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

Marina came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and holding a kitchen knife covered in potato crumbs.

It feels so good to have family waiting for you every time you come home, and to have freshly cooked food ready.

"Are we having curry today?"

Kitahara Sosuke handed the bag and schoolbag in his hand to Airi, who was peeking out from the side.

"Tch, it's not pudding. Why did that nobodies Sosuke buy a bunch of lottery tickets?"

Seeing that it wasn't snacks, Ellie immediately lost interest and listlessly tossed the other person's bag into the living room.

Dinner was made by Marina using curry cubes bought from the supermarket, along with some side dishes from home, all stewed together in a pot. The broth and side dishes were poured over steamed rice, and the rich, fragrant flavor suited Kitahara Sousuke's taste perfectly.

Kitahara Sosuke couldn't help but eat half a bowl more rice, only to be disdainfully called a fat man by Airi next to him. "You wait, I'll hold a grudge!"

"Seven, wait a minute."

Kitahara Sosuke waved to Marina, who had just finished clearing the dishes and was about to wash them. He helped her sit down in his seat.

"Try it."

Kitahara Sosuke pulled out a scratch card and placed it on the table, then put a coin in Marina's palm.

"Nissan?"

Marina took the coin with amusement. Her brother was still so childish, just like before when he would mysteriously say he had a gift for her, only to secretly slip a folded paper boat into her textbook the next day.

Despite thinking this, Marina's hands moved quickly, swiftly scraping off the coating on the paper.

"Ni, Nisan?"

Marina stared in disbelief at the words "ten thousand yen" written on the thin piece of paper.

"Shh, continue."

Kitahara Sosuke held up a finger between the two of them, glanced at Airi who was lying lazily on the living room sofa pressing the remote control, and then pulled out a card and handed it to Marina.

The "scratching" sound of the coating being scraped open was like a cat's paw scratching at her heart, making Marina both nervous and excited.

"Nissan!!"

Marina covered her mouth in shock as she looked at the neatly arranged "50,000 yen" in her hand, her pink face flushed with excitement.

"Want to play more?"

Kitahara Sosuke smiled and patted the other's hair. Marina bit her lip and nodded excitedly.

What are those two doing?

Kitahara Airi lay on the sofa, her delicate white feet propped up on the coffee table, swinging back and forth. A sudden wave of irritation washed over her, and the entertaining variety show on TV suddenly lost its appeal.

Chapter Sixteen Night Raid

What are you guys playing? Let me see.

Kitahara Airi suddenly appeared behind the two of them, looking at the laughing Kitahara Sosuke and Marina with a puzzled expression.

"Ellie..."

Marina raised her rosy cheeks and waved the scratch-off lottery ticket in her hand, just about to share her joy with her younger sister, when a large hand covered hers.

"Go away, this is a gift for my lovely Nana-chan."

Kitahara Sosuke's shooing-away-from-flies made Marina laugh, but in return, Airi, enraged, stomped on his foot. The little girl's bare feet didn't seem to do much harm.

"It's just a scratch-off lottery ticket, you can't win anything."

As Ellie spoke, her feet seemed rooted to the spot, unable to move, watching her older sister Marina pull out a card, a coin lightly sliding across the paper.

"+10000"

"+5000"

∑(￣□￣;)

"No way! I want to play too!"

"Go wash the dishes first."

Kitahara Sosuke calmly replied.

"All done washing!"

"The table hasn't been wiped yet."

"..."

"Remember to heat the bath water."

Kitahara Airi: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

……

"Everything's done, now it's my turn to play!"

Airi wiped non-existent sweat from her brow, her expectant look making it hard to refuse. Kitahara Sosuke, understanding the principle of moderation, gave up his seat for her and then placed five scratch-off lottery tickets in front of Airi.

"Wuhu, easy easy."

Ellie proudly showed off the 10,000 yen in her hand, and then buried herself in her work again.

"Oh, pudding, pudding!"

"Hehe, it's a limited edition eyeshadow from Majorca."

"Maria, I want to buy a new dress. Hehe, a new dress..."

The laughter of Airi and Marina began to echo throughout the living room.

After a brief moment of pleasure, what often follows is a long period of emptiness. Kitahara Airi slumped listlessly on the table, looking like she was experiencing withdrawal symptoms after the initial ecstasy.

"Sousuke, is that all...?"

"Gone."

A hint of suspicion flashed across Ellie's face as her eyes stealthily swept over Kitahara Sosuke's bulging pockets, before she put on a regretful expression that said, "I haven't had enough fun yet."

"Alright, that's enough. Keep the winning tickets safe, and redeem them tomorrow as pocket money."

"Oh~~ Why does Mari have more than me? You're being biased."

"You big idiot."

Kitahara Sosuke poked the other person's head in exasperation.

"It would be better if you were as obedient as Marina."

Ellie slapped the finger off her head.

"I don't want to be lectured by that idiot Sosuke."

"I'm going to take a shower. I don't have any homework, so I'll go to bed early tonight."

Kitahara Sousuke, carrying his change of clothes, gave his younger sister a few words of advice and went into the bathroom.

"Ow!"

……

As night fell, all was quiet. The only sounds in the room were Kitahara Sosuke's soft breathing and the occasional distant sound of a car passing by outside the window.

A pair of delicate white hands quietly grasped the doorknob, then pressed down little by little, silently pushing open Kitahara Sosuke's room door. Airi tiptoed through the open door crack and then gently closed the door.

"Where is it? Where is it?"

Ellie hummed a little tune as she rummaged through the clothes hanging on the wall, but found nothing.

"Could it be hidden under the pillow?"

She quietly crept to the bedside, carefully slipped her hand under Kitahara Sousuke's pillow, and gently felt around for a moment.

"What are you doing?"

Kitahara Sousuke grasped the unclean little hand, opened his eyes in the darkness, and asked with a hint of helplessness.

"Hehe, I came to see if Onii-chan is sleeping well."

Ellie cleverly used her cuteness to say.

"I slept very well, you can go now."

"Woo..."

Ellie silently stomped her little feet, trying her best to look obedient and cute.

"Onii-chan, I want more..."

"Don't even think about it."

"Bang!" Airi leaped up from the ground and onto Kitahara Sosuke's bed, then straddled his waist. Suppressing her embarrassment, she pulled Kitahara Sosuke's hand from under the covers and pressed it against the outside of her calf.

"You've run into them! Hand over the lottery ticket now, or I'll call the police!"

She had expected it to be an embarrassing situation, but aside from feeling that the other person's hands were a little rough, Ellie felt no discomfort whatsoever. It was far less awkward than the last time.

"Tch, what's the big deal? Go ahead and yell."

Kitahara Sosuke moved his hand away without any hesitation.

"What about this?"

Undeterred, Ellie picked up the other person's hand again and placed it on her waist through her pajamas.
