Anime Crossover: These Heroines Are All Abnormal

Page 12

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded.

Akane Nanao didn't suspect anything, but her expression became more complicated. "No wonder, no wonder you're always hungry and have no food to eat. I was even thinking of exchanging LINE contacts with you and becoming friends, but you don't even have a phone."

He's so pitiful.

The girl couldn't control herself. She suddenly hugged Mu Xiaoxiao, pulled his head into her arms, and pressed it into her breasts. She said with a touch of tenderness and doting, "It's okay, Xiaoxiao. You're not alone. I'll always be by your side."

"If you don't mind, you can treat me as your family."

Mu Xiaoxiao: "..."

So big and so soft!

No, I'm suffocating!

Mu Xiaoxiao was getting used to the female protagonists in these alternate worlds giving out fan service at the drop of a hat, and after hearing what she said, well, I really am quite pitiful.

Immersed in the atmosphere of sadness, Nanao Akane did not notice that not far away on the playground, someone else was also deeply grieving. Katase Sho was also staring in this direction with disbelief, seeing the girl he liked hugging another boy and even engaging in such intimate and ambiguous behavior.

"Akane..."

"Damn it, I was suddenly called away to help out by Shirakawa-sensei during lunch break, so I couldn't eat lunch with you guys," Hiiragi Kanna complained to Nanao Akane after school. Seeing that the latter had her head down and looked rather unenthusiastic, she added.

"Qian, what's wrong? You seem a little down. I heard about what happened at noon. Wasn't the problem resolved?"

"It's not because of that..."

Akane Nanao sighed.

“I only found out a little bit about Xiaoxiao. You weren’t here at noon,” Nanao Akane said quietly. “This morning I was thinking of exchanging LINE contacts with him or contacting him by email, which would be more convenient. But, Kana, can you imagine that Xiaoxiao doesn’t even have a cell phone?”

"Huh? No way."

Hiragana was taken aback.

"It's true. The phone is a minor issue. The real problem is that Xiao Xiao doesn't have any relatives. I only just found out about his background. He's so pitiful."

Thinking of his solitary figure, hunched over in the corner of the classroom every day, Nanao Akane felt an overwhelming pang of heartache.

"Is that so?" Hiiragi Kana suddenly remembered the money transaction with Mu Xiaoxiao. Although he said it in a joking tone, saying something about adding money, now that she thought about it, he must have felt very bitter inside, just using a smile as a mask.

Hiiragi Kanana's mood also plummeted.

“We should help him more,” Hiiragi Kanna clenched her little fist. Five thousand yen was still too little. Next time she asked Xiaoxiao for help, she should give him more. Not only could she support him, but she would also have an excuse to do the same thing with him.

"Yes, a little one who lacks love definitely craves emotional warmth. There's not much we can do, but showing him more care and attention is definitely something we can do."

Well, now I have an excuse to pack lunch for Xiaoxiao every day.

"Speaking of which, have Nogami Izumi and his gang stopped causing trouble? They actually dared to bully Xiaoxiao..."

"Um, I don't think Xiaoxiao will be bullied..." After all, even Donggang was bullied by him. Because of this incident, Nana Akane has a lot of trust and reliance on Mu Xiaoxiao.

Hiiragi Kanna couldn't help but chuckle. "Yeah, it's really weird to hide a snake in your clothes. Now all the girls in my class think he's a weirdo. Several girls were talking about him this afternoon."

As she spoke, she laughed at herself and joked.

"Akane, I heard you confronted those hot girls from Nogami Izumi at noon. You were really brave~."

"I was just too excited at the time and couldn't control myself."

Nanao Akane is shy.

As the two girls talked, they gradually relaxed. Just as they walked out of the teaching building and were about to go home, they saw Katase Shoya chasing after them.

"Qian, wait—"

Akane Nanao paused for a moment, but recovered quickly and smiled. "Katase-kun, is something the matter?"

The girl's expression remained unchanged, as if nothing had changed, but Katase Sho clearly sensed that the politeness in her tone had lost its former warmth, leaving him at a loss. "I came to ask you about the baseball club..."

“Ah, I already told the advisor today that I want to quit the baseball club,” Akane Nanao said, clasping her hands together. “I’m sorry, Katase-kun, I don’t really want to go to that place anymore.”

Is it because of Dong Gang?

"Anyway, it's all in the past, so you don't really need to worry about it too much."

That's all Nanao Akane said.

"How could I not care?" He suddenly became agitated. "What about us? Have we moved on too? We clearly liked each other, so why... and I saw it all—at noon, you and that boy, you were hugging—"

The hibiscus next to me opened its mouth wide and hugged it? What did you guys do during your lunch break?

"You saw it?" Akane Nanao remained calm. "Katase-kun, no matter what, the past is the past for me. Besides, we were never dating. As for liking each other, Katase-kun, I did like you before. You are a very outstanding person, but I never thought it would turn out like this."

The girl said softly, "But it's come to this now, and I can't go against my heart. To me, Xiaoxiao is a special person. Katase-kun, I still consider you a friend. As for the rest, I'm sorry."

"..."

Katase Shoya stood motionless until Nanao Akane brushed past him and left without looking back, and his figure was suddenly filled with loneliness.

Hiiragi Kanna turned around and gazed at her friend's face. She and Akane were good friends, which was why she was surprised by Akane's change.

"Xiao Xiao is a special person, Qian. I can't believe you said that. You really like him?"

Akane blushed and casually hugged Kanina's arm, "Oh, let's not talk about this, let's go."

Although she didn't answer, the shyness on the girl's face was probably her answer.

Chapter Twenty-Three: Gu, Kill Me

Mu Xiaoxiao curled up behind the water tank on the rooftop. Not far in front of him, a cute little black and white bird perched on the railing, looked around, and then hopped to the ground.

This bird, called a sekirei, is very common in Japan. Mu Xiaoxiao took a liking to this black and white Japanese sekirei, but dared not show herself for fear of scaring it away. Not far from the sekirei, a white Momotaro rice ball lay quietly on the ground.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed the cat's head that was sticking out from her collar, made a shushing gesture, and the obedient black cat didn't make a sound. Another small green snake also stuck its head out, but was then pressed back down by the cat's paw.

Yes, the kitten isn't afraid of her at all.

"The past, the past, and a little more of the past..."

Perhaps unaware of the danger, the wagtail took two steps on the ground, then started running on its little feet. Mu Xiaoxiao's prayers had worked; the wagtail noticed the rice ball on the ground, walked over, looked at it curiously, and then pecked at it twice.

She ate it!

Before Mu Xiaoxiao could even cheer, the rooftop door clicked open, and a tall, graceful girl walked up step by step with heavy steps.

"Um, Touka Tohsaka-senpai?"

Pah Pah————

Touka Tohsaka's appearance startled the little Sekirei. She flapped her wings and flew up, but instead of running away, she circled in the air and found Mu Xiaoxiao precisely. She landed on his shoulder and affectionately rubbed her face against her owner's.

"Good boy," Momotaro said. There were three rice balls left, so he had to use them sparingly. It would be best to find a large, ferocious beast.

Stroking the sekirei, Mu Xiaoxiao cast a puzzled glance at Tohsaka Touka. This suicidal senior, Tohsaka, left a deep impression on Mu Xiaoxiao. Her wish list still terrifies him and leaves him helpless. By the way, why is she on the rooftop?

wait

The deaths in the old school building have become the school's top news and a hot topic of student gossip these past two days, with endless discussions. Even the rumors about a boy in a first-year class keeping venomous snakes couldn't overshadow the death of Coach Dong Gang.

Tohsaka Touka was also helpless. Yesterday, she wanted to end her life in the old school building, but unfortunately, this happened. Now the old school building is closed to the public, so she could only come to the rooftop. Looking at the fewer and fewer students below, Tohsaka Touka pursed her lips.

"If he jumped from here, the impact would be even more outrageous," yeah, the school would definitely go crazy.

However, Touka Tohsaka was in no mood to care about anyone else.

Her father's recent car accident dealt her an immeasurable blow. The death of her beloved father, who had guided her onto the path of kendo since childhood, completely robbed Touka Tohsaka of her smile.

Family relatives are fighting over the inheritance, and the family has also incurred a large amount of debt.

The Tosaka family was once a renowned noble family, but now all that's left is an empty mansion. The enormous debt is still suffocating her and her mother. Some people at school who know about her situation call her a fallen heiress.

Tohsaka Touka thought there was nothing wrong with what she said.

Standing on the railing of the rooftop, looking down from above, a feeling of death washed over her. She felt no fear, but rather a sense of liberation, knowing that she could find release by taking that step.

I will never feel the suffocating pain again.

Just as this impulse took hold of the girl's heart and grew stronger, making her ready to embrace death, Mu Xiaoxiao's soft voice came from behind her.

"Tohsaka-senpai, what are you doing here?"

"..."

Touka Tohsaka turned around, and her usually expressionless face finally showed a slight change. When did he appear behind her? "It's you."

Tohsaka Touka was deeply impressed by this junior, whether it was the experience of the old school building or the subsequent words of Nanao Akane and the others, which made Tohsaka Touka realize that this junior was not so simple.

Even if he did kill someone using some means, what does it have to do with me?

Even so, a slight ripple stirred in her heart. Why did she always run into him at times like this? "Senior, what are you doing here?" Mu Xiaoxiao forced a smile. "You don't want to do extreme sports, like freefall, do you? Don't do anything reckless. You might be free, but I'll be the one to take the blame."

"..."

How did he know? Touka Tohsaka's pupils dilated. She had never told anyone her thoughts, not even her mother. How could this boy, whom she had only met once, know—

Tohsaka Touka controlled her emotions, "You're overthinking it. I don't have those kinds of thoughts."

"I trust you, so senior, shall we go sit over there and chat?"

"..."

After a moment of complicated expression as she stared at him, Touka Tohsaka hesitantly nodded.

Leaving the railing at the edge of the rooftop and sitting down by the lush green flowerbed, Touka Tohsaka spoke before Mu Xiaoxiao could even open her mouth, her calm words tinged with doubt, "Mu Xiaoxiao, who exactly are you?"

"I'm just an ordinary high school student."

"Is that so?" Touka Tohsaka's doubts remained.

"Then what kind of person do you think I am?" Mu Xiaoxiao found it amusing.

"I don't know," she said, her eyes filled with confusion. When she first met him, she thought he was just an ordinary student. But after hearing about Touka Tohsaka from her junior classmates, Nanao, she realized he was no ordinary person.

The more I look at him now, the more mysterious and strange he seems.

"But I feel like you know everything..."

He can see right through me.

"How could that be? At least I don't understand why you want to die. Although Japan has always had a high suicide rate, you, who are a model of a winner in life, should be different from those who are down on their luck."

Unlike Hiiragi Kanna and Nanao Akane, Mu Xiaoxiao really didn't understand her.

"What a winner in life..."

Touka Tohsaka sighed, her feelings complicated. Looking at the boy beside her, she suddenly felt an urge to confide in him, a feeling she had never shared before. "I know there are many rumors about me, but it's not what you think..."

Mu Xiaoxiao listened quietly to the girl's story and understood why Touka Tohsaka had such a wish list. Her father had passed away, her family property had been taken away, and she was heavily in debt. This was really understandable.

Just like during Japan's bubble economy, people lined up to jump off buildings.

Seeing the pain on Touka Tohsaka's face, Mu Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, unsure how to comfort her.

“However, let others say what they want, even slander,” Touka Tohsaka said, as if she were talking to Mu Xiaoxiao, or perhaps she was talking to herself. The girl’s bright eyes gradually became shadowed and lost their luster.

"Things like that, it doesn't matter how they turn out..."

Ok?

The girl suddenly stood up, walked up to Mu Xiaoxiao, and said with a serious expression, "Mu Xiaoxiao, could you please do me a favor?"

"???"

“Although I don’t know who you are, you killed someone yesterday at noon, so you can definitely do it,” Touka Tohsaka approached, “kill me.”

"..."

"I didn't kill anyone!" Mu Xiaoxiao clutched her head. "And what kind of bizarre request is this? Are you trying to frame me? I was just a suspect a moment ago, and now I'm the real criminal? You might as well just jump down!!"

“You are not a criminal, you are a kind person who helped me get out of this predicament, I can write a will.”

These women are really abnormal.

I really don't understand you guys.

"Even if you write ten copies, it won't help. I refuse!!"
