Crossover Anime: Saiyans Starting from Dreams

"But it seems that you and Yukinoshita are getting along quite well now... and there haven't been any problems as I had imagined."

After glancing at Qin Chuan, Hiratsuka Shizuka revealed a satisfied expression.

“If Shizuka Hiratsuka were to interact with someone with a similar personality, there might be arguments or something, but you… might actually complement Yukinoshita’s personality quite well.”

Chapter Forty-Nine: The Matching Umbrella

After confirming the relationship between Qin Chuan and Yukino Yukinoshita, Hiratsuka Shizuka let Qin Chuan go.

There was no scene like in the original work where Hiratsuka Shizuka insisted on having Hachiman Hikigaya join the Service Club.

After all, Qin Chuan's performance was fine and he wasn't a problem child, so there was no need for him to be sent to the Service Club to be corrected, like with Hachiman Hikigaya.

However, Hiratsuka Shizuka is now looking forward to seeing if Yukino Yukinoshita's personality will change because of Qin Chuan.

……

After leaving the office, Qin Chuan returned to the classroom, ready to grab his bag and go back to play games.

The classroom was almost empty. During the time Qin Chuan and Heizuka Shizuka were talking, even the students on duty for the day had finished their tasks and left.

This surprised Qin Chuan. Recently, the students on duty had become increasingly perfunctory in their work, not even cleaning the blackboard properly. No wonder they were able to run away so quickly.

However, when Qin Chuan arrived at his seat, he realized that there was actually another person in the classroom.

"are you back?"

Kato Megumi remained seated, a smile on her face as she watched Qin Chuan return to the classroom.

To be honest, if the classroom hadn't been such an eyesore, Qin Chuan would have thought that Kato Megumi looked a bit like a girlfriend waiting for her boyfriend to come home.

However, Qin Chuan carefully examined Kato Megumi's expression but couldn't discern her true thoughts at all.

"Yes, it's just that I had a little talk with Professor Hiratsuka... Why haven't you gone home yet?"

Qin Chuan nodded, picked up his schoolbag from his seat, and looked at Kato Megumi with some curiosity.

Kato Megumi did not participate in club activities, and she hardly interacted with the other students in her class. Logically speaking, she should have gone straight home after school.

Could it be that they really are waiting for me?

"Didn't you notice, A-Chuan? It's already raining outside."

Seeing that Qin Chuan seemed genuinely unaware of anything, Kato Megumi gently raised her right hand—in which she held a folding umbrella.

"Did A-Chuan bring an umbrella?"

Qin Chuan paused for a moment, then looked out the window—his seat was right by the window, so he could see what was happening outside at a glance.

I didn't notice it when school let out, but it's actually drizzling outside the window now.

Through the windows, you can see some students walking out of the school gate with umbrellas, and some students who didn't bring umbrellas running out with their backpacks on their heads.

In fact, even if Qin Chuan didn't bring an umbrella, as long as he let the black bird cover him and used the sub-vacuum miasma to wipe away all the rain falling on him, he wouldn't get wet.

Moreover, Qin Chuan actually had an umbrella in his schoolbag.

"...It seems I really didn't bring it."

However, Kato Eto had specially waited for him in the classroom for this matter, and Qin Chuan felt that it would be a bit of a mood killer to say "I brought an umbrella" at this moment.

"Well, there's really nothing we can do about that."

Kato Megumi seemed to have anticipated Qin Chuan's response, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

"I happen to have brought an umbrella, let's use this umbrella together for now."

Even with his strong ability to perceive "qi", Qin Chuan still couldn't figure out what Kato Megumi was thinking, and always felt that everything was within her expectations.

However, judging from the Dragon Ball world, the Turtle School should indeed have techniques that use "ki" to read minds, and both Master Roshi and Goku have used similar abilities.

However, firstly, Qin Chuan doesn't know the Turtle Hermit style of martial arts, and secondly, it's unlikely that he would use this move on Kato Megumi.

As Qin Chuan walked to the school gate with Kato Megumi, he wondered if it was because of Kato Megumi's low profile that even affected him, as no one greeted him along the way.

Although Qin Chuan wasn't exactly a celebrity at school, he was able to talk to quite a few classmates, and it was common for him to greet acquaintances on the street.

Today, as he walked from the classroom door to the school gate, he encountered several classmates he knew, but they didn't even glance at Qin Chuan and just walked right past him.

However, Qin Chuan didn't seem to care much.

"Where does A-Chuan live?"

Standing under the eaves of the school gate, Kato Megumi opened the folding umbrella in her hand—the umbrella didn't look very big, but it was still big enough for a man and a woman to squeeze in.

In Japan, this act of a man and a woman sharing an umbrella is called "mutual umbrella," which usually symbolizes love. Occasionally, you can also see people drawing mutual umbrellas and classmates' names on the blackboard in classrooms.

"Here."

Qin Chuan pointed to the left side of the school gate and glanced at Kato Megumi—generally speaking, Kato Megumi should know what sharing an umbrella with a boy implies.

However, Kato Megumi's expression was very calm at this moment, as if sharing an umbrella with Qin Chuan was nothing to be ashamed of.

"Oh no, that's terrible, my home is over here."

After seeing the direction Qin Chuan pointed, Kato Megumi let out a soft "Ah," and then pointed to the right side of the school gate.

The two looked at each other in surprise, never expecting that their homes would end up facing opposite directions.

However, after a brief silence, Kato Megumi quickly offered a new solution—although this solution might be a bit extreme for the average girl:

"Then let's take A-Chuan home, and then I'll go back by myself."

"Ah? This isn't good, is it?"

Qin Chuan subconsciously felt that it was inappropriate—who would let a girl take them home first?

If they really had to send someone off, Qin Chuan should first take Kato Megumi home, then borrow Kato Megumi's umbrella to go back, and return the umbrella tomorrow.

...Oh no, tomorrow is Saturday, so I'll have to wait until next Monday to send it back.

"This is my umbrella, so listen to me."

Kato Megumi stared at Qin Chuan, her tone unusually authoritative, which prevented Qin Chuan from saying what he had intended to say.

What else could Qin Chuan do but agree to Kato Megumi's suggestion?

Fortunately, Qin Chuan's home was not far from the school, so while chatting with Kato Megumi, it took about ten minutes to arrive at Qin Chuan's apartment building.

"This is my home."

Upon arriving at the apartment building, Qin Chuan nodded to Kato Megumi.

This was the first time Qin Chuan had walked to his own doorstep with his classmates, and Kato Megumi was the first girl to know where he lived.

Out of politeness, Qin Chuan subconsciously asked:

"Would you like to come to my house and sit down?"

This was just a common greeting, and Qin Chuan only said it casually—normally, a girl would refuse such an invitation from a boy of the same age.

But to my surprise, after hearing this, Kato Megumi nodded very seriously:

"Then excuse me."

Chapter Fifty: Preparing for the Harvest

"I'm sorry, we don't usually have guests at home, so we don't have any drinks or tea, only drinking water."

Qin Chuan placed a glass of water on Kato Megumi's table and said helplessly.

He hadn't expected that Kato Megumi would follow him upstairs so unsuspectingly after he had just casually invited her.

"Does no one else usually come here?"

Qin Chuan wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Kato Megumi's expression brightened up when she heard that no one else was coming to her house.

"It's okay, water is fine. I don't really like drinking beverages anyway."

Qin Chuan didn't know whether this statement reflected Kato Megumi's true situation or was simply a comforting remark made to avoid putting Qin Chuan in a difficult position.

"There's nothing fun in my house, and I don't have parents or siblings."

Qin Chuan sat on the other side of the table, watching Kato Megumi sip her water.

"But Hui, you need to be a little more aware of the risks. If a guy your age is inviting you like this, you should be careful and not go along with him so easily."

"It's okay, I'll only agree if A-Chuan invites me."

Kato Megumi gently shook her head, looked calmly at Qin Chuan, and said a line that was easy to misunderstand.

If Qin Chuan weren't mentally older than he actually was, he probably would have already blushed at Kato Megumi's words.

After all, young people don't listen to this kind of talk.

"Ahem... What you said could easily be misunderstood."

Qin Chuan coughed lightly twice to ease his slight embarrassment.

"But by taking such a long detour and visiting someone else's house, won't it take up a lot of time? Won't your family worry?"

"No, my family trusts me a lot. Mainly because no one usually pays attention to me, so they're not afraid I'll be in danger."

Kato Megumi then took out her phone and waved it at Qin Chuan—Qin Chuan could see that her phone screen was stuck on the chat window.

"Besides, I've already talked to my parents, so it's okay."

When Qin Chuan entered the house, he saw Kato Megumi use her phone. It seems she was explaining the situation to her parents.

I don't know if Kato Megumi mentioned that she went to a boy's house. If her parents are still at ease with that, then they are really too trusting of Kato Megumi.

Considering that in the original work, Kato Megumi lived in someone else's house, it seems that her parents never interfered... It can only be said that the Kato family members are all too easygoing.

"Has A-Chuan always lived alone?"

After putting down her water glass, Kato Megumi looked at Qin Chuan with some curiosity.

Although they had been chatting intensively with Qin Chuan for the past few days and had gotten to know each other a bit, their family situations were still too complex to discuss in detail, so they didn't talk much about that aspect.

Although she knew that Qin Chuan lived alone, Kato Megumi was indeed unaware of his family's situation.

"I have no parents and have lived alone since I was a child."

Qin Chuan answered the question calmly, without feeling sad or anything—he came into this world alone, and his money and house were already there.

"I see, I'm sorry."

Kato Megumi apologized immediately, just like most Japanese people would do upon hearing that the other person is an orphan.

"It's nothing to be sad about. I'm quite comfortable living alone."

Qin Chuan shook his head.

“When Hui grows up, she will eventually live separately from her parents. I’m just bringing it forward a little.”

"A decade or more in advance is going too far."

Seeing that Qin Chuan didn't seem to care much, Kato Megumi breathed a sigh of relief and then started joking with Qin Chuan.

"However, I do sometimes have that thought, wanting to have a space where I can be alone."

Although children have their own rooms at home, they are still subject to their parents' control. Every child should have thought about wanting more freedom at some point.

Even Megumi Kato sometimes has such thoughts.

"So, does A-Chuan have any spare rooms at home?"

For reasons unknown, Kato Megumi suddenly and abruptly asked this question.

"After all, A-Chuan said that no one else usually comes to his house, right? Such a big house, would there be any places that have never been used?"

"Yes... that's true. This apartment was originally designed for multiple people to live in, so it has a guest room and a second bedroom."

Qin Chuan also took a sip of water and nodded in reply.

"However, those two rooms haven't been used for a long time. Although there are beds in them, they must be covered in dust."

"I see……"

Kato Megumi nodded, as if she had thought of something, a faint smile on her face.

……

Half an hour later, Qin Chuan watched Kato Megumi leave his home.
