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

Well, there was indeed no reason to refuse. In order to prevent Kitahara Sosuke from refusing, Kotoha brought Komihana to school as well.

"Hey, good afternoon, Gui."

As soon as Kitahara Sousuke pushed open the rooftop door, he saw a beautiful figure. Kotonoha, with her long black hair, was sitting properly on a bench not far away. On her plump thighs, which were encased in black stockings, a furry creature was perched, meowing incessantly, begging for the snacks in the girl's hand.

Good afternoon, Kitahara-kun.

The moment she saw the boy, Katsura Kotonoha smiled beautifully.

Chapter 102 My Favorite is Maple

"Excuse me, I'm sorry to trouble you to take care of it. Is this little guy being a bit disobedient?"

Kitahara Sosuke smiled and sat down next to Katsura Kotonoha. The girl had chosen a bench, but only sat on half of it. Wasn't that an invitation for him to sit down?

"No, the kitten is very well-behaved and hasn't run around or meowed."

The moment Kitahara Sosuke sat down, Katsura Kotonoha's body involuntarily tensed up, then slowly relaxed.

It's okay, Kitahara-kun wouldn't have an attack on his own. Katsura Kotonoha silently comforted herself, then realized that she really didn't feel any discomfort.

"Do you still know me?"

"Meow……"

Kitahara Sosuke casually picked up the calico puppy that was still nestled on the girl's soft lap, stroked the fur on its back, and then pinched its chubby face.

I feel like I've gained a lot of weight in just one day. Is it because I'm still growing?

The little calico cat tugged at Kitahara Sousuke's clothes uncomfortably, feeling that its master's body was stiff and there was no soft pillow on his chest. So it meowed twice in dissatisfaction, then kicked off the ground with its hind legs and started playing with Kitahara Sousuke's shoes.

Seeing that the other cat wasn't going to run away, Kitahara Sosuke took a ball out of the cat carrier that Katsura Kotonoha had returned and tossed it to the calico cat to play with.

"I... I made some bento boxes to give to Kitahara-kun as a thank you gift for what happened on the train earlier."

Katsura Kotonoha patted the kitten's head, then picked up the huge lunchbox next to her and placed it on her lap. The girl blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering, nervously watching the boy sitting next to her react.

Kitahara-kun will accept it, right?

Katsura Kotonoha usually buys deluxe bento boxes from stores for lunch, since the girl's family is relatively wealthy.

But if it's about expressing your feelings, wouldn't it be better to cook for the other person yourself? So last night, Katsura Kotonoha Satoshi started to get busy, learning and trying to cook for the first time.

Is it because of her "good wife and loving mother" qualities? Katsura Kotonoha learned very quickly and easily made food that looked exactly like the picture.

"Is that so? Then I'll have to try Kotoha's cooking properly."

Kitahara Sosuke smiled, put his lunchbox aside, and watched expectantly as Katsura Kotonoha slowly opened the lid, revealing layers of dazzling food.

"Please, please..."

The girl opened the lunchbox layer by layer. Perhaps it was the first time she had prepared a bento for a guy. Katsura Kotonoha made a very large portion. The first layer was filled with tempura and onion rings, the middle layer was chopped eel and lettuce, and the bottom layer was chopped fruit.

It looks very appealing, making it irresistible.

"Okay, then I won't stand on ceremony."

As Kitahara Sousuke spoke, he first picked up a piece of fried tempura with his chopsticks. The crispy texture and golden color showed that the maker had put a lot of effort into controlling the oil temperature.

So the taste shouldn't be too bad...

Kitahara Sosuke put the tempura into his mouth, and the moment his taste buds came into contact with the food, a strange taste spread through his mouth. Even someone as patient as Kitahara Sosuke couldn't help but frown.

"How about it?"

Katsura Kotonoha's eyes were full of anticipation as she stared intently at Kitahara Sosuke's reaction, noticing the boy's furrowed brows and his heart pounding at an alarming rate.

"Oops, I accidentally bit my tongue. Sorry, I'll have another piece."

Kitahara Sosuke chuckled awkwardly, picked up another piece of eel, and, based on his experience, figured the problem was with the outer shell of the tempura. No problem, it was understandable for a novice to make such a mistake.

But eels are such a simple thing, there shouldn't be any problems, right? Don't panic, it's not a big deal.

Kitahara Sosuke steadied himself and stuffed the eel piece into his mouth. Before he could savor it, a spicy flavor shot straight to the sky, making his mouth feel like it was turning upside down.

Did they add chili oil when marinating the eel?

"Cough cough cough... water."

Kitahara Sousuke covered his mouth and coughed violently. The taste of the tempura mixed with the spiciness of the eel made his mouth feel like it was exploding.

“Water…water!”

Katsura Kotonoha hurriedly opened her thermos, poured out a small cup of lemon tea, and handed it to the other person.

Kitahara Sousuke didn't even have time to be polite at this point. He hurriedly took the cup, tilted his head back, and gulped it down. Instantly, he felt a sweet taste wash away the discomfort on his tongue and throat.

How terrifying! I felt like I saw my mother from before I time-traveled in a daze just now. So, Kotoha is the ultimate terrible cook?

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

Katsura Kotonoha looked at Kitahara Sousuke, who looked uncomfortable, and wanted to reach out to wipe his mouth, but she didn't dare to move. She could only apologize in a fluster.

I originally wanted to follow Katsura's suggestion and cook to get closer to Kitahara-kun, but it seems I messed it up again. Does this mean someone like me is simply not worthy of being friends with Kitahara-kun?

Kotoha stared blankly at her lunchbox, the light in her eyes gradually fading.

"Okay, what are you thinking about?"

When Kitahara Sosuke came to his senses, he immediately saw Katsura Kotonoha's gloomy face and couldn't help but reach out and tap the girl's forehead.

"I... I guess I can only cause trouble for Kitahara-kun after all... I can't even do something as simple as cooking."

Katsura Kotonoha shook her head in defeat, looking like she was about to cry.

"Okay, stop making that face. I won't get angry over something like that."

Seeing that the girl didn't react after he tried to comfort her, Kitahara Sosuke simply reached out and pinched her cheek.

"Hmm? Kitahara-kun?"

Katsura Kotonoha snapped out of her daze upon feeling the strange touch on her face. She saw Kitahara Sosuke smiling and rubbing her cheeks with his hands, and her face couldn't help but turn red.

"It's okay if you're not good at cooking; after all, everyone has things they're not good at."

"But……"

"Besides, isn't Kotoha's lemon tea really delicious? I think it's great, can I have another cup?"

"Really, really?"

"Of course it's true. What, can't I get a refill?"

"No, no, please drink as much as you like!"

Kotoha's face brightened with renewed energy after receiving the praise. She quickly poured herself another cup of lemon tea and handed it to him. Seeing Kitahara Sosuke drink the liquid in the cup with obvious satisfaction, she finally regained some of her vitality.

……

"Ah~ Feng, Ling, you haven't finished eating yet? That's great, share some with me."

Kitahara Sosuke returned to the classroom and saw Kaede and Rin sitting around Hoshizuki Rin's seat, preparing to clean up the leftover food. He rushed over as if he had found a lifeline!

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?"

Xingyue Feng was startled when someone suddenly hugged her from behind, but she secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Kitahara Sōsuke, and her clenched fists also loosened.

The girl watched as the other person snatched her chopsticks and devoured the remaining food in her lunchbox in a flash, and couldn't help but raise her pretty eyebrows.

"Sigh, something happened, and as a result, half of my lunch was taken by someone else, so I didn't get to eat my fill."

Kitahara Sousuke swallowed the food in his mouth and quickly replied to the other person.

"Seriously, there must be some cute girl out there, right? You only think of me after you've been taken advantage of by other girls."

Xingyue Feng crossed her arms and complained.

"No, that's not true! I like you the most, Feng!"

"What?! That's a cunning excuse! Don't think you'll get away with this!"

Xingyue Feng's face flushed slightly, though she didn't hold back her words, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

"Sousuke, drink some water..."

Rin obediently handed the water glass to Kitahara Sousuke.

"I also love Rin the most!"

"Hey!"

Chapter 103 The Butterfly in the Four Directions is Melancholy

"Brother, we're going to a social gathering this weekend, are you really not coming with us?"

"I'm sorry, Diezi, I have a very important tutoring class to attend this weekend. Let's talk about it another time."

During lunch break, Sifang Diezi sat in her seat with one hand supporting her chin, frantically pressing her phone screen with the other hand, yet she had to suppress her displeasure.

"We want our brother to come with us. There might be a lot of super handsome seniors at these social gatherings. What if we get snatched away by a handsome guy?"

"Haha, after all, I trust Choko. I'm really sorry, I really don't have time."

Who needs your trust at a time like this? The fact that the girl has invited you repeatedly shows that the important thing isn't the social event, but you!

Sifang Diezi slammed her phone down on the table with a "thud," then slumped down with a helpless expression, wrapping her arms around her face to hide her disappointment.

"Blockhead! Small fry! Idiot! Brother, you big idiot!"

She kept wanting to say something more intense to vent her dissatisfaction, but the upbringing she had cultivated as a young lady from a prestigious family made her vocabulary for cursing quite limited.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you there?!"

Sifang Diyi picked up her phone again, changed her profile picture, sent a message, and waited quietly. She was quite certain that this person would reply as soon as they saw the message.

Anyway, I won't be like my brother, who is sometimes so busy with something that he doesn't know what he's doing that he doesn't reply to messages for a day or two.

"what's up?"
