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

Secondly, if the Kudo couple were to pressure their daughter to get married and have children, where would they find such a trustworthy and capable assistant in such a short time?

As for the third...

His gaze involuntarily fell on Miyoko's face, her moist, dependent, and grateful eyes, her cherry-like lips coated with lip gloss like tempting jelly, and the astonishing curves that were tightly bound yet still seemed to burst forth beneath her business suit...

Well! Anyway, the first two reasons are enough!

"Okay, don't make that face. If something like this happens again, don't hide it from me. Tell me immediately. Also, this isn't over yet."

I specifically booked a kaiseki restaurant in Ginza. After we finish our business, we'll take my uncle and aunt there together.

After dinner, we went to Shibuya to stroll around and bought whatever caught our eye. I also booked a top-notch private massage for my aunt and uncle. They've worked hard all their lives, and it's a rare treat for them to come to Tokyo, so they deserve to enjoy themselves.

Don't go back to your apartment tonight. I've booked a private onsen ryokan (hot spring hotel) for you. The driver will take your aunt and uncle there directly. All expenses will be covered by the company's hospitality account, so please don't hesitate to ask me for help.

Taking a deep breath, Yuan Qianye softened his tone, completely unaware that his current attitude towards Miyoko had long exceeded the scope of a normal boss showing consideration for his subordinate.

After hearing his series of thoughtful and meticulous arrangements, Miyoko felt an even stronger surge of emotion well up in her eyes, and her heart pounded wildly!

Beneath the skirt suit, a pair of long, slender legs encased in sheer stockings unconsciously rubbed against each other.

How can she ever repay this profound yet heartwarming kindness, this act of kindness that rescued her from family pressures?

Even her former boss, Touma Yoko, who took good care of her, couldn't compare to even a tenth of what this young president had done for her!

Speaking of which... the boss is really becoming more and more different.

From the young club president who initially needed her constant reminders and was still somewhat naive, he has quickly grown into the handsome, calm, and capable man he is today, a man who makes people feel incredibly at ease just by standing next to him!

Gazing at Minamoto Chiyo's increasingly defined and strong profile, Miyoko couldn't help but drift into a daze, and a corner of her heart that had been deliberately suppressed began to break down.

Wednesday of the following week.

Today was Liuhua's turn to clean the classroom. After cleaning the classroom with her classmates, she went to the student council room.

"Rikka, you're here." Yukino looked up and smiled.

"Yukino meow meow~" Rikka hopped over to Yukino and handed her a can of drink: "I bought you coffee."

Yukino thanked her and accepted it, saying, "What kind of trendy way of addressing someone is this?"

"Yeah, don't you think this verbal tic is cute?"

Only Yukino and Chiya are currently in the student council room.

Eriri and Utaha went home early today because they needed to meet deadlines for their manga and novel manuscripts.

As for Yako, she was about to graduate, and the younger members of the kendo club who knew her strength were making the most of their time to ask her to train rigorously so that they could continue her glory after she left. Therefore, she spent most of her last days at school there.

While Rikka was chatting with Yukino, her gaze involuntarily drifted towards Chiya.

He was buried in a pile of documents, and it was unclear what he was busy with.

Rikka's conversation with Yukino came to a temporary end, and she looked at Chiya: "Chiya, how much longer until you finish? Let's go back together later."

Without looking up, Minamoto no Chiya said, "I'm sorry, Rikka, I'm afraid I can't today. I have a lot of things to do. You should go back first, no need to wait for me."

Seeing this, Yukino said, "It's just the end-of-term expense statistics for each club. It's not a complicated task. Leave it to me."

Hearing this, Rikka looked on with anticipation and quickly looked at Chiya again.

But he shook his head: "Forget it. You still have two service department requests to deal with. I can handle it myself."

The sky outside the window gradually darkened.

Rikka waited patiently for a while, but seeing that Chiya was indeed busy and couldn't stop, and remembering that her older sister had asked her to be at the restaurant at seven o'clock sharp to help, she couldn't wait any longer and had to say goodbye to the other two and leave first.

Thinking it was alright, her older sister seemed to really like Chiyo these past few days, and she'd been staying at home a lot. She couldn't spend time alone with Chiyo after school, so she could make up for it in the evenings.

I wonder how late Qianye will be busy tonight. He didn't get home until after 11 pm last night and the night before, so we didn't have enough time together... I hope he can come home earlier today.

…………

268: Rokka: Tenka is okay, but I'm not?! (7k)

After Rikka left, a period of silence ensued between the two.

Seeing that Chiya had picked up the cup, brought it to his lips, and finished the tea, Yukino got up and refilled it for him. As she placed the cup back in front of him, she casually remarked, "Actually, you can take these tasks back to do."

Gen Chiya lazily thanked her: "I still want to resolve matters at school within the school."

This was an excuse; the main reason was that he simply couldn't tell Yukino Akira that he had actually been avoiding Rikka all this time.

Taking advantage of his convenient position, that guy has become increasingly reckless lately.

Even the most outrageous ways of waking someone up—things that only happen in anime—have appeared. She sneaks into his room in the morning, hugs his neck, and sits on his stomach.

Unfortunately, Eriri only stayed at his place for one night last Friday. Everyone else is a bit inconvenient right now, and Toka hasn't been back to her apartment either, so he's been really teased and speechless these past few days!

I couldn't bear it any longer, and I couldn't say it outright, so in the end I had no choice but to avoid it.

If you can't afford to offend them, you can at least avoid them.

"Are you going home today?" Yuan Qianye asked casually.

Yukino brushed a strand of hair behind her ear: "Yes, Grandpa and Grandma are here. I'm going back to stay tonight."

Gen Chiya nodded knowingly, then inquired about her grandparents' health before naturally shifting the topic to Haruno: "Haruno-neechan, how have you been lately? The Setsukyokuka Company is doing well; you must be very busy with work, right?"

"Thanks to you, I'm very busy. I just got back from a business trip abroad yesterday, and I guess I'm still at home catching up on sleep and adjusting to the time difference."

"Your parents must be very worried about you, since you still have to focus on your studies."

Chiya knew all of this, and now he was going over it with Yukino again just to find out the specific attitude of his aunt and uncle, since he had long considered himself a member of the Yukinoshita family.

However, perhaps the topic shift was too abrupt, or perhaps Yukino sensed something. She looked at Minamoto Chiyo thoughtfully, then suddenly laughed: "Are you concerned about your older sister?"

"I was just asking casually." Yuan Qianye controlled his facial expression, making sure he didn't appear too unusual.

Since Yukino had already asked that question, the conversation naturally couldn't continue.

Time flew by and it was 5:30.

After finishing their work, the two walked out of the campus together.

Yuan Qianye then brought up the matter they had discussed earlier: "How have you decided? Would you like to come with me?"

He was referring to a job he had previously taken on.

The essence of this job is still endorsement and promotion, but it is somewhat different from the past because the full name of the unit being endorsed and promoted this time is "Tokyo Metropolitan Ueno Zoo"!

This is the first zoo to officially open in Japanese history. It is operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Bureau of Construction and is very famous. It is located inside Ueno Park and has a great natural environment and geographical location.

Yuan Qianye has gained immense popularity in recent years, achieving high recognition among people of all ages. He has also performed numerous good deeds that benefit the country and its people, earning him praise and awards from the government, including certificates and badges of honor. He is virtually spotless and embodies a highly positive image.

At the beginning of this year, he also collaborated with the Tokyo Metropolitan Tourism Bureau, becoming the city's image ambassador, which had a very positive effect.

Given the precedent of such cooperation with the government, Ueno Zoo was drawn to Chiya Minamoto's sunny, cheerful, and positive image, and since he is also a handsome man, they decided to have him as their spokesperson.

The above are the prerequisites; the most crucial point is the content of this work.

Gen Chiya accepted the job, which would take place over three years in cooperation with a series of promotional activities for Ueno Park. The most important task was to take promotional photos up close with the five panda cubs that the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs had rented from a certain major country!

Yukino's eyes trembled, her heart filled with intense longing, yet she still struggled with the thought. Therefore, she asked to confirm, "If you take me with you, will it really not cause you any trouble?"

Yuan Qianye had previously told her that he had taken on this job and might be able to find a way to ask the zoo to let her get close to the pandas.

Yuan Qianye chuckled: "What if I said there would be trouble?"

"Then I definitely won't go." Yukino said this very firmly, but her disappointment was clearly visible.

Yuan Qianye shrugged: "Hey, I really don't know what to say to you. Don't worry, I asked them beforehand, and they clearly said that as long as we follow the rules, there won't be any problems. We'll follow the rules and regulations, so you can rest assured now."

Even if you say that…

"I finally got this opportunity after a lot of trouble, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance!"

Gen Chiyo's subtle urging made Yukino's face flush even more, and her eyes filled with increasing anticipation!

In the end, Yukino couldn't resist the purest desire in her heart, after all, she had loved cute things since she was very young! And indeed, as he said, this was a rare opportunity!

She nodded: "Thank you, then... I'll leave it to you."

"There's no need for thanks between us, but I did put in some effort this time, so you'll have to think carefully about how you're going to repay me afterwards."

Seeing Yukino pause for a moment, about to speak, he immediately interrupted her with a smile.

"No need to answer me right away."

At least for now, there's no need to answer.

The second young lady's psychological defenses are too solid. Hopefully, by playing to her liking in this incident, we can make her relax a little.

At the end of March, the General Affairs High School held its graduation ceremony.

Saeko Busujima was chosen as the graduation representative to give a speech.

With this, she and Kasumigaoka Utaha officially graduated.

The fathers of the two girls in the audience were filled with emotion, realizing how quickly their daughters had grown up.

Mrs. Kasumigaoka couldn't stop wiping the wetness from the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief.

After the meeting, the two said goodbye to their parents and joined the others.

Apart from Yuan Qianye himself, everyone else in Yuan Qianye's group seemed somewhat lost and dejected. After all, the feeling of separation is always unpleasant, no matter when.

This is followed by a spring break that lasts about a month.

Next semester, Chiyo and the others will become senior high school students, while Shiwa and Saeko will officially become university students.

During the Spring Festival break, Shiyu and Yazi were finally able to relax for a while. However, their parents had previously discussed going on a trip together with their daughters.

For Yuan Qianye, whose relationship with Yuan Qianye was not yet public, it was naturally impossible for her to go along.

But it doesn't matter, they'll be back in about a week anyway.

Ya Zi's father also has work abroad, and Shi Yu's father's company also doesn't allow him to take too much leave.

It's just that Rikka is getting more and more outrageous. For some reason, the lock on the high-end bathroom door at home is broken, and she's starting to barge in while he's washing his feet, insisting on helping him dry them.

Also, the homework he finished that night would always mysteriously disappear overnight, and then reappear obediently in his schoolbag the next morning.

Even though Chiyo noticed this, she was too embarrassed to say anything!
