Crossover Anime: I'm Kasumigaoka Utaha's Brother

Once the phone is returned, the fairy will happily say while playing the game, "Brother, thank you! I love you the most!"

Chris sometimes even thought that "fairies don't really get angry." Well, that thought had been there until a dozen seconds ago, but it had completely vanished by now.

Without a doubt, Yamada Fairy was truly angry, angrier than ever before!

"Little sister, I really didn't mean to threaten Teacher Baili at all. Besides, with Teacher's abilities, even if I used all my strength, I wouldn't be able to threaten him, right?" Chris's voice became somewhat low, and Baili Xiao could even hear a faint pleading tone in it.

Yamada Fairy's breath caught in her throat, and she glared at Chris fiercely—(Why is my brother so stupid today? That's not what I'm angry about. You suddenly said something about marriage to Hyakusho-sensei? This makes me... Luckily, only the teacher and Ms. Kousaka are here today. If everyone else in the studio were here...)

Thinking of this, Yamada Fairy couldn't help but shudder—having been in the studio for so long, she knew very well that Eriri and the others harbored considerable affection for Hyakuri Xiao!

"Alright, brother! Now that these houses are in my name, they should be fine as the new residence for the studio, right?" After saying that, Yamada Fairy looked at Baili Xiao, seeking his opinion: "T-Teacher, don't listen to your brother's nonsense. It's not a dowry. I just want to do something for the studio, is that okay?"

“Of course.” Baili Xiao smiled slightly, reached out and touched Yamada Elf’s blond hair. The latter seemed to enjoy his gesture and let out a “hee hee” laugh. “Then, in order not to delay everyone’s work during this period, let’s move over in the next couple of days!”

...

On the way back to the Kasumigaoka family home, Akane Kousaka drove while secretly glancing at the rearview mirror with a smile on her face—Hyori Akira had originally wanted to sit in the passenger seat, but she had righteously refused.

At this moment, Baili Xiao was sitting in the back seat with Yamada Fairy, with less than 30 centimeters between them.

Yamada Elf stood with her legs together, her small hands clenched into fists on her knees, her head slightly lowered, her eyes fixed on her toes—she had maintained this posture ever since she got on the bus, her originally soft body always tense and never relaxed.

On the contrary, Baili Xiao leaned against the car window, turned her face towards the outside, and stared blankly at the scenery in the distance.

In his opinion, what had just happened was completely insignificant and even made him want to laugh—he clearly remembered that when Iori Hashima, Izumi's older brother, first came to the Kasumigaoka family, he had implored Hyakuri Akira with a deep bow, begging her to "take care of Izumi forever," a gesture remarkably similar to Chris's actions today...

(Should we say they're all brothers who worry themselves sick over their younger sisters?)

With his mind wandering to all sorts of random thoughts, Baili Xiao's lips gradually curled into a smile. Just then, he heard Yamada Elf's voice in his ear: "Teacher, please don't take what my brother said today seriously."

The sound was so low that it could be described as "as faint as a mosquito's buzz."

Yamada Elf didn't raise her head—she didn't have the courage to face Baili Xiao at this moment, because she could feel that the heat on her cheeks was no less than before—she paused slightly, then continued, "Ugh, I really don't understand what's wrong with my brother today. How could a beautiful light novel writer like me be worried about not getting married? Besides, besides, he actually wants to marry me off to my teacher... Oh no, I don't mean marrying a teacher is bad, I just..."

He forced himself to speak in a nonchalant tone, but the rest of his words became increasingly hurried. Finally, as if he had bitten his tongue, he let out a soft "Mmm" and shut his mouth in grievance.

“This isn’t the Yamada Fairy I know.” Baili Xiao grinned. “The Yamada Fairy in my heart, even in this situation, would laugh and say things like, ‘I’m a beautiful girl from the Demon Realm, how could I marry a mortal so easily?’ Don’t be nervous, I don’t care. On the contrary, I think you’re the one who’s overthinking it.”

Upon hearing Baili Xiao's words, Yamada Fairy slowly raised her face, her bright eyes seeing the former's smile.

She took a deep breath, then suddenly put her hands on her hips, her tone returning to normal: "Exactly! My teacher understands me best! How could a demon princess like me marry just anyone? Even my teacher! He'd have to at least get a warrior's certificate and defeat the evil dragon to marry me! Ahahaha..."

A clear laugh rang out in the carriage. Akane Akasaka withdrew her gaze from the rearview mirror and a smile appeared on her lips.

(The weather is really nice today...)

Chapter 0132 The Studio Moves! (3/5 Please Subscribe)

"Wow! Is this our new home?" Hashima Izumi jumped out of the car with shining eyes, looking excitedly at the exquisitely decorated villa in front of her. Her hometown was not wealthy. Even though they had a two-story house, the decoration was extremely simple. It couldn't even compare to the Kasumigaoka family's house, let alone this villa that was full of British architectural style.

"It's just so-so. My dad's workplace is much more luxurious than this." Eriri got out of the car with her backpack, her eyes sweeping over the villa. She paused for a moment, then said with a touch of arrogance.

Her father, qun85, was a second-in-command of the Kingdom of Great Britain, so his workplace couldn't be too bad, but... the ownership there belonged to the "British Royal Family," which was a level lower than "ownership: Yamada Fairy 04278" (it wasn't hers).

The car door opened, and first came the soft "tap-tap" of black high heels touching the ground. Then came the sight of long, beautiful legs encased in black stockings, without an ounce of excess fat. The curves of her calves and thighs were perfect. Kasumigaoka Utaha got out of the car, gently tucked her hair behind her ear, exhaled, and turned to look at Eriri.

"No matter when, Sawamura-kun's mouth is always so stubborn... 327. Is this an essential tsundere trait? I'll write it down for now, maybe I can use it when describing a loser later."

"Kasumigaoka Utaha! As a light novel author, don't you know that using the same word for the same person repeatedly will bore readers?" Eriri glared fiercely at Kasumigaoka Utaha, the grinding of her teeth clearly audible. "Or are you simply out of ideas? Someone as cunning and treacherous as you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Kasumigaoka Utaha's lips curled into a smile—Eriri's exasperated retort meant she had won—and she interrupted Eriri in her usual infuriating tone: "No, I just think the term 'loser' really suits you perfectly, there's no need to change it..."

"Ugh! Ahhh! Kasumigaoka Utaha!" Eriri gasped for breath, her two golden ponytails flaring with anger. However, Baili Xiao's slightly helpless voice rang out at this moment: "Alright, your daily bickering ends here. Didn't either of you realize... Sagiri is no longer able to function?"

In Machida Sonoko's car, Kasumigaoka Utaha sat in the passenger seat, while Eriri, Hashima Izumi, and Izumi Sagiri sat in the back. The two were bickering as usual, and Machida Sonoko and Hashima Izumi were watching the drama with great interest, unaware that Izumi Sagiri's demeanor in the back seat was becoming increasingly strange...

"Oh right, right! Sagiri-chan, I'm so sorry, so sorry." Hashima Izumi was stunned for a moment, then as if she suddenly remembered something, she hurriedly opened the car door and helped Izumi Sagiri, whose face was covered by her sportswear and whose silver hair was exposed in the sunlight, out of the car. She walked quickly towards the villa while apologizing repeatedly.

Everyone knows about Izumi Sagiri's "fear of going out," but... sometimes you might forget about it unintentionally.

"Umi! Toriyama! Are we really going to live in such a big house? It's so... amazing! Ah!" Honoka's eyes sparkled—compared to her own "Honoka Mochi Shop," the house in front of her was a "castle"! And the most luxurious kind at that!

In addition... on the way here, she kept asking Yamada Elf about her "new residence," and the information she received was—

"The air conditioning is on 24/7! What? Vending machines? Of course! They have all the common drinks, plus ice cream machines, hot and cold beverage machines, and more! All free!"

"If you want something to eat, just tell the security guard outside, and it will be delivered to you within twenty minutes. Even if you want a snack late at night, you can have it too—and you don't have to pay!"

"There are also tennis courts, outdoor swimming pools, an artificial water park, and more..."

How could she not be excited? You have to understand, she's just an ordinary second-year high school student!

"Honoka! Are you always thinking about 'free food and drinks'?" Sonoda Umi frowned slightly, looking at Honoka with a serious expression: "Don't even think about it, Kotori and I will keep a close eye on you!"

"H-How could that be! I wouldn't think about those things!" Honoka's breath caught in her throat from Sonoda Umi's words. She forced a smile and quickened her pace... Suddenly, a pair of hands reached out from behind and enveloped her chest.

Honoka's movements and expression froze abruptly, followed by Nozomi Tojo's voice: "Honoka, you can't act like that. It'll disappoint the fans if idols make such a fuss... And, if your weight goes back to what it was before, how do you think the teacher will punish you? Thinking about it now, I'm actually a little looking forward to it..."

"Ha, haha..." Honoka chuckled dryly as she turned around, her raised arms hanging limply at her sides. She listlessly replied, "I...I understand..."

“хорошо! (Wow, that’s amazing!)” Even Eli Ayase exclaimed in her native dialect upon seeing the layered villa complex.

Only Nishikino Maki glanced at it briefly before looking away, leaning against the car door and idly playing with the ends of her red hair—her family was also quite wealthy, so she wasn't surprised by what she saw.

"Aya, Aya, come here quickly." Le Zhengling, who was sitting in the last seat, got off the bus, and Nan Xiaoniao waved to her—although the two had only lived together for two short days, they had already become very good friends.

Because...they have one thing in common: they love fluffy, cute little things—they often go shopping together on evenings after training, and then spend a long time playing in front of claw machines...

"Ta-da! Welcome everyone to the new home of our [Huaxia] Studio!" Yamada Fairy stood on the cobblestone path, waving her hand over the villa complex behind her, a smug smile on her face: "How about it? Are you satisfied with this place? This was personally sponsored by me for the studio!"

Her face clearly conveyed the message, "Please praise me!" Baili Xiao smiled slightly, walked to her side, patted her on the shoulder, and turned to the crowd to say.

"Let's go! To our new home!"

Chapter 0133 [5 Centimeters Per Second] Premiere, Anyone Not Going to See It? (4/5, Please Subscribe)

A day later, everything in the studio (that was usable) had been moved into the new location.

In the conference room of the main building—a three-story villa in the very center, occupying a large area and with the most complete facilities—Bai Lixiao lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds, his gaze sweeping over everyone.

The conference room was enormous, and even with everyone in the studio seated, it still felt somewhat deserted, a stark contrast to the previous discussions at the Kasumigaoka residence, where some people had to stand to listen.

"Today is August 4th, and there are still almost ten days until the anime convention officially starts." Baili Xiao tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his gaze falling on Yamada Fairy: "Fairy, how's the progress of [The Monkey King] going?"

"The first volume will be finished tomorrow!" Yamada Elf rarely showed a serious expression—for her, [The Monkey King] was not only her first work after joining the studio, but also something for her to test her learning progress!

If she receives praise and support from a wide readership, it will prove that her efforts during this period have yielded results; conversely, it will prove that her efforts are far from sufficient.

"Yes, I've already checked what you wrote earlier, and it's very well written." Baili Xiao nodded with a smile: "Your writing style is becoming more and more refined than before, and your writing is getting better and better. I believe that [The Monkey King] will shine brightly at this comic convention."

"After finishing the manuscript tomorrow, I will send it to Ms. Akasaka's email address. I have already sent the illustrations for the novel in advance. Although there are only a dozen or so, I think that should be enough."

Although Baili Xiao, who possesses the ability of a "god-level painter," can use a brush to create traditional Chinese painting illustrations that can be described as "masterpieces," each painting requires him to expend a great deal of energy.

Completing two paintings a day was already his limit; if he forced himself to paint, he'd have a splitting headache the next day—don't ask Baili Xiao how he knew, because he'd already tried it...

For the novel "The Monkey King", Baili Xiao created fifteen illustrations (original drawings were created, scanned into the computer, and then resized and processed in post-production; it doesn't mean that every single one had to be hand-drawn). These illustrations depict several important moments in the novel, such as becoming an apprentice, obtaining the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff), fighting against the heavenly soldiers and generals, and battling Erlang Shen.

"Okay, I understand!" Yamada Fairy nodded emphatically, her eyes sparkling—Bai Lixiao had just praised her! She heard it clearly! "It's very well written," right?

This made her very happy, because "Bai Lixiao's praise" held a very high place in her heart.

(That's great! I want to hear more praise from the teacher!) Secretly delighted, Yamada Elf clenched her little hands under the table, constantly encouraging herself.

Bai Li Xiao didn't notice Yamada Elf's sudden surge of enthusiasm—his eyes had already turned to Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Utaha, is the first volume of 'Your Name' nearing completion? Approximately when will it be finished?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned slightly, then relaxed: "Although it's not as fast as Fairy Tale's 'The Monkey King,' at the current pace, the novel should be finished in two or three days. I wonder about Sawamura-kun's illustrations..."

"We'll finish when you're done!" Before Kasumigaoka Utaha could finish speaking, Eriri interrupted her with a light snort: "If it weren't for the fact that you're writing your novel so slowly, we would have finished drawing it a long time ago!"

The progress of the illustrations will depend on the novel, so Kasumigaoka Utaha will definitely write the novel first, and Eriri and others will then draw illustrations based on the content of the novel.

However, Eriri's later words were a bit excessive—of course, her situation with Kasumigaoka Utaha was special, and in their banter, this was just considered "normal provocation."

Normally, Kasumigaoka Utaha would have retaliated, but today she was different. She merely gave a lazy smile, completely ignoring Eriri.

Her eyes were filled with tenderness as she looked at Baili Xiao, waiting for an answer to his next question—Eri Li, overwhelmed by the mature aura emanating from her, finally understood why she hadn't retorted...

As a mature and understanding woman radiating intellectual beauty, she should know when to give the people she likes sufficient respect. Arguing with others as usual during the "studio meeting" hosted by Baili Xiao is, no matter how you look at it, an immature act!

And this "immature" behavior is exactly what Eriri did!

0 ····Requesting flowers···· ·········

(Ugh... Kasumigaoka Utaha! I've lost to you again!) Eriri thought with considerable annoyance, biting her lip lightly and turning her cheek away.

"Hmm, if we finish it in two or three days, the timeframe is a bit tight, but it's only for the number of events at the anime convention, so we shouldn't be too overwhelmed." Baili Xiao pondered for a moment, the images of Akane Akasaka and Sonoko Machida appearing in his mind, and he couldn't help but nod: "So far, Ms. Akasaka and Ms. Sonoko have never disappointed me, and I imagine they will do the same this time!"

Getting two novels approved, produced, printed, and bound at once is no easy task. However, "comic convention release" is different from "official release" in that the number of copies required is not as large, which makes things a bit easier.

 …

Shaking his head to clear his mind of worry, Baili Xiao continued, "Honoka, are you guys ready? You know this anime convention is very important to you. I will officially announce at the convention that Muse has joined [China] Studio, which means that you will officially debut as idol singers!"

The members of Muse exchanged glances, confident smiles appearing on their faces: "Don't worry, teacher! This anime convention will definitely make everyone remember the name 'Muse' forever!"

"Good! Keep up this confidence, you're no longer those forgotten muses!" Baili Xiao grinned, his gaze falling on the last person: "Aya, your foundation is very strong, and so is your talent. You've improved very quickly these past two days. I think it won't be difficult for you to sing [Ninety-Nine Eighty-One] in your best condition before the comic convention. Don't put pressure on yourself, okay?"

"Mm." Yue Zhengling nodded gently, looking at the studio staff who were all smiling kindly at her. A thought involuntarily popped into her mind—(If... I could join the studio, how wonderful that would be!)

"Snap!" Baili Xiao clasped his hands together, making a crisp sound, and slowly stood up. "Well then, official business is finished. Let's discuss personal matters..."

"Tomorrow, August 5th, is the premiere of the animated film '5 Centimeters Per Second.' Ms. Kousaka and Ms. Sonoko have specially invited us to watch the premiere. Is there anyone who doesn't want to go?" Fan asked.

Chapter 0134 Even if you don't read it, you should still contribute to the box office! (5/5 Please subscribe)

"Honey, today is our one-year anniversary. Have you prepared any surprises for me?"

A cute girl with a ponytail puts a straw into her mouth while looking at her boyfriend beside her.

Her boyfriend isn't particularly handsome, but they developed a relationship from acquaintances to lovers because of a shared hobby—their love for anime and manga brought them together.

"Hmm..." The boy made a muffled sound from his nose, which reached the girl's ears very clearly. The girl immediately raised her eyebrows: "What? Have you forgotten?"

"Of course I didn't forget! How could I forget the first anniversary!" The boy chuckled and scratched the back of his head, holding up his phone: "I was just looking at the messages in the group chat. Tonight is the premiere of '5 Centimeters Per Second,' and everyone is talking about it."

"Oh? Let me see." The girl craned her neck and stood on tiptoe—there was a significant height difference between her and the boy, and while he held his phone comfortably, it wasn't comfortable for her: "Put it down a bit!"

"Okay..." The boy gave a wry smile, having no choice but to lower his phone.

[Today is the premiere of 5 Centimeters Per Second, should I go see it or not?]

[Tsk! Of course I'll go! If I don't even go to the premiere, what kind of liking is 5 Centimeters Per Second?]

I want to go too, but... I'm a little scared. I cry every time I read the novel, and I doubt I can force myself to finish it.

It's okay, just go. Everyone in the theater will be crying, so your tears won't be as noticeable.
