Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

So the most important thing right now is to read Kasumigaoka Utaha's novel.

Shichen wandered around for a while longer, but still didn't see any familiar faces, so he gave up and went to a nearby bookstore. He bought all the light novels and comics with good-sounding titles, attractive covers, and those displayed in the bestseller section, as well as the first few volumes of those comics.

Without looking at it from the beginning, you simply can't understand the time of birth.

He was lucky that the light novels and manga he chose included everything from the first volume to the latest one.

After buying everything, Shichen carried the large and small bags back home.

On the way back to the station, Shichen encountered the same group of pot-bellied men wearing hats and glasses he had seen before, but this time their attitude was a little different.

After they saw what Shi Chen was carrying, they nodded to him in a friendly manner, as if they acknowledged him.

For some inexplicable reason, Shichen even felt proud.

As expected, people in the anime and manga community don't judge by appearance; they only care about whether they share the same interests.

Shi Chen felt extremely honored to belong to this organization.

Without making any special effort to befriend them, he figured they might meet again someday, and then took the tram home.

When I returned to the coffee shop, it was lunchtime. When I entered the shop, I found that there were quite a few customers, and most of them were men.

Just then, Thor came out with the food, and the guests were visibly delighted.

Shi Chen understood what was going on; perhaps many of these people had been summoned by others.

"Lord Shichen!" Upon seeing Shichen, Thor excitedly walked towards him, no longer even bringing him food.

"You've worked so hard, let me help you." Shi Chen put down his bags and took the food from her hands.

"It's not hard work." Thor smiled happily, his big tail wagging behind him.

"As expected of my Thor, you're really capable." Shichen reached out and ruffled her hair.

"Hehe~ Did Lord Shichen buy something good?"

"Okay, I've bought it. I'll take you with me next time."

"It was a promise."

"Okay." Shi Chen shook his head and chuckled, "Let's not talk about that now. Which table should we send it to?"

"Number three."

"OK."

Shichen, carrying the plate, turned and walked towards table number three, while Thor skipped and hopped back to the kitchen.

I was praised by Lord Shichen!

Compared to Thor's happiness, the guests on number three were a little unhappy, but Shichen didn't care about them and left after the food was served.

"Please enjoy."

It's normal for customers to come specifically for Thor, after all, she's so cute and a dragon maid, as long as they don't have any ulterior motives or cause trouble.

Anyway, he wasn't worried about Thor; he just didn't want his mood to be ruined.

People who act out of barbarity or shamelessness are always annoying, but if such a person truly exists, he wouldn't mind eliminating such a scourge for the people.

He'll inevitably experience this sooner or later as he travels to various worlds, so it's good to be prepared in advance.

However, Thor will probably be needed to clean things up properly, as Shichen can't do it himself; he still wants to live his comfortable life in this world.

For some reason, the people who come to the coffee shop are all quite well-mannered; it's just that their love of beauty makes them a little unable to control their eyes.

The time doesn't matter.

It would be too domineering to not even let them see it.

The day ended quickly, but Kasumigaoka Utaha did not come.

In the evening, Shichen tidied up his study before taking a shower. After showering, he went straight to the study to read the novel written by Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Although I have some understanding, I am still unclear about most of the details.

After the study was filled out, the atmosphere for reading novels became particularly conducive, and Shichen quickly got into the zone, which was also related to Kasumigaoka Utaha's novels.

I have to say her writing is really good; it's a very comfortable read, and it doesn't feel like reading a light novel.

A new author's first novel is always full of original intentions. It breaks away from the template and formula of novels, and only contains what the author wants to convey.

Shi Chen was so engrossed in the story that he finished reading it before he knew it. It was only one volume, so it didn't take much time.

The story was indeed similar to what he knew, but he planned to read it again tomorrow, hoping to have a different perspective.

After calming his thoughts for a while, Shichen closed his laptop and went back to his room to go to sleep. However, as soon as he entered the room, he saw Thor.

"Lord Shichen, go to sleep. The bed is warm."

"...Why are you here again? We're not sleeping together tonight!" Shi Chen said firmly.

"But Lord Shichen made me go through so much trouble all by myself today, can't you stay with me for one more night?"

"..."

"How about one last night?" Thor pleaded sweetly.

"...The last night."

"Uh-huh!"

Chapter 19 Kasumi Shiko

A new week has begun, but Kasumigaoka Utaha did not come on Monday afternoon.

Shi Chen read her novel twice that day, and now he can talk freely with Kasumigaoka Utaha.

However, he still didn't see her on Tuesday afternoon.

How could you endure that?

He wasn't in a rush, though he figured Kasumigaoka Utaha was definitely much more anxious than him.

As the author, how could she not want to know his impressions and evaluations as soon as possible? She might be too nervous to know right now, but she'll eventually be unable to resist.

Indeed, this is true; Kasumigaoka Utaha hasn't slept well these past two days.

After handing the novel, along with her notebook, to Shichen on Saturday, she returned home and became nervous, staying up late into the night.

She clearly didn't consider herself a person who was easily nervous. After all, whether it was giving a speech at the beginning of the semester or giving a speech on stage, she was always calm and composed, without any particular feeling.

If you're not nervous in front of so many people, how could you be so nervous just because a fan is reading your novel?

But she couldn't find any other reason.

Perhaps this is what it feels like to do it for the first time.

No matter what it's like to be a first time, it's always nerve-wracking and exciting, let alone writing a novel, which is a way of expressing one's fantasies and thoughts.

It felt a bit like a public execution.

Kasumigaoka Utaha could only find excuses for herself in this way.

It's normal. She's just a young high school girl, inexperienced in the ways of the world, so it's not surprising that she's nervous.

Despite this thought, she still went to bed a little late on Sunday night and even had dreams.

It wasn't some strange dream, but rather a dream where I met Shichen and he criticized the novel relentlessly, deeming it utterly worthless.

So much so that when she woke up, she didn't really want to go to school.

In other words, she is mentally strong.

But because of this, she didn't look for the auspicious time during the two days of school until Wednesday, when she finally couldn't resist anymore.

What is there to be afraid of when it's a work you've poured your heart and soul into, a work that's a burst of inspiration, and a work you're quite confident in?

At worst, I'll just stop writing novels.

With this determination in mind, Kasumigaoka Utaha went to the coffee shop after school.

Standing in front of the door, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but hesitate again, but she took a deep breath and opened the door.

"Welcome, Hikari... Kasumigaoka-san, you've finally arrived." Tokimatsu teased Kasumigaoka Utaha with a smile as soon as he saw her.

Kasumigaoka Utaha rolled her eyes at him, but her nervousness inexplicably lessened considerably.

"I thought you wouldn't be here for a few more days," Shi Chen continued to tease her.

"Why should I wait a few days to come?" Kasumigaoka Utaha asked calmly.

"What do you think?" Shi Chen blinked.

"Hmph~ You don't think I came here because I was scared, do you?" Kasumigaoka Utaha asked disdainfully, arms crossed.

"Is not it?"

"Of course not, why should I be afraid? What am I afraid of? It's just that I happen to have something to do these few days."

"I see. So you didn't come because you were worried that I wouldn't like your novel?"

"Of course not, I am very confident in my novels."

"Alright." Shi Chen shook his head and chuckled.

"What's so funny?" Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned and glared at him fiercely.

"No, I was just wondering what you've been busy with lately, Kasumigaoka. You only came today; I've been waiting for you for days." Toki's tone was a little strange at the end.

"..." Kasumigaoka Utaha finally couldn't hold back, blushing and glaring at him with embarrassment and anger.

"Haha~ I won't tease you anymore. Go sit in your favorite spot first. I'll prepare some drinks and cookies for you."

"That novel..."

"Don't worry, I finished watching it a long time ago, and I've watched it three times already. Wait for me."

"Watched it three times?" Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression froze.

"Afraid?"

"What's there to be afraid of!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha turned and walked towards her designated spot.
