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

When they returned home, Eriri tried to persuade Rikka again, but was ignored by her.

Then it completely reversed, and Rikka started giving orders to Eriri.

She asked Eriri to stay the night.

That's right, it wasn't a plea, but rather a demand that she stay the night with an aura that seemed quite intimidating and emanated a chilling aura!

The specific plan is as follows.

Qianye should be back at the apartment around 10 PM today, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

When he returns, Rikka will serve him a small bottle of sweet water containing melatonin and have him drink it.

After that, everyone rested as usual after he finished his bath. Eriri went back to his room with him and wanted to stay up all night playing games with him, doing everything she could to make him feel tired.

With his physical exhaustion and the medication prescribed by the doctor, he naturally slept very soundly.

After that, it was Rikka's turn to make her appearance...

Eriri was stunned. At this moment, she truly realized that Rikka was serious!

She could only sense Rikka's unusual behavior, but she couldn't understand why Rikka was acting so strangely!

He wanted to persuade her to give up the plan again, but Rikka's sullen face made him tremble with fear, and his words of persuasion lacked momentum, so they had no effect.

Not only that, Rikka also foresaw some of her thoughts in advance and clearly told her that the only person she could trust now was Eriri.

Eriri's serious attitude made it impossible for her to ask anyone else for help, including Chiya!

Thus, Eriri waited anxiously until evening, when Chiya Minamoto returned home.

The situation unfolded as originally planned.

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.

the next day.

in the afternoon.

While reading in the study, Yuan Qianye felt someone gently pat her shoulder. She looked up and smiled, "What's up? Did you beat the game and want to brag to me?"

The moment Rikka heard the voice, her heart started racing.

She had clearly chosen her moment carefully, sneaking closer while Qianye was engrossed in reading, so how did he still manage to discover her?!

But hearing Qianye's relaxed and natural tone, a bold idea suddenly popped into her mind.

Before she could think it through, Yuan Qianye had already closed the book and turned around.

He stretched, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the person who had come in: "Didn't you say you were going shopping with your classmates today? Why are you back so soon?"

Rikka stood by the desk, clutching the hem of her clothes, unsure of what to say.

Gen Chiya picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip: "Eri, if you're tired from shopping, there's watermelon in the fridge, go cut it yourself."

He finished speaking and was about to continue flipping through the book when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Eriri seems to be wearing a blue coat today, but the person in front of her is wearing a white dress... and this quiet demeanor doesn't seem like Eriri's usual lively style.

Yuan Qianye put down the book with a puzzled look and carefully examined the person in front of him.

"Rikka?! It's you?!" He was so surprised he almost jumped up from his chair.

"...!" Rikka bit her lip, her eyes slightly red, as if she had made up her mind, and was about to speak.

But Chiyo raised her hand first, signaling her not to rush: "Wait, Rikka, tell me first, didn't you say you were going to the library this afternoon? Why are you here?"

He's still a bit confused and doesn't understand the situation at all.

"I don't want to wait anymore!" Rikka's voice trembled slightly.

"Do you know what you're saying?" Yuan Qianye frowned.

"I know! I have something I need to tell you right now!" Rikka took a deep breath, trying to calm her voice. "I've been thinking about something for a very long time. I love the feeling of studying with you, discussing problems together, and playing badminton together. I want it to continue like this forever, do you understand what I mean?"

"!"

Although the two were not speaking loudly, Eriri, who was watching TV in the living room, was completely unaware of the commotion in the study.

She participated in the club's outdoor sketching activity this morning, sketching under the scorching sun for the entire morning. After returning home, she ate lunch and then snuggled up on the sofa to catch up on sleep. She is currently sleeping soundly and is not even paying attention to what program is on TV.

Faced with this sudden confession, Gen Chiya was momentarily at a loss for words. He tried to calm Rikka down and have a proper talk about it.

But how could Rikka remain calm? The image of her sister and Chiya chatting and watering the flowers in the yard yesterday flashed through her mind again, and that indescribable bittersweet feeling welled up in her heart. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably: "Why can my sister chat so happily with you, but I can't?!"

…………

269: Shihua: What did you call me?

Early in the morning.

Yuan Qianye opened his eyes, gently pushed away the two pairs of small hands that were resting on his chest, and got up to look at the two adorable children sleeping soundly on either side of him.

The special bond between the three of them, coupled with all the special relationships Rikka had... made him feel invigorated again.

But considering the fierce battle last night, he managed to hold back, quietly got out of bed, changed his clothes, and went to the living room.

It was 6 a.m., and I woke up about ten minutes later than usual today.

He should be out by this time, jogging along that familiar street.

But today he had no such intention at all. He went to the kitchen, filled a large glass with water, drank it all in one gulp, and then sat down on the sofa in the living room, staring blankly at the floor in front of him.

After a long silence, a muttered sigh, its meaning unclear, finally escaped his throat: "I really did it..."

Because of Rikka's reckless and direct offensive last night, his carefully planned long-term strategy was completely exposed, and the progress has now been accelerated by a large margin without any warning.

This is a bit tricky...

I have no connection with the person directly involved in Rikka's case; the main concern is definitely with Toka's side.

Knowing that she herself hadn't escaped unscathed was bad enough, but now even her own sister was involved... and her sister knew everything about her past...

How will Shihua react to all this information?

She might be so ashamed and angry that she faints...

After briefly imagining Toka's reaction to knowing all this, Gen Chiya scratched his head in distress, feeling increasingly troubled by the situation.

However, he was not the kind of person who looked back and forth, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to come up with the strategy of simultaneously taking care of three women at the fireworks festival.

After agonizing for a moment, he began to think about how to make Toka accept the situation.

But the incident happened so suddenly that he couldn't think of a good solution for the time being.

However, this matter cannot be delayed at all, because Rikka and Eriri are both people who can't keep secrets. In addition, during Rikka's spring break, she will be reminded by Toka to help out at the store every night, just like before.

If we don't go there suddenly, it might be fine for a day or two, but if it goes on for too long, it will inevitably make everyone suspicious.

If things had gone normally, it would be hard to imagine that Rikka could have successfully kept this a secret from her sister.

So he thought about it seriously for a long time and imagined what would happen if he did that. In the end, he realized that he couldn't hide it anymore. Even if he could hide it for a while, he would have to tell the truth in the end. Moreover, the longer he dragged it out, the more annoyed Shika would be with him, and she might blame him for not telling her sooner.

Having figured this out, Boss Yuan was still somewhat uneasy, but he didn't intend to run away anymore.

He dialed Shihua's number directly and asked her to come over later, as he had something important to tell her.

When Shihua received his call at home, she had just gotten up and was preparing breakfast with her mother.

His tone was very formal, and I subconsciously wanted to ask him for clarification.

But Yuan Qianye insisted on not explaining the situation over the phone and insisted on telling her in person, so she had no choice but to agree. After having breakfast, she went out and returned to her apartment.

When she arrived, it was only 8:30 in the morning.

"What's going on? Why are you being so secretive?"

Shika took off her shoes and entered the living room. Upon hearing the sound, Yuan Qianye put down the bread in his hand, stood up, and gestured for her to lower her voice.

Seeing him slowly approach, Shika mistakenly thought that this guy had deliberately tricked her into coming over so that he would drag her to exercise together again. She immediately reached out and placed her hand on his chest, trying to show an angry expression, but what she showed was only a hint of wanting to refuse.

Although it was tiring for him to drag her to exercise for several days in a row, she had rested well at home during that time, so it wasn't that she completely resisted it.

Seeing Toka's lowered eyes and her delicate hands lightly pressed against his chest, Yuan Qianye could easily understand that Toka had misunderstood something.

Although he was somewhat tempted, given his physique, let alone Eriri and Rikka working together, even if Utaha Saeko joined forces, they would have a hard time putting up a draw against him. They might be evenly matched at first, but in the end, he would most likely be unilaterally crushed.

However, remembering that they were about to get down to business, he suppressed his restless thoughts.

Therefore, Yuan Qianye simply pretended not to know, sighed, and turned his head to look at his room: "You'll know when you go and take a look."

"?" Toka was full of questions. Seeing that Gen Chiyo looked very serious, she was also a little nervous, but she still took a step.

Yuan Qianye followed behind her, one step behind.

He continued to follow Shihua as she pushed open the door and went inside.

When Shihua entered the room and saw that it was dark because the curtains were drawn, and saw that extremely familiar scent, her face turned pale instantly.

When she arrived at the bedside and saw Eriri and her younger sister sleeping soundly in each other's arms, her vision went black and her body went limp, causing her to stagger back two steps!

Fortunately, Yuan Qianye had anticipated her reaction and quickly held her to steady her.

Shihua took a few deep breaths, pushed him away, stared intently at her sleeping sister on the bed, and then walked out dejectedly.

The moment she stepped out the door, she slid slowly down to the ground, her back against the wall.

Yuan Qianye followed him out and closed the door.

Seeing Toka's current state, he felt a pang of pity and was about to apologize when Toka suddenly stood up again, looked up at him intently, and asked, "What... happened?"

Even now, she still clings to a sliver of self-deceptive hope that the scene she just witnessed was not what she imagined.

Yuan Qianye could only look at her with a heavy heart, raising his hand to gently stroke her cheek, while softly saying, "I'm sorry..."

"—!"

Shi Hua's eyes turned fierce, and she directly raised her hand to slap his hand away, while simultaneously raising it high and swinging it down!

Yuan Qianye stood motionless in place, showing no intention of dodging.

In the end, Shihua's slap stopped in front of his cheek; she still couldn't bring herself to strike.

This... nemesis!

But he couldn't bring himself to slap him, and several merciless punches still landed firmly on his chest.

After Toka calmed down a bit from her outburst, the two of them had already come to the living room from the corridor.
