Anime Crossover: The Daily Life of a Veterinarian Starting with a Divine Beast

Chapter 378 Reunion with Erii

As the only one who knows the truth, Bayonetta feels utterly powerless.

With Ai Haibara hiding behind the scenes, Vermouth is quite helpless. Due to the contract, she cannot reveal Ai Haibara's existence. If she wants to cause trouble in secret, she must first drag Conan into it... She is also very puzzled as to how Ai Haibara knows that she has a past relationship with Conan and Ran!

After all, even Conan and Ran didn't know about this! Strictly speaking, the only person who should know is himself!

Who else could have told us that? Of course, it was Li Muyang!

Although Ai Haibara cannot leave this world, or even enter Li Muyang's small world, Li Muyang still gave her a jade disc to use for communication.

The jade disc... can be used to watch TV series.

So Ai Haibara has read the script!

This is also why she has no feelings for Elementary School Girls with Death!

"By the way, Brother Muyang, do you know a phantom thief named September Sky?" After complaining about the organization, Xiao Ai asked other questions: "I've dealt with a phantom thief named September Sky a few times before. They seem to have extraordinary combat power as well."

Okay, it seems Ai only knows how to watch her own shows on the Jade Disc, and doesn't know how to watch others.

"Ahem, this should also be found in the jade disc." Li Muyang coughed lightly and said, "Just look for Jiu Yuetian, you'll definitely find it!"

"However, I don't recommend you get involved in these things, because it's very troublesome, and with your current strength, it's extremely dangerous!"

Ai pouted: "I was just asking out of curiosity, it's not like I'd do something stupid for no reason!"

"I'm just a little curious about the items they use to awaken superpowers. Elemental Needles, is that what it's called? I've also formed a small faction, and one of my subordinates awakened his abilities through this. It sounds interesting, but it seems to have side effects, and I can't solve the problem right now, so I wanted to ask you about it."

Li Muyang nodded upon hearing this. "Yes, as expected. Xiao Ai isn't a great detective. She's overly curious and wants to meddle in everything. I can understand her current situation."

As for Ai Haibara building up her own faction... what's so strange about that? It's perfectly normal! In modern society, how can things go smoothly without having a powerful force backing you up?

Even with the Snake Clan and Erii, having your own power base would definitely make things easier! Since Ai has this ability, it's naturally not a problem! There are also people who can handle tasks that are inconvenient for her to do personally.

"Then call the person over when you have time, and I'll take a look then." Li Muyang was somewhat interested in elemental needles and the seventh sense, so he thought he'd take a look.

As for Li Muyang having the Black and White Imperial Star Ring... that's a completely different matter. The eight elements stored inside this thing are not the seventh sense awakened through elemental stones. Not to mention that in the setting of Stealing Stars, there is also an eighth sense, and even theoretically a ninth or tenth sense!

It feels similar to the Saint Seiya setting.

Xiao Ai was very happy to receive a satisfactory answer. After all, her subordinate who ran errands for her was quite sensible and capable, so she was naturally willing to take care of him.

"By the way, what's the name of your subordinate?" Li Muyang suddenly remembered and asked, raising an eyebrow.

Ai calmly replied, "She's not from Japan, but she lives there now. Her Japanese name is... Urashi Seiran."

"Cough cough..." Li Muyang coughed for a while.

Isn't this the movie, The Magician of the End of the Century, featuring the assassin named Scorpion?

Xiao Ai remained calm in the face of Li Muyang's reaction: "Stay calm. She had a curse from her bloodline, which I helped her remove. After that, she took over my work."

Li Muyang's eyes widened: "You know about this?!"

Ai's eyes widened as well: "Why can't I understand this?! It's just a genetic disease, isn't it?!"

The two people, one big and one small, stared at each other for a while, then smiled silently at the same time.

Okay, that makes sense, doesn't it?

The assassin received the message that she wouldn't be able to come anytime soon, so Li Muyang went to find Erii instead.

To surprise her, Li Muyang didn't tell her directly. After confirming that Erii was at home playing games, he opened a portal and went there.

As soon as I got there, I saw a girl wearing cartoon animal pajamas, sitting cross-legged on a gaming chair, her two little feet fidgeting excitedly, while her face remained expressionless. She was wearing headphones and dominating the game... a dried-up girl.

Li Muyang (；￣д￣): ……

Ai Haibara becomes the mastermind behind everything, Conan gains the Shin-chan buff, all evil is banished, and Erii becomes a lazy, comfortable girl.

Great, everyone has a bright future!

Seeing Erii engrossed in her game, Li Muyang considerately refrained from disturbing her. Anyone with experience knows that at this moment, no player wants to be interrupted, no matter the reason!

Anyway, Li Muyang wasn't in a hurry, so he could just wait a little longer!

As the game ended, Erii ripped off her headphones, and a smug smile finally appeared on her previously expressionless face. She looked like a typical chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), covering her face with one hand and making a "superior" gesture with the other, laughing cryptically: "Hehehe... Is this it?"

"Crack!"

Suddenly, a sound came from beside her, and Erii broke out in a cold sweat. She immediately snapped out of her dejected state, unleashed her dragon might, and instantly flew up, leaping to the corner of the wall to distance herself from Li Muyang, who had made the sound. At the same time, she stood ready and prepared to attack.

Then, she realized it was Li Muyang.

Erii breathed a sigh of relief, but then her face flushed red. Wait a minute! Old Li is wrong too! What did he just do?

"You...you took pictures?!" Erii blushed in disbelief, her eyes turning into Rinnegan, and her head instantly felt like it was boiling!

Li Muyang was greatly shocked; it really could produce the effect of boiling water!

He shook his head, looking unsatisfied: "No, not at all."

Erii clearly didn't believe it: "Then the sound just now..."

"Would you believe me if I said it was ventriloquism?" Li Muyang stared at Erii with his sincere, bright eyes.

Erii (￣^￣): "...Do I look stupid to you?"

Li Muyang shrugged helplessly: "It's true. I saw that you had finished your game and didn't even realize I was there, so I thought I'd use a more subtle way to let you know!"

Erii blushed and pounced on Li Muyang, clinging to him and complaining, "The way you call me is by taking a picture?!"

"I already said! It's ventriloquism!" Li Muyang emphasized righteously.

Erii pouted unhappily: "Come on! I don't believe you for a second! You old geezer! You're so mean!"

Li Muyang (???): ...Damn it! Who taught you all this?! Where did the innocent and adorable Erii go?!

Erii chuckled, got off Li Muyang, and then opened her friends page on a messaging app, introducing herself: "Friends I know... Don't worry, I've met them in person! They're all your favorite pretty girls, Muyang!"

Li Muyang's lips twitched: "What do you mean 'my favorite'? Don't slander me! I clearly like your type!"

Just blurt it out!

Erii was taken aback at first, then her face turned red, but then she realized something was wrong. What did she mean by "your type"?

At a time like this! Couldn't you have left out a word? Do you know how much harm that extra word has caused me? It's just the two of us now! Are you worried I'll tell everyone? Thinking of this, Erii's eyes gradually sharpened.

Noticing the girl's increasingly dangerous gaze, Li Muyang was a little annoyed. Why did he have to be so cheeky and add an extra "we"?

Fortunately, Erii only gave a light hum. She had known about Bai Yuxiu and the others for a long time, and knew that Old Li was not alone. Moreover, she had her heart set on Li Muyang, not to mention the other girls who spent most of their time with him.

It's just... jealousy.

During this period, apart from contacting each other through the jade disc, Erii rarely went to the small world to look for Li Muyang. Moreover, Li Muyang was indeed busy during this time, especially this time because of the time-space passage, he was in seclusion and resting. He was not seen in the small world for more than a month. Even if Erii came, she could not see Li Muyang and even had to worry about his condition.

That's why Erii was secretly pleased to see Li Muyang appear before her as if nothing had happened! Therefore, she didn't want to say anything that would spoil the atmosphere; there was no need.

“...Next time! Knock before you come in!” Erii said angrily, glaring at Li Muyang.

Li Muyang chuckled and scratched his head: "But your door wasn't locked in the first place... cough cough! Okay, okay, I understand, I promise I won't do it again next time! I swear!"

This made Erii turn her head with a light laugh. That's more like it!

"...What do you want?" Erii walked into the room next door and soon changed into a casual outfit. Well, it was a pity that it wasn't the very gorgeous kimono she used to wear. It seems that she has changed during this time and is no longer just a doll of the Snake-Headed Eight Family.

She was a real princess, the kind who wielded real power!

Okay, all of this is nonsense and fallacy. Erii doesn't wear that dress simply because it's too troublesome and time-consuming. Without help, it would take her ages to put it on, and most importantly, it's inconvenient for her to move around in.

Li Muyang stroked his chin, pondered for a long time, then looked up and said with a light smile, "It's nothing. I just came here specifically to see you. There's nothing important to say."

Erii was fairly satisfied with the answer and couldn't help but laugh. However, she quickly turned into a tsundere girl, gave a soft snort, and turned her head away.

Li Muyang's lips twitched. These days, Erii isn't as easy to coax (or fool) as she used to be! So tiring!

But this is actually quite good?

Hiss... Li Muyang suddenly felt a chill on the back of his head. What kind of fetish did he have?!
