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

However, considering Shiyu's frail physique and Eriri's lack of experience in this area, he was worried that he might frighten her.

Most importantly, and also because she was worried about waking up the only two people who slept peacefully at night, Yuan Qianye held back somewhat.

However, perhaps due to the special environment and atmosphere today, and some psychological changes, Shi Yu's performance this time was even more embarrassing than before.

The queen-like demeanor she had displayed earlier crumbled within minutes, her body limp as if she had just soaked in a hot spring, and her head spinning.

Even so, her stubbornness made her remain defiant.

Realizing the situation was turning against her, Shiyu had no choice but to announce a break and unleash her ultimate weapon for the night.

Whether we can turn the tide depends on this.

"Wait for Chiya... wait a moment... let me rest for a while."

"If it works, it works; if it doesn't, it doesn't. What's wrong with taking a break?"

"I'll be done soon, just listen to me first!"

Yuan Qianye didn't want to listen.

But as Shiyu reiterated his actions that day, he sighed helplessly, realizing he was in the wrong, and could only comply with her wishes to stop for the time being.

As for Shi Yu, after calming her heartbeat slightly, she reached out shakily to the side to confirm what she had grabbed.

"Qianye, step aside first."

"What's wrong now?"

"Something came up..."

"what's up?"

"Alright, stop asking so many questions, just do as I say now!" Because she was too embarrassed about what was about to be done, Shi Yu's words were tinged with annoyance.

"..." Yuan Qianye had no choice but to comply.

Then, he heard a faint sound of some kind of plastic packaging being torn open.

Uh-huh?!

Yuan Qianye suddenly sensed something was wrong that was more than ten or even nine-tenths as he had ever felt before.

"How do you feel? Have you noticed anything different?" After everything was ready, Shiyu asked knowingly, her tone carrying a clear sense of playful teasing.

"Wait, Shiyu, could this be..."

"That's right, it's the one you're thinking of, but I put it on you inside out. I heard it's very comfortable, so you don't need to thank me."

Gen Chiya: "???"

How despicable!

Instead of practicing more or learning more from Saeko about the relevant techniques, he uses external means to put a debuff on his side!

"Are you some kind of medieval witch? Why are you doing such self-destructive things?!"

"You've always prided yourself on being really good, so what? You're not good enough for this level?"

Shi Yu's contemptuous and obvious provocation worked immediately.

Yuan Qianye chuckled.

You think I'm no good? Fine, then I'll show you whether I am or not.

They dare to show off their trivial skills before an expert.

He was still somewhat hesitant about various aspects, so he planned to skip tonight and just play a respectable friendly match.

But since she has resorted to such underhanded tactics that violate the spirit of sportsmanship, and is even smug about it, displaying a smug and self-satisfied attitude, then it seems there is no need for him to hold back.

"Saeko-nee, can we stop talking about this?"

Eriri's voice was weak and feeble; she was on the verge of a breakdown!

The plot next door has officially entered its final stage, with one climax after another, and I'm still being "harassed" by Saeko-nee, whom I've always respected.

My brain is completely confused; all sorts of complex emotions are rushing in all at once, and I don't know how to manage them properly.

In addition to that, I also feel quite unwell physically!

The hotel suite had an air purification system, but even so, Eriri felt that the air inside was frighteningly stuffy and somewhat suffocating because of her terrible condition.

Even though I had soaked in the hot spring and washed myself thoroughly with hot water the night before, my body still felt sticky, and the room seemed to be filled with a faint dampness!

Based on the above, Eriri truly felt that she couldn't take any more stimulation!

She didn't care how much she cooked herself, but she really didn't want the air to smell of squid!

"Okay, then I won't talk about this anymore."

“Um… Saeko-nee…”

"Ok?"

"And hands..."

"Ah, sorry." Saeko quickly withdrew her hand from Eriri's lower abdomen.

As the warm touch left, Eriri breathed a sigh of relief: "I told you, Saeko-nee, you don't need to apologize. It's not that I hate it... I'm just not used to it."

"That being said, I did cross the line. I guess Eriri would rather have the person she likes touch her body than me."

"!!!" Eriri's flawless, fair skin bled in the dim light: "No! That's not it!"

"I misspoke. Let's not talk about that. But after tonight, I feel much closer to Eriri. I feel like I can finally tell her what's on my mind. Can I tell you?"

Should we choose this awkward time?

Eriri really wanted to say no, but suggested that Saeko-nee should go back to her room first, and they could talk privately at a more suitable time and in a more relaxed atmosphere tomorrow.

But Eriri, being shy, couldn't bring herself to give a straightforward rejection.

For some reason, the sounds from next door have stopped, and those suggestive noises have ceased for the time being.

The timing seems pretty good.

Forget it, I'd better let Saeko-nee finish speaking quickly. After she's done, I'll make an excuse that I'm sleepy and need to go to bed, and then I'll get her to leave as soon as possible.

As for what she'll do alone after that, or change her clothes or something... we'll see when the time comes.

Eriri silently convinced herself of this and replied softly, "Okay."

Saeko calmly said, "I have to be honest with you first. From the very beginning, I've been trying to bring you and Chiya together."

"Um……"

Eriri knew this, because Saeko never intended to hide it from her.

Her specific actions, once observed, make it easy to deduce her true intentions without much thought.

Strictly adhering to the principle of "green self-discipline" is far too obvious...

Compared to Saeko's purpose, Eriri was more concerned about why Saeko had such thoughts.

The same applies to the relationship between Shiwa and Chiya...

When Eriri first found out that the fat woman had somehow gotten together with Chiya, she was both angry and furious, but mostly confused.

Why would Saeko agree with this, and even subtly maintain a friendly attitude of agreement?

Eriri herself couldn't figure it out and even wanted to discuss it with Yukino.

However, because this topic was too sensitive and could very likely anger Yukino, she kept it to herself and didn't say anything until today, and she still hasn't received a concrete answer.

At that moment, Saeko seemed to suddenly gain the ability to read minds: "I guess Eriri, you must be quite concerned about why I did this."

"I do care a little." Eriri used a more subtle way of putting it, but she actually cared a lot, a lot! She didn't know how many nights she had tossed and turned, thinking about what Saeko had said to her, until very late before finally falling asleep!

"I should have told you this sooner, but since it involves personal privacy and I hadn't received confirmation before tonight, it was really difficult to bring it up. I can only ask for your understanding."

"Confirm...confirm what?" Eriri's embarrassment radar went off.

"Eri, you did cross your legs just now, didn't you?"

"!?"

"And it wasn't just simple; it was also accompanied by some mutual rubbing..."

"!!!"

Eriri covered Saeko's mouth with her hand.

Saeko understood, and gently patted Eriri's hand, indicating that she would not continue.

After Eriri let go of her hand, she continued, "Anyway, after I officially confirmed your feelings, Eriri, I felt that there were some things I could tell you without any problem. To put it simply..."

Saeko took a deep breath, reorganized her thoughts, and slowly began to speak: "...Even though Chiya had both me and Shiyu at the same time, he was still in a state of unsatisfied desire."

Just as she finished speaking, before Eriri could even ponder the deeper meaning behind her words, a very abrupt "Gurgle—!" sound suddenly came from the next room.

The sound clearly came from Kasumigaoka, and then, whether it was a quick reaction and a cover-up or something else, it abruptly stopped!

Because the sound was indeed quite distinct, more so than any previous noise.

So Saeko and Eriri on this side also tensed up instantly.

Eriri immediately pulled a thin blanket over herself, and Saeko immediately followed suit, the two of them standing very close and temporarily stopping their whispering.

Rikka didn't react at all, but Yukino's tightly closed eyelids twitched slightly. However, there were no more strange noises, and she didn't fully wake up. She quickly fell back into a deep sleep.

The suite remained quiet for over a minute before the two people huddled together dared to slowly peek their heads out from under the thin blanket.

"Honestly, doesn't that guy have any shame at all!" Eriri complained softly, referring, of course, to Kasumigaoka Utaha!

Saeko explained softly, "Actually, you can't blame her, because Chiya is really amazing, and that's what I want to tell you next."

"Regarding Qianye's desires... unfulfilled desires?"

"Well, I think it's more intuitive for you to confirm it with your own eyes than for me to tell you."

As Saeko finished speaking, she gestured for Eriri to turn around and look again.

"!"

This time, even though Eriri was somewhat prepared, she was still so surprised by what she saw that she couldn't utter a sound.
