Memorable scenes from various anime and manga crossovers: Starting with Emiya the Great Hero

Watching this subtle scene unfold on the screen, especially the best friend's "trump card" comment that left everyone single, the expressions of all the onlookers became extremely nuanced.

The sheer amount of information contained in that sentence instantly exploded in everyone's minds, almost causing their CPUs to overheat...

Did these two girls, even though they have boyfriends, still go to that matchmaking event they described as a zoo?

This is hard to rate! 273!

This is no longer a simple case of overpraising someone; the actions of these two are enough to fill a book titled "The Great Collection of Bizarre Human Behaviors."

Lord Busujima, what kind of friends have you made...?

Encouraged by the two, Busujima finally mustered the courage to confess to Otsuya.

[Iori, who was originally planning to return to the lounge, had just reached the door when she keenly caught faint sounds of conversation coming from inside.]

Iori stopped and listened for a moment. A rare look of understanding appeared on her face, which was usually filled with silliness or excitement.

He raised a hand to scratch his messy hair, but ultimately didn't choose to push the door open and go in. Instead, he silently turned around, leaving the space entirely to the two people inside.

And then, unsurprisingly... the confession failed.

"Oh dear, what a pity~"

"Anyway, you only liked his face in the first place, so you can easily find someone else."

For Busujima at this moment, "comfort" is nothing short of adding insult to injury; behind her forced smile lies a profound sense of loss that no one understands.

But now that things had come to this, Busujima had no choice but to go along with them and try her best to appear nonchalant and indifferent.

[After finishing his part-time job and changing back into his regular clothes, Busujima finally shed all his pretense, his figure revealing an undisguised loneliness as he leaned weakly against the door of the employee entrance.]

"then--"】

Just then, a familiar voice broke the silence.

Sitting on the steps by the door, Iori, without turning her head, casually tossed a can of chilled beer precisely towards her.

[Those eyes, usually so clouded, now held an unusual calm, as if they had long anticipated this outcome.]

Chapter 1416 Poison Island Conquest Progress 70%! The Land War God's Highlight Moment.

"Honestly, this can of beer from Iori is probably more effective than the comfort from those two best friends..."

Watching Busujima, after her failed confession, not only unable to show her true emotions, but also having to put on a mask and force a smile to blend into the group, is quite a sight.

The onlookers seemed to feel the heaviness even through the screen, and they all sighed in unison.

I was so upset I wanted to cry.

Yet she had to force herself to pretend to be indifferent, even joining in the self-deprecation, to conform to the expectations and definitions others had of her...

Isn't it tiring to pretend like this?

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War World

"That forced, ingratiating smile... it's really ugly, Busujima-senpai..."

Fujiwara Chika, who has always been full of enthusiasm and curiosity about love, was now wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, her face full of lingering depression.

Recalling the forlorn look on Busujima's face as she leaned against the door after leaving the lounge, her voice was muffled: "She looked so sad, almost on the verge of tears..."

"She's not someone who only likes the other person's face; she shows her true feelings, Busujima-senpai."

She seems so carefree, but in reality, she's just putting on a brave face.

She was heartbroken, but she forced herself to put on a smile, trying to conform to the superficial labels others attached to her, such as being only good-looking and easily swayed...

Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but puff out her cheeks, a hint of dissatisfaction and confusion in her voice: "Why can't I cry when I want to cry and laugh when I want to laugh, just like you do?"

"You all agree, right, President, Kaguya-san?"

Why go through all that trouble caring about what others think and expect of you?!

Kaguya Shinomiya gave a somewhat forced smile and stammered, "Well... you're right."

Shirogane Miyuki's eyes darted around, avoiding Fujiwara Chika's gaze, and he nodded repeatedly with a vacant expression: "Ah...yes, Secretary Fujiwara...you're right."

"Huh? What's with your reaction?" Seeing the reaction that seemed to be exactly the same as that of Busujima-senpai, Fujiwara Chika's eyes became somewhat dazed.

Could it be that--

Are the student council president and Shinomiya living behind false masks?!

Unaware that the truth was being discovered by chance, Fujiwara Chika was completely oblivious to the fact that Shinomiya Kaguya and Shirogane Miyuki, caught up in their own romantic battles, were on the verge of collapsing under the pressure.

For them, this moment on Poison Island was nothing short of a terrifying rehearsal of "failed confession"!

The two unconsciously sat up straight, feeling that their future in love was bleak.

How am I supposed to get the student council president (Shinomiya) to confess to me like this?!

Magical Girl Illya World

"Oh dear, there's just no way to deal with them..."

Rin Tohsaka looked at Busujima's forced smile on the screen, and at the complicated interpersonal entanglements, and couldn't help but cross her arms and shake her head helplessly.

"In front of those so-called best friends, she needs to maintain a fixed persona of being arrogant and obsessed with good looks at all times."

"In front of Otoya, she had to hide her true nature and try to play the role of someone who suited his preferences."

"No wonder Otoya said that Busujima seemed more cheerful when he was with Kitahara."

Perhaps, she'd only be around those simple-minded fools who don't care what kind of persona she is...

Only then can she truly shed all her heavy pretenses, even if only for a brief moment, and catch her breath.

"Hmph." Luvia elegantly covered her lower lip with her folding fan and snorted coldly, "This kind of self-deception to please others is utterly foolish."

Rin Tohsaka shrugged helplessly: "That's why I said there's really nothing I can do about her."

“But…” Just then, Ilyas, who had been quietly listening, raised her little hand and looked at her two “older sisters” with her pure, big eyes, posing a soul-searching question.

"Rin-neechan and Luvia-neechan, aren't you two also pretending to be elegant young ladies every day?"

Varied……!?

The effortless, elegant smiles on their faces froze instantly, as if a pause button had been pressed.

With her most innocent face, Miyu added another blow in a flat tone: "And she often pretends to be a reliable adult."

"..." The smiles on their faces froze completely, as if they could hear a "crack" sound of shattering, and at the same time, they screamed in despair.

Who on earth is it?!

Who corrupted these two innocent magical girls?!

"W-What do you mean by 'pretending'!?" Rin Tohsaka was the first to recover, angrily trying to explain, "I just occasionally... occasionally use some more efficient strategies!"

As for the so-called unreliable claims—

Luvia and Rin Tohsaka glared at each other fiercely. It was clearly all the fault of this half-baked magician next to them!

"I think you might prefer this..." Iori tossed a can of beer to Busujima before opening it and drinking it herself.

"So?" Busujima took the cold beer but didn't open it immediately, saying with a self-deprecating laugh, "You're not trying to comfort me, are you?"

"It's such a small thing, not enough to make me feel down. It's just being rejected by someone whose looks are really to my liking, nothing serious."

However, Iori wasn't so easily fooled by this excuse as her best friend: "Is this your excuse for being so stubborn?"

"Huh?" Busujima tried to cover up his guilt by raising his voice, continuing to stubbornly insist, "Isn't this just common sense? Under normal circumstances, it would definitely be..."

“But you said,” Iori interrupted her forcefully, “that you truly like him.”

"So what if you like his face? What's wrong with genuinely liking someone's looks?"

"Everyone has different preferences, and what others say is irrelevant to them..."

Busujima froze, her grip on the beer can tightening slightly. Perhaps, admitting she was sad wasn't shameful.

"I...I really can't believe it...Did some Casanova steal Iori's account today? How could she say something so philosophical?"

"They're back...they're all back...the original God of War is back! Who can resist his penetrating understanding and compassion?!"

Watching Iori exert himself like a war god, everyone was almost moved to tears. His perfect understanding and care showed off his exceptional emotional intelligence!

Everyone praised Iori's current state highly—she was beginning to take on a human form!

It's starting to look a bit human now.

Academy City World

"I can't believe it..."

Shirai Kuroko stared intently at Iori on the screen, whose every word was sharp and incisive, her eyes filled with shock and bewilderment.

"Is this really the Kitahara Iori I know, with her peculiar thinking and behavior patterns that are almost identical to those of an apes?"

strangeness--

Iori-senpai, the way you look now...it's completely unfamiliar to me!!

Misaka Mikoto's gaze also became somewhat vacant: "I have the same question, Kuroko."

This senior, Iori, is like a kind and caring older sister...

Then I recalled the other person's bizarre logic and their speaking style, which could be described as that of a master of language.
