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

Saeko had been unable to contain herself since she first learned that Chiya had won the Ranpo Award... no, it should be said that she had been unable to contain herself since the moment she left home in the morning.

Perhaps it's because they've already crossed that line and experienced the joy of love between men and women.

Having learned about the new world, she would often find herself thinking of her boyfriend in her spare time.

This frequent and prolonged contemplation led her to a situation quite similar to that of Minamoto Chiyo when she first learned of her feelings for Toka.

I dream very frequently, and every morning when I wake up, the first thing I have to do is grab a change of underwear and go to the bathroom.

However, unlike the situation where Yuan Qianye could only endure it, she could find considerable satisfaction in private for her love and longing for the person she admired, even though she couldn't express it openly.

"Wait...wait a minute, Saeko, there's no time!"

Yuan Qianye originally thought that she simply wanted to be intimate in private, and that it would be over after the kiss.

But it wasn't until her hand slipped under the hem of his pajamas and moved up to his chest that things changed.

This starting stance doesn't look like it'll be over in a short time.

"Mmm...I know, I just want a hug, to really feel your body temperature."

Saeko lay on top of Chiya, her eyes filled with love, her body as limp as water.

To be honest, Chiya Minamoto didn't dislike Saeko's enthusiasm for him.

I even really like it.

This kind of woman, who appears dignified and noble in public, and a victorious and successful woman in private, is an unparalleled blessing that men crave but cannot obtain.

But there's one condition: we have to choose a good time!

This was not the same situation they had been in at the hotel that day, where everyone was asleep and they could do whatever they wanted as long as they didn't make too much noise.

It wasn't that one day after school, he went to Saeko's house alone; the huge Japanese-style mansion was just the two of them.

After sword practice, they can embrace each other and go to the bathroom for a bath, where they can do something indescribable without any worries.

Eriri accompanied Rikka upstairs to change her clothes and they would be down soon.

Shiyu went to the restroom, which was on the first floor, and she could come out at any time.

In this situation filled with a sense of crisis and the constant threat of exposure, Yuan Qianye... he...!

Well, even though I knew in my heart that it was best not to, my body was quite honest and I couldn't resist at all.

So he made the same move as Saeko.

Saeko let out a soft moan and lay motionless on top of him.

Despite her body trembling slightly as if she were being electrocuted, she still tried her best to arch her upper body to coordinate with Chiya's movements.

Qianye's palm was big and warm.

This joy caused her to momentarily lose her composure.

I also sincerely feel that it's great to have met Qianye.

Kasumigaoka Utaha picked up her panties and tights one after the other, and came out of the bathroom after washing her hands.

Upon seeing this, Saeko immediately stood up, lowered her head, and walked past her into the restroom.

Meanwhile, Yuan Qianye was sitting on the sofa with his legs together and his body leaning forward, watching a news program.

Ok?

This is exactly the kind of time I've always dreamed of, just the two of us alone together.

Finding nothing amiss, Shiyu came over to the sofa and sat down next to Yuan Qianye.

They wouldn't be physically touching, but the distance between them would probably only be a few centimeters.

Everyone could smell the pleasant fragrance emanating from Shiyu, different from Saeko's.

Yuan Qianye, whose gaze fell upon Shi Yu's alluring face, which seemed to hold back her words, suddenly felt a loud alarm bell ring in his mind.

Sure enough, the next moment...

"Qianye, do you remember the stockings you helped me choose before? After buying them, it turns out that you were right. The material is much better than the brands I used before. They don't snag easily, are very elastic and don't feel tight. They are also very comfortable to wear and fit the skin very well."

Shi Yu seemed to be talking about serious clothing matching, but her body language was anything but. Her trembling tone also showed that she was well aware of what she was doing.

As she said this, she slightly lifted the hem of her pleated skirt, not revealing her entire cleavage in one go.

She wasn't that bold, and she knew that given their current relationship, going that far would be too much.

She simply pulled her skirt up to mid-thigh, revealing a small section of her thigh that she wouldn't normally be able to see directly.

To show that she was genuinely just discussing fashion and to express her gratitude for Chiyo's advice, Shiyu also gently pinched and slowly pulled up her semi-transparent black stockings with two fingers.

It's... incredibly astringent.

She really knows.

"...Yes, Shiyu, it does look really good on you. I'm glad it's helpful."

Yuan Qianye was desperate. He wanted to calm down, but he couldn't calm down at all in the current situation.

Do you want to touch it? The material is very comfortable.

That's what she was thinking, but having already exhausted all her remaining sense of shame by doing this much, Kasumigaoka Utaha still couldn't bring herself to speak.

There's plenty of time; there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

She comforted herself with this thought.

"Qianye, aren't you going to change your clothes?"

"Oh, don't worry, just wait a little while. Rikka is always slow, so it'll probably be a while."

No sooner had Gen Chiya finished speaking than Rikka, unusually, came running down the street with Eriri.

Gen Chiya: "..."

"Hey? Chiya, why aren't you changing yet? If we go to the restaurant too late, we might have to wait in line," Rikka said, staring at him with a puzzled look.

Despite their strange looks, Yuan Qianye remained seated on the sofa, forcing a smile, and said, "Wait a moment, let me finish reading this news first."

Eriri laughed and said, "Chiya is just like my dad. They're both very interested in news about international affairs."

"Men seem to be quite interested in news about current affairs. My dad is the same way. My mom once joked that it was useless for a small employee like him to read these things. He seriously retorted that paying attention to world news can cultivate a broad perspective, help him understand the situation in different countries, and also help him manage funds and invest in stocks."

Perhaps genuinely happy about Minamoto Chiyo's award, Kasumigaoka unusually echoed Eriri's words, whom she had previously considered her rival.

Eriri was clearly taken aback for a moment, then crossed her arms over her chest and awkwardly murmured "Mmm".

Rikka took the opportunity to check if the gas was turned off properly in the kitchen, and also to close the windows tightly and pour some food into the small lunchbox of Dark Wings.

During this time, Yuan Qianye remained motionless, staring intently at the television screen.

Even after Saeko came out of the bathroom, he was still like that.

Then a few minutes passed, and the news ended.

There is no longer any reason to delay.

Yuan Qianye took a deep breath, humming a nursery rhyme in his mind, and bent slightly as he stood up.

Shi Yu glanced at him casually, and her pupils suddenly dilated slightly.

Thinking back to Qianye's actions just now, she seemed to suddenly understand something.

Unable to resist, she secretly glanced down and took another look.

Indeed... if you look closely, it will be quite obvious.

That's right, isn't it?

Chiya couldn't get up normally just because she saw a little bit of my thigh covered by black stockings.

That's why he's been sitting here for so long...

Shi Yu's cheeks flushed slightly, and she felt both happy and shy.

Chiya, really... do I seem that charming to you...?

For lunch, we chose a high-end beef restaurant on a commercial street not far from Yuan's house.

The main course was sukiyaki, which included premium marbled beef and chrysanthemum greens, cabbage, scallions, shiitake mushrooms, and other ingredients. It was drizzled with a special soy sauce, boiled, and then dipped in a pasteurized egg for a very smooth and tender texture.

In addition, we also ordered the restaurant's signature dishes: pan-fried beef tongue, Japanese beef skewers, and Japanese beef croquettes.

The table was full of meat, which made Rikka, a meat lover, quite satisfied.

Watching her chubby little face as she ate, Yuan Qianye couldn't help but chuckle midway through, thinking of a hamster.

Actually, ever since they became close, Rikka has never really cared about a girl's feelings in front of her sworn brother.

But ever since they returned from the hot spring hotel, he suddenly didn't know what he was thinking, so he grabbed her and asked if he had changed at all, and then he brought his face very close to hers.

Looking closely into his eyes, I saw his features, which rivaled those of any current male idol.

At the time, Rikka felt that Minamoto Chiya was somewhat like a male protagonist from a shoujo manga who had come to life.

It's still the kind of design that's flawless, the most perfect one!

She also clearly noticed that her sworn brother was really handsome. Compared to him, all the boys her age around her were just beasts.

Something clearly different gradually settled and slowly took root in her heart.

Therefore, upon noticing the smiling expression on Minamoto Chiyo's face as she looked at her at the dinner table, Rikka swallowed what was in her mouth and immediately complained, "Why do you keep smiling at me while we're eating!"

Yuan Qianye's smile remained unchanged: "I'm very happy to have won an award today."

"You're lying. You're clearly just smiling at me. It's just a couple more pieces of your meat. I'll just heat it up for you."

"It's okay, feel free to eat a little more. If you're still hungry, I'll give you two more plates."

"We can't possibly eat that much, this is enough!"

You really treat me like a little pig, don't you...?

Rikka recalled that when she was changing clothes at home earlier, Eriri had been watching her thoughtfully. Eriri reached out and pinched her lower abdomen, asking uncertainly, "Rikka, have you gained a little weight recently?"

Now Qianye is staring at him at the dinner table, smiling so ambiguously...

Oh no! Have I really gained weight?!
