Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

"What are you doing?" Thor's expression changed, and he looked at her warily.

Don't you think we should get along very well?

I don't think so...

"Really? You like Brother Chen, right?"

"Brother Chen?" Thor frowned.

"Don't worry about that. You like Brother Chen, and I like Brother Chen too. What does that mean? It means we have similar interests! We have the same aesthetic taste! Isn't that something to be happy about?" Jinmu Qianshu said earnestly.

"What you said... seems to make some sense?" Thor blinked, his mind a little slow to process what he was saying.

"Right? Since we're both good friends who like Brother Chen, why can't we get along well?"

"Let's get along amicably... Won't you try to steal Lord Chen from me?"

"Of course not! Let's take care of Brother Chen together!"

"Okay... then." Thor agreed, somewhat bewildered.

This situation has completely confused Shichen. Is Nishiki Chizuka really that friendly?

"Hehe~" Nishiki Chizuka proudly made a peace sign at Toki.

"Tsk~" Kasumigaoka Utaha walked unhappily to her designated spot.

"Kasumigaoka, what are you doing?" Toki asked.

Kasumigaoka Utaha did not reply to him.

"Xia Shizi?"

"Shiyu?"

"Shiyu?"

"Write a novel!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha then turned around and glared at him.

Chapter 24 How do three people sleep?

There weren't many customers at the coffee shop in the afternoon, so Tohru, as a senior colleague, began to teach Chizuka Nishiki what to do in the shop.

Chizuka Nishiki was also studying diligently.

Shi Chen found it a little unbelievable that their relationship had improved so quickly.

She clearly harbored hostility towards Kasumigaoka Utaha.

So this was her plan?

After all, Chizuka Nishiki was a newcomer. Should she first get along with Tohru as sisters, establish herself here, and then become more assertive?

Given Thor's simple-minded nature, he is still quite easy to manipulate.

But that shouldn't be the case; Shichen remembers that Nishiki Chizuka wasn't that scheming.

Is it because our experiences are different now?

Have I spent the last ten years trying to figure out why he's like this, and learned some subtle tricks?

Shichen hoped that Jinmu Qian Shu would still be the lively and cheerful girl he remembered, and that he didn't want her to have any ulterior motives.

He hoped he wasn't overthinking things.

Shichen didn't spend time with the two of them; instead, he went to be with Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Tohru and Chizuka Nishiki are currently developing a sisterly bond, and it's not appropriate for him to get involved; it would be bad if he caused a conflict.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was already in the zone, her expression serious, her eyes fixed on the screen, her hands on the keyboard, typing furiously.

She hasn't become a lunatic yet; she's just like when she's writing novels, rambling incoherently, excited, with a crazy expression, and even has a leg twitch.

Shichen also didn't want her to become like that; her current innocent and pure state was quite good.

But he felt a bit uncertain. After all, novelists are prone to going astray, because of their work schedules, deadlines, writer's block, getting too immersed in the plot... becoming a madman is inevitable.

Unless I stop writing novels.

But Kasumigaoka Utaha clearly loves writing novels, and Tokimitsu wouldn't stop her from pursuing her dream just because she'll become a lunatic.

Besides, it's not that he doesn't like crazy people.

Who could resist a mature and beautiful eccentric young woman?

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't mind the time he spent reading her novel, so he sat down next to her.

Tokiko discovers that Kasumigaoka Utaha is writing an outline, and the content of the second volume is even clear. A new female lead has been added, and the plot and highlights are a chaotic love triangle.

He knew the content of the second volume would be like this; the inspiration from life was just right.

Shi Chen personally enjoys reading novels about love triangles and power struggles. Since it doesn't happen to him personally, he finds them particularly exciting. Whether it's the women fighting or the men being helpless, it all gets him hooked.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's writing skills are beyond question, and Tokishi believed she could handle it, write it well, and write it brilliantly. However, the fact that the story was most likely based on him made him feel awkward.

It was as if he had experienced a hellish situation.

A battlefield of carnage is only interesting when it involves someone else; it's only painful when it's your own.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was full of inspiration and finished writing it all in just over twenty minutes.

"call--"

After typing the last word, Kasumigaoka Utaha let out a long sigh, pushed open her laptop, and slumped onto the table.

"What are you doing here?" Only then did she notice the time.

"Let me see how you plan to write the second volume," Shi Chen replied with a smile.

"I don't mind, but after you see it, will you still be interested in watching it? Then you'll know everything, right?"

"It's just an outline. I like to see the details you describe, and the romance scenes. There's nothing in the outline."

"Tch~" Kasumigaoka Utaha pouted, but then chuckled softly.

"Only you can talk!"

"Tell the truth."

"So, what are you doing here?"

"I had some free time, so I came to keep you company."

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked up and scanned the shop; indeed, there were hardly any people there.

"Then why don't you go and keep those two company? It's so nice that they don't fight and get along so well. You must be very happy, right?" Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at him and said sarcastically.

"That's not true, why would I be happy about it?" Shi Chen denied righteously.

"Ha~ I almost believed you, unless you're not a normal man."

"..." Now Shichen couldn't refute it.

"Hmph~ Go get me some drinks." Kasumigaoka Utaha snorted and changed the subject.

"Okay~ Want some cookies?"

"What do you say?"

"immediately."

He got up at the appointed time and went to get drinks and biscuits.

Watching his hurried departure, Kasumigaoka Utaha pursed her lips.

Shichen returned quickly, bringing a glass of iced juice and a plate of cookies.

"Shiyu, here, it's iced."

"Okay... what did you call me?" Kasumigaoka Utaha paused, staring blankly at her outstretched hand.

“Shiyu, isn’t that your name?” Shichen replied matter-of-factly.

"...Why did you call me by my name directly?" Kasumigaoka Utaha became nervous.

"Is it not allowed? I think we're such good friends, it's perfectly normal for me to call you by your name, right?" Shi Chen smiled slightly.

He had wanted to call out like that for a long time, and since he had already done so and Kasumigaoka Utaha had responded, he naturally wanted to press his advantage now.

If a man wants to get along better with a girl, he should be bolder.

Of course, one cannot be so reckless as to commit crimes.

"You, you... this is too sudden..." Kasumigaoka Utaha inexplicably felt her cheeks burning.

He called her that so fluently and affectionately that she felt he had practiced it for a long time.

This guy......

"What?" Shi Chen blinked and asked with amusement, "Does our teacher Xia Shizi get shy when a man calls her by her name?"

"Who, who's shy!" Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately retorted.

"Then there's no problem?"

"..." Kasumigaoka Utaha felt embarrassed and annoyed, but she didn't want to suffer in silence.

"No, I'll call you by your name too!"

"I don't care, so what if you yell?"

“ch......chen......” Kasumigaoka Utaha called softly.

"Mm." Shi Chen nodded.

“...You bastard!” Kasumigaoka Utaha gritted her teeth in embarrassment and anger, feeling her cheeks burning, which she quickly quenched with two mouthfuls of iced fruit juice.

"Hehe~" Shichen found Kasumigaoka Utaha's shy appearance really cute.

"What are you laughing at!" Kasumigaoka Utaha glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed.

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh."

"Still laughing!"
