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

Eina continued, "According to Hermes' description, that monster might be a descendant of a monster that came out in ancient times, but we don't know when it fell into slumber outside of Yulari."

“That monster’s defense is astonishingly high.” Eina’s tone became serious. “According to Hermes’ judgment, at least two LV5 adventurers would need to work together and continuously attack the same point to have any chance of breaking through its shell.”

"Is it that troublesome?" Niz's wolf ears perked up.

“The most troublesome thing isn’t its defense.” Eina shook her head, flipping to the second page of the file, which contained a sketch of the monster drawn by Hermes himself, along with a description of its abilities.

"This monster, which Hermes called the 'Rotten Tortoise,' has many fleshy, tumor-like buds growing on its shell."

"Once an adventurer gets close, it releases these flower buds, which burst open to reveal thousands of tiny insects that will frantically attack all living things around them."

"Even more deadly is that these flower buds are extremely unstable and will immediately explode violently if attacked in any way."

"The explosion is very powerful. If multiple explosions occur together, they are enough to injure any nearby LV3 adventurers, making it impossible for them to get close."

Alexie frowned deeply. "So, to kill the monster, we have to get close, but once we get close, we'll be overwhelmed by poisonous insects. And if we try to clear the flower buds before the insects appear, it will cause an explosion?"

“Yes,” Eina affirmed, “Therefore, cooperation among the various clans is essential.”

Eina solemnly handed over the task to Alexie, then hurriedly took her leave and rushed to the next family.

For the Astrea Familia, who uphold justice, this responsibility to protect Yullari is naturally an inescapable duty.

"Damn it!" Alexie slammed her fist in frustration. "Of all times, she had to get injured!"

Lynn looked at her and said, "You both have impact injuries. Although you are recovering under Maru's treatment, it will take one to two days to fully heal."

He glanced at Lyra and Niz, who were equally unwilling to give up, and continued, "If we act recklessly now, firstly, we won't be able to unleash our full fighting power on the battlefield, and secondly, we'll easily get injured again."

"By then, with the new injuries and the old ones combined, it won't be a matter of just a day or two to recover."

He paused, then added half-jokingly, "Don't all come to my and Kaguya's wedding in a few days with bandages wrapped around your necks."

Alexie only complained a little. She understood that Lynn from "705U.COM" was right. She accepted the arrangement with slight reluctance and stayed at the base with the injured, including Lyra and Niz, to recuperate.

Human warrior Noin stayed behind to look after them, while Iska and Astaire stayed behind to take on night patrol duties.

The rest of the group—Lynn, Kaguya, Ryu, Haruhime, and Leana—rode together in a carriage toward the city gate.

At this moment, in Yulari, groups of adventurers could be seen gathering everywhere on the streets, all discussing the emergency request.

As the carriage drove out of the city gate, Lynn and the others saw several giant shadows with outstretched wings streak across the sky.

“Those are small dragon mounts of the Ganesha Familia,” Kaguya explained. “They’re much faster than our carriage.”

There was a hint of envy in her voice, "It's a pity that our clan doesn't have any beast tamers, otherwise we would at least keep a few."

Lynn nodded. "Indeed, flying is always faster than running."

Just then,

Kaguya suddenly looked at him meaningfully and asked, "What did you see in the bathroom just now?"

What do you see?

How could you say that?!

Lynn immediately pretended not to understand and looked away into the distance.

"Don't play dumb." Kaguya's voice turned slightly colder. "You had thirty seconds before you ran out of the bathroom."

"You did shake your head slightly at that time."

"What exactly did you see?"

Chunji and Leyana also turned their curious gazes toward them.

"Oh dear! I'm a little sleepy." Seeing that she couldn't avoid it, Lynn drooped her eyelids, yawned, then tilted her head and leaned against the car wall, falling asleep in a second.

No matter how much Kaguya pushed him, he didn't budge and just kept sleeping.

Kaguya had no choice but to turn around and see Ryu, who was still somewhat absent-minded, beside her.

She noticed that Ryu had been in a dazed state ever since she got on the bus.

Kaguya went up and lightly punched Ryu on the head.

"You silly elf!"

Ryu covered her head and stared blankly at Kaguya.

Kaguya sat down next to Ryu and said, "We're about to fight, are you still thinking about the bathroom?"

Upon hearing the word "bathroom," Liu's cheeks flushed bright red, a rare occurrence for her.

She quickly waved her hands, "No, I just..."

"Just what?" Kaguya interrupted her directly, "Just letting that guy Lynn buy potato balls for a month is really too cheap for him."

Ryu shook her head, but before she could say anything, Kaguya uttered something astonishing;

"Or, why don't we just let Lynn marry you too?"

"cough!"

Startled by these words, Lynn, who was pretending to be asleep, choked slightly and coughed lightly. She then immediately forced her eyes closed and continued to maintain steady breathing.

Kaguya glanced at Lynn but ignored him; she knew, of course, that he was pretending to be asleep.

However, Lynn was very puzzled.

What is Kaguya doing? Is she testing her?

Ryu was just as dumbfounded, staring blankly at Kaguya, completely bewildered by what she was saying.

Kaguya grabbed Ryu's shoulder, giving her an "I know" look. "Alyssa told me everything. She said you like Lynn."

The onlookers, Chun Ji and Le Yana, all turned their attention from Lin En to Liu.

Liu panicked and quickly tried to explain, "No! Alexie is just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously!"

“What’s all this talk about whether it’s true or false?” Kaguya’s tone became serious. “If you ask me, you should all just marry Lynn.”

Lynn, who was pretending to be asleep, was even more surprised.

What's wrong with Kaguya? Has she gone crazy from being provoked today?

Leyana couldn't help but speak up, "Kaguya, what are you saying?"

Chunji, on the other hand, looked at Lynn, who was pretending to be asleep, and smiled slightly, thinking that it would be wonderful if she could really marry Lord Lynn.

Kaguya glanced at everyone, her expression more serious than ever before. "I'm telling the truth."

“Originally, I had no intention of getting married,” she said, as if lost in some memory, “but this bastard just suddenly appeared, and the wedding is in a few days. It all feels so unreal….”

Kaguya spoke slowly, as if telling a story: "You know, in my hometown, men often have several wives. In fact, this phenomenon also exists in Yulari."

Ryu looked up at Kaguya and said softly, "This... Alisha also told me, but at the time, I was really just envious of how happy you two seemed, and I didn't have any other thoughts."

“Yes! That’s exactly what I wanted to say!” Kaguya’s gaze swept over everyone in the car. “You’ll all get married in the future, right?”

"I wouldn't say all, but most people would. Don't let Niz's tomboyish personality fool you, that girl definitely would."

"It goes without saying that Ishka is beautifully made up every day. As for Astai, as long as someone can feed her and beat her, she will definitely marry him."

"Mariu, and you, Leyana, don't you both hope to find a handsome and strong human adventurer in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Le Ya Na didn't know what to say, so she immediately pretended to be focused on looking at the scenery outside the window.

Kaguya continued, "Alyssa isn't sure, but I think she will in the end. So, count them, how many are there now?"

"After you get married, unless you convert to another religion and leave, other men will move into our settlement."

"Then what happened in the bathroom today will happen frequently in the future."

"Unless we change the layout of the residence again in version 4.0, and each family lives separately after marriage so that their private lives do not interfere with each other."

"But to be honest, then we wouldn't be the close partners we are now."

Kaguya's voice lowered, carrying a hint of vulnerability that was hard to detect.

“In your hearts, your husbands may be equated with your partners, or even… greater than your partners.”

“I admit that my thinking is narrow-minded, but that’s just how I feel.”

She took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and looked intently at everyone.

"Instead of letting outsiders in and changing everything, why don't you all marry Lynn?"

“He has always been our partner, and he will be your husband in the future. We will still be as close as we are now, as partners and sisters. Nothing will change.”

"That's wonderful!"

Kaguya's statement left Ryu speechless.

She stammered, "But...but..."

"But what?" Kaguya interrupted her abruptly.

"This is just my opinion."

"Whether you like this guy or not is none of my business."

Kaguya's gaze swept over everyone in the car, her tone extremely serious.

"In short, I just hope that our Astrea Familia will never be separated, and that no one else will ever dilute or weaken the bond between us."

“Of course,” she glanced at Lynn, who was pretending to be asleep, “that bastard was an accident.”

"But, but..."

After saying that, Kaguya moved her body and came directly in front of Lynn.

Her face slowly moved closer.

Lynn could clearly sense the scent emanating from Kaguya, carrying a faint fragrance of cherry blossoms.

No kidding, when I kissed Kaguya before, her lips were sweet.

It's unbelievable that a woman with a sharp tongue and a bad temper could be so sweet.

As Kaguya's face drew closer, Lynn also "woke up".

Unsurprisingly, his cheek collided with Kaguya's.

Taking advantage of the moment, he quickly stole a peck on her lips.

Then, Lynn was the first to cover his forehead and cried out, "Ouch, what are you doing?"

Kaguya subconsciously covered her lips where she had been kissed, her cheeks flushing slightly. She then laughed and scolded, "I knew you were pretending to be asleep! So what? Did you hear me?"

"What?! I don't know!!!"

Lynn used the same trick again, glancing out the window and forcibly changing the subject, "Fenana Causeway, we're almost there."

Outside the carriage, the magnificent causeway left by the legendary hero Finn as he pierced the canyon with his spear came into view.

Not far from the causeway, a huge mound of earth lay quietly.

That was the target of the guild's commission: the Corrupt Giant Turtle.

The thing was completely still, its head and limbs invisible; it was simply a body covered in mud and moss.

The only difference was that the huge tortoise shell was covered with green buds of all sizes, enough to trigger trypophobia in anyone who looked at them.

These flower buds are as big as footballs, and they look like they're about to bloom.

But according to intelligence, it doesn't contain any beautiful flowers; instead, it contains a large number of poisonous insects.

Not far from the giant tortoise, several adventurers were keeping their distance and continuously throwing basic spells such as fireballs and waterballs at the tortoise's shell.

Each attack was spaced about ten seconds apart, and its power was only enough to kill one goblin.

Seeing that they were not far from the monster, the group got off the carriage.

Ryu's eyes were filled with confusion; "What are they doing?"

Leyana also sensed something was wrong; "They're using the lowest level of magic, so this attack is completely meaningless."

Lynn looked at the unresponsive giant tortoise and said thoughtfully, "They...it's like they're trying to provoke hatred."

"However, this giant tortoise doesn't seem to be reacting much."

"Attract hatred?" Kaguya looked at him in confusion. "You mean..."
