Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

"Really? Your charm is indeed great."

"That......"

"But why do you feel that I am following you, rather than you following me?"

Shichen suddenly stood up, leaned down, got close to Crusch, and reached out to lift her chin.

An arrogant aura swept over her, as if it were sacred and inviolable, exuding supreme sharpness, ready to conquer her heart.

Crusch then understood why Betty had said she would become his woman.

Chapter 520 Crusch Steals the Job

"Having ideas is a good thing, but some things are better left unsaid than thought."

Shichen lifted Crusch's chin, leaned forward, and almost touched her face; the distance between their noses was only the thickness of a finger.

Crusch could feel the breath of time hitting her face. Such close contact with the opposite sex didn't make her shy; instead, she remained frozen in place.

She was stunned by Shi Chen's imposing aura.

She felt as if she were facing several incredible and oppressive auras.

There is holiness, purity, abyss, profundity, dominance... and indescribable mystery, as if you are in different spaces and have experienced the baptism of time.

In essence, all of this was like a series of imposing and surging giant beasts staring at her, pressing down on her and making it hard for her to breathe.

"Time, you..."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, but you should still give up on the idea." Shichen smiled at the stunned Crusch, released her chin, and sat back down.

"call--"

The oppressive atmosphere vanished completely, and Crusch unconsciously let out a long sigh of relief.

She had just thought she was about to die.

Is this the real terror of this man?

No wonder he said that the previous ability was just a trick, and it was not even in the same league as what she had just experienced.

Because she hadn't sensed any hostility just now and was still unable to breathe, but in the throne room, the indiscriminate, faint hostility was still quite obvious.

Is it really that powerless just because of sheer aura?

I still... want it!

Crusch was willing to grant Wilhelm's request to help him defeat the extremely dangerous white whale, not to mention the time when everything else could be ignored.

The power of time is absolutely necessary for the reform of this country, and with his power, she firmly believes that anything is possible.

Otherwise, none of this can be done.

It's a very simple logic. She and Emilia are enemies. If she doesn't get the power of time, she will eventually become his enemy. Faced with his power, she doesn't think she has a chance to fulfill her wish.

So that's why she will become Shichen's woman in the future, rather than Shichen becoming her.

At this moment, Crusch finally understood the true meaning of what Betty had said.

"Then why did you agree to become Emilia's knight?" Crusch took a deep breath, trying to remain calm.

"Is there a problem?" Shi Chen asked with a smile, taking another sip of wine.

It has a rich, mellow flavor and a smooth texture; it's more like a nutrient solution than a wine.

"You wouldn't want to be anyone's follower, would you? Then why did you become Emilia's knight?" Crusch asked directly.

"These two don't seem to conflict?"

"What do you mean?"

“I became Emilia’s knight not as her follower, but as a pillar of support to protect her. Emilia and I are not in a master-servant relationship,” Shichen explained.

“So that’s how it is…” Crusch said in realization.

"In this world, there is no one who can make me her follower," Shi Chen emphasized proudly.

“I understand… but we can have this kind of relationship too.” Crusch stared intently at him.

"No." Shi Chen shook his head.

"why?"

"Have you forgotten why I became Emilia's knight?"

Do you like her...?

Crusch doesn't understand the feelings of love; she hasn't experienced it yet. But she knows that if you like someone, you will do anything for them.

"But didn't you say I'm also very charming? Then you..."

Crusch continued speaking, but was interrupted by Tokichi raising his hand.

"You are indeed very charming, but not as charming as Emilia. I was the one who fell in love with her first."

"Falling in love first... what if we met first..."

"There's no need to overthink this, but do you want me to fall in love with you?" Shi Chen looked her over.

“Yes! I want to be your partner!” Crusch nodded solemnly.

"Why? We just met, didn't we? It can't be because of what Betty said, can it?"

"There might be a reason, but I've found that you are the most suitable person to be my partner."

Even if I have someone else in my heart?

"It's okay, I won't restrict your feelings, even if there are other women..."

"Hehe~" Shi Chen suddenly laughed.

"why are you laughing?"

"Cursch, you've made another mistake."

"what?"

"It's not that you're restricting my feelings, but that no one can restrict my feelings. Who I like isn't decided by outsiders, nor can anyone decide it."

"I..." Crusch opened her mouth, unable to refute.

"Heh~ The wine is good. Invite me again sometime." Shi Chen finished the rest of the wine in one gulp, then stood up.

"If you want me to fall in love with you, then work hard and make yourself even more dazzling."

After saying that, Shichen left.

Crusch remained seated, watching the time slowly pass before leaving.

"To make myself... shine even brighter?" Crusch murmured to herself.

She understood what Shichen meant. He didn't dislike her as she was now, but she wasn't likable enough for him yet.

She needs to be more attractive.

Thinking of this, she smiled.

She didn't fall in love with him either.

Since he's made her even more dazzling, he should also demonstrate even greater strength.

"Oh~ Lady Crusch, you seem very happy." At that moment, Phyllis, who had finished her bath, came over.

"Phyllis, you've come at the right time. Have a couple more drinks with me."

“Of course, no problem, but you seem to be in a very good mood.” Phyllis sat down at the designated spot for the hour.

"Can you tell?" Crusch asked with a smile as she poured him a drink.

"You can't stop smiling, is it because you were drinking with Shi Chen just now?" Phyllis had naturally met Shi Chen on her way here.

"almost."

"Ah! I'm jealous! I've never been this happy drinking with you!"

"Hehe~ Is that so?"

"Of course!"

"Are you still going to drink with me or not?"

"accompany......"

The next day, after breakfast, Emilia asked Crusch for advice.

Crusch readily agreed.

Shichen didn't tattle to Emilia that Kur was trying to steal her boyfriend; there was no need, since she couldn't steal him anyway.

He didn't disturb the two of them, but instead continued to play with Rem and the others.

After all, I won't be leaving here for the time being, so I'll just be idling around anyway.

Two more days passed, and the following morning, Shichen planned to take Emilia to the royal capital.

"When do we go back?" Emilia suddenly asked on the way.

"What, are you tired of staying here?"

"It's not that we're tired of staying here, it's just that it's not good for us to keep bothering Crusch..."

"So that's how it is. You used them and then thought of abandoning them, right?" Shi Chen teased.

"Ugh, you know perfectly well that's not what I meant." Emilia glared at Shichen with displeasure.

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding. You can go back tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Emilia was taken aback.

"Well, if we resolve this today, we won't need to stay in the capital."

"Resolve the matter... What are you planning to do at this hour?" Emilia asked curiously.

"The royal selection has begun. Don't you want to see the reaction of the people in the capital?"

"Is this why you stayed at the Crusch mansion?" Emilia suddenly realized.
