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

When others saw the above content, except for one person who was pretending to be knowledgeable, the expressions on their faces were generally quite interesting.

Everyone turned to look at Yuan Qianye himself.

Rikka was surprised, and then she showed the same smile as Anya. She thought to herself, "As expected of my brother, he either doesn't make a move at all, or he takes them all down in one fell swoop. He's both clever and ruthless!"

Eriri and Utaha both appeared shy, their legs slightly together under the stove, gently rubbing against each other.

Saeko found it quite unbelievable, but her eyes showed amusement. She readily accepted the offer and was somewhat looking forward to how things would develop.

As for Yukino, the way she looked at Minamoto no Chiya was like looking at the most filthy garbage, or like ice in the dead of winter, as if it could freeze a person solid.

Yuan Qianye was quite helpless about this: "Even if I said now that I didn't write this punishment content, you probably wouldn't believe me, right?"

Only Liu Hua answered him cheerfully, "Yes, I believe it wasn't you who wrote it, Qianye!"

But your smile clearly didn't seem like you believed me.

Forget it...

Yuan Qianye didn't care anymore: "Alright, I don't want to prove anything anymore. The innocent are innocent, and I have a clear conscience. Who wants to go first?"

The content displayed on the punishment card on the table at this moment is—

He personally removed everyone's socks from the room.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Who wants to go first?

After Yuan Qianye inquired...

No one else present answered him.

Only Rikka was surprised by her older brother's courage: "Chiya... you're not really planning to take your clothes off... to do this punishment, are you?"

Yuan Qianye pushed the question back: "If you think this punishment is inappropriate, you can choose not to carry it out. Rather, it's a good thing for me, since I can skip the punishment."

“I don’t think this punishment is appropriate,” Yukino said, explaining her reasons: “After all, we agreed from the beginning that there should be limits to punishment, but taking off clothes… this punishment has clearly crossed those limits, hasn’t it?”

Unfortunately, no one answered her.

Even Eriri, who had the best relationship with Eriri and the longest friendship with her, only opened her mouth slightly, but couldn't say a word.

"B-Everyone?" Yukino's expression was one of utter disbelief.

She finally looked to Rikka for help.

Rikka stuck her tongue out at Yukino apologetically.

As for her... although she has a good relationship with Yukino Eriri and the others.

But if we really have to talk about it, she'll definitely unconditionally support her own Onii-chan!

"I think... it's just taking off socks, it's not really that serious as crossing the line... it's just a game, the most important thing is that everyone has fun."

Kasumigaoka then weakly uttered its own voice.

Eriri actually disliked her, but at this moment, thinking about what was about to happen, she couldn't help but want to agree with her.

Saeko Busujima nodded as well.

Rikka then thoughtfully said, "Yukino, if you really can't get over it, it's okay to take off your socks yourself."

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

Yukino took a deep breath: "The rules have already been set. Since everyone agrees, I naturally won't make any exceptions. Let's just follow the rules."

Yuan Qianye looked at her and said, "You don't need to push yourself too hard."

"I do not have……"

But now you don't even dare to look me in the eye when you talk to me.

Yuan Qianye was helpless.

"Alright, let's finish this quickly, Qianye. I'll start with you."

Rikka was the most relaxed and at ease among the women present.

After all, she and Qianye often joked around at home and had physical contact countless times, so taking off socks was nothing to worry about.

Rikka is not Touka, and Gen Chiyo didn't have any special feelings towards her. He naturally reached for her pink socks and took them off.

I must say, Rikka's little feet are pink and tender, chubby and small, just as cute as she is.

Next up was Eriri. Like Shiha, she went straight from her own house to the Gen family's house by taxi.

So when it came to clothing, I only considered looking good and didn't think about keeping warm, since I didn't plan to stay outside for very long anyway.

So today's outfit is rather simple, just a long-sleeved shirt, a sleeveless sweater, and a skirt.

As for the socks she was wearing, they were black over-the-knee socks.

When Yuan Qianye took her socks off her legs, the marks left by the sock tops on her thighs were visible.

"Woo~"

When Eriri felt Chiya making a move on her, the sensation on her leg made her unable to help but let out a suggestive moan.

Minamoto Chiya wanted to end the game quickly, so he acted swiftly and didn't give Eriri much time to savor the experience.

The next one after her was Yukino.

Like Saeko Busujima, Yukino was wearing a fitted milk-colored dress and short white socks today.

When Yuan Qianye half-squatted down and placed his hand near her feet, she closed her eyes in embarrassment.

Fortunately, the process was quick, and he didn't do anything else extra.

When it was Kasumigaoka Utaha's turn, he was a little stumped.

Shiyu... she was wearing pantyhose.

There's no way to take this off without reaching under her skirt.

"Um... I'm a little shy... Chiya-kun, please be gentle when you make your move..."

As Shiyu slowly stood up, Yuan Qianye narrowed his eyes.

He felt as if he had found the "culprit".

At the same time, Yukino and Saeko also vaguely noticed something.

"I object!" Yukino, whose redness had gradually cooled down, spoke again: "Kasumigaoka-san's situation has clearly crossed the line. Even in a school in the open-minded Takakuni, such a situation would not be allowed to happen."

Eriri finally realized what was happening and immediately chimed in, "Yeah, regular socks are fine... but pantyhose! That's... really weird!"

Saeko Busujima had no choice but to nod: "That's true."

Of the six people present, three voiced their opposition.

Kasumigaoka had anticipated that things wouldn't go so smoothly, so she quickly pretended to be just realizing what was happening.

Then he crawled his lower body into the stove, put his hands under his skirt and moved them around, finally revealing his legs, which were already down to his knees, with his pantyhose pulled down to his knees.

"Like Yukino, I believe that you have to follow the rules when playing games, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

Although problems still exist, they are certainly not as acute and unacceptable as they were at the beginning.

No one else said anything.

Yuan Qianye can get started quickly.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he always felt that Shiyu's socks were a bit warmer than others'.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to make sense... after all... pantyhose are a type of clothing.

In certain places, people tend to get closer to areas with higher body temperatures.

Finally, there is Saeko.

"I'm sorry, Chiya-kun, I'm a little shy."

"Ah, it's okay, you don't need to..."

“That’s not what I meant. I just feel a little embarrassed if you see it, so could you please put your hand inside the stove? That way, it won’t be considered that I’m breaking the rules.”

Saeko Busujima said this.

That's certainly not a problem.

There's only one person left.

Yuan Qianye groped his way into the stove.

His movements paused for a moment because Saeko gently pinched his fingers with her toes.

He subtly tickled Saeko's foot in response.

This is a gesture that no other girl would make.

“Alright, so the King’s Game is over now,” said Yuan Qianye.

Saeko Busujima's smile was not much different from usual: "It's been a long time since I've had this much fun."

Kasumigaoka glanced at the time; it was a little past nine. "It's not too late yet. Is everyone going back?"

Eriri shook her head. After realizing that the "perverted" punishment sign from before was written by this woman in black stockings, how could she possibly leave before her!

The same applies to Yukino.

Rikka, still full of enthusiasm, asked everyone to stay and play a little longer.

Since that's the case, let's begin the last game we originally planned for tonight.

Turtle soup.

"Considering that some of you here haven't played the Turtle Soup game before, let me briefly explain the rules."
