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

"I don't want to see this, sob sob..."

"Yes, Mom knows, Mom knows everything."

Mrs. Yotsuya hugged Miko Yotsuya tightly, gently patting her back as if trying to gently pat away all her sorrow.

"sister……"

Kyosuke Yotsuya stood to the side, his eyes red-rimmed: "I'll protect my sister from now on!"

Mamoru Yotsuya silently stepped forward and gave Miko Yotsuya and Mrs. Yotsuya a soft hug.

……

It took Yotsuya Miko a while to compose herself before she slowly began to recount her recent stories: about suddenly being able to see, about her first encounter with her senior, about Granny Saegusa, about the little gourd pendant that helped her fall asleep peacefully, about a certain fox…

Mrs. Yotsuya listened quietly, holding Yotsuya Miko's hand the whole time, as if that would give her strength.

Yotsuya Miko reached out and touched the little gourd on her chest: "So, Mom, I'm actually fine."

Mrs. Yotsuya was speechless. She knew, but she just couldn't accept it. In her memory, Yotsuya Miko was still that little girl who would scream at the sight of insects. How could she have gone through so much in the blink of an eye?

Kyosuke Yotsuya's attention was completely different. His mind was filled with thoughts of his brother-in-law, who could fight two opponents at once and end up killing one and capturing the other. That was simply... amazing!

Brother Nan was practically made to be my brother-in-law!

After saying a lot, Yotsuya Miko felt inexplicably tired and leaned on her mother's shoulder: "Actually, Mom, I'm also very lucky. After all, I met my senior, I met Grandma Saegusa, and Dad didn't leave..."

Mrs. Yotsuya nodded: "Yes, I was just saying I liked that young man, Koji. I think we should just pick a good day and get things done. Anyway, your birthday isn't far off."

Yotsuya Miko buried her head in her mother's arms: "Mom~ stop teasing me."

Mrs. Yotsuya patted Miko Yotsuya's head: "I'm not joking, your mother is serious. The sooner you make a move, the better. That Koji looks like the type that's very popular. You have to make a move early with the type like that. Your father and I did it back then..."

Mamoru Yotsuya quietly raised his hand: "Actually, I have a different opinion. I think we can observe it further..."

Yotsuya Miko looked up and said, "Mom, Dad said he doesn't agree."

Mrs. Yotsuya glared at him: "What?! You dare to disagree?! You just left us, a widow and her child, like that! Now that your daughter wants to pursue happiness, you're going to stop her?!"

Yotsuya Mamoru shrank back abruptly, weakly saying, "Miko, that's not what I meant just now, you know. I just felt it was too fast. Your mother is too easily swayed by emotions, I think..."

Yotsuya Miko opened her mouth and said, "Mom, Dad said he doesn't think highly of the senior, and he thinks you are very irrational and only act on emotion."

"I saw a child?!" Yotsuya Mamoru cried out in terror.

Mrs. Yotsuya smiled and said, "Is that so? Yotsuya Mamoru!"

"What did Koji do to you! You don't think he's good enough, but I think he's absolutely wonderful! Let me tell you, Yotsuya Mamoru! If I find out that you dare to interfere with my daughter's love life, I'll fill the bedroom with talismans to ward off evil spirits! You'll be sleeping on the sofa!"

Mamoru Yotsuya looked helplessly at Miko Yotsuya: "Miko, Dad just..."

Miko Yotsuya stood up, walked to the refrigerator, took out a box of small puddings, placed it on the table, and pushed the puddings in front of Mamoru Yotsuya.

Yotsuya Mamoru was stunned: "Meizi?"

Yotsuya Miko lowered her head and said softly, "I'm sorry, Dad. It's because of my stubbornness that you've become like this..."

She was furious because her father stole her pudding, and he went out to buy her more to cheer her up, which is how she ended up being...

"If only I hadn't been so stingy... if only I hadn't been so stingy, Dad..."

Mamoru Yotsuya's gaze softened, and he gently patted Miko Yotsuya's head. Although he couldn't touch her, Miko Yotsuya seemed to sense something and raised her head.

Mamoru Yotsuya chuckled and said, "Thank you, Miko, for the pudding. I've never blamed Miko. Dad only hopes that you will be happy every day and find your own happiness. Dad will always protect you."

François lowered his head: "Pudding..."

Yotsuya Mamoru said proudly, "Hey, I can't give this to you. My daughter gave it to me!"

Mrs. Yotsuya saw that Miko's eyes were red again. Miko had always believed that she was the one who killed Mamoru, so she was sometimes unwilling to step into that room when she was offering prayers.

It seems like a very good ending now.

"Oh dear, this is such a hassle. Will we have to add another serving of breakfast tomorrow? Even though someone won't get to eat it," Mrs. Yotsuya said with a light laugh.

"Dad said Mom is beautiful and kind-hearted, a truly one-of-a-kind woman."

That's...

Chapter 346 Heading to Iori's Hometown

"What's wrong? Why are you looking so gloomy?" Lu Nan picked up a fork of fried noodles and stuffed it into his mouth, mumbling, "I've been like this since early morning. Did I accidentally blow my gun at the ad dealer's place while watching a video last night?"

"No, I skipped that... That's not the point." Iori scratched his head and sighed, "It's about the passport issue. I just remembered that my passport is still at my hometown."

Lu Nan raised an eyebrow: "Then just call home and ask your family to send it back. It's not a big deal."

Iori slapped her forehead: "That's true."

As he spoke, he picked up his phone and made a call.

After a few words of gibberish, Iori hung up the phone, looking completely bewildered: "Uh, it was Shiori who answered the phone. I don't know why, but she said she would never send it over."

Lu Nan couldn't hold back and the fried noodles almost popped out of his nostrils.

Chisa shook her head slightly: "It's probably because I don't go home during my first summer vacation of freshman year."

Uncle Kotegawa said nonchalantly, "Since it's not going to be sent over, you can just go home and get it yourself. You still have a few days, don't you?"

Iori leaned back in her chair and sighed deeply: "That's what they say..."

Uncle Kotegawa asked, "What's wrong? Is something inconvenient?"

Iori squinted: "Because I keep feeling an unpleasant aura pressing against my back."

Behind him, Kohei, dressed in full gear and carrying a suitcase, stood at the door with a solemn expression, as if preparing to embark on a great pilgrimage.

……

On the train, Lu Nan, speechless, hugged Dai Miao and asked, "Why do I have to go too?"

Iori smiled wryly and pointed to Kohei, who was looking rather excited, next to him: "If this guy goes berserk, I think only you can guarantee that you can hold him back."

Lu Nan nodded: "That makes sense."

Chisa pointed to herself: "What about me? Why do I have to come along too?"

Iori chuckled: "Don't say that."

"Iori, do you drink beer?" Kohei placed a can of beer in front of Iori.

Iori looked at Chisa and said, "Chisa hasn't been to our Kitahara Inn for a long time, has she?"

Chisa nodded: "That's true."

"Iori, your collar is crooked." Kohei reached out and helped straighten Iori's collar.

Iori's temples bulged with veins, but she still managed to hold back her words: "My parents really want to meet you too—"

Chisa didn't speak, but Kohei took out a box: "Iori, is it okay if I bring some yokan (sweet bean jelly) as a gift for your parents?"

Iori couldn't take it anymore and suddenly grabbed Kohei's collar, saying coldly, "Lunan, open the car window, I need to throw out the trash."

"ok~"

"Even if you throw me out now, I'll definitely come back with you!!" Kohei struggled frantically in Iori's arms.

In the end, Iori still couldn't get rid of this huge piece of trash.

Lu Nan, Iori, and Chisa gathered together, along with a little silly cat.

Iori asked in a low voice, "What do we do now? How do we get rid of this guy?"

Lu Nan rubbed his chin: "In my opinion, we should just knock them out. Wouldn't that calm things down?"

Chisa's eye twitched: "Won't this attract the flight attendants?"

Iori nodded repeatedly: "It is indeed a good method, but if you don't control the force well, disposing of the corpse is a very troublesome thing."

Lu Nan agreed: "That makes sense."

"Hey, you two..." Chisa sighed, "What do you take Kohei-kun for?"

Lu Nan lifted up the silly cat: "Silly cat, do you have a good idea?"

Daimiao looked at Chisa: "I think we might have to rely on Chisa."

Qian Sha was stunned, then pointed to herself, as if she had been ordered to kill Tang Sanzang and his disciples: "Me? Really? How could I possibly stop him?"

Daimiao shook her head: "No, because in a sense, Chisa is also a kind of 'little sister', meow."

Lu Nan suddenly realized: "So that's true. Maybe this will actually calm that guy down."

Chisa's lips twitched: "You mean, I have to call Imamura-kun 'older brother'?"

Iori's face darkened, and her gloomy gaze fell on Kohei. She said softly, "Why don't we just knock him out and throw him out? As for his personal safety... it doesn't matter anymore."

Kohei naturally heard Chisa's complaint about not controlling her volume, and after carefully examining her for a few moments, he secretly moved closer to Iori and whispered a few words to her.

Iori's expression immediately brightened: "Well, although it's hard to say, Chisa, Kohei said that you don't seem to meet the requirements at all."

Chisa's face darkened: "...This is inexplicably infuriating."

……

Lu Nan glanced at the time: "It's almost time to eat, isn't it?"

Iori nodded: "That's true."

Chisa silently took out her bento box; she was already quite hungry.

Kohei took out a can of beer and placed it next to Iori: "Won't you have a drink?"

“Drink.” Iori nodded. “But sooner or later I’ll throw you out of some station.”

When Iori and the other two were about to start their meal, they noticed that Lu Nan hadn't made any moves.

Iori asked, somewhat puzzled, "Lu Nan, didn't you bring a lunchbox?"

Lu Nan nodded: "I really don't have any on hand."

Chisa tilted her head in confusion. Wait a minute, just a couple of days ago, Banana asked her for advice on making bento boxes...

Kohei was also surprised: "That's a bit bad. The bento boxes on the train are expensive and not very tasty."

Chisa looked at the lunchbox her sister had stuffed full of food for her and suggested, "Why don't we share some of the lunchboxes with Lu Nan?"
