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

Considering his abilities, that makes sense...

After being reminded of this, those who were too immersed in the role felt a little better.

Aside from Rikka simply making sarcastic remarks, no one realized that they not only viewed Minamoto Chiya as a husband, but also identified with another important character in this short story.

Saeko Busujima became interested and gently clasped her hands together: "Ah, I've thought of something very interesting. May I tell you about it?"

Everyone else nodded.

After writing down the answer, she began to reveal the riddle with a warm smile: "An old man living alone died at home. When the police arrived, they found that his body was mutilated and covered with bite marks. The stray cats and dogs he kept had also died."

Okay, everyone, you can guess what's going on here~

The other four girls present felt a little uneasy.

I don't quite understand how Saeko, with her gentle and kind personality, could tell such a terrifying story while smiling.

Is there such a big difference between her when she's playing games and her everyday life?

Having witnessed Saeko's true nature, Chiya Minamoto remained completely unaffected: "Did the old man commit suicide?"

No, that's not it.

Once he took the lead, the others gradually realized what was happening and joined in as well.

Eriri: "Was it a stray cat or dog that went crazy and bit the old man to death?"

No, that's not it.

Yukino: "Did the stray cats and dogs die because they ate the old man's body?"

"Yes."

Kasumigaoka: "Was the old man poisoned?"

"Yes."

Yukino: "Was the old man killed by someone close to him?"

"Yes!"

As the game progressed, Saeko Busujima seemed happier after answering multiple times.

Yuan Qianye did not use the God's perspective during this game.

However, based on the clues that had appeared earlier, he realized something before Yukino and Utaha did.

Was the old man killed by his neighbor?

"Yes."

The answer seems obvious at this point.

Yukino, Kasumigaoka, and Chiya all shared their guesses.

Saeko Busujima reveals the answer.

[A neighbor, annoyed by the noise of the elderly man's cats and dogs, gave him meat laced with poison, saying it was no longer fresh and unfit for human consumption, but safe for the cats and dogs. The elderly man took it home but couldn't bear to eat it himself, resulting in his death from the poisoning. The hungry cats and dogs then ate the elderly man's body and all died.]

"It was Qianye who guessed closest."

"Luck, luck."

Saeko Busujima announced the winner, and Chiya Minamoto even smiled and high-fived her in celebration.

The other four girls didn't know what to say at that moment.

I just feel that these two are about the same in terms of their perverse sense of humor.

Yukino, in particular, had very mixed feelings.

Because she loves cats, she knows rationally that it's very possible for a cat to eat its owner when it's hungry, and there are many such cases, but emotionally she still finds it hard to accept.

In the later game segments, the gory and cruel style was gradually brought back.

Kasumigaoka and Yukinoshita, who had been secretly holding back their energy, were finally able to have a proper showdown.

In the end, it can only be said that the two of them were evenly matched in terms of strength. They both guessed about the same riddle correctly, and neither of them could gain a clear advantage over the other.

However, putting aside all the behind-the-scenes scheming, everyone actually had a great time tonight.

Around 10 o'clock, it was time to leave.

Like everyone else, Kasumigaoka had already gotten up and come to the entrance to put on her shoes and say goodbye.

However, Yukino reminded her, "Kasumigaoka-kun, is it alright for you not to put on your pantyhose?"

Kasumigaoka gritted her teeth and scoffed inwardly, inwardly grumbling about Yukino's meddling.

But outwardly, she pretended to be confused, lightly patted her head, and then laughed and said, "I knew my legs felt cold."

There was nothing I could do but go back to the living room and put the pantyhose I had originally planned to keep back on.

The group left one by one.

"I had a really fun day today. I hope we can all get together sometime and have even more fun all day long." Rikka returned to the living room with her hands behind her back and started tidying up the living room with her older brother.

Gen Chiya took the trash can from Rikka and gestured for her not to help: "It's late, you should go wash up and go to bed early."

"Qianye, what about you?"

"Of course, I'll wash after you."

Did my sister say when she'd be back tonight?

"It's a holiday today, so the shop is very busy. She'll wait for her parents to close the shop before they come back together."

"I see..."

"what happened?"

After finishing her work, Gen Chiya helplessly turned her gaze to Rikka, who had her hands behind her back and was rubbing her calves together awkwardly.

She clearly had something to say.

Yuan Qianye had already made up his mind.

If she wanted to take advantage of Shihua's absence to beg me to let her stay up all night watching melodramatic dramas or playing games.

That must be a cold and ruthless rejection without a second thought!

Several times before, he had been implicated and reprimanded by Shihua because of this.

Shihua was so angry that she blurted out things like "If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too," which are not appropriate for disciplining her younger siblings.

But this time, Rikka didn't continue being so unreliable. After some internal struggle, she raised her head and timidly asked, "Chiya... can you sleep with me tonight?"

What kind of taboo way of unfolding is this?

Yuan Qianye remained silent for a few seconds, but only made a self-amusing comment in his mind.

Looking at Rikka's current state, he could tell that the girl had absolutely no intention of having that kind of relationship.

"Afraid?"

"..."

Rikka remained silent, but slowly nodded.

She felt she needed to explain: "It's all your fault for making such scary claims with Saeko-nee, like wives being killed by thugs, elderly people living alone being poisoned, or being eaten by pets. Thinking about it makes me feel uneasy! Not to mention the strong wind outside tonight, howling and howling, it just feels even more terrifying!"

Gen Chiyo looked at Rikka and sighed helplessly, but he did feel a sense of fulfillment in being needed. He patted her head and said, "I understand. I'll go to your room after I take a shower and wait until you fall asleep, okay?"

"No, we can only wait until my sister comes back. I'll still be scared if I wake up in the middle of it!" Now that things were out in the open, Rikka was even more fearless.

"Okay, okay, go wash up."

Still the old saying.

We only have one child in the family, so who else should we spoil if not her?

With the negotiations concluded, Rikka felt relieved and happily went to take a bath.

Forty minutes later, Gen Chiya emerged from her bath and entered the sisters' room.

An orange lamp was lit in the room, and the sweet scent unique to girls could be smelled as soon as you entered. The small curtain in the middle of the room, which was used to separate the sisters and ensure their privacy, had already been pulled open by Rikka.

When Chiya entered, Rikka was still scrolling through her phone. As soon as she saw him, she immediately plugged her phone in to charge.

Yuan Qianye sat down at the desk.

"Aren't you going to sleep in your sister's bed? It's okay, she definitely won't mind."

Go sleep in Shihua's bed, covered with a blanket that smells like her?

What's the difference between that and her holding him?

Does he still want to get a good night's sleep tonight?

Yuan Qianye didn't say much, nor could he explain anything to Liuhua. He simply shook his head and said, "I'll just read for a while. You go to sleep. Goodnight."

"Okay then, goodnight."

Rikka yawned softly, adjusted her pillow to a comfortable position, turned her back, and closed her eyes.

Around 3 a.m., the three people who were working outside returned home.

Upon hearing Chiyo's explanation, Toka glanced speechlessly at her sleeping younger sister: "To be scared over something like this? She's just a kindergarten kid..."

Everyone has things they're not good at.

"Alright, thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to me. You can go back to your room and rest."

"kindness."

It's really late. At this time, the breakfast shop owner has probably already cooked the first pot of porridge to serve customers.

Yuan Qianye returned to her room and fell asleep shortly afterward.

But he was soon awakened by the situation in his dream.

It wasn't a nightmare, but he had experienced similar things many times, and now he had mastered a set of effective methods to pull back from the brink.

The good news is that the main character in this dream has finally changed.

The intriguing thing is that the number of people replaced at once is far too many.
