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

However, as they struggled, strangely, that dissenting voice gradually disappeared.

As he grew accustomed to it, he gradually began to think that the saying "a gentleman judges by his actions, not his intentions" was truly accurate. If one only thinks about something without taking any real action, then it really doesn't matter.

However, as time went by, and now it's only to this extent, the fantasies in my mind seem to be unable to be satisfied again.

I'm increasingly eager to make it a reality; I'm itching to do it...

"What?"

Toka noticed that Chiya was staring intently at her, and that burning gaze, simply by being fixed on her without moving, made her inexplicably flustered.

Yuan Qianye remained completely calm, his gaze unchanged as he clenched his fist and thrust it downwards.

"Practicing rhythmic gymnastics, Fighting!"

"Um……"

Shihua responded softly, her beautiful eyes blinking, but she still didn't notice anything amiss. Her heart pounding, she turned and left.

Their current relationship is the best lubricant and neutralizer.

Even the closest of care and concern, or the most inappropriate glances, can be excused by the excuse of being family.

While it is convenient, it is also a shackle that prevents them from taking any further steps.

Sigh, I need to think of a solution...

Yuan Qianye came to the kitchen.

It's hot and everyone doesn't have much of an appetite, so breakfast is just simple toast and milk. If that's not enough, there's fruit in the fridge.

Although simple, it provides sufficient nutrition.

As Yuan Qianye was eating at the dining table, a small glass marble rolled to her feet. Then, Rikka's apostle, the Black Wing, flapped its wings and came over, picked it up with its mouth, and ran to the other side.

Rikka has taken good care of it during this time. Its feathers are growing stronger and most of them are jet black, with only a few white spots around its neck forming a circle, like a tie. It really does look quite handsome.

Although it can't fly very well yet, it walks very skillfully and moves quite nimbly around the house. After trying to go up and down the stairs once with Rikka's help, it immediately mastered it and moved freely between the first and second floors.

Since I've already taken it to the pet store to get dewormed, I'll just let it run around the house as it pleases.

It's worth mentioning that this bird is very intelligent, and it is precisely because of this intelligence that the family allowed it to roam freely around the house.

The first issue is excretion.

Logically speaking, birds' physiological structure makes it impossible for them to control defecation through sphincter muscles like humans do.

The same goes for the Black Wings, but it gives the impression of being able to roughly sense when one is about to defecate.

Before it poops, it always runs to the newspapers we've prepared for it on the floor around the house, waits to finish, and then continues its activities.

Only when it first left the nest and started walking did it leave a lot of droppings on the floor of Liuhua's room.

After that, I almost never saw it defecating everywhere again.

Rikka proudly attributed this to her own patient guidance, but Gen Chiyo still felt that the Black Wings possessed a spirit of their own.

Among birds, crows are among the most intelligent.

A few days ago, my dad was looking for his keys everywhere at home, but couldn't find them. In the end, it crawled under the sofa and dragged them out.

Regardless of whether it was the culprit or not, as long as the key was found, that's all that matters.

After this incident, its status in the family rose dramatically.

Even Shihua, after initially trying to contact it and finding no allergic reaction, began to enjoy rubbing its head from time to time and occasionally feeding it bread crumbs or biscuit crumbs.

I've finally established myself in this family.

Gen Chiya withdrew his gaze from the black wings.

After returning from that banquet with Shiyu, he curiously looked into the affairs of that famous, womanizing writer.

It turned out that his deeds were far more explosive than he had imagined.

It's one thing for him to have affairs with multiple people during his marriage, but after it was exposed, his wife even publicly stated that it was her fault, that she couldn't satisfy her husband, which led to this situation.

Now that the famous writer is openly living with multiple women, and his wife is even taking care of his mistress's children, the public and media seem to have become accustomed to it.

Just as Yuan Qianye had seen before, the writer was even able to attend commercial events normally and promote his new work.

Japan, what a magical country...

This gave Yuan Qianye a little inspiration.

During this period, he reduced the frequency of his visits to Dongma's house and spent long periods of time locking himself in his room.

I'm trying to recreate those works in my mind that don't belong to this world in written form.

But when he finished writing it and looked at it with a critical eye, he always felt that something was missing.

As expected, my writing skills are subpar; I merely recount the stories in my mind without any spark of inspiration.

This problem is easy to solve. There's a literary girl right beside him, and it's only a matter of time before his writing skills improve.

In the previous stage, through his own efforts, he enabled his entire family to live in a comfortable big house and have a more comfortable living environment. After completing this goal, he achieved his goal.

A brand new main quest has now surfaced in Yuan Qianye's mind.

I need to rediscover my literary talents, in addition to kendo and piano.

Letting the world know that I am "both scholarly and martial" is not the goal; it is merely a step in the effort to achieve the ultimate ideal.

In conclusion, it's never wrong to do your best to improve yourself at this stage.

"Hum~"

Wearing a bathrobe that revealed her long, white legs and smooth, fragrant shoulders, Rikka hummed an unknown melody as she walked out of the bathroom.

This interrupted Yuan Qianye's thoughts, but upon seeing her, he could only speak helplessly.

"You'd better get your act together and put your clothes on properly before you come out."

Rikka seemed indifferent to this, feeling that as long as she had covered up what needed to be covered, it was fine.

"It's too hot in the bathroom, and besides, it doesn't matter, there are no outsiders at home anyway."

"..."

There were no outsiders, but there were men.

This girl really doesn't stand on ceremony with me.

Not rich, but generous.

Rikka picked up her phone, glanced at it, and then exclaimed in surprise.

"Ah! Yukino and Eriri are all ready at home and we're about to leave. Chiya, hurry up and eat! There will be a long line at the amusement park if we're late!"

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be faster than you."

Rikka ran upstairs with a "da da da" sound.

Yuan Qianye shook his head helplessly.

Judging from her heavy footsteps, you could tell she had gained a lot of weight during her lazy summer vacation.

Ten minutes later, the two of them, having finished getting ready, went out together.

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.

The group met at an amusement park themed around Mr. Pan's series of dolls.

There are many amusement parks to choose from in Tokyo, but Rikka chose this one specifically to take Yukino's feelings into consideration.

After all, she liked Mr. Pan the most.

The driver from the Yukino family drove to the entrance of the amusement park, and Yukino, wearing a sun hat, opened the door and got out of the car.

Then, another person followed her out of the car.

"Ugh! Haha, it's so hot, and the sun is so strong. Luckily, I applied sunscreen and makeup base before going out."

Wearing sunglasses, Yang Nai raised her hands high, appearing very excited.

Standing beside her, Yukino sighed helplessly.

Just before she was about to leave, her sister, for some unknown reason, insisted on coming along with her.

"I already told you, sister, that today it's just me, Eriri, and the others out to play. Toka-nee isn't here, so there might not be anyone to talk to you."

"It's alright, it's alright. I didn't originally intend to become friends with you all. I came here specifically to see Qianye."

What do you want with him?

"Do you care a lot?"

"..."

Seeing her sister's mischievous grin, Yukino decided not to ask any more questions.

She knew her sister's terrible personality, and even if she asked now, she wouldn't get any information. It would be better to ask Qianye directly later.

The two went to a beverage shop in the commercial street in front of the amusement park entrance to wait for the others.

Before long, everyone had arrived.

When Gen Chiya arrived and saw Yono, he was slightly taken aback. But after the older sister smiled and came to his side, stood on tiptoe and hugged his neck to whisper something, he suddenly nodded seriously.

This situation left others completely bewildered.

What could be between the two of them that requires them to talk so secretly?

…………

Volume 1: Chapter 109: The Difficult "Older Sister"

It's not really something that can't be said openly, it's just that Yukino Haruko's mindset is kicking in right now.

This led her to simply want to create situations different from the everyday in order to satisfy her desire to see all sorts of interesting chemical reactions.

For example, right now, my younger sister is watching me from a distance, her gaze filled with unease and scrutiny.

Honestly, if you care so much, why don't you just come over directly?

Being so far away, a mere eye contact won't be effective against your sister at all!
