Crossover Anime: Starting by defeating the Dragon King, then unexpectedly meeting a child.

Rio Futaba: "Your motives back then weren't entirely pure..."

"Well, that's true. I didn't expect you to have seen through me so early. At the time, I was bored because I didn't have many friends at school; and I was also attracted to her because she was so cute, with an alluring figure and an intellectual air about her."

Dongfang Chen openly admitted that, given their current relationship, accepting and tolerating each other is the most important thing.

Generally speaking, when you first like someone, you are attracted by their outward appearance, temperament, and figure.

When you become boyfriend and girlfriend, or even after marriage, you will discover each other's shortcomings. Whether two people can truly stay together in the end, accepting these previously unnoticed shortcomings is almost essential.

"Boys are all the same. When they look at girls, they always start with some external things."

She spoke calmly, showing no anger or dissatisfaction with Dongfang Chen's statement.

Dongfang Chen: "This can be considered a kind of human weakness! No matter what it is, we will always prioritize things that look pretty and pleasing to the eye. Maybe their actual function is not very important, but in the eyes of most people, as long as they look good, that's enough."

"That's undeniable. If you, Dongfang, were short, fat, and ugly, I probably wouldn't have given you the chance to get close to me."

"I'm so glad I have a good appearance in this life!"

"You know what happened next. You would come to see me almost every day and tell me about everyday trivialities. They might be very ordinary, but I found them quite interesting..."

Originally, I thought things would just stay this way. Until you invited me out a while ago, I was so happy, really happy, but also a little scared.

I'm probably not ready yet, whether it's taking our relationship to the next level or losing each other. Besides, can someone like me really have all of this so easily?

Dongfang Chen looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, I didn't consider your feelings, and I didn't give you enough security..."

Rio Futaba shook her head: "No, in the end, it's because of my own personality. So, last Saturday, I was scared and didn't dare to go as planned... But deep down, I really wanted to."

"So, this is the opportunity for the birth of another you. Your will has encountered a serious contradiction, and under the guidance of some unknown force, another you has emerged."

He gently patted the girl's head with a touch of tenderness.

“But the world only needs one Futaba Rio,” she said.

"The idea is good, but to be honest, even I don't know how to bring you two back together. And I don't really want you two to be together."

"Why? Just because she accepted your confession, and even... you held hands and kissed her, so you can't bear to let her go?"

"No, because in my eyes, both of you Futaba are real, and losing either of you is not what I want to see. It's like if the other one of you tricked me into disappearing, how could I choose?"

Upon hearing this, Rio Futaba lowered her head slightly, unsure of what to say.

If the other "she" is also herself, then their thoughts are likely the same, and perhaps the other also hopes that her original self will disappear.

"So, if possible, you can try to accept each other. For these 383 worlds, whether there are two or three central points, it won't really make any difference."

But for me, I hope both Rios can exist well in this world; for you, Rio, perhaps you're afraid she'll take everything you have now and replace you..."

After all, they are two identical beings. Perhaps their subjective consciousness differs, but in essence, they are the same person.

“Yes, I’m scared, scared that she will completely replace me,” she said dejectedly.

"Once you've adjusted, you two can find some time to have a proper talk! I respect your choice regarding what form it should take, whether it should be merged into one or coexisting."

He was also worried that Rio Futaba's main body would not be willing to coexist with her clone, but if the clone existed, it would put the main body under too much pressure, and ultimately a choice would have to be made.

"Yes, I'll think about it carefully."

Futaba Rio nodded.

Right now, she must be feeling very complicated and agitated, and has even lost her usual rationality.

Therefore, the best choice is to calm down and clearly identify your true inner desires.

After school in the afternoon, it was Class G of Grade 2.

"Hey, does Higashikata participate in any clubs?" Nakano Satsuki asked.

"No, I'm not really interested in those clubs. Why is that?"

Dongfang Chen shook his head. For him, joining a club was far less appealing than going home and being a couch potato.

Nakano Satsuki: "No, it's just that I see Higashikata always going home alone after school. I wonder if he gets bored or something."

"Are you saying I have no friends?" Dongfang Chen said speechlessly.

She quickly waved her hand: "No, no, I just wanted to ask if Dongfang wanted to go to the library together to review today's lessons."

At least in terms of her attitude towards learning, Nakano Satsuki is quite serious.

"I'm sorry, I have some things to take care of at home these next few days, so I need to go home early. I can go with you another time when I have more time."

There were two other people at home, Futaba Rio and Sora Ginko, and he was afraid they might suddenly start arguing.

"Okay, then I'll invite you to join me when Dongfang is done with her work! I'll be going now, goodbye~"

She waved dismissively, then slung her backpack over her shoulder and ran off quickly.

Watching Nakano Satsuki's retreating figure, he pondered for a moment, but couldn't glean any useful information.

……

He quickly returned home and opened the door: "I'm home!"

No one paid any attention to him, and the house seemed unusually quiet. He frowned slightly and quickly walked into the house.

Then he saw a rather harmonious scene.

Sora Ginko and Futaba Rio were actually sitting peacefully in front of a chessboard, playing chess...

Even Dongfang Chen couldn't quite grasp it at first. Who could be rivals in love and sit down together to play chess peacefully?

It shouldn't be a situation where both sides ignore each other, argue incessantly, or even come to blows.

Sora Ginko looked at him expressionlessly: "What are you standing there like an idiot looking at?"

"I just didn't expect to see this kind of scene."

He scratched his head, slightly embarrassed.

Sora Ginko snorted lightly: "I was just bored and saw her learning shogi, but her reaction was too slow, so I gave her a little pointers."

"I only realized how difficult shogi is after actually trying it. With Ms. Sora's guidance, I can now say that I can barely manage to play a little bit," Futaba Rio said calmly.

Futaba Rio thought that since Dongfang Chen was the Dragon King of the shogi world, if she also learned shogi, it would be a way to deepen her understanding of Dongfang Chen, and the two of them would have more to talk about.

"Yes, don't force yourself, take your time. Would you like something to eat or drink?" he asked.

Nothing could reassure him more than the fact that the two of them could sit together peacefully.

Kong Yinzi: "We're out of sauce, go buy some."

"Okay, what about Riyang?"

“I don’t need anything.” She shook her head slightly.

Rio Futaba is a girl who doesn't have high material needs.

"Okay, I'll go out again then. We're running low on ingredients."

He put down his schoolbag and then went out again.

However, he first went to a nearby mobile phone store to buy a smartphone for Futaba Rio before going to a convenience store to buy groceries.

After returning home, he went to the two of them and said, "I've already talked to the other Rio, but she's not very emotional right now and needs to calm down."

"Really? What do you think?" Rio Futaba looked at him.

Dongfang Chen: "I do hope that the two of you can get along well. After all, it's a bit like being a fool to make things difficult for yourself!"

When you're at odds with yourself, you'll likely develop some problems, and one of them might even disappear. But can the one who remains truly let go of the past?

Therefore, Dongfang Chen believes that the best solution is to enable them to accept each other.

If they were to become one because of this, this experience would definitely help Rio Futaba grow further in spirit, or at least make her more mature!

"That depends on her. After all, she is the original body, while I am just a part that was split off from her body."

A hint of reluctance appeared in Rio Futaba's eyes.

Existence is truth.

Although she only appeared for two or three days, she was still full of affection for this world.

"You two better watch yourselves, I'm still here!"

Kong Yinzi, feeling somewhat annoyed at being ignored, said.

Dongfang Chen looked at her: "Look, does Yinzi want to help too? Although all we can do now is wait..."

Sora Ginko: "I don't want to get involved in this kind of ridiculous event."

Dongfang Chen: "Just consider it an experience. Who knows, maybe one day the money will be in the same situation as it is now? Of course, it might be in a different form."

"I'm not that weak!" she said coldly.

Because her goal has always been clear: to compete against Dongfang Chen in an official match.

"Yes, yes, silver is the strongest." He chuckled.

"Click~"

Hinatsuru Ai: "I'm back~"

Yaksha God Ten'i: "Excuse me."
