Anime Crossover: My Youth Begins with Charlotte

When Shirogane Miyuki saw the two of them, he frowned slightly, but his expression remained calm. He knew he had to keep Natsuhiko's entry into the organization a secret, so he couldn't let Chika and Ram find out anything amiss.

Chika and Ram exchanged a glance, then cut to the chase, asking Shirogane Miyuki:

"You used to always be with Xia Yan, right? But I haven't seen you two together these past few days. Besides, you can't just abandon Xia Yan now that you have Kaguya, can you? Tell me quickly, where did Xia Yan go~?"

"Yeah, hurry up and tell us where Xia Yan went? He's not doing something else behind our backs, is he?"

After saying this, Chika and Ram looked at Shirogane Miyuki with serious expressions. Shirogane Miyuki's brows furrowed slightly, but a smile slowly spread across his lips. Then he said to the two people in front of him:

"Oh dear, what are you two saying? What do I have to hide? Besides, don't you know where Xia Yan went? You don't know, but I don't know either. However, he told me a couple of days ago that he seems to be going to see a friend, and it seems that he has found some new clues."

After saying this, Shirogane Miyuki subconsciously glanced at Kaguya beside him, a knowing look flashing in her eyes. She quickly nodded to Chika and Ram, then continued:

"Yes, let me tell you, Shirogane Miyuki wasn't lying about this. Before this, I also heard Natsuhiko say that he seemed to have found some new clues, so he rushed over there and specifically instructed Shirogane Miyuki to make sure he waited here."

After saying these words, a look of determination flashed in the eyes of both of them, but a look of doubt flashed in the eyes of Chika and Ram, who were standing to the side, because in their opinion, Xia Yan would definitely not act alone like this.

Realizing this, they simply stared at Shirogane Miyuki before them. Shirogane Miyuki, already on guard, remained perfectly calm, showing no sign of lying. However, Chika still asked him:

"Since he said he was going to search for new clues, why didn't you go with him? That's not like you. Besides, don't you know how dangerous things are right now? And since he said he was going to investigate new clues, you know he won't be back for a few more days, right?"

Chapter 424 Looking for help

Upon hearing this, Shirogane Miyuki sighed softly, then looked at Chika and Ram with a feigned helpless expression before saying to them:

"I'm telling you two, the questions you're asking are way too tricky. How am I supposed to know? Besides, don't you know perfectly well that Xia Yan is the kind of person who can't wait to rush over as soon as he hears about a new clue? But I think he'll be back in two or three days."

After saying this, Shirogane Miyuki glanced at Chika Ram's expression, then addressed them again:

"However, you should all know very well that we can't make the decision on this matter. Besides, there are so many spies in the relevant units. And some people in the organization know me and Xia Yan. So I haven't gone out these past few days and have been staying at home with Kaguya. Therefore, Xia Yan's disappearance for these few days is a good choice for us."

After saying these words, Shirogane Miyuki's expression became serious. Chika Ram, who was standing to the side, frowned more and more deeply after hearing these words, but they temporarily dispelled their doubts.

After exchanging a few words with Kaguya, they returned. Watching their figures slowly disappear from his sight, Shirogane Miyuki, who was standing to the side, finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Not only that, he was still shaken. He was really afraid that if Chika and Ram had continued to press him, he probably wouldn't be able to keep it a secret any longer. Kaguya, who was standing to the side, glanced at Shirogane Miyuki and naturally understood his thoughts. A hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes.

However, even though Kaguya and Miyuki Shirogane have kept this matter a secret, Miyuki Shirogane is still afraid that Chika and the others will suspect it. Realizing this, Miyuki Shirogane pondered for a moment, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

As for Shirogane Miyuki, he figured that as long as Chika and Ram had things to do, they wouldn't suspect them. Realizing this, he glanced at Kaguya beside him and then said to her:

"Let me tell you, I have a great idea right now. I'll go find Master Long's daughter. Anyway, he's with us now, and he's been in a lot of trouble with Qianhua and Ram these past few days. If we ask him for help, Qianhua and Ram definitely won't be so focused on Xia Yan."

Kaguya's helplessness deepened, and she frowned slightly. In fact, she had doubts about Shirogane Miyuki's actions, because in her opinion, Chika and Ram were really worried about Natsuhiko.

However, when he saw Shirogane Miyuki's confident expression, he did not refuse, and Shirogane Miyuki went directly to the Dragon Lord's daughter.

A hint of confusion flashed in the girl's eyes when she saw Shirogane Miyuki, because she hadn't seen him for quite some time since the last incident. However, Shirogane Miyuki didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point with the girl:

"Here's the thing, I need your help with something. We've always wanted to take down the entire organization, so we've done something very risky. Xia Yan has now infiltrated an organization, but we're worried that Qian Hua and Ram will become suspicious."

Chapter 425 Feigning Illness

"As you know, if they become suspicious, it could affect Xia Yan, and the situation could become very bad. So at this time, we need you to hold off Qian Hua and Ram."

After saying these words, Shirogane Miyuki looked at the girl in front of him with anticipation.

After hearing these words, the girl standing to the side showed a hint of helplessness in her eyes, but at the same time, she knew very well that the reason she was out of danger and able to live safely here was all thanks to Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko.

So no matter what, now that Shirogane Miyuki has come to him, he has to find a way to help Shirogane Miyuki. After all, for him, Xia Yan is now infiltrating the organization as an undercover agent to collect a series of evidence within the organization.

"After we wipe out the entire organization, it might be helpful to his father." Realizing this, a glint flashed in his eyes. He pondered for a moment, then said to the Silver-Mitsuyuki before him:

"Okay, you can leave this matter to me. I will definitely handle it well for you. But you also need to tell Xia Yan to be careful in the organization. After all, the people in the organization are ruthless, and my father told me that they are usually very careful."

Upon hearing these words, a hint of agreement flashed in Shirogane Miyuki's eyes. He then hurriedly expressed his gratitude to the girl before him. However, Shirogane Miyuki did not linger there but rushed back to search for clues with Kaguya.

As Shirogane Miyuki's figure slowly disappeared from her sight, the girl sighed softly. In fact, she was also slowly searching in her heart how to hide it from Chika and Ram.

After all, Qianhua and Ram were both very clever. After realizing this, a look of distress flashed in the girl's eyes. However, after thinking it over, she finally decided to go all the way and just pretend to be sick.

Anyway, the girl was originally very weak, and her health had been poor ever since she came here. So on the second day, she deliberately made herself have a fever and lay in bed. When Chika and Ram saw this, a trace of worry flashed in their eyes.

Although they were fully aware that the girl was Lord Long's daughter, she remained incredibly naive after arriving here. Moreover, she had helped them a great deal, so Qianhua and Ram were very fond of her. Seeing that she was ill, they quickly sought out a doctor.

After a thorough examination, the doctor discovered that the girl needed to rest in bed for several days and would require someone to take care of her. Seeing this, Chika and Ram had no choice but to take turns caring for her.

...... ..... .......

However, because the girl is sick now, Chika and Ram don't have much time to pay attention to Xia Yan anymore. After all, they believe what Shirogane Miyuki said and know that there are many people in the relevant organizations.

Therefore, to avoid arousing suspicion within the organization, it would be better for Xia Yan to disappear for a while. Moreover, they have noticed that Shirogane Miyuki has been spending a lot of time with Kaguya and hasn't been going out much.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Xia Yan had never attracted any attention within the organization because he was always at the bottom. However, the more Xia Yan came into contact with the organization, the more he felt a sense of awe and wonder.

Chapter 426 Safe Return

In the past, Xia Yan had joined other organizations and knew some of their operating rules, but he never expected that the organization in front of him would be so ruthless.

They leave themselves no way out when they do things. Once they discover someone has betrayed them, they will kill that person on the spot. Not only that, but they will also not spare their family members. Moreover, everyone who joins the organization has signed a death waiver, the kind that means they will not admit to anything if the person is killed.

Not only that, everyone in the organization is ruthless. They don't care about the elderly or children at all. Anyone who offends them will not be spared. After realizing this, Xia Yan's vigilance gradually deepened. Moreover, he dared not be careless in his heart now.

After all, in his view, this organization was truly full of danger, so Xia Yan became increasingly cautious within the organization after getting involved in those matters.

Meanwhile, although Xia Yan has been able to safely transmit clues, Shirogane Yuki is extremely worried about him. After all, the more clues Xia Yan transmits, the more things they are investigating and dealing with.

The more he worried, the more he feared that Xia Yan would one day be exposed. Realizing this, he frowned deeply. Kaguya, who was standing nearby, seemed to have noticed Shirogane Miyuki's thoughts as well. She sighed softly, then came up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said:

“We can’t rush this. If you’re really worried that Xia Yan might get into trouble in the organization, you should prepare a backup plan for him now, so that if anything happens to him, he can escape in advance.”

Upon hearing these words, a hint of agreement flashed in the eyes of Shirogane Miyuki, who was standing to the side. In fact, he had the same idea in his heart. In this way, he tried his best to prepare another way out for Xia Yan and also told Xia Yan about it.

Xia Yan originally wanted to obtain more clues within the organization, as he wanted to dismantle it. However, as he gradually became more and more involved in the organization's affairs, he became increasingly shocked.

Moreover, the people in the organization are not only extremely cruel to outsiders, but also to their own members. In the past few days, a riot has broken out within the organization due to conflicts of interest. They are practically the kind of people who kill without blinking an eye.

Xia Yan was still hesitating about whether to leave this place, but after seeing this scene, he no longer hesitated at all. He knew very well that if he stayed here and was exposed, he would have no chance of leaving alive.

Furthermore, since Shirogane Miyuki had already prepared an escape route for him, and Xia Yan also wanted to take advantage of the chaos to leave, he didn't stay there to guard the area. He quickly left the organization through the escape route prepared by Shirogane Miyuki. When Shirogane Miyuki saw Xia Yan return safely, a smile flashed in his eyes. He patted Xia Yan on the shoulder and then said to him:

"You really worked hard this time. If it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't have been able to gather so many clues. But after investigating the clues you provided, we discovered an organization that's terrifying. I feel we need to be more careful in the future."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan, who was standing to the side, showed a hint of agreement in his eyes, and then nodded to Shirogane Miyuki.

Chapter 427 Worry

What makes Shirogane Miyuki happiest right now is that Xia Yan has returned safely. Realizing this, the smile in his eyes is slowly deepening.

Xia Yan, who was standing to the side, understood Shirogane Miyuki's thoughts and gave him a slight smile before saying:

"Alright, alright, it's only been a short time, and you've become so sentimental. Besides, I found a lot of strong evidence for you when I entered the organization this time. What are you planning to do about thanking me? Let me tell you, I really risked my life this time."

Upon hearing these words, Shirogane Miyuki rolled his eyes at Xia Yan. You see, although Xia Yan had entered the organization this time, he was still very worried about him outside, not to mention that he had arranged a backup plan for Xia Yan.

It took him a lot of effort, but he didn't expect that Xia Yan would not only not thank him after returning, but would say this to him instead. After realizing this, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. Xia Yan, who was standing to the side, was joking with Shirogane Yuki, and after seeing this scene, the smile in his eyes gradually deepened.

He didn't want to return to find Shirogane Miyuki looking at him with worry. In his view, the relationship between him and Shirogane Miyuki should be simple and straightforward.

So now that he saw Shirogane Miyuki return to his original form, Natsuhiko's smile deepened. Seeing this, Kaguya naturally understood that Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko were just joking. A hint of helplessness crept into her eyes, and she said directly to them:

"Hey, you two are both grown ups, yet you're still acting like this. Besides, don't you know what the most important thing right now is? The most important thing right now is to quickly gather the clues we've found in the organization into evidence. Otherwise, if the organization finds out, our situation will be very dangerous."

Upon hearing these words, Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko's expressions turned serious. They glanced at Kaguya and nodded to her. Natsuhiko, in a teasing tone, said to Shirogane Miyuki:

"Not bad. You two have really developed a good understanding after I was away for a while. Besides, you've probably collected most of the clues I sent out by now, so I'm not too worried."

Upon hearing these words, a hint of helplessness flashed in the eyes of Shirogane Miyuki, who was standing to the side. Although Xia Yan had provided some clues, and they had collected some of them, in order to arouse suspicion among the 660 members of the organization, they cut off all those clues as soon as Xia Yan appeared.

Shirogane Miyuki didn't hide anything from Xia Yan and told him everything. After hearing this, Xia Yan's brows furrowed even more. However, Xia Yan had gathered a lot of clues, and now they should have many ideas. They could just take their time.

Realizing this, he pondered for a moment, then continued:

"It's alright, it's alright. As long as we still have these clues, that's fine. Besides, you also have some evidence in your hands. Now we just need to summarize all these clues."

Chapter 428 Return

Upon hearing this, Shirogane Miyuki and Kaguya exchanged glances, a hint of agreement flashing in their eyes. The next step was for them to summarize all the clues. However, after using these clues to uncover a series of pieces of evidence...

Only then did they realize that the evidence was still incomplete, making it impossible to dismantle the entire organization. Upon realizing this, a hint of distress flashed in Xia Yan's eyes; he knew he couldn't afford to infiltrate the organization so easily this time.

Besides, having been in the organization for so long, he knew how ruthless the people there were. He had only managed to leave during the internal strife within the organization that time, so as not to arouse suspicion. Realizing this, his brows furrowed even more deeply.

Moreover, Xia Yan had another worry on his mind. Even though they had gathered a lot of evidence, there were still some people within the relevant authorities whom Shirogane Miyuki couldn't fully trust. Realizing this, he took a deep breath, glanced at Shirogane Miyuki beside him, and then said to him:

"What should we do now? Some of the evidence is still missing, and there are several people in the relevant units whom we can't trust at all. It's very likely that they are people planted by the organization in those units. But now that we have this evidence, what should we do?"

After saying this, Xia Yan's brows furrowed even more deeply. Shirogane Miyuki, standing beside him, naturally understood Xia Yan's thoughts and sighed softly. However, after a moment's thought, he continued speaking to Xia Yan:

"Since we don't have any ideas right now, let's just hide this evidence for the time being. We're still missing some evidence, and besides, there are people planted by the organization in the relevant units. If we hand it over to them, they might just leak it. It's better to keep it in our hands for now, and once we've gathered all the evidence, we can find someone we trust to take down the whole organization."

After saying these words, Shirogane Miyuki's expression became serious. Xia Yan, who was standing to the side, also showed a hint of agreement when he heard these words. In fact, he thought so too.

Without discussing anything else, he continued to organize the evidence. Meanwhile, on the other side, the girl could no longer keep up the act. After she pretended to be sick, Chika and Ram focused all their attention on her.

The girl was quite at ease a few days ago, but then Chika and Ram became so concerned about her that she couldn't handle the enthusiasm. So she kept asking Shirogane Miyuki when this would end. The helplessness in Shirogane Miyuki's eyes was also slowly deepening, but for them...

Now that Xia Yan has safely returned from the organization, they no longer need to hide it from Chika and Ram. So, Shirogane Miyuki told Xia Yan about the situation. Xia Yan and the others didn't waste any more time. They packed their luggage and planned to go back to meet up with Chika and Ram.

Chika and Ram had been quite suspicious, but upon hearing Shirogane Miyuki's news, they were overjoyed and immediately dispelled their doubts. However, Natsuhiko did indeed bring back a lot of evidence this time.

Chapter 429 Doubts

Chika and Ram were initially very happy to see Xia Yan, but before they could even ask him anything, they saw that Xia Yan had obtained so much evidence. Realizing this, they looked at each other with a hint of confusion in their eyes.

At first, they just thought Xia Yan had gone to hide in another place or was investigating another matter, but they did not expect that Xia Yan would produce so much evidence this time. You know, before this, they also knew about that organization, and knew that the organization was ruthless and had a very strong sense of secrecy.

Therefore, even if Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko were incredibly powerful, it would be impossible for them to obtain so much evidence in such a short time. After realizing this, Chika's doubts deepened. She looked at Shirogane Miyuki, who, seeing this, had a hint of guilt in his eyes.

After all, he felt it was his responsibility to keep this from Chika. Realizing this, he instinctively hid behind Kaguya. Upon seeing this, Chika knew that Shirogane Miyuki was hiding something from her.

But now that Xia Yan has returned, he can no longer ask anyone else about this matter. Realizing this, he went to Xia Yan's side, and Xia Yan suddenly felt uneasy.

However, before he could react, Qianhua's hand was already on his shoulder. Xia Yan's unease was slowly deepening, but he had no chance to escape at all.

Realizing this, he sighed softly, glanced at Chika, and resigned himself to his fate. A strange glint flashed in Chika's eyes, but she didn't mince words; instead, she went straight to the point and asked Xia Yan:

A smile slowly crept onto Xia Yan's lips, but at the beginning, he had no intention of telling Qian Hua so easily. Besides, he had infiltrated the organization as an undercover agent without the knowledge of Qian Hua and Ram.

If he were to confess now, wouldn't that put Shirogane Miyuki in an unjust position? Realizing this, he sighed softly, pondered for a moment, and then said to Chika before him:

"Oh dear, it's quite a coincidence that all this evidence came together. I had just found a clue to follow, but I never expected that this clue would involve so many people. So for some time now, I've been searching in that small town and found someone I know very well."

“I just got so much evidence from him, but that person said he was being hunted down by the organization and couldn’t come out, so he handed the evidence over to me, wanting to ask me to pass it on to the relevant authorities.”

After saying these words, Xia Yan looked at Qian Hua with a sincere expression. However, Qian Hua did not believe Xia Yan's words. In his opinion, it was impossible for Xia Yan to have found such useful evidence in such a short time. Moreover, he did not trust the person Xia Yan mentioned at all.
