Crossover Anime: The Bull Demon's Road to Conquest

This place is like a feudal territory from hundreds of years ago, with clan chiefs like ancient daimyo, vassals composed of dependent families, adopted orphans, and trained... warriors.

This is just a feudal remnant living in modern society.

"Yes, everyone here is very careful, they don't even dare to breathe carelessly."

After going downstairs, Miyamoto Rei softly echoed, saying that she had not changed her surname to Hiiro like her mother, or rather, not yet.

"I don't know how I can contact the Lord..."

"Shh!"

Before her daughter could finish speaking, Kiriko raised her hand to stop her, shook her head slightly, and signaled to Rei not to mention Niu Kun in order to prevent them from being overheard. Rei Miyamoto immediately understood and shut up, no longer saying anything.

Knock knock~

There was a knock on the outer room door.

Rei glanced at her mother, and after seeing Kiriko nod, Rei went over and opened the door. She then saw a beautiful woman with dark hair standing outside the door.

"I apologize to Miss Rei and Lady Kiriko for disturbing you so early in the morning."

Upon entering, the black-haired beauty bowed respectfully to Kiriko, who, having been designated as the heir to the Hiiro family, could already be considered her lord.

"No, it's nothing, Miss Dragon Guard..."

Kiriko subconsciously stood up and spoke politely, but was interrupted by the respectful other party.

"Please just call me Protector of the Dragon; please do not use honorifics."

Although her actions were respectful, her words were exceptionally firm. The woman, whose name was... or rather, whose code name was Dragon Guardian, seemed to have integrated this sense of hierarchy into her very instincts.

"Alright, then, Miss Dragon Guardian, is there something important that you've come so late?"

Although she felt uncomfortable, Kiriko was Japanese after all, and after a little thought, she understood the other person's character and way of doing things, even though she hadn't lived in such a large family before.

However, remnants of the feudal era still exist in Japanese society. For example, Kiriko grew up in a yakuza family, where similar customs also existed.

"Lady Kiriko, this is the information and schedule for the upcoming events that my former master asked me to deliver to you. Also... starting today, I will serve as your bodyguard and personal assistant. I will be dedicated to serving you."

Hulong placed a stack of documents on the coffee table in the living room, then took a step back, knelt on the ground, and solemnly expressed his subordination to Kiriko in the dogeza posture.

As an orphan who received the ideology and training of loyalty to the emperor from a young age, the Dragon Guardian was already used to this chain of loyalty. In other words, if this chain of loyalty were to really disappear, she would be at a loss.

Unlike Rei, who felt lost and confused, Kiriko, having experienced more, quickly grasped the other person's true meaning, realizing that it was not simply about being a bodyguard or assistant.

Rather, it formally established the relationship between the ruler and his subjects.

"Yes, I understand. Since it is Grandfather's decision."

Gui Lizi nodded, offering no objection to the decision made by the head of the Feicheng family. Now, her priority was to find Niu Kun as soon as possible.

Although when they were together, Kiriko always complained that Niu Kun was like a monster who was always in heat, in the past few days, Kiriko has become like a daughter, constantly wanting to find Niu Kun as soon as possible.

After that, Hulong never left again, and even moved into the separate residence where Kiriko and Rei lived, which made Kiriko and Rei even more cautious in their interactions.

After all, even though the other party has pledged allegiance, you can't see into someone's heart, and some precautions are necessary before trust is established.

..........

"Is Senjougahara transferring schools?"

Hanekawa Tsubasa walked silently down the corridor. She had just learned from her teacher that Senjougahara Hitagi, who had taken sick leave a few days ago, had suddenly returned today.

However, upon returning to school, the only requirement was to complete the transfer procedures.

Hanekawa Tsubasa's impression of Senjougahara was similar to that of the others: a quiet young lady who was often sick and frequently absent from school.

There wasn't much interaction, but the impression was very good. She wanted to get closer but was also hesitant. With a soft sigh, Hanekawa Tsubasa felt that she probably wouldn't have another chance.

As she walked out of the teaching building, Hanekawa Tsubasa happened to run into Senjougahara Hitagi, who was about to leave. On impulse, Hanekawa Tsubasa quickly walked up to her.

"Senjougahara-kun."

"Hmm...it's the class monitor."

Hitagi Senjougahara couldn't recall the other person's surname for a moment, but fortunately she knew that the other person was the class representative, so she quickly addressed him as "class representative".

"..."

As Hanekawa Tsubasa approached, she hesitated for a moment, inwardly scolding herself for being too reckless. But the thought that there was probably no chance of them ever meeting again, and that they might become complete strangers in the future, filled her with a strange sense of loneliness.

"I'm sorry, I was a bit... a bit abrupt. It's just that... I heard that Senjougahara-san is transferring schools, and for a moment, well, I felt that as the class representative, I didn't get to know my classmates better, and I felt a little... a little guilty."

After speaking softly, Hanekawa Tsubasa suddenly realized that she wasn't sad because the other person was leaving, but rather because she felt lost in her heart because of the other person's sudden departure.

Senjougahara Hitagi was taken aback by his words, shook her head slightly in confusion, and then said gently, "Class representative, there's no need to apologize to me. On the contrary, I should be the one feeling guilty for frequently taking sick leave. I..."

"Hitagi, it's time to go."

At this moment, Mikoto, who had come with Hitagi to complete the transfer procedures, walked over. She glanced at Tsubasa Hanekawa and recognized her as Hitagi's classmate whom she had seen at the mall last time.

Like Hitagi, Mikoto will also be transferring to Misumi Academy. After helping Hitagi with the procedures, she will need to return to Mochizuki Academy to face her former classmates and teachers.

This was specially approved by Niu Kun, and even... Recalling Niu Kun's somewhat wicked smile at the time, Meiqin felt a chill. She felt that Niu Kun definitely didn't have such good intentions.

(Sorry, only one update today.)

Chapter Ninety-Eight: Purpose (3k)

Niu Kun, however, had no good intentions. When Mikoto, riding her motorcycle and carrying Hitagi, returned to Mochizuki Academy, she saw Takagi Saya, who had come to greet her with Nashita Oriha.

Mikoto and Hitagi exchanged a glance and fell silent instantly. Mikoto also thought of Saya Takagi's mother. Since Saya Takagi was that guy's familiar, then Saya's mother, Yuriko Takagi, probably couldn't escape either.

So, from the very beginning, their whereabouts were leaked to that devil by an insider?!

Seeing that Mikoto's expression was a little off, Saya Takagi's face showed a hint of embarrassment. She seemed to have guessed what the other was thinking. However, now that they were on the same side, she figured they wouldn't expose her.

In fact, Mikoto did have the urge to expose the other party, but the urge could not be transformed into a resolute decision. She opened her mouth, but could not say it. At this moment, Oriha rushed over crying.

"Mikoto, you're finally back?!"

Oriha's shouts alerted many other students. Kiba Mikoto was a popular young lady in the academy, and rumors had already started circulating about her not attending classes for the past few days.

Moreover, with Oriha, Saya, and Hitagi all being rare beauties, they naturally attracted everyone's attention. Mikoto, holding Oriha, felt the gazes of others and couldn't help but blush.

To avoid further attention, Mikoto quickly pulled Oriha away and led the others away. Originally, Mikoto had not gone to Mochizuki Hospital because she felt ashamed.

However, since Oriha and Saya came to greet her, it was clear that Chairman Mochizuki still wanted to see her. Filled with trepidation and guilt, Mikoto could only follow Oriha and head to Mochizuki Hospital.

"Mikoto, I'm so glad to see you're alright."

At Mochizuki Hospital, Tomoko Sagiri, Hikari Kenshin, and Sayo Kaname are all waiting for Mikoto's return, but...

Mikoto's eyes stung, and she almost cried out. But the thought that she could never go back to her former self made her feel even more pained and distressed, and she instinctively wanted to escape.

But she no longer belongs to herself.

Despite being unable to control her own destiny, Mikoto broke down in tears while embracing her former companions, but she couldn't betray her current 'companions.' She couldn't bring herself to say that the Takagi mother and daughter, like herself, were all members of that demon's harem.

This only made Mikoto feel more guilty and pained, which naturally made her cry with deep emotion.

Standing behind Mikoto, Hitagi had a different feeling. Before coming here, she and Mikoto had stopped by her house. When she left yesterday, Hitagi thought she would have a hard time going back, but she didn't expect that only one day had passed.

What made Hei Yi even more dumbfounded was that she discovered that the money and letters left at home yesterday had not been touched, which meant that her father was busy with work and had not come home.

After a moment's consideration, Hitagi, feeling helpless, decided to take the money and letter first, then use Togo Rika to pay off her family's debts, and then find an excuse to tell her father.

Seeing Mikoto and her former companions crying in each other's arms, Hitagi felt a strange sense of loneliness. Ever since she fell ill as a child, her mother had become addicted to a cult, and her family had been burdened with huge debts.

Hitagi seemed to have fallen into a state of utter loneliness, or rather, not entirely without friends.

Hitagi found it difficult to blend into such a lively scene, but things seem to have changed now. After being forcibly violated and possessed by her master, she no longer has to worry about debts or anything like that.

No matter how much she isolates herself, Hitagi still has to partner with other equally outstanding and beautiful girls, and gradually her originally lonely situation will change.

That is, you have a partner.

As Hitagi followed silently behind the crowd, Takagi Saya was also observing her. Because she hadn't met up with Ushikun, Takagi Saya was unaware that Ushikun's number of followers had more than doubled in the past few days.

The group walked through the hospital and arrived at the underground conference room. Hei Yi was also brought into the underground conference room, and it seemed that Chairman Mochizuki had already guessed something.

Chairperson Mochizuki, Fiona, and Yuriko Takashiro were already waiting in the conference room. The atmosphere was a little heavy, and Chairperson Mochizuki looked at Mikoto with a sorrowful expression.

"I'm sorry, Mikoto. It was my mistake and incompetence that led to you being captured by that monster."

Chairman Mochizuki sighed and apologized to Mikoto, who had followed her companion into the meeting room.

"No, it's not your fault, Chairman, it's just... just... sigh."

Mikoto shook her head and sighed. After composing herself, she sat down on the sofa with the others and continued speaking slowly.

"I've roughly figured out what Master meant by letting me come back this time."

"oh?!"

Chairman Mochizuki was startled and forced himself to suppress other distracting thoughts, focusing intently on Mikoto. Chairman Mochizuki and Fiona knew very little about the seemingly sudden bull-headed monster.

Although they had heard of many myths, legends, and supernatural events, such incidents were not common in Japan, and the authorities strictly suppressed information about them.

In addition, Black Label had previously focused more on cleaning up the criminal gangs in Hiroka City, so it overlooked some suspicious details that could have been detected before.

As supernatural and ghostly events become increasingly frequent in various places, Chairman Mochizuki, thinking back to Fiona beside him, naturally felt a sense of realization and regret.

"Can...Can Misaka speak?"

I've already guessed that Misaka might be under some kind of legendary, spell-like influence.

It was because of this sense of control that Chairman Mochizuki asked a question first, sounding somewhat nervous.

Mikoto nodded with a wry smile: "I came back this time on the orders of my master, and everything is naturally in the master's plan. What I can't say... I can't say either."

"Alright, then... may I ask, what is the origin of that... um, what is the nature of that being, and what is its purpose?"

Chairman Mochizuki asked cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Mikoto secretly curled her lips and said with a rather strange expression, "Well, that might be a fair way to put it. My master is a demon from the abyss."

"demon?!"

Everyone present was shocked upon hearing this. After all, even setting aside legitimate religious legends, the name of the demon, as a powerful villain in the enduring Western fantasy legends, is well-known far and wide, both in China and abroad.

However, none of them have a good reputation. Although there are occasional exceptions, they are really just isolated cases.

"Yes, the demon, the demon you're thinking of. The master's personality is... well... not particularly bad... no, I should say not particularly insane or perverted..."

Mikoto carefully considered her words, recalling her master's usual behavior in her mind. The more she recalled, the less confident she became in speaking.

Although Niu Kun, as a demon, didn't have any extreme plans to destroy the world, rule the world, or exterminate humanity or all living beings, to say he was a good demon...

Mikoto couldn't deny her conscience either. After all, Niu Kun was fond of violence, abducted women into slavery, killed people at will, robbed banks, and committed other crimes. No matter how you looked at it, he was a lawless madman.

So even though Mikoto was somewhat convinced by Niu Kun's words, she could only say that Niu Kun wasn't a particularly extreme madman; compared to the rumored demon, he was slightly stronger.

"Hmm, so that means... we can negotiate on certain things?"

Chairman Mochizuki understood Mikoto's unspoken meaning perfectly, and also grasped the unfinished meaning behind Mikoto's words: that demon was indeed not a good demon.

"As for the purpose..." Mikoto hesitated again at this point.

Then, with a hint of pity and lament, Mikoto glanced around the conference room before slowly saying amidst the women's puzzled expressions, "Our master is a womanizer, a complete lecher, and it seems he only has one purpose..."

Although Mikoto didn't continue, everyone present clearly understood what she meant. She wasn't just explaining Niu Kun's purpose, but also telling everyone else.

Niu Kun has already set his sights on them and plans to capture them all, then use evil magic to control them, just like he did with Mikoto.

Upon realizing this, all the women present changed their expressions, their emotions becoming subtle.

"Huh?! This...this...is this a demon that just jumped out of that erotic manga?!"

While the others were still pondering, the first to jump up was Oriha, who was also a pink-haired girl. As a minor idol, Oriha had naturally heard a lot of rumors in the industry, as well as the lewd ambitions of some fans.

Upon hearing this, Mikoto's brows fell. Thinking of the lewd night before, she felt like a lowly female slave being manipulated by Niu Kun, just like a pitiful victim in an erotic manga.

Even the lewd expression on his face when he rolled his eyes and fainted seemed quite similar. Thinking about it, could it be that Niu Kun really came from some terrifying and lewd demon realm?

No, Mikoto thought more and more that the rest of her life would probably be filled with darkness.

However, if I could be pecked by my master every day... it seems... not entirely impossible...

Shaking her head repeatedly, Mikoto quickly banished the strange and decadent thoughts from her mind, but a blush still unconsciously crept onto her cheeks.

"Ahem, regardless of where that demon came from, its purpose... is clearly something we cannot condone." Sagiri Tomoko stood up and said with a serious expression.

"Yeah, that damn devil, he beat me up pretty badly last time."
