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

"I'm so touched..."

"what?"

"I never expected you to have so much faith in my football abilities! You even said such encouraging things to me!"

"You should go back to sleep."

"Why sleep when there's no class? I've decided, tomorrow I'm going to bring my treasured items from Sunohara Yohei's collection to share with my best friend. You can look forward to it!"

"..."

Yuan Qianye wasn't expecting anything. In the end, the things that junior high school boys treasured were just a few things: game consoles, comics, anime DVDs, or models.

After school in the afternoon, Eriri went to the art club to register, while Rikka told her to go home first.

As usual, Gen Chiya visited the tennis club, table tennis club, and basketball club alone.

The leaders of all three clubs were impressed by his outstanding performance during the experience session and strongly urged him to join their respective clubs! They didn't want such a promising athlete to slip away!

Yuan Qianye finally said he would go back and think about it, but by the time he got rid of them, it was already close to six o'clock.

By this time, it was already getting dark, and most of the people participating in club activities at school began to leave the school one after another.

Yuan Qianye walked towards the school gate and took out her phone.

There are several unread messages.

Shihua went home early today and was in charge of cooking. She asked him if he wanted the dishes to be spicier tonight.

Rikka was craving taiyaki and asked him to bring her some back if he saw the shops near the school were still open.

Forty minutes ago, Eriri asked him when the club visit would end, saying she was waiting for him at the school gate. Ten minutes ago, she sent another message saying, "Looks like you're still busy, I'll head back now."

As Yuan Qianye looked at Eriri's message, a vivid image of Eriri standing alone at the school gate waiting for him appeared in his mind.

He replied to Eriri's message first.

[I just saw the message. In the future, in situations like this, just go back directly; you don't need to wait for me.]

Eriri replied almost instantly.

Okay, I understand. How was the club visit?

Gen Chiya chatted with her casually for a few minutes, and also replied to Toka and Rikka's messages.

At that moment, another message from Sunohara Youhei popped up.

Hey bro, don't get your hopes up too high, I'll surprise you tomorrow morning! By the way, just asking casually, do you prefer flat or big breasts?

Gen Chiya: "..."

Isn't this the kind of thing you're going to show me tomorrow?

He initially intended to ignore it, but seeing the "read" notification displayed in the chat box, he thought about it and replied anyway.

Children make choices.

After leaving the school, Yuan Qianye stopped looking down at his phone.

Because of his own experiences, he has a natural sense of awe towards roads and moving vehicles.

The shops that make all kinds of snacks are still open. Gen Chiya bought the taiyaki that Rikka wanted to eat and headed towards the train station as usual.

At that moment, at the edge of his line of sight, a red exclamation mark slowly appeared above the head of a girl across the street.

Yuan Qianye immediately stopped in his tracks.

He fixed his eyes.

You read that right, it is indeed red.

It was still that deep red, like blood, that inexplicably chilling color!

Having traveled through so many years, this is the first time Yuan Qianye has encountered such a situation!

What will happen to the girl with the deep red exclamation mark above her head?

What life-or-death crisis will she face next?

Yuan Qianye had a lot on his mind, but even as he was thinking, his legs were already moving.

As he stepped onto the overpass and watched the girl walk further and further away, he immediately activated his God's-eye view.

Upon looking at it, he gained even more information.

The girl was wearing the same style of school uniform as her, clearly from the same school. She was good-looking, and she was carrying her schoolbag strap in her left hand and holding a long strip wrapped in black cloth in her right hand. It was unclear what was inside.

After crossing the road, Yuan Qianye maintained a slow speed for a considerable distance.

The deep red exclamation mark made him very wary.

But his curiosity compelled him to come and take a look.

Following them all the way to remote, deserted streets, Gen Chiya made new discoveries.

Behind the girl, two suspicious-looking adults were following her!

This led him to new speculations.

A feud between gangsters? Kidnapping and extortion? Lust at first sight?

After following for another five minutes, Yuan Qianye, who was still at a distance, realized that something was wrong.

This area seems to be full of unfinished, abandoned buildings. There's not a soul to be seen here, not even a ghost.

He had initially thought the girl was walking normally towards her home, but now it seemed nobody lived around here...

There seems to be more to the story.

In my line of sight, the girl and the man behind her walked into a small path one after the other.

After picking up a steel bar from the roadside, Yuan Qianye waited for a while before jogging over.

This area was one he had never explored before, so he couldn't use a god's-eye view and could only confirm it with his own eyes.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the path, he saw the two men lewdly rushing towards the girl.

In that critical moment, Yuan Qianye didn't think too much.

He quickly assessed the disparity in strength between himself and the enemy, and concluded that if he launched a sneak attack, he would have a 90% chance of winning.

Without further hesitation, he immediately started running and rushed towards that direction!

But he only took two steps before his eyes widened and he immediately slammed on the brakes.

Two men, one of whom just grabbed the girl's schoolbag and threw it on the ground!

Just as the other was about to grab the girl into his arms, there was a muffled "bang"!

One of them clutched his head and collapsed to the ground, letting out a wail!

what happened? !

Yuan Qianye didn't even see how the girl made her move!

"Well!"

The other man, equally confused, suddenly had his eyes bulge out, clutched his stomach, and knelt on the ground!

This time, Yuan Qianye saw it clearly: it was a wooden sword, and the girl was holding a wooden sword!

She launched her attack in the blink of an eye, instantly eliminating the two men who were following her!

Is it... really that strong?

If what I just witnessed was an awe and wonder at the girl's strength.

What happened next sent a chill down Yuan Qianye's spine, and he silently took a half step back.

The two men who were following the suspect were clearly incapacitated.

But the girl didn't seem to intend to give up.

She raised her knee and aimed it directly at the chin of the person in front of her, then raised the wooden sword in her hands high and chopped at his knee with all her might. With a "crack," the person's leg was most likely shattered!

Then she turned to another person, gripped the bamboo knife with both hands in reverse, and stabbed the tip of the knife into his shoulder blade. The stab was both fierce and accurate, and the man screamed in agony until his voice broke!

"Ah... I've been attacked... I'm so scared... I'm so scared..."

The girl kept muttering to herself, but her blood-stained smile was downright insane!

Her long hair flew wildly as she brandished her bamboo knife in the night, using the skills she had practiced to inflict pain on the criminals, listening to their screams and watching their expressions of agony!

She felt exhilarated, more exhilarated than she had ever felt at that moment!

Yuan Qianye stared at her like that, and for some reason, he froze, completely bewildered.

Finally, everything has settled down.

The two men lying on the ground were beaten until they were too weak to make a sound.

The girl's frenzied expression gradually subsided. She looked back at the path she had come from, and the bamboo knife in her hand fell to the ground as if it had lost its strength.

After slowly walking over, she looked at Yuan Qianye in front of her, placed her hands loosely against the corners of her eyes, and made a gesture of feigned crying.

"I...I was so scared just now..."

Gen Chiya: "..."

He looked at the two people behind him who, even if cured, would probably suffer from lifelong aftereffects.

Then turn your gaze back to the unharmed girl in front of you.

"Bah."

He also threw away the steel pipe he had picked up.

"Yes, I see. Would you like some taiyaki? With red bean paste filling."

The girl didn't expect him to say that. She slowly lowered her hands, which had been covering her eyes, and indeed, no tears came out.
