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

When Hayasaka Ai saw the familiar figure walking out from below, her first reaction was to crouch down, putting herself in a blind spot from below!

Heh, interesting~

Her beloved daughter's reaction further confirmed Nao Hayasaka's suspicions and made her feel even more certain that she had done the right thing.

However, what happened next surprised her a little.

The boy below, as if sensing something from a spider, suddenly shifted his body to avoid the hair tie she threw at him.

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.

Yuan Qianye did not possess spider sense; he possessed something far more powerful than spider sense.

He looked up immediately and saw a very beautiful woman staring at him with a slightly surprised expression.

Their eyes met, and without much hesitation, Hayasaka Nao smiled, picked up her ostrich-like daughter who was squatting on the ground, and waved to him in a friendly manner.

Upon seeing Hayasaka Ai's embarrassed expression and comparing their strikingly similar faces, Minamoto Chiya understood the relationship between them.

To his surprise, he saw a white exclamation mark above the woman's head.

Legend has it that when a person's desire becomes too strong, the gods will lower their gaze upon them...

No, it's a mix-up.

It was just a long-awaited task notification.

Yuan Qianye thought for a moment, picked up the hair tie, and walked up the stairs on the other side to stand in front of the two of them.

Hayasaka Nao rested her chin on her hand and tilted her head slightly.

"Sorry, we were just getting our hair done, and this just fell down by accident."

"It's ok."

Chiya handed over the hair tie, and Hayasaka Ai took it and whispered a thank you.

She still hasn't quite grasped the reason why her mother did this on purpose.

Nao Hayasaka, on the other hand, appeared poised and confident at this moment.

"Hello, I'm Ai's mom. You must be Yuan. Ai mentioned you to me privately."

Seeing that she had extended her hand, Yuan Qianye felt it wouldn't be polite to be impolite and shook her hand in return.

Hello, Auntie.

Looking closely at Hayasaka Ai's mother, you'll find that she has a more reserved demeanor and appears very calm and composed.

"I really didn't expect to run into you here. It's a pity I have work right now, otherwise I could have treated you properly."

So polite...

Yuan Qianye was a little confused about the aunt's intentions, so he didn't reply for the time being, but just smiled and looked at Hayasaka Ai beside him.

Hayasaka Ai tied her hair back up and noticed that Minamoto Chiya was looking at her. She could completely understand how he felt. He was probably wondering why her mother was acting so strangely.

Overwhelmed with emotion, she quickly hugged her mother's arm and shook it gently: "Mom, please stop talking. Don't you have things to do?"

She is a mother-obsessed woman and loves her mother very much, but in the current situation, she can't wait for her mother to leave.

But Hayasaka Nao just patted her head affectionately without replying. Instead, she looked at Minamoto Chiya and continued to say to herself, "This child is all alone here. I see you are also alone. If possible, I was thinking that you two could keep each other company and travel around, make some friends or something."

"mom!"

The mother, who seemed innocent and kind, and her daughter, who looked quite embarrassed.

What exactly is going on?

However, following the mother's words, Yuan Qianye did indeed have her own ideas, which she had had for a long time.

He faced Hayasaka Ai,

"Last time we met at the Touma residence, you were discussing serious matters and then left in such a hurry that I didn't have a chance to speak. This time is perfect, though. If you don't mind, could we exchange contact information?"

Eh?

Hayasaka Ai's mind suddenly went blank at that moment, until her mother, whose smile remained unchanged, gently poked her with her elbow.

Seeing Yuan Qianye looking at her with her phone in hand, she quickly took out her own phone as well.

"Well... actually, I did want to do that at the time, but it was during work hours and I felt it wasn't appropriate at someone else's house..."

Under Nao Hayasaka's smiling gaze, the two exchanged contact information.

This is wonderful; this is what youth is all about.

Love her at this age, that's how it should be, what's the point of her always clinging to her mother?

From Minamoto Chiyo's perspective, the exclamation mark above Hayasaka Nao's head slowly dissipates, accompanied by fireworks effects.

I've seen this many times before, but today I feel a different kind of sensation.

It was just a small task a mother wanted her daughter to make friends, and the reward she received was only a slight increase in charm and physique.

But it's not bad.

"I have a friend waiting for me outside. If you don't mind, Hayasaka-san, you can come along."

"No need, you can go ahead and do your work. I have some other arrangements to make."

Didn't your mom just say you're all alone...?

Yuan Qianye didn't say much, just nodded slightly.

Just then, Hayasaka Nao suddenly asked, "Gen-san, did you notice it when you were down there?"

Gen Chiya feigned ignorance: "Sensed about what?"

It was the hair tie that was thrown down, of course.

You dodged it instantly, as if you had eyes on the top of your head.

Nao Hayasaka smiled and shook her head. Seeing his reaction, she smiled again and said, "It's nothing. I made a mistake. Please get along well with Ai from now on."

Yuan Qianye nodded politely, turned and left, without revealing any flaws from beginning to end.

call--

After he left, Hayasaka Ai closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Then she opened her eyes again and looked at her mother, who had a gentle expression.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he slowly hugged her.

"Mother……"

"what?"

"As expected, you're still my favorite."

"Ha ha……"

Kasumigaoka Utaha had no idea that simply going to the restroom would unexpectedly add another member to Minamoto Chiya's already complicated circle of friends.

She sat happily in the rocking chair, waiting, her girlish heart overflowing as she swayed her toes back and forth.

Recalling how intimate the two of them had been just moments before, she couldn't help but purse her lips, suppressing her sweet, secret joy.

In her heart, today was an important day for their relationship, a day worth remembering.

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.

After accompanying Shiyu to the banquet that day, Yuan Qianye received several messages from her.

She said she wanted to invite him out for another meal to express her gratitude for how well he had taken care of her that night.

Yuan Qianye refused.

It wasn't for any other reason; it was simply because the weather got hotter and hotter as we entered August.

There was nothing absolutely necessary; he really didn't want to go outside.

However, while Kasumigaoka refused, Rikka's request couldn't be refused.

I had promised to take her to the amusement park before summer vacation, and now it's time to fulfill that promise.

"How about we go a few days later, when the weather is a bit cooler?"

"The temperature will only get higher and higher in the next two weeks. Besides, if we keep waiting, Yukino will have to go abroad again. She won't be staying for long this time."

"..."

Since Rikka has said so, Minamoto no Chiya has no reason to continue opposing.

Okay, let's go then, even if it's hot.

Everything was left to Rikka to arrange, and she invited almost all of her friends.

However, this time the amusement park trip only included the two siblings, Eriri and Yukino.

Saeko went with her father, who had returned to Japan after a long absence, to visit an old friend.

Kasumigaoka declined the offer, citing the need to work on her manuscript at home; in reality, she wasn't in a rush to finish her novel.

Knowing that Yuan Qianye would also be there, she really wanted to participate, but unfortunately, the timing was unfortunate. She had relatives visiting and was too tired to do anything else, so she had to stay home and rest.

Kazusa, as always, wasn't used to this kind of occasion, so she declined, citing practicing the piano as her reason.

Rikka had originally invited her older sister, but with the rhythmic gymnastics competition approaching, she clearly wasn't in the mood to relax and go out and have fun.

"Morning."

"Yes, good morning."

After washing up, Yuan Qianye went downstairs and saw Toka leaving for school. The two exchanged a brief greeting.

He stood in the corridor watching Shihua bend down to change her shoes.

Looking at her healthy and beautiful body curves, which were the result of her regular exercise, and the feminine tension that she inadvertently revealed, his eyes showed admiration.

People change, and different psychological states arise at different times.

As for Toka, it was when he first realized he had those feelings for her.

He felt that this was wrong and that was bad, and he was struggling internally.

Those who had been educated and cultivated a sense of propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame stood up and showed a rebellious spirit.
