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

I want to be able to feel her presence at close range anytime, anywhere, just like before.

So, since the results of the previous test were satisfactory.

Let's build on that and make some further arrangements.

Incidentally, it transformed her uncertainty, or her forced disbelief, into certainty.

Let her know clearly that he likes her and wants to become a family with her, not just to support each other, but to raise children together.

I wonder how she will react then.

Yuan Qianye didn't think it was a risky move. After all, this wasn't a confession that was a do-or-die situation.

It was merely his own feeling. She simply discovered it "inadvertently."

Just like with the sleep-talking I just mentioned, make sure you have enough options for yourself.

Then, we'll see how Shihua reacts.

As Yuan Qianye pondered the next steps, he suddenly and very gently lay down from the position leaning against the headboard and closed his eyes.

Almost at the same time he finished making that move, Toka returned to his room.

Without making a sound, she gently touched his forehead again.

Although Yuan Qianye did not open his eyes, he still saw the relieved expression on Toka's face through God's perspective.

She was genuinely worried about herself.

At this moment, Yuan Qianye felt a slight sense of guilt.

Shihua was so worried about him, yet he took advantage of her thoughtfulness and kindness. He guessed Shihua wouldn't be able to sleep well all night.

But then I thought about it again.

He himself had also suffered from sleepless nights because of Shihua, and had even gone to the toilet in the middle of the night many times because of her. Not only did this affect his sleep quality, but it also caused his body to lose nutrition and water.

Although he has an exceptional physique and doesn't care about this kind of exertion, his energy expenditure has indeed decreased.

With this in mind, Yuan Qianye felt at ease, thinking that the two of them owed each other nothing.

Besides, he felt that no one else in the world liked Tohka more than him, and no one was a better match for Tohka than him.

Okay, that solves all the problems.

These small acts of concealment are merely necessary strategies to achieve a happier future.

Shihua stayed for more than ten minutes this time.

Her sworn brother was fast asleep, allowing her to lie unreservedly by the bedside and admire his weak yet strangely real face.

That night, the youngest children in the family, Rikka and Chiyo, slept soundly.

With her eyes closed, Yuan Qianye was thinking about Shihua's matter, pretending to be fast asleep.

Because of her complicated thoughts, Shika barely closed her eyes all night.

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.

The following Saturday, around 8 a.m., Toka was woken up by Rokuka gently nudging her shoulder.

"Sister, wake up, have breakfast before you go back to sleep."

Toka rested her forehead on her hand, opened her eyes and looked at Rikka in a daze, then suddenly realized what was happening and got up.

Last night, she was concerned about the sick Chiyo. She checked on his condition for what seemed like the umpteenth time before returning to Rikka's room, when she finally felt sleepy.

I was just thinking of leaning against the headboard and taking a nap, but I ended up falling asleep.

"Where is Chiyo?"

"It's downstairs."

"She's alone?"

"No, Chiya is cooking, and I'm just keeping an eye on her."

"How can I let Qianye cook when he's sick? He should have just woken me up."

"I said that too, but he insisted that he was better..."

Rikka pouted and retorted helplessly.

Shihua didn't say anything more, quickly got up, and didn't even bother to comb her messy hair before going downstairs.

Good morning, Shihua.

Hearing the noise, Yuan Qianye, who was in the kitchen, turned around and greeted her.

He seemed to be in better spirits than yesterday, but his voice was much hoarseer than before.

Shihua quickly went over.

How are you feeling now?

"Great! My head doesn't hurt anymore. Thanks to Shika, her care last night was a huge help."

"Alright, leave the rest to me. You just need to rest."

Without saying a word, Shihua snatched the spatula from his hand, tied off his apron, and pulled him to sit on the sofa in the living room.

Gen Chiya seemed to have something to say, but Toka didn't give him the chance.

"Listen to me, don't be willful."

Then she instructed Rikka to bring the thermometer from upstairs for Chiya to take her temperature.

Even though he said he was fine, she was still afraid he was just putting on an act, so she wanted to check for herself.

After taking over the kitchen, Shihua quickly and efficiently served breakfast.

It was almost time, so she took the thermometer Qianye handed her and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the temperature was 36.5 degrees Celsius.

"I already told you I'm fine."

"Well, you're still recovering from an illness. Didn't you hear how unusual your voice sounds? You still need to stay home and rest. Okay, you guys eat now, I'm going to wash up."

"Um... Toka, actually I was just about to say that I have to go out later."

Upon hearing this, Toka immediately stopped and looked at Gen Chiya with a serious expression.

"Work again?"

"..."

Yuan Qianye smiled in accompaniment.

"But you need to rest now, you've only just recovered, what if your condition worsens again?"

"It can't be that bad. My health isn't that bad. Besides, it's not good to delay the schedules of so many staff members because of me. It would also cause trouble for others."

"..."

After hearing what Yuan Qianye said, Shika couldn't offer any more advice.

However, this didn't stop her from putting on an expression that showed she was very unhappy.

"Whatever you want."

She uttered those words softly, then turned and headed straight for the washroom.

Rikka then came to Minamoto Chiya's side and tugged at his clothes.

"My sister is angry. I've made her angry many times, so I'm sure she's really angry this time. It's red... no, it's deep red."

"Qianye, can't you skip today? Ever since your novel won the award, you've hardly ever stayed home. Take this opportunity to be sick, explain the situation to the staff, and it's okay to take a break. If you feel embarrassed, I'll apologize on your behalf."

The fact that Rikka could say such a thing made Minamoto no Chiya very pleased. He stroked her head.

"Alright, it's not a matter of whether I apologize or not. It was indeed something we agreed on in advance, and it's a matter of integrity, so I have to go. As for Shihua, I'll think of something later. Also, please put in a good word for me at home. Thank you."

"Oh fine."

What could Rikka do but nod and agree?

"But a thousand nights..."

"Ok?"

"Your voice sounds awful right now, like a duck with its neck being squeezed."

"...Well, there's no other way; it's better to be sick after all."

It was also to complete the performance.

The maid's voice-changing skill is really useful in the current situation.

It was worth it for him to ask her out beforehand, and while he was relaxing and having fun with her, he also managed to level up this skill to LV2.

After breakfast, despite her displeasure, Toka still saw Yuan Qianye off at the door, reminding him not to work so hard and to call her immediately if anything happened.

Yuan Qianye agreed to everything.

He then bid farewell to his three sisters and left home.

He didn't actually work today.

But there are indeed things I need to prepare for leaving home.

Having finally managed to stir up some emotions in Shihua, it's time to strike while the iron is hot.

He went to the stationery store, bought a pen, and then picked out a booklet of a suitable size.

Then we found an internet cafe, found a private room, and went inside.

Close the door and move the keyboard on the desktop to one side.

Memories unfold, and the "Secret Love Confession" diary, specially tailored for Shika, begins to be written.

Volume 1: Chapter 160: His "Diary"
