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

"No! Here, take this." Rikka picked up her black over-the-knee socks and handed them over.

Judging from her actions and somewhat shy expression, Yuan Qianye naturally understood what she meant.

only……

Rikka noticed his hesitant expression, her face turning even redder. She emphasized with dissatisfaction, "I took it out last night along with my school uniform and put it by my bed. It's clean."

"That's not what I meant. It doesn't matter if it's been worn before, because it's Rikka." That's what Minamoto Chiyo said, but Rikka could still see that he was visibly relieved.

She pouted, like a frustrated dolphin. The next moment, to vent her dissatisfaction, after he took her socks, she unceremoniously placed her small feet on his thighs, lifted his shirt with her toes, and then took advantage of the situation to press her other foot against his lower abdomen, gently pinching his flesh with her toes.

But it didn't budge.

Yuan Qianye's abdominal muscles were much stronger than she had imagined.

"How old are you? How childish! And did you wash your feet last night?"

"So what? I went to bed right after my shower last night and didn't move much. I'm sure I still smell nice. You can smell it if you don't believe me."

"No way, I'll smell it myself."

"Stop messing around... If you keep messing around, I won't be polite."

"If you dare to be so impolite, I'll go to school today and tell Saeko-nee and Shiho what really happened to you last night."

"You've grown so powerful, you even dare to threaten me now."

"What? I'm not afraid... Hahaha... I'm sorry, brother, Onii-chan, elder brother, I was wrong haha... I was wrong..."

Rikka, whose ankles were pinched and whose soles were tickled, immediately begged for mercy. Then, after Minamoto Chiya chose to let her go, she pounced on him and pinned him down on the bed, trying to retaliate by attacking his armpits. The two of them laughed and joked around.

"..."

The two of them only stopped their playful fight when the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open and Shihua, holding a spatula, stood there with her hands on her hips, quietly watching them.

When Chiya came to the kitchen to help serve breakfast, Toka reminded him, "Rikka is still a girl, no matter what."

Yuan Qianye coughed lightly: "I'll be more careful from now on."

Shihua shook her head, knowing he had misunderstood: "You're fine, but I'm a little worried that this silly girl is so carefree. If she gets used to being like this at home with you, when she has other close male friends, she might unconsciously act like that again when she's having fun. It's one thing if others think she's frivolous, but if some people with ulterior motives think she's a very promiscuous girl and keeps attracting people of questionable character, then that would be a very serious problem."

Although Rikka is not easy for Touka to handle, her good looks cannot be denied.

After thinking about it, Yuan Qianye felt that Toka's concerns were not unreasonable: "When I have the opportunity as her older brother, I will mention this to her and ask her to pay attention to this matter."

Shihua nodded: "It's up to you."

Breakfast was served, and while waiting for Rikka to finish washing up and come over to eat, Toka made Chiya stand on the electronic scale at home to measure her height.

The results showed that his height without shoes was 178 centimeters, and he could easily surpass 180 centimeters with shoes on.

As for his weight, he reached a surprising 77 kilograms.

Shihua looked at the latest data on her sworn brother's health and couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

It hadn't been long since she last weighed Qianye, and he had already gained two kilograms. The speed at which he was growing was making her a little worried.

According to the healthy BMI calculation process, his height is 178 cm and his weight is 77 kg, so his BMI value is approximately 24.30.

The standard BMI ranges from 18.5 to 24.0, and Qianye's BMI is 0.3 points above the threshold. Therefore, on paper, Qianye's BMI is slightly above the standard.

However, perhaps because his body fat and muscle are evenly distributed, his physique is just right. Wearing loose clothes, he has a straight back and looks quite slender, not as imposing as when he takes off his clothes.

Using her professional nutritional knowledge, Shihua planned out the family's meal plans for the next period of time, but after thinking about it, she decided not to make any major changes.

Qianye looks so healthy and energetic now, and his physical examination report at the beginning of the school year was also very normal. We can't just rashly ask him to lose weight based on his height and weight data on paper.

Many athletes, such as boxers and swimmers, have extremely high muscle mass and low body fat percentage. Since muscle density is greater than fat, it is normal for them to be overweight.

So let's not rush things and just let things take their course until the next formal physical exam to see how things go.

During breakfast, Yuan Qianye used her phone to reply to the messages from the previous night one by one.

After that, the three of them went to school together.

During lunch break, Chiya went to the Kendo Club and practiced intensely with Saeko and the others for more than half an hour. As usual, she went to the Service Club to kill the rest of her rest time.

A second-year student was recommended by Hiratsuka-sensei to seek help. She was struggling to balance her boyfriend, whom she had been dating since junior high school, and her academic performance. She was very distressed because she could not manage both.

When Chiya arrived, Eriri Yukino and Rikka were both comforting her.

Gen Chiya joined in, offering suggestions and potentially effective solutions.

But two minutes later, after being looked at several times by his two childhood friends and his adopted sister, especially by Yukino's rather dangerous gaze, he quietly withdrew from the discussion.

A few minutes later, after sitting down to read by the window a little further away, he silently got up and left the Department of Service.

The reason is that the senior student with wavy hair, who is considered average-looking, had previously explained how deep her relationship with her boyfriend had been since junior high school, and how difficult it was to persuade her parents to support her despite their repeated opposition.

But ever since Yuan Qianye joined, her gaze has never left him, and her face has become increasingly flushed, her eyes have become noticeably moist and glistening, and her thighs under the table have begun to rub together unnaturally.

Boys should still be careful to protect themselves when they go out.

Yuan Qianye arrived at the second music classroom upstairs.

When Kazusa heard his footsteps, the piano piece she was playing paused for a moment, then quickly resumed.

Gen Chiya, holding the book "Sin and Punishment" that he had brought from the Service Department, took a stool and sat down not far from her, leisurely crossing his legs to begin reading.

After Kazusa finished singing, she came to him and said, "Thank you for last night."

"What is it?" Yuan Qianye smiled and closed the book.

He knew the answer, but he just wanted to hear her tell him the specifics.

“You know…” Kazusa flicked her hair, a gesture she always used to hide her unease or nervousness: “…You can come to the venue to see me and cheer me on.”

"That's not something I promised you in the first place."

"It wasn't just that. The encouragement I received before going on stage, the delicious shaved ice, and the beautiful fireworks... Thank you so much, I'm so happy."

…………

Chapter 088: Two sisters will serve you alone~

Actually, Kazusa wanted to say this to Chiya in person at the Tanabata Festival last night, but there were other people there, one of whom was his girlfriend whom he hadn't officially announced to the public, so it wasn't very convenient.

After returning home, she hesitated for a long time but couldn't resist sending a message, though she never received a reply. Later, she asked Rikka and learned that he had gone out again for work after returning home.

Her mother noticed that she was sitting in the living room, staring blankly at her phone, and came over to ask her questions.

Kazusa didn't want to tell her this, but from her perspective, she felt that the fireworks show at the Tanabata Festival was prepared by Chiya for her. Therefore, her curiosity prompted her to subtly ask her mother how much it would cost to sponsor a fireworks show.

Touma Yoko has achieved her current success almost entirely through her own hard work. She is incredibly shrewd, and her daughter's evasive questions about this matter immediately made her realize that something was wrong.

Seeing her daughter's hesitant, blushing face and unsure of what to say, she immediately concluded that her darling had undoubtedly been flirted with by that kid Qianye again today.

She then swiftly dialed the numbers of Miyoko and the person who had invited her to the Tanabata Festival.

With a series of meticulously crafted words, she easily and quickly learned the details of the private sponsorship of the grand fireworks show at the Qixi Festival.

"Qianye sponsored a total of 27.8 million for last night's fireworks show. Of that, 20 million was mainly for the fireworks, while the rest was used for on-site preparations, fire-fighting facilities, community staff salaries, and environmental restoration funds, among other miscellaneous expenses."

When Yoko, having figured out the situation, said those words to Kazusa, Kazusa was completely stunned.

She knew that a fireworks show lasting that long would cost a lot, but she never expected it to be this expensive.

"Maybe something good will actually happen."

Then she recalled the seemingly casual remark he made back then, and imagined how Qianye had been working hard and running around for this matter in the days leading up to the Tanabata Festival.

Such attention and such a large sum of money, coupled with her mother's smiling sigh: "If a boy my age did this for me, I probably wouldn't have gone home that night. In this respect, Kazusa, you really are very composed and have great self-control."

Do I consider myself to have self-control?

I tossed and turned in bed all night, my mind racing with thoughts of everything that had happened since we met, and I didn't get a good night's sleep.

A mix of complex emotions welled up inside her, almost overflowing. As soon as she arrived at school in the morning, she pressed her face against the window, hoping to catch a glimpse of him as he walked from the school gate to the teaching building. During lunch break, she desperately wanted to see him, but various concerns prevented her from approaching him or inviting him out. Instead, she could only sit in the second music classroom, feeling depressed, playing the piano and waiting for him to come to her.

And only under such circumstances could she utter that insignificant word of thanks to him, and that dry verbal thanks was not even one percent of the complex emotions in her heart.

Rather than being determined, I'd say I'm a coward who lacks the courage to take action and is too clumsy to express my true feelings.

"You don't really need to worry about it too much; it wasn't a big deal to begin with."

Minamoto Chiya was unaware that Kazusa had already begun the touching process of conquering herself, so she didn't think much of it and spoke in her usual relaxed and casual tone.

But it was precisely because of this performance that the emotions surging in Kazusa's chest had nowhere to be released, and swelled up even more intensely.

"Ah."

Kazusa didn't know how to continue the conversation. Unlike Rikka or Haruno, she didn't have the personality to actively liven up the atmosphere.

There are less than ten minutes left before afternoon classes begin.

Gen Chiya stood up, placed the book on the chair, and said, "It's been a while since we played the piano together. Kazusa-sensei, would you like to check if my playing skills have deteriorated?"

Kazusa smiled but didn't say anything. She took the lead, went to the piano, sat down, hugged her skirt, and patted the spot next to her.

Yuan Qianye sat down next to her: "Which piece should I play?"

Kazusa: "You decide."

Yuan Qianye nodded and pressed the piano keys without much hesitation. The music flowed out, the notes as clear as dewdrops, with a unique sense of tranquility in Eastern music, as if petals were slowly unfolding.

Just by hearing a few notes, Kazusa recognized the piece he was playing as Flower Dance. This piece has an ethereal and beautiful melody and rich emotional layers, but it is not particularly difficult.

Kazusa smoothly followed suit, and the two coordinated well. Despite not having practiced together for a while, they showed no signs of rustiness and made no mistakes. Their teamwork was perfect.

The harmonious atmosphere was interrupted when Kazusa's phone vibrated before the ensemble was even halfway through.

Kazusa didn't want to pay attention, but her phone kept vibrating, and since Chiya had stopped what she was doing and looked over to signal her to answer the call, she couldn't stay indifferent any longer.

I took out my phone and, sure enough, it was my mom calling, and it was a video call.

"Kazusa, Mom has some good news for you!" As soon as the call connected, Yoko's smiling face appeared on the phone screen: "What's wrong? You look so scary with that long face. Did someone make you angry?"

What do you say?

Kazusa inwardly grumbled and sighed silently, "What is it?"

"A nightclub that Mom invested in is opening soon. You'll come with Mom to attend, and you can also..."

At that moment, Kazusa's phone camera shifted and focused on Chiyo's face. Yoko paused for a moment, then quickly resumed her normal speech.

"Chiya, you're right next to Kazusa. That's perfect. If you have time this weekend, would you like to come with us?"

Yuan Qianye leaned closer: "About the nightclub?"
