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

The residence of the Astrea Familia

Alexandra stood with her hands on her hips, directing several hired helpers as they set up the long table for the wedding.

Lyra and Isca argued over the color of a ribbon, with one insisting on black, the color that represents the night sky, while the other believed that the wedding must be pure white.

The effects of 50 million fares were immediate.

Lynn's fatigue has completely disappeared, and she has basically recovered.

He was basking in the sun by the window when he saw Kaguya and Ryū sitting on a bench under a tree.

Liu was holding a list, seemingly checking the guests' names.

Kaguya simply sat quietly, her gaze drifting towards the busy figures in the distance.

"You just entrusted the wedding decorations to Alexandra like that?" Liu's voice was soft, but it reached Lynn's ears clearly. "The things she chose may not necessarily suit your taste."

Upon hearing this, Kaguya's lips curled into a very faint smile.

That smile no longer held its usual sharpness, but rather a gentle, settled quality.

"It doesn't matter."

"I've never thought about these things. I've never thought about getting married."

She paused, her gaze seemingly passing through the noisy courtyard and landing on some unseen place.

"It's unbelievable that I'm getting married the day after tomorrow. Now that I think about it, the most important thing about a wedding is the 'people'."

"The person who will become my husband in the future is the most important."

Liu nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

She put down the list and thought of the traditions of her race;

"When we elves have a wedding, we must have the most beautiful flower crowns."

"It is woven from many different kinds of flowers, and the wedding venue will be covered with flowers."

Kaguya's eyes flickered, as if a memory had been stirred.

She muttered to herself unconsciously.

"Flowers..."

"My favorite is the moonflower."

“However, Yulari doesn’t have it.”

Ryu stopped moving; "Moonflower? Those little white flowers that emit a faint glow in the sunlight?"

Kaguya looked at her with some surprise; "You knew?"

“Hmm.” Ryu nodded. “When I first arrived in Yulari, I came from the east. I saw that flower in the forest of Bio Valley.”

“Bio Valley?” Kaguya frowned. “The Bio Valley where the black dragon scales are placed?”

101. Don't mention taking a bath again. (53 Book Club)

Beau Valley.

It is said that the scales that Albert, the mercenary king, shot down during his battle with the fairy Aria against the black dragon fell to that place.

However, over the years, many people have searched for it but have found nothing.

Furthermore, there were some monsters that roamed out before the Tower of Babel existed, and they lingered in the valley. However, because there were many adventurers searching for them, many of the monsters were eliminated.

In the core area alone, there are several powerful monsters.

Ryu nodded. "Yes, it's the valley where the black dragon scales are stored."

Kaguya shook her head;

"It's too far."

"The round trip will take at least three days. Everyone's injuries have just healed, and there's still a lot to prepare. Let's forget about it."

She stood up, patted the wrinkles on her clothes, and resumed her usual capable demeanor.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to check on that idiot, Layla."

Liu watched her departing figure without saying another word.

Lynn, leaning against the window, listened to every word of the conversation that had just taken in.

……

After a long time, Ryu was alone sorting through the gifts that the guests had brought.

A figure appeared silently beside her.

“Liu”.

Liu turned around and saw it was Lynn.

"I want to go to the Bio Valley."

Liu's pupils contracted slightly. She glanced around and lowered her voice.

"You were eavesdropping on our conversation?"

Lynn showed no embarrassment whatsoever; on the contrary, she was quite self-righteous.

"You've seen my body, and I've seen yours. It's just a few words, it's okay."

He took a step forward, closing the distance between them; "And that wasn't eavesdropping, I just happened to overhear it."

A blush crept onto Liu's cheeks, and she turned her head away. "Don't bring up the bathing thing again."

“None of that matters.” Lynn’s voice became serious. “Take me to Bio Valley.”

“It’s too late,” Ryu retorted immediately. “The wedding is the day after tomorrow.”

Lynn's lips curled up. "The flying mounts of the Ganesha Familia, do you remember them?"

"Rent one, the fastest way is a round trip in a day."

"There's definitely enough time."

"Then, I'll give Kaguya a surprise~".

Ryu fell silent.

She looked at Lynn, at the seriousness in his eyes.

That seriousness wasn't for fighting, nor for justice; it was simply to make Kaguya happy.

A vague and inexplicable emotion swept through Liu's heart.

It has a slightly sour taste.

But more than anything, I was happy for my friends.

Ryu raised her head, her golden eyes meeting Lynn's gaze.

"it is good."

She nodded.

"I'll take you there."

Alexandra's room,

When Lynn pushed the door open and came in, she was examining a candlestick.

“Alicie”.

Alexie turned around and saw Lynn and Liu standing side by side, a knowing smile appearing on her face.

"Oh, groom, you've finally left your comfortable life behind?"

“I need your help,” Lynn said bluntly.

“Speak.” Alexie plopped back into her chair and crossed her legs.

“Ryu and I are going out for a bit, we’ll probably be back tomorrow afternoon.” Lynn’s gaze swept over the other people in the room. “This matter absolutely cannot be known to Kaguya.”

Alexie raised an eyebrow, her scrutinizing gaze shifting back and forth between Lynn and Liu.

"You two... went out alone?"

There was a hint of amusement in her voice.

Ryu's cheeks flushed slightly, but she still stepped forward and explained calmly.

"It's for Kaguya's wedding."

"Oh?" Alexandra's interest grew even stronger.

“A surprise,” Lynn said succinctly.

Alexandra stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

"Okay! I'll keep it a secret for you!" She patted her chest loudly. "But you'd better come back quickly, or I'm afraid I won't be able to control my mouth!"

"Thank you."

Lynn nodded and turned to leave with Liu.

The two left their residence and entered the bustling streets of Yulali.

As soon as Lynn and Liu stepped out of the street corner, gazes were cast upon them as if they were real.

At first they were whispering, but soon someone recognized them.

"It's...it's from the Astrea Familia!"

"That elf! It's Ryu Leon!"

"The man next to her... that's Lynn! The hero from the poster!"

A dwarf fruit vendor grabbed a handful of the reddest apples and tried to stuff them into Lynn's arms, shouting, "Heroes don't take money!"

Several young adventurers shouted at Lynn from afar, but dared not approach, their faces filled with excitement and awe.

Lynn felt like a rare animal being watched.

This feeling is strange.

"Go this way."

Ryu's voice rang in my ears.

She tugged at Lynn's sleeve and turned into a narrow alley.

She knew Yullali's alleyways like the back of her hand, and the two of them traversed the intricate paths, leaving the frenzied wave behind them far behind.

"It seems that the title of 'hero' can be quite troublesome sometimes," Lynn teased as he followed behind Liu.

Liu's steps did not stop, her golden braids drawing a graceful arc behind her.

"You'll get used to it." Her voice was very calm.

Lynn shrugged; "Hopefully this storm will pass soon!"

The two walked in silence, their footsteps echoing in the empty alleyway.

Lynn looked at the slender and upright figure in front of her.

Liu's every step was precise and efficient, avoiding the puddles and debris on the ground, without any unnecessary swaying.

“Liu”.

"Ok?"

"thank you."

Ryu paused, turning her head slightly. "Why are you thanking me?"

“For Kaguya, and for me.” Lynn’s expression was very serious. “Without you, I could never find Bio Valley by myself.”

Ryu turned back and continued walking forward; "I just... wanted to make Kaguya happier."

Her voice was soft; "Besides, you saved us all, and I should thank you."

“Indeed, it’s a bit awkward to say thank you like this.” Lynn smiled. “We’re all family, so from now on, I won’t say thank you, and neither will you.”

Liu's steps suddenly stopped.
