I'm in a crossover anime world, and I've been transported to Hogwarts twice.

"But Yukino doesn't know that, and look how cute our Yukino-chan is when she's jealous and gets all flustered for you, don't you think?"

She leaned close to Genichi Hanyu and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "I'm helping you, so you can better understand how much my little sister cares about you."

As Yuzuru listened to Yukino's vivid and gloating description, seeing the mischievous smile on Yukino's face that seemed to enjoy the drama, and then thinking of the snow woman in the living room who exuded an aura of absolute zero, he suddenly felt a headache coming on.

"Yang Nai, stop stirring up trouble and adding fuel to the fire. I really have no interest in those elaborately wrapped gifts."

"I knew."

Yukino Yukinoshita drawled out her words, her deep blue eyes, similar to Yukino Yukinoshita but more cunning, gleaming with an all-knowing light. Like an elegant feline, she leaned lazily against the kitchen counter, gently swirling the coffee cup in her hand.

“Our Xianyi has very high standards; those ordinary women wouldn’t even meet your approval.”

She changed the subject, her smile becoming even more meaningful: "But, our Yukino-chan doesn't know that, and Genichi, don't you think so?"

She leaned closer and lowered her voice, which carried a devilish allure: "Isn't it incredibly cute to see Yukino-chan, who is usually cold and aloof and doesn't care about anything, become so jealous because of you, her cheeks turn red with anger, her eyes shoot at you like knives, and she even resorts to force to defend her territory?"

She straightened up and patted Genichi Hanyu on the shoulder, giving him a look that said, "I'm doing this for your own good, Genichi. I'm helping you to understand more deeply and directly how much our awkward and proud little sister cares about you and how afraid she is of you being snatched away by those unwanted suitors. This kind of care is very rare!"

Her voice rose at the end, full of the pleasure of watching a play.

Looking at Yukino Yukinoshita's expression of being a seasoned viewer who seemed to thrive on chaos and was happy to see things unfold, and then thinking about the source of the coldness in the living room, Yuzuru sighed deeply and helplessly.

The atmosphere of a battleground was overwhelming!

He turned his head to look towards the living room, as if he could see through the wall and see Yukino's aloof and resentful back.

Calming down this angry and jealous snow woman is an extremely difficult task!

It seems that after handling the fusion of the Demon Slayer world, the most urgent task is not to collect the Deathly Hallows or to plan the fusion of the worlds, but to rack one's brains and use all one's skills to appease the Yuki-onna in the house.

Just thinking about this task made Genichi Hanyu's ribs ache again.

113 Yukino Yukinoshita: Are you even human?

Looking at Yukino Yukinoshita's cold profile, which seemed to keep strangers at bay, especially Yukino Yukinoshita, and Haruno Yukinoshita's mischievous smile that seemed to thrive on chaos, Genichi Hanyu felt utterly overwhelmed.

He rubbed his still throbbing ribs, glanced at Yang Naina's silent lip movements at the kitchen door, took a deep breath, and decided to take the initiative to resolve this backyard crisis that was even more troublesome than Voldemort's.

He brazenly moved closer to the single sofa where Yukino was sitting, carefully sitting down next to the edge of the armrest, trying his best not to enter the range of an elbow strike.

Yukino seemed not to see him, her gaze still stubbornly fixed on the window, though the chill emanating from her seemed to have dropped a few degrees.

"cough."

Genichi Hanyu cleared his throat, deciding to break the deadlock with a shocking statement.

He leaned forward slightly, close to Yukino's ear, and said in a low voice, as if discussing the weather, "Yukino, how about this?"

He paused, making sure Yukino's attention was drawn. Although she still didn't turn her head, Genichi Hanyu could feel the tense lines of her profile.

"Or should I just get rid of all those girls who were sent here?"

He deliberately emphasized the word "deal with," his eyes calm and expressionless, as if he were talking about cleaning up a pile of useless garbage.

"Shh!"

Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly turned her head!

Those eyes were no longer cold, icy pools, but instantly ignited with a raging fire, like ice flames being set ablaze!

She stared at Genichi Hanyu in disbelief, her delicate face flushed slightly with extreme anger.

"Hanyu Genichi!"

Her voice suddenly rose in pitch, sharp and penetrating, almost piercing the roof.

"Is this human language?"

She suddenly stood up, looking down at Genichi Hanyu sitting on the armrest of the sofa with an imposing aura.

“Those girls were given to you by their families as gifts or bargaining chips. They were victims with no choice in the matter, and they were already very pitiful and unlucky.”

"And what do you do? Without saying a word, you just want to kill them all? Are you even human? Did some monster from another world eat away at your moral compass?"

Yukino Yukinoshita's chest heaved violently, clearly enraged by Genichi Hanyu's simple, crude, and almost cruel suggestion.

She couldn't imagine that the man who made her feel safe when he hugged her could be so indifferent to life and so casually say things like "get rid of them all"!

Faced with Yukino Yukinoshita's volcanic outburst of anger, Genichi Hanyu didn't back down. Instead, he innocently spread his hands, his expression carrying a hint of helplessness, as if he were also a victim: "What else can I do? Yukino, can't you be reasonable? It's not like I asked those families to send them over as gifts."

"I'm a victim too! Shan Shi KO Qi Er Si Bao is a victim! I was inexplicably blamed for attracting women and then got elbowed by you. Who can I complain to?"

He pointed to his still throbbing ribs, trying to gain sympathy: "Look, my work injury hasn't healed yet. The existence of those girls is the source of trouble for me, the fuse that makes you angry. Solving the problem at its source is a one-time solution, how efficient is that? It saves you from getting annoyed, and it annoys me too."

"you!"

Yukino Yukinoshita was so angry at his victim theory and efficient solution theory that she trembled all over, pointing her finger at Genichi Hanyu, speechless for a long time.

She felt a surge of anger rush to her head, and she wished she could hit his other rib as well!

That bastard! He's the one who caused all this trouble, yet he's here pretending to be innocent and spouting nonsense!

In the end, all the anger turned into a cold, contemptuous snort.

Yukino glared fiercely at Genichi Hanyu, as if looking at him for even a second longer would taint her eyes.

She turned around abruptly, leaving Genichi Hanyu with a cold back that exuded an aura of absolute zero, filled with incomprehension and a sense of urgency to stay away from me.

This time, she absolutely did not want to say another word to this morally depraved guy.

Seeing Yukino Yukinoshita's uncommunicative and frozen-in-place posture, Genichi Hanyu knew that his previous tactic of intimidation had completely failed and even backfired.

He touched his nose, looking a little embarrassed.

It seems that Yukino's sense of justice and moral bottom line are even higher than he expected.

The plan to directly eliminate the rival physically is not feasible.

He sighed and decided to change his strategy—show weakness and take the blame.

He brazenly scooted a little closer again, and said in a slightly ingratiating and pleading tone, "Yukino? Calm down, I was wrong. I was just talking nonsense without thinking."

"I promise, I will not lay a finger on them! I swear!"

Yukino Yukinoshita's back remained completely still, not even a single hair swayed.

Genichi Hanyu continued, "You see, isn't the key to the problem that the existence of those girls makes you unhappy?"

"The root of the problem is that they were sent here, but I really didn't do it. I was just passively taking the blame! Now the trouble is piling up at the door, so I have to find a way to solve it, right? Getting angry won't help, will it?"

He paused, observing Yukino Yukinoshita's reaction, but she still showed no reaction.

Genichi Hanyu decided to unleash his trump card: throwing the problem back at him!

He forced a genuine yet somewhat helpless smile onto his face, and softened his voice even more: "So, how about you help me think of a solution, Yukino? You're incredibly clever and resourceful; you'd definitely have a better way of dealing with those stalker bees than a roughneck like me who only knows how to fight! Give me an idea, and I guarantee I'll execute it 100%! If you say east, I'll never go west; if you drive me away, I'll never stop you! What do you say?"

These words had an immediate effect!

Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly turned around!

That face, sculpted like ice and jade, was now filled with an unbelievable sense of absurdity and a mocking laugh of anger!

Her eyes were like the sharpest ice picks, piercing straight at Genichi Hanyu!

"Ha!"

A short, sarcastic laugh escaped Yukino's lips. "Genichi Hanyu, you've got some nerve!"

Her voice was like a knife chilled to ice, each sentence colder and sharper than the last: "You brought this trouble upon yourself by attracting unwanted attention!"

"In the end, you can't solve it, and you still have the nerve to ask me, the victim who's been driven half to death by you, to help you find a solution? To help you deal with those women who are after you? To help you solve the trouble you created?!"

You have such a big face!

Yukino spoke slowly and deliberately, each word like a hailstone pelting Genichi Hanyu's face.

"I've never seen such a shameless person! You want me to give you advice? Do you think I, Yukino Yukinoshita, am so magnanimous that I can advise you on how to deal with your love rival? Or do you think I'm out of my mind to clean up your mess?!"

Yukino (Li Le Zhao) was so angry that her chest heaved. She felt that if she looked at Genichi Hanyu again, her elegance and rationality would completely collapse.

She pointed at Genichi Hanyu's nose, her tone resolute: "Don't even think about it! Solve your own problems! If you can't, then you can go live with those gifts and don't bother me again!"

After saying that, she turned around resolutely again, this time even her back view exuding a chilling murderous aura that said if you said another word, we would die together.

Genichi Hanyu was rendered speechless by Yukino Yukinoshita's barrage of angry rebukes. He touched his nose and realized that his suggestion to shift the blame was, well, very rude.

Looking at Yukino's back, which exuded an aura that kept strangers and even acquaintances at a distance, especially telling Genichi Hanyu to stay far away, he knew that conventional methods were completely out of the question.

He leaned back on the sofa, rubbed his temples, glanced at Yukinoshita Haruno who was covering her mouth and laughing hysterically at the kitchen doorway, almost clapping and cheering, then looked at the iceberg in front of him that exuded absolute coldness, and fell into deep thought.

What should be done with those girls who were sent over as gifts?

114's feelings were discovered, and the conflict with Yukino.

The girls who approached him with their own family missions.

Their presence was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples that were difficult to quell between him and Yukino Yukinoshita.

He wasn't oblivious to romance, nor was he heartless; it was just that this forced romantic encounter, tinged with blatant calculation and the cold intent of a family-arranged marriage, made him feel suffocated with irritation.

This further tarnished the pure and precious relationship he cherished with Yukino.

"This is... incredibly troublesome."

Yuzuru sighed silently in his heart, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force he exerted.

Let it go?

That would be tantamount to tacit approval, and in the future, there would only be more carefully packaged gifts delivered to him.

Although Yukino Yukinoshita appears aloof, he sees her concerns and the occasional awkwardness she displays, and it pains him deeply.

He didn't want her to bear this unnecessary pressure, and he didn't want to see a rift appear between them due to external interference.

It's true that Genichi Hanyu is a womanizer, but that doesn't mean he wants his life interfered with.

Anxiety and restlessness are like vines, growing ever tighter and tighter.

Yuzuru subconsciously raised his hand and scratched his smooth black hair vigorously, as if trying to scatter all his annoying thoughts.

Just when he was almost cornered by an unsolvable predicament, a cold, powerful light, like lightning piercing through thick dark clouds, suddenly cleaved through his chaotic thoughts!

"If you can't solve the problem, then solve the people who created it!"

The idea was so clear, so sharp, with a ruthless, eradicative efficiency.

For Yukino's sake, he couldn't take drastic measures against the girls who were just pawns; they probably had their own reasons for being caught in the middle.

So why not point the finger directly at the player who manipulates the game?

Genichi Hanyu's eyes instantly turned deep and unfathomable, like the bottomless abyss before a storm.

A ruthless yet clear plan quickly took shape in his mind. As long as those seemingly indestructible family forces collapsed and lost their support and backing, these girls, who had been carefully raised as bargaining chips for family marriages, would immediately become rootless duckweed, drifting with the tide. At that time, whether it was gently persuading them to leave or providing them with new ways to get rid of them, it would all become natural and the resistance would be greatly reduced.

More importantly, this is a deterrent!

A solemn statement issued to the world with thunderous force.

He wants all those hiding behind the scenes, those who are eager to curry favor with or control him through similar means, to see clearly and plainly what is happening.

The price of using girls as tools to place them next to Genichi Hanyu in an attempt to influence or even control his life trajectory will be the destruction of the entire family they rely on!

He wanted to use the most drastic means to completely sever the source of this unhealthy trend, and use the lessons of blood and fire to make those who follow in his footsteps hesitate and completely abandon any thought of imitation.

This is not only about solving the immediate problem, but also about setting a rule for those with ulterior motives.

A chilling, almost tangible killing intent, like the coldest wind from the far north, burst forth without warning from the depths of Genichi Hanyu's eyes.

That wasn't directed at any specific person, but rather a resolute declaration of war against the massive interest groups that he was about to crush.

The killing intent was so pure and so cold that the surrounding air seemed to drop several degrees instantly, and the sunlight seemed to lose its warmth.

However, this fleeting but deadly aura could not escape the eyes of someone who had been watching him from the shadows with complex emotions.

On the sofa not far in front of Yuzuru, Yukino Yukinoshita was slightly turned to the side, pretending to read a book.

Her signature thin-rimmed glasses perched on her delicate nose, and behind the lenses, her icy blue eyes seemed focused on the pages of her book, but in reality, her peripheral vision had already locked onto Genichi Hanyu.

From Yuzuru's unconscious tapping of his thigh to his irritable scratching of his head, and then to the sudden, momentary stiffness of his body and the subtle change in his breath, she keenly captured every minute fluctuation.

The moment that intense, almost suffocating killing intent flashed across Yuzuru's eyes, Yukino Yukinoshita's heart felt as if it were being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand!

She abruptly raised her head, her eyebrows instantly arching like sharp swords, her delicate face filled with disbelief, anger, and icy questioning.

Those icy blue eyes, sharp as a quenched blade, pierced through the air and fixed precisely on Genichi Hanyu's face!

She didn't even speak, but the intense emotions in her eyes—anger, disappointment, and warning—had already created an invisible mental impact.
