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

"Hey, are you alright?"

Hua Daizi asked with some concern.

"It's okay, it's just that you ate too much ice cream. Airi is taking good care of Onii-chan, you'll get better soon."

"This child has loved to steal ice cream since she was little..." Hua Daizi said nostalgically while holding her youngest daughter in her arms, then suddenly remembered that there were still guests following behind her.

"Ah, Xiaosan, please come in and sit down."

"Okay, excuse me."

The young man, called Xiao San, had a gentle and refined appearance. He was of average height and had a neatly styled haircut. He always had a humble demeanor, which made him easy to like.

"I'll go get the tea!"

Ellie got out of Hua Daizi's arms and hurriedly ran to the living room.

"Ellie is so sensible."

As Akizuki Kozo watched the slender figure disappear around the corner of the entrance hall, he couldn't help but praise her, a surge of fervor welling up deep in his dark eyes.

"This child usually loves to act cute and spoiled."

Hua Daizi replied with a smile.

Marina stood blankly in the entryway, looking completely bewildered.

Who am I? Where am I? Was that well-behaved blonde just now my sister? And she calls him Sōsuke-onii-chan? Stomach ache? I was only out for half an hour, and my brother ate the whole fridge?

Dazed and confused, Marina followed them to the living room and sat on the sofa. She looked utterly bewildered, wondering why the entire living room and dining room had been so spotless while she was away.

"The tea is here, please have some—"

On the tray that Airi was carrying, four teacups were neatly arranged. She distributed them one by one to the three people around the tea table, and then sat down next to her older sister Marina with a cup in her own hand. The clear tea liquid exuded a refreshing fragrance.

"Such fragrant tea leaves..."

"Of course, this is the dew my father brought back from his business trip to Kagoshima!"

Kitahara Airi puffed out her small chest, looking like she wanted to praise me even more.

"Really……"

Akizuki Kozo took a bite, intending to continue to liven up the atmosphere with his eloquent tongue, when he suddenly sensed that the three people around him were not in a good mood.

"Ah, Dad used to be reluctant to drink it, only brewing a pot when entertaining important guests or when there were happy occasions..."

Marina sat to the side, holding a dark blue teacup, and murmured to herself, "When was the last time the five of us sat together in the living room and watched my father make tea?"

When my older brother was in elementary school, he once secretly hid expensive tea leaves in his drinking cup and brought them to school to share with his classmates. He was then severely beaten by his father.

I used to hate the bitterness of tea, so when did I start to feel a strange sense of familiarity with this taste?

Hanako, standing to the side, was overcome with nostalgia, staring blankly at her reflection in the tea, lost in thought.

The silence felt like a vacuum, suffocating everyone present.

After a long while, Kitahara Hanako, being an adult, quickly composed herself, the sadness on her face disappearing, and she forced a smile as she told Akizuki Kozo not to worry about it.

As expected of the protagonist, Akizuki Kozo quickly warmed up the living room with his humorous conversation and extensive knowledge, bringing a smile back to Hanako's face.

It was as if the strange atmosphere just now was just an illusion.

"I'll go get the cake..."

Ellie got up and went to the kitchen. Following Kitahara Sousuke's instructions, she first cut the matcha Bavaria into pieces for each person, and then served each person a piece of tiramisu.

When they returned, it seemed they arrived just as Akizuki Kozo was recounting his experiences as a doctoral student. Airi distributed the plate of cake to everyone, then sweetly raised her fork to Hanayoko:

"Mom, try some—"

Hua Daizi took a bite, feeling the richness of matcha burst on her tongue, while the sweetness of cream cheese filled her entire mouth.

"This smell..."

Hanako glanced at the cake on the table with some surprise.

"It's Mom's favorite matcha."

"Ellie said softly."

"To be honest, I was quite surprised when I first became a student of the professor. A second-year student tried to scare me..."

Professor Kozo, who was speaking eloquently, suddenly noticed that his audience was distracted. Sensing the surrounding silence, he asked somewhat strangely:

"Hanako, what's wrong? Is the cake too sweet?"

"Ah, no, no, it's just that I was thinking about some things from the past. Daisuke, he used to always buy matcha cakes on important days..."

Kitahara Daisuke is the name of Airi and Marina's father.

"Ah this..."

Akizuki Kozo scratched his head.

"Then try tiramisu. Sometimes when you've had too much matcha, it's a good choice to switch to other flavors."

“Dad used to buy tiramisu for the family every month…”

"..."

Akizuki Marina fell silent once again.

Ah, maybe my older sister is an unexpected airhead? Kitahara Sousuke lay on the stairwell, dumbfounded as he listened to Marina outside unleashing control effects one after another.

Chapter 5 I didn't want to NTR your dad, I just wanted to NTR you.

A silent shadow gradually fell over the Kitahara family members, and sorrow, like poison, numbed all the carefully crafted joy. Even Kitahara Airi, the instigator, was somewhat affected.

"You idiot, Sosuke, Airi is about to cry."

Kitahara Airi hugged her older sister Marina's waist and couldn't help but sniff.

Fortunately, Akizuki Kozo was not the kind of incompetent person who would back down when faced with difficulties; he understood the principle that delay could lead to unforeseen changes.

Since meeting Marina and Airi at the academy, his male functions, damaged by an experimental accident, have shown signs of gradual recovery. He's even experiencing feelings he's never felt before, feelings of intense passion.

"We must get our hands on these two children!"

He told himself this with absolute certainty. And through his connections, he investigated the Kitahara family using various means. He finally discovered Kitahara Hanako as a breakthrough.

Having just lost her husband and experienced a sudden change in her family life, a woman is at her most vulnerable and easily broken. He carefully cultivated a considerate and humble image, constantly approaching Hua Daizi, helping her overcome her grief while also trying to imprint himself into her heart.

After more than a year, things have finally started to look up.

Besides keeping an eye on his two younger sisters, Akizuki Kozo also inquired about the situation of Kitahara Sousuke, the eldest son of the Kitahara family, and concluded that it would not have any impact on him at all.

Convincing Hanako is a given; once today is over, she can infiltrate the Kitahara family and become a member, relying on her carefully cultivated excellent image, and...

Kozo Akizuki unconsciously squeezed the small spray bottle in his pocket.

It was a drug he accidentally synthesized a few years ago while researching hormones. It had strong hallucinogenic and aphrodisiac properties, and with it, there was nothing he couldn't do.

"We must not let our efforts be in vain."

Kōzō Akizuki gritted his teeth, forcibly ignoring the awkward atmosphere around him, and abruptly changed the subject:

"Hanako, don't you have something important to tell the children today?"

"Huh? Um...yes."

After being called several times, Kitahara Hanako nodded as if waking from a dream. Hesitantly, she took a folder from her bag with trembling hands.

Then, looking at Airi and Marina sitting to the side, he took a deep breath, opened the cover, and a blank marriage certificate appeared before everyone's eyes.

"I've always been attracted by Hanako's beauty and gentleness, and over the past year, I've received so much care from her. Looking back, I realize that I've fallen deeply in love with her."

But Hanako insisted that she needed the children's consent first. So, I thought it would be wonderful to have your approval too.

If possible, please entrust Miss Hanako to me. I will strive to do better and fulfill my responsibilities as a husband and even a father. I would do anything for Miss Hanako.

Please, please grant us our wish!

Kozo Akizuki walked up to the crowd and stood still. He put on a sincere expression, made no attempt to hide his feelings, and loudly read out his heartfelt words. Then he bowed deeply to Marina and Airi.

"Xiao San..."

Hanako covered her mouth, listening to the long confession and the extremely responsible speech, and couldn't help but burst into tears. However, behind Akizuki Kozo, who was bowing deeply, an exquisitely framed photo was placed on the TV cabinet.

The photo showed a pair of faces that were all too familiar to Hanako; it was a picture taken after Kitahara Daisuke proposed to her in college. In the picture, she was leaning happily on the man's shoulder.

"Hanako, I will be good to you for the rest of my life..."

The familiar voice seemed to echo in her ears, and the man had indeed lived up to his promise, cherishing her immensely after their marriage. She, in turn, willingly raised three children for him.

However, things have changed...

The initial feeling of being moved was ruthlessly severed by the memories. The "I promise you" that I wanted to say was impossible to utter due to the stabbing pain in my heart, and finally turned into a sigh.

"I'm sorry, Mom, but for the sake of your two lovely daughters, I can only ask you to suffer a little."

Kitahara Sousuke, who had been observing the situation from upstairs, silently apologized.

Something is wrong, very wrong!

Akizuki Kozo couldn't understand it. He estimated that his heartfelt confession, even if it didn't make the two little girls cry their eyes out, should at least make Hanako sob uncontrollably.

Now look what's happened. Marina is all touched, while that heartless girl Airi has snatched a strawberry from her sister's cake.

Most importantly, Hanako showed absolutely no reaction at this crucial moment. Akizuki Kozo took this visit very seriously, having planned countless possible scenarios and countermeasures in his mind.

Even when Kitahara Airi yelled at him, "I don't want a pervert like you to be my father, get out!" he was able to handle the situation skillfully.

What went wrong? What's the source of this subtle, low-pressure atmosphere around the Kitahara family?

"It's my turn to step in!"

Kitahara Sousuke straightened his collar, put on an innocent smile, and appeared before everyone with steady footsteps.

"Did we have guests? Ellie, why didn't you tell me?"

"bang"
