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

Yes, that's perfect, it seems it really is useful.

"Long live the boss, meow!" Dumb Cat cheered, raising both hands while wearing a flower wreath.

Lu Nan was carrying Dai Miao as he walked and ate when he soon spotted two familiar figures.

Iori and Kohei were sitting at a barbecue stall.

Seeing the doll in Kohei's hand, you can tell that Iori must have performed well. At this moment, Iori is reaching out to beckon the two of them over.

"Hey, wanna grab something to eat? Kohei said it's his treat, these kinds of opportunities don't come around often." Iori, his mouth greasy, mumbled as he pointed at the barbecue and beer on the table.

Kohei was completely mesmerized by the unusual-colored lace in his hand, and completely revealed the infatuated look he had after attending the fan meeting.

"Okay, then we won't be polite." Lu Nan and Dai Miao readily agreed, thinking it would be a waste not to eat.

After taking a big gulp of beer, Iori let out a satisfied burp, tucked his hands in his pockets, and leaned back comfortably in his chair: "That was great! That was great!"

"Look at you, acting like that." Lu Nan was speechless. Why didn't you even wipe your mouth? "Dummy, don't you dare imitate this guy, you know?"

As he spoke, Lu Nan pulled out a tissue for Xiao Dai Miao to wipe his mouth, otherwise, given how Dai Miao liked to snuggle into his arms, the kid would eventually smear the oil on his clothes.

Iori took out a toothpick and picked her teeth: "What does it matter... By the way, don't you guys have this feeling too?"

Kohei, regaining his senses, asked with some confusion, "What do you mean? I just feel very happy right now."

Iori, biting a toothpick, closed her eyes in distress and said with some confusion, "How should I put it, it's just that I always feel like I've forgotten something very important."

"..."

Suddenly, the three of them looked up sharply and exclaimed in unison, "A health-preserving hot spring!"

Lu Nan was speechless: "It's all that crazy lunatic's fault for having nothing better to do. We seem to have completely forgotten about this."

Iori sighed, "Yes, after what happened yesterday at noon, I was busy gathering everyone together, so I didn't have the mind to look for that health-preserving soup."

"We're going back tomorrow afternoon, do we still have a chance?" Kohei was even starting to despair. Was this the end for them?

Dai Miao didn't quite understand why the bosses were so obsessed with this health-preserving soup; after all, he was just a little kitten.

So, Daimiao began to sneakily attack the few remaining barbecue items on the table.

"Judging from what you guys are saying, you're looking for that aphrodisiac soup, right?" The barbecue stall owner, a rather handsome middle-aged man, said after putting down his Lunanka barbecue. "I do recall hearing about that."

"Boss, tell me the details." Lu Nan snapped his fingers: "Another dozen beers, Young Master Iori, it's on the tab."

"You fucking..."

"Hahaha, you're on the right track, young man." The boss laughed and told the clerk to bring another case of beer. He said, "That one isn't hard to find, but it's well hidden because the sign for the aphrodisiac soup is wrong."

"Actually, the health-preserving soup is right next to the bamboo pond and forest soup, it's easy to find, it's not big and a bit unassuming."

"However," the boss said mysteriously to the three people, "I heard that the first customer to go in each day gets extra benefits. I don't know if it's true or not; I just heard it from others."

After the boss finished speaking, he walked away with his hands behind his back, whistling, leaving behind the three silent people and the silly cat who was having a great time eating.

Lu Nan raised his glass: "This stuff... it sounds a bit fake."

Iori raised her cup to him and said, "Hahaha, yes, yes, that makes no sense. Could it be some kind of spiritual energy from heaven and earth?"

Kohei also wore an impeccable smile: "That's right, that's right. Let's just look around casually tomorrow and then leave. If we can't find it, so be it."

The three brothers finished their beer in a friendly and harmonious manner, making quite a scene. However, whether intentionally or unintentionally, none of them mentioned the health-preserving soup again, which puzzled Dai Miao.

……

As night deepened and the bright moon climbed high into the sky, two shadowy figures sat up in the boys' room, looking like ghosts.

The shadowy figures slowly approached Lu Nan's bed, and then one of them decisively struck, pressing a white handkerchief firmly against the face of the person on the bed.

The person on the bed struggled a couple of times before falling into a peaceful sleep like a baby.

Iori silently put away the handkerchief, handed it to Kohei beside her, and then whispered, "It's a promise, we'll deal with Lunan first, and then the two of us will compete fairly."

Kohei gave an OK sign, then glanced down casually and was shocked: "Holy crap! Something's not right! This body shape is wrong!"

Suddenly pulling back the covers, the two were horrified to find that it wasn't Lu Nan inside, but Senior Ashou, who was fast asleep with his eyes rolled back.

"not good!"

"Nourishing Soup!"

……

Lu Nan walked along the road whistling. Judging by the time, the two of them should have realized that they couldn't take such a leisurely stroll anymore; it should be past midnight by now.

Those two idiots would never have imagined that they would later switch beds with Senior Shou, hehehe!

The number one health-preserving soup, I've got my teeth!

But then Lu Nan discovered a serious problem: because Dai Miao wasn't interested in the health-preserving soup, she had fallen asleep. So, without Dai Miao, Lu Nan had successfully gotten lost.

After all the planning, had he actually forgotten to consider his external brain...? Lu Nan's expression turned solemn; it was too late now, all he could do was...

Find an opportunity to kidnap those two bitches, then make them give you directions, and then jump down in front of them to enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot spring while those two losers kneel on the ground and wail in agony!

Acting on his impulses, Lu Nan silently turned around and began to retrace his steps, preparing to ambush someone from the bushes.

Iori and Kohei, you two better hide well for me!

Don't let me catch you!

Chapter 238 Still a Battle of Wits

Iori and Kohei were walking along the road when Iori suddenly looked up and gazed into the distance, as if sensing something.

No, something's very wrong. Something's really off.

I saw before I came out that Dai Miao was still resting, which means that Lu Nan came out by himself.

Based on my understanding of him, this guy is definitely lost now, but he has a keen eye for observation and has probably already followed the trail back.

I came back not to wake up the silly cat to be my tour guide, but to...

Kidnap them both!

Iori's pupils contracted sharply. Yes, that's definitely it!

The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, which is very difficult.

Iori thought about it carefully for a while, then looked at Kohei walking ahead and suddenly said, "Kohei, you should go by yourself. I'm suddenly feeling a bit sleepy, so I'll go back and rest first."

Iori spread her hands, feigning innocence: "I won't compete with you guys. Good luck to you."

After saying that, the guy turned around and walked in the opposite direction under Kohei's somewhat puzzled gaze. In Kohei's blind spot, Iori suddenly ran and rushed towards the target.

Giving up? Absolutely not! Let the trench's Tsunami remain as bait, hehehe! The final victor is me!

Although this route is a bit longer, it's absolutely safe! I must... be number one!

As for the other side...

Kohei withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward. Did Iori think he was an idiot?

With that expression, nobody would believe he was going back. He's probably already speeding up to take a longer route and overtake on the curves, and Lu Nan is probably waiting for him around the corner ahead.

But... that suits me perfectly!

For him, the health-preserving soup wasn't that important. It would be best if he could have it, but it wouldn't matter if he couldn't. The reason he was still here was to discuss a collaboration with Lu Nan.

The original plan was to drug Lu Nan together with Iori, then secretly wake him up and use that as an excuse to get Lu Nan to help him.

Lu Nan is Azusa's boyfriend, and Azusa is also friends with Mizuki Natsuyo-sama, which means... getting Lu Nan is equivalent to getting Mizuki Natsuyo-sama's autograph!

Thinking of this, an extremely intense fighting spirit suddenly erupted in Kohei's eyes. For Lady Mizuki Natsuyo... he would do anything!!!

Lu Nan secretly pulled his head back, somewhat bewildered.

Why did Kohei suddenly get all fired up? What's he imagining now?

That bastard Iori is quite alert. Could it be that I've been discovered? No way!

How could it be so well hidden...?

"Lu Nan?"

"??!"

The sudden sound startled Lu Nan, who almost turned around and kicked him, but luckily he realized it was an acquaintance and stopped himself in time.

Senior Shi's face is flushed; it seems he drank too much in the afternoon and the effects haven't worn off yet. He's probably a little drunk now.

"Senior? What are you doing here?" Lu Nan asked helplessly.

"I... I came out to use the restroom," Senior Shi said with a sheepish grin. "I'm heading back now. Lu Nan, don't take too long in your shower."

Taking a bath? What is this guy talking about?

Lu Nan nodded helplessly: "Yes, yes, senior, you go back first, I promise I'll be back right away."

"Okay." Senior Shi lifted his foot and walked in the direction he had chosen, his strides brisk and dashing.

Lu Nan couldn't stop him in time: "Senior...you seem to be going the wrong way..."

Lu Nan sighed helplessly. Well, with his physique, it's fine for him to sleep outside. Just be careful not to fall into the hot spring. Let's look for him together with Iori and the others later.

Lu Nan turned around and saw Kohei's round face. He instinctively slapped him, sending Kohei spinning to the ground.

"Holy crap! Why did you scare me like that?!"

"You bastard, you're the one who has no sense of proportion!"

Kohei rubbed his head, wincing as he got up: "I didn't mean to scare you, who knew you'd react so strongly?"

Lu Nan was speechless: "What do you want to do?"

Kohei rubbed his hands together, chuckled, and leaned closer: "Like this, like this, like this..."

……

Iori poked her head out of the bushes and looked around... Good, safe!

Iori stealthily pulled it out. He was now very close to the health-preserving soup, but the closer he got, the more he felt something was wrong. It was too quiet, far too quiet.

The original plan was to hear Kohei cursing at him, or at the very least, Lu Nan's voice. Why is there nothing?

Could it be that these two died together?
