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

"Huh? Are you out of your mind?" She stood up and gestured to her wetsuit. "Wearing something like this, I can't show him my swimsuit, can I?"

"Teaming up with Shang Hai will only cause him trouble." Sakura Tokushima shook her head slightly, seemingly regretting Lu Nan's intelligence.

"So you don't mind causing me trouble?" Lu Nan rolled his eyes. "I thought you would make a mistake and he would have to take care of you."

Sakurako Busujima crossed her arms and said, "Making someone who makes a mistake look pitiful also requires acting skills."

"Okay, okay, but to be honest, I think you're overthinking it." A strange smile gradually appeared on Lu Nan's face.

"What do you mean?"

Lu Nan smiled and pointed at Nana Hua who was walking over: "Because guests like you who are doing introductory diving need to team up with an instructor."

Sakurako Busujima watched as Nanaka swayed back and forth, waving and shouting, "Sakurako-san, team up with me!" and twitched the corner of her mouth.

She walked over dejectedly, as if all her strength and willpower had been drained away: "Please..."

"Please take care of me!"

Lu Nan shook his head. This guy really is a bit neurotic.

He glanced at Otoya Naomi and Iori, who were chatting happily on the other side, and raised his eyebrows in surprise. When did these two become so close?

……

Diving is a joyful experience, and Lu Nan can't help but feel a sense of emotion every time he sees these lively and harmless little creatures.

Isn't this much cuter than those super-male little animals from the original world?

During halftime, Lu Nan was chatting with his seniors.

"That's really surprising," Senior Ashi said. "To have such a level of skill in high school is amazing."

Lu Nan asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"His diving skills are amazing," Senior Ah Shou said. "They're almost at the level of a standard instructor, and he's nearly as good as Dai Miao."

"In a sense, it's the opposite of Iori's talent," Senior Ashi said with a chuckle.

"Hey! That's a bit much!" Iori muttered, somewhat dissatisfied. "I tried my best too!"

"What's most admirable is that [his actions are all for the sake of making sure everyone has a good time]," Senior Shi said somewhat seriously.

"If someone swims too far, we'll swim over to get closer to them so they don't fall behind."

"We will pay attention to the fish species that are unique to this time of year and subtly attract them to our area."

Senior Ashi remarked with some emotion, "I guess he mastered the skills without even realizing it by taking care of the juniors in the club."

"Let's observe during the second dive," Senior Ashou said.

……

"That's what the seniors said." Lu Nan said, leaning against the fence, while Sakurako Busujima, who was standing next to him, glanced at him.

“I see…” Sakurako Busujima suddenly became happy: “Shanghai is so smart and has such a great personality, he’s really amazing.”

“Yes, that’s why,” Lu Nan said with a smile, “Isn’t that enough?”

"Why did you just conclude it all by yourself? You have this 'You're already so outstanding, you should probably give up by now' look on your face!"

Busujima crossed her arms, looking somewhat annoyed: "Do you have feelings for me?"

"Hahaha, you're making those disgusting jokes again." Lu Nan laughed and waved his hand: "Stop it, we're going to go into the sea later, you'll laugh yourself to death."

"You bastard, violent man..."

"Everyone! Round two is about to begin!"

……

Iori looked at Otoya Naomi and Chisa walking side by side ahead.

Just as his seniors said, he always made sure everyone had a great time, and he himself also had a lot of fun.

They might even look quite alike...

……

Because there were so many people today, the girls occupied the indoor bathrooms to wash their wetsuits, while the water taps outside were given to the boys.

"Dumb Meow, go wash your hands and go play. You can give yours to the boss." Lu Nan took the wetsuit from Dumb Meow and patted the little guy's head.

"Thank you, Boss Meow!" Silly Meow saluted.

"Yeah, remember to run away as soon as you see that pink-haired crazy woman, or you'll get caught."

"Okay, meow!"

After watching Dai Miao leave, Lu Nan rolled up his sleeves and began to wash his diving suit.

“Lu Nan…you have the air of a good husband,” said Otoya Naoki, turning his gaze away.

"That guy, he's got a bit of a domestic side," Iori said with a chuckle. "You might not believe it, but I once said that if I were to live with someone, I'd prefer Lu Nan, but I got a really bad beating afterward."

Behind Iori, Otoya Naomi's eyes sparkled as she looked at Iori.

The two had already washed their diving suits and were carrying basins to dry them.

“Speaking of which, Kitahara-kun is surrounded by some very unique people.” Otoya Naomi: “Although we haven’t known each other for long, everyone seems to be very interesting.”

Iori chuckled and said, "Yeah, like ocean fanatics, anime otaku, love-obsessed people, harem kings and fake social butterflies, and my seniors who are alcoholics. They like to take off their clothes when they drink together. Thanks to them, I often get the cold shoulder."

"Hahaha."

“But what about me?” Iori pushed open the door, looked at the lively crowd inside, and said with a smile, “To those guys who just say ‘I like you’…”

"I quite like it."

Chapter 287 Struggle

"Well then... thank you all for your hard work!" Senior Shi raised his glass high: "Cheers!"

"cheers!!!"

Looking at the sashimi laid out on the table, Otoya Naomi exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! Is this sashimi?"

"Yes, the shop manager brings them over occasionally, but usually it's Dai-Nyan who handles them." Iori seemed a little proud for some reason.

"What are you so proud of? This is my child." Lu Nan hugged the silly cat tightly with a wary look on his face, and casually slapped away the hand that a pink-haired person was sneaking out.

"Tch, how stingy." Seeing that she had no chance to get close to the dork, Sakurako Busujima moved closer to Naomi Otsuya and started making conversation: "What a coincidence that we're here today."

That's exactly what I meant!

Kohei, sitting opposite him, shuddered when he saw Sakurako Busujima sitting across from him.

He tugged at Iori's sleeve, who was happily eating nearby, and whispered tremblingly, "Iori, let's switch seats, please, strangers are scary!"

"Hey, just sit still and don't look at the other side. Come on, come on, have some food." Iori reached out and stuffed a handful of side dishes into Kohei's mouth.

"Everyone, eat more!" Nana said with a smile, putting down another plate of food.

"It's delicious." Otsuya Naomi was enjoying her meal, but without noticing, she accidentally splashed some sauce onto her collar.

Sakurako Busujima happened to see this, and while reaching out to wipe his collar with a tissue, she said, "You spilled soy sauce on yourself, didn't you?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't notice..." Otoya Naomi stood up somewhat awkwardly: "I'll go change into my sun-protective clothing."

"Where's Shanghai's sun protection clothing?" Iori asked vaguely.

Chisa said, "Shouldn't it be drying in the laundry area?"

Shanghai looked at Iori somewhat embarrassedly: "Sorry... Could you please show me the way, Kitahara-kun? I don't know the way very well."

Iori paused for a moment, then nodded: "Of course."

Chisa, somewhat uneasy, also stood up, worried that Iori might not be reliable: "I'll go with you too."

"Thank you so much!"

Hamaoka Azusa watched the three of them leave, biting her chopsticks in thought. She felt there was something strange about the atmosphere between them...

Lu Nan looked at Kohei beside him, who was staring at Busujima Sakurako in a way that was unusual for him.

"Kouhei, what's wrong with you?" Lu Nan asked, somewhat puzzled. Had this guy changed his ways?

Kohei stroked his chin, looking at Sakurako Busujima across from him: "After seeing that scene just now, I was thinking..."

"Have we met somewhere before?"

Sakurako Busujima was startled, and with a guilty smile, said, "I've never seen you before~"

"But it does seem to be there..."

Kohei began to think to himself.

Sakurako Busujima couldn't hold back any longer and quickly slipped to Lu Nan's side, whispering, "What are we going to do now?"

"You ask me what to do... tsk, this is a bit tricky..." Lu Nan's fingers unconsciously began to rub together.

Sakurako Busujima gritted her teeth and extended one finger.

Lu Nan's eyes widened: "No, that's my good brother! My dearest friend and family! My sworn brother!"

"So you mean you're just going to ignore it?" Sakurako Busujima raised an eyebrow.

"No, I mean it has to cost more."

Sakurako Busujima helplessly raised another finger.

Lu Nan then smiled and said, "Okay, deal. This is very simple. We just need to beat this guy, Gengping, until he loses his memory."

Sakurako Busujima was delighted: "To be honest, I really like this about you, Lu Nan. I'll leave it to you then."

Lu Nan gave an OK sign, smiled, and pulled away Geng Ping, who was still thinking.

On the other side, Yoshihara Aina and Hanami both froze.

What Yoshihara Mana heard: ...Kouhei...likes...

What Banami heard: ...Lunan...likes...

Hamaoka Azusa looked at Yoshihara Aina and Hanami, who hadn't moved for several minutes, with some confusion: "What's wrong with you two little girls? Did you not like the food today?"

"No, it's nothing."
