Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

Even though he is not young.

"Shichen, I'm sorry you had to see this." Crusch then looked at Shichen, though she said this without showing any shame.

"Haa~ What's this about making a joke?" Shi Chen yawned, sat up and asked back.

Rem opened her mouth but didn't speak, though the reluctance on her face was clearly visible.

"Don't you think women are unsuitable for wielding swords?"

"Who told you?"

"Sorry, I was just kidding. I've been told that since I was a child, and I'm used to it. People say things like, 'The daughter of the Karlsten family,' 'A weak woman who is obsessed with swordsmanship, preferring to break her own arm rather than admire flowers,' and 'When talking about the Duke's family, you can't help but mention that idiot...'"

"Didn't you call?" Shi Chen asked.

"Call them?" Crusch was taken aback.

"Since they say you're a weak woman, why don't you show them who's weak?"

“Toki, your idea… is quite unexpected.” Crusch’s eyes lit up.

"That's normal, isn't it? I don't think there's anything wrong with girls wielding swords. On the contrary, I think it's cool and captivating. Crusch, your posture just now was dazzling."

"Is that so... Thank you for the compliment..." Crusch was a little embarrassed; it was the first time someone had praised her for her dazzling swordsmanship.

Although Phyllis often praised her, she had taken it for granted, and Phyllis was just blindly praising her out of affection for her.

"Don't feel embarrassed. Trust your own choices and your own preferences. The opinions of others are meaningless."

“Toki, you really are an incredible person, just as Phyllis said,” Crusch laughed.

"Don't worry, I've always done it this way."

"I believe you." Shi Chen nodded.

"Trust me?" Crusch looked at him in surprise.

"Isn't this normal? After hearing what you said in the hall, I knew how strong your will was."

To dare to openly declare that he would replace the Dragon God whom the kingdom has always trusted—this conviction and courage are truly admirable.

"Shichen, if only I had met you sooner," Crusch couldn't help but sigh.

She felt that if she had known the time of day from a young age, her life might have been much better.

After all, she felt that Shichen was like a confidant to her.

“It’s not too late now, and you’ve always had Phyllis’s support, haven’t you?” Shi Chen smiled.

“That’s true…” Crusch laughed along.

"I'll take my leave now," Wilhelm suddenly interrupted, and then left without looking back.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wilhelm, he..."

"I know," Shi Chen waved his hand dismissively.

Wilhelm had already told Tokichi and the others about his plan to hunt down the white whale, even though he already knew.

The reason was simple yet very important: his wife was killed by the white whale. He loved his wife deeply and was determined to avenge her. He searched everywhere for the white whale's whereabouts, and only Crusch agreed to his request.

After all, beluga whales are extremely difficult to find, and they are very powerful, so very few people dare to take action against them, and they are also hard to find.

Pretending to agree to Wilhelm's request to gain his service would be useless; it's impossible to fool him.

"It shouldn't be long before the old man's wish comes true," Shi Chen said softly, watching Wilhelm's retreating figure.

"Eh? What do you mean, Tokimatsu?" Crusch naturally heard his words and immediately became excited.

"It's just a gut feeling, but my gut feeling is usually right. It shouldn't take long."

"Intuition?" Crusch had no doubt.

Judging from his ability to form contracts with two great elves, his intuition definitely possesses a certain degree of prophetic ability.

Therefore, his intuition is highly credible.

But in this case...

"Um, the time..." Crusch suddenly became hesitant.

"what happened?"

"At noon, what Lady Beatrice said..."

"What Betty said... uh, she was just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously." Shi Chen twitched the corner of his mouth.

Crusch was referring to Betty's statement that she would be his woman in the future.

If anyone else had said this, she would have absolutely no objection, but Betty was a great elf, and her words carried a high degree of credibility. She spoke so matter-of-factly, it didn't sound like she was just spouting nonsense.

She herself has never considered marriage, having long since abandoned the idea of ​​choosing a partner herself and left it to her family to select a marriage partner for her.

But if it's about the time of day, she suddenly felt that it seemed quite appropriate.

Given the immense strength Shi Chen displayed, and the fact that he was a contractor for two great elves, he was an excellent marriage prospect.

The only pity is that he is already Emilia's knight and clearly likes her. Priscilla is also very interested in him and seems determined to win him over.

The competition is fierce.

But someone like that is more worthy of her.

She wasn't sure if it was Betty's comment that led her to this thought, or if she was genuinely interested in the time, but she wasn't opposed to it.

Perhaps it's the same kind of relationship as the conversation we just had.

Few people can truly accept her; most people only admire her because of her social status and position.

But the time of day is indeed one's true thoughts.

Having someone like that as a companion would be incredibly comfortable.

"Why are you so quick to deny it, Toki? Is it because you don't think I look like a woman?" Crusch couldn't help but ask.

“How could that be? Crusch, you are very charming, even now you are very attractive.” Toki immediately retorted.

"I'm sorry for what I'm doing... I'd better go take a bath first."

Crusch then realized that she was drenched in sweat and looked rather improper, so she turned around and left.

"This is really...it's all Betty's fault." Shi Chen shook his head helplessly.

"Hmph~ You seem quite happy, Toki." Rem's displeased voice rang out.

"No way." Shichen turned around and looked at Rem's jealous expression, finding it amusing.

"Really? Lady Crusch seems to care a lot about you, Tokimatsu."

"So what? I care more about Rem."

"R-Really?" Rem blinked happily.

"Don't you believe me?" Shichen stroked Rem's face and slowly moved closer.

"Of course Rem believes in the timing, but could you give Rem more compelling proof?" Rem asked softly, pursing her lips.

What kind of proof do you want?

“If you care more about Rem, then…” Rem said, closing her eyes, tilting her chin up, and pouting slightly.

The meaning is quite clear.

Shichen had no idea that Rem knew this trick, even asking for a kiss, but he had no reason to refuse.

He stepped forward, almost touching Rem, then lowered his head, cupped her face, and kissed her pink lips.

Suddenly, Rem opened her arms and hugged Tokichi, standing on her tiptoes.

"Well......"

Chapter 518 Things That Are Not Suitable to Say Now

"Well......"

Without any outside interference, and having not tasted success for a long time, Shichen became somewhat carried away and took it a step further.

It was only at this moment that Shichen realized that Rem's maid outfit was of really good quality, with a particularly silky and soft material.

After a long while, Rem, who had never experienced anything like this before, couldn't breathe, and Tokishima released her.

"Hu-hu-"

Rem breathed heavily, her petite face flushed, her eyes moist, and her cherry-colored lips glistening.

When she calmed down a bit, she raised her little head, looked at Shichen with a blurry expression, and whispered reproachfully, "Shichen, you..."

"Ahem, I couldn't help myself." At this point, Shi Chen couldn't refute it anymore, but he still didn't withdraw his hand.

"Then, do you still want the time?" Rem asked in a seductive tone.

"...Now is not the time, and besides, this is someone else's house." Shi Chen flexed his fingers, but still refused.

"Hmm... nobody's here." Rem murmured.

"Rem, you... aren't you excited?" Tokishi looked at Rem strangely and noticed that her expression was a little off.

It wasn't just the flush from a kiss, but also a flush of excitement, not the excitement of intimacy.

"Excited? Yes, Rem is very excited. Tokiomi, you finally made a move against me." Rem nodded in acknowledgment.

"...Are you sure it's not because it's someone else's house?"

"N-No, that's not true!" Rem suddenly denied hastily.

"Are you even jealous of Crusch? There's nothing between me and her." Tokichi saw through Rem's thoughts.

She got excited because she was being intimate with him on Crusch's territory.

Thankfully, it's not just about getting intimate and excited in other people's places; otherwise, that would be a strange fetish.

"Rem isn't jealous at all!"

"Alright, that's enough. Do you still need to be jealous of her? There'll be plenty of time later." Shichen patted Rem's head to comfort her.

"There'll be plenty of time later? So, could Rem do something for you regarding the time?"
