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

She glanced curiously toward the kitchen, but still found nothing.

She placed the dessert on the coffee table, her eyes narrowed, and a certain possibility came to mind.

But at that moment, my gaze was drawn to the sofa.

Shi Yu approached and observed intently.

On the plain-colored sofa cover, there was a rather noticeable dark stain... no, it seemed to be a wet stain, which was now on the verge of drying.

If she had arrived any later, the mark would likely have vanished without a trace.

Just then, she suddenly heard Saeko's voice coming from somewhere inside the house, rising and falling, like a song and a lament.

Shiyu followed the sound toward the bathroom, her expression growing increasingly grim from the middle of the journey.

When she arrived at the bathroom door, her expression turned completely gloomy.

Forget about Chiya, that womanizer... how could Saeko possibly...?

In broad daylight, knowing that someone could come at any moment, do they really have no sense of shame?

"Cough cough!"

She clenched her right fist, held it to her mouth, and coughed forcefully twice.

After a few seconds of silence, the sound of waves crashing against the shore subsided, then resumed with even greater frequency and intensity.

These two are beyond saving!

Unable to bear the humiliation, Shi Yu angrily turned around and went back to the living room.

I turned on the TV, randomly selected a channel, and turned the volume up to the maximum!

As the sun gradually sank in the west, the sky changed from pale gold to orange-red.

Shi Yu stood on tiptoe, her patience dwindling with each passing moment.

After waiting for more than forty minutes, Yuan Qianye finally came out of the bathroom and into the living room.

The original school uniform was replaced with loose pajamas that Saeko had kept.

His hair was still wet and he smelled strongly of shower gel.

Having released his desires and some of his frustrations with Saeko, he walked towards Utaha with a bright smile on his face.

As soon as he sat down, he moved closer to Shiyu's face, eager to touch her cheek.

Shi Yu reached out and covered his mouth, her expression as cold as ice.

"Where's Saeko?"

"She was too tired from training today, so I let her go back to her room to rest. I'll cook dinner tonight."

"Heh, training, so it's a one-on-one training session with you, right? You called me over specifically so I could become part of your lovey-dovey play?"

"Look at what you're saying. We're all family, aren't we? It was just a little accident. I was the one who insisted on doing it that way. Saeko couldn't resist even if she wanted to. If you want to blame someone, blame me."

"Don't give me that... Ugh!"

They were talking peacefully when Shi Yu suddenly looked distressed, bent over, and clutched her stomach.

Yuan Qianye immediately understood what was wrong with her, and thought to himself that it was no wonder she was so angry when they met today. So he quickly and nimbly pulled her into his arms, wrapped one arm around her, and gently rubbed her lower abdomen with the other.

Shi Yu kept her eyes closed, and the cold expression on her face didn't soften much, but this time she at least didn't resist his attempts to be friendly.

"Did it hurt badly this time too?" Yuan Qianye's concern was genuine.

"It doesn't hurt, I'm just faking it." Kasumigaoka has now transformed into Kasumigaoka the Debater. In short, after what just happened, she is dissatisfied with this bad guy in every way.

Yuan Qianye smiled, not angry at all. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Shiyu's current reaction, but rather regarded it as a fun interaction between them.

Of course, it would be even better if she didn't have this kind of menstrual pain.

She was upset, and he was worried about her too.

However, there's nothing that can be done about it; Shiyu's daily routine has become quite irregular ever since she started writing.

Her explanation for this is that her mind is more active when it's late at night and quiet, and she's more likely to be favored by the muse of inspiration.

This made writing smoother, but it did have a negative impact on my health, causing my monthly periods to become somewhat irregular.

Without knowing the exact time, Gen Chiya was unable to use the same method he used on Touka to "target" Utaha.

His large, warm hands, still warm from his shower, slipped under the hem of Shi Yu's shirt and touched her lower abdomen.

The palm of my hand felt not only soft, but also surprisingly cool in this not-so-cold weather.

"Let me go." Shi Yu squirmed and resisted in his arms.

"Don't move." Yuan Qianye bit her ear.

But although it's called biting, it's not quite accurate; it was just that the teeth touched and then the lips pursed together.

Shiyu became docile in an instant.

Her ears were her weakness, and one of her most sensitive areas.

At this moment, when he uses this tactic, coupled with his caring expression and considerate actions, she simply cannot resist.

That's too cunning!

After silently massaging her for a while, the pain on Shiyu's face visibly subsided.

"Are you feeling better now?"

No, keep touching.

Shi Yu reached out and hugged his neck, closed her eyes and leaned against him, like a cat that was taking advantage of her master's affection.

Now, she no longer shows even the slightest trace of her previous dissatisfaction.

"It's getting late, we need to cook." Yuan Qianye lowered his head and nuzzled her nose.

"Mmm." Shi Yu kept her eyes closed, and although she responded softly, she did not make any further movements.

"After dinner, I'll have to run you a foot bath." Yuan Qianye's hand touched her smooth, soft thighs covered in black stockings.

"Hmm." Shiyu felt a little itchy, but didn't react much.

"I'll hold you while you sleep tonight and massage you until you fall asleep," Yuan Qianye whispered in her ear, delivering his ultimate move.

Shi Yu finally opened her eyes: "You had to hold me all night."

“Okay.” Yuan Qianye nodded without any hesitation.

She emphasized, "You must not let go."

"I will never let go, I'll even hold you while I go to the toilet." Yuan Qianye's expression was as solemn as a knight swearing allegiance.

That would constitute an agreement.

Shiyu released her grip and nimbly jumped off Gen Chiya's lap.

Actually, the pain only lasted for a short while and disappeared quickly. The reason she pretended to be so affectionate until now was because she was jealous and wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to him.

Yuan Qianye told her to rest in the living room while he rolled up his sleeves and headed to the kitchen.

Seafood hot pot is very simple; just wash the ingredients, put them in the pot one by one, and season them.

However, considering that Shiyu was not feeling well, Yuan Qianye specially cut some beef and set aside some vegetables to cook two side dishes for her.

In addition, I took out red dates from Saeko's refrigerator and cooked her a bowl of hot soup with a little ginger.

With everything prepared, night had fallen.

Gen Chiya first told Shiyu to wash her hands, then went back to her room and woke up Saeko, who had taken a short nap. The three of them sat down together for a meal after a long time.

The individual stir-fry and hot soup in front of her warmed Shi Yu's heart and lifted her spirits.

They also gave up their original idea of ​​saying a few sarcastic remarks, and the dinner was harmonious.

After the meal, Saeko took the initiative to clear the table and wash the dishes.

Although she made it clear that she could manage on her own, Shiyu still went along to help.

Yuan Qianye filled a container with hot water and brought it to the sofa in the living room.

After that, the two who had finished in the kitchen came over here. Shiyu took off her pantyhose, put her feet into the hot water, snuggled into Yuan Qianye's arms, and then lifted his hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, asking him to continue massaging her tummy.

"Shiyu, did you eat too much tonight?" Yuan Qianye frowned slightly.

Kasumigaoka sneered as he moved his fingertips down, pressing them against something that couldn't be described.

Yuan Qianye quickly raised his hands to indicate that he would stop being cheeky.

Saeko watched this scene with a smile, showing no displeasure whatsoever.

She peeled an apple and fed one piece to Shiyu and one to Qianye before eating it herself.

After sending messages to both Rikka and Touka that she wouldn't be going home that night, Gen Chiya put down her phone.

He coughed lightly, drawing the attention back to the two people who were watching TV and chatting about their summer vacation plans.

"Question: Utaha or Saeko, have you ever encountered that awkward situation where you have many people's expectations of you, but you are powerless to meet those expectations?"

Saeko stuffed another small piece of apple into her lover's mouth and realized that this might be the main reason why Chiya had been so listless before.

Chapter 075: I Plan to Make the Festival Lively

Shiyu, who was leaning against his arm, looked up and glanced at him in surprise.

Why are you asking such a question? What happened to you?

Yuan Qianye's chin rested on her forehead, and at such close range, he could catch a faint, alluring fragrance that was subtle yet captivating.

"It was just a sudden whim, don't worry about it too much."

"Is that so?"

Having already crossed that line and become his bedmate, Shi Yu knew her lover all too well from their past interactions, and she could tell at a glance that this was just him being perfunctory.

Since I met him, I've never seen him worry about anything. His life has been so smooth, as if he's on easy mode, and it's even exaggerated to the point that he seems to have a cheat code attached.

Anyway, it must be for some girl again. It's only when he's facing a girl he likes that he rarely shows any distress or wavering.

However, despite having some vague suspicions, Shiyu outwardly accepted his statement and gave her own answer.
