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

As she said this, she almost started singing.

Yuan Qianye looked disgusted.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Get out of here before I change my mind."

"I'm leaving, I'm leaving, hehehe~"

"Wait, take this with you too."

"Okay, Master!"

Rikka, grinning, grabbed the clothes hanger and skipped away.

Seeing her younger sister's reaction, Toka was not surprised at all and shook her head with a light laugh.

Just spoil her...

In the room, after Rikka left, Gen Chiya opened the French windows and took a deep breath of fresh air.

Following Shiyu, Eriri, who came to visit today, also asked him to do her a favor.

Very simple.

She recounted how she had heard about Utaha's request from Rikka, and felt it couldn't be more coincidental.

Actually, as a comic creator, she recently had the idea of ​​drawing a pure love short comic, the kind without any color, just simply depicting the bittersweet feelings between lovers.

Eriri felt that the idea for the source material proposed by Utaha and the timing of her drafting the new manga were too coincidental, they just happened to coincide.

Having been active in the industry as a doujinshi artist, she could take this opportunity to observe how the couple interacted while pretending to be lovers, so that the details of her newly drawn romance comics would be more realistic.

Of course, Eriri, who made this request, didn't say it so directly; in fact, she stuttered and hesitated several times while speaking.

But that's the gist of it.

She felt that if it wouldn't be too much trouble, she hoped Qianye could help her with this favor.

Eriri kept a very humble attitude throughout.

When asked about her request, Yuan Qianye only thought about it briefly before agreeing to it.

When Shiyu finds out later, she probably won't be happy...

But there was nothing he could do. He had seen how Eriri had taken care of his previous novel, staying up all night to create such exquisite scene and character illustrations.

For this reason, and also because he had previously told Eriri, "Don't hesitate to ask me for help anytime if you need anything."

It's only natural that he would agree.

Of course, this is only part of the reasoning behind Eriri's considerations.

Most importantly, it really is...

Yuan Qianye took out his phone and glanced at the time.

After a quick calculation of the time difference, I concluded that it was noon where Yukino was.

If Eriri already knows, then without a doubt, Yukino, who is so close to her, must also know.

Therefore, it's hard to say that Eriri's actions today weren't influenced by Yukino's advice or direction.

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Qianye sent over a cute picture of a kitten.

No rush, let's test the waters first.

There's no reply yet, that's normal; she can't be looking at her phone all the time.

Yuan Qianye wasn't in a hurry. He went downstairs to take a shower and came back to check his messages. They had been marked as read five minutes ago, but he still hadn't received a reply.

Sometimes, the lack of reaction is precisely what conveys a certain attitude.

This is a bit tricky...

Yuan Qianye was also able to conclude from this that his previous idea was correct.

After all, it's unlikely that Miss Yukinoshita would be so rude without any reason.

Messages are also a form of social interaction, and the education she received from childhood did not allow her to do something so rude.

So, as expected, she must be angry after learning about her relationship with Utaha from Eriri...

Realizing this, Gen Chiya felt slightly troubled, but also subtly happy.

how to say.

The Second Miss's petty and narrow-minded behavior is one of her endearing qualities.

Thinking back to kindergarten and first and second grade, when her mind was not yet fully developed, she would often see her showing dissatisfaction when some girls took the initiative to play with her.

Her way of expressing her unhappiness in this situation was simple: she would take a book, walk to a secluded place, and quietly read without saying a word.

As she grew older and matured, Yuan Qianye rarely saw his childhood friend show such a cute side anymore.

This is truly something we haven't seen in a long time.

Having known each other for so many years, Minamoto Chiya knows Yukino very well.

He has his own effective way of dealing with the Second Miss's unhappy state in this situation.

Yukino Yukinoshita can maintain a cool and aloof demeanor towards others, but that doesn't apply to him.

[Yuan Qianye: Kitty...]

Just as Minamoto Chiya had thought, Yukino Yukinoshita was not in the mood to chat with him at the moment.

Just thinking about studying alone in a foreign country, in such an open environment as Da Ying, and ignoring all the advances and advances from boys and even girls, rejecting them all without giving them any attention.

Meanwhile, in China, Yuan Qianye was being pestered by that beautiful light novel author, and even agreed to her obviously unreasonable and even somewhat excessive requests.

Even if it was well-intentioned, she found it unacceptable.

Moreover, there's no way to confirm that he was genuinely just being kind and had no ulterior motives...

For various reasons, Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the cute cat pictures popping up on her phone screen one after another. Although her cold expression softened and she felt a little healed, she remained unmoved.

Until... until a GIF of cats mating suddenly popped up on her phone screen.

The innocent second young lady had never seen such a scene before.

Like someone who couldn't hold their liquor but kept drinking, a blush suddenly crept up from their neck to their earlobes.

A picture of cats mating alone wouldn't have caused such damage.

The problem is that this message was sent by Chiya Minamoto, who is of the opposite sex.

His intention in sending such a picture is quite intriguing.

While Yukino was pondering, the second and third GIFs followed one after another.

Yukino had no choice but to mutter "shameless guy" under her breath and make a voice call.

The moment the call connected, her face flushed, she spoke in a voice that was both calm and serious.

"Yuan Qianye, what exactly do you want?"

"Ah, you finally replied! I must have needed to talk to you about something, why haven't you been replying to me?"

"..."

Yukino didn't want to answer him.

The guy who asks questions he already knows the answer to.

As soon as Eriri stepped out of the Minamoto family's gate, she immediately shared all the good news about the victory she had achieved.

Yukino put herself in Chiya's shoes and didn't think he was unaware of anything.

What's more, they hadn't been in contact for over ten days, and now they're suddenly reaching out, unusually sending so many pictures.

What a coincidence!

"Why aren't you saying anything? Is the signal bad?"

"Say what you need to say quickly."

"Haha, who upset you? You sound really angry. How about this, I'll do a magic trick to cheer you up. Do you believe that just from those few words I just said, plus my past knowledge of you, I can accurately guess your exact outfit and color combination today?"

"Phew..." Yukino sighed helplessly, not caring whether he believed it or not, just taking it as him simply making conversation.

Just as I was about to say, "Stop messing around," Yuan Qianye quickly spoke up first.

"Today you're wearing a beige knitted cardigan over a white long-sleeved shirt with a blue ribbon tied in a bow at the collar. You're also wearing a striped skirt in alternating white, brown, and gray, with black stockings that go past your knees and probably have white accents on the tops. As for your shoes... well, they should be black round-toed leather shoes."

Am I right?

"...!"

Yukino slowly opened her eyes and looked at herself, then froze in place.

…………

Please take one day off.

My child has a Children's Day activity tonight, and I need to attend, so I need to take a day off.

Chapter 188: The Little Darling and the First Wife (7000 words) (13/15)

Yukino, inexplicably, remained frozen in place.

Almost all of them were correct!

The reason I say "almost" is because what Chiya said about the shoes at the end was incorrect.

She wasn't wearing round-toe leather shoes today, but rather low-top Doc Martens.
