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

Rikka's heart sank upon hearing this, and she struggled more fiercely: "No to that kind of thing, sister! You said it yourself! School starts in a few days!"

"This will allow you to focus on your studies in the future. Please accept my heartfelt thanks for your kindness."

"You're not my sister, you're a devil!"

Shika glanced at Yuan Qianye, who was laughing incessantly to the side, and glared at him coldly: "What are you laughing at? I'm not joking."

"Sister Shihua, please give me face and let her go this time. If this happens again, you don't need to come; I'll deal with her myself, okay?"

Although Yuan Qianye is a few years younger than her, when he gets serious, he really has the composure and convincing demeanor of an elder, which unconsciously makes people believe in him.

Shihua fell silent.

He pressed his advantage, feigning seriousness: "Rikka, aren't you going to apologize to your sister?"

Rikka immediately cooperated, looking pitiful: "Sister, I was wrong, I'll never do it again..."

Toka loosened her grip a little, and at that moment, Gen Chiya seized the opportunity, grabbed Toka's wrist, and pulled her off Rokka, giving her a way out.

Tohka narrowed her eyes at her younger sister: "If this happens again..."

Rikka answered almost instantly: "There won't be a next time!"

Gen Chiya waved goodbye, saying, "Go back to sleep."

Rikka, now free and instructed by Minamoto no Chiya, immediately lowered her head and ran back to her room.

Even after she left, Shihua maintained a stern expression, her hands on her hips, appearing cold, but even in her coldness, she looked beautiful.

"If you continue to spoil her like this, she will grow up to be a spoiled and willful girl who can't get married, and you will be responsible for supporting her for the rest of your life."

Yuan Qianye noticed her excessively slender waist, which appeared under her large nightgown.

Summer nightgowns are made of thin material, and the spaghetti strap design allows large swaths of the shoulders and neck skin, usually hidden under clothing, to be revealed, white as jade, breathtakingly beautiful... (no blood relation)

He didn't dare linger, glancing sideways at the window and pulling the curtain closed: "We're all family, helping each other out. What's this talk about raising or supporting each other? No matter when she encounters difficulties in the future, just because she calls me 'Onii-chan,' I won't stand idly by. Of course, the same goes for you, Toka-nee."

Forget it...

Without saying a word, Shika remained silent until he turned away.

Yuan Qianye's tone softened slightly as he looked into her eyes: "Next time you encounter this situation, don't get angry. Just call me, and I'll take care of her."

"I'm afraid you really could bring yourself to do it."

"Actually, aside from these everyday little quirks, Rikka is quite sensible, isn't she?"

"I didn't notice."

"Just so you know, last time she won a travel voucher, other people offered tens of thousands but she didn't sell it, and ended up bringing it back for her parents to use. Have you forgotten?"

This time, Toka remained silent, mainly because she couldn't refute it; Rikka was indeed very sensible back then.

Although I was a little angry at first, things are much better now that Gen Chiya has come in and mediated.

After turning off the living room light, the two walked towards the bedroom. As they were about to part, Toka felt that her expression was softened by the dim lighting.

The belated apology finally came out: "I'm sorry for waking you up in the middle of the night. I just told her that school is starting soon and she shouldn't stay up late, but she forgot right away. I couldn't hold back my anger and wanted to teach her a lesson."

"It's okay, it's okay. Anyway, I sleep well and fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. If you really feel bad about it... I'll make you one of my favorite dishes tomorrow."

"What do you want to eat?"

Tomato and egg soup.

"..."

"what happened?"

"You can be bolder and suggest other dishes if you like."

“That’s enough…” He leaned closer to Toka and lowered his voice: “…It was also a way to punish Rikka and vent my anger for Onee-sama.”

For picky eaters like Liuhua, tomatoes aren't just disliked; they're hated.

Shihua realized what was happening and couldn't help but chuckle, her tone becoming even gentler: "The usual, fry the eggs?"

"kindness."

"Understood. Goodnight, sweet dreams."

"Good night."

It turns out I did have a good dream.

However, when they went back to bed, they couldn't continue the conversation.

On August 28th, Yukino Yukinoshita boarded a plane to the Eagle Country once again.

She still has nearly two and a half years left in her overseas studies.

No wonder Yuki's mother is ruthless; for the future development of the Yuki family, this international elite education is a must.

After finishing junior high school there, Yukino will return to Japan to start her studies again.

This time, she insisted on not letting her friends, including Yuan Qianye, come to see her off at the airport.

They said that doing this on purpose would only overemphasize the sadness of parting, so they refused.

Before leaving, she, Eriri, and Minamoto Chiya had a simple meal together.

After the meal, she deliberately leaned close to Eriri and whispered many secrets between girls.

After that, she simply smiled, waved, turned around, got into her family's luxury car, and left.

This time, Eriri didn't burst into tears like she did the first time.

But her eyes were indeed red, and a few tears rolled down her cheeks.

Seeing her with her head hanging low, looking extremely disappointed.

Yuan Qianye hallucinated a helpless puppy that had been abandoned by its owner.

After thinking for a moment, he stepped forward and gently wiped away her tears, smiling as he said, "Come on, stay at my place tonight. Let's have a night of revelry before school starts. This time, we're determined to get past the second major challenge in the 'Mischievous Kitchen'."

Eriri stopped crying and smiled, nodding emphatically.

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.

School officially started on September 1st.

Unlike Rikka and Eriri, who wear masks of pain when facing the opening exams.

Yuan Qianye didn't have any particular feelings.

As before, even without deliberately studying, he could still maintain his top grade by simply flipping through the textbook at the last minute.

The teachers turned a blind eye to him, afraid that interfering would ruin his current excellent performance.

He was allowed to sit in the last row by the window, where he would sleep, read extracurricular books, practice calligraphy, do horse stance to improve his core stability, and even practice close-up magic tricks.

During the short breaks between classes, he spent most of his time chatting and joking with Sunohara Youhei.

During lunch break, I would go to the kendo club as usual, and occasionally Eriri Rikka would come along.

The only thing that has changed from before is the weekend.

Kasumigaoka Utaha – She always finds a reason to visit the Minamoto family.

This time, I brought some local specialties sent by relatives to share.

Next time, I'll come to the Yuan family with a fashion magazine in hand, hoping that Sister Shihua, who has excellent taste in clothing, can help me choose a few outfits.

While offering subtle compliments, he also stayed at the Yuan family's house for lunch.

And just like that, the weekend was over.

But she clearly had ulterior motives.

There was nothing he could do; unlike Eriri, she and he didn't go to the same school.

Since we can't meet on weekdays, we can only make up for the lost energy of the night on weekends.

Incidentally, what surprised Chiyo was that Kasumigaoka Utaha was different from the previous two times they met, during their first meeting after the fireworks festival.

She put on black stockings.

However, upon closer reflection, he felt that this was normal, since this was the Kasumigaoka Utaha he remembered.

Her legs were already in great shape; her thighs were fleshy but not bulky, her calves were straight, and her calves weren't very prominent. In addition, her waistline was very high, which made her legs appear even longer and more slender, almost perfect. It wouldn't be an exaggeration for her to debut as a leg model on the spot.

The addition of black stockings further enhances the allure, giving it a captivating charm.

It truly is a case of one plus one being greater than two.

Yuan Qianye is a man, and he may have some inner restraint, but he cannot go against his instincts.

There is a Saudi Arabian proverb that says, "A beautiful woman in black stockings is like the morning sun, giving people vitality."

There may be some discrepancies in the content, but that's roughly the gist of it.

So perhaps without realizing it, he took a few more glances.

This made Kasumigaoka Utaha overjoyed, further confirming her previous guess.

That's so true to me!

She secretly praised herself in her heart and planned to continue wearing black stockings from now on.

When I got back, I bought all sorts of designer black stockings and put them at home.

Such peaceful and tranquil daily life flows quietly by.

Two weeks of school have already passed before we even realized it.

It's mid-September.

At this time, Sanada and Takanashi Junko finally ended their impulsive "honeymoon trip" and returned home, bringing gifts for their three children. The family was overjoyed.

That evening, while Rikka was taking a bath...

The couple recounted their experiences over the past few days to their eldest daughter and son.

There's really not much to say.

In mid-to-late June, Genji Sanada was hospitalized with his leg in a cast and spent most of his time in bed. During the day, he would occasionally be pushed downstairs for a walk in a wheelchair by Junko.

The doctor advised that, although recovery has been confirmed, it would be best to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time, just in case.
