Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

Page 142

Just as Xia Yan and his group were chatting, the Starlight Passage that was brewing nearby also made a move.

Suddenly, a Xia Yan dressed in gorgeous clothes and with a cool hairstyle was ejected from the passage, and several Xia Yans simultaneously imagined a 'poof' sound.

This is Xia Yan, who looks extraordinary.

Judging from his hairstyle alone, even if he's not a big shot, he must be someone with some ability.

He was dressed in a black haori, over which was a very high-class and tasteful kimono. He also had a long fox fur around his neck, a katana at his waist, and a small pipe in his hand, giving him a carefree and elegant air.

Like a flower in a mirror, or the moon reflected in water, it is dreamlike and illusory, fleeting and uncertain.

A relaxed and contented smile graced his face.

Although he appears to be joking and laughing, he gives off the vibe of a domineering CEO from a romance novel.

"Oh, busy, huh? It's good to be busy."

As soon as the newcomer Xia Yan landed, he calmly greeted the other Xia Yans, and then, as if he had returned to his own place, he walked with a swaggering gait like Jing Ye to the round table and found an empty seat.

Its main selling point is elegance.

"Holy crap, isn't that Nurarihyon no Machiavellian?!"

Seeing that the newcomer Natsuhiko had the same hairstyle as him, Natsuhiko couldn't help but make a sarcastic comment first.

Ajin Natsuhiko: "How do you know? When you first came, we thought you were some kind of sly fox."

Demon Slayer Natsuhiko: "Look at his aura, look at his aura! This kid looks like he's good at getting things for free, he's definitely a slippery demon!"

Gintama Natsuhiko: "I don't think so. Maybe he's a cosplayer."

JOJO Natsuhiko: "Yes, it looks just like it!"

Hentai Natsuhiko: "I bet five cents he's a slippery devil!"

Akame ga Kill! Natsuhiko: "Then I'll go with him, he's not!"

Pirate Natsuhiko: "You guys have nothing better to do than play this prize-winning guessing game? I'm in with you, it's Nurarihyon."

Ghost Eye Xia Yan: "I'll press down on him, he's not!"

Seeing the group of Xia Yans arguing noisily, the newcomer Xia Yan already understood what had happened and lazily yawned.

He exhaled a smoke ring and casually swiped the matcha that the rogue Xia Yan, who was standing to the side with a serene expression, had just made.

The rogue Natsuhiko simply smiled gently, poured himself another drink, and looked like an old father.

Demon Slayer Natsuhiko: "Place your bets now, open the betting window!"

Upon hearing this, all the eyes of Xia Yan's followers who had placed bets immediately turned to the newcomer, Xia Yan.

"Good tea~" Shin Natsuhiko took a sip of tea slowly.

Demon Slayer Natsuhiko: "I really want to beat him up..."

Yaren Xia Yan: "Second the proposal!"

Naruto Natsuhiko: "Second!"

Gintama Natsuhiko: "I second that!"

"No, no, no, I'll tell you!"

Seeing that before he could finish speaking, Xia Yan and his group had already surrounded him like a gang of thugs, seemingly ready to kick him out at any moment, the newcomer Xia Yan was very sensible and decisively backed down on the spot.

After all, a wise man doesn't suffer a loss he can avoid.

"If we're classifying by type, I am indeed a Nurarihyon, but whether the world I live in is 'Nurarihyon no Mago' is uncertain..."

After receiving an affirmative answer, no one listened to the rest of Natsuhiko's (the newcomer) words.

After all, there's something more important right now...

Demon Slayer Natsuhiko: "I told you he was! Give me the money, give me the money!"

Ghost Eye Natsuhiko: "You're lucky, kid!"

Akame ga Kill! Natsuhiko: "Tch, look at your attitude, you'll never get to eat four dishes and a soup in your life."

"Hey, didn't you guys forget something?" Looking at Xia Yan and his friends who were arguing again, the newcomer, Natsuki, pointed to the still-shrinking passage beside them. "Is that thing that looks like an otherworldly chrysanthemum supposed to exist normally?"

Pirate Xia Yan: "Right! There were clearly two passages just now, so why did only one person come out!?"

Gintama Natsuhiko: "Could this passage also be troubled by constipation!?"

Akame ga Kill! Natsuhiko: "That word 'also' is quite intriguing."

Gintama Natsuhiko: "It's normal to have constipation, after all, I'm different from you guys with a fantasy style. I was just an ordinary person before."

Ainz Ooal Gown Xia Yan: "That's right! You monsters and demons can't possibly understand the pain of constipation like we ordinary people do!"

Hokage Natsuhiko: "Seriously, do you guys have to use constipation to describe it?! Aren't we all born from here?! Even saying 'difficult childbirth' would sound better than constipation."

Demon Slayer Natsuhiko: "Holy crap! Those Byakugan! You're Hokage Natsuhiko!? When did you grow up so much?!"

Naruto Natsuhiko: "???"

"I was already this big last time I came here, and you're only just realizing it?!"

No one listened to him anymore, and the other Xia Yans who had noticed something was wrong gathered together and whispered among themselves.

JOJO Natsuhiko: "Really? You've grown up so fast. I remember when we first met, you were just a four or five-year-old kid..."

Pirate Natsuhiko: "Time seems to be particularly harsh on him. I hope he won't be an old man when we meet again!"

Akame ga Kill! Natsuhiko: "That seems to be true. I remember the first time I met him, he was only seven years old, the second time he was over ten, and now he's a complete adult..."

Ainz Ooal Gown Natsuhiko: "I shouldn't age too quickly, after all, I still have Ripple to keep me going."

Seeing the other Natsuhikos whispering loudly in front of him as if no one else was there, a cross appeared on Hokage Natsuhiko's forehead.

"Damn it, you bunch of bastards, are you all sick in the head?!"

Chapter 222 Rebirth: I Am a World-Famous Painting

Just as Xia Yan and the others were making a ruckus again, the previously sluggish and contracting passage finally stirred.

At this moment, the background music was played at its maximum, and it even showed signs of being out of tune.

At the same time, a figure was ejected with a 'poof', and then the passage disappeared as if it had completed its mission.

The figure that was ejected slammed heavily onto the ground, just like a piece of mud thrown on the ground by a child.

This is not an exaggeration, but rather a realistic depiction.

Because when that figure fell to the ground, it was like a lump of amorphous matter, stuck to the ground in a strange shape.

However, although it had been smashed flat, it seemed to have no effect on him at all.

They huddled together, trembling, and then returned to human form.

Then, surrounded by a group of Xia Yans, he slowly stood up.

——！！？

Demon Slayer Natsuhiko: "Holy crap! A shout?!"

Gintama Natsuhiko: "What the hell!? Reborn as a world-famous painting, huh!?"

Akame ga Kill! Natsuhiko: "What the hell is this thing?!"

Xia Yan, a demi-human: "Aren't all of us handsome and dashing? Could the system have made a mistake?"

Pirate Xia Yan: "Could it be that the system has finally malfunctioned after working for so long?! No way, I'm still in the lab and haven't escaped yet!"

Everyone was startled when they saw the newcomer, Xia Yan, including the slippery ghost Xia Yan who had just joined the group.

Although it was in human form, its overall shape was abnormally distorted, much like the twisted door frame behind female benefactors who were giving alms while engaging in prostitution.

His expression seemed to be one of great pain, his eyes filled with fear, his hands covering his head, and his mouth wide open.

He had almost no hair on his head, and looked like E.T. baby.

While the other Natsuhikos are all Japanese manga artists from different eras and with different styles, his work clearly embodies a postmodern abstract expressionist style.

If you were to draw his likeness exactly as he is, and then add some fabricated background information, you could become a master of abstract painting.

After getting up, the "shouting man" didn't move at all. He just stood there blankly, repeatedly muttering "Can you see me?" "Can you see me?" as if he had no self-awareness.

"This thing is probably an idiot..."

Looking at the newcomer Xia Yan, Demon Slayer Xia Yan's lips twitched slightly as he made a sarcastic remark.

Gintama Natsuhiko: "It looks kind of disgusting..."

Akame ga Kill! Natsuhiko: "To be fair, it's true."

Harry Potter Xia Yan: "It looks like something like a ghost."

Hentai Natsuhiko: "I'm starting to get a little curious about what this thing has been through."

At this point, all of Xia Yan exchanged glances, noticing a hint of curiosity in each other's eyes.

Sharing begins!

That familiar sense of comfort once again swept through the hearts of all Xia Yans, as if they were soaking in a warm and comfortable hot water after returning home from the wind, snow and cold.

Even the pained and distorted expression on Xia Yan's face, who had just arrived, gradually disappeared, turning into tranquility.

At the same time, his body was no longer the distorted line drawing it had been before, but had returned to a handsome face that was almost indistinguishable from the other Xia Yans.

That cunning and roguish Xia Yan, who seems to embody all the qualities of a male protagonist in a female-oriented romance novel, comes from a...

A monster world whose background is uncertain.

From the perspective of the historical context, it should be Heian-kyo, which belonged to the island nation. Natsuhiko also took advantage of the convenience of being a yokai to cross the sea and return to his homeland for a look.

I originally planned to settle there and experience the history.

It turned out that the area was in one of the most chaotic periods in its history.

Because things were so chaotic, the humans were more frightening than the monsters, and they ate people more enthusiastically than the monsters. They didn't even bring rations to war, just used whatever they could find on the spot. They didn't even bother to dispose of the corpses, and they didn't have to worry about plagues.

The monsters were incredibly strong, and each one of them was extremely unfriendly.

Realizing he couldn't make a living there, Natsuhiko, the cunning devil, slunk back to Japan.
