A cross-dressing anime, starting with Kaguya-sama: Love Is War.

"……I don't……"

These intermittent, ambiguous words, mixed with the rustling sound of energy flowing, clearly reached the outside of the door.

In the corridor, Alexandra's expression could no longer be described as blank; it was a mixture of shock, bewilderment, and a sense of collapse that came from the thought, "My god can't be this unrestrained."

Steam was practically rising from the top of Chunji's head.

Kaguya's face fluctuated wildly between ashen, crimson, and deathly pale, a truly fascinating display.

Blood even began to drip from the knife handle she gripped so tightly, due to the force she exerted.

As for Liu, she leaned against the wall, pressing the back of her hand against her burning cheeks, with only one thought in her mind:

It's over, it's over.

After Lynn wakes up, how will she face these three... no, one elf and two goddesses!

Just then, the three small golden dragons that had been dimly lit and surrounded Lynn suddenly shone brightly!

They seemed to be infused with new vitality, swirling joyfully and emitting clear, melodious dragon roars.

A powerful surge of life force erupted from Lynn's body.

Frillie let out a muffled groan, her face instantly turning much paler.

She sensed that Lynn's life force field, that "empty bottle," had finally begun to generate its own attraction.

The most dangerous phase is over.

She slowly withdrew her hand, and the emerald green light gradually faded away.

Lynn, lying on the bed, had regained a rosy complexion from her previous ashen appearance, and her breathing had become steady and strong.

Although he was still asleep, everyone could see that he was out of danger.

Frilian sat up wearily, glanced at the two goddesses still arguing beside her, and spoke expressionlessly.

"It's over."

276. This is no ordinary 'technical work'.

Frilian's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the "war" between Artemis and Astraea.

The two goddesses stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the bed.

Seeing Lynn's face regain its color and her breathing become steady, their hearts finally settled down.

The resolute look in Artemis's eyes faded, replaced by intense joy and lingering fear, while Astraea let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as exhausted as if she had just fought a divine battle.

Frilian slowly and methodically put her mage robes back on, straightening her slightly disheveled collar, the whole process still as unhurried as ever.

She walked to the door and opened it.

"Whoosh—"

With an unexpected noise, the girls who were pressing their ears to the door lost their support and fell in one after another, rolling into a heap on the floor.

Alexie was at the bottom, with Haruhime and Kaguya on top of her. Ryu, on the other hand, reacted faster and managed to hold onto the door frame, but he was still in a rather awkward position.

The scene became quite awkward.

Frilian lowered her head and looked expressionlessly at the several people in various poses on the ground with her calm, deep green eyes.

“Eavesdropping is not a good habit,” she stated calmly.

"We...we're worried about Lynn!" Alexie struggled to lift her head from the crowd, her face flushed red, whether from the fall or from embarrassment, it was hard to tell.

Kaguya didn't say a word, but jumped up from the ground and rushed to the bedside immediately.

When she saw that Lynn was indeed safe and sound, her murderous aura receded like a tide, and she relaxed completely. However, her gaze toward Frilian was still full of complexity and vigilance.

Haruhime and Ryuya quickly got up and gathered around the bed, their faces beaming with undisguised joy.

“He’s alright now.” Frilian’s voice rang out again, breaking the silence in the room. “His life force has been rekindled, but he was too exhausted and needs a long period of rest to recover.”

She paused, then added, "I simply used the characteristics of elves to transform and transfer my own life energy to him. It was a very tedious and boring technical task, nothing more."

This casual explanation caused the expressions of Alexandra and the others, who had just imagined a whole dramatic scene, to freeze instantly.

Technical job?

Boring and dull?

So all those sounds they heard outside, and that tense yet ambiguous atmosphere they felt, were just their own illusions?

Alexie opened her mouth, feeling like a fool.

Kaguya's cheeks flushed slightly as she realized just how... absurd her anger had been.

Ryu breathed a quiet sigh of relief. Thank goodness, things hadn't gotten to the worst possible point.

"Pfft... Hahahaha!"

Suddenly, Alexie burst into a thunderous laugh, clutching her stomach and laughing until tears streamed down her face.

"Haha... I can't take it anymore... Kaguya, Ryu... the expressions on your faces just now... Hahahaha!"

Kaguya's cheeks flushed bright red instantly. She glared at Alicia but couldn't find any words to retort, so she turned her head away, her ears turning bright red.

Liu was also embarrassed. She held her forehead with her hand, feeling the heat on her cheeks linger for a long time.

Looking back on that moment of panic and the various outrageous thoughts that flashed through my mind, all that remains is endless shame.

Chunji wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground. She buried her face in her arms and dared not look at anyone.

"Okay, stop laughing."

The goddess Astraea spoke with a hint of helplessness, patting Alexie on the back.

"Lynn needs to rest quietly."

Alexie finally managed to stop laughing. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, walked to the bedside, and looked at Lynn's peaceful sleeping face. The joy of regaining what she had lost welled up in her heart again.

"However, Frilian, you are truly amazing!"

Alexandra sighed with genuine emotion.

“This is no ordinary ‘technical work’; you saved this guy’s life.”

Frilian simply nodded, took out the notebook from her bosom, turned to a new page, and began to write.

"Case Study 1: Direct Infusion of Life Energy: Success".

The victim: Lynn.

Status: Near death, body energy depleted, soul fire weak.

Spellcaster: Fulian.

Process: Through the life resonance characteristics of spirits, an energy channel is established, using one's own life force as a catalyst to rekindle the other's life core.

Time taken: 37 minutes.

Conclusion: This method is effective, but it is extremely taxing on the practitioner and requires a very high level of energy control.

Note: The emotional fluctuations of bystanders seem to have a slight disturbance to the stability of the energy field, especially when emotions mixed with worry, anger, and...admiration create an interesting resonance frequency.

As she wrote, she glanced up at Kaguya and Ryu, whose cheeks were flushed, as if to confirm her observation.

This action made the atmosphere, which had just eased, awkward again.

Just then, there was a knock on the gate of the residence.

Serti opened the door, and soon, Eina appeared at the doorway.

She looked anxious, but when she saw the room full of people, including the "53 Reading Club" members, and Lynn sleeping peacefully on the bed, she visibly relaxed.

“~Great, Freya, the guild has made arrangements. It’s the highest-level treatment room of the Deancat Familia.”

Eina strode in, and when she saw Lynn unharmed, her joy deepened.

"Mr. Lynn, he..."

"They are out of danger."

Riveria answered for her.

"Thanks to Frilian."

Eina looked at Frilian gratefully, who simply nodded and continued writing in her notebook.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Eina nodded repeatedly, but soon her expression turned serious.

She handed a file to Riveria.

"This is an emergency notice just issued by the guild."

277. The wounds of war

Riveria took it and quickly glanced through it, her brows furrowing in disapproval.

"Did remnants of the Dark Faction rob the pharmacies of the Mih Familia and the Dean Kate Familia?"

Alexandra came over and took a look, then exclaimed in surprise.

"Have they gone mad? They've already lost so badly, and they're still resorting to these petty tricks?"

The file clearly states that just this morning, while Freya's Familia was clearing out the main battlefield, a small remnant force of the dark faction caused a disturbance in the west of the city.

While everyone's attention was drawn to that, another group swiftly looted several large pharmacies.

They didn't steal money or ordinary medical supplies; their target was frighteningly clear.

All that was stolen were rare medicines used to suppress curses or calm the mind.

"Luring the tiger away from the mountain."

Liu spoke softly, her expression serious.

"Their purpose is by no means simple."

"That's right."

Eina's expression was also not good.

"Commander Finn suspects this is related to their operations in the underground city of 740."

Moreover... the guild also received another piece of information.

She paused for a moment, as if organizing her thoughts.

"Adventurers have reported seeing a woman who commands monsters on the 24th floor."

"Rives!"

Kaguya tightened her grip on the hilt of the sword.

"It's that woman! Lynn's injuries are all thanks to her!"

This message instantly lowered the atmosphere in the room to freezing point.

It turns out that after Lynn fell, the enemy he encountered was that infamous dark faction leader.

"The guild is doing everything it can to track down Revis's whereabouts and the whereabouts of the stolen medicines."

Eina's voice was filled with exhaustion.

"This war is not completely over yet."

Her words silenced everyone.

The cheers from the surface still echoed in our ears, but the crisis lurking in the shadows was like an invisible venomous snake, ready to strike again at any moment.

"We understand."

Riveria put the file away.

"We will cooperate with the guild's investigation."

As Rivera finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room grew even heavier.

"Alright, stop standing there." Alexie took a deep breath, forcing herself to cheer up, and clapped her hands, trying to dispel the stagnant air.

"Lynn needs rest, and so do we."

She looked around at her clan members, each of whom wore a deep weariness on their faces.
