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

"kindness……"

Eriri Sawamura's face flushed slightly. She blinked her big eyes, looked up at Chisato Suzumiya, and then hurriedly looked away. But realizing that this seemed very impolite, she suppressed her shame and forced herself to look at the other person. However, the result was that her face became even redder, and this blush seemed to be spreading uncontrollably down her neck and behind her ears.

"Ah!"

Their "affectionate" gaze was interrupted by a cold laugh from Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was watching from the sidelines.

At first, she didn't realize that anything was wrong, but after thinking about it for a while, she discovered that something was very strange.

I had to remind you so many times before you reluctantly called out my name, and now, on the very first time you meet this idiot, you just casually say her name.

What makes you so disrespectful to me?

Are you confident?

"Shiyu, you're too close... Also, you're stepping on my foot."

"I know. I did it on purpose."

"..."

The minor incident passed quickly.

Suzumiya Chisato invited the two of them to sit down on his bedside. He poured a glass of milk for Sawamura Eriri, then took a chair from his desk and sat down in front of them.

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked unwell, clutching Suzumiya Chisato's pillow to her chest, her gaze fixed on the window, still sulking about what had just happened.

However, this also provided an undisturbed environment for Suzumiya Chisato and Sawamura Eriri to communicate when they met for the first time in real life.

"...May I call you Qianli?"

"kindness."

"Sorry, I just happened to come here..."

"it does not matter."

"The things in the dream, we..."

"They are a married couple."

"You...you remember all of that?"

"I don't remember everything, but I know the general idea. Eriri is my wife."

Looking intently at the other person, Suzumiya Chisato softly added,

"More than once."

Eriri Sawamura was electrified by his earnest gaze, feeling her mind reeling and her heart fluttering.

"kindness……"

With her mind in a state of confusion, she could only give the simplest response.

Meanwhile, Kasumigaoka Utaha, listening to the conversation between the two and feeling the increasingly warm and sweet atmosphere between them, finally turned her gaze away from the window.

She looked at their expressions and said coldly,

"Perhaps I shouldn't stay here right now. Should I leave first?"

What angered her was not Eriri Sawamura's immediate affirmative reply, but rather the somewhat surprised look that Chisato Suzumiya gave her.

Just when she thought he understood she was in a bad mood and was about to comfort her, he said something she never expected.

"Be careful on your way home, and remember to text me when you get home."

As Eriri Sawamura turned her head in the opposite direction and shook her shoulders, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became cheerful to some extent.

Chapter 111 Poor Kasumigaoka

Kasumigaoka Utaha understands that everything should be done step by step, so she can also understand Suzumiya Chisato's feeling of unfamiliarity and alienation with herself due to the missing memories in her dreams.

But, but!

Shouldn't we at least treat everyone equally? Why am I treated with distance and unfamiliarity, while Eriri is treated with familiarity and closeness?

If I were in that situation, I wouldn't be able to maintain basic composure, would I?

Therefore, Kasumigaoka Utaha became increasingly angry the more she thought about it.

She picked up her coat from the bed, intending to maintain her last shred of dignity, and put it on as she left. But then she suddenly remembered the dream she had experienced for the first time.

In that dream, her married life was originally very happy, but she couldn't figure things out because she got stuck in a rut. Because of her overly complicated thoughts, she caused irreparable harm to herself, Suzumiya Chisato, and her daughter. The ending of the story can only be described as a human tragedy.

Because of this difficult personality, she even ruined her originally happy and fulfilling life and dragged down the people who loved her. With such a precedent, do you still want to continue to act childishly and repeat the same mistakes?

Thinking about this, Kasumigaoka Utaha calmed down a little.

Having done such terrible things, how can I have the nerve to get angry over something so trivial?

After putting on her coat, she didn't get up and leave immediately as Eriri Sawamura had expected. Instead, she yawned slightly, then kicked off her slippers in front of the two of them, hugged Chisato Suzumiya's pillow to her chest, and lay down on her side on the bed.

"I'm a little tired, I'll take a nap. Eriri, remember to call me when you leave later."

Her sudden, unannounced action startled both of them.

Eriri Sawamura noticed Chisato Suzumiya's gaze and quickly adjusted Kasumigaoka Utaha's skirt to cover up what needed to be covered.

Kasumigaoka Utaha made no further moves. She rested her head on the blanket, smelling the same scent as Suzumiya Chisato, and slowly closed her eyes.

Her performance, ironically, left Suzumiya Chisato completely bewildered.

What he just said was mostly a joke. He didn't really want Kasumigaoka Utaha to leave on her own. Instead, he planned to see the beautiful girl's cute face when she was slightly angry, and then he would take back what he said and make her turn from angry to happy.

But to his utter surprise, before he could even begin to coax her, she had already calmed herself down, then obediently lay down on the bed and closed her eyes, looking as if she wouldn't hear or see anything the two of them were saying or doing.

She's simply... the epitome of being obedient and considerate.

But it's strange, is she really that kind of person?

Suzumiya Chisato had this question in mind.

Eriri Sawamura was also shocked by her reaction, which was so different from her usual behavior.

She pushed the other person's body away with her hands.

"Hey, get up, you don't need to pretend to be asleep."

"..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha, with her eyes closed, breathing weakly and unresponsive, truly looked as if she were asleep.

But this situation made Eriri Sawamura feel embarrassed. She even suspected that this jerk had such a purpose in doing this.

"Shiyu looks really tired, let her rest."

Since Chisato Suzumiya had said that, Eriri Sawamura naturally stopped pushing and shoving.

She wanted to find a new topic to continue the conversation with Suzumiya Chisato, just like before, but as she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally managed to speak, talking about her situation, the school she attended, her parents' occupations, and other related topics.

Following her lead, Chisato Suzumiya gave a general overview of her situation in reality.

Utaha Kasumigaoka couldn't help but chuckle to herself as she listened to their conversation.

Where did these two people on this blind date come from? It's so awkward.

Despite the complaints, nearly half an hour later, the atmosphere between Suzumiya Chisato and Sawamura Eriri was surprisingly getting better and better.

They could chat happily about dry, uninteresting topics.

Not only did they exchange contact information, but their conversations also became increasingly private, and they even began to recall the various things that had happened in their dreams.

They talked about the beach they visited for their tenth wedding anniversary and the best resorts they had ever experienced together.

Kasumigaoka Utaha felt she should wake up. If she let them continue chatting like this, the two people beside her, who were having such a great time and were clearly getting carried away, were about to talk about things that were most likely inappropriate for children.

Is that something people who have just met can talk about? And why does he act like a completely different person when he's with Eriri?

So happy, so...proactive!

No, no... You can't get angry, you'll ruin his life.

Despite telling herself this in her heart, Kasumigaoka Utaha still couldn't bring herself to remain truly calm in front of the person she really liked.

"Feel sorry……"

Eriri Sawamura looked embarrassed and gently crossed her legs.

"Can I use the restroom?"

"Go ahead, just open the door over there in the entryway."

After she left, Kasumigaoka Utaha opened her eyes, sat up sullenly, her eyelashes fluttering, and stared at Suzumiya Chisato with a mournful expression.

"Do you hate me?"

This straightforward question surprised Chisato Suzumiya.

The Kasumigaoka Utaha he knew was a more mature, mischievous, and capable older sister figure, not the weak-tongued, submissive, and pitiful little puppy she was now, as someone who had been abandoned.

He wasn't sure what Kasumigaoka Utaha was feeling when she said those words.

Was it an emotional breakdown or pure acting?

Suzumiya Chisato got up from her chair and sat down next to her, saying very seriously,

"How could I possibly hate it?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes brightened slightly, but she continued to raise questions.

"But you treat me differently."

"What's the difference?"

"You're very natural around Eriri, but you're distant around me."

"I do not have."

"You have it!"

"..."
