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

"Indicate? What exactly do you mean?"

"Make her happy, give her a little surprise, go on a trip with her alone, have a cozy moment just for the two of you... In short, do anything you can think of that will make her happy."

Hearing her say that, Chiyo seemed to understand a little: "So, based on the things I did that made Yukino happy, that's why I came to my sister's side later..."

Yang Nai chuckled and snapped her fingers: "That's right, just like you think. If you make Yukino happy, I'll make you happy too."

Her meaning was easy to understand, yet it left Yuan Qianye with mixed feelings.

Is Yang Nai treating herself as some kind of reward, needing to collect likes from Yukino before redeeming them from her?

This seems to have complicated the situation somewhat.

To be honest, if doing this would allow Yang Nai to maintain the relationship with him without feeling guilty, and enjoy it, then Yuan Qianye felt that although it was a bit troublesome, it was still quite worthwhile.

From his perspective, if the subsequent operations were carried out in the same way as Yang Nai, he felt that the situation of the Second Miss, who was completely unaware of the situation, seemed to become even more tragic.

Forget it, I shouldn't tell Yang Nai about these feelings. She finally found a way to reconcile with herself, so for now, I'll just go along with her.

Yuan Qianye had no objection and nodded in agreement.

With the agreement reached, Yang Nai happily leaned over and kissed him.

After waiting for Haruno to finish her work, the two went to a members-only Japanese restaurant under the pretext of talking about work.

In the center is a raised dining table, while the surrounding private rooms with tatami layouts provide great convenience for the two of them.

The dining table can be seen as a support point, and the flat tatami mat can also be used for other purposes.

The two talked about "serious business" from seven to nine o'clock.

When they came out of the restaurant, Yang was supported by Yuan Qianye. She hadn't drunk any alcohol tonight, but her body was even more limp than when she was most drunk.

His clothes were relatively neat, but in some unseen places, they were already tattered, both physically and mentally.

Yang finally realized just how much her mischievous younger brother's true strength far exceeded her imagination.

Using adjectives like "wild beast" to describe him seems a bit too docile.

After escorting Yono home, Yuan Qianye didn't linger. He waited for her to calm down a bit, gave her a goodnight kiss, and then got up to say goodbye.

The main reason is that they are afraid of a repeat of last night's situation where someone suddenly shows up at their door. Their relationship is special now, and they need to avoid being alone together without a proper reason or in an informal setting as much as possible.

On the way back, Yuan Qianye silently wondered if he should set up another secluded residence outside for his private rendezvous with Yang Nai, like a secret base.

The current situation is that it's definitely not feasible for the two of them to be together in her apartment, and they can only have a few drinks in her office for fun. A hotel outside is acceptable once or twice, but considering his relatively well-known status, something unexpected is bound to happen in the long run.

As for the private rooms in upscale restaurants, while they offer good privacy, they lack comfort and hygiene, and one has to be careful not to overdo it to avoid being noticed by the cleaning staff.

Of course, the most important point is that he cannot be completely honest with the woman he loves.

Yuan Qianye was particularly bothered by this.

Although wearing office lady uniforms gives him a sense of conquest, this kind of play is enough to do only once in a while.

The sweet and soft older sister, if he couldn't be close to her, unable to feel her surging heartbeat and burning body temperature, it would always feel like something was missing.

Yuan Qianye pondered this all the way home, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible the idea seemed.

However, I haven't made a decision yet. I plan to talk to Yang Nai face-to-face next time to hear her thoughts before making a formal decision.

"Onii-chan, you're back~ Do you want to take a shower first? I'll run you some water. Or are you hungry? There are some meat buns that my sister made in the fridge, I can heat them up for you~"

Rikka, who received "generous financial assistance from her sworn brother" today, was exceptionally enthusiastic the moment Minamoto Chiya returned home. She surrounded him, showing him warmth and care, just like a young wife on her honeymoon.

No, why would I think that...?

Gen Chiyo looked at Rikka, who was wearing a cute, flowing nightgown and walking barefoot on the floor, and casually looked away: "I want to take a bath while eating meat buns."

He was so busy filling Yang Nai's cups in the restaurant's private room that he didn't eat much.

"Yes, Master!" Rikka gave a loyal salute and immediately turned to carry out the task.

"Put your slippers on."

"I know~"

Watching Rikka's cheerful figure, Genchiya chuckled and shook his head.

He went back to his room to get his clothes, then soaked in the bathtub and sighed contentedly.

"Just call me anytime if you need a back scrub," Rikka cheerfully reminded everyone from outside the bathroom door.

Yuan Qianye replied, "No need, I'll take my time. It's getting late, you should get some rest."

"Okay, Onii-chan, goodnight."

"Ah."

As Rikka's footsteps faded into the distance, Chiyo placed her phone on the phone holder on the bathroom wall, casually put on an episode of Man vs. Wild and started playing it. She then picked up a plate and began to enjoy the meat buns that Rikka had heated up, relaxing in the bath while watching the movie and having a late-night snack.

It has to be said that Shihua's cooking skills are getting better and better. She can make a simple meat bun that is comparable to the standard of a Michelin-starred meal.

The salty and savory flavor of soy sauce, combined with the aroma of scallions and ginger, and a hint of sweetness, all blend together with the rich, fatty flavor of the pork itself. All the flavors are perfectly balanced, creating a robust and mouthwatering umami taste.

Yuan Qianye finished the three meat buns in less than two minutes, and still felt like he wanted more.

Of course, it's also possible that he was genuinely hungry after exercising.

Just then, a message popped up on his phone.

He took it and looked at it; it was a maid.

[Hayasaka Ai: Chiya, is it convenient for you to call and chat tonight?]

There was nothing inconvenient on Yuan Qianye's end, so he immediately made a call back.

The maid answered almost instantly: "Good evening, Chiya."

Gen Chiya smiled and replied, "Is there something you need?"

"I wanted to tell you that I received your gift this afternoon, thank you so much."

Last night at the Tanabata Festival, Hayasaka Ai realized that Kaguya-sama had sent people to follow her. Not wanting to involve Minamoto Chiya in any trouble, she shook off those people and went straight home. Naturally, she didn't have time to take back the gifts that Minamoto Chiya had prepared for her. Later, he specially arranged for them to be delivered to her.

"No need to be polite, it's nothing."

“It’s not like that for me. I will cherish it.” The maid made such a serious promise on the phone. Of course, she had called him specifically to talk about more than just this one thing: “I talked to the young lady about what happened last night. I can confirm that she does not know your identity, Qianye, so it should not affect your daily life. You can rest assured about that.”

"Actually, I didn't care too much at first. You said before that she did it out of good intentions. She was worried that you might encounter some bad people. It was a manifestation of her concern, so don't take it too seriously."

"That being said, this behavior was still somewhat offensive. I spoke with the young lady face to face and made it clear. She promised me that nothing like this would happen again, and I can guarantee that."

Yuan Qianye was a little worried that this would affect their relationship: "You weren't very serious or angry when you talked about these things, were you?"

Hayasaka Ai frankly said, "At first, the young lady was a little dissatisfied, but after I explained to her how important privacy is to me, she became more understanding. In short, it was a peaceful conversation, so she doesn't need to worry about me."

"That would be great. Let's hang out together sometime next time."

"Okay, then I won't bother you any longer. You should get some rest."

"You too, get some rest."

After a brief conversation, Yuan Qianye hung up the phone.

Four Palaces Villa.

After hanging up the phone, Hayasaka Ai held it against her chest.

Then she smiled gently, got up and went to her desk.

The birthday gifts that Qianye had made up for over the years were now quietly placed on the table.

I'll buy a display case later and put it in there; I'll just place it next to my desk.

Hayasaka Ai thought this silently, then took the largest plush toy and hugged it to her chest.

As for this, she plans to put it by her bedside so that she can see it first thing every morning when she wakes up.

Furthermore, while secretly spying on him, one could, in a sense, see this large doll as his embodiment, thus making oneself even more excited...

The mere thought that crossed his mind made Hayasaka Ai's eyes slightly moist.

Come to think of it, it's been several days since I've done "that"...

I finished work early today, so I can relax a little. I just wonder if Qianye will take off her shirt and do stretching exercises in her room tonight.

With her mind slightly feverish as she thought about these things, Hayasaka Ai placed the large plush toy on the bedside table, imagining it as Minamoto Chiya. She couldn't resist hugging it and gently rubbing it against him as she rolled around on the bed.

"Well……"

"Thousand Nights..."

After such an unseemly little release of her "hidden" desires, the maid sat up a few minutes later, her face flushed.

It's about time I took a shower.

She placed the doll upright on the bedside table, stared at it with such satisfaction, patted its head, and then got up and walked towards the bathroom.

But as soon as she got up and took a step, her expression suddenly changed as if she had noticed something incredible. She then turned back and quickly approached the doll's eyes.

Those eyes looked like ordinary ones, decorated with black hard plastic.

However, upon closer inspection, you will find that there is a semi-transparent mask with very low transparency that is not noticeable unless you look closely.

And beneath such an inconspicuous and highly concealed cover, there seems to be something else.

Thump! Thump—!

The maid's heart pounded even harder. She could hardly believe what she had discovered, but the facts were right in front of her, leaving her no choice but to believe them!

She shakily picked up her phone, then shakily turned on the flashlight function and brought it close to the doll's eyes, which she had noticed were strange.

The moment the intense light shone on the eyeball, what was hidden beneath the surface of the eyeball became immediately clear.

The circular structure has a central part that gleams like glass.

This was all too familiar to her.

Without a doubt, this was an elaborately designed hidden camera device!

Hidden cameras?!

Upon realizing this fact, Hayasaka Ai froze on the spot, as if struck by lightning, her brain trembling!
