In this anime crossover, who stole my module?

"..."

"As a result, a suitable owner could not be found until the very end, and the matter was delayed indefinitely?"

It was noticed that Yukino Yukinoshita paused again.

Natsume Ryo already understood and filled in the rest of the details for her.

This was not because Natsume Ryo had paid special attention to the other party.

Rather, it was based on the understanding that Yukino Yukinoshita had almost no friends at school, a narrow social circle, and even a reclusive personality in some ways that was exactly the same as that "energy-saving advocate" Hachiman Hikigaya.

Apart from her sister, Yang Nai's "caretaker".

—Hiratsuka Shizugai.

At school, I basically had no one to talk to.

Asking her to find a suitable adopter for a stray cat of unknown origin in a short period of time is no less difficult than asking her to actively participate in a social event for popular people.

Therefore, it is understandable that this matter has been delayed.

In addition, Natsume Ryo even has reason to highly suspect that Yukino Yukinoshita's mind was unknowingly influenced by the cat demon shortly after her first contact with it.

……

"Um……"

Upon hearing Natsume Ryo's almost spot-on and accurate deduction, Yukino Yukinoshita nodded slightly, neither denying nor denying it, which was tantamount to acknowledging this rather unpleasant statement.

After all, she was indeed just as Natsume Ryo had analyzed.

Due to a combination of her own personality and various objective reasons, this matter has been delayed indefinitely.

This led to the black cat continuing to stay in her apartment.

"What happened next?"

"I've finished explaining the suspect and the general process by which it approached you."

"So when, or under what circumstances, did your body become like this?"

Natsume Ryo's gaze remained calm as he continued to press for the core question.

Snow beneath the snow is a reflection of my thoughts.

"It was probably the night before last."

“That day, I was studying at home as usual, and it happened to be sleeping on the carpet next to my feet. Because it had been very docile and never caused any trouble during that time, I didn’t pay much attention to it. I just thought it might be tired from playing or sleepy after eating.”

"As a result, it wasn't until I finished my study plan for the evening, closed my book, and was about to relax on the sofa in the living room and read for a while that I finally got to read."

"I had just stood up when I suddenly felt an extremely strong dizziness; the whole world was shaking before my eyes, and I could hear a buzzing in my ears..."

"My consciousness began to become increasingly blurred, and my eyelids felt as heavy as lead..."

"I thought I was just too tired, so I was going to lie down on the sofa and close my eyes to rest for a bit..."

"But when I regained consciousness, my body... had already become like this."

……

"Well, it's alright."

"These are pretty much all the clues we have."

After listening to Yukino Yukinoshita's account, Ryo Natsume nodded.

"According to you, that stray cat must have been planning to get close to you all along, and finally used a specific method to switch bodies with you when you were most tired and relaxed."

"But...why would it do that?"

"What do I possess that would be worth a cat demon coveting?"

Yukinoshita Yukino was puzzled.

"Don't rush to conclusions, and don't rush to speak."

Natsume Ryo raised his hand in a gesture.

"Now that we know the whole story and who the culprit is."

"Then, things will be much easier from here on out."

"Natsume Ryo said calmly."

"Are you really sure about this?"

That's a demon, after all.

Yukino Yukinoshita still felt somewhat worried.

But the result—

Hearing this, Natsume Ryo chuckled: "If even I'm not confident, then I think, Yukinoshita, I suggest you start learning how to catch mice as soon as possible and get used to how to properly use a litter box to take care of your bodily needs."

"After all, this way, they can adapt to their new identity sooner."

"That's what Natsume Ryo said half-jokingly."

"..."

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't say anything.

"Haha, just kidding."

"But now, let's go and switch your body back."

"Going right now?"

Yukino Yukinoshita was somewhat surprised to hear this.

"if not?"

Natsume Ryo raised an eyebrow: "What? Doesn't Yukinoshita-san want to switch back so soon?"

"Could it be... that Yukinoshita has already developed a slight longing for this kind of leisurely cat life where all she has to do is eat, sleep, bask in the sun, and occasionally have her fur stroked and her chin scratched by her owner when she's in a good mood?"

"Well……"

"Although the idea of being kept by a sugar daddy does sound pretty good."

"However, I should state upfront that I personally have absolutely no interest in keeping pets."

Natsume Ryo's lips curled into a faint smile as he gently pinched Yukino Yukinoshita's small, moist nose in her cat form.

"!"

Startled by this sudden intimate gesture, Yukino Yukinoshita glared at Ryo Natsume with a face full of embarrassment and anger.

……

result.

Yukino reacted before the snow fell.

Natsume Ryo bent down and swept his arm around Yukino Yukinoshita, lifting her petite and soft cat-like body and holding her steadily in his arms.

Yukino's expression froze instantly.

Immediately after its four claws were suspended in the air, it began to kick wildly.

"h!"

Before Yukino could finish speaking...

"Don't make trouble."

"It's not like we haven't hugged each other before."

"..."

Natsume Ryo's voice rang out, and he moved his arm around Yukino Yukinoshita, adjusting to a more comfortable position.

Soon, Yukino Yukinoshita gave up struggling and nestled resignedly in Ryo Natsume's arms.

"Have you gotten used to it yet?"

"Even though I am currently in cat form."

He realized that he had actually tacitly agreed to Natsume Ryo's words.

He let Natsume Ryo hold him in his arms in this way.

Yukino Yukinoshita immediately felt her cheeks burning slightly, and quickly changed her attention, asking:

"If you want to go."

"But it's still raining outside, how...are we going to get across?"

Natsume Ryo disagreed: "Just turn off the rain."

"It's off?"

"Turn off the rain...?"

Is this referring to the weather?

Can you control the weather like you turn off the lights?!

Even though Yukino Yukinoshita thought she was somewhat prepared for Natsume Ryo's various abnormalities, she still couldn't help but question him when she heard his nonchalant words.

however--

Natsume Ryo's mind had already begun to stir.

An invisible and intangible instruction, existing only in his consciousness, was quietly inputted.

【/weatherclear】

The command has taken effect.

"Crash-"

The rain outside the window, which had been falling heavily and making a sound as it pattered against the glass, stopped without warning, as if a mute button had been pressed!

The howling wind also disappeared.

The whole world seemed to be forcibly paused by an invisible hand at that moment, and then the scene was abruptly switched.

Especially when Natsume Ryo casually opened the old wooden-framed window of their room.

—The fresh, slightly cool and moist air, unique to the rain, rushed in instantly. The previous downpour had vanished, and the dark clouds in the sky outside the window had disappeared completely. A few stars could still be faintly seen twinkling through the gaps in the clouds.

"..."

Faced with all this, Yukino Yukinoshita's small cat face froze, her little mouth slightly open, her little head stiffly turning as she looked at the excessively clear sky outside the window, then at Ryo Natsume, her brain completely shutting down.

"Help someone to the end, and see them through to the end."

"All right."

"Yukinoshita-kun, lead the way."

"..."

After saying that, Natsume Ryo turned off the room lights, then hugged Yukino Yukinoshita and lightly touched the ground with his toes.

In creative mode.

Natsume Ryo took flight.

"You, you...you can actually fly?!"

Yukino Yukinoshita's icy blue cat eyes widened instantly, and her voice changed due to extreme shock.

"of course."

"Yes, flying can significantly reduce the time spent moving between city buildings, making it more efficient."

Natsume Ryo glanced down at Yukino Yukinoshita, his tone as calm as if he were talking about something completely ordinary.
