In a crossover anime, the only way to become stronger is by marrying a wife.

"By the way, have you been going to school lately?"

Tsukikawa Hiiragi asked.

"Ah... um!"

Mahiro Oyama nodded vigorously to ease his awkwardness.

"Can you understand what you're learning now?" Tsukikawa Shu asked.

"Well... hehe..."

Oyama Mahiro turned around and gave her a polite but not awkward smile.

It's clear they didn't absorb anything.

Tsukikawa Shuu sighed.

Mahiro Oyama should still be in junior high school right now.

Even if Mahiro Oyama hadn't taken his medicine and had stayed home for so long, he probably would have forgotten everything from before.

"Come to my house for tutoring after school tomorrow," Tsukikawa Shuu said.

"Eh? We're going to Tsukikawa-kun's house?"

Oyama Mahiro suddenly shrank back in fear.

I've been staying at home all these years and haven't visited anyone else yet...

"Anyway, we're neighbors, and you've never even seen what my parents look like," Tsukikawa Shuu chuckled.

"That's right."

Mahiro Oyama nodded.

"Don't worry, I can teach you well," Tsukikawa Shuu said.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Tsukikawa-kun," Mahiro Oyama said with a sweet smile.

……

……

Tsukikawa Shu has indeed had quite a few things going on lately.

One task is to tutor several girls, and the other is to join the Service Club and organize a Christmas social event with the Seaside Comprehensive High School.

After school, Tsukikawa Shuu glanced at the time on her phone.

It's still too early for Goto Ichiri's band to finish their performance.

Should we go back and have a casual chat with Hiratsuka Shizuka?

Just as Tsukikawa Shu was still pondering, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Hey! Hiiragi~"

Looking back, I saw Yui Yuigahama with her side hair tied into a bun.

There were two other people behind her, one of whom was Yukino Yukinoshita.

The other was a tall, handsome blond boy.

Hayato Hayama is one of the most handsome guys in the school, and he's the object of many girls' secret crushes.

—The reason I say "one of" is because there is another one, Tsukikawa Shu, who comes before her.

Chapter 85

"When did you start adding the word 'Xiao' before my name?" Tsukikawa Shu asked.

“Doesn’t this make us seem closer?” Yui Yuigahama said with a smile.

This girl is always good at sensing the atmosphere and is very outgoing.

"Yo."

At this moment, Hayato Hayama, the school heartthrob from the original anime, also came forward and greeted them with a smile.

"Hello," Tsukikawa Shuuya said perfunctorily.

The two of them don't usually communicate much.

Hayato Hayama participated in many clubs, and even those he didn't join, he would often go back to help out, making him very popular among students.

As for Tsukikawa Shu, he is a member of the Homecoming Club, adhering to the philosophy that "children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I enjoy my blessings even if I don't have children and grandchildren," and he is usually too lazy to communicate with the girls.

"I heard our school is going to have a joint program with Haibin Comprehensive High School, and you guys went to help out. How's it going?" Hayama Hayato asked.

"We haven't even had a formal conversation yet, but it already looks like things are already half over."

Tsukigawa Hiiragi said.

Since they had nothing else to do, Tsukikawa Shu walked forward with the group, planning to find a coffee shop along the way to kill some time.

Hayato Hayama seemed to be just passing by and casually inquired about the matchmaking event. Given his extensive social circle, he's usually quite helpful and attentive to many things.

"Give!"

The group was walking along the road when suddenly, Yui Yuigahama pulled a small paper bag out of her schoolbag.

"What is this?" Tsukikawa Shuu glanced at it.

"I made these cookies!" ヾ(≧▽≦*)o

Yui Yuigahama looked incredibly proud.

Tsukikawa Hiiragi had a vague sense of foreboding.

At first glance, there seems to be no problem.

Cookies that are barely recognizable as animal shapes.

However, some burnt residue remained inside the paper bag and had not been wiped clean; the back and edges of the cookies were also slightly charred.

Yui Yuigahama loves to cook, but her dishes are always mediocre.

"Yui-san's cookies?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked in surprise, picking up a cookie from the paper bag.

"I put a lot of effort into making this!" Yui Yuigahama said. "Try it quickly and see if my cooking skills have improved."

"Of course, you should give me your feedback! I'll listen to it and do even better next time!" Yui Yuigahama emphasized.

Yukino Yukinoshita took the cookies from Yui Yuigahama, picked up one, and handed it to Tsukikawa Shuu beside her.

Tsukikawa Shuuya also picked up a piece, and after hesitating for a while, the two looked at each other and then took small bites one after the other.

"Um……"

Yukino Yukinoshita and Shuu Tsukikawa both fell into deep thought.

"How is it? How is it?" Yui Yuigahama asked expectantly.

"I think... we don't need to add so many seasonings to cookies in the future, especially milk. Plain cookies might be better."

Yukino Yukinoshita said, "Also, Yui-kun needs to be more careful in the future."

"You're mistaking salt for sugar," Tsukikawa Shuu said.

"Huh?! Is that so?"

Yui Yuigahama was taken aback.

"You haven't even tasted them yourself," Tsukikawa Shu said, looking at her. "Besides, these are the best cookies you picked out, right?"

"Hehe...you found out everything. Actually, I did quite a lot, but the rest is really nothing to brag about..." Yui Yuigahama was a little embarrassed for a moment.

Yui Yuigahama has been trying hard to learn to cook, but unfortunately she has no talent for it and has wasted a lot of effort with only a little progress.

"Would you like to try some?" Tsukikawa Shuu handed the biscuits to Hayama Hayato.

"Okay."

Hayato Hayama didn't mind and accepted the biscuits that Hiiragi Tsukikawa handed him.

Just then, two surprised female voices came from the side.

"Ah! It's Hayama!"

"I'm not mistaken, it really is Hayama! And Tsukikawa-kun too!"

When Tsukikawa Shuu and the others turned around, they saw two people wearing different school uniforms standing behind them.

Both girls were students at Seaside Comprehensive High School and happened to be passing by.

One was a girl with medium-length brown hair that had been permed and was somewhat wavy, and the other was a girl with short hair.

"Oh. Let me introduce myself. My name is Kaori Oreki, and I'm a student at Seaside Comprehensive High School."

The girl with brown, half-length hair looked very lively, but perhaps because she saw two famous and handsome men, she had a strong tendency to be overly familiar with them.

“My name is Nakamachi Chika,” another short-haired girl said.

"I actually ran into two handsome guys today..."

"Yeah, I never expected to meet someone even more handsome than Hayama."
