Crossover Anime: Winning over Misako Amamiya at the start

Page 25

Sayoko turned her head, her brown hair brushing against her fair neck. Her previously reserved expression softened slightly the moment she saw Chen Xiao's face: "-Of course..."

Chen Xiao gently flipped open a fashion magazine with her slender fingers, seemingly casually pointing to a particular piece: "The cut of this piece is very unique. Is it part of your design concept?"

“Ah, this one…” Sayoko’s eyes suddenly lit up, her professionalism as a designer allowing her to instantly launch into a conversation. Her slender fingers gestured in the air, explaining the intricacies of three-dimensional tailoring.

Chen Xiao offered a timely exclamation of praise, and a perfectly timed question elicited a soft chuckle from Xiao Yezi, who covered her mouth. Fine lines appeared at the corners of her eyes, revealing the charm of a mature woman.

"Mom is rarely this happy," Mei Yu whispered to Chun Feng, her eyes full of surprise.

Chunfeng pouted, her long pink hair swaying gently as she shook her head: "That's because she's never seen a guy so good at flirting..."

Just then, Chen Xiao changed the subject: "Speaking of which, is Mr. Wan De your long-term partner?"

Sayoko pursed her lips elegantly: "He's been our company's agent for many years, and he specially arranged for us to come to Shiratani Village for a vacation..." Her voice suddenly lowered, "Although I feel he's been acting a bit... strange lately."

"Oh?" Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow and subtly moved closer.

Sayoko was unconsciously enveloped by his presence, her cheeks flushing slightly. "Before we set off, I saw him preparing some...strange ritual items." She shook her head, as if trying to shake off the thought. "Maybe I'm just imagining things."

Chen Xiao's gaze passed over Xiao Yezi's shoulder and met Wan De's eyes, who had just returned from the restroom. Wan De's smile instantly froze, and his phone fell to the ground with a "thud."

“Ms. Kagami,” Chen Xiao suddenly grasped Sayoko’s hand and whispered in her ear, “once we arrive in the village, please stay close to me.”

His breath brushed against Xiaoyezi's earlobe, making the mature woman's heart skip a beat. By the time she came to her senses, Chen Xiao had already stood up and walked towards the connecting area between the carriages, his back as straight as a pine tree.

Outside the window, the station sign for Baizhuo Village drew ever closer. Strange stone statues began to appear on both sides of the railway tracks, each with blurred faces, yet seemingly watching the approaching train.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: The First Prey, the Female Star of Baizhuo Village

The train slowly pulled into a remote little station. The platform was deserted, with only a few dim streetlights flickering in the twilight.

Miyamoto Yumi frowned and looked around: This station... seems to have been built specifically for Shiratani Village, there isn't even a shop around.

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded slightly, a hint of wariness flashing in her icy blue eyes: "This is indeed unusual."

Chen Xiao walked up to Mei Yu's family, his expression unusually serious: "Once we get to the village, everyone must be careful." His gaze swept over Xiao Yezi, Mei Yu, Chunfeng, and Fubuki in turn. "It's best not to act alone."

Spring Breeze waved her hand dismissively, her long pink hair gleaming softly in the setting sun: "Relax, relax~ We're just here to soak in the hot springs! I heard the hot springs here can make your skin super smooth!" She winked mischievously, completely unaware of the danger.

Kasukabe Mantoku adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, a professional smile plastered on his face: "Chen, you're overthinking it. The villagers of Shiratani Village are very kind and hospitable; it's absolutely safe." But a sinister glint flashed behind his lenses.

Chen Xiao remained unmoved, his voice low and firm: "In any case, it's safer for everyone to stay together tonight."

Surprisingly, Miyamoto Yumi sided with Chen Xiao: "I agree. As a police officer, I feel there's definitely something... off about this village."

Sayoko glanced at her daughters, then at Chen Xiao's earnest gaze, and nodded gracefully: "Then let's listen to Chen."

Wander's lips twitched slightly, but he managed a forced smile: "Okay...okay, I'll arrange it."

As dusk deepened, the group followed Wan De to a traditional Japanese villa. The ancient wooden structure creaked slightly in the wind, and stone lanterns in the courtyard emitted a soft glow.

"Everyone, please rest here tonight." Wander's voice sounded particularly sinister in the dimly lit corridor. "I'll give you a tour of the village tomorrow."

Chen Xiao looked around and suddenly said, "Why don't we all sleep in the hall? We can sleep on the floor."

"What?" Fubuki's eyes widened in surprise, her burgundy sundress standing out brightly under the lights. "So many of us together?"

A shy blush appeared on Miu and Sayoko's faces.

Chunfeng exaggeratedly clutched her chest: "Chen Xiao, you wouldn't be thinking of..."

Yukino Yukinoshita unexpectedly stood next to Chen Xiao: "I agree. In this unfamiliar environment, it is indeed safer to stay together." Her icy blue eyes looked directly at Wander, who awkwardly avoided her gaze.

Ultimately, with Chen Xiao's insistence and Xue Zhixia's support, everyone decided to spend the night together in the hall.

When Wand left, his back was stiff, like a marionette.

Night had completely fallen. In the hall, the girls had laid out their bedding. Chen Xiao leaned against the door, moonlight filtering through the paper door, casting a silvery glow on his handsome features. He appeared languid, but was actually listening alertly to every sound outside.

Sayoko discreetly observed him; her mature woman's intuition told her that this young man possessed an unusual aura.

Fubuki boldly leaned closer to Chen Xiao, her red lips almost touching his ear: "So vigilant... could it be that you're trying to protect all of us?"

Chen Xiao turned his head, and the tips of their noses almost touched.

His deep voice could only be heard by Fubuki: "What if I said... yes?"

Fubuki's heart skipped a beat, and for the first time, this usually composed magazine model felt her cheeks burning.

As she hurriedly stepped back, she accidentally bumped into the spring breeze behind her.

"Sis! Your face is so red!" Chunfeng said mischievously.

A soft laugh rippled through the hall, temporarily easing the tense atmosphere.

"By the way, where is Mr. Wande?" Sayoko looked at the bustling banquet hall, the lights flickering, laughter ringing out, but her manager, Mr. Wande, was nowhere to be seen.

Her voice was soft, yet tinged with a hint of doubt.

"Who knows?" Chen Xiao chuckled softly, his gaze sweeping across the crowd before finally settling on Xiaoyezi.

He walked slowly closer, his fingertips brushing lightly against her wrist, the warm touch making Sayoko tremble slightly.

"Why don't we prepare dinner first?" His voice was deep and gentle, like a blade coated in honey, irresistible.

Everyone got busy, and soon the kitchen was filled with the clatter of pots and pans. The house was already stocked with plenty of ingredients, as if everything was under some kind of control.

"No way~" Chunfeng suddenly stomped her foot in a coquettish manner, her chestnut curls swaying gently with her movement, her watery eyes carrying a deliberate flirtatious glint. "I need to take a shower first!"

Sayoko frowned. "Suit yourself." Her voice was calm, but there was a hint of displeasure in it.

"I'll take you to the restroom." Chen Xiao smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping around the room, his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception quietly activating—in this seemingly cozy mansion, there was no one else present, not even Kasukabe Mando's manager, who had vanished without a trace.

The bathroom was filled with steam, and the mist condensed into fine water droplets on the mirror.

Chunfeng leaned against the doorframe, her fingers lightly touching her collar, and took steps closer to Chen Xiao. "Brother Chen Xiao is so considerate..." her voice was as soft as a feather brushing against his ear, "What's your relationship with Meiyu?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she flicked her finger, and her collar slowly slid down, revealing her fair skin and white underwear, which was faintly visible in the steam. She tilted her head slightly, her red lips parted, and a hint of provocative smile appeared on her face.

Chen Xiao's eyes darkened, and a sharp knife suddenly appeared in his hand.

Chunfeng's expression changed drastically. Just as she was about to retreat, she saw a flash of light—

"Crack!"

The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception precisely pierced through the blind spot of the bathroom, slicing off the almost transparent miniature camera with a single stroke. The crisp sound of metal hitting the ground was particularly jarring in the silent bathroom.

The spring breeze stood frozen in place, its breath slightly sluggish.

Chen Xiao slowly sheathed his knife, a gentle smile still playing on his lips, but his eyes were icy cold. "Looks like someone's quite interested in us."

"There was a hidden camera... What's going on?" Chunfeng's voice trembled slightly, her fingers unconsciously gripping the edge of her bathrobe. Water droplets slid down her damp hair and clung to her porcelain-white skin.

She subconsciously took a step closer to Chen Xiao, but suddenly realized that the action was too intimate, and the tips of her ears immediately turned a light red.

Chen Xiao pulled her closer to him. He leaned down and whispered, his warm breath brushing against her ear: "Someone wants to harm you."

"Then, what should we do? Go tell everyone quickly..." Chunfeng's voice grew softer and softer, her breathing became erratic.

Chen Xiao was close to the spring breeze; the neckline of her bathrobe was half-open, revealing glimpses of her skin.

His fingertips were still on her shoulder, the warm touch making her heart race, her mind go blank, and she even forgot what she had just wanted to say.

Chen Xiao looked at her flushed cheeks, a dark and ambiguous emotion flashing in his eyes.

He suddenly reached out and gently brushed his fingertips through her damp hair, his touch as tender as if he were soothing a frightened animal. "Don't be afraid," he said in a deep, gentle voice, "I'm here."

Chunfeng held her breath, her heart pounding in her chest, and she stared intently at Chen Xiao's handsome face.

"Chen Xiaojun, what... do you want to do?" Chunfeng's voice trembled slightly.

"What do you think?" Chen Xiao chuckled softly, his slender fingers slowly stroking her cheek. "Someone tried to violate you, and I want to protect you, so I need some interest and a price, don't I?"

Chapter 40: Summoning Misaka Mikoto to Participate in the Battle of Shirozumi Village

Upon hearing Chen Xiao's words, Chunfeng showed no fear; instead, a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes.

She stood on tiptoe, hugging Chen Xiao from behind, her red lips almost touching his earlobe: "So... how does Chen Xiao want to violate me?" Her voice was seductive, her fingers already restlessly unbuttoning Chen Xiao's shirt.

Chen Xiao's eyes darkened, and he pinned her against the bathroom wall with his other hand.

In the steamy mist, their lips met in a passionate kiss, warm droplets sliding down their intertwined bodies. The spring breeze gently encircled his neck, and his bathrobe slipped silently down…

[500 words of detailed description omitted here]

After half an hour.

"Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully connected with Chunfeng, one of the female protagonists of Baiyun! And you have perfectly captured the pure love aspect! Reward: Summon a random female servant!"

A system notification suddenly sounded in Chen Xiao's mind, and a silver-white summon appeared in his hand.

He looked down at the tired yet content girl in his arms and communicated with the system: "What does 'summoning a female attendant' mean?"

"It summons a random female character from another dimension. Once summoned, she will be bound to you, the host, and will be unable to refuse any of your commands or requests! The coin in your hand is the summoning object; you can use the coin to summon her at any time!"

A playful smile appeared on Chen Xiao's lips. A coin? What would it summon? "Summon immediately."

Meanwhile, inside a dessert shop in Academy City.

"Big sister~ Ah~ Come and have some Kuroko's ice cream!" Shirai Kuroko was holding a strawberry ice cream, looking at the brown-haired girl opposite her with a face full of anticipation.

Misaka Mikoto opened her mouth helplessly: "Seriously, Kuroko, you..." Before she could finish speaking, her figure suddenly turned into countless points of light and disappeared in Shirai Kuroko's horrified gaze.

"Big sister, where have you gone?!"

A dazzling light flashed in the bathroom.

Misaka Mikoto staggered in front of Chen Xiao, with a half-melted ice cream still in her mouth.

She looked around blankly, and when she saw Chen Xiao, who was only wrapped in a bath towel, and Chunfeng, whose clothes were disheveled, her short brown hair suddenly sparkled.

"Where...where is this?! Who are you?!" Blue lightning crackled from her fingertips, but vanished the instant it touched Chen Xiao.

The system notification sounded at the right time: "Summoned character: Misaka Mikoto (LV5 esper), has been bound to the host."

Chen Xiao looked at the unexpected visitor with great interest: "Welcome to... Baizhuo Village."

Misaka Mikoto frowned, crossed her arms, and crackled with electricity from her body.

She glared at Chen Xiao and said, enunciating each word clearly, "You'd better explain yourself properly, or else—"

"Or you can give me a shock? Little girl, you try it if you dare!" Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow, his tone relaxed, not intimidated by her threat at all.

Misaka Mikoto's cheeks puffed out in anger. She suddenly raised her hand, and a blue-white arc of electricity condensed at her fingertips. But just as the arc was about to strike Chen Xiao, an invisible force forcibly suppressed her ability, and the current dissipated instantly.
