Anime Crossover: The people the Saniwa knows are all over Japan

After Natsume sincerely thanked Asuka, a shadow-like yokai moved in front of them.

The bird recognized it at a glance; it was the monster it had encountered at the inn the day before.

In fact, as long as she was in the hotel, she could feel that there was a pair of eyes watching her from the shadows.

But since it meant no harm, I let it look at me.

You couldn't hold back after just one day?

After the monster moved in front of them, it transformed from a piece of paper into a three-dimensional jelly.

It was just a black jelly, which didn't look appetizing at all.

Black Jelly stretched out a pair of small hands from both sides of her body and respectfully handed over an envelope.

The bird wasn't afraid of its tricks; she had a keen sense of danger and was very confident in her own abilities.

If she were a monster, she would definitely be considered a monster ancestor after living for so many years.

Fortunately, she wasn't a demon; powerful demons don't have much of a chance in modern times.

The bird took the envelope, opened it, and found a note inside.

The note had a string of crooked handwriting that looked like it was written by a child who had just learned to write.

[Digging out the time capsule, finding Hongyi, saying goodbye, thank you, sir!]

The exclamation mark was written with great force, as if it contained the writer's boundless gratitude.

Asuka never expected that this monster would seek her out for such a trivial matter.

But since I've already asked her...

"Little devil, what does it say?" Nyanko-sensei asked curiously.

"Its wishes are written on it."

"You even grant people's wishes for free?"

The bird snorted, "No, it's just a matter of chance."

If it misses her, it doesn't know how much longer it will be trapped in a hopeless wait.

It spends its days nestled on the hotel corridor floor, waiting for someone destined to see it.

“Monobe-san, is there anything we can help you with?” Natsume asked.

"Ok?"

After being treated like this by a monster, would you still choose to help it?

Won't you grow to hate troubles and be afraid of them?

Asuka had never encountered anything like this before, and she didn't know if she would still choose to ask sincerely if she were hurt.

“I need to find this.” She handed the note to Natsume.

"But what is a time capsule?"

Asuka asked curiously, "Is it some kind of god-level artifact that can travel through time?"

Natsume: "..."

Did Mononobe-san not have a childhood...?

Although he was a loner when he was young, he never buried a time capsule with his friends.

“No, Mononobe-san.” Natsume struggled with how to explain.

"Usually, it's a group of friends who collect things that are full of memories, hide them in a box, bury the box in the ground, and then agree to dig it up together at some future time."

He added, "But it's okay if only one person is buried."

Asuka punched her left palm with her right fist and suddenly realized, "So it's a prop for memories."

She said enthusiastically, "I've never buried one before, I'll try it next time."

"But now we must fulfill its wish first."

The cat teacher asked in a loud voice, "Little monster, where is the thing you're looking for hidden?"

Black Jelly stretched out her little hand and pointed to the ground beneath their feet.

Time returns to the present.

The persistent bird finally managed to poke something hard with the broken plastic bottle.

"Kitty! Dig!" Asuka commanded, pointing to the spot.

Because her tone was so matter-of-fact, the cat teacher really thought she was a dog, so she pounced on the patch of soil that her fingertip was pointing to and dug frantically.

Natsume: "..."

Only after the wooden box was dug out did Nyanko-sensei realize that he was a high-level yokai who was infinitely close to the realm of gods.

At worst, it's still an adorable lucky cat (Asuka: Just a fat cat)!

It's definitely not Asuka's dog!

"Is this it?" Asuka picked up the wooden box and asked the black jelly.

The black jelly nodded vigorously, its whole body bouncy and chewy.

"Next, we need to find Hiroki." Asuka stroked her chin with her clean hand. "Could it be the owner of the inn?"

"hostel?"

"Yes, I first saw it in the hotel where I was staying."
