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

"Giving a news interview is quite different from acting in a TV series."

Eriri chimed in, "Chiya's already very busy. If you want him to keep acting in dramas, it'll really exhaust him. Instead, why don't you think about where we'll all have dinner tonight? There are quite a few people helping with the filming, so the restaurant we choose can't be too small, and of course, it can't be too expensive either. It's best to choose an economical one."

“That makes sense, let me take a look.” Rikka was quickly led away from her focus by Eriri.

At that moment, Chiya noticed Yukino's concerned gaze as she looked at him.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"It's nothing, just a bit of a surprise. You seem to know far too much about the job structure within the TV station."

“I was invited to participate in an interview on TV Tokyo’s ‘Face to Face with Celebrities’ program. After the rehearsal in the rehearsal room, I chatted with the host for a while, and she told me about these things.”

"You really are very popular with women in all kinds of situations."

“I’m naturally kind and friendly, how come you make me sound like a womanizer?”

"Aren't you one?" Kazusa suddenly chimed in with a sarcastic remark.

"That hits the nail on the head..." Yukino couldn't help but turn her head away and cover her mouth to laugh.

Gen Chiya looked at Kazusa seriously: "Don't expect my candy next time."

Yukino took a slow breath and regained her composure: "It's just a matter of mentioning it to the waiter, it's not much trouble."

“That’s right.” Kazusa nodded in agreement.

No? When did you two become so close, singing in unison like this?

The school festival on the first day lasted until after 6 p.m. before the excitement gradually subsided.

Chiyo Minamoto booked a family restaurant and, as previously agreed, invited all the classmates who had helped with the filming of the movie. The large group consisted of more than 20 people, including Shizuka Hiratsuka. They had a lively celebration party.

Around 9 o'clock, after dropping Rikka off at home, Gen Chiya packed a few clothes and went out again.

That's the advantage of him making his relationship with Saeko and Utaha public in his own little circle; he no longer needs to come up with excuses to go out with Rikka at night.

I arrived at Saeko's house around 10 o'clock.

When Chiya arrived, Utaha and Saeko were sitting on the sofa watching a variety show on TV, chatting and laughing.

As he approached, Saeko noticed him first and turned around, smiling gently. She then got up and threw herself into his arms.

As for Shi Yu, she was a beat slower. When she looked over, her bright smile instantly turned sour, and she chuckled coldly.

"You still know how to come back?"

Based on her expression and tone of voice, she perfectly embodied the image of a resentful woman confined to her boudoir.

Chapter 49: School Festival Part 5

Upon entering the house, Yuan Qianye immediately sensed that someone was harboring a lot of resentment.

He was also aware of this. Compared to the gentle and dignified Saeko Busujima, Utaha's possessiveness was much more obvious. It took a lot of effort to get her to accept the complicated relationships around her.

To be honest, he does feel indebted.

Therefore, compensation must be made both morally and logically.

Yes, for the rest of my life.

"Of course I have to come back, since you're here."

"Stop with the nice talk. You were out partying with other girls until just now, weren't you?" Shi Yu turned her head away from him, her expression still displeased. "You were having a lot of fun, weren't you?"

Saeko smiled calmly.

Yuan Qianye gently patted her back, and she understood and turned to go to the bathroom to run a bath for him, leaving the living room to the two of them alone.

He went to the sofa and sat down next to Shiyu, explaining, "It's not like that. The dinner tonight was simply to thank everyone who helped with the filming of the movie. Hiratsuka-sensei was there too. It ended around 8 p.m. After that, I took Rikka home and came straight here without even having time to take a shower."

As he spoke, he reached out with his left hand to hold her small hand, while with his other hand he casually waved the change of clothes he was carrying, to show his eagerness to see her as soon as possible.

Girls immersed in love always enjoy sweet words, and Kasumigaoka Utaha is no exception.

Not to mention, the person who said these things has such an outstanding experience and temperament, coupled with top-notch physical appearance, that it's enough to make her values ​​follow her facial features.

Having said that, Shiyu wasn't really angry anymore.

Ultimately, the reason she acted this way was because she lacked a sense of security in this complicated relationship. By throwing a little tantrum, she wanted to see how he would react.

Yuan Qianye's performance, on the other hand, was a perfect pass.

Once you understand Shiyu's personality, you'll find that her little temper tantrums are actually quite cute and can be seen as a kind of daily fun.

At that moment, Saeko walked over from the bathroom: "Chiya, the bathtub is already filled with water. If you go now, it should be just the right time."

Yuan Qianye smiled and replied, "Okay."

Shiyu stood with her arms crossed, staring blankly at the TV. Although she was quite satisfied with her lover's performance, he had just shown his emotions, and her nerves were on edge, so she wasn't able to relax for a while.

However, Yuan Qianye, who knows her very well, has a very effective solution to this problem.

"Then I'll go take a shower first."

"Oh."

"I want Shiyu to come with me."

"Stop saying such stupid things, and I've already washed it."

"Then please help me scrub my back."

"Who wants to scrub your back... Let go... Let go of me!"

With ease, Yuan Qianye picked up Princess Shiyu and carried her straight to the bathroom, ignoring her little feet kicking wildly in mid-air.

"Wait... Saeko! Tell her what to do!" Utaha turned her head and pleaded for help from the other person present.

But for Saeko, who had already given her body and soul to the man in front of her, this was clearly a futile effort.

She waved her hand: "You two, don't fool around for too long, or you'll get dizzy from the water."

"it is good."

"Who wants to work with this guy..."

With the bathroom door closed, Shiyu's voice was completely cut off.

We went a little too far tonight...

The next morning, when Yuan Qianye got up and changed her clothes, she saw that her clothes were scattered everywhere and the room was in a mess.

And as he called out softly several times, the two girls on the bed still sleeping soundly, he silently regretted it.

Actually, you can't really blame him. For the past two weeks, he's been busy with various aspects of filming the movie, and he's been in a state of being unable to release his pent-up anger.

During this period, I did sneak into Toka's room late at night when I went home, but I was worried about Rikka, who lived under the same roof, and I didn't want her to find out about our relationship.

Throughout the entire process, Shika kept her lips tightly pursed and displayed extreme restraint, preventing him from unleashing his full power.

This resulted in a situation where, although the outcome did occur, it was only slightly better than scratching an itch without actually getting to the point.

Being stuck in this limbo only made Yuan Qianye feel even more uncomfortable.

Therefore, in this state of unfulfilled desire, after several days apart, when he spent the night with Saeko Utaha again, his emotions ran high and he couldn't quite control himself.

As a result, the disturbance went on and on without restraint until after 3 a.m.

Saeko was fine, just like the swordplay she usually practiced with Chiya.

In the first half of the game, I was able to go toe-to-toe with him, and the battles were back and forth.

However, in the latter half of the race, the gap in physical strength between the two became increasingly apparent. The nickname "Tiger of the Empire" was not a joke, but a title he truly earned by overcoming numerous strong opponents through his own strength and defeating them in actual combat.

As expected, Saeko was quickly defeated on her own.

As for Shiyu, she was even less worth mentioning. She was carried out of the bathroom by Yuan Qianye in a daze, and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. She was extremely embarrassing from the very beginning.

She woke up intermittently a few times afterward, and after a short nap, her strength was restored. Feeling that she could do it again, she was full of energy, saying witty things and being unusually lively.

However, her actual performance was like that of Ultraman on Earth. When they actually got into a battle, and there were only a few minutes left, she embarrassingly collapsed and was eliminated.

This cycle continued, and now, even though she wakes up at six in the morning, Yuan Qianye has only slept for a little over three hours.

However, given his superhuman physique, a night of sleep deprivation had almost no effect on him.

On the contrary, because the pressure was released along with that, I felt refreshed. My steps were particularly light as I changed my clothes and walked to the bathroom. While preparing breakfast, I even hummed a song in an unusually bright mood.

Around 7 a.m., he placed the prepared breakfast on a tray and brought it into the room.

He hadn't noticed anything when he left the room, but now that he was coming back in from outside the well-ventilated room, he could feel it very clearly.

There was a... indescribable, inexplicable flavor.

The taste inexplicably excited him again.

Especially seeing Saeko and Shiwa's carefree, unguarded sleeping faces, and their fair, exposed shoulders, made him feel restless early in the morning.

Gen Chiya gently placed breakfast on the bedside table, then couldn't resist leaning down and placing a light kiss on Shiyu's forehead as she slept on the outside of the bed.

This movement alerted Shi Yu. She murmured softly, changed her sleeping position from lying flat to lying on her side, and then, as if sensing something, slowly opened her eyes and saw her lover in front of her.

Her slightly drowsy and languid eyes instantly cleared, and she quickly grabbed the blanket and covered her chest while leaning back, warning warily, "Please act like a human being, Yuan Qianye!"

She recalled the treatment she received in the latter half of the previous night! It was simply outrageous!

He really wished... he could take everything else with him and do the same thing to that person!

At first, she felt smug about his affection and lust for her, but later she became fearful, desperately pleading with Saeko for help, driven only by the will to survive.

But Saeko was already preoccupied with her own problems, so she had no time to care about Saeko.

In Shi Yu's novel, the male protagonist has a best friend whose hobby, according to the character design, is playing online games.

She did some research and learned about some gaming memes, such as "dragon rushing in," "where's my Black Cleaver?" and "reverse smoking."

There's a technical term she felt perfectly applicable to her and Saeko's situation last night: "whipping the corpse."

This term refers to the act of attacking a defunct unit in a game.

Yesterday, the three main characters in the room were: Chiyo Minamoto, who was the one who initiated the action, and Utaha, who believed that she and Saeko were the ones who were powerless to resist and could only let him do as he pleased.

She has no way of knowing or confirming the exact time.

But she remembered very clearly that when she woke up late last night, the moonlight shining through the window revealed Saeko's almost broken expression. Her usually peaceful and gentle eyes were now dilated and lifeless, as if she had completely lost her rational will and was about to collapse at any moment!
