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

Eriri held Rikka's arm the whole time, which was in line with her usual character and didn't make Yukino feel that there was anything wrong with it.

In fact, Saeko taught her this move.

Saeko was well aware of Eriri's inability to hide her feelings, which is why she specifically advised her that if she didn't want Yukino to keep questioning her and reveal her secrets, she should try to avoid being alone with Eriri in the future. The way to achieve this was not to avoid her, as that would be unnatural.

Therefore, the best option is to bring someone over to avoid this situation, and Rikka is the most suitable choice. The three of them are inseparable at school because they are all members of the Service Club, so there will be no problem.

There's another advantage to doing this, which can be considered Saeko's little scheme.

Eriri linked arms with Rikka and Yukino, while Utaha stayed at the inn to rest because of last night's battle. So she could legitimately stay by Chiya's side.

Although they weren't alone together, a slight sense of distance still existed between the two small teams that had been separated within a small group.

It wasn't in Tokyo, but in a small seaside town. Without having to worry about paparazzi, she could openly hold Chiya's hand and spend time with him as a couple in public, which made her very happy.

In the morning, Gen Chiya took them by boat to the Blue Cave near the Pure Land.

The cave is quite low, so only small fishing boats can enter.

Yuan Qianye and his group were very lucky. There were very few tourists here today, and they easily found a local fisherman offering them a job.

This is a female fisherwoman, who looks to be over thirty years old, with dark skin, and she looks very healthy.

She slowly steered her small boat, leading Yuan Qianye and his group into the cave.

Because the guest was generous and gave an extra tip, she provided extra explanations in a very courteous manner throughout the journey.

Because of the extremely high transparency of the seawater, the water inside the cave is as green as jade, giving people a very magical feeling. The photos taken as a result also have an unreal feel, but the scenery is indeed quite beautiful.

Rikka and Eriri listened to the fisherman's advice and came to the side of the boat to curiously reach out and touch the blue seawater. They even took off their shoes and socks and put their little feet in.

Yukino was initially unwilling to do this, but after being repeatedly persuaded by Rikka and Eriri, and with Saeko joining in, she still couldn't bring herself to sit down next to them.

After Yukino warned Chiya not to look around, she carefully took off her shoes and socks and sat down on the edge of the boat with him.

At first she was rather reserved, but she was quickly infected by Rikka and the others, and her fair little feet began to swing happily in the seawater.

Given this situation, how could Yuan Qianye not take a look?

Not only do they want to look at it, but they also want to take out their phones to record it.

Standing at the bow of the boat, I took a picture of the four girls' beautiful faces—Rikka's cheerfulness, Eriri's shyness, Saeko's tranquility, Yukino's slight annoyance—and their delicate feet swaying on the clear water. The most beautiful scene was captured in a vivid way.

"It's so beautiful inside, it was definitely worth the trip!" Rikka, who had just emerged from the Blue Cave, looked up at the clear blue sky and stretched.

"Yes, it was worth the trip." Yuan Qianye looked down at the photos on his phone and smiled in response.

Yukino stopped in front of Minamoto Chiya and said, "Delete it."

Yuan Qianye asked, puzzled, "What?"

Yukino blushed slightly: "About the photos you just took, about me..."

Yuan Qianye hesitated for a moment, as if considering: "Ten million."

This time it was Yukino's turn to be confused: "What?"

Yuan Qianye showed her his phone: "The artistic value of these photos is at least ten million. Give me that much money, and I can consider your request."

Yukino's request was rejected, and she had no choice but to leave behind a meaningless "rogue" as her last act of resistance before helplessly returning to the girls.

After finishing here, it was still early, so the group went to the nearby seaside promenade and climbed the observation deck for a panoramic view.

Time quickly passed and it was past noon.

“…Oh, really? Then remember to finish your lunch before continuing to rest.” Saeko hung up the phone and explained to everyone, “Shiyu wants to sleep a little longer. She had lunch at the hotel and told us not to worry about her.”

Yuan Qianye nodded: "Okay, then let's go find a place to eat ourselves."

We chose to have lunch at the Jodohama Park Hotel, which was just a short walk away.

The local specialties include seafood hot pot, shrimp, crab, and sea urchin.

After lunch, Yuan Qianye, who was in charge of the trip arrangements, did not rush to continue the journey under the midday sun, but instead booked a fish spa room for everyone.

In fact, Chiyo had originally wanted to book a spa room, but Eriri and Yukino, especially Yukino, were very resistant to strangers touching her body, even female spa therapists. So in the end, he had to settle for second best and let Uo come.

It turned out quite well. Since it was their first time experiencing such a novel activity, the girls were filled with laughter and joy the moment they put their feet into the pool.

After that, the fish spa ended, and everyone lay down on the sofa for a short nap to recharge for the afternoon's activities.

Half an hour later, Eriri, who was half asleep, was suddenly gently shaken on the arm.

She turned her head and met Saeko's silent gaze, which was pointing towards the balcony inside the room.

With just one glance, Eriri understood that some things, if they were meant to happen... were bound to happen.

…………

Volume 2: Chapter 145: I will prove it to you

Eriri imitated Saeko's movements and quietly walked out of the room.

She stood on the balcony, feeling uneasy.

She closed the glass door and looked back. Good, Rikka and Chiya were both asleep.

Yukino, who doesn't usually take a nap, has closed her eyes to recover her strength, probably because she's been running around all morning.

No one can disturb them.

The air on the balcony carried the warmth of the sun's rays, and the temperature was noticeably higher.

However, being a seaside town, a refreshing sea breeze was blowing, gently lifting her hair and skirt, bringing a touch of coolness that offset most of the summer heat, making it not too unbearable.

Most importantly, since last night, the two of them have finally been able to be alone again and continue the conversation they hadn't finished last night.

How exactly did it end last night?

Oh right, Qianye's "little water ball" rolled to the vicinity of the door crack. After a full ten seconds of stunned silence, she finally realized what that pink, bouncy little ball that seemed to be emitting heat was!

To be honest, Eriri is no stranger to this situation.

Beneath her outward student identity lies a creator with extensive experience in a specific field.

She has drawn such objects many times, and considering that in order to make the content of her works more closely resemble the theme of humiliation that she has always liked, she will also use some popular methods, styles and content in the industry to highlight the impact on readers.

Including but not limited to straw mouthpiece, dazed eyes, M-shaped squatting posture, feminization, and almost broken facial features... This also includes Eriri! ...What she witnessed last night!

This is similar to the practice in many civilizations and periods throughout human history of cutting off the ears of enemies and tying them to their waists as trophies.

In Eriri's works, she would deliberately depict the male protagonist placing his spoils on the female protagonist.

It devotes considerable space to depicting various details, emphasizing the quantity and variety of spoils, to showcase the significant tension between the plot and the visuals.

But... but!

Even when she's creating virtual works and letting her imagination run wild, she doesn't feel she can reach the level that Qianye could achieve last night!

To sum it up in one sentence, it's far too conservative.

The first is time.

To get straight to the point, Saeko came to see her around midnight. After Saeko left and Chiya carried the fat woman back to her room to rest, the noise in the room subsided. She buried her head in the blankets and glanced at the time; it was already past 3 a.m.

Secondly, there's the number of times.

Eriri remembers clearly that subtle "thud" sound, as if something had fallen to the ground, which occurred a total of three times last night!

Eriri felt that the three times should only be a minor limitation imposed by the net content of the biological components' factory packaging.

As we all know, the small square boxes displayed prominently on store shelves are usually common small-sized packages suitable for short-term use.

As for why Eriri knows so much, most things about creators can be explained by their research.

And then the last point... and the most important point!

The so-called... quantity!

This quantity can be interpreted as mass or weight...

That's so exaggerated that it far, far, far, far exceeds Eriri's imagination as a creator!

It's so exaggerated that she doesn't even dare to draw such overly rounded lines when she's drawing, for fear that readers will scold her for drawing balloons as a comedic comic!

"Ugh...!!!"

Just as Saeko was considering how to start the conversation, Eriri suddenly covered her face with both hands in extreme embarrassment! She shook her head, her golden twin tails swaying wildly in the air, completely disheveled!

Just recalling that scene now fills her with such shame that it feels like her soul is leaving her body! She's practically ascending to heaven!

Regarding last night, the balloon bounced and landed, and coincidentally rolled over.

Eriri's reaction was one of utter astonishment, leaving her completely petrified.

Saeko reached out her hand, and by the time Eriri noticed, it was too late!

She could only watch helplessly as Saeko reached out her finger, hooked it, and slowly pulled it back.

She dared not utter a sound or stop them, and could only watch silently, afraid that Qianye would notice.

Fortunately, the worst did not happen, and everything went smoothly.

Saeko is a master swordsman, and her strength and skill in the hand are frighteningly steady.

Eriri has a particularly vivid memory of that scene; during the pull-back, the narrow door gap was even squeezed open a little wider.

When Saeko successfully obtained her heavy trophy, she held it up in front of Eriri and showed it to her, while speaking in a very serious tone about some rather unserious scientific facts.

To allow her to better understand the temperature and quality, they even brought the equipment closer to demonstrate it, letting her feel and observe more details.

During this time, Eriri stammered and declined, after all, no matter what, the scene and the plot at that time were too bizarre!

Even with her twisted brain as a creator of adult content, she couldn't have come up with such an outrageous plot!

For a fleeting moment, she even wondered if she herself was living in a world created by an extremely gentlemanly and extremely wicked God, otherwise how could she explain everything she was experiencing?!

But during that process, she still couldn't resist Saeko's enthusiasm.

Or rather, her will to refuse wasn't that strong to begin with.

She never imagined that the scripts she wrote about those mad heroines who fell into the abyss would one day materialize into her own life.

The smell is so unique, it's making my head spin...

It feels like her experience last night is like a setting in Qianye's novel, called "thought imprint," and that part of the memory will always be firmly in the most secure place in her mind, something she will never be able to forget for the rest of her life.

As Eriri became lost in her own memories and fell into confusion again, Saeko watched her in surprise.
