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

In short, she did not react to the rumor at all.

In their daily interactions, the two of them continued to treat each other as before.

The last class of the morning has ended.

Yuan Qianye calmly packed away his books.

Seeing from God's perspective that Class 1's class had ended late and that Yukinoshita had walked out of the classroom, he then stood up.

They walked out of the teaching building together and headed towards the shady spot next to the playground.

It's October now, and the temperature is very high.

Eating together in class is noisy with people around, and the rooftop is too hot with no shade. This is the only place that's suitable for passing the time during lunch break.

Approaching the familiar spot, Gen Chiya stopped, and Yukinoshita frowned as she saw the scene before her.

A male and a female student sat on a chair with their heads down.

Several students who looked like members of a sports club stood in front of them, speaking loudly and laughing sarcastically.

"Wow! What is this? Magical Girl Momo-chan! There are actually people who read this kind of comic, how funny, and they even brought it to school!"

"I thought people who liked this kind of stuff were all those gloomy, middle-aged shut-ins. I never expected you guys to watch this! Are you going to be shut-ins from now on too?"

"It's disgusting! Look, the main character even wears sexy lingerie when he transforms!"

"It's not underwear!" The boy who had been mocked finally stood up and argued, "That's the armor that Momo-chan naturally generates when she transforms! She needs it to fight monsters and protect the world! So she doesn't get hurt!"

"..." The girl next to him lowered her head even further at this moment.

"Pfft... Hahaha! That's outrageous!"

"That's outrageous! How could anyone actually say something so shameful!"

"Enough with the shut-ins. Can't we just watch this kind of stuff at home?"

"Get out of here! Stay away from people like that. Once you're tainted by that 'homebody' smell, you'll never be able to get rid of it!"

Those men laughed loudly and ran away.

The boy who had been mocked bent down with a sullen expression and picked up the comic book and related cards that had fallen to the ground.

The girl lowered her head and rushed out.

"Eri-ri!" the boy said anxiously, but he was still a beat too late.

After hurriedly packing his things, he finally caught up with them.

After watching them run away, Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Chiya Minamoto and said, "Those two classmates are in my class. The boy is named Tomoya Aki and the girl is named Eriri Sawamura Spencer. They both seem to like manga, anime and other ACG-related content."

She paused, then continued, "They used to discuss these things in class quite often. An Yi would occasionally shout excitedly, but since it was during free time, no one said anything about it."

But for some reason, after moving up to the third grade, these mocking voices gradually started to appear in the class, though not as severe as they were just now…”

As she spoke, her expression suddenly turned suspicious.

She looked at Yuan Qianye, her tone somewhat uncertain: "...Are you...laughing?"

"Huh?" Yuan Qianli stared at the departing golden exclamation mark, quickly suppressing the out-of-control expression on his face: "How could that be? You must have seen it wrong."

No wonder Gen Chiya lost his composure like that.

Three years!

It's been a full three years!

After Yukino Yukinoshita and Ai Hayasaka.

He finally saw a colored exclamation mark again!

In fact, in recent years he has intermittently carried out several very important missions that involved life and death.

For example, he used a rope to pull up a passerby who had choked on water while rescuing a dog, called on others to help pull back an uncle who wanted to jump onto the tracks to commit suicide, and called the police to stop a home invasion robbery.

But without exception, all of these tasks are marked with a white exclamation mark.

Yuan Qianye had reason to suspect that it might be because of those well-known anime protagonists.

They embody vague concepts like the will of the world and the protagonist's halo.

That's why the exclamation marks they display have a different color.

Of course, based on the previous two experiences.

It's highly likely that the rewards for completing the task will be even better!

Yuan Qianye stepped forward and picked up an anime badge that had fallen to the ground: "No matter when, there will always be these annoying guys."

Yukino Yukinoshita's little face was full of displeasure: "The worst kind of person is one who satisfies their own vulgar emotions by hurting others!"

Gen Chiya: "?"

Now that you've said that, it'll be very difficult for me to bring up your embarrassing videos to make fun of you in the future.

She took a deep breath and slowly calmed herself down.

What she had just witnessed reminded her of a similar experience she had gone through.

She was helped out several times by the boys around her, which allowed her to escape from the embarrassing muddy ground.

It is precisely because I have personally experienced it that I can empathize so deeply.

Now, she also wants to pass on the kindness she received from Gen Chiya to others.

This feeling surged intensely within me!

"Are you hungry right now?" Yuan Qianye suddenly asked.

Yukino didn't understand what he meant, but she still answered, "I'm not hungry."

“Then let’s have dinner together later. Let’s go after her first. I want to help her…” Yuan Qianye’s expression was subtle. This time, it was his turn to be puzzled: “…Why are you suddenly laughing?”

"It's alright, let's go quickly." Yukinoshita said, and walked towards the school building that Aki Tomoya had just chased after.

"Wait a minute." Gen Chiyo called out to Yukino, pointing towards the sports storage area: "It's this way."

Tomoya Aki is a bit of a handful; he's chasing after people without ever figuring out which way to go.

But thinking about it, it seems normal, after all, he was wearing such an obvious pair of black-rimmed glasses.

With a god-like perspective, Gen Chiya quickly located Sawamura Eriri hiding behind the warehouse.

She crouched in a small corner, her body shrunk to a tiny size, her shoulders trembling slightly, and she occasionally inhaled through her small nose, letting out delicate and pitiful sobs.

Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't bear to see this, so she reached into her pocket to take out a handkerchief.

Yuan Qianye, who had prepared in advance on the way, stepped forward first, half-squatting in front of her and handing her a tissue.

…………

012: The game experience under the snow is lacking.

Eriri Sawamura was feeling down.

The mocking words of those people were like sharp thorns, easily piercing her already fragile self-esteem and sinking deep into her heart.

She was a sensitive and taciturn girl, and in that situation, she instinctively chose to escape.

Hiding in a secluded corner of the school where no one could see her, all those sad and negative emotions were released along with her tears.

It would be better if they didn't bring comic book merchandise to school.

It would be better if we didn't talk about those topics in public.

If only I hadn't fallen in love with these things in the first place...

Thoughts skewed by the attacks and ridicule of others are slowly plummeting into the deepest, darkest abyss.

Just then, a hand carrying light and warmth reached out towards her.

"Excuse me, are you alright?"

"..."

Eriri Sawamura stared in surprise at the person in front of her.

For a moment, she even forgot to react to his gesture of handing her a tissue.

She recognized the person in front of her.

It's safe to say that there's practically no one in the entire grade who doesn't know him!

He is handsome, athletic, and intelligent, and has won the top spot in his grade for two consecutive years.

Why would someone as outstanding as Yuan...

"...Classmate, wipe your tears first."

Yuan Qianye spoke again in a gentle tone.

"what!"

After realizing what was happening, Eriri Sawamura opened her small mouth, which was barely big enough to fit an egg in, and made a cute sound of surprise.

Yuan Qianye was amused by her reaction and couldn't help but laugh.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't smile, but when he does, his charm is three times greater than that of his peers.

This caused Eriri Sawamura, who had finally come to her senses, to fall into another slightly dazed state.

Before any physical contact has occurred, the mind is briefly pulled from a negative state to another extreme.

Everyone laughs, but Minamoto Chiyo's laugh is particularly different in Sawamura Eriri's eyes!

He's just like those male protagonists in women's comics!

A slight smile creates a warm background light behind him, and flowers bloom instantly from nowhere, as if the whole world is willing to be his backdrop!

Seeing that he had failed to elicit a response from Sawamura Eriri after speaking twice, Minamoto Chiya simply assumed that she was overly heartbroken and didn't take it too seriously.

The tissue handed over was immediately used to wipe away the tears on her face.

Eriri Sawamura realized what had happened the instant she felt the touch on her face.
