Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

Chapter 636 Giving Away the Second Female Lead

After separating from Yozai Miku—no, it should be Yozai Miku now—the timeline returned to five years ago.

Instead of accompanying Origami Tobiichi or going to find Kotori Itsuka, he went to rescue Nia Honjou.

This was the time when Nia Honjo was captured. If Shishi hadn't saved her, she would have suffered inhuman treatment and been subjected to various experiments.

After all, she is an elf. Westcott has designs on the power of the Primal Elves, and studying Nia Honjou can yield a lot of information.

He's not the kind of man who shows mercy to women; if Nia Honjo were caught by him, it would be the darkest fate imaginable.

Without the time, Nia Honjo suffered inhuman torture and underwent the most desperate research, resulting in her having no memory of this period at all.

But just thinking about it caused her despair to reverse.

The term "spirit reversal" refers to the phenomenon where, when spirits fall into despair, their spiritual power becomes turbid, causing them to transform from their original angelic form into a demonic form.

That was the complete opposite, full of brutality and ruthlessness.

Although their power will be greatly enhanced after the reversal, and their abilities will far exceed those of normal, they will lose their rationality and consciousness, becoming violent and destructive.

Like monsters, they only know how to cause ruthless destruction; of course, they also possess the destructive power of monsters.

Shichen didn't really like their transformations; not only were their spirit costumes unattractive, but they also represented their despair.

Since he has met them and has the power to stop them from despairing, he certainly won't let them turn the tables.

Rescuing Nia Honjo was a simple matter; even though DEM's transportation was very secretive, Tokiji still found it easily.

And the escort was still Ellen.

Tokishi originally intended to take Honjou Nia away quietly, but he remembered that she was a manga artist who loved anime characters and plots.

And when she first met him, she called him a hero.

So Tokichi decided to make a dazzling appearance, like a hero, and take care of all the escorts, including Ellen, putting her into a coma, and then taking Nia Honjou away.

"A hero? Are you a hero? Did you come here specifically to save me?"

Holding Princess Toki, Honjou Nia wasn't shy at all; instead, she excitedly wrapped her arms around his neck and asked...

"More or less," Shi Chen nodded.

"What do you mean by 'almost'?" Honjou Nia pouted, a little dissatisfied.

If Shichen came specifically to save her, then it would prove that she is just like the female lead.

"Okay, I came here specifically to save you."

"Really?" Nia Honjo asked uncertainly again.

"...Really, I know your name, Erya."

"Oh~ You actually know my name, so it seems you really came here specifically to save me! Hehe~ You're my hero."

Honjou Nia was overjoyed, happily pressing her head against Tokichi's chest, her legs swinging involuntarily.

"Don't move, or you'll fall."

"Hehe~ Hero, you'll definitely protect me."

"Don't be naughty!" Shi Chen couldn't stand it anymore and slapped her pert bottom.

"Oh well, whatever, you can treat me like this, hero. Who told you to be my hero?" Honjou Nia replied nonchalantly.

"...Where do you live? I'll take you home first."

"Go back? Ugh, no way, I don't want to be pressured by editors to finish my work, it's torture..."

"That's your problem. I have other things to do. After I take you back, I have to leave."

"Hey? Hero, you're leaving already? You're not going to leave me behind?"

"Don't worry, we'll meet again someday. Can't you find me with your Ratziel?"

"Hero knows everything~ Alright, since you say so, hero, then let's meet again later. The female lead can't interfere with the hero's work."

"..."

"By the way, hero, could you tell me your name?"

"Time of day".

"Shichen? What a nice name, I'll remember it forever!" Nia Honjo leaned closer to Shichen and kissed him on the cheek.

"...Aren't you being a bit too forward?"

"There's nothing I can do; I've already decided you're a hero."

"Do you know what they call a 'freebie girl' in comics?"

"Then don't you like it?"

"As the person involved, of course I like it," Shi Chen replied righteously.

"That's fine then~ But after that, we'll have to wait until we meet~" Nia Honjou smiled slightly, her tone alluring.

......

After sending Honjo Nia home, Tokichi thought for a moment and decided to return to the present.

Most of the issues that needed to be resolved have been resolved; the only remaining issue is the connection between Tokisaki Kurumi and the initial spirit.

The past is already set in stone, and he plans to resolve things gradually, since there are still some spirits he hasn't encountered yet, and he needs to move things forward a bit.

Back to the present, it was still night. Shichen returned to his room, intending to sleep until dawn, when he discovered a splash of red on his bed.

She was curled up alone in bed, hugging his blanket, breathing evenly; she was clearly asleep.

Unlike usual, her bright red hair wasn't tied up with a hairband; it was simply draped over her shoulders, like a fiery lotus, spread out at the head of the bed.

She was petite with a youthful face, and strangers couldn't help but feel affection for her at first glance, let alone Shi Chen, a familiar person.

Approaching the bedside, Tokimitsu looked at Kotori Itsuka, who was sleeping soundly and completely unguarded, wearing only a red nightgown, and his eyes softened.

These past few days, she's been coming to him to sleep together. After all, he's finally become her brother, and her attachment has finally surfaced.

Due to work commitments, Haruko Itsuka and Tatsuo Itsuka had to travel abroad and couldn't be with her, so she had been living alone for the past few years.

It wasn't that the two of them didn't want to bring Kotori Itsuka along, but rather that she wanted to stay and wait for him to return.

If she were just an ordinary girl, it wouldn't matter, but she became an elf, possessing extraordinary power, and her encounter with time was still so incredible.

These things gave her the courage to stay behind alone.

Shi Chen felt very guilty towards her.

Without making a sound, Shichen took off his clothes, changed into his pajamas, got into bed, and gently held Itsuka Kotori in his arms, giving her a hug and warmth, and prepared to sleep together.

However, Kotori Itsuka was awakened.

“Brother…” Kotori Itsuka turned around, buried her head in his chest, and smelled his scent.

The bright sunshine captivated her.

"Sorry, did I wake you up?" Shi Chen asked softly.

“No…” Kotori Itsuka shook her head; she was not sleeping soundly.

"Then let's sleep together."

"Hmm... Did brother resolve the matter?"

"Well, it's solved."

"No problem?"

"Who is your brother? How could there be a problem?" Shi Chen asked with a smile.

"That's right, brother is the best!" Kotori Itsuka looked up, her smile proud.

"Okay, go to sleep." Shi Chen lowered his head and kissed her smooth forehead.

"I don't want to sleep yet..." Kotori Itsuka said.

"Anything on your mind?"

“I…I want my brother to take me,” Kotori Itsuka suddenly said, her gaze resolute.

"What... what are you saying all of a sudden?" Shi Chen frowned.

"I was serious!"

"Why so sudden?"

"Because my brother is already my brother, and I want to be with him forever!"

"We could have been together forever."

"no the same!"

"Are you worried that I'll leave without you? Don't worry, I won't abandon you again."

"I'm not worried about that! I'm just... just scared..."

"Fear?"

"My brother has more and more spirits around him, and Yagyu and the others have already done 'that' with him..."

"this......"

"I'm sure Tohka and the others will too, and I don't want to fall behind. I was the one who met my brother first!"

"You don't need to worry about these things."

"Does my brother not like me? Is it because I'm too young?" Kotori Itsuka separated herself from Tokimitsu and looked down at her chest, which was not showing any change in color.

"You know I don't care about size..."

"Then what are you hesitating about, brother? I've already said all this, are you trying to embarrass me?"

"Kotori..."

"Take me, let me have some confidence." Kotori Itsuka's tone was full of pleading.

"I understand." Looking into Kotori Itsuka's ruby-like eyes, Tokishi nodded.
