In this anime crossover, who stole my module?

Natsume Ryo didn't expect her to be so impatient. She had just finished class and hadn't even started lunch break yet when she came straight to the door of his classroom.

Thinking of this, Natsume Ryo slowly stepped forward.

Then, she was about a step away from Yukino Yukinoshita.

Natsume Ryo raised his hand and gently patted Yukino Yukinoshita's shoulder.

"!"

Yukino Yukinoshita shuddered and turned around almost instantly, a hint of coldness flashing in her icy blue eyes as she was disturbed.

The girls who were whispering amongst themselves shrank back instinctively when they saw Yukino Yukinoshita looking like she was about to get angry, thinking that the famous high-class beauty of Soubu High School was about to lose her temper.

"Find me?"

But when Natsume Ryo's clear voice rang out from behind Yukino Yukinoshita, carrying a faint sense of familiarity...

"!"

When Yukino Yukinoshita realized that the person who came was Ryo Natsume, a look of surprise flashed clearly in her icy blue eyes.

then.

To everyone's surprise.

When she saw that the person who suddenly patted her shoulder from behind was Natsume Ryo.

Yukino Yukinoshita's first reaction was that Hida did not respond with that cold gaze.

Instead, she resembled a frightened little animal, hurriedly raising her hands to tightly protect her chest. Her guarded and embarrassed posture made it seem as if Natsume Ryo was some lecherous scoundrel with ulterior motives.

This was completely different from her usual aloof, arrogant, and unapproachable image; she was practically a different person altogether.

"..."

Seeing Yukino's defensive posture, Natsume Ryo's face clearly showed a look of helplessness.

All I did last night was pet her a few more times, scratch her chin a few more times, and secretly rub her little belly under her skin when she turned into a cat.

As for adopting such a defensive posture as if facing a formidable enemy and about to be molested the moment they see me?

Last night, she was still the little kitten who would let him rub and squish her, and would even purr contentedly.

Yukinoshita, your reaction is a bit too much, isn't it?

Chapter 87 Yukinoshita cares, and will fight the Cat Zone to the death!!!

Compared to Natsume Ryo's composure.

Now, as Yukino Yukinoshita faces Natsume Ryo once again, the humiliating and unpleasant experience of the previous night involuntarily resurfaces in her mind—

She was inside that strange cat's body, held in his arms, and even making those indecent purring sounds.

Just thinking about those images caused two faint blushes to quickly creep onto Yukino Yukinoshita's usually cool and delicate fair face, and for the first time, she became slightly stiff and unnatural.

This complex mix of emotions made Yukino Yukinoshita instinctively want to get away.

But reason was reminding her.

This won't work!

If she can't even control this little bit of emotion, then wouldn't all her efforts to come and find Natsume Ryo before they even begin be wasted?

"You came here specifically today, not to relive last night's embarrassment, but to find out something more important. Why did you suddenly become so impatient?"

This is my thoughts.

Yukino Yukinoshita took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the various thoughts surging in her mind, and tried her best to restore her usual cool demeanor, attempting to regain control of the conversation.

however.

—When her gaze met Natsume Ryo's calm, unwavering eyes, with even a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips.

The carefully constructed psychological defenses inevitably developed a crack.

Yukino Yukinoshita still felt a strange sense of guilt. Her words seemed to be stuck in her throat, unable to be uttered or swallowed. She could only force herself to remain calm and try her best to make her voice sound normal.

"Natsume-san, about what happened last night..."

Yukino tried her best to keep her voice steady and spoke first, attempting to steer the conversation back on track.

"..."

Faced with all this, Natsume Ryo noticed that more and more students in the corridor were casting curious glances in their direction due to the commotion. So he raised his hand, interrupting Yukino Yukinoshita.

"and many more."

"Yukoshita-san."

"I think the current environment doesn't seem suitable for us to discuss...this kind of private topic."

What private topics?

Why say something that could easily be misunderstood?

On purpose?

Upon hearing Natsume Ryo's pointed words, Yukino Yukinoshita's beautiful face stiffened noticeably.

But when she noticed the increasing number of inquisitive glances directed at her, and the undisguised gossip on the faces of the girls at the classroom door, she realized that this was indeed not a good place to talk.

The corridor was crowded and noisy.

If their conversation is overheard, it's hard to guarantee it won't be embellished and spread around.

"So what do you mean?"

"Let's talk in detail during lunch break."

"..."

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered a few times. From Natsume Ryo's confident tone, she sensed that he seemed to have anticipated her coming to him and had already planned what to do next.

Since that's the case, there's no need for her to insist any further. She nodded slightly and replied:

"it is good."

"Then I'll come over again during my lunch break."

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes sparkled as she gazed at Ryo Natsume for a moment, seemingly sensing that the other party had already made arrangements in mind. She then nodded slightly in agreement.

"..."

Immediately after saying this, Yukino Yukinoshita gave Natsume Ryo a deep look before turning away decisively.

Her long, jet-black hair drew a sharp arc in the air, without the slightest hesitation.

She strode quickly toward her class, her long legs accentuated by her school uniform skirt.

—Let the gossip be the gossip.

Yukino Yukinoshita, as the second young lady of the Yukinoshita family, still commands a formidable "high-and-mighty" aura in the hearts of the students of Soubu High School.

Yukino's slender and upright back still carried the aloofness and coldness of a snow lotus.

Wherever you go.

Those students who had been craning their necks to eavesdrop immediately became much more subdued when Yukino Yukinoshita's cold gaze swept over them. They awkwardly looked away, shrank back, and dared not whisper anymore.

only.

Even Yukino Yukinoshita left so gracefully.

In Natsume Ryo's eyes.

Yukino Yukinoshita's seemingly carefree departure was actually a little hurried. From the unintentionally taut, elegant back, one could vaguely see that her emotions were not as calm and undisturbed as she appeared on the surface.

"..."

Thinking of this, Natsume Ryo watched Yukino Yukinoshita's departing figure, the faint smile on his lips deepening slightly.

Human curiosity is indeed an instinct that is hard to suppress.

Even Yukino Yukinoshita, who is usually calm, composed, and logical and rational, couldn't hold back so quickly and took the initiative to come to him.

However, this is fine.

At least, the initiative is in our own hands.

It's ultimately a pleasant thing.

Natsume Ryo nodded inwardly.

The feeling of having everything under control.

He wasn't annoying.

You could even say they enjoy it.

then.

He ignored the lingering gossipy stares in the hallway and turned to walk into his classroom.

……

at the same time.

The brief commotion outside Class F of the first year caused by Yukino Yukinoshita's appearance did not immediately subside.

After all, everyone at Soubu High School knows that Yukino Yukinoshita is a famous ice queen, beautiful and talented, from a prominent family, and usually appears cold and aloof to everyone.

Yet, she was such a "high-and-mighty beauty".

Just now, he actually went to the entrance of Class F on his own initiative. Judging from the way he looked, he did it specifically to find the usually low-key "Commander-in-Chief of the Homecoming Club" - Natsume Ryo.

Furthermore, Yukino Yukinoshita's instinctive gesture of protecting her chest, and the suspicious blush on her cheeks...

—There are definitely untold stories behind this!

Especially when thinking about how Yukino Yukinoshita usually treats everyone with an aloof and untouchable demeanor, like an iceberg or a snow lotus.

The result was completely unexpected.

She actually showed such a rare shyness in front of Natsume Ryo.

In an instant, all sorts of speculations, filled with a pink and ambiguous atmosphere, sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

It grows wildly in the hearts of these teenagers who are in the midst of puberty.

……

"Hey, Natsume."

And then Natsume Ryo walked into the classroom.

A slightly languid, monotone voice rang out.

Natsume Ryo didn't even blink, yet he knew who it was.

Besides Hachiman Hikigaya, who was forcibly "exiled" to the other side of the classroom by teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka to continue his "energy-saving" endeavors, who else could it be?

"Hikigaya-kun, what are you doing?"

Natsume Ryo looked expressionlessly at the newly promoted "prison leader" who had been forcibly "exiled" to the other side of the classroom by teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka and always observed the world with dead fish eyes.

Hikigaya Hachiman's signature dead fish eyes shifted from the paperback book open in front of him to Natsume Ryo, who had just entered the classroom.

"It's nothing, it's just that... you seem to be having a bit too much luck with women lately."

"First it was that transfer student overflowing with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), and now it's that ice queen from the honors class—Yukinoshita..."

"The charisma of the Commander-in-Chief of the Guijia Department is indeed well-deserved and should not be underestimated."

Hachiman Hikigaya naturally witnessed what had just happened in the corridor.

So at that moment, he posed his signature probing question to Natsume Ryo, who had just entered the classroom.

just.

Although Hachiman Hikigaya's words sounded like a statement of fact, the subtle hint of sourness in them immediately made Ryo Natsume guess his true thoughts.

"This guy."

"I guess I'm still upset about the bento that Komachi prepared for me!"

—Recalling the resentful look on Hachiman Hikigaya's face when he looked at him earlier, as if his good cabbage had been eaten by a pig, and considering his sarcastic tone now, Natsume Ryo could easily guess that it was related to Komachi and the unclear interpersonal relationships around him. His eyes twitched almost imperceptibly.
