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

"senior?"

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Kuriyama Mirai called out.

"I was wondering why you hadn't come yet; turns out you were cleaning!"

Looking at the blackboard eraser in Kuriyama Mirai's hand, and the blackboard that hadn't been completely erased, he instantly understood.

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you, senior."

"It's alright, do you need any help?"

"No, no need, it will be done soon, please wait a moment, senior."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mirai Kuriyama quickened her pace in erasing the blackboard.

However, due to her height, she couldn't reach some of the writing at the top of the blackboard even when she stood on tiptoe.

'Why write the words so high? They're impossible to erase!'

'I'm definitely going to be laughed at by my seniors.'

'I'm not happy!'

Just as she was about to jump up and erase the words at the top of the blackboard, a hand grabbed her little hand holding the eraser.

Her back bumped into a solid chest, and when she looked up slightly, she saw Dongfang Chen standing behind her.

"Leave it to me!"

His gentle voice echoed in her ears, and Kuriyama Mirai felt as if all her strength had been drained from her body.

Dongfang Chen quickly finished erasing the blackboard, then put the eraser down and turned around to ask if there was anything else he could help with.

Then Koga Tomoe approached him with a grin: "Oh my, isn't this the second-year high school student, Higashikata-senpai?"

Seeing her expression, Dongfang Chen's lips twitched. Another bystander, huh?

"I'm Dongfang Chen, a second-year high school student. What's wrong?"

He wasn't surprised that the junior in front of him recognized him; in a way, he was a celebrity on campus.

"Nice to meet you. I am Tomoe Koga, and I am in the same class as Kuriyama."

"I'm just a little confused. Senior Dongfang, who has never been to our class before, suddenly came to our class."

"Most importantly, Senior Dongfang actually knows Kuriyama Mirai, and they seem to have a close relationship."

　(Ma Ma Zhao) Koga Tomoe looked at the two of them with curiosity.

Dongfang Chen remained calm, but Kuriyama Mirai's reaction was somewhat off.

Her face was flushed, and she hid behind Dongfang Chen, as if she was hiding something.

Dongfang Chen: "Kuriyama and I are friends. I came to see her today because there are some things we need to take care of together. Is there anything else?"

The light in Koga Tomoe's eyes as she looked at the two of them was more intense than the other.

"Does something that requires two people to be together mean a date?"

"But, not long ago, didn't Senior Dongfang say in front of the whole school that Senior Sakurajima Mai, a senior in high school, is Senior Dongfang's girlfriend?"

"Could it be that Senior Dongfang has been dumped by Senior Sakurajima, so he has found a new target?"

"Kuriyama-san is indeed very cute, and she's also a timid, bespectacled girl..."

"That's not what you said!"

Mirai Kuriyama stepped forward and interrupted Tomoe Koga.

Chapter 162 So, were you two secretly dating?

Koga Tomoe looked at Kuriyama Mirai, who had interrupted her, with some surprise, then gave her a sly smile.

He teased, "What's wrong, Kuriyama-kun? Did I say something wrong?"

"That's not what you're saying. My senior and I are just friends. We're just handling some things together!"

Kuriyama Mirai's face instantly turned even redder, and she retorted somewhat hesitantly.

Dongfang Chen couldn't help but find the interaction between the two amusing.

He gently patted Kuriyama Mirai on the shoulder, signaling her to calm down.

Then, he said to Tomoe Koga, "That's right, we're just friends. Besides, Mai and I didn't break up, and she didn't dump me."

Koga Tomoe's eyes lit up immediately.

"So you two are secretly dating? After all, Sakurajima-senpai is a famous idol!"

She instantly conjured up a whole bunch of random plot developments in her mind.

For example, Dongfang Chen cheating on Sakurajima Mai with another woman; Sakurajima Mai being too busy with work and having her home raided...

"No need for Koga to worry about that. You haven't even finished sweeping your floor yet!"

Dongfang Chen finally understood 447. If he didn't stop this girl's gossipy nature, she would probably keep asking questions until she got to the bottom of things.

"I see."

Koga Tomoe nodded in sudden realization.

Changing the topic is a form of indirect affirmation.

Koga Tomoe looked at Kuriyama Mirai and said with a grin, "Then Kuriyama-kun, you'd better watch out, Higashi-senpai is very popular!"

Kuriyama Mirai blushed again, lowered her head, and said softly, "I've already told you, senpai and I are just friends..."

She would steal glances at Dongfang Chen's expression from time to time, trying to glean something from his face.

After the Void Shadow incident, she became aware of the feelings that had grown deep within her, feelings called 'like'.

Although it is not yet strong, it definitely exists.

But when she heard that Dongfang Chen had a girlfriend, her eyes dimmed a little.

She used to never care about school celebrities or events.

He was preoccupied with his mission here and his revenge.

Dongfang Chen turned to Koga Tomoe and said, "Alright, what other places in the classroom need to be tidied up?"

"That is, sweeping and taking out the trash (bacc). Originally, it was supposed to be me and Kuriyama who did it, but since Higashi-senpai and Kuriyama are busy, I can take care of the rest."

Tomoe Koga waved generously.

He added, "I'll keep it a secret."

"Thank you, then I'll have to trouble you, Koga-kun."

Dongfang Chen smiled and thanked him.

Then, turning to Kuriyama Mirai behind him, he said, "Let's go. The Nase family is probably already there waiting for us."

"Ah? Okay, sure."

Kuriyama Mirai went to get her schoolbag, and the two of them walked out of the classroom together.

Watching Dongfang Chen and Lishan Qilai disappear around the corner, Koga Tomoe felt a pang of emotion.

Everyone has their own secrets!

She glanced at the empty classroom again, a bitter look on her face: "Oh no, after cleaning, I won't have time to go shopping with Rena and the others..."

the other side.

After leaving the classroom, Dongfang Chen and Lishan Weilai walked side by side, but the atmosphere was slightly silent.

Kuriyama Mirai looked at Dongfang Chen beside her, hesitating several times as if she wanted to say something.

He was certainly aware of Kuriyama's future gaze.

"Just ask whatever you want to ask. Hesitating isn't your style."

Seeing that she was once again on the verge of speaking but couldn't say it, he asked her first.

"Um, is that your girlfriend, senior?"

She asked the question in a very soft voice, yet it seemed as if she had used a great deal of strength.

"Does having a girlfriend mean Kuriyama-san no longer considers me a friend?"

He asked rhetorically.

Although he is cunning, he can no longer take the initiative.

"No, it's just, it's just..."

But if the senior has a girlfriend, shouldn't she keep her distance from him?

Will I eventually have to go back to living alone?

Dongfang Chen rubbed her head and said, "Don't think about so many things. Just follow your heart."

“We are not ordinary people. Many of the ways of thinking and even the laws of ordinary people do not apply to us.”

Rules are made for the weak; the wealthy, powerful, and influential often trample on these so-called rules.

Looking at his profile, Mirai Kuriyama suddenly felt a little unfamiliar with him.
