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

Later, it was still Minamoto Chiyo who took the lead and had a serious talk with Chiyo. However, the specific content of the conversation was somewhat skewed in Rikka's eyes.

He didn't reprimand Chiyo for her behavior; in fact, he even expressed his approval. He simply made her promise not to bully other children, not to go against their wishes, and to try not to play that game in front of many people, especially the parents of other children.

"Brother Qianye, I understand!"

Watching Chiyo happily making a pinky promise with Chiya, Rikka worried about her younger sister's future.

In short, the matter of educating Chiyo was left unresolved.

After returning home for lunch, Chiyo took a nap with her. In the afternoon, she and Rikka played house in their courtyard, pretending that a princess in distress and a valiant knight teamed up to defeat an evil witch.

As evening approached, and seeing that it was almost time, Yuan Qianye prepared to leave after promising to take Xiao Chiyo to the aquarium next time.

"That's great, I really want to go to a dance or something." Rikka sighed softly.

Yuan Qianye corrected: "It's not a ball, it's an opening ceremony. I reckon some really boring old men will just stand on the stage and start talking nonstop. It'll definitely be very boring."

"Even so, it will eventually come to an end. If you can get through this part, there will definitely be a lot of delicious food later. Even just for that, it's worth it."

That's undeniable.

Rikka is becoming increasingly difficult to fool.

After making a promise to her that "I was invited by someone else today and it's inconvenient for me, but I will definitely bring you along when I have the chance in the future," Yuan Qianye left home.

She was still wearing her usual casual clothes, but that didn't matter.

Yoko Touma sent a message in advance, saying that she and Kazusa went to Isetan Department Store to buy clothes in preparation for tonight's event.

I saw some suitable suits along the way and thought they would suit him very well, so I couldn't resist buying him two sets as well, so he wouldn't have to prepare anything in advance and could just come over.

This shows that they don't treat him like an outsider at all.

Although something felt off, considering his long-standing relationship with the Touma family, it didn't seem to be a problem.

"Ah, Chiya, you're finally here! Kazusa has been talking about you for so long."

"Don't so casually project your own situation onto others."

"Honestly, I'm a mother too, it's no big deal to give me a little face."

The above is a conversation between the mother and daughter after Chiya Minamoto arrived at the Touma residence.

He remarked, "You two really do have a great relationship, just like always."

"Right, right~" & "What's so good about it?"

They answered almost simultaneously, but the content and tone of their replies were subtly different: the mother was enthusiastic while the daughter was indifferent.

Touma Yoko sighed, "I'm sorry, Chiyo, it must be very tiring for you to take care of my daughter like this every day at school."

Yuan Qianye just smiled, and before she could reply, Kazusa, who was saying "Mom, you're so annoying," grabbed her wrist and led her to her room.

“That’s just how my mom is, don’t mind her,” Kazusa said, crossing her arms.

"No, I actually think Aunt Yao is quite cute," Yuan Qianye replied instinctively.

He swore he really just said it offhand, without any ulterior motives whatsoever.

But he still received a look from Kazusa, who was staring at him and whose gaze suddenly became somewhat complicated.

And at one point, his gaze became somewhat similar to that of the second young lady, filled with disdain...

Yuan Qianye coughed lightly, putting his hand to his mouth. He knew that he couldn't explain at this time. The more he explained, the more suspicious people would become, and it would make them feel that he was trying to cover something up.

So he immediately moved on to the next topic: "So, Kazusa, are you going to wear this out later?"

She was wearing a simple, pure white t-shirt and neat straight-leg cropped trousers. A thin leather belt cinched her waist, highlighting her graceful figure.

For the first time, Chiya Minamoto noticed that among the girls around him, Kazusa's legs, in terms of length, seemed to be second only to Saeko's, making her an absolute model's figure.

"No, I'll change into another outfit later. This is what I just wore when I went shopping with my mom."

"You look so good even in casual clothes, Kazusa, you really are..."

"No need for such polite words, save them for praising my mother."

Kazusa looked at Minamoto Chiya's helpless sigh and smiled slightly.

Of course, I was just joking.

She turned around and went to the wardrobe, opened it, and took out two men's suits, placing them on the bed.

"Mom picked it out for you." She said, her gaze drifting slightly elsewhere. "I also gave some suggestions. Take a look and see which one you like best."

The two suits were indigo and navy blue, respectively. When Yuan Qianye held them in his hands, the texture of the fabric felt quite good, undoubtedly high-end.

"I think they're all great. Navy blue looks calm and elegant, highlighting a mature and composed side, while still maintaining a sense of style."

Gen Chiya paused, carefully observing Kazusa's expression, then picked up another item without hesitation.

"However, I still prefer the indigo blue one. The design of the cuffs and the slightly fitted waist is very nice. The blue tone combines classic and vibrant colors, and can also balance elegance and individuality. It is one of my favorite colors when it comes to clothing."

"Oh, really?" Kazusa replied calmly, but the slight pursing of her lips and the uncontrollable upward curve of her lips were clearly noticed by Chiyo.

Knew it.

The two suits were probably chosen by the mother and daughter, one for each of them.

Luckily, I suddenly realized what was happening when I picked up the clothes.

It's strange, though. Why do I feel a subtle sense of chaos in such an unrelated setting?

My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong As Expected...

"Try it on first and see."

"It's so hot outside, people should definitely take a shower before changing clothes."

Yoko pushed open the half-closed door and walked in, carrying a folded bath towel in her hand.

The sharp-eyed Yuan Qianye also noticed that there seemed to be something else tucked inside the bath towel.

"Chiyo, do you know where my bathroom is?"

Ignoring his bewildered look, Yoko simply shoved the towel into his arms and then spoke to Kazusa in a serious tone.

"The reason why I was so popular back then, besides being naturally beautiful and talented, was that I had a sincere heart that could think about others. No matter how long that sincerity lasted, it was there when it was meant to be, and it was quite easy for others to notice it."

Kazusa did not respond to this, and her mother did not meet her gaze when she approached.

She felt extremely embarrassed, her face burning red. She grabbed Yuan Qianye and quickly walked out of the room, stopping in front of the bathroom door: "I'm sorry you had to see this. My mother drank alcohol at noon."

Yuan Qianye didn't say anything, but simply reached out and patted He Sha's shoulder, feeling that she really had a tough time.

"Go take a shower, I'll bring you your change of clothes."

Yuan Qianye nodded.

Stepping into the bathroom, I unfolded the bath towel, revealing a disposable men's underwear tucked inside.

Yuan Qianye was very grateful that his future mother-in-law was so considerate of him, but he still couldn't think about it too much. The more he thought about it, the more he felt a strange sense of unease.

Soon, Gen Chiya finished showering and changed into a set of clothes that Kazusa had brought for him.

The fabric was crisp, the cut was perfect, and it fit unexpectedly well.

He stood in front of the mirror, straightened his collar and cuffs, and then walked out of the bathroom.

In the living room, Touma and her daughter had already changed into their formal attire.

The mother was adjusting the hem of her daughter's skirt, who seemed rather uncomfortable.

As he approached, his eyes revealed an uncontrollable amazement, of course, because of his daughter.

Kazusa was exceptionally dazzling and captivating today. She wore a simple, jet-black silk gown, her long hair elegantly styled with a few wisps falling beside her cheeks, and her lips tinged with a soft, rosy hue.

What's most striking is her fair neck and collarbone, which contrast sharply with the color of her dress. They are as graceful as a swan's, making Yuan Qianye, who is staring at her intently, want to bite down on them and leave his own mark.

"See? I told you it was worth taking the time to choose. You were complaining before, saying it was a waste of time."

Yoko's tone was full of smugness, but there was also a clear hint of mockery.

"...long-winded."

Kazusa quickly turned her head to the side, but this action could only hide some of her facial expression, not her gradually reddening ear tips.

Yoko gazed tenderly at her most prized masterpiece, then turned to Minamoto Chiyo, waving with a smile.

"Alright, stop standing there like idiots, come over here and lean against each other so I can see if you two are a good match."

There seems to be something wrong with that statement...

But Yuan Qianye wasn't a straight man enough to nitpick at this moment.

He obediently walked over and stood beside Kazusa.

Yoko walked to the other side and pushed Kazusa's waist, bringing the two closer together.

The two figures are reflected in the mirror on the living room's feature wall.

One was tall and handsome, the other was aloof and stunningly beautiful; they were a perfect match, as if made in heaven.

Yoko stared intently at the two of them, took a deep breath, then gently clapped her hands, her smile becoming unbelievably gentle. But the next moment, she suddenly uttered something blatantly offensive.

"I said, why don't you two just get married now?"

Chapter 102: Reunion with Mrs. Hayasaka

7 PM, Ginza, Chuo Ward.

In the heart of a glittering, luxurious commercial district, a six-story building covered with a black glass curtain wall stands quietly.

Beneath its modern, austere lines, the "Luminous" nightclub officially opened tonight.

"Alright, Kazusa, Chiya, we've arrived," Yoko said gently, looking out the car window.

The store was already packed with people, and waiters in black uniforms were maintaining order.

The red carpet was packed with elegantly dressed guests and passersby who stopped to watch.

As far as the eye can see, one can even catch a glimpse of several familiar faces that often appear on television screens.

In addition, behind the roadside trees not far away and across the street, the reflections of several hidden cameras were also quietly aimed at this bustling entrance.

Yuan Qianye nodded and silently observed the scene, realizing that his expectations were wrong.
