In the anime, who is not a childhood sweetheart?

Yukino Eriri and Rikka sat on one side, Busujima Saeko and Kasumigaoka sat on the other side.

When the waiter came over to take the order, Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled and said everyone was welcome, appearing very enthusiastic.

Unable to refuse the kind offer, Gen Chiye and Busujima Saeko expressed their gratitude and each ordered a single set meal.

As for others, including herself, they only ordered a drink.

Wait until the waiter leaves.

Busujima Saeko tilted her head and asked with concern, "Kasumigaoka-san, don't you want to eat something?"

"Ah, I just ate a lot of fruit at Yuanjun's house. I gain weight easily, so I can't eat too much at night."

"Is that so? But in my opinion, Kasumigaoka-san, you're not fat at all. In fact, you have a pretty good figure."

"I'm lazy all day and don't exercise much, so my figure is no match for Busujima-senpai..."

It's not self-deprecation, it's true.

They are the same age, but Busujima Saeko has developed quite well, probably because she has been practicing kendo since she was a child, exercising regularly, and getting enough nutrition. She has already started to have the outline of a curvy figure when she was in junior high school. Touka's underwear is a little tight for her.

On the other hand, Kasumigaoka Utaha is the complete opposite. She is a literary girl who prefers quietness to activity. Although she has inherited her mother's excellent genes perfectly and her face is likely to be even better than her mother's, her future in other areas may also be quite promising.

But now, in terms of body shape, there is really no way to compare them head-on.

Kasumigaoka was chatting happily with Saeko Busujima beside her. After a pause, she secretly glanced at Minamoto Chiye who was drinking water, and mustered up the courage to speak boldly.

"...If you don't mind, Busujima-senpai, just call me Shiyu. Everyone else should do the same."

Kasumigaoka first looked at Busujima Saeko, then turned her gaze sincerely to other people, and finally naturally stopped her gaze on Gen Chiye.

Everyone's reaction is different.

Busujima Saeko smiled and nodded, indicating that she understood, and naturally asked Kasumigaoka to call her Saeko like everyone else.

Yukinoshita only nodded slightly, but did not directly respond to Kasumigaoka's words. Instead, she said calmly: "Some things don't need to be rushed, everyone will get along naturally."

She noticed the last look in Kasumigaoka's eyes, which was very attentive and lingered on Yuan Qianye. The sudden softening of his gaze compared to when he looked at them made her feel inexplicably unhappy.

Kasumigaoka was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded: "That's what Yukinoshita-san said. Please take care of me in the future."

"each other."

Eriri was trying to suppress her laughter at this moment.

Although everyone seemed calm at the moment, she, who had been paying attention to Kasumigaoka, clearly saw the helpless look on that guy's face for a moment after Yukino spoke!

It's so funny that you can have that kind of expression!

Yukino is the best!

As for Rikka, after the excitement of learning that Kasumigaoka Utaha was a light novel writer at home had passed, she now realized that something was wrong through observation.

It seems... it seems... Eriri and Yukino don't get along well with Teacher Kasumi Shiko.

She had no bad intentions and simply wanted to be friendly to her new friends.

In addition, just think about it and you will know that if the two of them really don't get along with each other, then the one who will suffer the most will definitely be Qian Ye, who is caught in the middle.

In the past, she was the one who was taken care of. Now that it is a rare moment for her to play a role, she naturally feels obligated to do so.

Therefore, Liuhua intends to take on the responsibility of her younger sister, and at present neither of them stands on the side of the other.

Friends are precious, but Nissan is even more valuable! At this stage, she only supports her sworn brother!

It is necessary to liven up the atmosphere which seems a bit dull at the moment!

Yuan Qianye was very pleased. Although he didn't know how the little fool Liuhua came to his senses, it was indeed thanks to her that at the following dinner table, there was constant conversation because of her efforts, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Kasumigaoka and Yukino also communicate a lot with each other.

At one point, they talked about the mental journey that Kasumigaoka went through when facing external pressure while writing novels.

As well as Yukinoshita's study experience in an unfamiliar environment when she was studying abroad, and what she heard and saw that she found interesting.

Others also joined in with great interest.

At this time, Kasumigaoka Utaha discovered that Gen Chiye, who only occasionally agreed with her, had been paying more attention and had been looking out the window in front of him.

She glanced out the window as if sensing something.

There is a shopping mall across the street. There is a large electronic screen right above the entrance of the mall, which is currently showing an advertisement of black stockings endorsed by a female model.

When the advertisement was over, she turned her attention to Yuan Qianye again. He had already turned his gaze away and was chatting and laughing with the others sitting there.

She slowly lowered her head with very small movements, and her soft legs were slightly brought together under the table.

The dress she wore today paired with sandals revealed her fair ankles and calf skin.

She felt as if she had noticed something again. She thought her legs were in good shape and maybe she could try it next time.

The restaurant served the food very quickly. They probably knew it would be busy today, so they sent extra staff in advance.

At 6:40 they finished their meal and walked out of the restaurant.

It was beginning to get noticeably darker outside.

They walked through the crowded crowd and entered Sumida Park, the central point for the best viewing of the fireworks festival.

Not far away is the Sumida River, known as the mother river of Tokyo.

In a few minutes, the fireworks will be ignited and released there.

----

In the past few years, Eriri and Yukino Chiya had also come out to watch the fireworks.

Everyone was holding various delicacies or toys from the festival, and everyone was very happy as they smelled the faint smoke from the fireworks.

It’s true that they are precious memories, but I always feel that they are different from today.

They are in junior high school this year and are no longer children. In addition, Yukino has returned to them after a long time. After tonight, she will fly abroad again and be alone.

So Eriri wanted to leave a different memory tonight as much as possible. This was the farewell gift she was preparing to comfort her friends who were about to leave.

But now, because an unexpected guy suddenly broke in, all her plans that she had made on paper became a mess.

But the reality is already like this, nothing can be changed.

The only thing to be thankful for is that at least Yukino doesn't seem to be affected by this incident...

Well...at least on the surface that's the case...

When you are looking for a suitable spot to watch the fireworks in a crowded park.

Gen Qianye's unusual behavior brought Eriri back to her senses from her depressed mood.

He suddenly stretched out his foot and tripped a man who was walking hurriedly towards him, and at the same time reached out and snatched the lady's wallet from his hand.

Everything happened so suddenly.

The strange man was obviously furious, but when he saw the boy in front of him looking directly into his eyes without any fear, his expression was quite sarcastic and provocative, and he seemed to be looking forward to the upcoming live-action fight.

His momentum obviously weakened, and he cursed under his breath before turning and running away.

Yuan Qianye was too lazy to chase him. He trotted forward and caught up with a girl wearing a baseball cap and a mask. "Hello, you dropped your wallet."

The girl took a half step back at first, but finally reacted after hearing what he said. She lowered her head to look at her small shoulder bag that had been unzipped at some point, stretched out her hands to take it, bowed and thanked him repeatedly.

Yuan Qianye waved his hand, not seeming to care.

Doing one good deed a day is just a small episode.

Gained a small increase in some attribute values.

But when he turned around and walked among his female friends, each of them looked at him with beautiful eyes, like ripples on the water, implying different thoughts.

Liuhua, who thought she had just experienced a crime, was the most excited, her blood boiling, and she was the first to speak: "Qianye, how did you find out?"

Yuan Qianye rubbed her head and said, "I just happened to see it. Besides, you're different from me. If a girl like you encounter something like this out there, don't get involved. At most, it would be enough to warn the owner or call the police."

"I understand." Liuhua nodded obediently. She knew Qianye was worried about her. She had indeed seen the resentful look in the thief's eyes after his good deeds were ruined.

If she, a sub-healthy, semi-housewife girl who had difficulty unscrewing the cap of a soda bottle, really dared to stop the criminal from committing a crime, the consequences would probably not be like what happened to Qian Ye just now. She might even have the ahoge on her head beaten off.

"That's right." Xueno raised her chin with a smile on her face, her words were simple and shocking.

Yuan Qianye was amused by her cool words and cool actions: "Second Miss, since you said it's good, then it must be really good."

Xue Noi was a little annoyed: "Don't call me Second Miss."

Yuan Qianye's main point is to listen to advice: "Below the good cat."

Yukino didn't want to pay attention to her, although she did like the nickname "Nakashita" in her heart.

But she still pretended not to bother with him, and after giving him a glance that seemed half angry and half annoyed, she walked forward.

Like Rikka, Eriri looked at him with admiration and expressed her praise before following him.

Everyone walked forward again.

Utaha Kasumigaoka and Saeko Busujima surrounded him on the left and right, enjoying the treatment of being the center of attention.

Although the former only officially met him today, she has a strong sense of being the heroine in her heart, even more so than the food-protecting Eriri.

She deliberately bumped into a passerby, apologized politely to the other person, and naturally moved closer to Yuan Qianye.

She held her head high and tilted her head slightly towards him while speaking. By combining so many small movements together, she declared her sovereignty and stopped the many girls coming and going from looking at Yuan Qianye.

"In a situation like that just now, most people would probably choose to turn a blind eye. You are indeed a brave and kind person, Yuan Jun."

This is different from Yukino, whose personality may have been partially affected by spending too much time with Eriri.

Busujima Saeko praised directly and openly, her words were very clear, and her eyes showed appreciation and approval.

Yuan Qianye accepted the praise, but also asked, "What would Senior Dudao do if he encountered such a situation?"

Busujima Saeko turned her head to look at his half-smile and vaguely understood something.

“So, we are the same kind of people.”

Without making any expression, he returned the compliments that were directed at him.

Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke up at this moment: "Although this may be a bit inappropriate, I still want to ask, can I ask a favor of Gen-kun?"

"Ok?"

"After meeting Yuan Jun, and just witnessing that incident, a lot of plot ideas flashed through my mind. So from now on, the male protagonist in my book may have to refer to you to a certain extent."

"I?"

Yuan Qianye was flattered, but pretended to be flattered.

His reaction was very pleasing to Kasumigaoka, and the emotional value given by him as both a fan and an object of gratitude was instantly maximized.

"Um...Is it okay?"

"Of course, it's really an honor for me to be able to see myself reflected in Kasumi Shiko's subsequent novels. I never dared to imagine this before."

"Then it's settled."

"I'll buy it later... It's called the Love Metronome, right? I'll buy it to support Shiyu."

"Thank you, Sister Saeko. You don't have to buy it specially. If you're interested, I can bring it to you next time."

A few of them chatted and laughed, and luckily they found a sloping grassy slope.

After sitting down, you will be facing the Sumida River where the fireworks will be launched into the sky.

At 7:10, it was completely dark.

At this moment, the usually empty Sumida Park was crowded with people.

Everyone was influenced by the atmosphere of the festival, chatting and laughing, exchanging joyful glances with each other.

Ten minutes later, exactly as advertised, a sharp whistle was heard from the other side of the river!

I saw a bright flame leaping high into the sky, the light gradually dimming, and suddenly, on the darkest night sky, a gorgeous flower exploded, and the light strips outlining the flowers fell quickly, and countless spots of light spread out.

"Wow!" Liuhua raised her head, her pure eyes full of amazement.

Ying Lili also looked up at the night sky in a daze.

Fireworks were truly incredible. Her originally not-so-joyful and even somewhat depressing mood seemed to have vanished with the loud noise just now.
