Anime Crossover: These Heroines Are All Abnormal

Page 173

Despite Miwa Shirakawa's excellent academic performance, she still had to attend cram schools to get into a good university—that's the relaxed education system in Japan.

"Aren't you supposed to be going to tutoring? Forget it, get some rest," Mu Xiaoxiao rejected her chat invitation, successfully making Baihe Meihe's cherry lips move. She turned around and left him with a beautiful back view.

Mu Xiaoxiao glanced at her back in the darkness, smiled, and then continued looking at her system. Several black lines appeared on her forehead without her realizing it. It was clear that He Meihe had sent the Tsubakihara sisters home.

Yuna and Nina were reunited with their mother safely, so why haven't their wishes been fulfilled yet? Shouldn't there be a notification that they've been fulfilled?!

The clues were only discovered after the system was opened.

[Wishlist (Yuna Tsubakihara, Nina Tsubakihara): I want Kurotan to come home] Mu Xiaoxiao: ? ? ?

Good grief, you changed my wish again? While wishes can indeed change, it's rare, but I didn't expect it to happen to these two little girls. You two are really greedy!

Although I don't lack secret items now, I'm still a little frustrated to see the lottery coins that were about to be mine slip away.

As for turning into charcoal and going back? That's impossible now, because I'm out of animal crackers. Mu Xiaoxiao collapsed on the ground with a dazed expression. "Forget it, I'll think about the wish list later."

Baihe Meihe didn't know how she fell asleep last night. Her mind was filled with all sorts of things, and then she drifted off to sleep without realizing it. Somewhat surprisingly, even though the criminal was lying on the ground next to her, she slept soundly and comfortably.

“That’s strange,” she said, sitting on the bed and peering out the window at the angry sun. Then she looked back at the boy who was still fast asleep on the floor and curiously examined his sleeping face. “He’s just an ordinary person his age. Murderer or something… I can’t make any connection with him at all.”

Well, it's not exactly ordinary, but at least her face is very eye-catching. By the time Shirakawa Miwa realized what was happening, she had already been staring at it for five minutes without realizing it, and quickly covered her face.

What am I talking about?!

"Get up, Mu Jun, Mu Xiaoxiao?"

There was no response. Shirakawa Miwa chuckled softly, "This guy is sleeping even more soundly than me... I have to go to my tutoring class. I should be back by noon. Don't wander off, okay? Stay home and wait for me, alright?"

While he was fast asleep, Shirakawa Mei quickly changed her clothes and went downstairs. The house was empty; her father and mother had both gone to work. There was no need to worry about Mu Xiaoxiao being discovered. However, as the blonde girl went out, she saw a police car speeding past.

My good mood turned sour again. "Ugh, I hope I don't get caught."

Chapter 307 A Few Things About the Tsubakihara Family

According to the Asahi Shimbun, a murder case that occurred yesterday in Nerima Ward has drawn serious attention from the Metropolitan Police Department. More than thirty victims were killed in gruesome manners, making this one of the most horrific murder cases in recent years. Members of Parliament are also monitoring the case. Based on the current investigation, only one perpetrator is suspected. Although no facial image has been captured, based on height and build, the suspect is likely a young person under twenty years old. Anyone with relevant information is encouraged to contact the police.

The television repeatedly broadcast Mu Xiaoxiao's terrifying feats and also showed some bloody murder scenes, making countless people aware of this murder case that shocked Japan. The Tsubakihara family was no exception. Tsubakihara Mira stayed at home to accompany her daughter and saw the news on television.

Her expression suddenly turned serious. "Yuna, Nina, this place."

The two little girls immediately nestled in their mother's arms. "Yes, this is it...this is where we were brought...and then Hei Tan went in, but why was it that person?"

While the Metropolitan Police Department chief was still bowing on the TV news, Tsubakihara Mira paid no attention. Following her daughter's gaze, she looked at the wanted poster and saw a boy wearing a hat. To Nina and Yuna, this person was a complete stranger, someone they didn't recognize, and not their cat.

But Mira recognized him immediately. Even though she couldn't see his face, she could tell from his features and demeanor that he was the same guy she had met once before, the one who had secretly photographed her daughter and whom she had mistaken for a pervert.

"That's him! Whoosh—"

Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Tsubakihara Mira was now 100% certain that it was that boy who saved her daughter, and that he was the cat in the house. As for how he turned into a cat, that wasn't important for now. Mira looked at the police officers on TV and forced a cold smile onto her lips.

"Wanted... a murderer, ha, little do they know that those who died were the ones with the most heinous crimes." Unlike ordinary people who know nothing and panic and discuss the murderer after seeing the news, Tsubakihara Mira knows the inside story of this matter, but it is precisely because she knows it that she has a headache.

She was just the president of a small company, with no special status or position, and she couldn't get the police to take her opinion seriously. Even if she said her daughter was the victim, without evidence, she would be brushed off. Besides, those scumbags and perverts might have a congressman as their backer.

"Mom, when will Kurotan come back?" Tsubakihara Yuna suddenly looked up at her mother. "Why hasn't it come home yet? Is it lost or... has something happened to it?"

Hearing her daughter's sudden question, Tsubakihara Mira suddenly felt powerless. Although the children were safe and sound, she still felt that she could do nothing, especially after seeing the wanted poster on TV and knowing that the boy was facing a major crisis.

But all I can do is stand here and watch. There's nothing I can do.

Faced with her daughter's question, she couldn't even give an answer. After a moment of silence, Mrs. Mira gripped her daughter's shoulders and forced a smile. "It's okay, Blackie... just ran away from home. Cats are like that, they often like to run away from home. They'll come back on their own after a while."

"Really?" "Yes"

Tsubakihara Mira could only respond with this lie; she couldn't say anything else. Fortunately, she still had that girl's phone number, so at least her contact with him wasn't completely severed, and she still had a chance to get in touch with him.

“So he’s right. You need power to protect the important people and to have a voice.” Tsubakihara Mira turned off the TV and stood at the window, gazing indifferently at the gloomy sky outside. Dark clouds covered the sky, and a torrential downpour with lightning and thunder was about to arrive.

Mrs. Tsubakihara was not a hesitant person; she made her decision quickly, her eyes resolute.

However, I won't tell my daughters about these things for now, including the boy. I haven't told Yuna and Nina about his secret either, as the two children are still very young. Most importantly, since he left without saying goodbye, it means that he was going to leave eventually and wouldn't stay at the Tsubakihara family. Although Yuna and Nina will be sad because of this, it's something that can't be changed.

"Ding-dong............"

The doorbell brought Mira back to reality, and the two little girls, Yuna and Renna, jumped off their chairs and excitedly rushed to the entrance, shouting, "It must be Kuroko coming back! I'll go open the door!"

"Wait, Yuna, I'm going too."

The twin sisters rushed to the front door, hoping to see their adorable and clever cat sitting there, wagging its tail, and reuniting with them. But nothing happened.

Yuna and Nina's smiles froze, frozen in place.

When they opened the door, they weren't greeted by the kitten they had been longing for, but by a face that Yuna and Nina both found repulsive—it was their childhood friend and playmate... Yuuji-kun. After they returned safely, the Tsubakihara sisters seemed to have severed ties with Yuuji and never went to see him again.

But the little boy was clearly unwilling to give up. He didn't want to drift further and further away from the girl he liked, so he took the initiative to repair the relationship. Holding an exquisite gift box, he quickly said when he saw them, "Yuna, Nina... I've come to apologize. I'm very sorry for what happened before."

“I brought you a gift, please forgive me,” Yuuji said sincerely. “Yuna, Nina, let’s make up.”

Although he sincerely wanted to reconcile with his childhood sweetheart, some rifts are irreparable, especially for children like them. After all, the psychological trauma they suffer can affect their entire lives, far exceeding what bullying can cause.

How could he forget what happened before and make up with me after just a few words?

“Yuji-kun, you don’t need to apologize. Actually, you didn’t do anything wrong,” Nina said calmly, pulling her sister back from her emotional outburst. “My sister and I ran away on our own. You didn’t know we would run into bad people. As for what happened afterward… protecting yourself in that situation is normal. We’re just friends who hang out together. We’re not anyone to you, so we have no right to make demands of you. Therefore, you don’t need to apologize to us.”

Although Tsubakihara Nina spoke very calmly and indifferently, without blaming him at all, Yuuji felt that it would have been better to teach him a lesson. This calm attitude made him feel even colder and more upset.

It was as if, in their eyes, he was just an insignificant person. "But..."

“Nina is right, we don’t have any special relationship, so don’t come looking for us anymore,” Tsubakihara Yuna nodded, agreeing with her sister. Once close playmates, now looked at by two little girls with unfamiliar eyes. After what happened, of course they couldn’t let go of the past and continue playing with Yuuji. How could they be so heartless?

After saying that, Yuna didn't accept the gift and closed the door directly. Mira, who was standing behind her, looked at her two daughters with a faint smile on her face and didn't interfere. This was what she wanted to see.

She'll only stop her daughter if she wants to make up with that brat and continue playing together. Yuna and Nina have both become much more sensible and matured a lot.

As for Yuuji outside the door, he was completely stunned, his face pale. He probably didn't expect Yuna Nina to be so decisive, not even giving him a chance to apologize, and saying such heartless words. He knew that he had lost two of his most important childhood friends.

It's impossible to repair our relationship.

Thinking of this, the little boy turned around with a gloomy face, looking back at the Tsubakihara family's house number every few steps. He didn't know that he had lost the most important thing in his life... but he could feel the emptiness in his heart, as if something was missing.

His dejected figure did not elicit any sympathy from the two little girls; instead, they breathed a sigh of relief when he left.

"I thought it was Black Charcoal coming back. How annoying! We were so happy for nothing. What are you doing here looking for us at a time like this?"

"Yuna, next time we bump into each other outside, just pretend you didn't see her. Treat her like a stranger." "No problem, it's decided then!"

They had no lingering attachment or reluctance towards Yuuji-kun; they had long since stopped caring.

“I have a pretty good relationship with his parents,” Tsubakihara Mira walked over and ruffled her daughter’s hair. “But since this has happened…”

We should just go along with your wishes and make the decision. Besides, there's no need for adults to involve children in their social interactions. I think they'll probably feel embarrassed to bring their own children to our house again in the future.”

“Yuna, Nina,” Tsubakihara Mira said with a smile, “didn’t you want to go to the summer festival? Mom will take you with me then.”

“Mom,” Yuna Tsubakihara felt her mother’s concern once again and couldn’t help but hug her. She shook her head and whispered, “I’m not going. It’s too dangerous outside. Nina and I will stay at home.”

Mira chuckled. "With Mom with you, there won't be any problems. Besides, that person has made such a big fuss, I don't think anyone will dare to arrest you anytime soon. Yuna, Nina, didn't you want to watch the fireworks festival? Mom specially made time to watch it with you."

"Really?" Yuna and Nina's eyes were filled with excitement; they really did want to see the fireworks. "Really."

"Then... can we wait until Kurotan comes back?" Yuna Tsubaki knew she was being a little greedy, but she couldn't help but hope. "I also want to participate in the Chaden with Koneko?"

Mira's smile was a little forced. "...Yuna, even Mom doesn't know."

Mira sighed, her head aching. "My two daughters seem to be completely infatuated with that guy."

Chapter 308 The High School Girl Living with a Criminal

"Miwa, have you seen the news?"

At the cram school, several pretty girls gathered around Shirakawa Miwa. The students attending the cram school were not only high-achieving students, but also some hot girls who were not good at studying. They just couldn't attend the cram school because of family reasons or because they were thinking about their future.

Originally, the group of hot girls was clearly separate from the other girls, but Shirakawa's charm was indeed exaggerated, and her interpersonal skills were also very good, allowing these girls to get along well. She was like the shining center of attention.

Not only girls, but also many boys came to hit on Chan. "News?"

"Wow, didn't you know? It's already all over the place this morning... the murder case in Nerima Ward!" The girl next to me was very excited when she talked about it. It was hard to tell whether she was excited or scared. Instead, she seemed very gossipy. "So many people died. I also heard that there were all sorts of dismembered limbs at the murder scene. It was so horrific that even the police and reporters vomited."

You're right, it was indeed very bloody. Although I didn't watch the news, I was there.

"And the murderer hasn't been caught yet. Everyone outside is terrified, afraid of running into that psychopathic killer... I was planning to go out and have fun after my tutoring session, but now I've lost all interest."

Another girl chimed in.

"And the killer seems to be about the same age as us. I really can't imagine how he did it. He killed everyone in the entire building by himself... Now many people are saying that the killer was actually a specially trained Grim Reaper, which is why he was so terrifying."

Although Shirakawa Miwa had anticipated that it would cause a sensation, she didn't expect it to spread so quickly, and she certainly didn't expect that even her own cram school would be discussing this kind of gossip. Moreover, the rumors were quite strange, with people talking about assassins and death gods... While Mu-kun did seem like an assassin that night, Shirakawa Miwa found it hard to associate him with an assassin when she thought of his sickly, sleepy face that morning.

"What are you talking about? What's so scary?"

Just then, the tutor walked in. The young, handsome blond male teacher had a smile on his face and a gentle and refined demeanor, which attracted the attention of many girls.

"Is it about the murder case? Does Teacher Ancheng know about it?"

“Oh, I’ve seen that too,” the male teacher said, his expression turning serious. “You should also be careful on your way home. The murderer hasn’t been caught yet and could appear nearby at any time to do something dangerous. It’s best not to linger outside these next few days.”

After the handsome male teacher left, the girls started gossiping again, one after another. "Meihe, do you think Ancheng-sensei might be the murderer? Isn't that how it is in comics? The seemingly gentle male teacher is actually a cruel and perverted killer."

“You guys,” Shirakawa Miwa said with a hint of helplessness, “you usually like Professor Ancheng a lot, but now you suspect him. Besides, you just said that the murderer is about the same age as us, how could he be a teacher?”

After all, the real murderer is in my house.

"That's true, but Miwa, why are you so eager to explain? Could it be that you have a crush on the teacher? You've always kept your distance from those boys at school." "I'm not that close to Mr. Ancheng, am I? We only exchange some academic information." Miwa Shirakawa felt even more troubled when gossip got involved with herself.

Instead of worrying about this gossip, let's check the weather outside; it's about to pour.

Oh no, I didn't bring an umbrella.

The weather was fine when I turned it off in the morning, but around noon, dark clouds gathered, a strong wind picked up outside the window, and with the sound of thunder, raindrops poured down like beans, soon turning into a torrential downpour, trapping all the students in the cram school in the hallway.

Shirakawa Miwa stood under the eaves, feeling the sudden drop in temperature. The rain and cold wind made her tighten her short-sleeved shirt. Running back in this heavy rain would definitely get her soaked to the bone, and taking a taxi was also impractical—too expensive.

"Wait a moment."

Unfortunately, the rain was getting heavier and showed no signs of stopping. Just as Shirakawa was feeling distressed, a voice came from behind her. A handsome blond male teacher walked over and said, "Shirakawa-kun, you didn't bring an umbrella either, did you?"

“Yes, teacher,” Shirakawa Miwa said with a wry smile when she saw that it was a tutoring center teacher. “The weather was fine when I left this morning.”

"Yes, no one expected a sudden thunderstorm. It looks like the rain won't stop anytime soon. Baihe, why don't you rest a little longer at the tutoring center?" the young male teacher suggested. "Don't worry about lunch. We can provide you with free lunches. The food here is quite good."

Before Miwa could answer, her friend interrupted, "Ancheng-sensei, aren't you being biased? You only invited Miwa and not us? This is blatant discrimination!"

“How could that be?” The male teacher smiled helplessly. “Of course I would invite you; you are all my students.”

"Hehe, then we won't stand on ceremony. Mei and you?"

Actually, the teacher's suggestion was not bad. With such heavy rain, it was indeed difficult for her to go back, and she couldn't go out for a while. However, Shirakawa Meiwa hesitated. She had promised Mu Jun that she would go back at noon, and she hadn't left him any money for lunch. Although doing so felt like raising a pet, Shirakawa Meiwa still hoped to rush back to check on him.

So after hesitating for a while, she made a decision: "I'm sorry, teacher, I'm not staying here. I'll go home for lunch."

Unexpectedly, she insisted on going home despite the heavy rain. The male teacher nodded, "It seems you have your reasons, Baihe. I won't keep you here then, but are you sure it's okay with this heavy rain? Let me go buy you an umbrella."

"No need, teacher, I can buy it myself... um."

Halfway through her sentence, Shirakawa Miwa suddenly lost her voice, her expression becoming incredibly complex. She stared intently at the boy who was slowly walking towards her in the heavy rain, holding an umbrella, as if she had seen a ghost.

My brain felt like it had stopped working.

What the heck? Why is he... staring blankly as the boy walks up to him, then raises the umbrella in his hand, "Baihe-kun, I've brought you an umbrella."

"You... how did you get here?!" A look of panic clearly appeared on Shirakawa Miwa's face.

"I thought it was raining so hard you wouldn't be able to come back easily, so I came to bring you an umbrella," Mu Xiaoxiao said with a smile. Bai Hemei was speechless for a moment, then quickly grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao's arm and rushed under his umbrella. She seemed to want to say something but held back, and could only force a smile at her friends, "Then I'll go back first, goodbye~".

Then, he half-dragged Mu Xiaoxiao and quickly disappeared into the heavy rain, leaving behind a group of stunned friends. They were also a little dumbfounded, "What's going on? A boy actually gave Meihe an umbrella?"

"That's not the point. The point is, don't you think those two look very intimate?" Another girl cupped her face in her hands. "Meihe always keeps her distance from boys at school, she's never been this close before."

"You mean... Meihe is secretly dating us without telling us?" "That's too cunning, she didn't even tell us she was dating."

"I can understand, after all, that boy seemed very charming and had a very special temperament." Although they only met briefly, Mu Xiaoxiao's unique temperament and charm after her evolution still left a deep impression on these girls. If it weren't for the teacher being there, she would have bluntly said that the stranger's charm was even better than Teacher Ancheng's.

"And he even came all the way to bring me an umbrella, how so kind! He's just like the male lead in a Japanese drama. I really envy Miwa." Hearing their comments and discussions, the male teacher next to them said nothing, but just watched the two of them sharing an umbrella intimately in the pouring rain, his eyes deep and unreadable.

"Mu Xiaoxiao, you idiot, have you forgotten that you're wanted? I told you not to run around like that, and you still dared to come out." Baihe Meihe's expression froze as she thought about the murderer her friends were just discussing appearing in front of them, her golden ponytail swinging back and forth.

"Even though I was caught on camera, they didn't capture my face, so it's okay, right? I even changed my clothes." "How can it be okay? What if? What if you recognize them?"

Mu Xiaoxiao lowered her head after being scolded by Baihe Meihe, looking aggrieved. "I just thought the rain was too heavy and wanted to bring you an umbrella..."
