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

"Thank you so much." Yuan Qianye slowly lay down, let out a long, comfortable sigh, and closed his eyes.

Although Toka needs to stand for long periods of time to practice gymnastics, her thighs are not stiff, but very soft and have a great feel.

Shihua looked at his fresh and handsome face, her cheeks slightly flushed, and gently pressed his head: "Good luck in tomorrow's competition too. Tomorrow, I, your parents, and I will all be there to cheer you on."

"Well, don't worry."

Rikka came out of the bathroom after taking a shower: "Chiya, is your head feeling unwell? I can give you a massage."

Seeing this, Shika was about to give up her spot, but Gen Chiya exerted force on her head, preventing her from moving.

He said to Rikka, "There are grapes in the fridge. Go wash them for me. Remember to add baking soda and gently scrub them clean with warm water."

"You want to eat grapes? No problem."

Rikka was very happy to do as instructed.

Tomorrow's match is of utmost importance to Qianye, and she is happy to do whatever he asks during this period.

Toka seemed to realize something about this, but she didn't say anything more.

She simply dared not look down at him any longer and turned her gaze to the television.

On the second day of the competition, there were far fewer participants at the venue.

However, the audience seats were still packed.

Many people didn't even have seats and stood by the fence to watch the game.

That's true; on the second day of the competition, all the remaining teams were strong.

From a spectator's perspective, this is definitely more exciting than the first day's matches.

Today, the number of support groups for Chiya Minamoto and Saeko Busujima has increased significantly.

Not only were all of Chiyo's family members present, but Yukino's older sister and mother, as well as Eriri's mother, were also there.

Caught between these women, Yuan's father felt a mix of emotions about his son's popularity with women, but also gained a deeper understanding of the situation.

Incidentally, Touma and her daughter also came to the event, but they sat in a different area and did not join the others.

The match started quickly.

The situation at Chuanlan Middle School, which had already attracted the attention of reporters, did not disappoint them, both in the boys' and girls' groups.

Apart from Chiya Minamoto and Saeko Busujima, the other contestants didn't perform poorly; they simply gave their all, which was in line with the level expected of middle school students.

After two rounds of competition, the two once again lived up to the expectations of the audience, successfully defeating four and five opponents in succession.

Scenes that were rarely seen in previous Yulongqi events occurred one after another during today's competition, making it incredibly exciting!

Another match has ended, and now they are the only junior high school team left in the stadium.

As the competition continues, the intervals between later matches become shorter and shorter.

Yuan Qianye is alright, with his current physique as strong as an ox.

The competition, which was at the high school level, did not take much to his physical exertion.

But Saeko Busujima is different. No matter how good she is, or how much she trains during this period of time...

After fighting against more than a dozen people in a row, and without getting enough rest, she inevitably started to breathe rapidly.

I started to feel some pressure.

She has an extraordinary talent for kendo, but in terms of physical strength, she is still at the level of a junior high school girl.

"call!"

After eliminating four more opponents, Yuan Qianye returned to the sidelines, ending the match against one of the opposing teams.

After removing his mask, he appeared normal except for a slightly faster breathing rate. He didn't even sweat much, except for feeling a bit hot.

The accompanying advisor and school doctor each massaged his shoulders and arms.

Another person handed him a sports drink, half-squatted down beside him, hugged his thighs, and skillfully kneaded them to relieve his lactic acid fatigue.

How many more matches are needed?

"The women's team has three more matches left, but the men's team... has five more. How are you doing? Can you make it?"

"Yeah, it's nothing."

Saeko Busujima, who was also sitting and resting nearby, looked at Chiya Minamoto and met his gaze.

Noticing that she was not only breathing faster but also sweating on her forehead, Yuan Qianye simply smiled at her and nodded slightly as encouragement.

There's no need for further words at this moment; the right thing to do is to let her seize every opportunity to recover her strength.

The women's team had a close call in the later matches, but ultimately escaped unscathed.

Under the tactical guidance of the consultant.

The other four players didn't aim to score points; their only goal was to stall for time as much as possible to allow Saeko to recover her strength, and ultimately they succeeded in winning.

The situation for the men's team was utterly hopeless.

Of course, this refers to the rivals of Kawaii Middle School, led by Chiya Minamoto.

The remaining high schools, all thinking about how to get a middle school to win two championships, simultaneously launched a war of attrition tactics!

You should know that the very strong Saeko Busujima is a prime example.

She is very strong, but she also has weaknesses.

After the final match, she was so exhausted that she knelt down on one knee on the field, supporting herself with her bamboo sword.

Presumably, the same applies to Yuan Qianye. No matter how skilled a middle school student is in swordsmanship, his stamina cannot be limitless, right?

The problem lies in their thinking.

While not inexhaustible, Yuan Qianye's stamina far exceeded everyone's expectations.

He was like someone with cheat codes, a tireless sword-wielding machine who never got tired and had no weaknesses!

Not to mention the short breaks between each match, it feels like even if a dozen or twenty people came and relentlessly ganged up on him, he could handle it with ease and wear them down!

He couldn't be happier that his opponent was so eager to fight, a hothead who wanted to clash head-on with him.

As they wished, he unilaterally crushed them with his monstrous strength.

In the end, he finished the final match without any suspense.

The moment he raised the bamboo sword in his hand and took off his hood and threw it aside.

A burst of cheers and applause erupted inside the stadium, nearly lifting the roof off.

His teammates rushed onto the field like crazy, hugged him in the middle, and cried and laughed at the same time!

After the match, Gen Chiya was surrounded by more than a dozen reporters for interviews.

At this moment, after being featured on live television by various television stations, he has already garnered even more honors.

"Double champion", "the first junior high school champion in the history of the Yulongqi competition", "47 consecutive wins in a single competition that is worthy of being listed in the Guinness World Records", "zero loss record in all known competitions", "an unprecedented and unparalleled kendo genius", "god"... and so on.

When asked about his specific feelings after winning the championship in this event.

Gen Chiya pulled his teammates, who had been neglected to the side, and the two teachers who were with him to his side, and they all faced the camera together.

He emphasized that this was a team event, and he could not have achieved these results by relying solely on his own strength.

He also took a moment to point out to the reporters his friends and family in the audience, saying that he probably wouldn't have won the championship without their encouragement.

These are all just humble remarks.

Afterwards, he was asked by reporters about his future plans.

He smiled, revealing his clean, white teeth: "The day after tomorrow, I will be participating in the National Youth Piano Competition at the Tokyo Bunka Concert Hall. I hope everyone will support me just as much as they do now."

Ignoring the uproar, the bewildered expressions, and the various reactions of the reporters, he finished what he had to say and then slipped away.

Having spent so much time with Touma Yoko, some of his original views have changed.

There's nothing wrong with people being high-profile when there's profit to be made.

He now hopes to use his fame to double his parents' business from its current level!

That evening, Yuan's father, despite incurring significant financial losses, booked a hall at a renowned luxury hotel to host a celebratory banquet for his son.

Today, Qianye's teammates, accompanying teachers, friends and family members who came to cheer for Qianye were all invited!

…………

096: Their Life Consultation (6500) (19/46)

Park Lane International Center Hotel, Tokyo.

This is not a hotel that offers great value for money for the general public. Its four-star rating means that the prices there will not be cheap.

Even so, this did not stop a father who was genuinely proud of his son from coming here to hold a post-match celebration for him.

Everything went smoothly; the hotel made a call and quickly cleared out a separate meeting room.

A dozen or so waiters and chefs were busy moving around, and the setup was basically complete before the guests arrived.

As requested by the generous father, the banquet featured a diverse array of dishes, including Japanese, Western, and modern Chinese styles.

On the central round table, there is a champagne tower sparkling under a crystal chandelier.

In short, he didn't care about expenses at all this time; he just wanted his son to act as the host and make him look good as much as possible!

He was already experiencing both pain and pleasure, and was prepared for a massive hemorrhage tonight.

A four-star hotel, with an entire banquet hall including a garden, including venue fees, dedicated waiters, drinks, and food expenses...

All of these combined would amount to at least three million.

But it was a pleasant surprise that someone voluntarily covered all the expenses for the celebration party.

It wasn't his son's friends, or their parents.
