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

"Stop flattering yourself. I was just sleepy and slept on the table until now. Your mistake was playing a prank on a sleeping person."

"Indeed, I apologize."

Suzumiya Chisato did not delve further into the question of whether Touma Kazusa was waiting for him.

He knew that Touma Kazusa had returned and had been waiting for him in the classroom until now, and he understood that fact.

Touma Kazusa seemed very displeased with Suzumiya Chisato's apology. She suddenly stopped, turned around, glared at him, and reached out her hand.

Give me the schoolbag.

Suzumiya Chisato shook her head.

"I have something to tell you."

"Do not have time."

"Then at least we can walk together to the station, and talk as we go."

"Not interested in."

"Touma, do you hate me?" Suzumiya Chisato suddenly lowered her voice.

“…I hate it.” Touma Kazusa’s sharp gaze softened instantly, and she subtly shifted its direction.

"Do you think I'm a troublesome person?" he continued to ask.

"Yes! So what if I am!" Touma Kazusa was getting a little impatient.

"That's fine then. Since you already have such a bad impression of me, there's no need for me to hold back anymore. Your backpack is with me. If you don't want me to tear it up, then come along obediently."

"Are you in elementary school? How childish!"

Say whatever you want~

Chapter 104 I Want to Go Too

It's 5:30.

The sky wasn't completely dark yet, but the streetlights along the street were already shining white light, and you could already see a few stars when you looked up, which were quite conspicuous.

Looking at Touma Kazusa, who was rather indignant beside her, Suzumiya Chisato felt quite satisfied.

Sure enough, the usual gentle methods couldn't be used to deal with this awkward guy.

Since leaving the school, she has glared at him several times, her gaze clearly filled with resentment and fierce anger.

However, in reality, Suzumiya Chisato can still see the affection level increase prompts popped up by the Pure Love System from time to time.

Incidentally, back in the classroom, Suzumiya Chisato also realized, thanks to this clue, that Touma Kazusa was pretending to be asleep.

It's a very simple logic. How could she possibly be thinking about him all the time in her sleep? Even if she was thinking about him in her dreams, it wouldn't explain such a dense barrage of affection notifications, right?

So at that moment, he watched from very close range as Touma Kazusa's pink and moist lips parted slightly, feigning ignorance while hoping to entice him to take the initiative.

Even though Suzumiya Chisato longed for it, she still managed to suppress the impulse stemming from her male instincts.

How could I let you succeed so easily?

He craved more than just a fleeting kiss.

He wanted to see Touma Kazusa display both shyness and eagerness in front of him, and in his conflicted state of mind, he had no choice but to shed his cold and aloof armor, revealing the delicate and amazing flesh of the girl for him to pick.

Many decisions are made in an instant, so simple and quick it's unbelievable.

Previously, in the First Music Room, when Suzumiya Chisato saw Touma Kazusa's fingers dance on the piano keys like butterflies, and saw the sparkle and vitality in her dark eyes, and witnessed her unique charm that shouldn't exist at her age, he was already irrevocably attracted to her.

I want to hold her hand above her head, to lift her delicate feet high so that her slender toes are level with my shoulders…

It was a thought that surged into his mind in an instant, coupled with the moment he saw the girl who had already left sitting obediently in her seat waiting for him to return after he finished working in the office and returned to the classroom today.

At that time, some things were already fixed and locked in, and there was no possibility of any change.

On their way to the station, the two passed by yakitori restaurants and izakayas, where the aroma of food and drinks wafted out.

"Would you like to have dinner?"

Suzumiya Senri asked Touma Kazusa a question, then added,

"My treat."

Touma Kazusa, arms crossed, looked over with a cold gaze.

Is this all you wanted to tell me today?

"of course not."

Suzumiya Senri shook her head.

"It's about your life and my dreams."

"...My life is fine, you don't need to worry about it. As for your dreams, what do they have to do with me?"

"This is how you speak; please be sure to continue doing so."

Chisato Suzumiya seemed quite pleased.

"Aha?"

Touma Kazusa found it hard to understand.

Does this guy enjoy being treated with disdain? How come I never noticed he had this quirk before?

"It's good that you keep speaking like this. That way, no one else will be your friend. In a way, only I know and understand the real Touma Kazusa."

That feeling of having it all to myself was just amazing.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Since you think this is nonsense, then let it be nonsense."

Seeing the puzzled look on Touma Kazusa's face, Suzumiya Chisato had no intention of continuing to explain.

He stopped in front of a dessert shop and asked Touma Kazusa what she thought.

"How about we have dinner here?"

"Go eat by yourself, give me back my backpack, I'm going home."

Touma Kazusa turned her head away from him and reached out her hand.

Suzumiya Chisato ignored her words and walked straight into the shop.

Hello, you two.

"Are you two? This way, please."

That guy...!

Touma Kazusa was so angry that she wanted to turn around and leave, but after her chest heaved violently several times, she still went into the dessert shop.

The shop assistant naturally assumed that the calm-looking boy and the seemingly angry girl were a couple bickering, and he acted as a peacemaker, recommending a couple's set meal to them.

Touma Kazusa rested her chin on her hand, gazing out the window, showing no intention of speaking. Thus, only Suzumiya Chisato communicated with the shop assistants throughout the entire exchange.

What's included in the couple's set meal?

"Lime flower tea iced drink, tiramisu cake, jujube cake, peach jam pie, all of the above are served in double portions."

"Sour jujube cake and peach jam pie, they'll be a bit sour, won't they?"

When Suzumiya Chisato asked the question, Touma Kazusa turned her gaze back to him and glanced at him.

"Yes."

"Then no need."

Suzumiya Chisato flipped through the menu in his hand. He ordered a Baumkuchen for himself and a signature milk pudding and banana pancake tart for Touma Kazusa.

Both of these desserts have no extra textures; they are simply sweet.

After the dessert was served, Touma Kazusa took a small spoon and started eating the pudding without saying a word, finishing it quickly.

"I'm glad you're satisfied with your meal. Would you like another serving?"

The cake in front of Suzumiya Chisato hadn't been touched; he had just been watching Touma Kazusa eat pudding.

"Need not."

Touma Kazusa took the maple syrup and poured it over the pancake tower, then took a knife and fork, cut off a piece, and put it in her mouth.

Whether it was the dessert that soothed her mood or she was simply too lazy to resist, she was behaving quite docilely.

Suzumiya Chisato secretly sighed that her strategy of using sweet food to deal with her had worked, finally allowing the two of them to have a peaceful conversation in a quiet environment.

"Because I have to go to work later, I'll just briefly explain why I contacted you today, it's..."

What kind of work are you doing?

Touma Kazusa interrupted him.

Suzumiya Chisato paused for a moment, then answered honestly.

"I helped make drinks and collect entrance fees at the exhibition hall."

What kind of place is the performance hall?

"Well, there will be exhibition halls where bands and underground idols will perform. You can think of it as a starting point for young people to realize their dreams."

Touma Kazusa nodded thoughtfully, though it was unclear whether she understood.

"The reason I asked you to wait for me today is that I want to reach an agreement with you..."

"I'll go too later."

"???"

What expansion is this?

"No, what are you going to do at the place where I work?"

"Who says that you're the only one who can act recklessly?"

Touma Kazusa snatched the Baumkuchen from in front of Suzumiya Chisato, cut off a piece, and popped it into her mouth.
