There are so many geniuses in crossover anime! What's wrong with adding me?

He had no reason to refuse something that only involved small or large wins.

"Hey! What does this have to do with me? Who gave you permission to add me in without my permission!"

As the two were finalizing the details, Hiratsuka Shizuka, seeing herself being dragged into this for no reason, was filled with rage and slammed her hand on the table, shouting loudly.

"What does it matter! Don't you think it's interesting and exciting?" Yukinoshita Haruno stuck out her cute tongue and started to act cute.

"What's so interesting about it? It's just that you've forcibly bound me to this situation, hasn't it?"

"Well, it's already like this, so just enjoy it."

"I enjoy you, you bastard!" Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but curse, but she was helpless against her, knowing that was just the kind of person she was, and could only sigh in resignation.

Seeing that Hiratsuka Shizuka had given up resisting, Yukinoshita Haruno smiled and turned back to look at Sakurakoji Saiki.

"Alright, everything's fine on my end. Shall we begin?"

"Anytime."

“Very well, then, my question is…” Changing the subject abruptly, Yukinoshita Haruno smiled slyly, her slender, pale fingers pointing at Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was still sighing and clutching her forehead. Under her astonished gaze, she asked mercilessly:

"How old is she? The answer should be within one year of error."

"You bastard!" Hiratsuka Shizuka could no longer hold back and threw a punch with her right hand without any effort.

"What a pity!" Having anticipated her reaction, Yukinoshita Haruno caught her fist precisely, then coiled her body around her like a snake, tightly holding her torso and preventing her from making any further moves.

If she had reacted any slower, she probably would have been carried out lying down.

"Let me go! You bastard!"

"You dragged me into this without my permission, and now you're using my... as a problem? Are you even human?"

"I'm going to teach you a lesson today and make you understand the difference between superiors and subordinates!"

Ignoring her enraged friend, Yukinoshita Haruno, while desperately trying to suppress her, looked at Sakurakoji Sai with a confident air and said, "So, what's your answer?"

Seeing the chaotic scene unfolding before him, Sakurakoji Sai had a bit of sweat on his forehead. He had to admit that he really didn't expect Yukinoshita Haruno, that troublemaker, to use this as a problem to trick him.

He answered incorrectly, and she was able to win the competition.

He answered correctly, and she could use that as an excuse to mock and toy with Hiratsuka Shizuka.

No loss either way.

No way, Yukinoshita Haruno, are you even human? Is this all the friendship you have? What did Shizuka do to deserve this kind of persecution?

He was cursing under his breath, but outwardly he dared not show it at all.

This question was naturally no challenge for him; the answer even popped into his head in less than a second. But faced with the furious Hiratsuka Shizuka, would he dare to give the correct answer directly?

No! He can't!

Unless he wanted to offend her to the point of no return, which was certainly impossible given his illness.

Therefore, even though the question itself wasn't difficult, he could only reluctantly give a wrong answer.

You win, Yukinoshita Haruno. I admit, you're the more insidious one now.

Sakurakoji touched his face, revealing a helpless expression, and lied to give the best answer at the moment: "Well, although I know it's probably not that simple, judging from this young lady's appearance, could she just turn 18?"

Upon hearing his answer, Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had been struggling violently, stopped moving.

Her previously furious expression softened, and a vibrant smile, unlike anything Yukino had ever seen before, bloomed on her face. She was completely captivated, and her gaze towards Sakurakoji's talent was filled with admiration and appreciation.

"Oh, so you think I'm 18? Oh, I see!"

"By the way, how old do you think she is this year?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka bent her arm and pointed as far as she could at Yukinoshita Haruno behind her.

"Hmm...this young lady is quite young too, probably around 20?"

"Hahaha...did you hear that? To other people, I look younger than you!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but laugh out loud, feeling that she had finally won a round today. She nudged Yukinoshita Haruno, who was restraining her, with her buttocks and teased her.

"Hey~ You've got something." Yukinoshita Haruno's eyelids twitched, and she stared intently at Sakurakoji's expressionless face, a curious smile playing on her lips.

I never expected that the question I asked with some malicious intent would be so easily deciphered, and that the other party would even turn the tables on me. I can predict that Hiratsuka Shizuka will definitely use this incident to mock me for some time to come.

Although the other party didn't exaggerate their age when estimating it, why should they?

Hiratsuka Shizuka's age was actually estimated to be younger than her own!

Could it be that because she always acts so mature, she actually looks older? Yukinoshita Haruno couldn't help but fall into self-doubt, feeling a rare sense of frustration.

Although she suspected that Sakurakoji's talent might be intentional, she couldn't be sure, since Hiratsuka Shizuka's appearance was indeed very deceptive.

Even if she looks young, we shouldn't guess she's 18!

After observing the reactions of the two individuals, Sakurakoji Saito breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless, this incident has definitely increased his favorability towards Shizuna Hiratsuka, and as for Haruno Yukinoshita... she doesn't seem very angry, so the outcome was still good.

"How is it? Am I right?"

Sakurakoji asked the question knowingly, looking expectantly at Yukinoshita Haruno.

"Right? What do you mean right? It's completely off by a hundred and eight thousand miles!"

Because she wanted to refute him, she relaxed her control over Hiratsuka Shizuka, which resulted in Yukinoshita Haruno being hit in the abdomen by Hiratsuka Shizuka's elbow just as she was about to say the next sentence. This caused her to involuntarily bend over, interrupting her from saying what she was about to say.

"Well, it's not entirely accurate, but it's pretty close. You're great!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka covered her mouth and waved her hand, indicating that Sakurakoji Takumi shouldn't mind.

"Ah~ what a pity, I thought I guessed pretty accurately." Sakurakoji Sai said with a regretful tone, as if he really thought so.

"Haha...no, don't worry about it."

Despite Hiratsuka Shizuka's constant slaps on her back, Yukinoshita Haruno struggled to her feet. She looked at Sakurakoji Takayuki with a smile that held a hint of revenge. How dare he humiliate her like this! She was going to bully him properly later!

"Since you lost, then keep your promise." Yukinoshita Haruno said angrily, gesturing for him to fulfill the agreement.

"Don't rush, we'll settle the bill together later." Sakurakoji Sai still had a professional smile, indicating that she was too impatient.

"Then what do you mean?"

"Now that you've answered all your questions, it's my turn to ask. My question is... well, let's go with this one."

Sakurakoji's talent grabbed Iji Tomoka, who was just coming over to get a drink, and pulled her in front of him amidst her astonished gaze.

"I have the same question as you: how old is our boss this year? The error can't be more than one year!"

"Wait, who gave you permission to treat me like a problem! Do you have any manners?"

Iji Tomoka, who was initially wondering what he was up to, became just as angry as Hiratsuka Shizuka when she heard that Sakurakoji Takumi had dared to test someone on her most sensitive topic.

Does this guy even understand the pain of older women?

I'm going to fire you!

"Besides, do you even know how old I am before you ask?"

Sakurakoji pressed his face close to her rosy earlobe and softly uttered a number.

Ichi Hoshika felt a tickle on her ear from his hair and breath, and instinctively shrank back into his arms. When she realized what he had said, her eyes widened instantly.

"How do you know? Who told you? Was it Nijika? Or PA?"

"No! Even if you know, I won't allow you to... *sobs*"

Just like Yukinoshita Haruno, he bound Iji Tomokashi in front of him and covered her red lips, which were trying to resist. Sakurakoji then signaled to Yukinoshita Haruno that she could start answering.

Yukino Yukinoshita was also somewhat bewildered, not expecting that the other party would actually know the Murong family's unique martial art - Dou Zhuan Xing Yi.

He used her own methods against her, catching her completely off guard.

Glancing at Ijichi Hoshika, who was also incredibly young but dressed rather casually, she looked troubled and unsure of what to do.

She looks very young, like a college student in her early twenties, even younger than Hiratsuka Shizuka, but since Sakurakoji Tadashi dared to ask such a question, it's definitely not that simple.

Holy crap! How come there are so many young enchantresses in this world?

Yukinoshita couldn't help but curse under her breath, feeling frustrated by her repeated defeats today.

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Iji Tomoka with interest. Unlike Yukinoshita Haruno, her eyes sparkled with the light of seeing a comrade. Could it be that she also...? Perhaps the two could become good friends!

"Well, how about that? It's easy to guess, isn't it?" Sakurakoji Sai looked at Yukinoshita Haruno with a smile.

You're kidding me!

Yukinoshita puffed out her cheeks; she finally understood what he had felt. Indeed, one can only truly empathize with another after experiencing something firsthand.

Never mind, there's no point in thinking about it anymore. After a moment's thought, Yukinoshita Haruno made a decision.

Xiao Jing, please bless me!

"I'd guess she's around 27?"

"You guy!"

Upon hearing her answer, the most excited person was not Sakurakoji Caihua, but Hiratsuka Shizuka. She instantly understood what this rascal was thinking and subconsciously punched her.

"A good answer, but incorrect!"

Sakurakoji's lips curled into a triumphant smile, while Yukinoshita looked regretful.

Damn it! Xiaojing is no good either!

Is that woman older than Xiaojing? That can't be true, right?

Clutching her aching kidney, Yukino Yukinoshita bared her teeth in resentment.

"Not bad my foot!"

Ijichi Hoshika fought back, breaking free from Sakurakoji's grasp, and struck him hard with her elbow, making him make the same gesture and expression as Yukinoshita Haruno, blushing and shouting loudly.

Ignoring Sakurakoji's rare moment of embarrassment, Ijichi Seika was furious, her usually aloof and expressionless face contorted with anger. Just thinking about the physical contact they'd had just had made her heart, which had been single for many years, race.

Doesn't this guy know the basic distance between men and women?

Or is it because he's too alluring and therefore less perceptive in this area than most people?

"Are you guys performing stand-up comedy?" Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but retort as she looked at the two who had collapsed.

"Hey~ What happened? What's wrong with Mr. Caihua?"

Noticing the commotion, Ijichi Nijika, Yamada Ryo, and the others rushed over. Seeing Sakurakoji's unusual behavior, they asked Ijichi Seika in surprise.

"Hmph! You can ask him yourself later!"

Ijichi Hoshika turned her head away, crossed her arms, and didn't want to talk.

"what……"

Seeing her older sister acting strangely, Ichiji Nijika was also very curious and squatted down to poke Sakurakoji Takayuki.

"Mr. Caihua, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, just a joke, don't worry about it." Standing up, Sakurakoji Kenji put away his seemingly non-existent pain and replied with a nonchalant smile.

“?” Ichiji Nijika tilted her head, still not understanding.

"I was just playing a game with those two guests over there," Sakurakoji said, downplaying the main cause of the accident.

Ichi Nijika looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka and the other girl, a hint of surprise in her eyes. These two... are quite pretty too.

For some reason, Ichiji Nijika felt a sense of crisis.

"What kind of game was it? Did you win or lose?" Yamada Ryo, who was interested in this, asked.

"Hmm—one win and one loss, so it's a draw for now."
