In the anime, Ai Li's father really doesn't want to be a yellow-haired man

A calm smile spread across Takashi San's face as he replied, "Because I sneaked out. After all, this kind of training is no longer useful to me." His gaze remained firmly fixed forward, as if the answer he was looking for was there.

"Yeah, a monster like you." Ani's mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm.

For a moment, the two fell into silence.

After a while, Ani broke the silence again, "This is the women's dormitory. Is it appropriate for you to be here?"

"No one saw it, right?" Xiaosan said casually.

Ani frowned slightly and said, "This is not like you at all."

Xiao San remained silent and did not answer.

"Let's go quickly when the rain stops." Ani said indifferently, turned around without hesitation and went back to the dormitory.

Xiao San sighed helplessly and said slowly: "What if I say it because I am worried about you?"

Ani's figure suddenly froze, as if he was under a spell, and he stood there in a daze.

Xiao San slowly turned around and walked towards Annie step by step. Annie, who usually exuded a sharp and powerful aura, actually retreated at this moment.

Ani felt his heart beating like a drum, as if it was about to burst out of his chest. In panic, he leaned against the wall to support his somewhat weak body.

"I've thought about it for a long time, and I think I must have fallen in love with you." Xiaosan looked straight at her without dodging.

Ani stared blankly at his affectionate gaze and handsome face, her girlish instinct instantly taking over and making her unable to extricate herself. Her heart was pounding like a deer, her chest was heaving, and a blush unconsciously appeared behind her ears.

Unconsciously, Xiao San and Ani were only a few feet away from each other, so close that they seemed to be able to feel each other's breath.

Instinctively, Ani unleashed all her strength and threw a punch with all her might, but her seemingly powerful fist was instantly caught by Takashi San. Ani then instantly raised her leg, intending to attack with her knee, but this swift blow was also easily blocked by Takashi San.

The fighting skills that she had always been proud of were so vulnerable in front of Xiaosan, just like a child's random fighting tricks.

Without saying a word, Takashi San lifted Ani into his arms and walked into the dormitory.

Ani struggled desperately in Xiaosan's arms, and Xiaosan said gently: "I won't do anything to you, don't worry."

These words seemed to have magical power, calming down Ani's originally restless heart instantly... like a frightened deer being soothed and regaining its composure.

Although Xiaosan has never set foot in the girls' dormitory, with his keen observation skills cultivated from the "Soldiers' Service Regulations", he can easily infer which bed is Ani's just by looking at which bed has the quilt uncovered.

He walked to Ani's bed, carefully put her down, and gently covered her with a blanket... Before Ani could say anything, Xiaosan said in that extremely gentle tone: "I'll get you something to eat."

After saying that, he turned and left without hesitation, leaving behind only a back that made Ani feel at ease.

Afterwards, Xiao San prepared hot water of suitable temperature and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead. Then, he found some delicious food and fed her mouthful by mouthful. Ani wanted to refuse, but... her frail body and tender heart finally made her accept his kindness.

This was also the first time that Ani felt such sincere warmth since coming here... This warmth gradually opened up Ani's originally closed and defensive heart, allowing a ray of light to penetrate.

Ani, who was breathing weakly, asked weakly, "Why do you like someone like me?" Her voice was filled with confusion and puzzlement.

A gentle smile spread across Xiaosan's face, and he slowly said, "Grandma once said that you don't need a reason to like someone."

Ani stared at his extremely handsome face and his smile as warm as the sun, and her heart couldn't help but ripple. She couldn't help but feel moved, and her originally dull eyes also had a little more brilliance.

Xiaosan turned his head to look outside, his eyes deep and he said firmly: "Don't worry, if we are discovered, I will not implicate you." After that, he turned around without hesitation and walked outside with steady steps, leaving only a handsome back.

Takashi San slowly walked out the door, looking at the sky in the distance where the dark clouds were gradually dispersing, and murmured to himself unconsciously: "I don't know if this trick will work... Isn't it too embarrassing? Although I feel a little sorry for Annie, I can only use her as a test subject. I'll find a way to compensate her later." His voice was very low, with a hint of guilt.

Yes, all this care and tenderness is just Takashi San trying out his "cuckold tactics" on Ani. Ani, who has a similar personality to Mikasa, is undoubtedly the best role model.

Chapter 23:023 Ani and Xiao San are dating, Christa: I was here first

Three months passed in the blink of an eye for the "natives" of this world. But for Xiaosan, who didn't belong to this world, staying in this world for just a few days was fine, but staying for several months... was actually quite torturous (the key point was that no new quests were triggered during this period).

Despite being reborn once, the country, technology, and material living conditions weren't all that different. Air conditioning, cell phones, computers, cars... everything was complete; it was still the convenience of modern life, and the environment at Yukinoshita's house was also quite nice. But the living standards here were truly poor. Even putting aside the steely military training, the military's food supply was supposed to be better than the average civilian population. Yet, in the training corps, meat was still a rarity, and the bread was so coarse it was difficult to swallow.

Upon arriving, Kozo was still in a Schrodinger's dilemma, struggling with the question of whether or not to attack Mikasa. Deep down, he sympathized with the people of this world, the cruel world created by manga artists (or perhaps light novelists?). "If there is a God (creator), then this God must be the most evil being who deserves death," he sometimes thought to himself.

As time went by, this sense of conscience was gradually overwhelmed by irritability and anxiety. I missed the lab, I missed Haruno, I missed Yukino, I missed my mother (Mrs. Yukinoshita)... Oh, and there was also a glutton I couldn't afford. If I couldn't make money in this world, I would definitely go bankrupt if I returned.

And so it was, the debuffs piling up, until at some point (the sun's rays were obscured by dark clouds), anxiety and impulsiveness overcame reason and conscience, and concern led to confusion. Just as reason and conscience returned and his emotions stabilized (the clouds and fog dissipated, and the sun's rays once again shone on the earth), Xiaosan once again felt regret for his actions.

The next day, the sun blazed down on the training grounds. For skipping training, Xiao San was severely punished by Instructor Keith, who made him run laps around the playground early in the morning... His clothes were already soaked with sweat; he had been running all morning. His heavy steps and rapid breathing betrayed his... exhaustion? No, he was just letting off steam.

While the others were undergoing their martial arts training sessions, Takashi could still be seen running around the training grounds.

During his sparring session with Marco, Jean took a break to glance at Takashi San, who was running furiously on the training ground. He couldn't help but jokingly say, "I never expected that! That guy who usually puts on a lot of pretense would actually do something like skipping training. He's really not a good soldier!"

"He must be hiding something, right?" Marco said as he dealt with Jean's attacks. He had also received some favors from Xiao San.

Christa was sparring with Ymir, but her attention was almost entirely on Kouzo, her eyes filled with concern. 'Kouzo...' She had never seen Kouzo like this before.

Seeing this, Ymir quickly reminded him, "Pay attention, Christa, the instructor is here."

Christa suddenly came to his senses.

Mikasa's eyes were sharp, and her movements were crisp and clear. With a swift shoulder throw, she threw Mina to the ground. When she helped Mina up, her eyes couldn't help but glance at Kouzo who was still running tirelessly on the training ground.

For three months, she was constantly paying attention to the guy who "not only looked like her brother, but also had the same name."

In the eyes of others, Takashi was perfect. But in Mikasa's eyes, this guy's behavior was still different from the brother she remembered... It was the difference between "approaching perfection" and "perfection." Mikasa also confirmed from his gaze that he looked at her with a completely unfamiliar gaze, he didn't know her.

The course was over and everyone finally felt relieved and had time to rest.

Mikasa walked steadily to Eren and Armin, and heard Armin whispering with Eren about whether to go and get some water for Kozo.

"Eren, how are you? Are you tired?" Mikasa asked with concern, her eyes full of worry.

Allen seemed a little impatient, "Stop bothering me all the time!"

Jean happened to pass by Eren, and when he heard this, a somewhat sarcastic smile appeared on his face, "Someone is pretending again. Since it is Mikasa's concern, why don't you just accept it?"

"You bastard." Allen was immediately furious when he heard it, and stood up to rush forward.

Armin hurriedly reached out to persuade Eren, while Mikasa grabbed Eren's clothes with one hand with a relaxed look, preventing him from moving.

Mikasa sighed helplessly and said calmly: "Eren, don't cause trouble."

"Let me go and let me teach this guy a lesson." Eren's face turned red and his body kept twisting, trying to break free from Mikasa's restraints.

Mikasa decisively rejected Eren. "No, the instructor will punish you for doing that." Her tone was firm, and the strength in her hands did not decrease at all.

Armin also hurriedly tried to calm Eren down, "Let it go this time, Eren, don't be impulsive... If the instructor sees you, you'll be treated just like Takashi San."

"Tsk." A mocking smile appeared on Jean's face. He turned and left, waving his hand casually and saying, "Good boy, just listen to your mother."

Mom? Jean's words really touched Allen's sore spot (birth point).

Allen's expression instantly darkened, like the sky before a storm. He stopped struggling and said coldly, "I'm fine, Mikasa, put me down."

Armin's heart tightened when he realized something was wrong, and he hurriedly tried to stop Mikasa, "Wait." However, Mikasa had already let go of the hand that was pulling Eren's clothes.

Allen instantly lunged forward like a wild horse, pinning Jean down, pinning him down like the "God crushes Brother (Santiago)" in the classic Jinkela commercial... Instantly, Allen and Jean were locked in a scuffle, their eyes red, neither willing to yield. Allen, with the upper hand, pinned Jean down with all his might, his fists swinging wildly.

Everyone around was stunned by this sudden scene and was at a loss for words. The scene suddenly became chaotic. Some people cheered, some gathered around to watch the show, and some teased them...

"Huh?" Takashi San, who was running, was attracted by the vague chaotic sound. He slowly stopped, turned around, and looked into the distance, and saw the chaotic scene of Alan and Jean wrestling with each other.

"Are they fighting again?" Takashi San couldn't help but murmur, and then instinctively walked towards the chaos. But... for some reason, Takashi San always felt that the actions between the two of them seemed very homosexual, and he couldn't help but think of the raw grass videos he saw on N station in his previous life... "Senior SUKI," "Ah♂," "Dark♂," "Hmmmm ahh ...

Just as Xiao San took a step forward, a cold young woman's voice suddenly appeared behind him, "You really like to meddle in other people's business. What good will this do you?"

Xiaosan's steps suddenly stopped, "Benefits?" he muttered to himself, then turned around and saw Ani.

Ani's blond hair was still as casually draped as yesterday, untied, gleaming brightly in the sunlight (currently available information: Kozo is a fan of blonde hair, though he's completely unaware of it). Her lips were a little chapped, and she held a water bottle and a towel in her hands.

Takashi San's eyes were filled with tenderness as he said, "If you're not well, it's best to just stay in bed and rest, right?"

Without answering, Annie thrust the water bottle into Takashi's hand without hesitation and began to wipe his sweat. However, due to her height, Annie could only barely reach Takashi's forehead, which made the situation a bit awkward. Annie stood slightly on tiptoe, trying hard to complete the gesture, which made her unexpectedly cute.

(In Chapter 14, 165-year-old Kosan is 3cm tall. "Tendo Souji's physical qualities" allowed him to grow faster, and in just three months he had grown 16cm taller and stronger. Ani, if she had grown normally, would only be about 153cm tall by the age of 13. Girls develop earlier, so it's estimated that 145-year-old Ani would be about cm tall.)

Seeing how hard Ani was struggling, Xiaosan gently bent down to match her movements. His eyes seemed to be dripping with tears as he said softly, "Thank you, Ani."

Annie's cheeks instantly turned red, like a ripe apple. She quickly turned her head away, not daring to meet Xiaosan's fiery gaze. "It's nothing, I just don't want to owe you anything." Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, with a bit of stubbornness.

Xiao San smiled slightly and said, "Don't say that. I'm very happy that you can come to see me."

At this moment, Christa had just finished drawing water with great effort and was carefully carrying the cup out, happily wanting to give it to Xiao San. However, as soon as she stepped out of the door, she witnessed Ani wiping Xiao San's sweat.

Christa's steps stopped instantly, and she stood there in a daze... The water cup in her hand was shaking, and the water droplets were rippling in the cup, reflecting her lost expression.

Suddenly, Christa felt a sharp tap on his shoulder. He jumped in shock, trembling and nearly spilling the water in his cup. Ymir's voice rang out, "Why are you standing there? Hurry up and get on with it. You're acting like a fool! You're about to be snatched away."

Christa slowly lowered his head and said hesitantly: "But..."

Ymir said unhappily, "What's there to worry about? He is your brother now. Isn't it natural for a sister to take care of her brother? Are you afraid that someone will say something?" Ymir crossed her arms over her chest, frowned, and looked at Christa with impatience.

Seeing Christa still hesitating, Ymir gave her a strong push and urged loudly, "Hurry up! That bald guy is probably busy dealing with Eren's fight right now... If you delay any longer, someone will see you. Then, not only will you be punished, but that guy's punishment will definitely be more severe."

Ymir's push caused Christa to stagger. Hearing Ymir's words, she bit her lip, her gaze firm. "Yes, I understand." She nodded, as if she had made up her mind, and walked forward quickly with the water cup in hand.

As Ani wiped Takashi's sweat off his face, he looked at him with a hint of doubt as he said, "You were the one who begged the instructor to give me a vacation, right?"

Takashi San smiled slightly and replied, "What's the problem?"

"You did this because you thought I would be grateful to you, right?" Ani's eyes became a little sharp.

At this time, Takashi San has two answer options: 1. Of course not, I don’t have such an idea at all; 2. Grandma once said that the sun doesn’t need any reason to illuminate the dust... Based on Ani’s stereotype of him, he should say so.

Xiao San scratched his cheek sheepishly and said, "I guess so."

It was an unexpectedly frank answer. Ani was stunned for a moment, then realized she was being teased. A hint of irritation crossed her face, and she stepped on Takashi without hesitation.

Ani grabbed the water off the towel, lowered her head, and said indifferently: "I'm really sorry, I'm not grateful to you. Not many of the people you helped will thank you. They will only smile at you when you benefit them." Her voice was cold and emotionless.

Takashi San remained silent, only smiling at her. Her height, build, and dazzling blonde hair reminded him of Ai Li.

Ani glanced over and happened to see Xiaosan's gentle eyes staring at her intently. Her cheeks instantly turned red and she said in a panic: "What are you looking at me for?"

"I think that anyone who can say such words must be very gentle at heart, right?" Xiaosan said with a smile.

Ani sighed helplessly and shook her head slightly, "What an idiot." There was a hint of anger in her tone.

Ani took the kettle that Xiaosan had drunk from, and while twisting the lid with her fingers, she said hesitantly: "That thing...that thing is not impossible." Although her voice was not loud, it revealed a hint of firmness.

"Huh?" Xiaosan looked at Ani with confusion.

Annie closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said as if she had mustered up the courage: "I will agree to your request for a relationship for the time being, just do your best." Her cheeks flushed, and she still didn't dare to look directly into Takashi San's eyes.

At this moment, there was a sudden "bang" and the sound of a water cup falling to the ground was heard.

Arnie turned his head suddenly, and what he saw was... a shocked Christa. Christa stood there blankly, his eyes wide open, his pupils trembling, his face full of disbelief.

Christa's yandereness: 25%...

Chapter 24: 024 Because I conquered Ani, I was rewarded with Golzan fragments

On Mikasa's side, Eren and Jean were still fighting fiercely.

Mikasa, about to step forward to dissuade them, suddenly had her eyes wandering to Takashi's nearby... She saw Takashi surrounded by two beautiful blonde girls from her same generation, Annie and Christa. Mikasa's gaze instantly lost its luster, like a pool of stagnant water, devoid of its former sparkle.

At this time, Armin was still struggling to pull them apart, shouting loudly: "Mikasa, Mikasa... um, come and help me, Eren is too strong." (In fact, Armin's strength was too weak).

Fortunately, Marco was also helping. He pulled Jean hard and finally separated them from the tussle.

At this time, Connie was still leisurely watching the show, looking left and right, muttering, "Why hasn't the instructor come yet?" He scratched his head, puzzled, "Strange, that guy is usually quite sensitive."

Inside the office, a blond man with a slender hair stood by the window. It was Alvin, and they watched what was happening on the training ground through the window.

"What a group of fine young men, so full of energy," Alvin couldn't help but sigh. His gaze shifted from the fighting soldiers to the black-haired boy surrounded by two girls. "Is this the genius you mentioned in your letter?"

Keith nodded while sitting in the chair and said seriously, "That's right. I think his potential is no less than that short guy you're interested in."

"Is there any evidence?" Alvin's tone was indifferent and his eyes were calm.

Keith said slowly, "I think he's probably holding back. Even so, his grades are still among the best."

"Dirt won't affect the value of gold, but if no one discovers it, even gold will remain buried underground." Erwin took a sip of water slowly and said, "Then give him a chance to test himself. If it's really as you say, I'll find a way to get him into the Survey Corps."

Meanwhile, on Kozo's side, Annie was squatting down to help Christa pick up the broken glass. The sight of two petite blonde lolita girls together made Kozo feel like... two Airi?

"Thank you...thank you," Christa said softly as she picked up the fragments. She tried her best to conceal her state of mind, but her slightly trembling hands and slightly panicked eyes still made her look a little bewildered.

Ani said calmly, "It's okay. If you need help in the future, just come to me."

Just as Xiao San was about to step forward to help, the system's prompt sounded at an inopportune time. "Ding, the host has completed the "Break Up the Official Couple" tutorial without the system's guidance, and is rewarded with 1/6 of the Golzan fragment."

"Huh?" Xiao San froze in his tracks (the system had been silent for over two months before this).

Breaking up the official pairing, Takashi San naturally knew what this meant. "Official pairing, right? Breaking up... literally, that means..." Takashi San instantly realized he had unconsciously done something horrible.

"Golzan fragments..." Of course, Kozo knew what Golzan was. Ultraman Tiga, during the Heisei era, was incredibly popular across East Asia and a Nebula Award winner in Japan. He had certainly seen it.

Just as Xiaosan had begun to question this, the system's emotionless voice resounded. "Host, gather all six fragments to summon Golzan. Please keep up the good work."
