In this anime crossover, who stole my module?

【lay down】

boo.

boo...

A few more soft sounds followed.

A small dish containing sugar cubes and milk, along with a three-tiered dessert stand filled with macarons, cupcakes, and cookies, appeared on the table as if by magic!

……

"..."

however--

Faced with all this, the rooftop was plunged into a deathly silence.

The worldview of Yui Yuigahama and others has been shattered.

It shattered into pieces, leaving not even a crumb.

Only Rikka Takanashi's eyes lit up when she saw this, and she walked straight to the round table without blinking.

Her delicate nostrils twitched slightly, as if she were savoring the fragrance around her.

When Rikka Takanashi smelled a rich aroma of tea, she let out a surprised exclamation that was hard to understand but full of excitement!

"Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo—!"

"cold!"

"I can smell it! This must be the aroma of tea brewed from emerald green leaves picked by the elves themselves and from the Moonlight Spring, coming from the other side of the invisible boundary!"

As Rikka Takanashi spoke, she turned to look at Ryo Natsume with a face full of excitement.

"..."

After hearing Rikka Takanashi's words, Natsume Ryo's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but open his inventory, which only he could see, to check it again.

--【green tea】.

Above, two large characters were clearly marked.

It's the most ordinary kind, the default green tea from the system, without even a brand.

A feast of the gods? Emerald leaves picked by the elves themselves? The Moonlight Spring?

This is nothing.

Natsume Ryo couldn't help but roll his eyes.

But when he saw Rikka's excited expression, completely immersed in her grand worldview, Natsume Ryo finally gave up on correcting her.

……

Forget it.

—Let her do whatever makes her happy.

Thinking of this, Natsume Ryo shrugged, pulled out a chair, sat down casually, picked up the teapot, and poured himself a steaming cup of green tea.

The aroma of tea wafted through the cool air on the rooftop.

Natsume Ryo blew on the steam rising from the rim of his cup.

Considering that the number of module owners I've come into contact with has already reached a considerable scale.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Natsume Ryo decided to make unified arrangements for these module holders.

At least let them get to know each other.

therefore.

Once this idea was finalized...

"Sit down. Die..."

Natsume Ryo gave a soft nod.

Subsequently.

Just listen.

squeak-

A soft creaking sound of a chair being dragged was heard.

When Natsume Ryo's gaze fell upon him.

Then I saw Yukino Yukinoshita take a deep breath, then walk forward with her legs, which looked even straighter and longer because they were encased in black stockings, and pull out a chair to sit down.

Although in Natsume Ryo's eyes.

Yukino Yukinoshita's taut, upright back still betrayed the turmoil in her heart.

Even so, Yukino Yukinoshita chose to face it all head-on.

Yukino Yukinoshita knew that running away wouldn't solve anything.

Since the world has already revealed its "abnormal" side, as someone caught up in it, all she can do is try her best to understand and adapt.

……

"..."

Seeing that Yukino sat down, a leader sat down as well.

Then everything that follows will naturally go much more smoothly.

Yui Yuigahama was torn between her inner thoughts and her own.

Finally, he pulled out a chair too.

I sat down carefully.

But as soon as Yui Yuigahama sat down...

Then he vaguely sensed that Natsume Ryo's gaze seemed to sweep over him almost imperceptibly.

Thinking of this, Yui Yuigahama's heart pounded wildly, and she was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

My subconscious instinct was to lower my head and bury it.

— He acted like a primary school student who had made a mistake.

The more Yui Yuigahama tried to lower her head and escape, the more...

—Because her body was so well-developed.

When Yui Yuigahama stood with her head deliberately lowered, her extremely full breasts, which stretched her school uniform shirt to its limit, formed an insurmountable, soft, and elastic "barrier" that perfectly blocked her view.

Let alone seeing the ground clearly.

Yui Yuigahama could barely see the toes of her white indoor shoes, unlike others who could use the method of looking at their toes to distract themselves.

Because once she lowers her head, her eyes will only see that "special part" of her body.

Now, even the last escape route to divert attention has been blocked, and she also has to worry about whether Natsume Ryo will treat her as a weirdo.

Yui Yuigahama's fair and delicate cheeks were instantly flushed with a light blush again.

Seeing this, Miura Yumiko and Ebina Hina exchanged a glance and almost simultaneously had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow, sitting down next to Yuigahama Yui.

This is the end.

—The first informal "round table meeting" consisting of Natsume Ryo, who is suspected to be a "god", and Yukino Yukinoshita, who has different thoughts, etc., was held on the rooftop of Soubu High School!

……

"Since you're already seated..."

Natsume Ryo put down his teacup, making a crisp sound that broke the eerie silence.

"I think it's necessary for us to have an open and honest talk."

Natsume Ryo paused, his gaze sweeping over each of the girls present.

"Everyone here has already experienced, to varying degrees, the unusual aspects of this world."

"Takanashi-kun, you've awakened your Sharingan."

"Yukinoshita-kun had her body swapped by a cat demon and nearly lost her life."

"And Yuihama-san, Miura-san, Ebina-san..."

Natsume Ryo's gaze lingered on the three of them for a moment.

“Although you have no direct experience, you should have noticed something unusual through various channels, or... through me.”

"..."

Chapter 93 Accidentally Witnessed the Secret of This World

As Natsume Ryo finished speaking, a subtle silence fell over the rooftop.

The air was filled with the fresh scent of rain after a storm.

just.

The frozen expressions on the faces of Yui Yuigahama, Yumiko Miura, and Hina Ebina had not yet completely dissipated.

Yukino Yukinoshita maintained her aloof demeanor. However, a subtle ripple stirred deep within her icy blue eyes, revealing that her heart was far from calm.

Natsume Ryo looked around, then picked up his teacup and gently blew away the rising steam.

"that……"

At this moment, Yui Yuigahama finally came to her senses, shrank back slightly, and timidly raised her small hand to look at Ryo Natsume.

"Natsume-kun...you...the abnormality you mentioned, you mean...you mean those things..."

"Like monsters or something similar?"

Yui Yuigahama's originally clear voice now sounded unusually timid.

"Um……"

"That's understandable."

Natsume Ryo nodded slightly, took a sip of tea, and put down the teacup with a crisp, light sound.

"So, you mean..."

"The world we... have always lived in... is not as peaceful as it appears on the surface."

"Is it right?"

At this moment, Yukino Yukinoshita regained her voice, forcibly suppressing the shock in her heart, took a deep breath, and her icy blue eyes flashed with rational light as she stared straight at Ryo Natsume.

"That's right."

In response to Yukino Yukinoshita's question, Ryo Natsume nodded slightly, giving an affirmative answer.

"In fact, this world."

"Like a seemingly calm lake."

"But beneath that lake's surface often lurks an unknown abyss."

"It's far more abnormal than you can imagine."

"Just like the world that ordinary people encounter on a daily basis. It's nothing more than that thin layer called daily life."

"Beneath that appearance, the bizarre and unusual phenomena are the deeper truth of this world."

"But no matter what your previous understanding of this world was."

"Now that you have all pierced through that facade called 'ordinary life'."

"It's like pushing open a door and glimpsing the scenery behind it; you can no longer pretend you didn't see anything."

"and."
