Anime Crossover: My Girlfriend Has a System

At this moment, Artoria regretted it a little. She should have not cared about local customs and had said earlier that she didn't need to wear clogs.

"Ye Zi, this is the first time I've ever walked barefoot."

Feeling the wonderful sensation under her feet, Artoria was moved to reflect. She usually stayed at home and had only ever seen a lawn at school, but even at school, she couldn't take off her shoes.

"This is my first time too, and it feels pretty good."

Walking slowly, Ye Ziye closed his eyes contentedly. He didn't have that wonderful feeling of being one with nature, but the lawn here was pure and thick, and it felt really comfortable to walk on.

"Yes (bceb), that's true."

Looking at her pristine white dress, Artoria felt that she could go for walks more often in the future.

The sky had just begun to darken, and the lingering warmth of the setting sun remained on the horizon, creating a magical feeling.

As more and more people gathered around them, the two quickened their pace, wanting to explore a bit more before the fireworks display began.

Ye Ziye wanted to gather material, while Artoria was simply craving it.

"Ye Zi, your feet are really big."

While putting on her shoes, Artoria truthfully said that she usually didn't feel anything when stepping on Ye Ziye's feet, but now that the two of them were sitting down to put on their shoes, the difference was immediately apparent.

"well enough."

Ye Ziye felt that he was of normal size, and for his height, he was not big at all. However, compared to Artoria's size 35 feet, he was a behemoth.

"Let's go."

Looking at the crowds around them, Ye Ziye put on her shoes and got up to leave. Artoria did the same, but stopped abruptly as she stood up.

"What's wrong?"

Ye Ziye asked, her tone tinged with doubt.

"I've forgotten how to walk in these shoes."

Her cute little face had a serious expression, and she said some strange things, which made Ye Ziye pause for a moment, and then a slight smile appeared on her lips.

That expression, paired with that tone, is really quite interesting.

"Can't you get out of this?"

"Hmm, it's a strange feeling, I just can't take the first step."

Artoria had a strange expression on her face; she was experiencing this feeling for the first time, perhaps because she had been too close to nature just now.

"What should we do then..."

After laughing it off, Ye Ziye began to carefully consider a solution; he could roughly understand Altria's feelings.

After thinking for a moment, he came up with a solution, walked up to Artoria, and squatted down.

"Come on, I'll carry you."

“This is not good…”

Artoria was never a fussy person. Normally, she would have agreed without hesitation. But today, Ye Ziye was also wearing wooden clogs, which made it difficult for him to move around. Carrying her on his back would easily cause him to twist his ankle.

"There's nothing wrong with it. It's just a short distance. It'll be fine once I buy you slippers. You're not heavy."

Ye Ziye's back wasn't very broad, possessing a delicate and youthful quality unique to teenagers, but to Artoria, it was the broadest possible back.

Chapter 320

Artoria tentatively walked behind Ye Ziye, feeling a little uneasy for some reason.

She questioned whether she possessed the beauty of a young girl. Her kendo training from childhood had made her less flexible, and she had some muscle on her body.

Based on what she knew, boys should generally prefer soft and cuddly things, so she was a little worried about that.

But then Artoria shook her head. She realized she was overthinking things. The boy squatting in front of her was Ye Ziye, the boy she spent every day with. How could he possibly care about such things?

"Hurry up and get on."

Ye Ziye's expression remained calm; he had no idea what Artoria was thinking.

To others, a boy carrying a girl on his back could only mean they are relatives or lovers, but his relationship with Artoria is different from both, and he doesn't feel uncomfortable doing this.

He was originally someone who hated physical contact with others.

"it is good."

Artoria nodded, a serious expression returning to her cute little face. She placed her hand on Ye Ziye's shoulder and then leaned down.

It was a very strange feeling, and Artoria didn't know how to describe it. It was as if her whole body relaxed. She could feel Ye Ziye's body temperature, which was much higher than hers.

Ye Ziye was the same. Having lived for so long, this was the first time he had carried someone on his back. Altria was very light, much lighter than he had expected.

If it weren't for that strand of golden hair slipping off his shoulder, he wouldn't have known that the girl was already clinging to his back.

Two slender arms slowly reached from behind to the front, and Ye Ziye slowly stood up, supporting Artoria's knees.

"Ye Zi, I'm not that heavy, am I..."

Lying on Ye Ziye's back, Artoria's voice was a little muffled. As a girl, she was always worried about this situation, even if she didn't care about her appearance.

"It's not heavy, it's very light."

After a brief sound, Ye Ziye lifted Artoria's body up a little. He felt that even if the girl rode on his shoulders, he wouldn't feel any pressure.

"That's good."

It didn't sound like a sigh of relief; it just seemed like a statement that offered some reassurance.

Ye Ziye picked up Artoria's wooden clogs. These shoes might not be used again in the future, but leaving them in a place like this was not a good idea.

Having determined the direction he wanted to go, Ye Ziye did not hesitate and left the place with Artoria on his back.

The wooden clogs creaked as they stepped on the ground. Even with his back turned, Ye Ziye's height still stood out among the men in casual clothes.

The duo naturally attracted a lot of attention, but having gone through so much, they didn't care about that.

Ye Ziye searched for a stall selling slippers, while Artoria craned her neck, curiously looking around. This was the first time in her life she had such a high vantage point.

It was also her first time breathing the air at such a height, and for her, it was a wonderful experience.

"Leaf, there."

Seemingly noticing something, Artoria pointed to a spot with her small, white finger.

Ye Ziye looked over and saw a takoyaki stall with thick smoke billowing out. There were quite a few people queuing up, and it looked like the business was doing very well.

Ye Ziye had never made this snack at home, firstly because it was troublesome, and secondly because she didn't have the necessary tools.

Do you want some?

"Ah."

Artoria nodded, her chin resting on Ye Ziye's shoulder.

Besides being with Ye Ziye, she also wanted to try the local snacks at the fireworks festival.

Although it certainly won't taste as good as Ye Ziye's cooking, it would be a shame to come to this kind of event and not eat anything.

These were the words Artoria's classmates said to her: on any grand festival, girls can wear beautiful clothes and eat delicious food, and on this day they don't need to worry about their weight.

Hearing what Artoria said, Ye Ziye nodded.

Actually, he didn't really want Artoria to eat this kind of food, not because he disliked it, but because he had already made a bento box.

But since it's a holiday like this, let's not worry about these trivial matters. It wouldn't hurt to let Artoria try some street food.

His original purpose was to gather material, and seeing different things can be helpful in gathering material.

With these thoughts in mind, Ye Ziye didn't hesitate any longer and strode towards the takoyaki stall. Along the way, everyone consciously made way for her.

In island nations, Ye Ziye's height is incredibly imposing.

During their walk, both Ye Ziye and Artoria received envious glances from the opposite sex to varying degrees.

These two are so dazzling that either of them would be the object of admiration if they stood there alone, but now that they are so close, it gives people a strange feeling, a feeling unique to humans.

There were about four or five people in line in front of the takoyaki shop. Ye Zi, who usually hates queuing, was unusually gentlemanly today and was obediently queuing up for Artoria.

The people in front unconsciously quickened their pace. A girl blushed slightly when she saw Ye Ziye, and then quickly lowered her head when she saw Altria.

The girl had a few freckles on her face, which weren't unattractive; instead, they added to her youthful charm.

But no matter what kind of girl she is, she would feel inferior when she sees Artoria.

For some reason, just one glance was enough to give Ye Ziye strange thoughts.

He shook his head, realizing that he had been quite sentimental lately, connecting small things to all sorts of other things.

He was never like this before; perhaps the girl beside him has changed him a lot.

Like Artoria, spending a lot of time with a girl like that might make you more serious and cute, and it's nice to think about strange things from time to time.

Just like how he pondered the structure of Artoria's ahoge (cowlick) every day.

Chapter 321

The cute girl with freckles left, and Ye Ziye also withdrew the strange thoughts in her heart.

He suddenly realized that perhaps in the stories he was writing, there shouldn't only be the main characters; minor characters who passed by could also be depicted.

Whether it's Artoria, Ms. Kato, or even Yukino Yukinoshita and the two girls from the student council, they all hold special significance in his life.

Therefore, these girls occupy a significant portion of his story. The stirring in his heart caused by the girl he had just met made him realize that he was no longer the person he used to be.

Perhaps this trip to the fireworks festival wasn't entirely for inspiration, but more about wanting to get out and about with Artoria.

He is a greedy person and always wants fairness, so he wants to treat the girls around him equally.

As Ye Ziye walked slowly forward, all sorts of things flooded his mind. He didn't even know why he was examining himself at this moment.

There was no one in front of me, so this queue wasn't too bad.

Hello, what would you like to order?

Because of the thick smoke, Ye Ziye hadn't been able to see the owner's face clearly until now. It wasn't the kind uncle she remembered, but a plump old woman with a friendly smile on her face.

"I want to buy the best-selling takoyaki."

Ye Ziye didn't speak, but Artoria spoke first, sticking her head out from behind Ye Ziye and resting it on his shoulder.
