Crossover Anime: Randomly Setting Up a Stall with Binchotan Charcoal

The two towels in my hand, one new and one old, are equally precious.

"Big brother, this old towel isn't mine. I want to return it to its rightful owner. Can you help me find its owner?" Xiao Qingyu asked expectantly.

"Sure." Xia Tian patted the little girl's head.

"That's great!" Xiao Qingyu smiled happily.

Then she asked Xia Tian for paper and pen and drew a sketch, saying, "This is a good man who looks like this. Please help me find him."

Aqua glanced at it curiously, and her eyes widened in shock at that single glance.

"Pfft, hahaha, what did you draw? It's even more abstract than a stick figure." Aqua couldn't help but let out a cheeky laugh.

Xiao Qingyu immediately bristled with anger, glaring at Aqua, "Damn it, what do you know, you little brat? I drew a picture of a follower; good men like that are rare, I'll definitely find one right away!"

"Little monster, trying to compare your age with this goddess? You're the little girl." Aqua replied calmly.

"Alright, you two, shut up." Xia Tian shook his head helplessly. "Xiao Qingyu, the person you're looking for seems to be suffering from 3.8 disease. Let's go to the hospital to look for them."

@#@#

The hospital in the afternoon,

Summer collapsed beneath his feet, and the 'Demon Manifestation Array' obtained from Duogui Touna began to operate in the Feng Hou Qi Men style.

After 50 years, Xiao Qingyu finally met the old man.

The old man had long forgotten about Xiao Qingyu, and the towel he had given her on that rainy day.

"Sir, this towel has been returned to its rightful owner. Finally... Arigato~"

As Xiao Qingyu left the hospital, the loneliness on her face was impossible to hide.

The precious encounter I had.

Others may simply consider it ordinary.

"Let's go, Xiao Qingyu, we still need to test the sweet potatoes to sell." Xia Tian patted Xiao Qingyu.

Little girl, why are you so sentimental?

From now on, I'll go to school with Little Binchotan, so I won't be lonely when I have a lot of homework.

Little Sunny, unaware of her fate, smiled after feeling the warmth on her head, almost forgetting that she already had an older brother to keep her company and prevent her from being lonely.

"Big brother, I can help start a fire~"

Chapter 114 Summer's Husband's Letter, Lingzi's Remains

the next day.

In the early summer mornings, they would roast sweet potatoes and wander through the streets and alleys, going to the most remote places. Setting up a stall was a side job; their main business was collecting female monsters.

However, it seems he used up all his luck yesterday, and he gained nothing today.

In the afternoon, Xia Tian looked at the unsold roasted sweet potatoes and glanced at the time.

3:30

It was just the time when students got out of school.

With so many fragrant roasted sweet potatoes, it's perfect to sell them out at the school.

"Is Xiao Qingyu hungry? If so, let's go back and eat first."

Xiao Qingyu shook her head, patted her round belly, and said happily, "Big brother, I'm already full from eating sweet potatoes."

"Okay, then we'll go back when it's time to eat."

Aqua didn't have any objections. Anyway, sweet potatoes are quite delicious, and it's fine to eat them as a staple food occasionally.

There is only one high school in Bayuan Town—Jingwen Gutian High School.

Strangely, the school wasn't in the town, but in the suburbs, and there were no other stalls nearby, so there was no competition at all.

In summer, you can park your car under a big tree, set up your stall, and start your business on the spot.

The charcoal inside the stove was burning, and with a gust of wind, the fragrant aroma of roasted sweet potatoes wafted into the school. The smell spread quickly, and soon the entire campus was filled with the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes.

Natsume, whose turn to clean is today, is still cleaning the classroom. He's been in a good mood lately. Troubled by yokai, he's not only gained a yokai companion, Nyanko-sensei, but also found a friend who can sense yokai—Kaname Tanuma.

Speaking of Nyanko-sensei, I don't know where he went to steal some food yesterday. When he came back, his whole face was covered in black grime, and he seemed to smell faintly of roasted sweet potatoes on him...

Why does the fragrance feel so close?

As soon as Natsume looked up, he saw a stall suddenly appear at the school gate, with a bunch of students scrambling to line up to buy things.

I took a careful sniff; the smell of roasted sweet potatoes must be coming from the stall at the entrance.

Natsume's stomach growled, and he looked embarrassed. It was all Nyanko-sensei's fault for making him crave roasted sweet potatoes. He hadn't spent the allowance Aunt Touko gave him; should he go buy one?

The moment this thought arose, the aroma of the sweet potato seemed even stronger, and Natsume couldn't help but swallow hard as he smelled it.

"This roasted sweet potato smells so good."

After quickly finishing cleaning and telling his friend, Natsume turned and walked towards the sweet potato stall.

As you get closer, you can see many students eating them, each with one in hand. The fragrant roasted sweet potatoes are still steaming hot, and the sticky skin makes it clear that they are very sweet.

There was a very, very pretty student in front of the stall who started eating right away. The peeled sweet potato revealed the red flesh inside. Based on his limited experience, Natsume judged that the roasted sweet potato must be delicious.

"Little sister, how much are the roasted sweet potatoes?"

Natsume looked at Haruyu, who was helping with the cash register, and smiled slightly. This cute little sister already knew how to help her brother with chores.

"A person...a guest, 500 pills each." Xiao Qingyu greeted him happily. She had interacted with many humans today, and the person in front of her seemed very gentle.

I want four.

He still had 2000 dan of pocket money. Natsume quickly calculated in his mind that he would give one to himself, one to Uncle Shigeru and Aunt Touko, and one to Nyanko-sensei.

These sweet potatoes look delicious; I should bring them over and share them with everyone.

"A total of 2000 pills." Xiao Qingyu counted on her fingers for a long time before finally responding.

Natsume smiled, took out his money, and paid promptly.

The moment their hands touched, Natsume froze. The little girl's hands felt strange, icy cold... Most importantly, the Book of Friends in his arms seemed to move slightly.

He turned his head stiffly to look at his friend who was walking behind him, and asked uncertainly, "Tanuma, how many employees does this stall have?"

"Two, one is the boss and the other is the cashier."

"..."

Natsume's heart sank. He saw only the owner and two girls, one older and one younger, working as cashiers.

The next moment he turned to leave, abandoning the sweet potato, but Tanuma stopped him.

"Haha, just kidding, Natsume. Is the owner a family of three who's out setting up a stall?"

"you sure?"

"The cashier was wearing a brown kimono, I could see her clearly, don't worry, she's not a monster." Seeing Natsume's unpleasant expression, Tanuma quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I scared you."

Natsume was speechless and quickly took a sip of water to calm his nerves.

"No, that little girl is a monster!"

Nyanko-sensei's voice rang in his ears, startling Natsume so much that he spat it out!

Realizing what was happening, Natsume grabbed Nyanko-sensei: "Nyanko-sensei, why are you talking again?"

"It's okay, Tanuma-kun knows me anyway."

Natsume sighed, "Nyanko-sensei, are you saying that little girl is also a yokai? But how is that possible? Tanuma and the others seem to be able to see her."

“Look closely, look at the boss’s feet.”

Natsume's eyes narrowed: "It looks like a magic circle is spinning? What's going on, Nyanko-sensei?"

"That's a forbidden formation that allows you to see monsters. Under this formation, monsters can be seen by ordinary people," Nyanko-sensei explained.

"No, such forbidden techniques will attract bad luck! I have to stop the boss!" Natsume said anxiously. He knew the 007 yokai quite well; many yokai with bad tempers didn't want to be seen by humans. If they were displeased, they might curse someone or eat them on the spot.

"Provoking bad luck? What kind of monster would dare to provoke them?" Nyanko-sensei said speechlessly. "Natsume, take a good look at the boss and that blue-haired girl. They are extremely noble beings. You must be very respectful when you encounter them in the future."

"???" Natsume was completely dumbfounded. He had never seen Nyanko-sensei like this before. He would fight against anything, including mountain gods, if he didn't like it.

"Something's not right. There's something moving in the Book of Friends. If I listen carefully, it seems to be reacting to that boss."

"Huh?" Even the cat teacher was stunned.

Is Lingzi really that awesome?

They even dared to subdue a companion of the water goddess?!

"Impossible! Quickly take out your Book of Friends and take a look."

Natsume complied, but just as he took the Book of Friends out of his pocket, something unexpected happened.

huh~

The Book of Friends flew away from Natsume's hand in a flash and appeared in front of Natsume in the blink of an eye. The Book of Friends moved without wind, and a letter with dense writing stood up.

"To my beloved husband, Xia Tian..."

Summer reached for the letter, pulled it out, and was completely stunned after reading the words on it!

Chapter 115 Unsummonable, Multi-track Nine-Tails

The sudden turn of events left everyone completely bewildered.

Setting up a stall? What a load of crap!

The group packed up their stall and returned home.

(To Natsume-kun, I am Natsume Reiko. When you see this letter, please use the Time-Time Fruit to travel back in time to 60 years ago...)

Reiko's letter was on the table; Natsume and Nyanko-sensei had already crashed.

Tanuma looked at Natsume and then at Natsume. He had to admit that the two looked at least three-tenths similar, and their surnames were similar too. Could it be that Natsume's surname wasn't Natsume, but Natsume?

Toru Taki also looked at Natsumi-kun with surprise.

After a long silence, Natsume asked Natsume incredulously, "Um...you're my grandfather?"

"Don't shout nonsense, I'm not, I didn't!" Xia Tian stood up in fright and immediately denied it three times. Although he felt sorry for Xia Mu, he couldn't just claim kinship with someone else.

"I'm only in my early twenties, and I don't even have children yet."

Nyanko-sensei sized up Natsume, his cat eyes wide open: "I must say, the vibe is somewhat similar. Yesterday, I almost mistook Natsume's aura for his own and ended up barging in."

Summer has fallen silent again.

"I have a question... Xia Tian Sang, can you really travel through time and go back to sixty years ago?"

Natsume pointed out the key: if this can be done, then the grandfather's identity will be confirmed.

"Uh...it should be possible." Xia Tian thought for a moment, realizing there seemed to be more than one way to go back to the past: Kagome's well, Doraemon's time machine, Yuno Gasai's ability...

Upon hearing this, everyone stared at him in disbelief. Even Aqua widened her wise eyes, for time was a power that even the gods could not control.

"It's not that I can travel through time, it's that I know a way to travel back," Xia Tian explained helplessly.

"Mr. Xia, do you want to travel back in time?"

"This... why would I travel back in time? I have no regrets in my life." Xia Tian shamelessly denied it. He hadn't expected this to happen, but Lingzi had already offered herself up, so how could he refuse?

Speaking of which, Reiko is supposed to be a great beauty, right?

"..." Natsume looked at him with a puzzled expression, feeling that this person was lying.

"Grandpa, you really don't want to wear this..."

"Wait, I told you not to shout randomly."

Summer glared at Natsume. Why couldn't this brat know how to read the situation? With Taki there, how could I tell the truth?

"Think about it, I know all about your family's tragedy. If I could really go back in time, wouldn't I try to change things? At least I wouldn't let my daughter die young."

Natsume was taken aback; that made sense.

So Xia Tian Sang didn't travel back in time?
