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

"Are you some kind of system or possessed? Tell me, tell me, you son of a bitch!"

Kohei scoffed, arms crossed: "What a joke! Do you even know what a chef's superhuman strength is? Do you know what it means to generate electricity for love?!"

Iori asked, "Are you drawing a lewd book?"

Lu Nan stroked his chin and replied, "No, it's definitely the kind of erotic and bizarre doujinshi like 'Miss April Sheep'."

"Bullshit!" Kohei retorted loudly, "Lara is definitely a virgin forever, there's no doubt about that!!"

Iori was somewhat speechless: "Isn't there something wrong with your rebuttal? And isn't forever a bit too pathetic?"

"Alright, alright, stop arguing like that. Can you all be a little more civilized, you two idiots?" Lu Nan started looking around. "Instead of this, let's hurry up and find something valuable."

"Yes, let's find something that can be sold for a high price."

"It sounds like a thief broke in, but never mind, let's look for it first."

...The boy is searching...

What is this?

"This is an erotic book."

"What about this one!"

"This is an erotic doujinshi magazine."

"What about this one?!"

"This is an erotic game."

"Damn it!!" Lu Nan exclaimed in despair, "Why is your house full of erotic stuff?!"

In the end, the three of them still didn't find anything of value. Perhaps some magazines could be sold for a high price to certain people, but that would result in too slow a cash flow, which was not suitable for the current special circumstances.

"Does this mean I have no choice but to sell a kidney now?" Kohei asked, holding his diving suit with a look of pure joy on his face.

Yay! Mizuki-sama's diving suit is mine!

Lu Nan rolled his eyes, interrupting the guy's daydream: "Actually, this is the diving suit that we stole from our uncle."

Kohei froze on the spot, then collapsed to his knees, utterly unable to accept the fact.

"Damn it! You two bastards!!!"

Chapter 306 Open Source and Cost Reduction (Bonus Chapter for Bounty, Thank You All)

"Since things have come to this, I'll go back and see if there's anything I can sell." Lu Nan rubbed his temples. In this situation, he could only hope that many hands make light work.

Although he didn't have much spare money, he could still try to sell some of his unused items.

Iori sighed, "If you include my things, they're probably not worth much."

"Then we'll have to find another way. If increasing revenue isn't an option, we'll have to cut costs." Lu Nan pondered, "Do you think the Corpse-Mask Beast could handle eating only one meal a day?"

Iori couldn't hold back any longer: "Such a cost-cutting method? Won't you get hypoglycemia?"

Then, Iori had another idea: "Actually, the biggest expense in daily life should be rent, so..."

"That's a good idea. If the Corpse-Making Beast agrees, I'll go and discuss it with Nana-chan and the others."

……

In the afternoon, inside the Grand Bule, Lu Nan and his two companions found Yoshihara Aina.

"Mortal Beast, can you come with us for a moment?"

"We have something to say to you."

Although Yoshihara Aina was a little confused, she nodded and followed the three of them: "Eh? Oh, okay."

In the corridor, Iori asked, "We've heard about what happened."

"Huh? What?"

Kohei chimed in, "I heard you had to go back because of family reasons?"

Yoshihara Aina paused for a moment, then silently nodded, uttering a muffled nasal sound: "Mmm..."

Lu Nan asked, "What are you thinking? Do you want to go back?"

Yoshihara Aina clenched her fists tightly: "I...I don't want to go back!"

"I see." Kohei nodded. "Then we can stay here."

"Eh?" Yoshihara Aina seemed a little flustered at first: "But..."

Iori put her hands behind her head and said, "Although we may have some financial difficulties, we will support you."

“Although I don’t know how useful it will be…” Lu Nan opened the door in front of him: “But we have prepared things here that you might need.”

Aina Yoshihara fell silent, staring at the pile of incomprehensible DVDs, doujinshi and games, some old clothes and toys, diving gear, a pair of panties that looked familiar, and a bunch of dessert shop coupons. She was completely speechless.

"A corpse-making beast."

"If you don't mind."

Would you like to live here?

Yoshihara Aina was devastated: "What kind of shameful punishment game is this?!"

"No way!!!"

……

Five people and a cat sat silently around the square table.

Iori rested her chin on her hands: "That's strange, why was I rejected?"

Kohei nodded in agreement: "Yes, there's nothing inconvenient about it in terms of daily life."

Lu Nan rubbed Dai Miao's hands and said, "There's no other way. Those are the only things Dai Miao and I can take out."

Dumb Cat nodded: "Penny-poor, meow."

Banami twitched her lips: "What we're saying is, is it possible that they didn't actually have those kinds of thoughts in the first place?"

Chisa remained silent.

Just then, the seniors suddenly poked their heads out and called out to them, "Hey, you guys, could you come over here for a bit? We have something to announce."

"Okay!" ×5

Lu Nan sighed in frustration: "Does this mean we're going to announce the departure of the Corpse-Masking Beast soon?"

"Hey, don't talk like that." Banami glared at Lunan with displeasure. Doesn't that sound like Aina is about to kick the bucket?

Iori rubbed her hair: "Other ways..."

Kohei seemed to have seen through some reality, a glint in his eyes that others couldn't decipher: "Is there really no other way? It's alright, in the end..."

"So," Senior Ashi said with a smile, "Aina has to go back home for a while to help with farm work."

???

Doing? Farming? Work?

The group froze on the spot for a moment, but unnoticed by anyone, Kohei seemed to breathe a small sigh of relief.

Yoshihara Aina said with some regret, "Damn it, I didn't even have time to create any wonderful summer memories!"

Lu Nan suddenly turned his head and grabbed Iori and Kohei's shoulders tightly, his face contorted with rage: "Didn't you two talk to me about financial problems?!"

"But that's how we answer the phone!!!"

"That's right! It's things like chores and living expenses, okay?!"

Yoshihara Aina leaned closer: "Oh, you mean that? My parents did threaten me, saying they'd cut off my allowance if I didn't come home to help."

Lu Nan really didn't expect things to turn out this way in the end, but he could only accept the fact speechlessly. At least he wasn't forced to leave the club because of family reasons.

Yoshihara Mana finally understood why her friends had been acting strangely lately. It seemed like both the boys and girls were hiding something from her, making her feel like she was being ostracized, and she was even a little sad about it.

It turns out that these guys were trying to help her but didn't want to hurt her, so they could only awkwardly and clumsily express their kindness.

"Oh, I see~" Yoshihara Mana chuckled sheepishly. "Sorry to have worried you all~"

As she spoke, Yoshihara Mana hugged Chisa and Hanami tightly: "Waaah, thank you so much, Chisa and Hanami~ I thought you hated me and we weren't good sisters anymore!"

"You're hugging me too tightly..." Chisa silently complained.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Banami patted Aina's back.

Yoshihara Aina turned to the indignant boys and said, "Thanks to you guys too."

Looking at Gengping, her eyes flickered slightly, a smile passing through them.

Lu Nan crossed his arms: "What do you mean? You have no intention of helping me at all."

Iori crossed her arms: "Exactly, exactly, you're just being delusional, you corpse-beast."

Kohei crossed his arms: "Yeah, yeah, it's just because we're bored."

No one noticed that Kohei's voice was stronger than usual and that he seemed to be in a good mood.

Yoshihara Aina was somewhat exasperated: "So you three are really just old men who don't know how to get along with kids? You're so old-fashioned and rigid."

"However, it's true that I'll be leaving for a while," Yoshihara Aina said. "Don't create too many wonderful memories while I'm gone, okay?"

"Who cares about this kind of thing!" ×3

"But it's so unfair if only you guys have good memories!"

Senior Ah-Shi couldn't help but laugh as he watched the noisy newlyweds, and exclaimed, "It's so good to be young."

Senior A-Shou also said, "Yes, they gave it their all just because they didn't want to say goodbye. They're all really good guys."

Chapter 307 What does it mean that you won't be able to touch the ground today?

Lu Nan glanced at the time and stared at the flow of people coming and going at the station entrance.

The silly cat next to Lu Nan was playing Plants vs. Zombies, leaning against his leg.

It was obvious that they were waiting for someone.
