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

Chapter 87 We Are Different

Suzumiya Senri's act of yielding inexplicably pleased Kasumigaoka Utaha.

In her dreams, most of the time, Suzumiya Chisato is the villain who takes the initiative, while she is in a vulnerable position being bullied. Most of the time, she can only be oppressed, and only on rare occasions can she push down the oppressor and sit up.

But that was only a fleeting moment. After turning the tables and taking control, she was overthrown and oppressed again in no time, before she could even fully experience the wonderful view from the top.

Now that the situation has changed, she is experiencing a joy she has never felt before.

Thinking that this way of getting along might be quite nice, she thought that if she continued to interact with him as an active and mischievous older sister and took control, it would seem quite interesting.

Suzumiya Chisato had no idea what Kasumigaoka Utaha was thinking, but his eyes conveyed extremely clear data.

The girl's cheeks were flushed, and her breathing was rapid... These were all minor issues!

More importantly and more obviously, it is her overall performance.

Although her expression remained dignified and elegant, there was a hint of confusion in her wine-red eyes. This was accompanied by her slightly parted lips, her pointed little tiger teeth gently biting her lower lip, and her bending over, placing her hands on the sofa cushions and knees, and slowly crawling forward.

Outside the window on the side of the living room, the jet-black wing, which had been staring motionlessly into the room, silently turned around and raised its head high to look at the sky.

Even crows can't take it anymore! Not to mention Chisato Suzumiya, who's in her adolescence and might even make a hole in an ice block when she's in the mood!

"Wait a minute, Kasumigaoka-san! I have something to say!"

Suzumiya Chisato extended her right hand, refusing Kasumigaoka Utaha's approach.

We must remain calm at this moment and not forget the purpose of our visit today!

Although what she just said sounded very convincing at first glance, making people want to nod silently in agreement with her.

However, everyone's situation is different!

"Tsk——"

Kasumigaoka Utaha uttered a sound of dissatisfaction. She had thought the atmosphere was just right and was about to approach him and tie off the tie around his neck as a memento of their first meeting in real life.

"What do you want to say?"

She straightened her posture by propping herself up, but did not choose to increase the distance between them.

But that's enough. As long as she can regain her human rationality and calm down for the time being, and stop staring at me with that dangerous glint in her eyes like a mother wolf pouncing on its prey.

Suzumiya Chisato took a deep breath, quickly calming herself down.

"It's about that unnatural dream we had."

Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled easily.

Even after hearing what I just said, you still want to say that our dreams are an illusion?

"No, I heard from Kasumigaoka..."

"Call me Shiyu."

"...After listening to what Shiyu said, my thoughts have changed slightly."

"Just slightly."

"Yes."

Kasumigaoka Utaha tilted her head.

"Well, I'm not entirely surprised. You've always been a very assertive person and not easily persuaded by others. But even so, I'm confident I can change your mind. After all, I'm probably one of the people who understands you best in the world right now. Give me some more time, and I believe you'll accept my perspective completely."

Suzumiya Chisato shook her head.

"It's not that simple."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"It's not your problem, it's my problem."

"..."

Upon hearing Suzumiya Chisato's serious expression, Kasumigaoka Utaha's previously composed and beautiful face was now filled with terror.

She almost immediately turned her sharp gaze to Suzumiya Senri's crotch.

"You...you're not what you think!"

After hesitating for two seconds, Suzumiya Chisato realized what was happening and used her hands to block Kasumigaoka Utaha's view.

"call……"

Kasumigaoka Utaha closed her eyes, gently patted her chest with her right hand, and slowly exhaled.

Don't show that relieved expression so obviously!

"I mean, my situation and Xia's..."

"Shiyu!"

I've lost count of how many times I've corrected Kasumigaoka Utaha, and the expression on my face is starting to show a hint of anger.

"...My situation is a little different from Shiyu's."

What exactly do you mean?

"Shiyu just mentioned that you gained abilities from the dream, such as cooking skills, childcare techniques and experience."

"That's right."

"If I may ask, how much do you remember about the things that happened in your dream?"

"..."

This question caused Kasumigaoka Utaha to fall silent.

Seeing her furrowed brow in deep thought, Suzumiya Chisato wisely remained silent, giving her a quiet environment to ponder.

This was a statement he had prepared beforehand, and in a sense, it wasn't exactly a lie.

If things proceed as he predicted, then what he said next might trigger a turning point in the thinking of Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was already somewhat excited.

"I have experienced two complete dreams, two happy but completely different lives. I can no longer remember many of the small details, but some important things are etched in my mind and I will probably never forget them until I die."

Meeting Kasumigaoka Utaha's inexplicably determined gaze, Suzumiya Chisato thought to herself, "Just as I expected."

"The difference between me and Shiyu lies in this."

Suzumiya Chisato had remained rational throughout, and this was especially true when he said those words, which made Kasumigaoka Utaha feel uneasy for the first time since meeting him.

"What's the difference?"

"Shiyu experienced the dream completely and gained the technical skills and experience of the person she was in the dream, but I am different."

"..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at him, her unease growing stronger.

"What I just told you, my own experiences in the dream, were not a brief summary of my experiences. Rather, that's all I really remember."

Besides, unlike Shiyu, I didn't gain any memories or abilities after experiencing those dreams..."

Suzumiya Chisato stopped talking.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes looked somewhat helpless, and she appeared somewhat flustered. She had clearly understood the deeper meaning behind the fact he had stated.

…………

Chapter 88 I'm sorry I made you cry

It's just like the same film or television work.

Kasumigaoka Utaha sat upright on the sofa, having taken leave and prepared snacks and drinks, obediently following the series from beginning to end.

Because she was completely immersed in the story from beginning to end, Kasumigaoka Utaha was able to accurately recount most of the plot points.

But Chisato Suzumiya was different; she didn't watch the original film.

Instead, they opted for a more concise and straightforward original clip with narration, compressing the incredibly long film into just over ten minutes.

Afterwards, he could say that he had watched the film, and when asked by others, he could accurately describe the general plot, character relationships, and highlights.

But that's all there is to it.

He knew nothing more or in greater detail.

During the simulation, many things were omitted.

One day later, one week later, one year later, ten years later...

You were born, you grew up, you died, you were buried with your loved one, the simulation ends...

When no major events occur, the text displayed on the simulator will look something like this.

It is simple to the extreme.

However, the towering building is not only worthy of praise for its magnificent appearance. What supports its standing on this land are countless steel bars, soil, and broken bricks buried inside and deep underground.

The accumulation of companionship and time spent together is like those inconspicuous broken stones and bricks. Without these, could the building still stand here safely?

“When we were in college, we went on a road trip to the beach together. I got pricked in the foot by a sea urchin, and the car broke down. You carried me for almost ten kilometers until we found a small town where a doctor at a clinic bandaged my wound… Don’t you remember that experience?”

After an initial hesitation, Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately began to recall those unforgettable scenes and images from her memory, verifying them one by one.

Under her earnest gaze, Suzumiya Chisato shook her head.

"I'm sorry... I didn't see such a scene in my dream."

"Then...the first time I met my parents, after you and my father drank too much and lost consciousness, you stayed overnight at my house that night..."

"I don't have that kind of memory either."

"The night you proposed to me, the night I found out I was pregnant, the first time Qianyu called you 'Dad'... Could it be... that you..."

"……terribly sorry."

Suzumiya Chisato sighed and deliberately avoided eye contact with the two.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's lifeless eyes were too dim, too full of disappointment and sorrow; just looking into them made his heart ache.

wait a minute...
