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

"Speaking of which, I've done you such a big favor by figuring out Shihua's problem. Isn't just a verbal thank you a bit too perfunctory? Shouldn't you take some concrete actions to show your sincerity?"

That's absolutely right.

Debt... no, that's not right.

Reciprocity is a matter of course.

Yuan Qianye replied directly, "I'll treat you to a meal next time I have time."

Eating again...

Yang Nai snorted unhappily: "You said the same thing when I took you to see the house before you moved to your new place, but now that you've moved in, I still haven't had a meal."

Yuan Qianye was a little embarrassed; it seemed that this was indeed the case.

"Forget about treating me to a meal or anything like that; I'm not really interested in that kind of way of expressing gratitude. How about this: you answer a few questions for me, which will satisfy my curiosity, and then we'll be even. How about that?"

Yuan Qianye wanted to refuse, but considering that Yang Nai had indeed helped her several times without a single complaint or excuse, she couldn't very well turn her back outright.

Let's see what she says first. If it's really hard to answer, we don't necessarily have to answer honestly.

He knew Yukino's upright and righteous character, and understood that if he didn't want her to dislike him, he couldn't lie to her.

But when facing Yang Nai, he had no such psychological burden at all.

With that in mind, he nodded: "As long as it's not too private."

That's exactly what they're asking about – privacy. Otherwise, why would I go to all this trouble to bring up this topic?

Yang ignored that question and asked, "Chiyo, you must have had many girls confess their feelings to you by now, right?"

Gen Chiyo glanced at her. There was no point in hiding this; Eriri and Yukino both knew. She nodded.

Thanks to the widespread use of internet and electronic products, children today are generally much more precocious.

But he happens to be a walking succubus, and even someone as calm as Yukino can't stand staring at him for ten seconds without her heart racing and her mind racing, so it's even more true for other girls.

Love letters were stuffed into his shoe cabinet, he was told to meet him on the rooftop or behind the school, and friend notifications popped up on his phone account for no reason... He's become somewhat numb to these kinds of things since he was a child.

"Then I see you haven't actively interacted with anyone, why is that?"

"Hmm...it's probably for the same reason that Yang Nai rejected your suitors."

"What kind of answer is this? It's not what we agreed on before. It's too cunning," Yang Nai protested.

The fist landed lightly on Yuan Qianye's arm, which to outsiders looked like a playful argument between young lovers.

Even acquaintances have that feeling.

He saw Yukino and the other two, who were at the head of the group, turn around and look at him with strange eyes.

Gen Chiya coughed lightly, subtly increasing the distance between himself and Yōno.

"Well, I think so too. Everyone has a basic way of judging their own network of relationships. Whether or not to accept a stranger into their circle is definitely a matter of many considerations. But one thing is certain: the one who is rejected is undoubtedly of no value to themselves."

Chiya didn't want to agree with Yono's overly rational statement, as it was very unreasonable.

However, it cannot be denied that the mentality she described is the social norm followed by most people in society.

"Next question, Qianye, what kind of girl do you like?"

"Beautiful."

I answered immediately, following my heart, as if it were an instinct, without the slightest hesitation.

By the way, this is under the standard of beauty.

He doesn't have any particular requirements regarding bust size; whether someone is full-figured or flat-chested is fine, they each have their own advantages and disadvantages!

There are no strict height restrictions. Taller ones will make their legs look longer, which is great. Shorter ones can be held more easily and comfortably in your arms, which always feels very cute.

As for personality, as long as one is kind-hearted, the requirements in this regard are quite lenient, and even some extreme traits are completely acceptable.

The above are Gen Chiyo's true thoughts from the depths of his heart, without any embellishment, and are absolutely not lies.

"Waaah—"

Even though Yang was deliberately testing him at this moment, he believed that he wouldn't be surprised no matter what kind of response he gave.

But at this moment, he still couldn't control his reaction and showed a rather surprised expression.

"Qianye, you're actually a sucker for good looks?"

Is there a problem?

You ask that question with such confidence...

But it seems there really isn't a problem.

After all, this kid is quite handsome, so it's not unreasonable for him to make such a request.

Because of his own excellence, the only requirement given was "beautiful," without any additional conditions, which makes it seem as if he was at a disadvantage.

"Aside from appearance, are there no other requirements?"

Yuan Qianye smiled and asked, "Yinai-nee, are you going to introduce me to a girlfriend?"

"I was just curious. Don't forget you still owe me a favor. Answer me obediently."

"Hmm...being more sensible, not unreasonable, gentle, and able to understand me...that's about right."

"Isn't this exactly the image of a Yamato Nadeshiko in the eyes of Japanese men? Answering it is like not answering it at all."

Yuan Qianye spread his hands, looking quite innocent: "But this is indeed my true thought."

The reason why the image of Yamato Nadeshiko is so deeply rooted in people's hearts and is the dream lover of so many men is naturally because it has an irreplaceable value.

"I see, I think I understand now."

"What do you know?"

"Regarding your views on choosing a partner, it seems I can vaguely imagine what your future girlfriend will look like."

Just based on those few questions?

You're really amazing.

"Speaking of which, time really flies. When I first met you, you were just a tiny little bean, not even as strong as me, but now you're taller than me." Yang Nai gestured with her hands.

"Yes, it was indeed very fast, like it happened in the blink of an eye," Yuan Qianye exclaimed in agreement.

"You're about to enter your final year of junior high, and Shihua and I are about to enter our final year of senior high. We're both about to step into a very important moment in our lives."

Yang Nai seemed ordinary, but in fact she was carefully developing the topic.

Yuan Qianye gave a soft "hmm".

His gaze fell on the three people huddled together in front of him. They seemed to have already decided on the next ride they wanted to try, and Yukino had already put away the preview image in her hand.

"You're alright, but Toka and I are about to enter a new phase of our lives. I wonder which university she will choose. If her dream university is in Tokyo, that's fine, but if it's in another city, she'll probably have to move into a dormitory, or like me now, she'll have to find a place to live on her own."

"We'll see what she decides then. Whatever her plans are, I... and the family will fully support her, okay?"

Gen Chiya handed over a citrus mint-flavored candy with a calm expression.

People have developed the habit of carrying a few candies or chewing gum in their pockets to freshen their breath, just like they do now.

It started on an ordinary day when the person he cared about asked him suspiciously if he had just eaten garlic.

Although she asked the question casually at the time, she did not show any disgust or dislike.

But after that, he paid extra attention to this point.

He doesn't care about unimportant people, but when it comes to people he cares about, he still wants to maintain his perfect image.

Yang Nai looked at the candy that Yuan Qianye handed over and accepted it without thinking much about it.

She looked at his expression, and there was no flaw in it.

I guess I need to put in a little more pressure...

Did you know that Toka is actually quite popular at her school?

"I know, after all, she has a good personal image, is an excellent student, not to mention she is a star member of the gymnastics club and has won honors in national competitions."

In addition, she has a beautiful smile, a perfect figure, and is always able to accurately sense other people's emotions and offer comfort. She cooks very well, has a very flexible body, and always has a very delicate fragrance when you get close to her, even when she's sweating...

No, rather, the fragrance actually became even stronger after sweating... (no blood relation)

"So you know that she is actually the most unattainable beauty in the eyes of many boys at school, and there are even brave men who try to climb to the top of the mountain just to get her attention and hope to have a closer relationship with her in the future?"

"...Isn't that obvious?"

Yuan Qianye replied.

But Yang clearly heard the sound of him biting the candy with his teeth.

creak creak...

Still chewing.

Yang Nai sighed softly, as if she hadn't noticed anything: "Excellent girls will encounter such troubles no matter when. Even though they don't want it to be like this, unexpected troubles will still come knocking on their door."

"Um……"

"Yukino too. It was really an unexpected disaster when a friend from my grandfather's generation suddenly came to our house and said he wanted his grandson to get engaged to Yukino."

"!"

Yuan Qianye suddenly stopped and stared straight at Yang Nai.

"Ok?"

Yang smiled and looked back, puzzled.

Looking at her smile, Yuan Qianye suddenly understood something.

"That's really awful."

"what?"

Ignoring her feigned ignorance, he continued walking forward: "We agreed before, so we're even now."

Yang quickly followed.

Let's settle this once and for all.

She did indeed find out the result she wanted.
