In this anime crossover, who stole my module?

"Looks like your nose is pretty accurate."

Seeing this, Natsume Ryo stroked his chin, gradually understanding what was going on.

It seems that the [Cursed Puppet Master's] [Blood Pact Domination] and last night's thorough "Heart and Soul Liquid" infusion ritual have imbued these four newborn puppets with his aura.

This aura is imperceptible to ordinary people.

However, for a cat demon with a keen sense of smell, it was perfectly clear.

With this in mind, Natsume Ryo didn't hesitate. He immediately used the invisible soul link with the cursed doll to convey a concise and clear instruction to the four:

Go away!

The smiles on the faces of Kana and the other three, who were originally looking forward to seeing Natsume Ryo, instantly froze.

"Ah...it seems the Commander-in-Chief doesn't want to see us right now."

Chun's voice carried a clear sense of disappointment.

"Yes, I heard it too..."

Kana was also somewhat sullen.

Miyuki and Ai's expressions also changed.

Only Aja was clueless, looking at her four friends who suddenly seemed downcast with a puzzled expression.

……

finally.

Natsume Ryo watched their departing figures and finally breathed a sigh of relief, having managed to avoid an unnecessary commotion.

Never thought.

who ever thought.

That's what Natsume Ryo was thinking.

A clear, slightly hurried female voice, deliberately amplified in volume, suddenly rang out.

"Natsume-kun——!"

Natsume Ryo paused, but without turning around, he already knew who it was. His usually calm and unwavering black eyes showed an almost imperceptible ripple as he looked in the direction of the voice.

I saw.

Across the wide zebra crossing not far from the entrance of Zongwu High School, a familiar figure was standing there.

Her dazzling blonde hair reflected a bright luster in the afternoon sunlight.

Even from a distance, her stylish and beautiful outfit, which was completely different from the uniform of the Soubu High School, along with her excessively tall figure and alluring curves, made her stand out in the crowd.

—Rena Kurashiki.

She was waving her arms vigorously, a slightly forced, business-like bright smile on her face, her gaze fixed precisely on Natsume Ryo.

"..."

Seeing this, Natsume Ryo slightly raised his eyebrows.

What's Rena Kurashiki doing here?

Shouldn't she be at her own school or at home?

Adhering to the principle of "better to avoid trouble than to cause trouble," Natsume Ryo glanced at her indifferently, not intending to pay any attention to her. He quickened his pace, preparing to blend directly into the crowd and avoid this unnecessary interaction.

however.

"Ah! Natsume-kun! Don't go!"

When Kurashiki Rena saw that Natsume Ryo not only didn't respond but also turned to leave, her smile froze instantly. She immediately understood that the other party was deliberately avoiding her.

She stomped her foot, no longer caring about maintaining a ladylike image, and ran after Natsume Ryo, shouting loudly.

Natsume Ryo felt helpless.

He didn't want any chase scene to take place at the school gate; that would attract too much attention.

In addition, Natsume Ryo seriously underestimated Kurashiki Reina's ability to take action.

"..."

In the blink of an eye, a pair of warm and soft little hands, carrying a faint scent of perfume, reached out from behind Natsume Ryo and gently covered his eyes.

Followed by.

A soft, full, and surprisingly elastic warm and fragrant body pressed tightly against his back.

The soft, almost palpable texture was clearly conveyed through the school uniform fabric; one could even feel the other person's slightly rapid heartbeat from running.

"Guess who I am..."

Kurashiki Rena's uniquely charming voice rang close to Natsume Ryo's ear, her warm breath brushing against his neck, bringing a slight tickle.

"..."

"Sure enough, what you worry about most is what will happen."

Natsume Ryo sighed inwardly. He had absolutely no interest in this kind of old-fashioned "surprise" that certain types of girls always seemed to enjoy using.

Thinking of this, Natsume Ryo raised his hand and pulled down the hand covering his eyes, then turned around.

Then, Kurashiki Rena's pretty face, with its exquisite makeup and radiant smile because of her successful prank, came into his view up close.

—Kurashiki Rena's bright blue eyes gleamed with cunning, and the upturned corners of her mouth revealed obvious smugness. A few strands of her long golden hair, disheveled from running, clung to her cheeks, adding to her allure.

……

"Speak up, what's the matter? This isn't your school."

"Don't tell me you came all this way just to say hello."

Natsume Ryo's gaze swept over the uniform that Kurashiki Rena was wearing, which clearly did not belong to Soubu High School, and his words were pointed.

Upon hearing this, Kurashiki Rena immediately stopped in front of Natsume Ryo.

"Of course I know this isn't my school."

"But I didn't skip class on purpose to come see you, Natsume-kun."

“Something really happened at our school yesterday, Natsume-kun, you probably don’t know, right?”

Natsume Ryo raised an eyebrow, but didn't reply, signaling her to continue.

at the same time.

Every student entering the school gate would involuntarily turn their gaze to the beautiful golden figure standing obediently in front of Natsume Ryo.

"Hey, isn't that a senior from the neighboring Seishin Academy High School?"

"So beautiful! This is one of the most famous beauties at Seishin Academy High School!"

"That's not all. I heard that her family background is also quite extraordinary. She's a true prodigy."

"Wow... that's exaggerated. But it seems like they came to find that Natsume-kun on their own initiative? Could they already be taken...?"

"How could that be? It's said that countless rich young men have confessed their love to her, but they've all rejected her outright. That's why people privately call her the 'Golden Devil with MAX difficulty to conquer'."

……

The appearance of Rena Kurashiki sparked a flurry of discussion among the bustling student crowd.

Kurashiki Rena could somewhat sense the commotion she had caused.

However, she herself doesn't seem to care much about it.

Compared to these insignificant passersby, Kurashiki Rena's attention was entirely focused on Natsume Ryo.

"Natsume-kun, I... I have something I'd like to discuss with you."

Rena Kurashiki began to explain why she had suddenly appeared there:

“Yesterday, my mom and I were called to the police station, and we called you about it after we got home.”

"Yes, I did mention it."

Natsume Ryo nodded slightly.

Rena Kurashiki then continued to explain: "Not long after you hung up the phone, my best friend called to say that the same thing happened at our school."

"A large number of bodies were found in our school's gymnasium. Many students and teachers saw it, which caused many students to suffer mental breakdowns. The school administration of Seishin Gakuen High School said that they would conduct some kind of safety inspection and classes have been suspended."

"So, as soon as you started class, you came to Zongwu High School to find me?"

"Well, that's right!"

Upon hearing this, Kurashiki Rena nodded vigorously, took a step forward, her beautiful blonde hair almost falling to Natsume Ryo's shoulder, her expression became serious, and her voice lowered even further.

"So, Natsume-kun, the reason I came to see you today is actually... to discuss something with you."

“Natsume-kun, you know, those monsters… those parasites are just too terrifying.”

"But now, the police are treating these things like ordinary gang fights! This is just too unreliable!"

"The vice president of my mother's company, and those people from the restaurant last night..."

"They were all clearly killed by the parasites!"

"How can it be so easily classified as a gang fight?"

"This is simply a cover-up!"

Kurashiki Rena was filled with righteous indignation. She took a deep breath and, as if she had made up her mind, stared intently at Natsume Ryo.

"So, Natsume-kun."

"I want to tell the police about my ability to sense the presence of parasites!"

"I want to use my abilities to help them find the monsters lurking among the people! To make more people aware of the danger of parasites and to draw the attention of higher-ups!"

"If... if those truly high-ranking officials could know the truth, if they knew that such terrifying things as parasites really exist in this world, they would definitely take it seriously!"

"This way, we can prevent more innocent people from being sacrificed!"

Rena Kurashiki spoke with great enthusiasm, as if she could already see herself stepping forward to save the world.

After saying that, she looked at Natsume Ryo with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation, and added:

"It's just that..."

"Before I decide whether I really want to do it."

"I thought about it all night, and I finally decided that I should discuss it with you, Natsume-kun, first."

"After all, you told me all these things, and... you also saved me and my mother."

"..."

"So, Natsume-kun, do you think... my idea is feasible?"

Rena Kurashiki looked very nervous.

After hearing Kurashiki Reina's plan, Natsume Ryo resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

Reliable?

It's more than just unreliable.

That's incredibly stupid.

Guess who the high-ranking official in Chiba Prefecture is currently in charge of handling these "gang fights" cases?

That head of the criminal investigation department of the Chiba Prefectural Police.

It's a complete parasite.

You, a human who can sense the existence of parasites, are saying you're going to actively run up to them and reveal the truth?

Isn't this like throwing a meat bun to a dog—it's gone forever?

"Fool."

Natsume Ryo thought to himself, somewhat helpless at Kurashiki Reina's self-destructive remarks...
