Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

Chapter 30 Come to my house

It was the weekend again, and Kasumigaoka Utaha came to find Tokimitsu early in the morning as usual. In fact, she arrived a little early today, when Tokimitsu and the others had just gotten up.

However, the three of them had already left the room, and she was unaware that they slept together every day.

"Why don't you just stay here?" Thor couldn't help but tease as he watched her leisurely go upstairs.

"I don't care, but you don't mind?" Kasumigaoka Utaha asked with a smile.

"What's it to you? You come here every day now, what's the difference between that and living here?" Thor scoffed.

“That makes some sense.” Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms and nodded in agreement.

"Hmph~" Thor immediately crossed his arms as well.

Much more magnificent than her.

"..." Kasumigaoka Utaha rolled her eyes at her.

"Hehe~ I really welcome you to Kasumigaoka~" Nishiki Chizuka said with a grin.

"why?"

"The more people, the more lively it is!"

"You two aren't up to any tricks, are you?" Kasumigaoka Utaha looked back and forth at the two of them warily.

She knew perfectly well what the two of them were thinking about Shichen, so how could she be so kind as to let her stay?

"Only someone with such a wicked mind would think that way." Thor ignored her, rolled his eyes at her, and went to eat and make breakfast.

Lord Chen is still waiting for her loving breakfast.

"Hmm? Did you brainwash her?" Kasumigaoka Uta couldn't help but ask Nishiki Chizuka, still remembering Tohru's wariness of her.

"I didn't do anything, you're just too narrow-minded," Nishiki Chizuka replied cheerfully, and went downstairs as well.

“Narrow-minded? What do you mean?” Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned in thought.

"Why are you here?" Just then, Shi Chen came out of the bathroom after washing up.

"What about Tohru and Chizuka?"

Feeling a little guilty, Shi Chen looked around but couldn't find the two of them. Fortunately, the door to the room was closed.

If the lights were on, and Kasumigaoka Utaha saw the messy state of the room and bed, then she would know everything.

After all, there were three people's pajamas casually scattered on the bed, making it hard not to have wild thoughts.

Shichen doesn't dare let Kasumigaoka Utaha know that he shared a bed with the two of them yet.

Even if it was forced.

He never offered to let the two of them sleep with him, and even tried to get them to sleep alone, but all attempts failed.

It was manageable when it was a 1-to-1 ratio, but now with the addition of Thousand Brocade Trees, it's 2-to-1, and there's nothing we can do.

His family's motto is that the minority submits to the majority.

"The two of them went downstairs to cook," Kasumigaoka Utaha said, her eyes fixed on Tokimitsu's face.

"W-What's wrong?" Shi Chen couldn't help but touch his face.

"Don't you use any skincare products or anything?"

"What would a man like me need that for?"

"Then why is your skin better than mine?"

Shi Chen remained silent: "What's there to care about? There's always someone with better skin than you."

"But you're a man, and you've already graduated from university, haven't you?"

"Maybe I'm just naturally beautiful."

"I don't believe it, let me touch it." Kasumigaoka Utaha said, taking a step forward and reaching out to touch Tokiomi's left cheek.

"You didn't do this on purpose, did you?" Shi Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, but didn't stop her.

"What do you mean by 'intentionally'? I don't understand what you're saying." Kasumigaoka Utaha stroked Tokimitsu's face, feeling it carefully.

"It's actually so delicate..."

"I don't think this is fair," Shiki said seriously, feeling Kasumigaoka Utaha's hand.

"What's unfair?"

"It is impolite not to reciprocate." Shichen said, reaching out to stroke Kasumigaoka Utaha's face.

Tokichi didn't feel anything about his own face, but Kasumigaoka Utaha's face was very delicate and smooth, warm and cool, and a little soft and bouncy, making him want to pinch it.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned. Her hand, which was stroking Tokishi's face, stopped moving. Feeling the warm hand on her cheek, her heart pounded.

Until Shichen couldn't resist pinching her cheek.

"What are you doing?" Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly withdrew her hand and slapped Tokishi's hand away, blushing as she questioned him.

"Sorry, sorry, I couldn't help it."

"...Why did you suddenly touch my face?" Kasumigaoka Utaha felt her face burning. She tried to remain calm, glaring at Tokiomi with embarrassment and annoyance.

"Didn't I say that courtesy should be reciprocated?"

"Men and women are different too..."

"What era are we living in? Don't you understand gender equality?"

"..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha rolled her eyes at Tokimitsu, then turned and went downstairs, her steps a little quick.

Shi Chen smiled as he watched her hurriedly flee, and followed her.

After breakfast, Tohru and Chizuka Nishiki left the shop to Toki and Kasumigaoka Utaha, while Toki and Utaha Kasumigaoka went out.

Their destination was still the bookstore.

This morning, Kasumigaoka Utaha received a message from Machida Sonoko: the decision to cancel the project has been reversed!

The sudden surge in sales, which may even require additional printings, means that the publisher would be a fool to cut the print run in half.

The message was actually sent by Machida Sonoko to Kasumigaoka Utaha late last night, along with two missed calls.

Machida Sonoko had high hopes for Kasumigaoka Utaha's novel and didn't want it to be canceled, but she was just an ordinary editor and there was nothing she could do.

If I hadn't suddenly decided to check the sales figures...

The data was enough for her to make a decision directly, and she was so excited that she wanted to call Kasumigaoka Utaha to inform her, but no one answered, so she had to send a message.

When Kasumigaoka Utaha woke up, she saw the message and immediately called Machida Sonoko to confirm.

That's why she couldn't help but come to find Shichen early in the morning; she knew without even thinking that Shichen was the one who did it.

This is also why she was in a good mood early in the morning and even wanted to touch her face.

Throughout the journey, Kasumigaoka Utaha was in an exceptionally good mood, walking briskly with a faint smile on her face. Anyone who didn't know her would think she was happy because of her date.

However, the two did indeed look like they were on a date. Toki was not wearing the store manager's uniform, and Kasumigaoka Utaha was also in casual clothes. The two of them together were no different from a young couple on a date.

Unfortunately, the two went to a bookstore that had little to do with couples.

Today's bookstore was completely different from their previous visits. The entrance was packed with people, bustling with activity, and everyone was holding novels, all of them the same. Some people were even holding two books, and some had already started reading.

The novel covers they were holding were familiar to both Shiki and Kasumigaoka Utaha; they were Kasumigaoka Utaha's novels.

"Thanks to the recommendation of 'Heavy Gunner Under the Stars,' otherwise I wouldn't have been able to read such a good novel."

"Exactly, I'm mainly affected by the recent novels with their simple and blunt titles. I don't appreciate good titles anymore. Luckily, I didn't miss out."

"We almost had such a good novel canceled. It was our fault back then."

"Such excellent writing! I'm a fan of Xia Shizi's books from now on!"

"I heard that Xia Shizi is a woman."

"Then I like it even more."

"I don't know if it will look good."

Why care about the author when you're reading a novel? As long as the novel is good, that's all that matters.

"Too......"

The conversations of the people around them reached their ears. In a scene completely different from before, Kasumigaoka Utaha could not hide her joy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

Seeing her overjoyed expression, Shi Chen smiled along with her.

"Would you like to go in and take a look?"

“It’s no longer needed.” Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head.

"Really? Now you're motivated to write a novel, huh?" Shi Chen teased.

“I’ve got it, and Editor Machida wants me to finish writing the second volume as soon as possible.” Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded, her gaze still fixed on the bustling entrance of the bookstore.

"So urgent?"

She said she wanted to capitalize on the current trend.

"She's an editor, and she's been really nice to you. Trust her."

"Um... By the way, how did you do that?" Kasumigaoka Utaha finally couldn't help but ask.

"What? How did you do that?" Shi Chen feigned ignorance.

"Stop it!" Kasumigaoka Utaha playfully punched him.

"Haha, actually I didn't do anything special, I just let more people discover your novel."

"Discover?"

"Didn't I tell you? Your novel is very good. As long as someone reads it, they will definitely like it. But because you are a newcomer, many people are deterred. Unless you are a fan of novels or have a favorite genre, it is difficult for you to immediately read a novel written by a newcomer."

"Is that so?" Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't quite understand.

She hadn't read many novels before and didn't know much about the industry. She started writing novels out of interest, but it wasn't until her first reader recognized her talent that she truly fell in love with the genre.

"That's mostly how it is, but you don't need to worry about it anymore."
