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

"This is for you. Thank you for your help and care during this time."

Yuan Qianye's expression was natural and sincere.

However, his sudden act of giving a gift caught Yukino off guard, leaving her unable to react for a moment.

Yang Nai felt a silent sigh of helplessness, but stepped forward to accept the gift on her behalf. She smiled and held the gift in her palm, examining it: "What a cute pendant! If Yukino doesn't want it, I'll take it. It should fit perfectly on your backpack strap."

Upon hearing this, Yukino immediately snatched the ornament back from her hands and held it tightly in both.

She first gave her older sister a disapproving look, and then looked at Yuan Qianye and thanked her in a very soft voice.

She was somewhat annoyed.

She didn't feel that she had helped Yuan Qianye in any way during this time.

On the contrary, I received a lot of care from him.

She loves reading and gains knowledge from books.

He seemed to know this, and would always stay by her side to block and resolve any external factors that might distract her.

He's like a guardian angel; just being by his side makes you feel incredibly safe.

From this perspective, I should be the one thanking him for his companionship and care along the way.

Chiya's inner thoughts were not as complex as Yukino's.

Anyway, as long as the gift is given out, that's fine.

Since he became attached to Yukino, he has persevered in his self-study and continued to get close to her.

He successfully raised his Japanese and English proficiency to the same level as Koyuki, and he continues to unlock new and useful skills.

In a sense, he has already begun to slowly take on the shape of the snow.

This is truly cause for celebration!

Therefore, he felt somewhat guilty for only buying her a small gift of a few hundred yen as a token of his gratitude.

Unfortunately, he's only six years old and has limited financial resources. We'll have to repay this kindness when he grows up!

Yang looked around in confusion: "Speaking of which, I didn't see any of your family members, Chiyo."

Yuan Qianye packed his schoolbag: "They're too busy with work to come."

Actually, his father received a notice from the kindergarten and originally planned to come and make an appearance.

He convinced the other person that he was fine and that they should stay home and catch up on their sleep.

However, there's no need to explain this so clearly.

"I see..." Yang Nai drawled, staring at Yuan Qianye, and began to have many more guesses about his family background.

Gen Chiya packed his schoolbag and looked at Yukino: "By the way, which elementary school are you planning to attend?"

Yukino paused for a moment, then immediately replied, "Private Yude Elementary School."

This is also the school her older sister attends now. It has a strong teaching staff and complete facilities, making it one of the best primary schools in the area.

Yang Nai teased from the side, "What, Chiyo, are you planning to go to the same elementary school as my little sister?"

Yuan Qianye looked at her speechlessly and nodded generously: "Yes."

Why ask about something so obvious?

There is no doubt that Xiaoxue is a treasure girl; in the past six months, she has many undiscovered skills.

Although she only touched upon most of the skills, and most of them stopped at the LV1 or LV2 level.

Even so, Yuan Qianye did not intend to give up; having more skills is never a bad thing.

The expression on Yuan Qianye's face was one of utter self-righteousness.

He managed to confuse Hino, who was deliberately trying to tease him and his sister.

Are kids these days so direct and blunt? Are they good at getting straight to the point?

Yang Nai glanced at her younger sister again, who seemed to have gotten used to Yuan Qianye's way of doing things, and simply turned her head slightly to look out the window.

However, her bright red earlobes revealed that her heart was not at peace at this moment.

"I need to talk to the teacher, bye-bye."

After learning which elementary school Yukino would be attending, he immediately went to find the teacher he was closest to and gave her an innocent and endearing smile.

A few days later, Yuan Qianye's father, who happened to be on break, received a phone call from the kindergarten teacher.

Early April marks the beginning of spring.

A brand new phase begins with a shower of cherry blossoms.

Chiya Minamoto and Yukino Yukinoshita reunite at the opening ceremony.

The two of them were looking at the class assignment list for first-year students on the bulletin board.

Yuan Qianye clasped his hands together and muttered something softly.

Yukino Yukinoshita curiously leaned closer to listen carefully for a while, then gave him a reproachful look.

Originally, I wanted to quietly create a step's distance, but after thinking about it, I didn't move.

She had just heard him repeatedly praying, "I hope we can be in the same class, I hope we can be in the same class..."

But in the end, Yuan Qianye still couldn't get what he wanted.

Yukino is in Class 1 of the first year, while he is in Class 4 of the first year.

The classrooms between the two students were separated by the straight-line length of the entire school building.

Even so, their relationship did not weaken as a result, and remained the same as always.

The places where they often meet.

Also from the benches under the trees in the kindergarten.

It has become a stairwell corner that few people pass by, the open-air rooftop of the teaching building, and the plastic running track around the playground.

First-grade elementary school students don't understand love and romance yet.

But they also have an instinct to pursue beautiful things.

Yukino Yukinoshita has grown even cuter than she did in kindergarten.

Some young boys were unconsciously attracted by her delicate and beautiful appearance.

Although she appeared silent and indifferent in class.

But after occasionally witnessing her smile, as warm as the sun, when she was with someone, she was surprised.

I couldn't help but fantasize that I might receive the same treatment.

Driven by this strange desire to win her attention, many young boys took action.

Pretend to bump into her by accident while walking, take the initiative to approach her and start a conversation, or deliberately do what you think are cool moves in front of her.

That's pretty childish.

Yukinoshita felt that she was already in first grade, and if she wanted to become the "lone beast" that Minamoto Chiya talked about, she had to start getting used to relying on herself to solve problems.

Therefore, she refused Gen Chiya's help.

In fact, she did do a good job.

After she clearly told some boys that she didn't want to communicate with them, they would simply give up and not bother them, so it wasn't a big problem.

But occasionally you'll encounter people who don't understand human language or who are inherently evil.

After being rejected, his innocent and naive desire to win her favor turned into anger and malice.

…………

009: Let Study Girl know that there are always people better than you!

After entering the first grade of elementary school.

Yuan Qianye's personal attributes have increased significantly compared to before.

Name: Minamoto Chiya

【Strength: 3.8】

[Agility: 3.5]

[Physical Fitness: 4.2]

(The average human age for six years is 2.3)

【Charm: 4.9】

[Skills: Chinese LV5, Japanese LV5, English LV3, Cooking LV2, Painting LV1, Piano LV1, Aikido LV1...]

The improvement in his attributes is partly a result of his natural growth.

Another part consists of his daily exercise and the scattered rewards he receives after resolving various minor incidents.

For example, stopping passersby from kicking vending machines, taking found wallets to the police station, or giving directions to lost children from out of town.

As for the improvement in skills, most of it is thanks to Yukino, the study princess!

Now that she's in elementary school, Yuan Qianye naturally tries to stay by her side whenever he has the chance.

Moreover, now that Yukino goes to a nearby cram school after school, Chiyo can walk with her for a short distance along the way.

All things considered, the two of them have spent more time together than they did in kindergarten.

That afternoon after school, Gen Chiya and Yukinoshita, as usual, walked together.

As Yuan Qianye was changing his shoes at the shoe cabinet, he caught Yukinoshita in his peripheral vision pulling open the cabinet and taking a step back.
