Crossover Anime: I'm Kasumigaoka Utaha's Brother

Eriri was stunned. What happened to the "general plot" you were promised? You only showed me the beginning, piqued my curiosity, and then... that was it?!

"Damn it... you bastard! Don't let me run into you, or else I... Oh right! Kasumigaoka Utaha definitely knows who that person is!"

Chapter 0012 Eriri Gets Bullied Again! (Two Chapters, Please Add to Favorites and Share!)

In the empty multimedia classroom, only Kasumigaoka Utaha sat in the center of the classroom, with a text version of the first third of the plot of the first volume of 【5 Centimeters Per Second】 on the table.

Holding a pineapple bun in her hand, with her lips no more than two centimeters away from the food, Kasumigaoka Utaha maintained this distance for a full five minutes.

It wasn't that she wasn't hungry; in fact, having not eaten since morning, she was already incredibly hungry.

But... the manuscript in front of her was so attractive that she didn't want to make any other movement, not even the smallest one, except for moving her eyes.

Every movement, expression, word, and scene, read aloud word by word, and even without consciously thinking about it, the scene will naturally come to mind.

"Is this... really something I wrote?" Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at the manuscript with some surprise. Every word on it was typed by her, but reading it now felt like appreciating a classic work by a senior!

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who independently wrote five volumes of "Love Metronome," clearly knows where her current limits are. Without Hyakuri Akira's careful supervision and guidance, she would never have been able to write such a brilliant "5 Centimeters Per Second" on her own.

"It seems I still have a lot to learn from my brother." Kasumigaoka Utaha's lips curled slightly as she bit into a pineapple bun, ready to enjoy her belated lunch, when the door opened with a "whoosh," and a slender figure appeared in her field of vision.

“Sawamura-kun, could you please knock politely before coming in? Don’t you think it’s very rude to disturb someone’s lunchtime?” Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned slightly and put the pineapple bun aside.

"You...!" Eriri's breath hitched, then she forced a "humph": "Kasumigaoka Utaha, I didn't come here today to argue with you. Are you involved in Shinazugawa Bunko's latest project?"

Her slightly furrowed brows deepened as Kasumigaoka Utaha looked Eriri up and down, then lifted her right leg and placed it on her left, perfectly showcasing the allure of her black stockings: "So what if it is?"

"The editor-in-chief of Shinazugawa Bunko just called and said he hopes I can do illustrations for your '5 Centimeters Per Second'." Eriri leaned against the door, her eyes darting around, avoiding Kasumigaoka Utaha's gaze, her fingers unconsciously fiddling with her golden ponytail. "He was very sincere. Even though I kept rejecting him, he still told me to think about it..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha tilted her head slightly, her long black hair swaying with her movement.

As the author of "5 Centimeters Per Second," the selection of illustrators definitely requires my approval. The editor-in-chief of Shinazugawa Bunko couldn't possibly be unaware of this, which means... my brother agreed.

Thinking of this, Kasumigaoka Utaha noticed Eriri's little gesture and instantly understood that the latter's words might have contained some exaggeration.

"So, what's your decision?" Kasumigaoka Utaha chose to "see through it but not say it" in response to Eriri's slight exaggeration, but a half-smile appeared on her lips.

"Well, while I might not be considered a top-tier illustrator, I'm fairly well-known in our circle. I can't just agree to his request, can I?" Eriri raised her chin slightly, glancing at Kasumigaoka Utaha out of the corner of her eye. After a moment's hesitation, she finally voiced the question that had been nagging at her for a long time.

"Kasumi, Kasumigaoka Utaha, that... the last thing I heard on the phone was a guy around our age. He said he'd send me a rough plot of '5 Centimeters Per Second' to my email so I could take a look, but... why did he only send me the beginning? And he said some really offensive things too. Do you know who he is?"

Eriri was furious at the thought of the person on the phone calling her a "loser." She strode over to Kasumigaoka Utaha and stared directly at her.

"Something really outrageous?" Kasumigaoka Utaha chuckled. She naturally knew that the person who called was Hyakuri Akira, but what interested her more now was what exactly Hyakuri Akira had said to Eriri: "What was it? Tell me."

"Um...it's just, it's just..." Eriri's cheeks flushed red, and she lowered her head, not wanting Kasumigaoka Utaha to see her like this.

"What is it?" Kasumigaoka Utaha leaned forward, approaching Eriri step by step, giving the latter no room to dodge.

"Pfft! Whoosh whoosh~" A soft sound came from the quiet classroom, and it could be vaguely heard as if water was boiling.

Eriri's little head drooped lower and lower, and even her originally very energetic golden twin tails drooped weakly on both sides.

Finally, pushed to her limit by Kasumigaoka Utaha, she simply closed her eyes and clenched her fists: "He, he actually called me a loser! How do I look like a loser?!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Her gaze swept over the enraged Eriri, and a thought involuntarily popped into her mind.

"Yeah, she looks like a loser in every way..."

Chapter 0013 A Sudden Battleground! (Third Update, Please Add to Favorites and Share)

As the sun set in the west, the sound of a door opening came from the entrance hall.

"I am back."

Upon hearing Kasumigaoka Utaha's voice, Hyakuri Xiao, who was sitting in the living room pondering the plot, looked up with a smile on her face, about to say "Welcome back," when a slender figure with golden twin tails appeared in her field of vision.

Without any hesitation, the thought that naturally popped into Baili Xiao's mind was: "Hmm, this loser is so Eriri..."

"Welcome...back." Baili Xiao's smile was a little stiff. He could feel that when Eriri looked at him, there was obvious anger in her eyes.

“Excuse me!” Eriri said each word heavily, her gaze fixed on Baili Xiao without ever moving.

With a faint smile on her face, Kasumigaoka Utaha placed her handbag aside, crossed her legs in black stockings, and walked to Hyakuri Xiao's side. She gently patted the latter's shoulder, leaned down, and brought her lips to the latter's ear: "I need an explanation later. Why did you specifically choose Eriri to be the illustrator for '5 Centimeters Per Second', and... why are you so familiar with her?"

This chaotic scene came way too fast! Baili Xiao chuckled dryly, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

"You can talk about any misunderstandings you have first. I'm going to take a shower," Kasumigaoka Utaha said as she walked upstairs.

Whether it was his imagination or not, Baili Xiao seemed to see Kasumigaoka Utaha's figure glancing at him with an ambiguous look just before she disappeared.

As Kasumigaoka Utaha went upstairs, only Hyakuri Akira and Eriri remained in the living room, staring at each other. After a brief silence, Eriri spoke first.

"You're Kasumigaoka Utaha's brother?"

"Mm." Baili Xiao nodded.

"Was it you who called me a loser at noon today?" Eriri's voice rose slightly.

"Uh... um." Baili Xiao scratched his head, an awkward smile on his face.

"Why!" Eriri revealed her cute little fangs, her angry expression resembling a defeated... no, a cat!

Why? How am I supposed to answer that? Should I tell her that in my past life I watched an anime called "Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend," and that there happened to be a blonde twin-tailed girl named Eriri who was also a complete loser?!

If he were to actually say it out loud, Baili Xiao was certain that he and Eriri would have a physical encounter right there and then!

Of course...it won't be that kind of thing.

"Haha, well, sit down first. Sit down and I'll tell you what story '5 Centimeters Per Second' tells. In your writing, I need you to portray the male and female protagonists as..." Baili Xiao poured a glass of juice and placed it in front of Eriri, then began to speak on his own.

"Hey! Don't change the subject! I never agreed to be an illustrator, you..." Eriri paused, watching as Baili Xiao began to seriously describe the plot of [5 Centimeters Per Second], only then realizing that the latter was avoiding the main point: "You won't let me... Wait! The plot you're describing is different from what I saw today? I remember..."

Before Eriri could finish her righteous protest, she was drawn to the plot that Bai Lixiao was talking about, and temporarily put the matter of being a "loser" out of her mind.

She admitted that "5 Centimeters Per Second" had deeply captivated her; even just watching the beginning of the story made her eager to know what would happen next.

Thank goodness, we've finally gotten through this...

Baili Xiao sighed inwardly, gathered his thoughts, and recounted the general plot in great detail. He talked until it got dark!

"Tattoo."

Accompanied by the soft sound of footsteps, Kasumigaoka Utaha, dressed in a yukata, came downstairs.

Her face had the rosy glow characteristic of a long bath, and her fair calves would occasionally peek out from under her bathrobe, without an ounce of excess fat, exuding a taut beauty and drawing a beautiful arc.

Her half-dry black hair cascaded over her shoulders, making her two delicate collarbones even more striking.

Seeing the two people sitting together in the living room, talking seriously to each other, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a strange unease: "Oh? It seems you two have been having a good chat lately?"

The sudden noise startled Baili Xiao and Eriri awake. Only then did they realize that they had unknowingly ended up sitting side by side!

"Ahem! We were just discussing the plot." Baili Xiao turned to the side, subtly creating some distance between them.

"Yes! Yes! We were just discussing the plot..." Eriri moved slightly in the opposite direction from Baili Xiao, turning her head away with her cheeks flushed.

“Of course I know what you’re doing, but…” Kasumigaoka Utaha poured herself a drink, downed it in one gulp, and ran her tongue lightly along the rim of the glass before looking at Eriri: “Sawamura-san, are you planning to stay at my house tonight?”

"Huh?" Eriri was taken aback, glancing at her phone and realizing it was already past six o'clock, just minutes before seven: "Is it already this late? Oh no..."

She hurriedly ran to the entrance to change her shoes, then pushed open the door and walked out. Just before she disappeared, she suddenly stopped and turned back to look at Baili Xiao with a slightly awkward expression.

"I've agreed to be the illustrator for '5 Centimeters Per Second,' not because the story is good, it's just... it's just that I happen to have some free time lately, that's all! Please don't overthink it!"

"Click!" The door slammed shut.

"That's really... a textbook example of tsundere behavior." Baili Xiao shook his head and smiled wryly. Before he could finish speaking, a scent of shower gel, along with a faint warmth, appeared beside him, making him freeze in place.

"So, now it's just you and me. Can you explain why you know Sawamura-kun so well? My dear...brother?"

P.S.: I'm going on blind dates today and tomorrow, so I can only update three times a day. I'll catch up after the blind dates.

Please forgive someone in their twenties who doesn't have a girlfriend yet. To avoid becoming the ultimate fire mage in the FFF (Fearless) guild, I'm trying my best to carry the group QAQ!

Chapter 0014 Eriri, come here, call me brother! (First update, please add to your favorites and give flowers)

Seeing the blush on Kasumigaoka Utaha's face and smelling the fragrance of her body mixed with shower gel, Baili Xiao swallowed hard, and his erection became quite normal.

No normal man would remain unmoved in this situation. Bai Lixiao admitted that Kasumigaoka Utaha wearing black stockings was indeed alluring, but could that negate the allure of Kasumigaoka Utaha without stockings, exposing her fair legs?

No, Baili Xiao felt he couldn't do it. In fact, the moment those two long, beautiful legs crossed in front of him, his mind went completely blank.

“Explain your relationship with Eriri.” Kasumigaoka Utaha lowered her head slightly, looking up at Hyakuri Akira with a strange smile in her eyes: “Don’t think I’m a child like Eriri. I won’t let you distract me… Hmm!”

Before she could finish speaking, her glistening lips were forcefully sealed with a kiss. Kasumigaoka Utaha stared wide-eyed at Hyakuri Akira, who was standing right in front of her, her eyes gradually softening from initial panic.

Originally intending to push Baili Xiao's hands away, they weakly pressed against the latter's chest, feeling no "resistance" whatsoever.

Time passed slowly, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. When the two separated, Kasumigaoka Utaha had exhausted all her strength by just taking a deep breath. How could she possibly blame Hyakuri Xiao?

At this moment, Baili Xiao kept thinking about one sentence.

There's no problem that a kiss can't solve; if there is, then two kisses will do!

That statement is indeed true!

"Hey, are you hungry? If not, let's discuss the plot again?" Seeing Kasumigaoka Utaha slumped weakly on the sofa, Baili Xiao seemed a little at a loss.

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Hyakuri Xiao with a hint of resentment in her eyes, adjusted her body position, and fell into the latter's arms.

A pair of lotus-root-like jade arms draped over Baili Xiao's neck, and a faint voice drifted over: "Let's discuss it next time..."

...

The next morning.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong? Ding-dong! Ding-dong!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha, still asleep, frowned more and more, while the doorbell from the entrance rang more and more urgently.

Finally, seemingly convinced that no one was in the house, the ringing of the doorbell stopped.

However, just as Kasumigaoka Utaha took a deep breath and prepared to change to a more comfortable position to continue sleeping, Eriri's sharp voice rang out from outside: "Kasumigaoka Utaha? I know you're in there! Open the door now!"

"###!" Veins popped out on her forehead. Kasumigaoka Utaha pulled the blanket over her head. The figure beside her quietly got out of bed, walked downstairs with light steps, and opened the outer door.

"You?" Eriri took a step back, her gaze sweeping over Baili Xiao, who was yawning in his pajamas. "You two... were busy until late again yesterday?"

Bai Lixiao froze, then chuckled dryly, "Yeah, I was indeed busy until very late..."

The only difference is the things we're busy with...

"Forget it, I won't get involved in the novel. The purpose of my visit today is to finalize the character designs for the novel. Only after that's done can I start my illustration work." Eriri shook her head and walked into the house with her graphics tablet on her back, completely unconcerned.
