Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

"It's not some amazing trick."

"No, this is something only you can do at the right time." Crusch had obtained a lot of information, including the situation where the masses could not be moved.

Keep the masses engaged and let them face the situation directly; what they see with their own eyes is always more valuable than what they hear.

But Crusch couldn't think of anyone who could hold so many people at bay without resorting to overt military threats.

"It's just a little trick," Shi Chen said modestly.

"Shichen, you are indeed very powerful." Crusch looked at Shichen with visible greed.

This woman's thieving desires are growing stronger; perhaps she has finally figured out what she wants.

"Speaking of which, I just remembered something," Shi Chen said suddenly, holding Esther.

Originally, Shichen and Esther were playing Connect Four in their room when Crusch came over to confirm the news.

Rem isn't here; she's eating and making apple pie right now.

If she were there, who knows what she might do to Shichen in front of Crusch.

She's quite hostile towards Crusch.

"What?" Crusch asked.

"Given your current attitude towards me, I recall that during the royal selection period, it wasn't appropriate, was it?"

By popular decision, it was decreed that candidates were prohibited from marrying during the selection process prior to the royal marriage ceremony.

This is to prevent the expansion of factions through marriage.

All five candidates are currently single, with Priscilla being a special case.

"No, it just means we can't get married, it doesn't say we can't date." Crusch shook her head.

"Dating? Well, I can't date multiple people, can I?"

"Can't I?" Crusch asked, bewildered.

"I'm afraid I'm going to be cursed to death..."

Although I don't mind the time.

"Oh, I see. That's troublesome."

"Trouble? Haven't you considered the possibility of failure?"

“No, I believe Lady Beatrice’s words,” Crusch said firmly.

"Betty, it's all your fault." Shi Chen glanced at Betty and said reproachfully.

"I was just stating the facts," Betty refused to admit she was wrong.

"Is it really true?" Crusch was even more certain.

"..." Shi Chen could only shake his head helplessly.

“By the way, Crusch, I have something to remind you of,” Betty suddenly said.

"What is it, Lady Beatrice?"

"Although you are not yet Shichen's woman, I have to tell you something: he is very possessive."

Are you very possessive?

"You don't seem to understand. Right now, you should have a lot of people coming to propose marriage, right?"

"Yes......"

Crusch is already twenty years old. At this age, it's not surprising that she's getting married, but her identity is a little complicated.

Being both a duke and a woman makes it easy for men to back down.

Although few, they did exist, and now there are even more.

Because Crusch is now a candidate for the throne, her status is equivalent to rising from a duke to the central government, so those who were previously uninterested in proposing marriage will now take action for this reason.

"Lady Beatrice, do you mean... Toki no Tatsumi doesn't like this kind of scene?" Crusch belatedly realized.

"That's all I have to say. Figure it out for yourself." Betty refocused her attention on the chessboard.

They almost lost to Esther.

That won't do. With her intelligence, how can we lose to her?

"I see, I understand." Crusch nodded knowingly.

"What have you figured out?" Shi Chen couldn't help but ask.

"Shichen, from now on, I will reject all marriage proposals and announce that I already have someone I love."

"Isn't it necessary?"

“It’s necessary; it represents my determination,” Crusch said earnestly.

"..."

That evening, Shichen drank with Crusch and Phyllis for a while, but they didn't talk about anything.

The next day, Shichen returned with Emilia and the others.

Chapter 524 Dear?

The dragon carriage was driven back by Rotswaal, so Shichen used spatial teleportation to take Emilia and the others back to the mansion.

We're all on the same side, so there's no need to hide my abilities anymore. Besides, only Rem doesn't know.

"They got back to the mansion in no time! As expected of Shichen! Amazing! Rem is so impressed!"

"Is that so~"

Enjoying Rem's sincere and innocent praise, Shichen couldn't help but smile.

"Since you have this spatial teleportation ability, can we return to Crusch's mansion at any time?" Emilia asked curiously.

"Of course you can. If you want to see her, I can take you there anytime."

"No... I have no reason to want to see her, do I?"

"You actually dumped him after you finished learning? Emilia, you're such a scumbag."

"What scumbag woman? Shi Chen, you're talking nonsense again," Emilia said with dissatisfaction.

"It's true."

"Really..."

"Hey, can you guys be more aware of your surroundings? There are other people here." A sudden voice rang out; it was a voice Shi Chen and the others recognized.

"Sister, we're back." Rem greeted the owner of the voice first.

Now that they were back at Rotswald's mansion, the only one left to speak was Ram.

The location was the kitchen of the mansion. Shichen sensed Ram's presence and teleported here specifically.

"Ram, it's been a long time!" Shichen waved to Ram.

"Lady Emilia, Lady Beatrice, Rem, Esther, welcome back. There's still time..."

Rem bowed and greeted Emilia and the others, then looked at the time, resumed her standing posture, and spoke in a calm tone.

"Am I just an afterthought?" Shi Chen was provoked by her attitude and asked with dissatisfaction.

"Hmph~ Who told you to take Rem out for so long? I don't even know if you did anything naughty to Rem."

"How could..."

"Um..." Rem squirmed shyly, her chubby little face flushed red, as if she were admitting her mistake.

"What? Rem, what really happened to you?" Ram exclaimed in shock.

"N-no, no~" Rem said without any credibility.

"Damn it! What did you do to Rem? Did you do something to her beautiful body?" Ram asked angrily.

"Uh......"

He hadn't thought much of the time at first, but when Rem showed her shyness, he realized that kissing Rem and feeling her heartbeat was indeed a naughty thing to do.

He just treated it as an ordinary thing.

"Ram, what do you mean by this and that?" Emilia tilted her head and asked in confusion.

Her eyes couldn't help but fall on the shy Rem, not understanding why she was shy.

What can Rem do with the time?

"Lady Emilia, were you not harmed by the time?" Ram asked cautiously.

"Why are you being asked about the time of day... um..."

Emilia's mind was suddenly filled with the scene of being embraced by Shichen, a memory that made her both unable to stop thinking about it and feel shy.

I dreamt about the same scene every night.

So, did Rem also embrace the hour?

Emilia, lacking in knowledge, could only connect the possible events involving Rem and Toki to her own past experiences.

"What? Lady Emilia, did this guy do something bad to you too?" Ram was shocked again.

"Hey, hey, hey, I didn't do anything bad to Emilia," Shichen hurriedly explained, full of confidence.

"Then why is Lady Emilia shy? You beast, not only to my sister, but also to Lady Emilia..."

"Even beasts are screaming..." Shi Chen's lips twitched.

"That's right! My lovely little sister, the pure Emilia-sama, has been defiled by you... Ouch!"

"I'll teach you to talk nonsense." Shi Chen tapped Ram on the head.

"Damn it, are you getting angry out of embarrassment? I won't give in!" Ram covered his head, his face resolute.

Those who didn't know the situation might have thought that Shi Chen had done something humiliating to her.

"...Rem, you should control your sister." Shichen ignored her.
