In this crossover anime, I've been bound to two systems.

Suzumiya Senri turned off the stove, picked up the plate of fried rice, and turned to ask Touma Kazusa for her opinion.

"Shall we eat here?"

"kindness."

It smells good.

Most importantly, this is the rice he cooked.

Touma Kazusa nodded, her eyes brimming with barely concealed anticipation.

Bring it up quickly!

Suzumiya Senri placed the fried rice in front of her and handed her chopsticks and a spoon.

He didn't have the habit of watching others eat; he immediately turned around, rolled up his sleeves, and started washing the cutting board and cookware.

This made Touma Kazusa no longer need to hide her anticipation. She couldn't wait to scoop up the distinct grains of fried rice with a spoon, blow on them, and put them in her mouth.

good to eat!

Touma Kazusa couldn't wait to take a second bite, and then her movements became faster and faster.

After Suzumiya finished cleaning the stove, she turned around and saw Touma Kazusa elegantly wiping her mouth with a tissue.

The plate was spotless; apart from the oil, there wasn't a single grain of rice or scallion in sight.

Although I considered that the other person was a girl and wouldn't have a big appetite, so I didn't cook much rice, just a small bowlful, it was still too fast.

Isn't it too hot to eat?

There's strawberry milk in the fridge.

Touma Kazusa said to Suzumiya Chisato, who was taking away the plate.

"I don't want any, thank you."

"I didn't ask you to drink it, could you please get it for me?"

“...Touma-kun.”

"kindness?"

"This is your home, I am a guest."

Suzumiya Chisato emphasized the identities of the two of them.

"Don't be so polite, feel free to make this your home."

Perhaps because the fried rice she had just eaten was so to her liking, Touma Kazusa was in a very good mood, so much so that she smiled slightly, which was uncommon, and started joking.

Don't worry, it's not "as if" this place will eventually become my home.

Suzumiya Chisato opened the refrigerator, took out strawberry milk, inserted a straw for her, and handed it to her.

Touma Kazusa drank her milk and watched him wash the plates and put them in the cupboard before the two of them returned to the living room together.

"Alright, now that we've filled our stomachs, let's begin our studies."

Suzumiya Chisato made this announcement.

Touma Kazusa, however, leaned lazily against the sofa, ignoring him as if she hadn't heard him, her gaze fixed on the floor-to-ceiling window.

Don't think you can get away with it by pretending you didn't hear it.

Suzumiya Chisato walked up to her.

Touma Kazusa, biting her lip, habitually straightened her gaze.

"I didn't mean to run away, I just finished eating and my stomach is too full to study at all."

"so what?"

"I think it's more efficient to take a break before starting to study."

Touma Kazusa argued her case logically.

"That sounds reasonable, but I refuse. Do you think it's that time of day? It's almost 10 o'clock. Half the day is already over. There's not much time left to dawdle."

Suzumiya Chisato took Touma Kazusa's schoolbag from beside the sofa, opened it, and took out books and exercises, placing them on the table.

Touma Kazusa muttered under her breath, "That's because you arrived too late."

Suzumiya Senri looked at her.

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing, if you say start, then let's start."

Touma Kazusa gave up resisting, thinking that if she started sooner, she could end it sooner. She planned to let him do whatever he wanted for the time being, and then get her revenge when she taught him the piano later.

"Okay, considering that Touma's grades aren't very good, let's not try to achieve everything at once. We'll just take it one step at a time..."

As Suzumiya Chisato continued talking, Touma Kazusa's emotions remained relatively stable.

"Let's keep it simple today and focus on Chinese language and world history. You can look up information in the books and do the two sets of test papers for these two subjects."

"Huh? Two sets?"

Touma Kazusa had a shocked look on her face, as if to say, "Are you out of your mind?"

"How could you possibly finish two sets of practice questions in one go!"

"I didn't ask you to finish it all at once. After you finish one set, rest for ten minutes before doing the next set."

"That's not something a human could do!"

"Don't make such a confident statement. If most students in the world can do it, why can't you?"

Ignoring Touma Kazusa's resistance, Suzumiya Chisato expressionlessly placed the test paper and pen in front of her.

While muttering things like "devil," "bookworm who only knows how to read books," and "how can you teach others like this," Touma Kazusa reluctantly picked up her pen and stared at the questions that were giving her a headache.

"I've left the reference books here. If you don't understand anything, just look them up yourself. By the way, where is your bathroom?"

"After leaving the living room, turn right into the second room."

"Focus on your work, I'll be right back."

"I know, you're so annoying."

Touma Kazusa waved impatiently, signaling him to hurry up, her earlier good mood about enjoying the delicious food long gone.

Suzumiya Chisato got up and left the living room. When she returned after using the restroom, Touma Kazusa suddenly sat up from her lying position, pretending that she had been working hard all along.

Where did you come from, little kid...?

Suzumiya Senri walked over, glanced at it, and sure enough, found that not a single word on the exercise had been changed.

"Learning is something that, once you immerse yourself in it, you'll find that it's not difficult at all, and you'll finish it without even realizing it."

"...It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering."

Touma Kazusa took a deep breath and then forced herself to look at the exercises.

Suzumiya Chisato casually flipped through her textbook, glancing up at her every now and then.

The atmosphere between the two was peaceful and harmonious.

Chapter 163 Touma Kazusa Wants to Be Adored

Follow the teaching method of Suzumiya Chisato: do the questions you know how to do, look up the questions you don't know in the book, and skip the ones you really can't do.

With this arrangement, it was already two hours later before Touma Kazusa finished the two sets of test papers.

She had originally thought of just giving up and filling in some wrong answers to get by, but perhaps it was her shy girlish heart, or perhaps it was because she didn't want to show her stupid side in front of the person she liked and be looked down upon by him, in any case, although the process was painful, she still honestly did her best and carefully completed the two sets of test papers.

The moment it was finished, Touma Kazusa felt completely relieved and relaxed.

She fell backward and lay on the floor, feeling as if her brain had been completely emptied, and she didn't want to think about anything anymore.

"You've worked hard, but it's been completed faster than I expected. Let me take a look."

Suzumiya Chisato took the completed test paper and began to check it.

Touma Kazusa, who had been lying down for a while, sat up straight, took the pudding that Suzumiya Chisato had brought, and ate it while watching him grade her test paper.

Her initial attention was focused on Chisato Suzumiya's face as she graded the exam papers.

Previously, she could only peek at the scene when she lay down and pretended to be asleep in the classroom, letting her hair cover her eyes. Now, she could observe it up close, which made Touma Kazusa's heart beat much faster.

However, after seeing the other person mark one cross after another on her test paper, her pretty face flushed slightly.

She felt a little embarrassed that there were so many mistakes on the test paper that could be done by looking up the book.

"Not bad, much better than I expected."

Looking at the two exam papers that had finally been graded, one scored 62 and the other 70, Suzumiya Chisato smiled with satisfaction.

But Touma Kazusa felt that he was mocking her. She felt it was a bit unreasonable that she only got such low scores in Japanese Language and World History after consulting books.

Therefore, she didn't show any happiness, but instead gave a cold snort and turned her head to the other side, refusing to look at him.

Suzumiya Senri's expression held a hint of doubt; he remembered that what he had just said was indeed a compliment.

Was she misunderstood? Or was she embarrassed by her own overly direct praise and thus feigning indifference?

Never mind, it doesn’t matter.

"Come on, let me go through the parts you made that were wrong with you."

Suzumiya Chisato took the initiative to sit next to Touma Kazusa, spread out the test paper, and began to impart academic knowledge just like a conscientious teacher.

Touma Kazusa was startled by his sudden closeness and leaned to the side, feeling a little uncomfortable.

However, as she watched him carefully point out the mistakes in her exercises with the tip of his pen and focus on explaining the key points, she was subtly drawn to him again.

Intelligent people are popular and sought after everywhere, and this principle can be applied directly to romantic relationships without any problem.

If there are exceptions, it's either because the other person is ugly, or because they have personality flaws that are hard to look at.

Those two qualities don't exist in Suzumiya Chisato. On the contrary, his appearance and personality are both excellent.

In addition, Touma Kazusa also faintly smelled a fresh scent similar to laundry detergent. She had also smelled the same scent when she played a four-hand piano duet with her partner last time. She liked it and even missed it.
