In crossover anime, who isn't a childhood friend?

He sensed something was wrong and walked over directly.

Several caterpillars were placed on the surface of the small leather shoes under the snow in the shoe cabinet.

The colorful, wriggling appearance was so unsettling that even he, let alone a young girl, found it somewhat repulsive.

He felt quite helpless; some people are just so despicable.

He turned to look at Xuexia, his eyes holding a half-smile. "Is this what you mean by being able to solve it yourself?"

Yukino pursed her lips and stubbornly remained silent, preparing to find tools to pick out the caterpillars.

Yuan Qianye stopped her, took out a tissue, wrapped the caterpillar in it, and took it out: "I forgot my math book in class, can you go and get it for me?"

Yukino looked into his eyes: "Why don't you go by yourself?"

Yuan Qianye clutched her stomach as she walked back, saying, "My stomach suddenly hurts so much, I need to go to the toilet. You wait for me here."

Without waiting for Yukino's response, he turned and walked back.

Three boys who were peeking around the corner met his gaze, and his smug expression slowly froze.

A few people who instinctively sensed something was wrong turned around and ran back to their class.

With a cold expression, Yuan Qianye quickened his pace and followed behind them to Class 1, Grade 1.

He slammed the door shut as soon as he entered the classroom, making a loud "bang"!

It was shortly after school ended, and the few unrelated students who remained in the classroom were all frightened by him.

A petite girl with pigtails looked frightened and slowly hugged her schoolbag tightly.

She had already stood up, but now she's sitting down again.

She wanted to leave, but the strange boy who suddenly barged in looked so scary that she didn't dare to go.

With a clear objective, Yuan Qianye went straight for the guilty trio, walking over and kicking one of them to the ground.

The other two, one realized what was happening and tried to fight back, while the other tried to escape.

But they all couldn't escape the same fate, and in just a few short exchanges, they were all defeated and kicked to the ground.

He crouched down, grabbed one of the men by the collar, and deliberately asked, "Who's the ringleader?"

The boy, trembling uncontrollably, betrayed his companion without hesitation: "It's...it's Ishida..."

Yuan Qianye let go of him and went to the boy with the spiky hair who had been pointed at.

After all, he was still a first-grade elementary school student. After witnessing Yuan Qianye's "explosive fighting power" performance just now...

His face was filled with fear as if he had seen a ghost, and he choked up and cried out timidly, completely unable to muster any will to resist.

"Crying won't help. The person you bullied and teased feels the same way you do right now."

"I'm...I'm sorry..."

Yuan Qianye ignored his apology, pulled open his collar, and stuffed the tissue containing the caterpillar's corpse inside.

"If this kind of thing appears next to Yukino again, I won't leave it here when I return it to you."

Yuan Qianye patted his face and stood up.

"Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother everyone."

He gave the other students in the class an apologetic smile.

When he left and closed the classroom door, the force was completely different from when he came in—a gentle touch.

The little girl with pigtails stared blankly in the direction where Yuan Qianye had left, then looked at the three classmates who were usually loud and boisterous in class but now looked like stray dogs.

She blinked her large, azure eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

In the corridor.

Yuan Qianye looked at his palm with great disdain.

Looking at it with the light, his palms were so bright they reflected light.

That bastard had oily skin, plus tears... he was really dirty!

I've run out of tissues that I brought with me today.

I'll start bringing two packs tomorrow...

Thinking this, he suddenly stopped.

Yukino Yukinoshita stood in front of him and handed him a handkerchief.

Yuan Qianye stared at the handkerchief she offered, still hesitating, until Yukinoshita raised an eyebrow, took a slow breath, and said, "I haven't used it today."

"I don't care about that, I'm just afraid of getting your handkerchief dirty..." As he said this, Yuan Qianye visibly breathed a sigh of relief and took the handkerchief to carefully wipe his right palm.

"I'll wash it clean and return it to you later."

"Um……"

The two walked side by side.

As she changed her shoes and walked out of the school gate, Yukinoshita said, "Don't do things like that again..."

She paused, then added, "...easily injured."

She thought Yuan Qianye would object, but to her surprise, he nodded obediently and said, "Okay, I understand."

But he added, "You have to promise me that if you encounter anything like this that bothers you in the future, you have to tell me."

Anyone who disturbs his studies is his enemy!

He's so eager to improve!

Yukinoshita, who had been holding back for a long time, said: "I can't possibly rely on you to solve everything."

Yuan Qianye pondered for a moment and felt that it made sense: "Then if you encounter this kind of trouble that you can't solve in the future, come to me for help."

His tone shifted to earnest: "You are a student, so you should prioritize your studies and not let these things interfere with your learning."

"..." Yukinoshita was quite speechless. When Minamoto Chiyo said this, her tone, full of lecturing, was just like her parents.

But because he himself is just a child, it always feels very incongruous to people.

Yukinoshita glanced at him sideways: "Don't worry about me, you'd better be careful yourself."

Yuan Qianye felt strange: "What's wrong with me?"

Yukino looked ahead and said, "During PE class, I saw you sleeping on your desk from the other side of the playground."

Yuan Qianye looked at her suspiciously: "Why are you looking at me instead of paying attention in PE class?"

Yukinoshita choked: "That was a coincidence! That's not the point... What I mean is, you're the one who needs to study hard."

Gen Chiya looked at her with a smile: "Yukino-kun, haven't you realized why I can sleep soundly in class?"

"what?"

"How about we have a competition to see who gets the total score for all subjects except physical education in this final exam?"

Yuan Qianye got playful. After being a child for so long, he had to find something fun to amuse himself.

Yukinoshita, with her serious demeanor, seems like a perfect candidate to kill time.

Letting her know that there are always people more capable than herself and that there is always something beyond her can inspire her to learn even more!

That's so true to me! A flawless approach!

Thinking of this, Yuan Qianye raised a finger and began to increase the stakes: "The loser has to grant the other party a request within their capabilities, how about that?"

Yukino looked at him, equally confident: "Are you serious?"

She considers her only weakness to be sports, since her physical fitness isn't very good.

If you were to compete with her in regular elementary school subjects, she wouldn't think that she, with her intelligence, would lose to any of her peers.

"Of course I'm serious."

"I won't hold back."

"You don't need to hold back. Just compete fairly and give it your all."

"I understand."

"Then let's agree on this."

"Ah."

Yukinoshita reached out, clenched her fist, and gently touched it with Minamoto Chiya's.

She was now confident of victory and began to plan what demands she should make to Yuan Qianye.

I even started to look forward to the day of the final exam.

…………

010: The Dark History of Those Years

Lunch break.

The school rooftop.

Gen Chiya asked Yukinoshita, who had tasted his bento, "How did it taste?"

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded, praising subtly: "For a boy's cooking skills, it's passable."

Yuan Qianye smiled: "Is that so? How does that compare to you?"

“I previously attended a parent-child cooking class with my mother, and the professional instructor who had worked at a two-Michelin-starred restaurant praised my amazing culinary talent.”

At this point, Yukino Yukinoshita seemed quite pleased with herself, gently tossing her long hair.

"That happened when I was in kindergarten. You can try my cooking skills sometime in the future."

"Is that so? Let's talk about it when we have the chance." Yuan Qianye secretly wanted to laugh.

So arrogant at such a young age.
