In this anime crossover, who stole my module?

"Although my motives were impure."

"But at least I was able to help, wasn't I?"

Meeting Yukino Yukinoshita's icy blue eyes, which appeared even clearer due to shame and moisture, Natsume Ryo seemed completely oblivious to the anger about to erupt within them. He waved casually, even in a good mood, with a faint smile playing on his lips.

This act of getting the better deal while pretending to be innocent only added fuel to the fire of Yukino Yukinoshita's already raging anger.

"you……!"

Yukino Yukinoshita was trembling with anger, and her usually aloof and delicate face was now covered with a blush of shame and indignation.

She wanted to prop herself up from Natsume Ryo's lap, get as far away from this awful guy as possible, or better yet, disappear from this world immediately.

However, the reality is cruel.

The strange experience that lasted for ten minutes and made her soul tremble had completely drained her of all strength.

"I...I can't get up..."

At this moment, her body was as soft as a pool of melting spring snow.

Aside from still being able to express his anger with his eyes, he found it extremely difficult to even lift a finger.

After several failed attempts, Yukino Yukinoshita finally had to accept this humiliating reality, and her body went limp again.

"It seems that until Yukinoshita recovers her strength, she will have to make do with lying here for a while."

"Who, who wants to lie down here!"

Yukino Yukinoshita was filled with shame and indignation, and she practically spat out those words through gritted teeth.

"so……"

"Yukinoshita-san, are you currently trying to get me to take you away from here?"

"While I personally have no problem with it, I can't exactly do what I always do and just grab you by the scruff of your neck and take you home like a cat, can I?"

"Yukinoshita probably wouldn't want to experience that feeling again, right?"

"You...shameless!"

Yukino Yukinoshita's chest heaved with anger at Natsume Ryo's words, yet she couldn't find any words to refute them.

Because she knew very well that with Natsume Ryo's wicked personality, he was capable of doing something like that if he could.

"Okay, just kidding."

Seeing that Yukino's icy blue eyes were about to well up with tears, Natsume Ryo decided to stop while he was ahead.

"Since you can't get up for the time being, you should lie down and rest."

After saying that, Natsume Ryo adjusted to a more comfortable position, allowing his thighs to better serve as a pillow, and then leaned back on the bench, gazing at the shimmering waves on the river.

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

Adhering to the principle of "out of sight, out of mind".

Yukino Yukinoshita closed her eyes.

However, this makes the senses more acute.

The refreshing and clean scent emanating from Natsume Ryo, the warm body temperature emanating through the thin fabric, and the steady, strong heartbeat...

All of this was clearly transmitted through their closely pressed bodies, making her already chaotic heart beat even faster.

Just then, Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly felt something popping up above her head again.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of warm palms gently covered it again.

"!"

Yukino Yukinoshita's body trembled violently. Her black cat ears, which had just retracted due to the calming of her demonic power, suddenly popped out again uncontrollably, even trembling slightly because of her tension.

……

After a period of time.

When Yukino finally had the strength to do so.

"Alright, now that the matter is resolved."

"Well, I have other things to take care of."

"Then... let's part ways here, Yukinoshita-kun."

"Of course, if there's another great opportunity like this next time, be sure to let me know..."

Without any hesitation, Natsume Ryo got up and walked back along the path he had come from, leaving unhurriedly, his back view as carefree as if he had no regrets whatsoever.

"..."

Chapter 125 Hiratsuka-sensei can rely on his student a little more; Miss Yukinoshita has arrived!

"..."

Yukino, left alone, got up and sat on the bench, her icy blue eyes reflecting the boy's receding figure.

Only after that figure completely disappeared around the corner of the willow grove did he slowly withdraw his gaze, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

……

On the other side, Natsume Ryo, who had left the riverbank, felt inexplicably better when he thought of Yukino Yukinoshita's embarrassed and angry appearance, yet powerless to resist because of her weak body.

Sure enough, even the most mundane daily life needs a little prank like this every now and then to lighten things up.

Looking at the time, less than an hour had passed, so he didn't rush to use the [/tp] command to return to the underground base.

There's still plenty of time on the weekend.

and.

Another figure involuntarily appeared in Natsume Ryo's mind.

That was Hiratsuka Shizuka.

……

Ever since.

After a while.

Downstairs from the upscale apartment building where Hiratsuka Shizuka lives.

Natsume Ryo's figure appeared quietly.

It's not that I'm worried about Hiratsuka Shizuka.

I just felt that Hiratsuka Shizuka looked like she was still hungover, trying to maintain a decent appearance but her actions were full of flaws.

That's... kind of interesting.

Since I'm in a good mood today, I might as well take another look.

Just treat it as...

Do one good deed every day?

With these thoughts in mind, Natsume Ryo leisurely bypassed the security system a second time and returned to Hiratsuka Shizuka's front door.

……

and.

At this moment.

Inside Hiratsuka Shizuka's apartment bedroom.

"For men, beer is the most reliable."

Hiratsuka Shizuka had collapsed onto the soft bed, pressing the cold beer can against her burning cheeks, feeling the brief moment of clarity brought by the coolness, muttering incoherently.

Thinking of the blind date I went on yesterday, who stood me up with such a cliché excuse before I even met him.

A nameless anger rose in Hiratsuka Shizuka's heart. He grabbed the beer can, tilted his head back, and took another big gulp.

result--

next second.

Ding dong——!

The doorbell rang.

……

"Who?!"

Just when I was already feeling agitated, the sudden doorbell ringing was like adding fuel to the fire.

Hiratsuka Shizuka's beautiful eyebrows instantly furrowed into a knot.

He casually tossed the beer can onto the bedside table before slipping on his slippers and walking impatiently toward the entryway.

She's not in the mood to deal with door-to-door salespeople or meter readers right now.

Whoever it is, I'm not opening it!

Hiratsuka Shizuka thought to herself.

result--

When I looked through the peephole and saw the familiar figure standing outside the door...

Hiratsuka Shizuka was stunned...

"N-Natsume?!"

"What's he doing back here?!"

The one standing at the door.

Not someone else.

It was Natsume Ryo, who had just left not long ago.

Just this time.

In Natsume Ryo's hand now lay a shopping bag filled with various cleaning supplies.

—It should have everything: garbage bags, rubber gloves, disinfectant, strong detergent, and air freshener.

……

Outside the entryway.

Hearing the sudden disappearance of the sounds behind the door, Natsume Ryo didn't urge them, but simply leaned against the door and waited patiently.

After all, given Hiratsuka Shizuka's stubborn yet soft-hearted nature, there's absolutely no way she would leave him standing outside the door.

as predicted.

After a fierce internal struggle lasting half a minute.

Finally, movement came from inside the door again.

Click...

With a soft click, the door lock was opened.

The heavy apartment door was pulled open just wide enough for one person to pass through.

Hiratsuka Shizuka's handsome and beautiful face peeked out from behind the door, her tone stiff and deliberately distant.

"What are you..."

"Indoor environment renovation".

"I would appreciate your cooperation during the construction period, Mr. Hiratsuka."

After saying that, Natsume Ryo bypassed Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was still blocking the doorway, and walked straight into the living room, which was as messy as a garbage dump.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

"You haven't been allowed in yet!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka realized what was happening, and a blush of shame and indignation instantly spread across her face. She quickly turned around to try and stop them.
