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

Chapter 194 Special Training

Tuesday, lunch break.

Kitahara Sosuke climbed onto the rooftop and glanced around before spotting the girl who always attracted the attention of boys wherever she went.

The girl's bright and clear eyes were fixed on the sky above her head. Her features were exquisite: a high nose, thin lips, delicate eyebrows, and a full chest that would make countless girls feel ashamed.

Do you like the sky?

Katsura Kotonoha turned her head and saw a boy with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes standing behind her, Kitahara Sosuke watching her with a smile.

"Kitahara-kun," Katsura Kotonoha said, her face slightly flushed, "why would you ask that?"

When was it? How long has Kitahara been standing behind me?

“Because I noticed you were really engrossed in watching this,” Kitahara Sosuke chuckled, sitting not far from the girl. “Have you been waiting long? Speaking of which, what does the sky look like through Kotoha’s eyes?”

Katsura Kotonoha instinctively wanted to distance herself from the boy, but after realizing that the person next to her was Kitahara Sosuke, she felt a little more at ease: It's okay, it's Kitahara-kun, so there's no need to be afraid...

Katsura Kotonoha carefully looked at the boy's profile and answered seriously, "Hmm... It's a beautiful world made up of a vast and boundless azure, but it would be very lonely to fly alone."

"Yeah."

Kitahara Sosuke nodded. "You will see the world as you are."

It seems that not much has changed. Even in this world, the elite education provided by the girl's family, which leaves her with almost no free time, still leaves her with few friends.

However, this topic seems a bit too profound. I'm not a philosophy master or a psychology expert, so let's change the subject.

"By the way, Kotoha, are you still afraid of being with men?"

"You just happened to run into him?"

"Oh, yes, yes." Kotoha seemed puzzled by Kitahara Sosuke's question.

"Hmm... So, do you want to train with me?"

"Special training?"

“Yes, special training.” Kitahara Sosuke nodded, looking at the girl with bright eyes, “Special training to help you get used to interacting with boys.”

"Why suddenly..."

Although Kotoha didn't understand what the so-called special training specifically referred to, she instinctively shrank back and timidly asked, "And what kind of special training is it...?"

"Actually, it was Katsura who asked me to help Kotonoha a few days ago when she was chatting with me on Line. She said that her sister has been unable to get along well with others because of her fear of men, so she wanted to ask me to help Kotonoha."

Kitahara Sosuke pretended to be troubled and thought for a moment before saying, "The little girl didn't say it had to be kept a secret, so it should be fine to tell Kotoha."

It really is Guixin!

I knew Kitahara wouldn't ask me to lunch for no reason.

Katsura Kotonoha's face flushed slightly. The girl took a few deep breaths and tentatively asked, "What exactly does the special training entail...?"

“Well,” Kitahara Sosuke scratched his head, “Karashin meant that she wanted you and me to try some basic physical contact, hoping that you could get used to general contact with boys. Well, she meant teaching you how to deal with boys in general.”

"Eh eh eh?"

Kotoha rubbed her smooth legs shyly, her head lowered, secretly playing with her fingers from an angle Kitahara Sosuke couldn't see: "That kind of thing..."

"If you feel it's too much to ask, it's okay to refuse."

"No, no, if it's Kitahara-kun... it's okay."

The girl's face turned even redder.

"Ok?"

Kitahara Sousuke looked at the girl with some surprise.

"Because... after all, Kitahara-san is the first person of the opposite sex I've met who I'm not so afraid of, so if I start by trying with Kitahara-san, maybe I can really overcome that disease..."

"Are they truly aware of this?"

"...I will try my best."

"...Alright, let's start now."

As he spoke, Kitahara Sosuke bent down slightly towards Kotonoha, making his gaze a little higher than the girl's, and then extended his left hand in front of Kotonoha.

This condescending posture can put psychological pressure on some timid girls, even if they don't have androphobia.

"Eh?"

The girl's body trembled instinctively. She covered her chest with her hands and looked at Kitahara Sousuke with a nervous expression.

“Let’s start with a handshake,” Kitahara Sosuke said casually. “It’s the most basic step.”

"..."

The girl stared intently at Kitahara Sosuke's outstretched hand, then looked up at the boy, before shifting her gaze back to his palm. She repeated this action several times.

Seeing Kotonoha like this, Kitahara Sosuke couldn't help but sigh. Different timelines do indeed produce many variables. If it were the original Kotonoha from history, she might already be embracing and kissing Ito Makoto at this point.

Unfortunately, Makoto has already been sent away by me, and it's uncertain whether he can come back. The task of helping Kotoha overcome her mental obstacles has now fallen on my own shoulders.

But it doesn't seem like a bad thing.

"Kotoha, shaking hands is a perfectly normal thing."

If you approach relationships with a calm and balanced mindset, there won't be any problems. Sometimes, worrying too much can actually hinder you.

Kitahara Sousuke comforted him.

"but--"

"Think back to what happened on the tram last time. Weren't you quite bold enough to try and take advantage of me?"

Kitahara Sousuke couldn't help but tease the girl as he looked at her conflicted expression.

"No..."

Katsura Kotonoha bit her lip, staring blankly at Kitahara Sosuke's outstretched hand. The girl couldn't help but recall the scene when her hand was pressed against Kitahara Sosuke's chest, and she could almost hear his powerful heartbeat again.

It's okay, my fear of men won't affect Kitahara Sosuke. Even if it only happened once or twice, it might not be a coincidence.

The girl's hand moved toward Kitahara Sosuke's palm. Her slender fingers recoiled sharply when they touched his palm, but then Kotonoha took a deep breath and covered his hand with hers, their hands overlapping.

It feels weird.

Feeling the smooth, soft touch of the girl's hand, and the slight trembling that occasionally escalated between them, Kitahara Sosuke suppressed his inner turmoil and smiled: "How does it feel?"

Kotoha seemed to think for a moment before saying, "Well, perhaps because of Kitahara-san, there's nothing wrong with it... His hands are very warm."

and……"

Once again, perhaps Katsura was right after all, about herself and Kitahara-kun...

"Okay, very good. Now let's switch to the left hand."

"Left hand...?"

"Ah."

"OK.…...."

As she spoke, Kotoha slowly placed her left hand over it again. Her movements were noticeably bolder and smoother than before.

"Excellent, Kotoha, well done."

Kitahara Sousuke nodded; at this moment, encouragement was essential.

A faint blush rose to Kotoha's face again: "Um, please don't make fun of me..."

"Of course I'm not making fun of you, okay, continue."

"Then switch to your right hand."

"Yes……"

P.S.: Ellie: "Sister, have you seen where I put the cat training manual I bought?"

Marina: "No."

Airi: "That's weird, I definitely put it in the living room... Ah, I found it, that idiot Sosuke took it to his bedroom, really..."

Chapter 195 Bitter Tears

"Okay, switch to your left hand."

"Um……"

"Good, continue, right hand."

"it is good……"

"Switch to your left hand."

"..."

Following Kitahara Sousuke's instructions, Kotoha obediently repeated the hand-switching motion.

His questioning eyes lingered between the other person's face and hands. Kitahara Sosuke could somewhat understand the girl's feelings; he was also a little guilty. If he had to say, this kind of interaction seemed more suitable for calico... no, cats are a bit more haughty, or rather, some kind of more obedient animal.

Alright, it's about time.

"Kotoha, how are you?"

"Woof...?"

Kotoha tilted her head and stared intently at Kitahara Sousuke.

Kitahara Sousuke: "..."
