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

Nakano Satsuki did not understand what Dongfang Chen meant.

At that moment, Eriri Sawamura walked up through the aisle between the two of them again...

Dongfang Chen glanced at her, feeling that she wasn't just passing by by chance, because every time she passed by, her eyes would glance in his direction.

Sure enough, she came downstairs again after a short while, and Dongfang Chen simply called out, "Sawamura-kun, is there something you need?"

Eriri Sawamura put on a sweet smile and said, "No, it's nothing. I just wanted to get to know Higashikata-kun."

In my mind, I thought, "That jerk! Didn't he see me walk by several times? He only greeted me on the third try. Am I really that unattractive?"

Dongfang Chen waved his hand lazily and said, "Oh, now that we know each other, you can go."

Instead of leaving, she leaned close to him and whispered, "How come you're in the same class as me?"

Dongfang Chen raised an eyebrow, unsure of what this girl meant: "Is it that I can't be in the same class as you or what?"

"So, that old woman was in cahoots with you, wasn't she! Let me tell you, you're not getting any chance with me!"

After saying that, Eriri Sawamura strode away and easily joined a group of girls chatting happily, as if nothing had just happened.

Nakano Satsuki, who was standing nearby, asked curiously, "Do Higashikata-san and Sawamura-san know each other? You two seem to be very close!"

"We do know each other, but it's only to the point where we occasionally bump into each other at school. We're definitely not close friends; we're not even acquaintances."

Dongfang Chen shook his head.

He wasn't familiar with Eriri Sawamura, and as for the strange things she just said, Dongfang Chen was completely baffled.

Which old woman did they conspire with?

What do you mean he wants to pursue her?

He had no idea what she was talking about; he figured Eriri Sawamura must have misunderstood something.

But that's not important to him. As for pursuing her?

I have absolutely no idea about it at the moment!

"Really? I saw Sawamura and you whispering to each other for so long just now, I thought you two were very close."

Nakano Satsuki did not doubt his words.

"Ding ding ding~"

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

The second period was Chinese class, but on the first day of school, there was no real class. It was just a matter of teachers and students introducing themselves to each other, and then the teacher talking about the general learning arrangements for Chinese class this semester.

The morning passed quickly.

During lunch break, Nakano Satsuki invited him, "Does Higashikata-kun want to go to the cafeteria for lunch together?"

"I've prepared a bento box, so I won't be going to the cafeteria."

Dongfang Chen took a large lunchbox out of his backpack and waved it around.

"In that case, I'll be going now, bye-bye!"

After saying that, Nakano Satsuki hurriedly ran out of the classroom.

Dongfang Chen glanced at Nishimiya Shoko, who sat at the table in front of him. She seemed to have brought a lunchbox as well. At that moment, two female classmates came to ask her to have lunch together.

So he took his lunchbox and left the classroom, heading easily to a laboratory in the experimental building.

I haven't seen Rio Futaba for over two weeks, and I miss her a little.

Chapter 54 The most important thing is to be happy! (Seeking flowers and ratings)

The physics preparation room is located on the third floor of the laboratory building.

"Dong dong dong."

Dongfang Chen knocked on the classroom door.

"Please come in~"

A faint sound came from inside.

"Long time no see, Futaba. Have you missed me lately?"

He opened the door and looked at the girl who was busy on the podium with a joking tone.

Rio Futaba looked at him expressionlessly: "Absolutely not. Rather, where do you get the confidence that you'll be missed?"

Dongfang Chen feigned sadness: "Oh dear, that's really heartbreaking. I think about Shuangye every day."

Rio Futaba didn't answer him, continuing with her own activities, only her earlobes, hidden by her bangs, were slightly red.

He entered the classroom and closed the door behind him.

"Look, I specially made a bento box today. Come and taste my cooking after so long!"

He waved the lunchbox in his hand.

"Oh? That's a bit of a surprise. It's rare to see you bring your own lunch to school."

Since they met more than a year ago, Futaba Rio has almost never seen Dongfang Chen bring lunch to school.

Dongfang Chen moved two stools over, sat down next to him, and then slowly opened the lunchbox.

"I took on two female apprentices during the holiday, and one of them lives with me. For the sake of my apprentices' health, I can't eat bread and fast food every day like before."

Rio Futaba put down the tweezers in her hand and turned to look at him: "Someone who can be taken as your apprentice must have some special talent, right?"

She knew that Dongfang Chen was the Dragon King of the Shogi world; he would occasionally mention it to her during their conversations.

Moreover, she secretly accessed Dongfang Chen's social media account on the official Shogi website. The news of him taking on disciples had already spread throughout the Shogi website.

However, the fact that she was living with her female apprentice made her feel a little uneasy.

Even if the other person is just an elementary school student...

"He certainly has good talent, but he's still a long way from being able to stand on his own. Alright, let's eat first!"

There were three dishes and two servings of rice on the lectern. He handed a pair of chopsticks to Futaba Rio.

"Did anything interesting happen during Futaba's vacation?"

"It's nothing, I'm just looking at some materials about quantum mechanics at home."

"That won't do. You still need to go out for a stroll occasionally."

"There's no need for that. I'd rather spend that time learning new things than wandering aimlessly in the streets."

"If you're bored, just call me. Knowledge is endless, but life is only a few short decades, so enjoy it to the fullest!"

Rio Futaba paused for a moment: "Everyone has their own preferred way of life."

"That's true, the most important thing is to be happy."

The two didn't say anything more and quietly finished their lunch.

Then, Rio Futaba took the bento box to wash it clean, repacked it, and reminded, "Lunch break is almost over, it's time to go."

"Oh, I see."

During the long-awaited reunion at lunchtime, it was just a routine and mundane exchange.

"Futaba~"

As they parted ways in the teaching building, Dongfang Chen called out to her.

She tilted her head slightly to look at him: "What?"

"If you have time this weekend, let's go see the cherry blossoms together, just the two of us," Dongfang Chen invited with a smile.

Rio Futaba's eyes widened slightly. After a few seconds of stunned silence, she turned and walked forward, her light voice carrying, "Okay~"

Seeing that she had obviously quickened her pace, Dongfang Chen smiled.

……

The afternoon classes were still not very substantial, and school ended at 3:30.

After packing her bag, Nakano Satsuki greeted him, "See you tomorrow, Higashikata-kun!"

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Nishimiya Shoko, who was in the front row, smiled and nodded at him before leaving as well.

Strolling along the school corridors, listening to the cheerful laughter of the students around me, a strange feeling welled up inside me, I didn't understand why, but it was also tinged with a faint sadness.

Until a voice rang out from behind...

"Found you, Thunder Controller!"

Dongfang Chen didn't even turn his head; in fact, he quickened his pace as he left.

He suddenly remembered that Rikka Takanashi had said before that she would come to his school for high school!

Seeing that Dongfang Chen ignored her, Takanashi Rikka quickly ran up to him, spreading her arms wide: "Wait, Thunder Controller, the Evil King's True Eye invites you to explore this brand new base together!"

"Why don't you just go by yourself?"

Dongfang Chen said expressionlessly.

Many people around were already looking at them.
