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

Let alone my own daughter, if the age gap weren't so big, I'd want to sleep with her myself...

Shaking her head, Miyoko dismissed those inappropriate thoughts.

"President, what you're saying is too far ahead, and your ideas are unrealistic."

Yoko looked quite melancholy, not saying a word, just sighing and looking at her.

Miyoko felt uncomfortable being stared at and understood Yoko's meaning, but in the end, she could only sigh helplessly.

"Okay, I understand. If there's an opportunity later, I'll try to find one for Kazusa."

"As expected of Miyoko, you're my favorite person besides Kazusa. Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll introduce you to a good man."

"No need. I don't like this kind of deliberate arrangement. Let things take their course."

As we entered the latter half of February, the weather gradually warmed up.

With the reputation and sales of astrological murder magic both soaring.

Yuan Qianye's wallet became increasingly full.

Kodansha has already transferred over 30 million yen into his personal bank account, and the remaining profits will be transferred in periodically.

In contrast, the frequent appearances of Gen Chiya on social media and in newspapers in a short period of time have also increased his popularity.

He is now often recognized by passersby when he walks down the street. While this satisfies his vanity, it also brings him a lot of trouble.

It's hard to say how things will be after this wave of hype dies down, but he definitely won't be able to go shopping with the girls around him as he pleases anytime soon.

In addition, the business of his family's bar and beauty salon has recently boomed due to his personal fame.

Yuan's father also returned from abroad after a long absence, a little late, but he still managed to hold a celebration party for his son.

This time, Toka was not absent like last time, but Chiyo could still sense that Toka's attitude towards her had remained unchanged since she first noticed it.

She was certainly happy about her recent achievements, but only from a family perspective, nothing more.

Gen Chiya naturally didn't want to see this happen.

He wanted to go back to the way things were before with Toka, when the two of them would occasionally clash and create that kind of... ambiguous feeling that made his heart race.

However, if I try to have a direct conversation with her, she always manages to defuse the situation as if she had anticipated it.

Alternatively, they might choose to chat in the living room, where both parents are present.

Or, like that night before, try to get Rikka involved too.

In short, the Ten Flowers' defense was extremely tight, making it difficult for Gen Chiya to break through, and he was quite frustrated during this period.

We can't let this situation continue.

We still need to find a way to break this deadlock, but where can we find such a chance...?

In the morning, Gen Chiya went to school as usual.

Even if the school gives him the green light, he can't stay at home forever.

Boredom is one aspect, but another is that school is currently one of the few social occasions where he can completely relax.

Good morning, Gen-kun.

Good morning, esteemed writer Yuan!

When he arrived at the classroom, his classmates, some reserved and some enthusiastic, greeted him warmly.

Yuan Qianye smiled and responded to each of them before going to his seat.

Before long, Haruhara Youhei also arrived at the classroom.

After putting down my schoolbag, I went straight to my good friend's table.

Good morning, Chiya.

"Good morning." Yuan Qianye looked up at him, her nose was red, but her complexion was not bad: "You look like you've recovered well."

This guy took a day off from school yesterday because he caught a cold and had a fever.

Sunohara Youhei waved his hand dismissively: "It's just a fever. Besides, I'm in very good physical condition."

Yuan Qianye smiled.

In terms of physical fitness, he is actually abnormally good; he has never even had the slightest cold in all these years.

With his hands behind his head, Sunohara Youhei remarked with a touch of melancholy, "However, getting sick once in a while has its advantages."

Yuan Qianye took out the books he needed for the first class and casually said, "It's great to be able to lie at home and not have to come to school, isn't it?"

"That's true, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about my mom and sister. They really showed me a gentle side for the first time in a long time. They didn't nag me like they usually do, and they even made me some delicious porridge. They were also very gentle with me."

"Isn't that obvious? They're your family, of course they'd worry about you..."

Ok?

Because of his friend's casual remark, Yuan Qianye suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Qianye, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Yuan Qianye quickly snapped out of his thoughts and smiled, "To celebrate your recovery from your illness, I'll treat you to lunch at the cafeteria today."

"Really? I want udon with fried pork cutlet!"

"No problem, another order of fried shrimp and fish balls, please."

"Damn it, you're really rich now..."

Yuan Qianye's smile widened.

Just when I was thinking about an opportunity, it came to me.

…………

Volume 1: 156: The Meticulously Planned Icebreaker (6500) (12/12)

Pretending to be sick to take leave is not a complicated matter. Whether in school or in the workplace, similar situations are common, driven by ulterior motives.

With her exceptional physique, Minamoto Chiya could easily dive into Tokyo Bay in the dead of winter and swim around it, and then come back up still full of energy without any major problems.

But only he himself knew about this.

It's normal for humans to get sick.

If he doesn't tell anyone about his own situation, who would know?

Of course, even if I told them, I doubt anyone would believe me.

Today's first class is Chinese.

Yuan Qianye paid no attention to the lesson, his mind wandering, meticulously considering his own plans.

Because my purpose toward Shika this time is relatively complicated, and I also need to consider unexpected interference from all sides in the process, I need to avoid being disturbed or disrupted as much as possible, so as to prevent her from being able to stay out of it as a matter of course.

Therefore, he can't just lie at home and rush in headfirst. He has to create the situation where he is "sick" and the person he expects has to take good care of him.

With this ultimate goal in mind, the first thing I need to do is...

Yuan Qianye circled the simplified cartoon drawings of his parents and little Chiyo on the draft paper with his pen.

I must say, he drew it quite realistically. With just a few simple strokes, the character's individual features came to life on the paper. It's all thanks to Eriri; putting everything else aside, she's truly amazing at drawing...

In short, Mom, Dad, and Chiyo all need to find a way to keep them from staying at home during this period.

With them away from home, many things become much more convenient.

However, achieving this goal is very difficult.

My dad just finished a show abroad and came home not long ago. He's currently taking a short break at home. The shop has hired staff to operate, and he basically just goes over to check on things occasionally. He's completely transformed from a bartender to a hands-off owner.

Runko's mother is in a similar situation; she spends most of her time at home while taking care of little Chiyo.

Perhaps because absence makes the heart grow fonder, the couple has been spending a lot of time together at home lately.

Yuan Qianye himself inadvertently noticed three times that, either when he went downstairs or when he had just returned home, the two people who were close together would quickly separate their heads.

Another time, my dad even quickly withdrew his hand.

That time, Runzi's mother blushed deeply and secretly punched her husband.

Aside from the slight awkwardness, Yuan Qianye was quite pleased to see how good the couple's relationship was.

However, this did give him some inspiration.

Considering that my dad had just returned from working abroad, he was quite tired.

Runzi's mother has been busy with housework and taking care of little Chiyo at home, while also managing various matters at the store, which has been very tiring for her.

So, having just made a lot of money, it seems perfectly normal for me to suggest treating them to a few days of fun somewhere else, right?

That would allow them to do... well, you know, without any scruples, right?

The only challenge was with Chiyo; the couple relaxed, as it was somewhat inconvenient to have a small baby with them.

Yuan Qianye lightly tapped the table with his fingertip, not agonizing over it for long.

Just choose a Saturday or Sunday and let Chiyo stay.

It's perfect to hand it over to Rikka, and at the same time, seal this little idiot away, so she won't cause any trouble later. It's killing two birds with one stone.

After figuring out the key and important things, the remaining details naturally took shape in Yuan Qianye's mind under his intense thinking.

A smile appeared on his lips.

If all goes well, his relationship with Shika will likely thaw soon.

He secretly took out his phone from under the table and glanced at it, only to find that his brainstorming session had only taken a dozen minutes.

It's strange, I feel like the timeline of today's class was inexplicably stretched out.

After class, Chiya Minamoto went to the rooftop alone and dialed Miyoko Kudo's number.

Just as Touma Yoko said, he has now completely and skillfully mastered how to use this young lady.

"...I understand. You want your parents to relax outside after a long time, so you want me to help you book a hot spring hotel, right? No problem, leave it to me. Do your parents have any particular preferences in this area?"

"I've already decided on the specific location. I went to one before, and the environment was very nice. It's in Hakone..."
