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

But this man... I mean, a creature that was probably male, exuded a strange aura from head to toe.

A ferocious expression, scarlet eyes, a howl unlike any human's, and attacks that were absolutely insane from the moment it appeared...

Could this be a human?

If you ask a ghost that's being beaten on the ground, do you believe it?

Yotsuya Miko desperately tried to keep her expression calm and composed, determined not to let those two things discover that she could see them, or she might be finished.

Oh no... it seems the valve isn't tightening properly...

Buhou...

Yotsuya Miko turned her head: "Wow, the rain is really heavy..."

We have to pretend, pretend to the death!

You two little lobes have to hold on... otherwise, your master will be in trouble!

Lu Nan glanced at the shopkeeper, who was pretending not to see him, and a chill ran down his spine. Could it be... that the shopkeeper was actually completely dissatisfied?!

That's it... that indifferent expression, he's definitely not satisfied!

『A friendly reminder from Ms. Shuiyun at the gathering place~』

One or two stars constitute a negative review, and the reward will be reduced accordingly.

Three or four stars is considered a neutral rating; rewards will be issued as usual.

Five stars is a positive review; the reward will be increased accordingly.

Please strive to get a five-star review from your client!

Reminding me at a time like this is completely useless, you bastard!

Besides, what good are positive reviews for a gathering place in your other world?

Wasn't the beating severe enough? Has the boss not completely calmed down yet?

That being the case...

"Damn it! Use our strongest move!" Lu Nan roared.

"Now, boss?! Right here, meow?!" the silly cat replied loudly in return.

Lu Nan nodded silently. It was time to show the boss the bond that belonged to us!

With a flick of its little hand, the silly cat sent something flying into Lu Nan's hand—a large drill bit. At the same time, a small drill bit appeared in the silly cat's hand as well.

Superb Technique: Super Double-Layer Electric Poison Dragon Drill Fangs!!!

Ao□ Double Diamond! My partner!

Unrestricted combat means that if the goal is complete victory, anything is possible.

Lu Nan, in particular, is one of the best among them.

He's mastered things like gouging eyes, kicking eggs, ripping anus, stomping toes, and pulling hair; but when it comes to tricking people into a sword fight and then drawing his gun to unleash the Ashina Isshin style, it's nothing special.

Making a fight with someone tomorrow and then having a big showdown tonight is what this guy loves to do most.

So it's normal that the ultimate skill is to use a power drill with the silly cat to make the opponent unable to defend themselves from both ends, right?

All the hunters in front need to do is 'hehehe' and 'meow meow meow'.

The bosses back home have a lot more to consider.

For example, Yotsuya Miko is currently considering how to escape.

The situation has become increasingly out of control. Now the screams are more mournful than ghosts themselves. Staying any longer is no longer a question of survival; in most cases, even after death, one's reputation will be ruined.

When the Seventh and Eighth Masters come to collect the soul, they might be shocked and say, "Is this how people in the mortal world play these kinds of games?"

Miko Yotsuya slowly crawled backward, like a mouse that had wandered into a space city, looking quite ridiculous.

Once you get to that place... as soon as you leave that location, turn around and run!

Lu Nan and Dai Miao were already immersed in pure art, and the resentment and sorrow accumulated over the past month had dissipated into smoke along with their screams.

There's nothing more stress-relieving than touching a giant ladle.

Soon, accompanied by a mournful cry, the station ghost completely dissipated into black mist, leaving Lu Nan with a regretful expression.

Lu Nan, who was secretly complaining that the game was a bit too fragile, was about to turn around and ask for a five-star review when he could only see the girl's back, which was getting further and further away.

"Holy crap! Boss! Don't go, boss!" Lu Nan couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed the silly cat, and chased after them.

"Please give me a five-star review! Please! My cat is so thin from hunger, boss (ㄒoㄒ)!"

Yotsuya Miko didn't dare to turn her head. Seeing the mad ghost still chasing her relentlessly through the glass of the street, she was terrified. Her little face was tense, and her golden eyes were incredibly moist.

"Boss! Don't go, boss! How can I live without you!" Lu Nan waved his drill and chased after Yotsuya Miko, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Unfortunately, Yotsuya Miko had already slipped and disappeared into the street.

What devastated Lu Nan even more was that the gathering place of the unscrupulous capitalists sent a message at this time.

------

Hunting End Certificate

Task status: Completed

Meeting place compensation: Already paid

Client rating: ★

Boss's tip: 3 Federal Universal Coins

Shuiyun's friendly reminder: It was a terrible hunting experience. Hunter, please try again next time!

------

Lu Nan couldn't hold back any longer. Wasn't this just kicking someone when they're down? "I'll take your place, you old man, you... I'll take your place... I'll take your place..."

Silly Cat scratched its head in confusion, not understanding what was going on with its boss, but it found three yuan on the ground and hoped it could make its boss happy.

Seeing the silly cat proudly hand over three yuan, Lu Nan felt even more upset. Damn it, it was supposed to be three hundred, a whole three hundred!

Well, it seems I wasn't prepared enough this time, and I was too reckless. I must do my best next time!

Lu Nan patted the silly cat's head: "Thank you, silly cat! That was great teamwork. You truly are my best partner!"

The silly cat put its little hands behind its back shyly: "Hehe, it's just so-so, the boss is the best, meow!"

Lu Nan put the three pieces into his pocket and sighed, "It seems I won't be able to find a place to stay tonight. Since things have come to this, I can only go find that person."

As the rain gradually subsided, Lu Nan led the silly cat out of Blue Ocean City.

……

Yotsuya Miko ran all the way home, and it wasn't until she saw her front door that the immense panic completely washed away from her.

Only then could she lean against the door and feel alive again.

So, what exactly are those things...?

Miko Yotsuya covered her face with trembling hands, her expression turning into her usual defensive coldness due to fear and disbelief.

But then, thinking of himself in a safe place, his face softened into a pitiful, aggrieved expression, his eyebrows furrowed, and his lips trembled with excitement and from running.

Golden eyes stared blankly at their hands until tears welled up and fell onto their palms.

Crying

It was a dream...it was definitely a dream!

This is such a terrible thing...!

Seeing Zi take a deep breath and compose herself, she didn't want her younger brother and mother to see her in such a disheveled state.

Soon, thanks to her strong mental fortitude, Jianzi adjusted her mindset.

She opened the door and called out as usual, "I'm home!"

Kyosuke Yotsuya poked his head out from the sofa: "Sis, you're back! Why are you so late... Wait?! Sis, why are you soaked like this?!"

Yotsuya Miko forced a smile: "I lost something on the way, and it took me some time to find it. I forgot to bring an umbrella, and I got soaked like this by accident."

Kyosuke Yotsuya nodded: "Then you should go take a shower first, sister, so you don't catch a cold."

Yotsuya Miko sighed, put her schoolbag on the floor, and went into the bathroom.

All of this today... is a dream.

Right?

Chapter 5: Shima Rin is someone who could be my mother!

Yes, yes, yes.

Yotsuya Miko looked at herself in the mirror and nodded seriously. Perhaps the mushrooms in her lunch at the school cafeteria weren't cooked thoroughly, causing her to hallucinate.

She sighed, tied her long, flowing black hair into a small bun, tested the water temperature in the bathtub, and when it felt about right, slowly sat down inside.

Miko Yotsuya closed her eyes comfortably, trying to banish all those terrifying memories from her mind.

I can't believe this is happening in this day and age! A school cafeteria! I'm definitely reporting you tomorrow!

Splash...

A strange sound of water came from the tub. Yotsuya Miko opened her eyes in confusion and found that something seemed to be about to come out of the tub.

The position is very wrong; I'm too close to her!

Whoosh!

A disheveled female ghost emerged from a strange spot and stood very, very close to Yotsuya Miko.

The female ghost's expression was cold and stiff, as if the warm water could not warm her who had been dead for many years.

"Can you see me? Can you see me?"

The female ghost didn't bend down, but her neck stretched rapidly, and her head flew around Yotsuya Miko while asking questions.

Can you see it?
