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

Hamaoka Azusa found his reserved appearance even more amusing, so she moved even closer and eventually lay down next to him.

"Hey, Lu Nan, why are you so reserved?" Hamaoka Azusa smiled, looking like a smug little fox: "Didn't you say this was a disruption tactic? Could it be... the tactic was very successful?"

Xiao Zi is successful

Lu Nan was taken aback, not expecting this guy to be so vengeful.

He stubbornly turned his body, like a sulking child, or a young dragon that had accidentally wandered into a dead end. Although he seemed powerless to resist, he stubbornly curled up into a ball to protect himself.

Hamaoka Azusa wasn't in a hurry; she simply hugged Lu Nan from behind, their hearts pressed very close together.

"Lu Nan, what are you worried about?" Hamaoka Azusa asked softly.

Lu Nan didn't answer her question, but asked in a muffled voice, "Why do you like me so much?"

Hamaoka Azusa chuckled to herself. Even at this point, why did she suddenly act like a child again?

She almost forcefully turned Lu Nan around, making him face her.

Staring into Lu Nan's eyes, Hamaoka Azusa opened her arms wide with utmost seriousness: "Then, let's start with a hug."

Without giving Lu Nan a chance to refuse, Hamaoka Azusa pulled him into her arms.

"Actually, I'm the girl you rescued from those thugs that day."

Hamaoka Azusa began to speak.

"Perhaps you've already recognized me, or perhaps you haven't, but that doesn't matter, because what I want to tell you is that I fell in love with you earlier than you think."

She whispered in Lu Nan's ear, "Actually, I've been watching you for a long time. I later got that stray dog ​​that tore up your tent neutered, and I cornered the shopkeeper in an alley and beat him up..."

“I’ve been thinking about how I can get to your side. I was so happy when I found out you joined Peek a Boo. I even went to the most efficacious temple nearby to ask for a divination. God said that we are destined to be together.”

Hamaoka Azusa looked into Lu Nan's eyes and smiled brightly: "If these reasons aren't enough, I have many more reasons that I can tell you, but not for too long, because we still have limited time tonight."

Lu Nan stared at her blankly.

Hamaoka Azusa leaned closer, almost face to face: "I don't want to ask you questions like whether you like me or not."

Her fingers traced across Lu Nan's chest: "At this moment, your heartbeat is ringing just for me, and that's enough."

"Besides, I can see it, you see me in your eyes, right? Although there's more than one shade of purple, I've never been a greedy person." Hamaoka Azusa rubbed her hands together expectantly: "But it's not quite right to say I'm not greedy. Tonight, I might really be greedy."

Lu Nan pursed his lips, flipped the scroll over, and to Hamaoka Azusa's delighted surprise, it landed on top.

Lu Nan looked into her smiling and encouraging eyes: "But I'm not from this world. I don't even know when I'll..."

Hamaoka Azusa covered his mouth with a finger: "No, I don't want to hear this, and I don't care."

Her fingers traced his spine, sending a shiver down her spine: "Besides, even if you really want to leave, shouldn't you leave me something? Like... a beautiful memory?"

Lu Nan lowered his eyes: "Okay."

Hamaoka Azusa's eyes suddenly glazed over, then quickly focused as she looked at Lu Nan's face and leaned closer.

Kiss and breakup.

"Thank you."

"I should be the one saying thank you."

......

As the sun rose, its gentle sunlight streamed through the glass onto Hamaoka Azusa's face, which was slumped over the table, bringing her back to some of her senses. She nudged Lu Nan, her voice dry and hoarse: "Lu Nan, it's...it's already daytime..."

Lu Nan buried his head in the crook of her neck and hummed softly.

Hamaoka Azusa lowered her head helplessly and asked in a trembling voice, "Can we reconcile?"

Lu Nan hummed in agreement: "The last time."

Hamaoka Azusa's lips twitched. It was that same phrase again. At first, she had to coax him, but after that, it wasn't the same anymore. No matter how she coaxed him, he wouldn't stop, and nothing she said worked.

Asking means it's the last time, asking means it's another chance.

Hamaoka Azusa was really at her wit's end.

Ah!

......

I just hope this is truly the last time.

Hamaoka Azusa thought helplessly.

I wish we had chatted a little longer. I knew the young man was a bit reckless, but I didn't know he would work this hard.

Looking back now, I realize how ridiculous it was that I said I had limited time at night.

After washing up together, Lu Nan tucked Hamaoka Azusa into bed and kissed her on the head: "I'll go tell you that you can't come to the awards ceremony at noon today. Get some rest. There's warm water in the kettle and breakfast on the table."

Hamaoka Azusa narrowed her eyes: "So you've finally figured it out? This isn't your usual persona!"

Lu Nan turned his head away embarrassedly: "I found this out last night."

When was the investigation conducted?

"When you're peering out through the glass."

"So, you never intended to let me go back then, did you? And you still said it was the last time?"

Lu Nan lowered his head guiltily.

Hamaoka Azusa chuckled and pinched his nose: "Alright, go to school now. I need to rest. The spare key is under the doormat. Make sure you put it in there and don't lose it."

Watching Lu Nan leave, Hamaoka Azusa shrank deeper into the blankets and comfortably closed her eyes.

That's great, sisters, keep up the good work!

Your sister Zi has already indulged in delicious food!

Chapter 118 Award Ceremony

As soon as Lu Nan arrived at the okonomiyaki stall, he saw Chisa and Banami with sour faces, as well as a dorky cat surrounded by girls who looked utterly hopeless.

However, perhaps because of yesterday's beauty pageant, a lot of idle boys gathered around the okonomiyaki stall.

This scene looks familiar. Is it going to be some troublemakers next?

As if Lu Nan's thoughts were being confirmed, a man reached out as if intending to grope him.

Lu Nan's eyes sharpened, and he went up and smashed a plunger into the back of the man's head.

"Hey, what were you planning to do with your filthy hands just now?" Lu Nan gripped the plunger, his expression as wicked as a devil.

"Why are you hitting people?!"

"Do you think we're easy to bully?!"

The crowd seemed to get excited. This man was the scoundrel who had shone brightly in yesterday's men's competition. They had to seize the opportunity to beat him up today.

Two tall figures stood behind Lu Nan like ghosts. Senior A Shi and Senior A Shou crossed their arms, their bulging muscles twitching.

"I think I just heard someone planning to make a move against our lovely junior?"

"Did I hear that right? If so, can I take this as a provocation against Peek a Boo?"

"Get out of the way!"

Thanks to the powerful aura of the two seniors, all the idle boys obediently ran away.

Chisa was panting heavily, her face dark; the man had almost pulled her down.

Banami looked at Chisa cautiously: "Chisa-chan, are you alright?"

"Ah."

Although it was certain, Chisa's expression didn't look like anything was wrong at all.

Lu Nan looked helplessly at Kohei and Iori, who were still unconscious: "What exactly did you call these two here for?"

Dai Miao jumped into her boss's arms with a big leap, looking disgruntled: "Boss, where did you go gallivanting last night, meow? I didn't see you when I woke up this morning, meow?"

While stroking the cat's head, Lu Nan chuckled sheepishly, "Ah, well, last night the boss went to hunt down the giant purple octopus with the Dragon Slayer Spear."

The silly cat became even more indignant: "Boss is so despicable! If it's a hunt, I want to go too!"

It took Lu Nan a while to calm the kitten down. Children's tempers come and go quickly; just a moment ago it was denouncing the boss, and now it's poking Iori's butt with a stick.

"Speaking of which, Azusa is late again today." Ashou glanced at the time.

Lu Nan raised his hand: "Senior Zi said she has something to do and won't be coming to the awards ceremony."

"I see. I guess she needs to help with something at school again." Senior Shi nodded. "Right now, we should wake those two up first."

"Hey, I said, you two wake up!" Senior Ashi shook Iori and the other person helplessly.

"The awards ceremony is almost here, we can't just let them go up like this, can we?" Senior Ashou said helplessly.

The three of them then exchanged a glance and chuckled.

"It doesn't seem like it's impossible."

……

"Congratulations to both of you on winning the women's beauty pageant!"

"Thank you."

"Ah."

"And it received the award for best stage performance!"

"Thank you."

"Ah."

Ah Shi and Ah Shou, who were sitting in the audience, were somewhat puzzled.

"What's wrong? They both look unhappy."

"Your expression is really sour."

The silly cat ate the candied hawthorn given to it by its boss with a strange look on its face: "Isn't this obvious, meow? Because Banami-nee and Chisa-nee only went to participate because of the boss and Iori's request, right, meow?"

"But it's normal to feel disappointed and angry when the boss and the others are working so hard for other girls, meow."
