In this anime crossover, who stole my module?

Page 76

Natsume Ryo looked down at his school uniform, which was indeed quite wet, and wanted to refuse. After all, it was just a little rain, and with his creative mode constitution, he couldn't possibly get sick from it.

who ever thought.

Upon hearing this, Konno Azusa immediately shook her head like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, her tone leaving no room for doubt.

"No, no, no!"

"The rain is so heavy, it definitely won't stop tonight!"

"Besides, look, the kitten in your arms is freezing too."

"Mr. Natsume, please don't stand on ceremony! This is your home too!"

Seeing that Natsume Ryo seemed hesitant, Konno Azusa stepped forward, gently tugging at Natsume Ryo's sleeve and shaking it softly, her emerald green eyes filled with sincere earnestness.

"Besides, your change of clothes are still stored here."

"I have already cleaned and tidied it up carefully for you."

"It's in the closet in the room you used to live in! It's all neatly arranged!"

"Please go to the bathroom to shower first; the water temperature should be just right! I'll go get your clothes for you right away."

After Konno Azusa finished speaking, she didn't give Natsume Ryo a chance to refuse. With her petite yet surprisingly strong body, she led Natsume Ryo towards the bathroom, her face showing an unyielding stubbornness.

Seeing Konno Azusa's stubborn expression, Natsume Ryo smiled helplessly and had no choice but to acquiesce.

"alright."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Zi."

"I'll go wash first."

"No trouble at all! Not trouble at all!"

When Natsume Ryo agreed, Konno Azusa smiled sweetly, two shallow dimples appearing on her cheeks, making her look exceptionally sweet and lovely.

"Then Mr. Natsume, please go take a bath first. If the water isn't hot enough, just add some more."

"I'll go upstairs and get you some clean clothes. I'll be right back!"

After saying that, Konno Azusa released her grip on Natsume Ryou's sleeve, humming an off-key tune, and turned and jogged up the creaking wooden stairs with light steps, clearly in a very good mood.

"..."

Yukino Yukinoshita paid no attention to the girl's almost undisguised expression of budding romantic feelings.

At that moment, all she could think about was how to escape this house.

After all, the person Yukino Yukinoshita is most eager to help right now is her older sister, Yukinoshita Haruno.

It's not Natsume Ryo.

Therefore, Yukino was still calculating the best time to escape.

however--

When Natsume Ryo reached the bathroom door, he gently put Yukino Yukinoshita down.

"Remember not to wander off."

"Yukoshita-san."

Natsume Ryo chuckled.

Yukino Yukinoshita's expression froze instantly.

"He...he knew that the cat was himself?!"

Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly turned her head to look at him, trying to find even the slightest trace of a joke on his face.

But Natsume Ryo had already entered the bathroom.

"..."

……

wow-

The sound of water splashing was clearly audible.

Steam rose and filled the not-so-spacious bathroom.

At this moment, Natsume Ryo had his eyes closed, his body completely immersed in the hot water, with only his head sticking out and resting on the edge of the bathtub, the water temperature just right.

She looks like she's enjoying a relaxing moment.

In reality, Natsume Ryo was quickly thinking about how to make use of the "parasite" material he had just acquired.

And how to further reactivate and completely control the [Twilight Forest Module], which is in a [lost state], from Yukino Yukinoshita.

Just as Natsume Ryo was pondering—

"Hey, Natsume-kun..."

Sudden.

A slender, fair hand pulled open a crack in the wooden bathroom door, which should have been closed.

A person peeked out from behind the door, their slender, fox-like eyes, naturally upturned at the corners, sparkling in the mist.

It was Geng Xizi.

Geng Xizi smiled charmingly, her eyes sparkling with allure. She blinked and spoke slowly in an almost seductive tone:

"Natsume-kun, don't you feel a little lonely taking a bath alone...?"

"Would you like someone to come in and give you a back rub to relieve your fatigue?"

At this moment, Geng Xizi was completely unaware that her provocative words and actions, which were like lambs to the slaughter, were in the eyes of a genuine [Qu Qiang Exorcist] who possessed the "Sacred Purification Ritual".

What a blatant provocation!

"..."

Upon hearing this, Natsume Ryo slowly opened his eyes, looking at the ghostly senior who was peeking out from the doorway, whose mature curves under her school uniform were still undeniable. His eyes were calm and unwavering, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It's like the amusement of a hunter when he sees his prey willingly step into his trap.

"Oh?"

"Senior Yuuko, do you... want to bathe with me here?"

"Oh, Natsume-kun, you're such a joker..."

Noticing that Natsume Ryo remained unmoved, Geng Xizi felt a sudden jolt in her heart for no apparent reason, and let out a soft laugh, forcibly suppressing the strange feeling in her heart.

The mature spirit, clad only in a thin school uniform, squeezed boldly through the crack in the door.

Bare, snow-white feet.

With light steps on the smooth floor, he moved closer and closer to the bathtub where Natsume Ryo was.

"I just saw that Natsume-kun looked very tired and wanted to help you out..."

As she spoke, Geng Xizi gracefully walked to the edge of the bathtub, bent down, and extended her slender, slightly cool, white fingers, as if to tease Natsume Ryo's shoulder.

after all.

I was both embarrassed and annoyed by Natsume Ryo's "purification" theory.

Now that she has the opportunity, Geng Xizi naturally wants to turn the tables.

Let's see what interesting expression Natsume Ryo, who is always calm and collected, will make when faced with such "provocation."

……

However, just as Yuuko's fingertips were about to touch Natsume Ryo's skin—

A glint flashed in Natsume Ryo's eyes, and the arm that had been casually draped over the edge of the bathtub suddenly shot out like a crocodile in his hand!

It was so fast that it even created a faint whooshing sound!

"ah--!"

Geng Xizi felt a blur before her eyes, and her wrist was grabbed by a long, strong hand in the blink of an eye!

Before she could even utter a cry, she staggered and fell forward!

Puff-!

A moderate splash rang out, sending water flying everywhere.

Geng Xizi's graceful spirit body, like a kite with a broken string, plunged directly into the warm bathtub, instantly becoming soaked.

Her long, glossy black hair clung to her skin in a disheveled state, with water droplets dripping from the ends.

The old-fashioned school uniform clung tightly to his body because it was completely soaked.

It perfectly outlined her mature, voluptuous, and curvaceous body.

……

"Natsume! Natsume-kun! What are you doing?"

Geng Xizi slumped down in front of Natsume Ryo in an extremely ambiguous position, her hands instinctively bracing themselves on the edge of the bathtub, trying to steady herself. She raised her pretty face, which was covered in water droplets, and glared at Natsume Ryo, who was so close to her, with a mixture of shame and annoyance.

now.

Water droplets had already slid down her delicate chin, dripping into the deep cleavage below, barely visible due to the soaked fabric.

Her breathing rose and fell slightly with her rapid breathing.

"doing what?"

"Of course, we'll carry out the purification ritual tonight."

"Eh?"

"A purification ritual?!"

Upon hearing this, Yuuko's body stiffened abruptly, and her mind flashed back to the various descriptions Natsume Ryo had mentioned earlier about using "holy water" to "purify" Yuuko—things like "holy water born from the very core of the body" and "directly injected into the core"...

At the time, she just felt that some of Natsume Ryo's statements sounded a bit strange, with a hint of ambiguity, and she was even a little smug that she had seen through his special interest in "shadows".

But now, when these words are connected with his current situation and Natsume Ryo's aggressive gaze...

Geng Xizi only realized this belatedly.

—It seems I've really walked right into the line of fire!

……

In the bathtub.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

"Natsume-kun! I... I'm not ready yet! I..."

—Suddenly realizing that Natsume Ryo was not the type to be easily fooled by her!

Geng Xizi hurriedly opened her mouth, trying to explain, her cheeks instantly turning as red as a boiled shrimp!

But Natsume Ryo wouldn't give Yuuko a chance again and again. With a slight exertion of his arm, he pulled her soft spirit closer.

"You don't need to prepare for the purification ritual."

"And I think, Senior Yuko, you are very well prepared."
