Crossover Anime: I'm at Shuchiin Academy, and my surname is Uchiha.

Chapter 75 Aki Tomoya is an absolute jinx.

In the living room outside Kaguya's room, Uchiha Ryo was observing Hayasaka Ai's tea-making process.

"You're quite skilled. By the way, what kind of tea did you brew?"

Hayasaka Ai took out two bags of dried flowers from a box next to her. "This is flower tea that was sent by the second brother of Kaguya-sama from the main family. Blue flowers have the effect of calming the mind and focusing the spirit, while pink flowers have the effect of warming the heart and strengthening the body."

Uchiha Ryo nodded. "Then give me a cup of blue flower tea."

Hayasaka Ai brewed a pot of blue floral tea, while Uchiha Ryo looked at another empty teapot.

"Actually, I can brew tea too. Why don't you try my cooking?"

Hayasaka Ai chuckled, "You can do it too? But I'll do it, since I've been trained in these things since I was little."

Uchiha Ryo stood up and took the teapot. "Although I just learned it, it should be fine."

Uchiha Ryo brewed a pot of tea for Hayasaka Ai, adding a generous amount of pink flowers. His skillful technique startled Hayasaka Ai... and the technique seemed vaguely familiar.

Hayasaka Ai realized that this wasn't her method of brewing tea!

"You...learned it after watching it once? Wait! You've added too much!"

Uchiha Ryo put down the teapot. "Hmm, you can try the tea I brewed later."

However, the two of them first drank Hayasaka's pot of tea... After two cups of hot tea, Uchiha Ryo was just about to have a good discussion with Hayasaka about what happened last night when the phone rang.

What the heck? Who dared to interrupt my fun like that! Ah, Natsume, never mind then.

"Brother Ling, are you free right now? I'm in a bit of trouble, especially since Teacher Cat is drunk."

Uchiha Ryo's expression gradually turned serious. "Okay, I understand. I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Uchiha Ryo suddenly appeared in front of Hayasaka Ai.

Hayasaka Ai suddenly remembered the tent in the bathhouse. There was no one there now. What if he was really unhappy that she had locked him in the room?

Hayasaka Ai closed her eyes, but what she imagined didn't happen. Instead, two extra fingers appeared on her forehead.

"Don't treat me like a bastard who only thinks with his lower body. I have to go now. As for the day of maid service you owe me, we'll do it next time."

Gently tapping Hayasaka Ai's forehead, Uchiha Ryo finished the last sip of hot tea and walked out of the living room.

Hayasaka Ai: "...This guy."

Not long after Uchiha Rin left the Shinomiya family, the three women in Kaguya's room woke up one after another.

Kaguya Shinomiya's mind reeled. What had she done last night? Invited Uchiha Ryo to stay?! Was that really something she would say...? She really shouldn't stay up so late!

When the three realized that Uchiha Rin was not in the room, they all went outside.

In the living room, the butler, Wanban, bowed slightly. "Miss, Young Master Ling said he had some business to attend to and had left early. However, before he left, he brewed a pot of tea for you, hoping you would enjoy it."

.....

Meanwhile, Uchiha Ryo had arrived at the foot of the mountain that Natsume had mentioned. At that moment, Natsume was holding the somewhat drunk Nyanko-sensei.

"Let's talk about it as we go. I'll help Nyanko-sensei sober up once we're in the forest."

Natsume nodded and then recounted what had happened to him that day.

It turns out that the kind and gentle Natsume agreed to the request from his classmate, Aki Tomoya, and became the proposed male lead in his game.

Today, Aki Tomoya planned to invite three members of the game development team to a dinner party on the mountain, but then... everyone except Natsume disappeared.

Uchiha Ryo pondered for a moment, then said, "I understand."

Natsume also looked towards the mountain. "Hmm, there are definitely yokai on this mountain, otherwise they couldn't have made all three of them disappear right under my nose!"

Uchiha shook his head. "What I mean is, Aki Tomoya is an absolute jinx. If you stay away from him, you won't get involved in this kind of thing."

Natsume scratched his head awkwardly. "But even if I hadn't come, he would probably have brought two other girls with him, right? If I hadn't come out to warn you, they would probably be in big trouble."

Following the mountain path, Natsume, carrying Nyanko-sensei, quickly arrived near a mountain god temple.

Uchiha Ryo: "Is this where they disappeared?"

"Yes, An Yi said he used to come to this mountain god temple often when he was a child. It's quiet and cool here, and there's a fairly large lake nearby, which is perfect for a picnic."

Very well, Uchiha Ryo has reason to suspect that this kid offended the mountain god and was punished.

"Natsume, put Nyanko-sensei on the ground first. I'll help him sober up, and then ask him what happened. I don't know much about yokai or mountain spirits."

Natsume obediently placed Nyanko-sensei on the ground.

"Water Release: Water Chaos Wave! Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

After a series of "Happy Bathing Combos" by Yanyunjiang, Nyanko-sensei felt as if he had just been rinsed with cold water, and then was dried by a gust of wind.

Nyanko-sensei: "???"

The alcohol had completely worn off, but Nyanko-sensei was still in shock, not realizing what had just happened!

"Hmm... Natsume, where am I?!"

Natsume recounted the events that had just occurred to Nyanko-sensei, then pointed to the mountain god temple and said...

"Just half an hour ago, I was going to the lake to get some water, and when I came back, they were all gone, and I couldn't get through to them on the phone."

As he spoke, Natsume looked at the lake not far away, then his pupils narrowed, and he picked up Nyanko-sensei and ran over quickly.

Uchiha Ryo followed immediately, but what they saw... was a wooden boat floating on the water.

There were no oars on the boat; the small wooden boat was simply drifting with the current.

Natsume: "There are people on the ship!"

The two people and the cat stared intently. Right in the middle of the lake, on a wooden boat, a woman in a white dress, whose face was obscured, was gazing at the water. Then... she submerged her entire face in the water.

The lake water rippled slightly, and the woman kept her face submerged, showing no sign of emerging.

Natsume: "What is she doing?"

Uchiha Ryo: "Whatever, I'll save anyone who's human, and attack anyone who's a demon."

Cat Teacher: "You two idiots, stop staring at her!"

Natsume obediently closed his eyes, while Uchiha Ryo continued to watch the woman indifferently. At first, only her head was submerged in the water, but gradually... the woman's entire body slid off the wooden boat.

The icy lake water had somehow enveloped his entire body. Uchiha Ryo looked up and realized that he had actually sunk to the bottom of the dark lake.

And the woman was on a small boat on the lake... staring at him expressionlessly.

"Oh? Illusion, huh! Trying to play illusions on me, huh!"

The three-tomoe Sharingan opens, "Magic Illusion: Mirror World Turns! Let me show you what your own genjutsu tastes like."

In essence, a demon's illusion technique affects a person's mental power, causing them to see a picture they have created. But Uchiha Ryo's illusion technique is different; it uses chakra as its energy source to directly interfere with the opponent's five senses, stripping them of their original consciousness.

The next moment, Uchiha Ryo's consciousness returned to his body by the lake, while the wooden boat on the lake capsized... and the woman on it disappeared completely.

Cat Teacher: "Huh?? What did you do, you brat?!"

Uchiha Ryo: "Well, didn't she want to go down? She probably really did sink to the bottom of the lake."
