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

"Smart people don't just drink beverages that strangers have opened and given to them. We reminded you of that in chapter 57."

Kitahara Sousuke started imitating the Kyoto dialect of the Choko brand again.

"Gu..."

Yoko thought back and realized that the other person had indeed said something similar, which made her even more depressed.

"Never mind, I'm just an idiot."

Yomo Choko angrily tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp. Milk is just plain milk, Yomo Choko knew that Kitahara Sosuke wouldn't put anything strange in it.

Before she knew it, from being ordinary friends to having an ambiguous relationship where they slept in the same bed overnight, Yomo Choko developed feelings of trust for Kitahara Sosuke from the bottom of her heart.

This guy could have bullied me countless times with underhanded tactics, yet he always managed to stay true to himself outside of certain red lines.

He's a complete bastard. Other scumbags try every means to trick girls into having their bodies, but this guy wants to steal their hearts too.

But I am falling into their trap little by little, and even though I know they have ulterior motives, I have no way to break through their methods.

When did her heart develop a vulnerability, allowing the other party to take advantage of it? Yoko thought back, it was probably when she woke up from a nightmare and saw the boy appear out of nowhere outside the window.

Kitahara, who always appeared when the girl was at her weakest and most in need of help, was the worst and most outrageous person she knew.

P.S.: Sorry, I can only update once today. Something came up during the day and I've been busy for too long. I'll make up for it later.

Chapter 128 This is too crazy!

"Butterfly, butterfly..."

"Ah, it's Kotoha... Is school over?"

Sifang Diezi rubbed her sleepy eyes and felt a little dampness around her mouth. The girl wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, feeling embarrassed.

It's all Kitahara's fault. He clearly didn't sleep well last night, and then he did such a terrible thing to me this morning, leaving me feeling listless all day.

I didn't absorb a single word of what was taught in class today!

However, because her grades were usually quite good, the teachers always treated students with better grades more leniently, so no teacher bothered her all day.

I slept so well!

"School has been over for a while now, and someone is looking for Sifang."

Katsura Kotonoha glanced timidly toward the classroom door, where Sato Kaoru stood nervously, looking slightly embarrassed.

"Ah...Brother!"

Yomo Choko was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to her senses. She thanked Katsura Kotonoha apologetically, then immediately picked up her unopened schoolbag and ran out of the classroom.

"Is he Sifang's older brother?"

Katsura Kotonoha glanced at Sato Kaoru standing at the door again. The latter was wearing a faded school uniform, and his hair looked a bit rustic. He also spoke to girls timidly.

In short, her temperament is very different from that of her classmate Sifang.

"Brother!" Sifang Diezi called out sweetly, her hands behind her back, "Why did you suddenly come to see us today?"

"Good afternoon, Choko..."

Sato Kaoru glanced around somewhat awkwardly. He was never quite used to Choko's cheerful personality, and every time they met, they would attract a lot of attention.

Fortunately, school has been over for a while now, and there are hardly any people left in the hallway.

"When I called you this morning, you seemed a little off, and I was a bit worried about you."

For some reason, after the phone call this morning, Sato Kaoru had a strange feeling that she couldn't quite put her finger on. Although Choko kept saying that she was fine, she still wanted to see for herself.

"We told you it's okay, it's just that I slept in the wrong position last night, but it's completely fine now!"

Damn it, because of Kitahara-kun, I actually have to lie to the prince. I'm so upset. But it's probably best to keep this from the prince, right?

Sleeping in the same bed with a boy in the same grade and being... there's just no way to explain this!

"That's good. Actually, what I wanted to do today was..." Sato Kaoru gritted her teeth, finally mustering the courage to pull two movie tickets out of her bag, "...I wanted to go to the movies with Heichoko..."

"Eh eh eh?"

Four-sided Butterfly covered her mouth in surprise.

"Can't you?"

Seeing the girl's reaction, Sato Kaoru couldn't help but feel nervous. Was Choko angry? She had been busy with tutoring and studying lately and hadn't contacted her at all, so it was only natural that she was angry.

"I'm just a little surprised. My brother invited me to see a movie or something, so of course I'll go."

Sifang Diezi chuckled softly, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "Has our brother really finally seen the light?"

Japanese high school students usually finish school around 3 p.m., while Kaoru Sato's movie ticket was for 5 p.m., so there was plenty of time.

Yoko used her phone to ask the student council for leave, since her date with her brother was on the back burner.

The two left the campus and took a tram at the station to the movie theater on the fifth floor of Rokutenma Shopping Center, where Kitahara Sousuke had shopped the day before.

"Is it this one?"

Yoko pointed to a large poster on the cinema wall, which was the movie that Kitahara Sosuke and the others had just watched yesterday—"The Obscure Love".

"Yeah, I heard from my classmates that some of them went to see this movie over the weekend, and it seems like the girls really liked it, so I tried booking it."

Sato Kaoru nodded and explained, "If Choko doesn't like it, we can change it."

"This is the one we want to see!"

My friend Xingyue recommended this to me yesterday, and I didn't expect my brother to bring me to see it today.

The ticket check-in process was simple, and because the screening was close to lunchtime, the theater was only half full on weekends. However, even for the same movie, different people had vastly different experiences.

At first, Yoko watched it very carefully. The concept of one body with two souls was very interesting, and it was also a romantic comedy plot with one man and two women, which made her start to put herself in the female protagonist's perspective.

Maybe I have a split personality too.

On one hand, she is the gentle, refined, and virtuous eldest daughter of the Shikata family; on the other hand, she is Shikata Choko, who defies her family's orders and secretly runs away to Tokyo in pursuit of happiness; and at a deeper level, she is also Kozuko-chan, who is free-spirited and unrestrained.

So, will the male protagonist choose the younger sister or the older sister? Or will he want them both?

If the prince were the male lead, would he accept my other side? Sifang Diezi pondered this while keeping a close eye on the development of the subsequent plot.

As the plot unfolded, the film ended with a subtle cliffhanger before finally concluding.

"Ah, what a pity, my sister has disappeared..."

Sifang Diezi pouted unhappily. This kind of open ending is so annoying. I want a clearer ending!

"However, it's only natural that the older sister disappeared, right? After all, the male protagonist liked the younger sister from the beginning."

Sato Kaoru didn't care. Compared to her older sister who was wild and had no limits when it came to having fun, she felt that the quiet younger sister was more suited to be with the male protagonist.

That kind of personality always gave him a feeling of being unable to control it.

"But I think my sister is great too. She even gave her life for a boy."

Yoko was somewhat dissatisfied with Sato Kaoru's answer. Girls are emotional and romantic creatures, and she preferred the unrestrained, selfless older sister personality.

It's as if, in order to be with the prince, she broke free from the constraints of her family, abandoned the image of a proper young lady from the Sifang family who followed the family's mission step by step, and strived to pursue her own happiness.

The quiet, even somewhat introverted younger sister would never do something like following in her brother's footsteps and running off to Tokyo alone to attend school!

From that year onward, in order to be with her brother, it was the younger sister who died, and the older sister who survived.

"Ultimately speaking, I don't think that kind of personality is suitable as a girlfriend. I prefer the quiet personality of a younger sister."

Sato Kaoru said, stroking his chin, completely unaware that the girl beside him looked somewhat unnatural because of his words.

"Yeah, yeah, it's a bit too crazy after all..."

Sifang Diezi forced a smile.

"Yeah, that's crazy."

Chapter 129 If...

"That's insane."

These words kept swirling in Sifang Diezi's mind, going around and around, bombarding her ears incessantly.

She couldn't even hear what Sato Kaoru said to her afterwards.

In addition, Sato Kaoru is a rather introverted person, and usually when they go out to play, it is Yomo Choko who is the one to liven up the atmosphere. Now that she has fallen silent, the atmosphere between the two of them has suddenly become a bit strange.

Am we mistaken? The prince didn't mean anything by it; he just prefers girls with quiet personalities.

It's okay, we can become that kind of person too, a social armor or something. Haven't we been playing that role in front of our classmates since junior high?

But I also really want to tell the person I like my true self, whether it's the good side or the bad side.

Who wouldn't want their partner to accept them completely, good or bad? But, will my brother really accept me as I am?

The Four-Sided Butterfly who doesn't want to be constrained, the Four-Sided Butterfly who wants to break free from the shackles of rules, the Four-Sided Butterfly who pursues happiness, and the Four-Sided Butterfly with even deeper, strange quirks...

After telling the other party these things, will my brother and I still be able to laugh happily like we do now?

For the first time, Yoko began to doubt her future with Kaoru Sato.

When I escaped alone from the Yoko family in Kyoto, I didn't feel that way. When Sato Kaoru repeatedly told me to "wait a little longer," I didn't feel that way. Every time I stayed up all night waiting for her reply, I didn't feel that way...

She firmly believed that the two of us would eventually have a happy future.

Now I suddenly realize that things aren't as simple as I thought.

If I were a square butterfly, I wouldn't have the courage to abandon everything and run away with you. But even though I gave up everything to become a "square butterfly," you said you preferred the quiet, square butterfly...

What should we do?
