Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

If things continue like this, sooner or later the other party will be able to do whatever they want with us.

Anytime, anywhere, extremely perverted, committing crimes against the wind?

No! Absolutely not!

Seeing the way Jianzi was screaming wildly in her heart, Xia Yan's lips curled into a wicked smile.

He certainly wouldn't actually do anything to Miko outside; he just wanted to tease her and see her make a contorted expression.

Before taking action, they had already created illusions around the area.

Not to mention that he will stop at the crucial moment, even if Jianzi can't help himself at the time, no outsider will notice anything unusual.

After all, only he could appreciate the shy expression on Zi's face.

Chapter 270 Emotional Consumption Is Undesirable

'Is that all right...?'

'perhaps……'

Inside the Dunji Department Store, in the rosary specialty store.

Looking at the four strings of black prayer beads on her two wrists, Jianzi felt a greater sense of security.

Is it just psychological...?

"Hey, Xia Yan. How are you feeling?"

"As for how I feel... I don't really feel anything special..."

"No, I wouldn't say I feel nothing at all. It's like walking down the street and seeing an ugly person spitting on the ground—that level of disgust. It's probably something like that, something to give you psychological comfort?"

'So, it's useful, right?'

Upon hearing Xia Yan's answer, Jianzi smiled with satisfaction.

"Just these four skewers, no need for packaging."

"Thank you, the total is 16,000 yen."

Looking at her wallet, which was half empty, Jianzi felt a little heartbroken, but she still bought the four strings of 05 Buddhist prayer beads that Xia Yan had described as "not very useful" without hesitation.

This was the only rosary that Xia Yan deemed somewhat useful after she had repeatedly compared and inquired with others.

She spent a full half hour choosing these four strings of prayer beads.

It wasn't that she didn't trust Xia Yan, or that she still harbored some naive idea of ​​using prayer beads to restrict him.

As the saying goes, "The moment the thought of seeking refuge in summer arises, one suddenly feels the vastness of the world."

Since she started accepting Xia Yan and took the initiative to activate the membership recharge service, although it has only been a few days, she has felt an unprecedented sense of security.

Although I still won't actively provoke evil spirits, I generally try to avoid them and pretend I can't see them.

However, when certain unavoidable situations occur, they will not simply close their eyes and wait for death as before.

Instead, approach it with a playful attitude, similar to visiting a haunted house.

You might scare me, but that's all you can do. If you push me too far, I'll have Xia Yan scatter your ashes.

The reason I still bought this thing was because of a more complicated idea, one that even I, Miko, found a bit twisted.

If she doesn't do something, Miko will feel like a bad woman who sells her body.

Although Xia Yan also said that protecting one's woman is a man's duty.

However, as Miko's feelings for Natsuhiko deepened, this impure feeling intensified, to the point that Miko felt a vague sense of guilt.

Seeing that Zi also understood that having such thoughts was entirely her own affectation.

Perhaps at first she did have some ulterior motives, but now even if Xia Yan no longer protects her, she is willing to accept him as a lover, even though he always bullies her...

These four strings of prayer beads make Jianzi feel that she is also making an effort.

It would make her feel much better about her sentimental thoughts.

In other words, this thing is indeed a psychological comfort, but it is not used to soothe fear, but rather to soothe Miko's sentimental girlish heart.

"Sorry, Xiaohua, it took a little longer to choose the prayer beads..." After paying the bill, Jianzi smiled apologetically at Xiaohua, who was holding a pink plush rabbit in her arms.

After all, she hadn't expected that she would have to spend so much time choosing.

"Ah, it's alright, it's alright! Anyway, Miko already helped me buy what I wanted, and I made Miko wait a long time because I got on the wrong bus! But 'Tonkichi' really has everything!"

Xiaohua hugged the pink plush rabbit doll in her arms tightly.

The rabbit's mouth is shaped like the letter Λ, and it looks unhappy. Combined with its soft and cute appearance and pink color scheme, it gives people a cute contrast.

"You bought another rabbit plushie... Don't you already have a lot of the same kind at home?"

"It's not 'that rabbit,' it's 'Ram Rabbit,' Lambda the little rabbit!"

Xiao Hua corrected him, mimicking Ram Rabbit's expression.

I have to say, she really did a pretty good job of imitating it.

With her downturned lips and a displeased look in her pale purple eyes, coupled with her soft, cute face, she looked even cuter than a rabbit doll.

Jianzi stretched out his left hand and stroked Xiaohua's fair face, then gently pinched it.

"Eh!? I see you...?"

Xiao Hua blushed and took a half step back, her expression a mixture of surprise and delight.

It's not that I felt anything ambiguous about having my cheek pinched.

However, seeing that Zi rarely did such things before, and that her usual reactions were very calm, this sudden act of intimacy made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Ah...sorry, Hua. My hand just started moving on its own, hehe..."

Seeing this, Zi gave an awkward smile.

Indeed, it was beyond their control.

This action was performed by Xia Yan manipulating Jian Zi's hand.

"Hmm → Hmm↗" Xiaohua shook her head. "Although I was startled, I'm very happy. These things are cuter when there are many of them together! Besides, didn't Jianzi also buy four strings of Buddhist prayer beads?"

"Yeah, the more you wear this kind of thing, the stronger it becomes!"

"Powerful...?"

Although it was a bit strange for Jianzi to describe the bracelet as "powerful," Xiaohua didn't dwell on it too much.

He simply stuffed the newly bought Ram rabbit into the matching backpack, leaving the rabbit's upper limbs and head exposed, making the rabbit look like it had been kidnapped but was powerless to resist.

After all, the two of them came out to have fun. Although they had already achieved their main goal, they weren't planning to go straight home after selling everything.

Next, we'll stroll around the surrounding pedestrian streets. Although it's cute to carry around like this, it's not very convenient to move around.

"Hey—, speaking of which, is it really fashionable to wear prayer beads these days?"

"It's trending, it's trending," Jianzi said somewhat perfunctorily.

She couldn't very well say that this thing was for warding off evil spirits, or her friends would think she was weird.

"Huh? But I don't see anyone else wearing it..."

"Because I'm at the forefront of trends."

"So, does that mean it won't be long before it becomes popular?! Should I buy one too...?"

Upon hearing Jianzi's words, Xiaohua became excited, her eyes sparkling.

They seem easy to fool.

Remembering that Xiao Hua had been targeted by that lecherous ghost, and what Xia Yan had said about her constitution that easily attracts evil spirits, Jian Zi stopped in her tracks.

We also need to help Xiaohua improve her defense against evil spirits!

"What's wrong? See Zi?" Xiao Hua tilted her head in confusion.

"This is for you!"

Jianzi took off two strings of prayer beads from her wrist and handed them to Xiaohua.

Chapter 271 Joy Turns to Sorrow

"Really for me!? Thank you! Hehehehe—"

Upon hearing Jianzi's words, Xiaohua asked in surprise, a silly smile spreading across his face.

"It's the same style as Miko's! Now we're both at the forefront of fashion!"

"As a thank you, I'll treat you to some butt-shaped daifuku!"

"Huh? 'Butt Daifuku'? What's that?" Jianzi asked, somewhat surprised.

Perhaps it's because of her upbringing, but hearing this name always makes Jianzi feel a little strange.

"Soft and chewy, bouncy and delicious~".

As if thinking of the deliciousness of daifuku, a happy expression appeared on Xiaohua's face.

She led Jianzi a couple of steps forward, pointed to a somewhat dark alley, and said, "If you go through this alley, you'll arrive in no time!"

Before Jianzi could even speak, he eagerly ran towards the other end of the alley.

"Hurry up and let's go see Zi!"

Looking at Xiao Hua, who turned around and smiled sweetly at him, and the evil spirits that filled the alley behind her, Jian Zi's lips twitched slightly.

"Wait a minute, Xiao Hua!"

Seeing that Ziwei had stretched out a hand, she made a gesture as if to wait a moment.

Let alone just eating a strangely shaped daifuku, even if someone offered her money, she would absolutely not want to step into this alley.

But as soon as she reached out her hand, she found that the evil spirits in the alley retreated and huddled close to the walls on both sides of the alley, as if they did not want to get close to the two of them.

Oh dear, they've all backed away...

What kind of power is this?!
