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

Therefore, for the past few days, Eriri has been coming to Rikka's house with her after school to bother her.

Although she had long regarded Qianye's parents as her future in-laws and his home as her own, she hadn't yet come to the point of being completely open about it, so every time she came over, she still had to bring some things with her.

The three of them tiptoed into the living room. Eriri, carrying a durian, went over to talk to Junko's mother.

Rikka watched her older sister fall asleep on the sofa and sighed inwardly, wishing her sister could always be as gentle as when she was asleep.

Eriri returned quickly, her gaze initially just casually sweeping over Toka-nee.

It was just a casual glance, but my eyes froze instantly when I noticed something!

Rikka didn't notice her unusual behavior and simply pulled her upstairs as usual.

Once they reached the room on the second floor and the door closed, Eriri excitedly exclaimed, "Toka-nee has a boyfriend!"

It's not a question, but a very confident statement!

Rikka was taken aback by her abrupt remark: "What are you suddenly saying? I didn't mean anything by it..."

"It definitely exists! Trust me, Rikka, I saw it!"

"Saw? What did you see?"

"Feet!"

"foot?"

"Yes, there are very obvious marks on the instep of Sister Shihua's foot!"

"Are you alright, Eriri? And what's the meaning of those marks on your feet?"

"Those are most likely bite marks. Actually... I've been bitten by Qianye in private too..."

Seeing that Rikka was still staring blankly, Eriri felt a little embarrassed, but she still moved closer and whispered to her.

Rikka's eyes widened as if a new world had been opened to her, and her face became even more flushed.

Feet are for walking! How can you put them in your mouth!

Although she was internally screaming this, Rikka believed most of it after hearing Eriri's detailed explanation.

However, since she hadn't paid much attention just now, she immediately dragged Eriri downstairs again. While her mother and Chiyo weren't looking, she pretended to wander around her sister and looked down to get a good look at her sister's feet.

Shihua was wearing boat socks, leaving her insteps almost completely unprotected. As a result, one could clearly see the distinct, dark red marks that looked like claws on her beautiful, arched back, which resembled jade.

The two men stealthily returned to the second floor.

Although she saw it clearly, Rikka was still somewhat incredulous.

"Maybe he bumped into something by accident?"

"Just by sheer coincidence, both feet collided at the same time? And the marks on them just happened to be so similar in shape?"

"This..." Rikka couldn't speak, but still stammered, "...But those are feet! How can they be there..."

What's wrong with his feet? Even if he felt they were dirty, when the mood struck, Qianye had kissed and nibbled on them, as if licking sweet nectar. It's hard to imagine that he's the same person who's usually so fastidious...

Eriri, her head spinning, replied quietly.

Of course, she knew she didn't have the thick skin of Kasumigaoka, so she would never say such a thing.

Eriri coughed lightly, bringing the topic back to life.

"Alright, whatever happens to Sister Shihua, she must have her own plans since she hasn't told anyone. We know, so we'll keep quiet and not make things difficult for her. Compared to Sister Shihua, you should take care of your own affairs. It's about time you made up your mind."

After she fully understood Rikka's feelings, over the past two days, she had helped Rikka get to know her and become friends with her. After Rikka realized her own feelings, she had patiently stood by her side time and time again, offering advice and suggestions, hoping to help her and Chiya get along...

The more Eriri recalls the kindness Rikka showed her in the past, the clearer it becomes, and so Eriri's initial confusion has turned into her current firm resolve.

The relationship between Rikka and Chiya is indeed complicated, but is that even a big deal for Chiya now?

Regardless of how others view it or what gossip they may have, as long as there are no problems between them, then there are absolutely no problems!

Not to mention that this matter can also be kept secret from the outside world, just like Qianye's current situation.

Now that Rikka's feelings have been confirmed, it's definitely not something she's just playing around with. So, next, as long as she can confirm Chiya's thoughts... if he feels the same way, then there will be absolutely no obstacles!

Seeing that Rikka was still hesitating.

Eriri added fuel to the fire: "You were so enthusiastic when you encouraged me before, but now that it's your turn, you're showing weakness. This is not like you at all! Or is it that, Rikka, you're really content to keep hiding your feelings and just be his sister? If that's really the case, then I'll keep this secret for you and never mention it again!"

Rikka lowered her head and poked her fingertips together, making Eriri hold her breath and wait for several minutes before she closed her eyes and nodded fiercely, as if she had made up her mind!

…………

265: The second young lady is very excited!

Eriri felt relieved to see that her sister had finally relented today, which meant that the two of them had reached a basic consensus.

Now that we share the same goal, the rest is about how to carry it out—to determine if Chiya has any feelings for Rikka beyond those of a foster sister!

The two locked the door and began to huddle together, whispering and discussing.

Of course, this time it concerns Rikka's lifelong happiness, so unlike the situation a long time ago, their roles have been reversed.

Eriri has become an enthusiastic chief of staff, while Rikka has become a shy, lovestruck girl being pushed forward.

This matter is simple in some ways, and difficult in others.

Rikka went straight up to him and declared, "I like you! I like you so much that I want to sleep with you!" While direct, this approach was considered too crude, and Chiya might not necessarily tell the truth after being "confessed" to like this. Therefore, the plan was rejected almost immediately after it was proposed.

The two thought about it for a long time, but because they were both simple-minded and not good at scheming, they couldn't come up with any useful and specific strategies in a short time. They just vaguely came to the conclusion that it was better not to be so direct, but to take a roundabout approach.

There was a knock on the door around 6 p.m.

Chiyo came over and called the two of them downstairs for dinner.

So the two had to pause their discussion and go downstairs to continue talking after dinner.

The aroma of food wafted from the living room downstairs. Yuan's father had returned sometime earlier and was calmly leaning back on the sofa reading the newspaper. Runzi's mother brought out one delicious dish after another, while Shihua deftly served rice to everyone.

Mom and Dad didn't have much to say. Because Eriri had just reminded her like that, Rikka's gaze instinctively lingered on her older sister as soon as she came downstairs.

My sister, who has a cold personality and never shows any interest in other men, and seems to be completely abstinent, actually had that kind of thing happen to her!

Since Eriri mentioned hickeys on such a private and sensitive area as her feet, then presumably other, even more... even more outrageous behaviors must have occurred as well, right?

I'm really curious about what my sister's expression was like back then, and even more curious about how amazing my future brother-in-law is to have won my sister's heart.

"Hey!" Eriri noticed Rikka staring intently at Toka's feet and nudged her shoulder to remind her, "You're being too obvious. Remember what I just said? If Toka isn't going to say anything, it means she's not ready to say it yet. Don't be stupid and blurt it all out. You should think more about your own affairs!"

"Okay, okay, I know what's important!"

Rikka and Eriri went to wash their hands together, and then sat down at the dining table.

Junko's mother kept serving food to Eriri and her eldest daughter, whom she hadn't seen for many days, creating a warm and harmonious dining scene that needs no further explanation.

However, a few casual remarks made by Toka after she finished recounting her trip to Kyoto secretly stirred Eriri's heart.

"Mom and Dad, I'd like to come back and stay for a while, but I don't know if it's convenient."

"Oh? It's certainly convenient, but what's all this about all of a sudden?"

"There's no particular reason, I just really miss Chiyo lately and want to spend more time with her," Toka said, gently poking Chiyo's cheek.

Yuan's father smiled and said, "You don't need to ask that anymore. This is your home. You can come back whenever you want."

Runzi's mother also cupped her face in her hands: "Yes, yes, I always keep your room clean. I don't even need to change the sheets and blankets at night. You can just move in right away."

Chiyo was overjoyed: "Tonight I'm going to sleep with Toka-nee and take a bath together!"

Toka patted Chiyo's head: "That's fine, but I just got back from Kyoto and I'm very tired from work. Can you let me rest for a few days first?"

"No problem! Just don't forget, Tohka-neechan!"

Yes, yes~

That way, we can successfully calm that bad guy down.

I feel very sorry for him, but I really can't take it anymore if I don't run away. If I let him do whatever he wants, I'll be completely worn out.

Toka and Chiyo smiled and hooked their hands, then ate their meal as usual, but she caught a glimpse of her silly little sister staring at her with a meaningful look in her eyes.

Her gentle emotions immediately softened, her face tightened, and she revealed the authority of an elder sister: "By the way, Rikka, how were your test results while you were away? You haven't reported to me yet."

Upon hearing this, Rikka was not as nervous as she had been when she entered the room that afternoon. Instead, she smiled subtly, realizing that she now had something on her sister.

"what--!"

Rikka's chubby thigh under the table was pinched, and she immediately lost her composure.

Eriri quickly smiled and said, "Toka-nee, the last test paper was really difficult. Actually, none of our grade did very well."

"I see..." Seeing that Eriri had spoken up for her, Toka decided to let Rikka off the hook this time, but she still had to make the necessary criticisms clear: "I'll let it go this time, but don't be slack off next time, okay?"

"Okay, I got it—"

Liu Hua trailed off.

Dinner ended peacefully after that.

Everyone gathered in the living room to rest for a while. Around 7 o'clock, it was almost time for Eriri to leave and go home.

Rikka escorted Eriri to the door as if everything was normal. Once outside the gate and there was no one else around, Eriri's normally smiling face suddenly lit up with excitement: "What a great opportunity, Rikka!"

"What good opportunity?"

"Didn't Sister Shihua say she was going to stay here for a while and not go back? You can take this opportunity to be alone with Qianye!"

"Being alone!"

This word wouldn't have had much of an impact on Rikka in the past, but times have changed.

She has made it clear that she wants to find out Qianye's feelings, and one of her sisters-in-law has also expressed her support!

"Isn't it great? With such a good opportunity, there's no reason to miss it."

"But...but..."

"There's no 'buts' about it. I just had a sudden thought: the mouth can lie, but the body can't!"

"Eriri, what do you want to..."

"I haven't thought about the specifics yet. It's too late today. My mom sent me several messages telling me not to bother her for too long. I'll think about it carefully when I get back, and I'll tell you the details tomorrow."

"it is good."

The two waved goodbye.
