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

"Now that the decision has been made, the next step is quite simple: we need to come up with a name for the shop."

"Qianye, you can come and get this."

"How can I be the one to take it? I've already said that this store is entirely in your hands. You're the store manager, and me... at most, I'm just a behind-the-scenes investor. If you run out of money, come to me for it. If there's a profit, I'll just take a share. Do you really expect me to help you with opening this store?"

"You want to be a hands-off manager so soon?"

"In other words, this is called giving you ample opportunities to practice."

"A cunning statement, as always."

"Deciding on the store name is only the first step. After that, there are many other things you need to worry about, such as the style of cuisine you plan to serve, the menu, the recruitment of staff, the pricing standards, the store decoration is already completed, and some basic equipment is also ready, but the kitchen utensils and seating need to be considered, and the style needs to be decided... I will help you with these things if you need them, but in the end, the final decision is up to you."

"Hearing you say that suddenly makes me feel a lot of pressure. I didn't realize that opening a store requires considering so many things."

Are you a little scared?

"No, quite the opposite, I'm even more excited now."

A faint smile appeared on Shihua's lips.

His eyes were clear as autumn water, sparkling with light, overflowing with fighting spirit, and other things that he could hardly suppress under the influence of affection.

It wasn't just Gen Chiya who gave the surprise.

Shihua had already decided early on that she would give away some of her most important possessions after he graduated.

Based on the current situation, it is very likely tonight.

At 11:12 p.m., Rikka, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, laughing out loud while watching a late-night comedy show with potato chips and cola, heard the doorbell ring from the entrance of her house.

She immediately clapped her hands, got up, and went to the front door, looking outside through the peephole.

She used to be raised by her mother, Runzi, alone. Sometimes her older sister would go to help out at their mother's shop, leaving her alone at home.

Back then, both her older sister and her mother repeatedly told her to always lock the front door of the house.

This self-protective habit has continued to this day.

Seeing that the person outside the door was someone she knew all too well, she smiled and quickly unlocked the door.

"Sister, Qianye, you're back."

"Mm," Yuan Qianye replied.

"Wait a minute, didn't you guys say you were going to the bookstore to buy study materials today..."

Shihua quickly interrupted her sister's spellcasting: "It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Rikka complained, "Sister, you're always criticizing me. Aren't you the same as Chiya, getting home so late?"

"Have the dishes been washed?"

"I washed it all, and I also washed the rice cooker and the dishcloth while I was at it. You'll see later if you don't believe me."

After Toka's interruption, Rikka quickly forgot what she had just wanted to ask.

After that, everything returned to normal.

Qianye Shihua went to take a bath one after the other.

It was midnight. Since it was still winter break, Rikka, taking advantage of the fact that she didn't have to get up early the next day, wanted to watch TV for a little longer.

Recently, Shihua considered that her younger sister had indeed worked hard during the period before graduating from junior high school, and felt that she had worked very hard, so she didn't pay much attention to her and let her be free.

But today, she acted out of character, urging Rikka to go back to her room to rest with a rather forceful attitude.

"School will start soon, and you need to get your sleep schedule back on track. Staying up late at night and being tired during the day is absolutely not going to work."

"Sister, I understand. I'll go back to my room after watching this part. It'll only be about ten minutes."

Despite Rikka's pitiful pose of clasping her hands together and swaying up and down, Toka remained unmoved and had a cold expression.

She looked around, intending to find something handy to serve as a substitute for the pointer.

"Okay, I understand! I'll go back to my room and sleep!"

Forced by circumstances, despite her reluctance, Rikka had no choice but to turn off the TV and return to her room with a sigh under her older sister's authority.

The black wings flapped their wings and flew from the sofa to the little nest that had been specially prepared for it on the balcony.

Shika turned off the lights in the living room, and Gen Chiya just came out of his room to get some water.

Seeing that her younger sister had already gone back to her room, as their eyes met and they brushed past each other, Toka took the initiative to hook her finger around his.

"I'll come find you tonight..."

She said it in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Yuan Qianye was even bolder than her, and immediately lowered his head to place a gentle kiss on her lips.

Shika stepped back as if startled, her eyes fixed on the door to her sister's room.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual over there, she glared at Qianye with embarrassment and annoyance.

But she didn't show any dissatisfaction. She just turned around and went back to her room. As she was closing the door, she shyly looked up and met his gaze.

The most tender moment was when she lowered her head, like a water lily shyly trembling in the cool breeze.

it is more than words

Yuan Qianye took a deep breath, his excitement was now almost impossible to suppress.

When he arrived in the kitchen, he had only intended to pour himself a glass of water, but instead he opened the refrigerator and gulped down a 600-milliliter bottle of milk.

After that, he observed from God's perspective that Rikka returned to her room for forty minutes, secretly huddled under the covers, watched a variety show on her phone, and finally closed her eyes with satisfaction.

Considering that the relationship between herself and Rikka would need to develop gradually rather than being intense from the very first meeting, she needed enough quiet foreplay time to allow Rikka to fall asleep peacefully.

So he could no longer hold back, and quietly went out to Shika's room, then stepped back, closed the door tightly, and locked it from the inside.

"Why did you come here?"

"Because I can't wait any longer."

As Chiya said this, she hugged Toka tightly as Toka leaned against the headboard.

Through her cool summer nightgown, I could feel the amazing softness of her slender waist.

Shihua has an excellent figure, with a truly slender waist and full figure. Only by touching her can one know how breathtaking her body curves are.

"Wait a minute... wait a minute..."

Shihua, burning with fever, pushed him away.

"Let's go to your room. My room is next to Rikka's, and I'm worried... she might hear something."

"But I just want to be in a room where you smell like Shihua."

Another reason was that she didn't want the maid to find out about it.

"But what if..."

"Good sister..."

The way Gen Chiyo addressed her, a name filled with longing and affection, instantly shattered Toka's last bit of resolve.

Whatever...it doesn't matter...

Toka was being gently kissed on the forehead, ears, eyebrows, and eyes by Chiya.

Reason gradually faded, and she followed only her heart, calling out the name of her beloved again and again.

"Hmm, Chiya..."

"Ah."

"I'm a little... scared."

"Leave it to me, sister. You just need to watch me."

"Ah."

Shihua's expression at this moment was particularly endearing.

Yuan Qianye kissed away the tears welling up in the corners of her eyes from trembling, summoning all his tenderness.

Shihua obeyed his words, her delicate gaze slowly moving downwards with his movements, but in the end she couldn't help but close her eyes.

The temperature in the room gradually rose.

Just as Minamoto Chiya had predicted, Rikka next door drifted off to sleep without noticing anything.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, the maid lay on her bed, staring blankly at her phone, her eyes vacant as she looked at the empty room of Yuan Qianye on the screen.

He's been out of the room for forty minutes and hasn't come back yet.

Are you hungry and have gone to the kitchen to prepare a midnight snack for yourself?

Or is it that guests suddenly arrived at his home, and he needs to leave his room to go to the living room to greet them?

But at this hour, who would be so rude as to come knocking on our door?

The maid had a lot of guesses going on in her mind, but unfortunately, no one could give her a definite answer.

Ugh……

It's natural to feel a little disappointed when the spiritual nourishment you've been looking forward to after a long day doesn't come.

Let's just use the stock we've kept from before.

With that in mind, she opened a video she had recorded before.

Watching him in the video, the feeling that had just been interrupted slowly returned.

In a completely dark room, illuminated only by the light from a mobile phone screen.

She whispered the name of her beloved.

The physical pleasure brought a sense of well-being, but it also made the emptiness in my heart even more pronounced.

The next morning at 8:40, Rikka stretched and got out of bed.

She went to bed relatively early yesterday, so she didn't stay in bed for long today.

She had just stepped out of her room when she ran into Chiya coming out of Toka's room.

Before she could ask, Qianye quietly closed the door and gestured for her to be quiet.
