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

"...Don't worry about it, go back quickly!"

"Really……"

Suzumiya Chisato nodded slightly and stood up.

"Wait here, I'll go buy you something to eat."

"I told you to leave! Can't you understand human language?!"

"Don't shout in the infirmary, it will cause trouble for the teacher."

"Who do you think this is thanks to?!"

"I'll be back soon, don't wander off... Oh, I forgot, you're injured now, you can't run away even if you wanted to."

"!!!"

He ignored the girl behind him, who was venting her anger by pounding the bed after her target had left.

Suzumiya Chisato glanced at the affection level prompts that kept popping up in front of her, then left the infirmary and headed towards the convenience store.

Well, even though they keep showing a lot of resistance verbally, they're actually quite honest inside.

Chapter Forty-Seven: Reasons for Borrowing Money

After leaving the school store, Suzumiya Chisato returned to the infirmary and handed the bread and drinks she had bought to Touma Kazusa.

Perhaps she was truly hungry, or perhaps it was because the curtains were drawn and no one else was watching, but in any case, Touma Kazusa did not refuse this time as she had yesterday.

However, after accepting the money, she took out her wallet from her skirt pocket and spoke in a very formal tone.

"how much is it?"

No wonder this girl has no friends. If it weren't for her preconceived notions from her past life, plus the constant appearance of affection level prompts, even someone as good-natured as Suzumiya Chisato might not have been able to develop any affection for her.

But right now, he just finds the contrast between the black-haired girl in front of him and her words rather endearing.

This also brought up the thought of wanting to bully the other person a little.

"We're all classmates, it's free."

Suzumiya Senri offered a few polite words.

"Then take it back, I won't eat it."

Touma Kazusa sullenly pushed the bread and drink she had taken back to the bedside.

You're quite principled.

After a moment of silence, Suzumiya Senri pushed the things back again.

He glanced at Touma Kazusa's already open wallet, saw the bulging banknotes inside, and thought to himself that she was quite wealthy.

"Then give me two thousand yen."

He said.

The items at the school store weren't expensive; a sweet bread with condensed milk and cheese filling cost 300 yuan, and a milk drink cost 200 yuan.

But he had his own reasons for asking for an extra 1,500.

"for you."

Without any hesitation or doubt, Touma Kazusa took out two thousand-yen bills from her wallet and handed them over.

Despite her young age, the way she handed over the money without saying a word already exuded the air of a wealthy woman, easily winning people's favor.

After accepting the money, Suzumiya Chisato was finally able to sit up and sit down with a clear conscience.

As she sat down, she frowned slightly and took a breath, as if she had accidentally bumped her bottom and hurt it.

She gritted her teeth, readjusted her posture, picked up the bread, tore open the packaging, and took a bite.

"Well, actually, the bread and drinks together only cost five hundred."

Suzumiya Chisato confessed.

"..."

Touma Kazusa glanced at him, then took a second bite of bread without any reaction.

As she ate the bread near the center, the sweet condensed milk and cheese filling her mouth softened her previously sharp and cold gaze.

Like a cat with its fur standing on end being gently stroked on the back, it looked a little more docile.

"To be honest, I'm a little short on money, so consider the remaining 1,500 yuan a loan to you, and I'll pay you back later."

Suzumiya Chisato explained.

"No need to return it. Consider it a tip for your hard work running the errand."

Touma Kazusa opened the milk and took a sip.

She stuck out the tip of her tongue and gently licked the corner of her lips.

Speaking of which, milk also suits her sweet taste perfectly.

Did that guy know my dietary preferences? Or was it just a coincidence?

"No, the education I received from childhood does not support me doing such a despicable thing. I will definitely pay back the money."

Chisato Suzumiya's expression was very serious.

"……up to you."

What a strange guy.

Touma Kazusa continued eating, restraining herself from glancing in his direction again.

The school bell rang at that moment.

Touma Kazusa unconsciously tightened her grip slightly on the bread.

Suzumiya Senri stood up.

"I will come again after this class."

"Huh? Are you out of your mind?!"

Touma Kazusa looked disgusted.

The problem is with you. You keep fighting against your inner thoughts and speaking in a completely opposite way. Don't you feel uncomfortable?

However, in a way, this can be considered a cute point.

Although it's easy to be misunderstood most of the time, as long as I don't misunderstand myself, that's fine.

Once I understood this, even being looked at with disdain made me feel much better for some reason.

"Our motto is: sincerity, freedom, mutual assistance, and friendship. See you later."

After saying those words, Suzumiya Senri turned and left.

Touma Kazusa watched as the curtain, which had been swaying for a while, gradually calmed down after he left, and pursed her lips slightly.

After a moment of stunned silence, she resumed eating the remaining bread in her hand, a move that stopped the blush from spreading across her cheeks.

After leaving the infirmary, Suzumiya Chisato ran all the way back to the classroom and returned to her seat before the teacher arrived.

He took out two thousand yen from his pocket, folded it up, and put it into his wallet.

He asked for an extra 1,500 yuan, not because he was short of money and needed to borrow it, as he explained.

He was indeed very poor, but even so, he wouldn't borrow money from others; he didn't have that habit.

He did this because he wanted to establish a connection with Touma Kazusa that went beyond their classmate relationship.

Once the relationship between the creditor and the debtor is established, there's no need to rack one's brains for other reasons to contact them again later.

While saying he would pay back the money, he naturally leaned over to talk to her.

If you pay 100 yuan each time, this contact process can be used a full 15 times.

Thinking back to his past life, he used this move... well, let's not talk about it.

After the bell rang for the end of the second period in the afternoon, Suzumiya Chisato finally arrived late, when Touma Kazusa turned her gaze towards the door of the infirmary for the third time.

He brought two puddings this time.

Touma Kazusa's eyes lit up; it was one of her favorite snacks.

She took out her wallet as usual.

Seeing this, Chisato Suzumiya took back the pudding that had been handed to her, opened one for herself, and sat there picking at it with a spoon.

"I already told you this is something I brought from home, I don't want your money."

Telling such an obvious lie, how many times do you think I've bought this kind of pudding from the school store?

Touma Kazusa was furious, but for Pudding's sake, she calmed herself down and silently closed her wallet.

"That's right."

"……wack."

"You are the one."

Can I call you Touma?

"up to you."
