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

Airi jumped up and grabbed Kitahara Sosuke's arm, trying to take the kitten from his hands.

"Be careful not to get scratched."

Kitahara Sosuke picked up the kitten and placed it in Marina's arms. Airi was so lively; he was afraid she would provoke her and then give her a few hard scratches on her pink face.

After handing the uninvited guest over to his two younger sisters to deal with, Kitahara Sousuke finally had time to look around his room:

The comics, magazines, and other previously hidden items on the bookshelf were now in disarray, with torn pages scattered all over the floor. Scattered plum blossom petals littered the sofa, computer desk, and the floor beneath their feet.

The ham and dried squid I had left next to my computer were now just in their packaging, and the mouse cable had been chewed through. The mouse was all alone, with half of its tail hanging there.

Blood pressure is high.

Chapter Fifty-Eight: New Family Member

"Hehe, even a nobody likes this kind of doujinshi..."

Ellie lay on the floor, her pink nightgown revealing her two white legs sticking out behind her head, as she enthusiastically flipped through some black and white comics that had been torn to pieces.

The comic tells the story of a nerdy older brother and his academically gifted younger sister, whose strained relationship gradually transforms into one of openness and understanding after some strained communication.

The girl patted her feet on the floor, occasionally rolling over and poking Kitahara Sousuke's thigh with her toes, making funny faces.

However, Kitahara Sousuke had no time to flirt with her.

"The mouse, keyboard, and bed sheets need changing too! And she stole my dried squid and ham, and my treasured comic books! Ahhh, my Asahina figure!!!"

Kill it. I've also dabbled in cat meat dishes.

"Nisan, please forgive it, okay? I think it's actually very well-behaved."

Marina sat on the bed, listening intently as Kitahara Sosuke recounted the cat's sins. Then, she hugged the calico cat tightly and pleaded with a hint of reluctance.

"But my..."

"Ugh, Onii-chan..."

It was really hard to refuse Marina's persistent pleading. As a virtuous and capable younger sister, Marina rarely made any outrageous requests, and she was usually well-behaved and sensible, often taking on the role of caregiver. This made it very difficult for Kitahara Sosuke to say "no."

Finally, Kitahara Sosuke couldn't withstand the girl's expectant gaze any longer and could only take a deep breath, as if he had put down a heavy burden: "Okay, Nana-chan, I won't blame it anymore. If you want to keep it, then keep it."

"really?"

Marina held the cat's front paws together in a gesture of worship, saying, "Cat, quickly say thank you, Nii-san."

"Meow!"

"But you have to take her to take a bath first, then do a check-up another day, and she can only be adopted after she has received her vaccinations."

"Yes, received!"

Marina obediently saluted.

Then she took the kitten to the bathroom and found a basin that she didn't usually use to temporarily bathe the kitten. Since she didn't have any special cat shampoo at home, she had to use human shampoo instead.

Although long-term use of human shampoo can cause cats to shed hair, develop skin diseases, and other ailments, it's not a big deal if it happens occasionally; you can just buy more shampoo later.

But even the most well-behaved cat treats bath time like a major ordeal. Kitahara Marina mixed the right ratio of cold and hot water in the basin, tested the temperature with her finger, and found it to be just right.

Just as I was about to put the kitten into the basin, the kitten, which had been behaving very well in Marina's arms, suddenly froze as soon as its hind legs touched the water. Then it began to struggle rapidly, letting out continuous, shrill screams.

"Eh?"

Marina tried her best to calm the kitten, but the struggling kitten was incredibly strong. It not only managed to break free from Marina's grasp when she wasn't paying attention, but also kicked over the bathtub full of water.

Kitahara Sousuke, who was washing vegetables in the kitchen after tidying up the room, suddenly heard a panicked scream from the bathroom, followed by the sound of things being overturned.

"Maria, what's wrong?"

Kitahara Sosuke knew that bathing a cat was not an easy task, so he didn't pay attention to the small noises at first. It wasn't until he heard Marina's meow that he realized something was wrong.

"No, it's nothing... oh..."

Marina's somewhat flustered voice came from behind the door, but she didn't seem to be alright at all.

Kitahara Sosuke frowned. It's normal to be a little resistant when taking a bath, but this was a bit too noisy.

"Marina, I'm coming in."

Kitahara Sousuke reached out and opened the glass door of the bathroom to check on the situation. Judging from the sound, the person might have been scratched by a cat. If it was a house cat, that would be fine, but if it was a stray cat, it was important to deal with it promptly. The person might even need a rabies shot.

"Hey, wait, wait a minute, Nii-san."

Kitahara Sousuke opened the door and the first thing he saw was a kitten on all fours, leaning against the corner of the bathroom wall, facing him in a wary posture, with only the fur on its legs wet from the water.

"Nissan..."

Meanwhile, Marina, completely soaked, was kneeling on the ground with a wronged expression on her face.

Kitahara Sousuke quickly picked up his sister from the ground and carefully examined Marina's exposed wrists and ankles. He breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that there were no signs of being bitten or scratched.

"It's good that you're not injured... yeah right!"

The weather in April was crisp and pleasant, and Marina was only wearing a long-sleeved, knee-length nightgown. But now, the nightgown, soaked with water, revealed a hint of pink, and the dress clung tightly to her body, perfectly showcasing the burgeoning figure of the young woman.

Marina seemed to notice her brother's burning gaze, and quickly covered her chest with her hands, lowered her head, and dared not look directly into Kitahara Sousuke's eyes. She was very nervous and anxious, and tears were even about to come out.

"Nissan..."

Kitahara Sosuke quickly averted his gaze. It was beautiful, as it was, but if he looked any longer, Nana would burst into tears. He forced himself not to think about those strange things and grabbed a towel from a nearby shelf, handing it to Marina.

"Wipe yourself off first, then go to the bedroom and find some clothes to change into. You'll catch a cold if you stay wet. Leave this to me."

"it is good……"

Marina immediately stood up, her face flushed, crossed her arms, and hurried out of the bathroom. She dashed into her bedroom, and after making sure no one else could see or hear her, she sat down against the door, covering her burning face.

"I was carried in Nissan's arms like a princess..."

After a while, she stood up, took off her damp nightgown, quickly wiped the remaining water off her body with a towel, and then found a set of seasonal clothes in the closet and put them on.

She finally let out a long sigh of relief, pressed her palms to her chest, clutching her pounding heart, and sat heavily on the bed, but her emotions were still not calm.

"I think Nii-san saw it just now, and he seemed to really like it. What should I do? Waaah..."

She remembered that some of the books that had been torn up in Nissan's room earlier were about sibling relationships, and her heart started pounding.

Marina rolled around on the bed, covered her head with a pillow, and tried to calm herself down, but she kept muttering to herself.

"Oh no—what should I do?"

A faint groan came from under the pillow.

Meanwhile, Kitahara Sosuke slammed the bathroom door shut, put on his gloves, and stared at the pair of heterochromatic eyes in the corner, a subtle smile on his face.

"Oh, karma's finally coming."

"Meow!!!!!"

The calico cat, with its back against the corner of the wall, suddenly stood on end.

Chapter Fifty-Nine: Osmanthus Heart

By the time Kitahara Sosuke dried the cat's fur with a hairdryer and carried the cat, who looked utterly dejected, out of the bathroom, Marina had already taken over Kitahara Sosuke's job in the kitchen.

On the table were fried tempura shrimp and small pieces of fish. Marina just happened to be carrying out a pot of freshly cooked tofu miso soup when she came face to face with Kitahara Sousuke.

"Nisan, dinner is ready."

Marina's face was still a little red, and she didn't dare to look directly into Kitahara Sousuke's eyes.

"Uh, okay."

Kitahara Sosuke released his right hand, and the cat, now free, landed lightly on the ground, turned around, and ran behind the sofa, disappearing from sight.

"Eat, eat!"

Airi sat at the dining table, tapping the rim of her bowl with her chopsticks. She stared curiously at Kitahara Sousuke and Marina, whose atmosphere was somewhat awkward, and muttered, "Something's strange."

However, thinking of the scattered notebook fragments she had just sorted out, she couldn't help but chuckle to herself, realizing that she had now caught the attention of that nobody, Sosuke!

"You little bastard Sosuke, just you wait! You're already doomed!"

"What are you grinning about? Hurry up and eat."

Kitahara Sosuke gave her a sharp rap on the head. Recently, Airi has become increasingly unruly. Ever since the two of them slightly crossed the line last time, this girl has been trying every means to provoke him.

After she started to feel a little uncomfortable from all the teasing, she ran away again on her short, white-stockinged legs. What happened to being gentler next time? Where's next time?!

"I'm going to get a new keyboard and mouse tomorrow, and I'll also buy this month's Jump subscription. Does anyone want to come with me? We can go to the hospital for the little one's checkup."

Kitahara Sousuke pointed to the kitten that was curiously wandering around the dining table. The kitten had just looked frightened, but it immediately ran over from the corner when it smelled the aroma of the food.

"Ellie is going to her classmate's house to play tomorrow!"

Ellie was the first to raise her hand. She said she would let her pet the cat, but it was impossible for her to keep the cat.

"Nissan, the senior at the shop where I work asked me to cover for him for tomorrow..."

Marina lowered her head and said shyly.

"Hey, is Marina still working? Didn't I tell you that I, your older brother, could take care of your living expenses?"

Kitahara Sosuke bent down, peeled a shrimp, and fed it to the cat. He had completely forgotten the antagonistic relationship between the man and the cat just moments before.

"I want to help my brother."

Kitahara Sosuke patted Marina's head tenderly; this little sister was so sensible.

Yi Ri

Even though it was Saturday, Kitahara Sosuke still got up very early. He had a lot of tasks to do today; in addition to making up for yesterday's losses, he also had to take the culprit to get a medical check-up.
