Crossover Anime: The Bull Demon's Road to Conquest

However, after seeing some burning vines breaking through the wall, various rumors began to spread.

"There's no way to get up there in this kind of fire."

Sakuraba Kazuki, carrying two briefcases, couldn't help but frown as he spoke.

“This flame carries an extremely evil and ferocious aura; it is not a fire that was started in an ordinary way.” Iitsuna Noriyuki detected the unusual nature of the fire through his spirit beast, Kuganeko.

By this time, a number of police officers and firefighters had arrived, but because the countermeasures office had taken over, no other supernatural departments appeared.

Following instructions from the countermeasures office, police and firefighters began evacuating civilians to prevent further casualties.

"Then... we can only rely on Isayama's work."

Faced with such a raging fire, no one else could do anything about it, so Koji Iwabata could only turn his attention to Yomi Isayama.

"Well, I see."

Yomi Isayama nodded, and then, under Saeko Busujima's curious gaze, drew her treasured sword, Lion King.

"Go, Ran Honglian!"

With a clear shout from Izayama Yomi, a huge red lion suddenly appeared. Yomi then jumped onto the lion's back, and the lion leaped up.

"That is?"

Saeko Busujima asked in astonishment.

"That is the Lion King sword, a family heirloom of the Isayama family. It contains a Nue named Ranguren, which has the body of a lion and the tails of a group of snakes. It is an extremely powerful spirit beast."

"Ah."

Saeko Busujima, who was also from Japan, had naturally read some strange tales and stories, so they weren't that hard to understand. However, in her previous ten years or so, she had never seen so many strange and unusual things.

Chapter Forty-Four: Retreat

Undeterred by the flames and thick smoke, the enormous Ran Honglian easily soared to the fifth floor, unleashing a roaring wave that shattered windows and walls, helping Isayama Yomi find its target.

It was a minotaur engulfed in flames, with dark brown fur and a ferocious, savage appearance. At this moment, it was clutching a crumpled black leather bag in one hand and a burning vine in the other.

"Is it... a demon?"

Isayama Yomi was somewhat puzzled. The other party resembled the legendary Ushi-oni, but also seemed quite different. However, the legends of Ushi-oni varied from place to place.

The old vine demon was burned to death by Niu Kun, providing him with 100 points of soul energy and a bronze-grade artifact [Burning Vine]. Niu Kun was slightly disappointed, as he had thought the quality would be higher.

The wrinkled black skin was the shed skin of the heart after its evil energy had been completely drained. It was also a bronze-level artifact [Wolf Heart Shed Skin]. Niu Kun guessed that if the original black heart had been replaced, it would have been a silver-level artifact.

A powerful surge of spiritual energy swept past me.

Niu Kun looked up and saw a strange red lion with eyes all over its head floating outside the building, and standing on the lion's head was a beautiful girl in a black sailor school uniform.

Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down her shoulders, and her resolute gaze was fixed intently on Niu Kun. Her features were exquisite and flawless, and although her figure appeared slender, she was actually quite well-endowed. Niu Kun looked her up and down and quickly formed a model in his mind.

She's a pretty girl.

"A strange look in your eyes."

Izayama Yomi muttered to himself, then brandished his sword at Niu Kun and shouted, "Chaotic Crimson Lotus!"

Upon hearing this, the red-skinned lion opened its mouth and unleashed another roar wave at Niu Kun. Niu Kun flipped over and crashed through the ceiling to dodge, then quickly gathered up the leather garment and stuffed it into the leather pouch behind his waist. Niu Kun's fiery spiritual energy spread outwards from his body and would not ignite his clothes or belongings.

Then, Niu Kun, holding a fire axe in one hand and a burning vine in the other, lashed at the pursuing red-skinned lion. The lion was as large as an Asian elephant, but its movements were extremely light and swift.

Min dodged and then lunged at Niu Kun again.

Moreover, Isayama Yomi, who was standing on the lion's head, was no weakling either. As the lion pounced on Niu Kun, Isayama Yomi also swung his sword at Niu Kun. At this time, both sides had moved to the rooftop, with thick smoke and flames billowing below.

Niu Kun's fire axe, enchanted with flames, struck... or rather, smashed into the lion's face. With a crack, the handle of the fire axe broke off. The lion was also stunned by the heavy blow, but Isayama Yomi, who had leaped out from the lion's head, continued to swing his blade toward Niu Kun's neck.

Recoiling backward from the lion's momentum, the blade flashed across Niu Kun's chest. After landing, Izayama Huangquan gripped the knife with both hands, exerted force with his legs, and thrust the knife at Niu Kun again.

'Not having a suitable weapon is really not an option.'

A sense of regret flashed through Niu Kun's mind, but his movements did not stop at all. The burning vines rebounded like venomous snakes, howling and lashing at the back of Jianshan Huangquan, while the strange lion followed closely behind.

As Niu Kun dodged the blade, he swung his fist horizontally, but Isayama Yomi ducked and dodged it. Then, Niu Kun lashed the lion's face with the vine in his hand, which was biting him again. Following that was Niu Kun's rising dragon punch after a change of move.

As he sent the giant lion flying upwards, Niu Kun swung his vine back at Isayama Huangquan, who was returning. After another fruitless exchange, Niu Kun dodged and then suddenly laughed and said...

"Watch out, your clothes are about to catch fire."

Upon hearing this, Isayama Yomi was startled. Even with her strength, the high temperature and thick smoke around her made her feel very uncomfortable, which obviously seriously affected her performance. Although her school uniform was not made of ordinary fabric, it was not some kind of treasure that was impervious to water, fire, swords, or blades.

In the instant that Isayama Yomi was distracted, Niu Kun stomped through the floor and fell into the surging flames and thick smoke. Isayama Yomi wanted to chase after him but had to jump up and step on the lion's head again to rise into the air.

"whispering sound!"

After only a brief battle on the rooftop, Huang Quan's school uniform and hair were already somewhat charred, and the soles of her shoes were also somewhat melted. If they had fought any longer, they probably would have had to retreat. As for the monster that resembled a bull demon, Izayama Huang Quan was also unable to continue the pursuit.

After returning from the rooftop on the Ranhonglian, Isayama Yomi first told her companions what she had heard. However, they were not yet sure if the monster had really retreated, so they needed to stay and keep watch for a while.

As for Niu Kun, he was naturally not afraid of the fire. He went out from another direction and then activated his stealth ability to hide. He also sensed Saeko Busujima's presence.

"Um, is Ms. Busujima going back by herself?"

Isayama Yomi asked with some surprise, after a thorough investigation that failed to find any trace of the monster, the countermeasures office's representative planned to retreat, but at this moment, Busujima Saeko said that she wanted to go back on her own.

"Well, I wasn't of any help tonight, so I won't trouble you all any further."

Saeko Busujima said with a smile, holding her demon-slaying sword.

"But...."

"Don't worry, I still have some ability to protect myself. Besides, I want to carefully reflect on what I've seen and heard today."

Seeing that Saeko Busujima still insisted, the others could no longer persist. They could only offer a few words of advice before bidding farewell and leaving, leaving the rest to be handled by other departments.

After her new colleagues had all left, Saeko Busujima leisurely followed her instincts and walked into an empty alley, where she waited quietly.

A slender figure emerged from the other end of the street, quietly watching Saeko Busujima, the red light in her eyes growing ever stronger.

"You...don't seem to like me?"

Saeko Busujima was the first to speak.

"...Master, I am the only female slave you need."

Yuno Gasai murmured softly, as if telling Saeko Busujima, or perhaps trying to convince herself.

"what?"

Saeko Busujima tilted her head slightly, wondering where her master had found this little girl, who seemed even more insane than herself.

"Master, I'm all you need!"

When she repeated the action, Yuno Gasai shouted as she rushed toward Saeko Busujima, gripping a pair of kitchen knives and thrusting them forward. Saeko Busujima, facing Yuno Gasai, simply stared at her coldly, making no other move.

"Aren't you... scared?"

The sharp edge of the kitchen knife stopped in front of Saeko Busujima's chest, and Yuno Gasai asked with some confusion.

"Put in just a little more force."

Faced with Saeko Busujima's confident smile, Yuno Gasai's heart sank slightly. Without hesitation, she wanted to continue stabbing Saeko Busujima with all her might, but unfortunately, although Yuno Gasai really attacked with murderous intent, she could not muster the last bit of strength to stab.

"Do you understand? As fellow family members, we cannot kill each other. Besides, you can't kill me either."

Before Saeko Busujima could finish speaking, the scabbard in her hand suddenly sprang up. Yuno Gasai tried to back away, but the scabbard had already knocked away both of her kitchen knives one after the other, as easily as an adult bullying a child.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Saeko Busujima, and I am my master's... first witch."

Saeko Busujima slung her sword sheath behind her back, bowed slightly, and introduced herself with elegance and a touch of arrogance.

Yuno Gasai paused for a moment, then put away her hostile expression and transformed back into a well-behaved girl, smiling as she replied, "It's nice to meet you, Busujima-neechan. I am Yuno Gasai. Because of my grave sins, I was punished by my master to be a female slave."

Chapter 45 Black Label

"Have you gotten to know each other?"

At this moment, Niu Kun leisurely emerged from the alley, seemingly having witnessed the 'exchange' between the two.

"Hmm, Master, this little sister, hmm, she's quite energetic."

Saeko Busujima walked up to Ushikun and bowed respectfully before looking up and speaking, deliberately tilting her head to look at Yuno Gasai as she spoke.

Yuno Gasai showed no signs of her previous abnormality and obediently came to Niu Kun's side, snuggling into his arms without any fear. This earned Saeko Busujima's secret admiration, considering that it had taken her several days to truly accept Niu Kun and her new identity.

Niu Kun reached out and picked up Yuno Gasai, then asked about Saeko Busujima's identity and how she got involved with the government. Saeko Busujima told Niu Kun that after passing through the bronze gate, she regained consciousness and found herself in the Super Disaster Countermeasures Room.

Furthermore, Saeko Busujima also gained some memories about the Busujima family in this world, and the basic outline was actually quite similar to the Busujima family in Saeko's original world. (The preceding text has been slightly modified.)

"Of course, it's pretty much the same. That is, the labyrinth ruins copied your home and embedded it into this world."

Niu Kun wasn't shocked. He figured the other women must also have different identities. In fact, Niu Kun himself did too—he was a monster named Niu Gui, which didn't quite fit the image.

Saeko Busujima nodded slightly upon hearing this, but a sense of disappointment inevitably crept into her heart. In the end, the Busujima family here was just a false replica.

"Then let's go to your house. Your Poison Island house must be quite big." Niu Kun looked up at the sky. It should be dawn soon. Although he had the ability to hide, his activity during the day would be weakened.

“Of course, although I haven’t actually seen the Busujima family in this world yet, they should still be able to keep the master hidden,” Saeko Busujima replied with a smile.

Yuno Gasai, who had remained silent, kept the conversation between Ushiwaka and Saeko Busujima in mind, even if there were things she didn't understand, she just kept them to herself.

..........

The following morning, at Mochizuki General Hospital, in the secret meeting room beneath the morgue.

The haggard and withered Mochizuki Masamune will hold his final meeting here.

After the mysterious forces of the Three Gods Storm abducted him three years ago and there has been no news of him since, Mochizuki Masamune had already given up hope.

Nine years ago, during a terrorist attack targeting an international medical conference, Mikami Arashi tried to protect Mochizuki Masamune's son, Mochizuki Ryu, but was blown to pieces by a bomb. However, Mochizuki Ryu's head was also severely injured and he suffered brain death.

Under Dr. Mochizuki's surgery, Ryu's heart and limbs were transplanted to Arashi, allowing Arashi to survive. Mochizuki Masamune then placed all his hopes on the three gods of Arashi.

Mochizuki Masamune hoped to secretly build an underground organization to eradicate evil, but soon after its formation, he unexpectedly discovered that this world... also harbored supernatural beings.

This gave Mochizuki Masamune a new idea, because after the surgery, he actually saw the figure of his son, Mochizuki Ryu, in Mikami Arashi's body, which he had previously thought was just a fantasy caused by his excessive longing.

But what if Mochizuki Ryu's soul still resides within the Three Gods Storm? Would there still be a chance for resurrection?!

So Mochizuki Masamune changed his target to the Black Label, targeting monsters and vengeful spirits that secretly attack humans, hoping to gain more insights. But before Mochizuki Masamune could realize his wish, the Three Gods Storm was taken away by an unknown force.

No matter how hard Mochizuki Masamune searched, he could not find the Three Gods of Arashi. This was a huge blow to Mochizuki Masamune, causing his already poor health to deteriorate rapidly, and now he had to face the situation of making arrangements for his affairs after his death.

"So... from now on, cough cough, the chairman of Mochizuki General Hospital... cough cough, will be my... cough cough, my younger sister Takashiro Yuriko."

After speaking, Mochizuki Masamune looked at Takagi Yuriko with a complicated expression. His younger sister had been rebellious since childhood. In her early years, she went to Wall Street in the United States to make a living. Later, she married a guy with unrealistic fantasies and changed her surname to Takagi.

However, unexpectedly, that guy was assassinated not long ago. His sister contacted him in order to protect herself. After all, he was her only remaining family member, so Mochizuki Masamune chose to accept Takashiro Yuriko.

Moreover, knowing that his days were numbered, Mochizuki Masamune had to make timely arrangements for the hospital and the underground organization Black Label. After some communication and investigation, although Takashiro Yuriko was not strong enough in his eyes, she was shrewd and the most suitable successor.

In terms of bloodline, Yuriko Takashiro is the closest heir. So after the public handover of hospital ownership, this underground handover ceremony took place, and this time the handover involved a black label.

Yuriko Takashiro... Well, even though she had been in this world for several hours, she was still a little dizzy. How did she end up with Mochizuki as her original surname, and now she had an unfamiliar older brother?

Now she's even being asked to inherit a hospital, and... an underground armed force, while also carrying on the ideals of that stranger, her brother, to pick up a scalpel and cut away the cancer from this city.

Despite not understanding, Yuriko Takagi, being shrewd, naturally understood the importance of this legacy. Although it was fraught with danger, it seemed that neither the previous apocalypse nor her journey to the Demon Realm with Niu Kun had been safe.

Fortunately, Yuriko's daughter, Saya Takagi, is with her. In Yuriko's newly added memories, as proof of inheriting her brother Masamune Mochizuki's ideals, she will also add her only daughter to the black label and perform surgery to remove the city's tumor.

After several hours of memory integration and readjusting to her new home in Takashiro, Yuriko Takashiro brought her daughter, Saya Takashiro, to Mochizuki General Hospital for the scheduled meeting.

Even to the worldly-wise Yuriko Takagi, Mochizuki General Hospital was a very good high-end hospital with a promising future. What surprised Yuriko even more was where her unfamiliar brother had recruited so many beautiful and capable women.

Of course, none of that matters. (After all, it's because the author loves writing it and the readers love reading it.)

Standing next to Mochizuki Masamune is a blonde beauty named Fiona. She is the hospital director and also the strategist for Black Label. Since her breasts are not very large, I won't go into too much detail.

Sitting on the sofa below are the current members of the Black Label. The members of Group Zero are three mature women. There is a cool anesthesiologist named Kenko, but she is actually a remote support unit. She has short, bright pink hair and eyes, and is beautiful and dashing, but unfortunately, her chest is not particularly large.

Then there's Tomoko Sagiri, who usually dyes her hair to cover it up. She's tall, almost as tall as Shizuka Marikawa, and her bust is even larger than Shizuka Marikawa's, making her a busty beauty. Besides working as a surgeon in a hospital, she's also a close-quarters fighter wielding a long sword.

The third is a large-breasted nurse named Xiaoye Jiu. Despite her seemingly delicate appearance, she possesses an extremely strong and resilient physique, capable of carrying heavy machine guns and even firing machine guns. She is also a busty beauty.
