Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

"This... you mustn't be too impulsive."

"Great!"

"..."

Seeing Rem jump up excitedly, Shichen wondered if she might lose control and thought about taking advantage of him.

He just hoped she wouldn't be so reckless.

After leaving the courtyard and returning to their rooms, Toki and Rem parted ways.

Rem went to the kitchen, completely satisfied.

Although she was a guest, she still wanted to make some snacks for Shichen herself, and she would even pay for them.

This is something Rem wants to do herself, and Tokisuke won't stop her. Besides, there's really no need to be polite at Crusch's house, since they need his help right now.

Shichen then arrived at Emilia's room.

As expected, Emilia was a good girl, diligently reading and studying. Shichen watched her from the doorway for a while but didn't notice any sign of her slacking off.

It's a pity that Emilia isn't quite suited to stopping learning.

If it were someone else, the timing would be disrupted.

Why study so hard?

When it was Emilia's turn, she gently patted her shoulder.

"Shichen? What brings you here?" Emilia looked at Shichen, drawn to his attention, and asked with a smile.

"Let me see you."

Shi Chen glanced at Emilia's study materials; they were full of words and didn't even have a single picture, so he decided not to look at them anymore.

"Look at me?" Emilia blinked.

"You've been studying in your room since lunch, and you haven't come out yet. Aren't you bored?"

"No, I need to hurry up and study to catch up with the others."

She was naturally referring to the other candidates for king.

“We’re here as guests of the Crusch family, there’s no need for us to work so hard at a time like this.” Shichen rubbed her head.

Emilia glanced at his hands, smiled, and said, "But I can't find anything to do either."

"You could talk to Crusch more to get to know her better. Aren't you trying to catch up with them? You could try learning from her."

"This idea seems pretty good!"

Emilia's eyes lit up, but then she hesitated: "But, won't this bother her?"

As the head of the Karlsten family, Kursh had a lot to deal with, and he probably didn't have any free time at the end of the day.

Not only her, but Phyllis was also very busy and left the mansion in the afternoon.

Phyllis is the most skilled and youngest healer, and also a member of the Royal Guard Knights, so she is in charge of the healing work.

Many people seek her treatment.

"What does it matter? She's already troubled us, why can't you trouble her? I'm sure she'd be happy to answer your question."

The timeline didn't specify the reward for helping them defeat the white whale, but Crusch, being a proud noblewoman, wouldn't accept it for free.

Emilia's challenge was exactly what she wanted to see.

"Is it really possible?" Emilia still hesitated.

“If you’re just joking about being a candidate for king, then you can pretend I didn’t say anything.”

"Honestly, Shichen, you're so mean. You know I'm serious, yet you still say that." Emilia pouted in dissatisfaction.

She looked kind of cute, which made Shi Chen laugh: "Well, there's nothing I can do about it. Don't say that. You definitely won't make up your mind."

"I understand. I'm not the kind of person who only cares about others. I will do my best to get what I want."

"That's more like it." Shi Chen rubbed her head in praise.

"Shichen, do you... really like patting heads?" Emilia suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Who made your hair so beautiful? And so silky and cool."

"Hair...aren't they all the same?"

"That's true, but what if I prefer patting your head?"

"Hmm... even other people's hair is silver?"

"Don't worry, I like your silver hair, not other people's silver hair."

"I understand..." Emilia lowered her head, her face gradually turning red, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

"Alright, you can continue studying now. I won't bother you any longer."

"that......"

Just as the time was about to end, Emilia suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

"What's wrong?" Shi Chen looked at her in confusion.

"I... um... right, should I go find Crusch now to ask him some questions?" Emilia quickly changed the subject.

"Curly should still be taking a bath. Wait a little longer."

"A bath? How did you know?" Emilia couldn't help but ask.

"Wasn't she just practicing swordsmanship with Mr. Wilhelm? Of course she needs to take a shower after sweating."

"Oh, I see." Emilia seemed a little embarrassed.

"Hehe~ Are you jealous?" Shi Chen asked, amused.

"Jealous...?" Emilia tilted her head in confusion.

"...That's right, it's because I have good relationships with other women that you care about me."

"Is this jealousy? I... I didn't even notice..." Emilia's gaze darted around, too embarrassed to check the time.

"Why are you acting all haughty?"

"Tsundere? Shi Chen always uses strange words."

"Never mind that, let's get straight to the point. What exactly were you trying to say to me?"

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you, Shichen."

"You are too easy to understand."

"Hmm... never mind, I don't plan to talk about it here."

"You're not planning to say it here?"

"Okay! I'll talk to Shichen about it when we get back," Emilia nodded earnestly.

"Really? That's fine too." Shi Chen didn't mind.

"Then I'll go play with Betty and the others."

"it is good."

After leaving Emilia's room, Shichen returned to his own room and played Go with the two little girls.

Meanwhile, Rem also brought over some of the snacks she had made.

The afternoon passed quickly.

Phyllis did not return at dinner time, and Crusch, who was handling office work, arrived late.

They had already started eating by now.

Crusch had told the servants that since they were here, they should treat her the same way they would treat her.

They weren't sure how long Crusch would be busy, so they ate first.

After they finished eating dinner, they left, leaving Crusch to eat dinner alone.

She still has work to do, so Shichen and the others don't need to accompany her.

Rem also learned Gomoku (Five in a Row), and back in her room, they paired up and continued playing.

Shichen and Rem are in the same group.

With two heads working together to fill in the gaps and make up for each other's mistakes, a game of Gomoku went on for quite a while, and the board was almost covered with black and white pieces.

Before he knew it, it was late at night. He told the three of them to continue playing while he went to take a bath.

Rem wanted to come too, but he refused.

Now that Rem is in the same bathroom with him, he can't control himself anymore, but this is someone else's turf, so it's a bit inappropriate.

Moreover, if Rem comes, Esther and Betty will definitely follow, making the scene even more inappropriate in someone else's bathroom.

At this time, there was no one in the bathroom. Without any hesitation, Shichen took off his clothes, entered the bath, sat inside, and began to enjoy himself.

The Crusch family's bathroom was a bit grander and more luxurious than the Rothwaal family's, but Shichen wasn't interested in those things.

After soaking for a while, I felt it was about time to leave.

Outside, footsteps could be heard.

The sound of pattering clearly indicated that they were barefoot.

Chapter 519 My heart seems to be conquered

The footsteps grew closer and closer, showing no sign of stopping.

Shichen's clothes are left outside.

The other person could definitely see him, but still came in, which means either they didn't care that he was there, or they came specifically for him.

There are only three or four people left in this mansion, but at this point in time, Rem is the most likely candidate.

They actually came. Were they really that proactive?

He didn't even need to sense the aura to know it was Rem, but when he turned around and saw who it was, he was stunned.
