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

Now that the relationship is established, she's much more proactive.

"Thousand Nights..."

"Ok?"

"I want to count your teeth."

"Well--"

The next moment, it easily broke into his oral cavity.

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.

Saeko Busujima could understand Chiya Minamoto's situation, but she wasn't entirely indifferent to it.

But after careful consideration, she felt that it was all within her acceptable range.

Leaving aside Qianye for now, you can understand it just by looking at the way he confessed to himself.

Although he is a womanizer, he has his own bottom line.

It's safe to say that he won't resort to underhanded tactics in relationships.

Whether it's Yukino, Utaha, or Eriri, they are all good girls.

Today, Qianye faced his own confession, and he will most likely do it again in the future.

To be fair, based on Saeko's understanding of each of them...

Yukino is aloof yet righteous, and she cannot tolerate any injustice.

Shiyu seems easy to talk to, but she also has her own principles and pride.

Eriri harbors rather girlish fantasies about love.

Saeko didn't think that, given their personalities, they could accept Chiya's philandering nature as readily as she did.

Since relationships are a two-way street, if one party can't accept it, no matter how much Qianye likes them, it's unlikely to go smoothly.

Furthermore, even if Chiya is very capable, everything will go smoothly for their confessions in the future, so Saeko is not too worried.

As mentioned above, everyone is a good girl.

Since she had already established a romantic relationship with Qianye, it was highly unlikely that they could surpass her or shake her position as the first choice in Qianye's heart.

So if everything goes as she predicted, she will most likely marry Qianye in the future.

By then, once their private relationship becomes public, they will have the security of a marriage contract.

Saeko didn't really mind that Chiya maintained some contact with them privately.

I feel very sorry for Yukino, Utaha, and Eriri.

But love is war.

Now that Saeko has taken action, she won't hold back halfway.

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.

It was a little after eight in the morning.

As the curtains were drawn back, sunlight streamed obliquely into the room.

With her head bathed in the blinding sunlight, Eriri's eyelids twitched slightly. After a moment, she made two "uh-uh" sounds, turned to the side, hugged her blanket, and tucked it between her legs.

He chuckled again, mumbling, "Qianye, eat slowly, it's all yours, no one's going to take it from you..."

"Pfft-"

"Yinglili, Yinglili..."

Ok?

Eriri seemed to hear someone chuckling softly, and then she heard someone calling her name.

After slowly opening my eyes, I realized that wasn't the case at all.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was standing not far away, watching them while covering her mouth, looking quite amused for some reason.

At this moment, Yukino, with a slightly flushed face and a helpless expression, knelt on one side of her bed, her right hand gently resting on her shoulder.

Seeing that Eriri had woken up, Yukino finally breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise she didn't know what other embarrassing things Eriri would say next.

"Eri, it's already past eight o'clock. It's about time to get up, wash up, and have breakfast. We were planning to go shopping at the hot spring shopping street in this area later, weren't we?"

"Oh, it's already past eight o'clock..."

Eriri's head was still a little foggy. There was no way around it; she had been kicked awake by Rikka in the middle of the night, and then invited by Chiya to chat for a while before returning to her room. She was so excited that she didn't fall asleep again until an hour later.

To be honest, my sleep quality is a bit poor.

At that moment, on the other side, Kasumigaoka also woke up Rikka.

Once she finished her task, she walked straight out of the room.

"What's that guy laughing about? He keeps staring at me and laughing." Eriri whispered to Yukino.

Yukino hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "It's nothing. Hurry up and change your clothes. I'll go order breakfast."

She felt it was best not to tell her friend the actual situation, to avoid upsetting her mood later in the day.

However, she was still quite curious about Eriri's dream.

She wondered what Qianye was eating in her dream.

Eriri and Rikka got up, washed up, and changed their clothes. It was 8:30.

Just as the shop assistant brought the breakfast into the room, Chiya and Saeko returned.

"It took much longer than expected. We were supposed to finish the 10 kilometers in half an hour and come back."

Kasumigaoka glanced at their foreheads, which weren't sweating, but their faces were flushed, and said casually.

Yuan Qianye was very frank: "We changed our plans slightly and found a mountain path along the way. There was a pavilion with a great view next to the path, so we spent some time there."

Saeko echoed without any change in expression: "If you're all interested, I can take you to see it later."

As they talked, they each sat down at their respective small dining tables.

To others, this was no different from last night.

But what they didn't know was that something had indeed subtly changed right under their noses.

Volume 1: Chapter 144: The Mystery Writers of Italy

At 9:30 a.m., the group walked out of the hotel.

Eriri Sawamura, as the initiator of this outing, had prepared the itinerary well in advance.

On this day, they first went to Lake Ashi and enjoyed the scenery along the lake.

The weather was fine, so the reflection of Mount Fuji was clearly visible on the lake.

The vermilion "water torii gate" is an extension of Hakone Shrine, standing in the middle of the lake.

The unique man-made architecture, combined with the beautiful scenery, makes it a classic spot for taking photos.

Rikka pulled everyone along and asked a friendly passerby to help take a group photo.

After that, they took a vehicle to the Sculpture Forest Museum to admire the Picasso collection and the outdoor art sculpture group.

Then we went to the Little Prince Museum and saw a restored European-style streetscape.

Local staff told them that they had come at a bad time; if they had come earlier, during the Christmas season, they could have seen a particularly romantic winter Christmas light show.

On the way to Xiaoyongyuan Hot Spring Park.

They sampled local delicacies, including "black eggs" cooked in sulfur hot springs. The price was reasonable, at 120 yuan each, and it was said that eating them could extend one's life by seven years.

Eriri and Rikka weren't very hungry, but they each ate three in a row.

The trip was short, only two days, so if we wanted to see as many local attractions as possible, we had to hurry.

Therefore, the two literary girls in the group had to follow the group and walk back and forth quickly, like going to a market.

The first half of the morning was fine, but in the second half of the afternoon, they started to experience slight shortness of breath.

At this point, they started to resemble younger relatives accompanying their aunts and uncles shopping. If they could find a moment to stop at a certain place, they would quickly seize this hard-won time and sit down.

Along the hot spring shopping street, Rikka excitedly dragged Eriri along to take a photo with the local mascot.

Saeko then turned her gaze to Yukino and Utaha, who were sitting on a bench by the roadside.

At that moment, Yukino let out a long sigh of relief, while Utaha leaned down and pinched her calves, which were covered by black stockings.

Neither of them seems to have much stamina...

I felt Saeko's thoughtful gaze.

Yukino and Utaha both blushed slightly.

However, since I'm not the only one in this situation, it's still within a tolerable range.

The two, who didn't get along, actually found themselves thinking, "Luckily, she's like me."

At this moment, Chiya returned from buying milk tea, first handing it to Yukino and Utaha, and finally to Saeko.

Saeko looked at the cloudy white liquid under the transparent bottle, and her memory seemed to return to last night.

Gen Chiya really didn't have any other thoughts; he simply saw Saeko's wet, glistening gaze as if she were trying to convey something.

After hesitating for a moment, I noticed her holding the milk tea with both hands and her fingers moving unnaturally, and then I realized what was going on.

No way, can you even drive on this lousy road?

When women get aroused, they can be just as good as men...

Rikka took the photos and then came back skipping and jumping with Eriri in tow.

These two, full of boundless energy, were chattering away about wanting to go to the next place.

Yukino and Utaha once again displayed that look of being ready to die.

Take a deep breath and get up from the comfortable bench.
