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

Looking at the increasingly bizarre atmosphere on the screen, Kanako shook her head helplessly, "Once we become complete best buddies, it'll be too late!"

The thought that Ai Lai might soon receive a "friend zone" or "best buddy" rating made the three best friends focus their attention on the screen again.

A sense of helplessness and desolation welled up inside me.

"Ugh--"

Even if you change Ai Lai's equipment, it won't help because his gameplay is just too terrible.

There was absolutely no chance of success.

After browsing the diving shop for a while, Ai Lai finally remembered their business and went with Iori to the restaurant that had been rigorously selected by the "General Staff Headquarters".

"cheers--!!"】

Looking around, Ai Lai couldn't help but admire her friends' taste—this Palau-style shop had a fantastic atmosphere.

[This restaurant truly lives up to its reputation as a "favorite" among best friends. Not only does it happen to be a branch in Palau, but it also boasts a relaxed seaside vibe, and the overall atmosphere is perfectly balanced.]

[It's neither too luxurious to make you feel constrained, nor does it lack just the right amount of formality; it's the perfect place to build rapport.]

However, when Iori's gaze fell on the plate of chicken skewers on the table that looked remarkably similar to those seen in the movie earlier, a strange "conditioned reflex" formed.

The two's conversation, as if drawn by an invisible force, unconsciously slipped back into the passionate world of "Beyond the Ring."

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War World

“Speaking of which…” Shirogane Miyuki watched the two people in the restaurant discussing the movie plot again with great enthusiasm, his lips twitching slightly. Finally, he couldn’t help but facepalm and complain.

"The aftereffects of this movie are just too strong, aren't they?"

He even began to seriously doubt whether this was really not some well-made, ubiquitous movie trailer.

Otherwise, how could its presence be so intense?! (For super-exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

From movie theaters to restaurants, the shadow of this film is like the lifeblood of the world—everywhere it appears, inseparable…

"Could it be..." Shirogane Miyuki frowned slightly, falling into rational thought: "Is this 'Beyond the Ring' really that outrageously good?"

"Then—" Fujiwara Chika raised her phone with shining eyes, her face beaming with the excitement of discovering a new world: "Let's go see it for ourselves, President!"

"I just looked it up out of curiosity." Fujiwara Chika turned her phone screen towards Shirogane and exclaimed excitedly, "In our world, this movie is actually showing in theaters!"

In an instant——

The air seemed to freeze.

Kaguya Shinomiya, who had been picturing a romantic date with the president in a movie theater, suddenly felt her face turn icy cold.

His eyes had lost all their sparkle, leaving only a deathly stillness, and he exuded an aura of winter chill, like that of Siberia.

The look in his eyes as he gazed at Fujiwara Chika had lost all trace of human warmth—

Well, according to Ishigami, Fujiwara's vital signs can only be maintained for a maximum of two more months.

You actually... want to go to the movies with the president?

Does he want to monopolize the president's weekend? Does he want something to happen in a dark movie theater?

Haha, friendship is really fleeting... Looks like it's time for us to break up.

Besides, we're from different worlds, how could we possibly have the same electricity...

Just now.

Yu Ishigami, who had been huddled in the corner of the sofa and seemed to have no presence like a background character, exclaimed in surprise while looking at the computer: "Ah, it really is! 'Beyond the Ring' will be showing this Saturday at 3 PM."

N-ni-?!

Upon hearing this, Kaguya Shinomiya was deeply shocked, and for the first time, cracks appeared in her lifeless eyes!

What exactly is the background of that movie?!

It actually managed to break down the dimensional barrier and have screenings in both worlds?! That's an incredible level of penetration!

The powerful sense of déjà vu and the omnipresent pressure finally made her give up resisting.

Is that not enough for me?!

Iori couldn't help but exclaim, "People who can focus on something really look so cool!"

“Haha, yes,” Ailey replied with a laugh, her voice full of agreement.

Unbeknownst to her, Ai Lai was completely absorbed in the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, her gaze unconsciously lingering on Iori's radiant face.

So happy...

[Watching the same things, being moved by the same plot, and then sharing our thoughts without reservation!]

I love it so much!

[Diving is one thing... movies are another...]

"I was here first? I was the one who watched the movie with him, I was the one who discussed the plot with him... Oh no, I can almost hear the wail of a loser echoing in the distance."

"Stop having such dangerous thoughts, Airi! Don't even think about touching that classic line that's so reminiscent of 'White Album'!"

Watching Ai Lai on the screen, seemingly immersed in happiness but inwardly issuing a "dangerous declaration," the onlookers couldn't bear to look and covered their faces, sighing in despair.

Is it the season for white albums again...?

Although the atmosphere in the restaurant is indeed gradually getting back on track, the direction of your inner monologue is really off, Qi!

As everyone knows, at the scene of a car accident, the difference between a white-collar scholar and a dog is that at least there's a skid mark in front of the dog...

And your inner monologue, brimming with the spirit of "White Album," is like an old general on a theatrical stage, riddled with foreshadowing!

Chapter 1422 Getting a scholarship with all 4s in GPA? What a brilliant idea!

Under the influence of this atmosphere, Ai Lai unconsciously blurted out her confession softly: "I like you..."

The moment the words left their mouths, their eyes met in mid-air, and time seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

[Ailee snapped back to reality, overwhelmed by a wave of shame and panic. Almost reflexively, she instinctively covered her mouth with her hands.]

Fortunately, Iori didn't seem to have clearly heard what Ailai had just said, only catching a few vague syllables: "You said bucket (dialect)?"

"Th-that...no...I..." Ai Lai shook her head violently, her hands flailing frantically in front of her chest. In her panic, she grabbed the cocktail shaker from the table.

"Yes! I was talking about the bucket, hahaha..." A dry laugh echoed awkwardly in the air.

"Sigh... I gave you a chance, but you were useless! What's the point of explaining now? Just go for it."

"You still managed to miss your ultimate move at such close range, Ai Lai, you should leave the group, you're really bad!"

Watching Ai Lai lose her composure, the viewers outside the video were speechless. Are young people's views on love these days trying to drive us viewers crazy?

I won't watch White Album 3 without you two, it's driving me crazy...

The Daily World of High School Boys

Zhongbang stared at Ai Lai's flustered appearance on the screen, remaining silent for a full ten seconds: "I said, Xiuze..."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Hideaki pushed up his glasses, a flash of white light instantly appearing above the lenses. "What's wrong, Tadakuni?"

"Have you gained any new insights into Senior Ai Lai's tactics? Is it Wu Jun?"

“Insights and such…” Zhong673 pointed to Ai Lai on the screen, whose rhythm was completely led by Iori, his voice trembling slightly.

"Are we really going to memorize Senior Ai Lai's strategy and hope to use it to deal with girls...?"

This feeling——

It's just like being in an exam hall, desperately trying to peek at the answers of the student next to you who's not doing well.

No matter how carefully you copy it, it doesn't change the fact that it's the wrong answer, right?

"..."

"..."

After exchanging glances, the group fell silent.

The only sounds in the room were the noisy cicadas chirping outside the window and the awkward scene on the screen where Ai Lai stammered about the bucket.

This cruel truth instantly shattered their previous unrealistic fantasies.

After a moment of silence, it was Xiuzhe who finally broke the silence: "Then... it should be the same to use her as a negative example, right, Tadakuni?"

Once you've reviewed all the incorrect options, the remaining ones are all correct answers.

Ailai nervously glanced at Iori's reaction, and seeing that he simply nodded in understanding, she breathed a sigh of relief and quietly patted her chest.

We're saved...

Ailey let out a long sigh of relief, as if she had collapsed from exhaustion, her tense nerves instantly relaxing: "That crisis management just now... I covered it up perfectly!"

"That last move, I executed it perfectly."

"Now no one will realize that I was just confessing my feelings..."

However, what she didn't notice at all was—

The instant she uttered the word "I like it," the guests who had been quietly chatting and enjoying their food in various corners of the restaurant froze, their forks raised in mid-air...

The once bustling restaurant had fallen silent, and the guests, their emotions a mix of complex and unspoken feelings, all turned their attention to the young couple.

"(Whispering) He confessed..."
