Anime Crossover: These Heroines Are All Abnormal

"Of course not," Qi Xia said angrily. "How could I mistake my sister? Besides, my sisters are forever seventeen years old, and that woman doesn't look like her at all!"

After a long silence, Mu Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment, then said, "There is only one conclusion."

"what?"

Qi Xia, look over here.

“The so-called paradise,” Mu Xiaoxiao sighed, “is a special space, not the real world, so you can’t enter through the Anywhere Door. Therefore, you can only come to the real world, to this town in the same location.”

Why did Qi Xia's pupils widen?

"Don't worry too much. Although we can't enter through the Anywhere Door, the location should be correct. We might be able to find an entrance near this town. Let's investigate the surrounding area first and figure out where we are before we decide what to do next."

At present, it is just an ordinary rural town.

Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Tokyo Boy and a Country Teacher

From the bustling, rain-drenched Tokyo with its towering skyscrapers and dazzling lights, the two outsiders find themselves in a predicament when they arrive in this rural town with its clear night skies, fresh air, and rustic charm.

Instead of entering the amusement park, they attracted the attention and search of the villagers in the town.

However, this rural town was quite large, and this little disturbance was not enough to spread to the whole town. Soon the noise faded into the distance. Qi Xia followed behind Mu Xiaoxiao, watching the boy in front of her stroll leisurely along the country road. "You don't seem to be in a hurry at all."

“There’s no use rushing things,” Mu Xiaoxiao said, savoring the atmosphere of the countryside. “It seems your wish can’t be fulfilled in the short term. Let’s come back this weekend. For now, let’s try to find out some information.”

"Qi Xia, you really have no memory of this place?"

“No,” the girl’s golden hair drifted past Mu Xiaoxiao, carrying a slightly alluring fragrance. She quickly walked in front of Mu Xiaoxiao and stepped back to face him, sighing, “I have no idea about this place.”

After saying that, she tapped her head and stuck out her tongue. "Maybe it's because I was always locked in the amusement park before and never came here. The first place I appeared in was Tokyo."

Her tone held a hint of disappointment, but Mu Xiaoxiao's calm demeanor still influenced her. The ghost girl put aside her unease and opened her eyes wide, "Mu Jun, do you have any ideas?"

"Ask the people in this town if there have been any paranormal events or phenomena in the area, such as spirits disappearing from sight—"

He suddenly stopped and looked up at the dark forest in the distance. "There must be a lot of similar rumors in remote rural towns like this, especially about dangerous areas that are off-limits. That forest is a rather suspicious place."

A dark shadow flashed past in the direction Mu Xiaoxiao pointed.

Looking towards the sky, Qi Xia saw a sika deer.

"deer?"

The ghost girl asked in confusion, "A sika deer in the forest?"

“No, it must have come from the other side of the road,” Mu Xiaoxiao said with a subtle expression. “I had heard that the extinction of Japanese wolves had led to an overpopulation of sika deer, and that hunting deer here was a legal activity. I never expected to actually witness it.”

"..."

Whether it sensed the killing intent or was frightened by the humans, the sika deer quickly disappeared at the edge of the field. Mu Xiaoxiao didn't move at all and didn't intend to give it the Momotaro rice ball.

"Shall we go in and take a look?" Qi Xia turned around and walked alongside him. "There might be some animals in the forest~".

She said with a grin, "It can give you more friends."

"Looks like you're in a good mood, still thinking about my affairs," Mu Xiaoxiao took out her phone and looked at it. It showed "[Inside the Circle]", indicating that this was the real world, not the plot of a horror movie.

Sigh, I'm a little disappointed.

However, recalling how she passed through the Anywhere Door and appeared in someone else's house, admiring some human body art, Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. It wasn't a horror movie, it was an erotic movie.

"I just felt that you helped me, and I also hoped to help you. Oh, this really is Kyushu Island." Stepping onto the streets of the town, most of the shops were already closed, with only a few restaurants, shops, and 24-hour convenience stores still open. Mu Xiaoxiao and Qi Xia, the two students, did not attract much attention.

I saw the place name on the plaque, and it turned out to be a remote rural town in Kyushu.

The location is correct, and the Anywhere Door works fine too.

"Want to grab some late-night snacks?" Mu Xiaoxiao noticed a small oden stall ahead. "It's the middle of the night, and I'm a little hungry."

The most obvious change after evolution is increased appetite; the body needs to replenish a large amount of energy to maintain itself.

Qi Xia did not refuse. They sat down on the stools. The owner was an older woman. She looked at the two customers with a slightly strange expression. "Are you still students? It's so late and you're not going home to rest. Be careful you don't get caught and questioned by the police."

“No, no, no, we’re not students,” Mu Xiaoxiao pointed to a bottle of wine. “She and I are both Hayato now. How about it, boss, a bottle of wine?”

“Naraka Hayato doesn’t look like it at all. I won’t sell you alcohol unless you have a work permit or driver’s license.”

"You're quite principled, aren't you? Fine then, two cans of coffee will do."

It was late, and there were hardly any people around. Apart from Mu Xiaoxiao and her group, there were no other customers. The mild-flavored oden was quite suitable for Qi Xia's taste.

She enjoyed her meal very much.

"This town looks very cozy," Mu Xiaoxiao chatted with the female shop owner.

"You're from outside?" she looked over curiously. "No wonder the town is so peaceful. Although it's not as bustling as outside, the pace of life here is slow, and everyone is used to it."

"Has there been any news or strange occurrences around here lately?"

"Meow~".

Mu Xiaoxiao picked up a fish ball and put it into Luna's mouth, silencing her.

"The town has been very peaceful, nothing has happened. Why are you asking this?"

"Oh, just pure curiosity. We came here to explore. There must be supernatural stories and mysterious legends in remote rural towns like this."

The female boss was a little unhappy, "That's prejudice. We don't have any of those mystical beliefs here..."

It seems we can't get any useful information.

Luna sat on Mu Xiaoxiao's lap, tasting various small dumplings. Suddenly, she looked up, her sharp eyes gazing into the distance. She noticed someone approaching from afar, and it was someone she knew.

Darkness could not impede Luna's vision. Even in complete darkness, Luna could still clearly see the other person's appearance. It was the sound of wooden clogs stepping on the ground. Then, a beautiful woman in a kimono appeared under the streetlights.

Her long, black hair reached her waist, and her charming face revealed a hint of indifference and aloofness. However, that indifferent expression was quickly replaced by curiosity when she saw Mu Xiaoxiao and the other person. She was walking towards them.

clatter----

The woman in the kimono stopped in front of the stall, then sat down next to Mu Xiaoxiao with perfect ease and said calmly, "One for me too."

"Ok."

As the woman sat down, the scent of shower gel mixed with a unique body fragrance wafted over, refreshing and invigorating, sexy yet elegant. This mature demeanor and temperament were something that Nanao Akane and the others could never learn.

Mu Xiaoxiao remained unmoved.

He didn't look up and continued eating a piece of radish, as if he didn't know that someone had come to his side. However, Qi Xia, who was sitting on the other side of Mu Xiaoxiao, looked over with a strange look. Wasn't this the woman who had been seen naked by Mu Xiaoxiao when she accidentally entered that family's house before?

Hey! The person in question is here, why are you still calmly eating?

"Meow----"

Luna's sharp gaze remained fixed on the other person, her eyes burning even as she forgot to eat the delicious dumplings.

“Such an adorable kitten,” Mu Xiaoxiao said, able to contain herself, but Ms. Touxia couldn’t. She turned to look at the kitten with its clear eyes and asked, “Want to try some?”

Luna ignored her.

The woman calmly withdrew her hand, put down the bamboo skewer, sighed, and faced the boy's profile directly beside her. "I originally thought this cat had spotted me first, but it seems you knew I was here much earlier. I'm curious, why didn't you run away?"

Mu Xiaoxiao paused, then casually fed Luna a dumpling, patting her soft back. "I'm also quite curious. Since you saw us here, why didn't you call for help?"

Mu Xiaoxiao turned around and met the eyes of this beautiful lady.

“Using questions to answer questions is cunning,” she said with displeasure. “Calling for help won’t do any good either. Even if you do call for help, they probably won’t be able to catch you.”

She thought of what she had seen before and spoke softly.

"Since you already know it's useless, what am I afraid of?" Mu Xiaoxiao's smile widened.

The woman seemed somewhat helpless. "So, what I saw before was all real?"

"Huh? What did you see? What do you mean? I don't quite understand," Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly looked confused, her big eyes revealing a clear naiveté. "Madam, do we know each other?"

Mu Xiaoxiao's sudden change of direction almost made her throw up her back. Tou Xia narrowed her eyes, staring at this drama queen, her face full of black lines. "If you were my student, I would give you proper education and guidance."

"So you're a teacher? My apologies," Mu Xiaoxiao leaned back strategically, then patted her chest with lingering fear. "Luckily, my homeroom teacher isn't you. She's just as charming as you, and she's very gentle."

Card----

The veins on Touxia's forehead were even more prominent.

Watching the two of them arguing, Qi Xia chuckled to herself. In fact, Mu Xiao's words were not wrong. That teacher, Shirakawa Miwa, did have a rather gentle personality, and in terms of charm, the two were about the same.

Touxia took a deep breath, sensing that this kid was different from her other students and a bit difficult to deal with. "Stop pretending. Now that I see you here, I'm certain that what I saw and heard before wasn't an illusion."

The wife looked serious. "Aren't you right?"

Mu Xiaoxiao put down her bowl. "Why bother? Are you so insistent on asking this because you want me to remember what happened back then?"

His eyes, like laser beams, swept over the woman's kimono-clad body. "Okay, I admit it, it wasn't a hallucination. I really did see you naked, whether it was your stunning figure, your snow-white skin, or even your chest..."

"stop!!!"

Tou Xia was getting increasingly tense, glaring at Mu Xiaoxiao with eyes that looked like she wanted to kill her. The latter spread her hands and said, "I had already forgotten about it, but you've reminded me of it again."

"..."

Ms. Touka realized that her stern gaze had no effect on him, and could only sigh softly in the end, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone your secret. As a teacher and an adult, I keep my word."

“I believe you,” Mu Xiaoxiao said, her playful expression fading as she smiled and extended her hand. “Mu Xiaoxiao is an ordinary high school student from Tokyo.”

“Touxia,” the beautiful lady said, shaking his hand, knowing he was being sincere. “An ordinary teacher from a small rural town.”

Chapter 80 You're Going a Bit Extreme

This guy actually claims to be an ordinary high school student? It's unbelievable that he can even say that. I feel sorry for the teacher who has such an unreliable student; it must be very tough.

However, upon further reflection, she recalled the miraculous scene she had witnessed. Whether it was the image of him appearing out of thin air or the way he could take objects from a distance, it all deeply moved Touka.

"As a teacher, I have unwavering faith in science. I believe that all supernatural rumors and phenomena are false," said Teacher Touka, her feelings complicated, as she felt a crack appear in the worldview she had upheld for many years.

“That just means you’re not very knowledgeable,” Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged. “After all, you’re just a teacher in a small rural town. You should go out and explore more of the outside world, sir. Times have changed.”

Although I've lived in this place since I was a child, it doesn't mean I'm isolated from the world, okay? The beautiful teacher Touxia stared at Mu Xiaoxiao expressionlessly. She didn't reveal her emotions, but asked meaningfully.

"So, Mu Xiaoxiao, who comes from a big city, are you saying that many supernatural creatures have appeared outside? Kyoto has been taken over by the Tale of a Hundred Demons?"

"It's not just a few signs, and you saw it with your own eyes, didn't you?" Mu Xiaoxiao said, finally getting to the point. "Urban legends or supernatural tales are common everywhere, and I think it's the same here. Teacher Touka, there must be some unusual rumors or legends in this town, right?"

"Is this why you came here?"

Miss Touka seemed to understand. She ordered a bottle of beer, took a swig, and after tasting the alcohol, slowly said, "No."

Mu Xiaoxiao frowned.

“Impossible,” the boy said, but Qi Xia couldn’t help asking, “This town looks quite old, doesn’t it have any ancient legends or stories?”

“I grew up here and have been exposed to a lot of knowledge since I became a teacher. I have learned about local things. Many students in the school are interested in paranormal phenomena or local legends, but it’s just a game.”

“Nothing like disappearances, mysterious murders, or anything like that has ever happened in this town. There haven’t even been any car accidents. It’s quiet and peaceful here,” she said, looking earnestly at Mu Xiaoxiao. “Maybe big cities have a lot of urban legends, maybe Tokyo really does have monsters and evil spirits, but those things have nothing to do with this town.”

Mu Xiaoxiao was not swayed by her words and gestured towards the distance, "Has anyone been inside that forest?"

"Of course, people have been inside. Apart from dangerous wild boars and bears, there's nothing else. Oh, and there are also a large number of deer. Every year, teams are formed to hunt sika deer to control their numbers, otherwise the forests and farmlands will be severely damaged."

"Has anything strange happened in town recently, or is there any news about it? Not just recently, but any number of years is fine."

“No, I told you this town is very peaceful, without all that commotion,” Mrs. Touxia said, then suddenly tilted her head back and took a swig of wine, her delicate face showing a distinct gloom. “But you’ve reminded me, there’s been some big news lately.”

"Oh?"

Touxia, feeling her alcohol-numbed brain, spoke coldly into the summer night breeze, "How about the news that a very famous teacher in the small town was cheated on? They were a couple blessed by everyone, walking down the aisle together, and after so many years of relationship, he ended up keeping a mistress behind his wife's back?"

Mu Xiaoxiao is embarrassed.

I'm asking about paranormal events, not gossip!

He asked strangely, "You're not talking about yourself, are you?"

Touxia didn't answer, and took another gulp of water, feeling frustrated. "Yeah, no need to explain, I understand, I understand everything."

As Mu Xiaoxiao was pondering how to respond—whether to comfort her or change the subject—Qi Xia spoke up first, the ghostly girl's voice brimming with innocence, "Is it strange to keep women? There's nothing wrong with having two wives, is there?"

Quiet.

very quiet.

Mu Xiaoxiao and Teacher Touxia both stopped what they were doing and stared at her with strange looks. The latter didn't care. "Mu Xiaoxiao, don't you also have a lot of women, far more than two? This is what it means to have a harem, right? I know."
