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

"It's cold on the balcony, let's go back to the room and talk more..."

Yuan Qianye picked her up and carried her back to the house, hooking his foot behind the French windows and drawing the curtains as well.

The room was first filled with Yang Nai's uncontrollable giggles, which then became muffled and indistinct, and finally replaced by low moans and gasps.

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.

Mrs. Yukinoshita acted quickly, and soon arranged for her youngest daughter's apartment to be occupied by her alone.

As predicted by Yang Nai, Yukino's apartment was located on the same floor as Gen Chiya's apartment. The two families could walk to each other's apartments without even having to change out of their slippers, as they were just around the corner.

In this way, her route to and from school was completely the same as that of Minamoto Chiyo and Rikka.

What Mrs. Sawamura hadn't accomplished beforehand, she accomplished directly.

The person who was happiest about this was naturally Chiya Minamoto, and Rikka and Eriri were undoubtedly the ones who showed their joy the most.

Rikka will no longer have to worry about having no one to play with on Saturdays and Sundays, while Eriri will be able to stay overnight at Yukino's house even if she's too embarrassed to go directly to Chiya's house.

Given her relationship with Yukino, that couldn't be more convenient.

Of course, the most important thing is the determination she made after the last time.

I want to help Yukino and Chiya's relationship develop smoothly, and I also want her to have the same happiness as me.

Although Yukino has never explicitly said this, Eriri has been with her since childhood and considers herself one of the people who understands her best in the world... so it's unlikely to be wrong.

Now that they live so close together and their parents aren't around, achieving this goal is much easier than it used to be!

The problem is that Yukino's personality is a little troublesome... I can't be too obvious about it, and I can't let her find out that I'm trying to set them up.

But there's still more than a year until high school graduation, which seems like a long time... so it should be enough time, right?

But the thought of the rest of her high school years made Eriri secretly feel a little sad again.

The reason is that Saeko-nee, whom she has always liked and respected, has only one semester left before graduation.

She was pre-selected for admission by Keio University, which ranked third in Japan and was only behind the University of Tokyo and Waseda University.

With the pre-arranged relationship, she no longer needs to spend time taking the common university entrance exam.

This means she can save a lot of time, without having to cram for practice problems in her final semester, and can spend time with them as before.

However, that's all there is to it.

Incidentally, not only Saeko, but also Utaha was pre-selected for admission to Keio University.

In terms of order of priority, Shiyu, who consistently topped the academic rankings, was the first to receive a recommendation from the school.

Later, she realized that Saeko also had some interest in Keio University, so she took the initiative to help contact and negotiate with the school.

Next, Saeko submitted a formal application herself. Combined with her past glorious achievements in the national kendo tournament and her consistently excellent academic performance, the combination of these factors ultimately led to Saeko successfully securing the pre-selected qualification.

In this respect, Saeko should actually thank Utaha.

However, Eriri thought these were all trivial matters.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, Eriri couldn't help but feel a bittersweet sense of relief, thinking that the annoying Kasumigaoka Utaha had unexpectedly come in handy at this time, preventing Saeko from feeling too lonely in her new environment.

The New Year holiday passed quickly, and the final semester began.

Yuan Qianye proceeded step by step.

Studying, working, socializing, publishing books, releasing songs... he has many more things to do and is busier than before.

However, because the company has expanded its workforce compared to before, many tasks are shared by others, so I am no longer as busy as I was last year, missing several months at home and school.

This semester, Shinomiya, the eldest daughter of Shuchiin High School, has been noticeably more active than before. In accordance with the previously established dual-school collaborative career experience development plan, she frequently visits Soubu High School, or invites Minamoto Chiya to come directly to her for discussions.

Of course, her purpose has always been consistent: to seek benefits for students from both schools is a pretense, but to openly and boldly contact and talk frequently with the person she likes under the guise of being a good student council president who serves the students is the real truth!

"I feel like the president is about to lose his temper!"

night.

Four Palaces Villa.

As always, it was in the bedroom.

Wearing a pink nightgown, Miss Shinomiya confidently clenched her fist, her hair falling naturally over her shoulders, her cheeks flushed with excitement, exuding girlish charm.

Hayasaka Ai, who was quietly listening in a maid outfit, had a slightly flushed face upon closer inspection.

This afternoon after school, Chiya was invited by the young lady to the student council of Shuchiin Academy.

During the ten-minute break when the young lady was called away by the principal, she found another excuse to ask the remaining person in the student council room to go to the library to find some materials.

In those brief ten minutes, the two of them passionately embraced and kissed on the sofa in the student council room.

This amount of time was clearly not enough for Qianye, but it still made her go twice.

As a result, the surface of the sofa ended up being somewhat damp.

She then used her buttocks to cover the mark tightly so as not to give herself away.

Even now, when she thinks back to what happened then, Hayasaka Ai still feels her heart race.

In addition, Qianye had also made an appointment with her to come see her tonight.

The unbridled pleasure that couldn't be fully released due to time constraints will bring complete satisfaction in a few hours... Thinking of this, the maid's gaze drifted to the clock on the young lady's desk, and she began to complain about why time was passing so slowly.

Kaguya, annoyed that she hadn't received a response to her words, said, "Hey, Hayasaka! Are you even listening to me?"

"Some are young ladies from wealthy families."

"You were just spacing out!"

"No, Miss. I was just thinking about how I, as your maid, can help you achieve your goal more quickly."

"No need!" Kaguya cupped her face and laughed shyly, "I think... after all my obvious hints lately, he should have realized it's time to act. Actually..."

Kaguya suddenly leaned forward, her hand to her mouth, and whispered as if revealing a secret: "...I discovered a very obvious sign today!"

"sign?"

"Yes! After the principal asked me to check a few documents, I was sitting next to the president, drinking coffee and discussing future joint activities."

"Yes, Miss, you were very unreserved back then. Your whole body was almost pressed against Chairman Yuan."

"That's not the point. It was almost pasted on... so it wasn't pasted on! What I wanted to talk about was the president's reaction at the time!"

"What was the reaction?"

"It's...it's...!" Kaguya suddenly felt shy and found it hard to say, but thinking that Hayasaka had grown up by her side since childhood, and would most likely accompany her on her wedding day, honeymoon, and round-the-world trip, there seemed to be no need to hide anything from her.

"...I noticed that the president seemed noticeably nervous after he stood very close to me!"

"nervous?"

"Hmm! He was breathing very fast! And the way he looked at me was a bit strange, like... very aggressive. Although he kept suppressing it, I could still feel that he was about to pounce on me at any moment!"

As those romance novels and TV dramas all say, if you like someone but are unsure of their feelings, being around them can make you feel a little nervous!

Similarly, even if one can lie about liking something, the eyes, being the windows to the soul, cannot completely hide it!

Kaguya mustered the courage to share her discovery, yearning for the approval of her personal maid.

"..."

But Hayasaka Ai just pursed her lips tightly, strictly controlling her expression!

I'm so sorry... I'm not that kind of rich girl.

The reason Qianye acted that way was simply because you came back too early, and he was... somewhat unsatisfied with me.

Seeing her silence, Kaguya took it as a tacit agreement and excitedly continued to speculate: "So, I'm starting to realize now that back when we went to the mountains for the training camp, the student council president must have already liked me to an unbearable degree!"

Although she was increasingly unable to hold back, Hayasaka Ai was, after all, a professionally trained woman, and had to continue the conversation in accordance with her mistress's interest: "Young lady, what do you mean by that?"

"Think about it, Hayasaka, out of so many schools in Tokyo, why did he specifically choose our school for a joint activity?"

It's because of me...

"And also, from the previous training camp activities to the current dual-school career experience activities, no matter the occasion, he has always taken such good care of me in such a gentlemanly and gentle way!"

That's because of me...

"Most importantly, a person's life is the most important thing, and it only happens once in a lifetime. Yet he was able to disregard it all just to protect me! Doesn't that say something?"

I'm sorry, Miss... The most crucial point, and without a doubt, is because of me...

Moreover, the more Hayasaka Ai heard the young lady say this, the clearer she became about how much Chiya had sacrificed for her, and the hotter Hayasaka Ai's lower abdomen felt, both inside and out.

I feel like tonight's meeting... will either result in his "death" or her "death".

Of course, that's just a more polite way of putting it.

Considering the difference in their physical abilities and "skills," in any situation, if it's just the two of them in a one-on-one fight, only the latter scenario will occur.

Hayasaka feigned sudden realization: "I see, I understand now. So, what are you planning to do next, young lady?"

"As I just said, the preparations over this period of time have been sufficient, so now I want to give it a little push and some hints so that the chairman will stop hesitating and take action."

"So, Miss, you hope that the president will confess to you first, is that right?"

"Of course, I might not agree immediately!" Kaguya lowered her head, fiddling with her fingers, her white thighs rubbing together slightly, appearing somewhat embarrassed. "It really depends on his performance... I mean... we'll make a decision later..."

We're still making a decision.

If Qianye really had those intentions, he probably wouldn't even need to confess to easily "get" the young lady into his grasp, completely taking advantage of her.

How come I never noticed before that my young lady is so bad at dating?

No, that's not quite right. After all, the person she's infatuated with is Chiya, so it's understandable.

"Is there anything I need to do, young lady?"

"A little, but not much. I've already thought it through!" Kaguya took out her phone and held it tightly in her hand: "Didn't I successfully get the president's sister's contact information before? I've been chatting with her a lot lately, and our relationship has grown quite a bit."

I plan to invite her to my home under the guise of a visit, and also have her bring the chairman along. After that, I'll find a way to spend time alone with the chairman, and then I'll leave the chairman's sister to you!

Although the plan was somewhat rough, the overall execution was commendable.

Hayasaka Ai nodded to indicate that she understood, but in her heart she was thinking that it was time to have a serious talk with Chiya about the young lady's matter.

Given the young lady's current frenzied state, it's clear that Qi Liu [(F) yao shan er jiu er yue yi] can't delay any longer.

After that, Kaguya pulled Hayasaka along and, considering various details, made considerable additions to the plan she had made. It wasn't until after 11 p.m. that Hayasaka returned to her room.
