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

The TV program is showing a variety show where the host is visiting a man who enjoys the blessings of having multiple wives and maintaining relationships with four women at the same time.

Rikka was engrossed in watching, and when she saw that Chiya had returned, she eagerly accepted the fruit tea he had brought back and invited him to come and watch with her.

"This guy is amazing! He's dating four women at the same time, living with them, and even having two kids with them. It's just incredible!"

Rikka's words were overheard by Toka, who was in the kitchen not far away, and she rolled her eyes at them in annoyance.

"What's so amazing about him? He's just a typical womanizer and frivolous guy. You should watch less of these boring variety shows."

"Boring~" Rikka stuck out her tongue.

Yuan Qianye merely glanced at the screen and did not join the conversation.

However, it did give him some inspiration and confidence.

This guy is unattractive, a bit greasy, not particularly capable, and a freeloader—a total gigolo. There's no reason why he can do it and I can't…

He casually asked, "Where's Mom?"

"I went to visit my neighbor, she should be back soon."

"Oh, does Toka need my help?"

"No need, you go take a shower first."

Yuan Qianye nodded and was about to turn and leave when he heard Shihua say, "By the way, you should be a little more careful about what you wear in the future."

"?" This left Yuan Qianye completely bewildered. "What's wrong with my clothes?"

At this moment, Rikka, who was sitting quietly on the sofa with a straw in her mouth, suddenly trembled and revealed an extremely guilty expression.

"Both of your coats had a button missing, but I've already sewed it back on for you. Just be careful next time." Shihua was chopping vegetables and didn't look over.

"...Oh, thank you for your help."

Although she didn't remember such a thing, Minamoto Chiya still gave this answer first.

He seemed to be deep in thought, his gaze slowly falling on Rikka, who had somehow become sitting upright.

He felt as if he had found the culprit.

As he smiled and put his arm around Rikka's shoulder, he could clearly feel Rikka's body tremble violently.

After gesturing for her to follow him to the second floor, Yuan Qianye lowered his eyes and stared at her as she played with her fingers: "Tell me, what naughty thing have you been secretly doing this time?"

"Really, how can you say it's a bad thing..."

Rikka wasn't too afraid of Chiya, so despite her nervousness, she told her the truth.

Yuan Qianye understood.

"Oh, so you mean because my fans wanted it, and you didn't think it was an unreasonable request, so you agreed and cut off the buttons from my coat and sent them to them."

This is a romantic saying that is widely circulated in Japan.

This usually happens around graduation time. It's said that if a girl can get the second button on her crush's uniform, the one closest to his heart, she will win his true love, marking the beginning of a romantic relationship and ensuring his eternal happiness...

"Uh-huh!"

"You're really honest. Couldn't you just buy a few buttons and send them to them? Why did you have to cut them off to give your sister something to do?"

"It's wrong to lie... especially to fans who like and support you so much, how could you fool them?"

"..."

Well, from a sincere point of view, that makes sense.

"Forget it, don't agree to things like that again. Don't you think it's weird?"

"Oh……"

Rikka gave a soft reply, but didn't leave.

Seeing her like this, Yuan Qianye's expression became subtle: "Are you still hiding something from me?"

"It's nothing, really just a small thing... Besides the buttons, I also gave you a few other things."

Yuan Qianye narrowed his eyes: "For example."

"Your tie...and a shirt, that's all I have!" Rikka raised her right hand as if to swear an oath.

"..." Yuan Qianye pinched the bridge of his nose, suddenly feeling that his blood pressure was a little high.

"We're all good people, it's just a tie, it's not a big deal, is it?"

"What kind of good person would go out of their way to ask for someone else's clothes, especially clothes that have been worn?"

"I didn't specifically ask for anything. She said anything was fine... so I opened your wardrobe and just picked something out of the blue..."

"And then you gave my shirt away, right? Do you know that makes me look like a pervert? If word gets out, I'll lose all my face. No way, I guess I still have to get Shika to deal with you." Yuan Qianye was furious.

Rikka immediately cried out, "No, I'm sorry, Onii-chan, Chiya-sama! I was wrong! Please don't tell my sister!"

Since my older sister quit the gymnastics club, I have had more time to study and do homework with her every day after school, and sometimes I even give her extra assignments.

I was already struggling, and if she found out I had done this again, I can only imagine what would happen to me!

Rikka, still crying, knelt upright, looking up at Minamoto Chiyo with pitiful eyes while pinching her ears with both hands.

Yuan Qianye kept a straight face.

Seeing that his reaction seemed to soften, Rikka gently tugged at his trouser leg again: "Onee-gai-onii-chan, please forgive me, I'll do anything I can!"

She's quite happy managing Qianye's personal account right now. Not only does she manage several large groups with thousands of members, but she also gets to collect gold coins from time to time. She really doesn't want to lose this source of joy!

As Chiyo watched Rikka hallucinate a famous scene before her eyes, she tried hard to suppress a laugh: "Anything?"

"Yes! Anything is fine!"

Yuan Qianye twisted his neck: "Speaking of which, I've been running around outside all day, and I'm a bit tired..."

"Let me give you a massage!"

"One month."

"One... okay!"

"You should press it every day."

"……Can!"

Nobody forced you.

"Of course, I did it voluntarily."

Yuan Qianye sighed: "Alright, this is the last time. In the future, think more about the consequences before you do anything."

Upon hearing this, Rikka knew the matter was over, and immediately stood up with a smile, eagerly leaning closer: "Okay, I understand! Shall I give you a massage now?"

"Come to my room later, tonight."

"it is good!"

Volume 1: 121: Strive for the Ambition in Your Heart! (6500) (41/51)

On October 28th, the Yuan family experienced a major event.

Good news! Runzi's mother is safe and sound and has successfully given birth to a new member for the family.

It was a lovely baby girl, and after thinking about it for a day, Junko's mother named her "Chiyo".

In Japan, this name symbolizes eternal vitality and the hope that she will always be healthy, embodying the most simple wish of an ordinary mother.

Actually, when she discussed it with her husband, they also prepared other options.

For example, "liuli" is taken from one of the seven treasures in Buddhist scriptures, and it also symbolizes penetrating wisdom.

For example, "Fengnai" was born in autumn, and it is hoped that she will grow up as beautiful and elegant as a maple leaf.

However, the reason Junko's mother ultimately chose the name "Chiyo" was because she took Minamoto Chiya into consideration.

Minamoto no Chiya, Minamoto no Chiyo.

It sounds like they're siblings.

The family members are very concerned about the new family member.

Needless to say, her parents also took great care of her, and the Takanashi sisters also did their best to look after her in addition to her daily studies.

During this time, the number of times that Yuan Qianye's friends visited his home also increased.

They all really liked Chiyo.

They kept bringing gifts for toddlers, such as small toys, clothes, and diapers.

Even the maid, who had never appeared in this house before, sent medical olive oil to Minamoto Chiyo after learning that she had a younger sister, in addition to congratulating her.

This can help new mothers recover from loose abdominal skin after childbirth.

Their thoughtful gestures made Runzi's mother feel a little embarrassed.

Having been through it herself, she understood the situation all too well. In private, she would talk with her husband about their concerns about Qianye.

Each of the girls around him is outstanding on her own, with delicate features and beautiful looks, and they all come from good families. I really don't know how my son will end up like this.

Regardless of which one Qianye ultimately chooses, she will always feel sorry for the others.

She really wanted all of them to call her "Mom" in the future, but Junko knew that such a greedy wish could never be fulfilled.

After thinking for a while, Yuan's father also felt quite overwhelmed. In the end, he could only give the answer of "He will solve his own problems properly"—a choice to avoid interfering and let him develop on his own.

There's really no way to manage them; they themselves are quite conflicted right now.

Kasumigaoka Utaha visits the Minamoto family again.

She's been coming over very frequently lately.

She has her own reasons, so they don't seem out of place.

Yes, I just came to see the baby.
