Crossover Anime: I'm Kasumigaoka Utaha's Brother

Page 85

That's an illusion caused by a terrifying amount of magical power compressed together!

To these mascots, this girl is undoubtedly a strong person, an absolute strong person!

But this very strong person is now standing at the top of the water slide, looking down with excitement!

"Yoho-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!"

Such excited cheers were something people had only ever heard from children...

"Hey! Come play this! It's super fun!"

Mordred's cheers were deafening. If Baili Xiao remembered correctly, she had said the same thing half an hour earlier at the drop tower – word for word!

"Go ahead and play." At this moment, Baili Xiao's mind was full of plans on "how to make the premiere of [Your Name] the best." He had no interest in this kind of facility that he had "played on many times when he was a child." However, La Tifa, who was standing next to him and wearing a bikini-style swimsuit, smiled and waved a finger, saying this.

"Teacher Baili, although I know the schedule is tight, it's still necessary to relax from time to time! So, please go have some fun with Lady Mordred!"

As he spoke, he moved behind Baili Xiao and gently pushed the latter's back with both hands. He originally just wanted the former to take a step towards the pool, but something unexpected happened!

Perhaps it was from someone else dripping water as they came ashore, or perhaps it splashed up while someone was playing around; in any case, there was a shallow puddle of water under Latifa's feet—even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance of falling, at this moment, that chance became one hundred percent!

"ah!"

She slipped and lost her balance abruptly. Latifa screamed reflexively—though the sound wasn't loud, it was still heard by Baili Xiao, who was standing right next to her.

Immediately afterwards, a petite body full of elasticity and exuding the aura of a young girl snuggled into Baili Xiao's arms as he turned around!

Almost instinctively, he hugged the body in his arms. Baili Xiao was stunned for a second, then realized what had happened—Latifa's fair cheeks turned red in an instant, and she buried her face in his chest, her whole body stiff.

(S-Should I apologize now? Should I just push Baili-sensei away? Wouldn't that seem too abrupt? What if it causes Baili-sensei to misunderstand? But... but right now my face must be burning red. If someone sees me like this... um...)

In that instant, a multitude of thoughts flashed through Latifa's mind, and in the next instant, she made a decision—to keep the pose unchanged...

The girl, who was not prepared for the sudden situation, chose to "remain unchanged in the face of all changes," but Baili Xiao could not do that, because—he could feel countless eyes falling on him at the same time, and with his amazing hearing, he could even hear the sound of them gasping for breath!

"Look, look! Look at Lord Latifa!"

"Wow! This is the most beautiful (exciting) scene I've ever seen in my life! Is Teacher Baili finally going to make a move on Lady Latifa?"

"Hehehe! I didn't expect Lady Latifa to be so proactive! With so many outsiders (tourists) present, she still couldn't suppress her love for Teacher Baili~~~ and it showed!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I wonder what Isuzu would think if she saw this. She probably also has some inexplicable feelings for Hyakusei-sensei, right?"

The ones making the comments and chuckling were all the mascots of Gan Hui Amusement Park—after all, in the eyes of tourists, this scene was at most just a "hug between lovers," which was somewhat eye-catching but not something that would cause much discussion.

But it was different for the mascots. They were engrossed in discussing topics like "Bai Lixiao X La Tifa," completely unaware that Isuzu had appeared behind them at some point.

"What are you all talking about?" Isuzu's icy voice was as cold as the muzzle of a smoothbore gun pressed against the back of everyone's heads: "The job I assigned you wasn't 'chatting,' was it?"

The voice grew colder and colder, like a chilling air current from an icy land, seeping into everyone's hearts from behind—the mascots, shivering, stood still as they huddled together, and in unison said, "We are so sorry," before disappearing from Isuzu's sight in a flash.

Once the "obstacle" disappeared, Isuzu looked up and naturally saw the people "embracing" in the distance—for some reason, a sudden pang of pain shot through her heart, inexplicably...

"This is..." Isuzu pressed her small hand to her chest, tilting her head and looking down—she didn't know why she was suddenly experiencing a sharp pain in her chest; she had never felt this before: "The previous physical exam showed nothing wrong with my body, so why is this happening..."

Muttering these words softly, Isuzu took a deep breath, gazed in the direction of Baili Xiao and Latifa, and began to walk towards them—but even she herself didn't realize that her strides were much larger than ever before...

"I'm really, really sorry!"

Breathing erratically, La Tifa moved away, placing her hands on her chest, her head bowed, her golden hair obscuring her face, and bowed frantically to Baili Xiao in apology.

Baili Xiao's fingers unconsciously curled—the memory from his body still clearly remembered the touch he had just felt—he awkwardly scratched his cheek, his gaze drifting towards Mordred.

At this moment, the latter grinned, revealing her happiest smile. Her entire body was covered in glistening water droplets. Seemingly noticing his gaze, she extended an invitation once more: "What are you standing there for? You promised to play with me! Now you're leaving me here all alone! Aaaaaaahh ...

As he spoke, Mordred's body plummeted down the water slide—with a "plop," he plunged into the water once more, splashing water everywhere and eliciting laughter from a group of children nearby.

"That older sister is having so much fun!"

Let's go play together!

"Let's walk and walk!"

Chapter 0244 The adorable (foodie) girl Luo Tianyi has arrived! (Two chapters)

"That's the general plan."

In the large living room of Red Maple City, the heads of various departments of Gan Hui Amusement Park gathered together, along with Isuzu, Latifa, Baili Xiao, and Mordred, for a total of seventeen people.

Even so, it only occupies half of the living room, which shows how large the building area of ​​Red Maple City is!

Baili Xiao pushed the computer in his hand forward. The electronic text on it clearly recorded every detail of the premiere plan agreed upon with Mayor Angus. What everyone had to do next was to complete the plan without any mistakes!

Everyone's eyes were focused on the computer screen, except for two people—Latifa and Mordred.

Because of what happened at the "Azure Ocean," Latifa's mind is still not at peace—although Baili Xiao didn't say anything, only telling her "since it was an accident, don't worry about it," how could she not worry?!

As the first princess, this was the first time she had been hugged by a man, and... it was while more than 407% of her skin was exposed (while wearing a swimsuit)!

My mind kept wandering to thoughts like, "Teacher Baili must have touched (his skin), right?" and "When my chest bumped into him, I must have felt it, right?" I couldn't calm down and think straight, so... I'm sorry, I was constantly "daydreaming."

As for Mordred...

She kept saying, "We're going to discuss things later? Of course I'll attend, that way I'll know what you're planning, right?" But the discussion lasted less than three minutes before she looked bored and focused all her attention on the drink in her hand—(Hey? It tastes pretty good, I'll go get another one later...)

Is this my fault? I don't understand it at all! What's with all this stuff about "premiere" and "Your Name"?

"Yes, I understand." Isuzu nodded expressionlessly—though she always was like this, Baili Xiao felt that her face was even colder today—her gaze swept over all the cadres present: "According to the plan from above, each department should conduct final preparations, and there must be no mistakes..."

She seemed to want to say something more, but ultimately remained silent—however, the department head present silently added that sentence in his mind—"If anyone doesn't perform well, then my musket will..."

In everyone's mind, Isuzu has long been synonymous with smoothbore muskets! (An angry Isuzu = a blaring smoothbore musket)!

With her hands clasped together and a smile on her lips, Baili Xiao looked at everyone present: "Come to think of it, this is the second time I've asked you all for help, isn't it? The Muse concert was a great success. I hope that this time, with everyone's concerted efforts, we can also prepare for the premiere of 'Your Name' to be in the best possible condition!"

"Let's all keep going!"

"Oooo!"

...

Meanwhile, at the studio headquarters.

The front door was pushed open, and Yue Zhengling, who had disappeared for a morning, appeared in everyone's sight—but what was surprising was that behind her was a girl of about the same age, with cute looks, gray hair, and green eyes.

The girl looked around curiously, exclaiming "Wow! Wow wow wow!" repeatedly. The house in front of her, or the interior decoration, looked like a place only rich people could live in!

"Um... this is my good friend Luo Tianyi. She's also a singer. After hearing that I joined the studio, she specially came all the way from the Celestial Empire..." Yue Zhengling introduced the girl behind her to everyone somewhat embarrassedly—(aeej) She couldn't bring herself to say, "She came because she wants me to take care of her," so she could only embellish the facts a little...

Kasumigaoka Utaha stopped her discussion with Yamada Elf, her eyes darting back and forth between Yue Zhengling and Luo Tianyi, a cryptic smile playing on her lips: "Since you are Aya's friends, and have come all the way from the Celestial Empire, we will naturally extend the warmest hospitality we can... If you don't mind, please stay at our studio. We have plenty of spare rooms, so please make the most of them."

He paused slightly, then turned his gaze to Yue Zhengling: "A-Ling, come here for a moment."

In Kasumigaoka Utaha's love nest (in the mist).

After Yue Zhengling followed Kasumigaoka Utaha into the house with a puzzled look, the latter gently closed the door.

“Aya, since she’s your friend, I can’t really say anything. It’s fine for her to stay here, of course. But…” Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled slightly. Although her smile was “innocent,” it carried a hint of warning in Aya’s eyes: “There are many things in the studio that cannot be shared with the outside world. For example, the plot of the second volume of ‘Your Name’, and Eriri and the others’ illustrations. So… I hope your friend is a sensible person. After all, she’s a pretty cute girl.”

With Baili Xiao not in the studio, Kasumigaoka Utaha, as the younger sister and considering herself the "future queen," naturally had to be careful about the studio's security. She didn't think she was being unreasonable; after all, as long as her bottom line wasn't crossed, it didn't matter how long the girl named "Luo Tianyi" stayed. But... once her bottom line was crossed, she would absolutely not tolerate it with thoughts like, "Ah, such a cute girl, maybe I should forgive her this once!"

It's important to understand that she reigns supreme among all the women in the studio with her "cunning" nature—even now, as she gradually moves towards becoming the "benevolent and magnanimous empress," it's merely a matter of suppressing the cunning within her...

Her bottom line is very simple: it's her brother Baili Xiao, and by extension, anything she wants to protect about him, including the studio. She will not allow anyone to destroy the studio that Baili Xiao and she, along with others, built together!

"Distributing the plot of 'Your Name' Volume 2 or the original movie illustrations drawn by Eriri and others" goes against Baili Xiao's plan and is tantamount to causing some kind of damage to the studio!

"Phew, I thought Sister Shiyu was going to say something..." Yue Zhengling breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and waved her hand: "Don't worry, my friend is only interested in music and food, nothing else! As long as she can eat her fill every day, she's perfectly content!"

Chapter 0245 Luo Tianyi's Appetite! (First Update)

"Don't worry, as long as my friend has food, everything will be fine. He won't do anything harmful to the studio!"

Hearing Yue Zhengling say such things again, Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled slightly—judging from the girl's figure, she didn't seem like someone who could eat a lot. If it was really true, as the former said, that "as long as there's food, she'll behave herself," then thank goodness...

This seemingly normal thought was immediately dismissed by Kasumigaoka Utaha after dinner!

"Glug glug glug!" With a rather unrestrained lift, Luo Tianyi downed nearly half the bottle of beverage in one gulp, completely abandoning any ladylike demeanor. She then let out a comfortable groan and looked pitifully at Kato Megumi, who had a wry smile on her face across the table: "Megumi-neechan, is there... is there any rice left?"

There was a hint of shyness, a hint of timidity, and a touch of "sorry to trouble you" in her words... but none of that could mask the fact that she had already eaten five bowls of rice!

Five bowls! That's five bowls!

It's not the small bowls used in restaurants, but a slightly larger variety—one bowl might be a little small for a guy, but two bowls are definitely enough to fill him up!

Even so, this seemingly slender and adorable girl, without an ounce of fat (which is true), actually ate five bowls of curry without showing any signs of stopping!

"I'm so sorry, I didn't make much today..." Kato Megumi smiled apologetically, her eyes subtly sweeping over Kasumigaoka Utaha's cold face—the latter had indeed told her, "Aya said her friend has a big appetite, so please make more for dinner," but... but this is too much!

Suppressing her surprise and shock, Kasumigaoka Utaha took a deep breath: "Um, Luo Tianyi... classmate, is this your usual appetite?"

Because she wasn't familiar with Luo Tianyi, Kasumigaoka Utaha temporarily referred to her as "classmate"—Luo Tianyi blushed, awkwardly tucked her hands, which were holding the bowl, under the table, her fingers unconsciously interlacing, looking uneasy.

"Oh, that's not usually the case. Today I was just really hungry, so... I ate a bit too much, um..."

Her answers were evasive, and Luo Tianyi avoided eye contact with everyone—only she knew that she had been starving the day before she boarded the plane...

"I... I sometimes eat that much too, especially white rice, so... so..."

Luo Tianyi's words resonated strongly with Koizumi Hanayo—all the other members of Muse, or Eriri and others, would say things like, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Hey, Hanayo-chan, how do you maintain your figure? You eat more than me every day."

Although she knew the others weren't complaining—they might even have been envious—over time, Koizumi Hanayo still felt a little "sad"...

No girl likes being told she "eats a lot," right? Koizumi Hanayo is no exception!

So please don't feel embarrassed! If you can, please take mine... take half of it!

I originally wanted to say "take it all", but after hesitating for a moment, I changed it to "half" - after all, I also need to fill my stomach a little, right?

"No, no, I'm almost full, really." Luo Tianyi hurriedly waved her hand to decline Koizumi Hanayo's offer and shook her head repeatedly.

Whether it was due to her long-standing education or the etiquette of her homeland, the Celestial Empire, Luo Tianyi couldn't accept it calmly. More importantly, just now, under the table, Yue Zhengling, who was sitting next to her, had quietly written the words "I'll take you out to eat later" in her palm with her finger!

As she finished speaking, Luo Tianyi wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt as if... everyone present simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief?!

"Tianyi is a singer who is no less talented than me, whether in singing or choreography... So, I want her to help me teach Muse during this period, so that we can improve everyone's skills as soon as possible."

As Yue Zhengling spoke, her gaze was fixed on Kasumigaoka Utaha's face, observing the latter's expression—with Baili Xiao not in the studio, the only one who could make the decision was Kasumigaoka Utaha (very realistically ignoring Eriri's existence, after all, Eriri was completely suppressed by Kasumigaoka Utaha in every aspect)!

"We should wait until my brother returns before we can make a formal decision on this matter. However... let's stay here for now." Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded slightly—she wouldn't overstep the line and handle matters that should be dealt with by Hyakuri Akira; this was a decision made by a wise woman.

"Don't worry about food. Our studio isn't so stingy as to let anyone go hungry—your reaction just now was simply because you were too surprised."

Seeing Luo Tianyi's blushing face, Kasumigaoka Utaha's lips curled up as she comforted her while glancing at the others at the table.

"Ms. Kousaka and Ms. Sonoko are coming over later. They've brought the final version of 'Your Name.' I think there won't be time for you to go eat then!"
