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

"Let's leave for a bit."

"it is good--"

The two of them returned shortly afterward, but the difference was that Yoshihara Mana was wearing heavy makeup, while Hanami was holding a rope of unknown purpose.

Aina Yoshihara slammed her wine glass down in front of Sakura Dokushima: "Come on, have a drink with me!"

"Who are you, friend?" Sakurako Busujima's lips twitched. Was there such a person at the dinner table just now? Wait, why is that blue-haired guy staring at me with that rope?

When Banami saw the look that Busujima Sakurako was giving her, she smiled and nodded.

If it weren't for Banami's plan to tie him up and throw him into the sea while he was drunk, everything would have seemed quite harmonious.

Mana Yoshihara moved closer to Sakurako Busujima: "I have a few more questions for you."

"Huh? Why?" Sakurako Busujima frowned. Was this guy's makeup a bit too heavy?

"You bastard!" Yoshihara Aina's eyes widened. "You came here with ulterior motives, didn't you?"

Sakurako Busujima was shocked. Had her plan to take advantage of Sangkai been seen through?

But what can you do? Did you do anything wrong?

Sakurako Busujima crossed her black-stockinged legs, crossed her arms over her chest, and said nonchalantly, "What? Is it not allowed?"

Aina Yoshihara gripped her wine glass tightly: "What if I say no?"

Sakurako Busujima raised an eyebrow and placed her half-empty glass on the table: "I was thinking, everyone in the club is pursuing different things, right?"

Aina Yoshihara slightly widened her eyes.

Sakurako Busujima continued calmly, "I won't be satisfied with this childish relationship. If there's no destiny, I'll force one."

Aina Yoshihara remained silent.

Sakurako Busujima raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you going to say something?"

Aina Yoshihara lowered her head slightly: "Indeed... it was just drinking and playing naked together every day..."

"Playing naked together every day?!" Sakurako Busujima looked at Aina Yoshihara, who was deep in thought and muttering something, with some shock.

This person... whether it's the heavy makeup or the incredibly pretentious remarks...

I get it! This guy—

She's a bitch!!!

Sakurako Busujima stood up and said somewhat speechlessly, "I didn't expect you to make a move against him."

"How did you know?!" Yoshihara Aina was shocked. Did everyone already know that she liked Kohei?

The next second, sparks flew between the two women.

"Country folks shouldn't meddle in other people's business!"

"Huh? These are my lines!"

"You speak with such a heavy accent!"

"Your accent is really heavy!!"

Lu Nan looked speechlessly at the two who were making a big fuss, and at the person behind Yoshihara Mana who couldn't help but start watching the drama unfold.

"What on earth are these guys doing...?"

------

Just a quick reply to everyone: Yes, yes, it would be stupid to write that and not accept it. The explanation for the marriage line will follow later; it was just a little clever touch. Thanks, meow~

Chapter 288 Complex Relationships

"Haha, who knows?" Hamaoka Azusa chuckled helplessly, then looked at Lu Nan: "Those three haven't come back yet."

Lu Nan asked in confusion, "What's wrong? You must have something to say, or maybe Iori accidentally fell into the sea and the other two are trying to rescue him."

Hamaoka Azusa leaned on Lu Nan's shoulder: "How should I put it, I'm a little worried."

"What are you worried about?"

"Ha, it's nothing, it's probably just needless worry. Let's not talk about this anymore, I'm so tired, feed me."

"Okay, okay~"

……

"Sorry for keeping you from having your meal," said Otoya Naomi apologetically to the two people behind her.

"It's nothing, what is it you wanted to ask?" Chisa said.

"Yeah, just say it directly, no need to be so polite, we're all buddies." Iori really liked Shanghai. He had a good personality, was a great diver, and was quite different from the people around him. This guy was a completely normal person!

This is incredibly rare, you know?

"Yes, I know it's sudden, but I still wanted to ask." Otoya Naomi blushed slightly, a little embarrassed: "Excuse me, do you have a lover?"

Seeing the two of them looking somewhat stunned, Otoya Naomi awkwardly looked away: "Sorry for asking you this all of a sudden, but I'm a little bothered by it anyway..."

"I really feel..."

"Lu Nan is an outstanding person!"

Chisa froze on the spot, while Iori instinctively covered her forehead, wondering if she had misheard or missed something.

He picked at his ear, then pinched his thigh hard. Okay, it wasn't a dream, which meant it was real.

Oh no, this guy isn't a completely normal person either!

Looking at Otsuya Naomi, who was eagerly awaiting an answer, Iori felt a headache coming on. But Lu Nan didn't seem like the kind of person who could accept this situation.

Should I just say it directly? Won't that hurt his feelings? But wouldn't it be worse if I didn't say it directly?

Finally, Iori made up his mind. He scratched his head and said, "Ah, if you're asking about Lu Nan, he does have a girlfriend. The one you saw in the shop, Hamaoka Azusa-senpai, is her. There's another one who didn't come to the shop..."

Otoya Naoki lowered his eyes, but he wasn't actually too upset, because he could tell something from the conversation between Lu Nan and that senior student Azusa, as well as their subconscious closeness.

He already knew; he just wanted to confirm it, but ultimately he was still a little sad.

"Is that so? Ahaha, sorry to bother you." Otoya Naomi let out a long sigh of relief, looking somewhat relieved.

He knew he was at peace with himself, but others might not understand. Right now, Iori saw this guy as a walking suicide bomber, who knows when he might explode.

What if on the way back, someone gets really upset and starts cosplaying as Rose and Jack on the coastal highway, saying "If you jump, I'll jump too," and then does a leap of faith? Wouldn't that be awful?

Iori quickly stepped forward and patted Otsuya Naomi on the shoulder, laughing, "Hey, Naomi-kun, don't be sad. How should I put it, a good partner is like this ocean. This ocean is very beautiful and vast, but there are other places that also have an equally beautiful and vast ocean."

Otoya Naomi looked up at Iori in a daze: "Is...is that so?"

Iori smiled and gave a thumbs up: "That's right, that's right. I think people as good at diving as you have a common trait: they never stagnate. They're all brave and resilient. So these things don't matter. I believe in you, Shanghai-kun. I'm still looking forward to going diving in Palau with you!"

What the talkative Iori didn't know was that when a person is sad, their defenses are often at their weakest.

Otoya Naomi's fingers unconsciously twisted together, and a blush crept onto her face again: "Iori-san is also a very outstanding person..."

"Haha, right! I think so too!" Iori laughed heartily, putting his arm around Otsuya Naomi's shoulder: "You really have good taste, you understand me!"

"Iori-san, would you believe in... love at first sight?"

"Me? I'm alright, I don't know much about these things. Let's go back to eat, it's so hot outside." Iori just wanted to get this guy back to Grand Blue as soon as possible, otherwise what if he really decided to become a zombie thief and fly underwater to catch sea cucumbers?

Chisa tried to interject several times but couldn't find an opportunity. At this moment, looking at the two people's backs, she felt something was wrong.

For the first time, she felt a very, very strong sense of threat, something she was usually rather slow to grasp at any topic except the sea.

No, something's not right. It seems like something has gone bad.

……

"What are you talking about?" Lu Nan was pulled to the balcony by Qian Sha for a private meeting, and after listening to her, he felt that his worldview was about to be reshaped.

"You mean my male colleague, whom I've known for less than two weeks, seems to like me a little, and then got a bit heartbroken after finding out I have a girlfriend. After Iori comforted him a bit, he seems to like Iori now? Is this really Chinese?" Lu Nan rubbed his face, feeling that human civilization might be in grave danger this time.

"I can hardly believe it, but what I'm saying is true." Chisa's face was very serious.

"No, no matter what you say..."

"Then let's ask Shanghai to come out and ask him."

……

"Eh? Your opinion on Iori-kun?" Otoya Naomi asked, somewhat surprised and embarrassed. "Why would you ask that?"

Lu Nan chuckled and said, "Hey, you know, I'm just worried that my friends' excitement might upset you, right? So I'm asking for your opinion, whether you've been offended or anything?"

Otoya Naomi waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, Iori-san is very interesting and a very nice person. I didn't feel offended at all!"

"So that means you're interested in Iori..." Lu Nan chose to go straight to the point.

Otoya Naoki panicked even more, his hands practically flailing like fans: "No, no, no, I... I just... I'm just a little bit interested in Iori-san..."

Now Lu Nan understood perfectly well that things were in trouble. If Du Dao found out about this, she would probably expose him on the spot.

After seeing Otoya Naomi off, Chisa peeked out from behind the door: "I told you so, didn't I?"

Lu Nan was speechless: "No, that's right, but the key question is what to do now."

"That's why I came to ask you..."

Lu Nan grinned, the key issue being that he had no idea what to do in this situation.

"Since things have come to this, why don't we try to subtly gauge Iori's opinion first..."

Chapter 289 Get Rid of Him

"But I might need to figure out how to stabilize another bomb later, so we'll mainly have to rely on you here, Chisa." Lu Nan said seriously.

"Ok!"

However, the two ran into Iori when they returned from the balcony.

"Hey, what were you two talking about on the balcony just now?" Iori asked curiously. He saw Lu Nan and Chisa when he went over there to get a drink of water. Lu Nan's expression at the time was like he was constipated because he found out his brother was about to get married.

This aroused his great curiosity.

"I'm leaving now." Lu Nan ran away at lightning speed, leaving Qian Sha wondering whether to stay or leave.
