Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

Page 143

At least here he can still freeload off others by relying on his Nurarihyon talent and decent local skills.

After a period of exploration, based on his research into the local forces, he guessed that he had probably transmigrated into a world where various anime and manga works with different monster worldviews were mixed together.

The main focus seems to be on the game "Onmyoji" and the anime "Inuyasha", with some traces of "Nurarihyon no Mago".

As for other information, it is not easy to investigate due to the era in which it was created.

However, Natsuhiko Natsumi didn't care much about this. He adopted a "what's done is done" attitude and lived quite happily.

As for the other "Scream" Xia Yan, he has traveled to a supernatural anime series related to ghosts, but what exactly that world is is currently unknown.

Furthermore, calling him "Shout" Xia Yan is not quite accurate; it would be more accurate to call him "Ghost" Xia Yan.

That's right, Xia Yan is dead...

And it's not like the demi-human Natsuhiko, who can be resurrected after death.

The ghost Xia Yan died quite completely.

If it weren't for the fact that his world is a supernatural world where people stay as souls for a period of time after death, he probably wouldn't even have had the chance to come here.

Before his death, the world that the ghost Xia Yan traveled through was almost identical to the normal world.

Time also belongs to the modern era.

This led him to believe that he had simply traveled to a parallel world.

Moreover, their early life was quite happy; they came from a well-off family with both parents alive and well.

It allowed Xia Yan, who came from an orphanage, to experience what it's like to be in a normal family.

Thanks to his adult self-control and his knowledge far exceeding that of children, he also got to experience being a child prodigy and was admitted to the highest university in the country through the college entrance examination.

To celebrate his high school graduation, after holding a banquet during the summer vacation, the family used the money from the banquet to plan a trip abroad.

When they arrived in Japan, an accident happened; the car overturned.

This tour group of more than twenty people was all wiped out in one go; not a single one survived.

That's why the ghost Xia Yan had such a freakish expression when he arrived.

After that, the ghost Xia Yan continued to wander in this form until he just joined a group of ghosts in line, waiting for their souls to go to their proper places.

Chapter 223 The so-called specialty of the slippery devil is getting things for free.

"So neither of the two versions of myself that came this time are human..."

After processing the experiences of the two new Natsuhikos, Natsuhiko couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

"Now that the Experimental Subject Alliance has been formed, there's another non-human group."

"Another strange combination has emerged."

"Speaking of which, you're being included in both."

Demon Slayer Natsuhiko looked at the pirate Natsuhiko who had a pair of large wings and was floating in mid-air with them flapping.

"Then the question is—"

"Whose subset are you, and by whom are you included?"

Pirate Xia Yan: "I'm your grandpa."

Simple bad breath, ultimate enjoyment.

Demon Slayer Natsuhiko: "Look at you, why are you swearing? What kind of manners are you?"

Pirate Natsuhiko: "Aren't you also trying to develop into someone who's inhuman? Whose subset will you be then!?"

Demon Slayer Natsuhiko: "..."

"That Nurarihyon over there, his abilities are way too weak, aren't they? Isn't he supposed to be the lord of all demons and monsters, the supreme commander of all yokai?!"

Although it was meant to change the subject, what Natsuhiko said about Demon Slayer was indeed the doubt that the other Natsuhikos had in their hearts.

After all, in most works, Nurarihyon appears in a high-class form.

This led Xia Yan and his friends to have extremely high expectations for the demon Xia Yan before the 913 shared abilities.

After sharing the results, I realized that it wasn't all that great.

It's not that Nurarihyon's abilities are weak; in fact, Natsuhiko Nurarihyon is already considered a strong person in his world. Although he may not be among the strongest, he is definitely in the top tier.

Furthermore, they have not yet formed their own Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons).

Once the team is fully assembled, his strength will be further enhanced as the number of monsters under his command increases.

However, these are external bonuses that Xia Yan cannot share.

Natsuhiko Nurarihyon only possesses two abilities.

One is "a mirage" and the other is "a clear mirror and still water".

The first one, "Mirror Flower Water Moon," sounds incredibly impressive, and its actual effect is indeed top-notch. It reveals the true nature of the Sly Demon, making him seem like a flower in a mirror or the moon in water—unattainable and impossible to distinguish between reality and illusion.

While it may not be as impressive as a certain hairspray user's "mirror image," the ability to completely control a person's five senses is still a very practical skill.

but,

But here's the problem!

However, this move reveals the true form of the Nurarihyon! In other words, it's a purely racially unique ability!

Just as the Lunaria can fly because they have wings, this ability cannot be shared.

Secondly, "clear mirror and still water" lets the enemy know that he is in front of them but cannot see him.

It's somewhat similar to the psychological concept of invisibility.

It also has a certain psychological suggestion effect, which is the basis for Nurarihyon's ability to eat and drink for free. As long as the yokai Natsuhiko uses this skill to go to someone's house, not only will he eat and drink for free, but he will even make people think that he is the master of the house.

This ability can be shared, and while it doesn't mean there's no improvement for other Xia Yans, it's not particularly useful.

After all, Harry Potter and Xia Yan had already shared abilities such as invisibility and hypnosis.

This "clear mirror and still water" isn't even a decent alternative.

The remaining ability, the so-called "Secret Technique: Clear Mirror Still Water: Cherry Blossom", has only so-so flame power, which is not comparable to the Fiendish Curse at all.

Because the nature of Nurarihyon is dreamlike and illusory, neither real nor false, it has some advantages over illusion magic.

But that was it.

You might say he's weak, but he's actually quite strong.

However, you could say he's strong.

This monster Xia Yan came to the [Xia Yan Mutual Aid Space] and took all the good stuff, leaving nothing useful for himself!

He can be said to have truly mastered the skills of Nurarihyon.

—It basically boils down to getting something for free!

When Demon Slayer Natsuhiko tried to change the subject by criticizing him for doing it himself, Natsuhiko, though amazed by the other's shamelessness, simply shrugged indifferently.

Yokai Natsuhiko: "Well, what can I do? The defining characteristic of 'Nurarihyon' is getting things for free~"

Gintama Natsuhiko: "How dare you say that..."

Monster Xia Yan: "Racial talent, something you can only envy~"

Demi-human Natsuhiko: "Who would envy your talent!"

After criticizing the monster Xia Yan's freeloading behavior, all of Xia Yan's eyes turned to the ghost Xia Yan who had just returned to human form.

Feeling more than a dozen gazes that seemed almost tangible, the ghost Xia Yan instantly felt immense pressure.

After all, it seems that only I am unable to play any role so far.

They can't even provide the material support that characters like Ainz Ooal Gown and Gintama Natsuhiko do.

Because in the world where the ghost Xia Yan lives, ordinary people can't see ghosts at all...

Moreover, most of the other ghosts were just like him before, living in a daze with little self-awareness, and he was incapable of ruling the dark world to create wealth or anything like that.

Akame ga Kill! Natsuhiko: "So, the only benefit this unknown self from the unknown world brings is that we can now see ghosts?"

Ajin Natsuhiko: "Not necessarily, after all, not every world has the concept of a soul."

Ghost Xia Yan: "Um... Red Bean Mud Mimasai!!!"

Knowing he was a good-for-nothing, he apologized before the other Xia Yans could even speak.

Considering that most of Xia Yan lives in the world of Japanese anime, his method of apologizing is exactly the same as that of previous prime ministers of the island nation.

The 90-degree bow was perfectly executed, with no flaws whatsoever.

Gintama Natsuhiko: "You don't need to apologize to us..."

Demon Slayer Natsuhiko: "After all, I never had any expectations of you from the beginning, so there's no question of disappointment."

Ghost Xia Yan: "Thank you, but I feel offended!"

JOJO Natsuhiko: "But you're really unlucky. If you had come a few days earlier, you wouldn't have died at all. Even with the immortality of a demi-human, there's no way to bring you back to life..."

Ghost Xia Yan: "Who says otherwise! I almost became a winner in life..."

His melancholic tone made the other Xia Yans involuntarily think of their own misfortunes.

The space, which was a bit noisy just a moment ago, is now much quieter.

Having no history of sadness, Natsuhiko from the hentai anime, Natsuhiko from JOJO, and Natsuhiko from Kigan exchanged puzzled glances and shrugged indifferently.

"Alright, if you want to cry, just go back to your own world and hide under the covers. Let's get down to business!"

"I now declare the fourth Xia Yan Mutual Aid Association officially open!"

Chapter 224 Eroticism is always a powerful driving force for technology

Seeing that the topic had been brought back on track, Xia Yan and the others also became serious.

Ajin Natsuhiko: "In terms of gains, the one who has gained the most should be Naruto Natsuhiko. As expected of one of the three major shonen manga, his potential is really high!"

Pirate Natsuhiko: "Indeed, Hokage Natsuhiko has the potential to become an emperor!"
