In this anime crossover, who stole my module?

Upon hearing this, Natsume Ryo paused for a moment, turned his head, and looked at her with great interest.

When did I ever promise you anything?

"I……"

Jorogumo was speechless after being choked by this rhetorical question.

Indeed, from beginning to end, it was all her doing, begging for mercy; the other party never made any promises.

"It seems you haven't fully grasped your situation yet."

"I'll let you out when you've learned your lesson."

"And if you make me feel like you've lost your value."

"Then I don't mind spending more time taking off your eight beautiful spider legs one by one and making them into specimens."

After Natsume Ryo finished speaking.

The quartz wall that had been opened earlier was instantly replaced by layers of obsidian blocks that emitted a deep, dark luster, sealing it off completely.

……

"Your Excellency is wise!"

"To deal with this ungrateful, stinky spider, you need to use such swift and decisive methods, meow!"

"Let her reflect on her actions inside and learn what the true path of kingship is!"

And after Natsume Ryo finished doing all of this.

Upon seeing this, the cat demon immediately perked up and came over, raising its tail with the pink bow tied high, showering Natsume Ryo with compliments, its posture extremely fawning.

Natsume Ryo had his own reasons for this.

After all, with the vitality of a great demon, it wouldn't die even if it were starved for a few days, or even locked up for a month or two.

At most, he'll have a mental breakdown.

Moreover, as a general under Nurarihyon, this Jorogumo must know far more information than what she just revealed.

It would be too wasteful to squeeze out all the value now.

Perhaps we should lock her up for a while and let her temper develop.

She'll consider it again when her arrogant demonic pride has been completely worn down and she's become as pragmatic as the cat demon at her feet.

After all, Natsume Ryo has never been stingy with his time in this area; in fact, one could say he thoroughly enjoys it.

……

This is my thoughts.

To prevent Geng Xizi and Ying Xizi from having wild thoughts.

I saw.

Natsume Ryo casually waved his hand.

Bo! Bo! Bo!

Accompanied by a series of soft sounds.

A brand-new, extra-large LCD TV, a surround sound system, and a game console connected to several game controllers appeared in the center of the living room.

Following that, soft and comfortable beanbag chairs and snack carts piled high with various flavors of potato chips, cola, and juice also appeared.

"Alright, it's a rare weekend, let's stop thinking about those fighting and killing things."

"Why not relax, watch a movie, or play some games?"

As Natsume Ryo spoke, he found a comfortable position on the beanbag chair, picked up a game controller, and skillfully turned on the game console.

"Wow--!"

"A game console! It's a game console!"

Upon seeing this, Geng Xizi's eyes lit up instantly. Forgetting everything else, she cheered and pounced onto another beanbag chair like a fledgling returning to its nest. She picked up a controller and looked at Natsume Ryo with anticipation.

"Natsume-kun, Natsume-kun! What shall we play? What shall we play?"

"Is this... the latest fighting game? It looks so cool!"

"And this! This! Is it a racing game? I've only ever seen it on other people's phones before!"

"My lord! My lord! This little demon wants to play too!"

Seeing this, the cat demon quickly came over and rubbed its fluffy little head against Natsume Ryo's trouser leg, making a fawning "purring" sound in its throat.

"you?"

Natsume Ryo glanced down at it, then looked at its short, sharp paws.

Can you use a controller?

"..."

The cat demon froze.

Looking down at its own paw pads, then at the complex game controller in the human's hand, a clear look of bewilderment appeared in its icy blue cat eyes.

It seems... I really don't know how to use "meow"...

"Meow meow..."

Upon realizing this cruel truth, the cat demon let out a pitiful whimper, drooped its head, and looked at Natsume Ryo with a resentful gaze, as if it had been abandoned by the whole world.

Seeing its dramatic antics, Natsume Ryo found it amusing and stopped teasing it. He simply took a bag of dried fish from the snack cart and tossed it in front of the animal.

"Alright, go ahead and eat."

……

"Come on, Natsume-kun! Let's have a battle!"

Geng Xizi enthusiastically chose a female fighter character with an enviable figure and jumped around on the screen.

"you sure?"

Natsume Ryo raised an eyebrow and casually selected a male character who looked unremarkable.

"Of course! I'll show you what I'm capable of!"

"Ha! Take this!"

Games start.

Geng Xizi yelled and frantically pressed the buttons on the controller, and the female character on the screen immediately unleashed a gorgeous but chaotic combo.

Natsume Ryo held the controller with one hand, even taking a sip of cola in between, and casually pressed a few buttons during the intervals between the opponent's attacks.

On the screen, his unremarkable character simply sidestepped to dodge all the attacks, followed by a plain and unadorned uppercut.

"Perfect!"

"Eh--?!!"

Geng Xizi stared blankly at the huge "KO" sign on the screen and her character, who had been knocked to the edge of the screen.

"No, that doesn't count! I wasn't prepared just now! Let's try again!"

……

Second round.

KO!

The third round.

KO!

The fourth game.

KO!

……

"Waaaaah—! Natsume-kun, you're bullying me!"

After suffering a brutal N-game losing streak, Yuko finally broke down completely, threw down the controller, and angrily pounced on Ryo Natsume, trying to physically take the controller away from him.

Finally, after playing around for a while, Natsume Ryo checked the time and decided it was about time.

"Alright, I'm going to rest now. If you guys are bored, you can play other games."

As Natsume Ryo spoke, he put down the controller, stretched, quickly washed up, and headed straight for the bedroom.

after all.

Once you've formed a routine, you can't change it.

Even with his current physical condition, he no longer needs sleep to restore his energy.

However, maintaining human routines will allow him to better anchor his existence and prevent him from becoming completely lost in the face of omnipotent power.

then.

Ryo Natsume chose to maintain her regular schedule.

however.

Never thought.

As Geng Xizi watched Natsume Ryo's retreating figure, her eyes suddenly lit up. She then cleared her throat and said in a pretentious tone:

"Speaking of which, after playing for so long, I'm feeling a bit thirsty too."

"I'll go to the kitchen and get something to drink."

After saying that, Geng Xizi stood up lightly.

Yingxizi glanced at her, snorted coldly, and didn't say anything, but quietly followed her.

……

then.

Just as Natsume Ryo stepped into the bedroom and was about to close the door...

A graceful figure silently followed, extending a slender hand to stop the door from closing.

"Natsume-kun..."

Geng Xizi poked half her head out from behind the door, her slender eyes gleaming with a cunning light, and a playful smile playing on her lips.

Don't you think it's a waste of this beautiful night to go to sleep?

"How about we...do something more interesting?"

"..."

Seeing that Geng Xizi clearly wanted to cause trouble, Natsume Ryo was about to speak.

"Ah……"

A cold snort suddenly rang out from behind Geng Xizi.

Geng Xizi's body stiffened slightly, and she slowly turned her head.

I saw.

Yingxizi was leaning against the wall of the corridor, her arms crossed, and her slender eyes, which were exactly the same as hers, were now filled with undisguised contempt.

"W-How did you get here?!"

Geng Xizi blushed as if she had been caught stealing fish, and stammered, "What do you mean?"

"Why can't I be here?"

"Don't forget, I can sense exactly what you're thinking right now."

"I...I wasn't thinking anything!"

Geng Xizi quickly retorted.

"is it?"

Ying Xizi didn't believe it at all.
