Crossover Anime: Miss, please don't do this, I still have a silly cat to raise.

"I said those things just to disgust him. I can't stand his self-righteous attitude."

Lu Nan tilted his head: "Do you think I'm being unreasonable, senior?"

Yotsuya Miko shook her head: "No, I was just curious."

She made a rare joke: "I thought there really were love stories between humans and ghosts like in TV dramas."

Lu Nan shrugged: "I've never seen a love story between a human and a ghost, but I've heard of a love story between a human and a dragon."

"Huh? Senior, you're kidding, right..."

……

Lu Nan and Yotsuya Miko entered the room and immediately saw the little dazed cat sitting cross-legged by the door. The little guy was holding two swords in his hands and staring at them seriously.

Lu Nan chuckled and opened his arms. Dai Miao immediately sheathed his knife and pounced on him.

This was agreed upon long ago.

"Boss! I missed you, meow!"

Lu Nan patted the little cat's head: "Oh, I missed you too, boss. You've worked hard. I'll buy you lots of good food tonight."

Iori leaned against the door and asked, "Is it resolved?"

Kohei also poked his head out: "Are you alright?"

Lu Nan put the silly cat down: "It wasn't hurt, I kicked it to death."

Iori smiled and said, "Wow, not bad, an exorcist master?"

"Screw you."

Lu Nan walked into the house: "I'm back."

When Banami looked up from the pile of cards, several small notes were stuck to her face: "Why are you so late? What were you two doing out there?"

Yotsuya Miko sat down next to Hanami: "It's nothing. I've just been under a lot of pressure lately, and my senior asked me out to comfort him for a bit."

Lu Nan sat down cross-legged as well: "It hasn't even been an hour yet, how could it have taken that long?"

"It's been a long time already," Yana muttered.

Hamaoka Azusa handed over a deck of cards: "Lu Nan, you're here at the right time. Here, I'll give you this good hand."

Lu Nan instinctively took it, looked down, and exclaimed, "Holy crap! Who grabbed my hand?!"

Lu Nan's lips twitched: "Sister Zi, this is the good hand you were talking about?"

Hamaoka Azusa raised her head, the small note on her face fluttering in the wind: "Of course it would be great, you can hit one and not make a sound."

They really didn't say a word; I was so angry at the terrible cards they played.

Lu Nan casually placed the cards in his hand face down on the ground: "Yotsuya Miko and I just saw that the town outside looks very lively. Do you want to go and have a look? We have to go back tomorrow afternoon. Don't we want to learn about the local customs and culture?"

Lu Nan blinked: "I saw a lot of interesting stalls, selling specialty drinks, taking 'youthful' photo booth pictures, and lots of other kinds of snacks."

Upon hearing about the specialty drinks, Ah Shi and Ah Shou immediately forgot all about their earlier agreement to drink less at noon and stood up immediately: "Let's go? I think Lu Nan's suggestion is right!"

"really!"

Iori, speechless, muttered, "So the seniors just want to go drinking, right?"

"I also saw some pretty girls wearing yukatas."

“Then I have to go.” Iori said earnestly, “I have to experience the local customs and culture properly.”

"Tch, you change your tune so quickly." Kohei shrugged. "I was just tired, I'm too lazy to go."

"Oh, so that means you're not really interested in the Lala Zodiac dolls that you can get just by covering a whole wall with balloons?"

"Brother Lu, you just farted, please tell me where you are."

"I really want to take some photo booth pictures too." Yoshihara Aina tugged at Chisa's sleeve: "Chisa, let's go take some together, okay?"

Chisa nodded helplessly, then the two of them looked at Banami together. Banami pointed to herself in confusion: "Me, do I have to go too?"

"Correct."

“Then let’s all go together.” Nana clapped her hands: “Lu Nan is right. We’ve come all this way, how can we not have some fun?”

"Oh!!!"

……

Once they arrived in the town, everyone quickly dispersed to find the stalls that interested them.

Lu Nan wanted to go with Hamaoka Azusa and Sesame Rin, but those two scumbag girls just turned their backs on him and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

While casually grabbing Iori, who was kneeling on the ground with a face full of resentment, questioning why there was no Shimakaze yukata beauty, Lu Nan encountered Kohei, who was sweating profusely and aiming at a balloon while shooting.

Lu Nan was somewhat surprised. Did the stall he casually mentioned actually exist? Could it be that Lala really is some kind of national IP?

Unfortunately, Kohei seemed to be a nobody in this area. He quickly ran out of guns and sat on the ground, letting out defeated howls. He looked particularly pitiful.

Lu Nan and Iori exchanged a glance and reluctantly stepped forward to help this guy get the doll he liked. Of course, it was Iori who did it, because Lu Nan was not good at using weapons and didn't even know how to shoot a gun.

Lu Nan crossed his arms and watched with a smile. As if sensing something, he turned around and saw the back of Yotsuya Miko, who was climbing the mountain alone.

Lu Nan raised an eyebrow.

"You guys play first, I'll go check out other places."

"Okay, okay... Iori, aim a little better!!"

"If you put any more pressure on me, I'll fucking shoot you in the head!!"

……

The path up the mountain wasn't particularly winding; it seemed to be a special trail, perhaps even maintained by someone, and probably some kind of tourist attraction.

Lu Nan strolled up the mountain with his hands in his pockets, wondering why Yotsuya Miko would suddenly come to a place like this.

Could it be that the little girl is traumatized by what happened today? We need to talk to her and offer some guidance.

I can't let this affect my grades, I said.

Chapter 235 Senior, Wait for Me

The road up the mountain wasn't long, and the scenery was quite nice, so Lu Nan finally had the mind to look at the settlement documents.

------

Lu Nan twitched his lips. Why has Sister Shui Yun become so wicked lately? Isn't her character a bit off?

Looking at the envelope and wreath in his hand, Lu Nan thought for a moment and decided not to open the envelope now, but to wait until he returned to Grand Blue.

As for the wreath… Lu Nan carefully examined the wreath in his hand. Something about its size seemed off. It didn't look like it was meant to be worn on his head, but rather around his neck…

Could it be that it shrank because of time travel? Hmm... very likely.

It couldn't have been because of Lieyan on purpose, right? Hahahaha, how could that be?

Looking at the familiar little flowers in his hand, Lu Nan happily put them on his head, put the envelope away, and continued to slowly walk up the mountain.

The final destination was a flat area, which seemed to be a viewing platform. The view from here was excellent, offering a panoramic view of the town and the hot spring resort.

A bench was placed nearby, and Yotsuya Miko was sitting on it. Lu Nan walked over and sat down next to her.

Yotsuya Miko turned her head: "What brings you here, senpai?"

Lu Nan looked at her and suddenly asked, "Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger?"

Yotsuya Miko was taken aback, then smiled helplessly: "Isn't everything over now? Don't tease me, senpai."

Lu Nan leaned back in his chair: "What's wrong? You seem a little unhappy?"

Miko Yotsuya placed her hands on her knees, looking down at the bustling town below: "Because I'm wondering if it's because of me that everyone is in this danger."

Yotsuya Miko lowered her head: "I don't know what would have happened if it weren't for you, senpai, so I... am very scared."

"The seniors, the female seniors, the male seniors, they are all very nice people, but it seems like being with me would put me in danger."

Yotsuya Miko slowly curled up, burying her head in her legs, and mumbled, "And Xiaohua, Mom and my little brother..."

She looked up at Lu Nan, her golden eyes trembling slightly, tears sliding from her eyes and dripping onto her arm: "Senior, am I a cursed person? Or am I no longer human? Like that person?"

Lu Nan didn't say anything, but reached out and took the small gourd pendant from Yotsuya Miko's neck, and then helped her straighten her hair.

Lu Nan wiped away the tears on Yotsuya Miko's face with his fingers: "You are not a cursed person, Yotsuya Miko. You have friends, you have family who love you, you have..."

Lu Nan paused, a little embarrassed, and said, "Having an admired senior proves that you are just an ordinary girl, an ordinary person."

Looking into Yotsuya Miko's eyes, Lu Nan said, "These eyes have simply shown you the possibility of seeing more things. Although none of us understand why right now, many stories have come about because of this. Perhaps when you're old, you'll have a lot to talk about when you chat with the elderly folks in your neighborhood."

"Besides, at least you were pretty impressive when you told ghost stories, weren't you? Even I was a little scared at the time."

Yotsuya Miko had forgotten how to shed tears; all she could see in her eyes was the image of Lu Nan at that moment.

Lu Nan snapped his fingers, and the old fox obediently appeared beside Yotsuya Miko. Lu Nan then pointed to the purple-gold gourd on her body: "And look, you not only have the gourd that Granny Sanzhi gave you, but you also have this old fox taking care of you, so you don't have to be afraid of those empty words."

Upon hearing this, Yotsuya Miko also reached out and touched the small gourd on her chest.

“If you’re still worried…” Lu Nan took out a stack of authorization forms and handed them to Yotsuya Miko: “You know how to use these. Just sign them and I’ll be there soon.”

"So don't let these thoughts distract you from your studies. You're at a crucial moment right now, you know? The key to learning is..."

Seeing that Lu Nan had just been a caring senior and suddenly turned into a nagging old teacher, Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but want to laugh. Although these words still sounded annoying, they were inexplicably reassuring coming from her senior's mouth.
