Anime Crossover: Post-Apocalyptic Survival, My Stand is the World

"what?"

Listening to this coffee bean introduction, which was full of a sense of tranquility and completely baffling, his brain, which was capable of making perfect decisions in any game, completely shut down at this moment.

SOS signal?

What the hell is this SOS signal?

Is this a radio ad for a coffee shop in the apocalypse?

"Bai. Locate the source of this signal immediately, using the highest privileges."

He practically gritted his teeth as he said those words.

He wanted to see which deity dared to live such a leisurely life in this kind of world.

……

A few minutes later.

The location results are in.

It was a small town ruin not too far from them, located on the outskirts of Tokyo, characterized by its European-style wooden houses and cobblestone streets.

Su Chen looked at the name on the map that was full of fairy tale and healing atmosphere, and then recalled the strange distress signal that was full of coffee aroma. A funny and knowing smile appeared on his face.

'I see……'

'That's... totally your style, the cutest way to cry for help.'

"Alright, girls."

He stood up and waved to the girls behind him who were also looking on with curiosity.

"Walk."

"Let's go get a coffee."

He glanced at the girl with the bun hairstyle beside him, Yui Yuigahama, who also longed for sweets, and the silver-haired little girl Kanna who was clinging to his leg with a yearning look on her face, as if she regarded him as a portable power bank. A gentle smile full of doting affection appeared on his face.

"By the way, it's time to take you two little gluttons out for some fresh air."

Chapter 201 The Town Protected by Cuteness

The next morning.

A black SUV, meticulously modified by the Ministry of Science and Technology, with a low-key and simple exterior but an interior filled with all sorts of cutting-edge technology, silently drove into the ruins of that fairytale-like town full of European charm, like a black ghost.

The car slowly came to a stop.

Su Chen got out of the driver's seat.

He looked at the incongruous, eerily peaceful scene before him, and a rare look of surprise appeared in his usually sharp and insightful dark eyes.

Although most of the exotic, colorful wooden houses lining the streets were dilapidated.

Withered vines climbed the walls, like mottled tear stains left by time; most of the windows were also broken, leaving only empty window frames that made a soft whistling sound in the morning breeze, as if whispering about the past prosperity.

The entire town was filled with a desolate beauty, a sense of things having changed and people being gone.

The stone-paved road on the ground, except for a thin layer of dust, was so clean that it looked as if someone had cleaned it just yesterday.

The entire town was shrouded in an extremely peaceful yet eerily quiet atmosphere.

It was as if the storm of doomsday had been completely dispelled by some invisible force before it even reached this place.

"Wow……"

"What a...beautiful place..."

In the back seat of the car, Yui Yuigahama looked out the window at the peaceful scene that resembled a fairy tale picture book and couldn't help but sigh.

There was no oppressive atmosphere like Shinjuku, no deathly silence like Akihabara. Instead, it felt like a forgotten, sleeping European town, allowing her heart, which had been tense because of the apocalypse, to feel a long-lost sense of relaxation.

"Want to eat."

Beside her, the silver-haired little girl, Kanna, whose face was also pressed tightly against the car window, pointed to a coffee shop on the street that, although it had long been closed, still had a cute rabbit pattern on its sign, and spoke her truest thoughts in a childish voice.

……

"Something's wrong."

Su Chen frowned.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

He slowly released his [Triple Rebirth] spiritual awareness, like invisible ripples.

Then, his face, which was always full of confidence and composure, instantly showed the same look of surprise as it had when he was in Shinjuku.

'This feeling...'

'It can't be wrong.'

He could feel it clearly.

I could feel that the air throughout the town was filled with an extremely faint yet extremely pure magical aura.

That wasn't the malice of a demon, nor was it a human superpower.

Rather, it is a more ancient, more fundamental barrier power, filled with the spirit of nature and harmony.

It was this invisible barrier that, like a warm yet unbreakable shield, kept all the malevolent monsters outside the small town.

It has created a miraculous paradise for the residents here.

'But...who set up the barrier?'

Su Chen's gaze slowly swept over the desolate, deserted town.

Ultimately, his intuition locked onto the very center of the town (bjdc).

That ancient stone clock tower, full of European style.

The source of that magical aura is right there.

……

Su Chen, accompanied by two equally curious and greedy little cats, cautiously arrived at the foot of the clock tower.

Then, he looked up and saw the true face of the barrier that made him both laugh and cry.

I saw.

At the top of that ancient, moss-covered clock tower.

A fluffy, chubby, round white ball of fur that looks and feels incredibly good to the touch.

It was lying there lazily, basking in the morning sunlight, fast asleep.

He also wore a black bow tie on his chest, exuding gentlemanly elegance.

Its two long, drooping ears and its pink and adorable three-lobed mouth all speak of its noble lineage.

A purebred Angolan giant rabbit.

【Tibi】.

"rabbit?"

Yui looked at the adorable fur ball that seemed harmless no matter how she looked at it, and was somewhat puzzled.

Was this powerful barrier set up by the little rabbit?

However, beside her is a little gourmet named Kanna, who possesses dragon blood.

The moment I saw that rabbit.

Her usually languid, beautiful blue eyes suddenly widened.

Her mouth began to drool uncontrollably.

She can feel it.

She sensed that the seemingly ordinary rabbit contained an extremely large amount of magical energy, which was considered a top-tier tonic for her.

The feeling was like someone who hadn't eaten for three days suddenly seeing a piece of top-quality Wagyu beef, steaming hot and sizzling.

"Want to eat."

Su Chen looked at the sleeping magical creature that was unconsciously emanating a powerful exorcism barrier.

Then he glanced at the electric dragon beside him, which was practically drooling.

A knowing and amused smile appeared on his face.

'I see……'

"The so-called 'barrier' is just the magic it unconsciously emits while sleeping, or perhaps... its snoring?"

'That's really true...'

'What an adorable way to protect someone!'

Chapter 202 Rabbit House

At the top of the clock tower, Tippy, the white furry ball that had been sleeping soundly and swaying gently in the breeze, suddenly had its long, fluffy ears stand up uncontrollably, like the most precise radar, and then twitch violently.

A deadly chill, originating from the depths of its genes and the very essence of its soul, instantly surged from its tailbone all the way to its cerebral cortex, as if it had been targeted by an incomprehensible, dimensional predator at the top of the food chain.

It suddenly opened its sleepy, ruby-like eyes.

Then it saw it.

I see it! Downstairs, it's tilting its little face up, staring at it with an intense, unblinking gaze—as if it were looking at a "walking, top-quality Angora rabbit filet mignon"—filled with longing and pure gluttony.

Terrifying upright ape (Ultimate cute version).

"!"

Tippi, whose face was already full of gentlemanly manners and the wisdom of an elder, instantly lost all color, turning even paler than its fur.

Without even thinking, or even considering the action of thinking, it suddenly shrank its chubby, round body into a ball.

Then, with an astonishing, even physics-defying, agility that was completely incongruous with its obese size, it shot out from the other side of the clock tower like a white cannonball with a "whoosh" and disappeared without a trace.

"Ah...it got away..."

Looking at the now empty clock tower roof, Kanna wore a regretful, pitiful expression, as if she had missed out on a long-awaited delicacy.

"..."

Su Chen shook his head, somewhat amused and exasperated, as he watched this dramatic scene unfold, which was filled with the atmosphere of a "food chain".

He patted Kanna's fluffy little head soothingly:

"Okay, stop looking. That rabbit doesn't look appetizing at all; it's covered in fur."

"The main course is still waiting for us ahead."

He pointed to a coffee shop not far away, the only one in the entire gloomy town that still had warm lights on, with a sign decorated with cute rabbit patterns...

……

"jingle."

A crisp, nostalgic doorbell rang out, as if knocking on the door of another world, echoing through the quiet street.

Su Chen pushed open the antique wooden door, which was full of European style and made of heavy oak.

Then, he, along with Yui Yuigahama and Kanna behind him, all three of them witnessed that heavenly scene that they would never forget.

In the store.

Clean, tidy and spotless.

Each table and chair, crafted from solid wood, was polished to a gleaming shine, reflecting a soft light.

On the bar counter, rows of retro-style coffee siphon pots are bubbling with warm, blissful bubbles.

The air is filled with a rich, mellow aroma of coffee beans, a blend of roasted caramel and the sweet and sour taste of fruit, enough to intoxicate any weary soul.

The warm, orange lights (provided by backup power) enveloped the entire small shop in a dreamlike, gentle halo.

This doesn't look like a dilapidated coffee shop in a post-apocalyptic wasteland at all.
