Crossover Anime: The Heroine's Savior in the Other World

Naoka shook her head.

We must protect Eriri, the best person in the world! Naoka and Miyoko secretly made up their minds.

Chapter Seventy-Five: Confessions

"toot"

Kitahara Sousuke was lying on his hospital bed, scrolling through his phone out of boredom, when a new message notification on LINE interrupted the video he was watching.

Today is Monday, and Marina and Airi still have to go to school. Hanako originally wanted to ask for leave to take care of him at the hospital for another day, but Kitahara Sosuke persuaded her to leave.

If it weren't for the fact that Japanese doctors always prioritize a conservative approach and require him to remain in the hospital for three days before discharge, Kitahara Sousuke would have actually wanted to go to school today.

No, it's not that I'm particularly fond of studying, it's just that being in the hospital is really boring.

He opened Line, and the profile picture of a blonde girl with small tiger teeth was flashing incessantly.

Eriri: "What are you doing?"

Eriri immediately launched into a blunt and unceremonious interrogation, omitting even the basic polite greetings that are usually expected of Japanese people. There's no need to be polite to this guy.

Before Kitahara Sousuke could even type in his reply, another message popped up.

Eriri: "Come to the rooftop during lunch break, I have something to say!"

Kitahara Sousuke: "It's definitely not going to work today. I'm in the hospital right now."

Eriri, who was thinking that she would teach the other party a lesson if he dared to say no, was stunned. What was this guy doing in the hospital? His fingers were still moving.

Eriri: What are you doing at the hospital? Are you sick?

That guy was so energetic that day, he didn't seem to be showing any signs of getting sick at all... Could it be that in the bathroom back then... Damn it, I didn't even catch a cold, how could that guy be sick!

Kitahara Sosuke: "It's a bit complicated, but I just suffered a minor injury."

Eriri: "Oh, so you're really free, huh? I'll just say it on my phone?"

Can we use voice chat?

Kitahara Sousuke shamelessly asked, pressing the voice call request. "It's so boring in the hospital. I really want to hear the cute voice of a beautiful girl... but more than that, I want to tease the little golden retriever."

"Idiot, class is in session right now!"

Eriri hurriedly hung up the call request, sent out a meme of someone beating a dog's head, and then steered the conversation back on track, which had almost been steered astray by Kitahara Sosuke.

"Naoka and Miyoko came to see me again today. It's all your fault. Give me a solution!"

"Who?"

Kitahara Sousuke asked in confusion, having never heard of these two names before. What did they have to do with him? After a long while, he realized what they meant and asked, somewhat puzzled, "The two girls from the shopping district?"

"Yeah, those two are making things up, you better figure out how to clear things up for me!"

"Isn't that perfect? ​​The more they feel I've bullied you, the more discreetly you'll hide your secret sketches and purchases. Ultimately, your two friends are still on your side, aren't they?"

Kitahara Sosuke replied nonchalantly that people who enjoy gossip have no memory, and that gossip will gradually lose its popularity after a month or two.

Even if Naoka and Miyoko directly stumbled upon the incident, as long as they don't keep hanging around in front of each other, after this period of time, they will only remember that there was a hateful boy who bullied Eriri.

Besides, they don't know Kitahara Sousuke, so he just needs to avoid appearing near Eriri's class.

Instead of trying to find a perfect excuse to gloss over some things, letting them cool off for a while will usually make them pass.

Just like some events that caused a great stir in the past, it's quite sad. No matter how popular something was back then, unless the parties involved specifically mention it now, memory won't automatically bring it up and reread it. After all, everyone is busy with their own things.

"That's what you say, but at least you need to go over your statements with me to prevent any surprises!"

Eriri insisted, "I don't know if girls are just particularly attentive to these details."

"Okay, tell me, and I'll do it."

Kitahara Sosuke sent a simple, honest emoji, indicating his willingness to follow orders.

“Then…” Eriri tugged at her neatly combed ponytail. She had originally intended to leave this problem to this guy to solve, but how did it end up back on her side?

"My dad owes your dad a lot of money, so I work for you to pay the interest?"

Eriri racked her brains and came up with a background story that she thought was pretty good.

"It might not work..."

"Why?" Eriri pouted. Placing the blame on the older generation and not being able to investigate between close friends was a convenient excuse.

"Um... my dad might not be able to come, he passed away some time ago."

Kitahara Sosuke scratched his head, thinking of that somewhat rigid but gentle man, and unconsciously smiled. He had moved on from his grief, and now he would take care of his family in his father's place.

Eriri's account on the screen suddenly went silent. After a while, a message was sent hesitantly:

"sorry, I do not know……"

Eriri said with some guilt.

"It's okay, it's been a long time."

"Um... how about we talk another day? I didn't mean to bring up your sad story."

Eriri tapped her two white thumbs together, thinking how stupid she was to have accidentally poked someone in the wound. She wondered if the guy would mind, since she had already given him... she wouldn't be angry about something like this.

“How about this,” Kitahara Sosuke’s fingers flew across the keyboard, “Eri-kun secretly borrowed money from me at exorbitant interest rates to buy a graphics tablet without telling her family, but she can’t pay it back, so she wants to repay me with her body?”

Kitahara Sousuke said jokingly.

"You're the one who'll pay with your body! What kind of doujinshi plot is this?! Is the next step going to be a story where the female lead is forced into a relationship with Jinjin, hey?!"

Eriri wished she could fly over and bite Kitahara Sosuke. How could he expect to pay for a mere graphics tablet with his own body?

"I don't want to pay you back with my body, I'll just be a maid!" Eriri corrected her on the details. "Remember this, I owe money, so I'll only be a maid for a month, and after a month, the debt will be settled!"

"That's it?"

Kitahara Sōsuke discussed it.

"Remember this, don't give anything away!" Eriri emphasized again, "If Naoka and Miyoko ask about this later, you must keep your story consistent!"

"Don't worry, no fool would knowingly confront someone who is a bad guy."

Kitahara Sosuke rolled his eyes. How come he never noticed how childish Eriri was before? He had just casually mentioned a plan to tease her, and she had planned it out in such detail.

No wonder people say that pretty girls are the best at lying. One lie leads to another, forming a huge, interconnected system. In the end, they might even convince themselves.

"But, well, she's just a errand girl..."

Kitahara Sousuke suddenly grinned mischievously at his phone screen.

“They don’t know me, but I can go find them myself. After all, April has only just begun.”

Chapter Seventy-Six: Tutoring in the Ward

"Kitahara Sōsuke, someone has come to visit."

A nurse, completely covered in a white coat, knocked on the door, then pushed it open, glanced inside, and turned to say to those behind her, "Bed number two, please come in."

The blue-haired twin sisters thanked them and entered the room, immediately spotting Kitahara Sousuke lying on the bed.

"You look perfectly fine."

Xingyue Feng placed the delicate little box of pastries on the bedside table, looked at Kitahara Sousuke who was playing games with his hands on his hips and looked very energetic, and said.

Good afternoon, Sōsuke.

Rin peeked out from behind her older sister and waved to Kitahara Sosuke. The two beautiful twin girls, standing tall and graceful, immediately attracted a lot of attention.

The attention of people in the same ward.

The two sisters were wearing uniforms that are common in schools. The fitted shirts accentuated their slender waists, and their short skirts revealed two pairs of straight and long legs. The difference was that Feng chose bubble socks that just went past her ankles, making her look full of energy.

Since being advised by Kitahara Sosuke, Rin deliberately chose black stockings that would distinguish her from her sister's, which, combined with her emotionless and aloof demeanor, gave her a unique kind of cuteness.

"Huh? Why are you here?"

Kitahara Sousuke, who was outmaneuvering the enemies in the housing area, looked up with some surprise. He immediately sat up, not even caring that he was being shot in the head on the screen.

"What else could it be? A gesture of condolence, a gesture of condolence!"

Although Hoshizuki Maple seemed impatient, her movements were not hasty at all. She placed a bunch of pale yellow gladioli in the vase by Kitahara Sosuke's bedside, along with the tulips that Marina had bought earlier, and then gently straightened the flower stems.

"I'm the class monitor, so of course I have to come and visit you on behalf of all the classmates if a classmate is sick and hospitalized."

"Although I'm the class president, Tanaka has been in charge of almost all the affairs this week..."

Kitahara Sousuke couldn't help but complain.

"Hmph, that's because student council affairs are much more complicated!"

Xingyuefeng pouted unhappily. The girl had applied some kind of lip balm, making her lips look pink and plump like jelly, which made people want to take a bite.

Hoshizuki Maple secretly examined Kitahara Sosuke's entire body. There were no bandages covering his body, nor any external injuries.

"Looks like this guy is alright. Why hasn't he come to school for two days?"

Xingyue Feng muttered to herself.

Thinking back to last weekend when he stuffed the "bet" into the other person's shoe cabinet, Kitahara Sōsuke never contacted him again. What did this guy mean? Did he not see it, or did he dislike his style?

Xingyue Feng's face flushed almost imperceptibly, then she became a little angry. She had been anxious for a long time, preparing to face the other party's teasing or mockery, but this guy didn't say a word.

"Kaede canceled her student council activities today to come see Sousuke..."

Xingyueling blinked her golden eyes innocently, displaying her usual talent for backstabbing her older sister.

"Haha, I just happened to have some free time today."

Xingyue Feng stubbornly insisted.

"Really? But I haven't seen Feng for days, and I can only think of him whenever I see things..."
