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

Or we could just use a stick to puncture his eyeballs right now.

Never mind, what if something really important comes up?

Sigh, I'm being too restrained here. After all, I used to have a nickname on the south side of the road in the old Flamefire Village: "Dragon Eye Harvester".

Which eye are you asking about? Big eye, small eye, butt eye, horse eye, the dragon has that eye, he takes in that eye.

Dragons poop, and pooping can cause constipation, which needs to be relieved.

Lu Nan is still kind-hearted. He wants to help constipated dragons whenever he encounters one, even though he sees every dragon he's met so far as constipated.

A single blow from that stick goes straight to the stomach; those who don't drool are truly ruthless.

The scene was no less tragic than the wedding night of a dwarf and a troll; in any case, it was quite miserable.

I'm still suffering from being too kind.

Just as Lu Nan was contemplating whether or not to give Cao Jie a vicious backstab, Cao Jie stopped.

Lu Nan looked around and saw that no one was surrounding him. This wasn't a dead end where he couldn't escape. It seemed that he really did have something to say.

Thankfully, they didn't take action, otherwise it would have been awkward.

After all, I still owe him a bicycle, so I should be nicer to him.

Kusuke looked around and saw that there was hardly anyone there. He figured they wouldn't be overheard talking here.

"Runan-kun, right? We've met before. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Hakamada Sosuke, and I'm Anza-kun's friend."

"Oh, I am Lu Nan, the godfather of Lao Ba."

"?"

"Just kidding, I'm also a friend of Banami-kun, and this is Dai-nyan."

"Meow."

Kusuke chuckled awkwardly, then leaned against a pillar in the pavilion and said, "Lu Nan is quite famous at school lately, I've heard about him before."

Lu Nan nodded: "Ten yuan for an autograph, twenty yuan for a photo. No credit allowed."

Cao Jie was dumbfounded again. Why couldn't he keep up with Lu Nan's train of thought? Was it him who was abnormal, or was it this kid who was abnormal?

"Stop joking, Lu Nan." Cao Jie shook his head slightly: "Your fame isn't a good one."

Lu Nan nodded again: "Let's agree to a fifty-person fight or a group fight of one hundred."

Kusuke was completely at a loss for words. He rubbed his head helplessly and said, "I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to know, what do you really think of Hanami-kun?"

"What, what's it to you? Do we know each other that well?" Lu Nan pouted.

Cao Jie frowned: "I didn't mean anything by it, why are you yelling at me like that, Lu Nan?"

Lu Nan sneered: "Have you ever looked in a mirror? If you look in the mirror now, you'll see that your face is full of the expression of an elder instructing a junior, high and mighty and pretentious. Just because you have a good relationship with Banami doesn't mean you have a good relationship with me. Your brother Lu really will kiss your face hard with a shoe."

Kusuke's expression also turned cold: "Fine, then I'll get straight to the point. Can you stay away from Hachina?"

Lu Nan's eyes widened in disbelief. "No way, did you forget to pull your head back in when you left this morning and get it stuck in your brain? Do you think this is a female-oriented novel? Get away from me, I'd rather fly higher."

Kusuke continued, "Your presence around Hanami will only negatively impact her grades and cause her to become obsessed with trivial things. I just feel that as her childhood friend, best friend, and also her brother, I should help her manage her interpersonal relationships."

Lu Nan was amused: "Wow, listen to this! What a great reason! It's just as bad as Grandma Li's sudden idea to 'look up at the stars'. I'm afraid that hearing this kind of thing will lower my IQ."

Lu Nan put Dai Miao down on the ground and continued, "Now you're my brother, my childhood friend, and my best friend? You didn't say that when you rejected me back then? Hmm? Say something!"

Kusuke's expression changed: "You..."

Lu Nan interrupted him directly, pointing his finger at his nose: "Still babbling on and on, you say I affected her grades, that I wasted my time on frivolous pursuits, and that I'm a bad friend of hers, both openly and secretly. Then let me ask you, where's the evidence? Whoever makes the accusation must provide the proof. If I remember correctly, Banami hasn't failed a single subject in her recent exams. Is this what you mean by me affecting her grades?"

"Furthermore, let me put it bluntly: whatever Lao Ba wants to do is her own business. She's an adult, why should she be controlled by you, her brother who isn't related to her by blood? Don't you find that ridiculous?"

"She's joined a new club and has new hobbies to pursue, but she's not obsessed with going to bars and nightclubs. She hasn't done anything wrong, so what does it have to do with you what she does? I'm just wondering, does she need your permission to make friends? Who the hell are you?"

Kusuke's face grew darker and darker; he realized that he really couldn't win an argument with the man in front of him.

“I didn’t say she couldn’t do anything, I just don’t want her to have friends with bad character around her, that’s all.” Cao Jie looked at Lu Nan: “You know your reputation at school.”

Lu Nan laughed in exasperation: "Everyone knows what's true and what's false in school, but I didn't expect there would actually be an idiot who took it seriously and came to confront me. I'm just wondering, have you finished your credits? Have you completed all your club activities? Have you gotten your certificates? How come you're so free?"

"I don't care if you say I'm immoral. I'm not a good person to begin with. It's just that I didn't have the heart to sign the commission form back then. Otherwise, you'd be lucky to be standing here talking to me now."

"Hakamada Sosuke, right? I was too lazy to talk to you, but I really can't stand your hypocrisy. Ask yourself honestly, what did you come to me for? Is it really your so-called responsibility as an older brother? Don't make your brother laugh."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with a young boy who likes pretty girls to fawn over him, but you shouldn't be jumping on my good side for no reason. I don't like men, so I'm not going to put up with you. You really enjoy being fawned over by two beautiful girls, right? Now that feeling is gone, you're feeling uneasy. You've enjoyed so many days of envious glances, and now you feel like your limelight has been stolen?"

"Hakamada Sosuke, you really have no shame."

Chapter 129 Please enter text

Kusuke's face darkened completely. He had been attacked without any warning, and the worst part was that he didn't know how to refute it, because what the person said was basically true, but he certainly couldn't admit it.

He said curtly, "I don't know what you're talking about. I already said, I just want to fulfill my responsibilities as an older brother, that's all."

Lu Nan found it even funnier. The little brat is still being stubborn? I'll call Iori Kohei over later to get you a toilet brush to rinse your mouth and see if you're still so stubborn.

But the more Lu Nan did this, the more he wanted to see this little brat break down.

"Fine, it's okay if you don't admit it, anyway no one cares about your thoughts, but I just feel sorry for Banami."

"A young girl's heartbeat is a treasure, not something you can use to show off. Hakamada Sosuke, do you dare say you didn't know that Hanami liked you before?"

Hakamada Sosuke remained silent, seemingly pondering how to refute the statement.

But Lu Nan didn't give him a chance to refute: "I'll assume you were an idiot before, that you didn't know or didn't see it, but what about afterward? When I first met Banami, her expression wasn't one of a successful confession."

"Any normal man would feel a little awkward after that, right? At the very least, he would try to avoid her a bit, but I don't see any awkwardness in you at all. If I remember correctly, you always call out 'Hana' when you go out with your girlfriend, right? Do I need to explain to you what you're thinking?"

"Your girlfriend's thoughts aren't as simple and innocent as they seem. Every time you go out shopping or on a date, she always wants to invite Hanami along. Is it really just because Hanami is her friend and she doesn't want to ruin your friendship? Don't you want to laugh?"

"You should know better than me whether she had any ulterior motives, but what did you do? I'm asking you, what did you do? Is this what you call the responsibility of an older brother?"

Lu Nan's every word was like a sharp blade, slicing through Hakamada Sosuke's disguise and causing his expression to change repeatedly.

Of course, the barrage of criticism didn't stop. Lu Nan continued, "You keep calling yourself the older brother, but have you ever cared about Banami's feelings? Yes, you have a girlfriend, so you should avoid suspicion, but why aren't you avoiding suspicion now? And you're starting to call yourself the older brother? Are you kidding me?"

"It's her freedom to like or dislike whoever she wants. She's a person, a normal adult. She can eat and drink by herself, and she knows to run home when it rains. She doesn't need you to help her with any interpersonal relationships."

"When Banami felt lost and had no goals, she worked hard to accept new things, overcame her fear and fell in love with diving. She has been growing. You are the one who is growing. Don't fucking drag her down."

Lu Nan sneered: "That's why I said I felt it wasn't worth it for Banami, but it's okay. Banami is happy now and has new hobbies, so it's not me who should stay away, it's you, understand?"

Hakamada Sosuke remained silent for a long time, then glanced at Lu Nan silently, sighed, and said, "Alright, I understand. It seems I misunderstood you."

Lu Nan revealed a wicked smile: "You don't understand anything, and you're still talking in this pretentious tone. You don't understand at all, you're just out of ideas. Forget it, I'm too lazy to reason with someone like you. I'm leaving."

Lu Nan turned around and said slowly, "I know that Banami likes me, and I like her too."

"I'm waiting for her to confess her feelings, and then I'll agree. Then I'll annihilate the nightmare you created for her."

Lu Nan picked up the doe-meow and prepared to leave, but Hakamada Sosuke wanted to say something and reached out to stop Lu Nan.

Snapped.

His hand was slapped away.

Banai saw him pull his hand back, panting, his expression filled with worry.

"Lu Nan, are you alright?" She reached out and touched Lu Nan, as if to check if he had any wounds.

"What could possibly happen to me? I didn't lay a hand on anyone." Lu Nan pouted. What if he couldn't handle the consequences of fighting and had to sue the teacher or pay compensation?

"It's good that he didn't fight." Banai breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know how strong Lu Nan was, she just thought he had a high alcohol tolerance. If they fought, he would definitely get hurt.

Hakamada Sosuke opened his mouth as he looked at the scene before him, as if he wanted to ask something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Seeing that Anzu was alright, Bana stood on tiptoe and tapped Lu Nan's head in dissatisfaction: "Why didn't you tell me about this sooner? And you even brought that silly cat along, what if he got hurt?!"

"Then you might as well worry about whether Dai Miao will accidentally use too much force and end up in jail with us both." Lu Nan patted Dai Miao's head.

Seeing this idiot spouting nonsense again, Banai was furious. Chisa told him that Lunan seemed to have been called away by someone she knew, and the atmosphere looked very bad. She thought Lunan had gotten into a fight, so she anxiously searched for him all over the school.

"I'm telling you..." Banai saw Lu Nan standing with his hands on his hips, wanting to say something, but then felt that he couldn't be disrespectful to Lu Nan in front of outsiders, so he didn't say much and just protected Lu Nan behind him.

"Hakamada-kun, what brings you here? I heard it's about me?" Hanami asked with a standard smile.

Hakamada-kun?

Hakamada Sosuke felt a tightness in his chest and shortness of breath. He said in a muffled voice, "It's nothing, I was just asking about Lu Nan. I'm a little interested in him and wanted to make friends with him."

Banami nodded: "There's no need to bring friends to such a remote place, is there? Never mind, I won't ask too much. So, is there anything else? If not, Lu Nan and I will go first. We have club activities this afternoon."

Hanami grabbed Lunan's wrist and turned to leave, but Hakamada Sosuke called out to her.

"Xingcai, do you have someone you like?"

Lu Nan was speechless; he really wanted to turn around and kick that man in the mouth.

Banai paused slightly, then turned to look at the man standing in the pavilion, as if she were seeing him for the first time.

Banami chuckled and turned to say, "It's my freedom to like or dislike whoever I want. I'm a normal adult. I can eat and drink by myself, and I know to run home when it rains. I don't need you to help me with any interpersonal relationships. Hakamada-kun, you're talking too much. If you do anything out of line, I'll tell Karen."

After saying that, Banai dragged Lu Nan away and never looked back.

......

"I'm telling you, aren't you afraid it's a trap and you're just going to walk through it like that?" Banai kicked Lu Nan's shin lightly, clearly annoyed.

"Who do you think is responsible for all this trouble I've gotten myself into?" Lu Nan rolled his eyes: "Dai Miao and I have been hiding and running around without eating properly, and Dai Miao has even gotten thinner from starvation!"

"Boss? Didn't we just have lunch, meow?"

"See, you're telling the truth again."

Banami snorted, "It's all because of what you did back then, hmph... Alright, alright, I'll treat you and Daimyo to dinner, as an apology, how about that?"

Lu Nan nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, at least you have a conscience."

Thank you all for your concern. I'm fine now, it's just that my throat is sore and it's affecting my performance a little.

Everything else is fine. I should be able to continue updating for you all in a couple of days. Love you all~
