In this crossover anime, I've been bound to two systems.

Goto Ichiri nodded.

Ignoring Kita Ikuyo's disappointment, Suzumiya Chisato led Goto Ichiri out of the Starry Sky.

The moment they stepped out of the store, Goto Ichiri let go of her hand and slightly increased the distance between them.

However, Suzumiya Chisato could still feel the observational gaze that she was secretly glancing at from time to time.

"did you sleep well last night?"

Suzumiya Senri's casual question instantly put Goto Ichiri on edge.

…………

Chapter 152 Biting

Has Goto Ichiri changed?

On the surface, the conclusion is beyond doubt.

She changed into more girlish and cute styles of clothing, and when she walked, her back no longer hunched over in a gloomy manner, but instead stood up straight with her chest out and head held high.

However, upon closer observation, one might find that her words, actions, and demeanor seem to be quite similar to usual.

Judging from her panicked reaction to a casual question from Suzumiya Chisato, it's clear that she's still a socially anxious person.

"Ah, very...very good, I slept soundly until dawn..."

Goto Ichiri finally gave an answer.

As Suzumiya Chisato watched her answer, she couldn't help but steal glances at her expression to observe her reaction, and at her fingers that were clasped together and making strange little movements. She barely managed to suppress her laughter.

This guilty reaction couldn't be clearer, even though he really wanted to know what Goto Ichiri had gone through last night that made her affection for him reach four hearts.

However, it wouldn't be appropriate to interrogate her in a crowded street. What if she suddenly fainted on the street, which would be another problem.

Suzumiya Chisato took her to the Chinese restaurant that Yamada Ryo had mentioned, packed some food to take back to Fanxing, and everyone ate together around a small table in the recording studio.

Although Goto Ichiri had already eaten breakfast, at Ichichi Nijika's urging, she picked up her chopsticks and sat down at the table to enjoy the soup dumplings.

The moment the soup dumpling entered her mouth, the broth splashed out from her lips and landed on the hem of Suzumiya Senri's clothes.

"Ah, sorry sorry!"

Goto Ichiri quickly put down his chopsticks, pulled out a tissue, and rushed over to wipe him clean.

Suzumiya Chisato didn't seem to care much, and quickly said it was nothing, taking the tissue to wipe herself.

He told everyone to eat first, while he got up and went to the restroom.

There's hand sanitizer there; applying some and rubbing it in will help remove grease to some extent.

While he was busy at the sink, Goto Ichiri first poked his head out, and then walked over.

"How dare you come in? This is the men's restroom."

Suzumiya Chisato teased as she rubbed the hem of her clothes.

"……sorry."

Goto Ichiri carefully bowed his head and apologized.

Soryu Chisato sighed at her reaction, washed her hands, and dried them with a tissue.

He wanted to reach out and pat her head to tell her not to worry, but he suddenly changed his mind and instead gently pinched her cheek.

Goto Ichiri let out a sob and narrowed his eyes, just as Suzumiya Chisato was about to withdraw his hand and say something.

Goto Ichiri tilted her head to bring her lips closer to his finger, then parted her lips like a cat, taking his finger, which he hadn't had time to retract, into her mouth.

Because Goto Ichiri performed this action with such skill and speed, as if she had done it many times before, Suzumiya Chisato was completely bewildered until she felt the gentle force of Goto Ichiri's teeth on her fingers.

The brain is overloaded and unable to comprehend what is happening.

"Click——"

It was the sound of a phone shutter clicking nearby, coupled with the blinding white flash, that brought Suzumiya Chisato back to her senses from the soft warmth emanating from her fingers.

The voice of a girl with blue hair vanished in a flash outside the bathroom door.

What is that scumbag woman doing?!

The commotion brought Goto Ichiri back to her senses. She hurriedly spat out what was in her mouth, covered her cheeks, which were as red as a sunset, and turned to run away.

She had only run a few steps when she bumped into the door frame. With a cry of pain, she quickly crouched down, covering her forehead with her hands that had been covering her cheeks. She got up and staggered on her way out.

Unlike usual, Goto Ichiri managed to control her thoughts well this time and did not faint again.

Suzumiya Chisato was left alone in the bathroom, looking disheveled.

It took him a while to realize what had just happened.

He stretched out his right index finger in front of him.

Yes, there was still some glistening bodily fluid on it, reflecting light under the bathroom lights. If you gently touched it with your index finger and thumb, you could easily pull out a very thin, shimmering thread.

Suzumiya Chisato stared at Goto Ichiri's sudden action for a long time, repeatedly separating and closing her index finger and thumb in a monotonous and meaningless motion. Goto Ichiri's sudden action made her think of something.

There was also someone who really liked to bite his fingers.

No, that's not quite accurate.

To be precise, it was after that person was trained by him that they came to really like this passive gesture of submission and reverence.

Suzumiya Chisato silently turned on the tap, washed her hands, and returned to the recording studio, lost in thought.

I didn't see Ichiri Goto, but her guitar was still in the corner of the recording studio, so she probably hadn't left.

Just as he was about to leave, Yamada Ryo walked over and poked his waist.

Suzumiya Chisato took a step back, giving her a disgruntled look.

"I've told you so many times, I'm very ticklish, don't poke me here."

"What a useless man. He can't amount to anything if he can't overcome these little things."

Yamada Ryo, spouting baseless theories he'd heard from who-knows-where, crept closer.

Seeing her serious expression, Suzumiya Chisato assumed that she had something important to say, so she bent down and lowered her head to let her close to her ear.

Yamada Ryo's calm voice came through.

"If you don't want others to know what just happened, please lend me some money."

"..."

Suzumiya Chisato straightened up, looked at Yamada Ryo who was smiling faintly and extending her hands, and returned the smile three seconds later.

But he didn't take out his wallet; instead, he turned his head to the side.

“Hongxia, Liang wants to borrow money from me again.”

"Eh!"

Ichiji Nijika immediately rushed over, grabbed Yamada Ryo by the back of his collar, and pulled him back.

"I'm so sorry, I've caused you trouble."

Yamada Ryo, having failed in his threat, wore an expression of utter boredom.

However, as Suzumiya Chisato pushed open the door to leave, she still spoke up to remind her.

"Little Boch is probably hiding behind the counter in the store."

Suzumiya Chisato didn't respond, but waved her hand in thanks before leaving the recording studio and heading straight to the bar.

"Got you."

Hiding behind the bar, Goto Ichiri looked up at Suzumiya Chisato slowly approaching, desperately trying to escape, but there was no longer any space for her to run away.

Suzumiya Senri crouched down, aligning her gaze with Goto Ichiri's. She remained silent for the moment, gently rubbing her fingers together while staring intently at her.

…………

Chapter 153 Conclusion?

Goto Ichiri finally couldn't withstand the pressure, covered her head with her hands, and spoke first.

"Yeah...sorry."

"Why apologize?" Group: 511479481

The author, Liang Gongqianli, asked a question he already knew the answer to.

"Because, because I did something bad."

"Did you accidentally splash soup from the xiaolongbao on me? Didn't you already apologize?"

"No, no... it's something else."

"Another thing? That's strange, I don't remember doing anything to upset me. Can you help me remember?"

Suzumiya Senri feigned doubt.

He did this not out of any perverse pleasure, but to resolve his doubts and to get Goto Ichiri to say more and show a richer reaction so that he could make a judgment.

"I...I just bit your finger, I'm sorry."

"Hey, was that on purpose? I thought you were joking with me."

Chisato Suzumiya pretended to be angry.

"However, if you want to apologize, you need to lift up your shirt to expose your stomach and perform the dogeza (a deep bowing gesture). Isn't that common sense? How can you just brush it off with a simple apology?"

"Eh?"

Goto Ichiri slowly raised her head, which was covered by her hands, and looked at Suzumiya Chisato in surprise.

The other person had a stern face and a serious expression; what they said didn't sound like a joke at all.

She nervously pursed her lips, feeling a vague sense of fear, but mostly excitement.

How could someone expose their belly and kneel down in front of a thousand miles away?

So bizarre! But I love it!
