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

Page 55

　She's no match for Katsura Manami and Katsura Kotonoha at all.

　But that's none of his business. After all, he doesn't have a good way to handle the relationship between the two of them, or rather, he doesn't have the ability, you know?

　All he needs to do is win over the two women; as for maintaining harmony in the harem, that can wait until later.

　Several days passed in the blink of an eye. Almost every day, Yukinoshita Haruno and Yukinoshita Ayano would come over, and naturally, a fierce battle would ensue.

　Meanwhile, Ritsu Haga also found it too boring to stay in the house all the time, since both Yukinoshita Haruno and Yukinoshita Ayano had to work and study and couldn't be with him 24 hours a day.

Chapter 85

　Not to mention that the two of them actually have work to do, so they don't have many opportunities to come early every day.

　So, while they were busy, Yuga Ritsu simply went out for a stroll to see if he could find some other targets to pursue.

　With this goal in mind, Haga Ritsu went out.

　Compared to the last time when he was trying to escape Katsura Manami's pursuit, this time Haga Ritsu was finally able to truly explore the Japanese city.

　The city, completely different from the one in his previous life, left Yuga Ritsu dazzled.

　Before he knew it, Yuga Ritsu noticed that there were many more students on the street.

　"Is school over?"

　Yuga Ritsu sized up the students walking by, but while he was sizing up others, they were also sizing up Yuga Ritsu.

　After all, Ritsu Haga's appearance was simply too outstanding.

　Many girls mustered up the courage to add Yuga Ritsu as a friend, but he politely declined them all.

　Because they don't suit Yuga Ritsu's taste, although it might be easy to win them over, that would be too low-class and unchallenging.

　But soon a girl sitting on a chair downstairs in the apartment building caught Ritsu Haga's attention.

　She had a pretty face and brown hair. Although she didn't look very old, she had a very peculiar temperament. However, she was currently looking down slightly, as if she wasn't in a very good mood.

　Doesn't this give him the perfect opportunity to intervene?

　Seeing this, Yuga Ritsu strode towards her.

　The moment he walked over, Yuga Ritsu asked, "Did you forget to bring your house key?"

　Upon hearing Yuga Ritsu's voice, the girl subconsciously looked up at him, and her breath caught in her throat for a moment when she saw his handsome face.

　She quickly turned her head away and lowered it, saying softly, "No."

　"Then why are you sitting here, and why do you look unhappy?"

　As he spoke, Yuga Ritsu casually sat down next to the girl.

　"No, I'm just waiting for my mom to come home," the girl whispered to Yuga Ritsu.

　Yuga Ritsu nodded as if he understood, then revealed his true intentions by asking, "So, what's your name?"

　When asked her name by Yuga Ritsu, the girl did not answer immediately. Instead, she hesitated for a moment before telling Yuga Ritsu her name.

　“Ichinose… no… my name is Nagasaki Motoyo.”

　Chapter 31 I need you

　"Ichinose?" Ritsu Haga asked instinctively.

　“Because…that used to be my surname, so subconsciously…” Nagasaki Motoyo lowered her head slightly and didn’t continue.

　But actually, at this point, Ritsu Haga could already glean some insight into the somewhat complicated family relationships of Motoyo Nagasaki from her few words.

　It's likely that Nagasaki Motoyo's parents are divorced, otherwise she wouldn't have said that.

　However, Ritsu Haga wasn't there to check his household registration; his current purpose was simply to get to know Motoyo Nagasaki and, at the same time, to build a closer relationship between the two.

　That's just to make it easier for the subsequent strategy guides to unfold.

　"My name is Yuhe Ritsu. May I call you Su Shi?"

　Haga Ritsu's words came out like a machine gun, catching Nagasaki Motoyo off guard.

　When Haga Ritsu asked if he could change the way he was addressed, Nagasaki Motoyo looked at him with some surprise.

　Because Ritsu Haga is not a genuine Japanese person, he has no idea about things like girls' names, which are only used between very close friends.

　Yuga Ritsu immediately changed his form of address to someone familiar with him, which could be considered a tactic in his approach to winning over the two of them.

　Faced with Haga Ritsu's radiant expression, Nagasaki Motoyo was somewhat annoyed by the boy's behavior, but she couldn't bring herself to say anything to refuse him.

　"Hmm." Nagasaki Motoyo nodded slightly, indicating her stance.

　"So why is Suze sitting here? If she's just waiting for her mother to come home, she could have waited at home, right?" Haga Ritsu asked Nagasaki Suze, puzzled.

　Hearing Haga Ritsu's blunt words, Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't help but feel somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

　After all, Yuga Ritsu's enthusiasm was really hard for her to handle, and she didn't understand why Yuga Ritsu liked to ask so many questions.

　Despite the urge to refuse, Nagasaki Motoyo had long wanted to find someone to vent her emotions to.

　The sudden appearance of Haga Ritsu, who was also very outgoing, made him undoubtedly the best target for Nagasaki Motoyo.

　After hesitating for a long time, Nagasaki Motoyo took a deep breath and then began to tell her story.

　Perhaps because she had started talking and vented her frustrations, Nagasaki Motoyo seemed to have opened a floodgate of words and began to talk incessantly.

　Haga Ritsu did not disturb Nagasaki Motoyo, but silently listened to what Nagasaki Motoyo had to say.

　After listening for a while, Ritsu Haga finally understood why Motoyo Nagasaki was sitting outside at this time, instead of waiting for her mother at home.

　Motoyo Nagasaki grew up in an environment where her parents had a very bad relationship and they argued almost all the time.

　Motoyo Nagasaki's parents finally divorced a year ago, and Motoyo Nagasaki chose to live with her mother.

　Perhaps because she was raising the child alone, the pressure increased dramatically, and Nagasaki Motoyo's mother was extremely busy, resulting in Nagasaki Motoyo not seeing her mother for very long each day.

　Over time, Nagasaki Motoyo noticed that her mother's home visits were becoming shorter and shorter. She wondered if her mother no longer needed her, or if she was no longer useful.

　This pessimistic mood spread quickly, making even the young Nagasaki Motoyo feel suffocated.

　In order not to be abandoned by her mother, and also to make her mother feel that she still has value and is needed.

　Nagasaki Motoyo goes home early every day to finish her homework and doesn't run around. While others are out playing with their friends, Nagasaki Motoyo stays quietly at home waiting for her mother to come home.

　As a result, Nagasaki Motoyo also developed excellent cooking skills.

　Even so, Nagasaki Motoyo still felt uneasy, so she simply stopped waiting at home.

　Instead, she chose to sit on a chair at the entrance of the apartment and wait for her mother to come home, so that her mother could see her the moment she got home.

　This has been going on for a month now, and when Nagasaki Motoyo sits here, almost no one comes up to ask her why she's sitting here.

　This was the first time for Haga Ritsu, which surprised even Nagasaki Motoyo herself.

　“I’m just afraid of not being needed by my mother anymore,” Nagasaki Motoyo said with a somber expression.

　Yuga Ritsu could almost feel a surge of almost tangible resentment emanating from Nagasaki Motoyo.

　Seeing Nagasaki Motoyo's dejected mood, Haga Ritsu first sighed slightly about Nagasaki Motoyo's family, and then couldn't help but think to himself that this really was a good time for him to intervene.

　After all, didn't Nagasaki Motoyo say she was afraid of not being needed? So why doesn't he just become the one who needs Nagasaki Motoyo?

　Everyone got what they wanted; he wanted points and Nagasaki Motoyo's people, while Nagasaki Motoyo only needed him.

　Simply perfect.

　Yuga Ritsu nodded silently, secretly praising his plan as perfect.

　After clearing his throat slightly, Yuga Ritsu spoke very directly: "Not needed? I don't think so."

　"Hmm?" Nagasaki Motoyo looked at Haga Ritsu with a puzzled expression.

　“I want to make you my friend in the future,” Yuga Ritsu said with a smile.

　Upon hearing Yuga Ritsu's words, Nagasaki Motoyo was stunned for a moment before looking at Yuga Ritsu with some disbelief.

　"That's a lie, isn't it?" Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't help but say.

　After all, in Nagasaki Motoyo's view

Chapter 86

　Does someone as sunny and cheerful as Ritsu Haga really need someone like her as a friend?

　Nagasaki Motoyo fell into deep self-doubt. After all, having grown up in that kind of family environment, Nagasaki Motoyo actually didn't have much self-confidence.

　“I’m not kidding.” Yuga Ritsu shook his head.

　“But someone like me…” Nagasaki Motoyo paused for a moment before continuing, “…would someone like me really be needed?”

　"Of course!" Yuga Ritsu said matter-of-factly.

　"but……"

　"You want to be friends with Nagasaki Motoyo, but because of your own repression, Nagasaki Motoyo doesn't believe you at all, nor does she believe that you genuinely want to be her friend."

　"Option 1: Firmly tell Nagasaki Motoyo that you are her friend, until she believes you. (100000 yen)"

　"Route Two: Since words can't convey your sincerity to Nagasaki Motoyo, then prove it with actions. Embrace Nagasaki Motoyo. (100000 yen)"

　Yuga Ritsu glanced at it and immediately chose Route Two, since he could now see that words alone could not sway Nagasaki Motoyo.

　In that case, let's let actions speak for themselves.

　Nagasaki Motoyo wanted to say something more, but before she could finish, she was interrupted by Haga Ritsu.

　"Now you'll believe me, right?"

　Ritsu Haga reached out and hugged Motoyo Nagasaki, who was standing to one side.

　"Eh!"

　Suddenly embraced, Nagasaki Motoyo felt the sun-like scent emanating from Haga Ritsu, and her heart calmed down.

　"Can you feel my sincerity? I don't lie." Yuga Ritsu hugged Nagasaki Motoyo tightly.

　Since Nagasaki Motoyo doesn't believe him, he might as well prove it with his actions.

　Hearing Yuga Ritsu's words ring in his ears, and pressing himself against Yuga Ritsu's chest, listening to Yuga Ritsu's pounding heartbeat.

　"Am I really needed?" Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't help but think, "So this is what it feels like to be needed."

　For some reason, Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly had an impulse to live like this forever.

　But soon, out of the corner of her eye, Nagasaki Motoyo noticed that the pedestrians around them were pointing and whispering about the two of them embracing, and Nagasaki Motoyo immediately came to her senses.

　In an instant, the girl's reserve regained its advantage, and Nagasaki Motoyo, feeling somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, reached out and pressed her hand on Haga Ritsu's chest, pushing him away.

　Despite being pushed away by Nagasaki Motoyo, Haga Ritsu still wore that gentle, warm smile, seemingly unperturbed by Nagasaki Motoyo's actions.

　Looking at Haga Ritsu, Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly calmed down again, and couldn't help but recall Haga Ritsu's words just now.

　Are we really friends?

　Nagasaki Motoyo looked at Haga Ritsu with anticipation in her eyes, perhaps wanting to hear those words from Haga Ritsu's mouth once again.

　“Of course, we are friends, and I want you to become my friend.” Yuga Ritsu nodded.

　Upon hearing Yuga Ritsu's words, Nagasaki Motoyo felt her heart pounding faster than ever before, and an unprecedented emotion began to stir within her.

　"Oh dear, it's getting late, I should go home."

　Yuga Ritsu suddenly raised his hand and glanced at the watch that Yukinoshita Haruno had bought for him, then stood up.

　Seeing Haga Ritsu stand up, Nagasaki Motoyo also stood up.

　"Um, will we ever meet again?" Nagasaki Motoyo asked reluctantly.

　"Of course, see you tomorrow."

　With that, Haga Ritsu turned and left without looking back, leaving Nagasaki Motoyo standing there alone.

　Watching Haga Ritsu's retreating figure, Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't help but murmur to herself.

　"Tomorrow?"

　For the first time, Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly began to look forward to tomorrow.
