Anime Crossover: The people the Saniwa knows are all over Japan

Covering her lower lip, she replied while deep in thought, "I also felt something was off, so I replied that I needed to think about it some more."

"Things don't seem to be very simple."

“That’s right.” Matoba put his hand back on the table and smiled. “However, I have agreed to attend the banquet. Although I have prepared to stay out of it, I still want to know more about this matter. Maybe I will gain something unexpected.”

He is mostly calm and rational, but occasionally he will have a desire to explore the unknown. However, because of his natural restraint, a proper desire to explore often benefits him.

Asuka didn't actually approve of this risky undertaking, but she didn't directly object. After hesitating for a while, she suggested, "How about I go with Seiji?"

With her around, Shizuka won't get hurt.

Who can blame me for being so considerate, Asuka-sama? (￣^￣)

"it is good."

Natori Kazuya indulged Asuka's every whim, and Asuka herself was no different.

The sound of knuckles tapping on the wooden stairs was slightly dull. Asuka looked up at the stairs and saw Hikari, who had changed into a dark dress, looking at them with a half-smile.

“I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, I just wanted to come down to get something.” He pointed to the sofa, on which was a lady’s handbag. “But Mr. Toba, is the luxury cruise ship banquet you mentioned the one hosted by Mr. Sakurabuki Hikomaro? If so, I also received an invitation. I wonder if it would be convenient for us to go together tomorrow?”

Although Guang has spent most of his time in Italy and his network of contacts is concentrated in that country, this does not mean that he has no connections in Japan and America.

His gaze was deep and cold as he looked at the smiling woman in women's clothing.

The next day, the three of them were in the same car.

The car was very spacious. Although I really wanted to pull Fei Niao to sit far away on the other side of the light, I felt that would be childish, so I had to give up.

Perhaps because she was attending an important banquet, she wore a sharp black suit, her long orange hair tied up with a hair tie, a stark contrast to her female attire the night before.

Hikari saw Asuka cautiously examining her, and then raised her lips in a smile: "Is Asuka curious about me under men's clothing?"

His smile was somewhat wicked, but not charming.

I didn't expect that just changing my clothes would change some of my little habits, but my personality remained completely the same.

"I usually dress up as a woman to get closer to male prisoners." He leaned closer to the girl, his hands resting on the chair.

He kindly explained, "I heard that Mr. Matoba has a cute little child at home, and I was thinking that a feminine image might be more approachable. What do you think, Asuka? Which image do you prefer? Hmm?"

The final syllable rises slightly, giving off a frivolous and malicious feeling.

Whether they were dressed as men or women, they all spoke with a strange, unique, and pleasant tone that made people want to hear more.

However, since Asuka is a very straight woman, all of Hikari's little tricks have no effect on her.

Given a multiple-choice question that causes decision paralysis? She would only reply—

"Anything is fine."

Guang looked bewildered.

A pleasant atmosphere.

The weather was fine, the sun was shining brightly, and the azure sea was calm and still.

After showing the invitation to the waiter, Asuka and her two companions successfully boarded Sakura Fubuki's private cruise ship.

The cruise ship is very well-maintained, with complete and luxurious interior facilities and ingenious little design details throughout.

Many celebrities dressed in haute couture suits and tuxedos strolled and chatted casually on the deck, each wearing a proper smiling mask, with fragrant scents wafting through the air and the tinkling of their jewelry as they walked.

Asuka disliked this atmosphere. Over the past thousand years, she had experienced enough of the hypocrisy and pretense among the upper class, and she had even been one of them herself.

boring and hypocritical

This is how Asuka initially assessed himself.

Only after experiencing shackles and then freedom will one realize how precious and rare it is to do as one pleases.
