Anime Crossover: My Girlfriend Has a System

"That's good."

Rubbing his stomach, Ye Ziye didn't feel hungry at all, so he simply gave up on the idea of ​​having brunch before noon.

"Ye Zi, do you still stand by your promise to practice swordsmanship with me?"

Artoria sat down next to Ye Ziye, looked up at the boy beside her, and her eyes held a hint of expectation.

This was something she had been looking forward to for a long time, especially since Ye Ziye's swordsmanship was getting better and better, to the point where he could barely fight her, which made her even more excited.

"What I promised you, I will certainly keep."

Glancing at Artoria's ahoge fluttering in the wind, Ye Ziye casually remarked that this was a belief he had always upheld: keeping one's word.

Ye Ziye had been holding a grudge against Altria for breaking his promise, and now he was even more determined to keep his promise to this girl.

The cicadas chirped all around, and listening to Ye Ziye's light, airy voice, a happy expression clearly appeared on Artoria's lovely face.

She knew this wouldn't be the last practice session; the Service Club's assignment was over, and the rest of the summer vacation belonged to her and Ye Ziye.

Although she didn't know why she had such thoughts, Artoria couldn't help but feel happy at the thought of being alone with Ye Ziye in the future.

Eating chilled watermelon, enjoying the air conditioning, watching my favorite movie, with Ye Ziye by my side—that's all I need for a summer.

If you occasionally have a stomachache, you can drink the stomach-soothing porridge made by Ye Ziye, and then you will recover quickly.

For Artoria, this summer was the first and most anticipated one. All her ordinary fantasies could be grounded in reality, because this was the ordinary daily life that the two of them would experience every day.

No special plans or trips are needed; this alone is enough.

"When are we having lunch?"

"Twelve o'clock, perhaps."

Ye Ziye glanced at the clock and began to speak.

He could have done it earlier, but he didn't want to, because it would be strange to be taught a lesson by Artoria's petite body.

He was surrounded by many girls, all of whom were outstanding, but he felt no pressure because he was an even more outstanding person.

However, he will be defeated only when facing Artoria.

In terms of kendo, this girl is like an insurmountable mountain. Although he doesn't care, after being the one initiating things for so long, it's still quite uncomfortable to be the one initiating things occasionally.

His kendo skills are improving very slowly now. If he practices every day, he could probably reach level 5 in two weeks.

The problem is, he's incredibly lazy, so he can only improve this skill slowly every day.

"it is good."

Unaware of Ye Ziye's ulterior motives, Artoria nodded happily.

As someone with the potential to be a king, Artoria is not entirely a cute girl; she still possesses a certain pride, and swordsmanship is what she is most proud of.

Every time I defeat Ye Ziye, I feel a little bit of joy, though I don't know why.

Both boys and girls have their own thoughts, which shine brightly in the hot summer. However, these are not bad thoughts, just a embellishment of summer vacation.

Chapter 313

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the scorching sun baked the air, and the heat waves outside were visible in layers.

During this time of day, you can hardly see anyone outside; most people stay at home enjoying the air conditioning.

Ye Ziye and Artoria did the same. After finishing their kendo practice, they both snuggled up on the sofa, enjoying the blissful feeling brought by the air conditioning.

However, at this moment, Ye Ziye felt happier than Altria because he could eat ice cream, while the girl couldn't.

Feeling the longing gaze of the girl beside him, Ye Ziye felt no guilt whatsoever. He simply felt that his choice was really good. Although the ice cream was a bit expensive, it tasted pretty good.

"leaf..."

"No."

Before Artoria could say anything, Ye Ziye refused outright, knowing exactly what the girl would say—something like wanting to try a bite.

A few days ago, this request would certainly have been allowed, but today, it is not permitted.

After being rejected, Artoria pouted. For her, being able to look but not touch was the most unbearable thing. The exhilarating feeling she had just experienced after defeating Ye Ziye was gone.

Shaking her head, Artoria forced herself not to watch Ye Ziye eat. She just needed to get through these few days, and then she could eat to her heart's content.

Just in case, she had secretly hidden some ice cream away, planning to enjoy it in a few days.

With this thought in mind, Artoria's mood improved significantly, and even the ahoge (cowlick) on her head started to twitch.

Ye Ziye naturally noticed this scene and silently finished his ice cream. He knew what Artoria was thinking because it was written all over her face.

What the girl didn't know was that the ice cream he was eating was one of the ones they had hidden before.

Ye Ziye couldn't predict the future; he just hid the ice cream among a pile of dishes, making it hard for Ye Ziye not to notice.

Imagining Artoria's expression when she discovers that the ice cream she had hidden has disappeared, Ye Ziye fell into a daze.

With the chirping of cicadas typical of summer in the air and the sweet fragrance of young girls in the air, there's nothing better than drifting into a daydream.

After a moment of stunned silence, the vibration of his phone broke his train of thought, pulling Ye Ziye out of his daze.

It wasn't a message from anyone; it was an automatic push notification from my phone. Artoria took out her own phone and clearly received it as well.

"Ye Zi, there's a fireworks display today!"

After browsing for a while, Artoria raised her head, her emerald green eyes sparkling with a unique light.

The island nation's fireworks festivals are very distinctive, a feature that, in the eyes of people around the world, can rival cherry blossoms.

Altria had naturally heard of this before; having lived in this country for so long, her phone would send her a similar message every time this happened.

In her first year, Artoria, still a child, went to the fireworks festival alone. The candied apples were delicious, but because of her height, she couldn't see the beautiful fireworks and could only see occasional lights in the crowd.

So after the first one, she never went to a fireworks festival again, and staying at home was pretty much the same to her.

This year is a little different. With Ye Ziye by my side, it seems like going out to play is more interesting. It's been a long time since we've been out, and Altria wants to go this time.

Although she knew that Ye Ziye would accompany her if she said she wanted to go, she didn't want to do it; it felt like being forced.

She wanted to wait for Ye Ziye to make his own decision; if the boy wasn't willing, then she wouldn't go either.

"A fireworks display..."

Ye Ziye murmured softly. Anyone with even a slight understanding of Japanese culture would know this term, and he was no exception.

He didn't really understand why setting off fireworks had to be such a grand affair, since it wasn't the Lunar New Year.

"Go."

After thinking for a while, Ye Ziye said this to Artoria.

He suddenly remembered that fireworks displays were something he could write into his novel, and since he had finally traveled through time, it would be good to experience it.

Experiencing local customs and traditions is an essential part of any time traveler's journey.

"Great!"

Seeing how much pain Ye Ziye was in agreeing, Artoria's eyes lit up, and she immediately sat up from the sofa.

"Okay, let's get ready, we're going to the mall to buy some things."

Based on Ye Ziye's past life experience watching anime, a fireworks festival is not just about watching fireworks; there are many things that need to be prepared.

What are you going to the mall for?

Artoria was taken aback. It was so hot outside, and given Ye Ziye's personality, he definitely wouldn't want to go out.

"Buy some groceries, we're going to make bento boxes to eat there, and we also need to buy a kimono. I see other girls wearing kimonos at this time of year, you should buy one too, you'll definitely look better than them."

To be honest, Artoria is very beautiful. With her foreign face and petite figure, she would definitely look stunning in a kimono.

"A kimono?"

After being praised, Artoria was not shy, but began to consider the pros and cons of wearing a kimono. Her attire had always been based on convenience, which was a habit of martial artists.

So even after living in Japan for so long, she doesn't own a kimono because it's too much trouble.

"Okay, let's hurry up and get ready. We need to replenish the supplies at home, and also buy some ice cream and fruit, we're out of them."

"I'll change my clothes right away."

Artoria put on a serious expression, got up from the sofa and went into her bedroom. If she had said so earlier, she would have gone to prepare.

Watching Artoria leave, Ye Ziye also prepared to go back and change into something else. He was dressed too casually, and it wouldn't be appropriate to walk around outside.

As he stood up, a sharp pain shot through him, and Ye Ziye gasped.

It was a lingering effect from sparring with Artoria. Imagining the girl's adorable appearance, Ye Ziye couldn't help but shake his head.

No matter how familiar it is, such an external environment and power always give people a contradictory feeling.

Chapter 314

Under the scorching sun, Ye Ziye walked cautiously in the shade, as if she would die if she were exposed to the sunlight.

As for Artoria, she followed behind, stepping on Ye Ziye's shadow. She didn't care, because even in the shade, it was still very hot.

The route to the mall had been taken countless times, and even Artoria remembered it by heart.

In this kind of weather, the two of them didn't speak while walking on the street until they entered the mall and felt the refreshingly cool air, at which point they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Ziye wiped the sweat from his forehead. Sometimes he really wished the system would grant him some fantastical skills, such as heat resistance.

"Ye Zi, won't it be hot watching the fireworks tonight?"

Artoria suddenly thought of this problem. Kimono is different from the dress she is wearing now. For the sake of that somewhat intricate beauty, kimono is made of thicker fabric.

It's so hot at noon today. If it's still like this tonight, then wearing a kimono will be really unbearable.

"Don't worry, I checked the weather forecast. The temperature will be fine tonight, so you definitely won't be hot wearing this."

Ye Ziye waved his phone; the screen showed a beautiful female anchor. Most TV stations now use this tactic to increase viewership.

"That's good."

Artoria patted the non-existent female features and let out a long sigh of relief.

Holding Ye Ziye's sleeve, the two walked in the direction shown on the mall map. Although Ye Ziye wasn't bad with directions, she had never been to a place that sold kimonos before, so it was better to make some preparations.

Artoria followed silently to the side. Ye Ziye was so tall that she couldn't see anything around her at all.

Sometimes she wonders if, in other people's eyes, the height difference between the two of them is too great, making them seem somewhat mismatched.
