In crossover anime, who isn't a childhood friend?

As soon as Shika got home last night, he told her about it. Before going to bed, she learned a lot of details from Liuhua in her room.

For example, this opportunity was entirely secured by Saeko at the risk of losing out herself, in order to help her sworn brother.

She's such a good girl.

Even from an outsider's perspective, one would genuinely feel a sense of goodwill towards her.

Shi Hua, being a girl, was already considering marrying her.

So it's understandable that Qianye dropped the "senior sister" suffix from her and started calling her by her first name in a more intimate way.

Why do I feel inexplicably lost?

Shihua looked out the window and said, "No matter what, don't put so much pressure on yourself."

She also looked up relevant information about the Jade Dragon Flag competition last night.

After seeing the private training videos of last year's male champion team.

The video shows a group of people who don't look like students, but rather a row of people with buzz cuts who look like convicts, running around the playground with tires tied to their waists.

She began to genuinely worry that Qianye's competition might not go as smoothly as before.

Despite her worries, she didn't say anything discouraging in front of Yuan Qianye.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"You seem very sleepy, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

"That would be best... I'll go to the bathroom and then go back to sleep."

"Then I won't serve you rice yet."

"Okay, you eat first, don't worry about me."

Shika nodded, got up and walked to the door. She turned back with a puzzled look to see Yuan Qianye sitting motionless against the headboard.

"Didn't you need to go to the toilet? Why aren't you moving?"

"..."

He wanted to move, but he was currently in a large tent and couldn't leave the blanket at all.

"Sleep naked." He gave a succinct answer.

Shihua paused for two seconds, glanced at his well-fitting pajamas, nodded silently, and turned to leave the room.

After closing the door, she slowly exhaled, and a beautiful blush appeared on her slightly bowed face.

After returning to bed from the bathroom, Yuan Qianye felt a sense of relief in her lower abdomen and had just fallen asleep when she lay down on the bed.

Shihua pushed open the door for the second time in a short period of time, waking up her sworn brother who was full of resentment.

"Shihua, you'd better have something really wrong, or I'll show you what it means for the underdog to defy the superior in traditional Japanese culture."

"What are you saying, you idiot? We have guests at home. The pianist auntie is here."

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Touma Yoko's uninvited visit was quite a bother, and her intentions were very clear.

She hoped to take Yuan Qianye as her second disciple after her own daughter.

Yuan Qianye didn't particularly like the number two, but he was indeed moved by the future she planned and promised.

Once he has mastered the piano, Yaozi, as his teacher, can use her connections and various channels to pave the way for his fame and monetization.

Examples include preparing for personal performances, providing high-end private lessons, preparing classical piano albums, and engaging in commercial collaborations with major high-end brands.

This woman clearly came prepared, and immediately seized on Yuan Qianye's sore spot.

What had initially seemed like a good thing was that he could cling to this famous person's coattails and smoothly enter the classical piano music circle in the future.

Even Toka, who was accompanying her, was somewhat bewildered by the exceptionally bright future promised by Yoko.

However, Yuan Qianye ultimately held on; he now had his top priority to take care of.

He temporarily declined Yoko's offer.

When Yoko learned that he was preparing for a kendo competition, she had similar thoughts to those of Tokushima Daitaka before.

Although I was secretly worried about his extraordinary piano talent, I could only respect his decision.

But before she left, she specifically mentioned Kazusa.

"Even if you're preparing for a kendo competition, you should still have some free time sometimes. Your mother and I are friends, and Kazusa is your friend too. You can bring your older and younger sisters to our house to play anytime you have time."

Yuan Qianye nodded, indicating that he understood.

In the days that followed, Gen Chiya resumed her daily routine, just like in the latter half of last year.

I was taking online classes at home this morning. It wasn't a big deal if I got distracted occasionally, but I had to keep an eye on Rikka.

This girl has always been so-so when it comes to her studies. Before, when she was in school, it was okay because there were teachers watching over her. But now that she's studying online at home, her self-discipline alone isn't enough. Someone still needs to keep an eye on her.

Then in the afternoon, I went to Saeko Busujima's house to practice kendo with her.

They had watched videos of previous Yulongqi competitions and had a good understanding of the specific abilities of the participants.

Overall, the contestants this time are much stronger than their previous opponents.

After all, high school students are definitely much better than junior high school students in terms of physical fitness and kendo experience.

Even so, Chiya Minamoto and Saeko Busujima are very confident about the upcoming matches.

However, they did not become complacent because of this.

As the classic saying goes, "Despise the enemy strategically, but take the enemy seriously tactically."

Among the other members of the Kawana Blue Kendo Club, none of them had particularly outstanding abilities.

Besides continuing to refine his kendo skills, he spent the other half of his time training his physical fitness.

The focus is on improving endurance and stamina.

For this purpose, Saeko prepared four-pound and six-pound plain vibrating rods for herself and Chiya respectively.

This is much heavier than the bamboo swords used in competitions, and they practice with these plain vibrating rods every day.

From the initial strenuous muscle lactic acid buildup, to gradually adapting and being able to practice swinging more and more each day.

At the end of January, which also happened to be Kasumigaoka Utaha's birthday.

The Japanese government announced that, with the help of other countries, the flu vaccine has passed testing and small-scale clinical trials, and has entered the mass production stage. It is expected that vaccinations will begin in health departments across the country in mid-February.

During this time, as agreed, Yuan Qianye made a trip to the Dongma family every few days.

However, she could only stay for a short time each time. It was clear that Ms. Touma was unhappy that her student had neglected his studies and was "not doing his job" during this period. She refused to sit next to him and correct his piano playing posture as she had done before.

However, these are minor issues; overall, everything has been going quite smoothly during this period.

Not only Minamoto Chiya himself, but everyone else was the same.

For example, Kasumigaoka Utaha's new volume of Love Metronome, released in late January, sold far more than expected.

This, given the diminishing publicity surrounding Yuan Qianye's initial victory, undoubtedly demonstrates that it is a result of her own abilities.

In early February, the entire Minamoto family finally had some free time to attend the invitation extended to the Sawamura family.

…………

092: All that's missing is a capable wife.

"Mom, can you check if my hair is tied up properly at the back?"

"Very good, very perfect..."

"Then this outfit should be fine too, right?"

"No problem, it's super cute..."

"Mom! You're just brushing me off again. You didn't even look at me!"

"Phew..." Mrs. Sawamura stopped applying lipstick, looked away from the makeup mirror in front of her, and helplessly glanced at Eriri, who was fuming beside her.

My precious daughter got up very early because she was going to have dinner with Yuan Qianye's family. She changed several outfits and kept asking her anxiously how her mother looked with her clothes, complexion, hair tie, watch and other accessories.

Girls are naturally drawn to beauty, but she kept asking me questions from 8 a.m. until 10 a.m.

Her hairstyle went from loose hair to pigtails, then to braids, and then back to braids again and again. This is a bit over the top, isn't it?

"Eri, you're not going to get married..."

"Hmm? End?"

"It's not like you're going to a graduation ceremony. It's just a simple meal with your good friend's family. They've been good friends for so many years. Just be natural and don't be so nervous."

"I...I'm not nervous. Didn't you say before, Mom, that when you go to a dinner with elders, you should dress as smartly as possible?"

Eriri muttered these words, no longer trying to get advice from her mother.

With a little while before the 10:30 departure time, she turned around and went back into the house, intending to take a selfie and send it to Yukino so she could help her see if there was anything wrong with her outfit today.

Mrs. Sawamura breathed a sigh of relief after she left.

That was close.

I almost let it slip.

This silly daughter of mine thinks she's been hiding it well, and that neither her parents have noticed her little scheme.

I'll have to be a little more careful in the future.

Eriri, back in her room, lifted the sides of her pretty little dress and looked at herself from both sides in front of the full-length mirror.

She had changed her clothes three times before, going from retro style to Korean style to high school style... but in the end she returned to her usual pink and girly first love style.

Although her mother always said that her hips were normal, even smaller than those of the average girl.

But for some reason, she felt that her buttocks, paired with her particularly slender waist, made her look like a peach.

Wearing jeans, shorts, or similar bottoms will accentuate your curves.
