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

Kitahara Sosuke hugged the blanket with a faint fragrance. He couldn't tell if it was the scent of laundry detergent or the girl's natural body odor, but it smelled very nice.

They didn't notice at all that Xingyue Feng's expression had turned extremely ugly.

"You're not allowed to go—"

Xingyue Feng gripped the other person's neck, her face contorted in a ferocious expression.

Chapter Forty-Four: The Girl in My Memory

In Lu Xun's "Autumn Night," there is a passage that reads: "There are two trees in my yard, one is a jujube tree and the other is also a jujube tree."

When Kitahara Sousuke was in school, he scoffed at this, thinking that this sentence was the pinnacle of nonsense literature. Did Lu Xun also have to pad his word count when he wrote?

At that moment, he suddenly understood the true meaning of the saying "Chinese language education is delayed." When he was ignorant and lacked experience, he felt that the essays and poems of those teachers were completely incomprehensible.

But when you are standing somewhere many years later, and suddenly realize something, that is the moment the bullet hits you.

Kitahara Sousuke genuinely felt this way. Suddenly, Lu Xun's words flashed through his mind: "There are two beautiful girls in my bed, Hoshizuki on the left and Hoshizuki on the right."

Squeezed between two beautiful girls, he began to ponder—no, not in a state of deep thought, but simply trying to recall why he had ended up in this situation.

Last night, after borrowing the blanket, Feng grabbed her by the neck and gave her a good scolding. Feng has a slightly arrogant personality, and in the few days they've spent together, he's completely figured out the girl's temper.

The anger probably isn't real anger, but rather a feeling of being excluded, so she's just throwing a little tantrum.

So this guy rejected Rin's invitation to play games together before bed, and even suggested that the three of them sleep on the floor in the living room under the pretext of surveillance.

"You two can sleep in the bedroom. Do you really think I'd raid you at night?"

"cut."

Hoshizuki Kaede's gaze, as if looking at trash, told Kitahara Sosuke that she thought he was that kind of person.

The three lay side by side on the living room floor. Because there was a thick quilt underneath, they didn't feel cold. Kitahara Sousuke lay on the far left, and Hoshizuki Kaede lay in the middle, saying that she would keep an eye on him to prevent Kitahara Sousuke from doing anything bad.

Only she knows the specific reason.

After the lights were turned off, the entire room was plunged into darkness, and the sound of raindrops hitting the window was exceptionally clear. Besides the sound of rain, Kitahara Sosuke could also clearly hear the intermittent breathing of the two girls beside him.

Are we in a training camp?

It was impossible to see who was speaking in the darkness, but the flat voice was still easily recognizable as Ling's.

“Indeed…” Hoshizuki Kaede chimed in, “Last year’s school trip training camp was also on a rainy day like this. We were supposed to go to Wakakusa Mountain in Nara, but because of the weather, we could only stay in the hotel bored.”

"By the way, where did you go on your school trip when you were in your first year of high school?"

Xingyuefeng asked.

"It's Nara too, beauties."

"Huh, why don't I remember you at all?"

Xingyue Feng asked with some surprise, because last year, as a member of the student council, she and her colleagues were responsible for organizing the trip and ensuring safety.

“Well, I’m not exactly a good person,” Kitahara Sosuke said with a smile. “Back then, I definitely wouldn’t have caught Kaede’s eye. I was practically invisible in my first year of high school. But you must remember Sawamura from our class. I was in the same class as her back then.”

"The ace beauty of the art club, who doesn't know her?"

Hoshizuki Kaede remembered and joked, "So you were in Class C? What a pity. If I were in charge of your area, I could have secretly left you in the mountains of Nara when I came back, and then made you cry and grovel at my feet calling me Lord Kaede!"

"Heh, if it were just the two of us left in Nara, who knows who would be crying?" Kitahara Sosuke muttered to himself.

“Sousuke might actually cry,” Rin suddenly interjected. “At that time, well, Sousuke was really depressed…”

"Huh? Rin, you know this guy? So early?"

Hoshizuki Kaede looked at her younger sister curiously, while Kitahara Sōsuke on the other side was also somewhat surprised.

Rin shook her head, then recalled and recounted, "I didn't know him, but he was pitiful, so I shared my bread with Sosuke."

"Are you that girl from back then?"

Kitahara Sosuke sat up and looked over Hoshizuki Kaede at Rin. The girl's amber eyes shone brightly in the darkness, so much like the one Kitahara Sosuke remembered.

As a first-year high school student, he had not yet escaped the shadow of school bullying. Fighting could not solve all the problems. He tried his best to use his fists to shut up those who bullied Airi and Marina, but he only ended up getting punched more.

Later, something even worse happened. He transferred schools, and to stop worrying Hanako, he started to tuck his tail between his legs and hide in the corner of the classroom after entering high school.

Being a bit of a jerk isn't a big deal; at worst, he just doesn't have many friends. Kitahara Sousuke's height and build mean no one would bother him. It's just that occasionally there are pranks from unknown perpetrators, like stealing his lunchbox or leaving him to do all the chores when it's his turn.

Overall, things are much better than before. As long as I don't cause trouble, there won't be too many problems. I can just go to and from school quietly. It's just that I sometimes envy the way other people eat in twos and threes in the cafeteria, scrambling for the meat on each other's plates.

Would you like to try some bread?

Kitahara Sousuke looked up and saw an unfamiliar girl sitting in front of him, tilting her head and looking at him. He shook his head and quietly ate the rice from his plate.

Then, a small red bean bread suddenly appeared on her plate. When she looked up again, the person was gone, as if no one had ever been there. All that remained was the small bread and the clear eyes in her memory.

"Because I feel that the old Sousuke was a bit like Rin."

Rin's eyes looked directly into the other person's, as if they could penetrate Kitahara Sousuke's body and reach his soul. Compared to the radiant Hoshizuki Kaede, Rin, with her guileless and innocent personality, was usually more like a shadow.

For example, labels like "Kaede's younger sister" or "younger sister of twins" don't bother Rin because she enjoys being with Kaede, but she sometimes gets annoyed by them.

"It's so heavy, get up quickly."

Kaede placed her hands on Kitahara Sousuke's chest and pushed him away. What kind of fateful reunion and tender gaze did they have? Were they acting out a romance drama?

"The bread is delicious, thank you..."

"Sōsuke doesn't remember me?"

"do not remember."

Kitahara Sousuke frankly admitted that perhaps Kitahara had not been happy before, and in his memory, the faces of the people around him that year seemed to be blurred.

"But now I remember, Rin."

"Ahhh, go to sleep! Don't talk anymore!"

Xingyue Feng covered her head with the blanket, thinking that she must have had the worst luck in the world. Why did she have to lie between the two of them? Was this what it meant to be fed dog food?

So the only sound in the room was the sound of breathing.

Chapter 45 The Little Bear Biscuit is Still Trying His Best

Kitahara Sosuke tilted his head; his hand was a little numb. He didn't know when, but Rin had moved from the far right to his other side, and Hoshizuki Kaede, who should have been between them, was now fast asleep, clutching his right hand.

Kitahara Sosuke tried to pull his hand back, but it seemed to disturb the sleeping girl. Kaede gently turned over and changed her position, holding Kitahara Sosuke's hand to her chest.

When she was asleep, Feng seemed a bit more demure than usual, with her long eyelashes fluttering and breath tickling Kitahara Sosuke's arm as she breathed out of her small nose. Her lips were as glossy as jelly.

And, even through his pajamas, he could clearly feel the amazing softness and elasticity of Maple, so his right hand seemed to have its own mind, breaking free from the control of Kitahara Sosuke's brain.

It slipped quietly into the gap between the buttons... There was no vacuum inside the pajamas!

"Stop touching it, you'll turn into an idiot if you keep touching it."

Maple murmured sleepily, pressing down Kitahara Sosuke's mischievous hand and continuing to sleep soundly. The sudden sound startled him so much that he didn't dare to breathe.

Kitahara Sousuke had no choice but to abandon his plan to withdraw his right hand. He turned his head toward Hoshizuki Rin, the two sleeping sisters looking exactly alike.

However, Rin's sleeping posture didn't seem very peaceful. The two sleeping sisters seemed to have switched personalities. Hoshizuki Maple was as quiet as a princess in a castle, while her younger sister Rin was more unrestrained.

No one knows how she managed to cross the mountains and ridges to reach Kitahara Sōsuke in the middle of the night. She hugged her pillow with both hands, rested her chin on the top of Kitahara Sōsuke's head, and tightly clamped his hands between her legs.

Kitahara Sousuke barely moved his trapped hand before the sleeping Hoshizuki Rin slapped him across the face, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

Perhaps because of the large movements, she couldn't find her own pillow. With her eyes closed, Rin groped around and seemed to feel that Kitahara Sousuke's head was about the same size, so she simply hugged it into her arms.

Suddenly, a warm and fragrant scent wafted over from all directions, and an immense sense of happiness enveloped Kitahara Sōsuke, accompanied by a strong feeling of suffocation.

"Feng's loss was not unjust..."

These were Kitahara Sosuke's last thoughts, and then he lost consciousness, accompanied by a faint milky scent wafting from his nose.

"Get up! Get up! Lazybones!"

Kitahara Sousuke felt something rubbing his face. He groggily opened his eyes and saw Kaede's long legs and a mischievous smile.

"Ah, is it a dream?"

Kitahara Sosuke felt as if he had a very vivid dream, but his subconscious told him that what happened that morning must have been real. He stared intently at Hoshizuki Kaede's face, trying to get some answers from her reaction, but unfortunately, the girl's face showed no unusual emotion.

"Are you sleep-deprived?"

Xingyuefeng wiggled her toes.

"Strange, how come no one noticed after rubbing it for so long?"

Kitahara Sousuke didn't know if he had pulled his hand back after he fainted; he probably hadn't, since he was being held tightly by the other person.

He moved the jade foot that was stepping on his face away. This guy Feng was getting a little too far, and his toes kept trying to stick into his mouth.

"what time is it?"

Kitahara Sosuke felt like he was a little oxygen-deprived, his head was spinning.

"It's seven o'clock, hurry up and get up to eat, you have to go to school."

Kaede stuffed her feet back into her slippers, in a good mood. It seemed that playing with Kitahara Sosuke's face with her feet was a way of getting revenge for the rubbing she had done earlier that morning.

The breakfast for the three of them was simple. Rin made three bowls of oatmeal with milk. The girl didn't eat much, but Kitahara Sousuke felt a little unsatisfied. He turned on the gas stove and fried three slices of ham in a frying pan to have an extra meal for himself and the girl.

The rich aroma of wheat, combined with the crispy outside and tender inside of the fried ham, whetted the appetites of the three.

After the meal, Kaede and Rin went to wash the dishes, while Kitahara Sosuke quickly prepared a few dishes to make lunch boxes. The portions for three people were easy to make, and the large portions of rice and layers of dishes filled the entire lunch box.

"That's enough, stop doing it."

Kaede stopped Kitahara Sosuke, who was about to order another dish: "There are still some cookies at school. It would be a waste if we didn't finish them."

"Cookies, what are we having for lunch...?"

Kitahara Sosuke instinctively retorted, but then realized something was off and tentatively asked, "You haven't thrown it yet?"

"Don't even think about touching these dishes if you can't finish them!"

Xingyue Feng angrily slammed the heavy lunchbox shut, leaving the other person with a beautiful back view.
