Crossover Anime/Manga - Not Everyday Life

Savior: [Nothing happened last night.]

Yukino Yukinoshita: [As expected.]

Savior: [How's the club doing?]

Yukino Yukinoshita: [Not approved yet.]

Savior: [Can't you put in some effort?]

After sending the message, Natsumi never received a reply from Yukino Yukinoshita.

It seems like something has upset her again.

Natsumi wasn't worried about Yukino Yukinoshita getting angry, since he didn't care about her status anyway.

Moreover, being straightforward with her and saying whatever comes to mind is actually more to her liking.

Putting his phone away, Xia Sheng continued reading his junior high school textbooks, which he had brought with him.

Iroha Isshiki's middle school entrance exam is just around the corner.

In the classroom, there was only Xia Sheng and a few classmates he didn't know well; they had arrived early to copy homework.

Yui Yuigahama didn't arrive early today, so Natsuo had no one to chat with and could only diligently review old material.

His final exams were no longer a big problem; it was Isshiki Iroha's middle school entrance exams that were the real issue.

Ultimately, it's not yourself; there are many unstable factors.

He could only do his best to help and then see how she performed.

The so-called "leaving it to fate".

In Japan, classes start late, and girls need to dress up before going out. Yui Yuigahama doesn't come early; she usually goes with Yumiko Miura and the others.

When the three arrived at the classroom, it was almost time for class to begin.

"Good morning, Natsuki."

The first person to greet Natsume was Hina Ebina.

"Good morning, Ebina, and Miura, and Yuihama."

"Good morning... By the way, were we just passing by?" Miura Yumiko asked, dissatisfied.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. Ebina was the one who greeted me first. I like people who take the initiative."

"You mean you like taking the initiative? You mean if a girl confessed her feelings to you, you would immediately say yes?"

"No, that won't happen." Xia Sheng shook his head.

"Didn't you say you like proactive people?"

"I didn't say it was a girl. I like it when the guy takes the initiative too," Xia Sheng explained with a smile.

"The man? Natsumi, you wouldn't be..." Miura Yumiko clearly misunderstood, her eyes widening considerably.

Girls always tend to have wild fantasies about this.

"What are you thinking?" Xia Sheng asked with a dark expression.

"My sexual orientation is perfectly normal, okay?"

"Then why did you say the guy likes you too, and that you're so handsome, why don't you have any friends?"

"The 'like' I'm talking about is in a platonic sense. You're the only one whose mind is always on romantic relationships," Xia Sheng explained irritably.

"Okay..." Miura Yumiko shook her head with a hint of regret.

"If the girl confessed her feelings to you, would you say yes?"

"It depends."

"It depends on the situation?"

Hina Ebina and Yui Yuigahama also looked at him curiously.

"If I didn't know her, I would definitely refuse. If I do know her, it depends on how well we get along."

"Isn't it normal for people to date first and then get to know each other better?" Miura Yumiko continued to ask.

"That's just one-sided affection from the one who's confessing, and maybe he doesn't even know the other person's true nature," Xia Sheng shook his head.

In his view, such interactions were nothing more than being driven by the trend of dating, conforming to the atmosphere, and being impulsive due to excessive hormone secretion.

Those who agree do the same.

However, this is already a common phenomenon in modern times: get to know each other first, and then cultivate feelings.

If it doesn't work out, we can always break up.

Feelings have become cheap.

Xia Sheng prioritizes liking someone first, then pursuing them, aiming to increase the other person's positive feelings and make them fall in love with him.

Or it could be mutual affection.

Such interactions are warmer and last longer.

"Isn't everyone like this?" Yui Yuigahama said.

"And what about you? If a complete stranger suddenly confessed their feelings to you, would you say yes?"

"This...no way." Yui Yuigahama thought for a moment, then immediately shook her head in reply.

"I don't think so. I feel like it would be awkward to be around each other since we're not familiar with each other," Yumiko Miura added.

"What if he's handsome? Or famous?" Xia Sheng asked again.

"I still can't. It seems no different from lust at first sight." Yui Yuigahama shook her head again.

"That's how it is." Before Miura Yumiko could answer, Natsuo smiled and nodded at Yuigahama Yui.

"But, won't not dating make me seem out of touch? Won't I seem like I don't fit in or am not popular?" Hina Ebina suddenly asked.

"What does it matter? You're not living for them. As long as your friends understand you, that's enough."

"Wow—Natsuki, you seem to have a very clear mind."

"I think it's rather old-fashioned," Miura Yumiko joked with a smile.

"But this is not bad either~" Yui Yuigahama agreed with Natsuo's point of view.

"It seems you two get along very well," Yumiko Miura joked.

"Yumiko!" Yui Yuigahama said shyly, her cheeks flushed.

Xia Sheng didn't interrupt; it was time to avoid getting himself into trouble.

Fortunately, the school bell rang soon after, and the two stopped fighting.

After the two morning classes ended, Yukino Yukinoshita didn't come to find Natsuo, but he was still being watched by the other students.

Perhaps they were curious as to why Yukino Yukinoshita hadn't come to find him.

These people are obsessed with gossip.

Xia Sheng couldn't stand their stares anymore and couldn't concentrate on his book, so he left the classroom to go to the toilet alone.

To his surprise, he encountered an angel right at the entrance to the restroom.

"Shiina-kun, are you here to use the restroom too?" Natsumi said, noticing that she was alone.

"..." Shiina Mahiru looked at him speechlessly.

"What's wrong? Is it because I can't talk to you at school?"

"That's not the problem, that's the problem you asked," Shiina Mahiru explained dismissively.

"What are you asking a woman?"

"What's the big deal? Didn't you come here to use the restroom?"

"...What else could I be here for?" Shiina Mahiru sighed in exasperation.

"That's true."

"Do you know that's sexual harassment?"

"I even asked at the toilet entrance, does that count?" Xia Sheng was shocked.

"You know it's in the toilet? Isn't that just asking the obvious?" Shiina Mahiru rolled her eyes at him.

It makes it even cuter.

"Okay... I just rarely see you at school, so I thought I'd strike up a conversation."

"I really don't want to talk to you about this place."

"Alright, alright, I'm going to the restroom first, you can go ahead." Xia Sheng waved his hand and went into the men's restroom first.

"..." Shiina Mahiru hesitated for a moment at the toilet door, but then went into the other side.

After resolving the issue, Natsumi returned to her classroom without waiting for Shiina Mahiru.

Just let the angel feel embarrassed; don't overdo it.

After a day of classes, Natsumi went to Iroha Isshiki's house again after school and formally tutored her in the living room.

I passed yesterday's interview, of course.

Next week is the high school entrance exam, and Xia Sheng plans to focus on teaching her the knowledge points she doesn't understand, and then have her practice questions to fully grasp the concepts.

Simple and straightforward.

Isshiki Iroha was also very clever; he learned and used it with ease.

Xia Sheng guessed that she just didn't like listening to science classes before.

As expected, after the tutoring session ended, he was asked to stay for dinner again.

With no worries this time, and having already eaten yesterday, Xia Sheng readily accepted.

But I feel quite embarrassed that I'm taking their tutoring fees and freeloading meals.

After finishing his meal and returning home, Xia Sheng took a shower and continued to expand his knowledge.

It wasn't until after 11 o'clock that Xia Sheng felt sleepy. He put down his textbook, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.

Nothing happened that night.
