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

Just by standing there doing nothing, you become a human billboard and a store signboard!

Simply swirl the cocktail glass a couple of times and say a few simple words, and you can maximize the emotional value that female customers need!

We've struck gold!

The store manager's previous dejected mood vanished.

He suddenly came up with a plan that could make his shop's business explode—a truly incredible plan!

Just as men are naturally interested in rice bowls, women are probably the same way. If Sanada-san recovers from his injury and can be persuaded to bring his son along to bartend, the father and son working together would be an absolute sensation!

Unbeknownst to Yuan Qianye, the manager had already considered him a member of the bar and was seriously considering future development strategies.

He was simply moved by the store manager's sincere attitude and the offered reward, which coincided with his earlier desire to make money, which is why he was standing here.

However, as time passed, and around 8 o'clock, seeing more and more customers pouring into the bar, and the women around the bar saying increasingly suggestive things, he began to feel overwhelmed.

When a woman fully releases her grip on the accelerator, the car's speed is no slower than some experienced male drivers!

So when the opportunity arose, Gen Chiya took his leave.

Despite the sighs and reluctance of the female customers who kept trying to persuade him to stay, he resolutely took off his work clothes.

He could be late if he wanted to, but the problem was that Toka and Rokka were still waiting for him at the shop.

And for some reason, the way Shika looked at him from not far away grew colder and colder as time went on.

I guess they've been waiting for a long time and are getting impatient.

At the bar entrance, the manager took out a 10,000 yuan bill and handed it to Yuan Qianye. After thinking about how the revenue from those few hours was equivalent to several days' worth of business, he added another bill.

Gen Chiya hurriedly said no need, since the agreed price was 10,000 yen, and the manager had even brought over so many dishes from the restaurant next door for Toka and Rikka to eat as much as they wanted.

Rikka, that little foodie, was really honest and ate to her heart's content. After finishing the food, she even showed off two fruit platters!

But the store manager was adamant! He insisted that he accept it.

They even called a taxi for them and paid for the fare themselves.

As they were about to part, the shop manager, holding onto the car door, said, "Chiya-kun, please think carefully about my previous suggestion. If you have time, you can come work part-time here, and I'll pay you on the same day! When you earn some money, you can buy gifts for your sisters."

Yuan Qianye nodded, politely indicating that he would consider it.

It was already past nine o'clock when I got home.

Rikka learned something new today. She went to a bar and was in a great mood. She skipped and hopped to the bathroom to take a shower first.

In the living room, Yuan Qianye took out 20,000 from his pocket and handed it to Shihua.

Shihua didn't take it: "I don't want it. This is your own money, you can keep it yourself."

"What do you mean 'yours' and 'mine'? Aren't we family? We can use it together." Yuan Qianye stuffed the money directly into her hand.

Shihua looked at the money in her hand with mixed feelings: "You're not really planning to work at a bar after this, are you?"

Yuan Qianye nodded: "I should go if nothing unexpected happens. After all, the job isn't tiring, and the manager is generous with the pay. This will also help fill the gap in our family's income."

"And what about your studies..." Shihua stopped abruptly as she suddenly remembered that her adopted brother was a top student among top students. Her father had told her that he had been consistently ranked first in his grade since elementary school and had never fallen below that level even once!

The last time she was struggling with a high school math problem, he happened to be passing by, casually picked up a pen and wrote down a few formulas, and she instantly understood how to solve the problem!

Yuan Qianye knew what Toka was worried about: "Don't worry, even if I decide to go to work, I won't go every day. I have my own things to do. At most, I'll just show up for two days a week when I have time off."

Who's really the boss in this family...?

Shihua couldn't help but complain inwardly that she was being taken care of by her adopted brother, whom she should have been taking care of, which made her feel that she was being a very derelict in her duty as an adopted sister!

"At least, you can call your parents and discuss it with them later." This was Shihua's last act of defiance as the adopted sister.

Yuan Qianye had no objections and obediently nodded, turning on the TV to watch the news channel.

Shihua came to the kitchen, opened a bag of cookies for him, and poured him a glass of milk, bringing them over together.

That night, as Yukino was getting ready for bed, she suddenly received a message from Toka.

I feel like I've failed miserably as an adopted sister.

Ok?

Why did Qianye spend ten flowers again?

…………

047: Our family has struck it rich!

【What? I thought it was something serious. Xiao Qianye is willing to go out to work to help support the family and is even willing to give you the money she earns to manage. What an understanding, considerate, and loving brother she is!】

If you're bothered by this and don't want it, you can just give it to me. In other words, I understand you. If you say these things to others, they'll definitely think you're deliberately showing off.

Yukino saw the series of messages sent by her friend and understood the whole story. She was immediately filled with jealousy, and it was incredibly jealous.

After sending the message, Takanashi Touka remained silent for a while. Yang Nai's phone displayed "typing is in progress" several times, only to be canceled each time. In the end, she only sent a short line of text.

I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to sleep. Goodnight to everyone, except you.

Feeling upset and wanting to seek comfort from a friend, I would be happy if they could offer some advice.

But instead of being understood, Toka thought she was in Versailles, and she realized she shouldn't have told Haruno about it.

No, no, no!

Yang Nai, who was in a good mood, suddenly became anxious.

The interactions between these two adopted siblings, who are not related by blood, are so interesting that we can't let them off the hook so easily.

I know what's troubling you. It's your sense of responsibility as an adopted sister that makes you feel guilty for not being able to take good care of your adopted brother while your parents were away.

This is actually easy to resolve. He goes to work, so you go out and work too. It doesn't matter how much you earn; it'll fulfill your duty as his stepsister.

After a pause, Yang Nai added another sentence.

Of course, in my opinion, you don't need to go to that extent.

Toka ignored the message after Haruno's and only saw her previous suggestion.

The tuft of hair on his head suddenly bounced up.

Yes, you can also go and get a job.

Thank you, I understand. Goodnight~

Shihua doesn't like to add emoticons or emojis to her messages, but judging from the tilde at the end, she seems to be in a pretty good mood right now.

That's good.

You can always tell me if anything comes up in the future~ Goodnight, darling~

After finishing her conversation with Toka, Haruno suddenly thought of her younger sister who was far away in the UK.

The time difference there is eight or nine hours later than here, so it's still afternoon there. I don't think it will bother her.

So she sent a message directly, offering her greetings after a long time.

[How have you been lately, Yukino?]

Who knew that Yukino would reply almost instantly.

Is there anything I can help you with?

Yang was surprised.

Do you spend all your time staring at your phone?

Yukino from the Eagle Kingdom felt a pang of heartache for a moment.

However, she had indeed been staring at the calendar on her phone, calculating how many more days she had left before she could go back to China to see her friends, so she couldn't really argue with that.

Sister, what's wrong?

[Sister has a question for you, just as an example. If our Yukinoshita family were to fall on hard times, and our parents' income were to plummet to the point where they could no longer make ends meet, what would you do?]

With your abilities, sister, scholarships won't be a problem. I'll also work part-time to help you complete your studies. Once we both graduate and start working, everything will be alright.

She actually wants to work part-time to help her older sister!

My little Yukino is so cute!

[Also, if you can't sleep at night, you can do some moderate exercise during the day, or listen to some soothing music to relax, instead of discussing these nonsensical topics with me here.]

Yukinoshita Yono: "..."

She's just a little bit inferior to Chiyo.

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.

"You want to go out and work? No way!"

The next morning, when Chiya Minamoto and Touka Takanashi were standing together in the kitchen preparing breakfast, they heard her idea and shook their heads in rejection almost without thinking.

Shihua retorted, "Why not? You can go out and work, so why can't I?"

"We're different!"

"What's different about you? Just because you're a boy?"

"Shihua, you're really putting too much pressure on me! I'm a genuine advocate for gender equality. When I say 'different,' I mean our individual circumstances are different."

Shihua put down the dagger, placed her right hand on the stove, turned her body to the side as if to listen attentively.

Yuan Qianye explained calmly, "You'll be participating in the National Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships for the first time next semester. You're already working so hard, juggling your studies, gymnastics, and family responsibilities. How could I possibly burden you with the added responsibility of working?"

Furthermore, the normal choices for a high school student to work are nothing more than delivering newspapers, distributing flyers, working as a waiter/waitress, or working as a cashier.

Hourly wages are almost always just below the average income level, hovering around a little over 1,000 yen.

Gen Chiya is mentally an adult, so of course he can't bear to see Toka, whom he now considers family and who is still a high school student, suffer like this.

Our family hasn't reached the point of utter destitution yet.

But to be honest, even if it really came to that point, and the whole family was so poor they couldn't afford to eat, he didn't actually feel any pressure.

Over the years, he has developed and become increasingly proficient in using his Eye of God.
