In this anime crossover, who stole my module?

When faced with Yumiko Miura's hostile gaze, Yukino Yukinoshita naturally did not back down at all. Her expression did not change, but her icy blue eyes became even colder as she met Yumiko Miura's gaze head-on.

"I am simply stating a fact and proposing the most efficient solution."

"Now is not the time for you to throw a tantrum or act like a spoiled princess, Miura-san."

“In this situation, your pointless confrontational attitude will only drag everyone down and will serve no purpose other than to hold everyone back, Miura-kun.”

"you--!"

—Yukino Yukinoshita's words undoubtedly struck a nerve with Yumiko Miura.

Yumiko Miura's chest heaved with anger; she wanted to retort, but didn't know where to begin.

After all, Yukino Yukinoshita was telling the truth.

Faced with such a terrifying scene that would have driven an ordinary person to the brink of mental collapse, her behavior was certainly not respectable.

You could even say he was the most disheveled of all.

However, the two seemed to be natural enemies, unable to stand each other.

That's why.

At this moment, their gazes met in mid-air, neither willing to yield, as if invisible sparks were flying through the air.

……

"Alright, alright, Yumiko, Yukinoshita-san didn't mean it that way."

"Now is not the time to argue. Let's... let's listen to Yukinoshita's suggestion first. I think she makes a lot of sense."

Seeing this, Yui Yuigahama quickly stepped forward, grabbed Yumiko Miura's arm, and acted as a peacemaker, forcing a slightly helpless smile on her face as she tried to persuade her.

"That's right, Yumiko."

"Now, the few of us are probably... in the same boat."

"We should...be more united."

Ebina Hime followed closely behind.

"..."

In the end, Miura Yumiko finally couldn't resist being persuaded by her two friends, one on each side. Her tense body relaxed, she snorted coldly, and turned her head away, no longer looking at Yukino Yukinoshita's face that made her angry, which can be taken as her acquiescence to the suggestion.

Upon seeing this, Yukino Yukinoshita's cool gaze lingered on her for a moment, but she didn't say anything more.

This is the end.

The argument between the two finally came to an end.

The four people began to form a small circle.

……

"Then, according to what Yukinoshita just said."

"Let's tell each other what we know about Natsume-kun... and all those unusual things."

After finally calming down the two troubled children.

Ebina Himina broke the deadlock.

"I... I'll go first."

Yui Yuigahama spoke up.

"Actually... there's nothing special about my side."

"Before today, I had never experienced anything like this, and I always thought the world was normal..."

"It's just... it's just because of some... well, some accidents before, that I had a few encounters with Natsume-san."

"At that time, I felt that Natsume was... different from other boys."

"Although Natsume always seems cold and indifferent, he is actually a very gentle person."

Towards the end, Yui Yuigahama became noticeably embarrassed. Her voice became much softer, and even her gaze became somewhat unfocused. She avoided meeting other people's eyes and made the typical reaction of a teenage girl, lowering her head and scratching the faint blush that had crept onto her cheeks with her fingers.

"..."

Yui Yuigahama's reaction did not surprise Miura Yumiko and Ebina Hina.

After all, there was the matter of his friend's ambiguous feelings for Natsume Ryo.

They already knew it all along.

Even Yukino Yukinoshita had a vague recollection of this scene because she had previously witnessed Yui Yuigahama accompanying her mother to visit Ryo Natsume at the hospital.

……

just.

When the word came from Yui Yuigahama's mouth, Yukino Yukinoshita bent down, and her hand visibly paused as she fastened the buttons on her skirt.

This is the assessment that Yui Yuigahama made of Natsume Ryo at this moment.

Yukino Yukinoshita immediately recalled how she was trapped in that black cat's body last night, how a wicked and malicious person had teased her without restraint, and how her most sensitive areas, such as her chin, the back of her ears, and her buttocks, had been gently scratched with their fingers.

Even their bellies were subjected to blatant humiliation!

—That feeling of being completely dominated and powerless to resist.

The humiliation of being treated as if you were your own property.

Yukino Yukinoshita has never forgotten this.

Therefore, from any perspective, it is difficult for Yukino Yukinoshita to associate this word with that person whose personality can be described as quite wicked!

That guy was absolutely awful, okay?

And it definitely hides some unknown, perverse sense of humor.

Yukino Yukinoshita muttered to herself.

but.

Yukino Yukinoshita had to admit that Natsume Ryo's personality, however wicked it may be.

But Natsume Ryo really helped her solve a huge problem.

Remembering how she was cornered by that stray golden retriever, Natsume Ryo finally intervened and rescued her from the dog's jaws.

And to free her from that cat demon's body...

Thinking of these things, Yukino Yukinoshita felt a slight ripple in her heart.

"..."

but.

Yukino Yukinoshita's rationality gradually returned, and she shook her head, forcibly suppressing her chaotic thoughts and bringing her attention back to reality.

……

"My opinion is the same as Yui's."

"Yeah, I'm the same as Yui."

"Before today, I had never experienced anything like this, and I always thought the world was normal..."

Hina Ebina then explained her situation.

then.

After the two finished speaking.

It was Yukino Yukinoshita's turn.

at this time.

Yukino Yukinoshita had already turned around.

He recounted his experiences in detail.

From encountering the fearless black cat downstairs at the apartment building, to taking it back to the apartment out of pity, to the night before last when her body was suddenly swapped and her soul was trapped in the petite cat's body, she experienced a life-or-death moment being chased by stray dogs, and was finally rescued by Natsume Ryo, witnessing his conjuring of food out of thin air and even forcibly swapping her soul with the cat demon's.

—And omitted the details that made her feel ashamed.

After Yukino finished her narration.

Even though they had prepared themselves mentally, Yui Yuigahama and the others were still stunned after hearing Yukino Yukinoshita's fantastical personal experience.

"It's really turned into a cat?!"

"And was it Natsume who helped Yukinoshita turn back into a human?"

"Yes."

Yukino nodded slightly.

Yui Yuigahama and Hina Ebina's mouths immediately opened into an "O" shape, and they couldn't close them for a long time.

……

This time.

Everyone has finished speaking.

Naturally, it was Miura Yumiko's turn.

Yukino Yukinoshita, Yui Yuigahama, and Hina Ebina all turned their gazes toward Yumiko Miura.

"..."

However, when he noticed that Yukino Yukinoshita and the others were all looking at him, he realized that they were all focused on him.

Yumiko Miura's body stiffened slightly, and a strange and extremely complicated expression appeared on her beautiful face.

"Yumiko?"

Upon seeing this, Yui Yuigahama called out softly.

"I……"

After regaining her senses, Miura Yumiko pursed her lips, her eyes somewhat unfocused, clearly hesitating about something. Finally, she took a deep breath, as if she had finally made up her mind to recount the scene she had unexpectedly witnessed on the rooftop that day—because of Yuigahama Yui—where she casually wiped away the clouds.

She recounted in detail her experience of being attacked by parasites at a restaurant with her cousin and aunt the night before last, and how she was eventually saved by Natsume Ryo.

……

Yumiko Miura did not choose to hold back, but revealed everything.

Although it lacks the clear and logical structure of Yukino Yukinoshita.

When Miura Yumiko uttered the words "parasite," "cannibal," and "perfect disguise," the air in the storage room seemed to freeze instantly.

Yui Yuigahama and Hina Ebina were both stunned after hearing this, staring blankly at Yumiko Miura with disbelief written all over their faces.

Yukino Yukinoshita was also quite frightened by the sheer volume of information.

After all, although she already knew that "anomalies" existed in this world, she never expected that their manifestations would be so diverse, or that there would be a creature that could perfectly disguise itself as a human...

Just imagining the nature of such a creature is enough to send chills down your spine.

It's almost as if nature created a natural enemy specifically to eliminate humanity.

Therefore, when talking about this place...

Even Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but feel a chill.

After all, compared to those bizarre but at least not threatening too many people, these are "abnormal individuals".

Such a parasitic beast, capable of infecting a human host and disguising itself as a human, can easily infiltrate all levels of human society if it operates systematically.

—Even threatening the survival of the entire human society.

"Speaking of which, this is all the information we have at the moment..."

"There shouldn't be any other clues, right?"

Seeing that Yukino Yukinoshita, Yui Yuigahama, and Hina Ebina remained silent, Yumiko Miura had no choice but to speak up and remind them.

"Yes, that's all we have for now."

Yukino Yukinoshita, who was still pondering the issue of parasites, nodded slightly after hearing this.
