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

Fujiwara Chika, her legs weak, lay on the sofa and went to watch the silly cat play Plants vs. Zombies.

Fujiwara Chika enjoyed her lunch, but Lu Nan had a rather unpleasant experience. He genuinely didn't understand why these people liked to fidget after eating. Did they all read the same manga?

The afternoon was game time. Dai Miao was already tired of playing and was eating potato chips while watching Lu Nan's hilarious gameplay.

Lu Nan, on the other hand, was having a blast playing Kingdom of Tears... well, not really having a blast, he'd been stuck on a treasure chest for ages.

Fujiwara Chika, who was lying next to him swinging her legs, glanced at him and patted Lu Nan's head: "Nan Nan, you've gone to the wrong place. This is not how you get the treasure chest."

Seeing Lu Nan slide down again, Fujiwara Chika helplessly sat up cross-legged: "Okay, give me the controller, I'll do it."

In less than a minute, the treasure chest was in hand.

Lu Nan exclaimed in surprise, "That's amazing?"

Fujiwara Chika chuckled: "You just found out?"

……

As night fell, Lu Nan came out, drying his hair after taking a shower.

Fujiwara Chika patted the chair in front of her: "Come here, come here, let me blow-dry your hair."

"it is good."

After drying her hair, Fujiwara Chika hugged Lu Nan, took a deep breath, and nodded: "Not bad, it smells just like me."

As I rested at night, rustling sounds drifted through the blankets.

"Didn't we agree... to sleep vegetarian...?"

“That’s not what you said this afternoon.”

"Um……"

What a fulfilling day!

Chapter 403 Chestnuts?

"Yo, Lu Nan, you're back?" Yoshihara Aina greeted.

Lu Nan, holding the silly cat, was somewhat surprised: "Why are you the one greeting me today? That's strange."

Yoshihara Aina shrugged helplessly and pointed to Iori behind her: "Because this guy has become a thinker for some reason. According to Chisa, he's been like this since after breakfast. He's been sitting there with his face propped up and sighing."

Lu Nan raised an eyebrow: "Does it mean you want to eat lobster?"

Lu Nan suddenly felt a little guilty, because the mysterious giant lobster that he and Dai Miao had stolen earlier had already been eaten for dinner last night.

Lu Nan sat down next to Iori, put his arm around his shoulder, and coughed twice: "Ahem, Iori, the lobsters are really all gone. Oh, by the way, I have a pair of claws here, do you want them?"

As he spoke, Lu Nan pulled a shrimp claw from Dai Miao's arms and placed it in front of Yi Zhi.

Iori was speechless.

"No, what's wrong? Why are you looking so gloomy? Did you get scammed by the movie cover last night?" Lu Nan asked, somewhat puzzled. Why are you always sighing like this?

“While that’s true, it’s not really like that.” Iori sighed and looked up at the ceiling. “Eh, none of you understand me.”

"Get lost." Lu Nan was too lazy to pay attention to this person. He was probably a little depressed because his period was coming and he was getting his testicles tied up.

After all, guys always have those few days.

To Lu Nan's surprise, Kohei next to him kept twisting his body and humming a song, looking like he was in a very good mood.

"What's wrong with this person? Did she win the lottery?" Lu Nan turned to look at Yoshihara Aina.

Aina Yoshihara shrugged: "I don't know, it's just as inexplicable."

Kohei snorted and leaned closer, his face greasy, asking, "Are you trying to ask what happened?"

“No, I don’t want to know at all.” Lu Nan reached out and pushed his face away a little.

"Then I'll mercifully tell you!" Kohei held up an autograph board high: "I got Yukari Murakami's autograph! Hehehe!"

Lu Nan rolled his eyes: "I knew it would be something this boring."

Chisa twitched her lips: "Even though the final photography turned out like that..."

"It actually arrived...!"

"Hello~" Hamaoka Azusa walked in with her arm around Hanami: "We're here."

"Oh, a rare guest." Lu Nan looked at Banai and said with a smile, "You look quite well."

Banami lay on the table: "Thank goodness... I almost died. I should have known better than to participate in so many activities."

Lu Nan asked in confusion, "Are you short of money lately?"

Banami's eyes flickered, but she finally looked away: "It's alright, it's enough for now anyway."

"Alright... Azusa, what are you smelling?" Lu Nan looked helplessly at Hamaoka Azusa, who was lying on him and sniffing him.

"Hmm~ Well, how should I put it?" Hamaoka Azusa smiled and straightened up, opening her phone and starting to tap: "It's nothing, just a little unexpected."

Before long, the pink-haired guy was pulled into a mysterious group chat, which had grown to four people. Unfortunately, a white-haired guy was currently battling various bizarre dung dragons and probably wouldn't be able to chat for a while.

Hamaoka Azusa put away her phone, then helplessly pressed down on Hachimi's shoulder, seemingly disappointed: "Hachimi, you should be a little braver sometimes."

Seeing this, Bana looked up in confusion: "What do you mean, Azusa-nee?"

Hamaoka Azusa pinched Hanami's nose: "Never mind, it's nothing."

Ultimately, these things still require personal effort.

While everyone else was chatting and laughing, Iori kept sighing and complaining.

Annoyed by the constant sighs around him, Lu Nan kicked Iori's chair in frustration: "I said that's enough, what's wrong with you? Just say what you want to say."

Iori scratched her head: "No, it's just a bit boring to talk about, but... I really want to eat chestnut rice."

"?" Lu Nan's eyes widened: "You've been sighing since this morning because of this? You idiot?"

"This is so boring. I shouldn't have let Lu Nan ask." Yoshihara Aina rolled her eyes.

"No, no, no, don't say that. I've told you before, my hometown is in the mountains, and there's a huge chestnut tree nearby." Iori began to recall to herself, "Every year, my family would use the big chestnuts picked from that tree to cook."

"Simply season with salt, sake and kelp (seaweed) to bring out the sweetness of chestnuts. Cut half of the harvested chestnuts into small pieces and cook them with rice. Put the other half in a steamer."

"Steamed chestnuts, with all their deliciousness sealed inside, are placed on top of steaming chestnut rice filled with the aroma of chestnuts, and served with a bowl of mushroom soup... It's simply the most delicious thing ever!"

Putting everything else aside, Lu Nan felt that Iori had some talent for storytelling; he actually made Lu Nan hungry.

For a moment, several sounds of people secretly swallowing their saliva could be heard inside the room.

"Iori, here's your package." Nana walked in carrying a large pile of packages and handed the top package to Iori.

When Iori opened it, she found a small, tightly wrapped box and a letter.

Iori opened the envelope and began to read it. After a quick glance, Iori's eyes widened in surprise.

"Chestnut rice! Shiori sent me chestnut rice!" Iori quickly reached out and began to open the insulated box in front of her.

After a while, everyone stared at Iori and the small amount of chestnut rice in her bowl.

Iori trembled as she stuffed the small pinch of chestnut rice into her mouth.

"I'm starving!" Iori slammed her fist on the table. "This makes me crave chestnut rice even more!!"

Lu Nan couldn't hold back anymore. It's no wonder she's Shiori; she knows exactly how to control Iori.

“But it’s not good to let him keep howling like this.” Yoshihara Aina helplessly covered her ears.

Iori lay on the table, repeating "chestnut rice, chestnut rice" over and over again, like a tireless broken record.

As soon as Ashi and Aju-senpai came in, they were disturbed by Iori's noise. They asked helplessly, "Why is Iori so noisy?"

"You look like you're in some pain."

Dai Miao looked up at Lu Nan, rubbed her little belly, and whispered, "Boss~ I want to eat chestnuts too, meow..."

Lu Nan was speechless. There was really nothing he could do. Oh well, since Dai Miao wanted to eat it too, and he had just heard Lao Ba and Zi Jie swallowing their saliva, he decided to think of a way.

Although Lu Nan couldn't solve the problem, he knew someone who could.

All he had to do was call the person who could solve the problem.

Lu Nan picked up his phone: "Hello? Hua Hua, I'm just asking if there are any chestnut trees or anything around here..."

Chapter 404 Chestnut Harvesting Operation

"So, to shut Iori up, let's pick some chestnuts today." Senior Ashi said with his arms crossed, "If you find Iori annoying, then pick up more chestnuts."

"Okay—" ×N

Iori's lips twitched: "Isn't there a gentler way to say it?"

Unfortunately, nobody paid him any attention.

"We can also pick some wild vegetables and mushrooms," Lu Nan said. "Hua Hua said that as long as it's not like they're setting the mountain on fire, we can come however we want. But I heard there are other guests coming, so we still need to be careful."

"That's settled." Senior Ashi waved his hand. "Let's set off!"

……

The girls decided to form a group, so they got together.

"Ah, is this wild vegetable?" Chisa squatted down and looked at a clump of grass on the ground.

"Let me see." Hamaoka Azusa came over and took a look, but she was also a little unsure. She waved to Hanami, "Hana-kun~ over here, over here, come and see if this is edible?"

Ba Nai glanced over and said, "Ah, this is stair grass, also known as python grass. It can be used in cold dishes to clear heat and reduce internal fire."

"Oh my? I didn't expect you to be so amazing, Aina?" Yoshihara Aina was somewhat surprised.

Banami proudly crossed her arms and said, "Nothing special, just that I'm good with words."

"Pretty impressive." Hamaoka Azusa ruffled Hanami's hair, then ruffled Chisa's hair as well. "It's all thanks to Chisa that we were able to discover this amazing thing."

After a while, Yoshihara Mana raised her hand: "I found some mushrooms here! But I don't know if they're edible..."

Chisa leaned closer for a look: "It looks like Maitake mushroom, but I'm not really sure."

She turned her head and glanced at them: "It seems like Xingcai and Sister Zi are busy, what should we do?"
