Crossover Anime: Starting by defeating the Dragon King, then unexpectedly meeting a child.

Turning to look at his smiling face, she said irritably, "Phew, you startled me. Also, as a junior, when you greet a senior, you should properly add 'senior sister'!"

"Hey hey, Mai-senpai, are you satisfied now?"

"So, what do you want from me?"

Sakurajima Mai looked at Dongfang Chen with suspicion.

"I just happened to see Mai-senpai and said hello."

"No way, no way, when did my Mai-senpai become so aloof that I can't even say hello anymore?"

Dongfang Chen feigned shock.

"Who, who's aloof? Don't just spout off like that!" Sakurajima Mai said, her face slightly flushed.

"Hmm, I thought Mai-senpai had become a completely different person after just a few days! Speaking of which, I think I saw on social media that Mai-senpai is preparing to make a comeback in the entertainment industry, is it true?"

Dongfang Chen also took out his phone and showed the latest updates from Mai Sakurajima.

"Yes, it is true."

She nodded and continued, "I've always loved acting in TV shows and movies, and I always wanted to keep doing it. My previous retirement was just for a reason."

"Moreover, the reason I had puberty syndrome before was because I kept lying to myself about my true feelings!"

Looking at the faint smile on her face, that's how she reacts when talking about things she likes.

Dongfang Chen nodded: "If you like it, just go for it. I will be a loyal fan of Mai-senpai and support you."

“I have plenty of fans, I don’t need you,” she said with a hint of pride.

"That's true. Since I can't be a fan, I'll just be Mai-senpai's boyfriend!"

"Who asked you to be my boyfriend? Arrogant juniors don't like seniors."

"Then I will try my best to make Mai-senpai like me."

The two walked side by side down the road, chatting idly about Tianya Mingyue Dao.

Chapter 140, a one-on-one situation, turned into a one-on-five situation.

Fengzhiqi Academy.

Today, the homeroom teacher informed us that the school will hold midterm exams next week.

This once again triggered numerous students' lamentations; they hate exams the most.

During break time, Dongfang Chen looked at the rain outside the window and felt a little sentimental.

Half of the first semester of my junior year is already over!

“Poke.”

"Morning~"

I felt a poke on my arm from the pen, and heard a soft shout from the side.

He turned to look at the source of the voice: "May, what's wrong?"

She clasped her hands together and said sincerely, "Um, I'd like to ask Chen to tutor me again..."

Although May often asks Dongfang Chen for help with knowledge points she doesn't understand after class.

But those were just some basic theories and formulas; when it came to actually solving problems, she struggled to keep up.

Dongfang Chen thought for a moment, then nodded and tapped "430": "I don't have anything urgent to deal with recently, so I'll help you out!"

The only thing I need to deal with right now is the heavy rain in Tokyo.

Then, I tutored my two young apprentices to help them achieve good results in the Mynavi Women's Shogi Open.

The two apprentices get home around 6 p.m. every day, while Dongfang Chen and his classmates get out of school at 3:40 p.m.

As before, if we give May an hour of extra tutoring after school, the time will still be more than enough.

"Thank you, Chen. I will treat you to something delicious as a way of repaying you after this."

"You can handle this as you see fit."

He smiled, not caring whether or not May would invite him to dinner.

Then, she asked Shoko, who was peeking at the two of them talking, "Shoko, are you coming to tutoring too?"

A light shone in her eyes, but it quickly dimmed again.

She shook her head slightly and politely declined, saying, "My grandmother has caught a cold recently and needs me to go home early to take care of her."

"I see. Then it's better to take care of your grandmother first. If anything goes wrong, you can ask me for help."

It's just a cold, so it's not a big problem.

If it's a life-threatening illness like Grandma Ichinose's, he wouldn't mind making the trip.

Shoko nodded: "Yes, thank you!"

She remained grateful for Dongfang Chen's kindness.

She had also thought about doing something to repay Dongfang Chen, whether it was making him a bento box or giving him a small gift.

Unfortunately, she hasn't had the chance, and she hasn't figured out what would be a suitable gift.

The school bell rang again, and the students returned to their seats.

Lunch break.

Dongfang Chen took a lunchbox and went to the physics preparation room to find Futaba Rio.

He opened the classroom door and called out to the people inside, "Futaba, I've come to have lunch with you."

"Okay, I'll finish this experiment first."

She responded briefly, then focused on her work.

"I've noticed you've been busy with experiments every day lately. Are you preparing for some physics competition?"

"No, it's just the price I have to pay for having such a big classroom all to myself."

She shook her head.

She was able to use such a large laboratory room all by herself. Although it was under the guise of a club activity, since it was an activity, she definitely had to produce some results to show for it.

Of course, it doesn't need to be too complicated; just submit a few lab reports to your advisor.

"Okay, don't work too hard. Should I talk to the principal about whether you can use this classroom until graduation?"

"No need, I still want to rely on my own abilities to retain the right to use the classroom."

She rejected Dongfang Chen's offer.

"Okay, just let me know when you need it."

Dongfang Chen smiled, expressing his understanding of Futaba Rio's insistence.

He walked over to her and looked at the experiment she was conducting. The experimental equipment and data records were all very neatly arranged, clearly showing that she was taking it very seriously.

"Do you need my help?" Dongfang Chen asked.

Rio Futaba shook her head: "I can complete this experiment by myself. Why don't you find a place to sit down first!"

Dongfang Chen nodded, sat down on a chair, and quietly observed Futaba Rio's experimental procedures.

Her movements were skillful and precise, each step performed with composure.

After a while, Rio Futaba finished the experiment and tidied up the experimental equipment.

Dongfang Chen also opened his lunchbox and prepared to eat.

……

After school in the afternoon.

Dongfang Chen and May were going to the off-campus public library they had visited before.

I had just arrived at the school gate when I ran into the older girls from May.

The lively Yotsuba waved happily and greeted, "Good afternoon, Higashi-kun!"

Miku: "May is so slow, it made us wait in the rain for so long 0"

May retorted, "Didn't I send you a message telling you to go home first? Why are you still waiting for me here?"

Nino: "We just wanted to see why you wouldn't come back with us."

May: "Isn't it midterm exams again? I'm just asking Chen to tutor me again."

Ichika looked at Dongfang Chen: "Dongfang-kun, can we join the tutoring class together? Actually, our grades are a little...unsatisfactory..."

Nino: "Are you serious?"

Miku: "I don't think Ichika has ever volunteered for tutoring before, has she?"

Yotsuba: "If it can improve my grades, I'd like to attend tutoring classes too."

The five sisters were well aware of their own academic performance; none of them had any outstanding achievements.

That is, I studied hard in May, and in addition to the monthly exam, Dongfang Chen helped me with tutoring.

This broke their long-held belief.
