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

However, in Japanese food culture, sushi is meant to be eaten in one bite, not in several bites. Taking small bites is considered rude. Eating the whole sushi in one bite, chewing the raw fish and rice together, allows you to fully appreciate the freshness of the fish and the sweetness of the rice.

When Rin ate sushi, she naturally ate it in one bite, just like any other person.

Although the sushi at this restaurant wasn't very big, the girl's mouth wasn't big either. She often ate two or three pieces of sushi in one bite before remembering to chew. Her cheeks inevitably puffed out, like a squirrel stuffed with chestnuts; her chubby cheeks were exceptionally cute.

"Hmm, why is Sosuke looking at me like that?"

The repeated stares aroused the girl's dissatisfaction. Xingyueling puffed out her cheeks and looked over. Her chubby face hadn't faded yet, and her adorable appearance made people want to poke her with their fingers.

Someone has already clicked on it.

"I already told you to swallow it before eating the next piece. I'm not going to fight you for it."

Xingyue Feng stretched out a finger and poked her younger sister's cheek with a look of exasperation. A small dent was immediately left on the girl's pink cheek, which quickly disappeared.

Unable to break her phone addiction, Feng could only remind his sister with gestures when she was engrossed in her phone and forgot about everything else.

"Waaah, I'm sorry, it won't happen again..."

Time passed quietly.

"I'm stuffed."

"I'm full too."

Two light, airy voices entered my ears.

Kitahara Sosuke looked up and saw that the two girls had left a piece of sushi on their respective plates. They hadn't paid much attention to it before, but it turned out that the two sisters even had the same appetite.

"We've finished eating, what's next?"

Kitahara Sousuke put away his phone. He had already finished eating and was just searching for fun places nearby or places that girls might be interested in.

Otherwise, when we finish eating and ask the girls where they want to go, it will be difficult to answer "anywhere" properly.

However, Rin didn't seem to intend to stump Kitahara Sosuke with such a question. The girl wiped her slightly greasy lips with a napkin and raised her right hand high: "I want to go see a movie!"

"The movie theater is on the fifth floor. We should still be able to buy tickets at this time. What do you think, Feng?"

Kitahara Sosuke nodded, and then began to seek Hoshizuki Kaede's opinion.

"Yes, there's a movie that's currently showing, and I'd like to see it too."

Feng nodded in agreement.

"A vague, budding love?"

"Ah."

The two sisters exchanged glances and quickly decided on the movie they wanted to watch.

After leaving the restaurant, the sisters Kaede and Rin went to the restroom hand in hand, leaving Kitahara Sosuke alone to buy tickets at the front desk.

Kitahara Sousuke was lucky enough to buy three tickets for the 12:20 pm showing. Perhaps because the time was close to lunchtime, there weren't many people making reservations, which allowed Kitahara Sousuke to easily buy three tickets for the same seat.

When a girl goes to the bathroom after eating, it's not just a normal bathroom break; it's very likely because she needs to touch up her makeup that was ruined while eating.

Feng and Ling are naturally beautiful and don't need to wear heavy makeup. However, since they are girls, it's common for them to look in the mirror and touch up their lipstick.

Going deeper, Kitahara Sosuke didn't understand either; he couldn't even figure out the bottles and jars on the table in Airi and Marina's room.

Japanese makeup techniques are world-renowned, and even junior high school girls are familiar with them to some extent.

During the boring wait, Kitahara Sosuke didn't forget to go to the snack area next door and buy two mille-feuille fruit cakes and three cups of juice.

It's common knowledge that girls have two stomachs: one for regular food and the other for snacks. Saying they're full is a lie; put a sweet egg tart or takoyaki in front of them, and they'll devour it completely!

"Sousuke, I'm back! Oh? It's a cake!"

Rin walked briskly around from behind Kitahara Sousuke, plopped down in the seat opposite him, and unceremoniously used a fork to pick up a strawberry and stuff it into her mouth.

"Hehe, so sweet."

The sweet aroma of cream and the refreshing scent of fruit made the girl squint her eyes like a cute kitten.

“This is Feng’s.”

Kitahara Sousuke chuckled at Hoshizuki Rin, who was enjoying her cake, and handed another piece of cake to her older sister, Kaede.

"Why did you only buy two pieces... Really, then let you have a bite too."

After taking the cake, Feng glanced at Xingyue Ling, who was poking at it with her back to the two of them. Then, with a slightly flushed face, she took a piece of mango from the cake in her hand and, without saying a word, stuffed it into Kitahara Sousuke's mouth along with the cream.

"Um...it's delicious."

Kitahara Sousuke was startled by the sudden feeding action. After swallowing the sweet fruit and cake in his mouth, he wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth and chuckled.

"Heh heh, that's good..."

Feng also took a small piece and gently put it into her mouth. The sweetness slowly melted in her mouth. When she thought that the fork had been used by Kitahara Sosuke, her earlobes turned slightly red.

Indirect kissing...

P.S.: Xingyueling: "You noob Feng, I've done that on the train before!" (Hands on hips)

Chapter 110 Older Sister and Younger Sister

The cinema on the fifth floor of the shopping mall is not large, with only three screening rooms: two large and one small. The screening room for the show that Kitahara Sousuke chose could only accommodate about 100 people.

The three of them were not in the best viewing area, but slightly towards the back. After having their tickets checked and finding their seats, Kitahara Sosuke placed his juice on the ring on the armrest and sat down next to the bell.

"There don't seem to be many people?"

Xingyue Feng sat in the far left seat, with her younger sister Ling in the middle. The girl straightened up and looked around at the occupancy rate of the theater. There were only about 50% of the seats occupied, and most of them were young men and women.

Kitahara Sosuke had seen the movie posters outside beforehand and learned that the movie was roughly about romance.

Therefore, most of the moviegoers are young couples.

As a result, a peculiar seating pattern emerged in the entire cinema: couples sitting intimately would be separated by one or two empty seats, followed by another couple whispering to each other.

On the contrary, Kitahara Sousuke, sitting with two others, seemed somewhat out of place in the entire theater. However, due to the dim lighting in the theater, no one paid any attention to the three of them.

As the small, scattered lights around the ceiling slowly went out, the entire screening room gradually fell into a dark silence. Then, the huge projection screen suddenly lit up, and the familiar words "Toho Co., Ltd." appeared on the screen.

Toho, as the biggest tycoon in the Japanese film industry, is naturally well-known. However, according to Kitahara Sousuke, Japan once had a period where the five major film companies were even more dominant, but that was during the golden age of cinema in the 1960s and 70s. Today, Toho far surpasses other companies in terms of box office revenue and theater distribution.

Look at its own cinemas; they're almost all located in the most prime locations in every city. And because Toho has the strongest partnerships with major television stations, its advertising campaigns are incredibly extensive.

Moreover, looking at the film categories, each major film company originally had its own characteristics during its early years and the golden age of the 1960s and 70s. For example, Toho's initial positioning was "bright and joyful Toho films," which meant that it was known for its comedies and films featuring middle-class office workers as protagonists.

Shochiku prefers to make family films about the lives of people in the old town, such as the "Tokyo Story" and "It's Hard to Be a Man" series. Toei is known for its period dramas, while Nikkatsu makes youth and action films.

As a result, Toho has grown stronger in recent years and has begun to compete with other film companies. For example, the hugely popular "Always: Sunset on Third Street" series, which even President Hu Jintao watched, has taken away some of Shochiku's family film audience.

At the same time, a large-scale selection of Toho princesses from different generations to star in youth films, such as "Crying Out Love in the Center of the World" and "Tears in the Wind" led by the first princess Nagasawa, as well as period films such as "Thirteen Assassins," also took away Toei's original market share.

Of course, other film companies, even though they were bullied by Toho in the film market, were still able to survive in the cracks.

Shochiku can now be considered the leader of Kabuki in Japan. In the film industry, they are also developing new categories such as tokusatsu films and animations for children, as well as films featuring animals as the main characters.

Toei's most famous recent work is probably the "Ooku" series, which takes its expertise in period films to the extreme and targets female audiences with strong purchasing power.

As for Kadokawa, I wonder if their president has already tasted the sweetness of using movies to boost the sales of his own novels and is unwilling to give up, for example, "The Inugami Family", "The Unsinkable Sun" and later "No Longer Human".

The film "Love in the Dark" is another youth romance film, but with a touch of comedy and eeriness.

The protagonist of the story is a Japanese female college student named Xiaomei. The girl originally had a twin sister, but because the twin sisters competed for nutrients in their mother's womb, the older sister unfortunately died at birth.

However, what Xiaomei didn't know was that her older sister hadn't died; her soul had possessed her younger sister, who had come into this world with her, and she was growing up alongside her.

As a result, the girl developed two completely different personalities. The usually quiet and gentle Xiaomei would occasionally become cheerful and enthusiastic, as if she had become a different person.

It wasn't until they went to college that the two sisters switched control of their bodies more and more frequently. Xiao Mei gradually discovered that she would often do things that made her blush and her heart race, but she couldn't remember them at all.

For example, suddenly writing a love letter to a male classmate and asking him to go out together...

It turns out that the older sister had fallen for a boy in her younger sister's class. Day after day, simply gazing at him through her sister's eyes was no longer enough for the older sister, so she began to take more and more initiative in getting closer to the boy.

"However, what the boy likes is... his sister's original personality?"

Kitahara Sousuke's lips twitched involuntarily. He glanced subtly at Kaede and Rin, who were sitting to his left, the girls engrossed in watching the plot unfold.

The plot feels strangely familiar.

As the plot unfolds, the boy gradually notices that Xiaomei, whom he likes, sometimes acts strangely, and he begins to subconsciously distinguish between the different times his older sister and younger sister appear.

He treated them as two different girls, even buying them two gifts at once, giving each of them two separate gifts.

The older and younger sisters would also exchange messages and communicate with each other via mobile phone. Although they had never met, the two could feel a strong sense of family affection.

The second half of the movie revolves around the romantic comedy of the three characters.

Under the sisters' advances, the boy gradually began to lose sight of whether he liked the younger sister who quietly sat on the bed reading, or the older sister who would sit on the back of his motorcycle, hug his waist, and shout happily.

In the end, as expected, the plot took a turn. The three, who had been living happily together, were involved in an accident during a trip. The older sister awoke from her sleep and, with her last strength, pushed the boy out of the out-of-control car...

Fortunately, despite suffering a severe head injury, the girl did not become a vegetable; instead, she miraculously woke up very quickly.

But on that day, the boy was in tears, and only he and the girl knew that they had lost someone who was very important to each other.

So, in the end, was it the older sister who left?

After the movie ended, Hoshizuki Kaede blinked her slightly red eyes as she followed Kitahara Sousuke out of the screening room and couldn't help but ask.

Girls are generally more emotional and more likely to resonate with the plot of a movie. Twins like Feng and Ling might feel even more empathetic towards the sisterly bond in the film.

“I don’t think so. Maybe my sister is still here, just watching them in another way.”

Kitahara Sosuke recalled the ending of the movie: a few years after her recovery, the girl held up a photo of herself and the boy laughing on a motorcycle, a nostalgic smile on her face.

"In what way?"

Feng pressed on with eager anticipation.

"Perhaps it's a fusion of two people's memories."

"really?"
