Crossover Anime: The Heroine's Savior in the Other World

And so another game began.

This round was even simpler than the last one. Kitahara Sosuke took the lead from the start and then steadily controlled the speed of the car behind him, leaving his opponent with no chance.

Leading all the way to the finish line.

"Tch, so bad. Was this game really that easy?"

Yoko shrugged as she looked at the flashing "congratulations" on the screen, feeling utterly bored.

Hey, I'm the winner, okay? Who was it that got completely outmaneuvered from start to finish and couldn't even see the taillights of the car? They almost cried.

"Ugh... so close."

From another racing machine, back-to-back with Kitahara Sousuke's machine, came a mournful, unwilling cry:

"They were so bad just now, but suddenly they've become so good. They must have changed players!"

Then a little girl with long black hair and black eyes stood up from her seat, stood on tiptoe and looked around at the machines around her, finally locking her attention on Kitahara Sousuke and Yomo Choko.

The little girl looked to be only eleven or twelve years old, with bright, dark eyes, long black hair, and two braids tied with beads on her head. She wore a black gothic princess dress with a red bow at the chest, had fair skin, and a round face; she looked quite adorable.

The little girl's adorable face felt strangely familiar to Kitahara Sosuke, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

Noticing Kitahara Sousuke and Yomo Choko looking at her, the little girl's ahoge (antenna-like hair sticking up) twitched, and her large, clear eyes turned to look at her. She said seriously:

"Competitive games only have meaning in one-on-one battles where the player carries their own glory. Hiring someone to play for you is the worst...wait, brother-in-law?"

"..."

A row of question marks appeared above Kitahara Sousuke's head.

I was just playing two games quietly, and it's one thing to encounter someone with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), but why would someone call someone else "brother-in-law" right off the bat?

Upon seeing Kitahara Sousuke, the little girl immediately went from her previous chuunibyou (delusional) state to looking aggrieved, with even a misty haze welling up in her eyes.

She hurriedly jumped down from her seat, silently biting her lower lip, walked to Kitahara Sousuke's side, and grabbed his clothes with her small hand.

"You got the wrong person..."

Kitahara Sousuke was speechless.

Hey, winning and losing is normal in games. Everyone loses sometimes. If you lose, you can win it back. What's with not only losing beans but also calling someone else's brother-in-law?

"Waaah, my brother-in-law doesn't remember me."

Hearing Kitahara Sosuke's words, the little girl felt even more aggrieved, and her eyes blinked as if she was about to start crying.

"You toyed with the older sister and don't even remember what the younger sister looks like. Kitahara-kun is really something."

Shifang Diezi, standing to the side, crossed her arms and pointed, a smile she couldn't help but chuckle on her face.

Hey, that's enough! Someone who can't even beat an elementary school student has no right to criticize others, right?

"You are... Guixin?"

Kitahara Sosuke went through all the girls he knew and finally remembered the little girl he had met briefly on the train when he took Mika for a medical check-up.

"Has my brother-in-law finally remembered me?"

Gui Xin's face immediately lit up with a lovely smile. The little girl's mood was like the summer weather, sometimes rainy and sometimes sunny.

"Little sister, who is your older sister, and why do you call Kitahara-kun 'brother-in-law'?"

Sifang Diezi bent down, looking at the little girl's cute face, and couldn't help but ask.

This might be a good opportunity to dig up Kitahara's past embarrassing history. She was always blackmailed by this scumbag with all sorts of secrets, so now it's a good chance to turn things around.

"I'm not telling you! You wicked woman who ruined my sister and brother-in-law's relationship!"

Katsura made a face at the four-sided butterfly, then immediately hid behind Kitahara Sosuke.

"..."

We mustn't get angry, or lose our temper with elementary school students; it would tarnish the reputation of our family.

Sifang Diezi forced a smile, suppressing her anger. The veins on the girl's forehead faintly bulged, forming a "well" shape.

Kitahara Sosuke's lips twitched: "Call me Onii-chan."

"Okay, brother-in-law."

"..."

Can you please stop going around claiming to be your brother-in-law? Who exactly is your sister?

Just as Kitahara Sousuke was about to speak, a gentle, clear, and pleasant voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

"Gui Xin, what's wrong?"

"That voice... why does it sound so familiar?"

Kitahara Sousuke paused, then turned to look behind him.

A stunningly beautiful young woman with long, straight black hair stood behind her, her black eyes bright enough to penetrate one's soul.

The girl stood behind Kitahara Sousuke with one arm crossed over her chest and the other carrying a shopping bag. She wore a blue dress with white stockings that extended all the way to the hem, her knees together. She looked somewhat panicked.

A devilish figure.

The face of an angel.

However, she has a somewhat delicate temperament, with an expression that seems to be apologizing to the flowers and plants at any moment, making people want to cherish her.

"Katsura-san?!" ×2

"Eh? Kitahara-kun, Yomo-kun..."

Katsura Kotonoha covered her mouth in surprise.

"Sister!" Gui Xin, whose mood had just brightened, jumped up and immediately put on a wronged expression: "Brother-in-law is bullying me on behalf of a bad woman!"

Chapter 148 Provocation?

"Katsura, don't talk nonsense!" Katsura Kotonoha hurriedly pressed her younger sister's head down and gently tapped the little girl's forehead. "Kitahara-kun and I are just ordinary friends..."

As she spoke, the girl pursed her lips shyly, a blush rising on her face. Brother-in-law? That was too far off; she and Kitahara had only just met.

My younger sister has a lively personality. After I told her about Kitahara Sousuke saving me in the past, she even gave me advice, saying she would help me win over Kitahara. However, her last attempt to win him over with a bento box was a complete failure.

I never expected that they'd even call him "brother-in-law" now.

However, upon hearing Gui Xin's crisp "brother-in-law," the girl couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion: Bei Yuan was gentle and handsome, and her fear of men wouldn't flare up around him. If it were really...

Katsura Kotonoha's gaze darted furtively over Kitahara Sousuke, then suddenly glanced at Yomo Choko standing next to him, and a sense of disappointment welled up inside her.

Kitahara and Yomo, a boy and a girl respectively, meeting up at a place like this after school to play video games—their relationship seems rather unusual. And Yomo is so pretty and popular at school; could Kitahara be dating her?

But I remember that Yoshikazu liked Sato-senpai, who was in the third year? But I might be wrong. How could a quiet, reserved guy like Sato-senpai compare to Kitahara-kun?

In that case, Kitahara-san and Yomo-san seem to be a good match...

"Kotoha." Kitahara Sosuke coughed lightly, interrupting the girl's reverie. "Is this your sister?"

From complete strangers to someone who bravely helped her escape harassment from Makoto Ito and the machinations of the Chihan Ten, and now they can chat occasionally on their phones, they should now be considered ordinary friends.

Kitahara Sosuke thought about it carefully and realized that he knew very little about Katsura Kotonoha except for the famous scene with the hatchet.

Previously, all I remembered was black stockings, a timid demeanor, and a samurai sword she wielded. As for where Kotoha lived, her parents' names, whether she had siblings, her daily routine, and her favorite foods... it was all a blank.

"Yes, yes." For some reason, whenever she met Kitahara Sousuke's bright eyes, Katsura Kotonoha's heart would start racing uncontrollably. "Katsura Kokoro is my sister."

"She's my younger sister!"

The little girl took the bottled drink from her older sister, tilted her head up, and looked at Kitahara Sousuke with her big, clear eyes.

Oh, I remember now, Katsura Kotonoha's younger sister, Katsura Shin, seems to be a very lively and curious child. Because she doesn't appear very often, Kitahara Sosuke couldn't recall her at the moment.

However, it's said that in one version of the game, Katsura Shin even had her own route... but it seems that it had to be removed after the game's release due to strong reactions from the Japanese public.

It's terrible!

Kitahara Sousuke had never played the game, and his knowledge of the characters was limited to vague memories.

On the other hand, upon seeing Kitahara Sousuke for the second time, Katsura was even more satisfied with him. He was tall, handsome, had an adorable cat, had rescued his sister as a hero, and was also good at video games…

The key point is that the other person seems immune to the older sister's fear of men! They're a match made in heaven! This kind of romance, straight out of an idol drama, is something you'd be struck by lightning if you missed it.

As she thought about it, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she called out in a clear voice, "Brother-in-law, when are you going to come home with my sister to meet Mom and Dad?"

"Gui Xin!"

"Hey, hey, meeting Mom and Dad... that's too fast!" Katsura Kotonoha, her face flushed, stepped forward to cover her younger sister's mouth.

Call me Onii-chan.

Kitahara Sousuke corrected him, looking exasperated.

"No."

The little girl broke free from her older sister's grasp, her eyes darting around, her gaze landing on Yotsuka Choko, who stood side by side with Kitahara Sosuke.

Wow, she's huge, almost as big as her sister, and she's also very beautiful. Her alluring beauty mark adds to her charm. She's a formidable rival in both figure and looks, and seems to have a slightly better aura than her sister.

Oh no, my sister is in big trouble!

"Brother-in-law, who is she?"

Gui Xin stretched out her fair little hand and pointed to the butterflies in all directions, asking a question.

"Student Sifang is..."

Just as Katsura Kotonoha was about to start introducing herself, she was interrupted by Choko's clear voice: "She's just a primary school student; there's no need to pay her any attention."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Sifang Diezi from the same class as Gui."

Sifang Diezi replied politely.

How infuriating, that air of an elegant young lady, so completely at ease…

"Brother-in-law, what's your relationship with this big-breasted woman?"

The little girl asked angrily.

Hey, your sister's chest isn't small either. Aren't you going to get beaten up when you get home for describing someone like that?
