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

Goto Ichiri felt like his CPU was about to burn out again.

Chapter 157 Leave it to me

Compared to the extremely wavering Goto Ichiri, Suzumiya Chisato was quite calm.

He didn't have any other motives for doing this; he just wanted to see what kind of expression Goto Ichiri would make.

Now that his goal was achieved, he was satisfied and it was time to start talking about the more important things that hadn't been discussed in the small warehouse.

"Yili, do you remember what we said before?"

"Say what? What should I say?"

"You've forgotten so quickly?"

Suzumiya Chisato frowned slightly, feigning displeasure.

"Sorry……"

Goto Ichiri didn't dare to breathe loudly, and immediately lowered his eyes and bowed his head in apology.

"Never mind, it's alright. After all, you fainted before, so I'll just repeat it again."

"Yes……"

"So first of all, you've agreed to be my cat, so please take good care of me from now on."

Seeing Suzumiya Chisato's outstretched hand, Goto Ichiri placed his hand on it, letting him gently hold it and shake it.

She asked a question that she cared about very much.

"Um... what exactly does 'cat' mean?"

She remembered that when they were in the small warehouse, Qianli hadn't explained this issue either.

"It means exactly what it says. From now on, you can come and go freely in my house. I will occasionally cook for you. After you finish eating, if you want to sleep, you can come and rest in my bed."

Wow, I can't believe they can do this much!

"I want to be a cat that can travel a thousand miles!"

Goto Ichiri raised her hand and answered firmly, afraid that if she hesitated even a second longer, the other party would change their mind.

"very good."

Seeing Suzumiya Chisato laugh, Goto Ichiri became a little bolder.

"Um, do I need to wear the collar we talked about before?"

Suzumiya Senri retorted with a question.

"Do you want to wear it, Yili?"

"I'll listen to Qianli."

"..."

"So well-behaved? That's a really unfair way to put it."

Suzumiya Chisato stroked her chin.

"Then... we don't need to wear it outside, we can wear it when it's just the two of us in private."

"!"

Goto Ichiri was clearly excited by his statement.

She thought of the dream she had orchestrated last night, in which Suzumiya Chisato seemed to have a similar way of playing with her.

They tied a collar with a thin chain around her neck and then took her for a walk in the living room. They were both very happy.

"Well!"

She covered her face, ashamed of herself for having anticipated it.

After having such a dream last night, she felt that something about her had changed, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

Suzumiya Senri looked at her.

"Hmm? Does this mean you agree?"

Goto Ichiri banished the jumbled thoughts from his head and nodded.

"Okay, then let's talk about our future together."

"The future...the future!"

Goto Ichiri was somewhat speechless.

The word "future" carried too heavy a burden for her.

Since she was a child, many people around her have asked her questions about her future ideals and what she wants to do in the future.

Then her answer was quite disappointing.

I want to stay at home all the time and don't want to go out to work.

And so far, almost no one asks her about the "future" anymore, because those who do ask her this question are disappointed, and neither are her parents.

They often say, as long as you feel happy, that's all that matters.

But now that Qianli has suddenly brought up this topic, is it because she wants to ask me about my plans for the future?

I just don't want to disappoint him. What should I do? Should I tell a lie to get by?

"Well, what are your plans for the future, Ichiri?"

broken!

Goto Ichiri was horrified. Her eyes darted around, and her brain was working at full speed.

I don't want to be looked down upon, I don't want to disappoint him, and I don't want him to realize that the cat I just got is a lazy, useless cat that only wants to stay at home. So, at this point, I can only resort to some white lies.

"I want to...I want to become a scientist! Or an astronaut!"

After saying that, Goto Ichiri's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.

Then, naturally, Suzumiya Chisato's initially calm expression was also taken aback by her overly formal answer.

"Aha?"

Sure enough, it was too obvious! He'd been caught lying!

"I'm so...so sorry!"

Goto Ichiri closed his eyes tightly and immediately knelt down on the sofa to apologize.

"..."

Suzumiya Chisato felt a slight throbbing in her head, and decided to quickly tell her her thoughts and end the conversation.

"Yili, what do you think is essential for survival in this society?"

"Eh?... Food, food and water."

"That's true, but these things can be converted into something more practical and universal: money."

Goto Ichiri nodded, seemingly understanding.

"In this society, most things that arise from the most basic necessities of life—food, clothing, shelter, and transportation—can be bought with money. Money can't buy time, but if used properly, it can save us a lot of time. Using that saved time to improve ourselves or do what we want to do will be very meaningful..."

Ichiri Goto understood everything that Chisato Suzumiya said, but she couldn't figure out what he was trying to express by saying those words.

And also, Chisato-kun looking at her intently as she said those words... he's so handsome...

She kept her kneeling legs, then quietly brought them together and squeezed them together.

"...In short, my long-term goal is to become a wealthy person with a huge amount of assets, and my short-term goal is to move out of my current small apartment as soon as I make money and get away from the glue-applying guy. To do all this, Yili, I need your help."

Although she didn't understand what the glue-applying guy meant, Goto Ichiri could understand everything else. She couldn't refuse Suzumiya Chisato's request without hesitation and nodded.

However, after agreeing, worry lingered in her heart. She was concerned that the real Qianli might be like the Qianli in her dream, asking her to do things she didn't want to do.

If he were to say something like that, even if I didn't want to, I probably wouldn't be able to refuse.

At this moment, the melancholy Goto Ichiri heard Suzumiya Chisato say these words.

"So, Ichiri, just stay where you are and do your best to continue your activities after the band's activities have ended. Please."

"Eh?"

"What?"

Suzumiya Chisato ruffled her hair.

Goto Ichiri felt sweet, but still found it somewhat unbelievable. She had prepared herself for the worst, thinking that Suzumiya Chisato would be like the scumbags on TV, making her work as a prostitute to earn money for him to play marbles.

"You just said you wanted to help, is this all I need to do?"

"Okay, that's good."

Suzumiya Chisato tucked her ruffled hair behind her ear.

"Continue to do what you love, that's the biggest help you can give me. As for the rest, don't worry about it, just leave it to me."

Chapter 158 Establishing the Relationship

He told me not to worry and to leave it to him.

Seeing the gentle and warm smile on Suzumiya Chisato's face, Goto Ichiri felt incredibly at ease in an instant.

Goto Ichiri has a habit that's hard to define as good or bad: most of the time, what she's thinking is clearly reflected on her face, and you can tell what she's feeling at any moment.

Judging from her chuckling laugh right now, she's undoubtedly in a great mood.

Suzumiya Chisato couldn't resist and pulled her close, guiding the flustered Goto Ichiri to spread her legs apart and sit like a duck, placing her little bottom under her pleated skirt on his thighs.

This sudden action made Goto Ichiri extremely embarrassed.

Although she had experienced it many times in her dreams from a first-person perspective and had been there many times, making her a seasoned veteran, in reality, she was still a genuine virgin.
