In this crossover anime, I've been bound to two systems.

Husband, please wait just a little longer, my beautiful young wife is coming to visit!

As Kasumigaoka Utaha stepped onto the apartment stairs, someone suddenly grabbed her shoulder from behind.

She turned around and what she saw startled her so much that she gasped and took several steps back.

"I knew it... I knew it! You wretched woman!!!"

Eriri Sawamura angrily removed her phone, which had been switched on with a flashlight, from her chin, took two steps forward, and grabbed the arm of the panicked Utaha Kasumigaoka.

"I knew you, you despicable bastard, were planning to act in secret!!!"

Chapter 56 Eriri's IQ is Online

That blond idiot actually realized it.

Based on her usual style, she should have returned home without any ulterior motives by now. So what went wrong?

After her initial panic, Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly calmed down. Looking at Sawamura Eriri, who was gritting her teeth and seemed ready to pounce on her at any moment, it would be a lie to say she felt no guilt at all.

However, most people who engage in literary creation are quick-witted and cunning.

Therefore, Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly cleared her mind of those distracting thoughts and calmly asked the question that had been bothering her.

"How did you find out?"

"No normal person would say they're going back to rest right away while downing a cup of coffee to stay awake! You clearly weren't planning to rest; you wanted to do something else! Behind my back, secretly!"

"..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a pang of annoyance at herself for overlooking such an obvious awkwardness.

"Just because of this?"

"Of course not. You should really look at the look on your face when you were at the coffee shop."

"expression?"

"You're being too gentle, and you even offered to treat us! It's such a contrast! That's not like you at all. It just seems so strange!"

"..."

Oh no, how did this guy's intelligence and observation skills suddenly improve to such a high level?

Kasumigaoka Utaha found things getting a bit tricky.

Eriri Sawamura noticed the change in her expression, crossed her arms, and gave a cold snort.

"The expression on your face right now is your true self! Holding fruit you bought from the supermarket, are you planning to pay a visit? It's past eight o'clock at night, what are you trying to do?!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha hadn't expected the intelligent Sawamura Eriri to be so difficult to deal with. Now that her impure thoughts had been discovered, her original plan was completely unworkable today.

I'm too lazy to argue anymore; that would be too embarrassing and doesn't align with Kasumigaoka Utaha's philosophy of life.

"Want to eat?"

"Eat a ghost?!"

"Really? If you're not going to eat, I'll go back."

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't want to continue talking to Sawamura Eriri any longer; it would be a waste of time and pointless. So she turned and left without hesitation.

"and many more!"

Eriri Sawamura ran up to her and opened her arms, not letting her leave like that.

Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned slightly.

"What else do you want to do?"

"You can't go back."

Eriri Sawamura looked very serious.

"You have to come home with me and stay at my house tonight."

"what?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha was amused by her.

"Don't be so presumptuous. You want to imprison me and restrict my personal freedom?"

"I just don't want you, you despicable bastard, to act secretly without my knowledge again."

"The idea is good, but I refuse. Why should I cooperate with you just to put your mind at ease?"

"Okay, then you can go back."

Eriri Sawamura withdrew her hand and stepped aside in the next instant, very decisively and cleanly.

Are you just giving up like that? Were you just saying that for nothing?

Her actions deepened Kasumigaoka Utaha's doubts.

But she didn't think too much about it and simply strode forward.

Eriri Sawamura smiled as she watched her departing figure.

"I wish you a good night's sleep and sweet dreams."

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced back at her, then quickly turned her head to look ahead and walked away without looking back.

Eriri Sawamura stood there seemingly aimlessly, but she wasn't in a hurry. She knew Kasumigaoka Utaha's personality well.

The fact that the person in the upstairs apartment could make that guy lie to her and leave, and that she would sneak over afterward, shows how important that person was to her.

The delicious fish was right there, and both cats had their eyes on it. They couldn't possibly share it; each wanted to have it all to themselves.

With such an important person right here, just like the feelings she had harbored before, how could Kasumigaoka Utaha possibly leave like this?

The biggest threat is that he stays here and doesn't leave. That guy isn't stupid; he definitely understands what his actions mean.

Sure enough, within a few minutes, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who looked rather unwell, returned.

She questioned Eriri Sawamura.

"Why don't you leave?"

"Even if I leave now, will you be at ease?"

Eriri Sawamura retorted, then took two steps forward to close the distance between them, emphasizing her determination with each word.

"School swimsuit, sailor uniform, bunny girl outfit, business attire—if you're really determined, I'm open to trying these, even if it's a little embarrassing. If you still want to reject my previous suggestion, then so be it."

At this moment, Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression showed extreme unease.

She had known Eriri Sawamura for many years, but this was the first time she had seen that incredulous, unfamiliar expression on her face, as if she didn't recognize her at all.

Is the person in front of me really that Sawamura Eriri, who can only helplessly cry, shake her head, and swing her twin tails when she encounters unhappy things?

Is it really not someone with an extremely similar appearance and figure who is impersonating someone else?

The feeling that the person she had known for many years gave Kasumigaoka Utaha was too incongruous, and she even had these unconventional thoughts.

My fingertips pressed against my forehead, and my head started to throb.

Kasumigaoka Utaha realized that things were getting increasingly complicated.

This is like two armies facing off. She originally thought that the enemy's army was full of old, weak, sick and disabled people, and that she could easily deal with them.

But who knew that when the real battle began, the enemy army was full of wolves in sheep's clothing, each one of them capable of taking on ten men with extraordinary bravery. Caught off guard, she was defeated and forced to retreat in disarray.

It can be described as...

shame!

"Ha—hoo—"

Kasumigaoka Utaha took a deep breath and looked up at the apartment where that person lived.

"You're willing to go to that extent just because of that man?"

"It's none of your business."

"I was just making a casual remark, thinking it was a bit unbelievable."

"So, what's your answer?"

"...Come with me home first. I need to get my laptop and a few changes of clothes."

Kasumigaoka Utaha finally compromised and accepted Sawamura Eriri's previous proposal.

The two have been arguing incessantly, which only leads to mutual suspicion and wasted energy. Since neither of them can gain anything, a temporary truce is indeed the best option.

"It would have been better to just agree sooner."
