Crossover Anime: Starting as a King and Ascending to Godhood

"Let's go."

Watching Lin Bai and Yumihara Saki walk out of the park, Kuriyama Mirai wiped her glasses with a glasses cleaning cloth again.

After putting on the glasses, his eyes flickered, and hesitation appeared in them.

Lin Bai turned to look at her: "Aren't you going to hurry up and catch up? Do you want me to drag you around like I'm catching a cat?"

"Catch the cat..."

Kuriyama Mirai was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

An image of a cat being grabbed by the scruff of its neck flashed into my mind, and then I replaced the cat with myself.

Although I haven't known Lin Bai for very long, based on what I know of him so far, he seems to be a man of his word.

She didn't want to be grabbed like that.

Don't do this kind of thing.

"I'm not happy..."

After muttering a quiet complaint, Kuriyama Mirai quickly followed.

Using his spiritual senses, Lin Bai quickly led Yumihara Saki and Kuriyama Mirai to a nearby restaurant.

They booked a private room directly.

Then we ordered a whole table of dishes.

After Lin Bai and Yumihara Saki ordered their food, they handed the menu to Kuriyama Mirai.

"Order what you want to eat."

Kuriyama Mirai took the menu.

When she saw the prices of the dishes, her large eyes behind her glasses trembled and widened slightly.

I saw the dishes I had already ordered.

Wow, how much does this cost?!

This gave Kuriyama Mirai a slight shock regarding Lin Bai's wealth.

She put down the menu: "What you ordered already includes what I wanted to eat."

"Okay then..."

Seeing this, Lin Bai smiled and nodded. After the staff left, he looked at Kuriyama Mirai and smiled, saying:

"I see you've been holding it in for so long, just ask if you want to."

"Lin Bai, how do you know my identity and background?"

Without further hesitation, Mirai Kuriyama asked the question she most wanted to ask.

He pushed up his glasses with his right index finger.

Her big eyes stared straight at Lin Bai.

A sly glint flashed in Lin Bai's eyes, and he said with a slight smile, "Because I can read minds and see through your heart."

"Why!!!"

Kuriyama Mirai was shocked.

Lin Bai: "I was just kidding."

"Huh?" Kuriyama was taken aback for a moment, then her little face puffed out slightly:

"I'm not happy!"

She had already believed it.

It turns out I was just teasing myself.

Lin Bai smiled and said, "How I know your identity and background is not important."

Mirai Kuriyama: "???"

Lin Bai continued, "If you're really curious, just consider it as something I learned through my abilities."

"Known through ability!?"

Kuriyama Mirai's mouth opened slightly, and a ripple of surprise flickered in her eyes.

Does this ability still exist?

Could it really be mind reading?

Lin Bai: "There's a saying that goes, 'A big forest has all kinds of birds.' The world is so big, of course anything is possible."

"It seems to be the same..."

After hearing this, Kuriyama Mirai thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Lin Bai smiled slightly: "You've already asked me a question, now it's my turn to ask you one."

"Hey... okay."

Kuriyama Mirai blinked.

Lin Bai blinked and smiled, saying, "I want to know the contents of the letter you read earlier, Kuriyama."

"letter……"

Kuriyama Mirai frowned slightly.

Clearly, they hadn't expected Lin Bai to want to know the contents of that letter.

A look of hesitation involuntarily appeared in his eyes.

Yumihara Saki, standing next to her, recalled the change in Kuriyama Mirai's expression when she read the letter earlier, and a hint of curiosity appeared in her eyes.

That letter was clearly not simple.

She is not someone who likes to pry into other people's privacy.

But since Lin Bai asked, she wouldn't mind knowing the contents of the letter if Kuriyama Mirai was willing to tell her.

"Not available?"

Seeing the hesitant Kuriyama Mirai, Lin Bai smiled and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, that letter is related to the Nase family."

"how do you know!?"

Kuriyama Mirai's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

She looked at Lin Bai with some surprise.

It really is……

Seeing Kuriyama Mirai's reaction, Lin Bai's eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "Just as I expected."

He was just guessing randomly.

Surprisingly, I guessed right.

Lin Bai said thoughtfully, "If I'm not mistaken, they want you to go and defeat Youmu."

"..."

Kuriyama Mirai remained silent.

Lin Bai was clearly right again.

So she took out the letter she had previously put away: "This letter was sent to me by the head of the Nase family."

"They said there's a troublesome youmu that requires my abilities to defeat, so they gave me a request."

She handed the letter to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai opened the letter and quickly glanced at it.

The letter contained very little information, just as Kuriyama Mirai had said.

The details of what kind of youmu to be hunted and what the reward would be were not specified; they were only told that they would discuss it upon meeting.

One last note:

"For example, resolving the issue with the Ibo family."

Lin Bai put down the letter, looked at Kuriyama Mirai, and smiled slightly: "So, Kuriyama, what are your thoughts on the letter?"

After a moment of silence, Kuriyama Mirai said, "I'm still considering it, but I'm thinking of accepting the commission."

It's mainly because of that note.

"That's it..."

Lin Bai smiled and said, "Do you want to know in advance what kind of youkai they want you to defeat?"

"What is it?"

Kuriyama Mirai looked at Lin Bai with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Lin Bai: "If nothing unexpected happens, the youmu they want you to defeat is Beyond the Boundary."

"Beyond the realm?"

Kuriyama Mirai blinked, a look of confusion appearing on her face.

She had never heard of it before.

Upon hearing the strange name "Beyond the Boundary," Yumbara Saki, who was standing nearby, also showed a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

She had already learned the difference between a yokai and a youmu from Lin Bai.

Sensing their confusion and curiosity, Lin Bai began to explain.

Chapter 227 Wait, you're not wearing a helmet yet!

Lin Bai smiled slightly and began to explain:

"You probably already know that youmu are things born from negative human emotions."

"Beyond the Boundary is called the strongest Youmu by the Otherworlders Association, but the association is unsure of its veracity."
