Crossover Anime: Randomly Setting Up a Stall with Binchotan Charcoal

"No, no, I can do it myself."

"No."

"Yamete~"

.....

The next day at seven o'clock, Xia Tian woke up groggily, clutching her lower back.

He hated the damn timeline; who would have thought that Monday or Tuesday would jump to Saturday?

Every weekend, these women come over to stay overnight... It was only two days last weekend,

Even the donkeys in the production team wouldn't dare to operate at this frequency.

"Brother, don't we have to go to school today?"

Little Binchotan was pushed out of the room by Summer with a blank look on his face. He thought he would be late and ran to wake up his brother, but he did not expect to hear such news.

"Very good, Yukino, now I have a question: What day of the week is tomorrow?"

"Friday?" Yukino looked at Natsumi strangely as she got up and combed her hair.

"Saturday is followed by Friday???" Xia Tian didn't want to talk anymore. After three seconds of silence, she slapped her forehead. "Okay, I understand. Yukino, from now on, you have to tell us what day of the week it is tomorrow a day in advance, especially if it's the weekend!"

"By the way, Xia Jun, my mom said last time that she'd like to see you if you're free this weekend. Are you still setting up your stall today?"

Xia Tian was stunned. Was she really going to meet the parents?

Every man gets nervous in this situation, and Xia Tian is no exception.

He was not only nervous but also guilty, after all, Yukino was still in school, right... and she stayed overnight last night, right...? That's only legal in Japan...

But not seeing her isn't an option either, since the mother-in-law has already spoken.

"Yukino, what does your mother like? We'll buy some gifts and bring them over."

"Uh..." Yukino was taken aback by the question. "How about Natsu-kun makes some shumai to take back with him?"

"..." Xia Tian stared wide-eyed at his wife, his eyes conveying a 'you're kidding' expression.

Yukino felt embarrassed by the stares. Her mother had always given her the image of a strict mother, so how could she dare to observe what her mother liked? Moreover, her mother never showed any emotion on the surface, and she still couldn't guess whether her mother liked green peppers or not.

In the end, I found a basket, filled it with some fruit, and went out.

Following Yukino's directions, I hailed a taxi, and in the summer, I realized I should buy a car.

Yukino's family also lives in a villa.

At the entrance, Lady Yukinoshita had already come out to greet them.

At this moment, she was dressed in a proper white embroidered kimono, her jet-black hair was pinned up behind her head, and the years seemed to have left no trace on her face. Standing next to Yang Nai, they looked more like sisters than mother and daughter.

Beyond her stunning appearance, what's most striking is her aura. This mature young woman, exuding both elegance and a powerful presence, radiates an intense aura of strength simply by standing there!

Most people don't even have the courage to look her in the eye.

Even Yukino, who used to be too shy, ran over affectionately and took her mother's arm, saying, "Mom, why did you come out?"

"You little rascal..."

With her imposing manner subsided, Mrs. Yukinoshita helplessly revealed a rare tenderness. Her youngest daughter, now emboldened, was becoming increasingly unafraid of her.

Pushing Yukino aside, Mrs. Yukinoshita looked at Natsumi and said softly, "Mr. Natsumi, it's a pleasure to see you again."

Summer quickly handed over the fruit basket, responding in a friendly manner: "Madam, I apologize for bothering you, please don't mind the little bit of fruit."

Mrs. Yukinoshita nodded. She didn't care what was delivered; what mattered was the attitude.

She gestured for Yang Nai to take it, but her eldest daughter remained motionless, like a piece of wood.

Lady Yukinoshita frowned, and was about to take the fruit basket herself when she was stunned when she saw the fruit inside.

There was only one bright green cantaloupe in the fruit basket.

But the rings of cloud-like patterns on the skin make it look nothing like an ordinary cantaloupe.

"Mr. Xia, what's this?"

Yukino pulled Yukinoshita-san along and said, "Mom, let's go inside and talk."

In the living room, the mother and daughter kept their eyes glued to the fruit basket, their minds filled with a guess they themselves could hardly believe.

"Mom, this is the Snow-Snow Fruit. After eating it, you can have the power of ice and snow just like me. The difference is that I am ice, and this is snow!"

Yukino didn't keep anyone in suspense and introduced the Devil Fruit. She was filled with gratitude for the gift Summer gave her.

She knew her mother's life plan was to send her to a arranged marriage after graduation, but even if she were to be married ten times, the benefits would definitely not be as great as this Devil Fruit.

Listening to Yukino's words,

The mother and daughter stared wide-eyed, their entire consciousness blank.

Lady Yukinoshita stood frozen in place for a very long time before finally regaining her senses and speaking with great difficulty:

"Snow, Yukino..."

"You...you said it's this fruit..."

"This is the fruit that gave you superpowers?"

"Mom, would we lie to you?"

Yukino said with dissatisfaction, "Whether it's true or not, you can find out by eating it."

"Th-that..."

Mrs. Yukinoshita said repeatedly, "If you just eat it like this, you'll gain the superpower of elemental transformation, becoming immune to physical damage, and even able to control wind and snow like the Yuki-onna?"

Although there were guesses, no one expected that this was the magical fruit that gave Yukino superpowers.

Such a valuable item, and this youngest daughter's boyfriend gave it to her on their first visit?

If you didn't know, that's fine, but having witnessed Yukino's freezing ability, which, according to her youngest daughter, can even freeze the ocean in an instant, is comparable to a human nuclear weapon.

If other conglomerates knew of the existence of such a fruit, they would be willing to spend ten or even a hundred times more than the Yukinoshita family's wealth to buy it.

Mrs. Yukinoshita still couldn't accept it for a moment. Could her own daughter be more precious than this fruit? She gave one to her youngest daughter, and now she's giving her another one.

Is Yukino really that valuable?

"Natsu-kun, is this Yukino's betrothal gift?"

Yang Nai stared at the Snow-Snow Fruit, utterly dumbfounded. Shivering, she cautiously touched the fruit.

I do not know how long it has been.

She then revealed a guess.

"Huh??! Yes, yes, yes!"

Xia Tian was taken aback. This understanding seemed to make sense. Apart from the Devil Fruit, he didn't seem to have any other decent betrothal gifts.

“On behalf of Yukino’s father, I agree to this marriage.”

Mrs. Yukinoshita took a deep breath with great difficulty before finally tearing her gaze away from the Snow-Snow Fruit. It's no wonder she was agitated; anyone would be unsettled if someone placed something comparable to a 'little boy' in front of them.

She originally wanted to test Yukino's position in Natsume's heart, but now she's testing her again, you idiot! She's given her something like this, if this isn't true love, then what is?

At this moment, she would wholeheartedly agree not only with Yukino, but also with Haruno.

...At this moment.

Even though Lady Yukinoshita's vision and ambition far surpassed those of ordinary people.

I was still so shocked by Xia Tian's actions that my scalp tingled.

Is this...this Superpower Fruit...all real??

a long time,

After her initial excitement, Lady Yukinoshita shakily raised her head to look at Natsumi before her, cautiously asking, "Mr. Natsumi, how should this fruit be used? Should we eat it directly? Are there any taboos?"

"It's like eating it directly, but there's one thing: the fruit tastes terrible. How should I put it? It's like a can of herring that's thirty years past its expiration date. So you should only take one bite. The fruit's power is only effective on the first bite."

"How can you do that? Yang Nai, hurry up and eat the whole fruit!"

Mrs. Yukinoshita said decisively, "What if my ability isn't complete after just one bite? It's just a piece of fruit, even if it tastes worse than shit. Even so, I still have to eat it all."

How can you not even have the patience for such an extraordinary adventure that others can only dream of?

Moreover, to avoid any unforeseen complications, eating it immediately is the best choice.

“I…” Yang Nai was stunned for a moment, but dared not say anything under her mother’s stern gaze. Moreover, she did not want to refuse, and she also envied her younger sister’s ability.

As Haruno gagged, Mrs. Yukinoshita breathed a sigh of relief. From now on, the Yukinoshita family could rest easy. With superpowers, at least the family could be guaranteed absolute self-defense.

If she were to reveal it and withstand the pressure, her family could rise to a level she never even dreamed of.

An hour later, the two sisters exchanged their experiences on how to use their abilities.

The room in the house was turned into an ice cellar, and Mrs. Yukinoshita, who was shivering from the cold, did not hesitate to light the fireplace herself to keep warm.

In the end, he only said a few words to the two sisters and sent them to cook.

#@#

In the living room, Mrs. Yukinoshita continued to warmly welcome Summer.

“Mr. Xia, I heard from Yukino that your massage technique is also exceptional, and can even make people look several years younger. Would I have the honor of witnessing it?”

Summer's eyes widened in an instant. "That's what Yukino told you?"

Even if the relationship between mother and daughter had reached a freezing point, Yukino, you can't play such a prank, can you? Others may not know the side effects of the Double-Handed Technique, but do you, Yukino, not know?

"Well, I found out because I noticed this girl has been developing well lately. She was being secretive. Anyway, we're all family now, why would she be afraid of me finding out?"

“…” Xia Tian was speechless. Madam, have you misunderstood something?

"Xia Jun?"

"Uh...it does have that effect." Xia Tian spoke the truth. With his double-handed techniques, he could bring the dead back to life and make people look several years younger without any problem.

"Really? Then I'll give it a try?" Mrs. Yukinoshita's eyes lit up immediately. No woman can resist the temptation of being a few years younger, even when facing her son-in-law, she might feel a little shy.

"Okay." What else could Xia Tian say?

Mrs. Yukinoshita led Natsume into her bedroom with great efficiency, and before Natsume could stop her, she threw off her kimono and lay down on the soft couch.

Hey, hey, hey...

Do you islanders have some misunderstanding about massage?

They're all like this, like that...???

These fair, plump little feet, as lovely as white jade, and above them, pink scallop shells...

Summer unconsciously swallowed, silently recited the Heart Sutra, and began to move her hands around.

after an hour,

Yukino and Haruno carried a sumptuous meal out of the kitchen.

Yukino looked at Natsumi strangely. Natsumi was sitting upright and seemed very nervous. Was the pressure of chatting with her mother that great? Weren't they chatting just now? And how come her mother's complexion is so good in the blink of an eye?

"Mom, did you take some kind of magic pill? Your face is so red."

Mrs. Yukinoshita shifted her feet slightly, struggling to bring them together, trying to appear calm, and said irritably, "It's all your fault. The house is like an ice cave. I was warming myself in front of the fireplace."

"Oh!" Yang Nai didn't suspect anything and tapped his head sheepishly.

Yukino twitched her nose, looking somewhat puzzled.

Chapter 97 Natori Shuichi

a meal,

It ended in harmony, and summer quickly took her leave.

The two sisters opened the door to see her off, and Yang Nai looked at Xia Tian's retreating figure with a puzzled expression.

For some reason, she felt that Xia Jun's back looked a bit disheveled, as if he were fleeing in a panic.

On the way home, several of Lei's clones had already wrapped more than 2000 buns. Summer was in high spirits - they loaded the buns onto the tricycle.

"Tantan, Aqua, time for work!"
