Anime Crossover: These Heroines Are All Abnormal

The girls fell silent, shaking their heads frantically. They didn't want to change their personalities, not even Xiao, who had once wanted to. They also didn't want to eat this. They quickly changed the subject, "Xiao, you said you went to Kyushu this time for that ghost lady. Speaking of which, where is Miss Qixia? Can't she show up?"

"Are you trying to scare everyone in the car to death?" Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "Let's talk about it when we get to Touxia's house."

They chatted and ate snacks along the way, taking the Shinkansen for several hours to Kyushu. Then, led by Touka, they boarded a train to a rural town and experienced the somewhat dilapidated train.

The place was empty; there were indeed few passengers.

But the view of the railway tracks and the surrounding countryside forests outside the window was particularly beautiful, especially the old and empty platforms. Combined with the summer sunset and the sound of cicadas all around, it felt like stepping into a comic book world.

"How beautiful!" After getting off the train, the group stood by the tracks with their luggage, gazing at the summer sunset in the distance and the light and shadow on the platform, immersed in this beautiful scenery.

"There are fewer and fewer young people in Japanese villages now, and it's mostly elderly people who stay here. There is no concept of household registration in Japan, so young people all go to big cities. But these small places have a unique kind of beauty."

Mu Xiaoxiao took out her phone and took a few photos.

"I'm used to it, so I guess." Touxia has been here for decades and is used to it. "Actually, Shuilian and the others also want to leave. They've mentioned this idea to me several times when they called."

"Then let's go to Tokyo. Anyway, Touka, you've already decided to settle down in Tokyo."

Chatting casually about everyday matters, Mu Xiaoxiao led a group of beautiful young women into the rural town, returning to Touxia's hometown. The sudden arrival of a group of young people caused a slight disturbance in the village, as outsiders rarely visited. However, upon seeing that it was Touxia, the villagers dispersed, and peace returned to normal.

But when Touka returned home, her expression suddenly turned serious. "Water Lily? Aoi?"

The room was quiet; there was no response. "Where is he?"

Chapter 198 The Missing Daughters

Touka returned to her hometown town. It had only been a month since she left, and nothing had really changed. The town was as peaceful and tranquil as ever, with a kind of lazy and slow pace that was unique to rural towns. Akane and the others were also immersed in this special atmosphere.

There are also the mountains surrounding the town, with beautiful scenery. Because few people have set foot there, they have retained some of their original features. Even Touka and Akane couldn't resist wanting to go there for an adventure.

However, this peaceful atmosphere took an unexpected turn upon returning home. The expected scene of the daughters coming out to greet them did not appear, and the room was empty. Neither Shui Lian nor Kui could be seen.

"Water Lotus, Aoi?"

After searching the surroundings without finding anyone, and after Touka tried calling them but couldn't get through, she finally realized something was wrong. Mrs. Touka looked flustered and said, "Xiaoxiao, Shuilian and Kui are missing!"

"I can't get through on the phone, and they're not replying to messages or emails. What should I do?"

How could something like this happen to these two children so soon after I left? Touka was both worried and helpless. Touka put down her luggage and came out of the house. "I just saw some leftover snacks on the table. It shouldn't have been too long since they went missing. They shouldn't be in any danger."

"Teacher Touka, don't worry," Akane Nanao comforted her, "With Koko here, we'll find them!"

Mu Xiaoxiao, who was the center of attention, didn't say much. He knew that Touxia was very anxious at the moment, so he took out a search stick from his system backpack. "Maybe they are in a place in the mountains where there is no signal. Touxia, don't worry."

As the button on the search cane was pressed, the usually stable search cane suddenly became abnormal. After pointing in one direction, it started to shake, then changed direction, and then changed position again.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, it swayed and spun around, seemingly without a stable position, constantly shifting. This bizarre scene terrified Touxia even more. "Xiaoxiao?"

Even a search cane can't pinpoint the location of someone?

Suddenly, Qi Xia, who had been in ghost form, flew in front of them. She gradually materialized, and the blonde ghost girl appeared before so many people for the first time. With her big eyes, she asked, "Xiao Xiao, is it possible that they accidentally wandered into that place?"

that place?

Mu Xiaoxiao immediately understood what she meant. "You mean that amusement park? Indeed, if my search cane wasn't broken, then this is the only explanation: entering another space made the search cane lose its bearings."

Touxia also remembered that so-called paradise. He met Xiaoxiao because of this extraordinary paradise. Xiaoxiao came to this small rural town in search of the mysterious paradise, which led to a series of events between them.

I came back this time to help Qixia find that paradise. "But what should we do? Isn't this even more dangerous? That paradise..."

“Sister Touka, it’s alright. The sisters are there. They will protect Miss Shuilian’s safety.” When talking about her sisters, Qixia’s expression was somewhat complicated. “Sister Yixia…they are all very reliable people.”

"Master came here this time for that amusement park," Rurikawa Tsubaki said calmly, "and the search cane is responding, which at least means they are still alive, Touka-sensei, please don't worry."

After being comforted by everyone, Touxia gradually calmed down and returned to her usual self. She nodded gently, "Xiaoxiao, I'm counting on you." Because of this, no one was in the mood to go out for fun. They all gathered around the dining table in the room to discuss it. The room was lit up, and Mu Xiaoxiao tapped her fingers lightly on the table, jokingly saying, "I don't know how they did it."

"I spent ages trying to find a way to get to the amusement park last time but failed. I never expected that Shui Lian and Kui would succeed."

“I remember you said that you can enter that place by crossing the boundary between life and death,” Yukino Fuyuki said thoughtfully, recalling the last time she came here. “Should we give it a try?”

"Isn't this too dangerous?" Ji Youhou worried.

“Let me do it,” Touxia volunteered. She was willing to take the risk for her daughter, and she would feel guilty if she made Xiaoxiao do something so dangerous. “I’ve evolved before, so even if I get hit by a car, I won’t be in any danger.”

Listening to the girls chatting amongst themselves, Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and made a decision.

“It’s precisely because there’s no danger to life that it’s difficult to succeed. To enter the park this way, you have to actually experience life and death. Otherwise, I would have succeeded last time,” Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and refused. “But actually experiencing death is too dangerous. I’m not at ease with that.”

Mu Xiaoxiao waved her hand to interrupt Touxia, "I have other methods, don't worry."

Akane Nanao and Yoshida stared curiously at Mu Xiaoxiao. When they saw the boy they liked take out a card and place it in front of them, and see that it was a contact card for a good friend, the others looked confused, but Touka Tohsaka suddenly realized what it meant.

She recalled her past self, when her father passed away and she met Mu Xiaoxiao. It was the time travel function of the communication card that enabled her to save her father and change the fate of the Tohsaka family.

Although she rarely uses it, the Good Friend Communication Card is always her most precious possession. Now is the time to put it to good use. Mu Xiaoxiao held the card up to her eyes, looked at her own little image on it under the light, and squinted her eyes.

The power of miracles

It contains the power to witness miracles, but how do we bring it out? Through intense emotions?

Thinking about it, Touka Tohsaka's eyes lit up as her friend's communication card suddenly glowed. "Little one, it works! It's exactly the same as the one I had before!" Seeing Akane and the others' bewildered expressions, Touka Tohsaka took the opportunity to explain the friend's communication card's abilities, especially her own experience of time travel. This magical power gradually put Touka at ease.

Even Tsubaki Rurikawa was astonished; this kind of miraculous power was terrifying!

However, although the communication card emitted light, there was no further reaction. Neither time travel nor any other phenomenon occurred. Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned, scratched her head, and then the prop emitted light and then there was no further action.

"What happened? It's gone just like that?"

Just like a progress bar suddenly getting stuck, Mu Xiaoxiao was disappointed. He looked at Yukino and Fuyuki, and clearly felt that his friend's communication card had indeed been activated and its power had been triggered.

The problem is, wait a minute!

A sudden inspiration struck Mu Xiaoxiao. She rummaged through her backpack for a while, then her face lit up with joy as she pulled out a string of antique-looking ornaments. "Found it! I found this in that abandoned shrine last time..."

Mouth..............!

The girls couldn't hear what came after that. After touching the Seven Goddesses pendant, the communication card shone brightly, and Mu Xiaoxiao disappeared in the light, vanishing from the room.

"Owner!!!"

Rurikawa Tsubaki stood up in shock.

Nanatsu held her head in her hands, her long blonde hair swaying from side to side. "Why didn't you take me with you?!" Yoshida and Nanao Akane worriedly tugged at Tohsaka Touka's sleeve. The senior's expression remained calm. "The communication card must have worked. It took him to that amusement park. It's alright. Everyone knows how strong Xiao Xiao is. He won't be in any danger."

“Those are the ornaments of the Seven Goddesses,” Yukino Fuyu explained. “I found them in that abandoned shrine when I came here last time. I thought they were just antiques or toys, but I didn’t expect them to work with the communication card.”

"In short, Ms. Touka's daughter should be out of danger."

Touxia didn't speak, her red lips pursed, her expression complicated. She was worried about Mu Xiaoxiao and also felt a little guilty. Although she knew he was very powerful, she felt uneasy for putting Xiaoxiao in danger for the sake of Shuilian and the others.

If Xiaoxiao can return safely, then I might not object to his relationship with Shuilian and the others. Touka never allowed Xiaoxiao to seduce her daughter; what kind of mother and daughter are together…? But now, Touka-sensei only hopes they can return safely; as for that absurd ethical relationship, she doesn't care anymore.

Aoi stood halfway up the mountain, looking down at the lifeless town at the foot of the mountain. Her short, silvery-white hair swayed slightly in the wind, and the girl's already aloof and pretty face became even colder.

"Aoi, what are you doing here?"

Shui Lian struggled through the vines and branches to reach her sister's side. "There's no one in that town, and you can't see anything else."

“It’s not just that small town; there’s no one around this mountain except for that old school building and those girls,” Aoi said, glancing back at her sister. “Even if we wanted to leave, we couldn’t.”

This place was like a secluded paradise, and although it was nice to stay for a few days, she longed to go home and leave. Kui tried many methods, but all were in vain; neither she nor her sister could escape the prison.

“Mom said she would come back during the holidays, but we’ve been here for almost a week now. She must have realized we’re missing.”

Shui Lian's long hair fluttered in the wind. The beautiful and gentle girl smiled and ruffled her sister's silver hair. "That's why you don't need to worry anymore. Mom knows, and Mu Jun should be able to find out too. He will definitely come to save us."

Aoi looked at her sister with a strange gaze and said subtly, "Sister Shuilian, you seem to trust him quite a bit."

Unlike her anxious younger sister, Kui, the older sister, Shui Lian, wasn't too worried after realizing she couldn't escape these past few days. She seemed to believe that Mu Xiaoxiao would come to rescue her. "Well, isn't Mu Jun's purpose in coming to Kyushu this paradise? So he'll come sooner or later, especially since Mu Jun is so powerful,"

As a girl who had been saved by Mu Xiaoxiao, Shui Lian naturally trusted him completely.

But the way my sister said it gave off a slightly ambiguous vibe.

However, even knowing that this was somewhat ambiguous, Shui Lian still couldn't control herself. When she encountered danger and was in a strange and unfamiliar environment, Mu Xiaoxiao's image was more memorable than her childhood sweetheart, and it kept appearing in her mind.

Mu Jun

Chapter 199 Welcome to Seven Summer Paradise

It was already evening when they arrived at Teacher Touka's house. After searching for Shui Lian and Kui in the town, it was already dark. But the moment Mu Xiaoxiao regained her vision from the light of her best friend's communication card...

The chirping of cicadas and the intense sunlight overhead confirmed to Mu Xiaoxiao that she had left Touxia's house and arrived at an unfamiliar open space. She was surrounded by a dense forest with no paths. Although the sounds of insects and birds were very lively, they gave Mu Xiaoxiao a strange feeling.

It was a sense of unease. "It succeeded?"

Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, "As expected, using this Seven Goddess pendant is useful! Combined with my good friend's communication card, I can reach this place without experiencing the realm of death. The paradise that Qi Xia mentioned... we're finally in!!"

But it seems like I'm the only one who came.

But it doesn't matter. Mu Xiaoxiao never intended to involve them. She only wanted to help Qixia rescue her sisters. Oh right, now we have to add two more, Shui Lian and Kui.

"Sure enough, Shui Lian and Kui are here." Mu Xiaoxiao tried using her search cane, and the previous erratic swinging didn't happen. This time it worked. The cane pointed forward, and Mu Xiaoxiao looked up at the only path in front of her.

A dark and deep passage, the tunnel was enormous, like the mouth of a giant beast, ready to devour everything in sight. What lay inside was unknown, making one feel uneasy.

But Mu Xiaoxiao remained calm.

He first took out his phone and saw the notification from "Outside the Circle". Then he took out the Anywhere Door, but the power of the Anywhere Door disappeared, and he could not return to the real world.

"I can't get in touch with Touka and Nanaka for the time being."

Mu Xiaoxiao put her phone back in her pocket, stretched her neck, and smiled excitedly. "Let me see what this so-called 'paradise' is all about."

He knew about Qian's background, but he had no recollection of Qi Xia and this so-called paradise, so he was naturally very curious. Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her foot and walked into the depths of the tunnel, her figure gradually disappearing into the darkness.

The tunnel suddenly became very quiet. The pitch-black environment did not affect Mu Xiaoxiao's vision, but there was nothing here except a straight road. After walking for about a kilometer, light appeared ahead, which meant that she had probably reached the exit.

After passing through the tunnel, the view suddenly opened up, and the dazzling sunlight once again enveloped her head. It seemed to be afternoon, as the forest trees here were somewhat sparse. A stone path stretched out under her feet, and Mu Xiaoxiao followed the path for another ten minutes or so before finally seeing a wooden school building standing alone in the distance.

"School building?"

The school building was old but very clean, and it looked like it had been around for a long time. Mu Xiaoxiao looked up for a while and smiled. "So far, we haven't met a single descendant. Usually in comics, this is a ghost story, but since Qixia is a ghost, it's not a problem to talk about ghosts."

He is naturally not afraid of ghosts.

Mu Xiaoxiao walked in with a big swagger.

The school building was also very quiet. Mu Xiaoxiao did not go inside, but instead walked around the courtyard. When he reached the back of the school building, he suddenly heard faint sounds of laughter. Following the sound, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped, and the laughter also quieted down.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment.

Mu Xiaoxiao's big eyes seemed to want to imprint the beautiful bodies of the girls in the hot spring in his mind. Well, he was just too surprised and vaguely remembered that he had encountered similar things before.

However, when Touka was soaking in the hot spring and he saw her naked, he did have some reaction, so why are these girls so calm? No, they don't seem to be calm at all.

"Pancreas? Someone's here again?"

"What's going on? There have been outsiders entering this place lately. Could it be that some hidden passage has appeared again?"

No, this is illegal entry. "And it's a guy, wrong thing!!"

"It's been so many years since we've seen a boy!" Hey! Is that even the point?

It was like seeing a rare giant panda at the zoo. A group of girls taking a bath stared at Mu Xiaoxiao with surprise and excitement, which made him feel embarrassed, as if he was the one being taken advantage of.

"Could you... please get dressed before you talk?" Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head.

"How were we supposed to know that boys would come in? Now we've all been seen naked," said a short-haired girl with tanned skin, though she had a big smile on her face.

"Are you shy? Hehe, so cute~".

This was a black-haired girl with pigtails, teasing and joking with Mu Xiaoxiao. Mu Xiaoxiao responded with deadpan expressions.

Once the six girls were dressed in their school uniforms and stood in front of Mu Xiaoxiao, she could finally take a good look at them. The one in the lead was a tall girl with a ponytail, who seemed to be the eldest among the girls.

Another beautiful girl with long, straight black hair looked very gentle and had an older sister vibe. Then there was the girl with twin tails, who was staring at Mu Xiaoxiao with shining eyes, seemingly very interested in him.

Standing next to the girl with twin ponytails was another girl with long, straight black hair. She looked much quieter, but most importantly, she had the biggest fierceness and was incredibly proud.

The last two short-haired girls, one of whom seemed somewhat frail, cautiously glancing at Mu Xiaoxiao, not daring to look at her openly, and the other with a wheat-colored complexion full of energy, clearly a sporty girl.

These girls looked quite similar, and all had black hair. Mu Xiaoxiao had a hunch that they must be Qi Xia's older sisters. As for why Qi Xia had blonde hair, she had mentioned that she was half-sister.

"My name is Ichika, Shichika Ichika," the girl with the ponytail introduced herself. "These are my younger sisters. How did you end up here? No outsiders have been here for a long time."

The eldest of the seven sisters, Ichika Shichika, was a bit more lively. She flashed a sweet smile and suddenly clapped her hands. "I know! You're a transfer student, right? Only transfer students would suddenly appear here. We're going to have another classmate, and he's a boy!"

The girl was very excited.
