, will soon be reduced to rubble in the wave of urban renewal.

……

jingle……

Ryo Natsume pushed open the slightly worn wooden door, and the wind chimes hanging above the door made a crisp sound in the evening breeze.

The room was lit with warm lights, and the aroma of food could be faintly smelled.

Followed by.

A pink-haired girl wearing a pink bunny apron, with a loose home T-shirt and shorts underneath, outlining her youthful yet already developing curves, holding a spatula.

—Upon hearing the door open and the wind chimes ring, she immediately peeked out from the kitchen, where the aroma of food wafted.

"Huh, who is it?"

……

When Konno Azusa, the current manager of Tsukuyomi-sou, saw that Natsume Ryo was standing at the door, her bright, green eyes lit up instantly.

"Mr. Natsume, you're back?!"

Konno Azusa immediately put the spatula on the counter, ignoring the ingredients cooking in the pot, and ran out of the kitchen in a few quick steps, leaving behind a fragrant aroma.

Her fair cheeks flushed a lovely pink from the heat of the kitchen and her excited state of mind.

A few glistening beads of sweat clung to the stray hairs on her forehead.

……

When she ran up to Natsume Ryo, her full chest heaving slightly from running so fast, Konno Azusa almost instinctively opened her arms and rushed into Natsume Ryo's embrace.

"Mr. Natsume, it's been a long time!"

"I... I thought you would never come back!"

"It's been over a month since I last saw you at the hospital!"

Konno Azusa's voice was filled with obvious excitement.

She wrapped her arms tightly around Natsume Ryo's waist, buried her face in the crook of his neck, and rubbed against him like a kitten that had finally found its owner.

Caught off guard.

Natsume Ryo felt a soft and surprisingly elastic sensation instantly wash over him.

Konno Azusa's figure was already very well-developed.

A prime example of "baby face and big breasts," her adorable, youthful face hides a voluptuous figure that belies her age. Her loose-fitting t-shirt and pink bunny apron can't conceal her surging breasts.

now.

Her impressive curves pressed tightly against Natsume Ryo's chest without reservation.

Ryo Natsume could even clearly feel that the soft, full curves of Azusa Konno's chest were slightly deformed because they were too close together.

The girl's unique fragrance lingered around his nose, and the pink rabbit apron fabric was stretched taut by her full breasts, almost distorting the rabbit pattern on the apron.

"..."

Natsume Ryo was caught off guard by Konno Azusa's enthusiastic hug, and his body stiffened slightly.

……

Natsume Ryo looked at Yukino Yukinoshita, who was being squeezed into a pancake shape, and couldn't help but laugh and cry. After a while, he raised his hand and gently patted Azusa Konno's back, reminding her softly:

"Alright, Miss Zi, that's enough."

After a while, Natsume Ryo's slightly helpless voice rang out. He raised his hand and gently patted Konno Azusa's back, reminding her softly.

"!!!"

Konno Azusa was taken aback when she heard this, and then belatedly realized that she had been hugging Natsume Ryo for too long and too tightly. Her face turned red, and she quickly let go of her arms and took a small step back, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Natsume, I... I got too excited... I accidentally..."

"Well, it's okay."

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen Miss Zi."

Seeing Konno Azusa's adorable, shy expression, Natsume Ryo waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind.

"Speaking of which, what an adorable cat! Is this Mr. Natsume's new pet?"

Konno Azusa's eyes lit up when she noticed the black cat in Natsume Ryo's arms.

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

—Being called a pet to someone's face.

This feeling was absolutely terrible for Yukino Yukinoshita.

Especially since she was being stared at by a seemingly clumsy pink-haired girl with eyes that said, "So cute, let me touch you."

This feeling made Yukino Yukinoshita instinctively shrink into Natsume Ryo's arms, trying to avoid Konno Azusa's "threatening" gaze.
