Crossover Anime: Randomly Setting Up a Stall with Binchotan Charcoal

That magical artifact exudes a powerful aura!

"Wow, I saw Lingzi before I even had a drink!" Sanxiao rubbed her huge, bull-like eyes in disbelief.

"Hey Bing, hit me and see if I'm dreaming?"

"Dream on, Sanxiao. Before you get beaten to death, I hope you can give me a satisfactory explanation."

"Bang bang bang~"

"Crackling and popping!"

Mei scored a third time, and Bing, who was about to rush over and hug Lingzi, was also dealt with.

"That contemptuous look!"

"Those heartless lips!"

"Hehe, that familiar force!"

Bing stared at Lingzi with infatuation, grinning like an idiot even as he collapsed, "It's definitely Lingzi!"

Natsume was speechless; his grandmother looked exactly the same as he remembered.

Still acting recklessly.

Kappa and Chuji were even more terrified when they saw Reiko, and the three of them huddled together for warmth, shivering.

One blow for every big monster! Lord Madara, Lord Sansho, and Lord Bingxiang are all defeated. This woman is terrifying.

(PS: It's been a while since I've asked for some flowers, thank you so much!)

Chapter 136 Hishigaki: I've come to summon you to play!

"...How is this possible?!"

Sanxiao's eyes were filled with stars, but it ignored the pain in its body, trembling with excitement as it looked at Lingzi in disbelief.

It, Nyanko-sensei, and C exchanged glances, all confirming their suspicions.

This must be Reiko.

Although it is unknown why Reiko, who had died, came back to life.

"Wait... Boss, it's you!"

Suddenly, Nyanko-sensei looked at Summer with excitement, recalling his words about time travel, and suddenly realized what he meant.

Natsume also realized what was happening and looked at Natsume in shock.

You really did travel back in time!

"So, you really are my maternal grandfather?!"

"I'm not, I didn't, don't call me that." Xia Tian jumped away immediately. He could accept having an adopted daughter, but he wouldn't acknowledge having a brat grandson.

Reiko shook her head with amusement. "Little Natsume, strictly speaking, you're not related to us by blood. We only adopted your mother for a period of time; it's just a nominal mother-son relationship..."

"Wait...wait, can anyone explain this to me?" Bing said frantically, looking completely bewildered. How could Ban know that she didn't? She was Reiko's number one subordinate, for goodness' sake!

"It all started when I first met Natsume..."

Summer briefly explained to everyone that he traveled back in time, and what he did was only briefly mentioned. In short, it can be understood that he went back to the past and brought back Lingzi from the past.

Sanxiao and the intermediate students were stunned when they first heard the news.

The boss is indeed the boss!

It's unbelievable that time travel is possible!

After hearing all this, Natsume silently stood up and bowed to Natsume in gratitude. Without this nominal grandfather, his mother might have died when she was young, and she wouldn't have lived to give birth to him.

"Thank you, Xia Tian-san. Thank you for saving my mother and bringing them here to meet me. Thank you, Xia Tian-san, and thank you, Grandma."

"So you really are Reiko..." Bing stared at Reiko with infatuation, and in the next instant, unable to contain himself, he pounced on her, crying, "Reiko, my Reiko..."

"Bang!" Reiko, who was prepared, threw another punch as a conditioned reflex.

"Hehe, this is all because of Lingzi's love for me." Even with a big bump on his head, Bing still smiled happily, with a lovesick look on his face.

"Bing, I always thought you were corrupt! Maybe I should just get rid of you." Seeing this, Lingzi felt a chill run down her spine and silently took a step back.

"Pfft, hahaha~" Xia Tian laughed speechlessly.

"This die-hard Reiko fan is hopeless." Nyanko-sensei muttered speechlessly, feeling ashamed for Bing.

#@#@

After a long silence,

Everyone accepted the fact that Reiko was 'alive,' and while the three great demons were at a loss, they were mostly happy.

"By the way, Natsume, I promised Santo that I would return its name to it. Do you have the Book of Friends with you?" Reiko asked, turning her head.

"Reiko, since you were able to travel through time, why did you leave the Book of Friends behind?" Nyanko-sensei asked with a puzzled look. "This mess has caused Natsume and countless other youkai to have no peace."

Natsume took the Book of Friends out of his waist pouch and returned it to its rightful owner. He was also curious about what his grandmother thought about this.

"At first, I started making the Book of Friends just for fun. But after meeting Natsume, my purpose for collecting yokai changed. Natsume said that in the future, Natsume will form a bond with a certain yokai and become friends with them through the Book of Friends."

Reiko paused for a moment, her gaze sweeping over the yokai around Natsume, even Sansho, who was standing closer to Natsume.

Xia Jun was absolutely right.

"Many of the monsters in the picture were actually added for Natsume."

Hearing Reiko's words, Natsume was stunned. Was the Book of Friends made for him?

Along the way, the Book of Friends has caused a lot of trouble.

But it was because of it that I got to know Sanxiao, Bing, Cat Teacher, and others, and we even became friends.

Reiko pulled out the piece of paper with Santo's name on it and then casually handed the Book of Friends to Natsume.

"grandmother....."

"Just call me Reiko, it feels weird that we're about the same age. This 'Friends' Book' was originally prepared for you, so you can use it from now on," Reiko said, waving her hand.

"Sanxiao, do you have any objections to this? If you don't want a different owner, I can give the name back to you."

Misaki was silent for a moment, then said, "I approve of Prince Natsume. Let's leave it at that."

In front of everyone, Reiko placed the paper with Santo's name written on it between her lips and blew the name out of the paper.

"Santo, in my name Reiko, I return your name to you. Please accept it, Santo."

Unlike Natsume, Reiko only used a tiny bit of her strength after returning her name, and stood up energetically the next moment.

"Ban, Sanshao, didn't you say there was a gathering? Count me in, no, count us all in. Wait a minute, I'll go find some more monsters."

.....

I am Hishigaki.

A monster living alone.

I have no friends in Hachihara. Humans can't see me, and other yokai don't play with me.

Every day I'm left watching the crowds on the street in solitude.

Until one day, I met a strange human.

Her name is Reiko, and she was the first human to speak to me.

Lingzi is a good person; she's willing to play games with me.

Although the loser has to hand over their name, I lost.

A name is like life itself to a yokai.

But I don't care.

I'd be very happy to have Reiko willing to boss around someone as useless as me.

But I felt even lonelier afterward.

There is expectation but no response.

A day passed, and Reiko didn't call me...

A month has passed, and Reiko hasn't summoned me...

Fifty years have passed, and Reiko has not summoned me.

Reiko, why? Why didn't you call me? You promised to call me if you needed anything. Have you forgotten me?

I was angry, so I went to find Reiko.

But instead, I met her grandson. Little Natsume was very gentle and returned my name to me.

But I'm not happy at all.

There was hope before, but now there's none left...

My heart felt even emptier.

Just as it was about to fall into darkness, a familiar voice rang in its ears.

"Great, Hishigaki. You're still here. Come with me to the party, I'll introduce you to lots of friends."

The one-eyed, large monster dressed in a kimono mechanically raised its eyelids, and what came into view was Reiko's big smiling face.

It had never seen Reiko smile like that before.

It’s so warm.

"Reiko, Reiko, come back!"

"Hey, don't just stand there, I have a lot of friends to invite, come with me."

"Really? That would be great."

Hishigaki raised his head, trying to give Reiko a smile, but tears streamed down his face first.

Reiko paused for a moment, then gave Hishigaki a hug.

Just like Santo, Hishigaki is also waiting for him!

"I'm sorry, Hishigaki, this invitation has kept you waiting for so long!"

Overjoyed and weeping, Hishigaki shook his head.

"Reiko, it's so... so wonderful that you invited me!"

Chapter 137 Dew God and Hidaka

The Forest of Seven.

"These peaches look delicious, so I won't be polite."

Reiko arrived at a shrine, casually picked up the offerings, and prepared to eat them.

"Young lady, it's best not to take things belonging to the gods. It will bring misfortune."

Suddenly, an old voice came from behind, advising Ling-zi.

Reiko was startled and turned around.

I saw a kind old lady.

The old woman smiled, took another fresh peach from the basket, and said, "Young lady, are you hungry? Eat this."

"Ah, I was just joking with my friend," Reiko said with a smile.

"I see. But you can't joke about the gods here."

"Huh? Why?" Reiko asked curiously.

"The Dew Goddess here is a real person. I saw her sitting on this tree when I was young," the old woman said, pointing to the big tree next to her.

Reiko glanced at the shrine teasingly, "You've been exposed."

Inside the shrine, a ten-centimeter-tall statue of the Dew God wearing an old man's mask stands.

He looked at Reiko with disbelief.
