Crossover Anime: I'm Kasumigaoka Utaha's Brother

Page 22

"Shall I be a judge? Okay!" Baili Xiao put away her smile and scanned the three people with a serious look... Each of them struck a pose that best showcased their charm, waiting for Baili Xiao to announce the final result.

Purple represents mystery, and rare fabrics of this mysterious color cover the most important areas.

Because the swimsuits are the same, as Akane Akane said, Hyakuri Akira can only rely on her personal feelings to choose the "most attractive person".

Despite being close to thirty, Akane Akasaka and Sonoko Machida are remarkably well-preserved.

Whether it's skin or cheeks, they are on par with Kasumigaoka Utaha, or even... they possess a unique mature woman's charm that can never be imitated without the tempering of time!

This captivating charm alone adds a lot to their appeal!

However... Kasumigaoka Utaha's significance to Hyakuri Akatsuki is unparalleled; it should be said that Akane Kousaka and Sonoko Machida had already lost from the very beginning.

Because of Kasumigaoka Utaha's "younger sister" title!

"Sorry, I choose Shiyu!"

Chapter 0064 The holiday is over, and Teacher Baili appears! (Seeking first subscription on 7/15)

After an afternoon of this, Baili Xiao was completely exhausted.

Everyone present was either a light novel author, an illustrator, an editor, or a big name in the doujinshi world (Akane Kousaka). You can imagine how excited they were when they encountered the classic harem novel plot of "the beach".

They tirelessly played every game that appeared in light novels and anime, such as applying sunscreen, playing beach volleyball, and smashing watermelons.

As the sun set, it turned the distant sea red. Baili Xiao lay helplessly on the deck chair, too weak even to turn over.

His gaze swept over the crowd still laughing and joking not far away, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "Women are truly amazing creatures."

"Hyakuri-kun, would you like a drink?" A soft voice came from beside him, and Kato Megumi appeared in Hyakuri Akira's field of vision.

She held the freshly picked-up cold drink in her hand and handed it to Baili Xiao.

"Thank you." Baili Xiao thanked her and took the drink. Kato Megumi sat down on a nearby deck chair and looked at the colors of the sea: "It's really beautiful."

After expressing her feelings, before Baili Xiao could comment, Kato Megumi spoke up again, saying, "Baili-kun, you are really a very interesting person."

"Huh?" Baili Xiao was completely bewildered, not knowing why she suddenly said that—was it something to be proud of to receive praise from Shengren Hui?

"What's so interesting about it? I didn't even realize it myself." He chuckled self-deprecatingly, dismissing Kato Megumi's words.

For once, Kato Megumi smiled faintly: "The hardest thing for a person to understand is themselves. It's quite interesting that Hyakuri-kun can attract so many people to surround him!"

Before she finished speaking, Kato Megumi had already gotten up and walked towards the direction where everyone was—she still had to deliver cold drinks to the others.

"Interesting...?"

...

"Phew, that's so...comfortable." Baili Xiao submerged his entire body in the hot spring, with only his head sticking out.

The moment he stepped into the water, all the fatigue that had accumulated on his body seemed to evaporate, making him feel so comfortable that he almost groaned.

This is a small open-air hot spring bath. The left side is for men and the right side is for women, separated only by a row of bamboo railings. Baili Xiao estimated with his eyes that it was not difficult to climb over.

Every now and then, you could hear the splashing of water and the sounds of discussion coming from the women's bathhouse, making it seem unusually lively.

Baili Xiao looked at the bathtub that she had occupied all by herself and couldn't help but sigh.

"Hyakuri-kun, are you bored over there? Why don't you come over here?" Akane Akasaka's teasing voice rang out, and her best friend Sonoko Machida chimed in, "Judging from the height of this bamboo fence, it should be easy for Hyakuri-kun to peek over here, right?"

"What...!" Eriri let out a half-exclamation, followed by a "plop" as she plunged into the water. Baili Xiao could easily picture her looking around and then submerging herself in the water...

"Sawamura-kun, with a figure like yours, I don't think you need to hide it, right? This afternoon, you and Fairy were the only ones who received the least attention." Kasumigaoka Utaha's slightly cold voice rang out: "Fairy is still young, maybe she has potential in the future! But Sawamura-kun is different, you'll be a third-year high school student soon, right?"

"Ugh... Kasumi, Kasumi Kasumi Kasumi-oka Utaha!" Eriri's roar was full of the flavor of a "loser." No matter how long she had worked with Kasumi-oka Utaha, the latter could always provoke her anger with a few words.

"Kasumigaoka-senpai, Sawamura-kun, this is Yamada Elf's house. As guests, we shouldn't be making such a racket!" Kato Megumi tried to reason with them, but her emotionless voice was clearly not suitable for comforting Eriri.

Of course, perhaps out of consideration for the presence of Yamada Elf, her master, Kasumigaoka Utaha at least stopped dwelling on the "double A" topic.

"Um, senior Waveguide, how did you become... so big?" Yamada Fairy has joined Baili Xiao's [China] studio, and Kasumigaoka and others have become her seniors.

This is a good question!

Baili Xiao sighed inwardly—he was also puzzled by this question, but given the factors of being a "teacher" and being "of the opposite sex," it wasn't appropriate to ask it aloud.

"Huh? I, I don't know either. It, it just naturally grew like this..." Bodao Chuhai seemed a little flustered. "I've heard people say to drink more milk or something, but I've never done that. I guess it's just good genes?"

"Tsk!" *N

Not only did Baili Xiao let out a disappointed "tsk," but many people in the other bath also made the same sound.

"Hey! Am I really that disappointing? All you do is bully me..."

A smile appeared on Baili Xiao's lips as he looked up at the increasingly clear stars in the sky, and a thought suddenly occurred to him.

...

The three-day holiday passed quickly.

During these three days, everyone was completely relaxed. Of course, while relaxing, they also kept an eye on news about "5 Centimeters Per Second".

"The first volume of 【5 Centimeters Per Second】has sold over three million copies in nearly a month since its official release!"

"The style of Volume 2 of 【5 Centimeters Per Second】is completely different from Volume 1. Will the originally heartwarming love story ultimately be defeated by reality?"

.. ...... ....

"The heart-wrenching plot of the second volume did not cause a backlash from readers. Many interviewees said that this is what real love is like!"

"【5 Seconds】..."

News about "5 Centimeters Per Second" is constantly being updated online, and it has consistently occupied the top three spots on the trending topics list, demonstrating its immense popularity.

Besides the highly anticipated "5 Centimeters Per Second", a message posted simultaneously on the official Weibo accounts of Shinazugawa Bunko, the "rouge-en-rouge" circle, and Chishima Publishing also completely ignited the entire doujinshi community!

"The original team behind '5 Centimeters Per Second'—Kasumi Utako (text), Kashiwagi Eri and Hashima Izumi (illustrations), and Hyakuri (technical guidance)—have formed their own studio, 'Huaxia'! As partners with these artists, Fuzukawa Bunko (rouge-en-rouge circle, Chishima Publishing) sincerely wishes their studio continued success and the creation of many more beloved classics! (As a special mention, we heard that bestselling light novelist Yamada Elf and illustrator Eromanga have also been invited to join the studio!)"

After the official Weibo post, countless fans flooded into the personal Weibo accounts of Kasumigaoka Utaha and others. Some asked if it was true, some asked where the location was, but most people were concerned about what the heck was "Teacher Baili, the technical guide".

This was Baili Xiao's first appearance before the world, and the consequence was that nearly three-quarters of the fanfiction community remembered this so-called "Teacher Baili"!

Chapter 0065 The outside world is too terrifying! (Seeking first subscription on 8/15)

"Fairy Island is nice, but home is still the most comfortable place." Looking at the two-story building in front of him, Baili Xiao stretched.

"Teacher Baili, are you really going to refuse the suggestion I made before?" Yamada Chris got out of the car and looked at Baili Xiao with a complicated expression.

Upon learning that Baili Xiao had established the [Huaxia] Studio, Yamada Chris had his subordinates purchase an apartment in the city center, intending to gift it to Baili Xiao as the location of the [Huaxia] Studio.

Keep in mind, that's a considerable expense! Baili Xiao refused without even a second thought!

“Mr. Chris, first of all, thank you for your kindness, and secondly, as I said before,” Baili Xiao smiled and shrugged, “it’s better to stay in this remote and quiet place than to work in the city center. The feeling of ‘home’ always helps us get our bodies and minds into the best state!”

“...Okay, I was presumptuous.” Yamada Chris paused for a moment, nodded, and turned to wave to the men in black who had followed him.

As if it had been pre-arranged, the man in black nimbly carried large and small bags and headed towards the house next to the Kasumigaoka residence!

"Huh?" Baili Xiao stared blankly as they took out their keys and opened the door, as easily and quickly as if they were entering their own home.

Not only him, but Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes widened as well. She pointed hesitantly at the house next door: "Mr. Chris, could you please explain this to me? I remember next door was... the Fujimura family? The Fujita family? That doesn't matter. What matters is that I clearly remember that the house next door was still there when we left, and now..."

“Yes, I bought this house in full yesterday. The furniture inside has already been replaced with new ones, and the decoration is pretty good, so there’s no need to make any changes.” Yamada Chris explained in a calm tone, “Since my sister is going to study with Hyakusato-kun, she naturally can’t live too far away from him. And with the other teachers already living in Kasumigaoka-sensei’s house, there probably isn’t enough room for my sister, so I had no choice but to resort to this!”

"Emmm." What else could Baili Xiao say? With such a caring and generous older brother, Yamada Elf was truly blessed!

Seemingly noticing the "you're rich, you're right" look on Baili Xiao and the others' faces, Yamada Chris shook his head and smiled: "Teachers, please don't underestimate yourselves. The first volume of [5 Centimeters Per Second] has sold more than three million copies. The royalties alone are astronomical. Please don't be surprised by something as trivial as 'buying a house'."

"Huh? Does that mean we've become rich?" Eriri and Izumi Hashima exchanged a glance, both seeing the excitement in each other's eyes.

“Of course! There’s no doubt about that!” Yamada Chris seemed to want to say something more, but Yamada Elf standing next to him frowned and pushed him hard: “Alright, brother! You should go back now! I will study hard with Teacher Hyakuri from now on! Don’t worry!”

With a helpless wry smile, Yamada Chris was pushed and shoved into the car seat by the fairy. Through the rolled-down window, he put his hands together and said to Baili Xiao, "Baili-kun, I'm entrusting my sister to you. Please!"

"Don't worry, we won't worry about her future, at least she won't go hungry!"

...

"Is this the home of Kasumigaoka-senpai and Hyakusei-sensei?" Yamada Elf followed the group into Kasumigaoka's house, put her hands behind her back, looked around the entire living room, and finally her gaze landed on the table.

On the table were notes that Kasumigaoka Utaha had made while writing her novel, along with her thoughts on certain points in the outline. She hadn't put them away because she was in such a rush when she left.

Yamada Elf's eyes lit up, as if she had found a treasure, and she held the notebook in both hands: "Kasumigaoka-senpai! Is this your thought process when you were writing volumes one and two? Can I... can I take a look?"

For any light novel author, Kasumigaoka Utaha's experience is hardly valuable; many would be satisfied with just a quick glance, but...

"You can read it if you want, but don't get too engrossed. After all, I'm writing romance light novels, and that's what my brother taught me. Your future is different from mine, so don't let reading my notes affect your development."

Kasumigaoka Utaha gave a warning, but didn't pay much attention and picked up her backpack to go upstairs—she was going to tidy up the room. If she remembered correctly, the bed was probably piled with layers of clothes.

Only Baili Xiao and Yamada Fairy remained in the living room (the rest of the people had gone home; after all, they had been away for three days and needed to tell their families "I'm back")...

"What would you like to drink? Would juice be okay?" Baili Xiao opened the refrigerator.

"Thank you."

"There are some things you might not understand, but don't worry about them too much." Baili Xiao placed the juice next to Yamada Fairy, and just as she was about to say something, the doorbell rang: "Someone's looking for me as soon as I got back?"

He opened the door while muttering to himself, and when he saw the figure outside, his pupils contracted sharply: "Sagiri? What are you doing here?"

The person standing at the door was Izumi Sagiri, but... she didn't seem to be in good condition.

Her legs trembled slightly, and she held onto the door frame with one hand to keep from falling. Her usually neatly combed silver-white hair looked messy, and her once round cheeks were now yellowish and thin.

His previously lifeless eyes slowly regained a glimmer of light when he saw Baili Xiao's figure, and a trembling hand reached out to Baili Xiao: "Help, help me..."

"Hey! Eromanga-sensei, what's wrong with you!" Yamada Elf noticed the commotion at the entrance and came over. When she first saw Izumi Sagiri, she was also taken aback.

“.....4.9.” Baili Xiao frowned, put one arm around Izumi Sagiri’s neck, and reached the other under her legs. He bent down and carried her into the living room in a princess carry, exclaiming, “She’s so light!”

"Click!" The outer door closed, and in an instant, Izumi Sagiri seemed to be brought back to life as if she had been given a "restoration" spell.

The light in her eyes grew stronger, followed by a flood of tears. Izumi Sagiri hugged Hyakuri Akira's neck tightly, sobbing against his shoulder.

In the dim light, Baili Xiao seemed to hear a fragmented sentence that left him both amused and exasperated.

"The...outside...world...is...so...terrible..."

Chapter 0066 Izumi Sagiri's Persistence! (Seeking first subscription on 9/15)

"Sagiri, what's wrong with you?" Baili Xiao naturally knew Izumi Sagiri's condition, which, in short, was "outdoor phobia." People with this symptom would avoid going out as much as possible, and if they absolutely had to go out, they would still choose not to...

That's why, on the day of the release event, when Baili Xiao saw Izumi Sagiri's back, she had doubts like, "Is that really her?" And today, Sagiri is in an even worse state than she was that day.
