I'm in a crossover anime world, and I've been transported to Hogwarts twice.

Genichi Hanyu chuckled softly, a laugh with a satisfied, magnetic quality that resonated through their pressed chests and reached Chiyo Yukinoshita.

He lowered his head, his hot breath spraying onto her sensitive earlobe and neck, his voice carrying an all-knowing teasing tone: "Your body is much more honest than your mouth, Chiyo."

"!!!"

These words, like the most precise arrow, instantly pierced through Yukinoshita Chiyo's feigned calm!

A surge of scalding heat shot straight up from the soles of my feet to the top of my head!

Her well-maintained and still charming face instantly turned bright red!

Her ears, neck, and even the delicate collarbone exposed outside the slightly open neckline of her kimono were quickly tinged with an alluring pink blush!

day!

She is Yukinoshita Chiyo!

She is the mistress of the Yukinoshita family!

She is a mother of two adult daughters!

She is a mature woman nearing forty, who should be calm and composed!

At this moment, she was like a young girl experiencing her first love, blushing with embarrassment because of an ambiguous teasing remark!

The stark contrast between this intense sense of shame and her body's most instinctive reaction made her wish she could disappear into a crack in the ground immediately!

She instinctively tried to turn her head away, avoiding Genichi Hanyu's gaze that seemed to see right through her soul.

However, would Genichi Hanyu let her have her way?

He reached out his other hand, his long, slender fingers exerting an irresistible force, gently yet firmly pinching Yukinoshita Chiyo's small, round chin, forcing her to lift her face and meet his gaze.

His gaze, like a burning flame, lingered on her flushed, peach-blossom-like face, admiring this rare and extremely shy charm.

The aggression and possessiveness in his eyes were even more intense than before.

"Since the body is already so honest."

Genichi Hanyu's voice is deep and husky, like the finest liquor, with an intoxicating allure and an undeniable strength.

"Then I'll have to make you behave your mouth."

Before he could finish speaking, he lowered his head and kissed Yukinoshita Chiyo without giving her a chance to speak!

"Well."

Chiyo's mind went completely blank.

Just as the two were lost in their kiss—

"Click."

The heavy sliding door in the living room, painted with ukiyo-e patterns, was suddenly pulled open without warning!

A figure, looking both travel-worn and capable, yet unable to conceal his exhaustion, appeared at the doorway.

It was Yukino Yukinoshita who had just finished dealing with the mountain of affairs piled up at Chaldea!

When her gaze fell upon the two figures entangled together in the center of the living room, the weariness on her face froze instantly, replaced by utter astonishment, which quickly transformed into a playful smile that mixed with amusement, understanding, and a hint of extremely complex emotions.

She leaned against the door frame, her arms crossed over her chest. Her eyes, which had inherited her mother's beauty but now gleamed with a fox-like cunning, scanned back and forth between Genichi Hanyu and her mother, who was disheveled, flushed, and dazed, and who was now slumped in Genichi Hanyu's arms.

A clear voice, tinged with a strong sense of mockery, shattered the suffocatingly romantic atmosphere in the living room: "Oh dear."

Yukinoshita drew out the last syllable, her mischievous smile almost overflowing.

"It seems I've returned at a very inopportune time."

"!!!"

The sound was like a thunderclap, instantly waking Yukinoshita Chiyo from her whirlpool of lust!

She suddenly opened her blurry eyes, and when she saw that the figure with a mocking smile at the door was her eldest daughter, an overwhelming sense of shame and panic instantly overwhelmed her!

"ah--!"

A short, sharp cry, filled with extreme shame and indignation, escaped from Chiyo Yukinoshita's throat!

As if she had been branded with a hot iron, she used all her strength to break free from Genichi Hanyu's embrace!

His movements were as flustered as a startled rabbit!

She didn't even care about her disheveled appearance and the fact that her private parts were half exposed. Her first reaction was to grab the plain cotton cloth that was spread on the low table next to her, which was originally used to catch flower petals and debris. She didn't care whether it was covered in mud or water stains. As if she had grabbed a lifeline, she pulled it up and wrapped it tightly and almost disheveledly around herself!

He tried to use this thin fabric to cover up the unspeakable shame and embarrassment of being exposed by his own daughter!

Her cheeks were so red they looked like they were about to bleed, and her eyes were darting around in a panic. She didn't dare to look at her daughter's half-smiling expression at the door, and just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into!

Genichi Hanyu was also somewhat disappointed by the sudden interruption.

He looked at Yukinoshita Chiyo's utterly humiliated and indignant expression, wishing she could disappear on the spot, then glanced at Yukinoshita Haruno at the door, grinning like a sly fox, and sighed helplessly, his tone tinged with annoyance at being disturbed:

"Knowing you've come at the worst possible time, why are you still standing here like a third wheel?"

Instead of leaving because of Genichi Hanyu's words, Yukinoshita Haru stepped in, her high heels making a soft sound on the rush mat.

Her mockery deepened, her gaze sweeping over Genichi Hanyu's open collar and her mother's alluring figure, which was wrapped in cotton but still couldn't hide her charm. Finally, it landed on Genichi Hanyu's face, and she spread her hands with a helpless tone: "Oh dear Genichi and my dear mother."

She deliberately dragged out her words, but her eyes instantly turned serious, and beneath that nonchalant smile lay an undeniable gravity.

"I don't want to disturb your good time."

She emphasized the word "good thing" with a meaningful tone, causing Chiyo Yukinoshita, whose body was wrapped in cotton cloth, to tremble again.

"But there is something very important that I must report to you immediately. It is of great importance and cannot be delayed."

Yukino took a deep breath, looked directly at Genichi Hanyu, and spoke clearly and solemnly.

226 The Little Actions of the Five Great Philanthropists, Biological Weapons

Chiyo Yukinoshita's cheeks instantly turned as red as a ripe shrimp, and even her ears and neck were tinged with an alluring crimson!

An overwhelming sense of shame overwhelmed her like a tsunami!

She used almost all her strength to break free from Genichi Hanyu's scorching hot arm!

The movements were so vigorous that the obi belt of the kimono loosened slightly, and the hem slipped down, revealing her fair and rounded shoulders and delicate collarbone.

She didn't even bother to tidy her appearance, nor did she dare to look at her daughter's probing gaze at the door. She simply lowered her head and fled from Genichi Hanyu as fast as she could, almost staggering, towards the sliding door leading from the living room to the inner room.

Her back view was filled with embarrassment, shame, and utter disgrace; there was not a trace of the dignified demeanor that the matriarch of the Yukishita family usually possessed.

Just before she disappeared through the sliding door, she turned around sharply and glared fiercely at Yukinoshita Haruno!

Her eyes were filled with a mixture of anger and accusation, as if her privacy had been violated: It's all your fault! Why didn't you come sooner or later!

"boom!"

The sliding door was pulled shut forcefully, blocking the view between the inside and outside, and also shutting out the suffocating awkwardness.

Only Genichi Hanyu and Haruno Yukinoshita remained in the living room.

Genichi Hanyu glanced at the direction where Chiyo Yukinoshita had fled in a disheveled state, then looked down at his own hand, which still retained a soft touch and a lingering fragrance, and shrugged helplessly.

He wasn't particularly annoyed by being disturbed; after all, Yang Nai must have come to him with important business. However, the atmosphere was undeniably subtle.

He slowly straightened his slightly disheveled sleeves before turning around to look at Yukinoshita, whose expression had returned to calm but whose eyes still held a hint of helplessness.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Genichi Hanyu's voice returned to its usual calm, as if the accident had never happened.

He casually walked to the sofa and sat down, his posture relaxed, gesturing for Yang Nai to sit as well.

Yukino took a deep breath, suppressing the complex emotions she felt from discovering her mother's private moments, and put on her professional, slightly weary smile again.

She sat down opposite Genichi Hanyu, and instead of answering immediately, she rubbed her temples before saying, "Isn't this all your doing?"

Her tone carried a hint of complaint, but it was more like stating a fact: "The resource mining in the Demon Slayer world before gave those five good guys a huge taste of profit; it was like opening Pandora's box!"

"Now that's great, they've gotten hooked and are constantly chasing me around like they're on their deathbed, asking me the same question every day: when will the next exploration of a new other world begin?"

She shrugged, her face full of annoyance: "These old foxes have completely whetted our appetites. They can't wait to find a new world to fleece us. They've been calling my communicator non-stop, constantly probing, pressuring, and bribing us through various channels. Their envoys have practically worn down the threshold of Caleb!"

Yuzuru Genichi didn't seem surprised at all. He simply picked up the tea that Yukino Chiyo had poured and was still warm on the low table next to him, took a sip, and said in a somewhat nonchalant tone: "If it's just this little thing, with your methods and abilities, it shouldn't be enough to give you a headache and make you come all the way to me, right? Haruno, this little bit of diplomatic pressure is just an appetizer for you~."

He knew Yukino Yukinoshita all too well. This woman's abilities in intelligence gathering, balancing interests, and dealing with various forces were unparalleled.

The greed and eagerness of the five philanthropists, though troublesome, were definitely within her control. At most, they kept her so busy she barely had time to breathe, but they didn't make her show this serious expression, which conveyed a sense of urgency and the need to report.

Upon hearing this, Yukino's professional smile faded, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness.

Instead of answering immediately, she took out a thin but sturdy black tablet computer from her briefcase.

"you're right."

Her voice lowered, carrying a heavy pressure, "If it were just about urging progress, I could manage, but this is the troublesome part."

She unlocked the tablet, quickly swiped her finger across the screen to bring up a file marked with the highest encryption level, and then handed the tablet to Genichi Hanyu.

Genichi Hanyu took the tablet and his gaze fell on the screen.

At first his expression was relatively calm, but just a few seconds later, his pupils suddenly contracted!

His brows furrowed instantly, and the nonchalance on his face vanished completely, replaced by a solemn expression that mixed shock, icy anger, and a hint of disbelief!

What was displayed on the screen was not a text report, but a series of shocking photos, data charts, and analytical briefings!

The background of the photo is extremely blurry, clearly indicating a highly confidential laboratory environment.

But the subject of the photo made Genichi Hanyu's heart skip a beat!

Those are some creatures!

They have twisted and mutated limbs, and their skin is unnaturally gray or dark purple. Their muscle tissue is abnormally swollen, and you can even see the gnarled blood vessels under the skin, like tree roots!

In some of the close-up photos, the creatures' mouths are clearly filled with sharp, densely packed teeth, just like those of a shark!

There are also some photos that capture the inhuman, violent, and hungry crimson light in their eyes!

That's the aura of a ghost!

Or rather, it's a biological experimental product that highly imitates the characteristics of cannibals in the Demon Slayer world!

Genichi Hanyu suddenly raised his head, his gaze like a blade shooting towards Yukino Yukinoshita, his voice as cold as the Siberian wind: "What's going on?!"

Yukinoshita met his sharp, soul-piercing gaze, took a deep breath, and spoke with a suppressed anger and deep helplessness: "As you can see, although there is no direct evidence, it is pieced together from the fragments of intelligence we intercepted and some accidentally leaked internal information."

She paused, seemingly organizing her thoughts, before finally choosing the most direct and chilling statement: "For some reason, some of the countries among the Five Great Philanthropists seem to have secretly launched and made groundbreaking progress in this world—they are actually trying to create something like ghosts!"

"Of course!"

Yukino's voice suddenly rose, carrying a strong sense of irony.

"On the surface, this has absolutely nothing to do with the Five Great Philanthropists. It must be the personal act of some crazy terrorist organization, some evil scientist, or simply an unfortunate biochemical leak. They will definitely try to absolve themselves of all responsibility. The official statement will condemn it, investigate it, and claim to know nothing about it and express deep regret!"

Her eyes were sharp as ice: "But you and I both know that without the massive resources at the national level, the top-notch research team, and the core biological samples and incomplete data brought back from the Demon Slayer world as a foundation, it would be impossible for this level of bioengineering, which directly targets the extraordinary existence of demons, to have reached this point, let alone produce these semi-finished products in such a short time!"

Yukino pointed to a grotesque photograph on the tablet showing a test subject bound in a special container, frantically slamming against reinforced glass. Her voice carried a heavy sense of powerlessness:

"Those who know, know. This is using knowledge and technology obtained from another world to play with fire, to play with a fire that could drag the entire world into the abyss!"

Genichi Hanyu stared intently at the distorted and grotesque images and chilling data on the tablet screen, his knuckles turning white from gripping the edge of the tablet so tightly!

A chilling rage surged and accumulated within his chest like magma!

Does he understand?

Of course he understands!

The five philanthropists, or rather, some of the forces among them who were completely blinded by the enormous profits of the other world, were no longer satisfied with passively waiting for Chaldea to open a new world after tasting the sweetness of the resources of the Demon Slayer world!

They want to take the initiative!

I want to possess my own controllable supernatural power!

The demon, a biological weapon that possesses near-immortality and immense power, yet seems to be countered by sunlight, a universally present element, undoubtedly became the most ideal and controllable research subject in their eyes!

They are attempting to replicate the power of the demons in this world, and may even want to weaponize it!

This is absolutely stupid!

Absolutely insane!

The horror of ghosts lies not only in their individual power, but also in their uncontrollable contagiousness, their extreme craving for flesh and blood, and their blood that can completely transform humans into monsters!

If it gets out of control, the consequences will be unimaginable!
