In the anime, who is not a childhood sweetheart?

Why are they surrounding Rikka now, and all of them are smiling and starting a party mode of taking three-person selfies, and are they having fun first?

As expected, festivals + gatherings can quickly improve the relationship between people.

"You're the same. You just wait for Saeko-senpai to prepare the side dishes and then cook them directly. The most enjoyable part of the cooking process is monopolized by you."

Yukinoshita Yukino was cleaning the table and added something else.

What happened last night was different between her and Kasumigaoka and Eriri.

She was shocked by the scene.

Although after her mother reminded her, she realized that it was a mistake caused by her excessive consciousness.

But the feeling she had at that time was indeed not something she could easily forget.

From her life motto of "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth", it can be seen that the second daughter of the Yukinoshita family is narrow-minded and can be understood as a jealous person in a sense.

Although we haven't reached that level of relationship yet, she doesn't have that kind of stance at all...

Busujima Saeko said kindly, "This is also good. It always feels lively and fun when everyone is preparing for dinner together."

She was chopping onions with her eyes slightly squinted, and didn't seem to be affected much.

Yuan Qianye beside him blinked faster.

As for Yukino, who was the farthest away from the chopping board, she was the most affected and had already taken out a second tissue to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Yuan Qianye replied with a smile: "I'm not the only one who thinks so. I also think that festivals are more lively when everyone can get together."

"By the way, I haven't thanked Qianye-kun yet."

"Why are you thanking me all of a sudden?"

"After all, if you, Qianye Jun, hadn't invited me, I would be alone at home right now."

"With Saeko-senpai's excellent mindset, she definitely wouldn't be bothered by something like this."

"It was like this before, but after having lively and happy experiences, it becomes difficult to endure the feeling of loneliness. After all, I am a girl too." Saeko spoke softly and calmly.

At this moment, Yukino asked, "Saiko-sister, are you usually alone at home?"

"Well, my mom passed away when I was very young, and my dad has his own career to attend to. I can't be so ignorant as to hold him back."

Yuan Qianye interrupted: "If I remember correctly, you've been living alone since sixth grade, right?"

"Well, it happened that at that time, my father had to go overseas for work, and he asked me if I was willing to live abroad with him.

But compared to a strange land, I still prefer the place where I grew up, so I stayed and took care of our important home, waiting for him to come back. "

Yukino was deeply touched and continued to ask, "Saiko-sister, you should have a nanny or something to take care of you at home, right?"

"We do have someone at home who's responsible for cleaning the yard and doing house repairs and maintenance, but I can take care of myself in terms of daily life, so I didn't ask my father to make any extra arrangements."

It always feels a bit sad to hear these words coming from the mouth of a junior high school student.

But judging from Saeko's expression, she really doesn't care about her situation.

How strong can a person's heart be to be able to take care of himself at such a young age?

If you put yourself in her shoes.

In terms of life, Yukino is confident that she can achieve the same level as Busujima Saeko.

But in terms of mental state, there is definitely no way to remain as calm and composed as her.

Can't compare to her...

As she thought about it, Xueno seemed a little discouraged.

She found that her childhood sweetheart became more and more outstanding as he grew older.

The people he knows, regardless of other aspects, are all very outstanding talents in their respective fields of focus.

When I was a child, before I met Eriri.

He is usually like a sticky candy, he just wants to stay by her side and follow her actions, and he can't be shaken off.

But now, everything has changed.

There is no going back to the situation when I was a kid...

Yuan Qianye urged, "Don't wipe it anymore, the plate is reflecting light. Hurry and bring it over. My signature dish, Mapo Tofu, is about to be served."

"I know you don't like spicy food, Yukino, so I didn't cut the ginger when I prepared the ingredients just now." Busujima Saeko is considerate and attentive to others, and her words and actions exude a strong maternal atmosphere.

Xue Noi was in a complicated mood, feeling awkward yet also a little touched. Only Yuan Qianye cried out,

"You didn't even chop the ginger? The flavor of this dish would be greatly reduced!"

"Well, it's okay if it happens once in a while. Maybe everyone will like it better without the ginger."

With just a few words, Saeko Busujima resolved the chef's dissatisfaction.

The kitchen is also bustling with activity.

It’s a pity that Shihua is not at home today because she went to the store to help, otherwise it would be more lively.

----

Let’s skip the peaceful time of eating for now.

Everyone, with their own thoughts, maintained a cheerful appearance on the surface, as if friendship was at its peak.

Apart from the fact that Rika, the little foodie, has an exaggerated eating posture, there is nothing else worth noting.

The important part is after the meal.

Before Busujima Saeko and Kasumigaoka existed...

Before I even knew them.

When only Gen Chiye, Yukinoshita and Eriri are with each other.

After dinner, they usually play small games such as flying chess or poker to draw joker cards.

To cultivate an unbreakable and long-lasting iron triangle relationship between them.

This time, of course, there is also this link.

Rika generously contributed the game console she had won during her previous trip to Osaka, but there were six people present today.

Even if she purchased an extra set of controllers and separated the two sets of controllers, it would only support four people playing at the same time.

Not long after Liuhua pulled the others to play the motion game.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was involved in this, noticed Busujima Saeko who had made tea and brought it to Minamoto Chiya.

I saw the two of them sitting on the sofa, close to each other and smiling at each other, and took a deep breath.

"oops--"

Following the movements shown in the game, Kasumigaoka, who was jumping, suddenly stumbled.

After letting out a natural cry, she slowly squatted down and covered her ankles.

Liuhua was the most innocent, she immediately stopped what she was doing and came over to ask worriedly, "Sister Shiyu, are you okay?"

Gen Chiya and Busujima Saeko also put down their teacups and stood up.

Yukinoshita watched silently from the side.

Eriri expressed deep sympathy for Kasumigaoka while laughing secretly.

It’s not that she was gloating, she was seeing the score of the character she was controlling on the TV screen, and finally surpassed Kasumigaoka!

That’s right, she is just like Rika. When she plays games, she really gets into it and has a strong desire to win.

She herself was completely unaware that Kasumigaoka, whom she regarded as her competitor, was not on the same track as her.

"Ah, it's okay. I just didn't stand firmly and twisted my leg a little. I'm really not very good at sports."

After being helped up, Kasumigaoka spoke apologetically.

She signaled everyone not to worry and that she would be fine after sitting down and resting for a while.

"It's almost time for a change, Saeko, go play for a while."

As she said this, Kasumigaoka smoothly handed the game controller in her hand to Busujima Saeko.

Rikka was still worried: "If it hurts too much, I have ointment at home."

"Thank you, Rikka, but it's okay, I can just rub it myself later." Kasumigaoka had a good idea.

Later, she will sit on the sofa with Yuan Qianye just like Busujima Saeko did just now.

She leaned closer and silently stretched her "injured" ankle diagonally on the sofa, with the sole of her foot facing upwards and her toes pointing towards him.

At that time, she put on a more painful posture, bit her lower lip, and made a hissing sound. She thought that Qian Ye, such a gentle person, should not ignore her situation.

She would definitely receive a certain degree of care, and it was even possible that he would personally reach out his hand to help her soothe and relieve her pain out of concern.

In addition, what she was wearing today was the latest pair of Wolford brand stockings she had purchased. They were high-end products worth more than ten thousand yuan, and they were excellent in both appearance and feel.

The little leather shoes were also a new style. She took a taxi directly when she went out at night. The distance she walked from home to here was no more than a hundred steps.

She also has the confidence that there won't be any strange smell that would make people uncomfortable.

Maybe because she took a milk aromatherapy bath before going out, there might still be some lingering fragrance...

On this side, Kasumigaoka saw Busujima Saeko take the game controller, sit on the sofa with the support of Gen Chiye, and started fantasizing.

But at this moment, Yukino-chan, who had been observing silently, suddenly became sharp in her eyes!

"Indeed." Yukino nodded slightly.

The moment Kasumigaoka opened her mouth, she instinctively felt something was wrong.

"We can't just play all the time. Let's switch players. Qianye, you should go play for a while too."

Xueno walked over slowly and handed her game controller to Yuan Qianye.

So, the person sitting next to Kasumigaoka became Yukino.

The four people in front faced the TV screen and started playing.

The two people sitting on the sofa acting as spectators sat quietly.

The excitement was all theirs, and there was nothing on their side but silence.

Kasumigaoka was quite upset. She didn't know whether Yukino's behavior was intentional.

After all, the second young lady, who comes from a well-off family, is not like Ying Lili, who would show her worries clearly on her face.

In addition, at this moment, Eriri, because of the relationship between the two teams, happily clapped and celebrated with Gen Qianye after the victory.

This obviously shouldn't be the case. This is not the result she expected at all!

After enduring for more than ten minutes, Kasumigaoka felt that the time was about up.

While the game was over and everyone was paused, she started to make moves again: "I suggest that we play a game that everyone can participate in at the same time, how about it?"

Rikka really thought that she was still feeling the pain from the kick she had just received and couldn't participate in the next game session.

Although he hadn't had enough fun yet, out of his kind nature, he was the first to respond.

Yuan Qianye also nodded.

Of course, Busujima Saeko would have no objection.

She stays at home alone all day, and she finds it very interesting to be able to be with everyone she gets along well with, even if it's just sitting and chatting.

The four of them all agreed, and naturally, Yukino and Eriri had no objections either.

Everyone had different opinions about the next game session.

Yuan Qianye is a traditional conservative, and suggested playing poker the old way, drawing the joker card, and the loser would have a note stuck on his face.
