Crossover Anime: The Succubus Boy's Path to Conquering Him

Page 8

　Faced with Ritsu Haga's smile, Kotonoha Katsura's cute little face couldn't help but blush.

　"She's actually quite easy to win over." Looking at Katsura Kotonoha's slightly flushed face, Haga Ritsu's confidence soared. It seemed that Katsura Kotonoha was even easier to win over than Katsura Manami.

　“Ritsu is my friend’s child. She’s been too busy to take care of him lately, so she asked me to look after him. He’ll be staying at our house for a few days. Kotoha, you all need to get along well with him.”

　As soon as Katsura Manami finished speaking, Katsura Kokoro...

Chapter 14

　She jumped out from behind Katsura Kotonoha and ran to Haga Ritsu, raising her head slightly to look at him.

　"Big brother, you're so handsome!"

　"Oh my god!" Katsura Kotonoha was startled when she saw her younger sister run up to Haga Ritsu.

　"You're very cute too, can I call you Kokoro too?" Yuga Ritsu smiled and reached out to rub Kokoro's head.

　But in truth, Yuga Ritsu couldn't help but feel sorry that Katsura Shin was too young. He could only look at her; there was no way to win her over. Even if he did, he wouldn't be able to take her in.

　Therefore, Ritsu Haga is more interested in Kotonoha Katsura.

　Haga Ritsu withdrew his hand, then walked up to Katsura Kotonoha and extended his hand to her: "Hello, may I call you Kotonoha?"

　Looking at the hand that Yuga Ritsu extended towards her, Katsura Kotonoha felt as if Yuga Ritsu was radiating warm and gentle sunlight, making her feel ashamed of herself.

　After the sound of the commotion, Katsura Kotonoha came to her senses and saw Haga Ritsu's outstretched hand. She quickly reached out and grasped Haga Ritsu's hand.

　"But...it's okay."

　"Then you can just call me Ritsu, Kotoha."

　Seeing that Haga Ritsu and Katsura Kotonoha were getting along well, Katsura Manami breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried that Katsura Kotonoha and the others would resist her bringing Haga Ritsu back.

　"Alright, alright, let's talk about everything else tomorrow, okay? It's getting late. Tomorrow, Kotoha, you can show Ritsu around our house."

　And so, Katsura Manami forcefully made the decision, and then urged Katsura Kotonoha and Katsura Kokoro to go to sleep.

　As for Haga Ritsu, Katsura Manami prepared a guest room for him instead of having him sleep with her.

　After all, this is home, and Katsura Manami hasn't gone to such extremes.

　"Goodnight." Katsura Manami gently kissed Haga Ritsu on the forehead, then got up and left the room.

　After Katsura Manami left, Haga Ritsu immediately brought up the system panel to take a look.

　Name: Yuga Ritsu

　Skill: Basic Hypnosis

　Constitution: Succubus Constitution

　Money: 75000 yen

　Points: 0

　Strategy characters: Katsura Manami (30%), Katsura Yanha (0%)

　Yuga Ritsu noticed that Katsura Kotonoha had been added to his list of potential romance targets. Yuga Ritsu couldn't help but marvel at how intelligent the system was; it knew he wanted to romance Katsura Kotonoha and had added her name to his list.

　However, the large 0 on the points screen was really too glaring, making Yuga Ritsu feel a strange sense of displeasure and unease.

　After all, if you don't have any points, it would be frustrating if you encountered something you couldn't solve while playing the game and wanted to redeem something but didn't have enough points to do so.

　Therefore, Yuga Ritsu made up his mind to speed up his pursuit of Katsura Kotonoha as soon as possible, hoping to get 1 point by tomorrow.

　With this thought in mind, Yuga Ritsu fell asleep.

　When Yuga Ritsu woke up again, he saw Katsura Kotonoha's cute little face almost touching his own; he could even feel her warm breath on his face.

　When she saw Haga Ritsu open his eyes, Katsura Kotonoha was startled and instinctively took two steps back to distance herself from him.

　"Kotoha?" Haga Ritsu sat up in bed, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

　"I...I came to wake you up, but I knocked on the door for a long time and you didn't open it, so I came in."

　Katsura Kotonoha lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.

　Actually, there were some things she hadn't told Yuhe Ritsu. When she came in, she originally intended to wake Yuhe Ritsu up, but after seeing Yuhe Ritsu's handsome face, she seemed mesmerized and unconsciously leaned her head closer to him.

　If Ritsu Haga hadn't just woken up, Kotonoha Katsura might have already pressed her head against him.

　So when she thought about it, Katsura Kotonoha's face turned red. She didn't know what she had just been doing, but she was really close to getting close to him.

　"Is that so?" Yuhe Ritsu couldn't help but smile slightly. If it were really to wake him up, he wouldn't be this close.

　"Yes, Mom asked me to show you around the house, Lu Jun. You'd better get up now."

　After awkwardly changing the subject, Katsura Kotonoha hurriedly fled the room. For a girl her age, Haga Ritsu's smile was still too much for her.

　Watching Katsura Kotonoha run away, Haga Ritsu shook his head. In front of Katsura Kotonoha, he didn't need to act like a child like he did in front of Katsura Manami.

　A short while later, after finishing breakfast, Ritsu Haga, led by Kotonoha Katsura, began to tour the Katsura family's large villa.

　Actually, there's nothing particularly special about the Katsura family's villa. You wouldn't be too surprised if there were small karaoke rooms or study rooms in the villa.

　But when Katsura Kotonoha led Haga Ritsu into a room that was a full 100 square meters in size, Haga Ritsu couldn't help but gape.

　Because this room was clearly a dojo, he could see a samurai sword that looked quite old on a sword rack in the corner of the dojo.

　"Kotoha, does your family even have places like this?"

　"Because my family has a tradition of Iaijutsu passed down through generations, I usually practice here."

　As Katsura Kotonoha spoke, she didn't forget to make a couple of random hand gestures in the air to show Haga Ritsu.

　What Haga Ritsu didn't know was that as the daughter of a noble family, she had to learn martial arts in order to shoulder the responsibilities in the future. So, even though Katsura Kotonoha looked delicate and weak, she had been practicing iaido since she was a child.

　"Oh?" Yuga Ritsu immediately became interested: "Could you give me a performance?"

　If anyone else said such a thing, Katsura Kotonoha would definitely refuse without hesitation, because despite her gentle and weak appearance, she also has her own samurai spirit.

　Moreover, the iaido techniques she learned were all murder techniques used to kill people; how could she perform them for others like an actor?

　However, since it was Haga Ritsu who brought this up with Katsura Kotonoha, she agreed almost without much thought.

　Soon, Katsura Kotonoha dragged out a target that seemed to be used for practice.

　Yuga Ritsu took a closer look and saw that the target was made of rolled bamboo mats. He squeezed it and found that it was quite hard.

　"Lu Jun, please stand aside. I'm afraid you might get hurt later."

　The moment Katsura Kotonoha grasped the knife, all her fragility vanished, and she became extremely serious. This was the first time Haga Ritsu had ever seen Katsura Kotonoha like this.

　After Haga Ritsu stepped aside, Katsura Kotonoha sat down in front of the upright target, placing her sword beside her.

　Not long after, Yuga Ritsu heard the sound of a sword being drawn. Before he could react, a flash of light appeared, and the sword that was originally beside Katsura Kotonoha was already drawn and struck the target.

　The first thing Haga Ritsu did when he came to his senses was look at the target, where Katsura Kotonoha's sword had cut halfway in.

　Looking at the gap that Katsura Kotonoha had noticed, Haga Ritsu inexplicably felt a chill run down his neck. If that knife were to cut his neck, even if it couldn't cut off his head, cutting off half of it would surely kill him.

　"How is it?" Katsura Kotonoha turned around and looked at Haga Ritsu with an expectant expression.

　"You're really amazing," Yuga Ritsu praised sincerely.

　Katsura Kotonoha, who had received praise from Haga Ritsu, seemed to be drunk and felt a little dizzy.

　"Can I try?" Haga Ritsu didn't care how Katsura Kotonoha reacted to his praise. He looked at the knife that was still stuck on the target and was eager to try.

　As a man, the things I like are nothing more than those: beautiful women, cars, and electronic products, and then there's fighting with guns and weapons.

　Seeing that Katsura Kotonoha was able to cut so many holes, Haga Ritsu naturally wanted to see how big the difference was between himself and Katsura Kotonoha.

Chapter 15

　"Of course you can." Katsura Kotonoha immediately pulled out the sword and handed it to Haga Ritsu.

　Without saying a word, Yuga Ritsu, holding the sword, slashed at the target. However, the result was not as Yuga Ritsu had imagined, cutting the target in half, nor did it cut halfway in like Katsura Kotonoha had.

　Instead, only a small section was cut in before Haga Ritsu was already unable to exert any force.

　Even so, Katsura Kotonoha immediately applauded and praised Haga Ritsu.

　"It's not as simple as I imagined."

　Ritsu Haga was not swayed by Kotonoha Katsura's applause and praise. After all, the difference between the two was clearly evident on the target, and he also understood how impressive it was that Kotonoha, as a girl, could score half of the target.

　Yuga Ritsu made up his mind that it would be best to avoid provoking Katsura Kotonoha in the future. If Katsura Kotonoha were to stab him while he was asleep, he would be finished.

　Just thinking about it, Yuga Ritsu could picture Katsura Kotonoha cleanly severing his head with a single stroke, then holding his bleeding head in her arms.

　Thinking of this, Yuga Ritsu couldn't help but shudder.

　Chapter 13 Kotoha: Come closer, I'm afraid of thunder.

　Although Ritsu Haga felt that Kotonoha Katsura was somewhat dangerous, he was still very interested in the iaido of the Kotonoha family.

　So throughout the day, Ritsu Haga spent almost all of his time learning Kotonoha Katsura's iaido techniques.

　After a day, Haga Ritsu was basically familiar with the Katsura Kotonoha family and wouldn't say anything like getting lost in the Katsura Kotonoha family.

　That night, before going to bed, Katsura Kotonoha received a call from Katsura Manami.

　During the phone call, Katsura Manami said that she was busy with work today and might not be able to go home. She also said that if there was anything she needed, she could ask Haga Ritsu for help.

　"Kotoha, you can come to me if you need anything," Haga Ritsu assured Kotoha over the phone, patting his chest.

　"Hmm."

　Compared to last night, Katsura Kotonoha's tone this time showed no signs of frustration.

　After all, Katsura Kotonoha's heart has already started to belong to Haga Ritsu. With Haga Ritsu, who is the same age as her, by her side, she doesn't feel lonely at home anymore.

　"Then go to sleep. If you need anything, Kotoha, just remember to come find me."

　Back in his room, Yuga Ritsu turned off the light and lay down on the bed, starting to summarize. Although the system hadn't shown up all day, Yuga Ritsu had still figured out Katsura Kotonoha's personality.

　After learning about Katsura Kotonoha's personality, Haga Ritsu can begin to win her over.

　"Then tomorrow..."

　A loud clap of thunder sounded outside the window, interrupting Yuga Ritsu's thoughts.

　"It's raining?"

　Yuga Ritsu rolled out of bed and walked to the bedside. Almost at the same time he reached the window, thunder roared again, and rain poured down.

　Seeing this, Yuga Ritsu immediately closed the window and drew the curtains.

　After finishing these tasks, Ritsu Haga returned to the bedside to continue planning his strategy to win over Kotonoha Katsura.

　But before Yuga Ritsu could even begin to make a plan, a knock on the door once again interrupted his thoughts.

　"Come in!" Yuga Ritsu could only call out to the door with a helpless expression.

　No sooner had Haga Ritsu finished speaking than the door was pushed open, and Katsura Kotonoha, clutching a pillow, walked in.

　"Kotoha?" Haga Ritsu really didn't expect it to be Katsura Kotoha; he thought she was a maid in Katsura Kotoha's household.

　However, Ritsu Haga quickly understood why Kotonoha Katsura had come over, because the thunder that followed startled Kotonoha Katsura, who had just entered the room, so much so that she was trembling all over.

　Looking at the heavy rain outside and at Katsura Kotonoha in this state, Haga Ritsu quickly realized that Katsura Kotonoha was afraid of thunder, which was why she had come looking for him.

　"Um...I...can I sleep with you, Ritsu-kun? I'm scared of thunder." Katsura Kotonoha finally recovered from the thunder and stammered as she asked Haga Ritsu.

　If she could, Katsura Kotonoha wouldn't want to bother Haga Ritsu, but she was just too afraid of thunder. When she was little, Katsura Manami could stay with her, and earlier she could sleep with her younger sister Katsura Kokoro.

　But now that Gui Xin has grown up and has her own room, it's impossible for her, as the older sister, to say that she would go and sleep with Gui Xin just because she's afraid of thunder.

　Katsura Kotonoha also tried her best to maintain the image of a good older sister in front of her younger sister.

　So Katsura Kotonoha thought of Haga Ritsu, since Haga Ritsu had told her before going to sleep that she could come to him if she needed anything.

　"Then come on." Without thinking much, Haga Ritsu waved to Katsura Kotonoha.

　There's absolutely no reason to refuse in this situation. He was just thinking about how to win over Katsura Kotonoha, and then she just walked right into his arms.

　If he doesn't take advantage of this time to do something, then he'll be wasting the opportunity that Katsura Kotonoha offered him.

　No need to wait until tomorrow for the strategy guide, let's start now!

　Katsura Kotonoha breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Haga Ritsu didn't seem to be laughing at her. She then walked to the bedside, climbed up, and lay down next to Haga Ritsu.

　Once Katsura Kotonoha lay down, Haga Ritsu turned his head slightly to look at her, only to find that she was a full meter away from him. This wouldn't do.
