Crossover Anime: Miss, please don't do this, I still have a silly cat to raise.

"Let's wear a kimono."

These two are a case of one daring to ask and the other daring to answer, but as for whether they're right or wrong...

Koshino: None of them are right!

My favorite food is donuts! As for electronics, it's more accurate to say it's my forte than something I'm bad at. I only wear kimonos because my parents like them; it's not really about whether I like them or not.

However, in order to maintain her brother-obsessed persona, Shiori could only clap her hands in surprise and sigh softly, "I'm truly amazed by how well my brother understands me."

"That's wonderful." Iori crossed her arms and smiled broadly.

Hamaoka Azusa, however, found this quite interesting and tugged at Lu Nan: "Why don't you give it a try?"

Lu Nan looked down, somewhat puzzled: "What do you mean? Are you asking me?"

Hamaoka Azusa nodded: "Yeah, yeah, those are the questions, how about it?"

Lu Nan stroked his chin and thought for a while before saying, "Your favorite food is okonomiyaki, which you are best at making. You are not good at handling emotional scenes. Although your clothing policy is to dress comfortably, your favorite thing is probably my shirt."

Hamaoka Azusa narrowed her eyes in satisfaction and reached out to pinch Lu Nan's muscles: "The little guy really understands me, he saw right through me."

Kohei looked up in confusion: "Why do I suddenly smell a sour, pungent scent of love? Where is it coming from? That's really strange."

Banami, pouting, squeezed in and asked expectantly, "What about me? What about me?"

Lu Nan glanced at the guy and said helplessly, "You can eat anything, but you can't handle anything. You look pretty much the same no matter what you wear. How am I supposed to answer you?"

"Damn it! This is unfair! You can't treat everyone equally! I forbid you from having a harem!"

"You're talking nonsense again."

Ignoring the commotion, Nanaka turned to Shiori and said, "By the way, Shiori, if you don't have any plans later, why don't you come with us?"

Xiao Shioren was slightly taken aback: "Are you talking about diving?"

Chisa nodded and said expectantly, "If you'd like to try it... it's a rare opportunity, why not come with us? Diving is fun and exciting!"

Xiao Shi hesitated, because if she went diving now, it would mean supporting her brother's hobby, which would be an obstacle to her plan to bring him home.

However, denying diving under these circumstances wouldn't do any good, so let's try refusing it for now.

"I'm sorry, I don't need it."

"Are you worried about anything? Are you afraid of water?" Chisa asked anxiously.

"No, not at all," Koshino said somewhat embarrassedly. "It's too much trouble for everyone, and I didn't bring my swimsuit with me."

"No problem, no trouble at all, you can use mine!"

"Mine are fine too, they're all unused."

Koshino still hesitated when she saw the swimsuits in Nanaka and Chisa's hands.

Iori leaned closer and said, "Can I borrow it for a moment?"

Xiao Shian sighed: "No, still not..."

Iori clapped her hands in understanding: "Oh, I see. Your size doesn't match."

Xiao Shiori's face stiffened, and she almost couldn't resist turning her head and throwing a straight punch at Iori's stomach.

What is this idiot guy even saying?! Bastard!

Koshino took a deep breath: "But just as my brother said, making me wear my sisters' swimsuits is really..."

Banai gestured for a moment, then sighed, "I don't think I can help either."

As for Hamaoka Azusa, needless to say.

Iori scratched her head: "How about I lend you my swimsuit?"

Koshino couldn't hold back: "...You mean my body shape is like a man's washboard?"

But at that moment, a blue-haired girl staggered towards Shiori; she was none other than the most regrettable person in Peek a Boo, Yoshihara Aina.

Yoshihara Mana held up her swimsuit, her expression inscrutable, but everyone who saw her was heartbroken and shed tears for her.

"My swimsuit... size... might... fit perfectly..."

She said it was extremely difficult, after all, it's too difficult for a college student to admit that her body shape is the same as that of a junior high school student.

This heavy feeling left Xiao Kan at a loss for how to cope.

But in the end, she refused: "Let me admire my brother's heroic figure from the shore."

Iori sighed, "Since Shiori has said so, then I won't force her..."

"Wait! This is for you!"

With a loud shout, Kohei threw something at me. Iori caught it quickly and looked at it, then was completely dumbfounded.

"Holy crap! This is a one-piece swimsuit for elementary school kids, you bastard!"

Iori, terrified, threw what she was holding to the ground and staggered back, shouting, "Call the police! There's a fucking pervert here in Lunan!"

"Ok!"

"Don't call the police, Lu Nan! This is a misunderstanding!"

Kohei picked up the swimsuit and said, "Don't worry, it's never been used."

Iori twitched her lips: "If it had been used, I'd be trembling on the ground in fear."

In the end, Shiori still didn't agree to go diving together, even though Chisa brought her own short-sleeved shirt and shorts.

The group had no choice but to hand her over to Uncle Kotegawa, and then they all went into the water.

The assessments for Lu Nan and the other two still need to continue; the sooner they finish, the sooner they can relax.

Chapter 252 Valuable Treasures

Once everyone had gone into the water, Xiao Shi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Uncle Kotegawa handed me a bottle of mineral water.

Xiao Kan thanked him, took the drink, and took a small sip.

Everything was very restrained and elegant, like a pre-programmed mini-program that was pleasing to the eye.

"Does Shiori hate the sea?" Uncle Kotegawa suddenly asked.

"Eh?"

When suddenly asked, Xiao Shi's mind raced with thoughts. Although she couldn't say she liked it, it was her uncle's job after all, so it was better to give a positive answer.

"Although I don't go swimming often, I think it's a very attractive place."

Uncle Kotegawa laughed heartily: "That's a clever answer that takes other people's feelings into account."

"Oh no……"

"But that's precisely why Shiori should probably try diving once," Uncle Kotegawa said, looking at the shimmering sea. "It's a very valuable asset for a smart child."

"Time to clear your mind in nature, a relaxing time where you don't have to care about anything."

Uncle Kotegawa smiled and pointed to the spot where people came ashore: "If you see them having a good time later, why don't you try diving too?"

Xiao Kan pursed her lips.

Diving? While I'm not particularly interested, getting my brother back to our hometown is more important to me. Besides, I don't think they're happy at all—

Xiao Shian saw it, saw a carefree smile on her older brother's face that she had never seen before, a smile that was so happy, so...enviable.

When everyone came up, they saw Xiao Shi, who was wearing short sleeves and shorts and looking a little awkward.

"Um, I'd like to try diving too..."

Nanaka leaned closer: "Then come with me."

"Ah, no, I want to go with my brother."

Iori sighed, "But I'm still taking exams."

Chisa nodded: "I will try my best to get you closer to Iori."

"I will try my best to get closer to her!" Kohei said with a determined look on his face.

"If I see you within five meters of her, I'll punch you straight out of the ocean," Lu Nan said with a smile.

"Meow!" The silly cat waved its little fist.

……

Koshino opened her eyes hesitantly. Oh, is this the view from the sea?

Perhaps it was because of the rain a few days ago that the sea didn't look that beautiful...

but……

Whether it's the rising bubbles in the water or the sound of stones colliding in the waves...

Even though I'm with other people, I can't hear them; even though I'm with other people, I don't need to pay special attention to what I say...

This incredible period of time might actually be a valuable asset in my life.

……

"Now let's begin with a welcome party for Shiori and a celebration for those three idiots getting their diving licenses!"

"cheers!!"

"cheers!!!"

Lu Nan casually handed the license to Dai Miao; generally speaking, this kind of thing is like a driver's license and doesn't have much use.

It can only play its due role in a fixed scenario.

"I didn't expect Iori to actually pass. I thought he was doomed after that failed attempt with neutral buoyancy."

"What a joke! That was just an accident! If I hadn't caught a cold, it would have been all taken care of by now!"

"district?"

"!?! Merely?!"

"Damn it!"
