Anime Crossover: A single ranking exposed the world

No matter what they said, they just chuckled and brushed it off, trying their best to find a chance to escape this place.

Perhaps the two adults were too pleased with Kanzaki Teru, because they started chatting very happily, and suddenly ignored Kanzaki Teru standing in front of them.

This was exactly what Kanzaki Teru wanted to do; if not now, when?

Kanzaki Teru gave a very quiet report.

Chapter 176: Falling into Paradise

"Father, then I shall take my leave now?"

This sentence was almost completely ignored in the entire study.

Once the adults start chatting happily, the younger generation can't get a word in edgewise.

However, Kanzaki Teru did not deliberately check whether the two elders had heard his conversation. He only wanted to make sure that he had said what he had said and then leave immediately.

Kanzaki Teru, stepping out of the study, let out a long sigh of relief, as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

However, it seems that he doesn't feel any pressure at all, and the pressure regarding his grades is all self-imposed.

The pressure that follows is nothing more than these praises that don't belong to him.

The weather here is very mild every day, neither too hot nor too cold.

The warm sun felt nothing on my skin; the summer heat felt more like the winter sun.

It also feels like there won't be any bad weather, and it's like spring all year round.

How did Kanzaki Teru make this discovery? Every time he passed through a certain place, he would carefully observe the plants and animals there. It was obvious that they were all creatures with extremely high requirements for their environment.

However, for some reason, Kanzaki Teru's desire to explore and learn about everything here is slowly disappearing.

Now he seems to be accepting of his situation.

Everything here is so strange and wonderful, unlike when she first arrived, it wasn't as captivating or something she had to figure out.

"Let's go back!"

Kanzaki Teru hummed a little tune as he strolled into his room.

However, on the way back, we still had to pass by that exquisite and luxurious little garden.

Inside the pavilion, Princess Gaoyue sat playing the zither, her hair and robes fluttering gently in the breeze.

As if the couple were of one mind and had received a spiritual connection, the melodious sound of a piano drifted out as soon as Kanzaki Teru entered.

Princess Takazuki had her back to Kanzaki Teru and was unaware that the man behind her was approaching.

After spending these past few days together, Kanzaki Teru's heart has been constantly dominated by a certain emotion.

It's like their childhood sweetheart relationship, their hearts intertwined, all of which has seeped into Kanzaki Teru's very bones.

Now, the way Kanzaki Teru looked at Princess Takatsuki had softened considerably.

If it was out of politeness before, now this look in his eyes is absolutely unmistakable—it's love.

Princess Gaoyue was proficient in all the arts from a young age, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Even when she played the zither, her skill was unmatched by others.

Sunlight streams down, willow catkins drift in the air, the sound of a piano lingers, hearts beat as one—how could Kanzaki Teru waste such a beautiful moment?

Despite the melodious and gentle music, in Kanzaki Teru's heart and eyes, only Princess Takatsuki shone.

Kanzaki Teru slowed his pace and tiptoed up behind Princess Takatsuki.

With a gentle yet sudden movement, he embraced Princess Gaoyue from behind.

Princess Gaoyue, who was playing the zither intently at that moment, was startled and let out a scream. After seeing who was behind her, her eyes suddenly became as clear as a spring.

"You scared me to death! How annoying!"

Princess Gaoyue pouted coquettishly, but her body nimbly turned around and fell into Kanzaki Teru's arms.

It seemed that the two had been inseparable since the beginning. The servants in the courtyard came and went, but no one stopped to watch. At most, they would make a few jokes, just like before.

"Didn't you say I haven't spent much time with you in a long time? Hmm? I'll take you out to play today!"

After saying that, he picked up Princess Gaoyue and carried her horizontally.

This caused Princess Gaoyue to scream again.

The streets were naturally bustling with activity. Kanzaki Teru and Princess Takatsuki strolled hand in hand like a young couple deeply in love.

As darkness fell, neither of them made any plans to go home.

Wandering through the brightly lit market, I had a wonderful time.

Looking at Kanzaki Hikaru now, he has completely integrated into this place.

The various thoughts that were previously in my mind are slowly being replaced by a "what will be, will be" attitude.

Now, Haha has no secrets to explore, he lives a carefree and happy life, like a blissful immortal.

But then again, who wouldn't want to be a rich kid in such an environment?

If one could choose not to strive, how many people would actually fight tooth and nail for something?

The two people who went out never stopped smiling.

Princess Gaoyue was also exhausted from playing, so Kanzaki Teru took her back home.

"Hui, I'm so happy today!"

Kanzaki Teru patted her head affectionately, without saying a word.

However, his expression and eyes showed pity and affection.

He pulled Princess Gaoyue directly back to his own room and summoned the maids to help her with her washing and grooming.

Princess Gaoyue realized what was happening and immediately began to stammer and ask questions.

"Hui...you...you're still not well...I...I'll sleep with you, but I'm afraid of disturbing your rest."

Kanzaki Teru looked at Princess Takatsuki, who was bowing her head, whether out of shyness or something else, and his mood inexplicably quickened. This must be the joy of teasing a little girl!

Chapter 177: The Will Begins to Awaken

At this point, a glint of inspiration flashed in Kanzaki Teru's eyes. He wanted to tease the seemingly harmless little girl in front of him a little longer.

So Kanzaki Teru stepped forward and took the comb from the maid who was combing Princess Takatsuki's hair.

The maidservant seemed very used to this, and naturally stepped back a distance, placing the comb in Kanzaki Teru's hands.

Kanzaki Teru picked up the comb, as if it were muscle memory, and picked up a strand of the lovely girl's soft hair in front of him, combing her hair in a proper manner.

Kanzaki Hikaru leaned slightly forward, bringing his face close to Princess Takatsuki's ear.

She said softly, "Isn't my body strong enough? Why worry about these things?"

"You should have come and been with me a long time ago."

The warm breath brushed against Princess Gaoyue's ear, and her body trembled slightly at the sensation of this intimate moment.

Kanzaki Teru saw all of this.

Princess Gaoyue also clearly noticed this, and her face immediately turned bright red, unable to utter a single word.

Looking at Princess Takatsuki in the bronze mirror, who was so ashamed of him that she couldn't lift her head, Kanzaki Teru felt a strange sense of accomplishment well up inside him.

"Okay, I'm just kidding. Don't worry, I'm really all better."

Princess Gaoyue mustered her courage and then spoke a sentence in a soft, sweet voice.

"I didn't say you were unwell..."

Standing behind Princess Takatsuki, Kanzaki Teru's smile stretched almost to his ears.

"So you're worried about yourself..."

The two whispered sweet nothings to each other, filling the room with an ambiguous atmosphere, and of course, a faint fragrance.

It's true that over time, the things around us become so familiar that we tend to overlook them.

For example, if Kanzaki Teru didn't have this fragrance in the room now, he would find it a bit strange.

However, he never really thought about why the incense burner, which had been left unattended, could still continuously emit a pleasant fragrance every day.

Kanzaki Teru only vaguely assumed it was some kind of precious spice he had never seen before.

After tonight, Princess Gaoyue returned to their room to sleep together, resuming their shameless life as before.

Kanzaki Teru is here every day, day after day.

He wasn't told he needed to manage the family business too much, but he genuinely did his best.

But there really wasn't anywhere that required his intervention.

So most of the time, he remained the same idle flight attendant, living a carefree life.

When people are well-fed and clothed, they start to think about sex. If they live a leisurely life and do whatever they want, their thoughts will gradually change.

You can reach heights that many people can never achieve in their entire lives without putting in any effort every day.

What other reason would I have to work hard?

Perhaps it was the last vestige of willpower within Kanzaki Teru that sensed something was wrong and tried to communicate with his brain.

However, in this place, the original laws were already greatly suppressed.

As his remaining will was slowly worn away, even that last bit of it had a negligible effect.

Whether or not true communication with the brain can be achieved depends on the right timing, location, and people.

Another night, filled with the fragrance of the night.

Kanzaki Teru, the only remaining sliver of will within his body, was still somewhat conscious, so he had tried to communicate with Haha's brain multiple times, but to no avail.

So that last shred of will gradually calmed down and began to search for anything amiss in the surroundings.

Although this bit of willpower was negligible, it still came from the body of Kanzaki Hikaru, who previously possessed powerful magic.

Therefore, it can be considered to be a level above ordinary willpower.

He can't completely control Kanzaki Hikaru's current thoughts about the world, but controlling some other minor things shouldn't be difficult.

That last vestige of willpower immediately noticed something amiss with that faint fragrance.

Every time he breaks through Kanzaki Hikaru's mental defenses, a force intertwines with him.
