Anime Crossover: These Heroines Are All Abnormal

Page 7

Hiiragi Kanna didn't experience her friend's emotional journey, so she couldn't empathize with her. For Nanao Akane, the feeling of fulfillment and happiness when her inner prayers and wishes were fulfilled, from despair to hope, was something she would never forget in her lifetime.

She wants to see that person!

“I don’t know, I don’t know his name,” Touka Tohsaka said somewhat awkwardly, having forgotten to ask. “However, he is a student at our school.”

But the boy didn't seem like the right person to her; he looked quite ordinary, and she was terrified.

As Akane Nanao pressed for more information, the sound of an interview being conducted on television was suddenly amplified, drawing her attention.

"It's a ghost!!!"

A girl on the screen screamed, "It must be the ghost of the old school building! I went to the old school building last night, and I saw a ghost with my own eyes! And those incredible school legends, they're all true!! Only a ghost could do something like this!"

The hot girl was very excited, as if she had discovered a great truth. The three girls, including Nanao Akane, fell silent. Whether it was true or not, the horror of the old school building was about to reach a new level.

Now that people have died there, who would dare to go?

The reporter, though embarrassed, politely persuaded the hot girl to leave. "That's what she said. As for whether the case was caused by the ghost of the old school building, well, I don't think the police will consider that."

"Based on the current progress of the investigation, it was entirely an accident. The stray dog ​​attack incident... Let's interview the next student. Please wait a moment!" Mu Xiaoxiao, who was passing by, was stopped by the reporter.

"What you saw might have been a ghost," Hiiragi Kanna said, trying to ease the tension.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Touka Tohsaka stared intently at the television screen and pointed at it.

"It's him."

"what?"

"The other person present was him."

The two girls quickly turned their heads and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face on the TV. They were both stunned.

The first image that flashed through Hiiragi Kanna's mind was Mu Xiaoxiao's hurried departure from the rooftop. At that time, he said he had something urgent to say, "Excuse me, can I interview you? About this incident..."

The reporter's voice-over.

"Coach Donggang, you died so tragically—" Mu Xiaoxiao appeared on the screen, heartbroken. "I'm sorry, I couldn't control my emotions."

"It's okay, I understand. Were you close to the deceased?"

"Unfamiliar."

"..."

"Although I'm not a member of the baseball club, I've heard his name a lot. He's really a great coach, who knows..."

Mu Xiaoxiao covered her face with her hands, "Coach Donggang, although you are dead, you will live forever in our hearts."

The infirmary was completely silent.

Watching Mu Xiaoxiao on the screen wiping her eyes and shedding crocodile tears, completely acting like a drama queen, Hiiragi Kanna's inner voice screamed—Mu Xiaoxiao, what are you doing!

Touka Tohsaka was stunned. "He was the one in the old school building back then, but he doesn't seem like the person you're looking for, does he?"

Akane Nanao couldn't help but chuckle, almost bursting out laughing. This was the first time the girl had smiled since experiencing emotional trauma, and her mood inexplicably lightened. "No, he's the one I'm looking for. Thank you, Tohsaka-senpai. If it weren't for you, this guy would definitely keep pretending to be stupid."

She hummed softly.

Hiiragi Kana, who was standing nearby, suddenly noticed that Akane's eyes had a special light in them.

It seems she's changed a little.

Chapter Thirteen: Mu Xiaoxiao, did you do this?

"Hmph hmph hmph~".

Police officers carefully searched the old school building for traces of stray dogs, teachers solemnly calmed the restless students, and the school's board members discussed public relations strategies with grim expressions.

Mu Xiaoxiao hummed an unknown tune as he walked briskly across the playground. He happened to pass by the baseball club and saw the club members looking like they had lost their parents, and he couldn't help but laugh.

He was indeed in a good mood, not only because killing the blond-haired guy made him feel good, but also because the system's generous rewards motivated him even more, and he eagerly opened the 22nd Century Future Department Store System.

It's time to reap the rewards.

Even though he had been hungry all day, nothing could stop his anticipation for the secret item that was coming next, which was the foundation of his existence in this world.

Wait a minute, there's also the 5,000 yen from the hibiscus vegetable donation. Finally, I have some rice to cook. I'll treat myself to something good later.

Things are getting better, everything is getting better —

"Looking at it this way, the five lottery coins I got by using more than ten Momotaro rice balls were not a bad deal," Mu Xiaoxiao did not return to the classroom, but sat down on a bench by the stone path, resting her chin on her hands and focusing her attention on her system.

There was only one bag of Momotaro rice balls lying there alone in the backpack, with four left.

Opening the shop interface, it doesn't sell secret items directly, but rather obtain them through gacha. Looking at the gacha machine, Mu Xiaoxiao is full of confidence, "After all, these are magical items from the future world, so it's a win-win situation no matter what I get."

Insert the first silver coin.

Gurgle, gurgle—Kuangdang.

The gashapon capsule that fell out opened, revealing a new secret item: a camera. Mu Xiaoxiao stared intently—

[A picky camera]: A very picky camera that can only take pictures of handsome men and beautiful women, but can't take pictures of ugly things.

"Uh..." His smile froze on his face. "This thing... seems to be useless?"

I take back what I said before; the first attempt failed.

Feeling humiliated, Mu Xiaoxiao's face turned ashen. Could she really be that unlucky?

Gurgle, gurgle—Kuangdang.

A second shot? Probably not?

[Air Cannon]: Fires a powerful air cannon that can easily shatter rocks.

"nice one."

It's a classic item, and it's a combat item. Although I'm used to being the sixth one, I also like items that enhance my ability to fight head-on. The key is that the air cannon doesn't require any energy, unlike the Momotaro rice ball which is used up and then gone.

Good stuff, really good stuff.

The third gashapon capsule was opened.

【Wallpaper Room】: A four-dimensional space hidden in wallpapers, where you can create your own cozy little house.

"Huh? This is not bad either." For Mu Xiaoxiao, who was homeless, this wallpaper house was a timely help. Thinking back to the memory of spending the night in the old school building last night was unbearable and very uncomfortable. Mu Xiaoxiao did not want to experience it again.

"Meow?"

The kitten snuggled inside Mu Xiaoxiao's clothes, then poked its cute head out from the collar, meowing as sweetly as ever.

“Little guy, now we have our own home,” Mu Xiaoxiao said, grabbing the cat by the scruff of its neck and lifting it onto the grass. But as useful as it was, it was still inferior to props like Momotaro rice balls.

I remember just yesterday I traveled through time and wasn't too satisfied with Momotaro Rice Balls, thinking they weren't that great. But it turns out they were the real MVP.

With mixed feelings, Mu Xiaoxiao leaned back in her chair, clasped her hands together, and prayed silently, "My request is not high, just another bag of Momotaro rice balls, another bag, and another bag!"

Well, the main reason is that I found this thing to be really useful.

Amid the boy's rambling prayers, the Momotaro rice ball didn't arrive as promised. Instead, a beautiful purple flower bloomed. Mu Xiaoxiao sighed, then roused herself, "It seems pretty good?"

【Forget-Me-Not】: People who smell the fragrance of the flower will forget the memory at that time, but will recall it afterward.

While it's not as dramatic as hypnotic control, the effect is still quite good. It's simple and direct, and could be very useful in certain situations. Just be careful not to accidentally harm yourself.

Mu Xiaoxiao didn't rush to use the last lottery coin. Looking at the four extra props in his backpack, he felt a special sense of satisfaction. He took out the picky camera and decided that no matter whether it was useful or not, at least he could add it to his collection.

"Come on, little one, let's take a picture—"

"Meow?"

card wipe.

Looking at the adorable image of the kitten tilting its head in the photo, Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised. "Didn't you say you only photograph handsome men and beautiful women? Does this camera consider my kitten to be beautiful too?"

Although she is quite cute.

With her last coin, Mu Xiaoxiao nervously tossed it into the gashapon machine, watching one of the gashapon capsules fall and then staring intently as it opened.

"Is that a cape?"

【Invisibility Cloak】: Possesses the ability to become invisible; it is worn while draped over the body.

The simpler the description, the more powerful the function. Mu Xiaoxiao jumped up from the chair in an instant, startling the cat that was sitting obediently on the ground and squatting at his feet. "Good stuff!"

Invisibility Cloak, Forget-Me-Not

"Am I about to embark on the path of becoming the male protagonist of the underworld?" Mu Xiaoxiao's mouth almost stretched to the back of her head in a grin. "These are all some really evil props. System, honestly, are you trying to corrupt me?"

Mu Xiaoxiao's excitement didn't last long. He caught sight of a girl standing not far ahead on the stone path, staring straight at him as if trying to etch him into her pupils.

Akane Nanao?

He quickly suppressed his smile and put on a serious expression.

Da da

A cool breeze ruffled the girl's hair, causing it to sway gently. She wasn't wearing a uniform, but rather a simple tracksuit and shorts. The oversized sports jacket couldn't hide the girl's impressive figure, and the outline of her two large breasts was striking.

Under the sunlight, Nanao Akane walked straight over and stopped in front of Mu Xiaoxiao.

The girl gave him a stunning smile, but didn't say anything. She just stared at him, making Mu Xiaoxiao a little flustered. What was she doing?

"Nanao-kun, is something the matter?"

Akane's eyes were filled with complex emotions: gratitude, joy, curiosity, and so on. But in the end, they all turned into a gentle look. She didn't answer. Instead, she took two more steps forward, getting closer to Mu Xiaoxiao, as if trying to see right through him.

Mu Xiaoxiao turned to the side, hugged the back of the chair with both hands, and her body leaned instinctively.

"No, what are you doing?"

Seeing that he looked a little flustered, Nanao Akane raised the corners of her cherry-red lips, "Nothing, can't I sit here for a bit? Move over a bit~. Mu-kun, give me some space, otherwise I'll just sit on your lap."

"???"

Mu Xiaoxiao shrank to the side, leaving only half of her bottom touching the chair, looking scared. "Qiwei, didn't you go to class?"

"I did ask for leave, but you skipped class directly, so your attendance rate will be low," the girl said softly as she saw Mu Xiaoxiao distance herself from her. She then turned her head and stared intently at the boy's face.

"Mu Xiaoxiao, did you do this?"

Chapter Fourteen: How dare you slander someone's innocence out of thin air!

In Class 1-B, in the second row by the window, Hiiragi Kanna couldn't concentrate on the lesson. The words Tohsaka Touka-senpai had said in the infirmary kept echoing in her mind. Mu Xiaoxiao had actually been in the old school building at that time.

Hiiragi Kanna had many questions in her mind. Why did he leave in such a hurry at noon just to go to the old school building? Did he already know that Akane was there? Did he know that Akane was in danger?

Did he do it?

Now that she has her senior's testimony, she and Nanao Akane are convinced that it is Mu Xiaoxiao. However, after leaving the infirmary, Hiiragi Kanna wanted to go back to the classroom to ask him, but Mu Xiaoxiao actually skipped class.

Glancing back at the empty seats in the last row, the burly, beautiful girl sighed dejectedly, "Where did that guy go?"

Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly noticed a figure on the playground outside the window. Hiiragi Kanna was about to sigh, but she forced it back. Looking over, she saw the girl's full lips slightly parted, and she murmured in surprise, "Akane?"

"Why didn't she rest properly in the infirmary? Why did she go out?" Hiiragi Kanna watched as her friend walked across most of the playground, walked to a chair, and sat down with someone. "Is that Mu Xiaoxiao?"

Did Qian go to find Mu Jun? They...

Kanna Hiiragi, who was already not paying attention in class, became even more absent-minded. A sense of irritability and anxiety arose inexplicably in her heart, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on the pencil in her hand.

"Mu Xiaoxiao, did you do this?"

Nana Akane's sudden question didn't frighten him. Mu Xiaoxiao looked puzzled and asked, "What did you say? What did I do?"

"About the old school building incident, wasn't it you, Mu Jun, who killed that scumbag?"

Mu Xiaoxiao fell off the chair with a more dramatic fall than Uncle Benshan. His eyes widened as he angrily shouted, "Qiwei Qian! How can you slander me out of thin air! Dong Gang was bitten to death by a dog, what does that have to do with me, Mu Xiaoxiao? This is defamation, this is slander!"

He looked around nervously. "Do you know that just one sentence can turn an innocent student like me into a criminal suspect! Luckily, no one was around, otherwise I wouldn't be able to clear my name even if I jumped into Tokyo Bay. I thought we were friends, but you actually accused me of being the murderer. That's too much!"

Akane Nanao was embarrassed. He was really good at pretending, and he had a whole set of stories. If it weren't for her senior's testimony, she would have been fooled by him.

"Mu Jun, were you also in the old school building during lunch break?" The girl pulled Mu Xiaoxiao up and pressed closer.

Their bodies were almost pressed together, and the soft touch was faintly visible.

“I was there,” Mu Xiaoxiao did not deny it. He could easily come to the answer by thinking about it. It was Touka Tohsaka who told him. “I was indeed there at the time, but I was so scared that my legs went weak, which prevented me from saving Coach Higashi. Sigh, so I have always felt guilty.”
