Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

To Shichen's surprise, the two did not react in any particular way, and Nishiki Chizuka even expressed her welcome.

She handed the work over to Toki and ran upstairs to find Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Shichen was very happy about this; family harmony was more important than anything else. However, he still needed a little more time to be honest with Kasumigaoka Utaha.

By noon, the shop was bustling with activity, and Kasumigaoka Utaha, having tidied up the room, came down to help with the work.

She took Shichen's place, while Shichen served dishes alongside Nishiki Chizuka.

Working together as a team makes the work easier, and Chisatsuki seems to be even more motivated now.

After the busy midday period ended, Shichen and the others also had lunch.

For Kasumigaoka Utaha's first lunch after joining the group, Tohru didn't target her and even prepared a delicious meal to welcome her.

"So lavish?" Kasumigaoka Utaha entered the kitchen and saw the lunch laid out on the table. She looked at Tohru in surprise and sat down next to her.

"Don't misunderstand, I prepared this for Lord Chen." Thor didn't look at him.

"Hehe~ Let's just take it that way."

"Humph~"

"Brother Chen, please sit down." Jinmu Qian Shu happily pulled Shi Chen to sit down opposite the two of them.

After taking his seat, Shichen picked up his juice, raised it, and said with a smile, "How about a toast to Shiyu's arrival?"

"Shouldn't we drink?" Thor asked.

“We’re not even adults yet,” Kasumigaoka Utaha retorted.

"Hehe~ Cheers!" Nishiki Chizuka finally raised her juice glass.

Hey~

Chapter 32 Sleeping Together or Sleeping Alone

After lunch, Kasumigaoka Utaha began writing her novel.

There were fewer customers in the afternoon, so Shichen idly played on his phone behind the cashier to pass the time.

He wanted to try to find someone he knew online. These days, the internet is really convenient; all sorts of people can appear on it.

All you need are keywords.

His acquaintances are all quite prominent people, so someone might have taken a picture of him and posted it online.

Tohru and Chizuka Nishiki were studying a new recipe. The two were very interested in cooking, especially after seeing the time and the satisfied smiles on their faces after tasting it.

The afternoon passed quickly. After having dinner together, they cleaned the kitchen, closed the shop, and went upstairs. Shichen followed behind the three of them and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Today is different from before; Kasumigaoka Utaha is here, so things can't be the same as usual.

I wonder what Tohru and Chizuka Nishiki will do... Thinking of this, I couldn't help but slow down my pace.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Tohru went up to the second floor first, and then when they turned around, they saw Tokichi, who had only gone up a few steps.

"What are you doing?" she asked curiously.

"I think I'm done closing the door. You guys go take a shower first," Shi Chen said, turning to leave.

“It’s off. Didn’t I watch you turn it off?” Kasumigaoka Utaha said.

"Really? I'd better go check it out to put my mind at ease."

"Whatever." Kasumigaoka Utaha ignored him.

Although she felt that the time was a little off, she didn't pay much attention to it.

However, when she arrived at her room, she discovered that Tohru and Nishiki Chizuka had already entered Shichen's room.

She arrived at the door of Shichen's room and saw the two of them rummaging through the wardrobe.

"What are you two doing?"

"Get your clothes? Don't you change into your pajamas to sleep at night?" Thor turned around and asked.

"Of course I wear pajamas to bed too, but why were you two looking for clothes in Chen's room?" Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned. She had already thought of something, but she didn't follow her train of thought at the moment.

"What else could it be?" Nishiki Chizuki took out the pajamas and looked at her with a smile: "Of course, our pajamas are here."

"But... isn't this Chen's room?"

"Any questions?"

"Shouldn't you keep your clothes in your own rooms?"

“But we sleep here too.” Nishiki Chizuka winked at her.

Kasumigaoka Utaha wasn't surprised by the answer. She asked with a smirk, "...So you two sleep with Tatsumi every day?"

“Yes.” Nishiki Chizuka nodded with a smile.

"The two of you?"

"Isn't one on each side just right? Are we supposed to take turns keeping Brother Chen company?"

"...Was it like this from the beginning?"

"Hehe~" Nishiki Chizuka laughed shyly.

"Thor, you actually agreed?"

"What's the big deal? I can't sleep on the other side anyway, so it's just empty."

"..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's lips twitched; she wondered if she had misheard.

What kind of outrageous statement is this?

Would a normal girl say something like that?

Don't you like Chen?

What about your possessiveness?

Is the other side something you can just give way to?

"How did you become like this?" Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but ask.

"What's wrong with me?" Thor tilted his head in confusion.

"You were so wary of me before, why are you so generous to Chizuka?"

"It's probably a case of feelings developing over time."

"?"

"Qian Shu is right, the most important thing is that Lord Chen is happy."

"You still say you didn't brainwash Tohru?" Kasumigaoka Utaha asked Nishiki Chizuka.

"There wasn't one to begin with. Didn't I tell you before? Don't be so narrow-minded."

"...So this is what you mean. But is this a matter of being narrow-minded? Are you two out of your minds? Did Chen do something to you?"

"Tch~ We'd love to see what Brother Chen does to us, but he just won't do anything." Jinmu Qianshu pouted and replied with dissatisfaction.

"He didn't do anything?" Kasumigaoka Utaha blinked, somewhat surprised.

"So you two haven't done anything but sleep together these past few days?"

"That's not it!"

"This guy... is he for real? He doesn't seem like it. Could he have some kind of health problem?"

"You're the one with health problems!" Shichen suddenly appeared behind Kasumigaoka Utaha and patted her on the head.

"When did you come up?" Kasumigaoka Utaha hadn't noticed him coming up at all.

"While you're pressing me for details," Shi Chen rolled his eyes at her and pushed her into the room.

"Why are you blocking the doorway?"

"Why did you push me in here? You don't want me to sleep with you too, do you?" Kasumigaoka Utaha took a step back from Tokimitsu, staring at him warily.

"I'm not a casual girl."

“Shiyu, we’re not just any girls. We only took the initiative because of Brother Chen,” Jinmu Qianshu emphasized.

“Yes, yes, I don’t care about anyone except Lord Chen,” Thor added.

"...You two are pretty quick to pledge your loyalty." Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around. Go wash up and go to bed. Aren't you tired after a long day?" Shi Chen asked.

He had originally planned to come up a little later, but when he suddenly heard that Kasumigaoka Utaha's tone seemed less unhappy, he seized the opportunity to join the conversation.

Come to think of it, he's upright and has nothing to fear. He hasn't done anything inappropriate for children, he's been well-behaved, and he wasn't even doing it voluntarily, so what's there to be afraid of?

I'm already worried since it's only just begun. What will happen when there are even more people?

Be tougher!

"Sleep? How do you want to sleep? Do I have to sleep with you too?" Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms and glanced at him.

"It's not that bad. You can go back to your room and sleep. There's no rule here that you have to sleep with me."

"I'm going back? What about them?"

“Of course we’re the same as before,” Thor replied matter-of-factly.

"Mmm." Chizuka Nishiki nodded in agreement.

"No way!" Kasumigaoka Utaha rejected the idea without even thinking.

"Why?" Thor looked at her strangely.

"Why else? Do you think it's normal for the two of you to sleep with Chen?"

"What's the big deal? It's been going on for more than a day or two."

"...From now on, everyone go back to your own rooms and sleep!"
