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

"Wait," Frilian uttered a single word, then walked back to the window, sat down again, and took out her notebook.

"Wait?" Alexandra was practically going crazy.

What she hated most was this helpless waiting.

“Yes, wait.” Ryu pressed down on Alyssa’s shoulder. Her hand was steady, giving the anxious leader a bit of calm.

"Trust him."

Ryu's words made Alexie freeze.

She turned around and saw an unprecedented determination on Liu's face.

Yes, that person is Lynn.

He's the guy who always manages to turn the impossible into the possible.

Alexandra took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the unease in her chest.

She looked around at her companions, whose faces were full of worry, and then cheered herself up.

"Alright! Everyone, stop crowding around here!" She clapped her hands.

"Haruhime, go prepare some liquid food, the most nutritious kind! Kaguya, you, go chop wood in the yard, use up all your inexhaustible strength! Ryu, come with me, let's take care of those things at the gate."

Outside the gate, a small mountain had been piled up at some point.

Flowers, fruits, bread, medicine... and even several heavy bags of saliva.

Next to each item, there was a small note.

"Wishing the hero a speedy recovery."

"Thank you, Mr. Lynn."

"This is all my savings, please accept it!"

Alexandra and Ryu silently carried the items into the warehouse one by one. They didn't say a word, but they could both feel the heaviness in each other's hearts.

These acts of kindness are the gentlest flowers blooming on the city's bleeding wounds.

But at the same time, it was also a heavy responsibility weighing on them, on Lynn's shoulders...

The night grew deeper and deeper.

In the room, only Haruhime and Kaguya remained, taking turns keeping watch.

Kaguya remained seated in that corner, clutching her sword, like a motionless statue.

Chunji carefully changed the wet towel on Lynn's forehead.

Just as she was wringing out the towel and preparing to apply it again, a warm hand gently grasped her wrist.

Chunji's body trembled violently.

She lowered her head and met a pair of slowly opening, somewhat bewildered, golden eyes.

Those eyes, in the dim light, were as clear as two pieces of fine amber.

"Lynn...sir?" Haruhime's voice trembled with disbelief.

Lynn blinked, seemingly not fully awake from a deep sleep.

He looked at the pretty face before him, her cheeks streaked with tears, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he uttered a hoarse, almost inaudible syllable.

"water……"

Chunji was stunned for three seconds, and then she was overwhelmed by immense joy.

"Water! Water!" she cried out, jumping up and turning to pour water. But in her excitement, she bumped her head on the corner of the table next to her.

A muffled thud.

"Ouch!" Chunji covered her forehead, tears welling up instantly. This time, it wasn't from joy, but from pain.

Startled awake by the commotion, Kaguya, who was in the corner, opened her eyes abruptly and rushed to the bedside.

When she saw that Lynn had opened her eyes and was looking helplessly at Haruhime who was covering her head, Kaguya's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

"You stupid fox-person! So noisy!"

She was cursing, but her voice carried an uncontrollable joy.

She turned around, picked up the kettle and cup from the table, quickly poured a cup of water, and handed it over.

"drink.".

280. Ms. Kaguya, your hands are shaking.

Lynn looked at the two people in front of him, one with his head in his hands and tears in his eyes, and the other with a stern face and a fierce tone. He weakly tugged at the corners of his mouth.

This feeling is wonderful.

He struggled, trying to sit up.

Kaguya immediately stepped forward, carefully helped him up, and placed a soft pillow behind his back.

The warm water slid down my throat, quenching my burning thirst.

Lynn let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if she had finally come back to life.

"How long... have I been asleep?" His voice was still hoarse, but much clearer.

“One day and one night,” Kaguya replied, placing the water glass back on the table and staring straight at him as if to confirm that he was truly unharmed.

Lynn nodded.

He tried to move his body a bit.

There was no excruciating pain as I had imagined, nor the sensation of my body being torn apart.

Instead, there was an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.

A vast yet gentle force flowed quietly through his limbs and bones. They no longer clashed or fought, but merged perfectly into one, as if they were meant to be.

He could feel that his body had changed.

"How does it feel?" Kaguya noticed his subtle movements.

“Very good,” Lynn replied, and it was the truth. “Better than ever before.”

He raised his hand and looked at his palm.

Nothing seemed to have changed there, but he knew that if he wanted, a force powerful enough to shake mountains would gather there.

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Alexie and Ryu rushed in, clearly startled by the commotion.

When she saw Lynn sitting up and talking to Kaguya, Alyssa stopped in her tracks.

She opened her mouth, and her usually bright and lively eyes quickly became misty.

The next second, she pounced on him like a gust of wind.

"You're finally awake!"

She hugged Lynn tightly, with such force that it seemed she wanted to meld him into her body.

"Cough...cough cough..." Lynn was so choked by her that she almost couldn't catch her breath.

"Idiot! Do you want to knock him out again?!" Kaguya shouted anxiously from the side, reaching out to pull Ariascha.

Standing to the side, watching the chaotic scene, Liu couldn't help but smile gently on her usually aloof face.

She stepped forward and gently patted Alexandra on the back.

"Alright, Alexie, let him catch his breath."

Alexie then seemed to wake from a dream, quickly let go of her hand, and wiped her eyes somewhat embarrassedly.

"I...I was just too excited."

Lynn leaned against the pillow, breathing heavily, but a smile remained on her face.

Looking at the girls who were so worried about him, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

“I’m back,” he said softly.

These three words, light and airy, possess a magical power capable of bringing peace to the entire world.

Alexie froze, then realized she was still clinging to Lynn.

She released her hand as if electrocuted, a suspicious blush rising on her cheeks, but her words were still sharp.

"You're back...you're back! What's all the fuss about! Who was worried about you!"

As she spoke, she frantically tidied up the pillows she had messed up for Lynn, but her movements were incredibly gentle.

Kaguya stood by the bed, arms crossed, head turned to the side, and gave a nasal "humph".

"Get up quickly once you're awake. Don't get in the way here. What kind of man looks like lying in bed like that?"

However, her flushed ears and tightly pursed, yet slightly upturned lips completely betrayed her true thoughts.

"Lord Lynn!"

Chunji covered her forehead, which had been bruised from the impact, with tears still clinging to her eyelashes, but a smile brighter than the sunlight bloomed on her face.

She jogged to the table, picked up a bowl of steaming, fragrant porridge.

"I...I've prepared food for you! You must be starving!"

She carefully scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and then eagerly handed it to Lynn's lips.

Lynn looked at the pair of fox ears filled with anticipation and was about to open his mouth.

"and many more!"

Alexandra grabbed Haruhime's hand and spoke confidently.

"This guy just woke up and is still weak, he can't eat something so hot! I'll do it!"

As she spoke, she tried to take the bowl from Chunji's hand.

"What do you know!" Kaguya retorted immediately, snatching the bowl from Alicia before she could even touch it, her movements so swift they created a gust of wind.

"You clumsy fellow, all you do is spill porridge everywhere! This kind of thing should be done by someone with a more careful mind!"

As she spoke, she scooped up a spoonful herself and stiffly handed it to Lynn, her cheeks turning even redder.

"Hey! You... open your mouth! What are you looking at!"

"Miss Kaguya, your hands are shaking..." Haruhime whispered a reminder.

"Stop nagging! I'm just... I'm afraid he'll get burned!" Kaguya retorted stubbornly.

Ryu watched the disastrous feeding scene from the side and sighed helplessly. She stepped forward and took the bowl from Kaguya's hand.

"I'll do it."

Her movements were steady and elegant. She scooped up the porridge, gently blew on it to cool it, and then smoothly handed it to Lynn's lips. The whole process was smooth and effortless.

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

281. Express gratitude

"I'll go take a look," Celty volunteered and ran out.

Soon, she walked in with an unexpected person.

“Miss Eina?” Alexandra asked, somewhat surprised. “What brings you here?”

Eina was carrying a large stack of files, her face etched with exhaustion, but when she saw that Lynn had woken up, her expression instantly relaxed.

"Mr. Lynn! That's wonderful, you're finally awake!"

She hurried to the bedside and placed the file aside: "I'm here to report the situation, and also..."

She pulled a delicate little box from her bosom: "This is a gift from the guild to thank you for your contributions in this incident."

Lynn took the box, opened it, and found a beautifully crafted badge inside, engraved with the emblem of Yulari.

"What is this?"

“The Badge of Honorary Citizen,” Eina explained. “Only those who have made significant contributions to Yulari can receive this honor.”

"Wow!" Maru exclaimed, "That's a really great honor!"
