Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

Shi Chen glanced at Xiao An's bewildered expression and laughed.

"—The Queen of Steel, forged from cold and clear steel, the Holy Sword that slays demons!"

—May it transform into a steel sword, granting me power!

The engraving shone brightly, and then, a silver-white sword appeared in Shichen's hand.

Holy and radiant.

"Is this... that girl from just now?" Xiao An stared intently at the Holy Sword and couldn't help but ask.

"right."

As soon as the time was announced, the holy sword shone brightly, revealing Esther's figure, still wearing only a pair of black over-the-knee socks.

Her hands were tightly clasped with Shichen's.

"..." Xiao An was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

Although she could also transform into a weapon, she knew very well that Esther was different from her.

"Brother~" Esther ignored her and threw herself into Shichen's arms again.

"Good girl~" Shi Chen put one arm around her waist and rubbed her head with the other.

Ok?

He suddenly realized, why was his other hand empty?

Turning her head, she saw that Lala had woken up and was curiously looking at Esther.

"So cute!" Lala looked at Esther with shining eyes.

“Lala…” Esther frowned and glanced at Lala.

Her behavior clearly indicates that she knows Lala, and it doesn't seem like she knew her from within the Time Machine.

Xiao An did the same just now.

However, Shi Chen didn't intend to ask any more questions, and Esther clearly wouldn't tell him because of that "sister".

He was even more motivated to find out "her" true identity, and then he would definitely teach her a lesson as punishment for hiding it from him.

He hates riddle tellers the most, except for himself.

After all, being a riddle solver is truly enjoyable.

"Huh? Do you know me?" Lala asked curiously.

"I don't know..."

"Then let's get acquainted. You're Chen's sister, right?"

"Yes, I belong only to my brother as his sister."

"So, am I your older sister now?" Lala asked.

"...You are not my sister."

"Huh? But Chen and I are engaged~ If we get married, won't you have to call me 'older sister'?"

"No way!" Esther threw a little tantrum.

"Why is it like this?" Lala said, a little disappointed.

"It's okay~ Just treat her like a little sister, right?" Shi Chen comforted her.

"That's right."

"...Don't you have a younger sister? Why do you want to recognize me as your sister?"

"how do you know?"

"...I guessed."

"Wow, that's amazing! I also have two younger sisters~ Their names are Nana and Mengmeng."

"Lala, you have a younger sister?" Shi Chen pretended not to know.

"Yes, they are very cute."

"Really? I hope we can meet sometime if there's a chance," Shi Chen said with a smile.

He didn't notice that Esther looked at him with a hint of unhappiness in her eyes.

"There's definitely a chance." Lala nodded happily.

“I said…” Xiao An suddenly interrupted.

"What's wrong?" Shi Chen asked, looking at her.

"Lala, and Esther, could you please put on some clothes?" Xiao An said helplessly.

“Oh~ Esther is the same as me,” Lala laughed.

“It’s different.” Esther gestured to her legs, her black over-the-knee stockings looking exceptionally alluring against her milky skin.

"Estelle, why are you dressed like this?" Lala asked, tilting her head.

"Because my brother likes it."

"Really?" Lala looked at Shichen.

"......" The time has been selected and is set to default.

"I understand! I'll do that from now on!"

"No!" Esther shouted, trying to stop her.

"Eh? Why?"

"I can dress like this, but Lala, you can't copy me!"

"But Chen likes it very much."

"You can learn from Xiao An."

"Learn some secret techniques?"

Lala looked at Xiao An, Xiao An looked at Shi Chen, and Shi Chen looked at Ester.

Esther explained, "Brother likes leg rings, Lala, you can have the same as Xiao An."

"..."

Xiao An blushed and stared at Shi Chen: "R-really?"

“Uh…” Shi Chen had no way to refute it.

"I see, leg rings?"

Lala nodded knowingly: "Pekka, put a leg ring on me from now on."

“Yes, Lady Lala,” Pekka, standing at the foot of the bed, replied immediately.

"Chen, what kind of leg ring do you like? Is it the same kind of leather belt as Xiao An's?"

"That's not a leg ring!" Xiao An protested in embarrassment.

"Isn't it?"

"That's my combat suit, with leg straps to increase my agility."

"Is that so? I want to try it too."

"..."

Xiao An realized she couldn't persuade Lala, so she could only continue staring at the time.

Shi Chen wasn't afraid of Xiao An's glare; it wasn't harmful at all, but rather surprisingly cute: "Let's not discuss this anymore. It's getting late, I'm going to cook."

After he finished speaking, he released Esther and jumped off the bed.

"Brother, I want to come with you!" Esther pounced on him.

Shi Chen quickly caught her: "Why are you coming with me?"

“I want to be with my brother.” Esther’s tone was calm, but her eyes were exceptionally firm.

"...But how do I cook?"

"I can just lie on my brother's back."

"...You're testing my willpower."

"What kind of composure?"

"It's nothing... It's possible, but you have to put on some clothes," Shi Chen said, acquiescingly.

“I’m already wearing it,” Esther said, gesturing to her legs.

"You... never mind, let's leave it at that then." Shi Chen gave up.

“Brother is the best.” Esther hugged his neck tightly and wrapped her legs around his waist.

Shichen hooked his arm around her leg and carried her out of the room.

"Lala, is this okay?" Xiao An asked suddenly as she watched the two figures disappear.

"What do you mean no problem?" Lala looked at Xiao An with a puzzled expression.

“Estée is… like that…”

"What does it matter? I'm the same way."

"......That was not what I meant."

"What's that? Esther is so cute."

"Never mind, Lala, whatever makes you happy."

"I'm so happy~ By the way, Xiao An, how exactly do you wear your leg ring? I'd like to figure it out."

"That's not a leg ring..."

"They're all the same~ Let me take a good look!"

"..."
