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

Everyone at the scene was screaming and celebrating!

Except for... except for those three who raised their hands in celebration but didn't say a word.

Yuan Qianye stared at the three of them, and finally realized something was wrong.

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.

"Losing... losing their voice!?"

Upon hearing the doctor's diagnosis, Yuan Qianye's eyes widened.

Saeko Busujima, who was standing next to him, also looked worried.

"Don't worry, this is just a temporary situation caused by the vocal cords being overloaded for a short period of time."

Compared to the two of them, the doctor seemed quite calm, throwing the popsicle stick used to press down on his tongue into the trash can and typing out a prescription on his computer.

"How could someone suddenly lose their voice when they were perfectly fine?"

"It's not surprising. These days, young girls are more and more blindly devoted to their idols. They shout at the scene... oh, that's called cheering, and they shout louder and louder. Last time, someone even had their throat bleeding."

The Takanashi sisters and Eriri were clearly identified by the doctor as the kind of fanatical fangirls.

However, based on their experience today, the doctor was half right.

They weren't supporting any celebrities, but their own family and friends.

"Rikka Kotori, her throat is the most serious. I just saw that it was obviously very swollen. I prescribed her some medicine and told her to take it according to the instructions."

Also, avoid eating raw, cold, or spicy foods for the next few days, and don't try to talk. In short, rest quietly for a few days.

Don't abuse your voice like that anymore. It's okay if it recovers occasionally, but if you keep doing this, your voice might become low and hoarse in the future, and that would be a real problem.

Rikka, blushing as the doctor gave her instructions, couldn't express her gratitude verbally, so she stood up from her seat and bowed to the doctor.

Looking at her from the side, Yuan Qianye felt both amused and heartbroken.

If you're cheering from the stands, just cheer! Why go to such lengths?

"Takanashi Touka and Sawamura Spencer Eriri, they are in a slightly better condition, but like Takanashi Rikka, they should avoid eating anything indiscriminately these few days and try to speak as little as possible."

"...Thank you, doctor."

"...Thank you for your help, doctor."

Eriri and Toka both spoke with difficulty at the same time, their hoarse and dark voices causing Minamoto Chiya, who was listening nearby, to twitch his eyelids wildly.

The elegant and soothing voice that used to make him feel so comfortable was gone.

Eriri's energetic and adorable voice, which always brought a smile to his face, also disappeared.

This is all because of the sins he committed!

The Takanashi sisters and Eriri walked out of the hospital with their heads down.

It is now 7:40, and it is completely dark outside.

I imagine that at this very moment, the rest of the Kendo Club members have already started their self-service celebration, probably eating with gusto and having a great time!

Saeko Busujima's phone rang at that moment. She took it out, glanced at it, said something to the others, and went to the side to answer the call.

Toka came to Minamoto Chiya's side and gently nudged him with her elbow: "Chiya, I'm sorry..."

Hearing her voice, which sounded like she was about to send him away, Yuan Qianye felt a pang of sympathy: "Shihua, the doctor told you to talk less. You should just type on your phone."

"...!!!"

Shihua rolled her eyes at him; she could tell that Qianye simply didn't like the way she was speaking at that moment.

If you're so disgusted just because someone's voice is hoarse, what if something else happens?

As expected, this kid is heartless! Who do you think caused me to become like this?!

Unexpectedly, he sighed softly the next moment, his expression turning helpless, but his eyes were exceptionally gentle: "If Dad, Mom, Uncle, and Aunt knew that you had become like this, they would be heartbroken."

As he said this, he casually peeled off the medicated patch that he had just received at the hospital and applied to his neck.

Without waiting to go back, he tore it open now, gesturing for Shihua, who was closest to him, to look up first, and he helped her put the patch on.

He also personally affixed the stickers to Rikka and Eriri, one after another.

"...But thank you so much for today. My senior and I were able to perform so well during the competition because we heard your cheers. There is no doubt that you also contributed to our victory today."

Shihua hummed in a sound she could hear herself and turned away.

Eriri felt a little ashamed, after all, she only abandoned all pride and shouted loudly when Minamoto Chiyo was competing for the championship.

Unlike Rikka, who was delivering her full performance from beginning to end, otherwise her voice wouldn't be the most severely affected, and she wouldn't be unable to speak at all now.

Rikka didn't think too much about it. After being affirmed by Minamoto Chiyo, she felt that everything she had done had value. The help she gave him outweighed the trouble, and that was enough!

By the way, shouldn't we go eat? I drank a lot of water today, but only ate a small piece of bread, so I'm really hungry now.

She took out her phone and typed these words for Yuan Qianye to see, while constantly touching her lower abdomen.

Yuan Qianye chuckled: "Alright, let's go eat right away. You three are the heroes today, so you can choose the place to eat."

It's a bit of a pity. We should have followed my original plan. We went with the teacher to a fancy buffet first, maybe we could even eat lobster, and then came to the hospital after we were full.

"Don't worry about that. The teacher told me to keep the bill from dinner tonight and give it to him later so he can get reimbursed by the school."

"Really? Let's go to a Western restaurant then, I want steak!"

"The doctor just said you can't eat spicy food."

[It's okay, just ask the restaurant not to put black pepper in the steak! Let's go eat steak, Chiya! I haven't had steak in ages!]

Rikka was so excited to persuade her that her fingertips tapped frantically, making several mistakes.

Seeing that one person's strength was limited, she pulled Eriri along to help.

Unable to speak, they could only send pleading, pitiful glances at him, conveying a sense of pleading and pleas.

"You can't order spicy food, and you can only drink hot beverages."

This can be considered a compromise on his part.

Rikka took Eriri's hand and gave her a cheerful high five.

At this moment, Toka came to stand in front of Minamoto Chiya and looked at him with her eyes slightly lowered.

Yuan Qianye understood what she meant and shrugged: "She's the youngest in the family, who else should we spoil if not her?"

Saeko Busujima hung up the phone and walked back with a thoughtful expression.

Rikka happily held up her phone to tell her the good news that everyone would be going out for steak later.

She smiled gently and dealt with the situation simply, then looked at Yuan Qianye.

During this period, they spent most of their time together because of kendo, and they were both teacher and friend.

Therefore, there is no need to say much; a simple expression and eye contact can convey a simple meaning.

"What happened, senior?"

"It's not exactly an accident..."

Saeko Busujima thought about it and decided to tell the truth.

"...That call was from my father. He came to the venue this afternoon to watch the finals, but he had something come up and left without saying goodbye."

He's finished with his work and hasn't had a meal yet, so he thought he'd invite us to have dinner together.

Busujima's father...

Seeing that Chiya was deep in thought, Saeko Busujima thought he was in a dilemma and quickly said, "Of course, I haven't agreed to my father yet. It's already a bit strange for an elder like him to have dinner with us. Don't worry about him, we can just go have dinner by ourselves. I'll meet with him alone later."

But Yuan Qianye shook his head: "How can we do that? After all, it's an invitation from an elder, and we don't have anything important to do right now, so how can we refuse?"

Furthermore, he was quite curious about the kind of person the man who could raise such an outstanding woman as Saeko Busujima.

[Exactly! Since it's the school treating, it's a good opportunity for the senior's dad to eat more too!]

Rikka's words eased the atmosphere considerably.

Seeing that they genuinely didn't mind and weren't being forced, Saeko Busujima dialed her father's number again.

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.

Gen Chiya and his group of five took two taxis and arrived at the restaurant that Saeko Busujima's father had mentioned.

Unlike typical restaurants located on busy streets or inside shopping malls.

The restaurant they had arrived at was located in a quiet villa area far from the city center.

After getting off the car, a waiter who had been waiting for them led them into the store.

This is clearly a high-end, reservation-only restaurant. The sign outside is not much bigger than a typical household sign, but the interior decoration is very sophisticated and stylish.

Rikka had never been to a place like this before. She walked at the back and leaned close to Eriri, typing on her phone to show her her amazement.

Because of her cute appearance, she didn't have that awkward feeling of a country bumpkin visiting a grand garden. Eriri, being a girl herself, thought she was innocent and romantic, no wonder Chiya took such good care of her.

Although Minamoto no Chiya and Touka were like Rikka, they were both more composed than her.

They passed through the public area of ​​the front hall and came to a quiet cubicle in the backyard.

Saeko Busujima's father had been waiting there for a long time.

Upon seeing his daughter, he laughed heartily and stretched out his arms.

Saeko Busujima had clearly not seen her father for some time, and she went over to hug him warmly before introducing him to both sides.

"Everyone, this is my father, Tokushima Daitaka."

"Father, they are my good friends..."

"Uncle Busujima, hello..."

"Haha, hello everyone, welcome, welcome! My Saeko has been well taken care of by you all!"

After polite greetings, everyone took their seats.

Taking this opportunity, Chiya also carefully examined Saeko Busujima's father, Daitaka Busujima.

This is a man with an exaggerated physique. He has broad shoulders and well-developed muscles. Even when he sits cross-legged, he looks like a small mountain. Judging from his appearance, he is at least 1.85 meters tall when he stands up.
