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

“From now on… don’t say those things to me again,” Yukino took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound calm. “And… don’t do those things to me that are easy to misunderstand.”

"You're not even allowed to speak your mind? Yukino, when did you become so domineering? Also, you are indeed wearing the gift I gave you before. To be honest, although it looks good on you, it doesn't quite match your evening gown tonight."

After all, I didn't have much money back then, so I just bought it from a random roadside grocery store. Looking closely, the quality isn't great. I'll get you another one later, with the same snowflake design.

"Don't bother, I like this. And... please don't do this anymore... If you insist on doing this, I won't be able to face Eriri."

Chiya noticed that Yukino's shoulders were trembling slightly, clearly indicating that she had gone through a lot of mental preparation before deciding to speak so frankly.

He sighed inwardly.

The woman in front of him was undoubtedly the most difficult one to deal with. Ever since she confessed when she first returned to the country, their relationship had deteriorated instead of progressing, remaining stubbornly at the level of good friends.

He sighed inwardly.

Although he wasn't in a hurry, he felt that if things continued like this, there would be no progress until he graduated from university.

This is difficult...

Just as he was considering whether he should rein himself in for the time being, at least to let Yukino relax from this tense state, a fragrant breeze carrying a lazy smile approached.

Yukinoshita Haruno walked over gracefully, holding a wine glass.

It was no coincidence that she came.

She had been silently observing the situation between the two of them. She saw that their conversation went from being relaxed to Yukino suddenly taking a step back when Minamoto Chiyo reached out her hand. She roughly understood what had happened.

Chiya wanted to try to take it a step further.

But her slow-witted sister didn't accept it.

Instead of accepting it, they showed resistance.

If I could just let go of those so-called insistences a little, I could feel much more at ease, instead of having to keep my long-held feelings of liking and love hidden in my heart and being so conflicted.

But then she thought, if she were to simply give in and compromise, she wouldn't be the stubborn Yukino she is.

I feel incredibly relieved now that I've crossed that line, but it was all due to a series of coincidences and the fact that I was genuinely moved by this scoundrel that I crossed that line and ended up in this intimate relationship with him.

There's no really good way, let's take it slow.

"Did the two of you sneak off here to arrange some follow-up activities after the banquet?" Yang Nai joked as always.

Although she didn't like the joke, her sister's arrival was a huge help to Yukino.

"Sister, I need to go to the restroom."

"Oh, go out the gate over there, turn right and you'll see it."

Yukino nodded slightly, then left hastily without looking at Minamoto Chiya again.

Yuan Qianye watched her departing figure, rubbed his temples, and turned his gaze back to the night view outside the window.

Yang Nai moved closer, standing beside him, and gently swirled the red wine in her glass: "Not going too well."

“Yes.” Yuan Qianye smiled bitterly, his expression somewhat wry.

He has an exceptional physique, has published books and won awards, and now has his own assets and has become the head of a company. He is a genius and a successful person in the eyes of others, but no matter how outstanding he is, he is currently completely helpless against Yukino.

It's like hitting cotton with a hammer with tremendous force; you can't exert any power at all.

Yang Nai smiled and said, "You look so pitiful right now. I'd like to hug you, but I'm sorry, I can't right now."

"Does your sister have any good ideas?"

"Hmm... just like back then, with alcohol?"

"We'll have to wait until Yukino comes of age, and besides... I have a feeling that Yukino's behavior when she's drunk won't be like yours, where you'd be so enthusiastic afterwards."

"Then... just like you did for me, arrange a surprise for her that will immediately show how much thought went into it?"

"That would probably just scare her away."

"That's true... I'm sorry, my little sister is so difficult to deal with."

"No, I just like her just the way she is."

What are your plans for the future?

"Let's just take it slow like this, improve myself, and find a way to keep her by my side. In short, I won't let go."

"Great spirit! Keep it up! So... since you're not planning on a date with Yukino tonight, how about coming to my place?"

"As long as you don't mind, sister."

"Then the same as always, I'll wait for you."

"it is good."

Not far away, Mrs. Yukinoshita and her husband were talking with others when they witnessed Haruno and Chiya standing together and having a smooth conversation. A smile appeared on their lips.

Yukino and Chiya like each other, and Haruno is also very satisfied with her future brother-in-law. The two have a good relationship, and nothing is better than a harmonious family.

The future of the Yukino family will be managed jointly by the two sisters. Haruno will be in charge of external relations and business opportunities, while Yukino will be in charge of internal business operations.

With such an outstanding child as Chiya, if he is so inclined, the Yukino family could potentially support him and help him enter politics like her husband after he marries Yukino.

If he didn't have those kinds of thoughts, continuing on his current path and developing his company into a thriving enterprise would be a bright future for him.

But in any case, given this child's loyal and affectionate nature, once she officially gets together with Yukino, the Yukinoshita family will definitely have more support in the future.

Of course, as a mother, what she cares about most is her daughters' lifelong happiness.

Based on the character that Chiyo has shown so far, there is no doubt that Yukino will be very happy after marriage. She will not have to go through the difficult path of slowly raising a good-for-nothing husband like she did back then.

The problem is that Yukino's health is a bit weak, so I wonder if she'll have any difficulties getting pregnant...

Although she really wanted to have more grandchildren, if Yukino's body couldn't handle it, then having one child wouldn't be a problem. The rest could be left to Haruno, who is in good health.

As her thoughts gradually drifted to Yang Nai, Mrs. Yukinoshita became worried again.

My eldest daughter is already quite old, but I've never seen her show any interest in any men.

I've never brought a male friend home, and I don't like any male celebrities or idols. My dad seems to dislike me, but I'm very close to my grandparents, and that's purely familial affection.

As for the rest... all told, she was only very close to Chiya. As for the Ye Shan family's son, she seemed to have teased him a few times, but that was when she was very young. After she entered junior high school, she basically had no contact with the Ye Shan family's son.

This is not good news. Time flies, and Yang Nai will graduate in the blink of an eye. Although she is very capable and does not need to rely on a man, it would be best to have someone she likes and can entrust to share her burdens. Children grow up and have to have their own lives. They cannot always rely on their parents.

The younger daughter is making progress subtly, but the older daughter's progress can't be relaxed either.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

After returning from the banquet that day, Yuan Qianye resumed her hectic life.

The music theory he learned in Vienna allows him to independently produce an entire song even without Kazusa's help.

Of course, considering efficiency, he also hired professional talents to assist him in recording, mixing and other tasks, and optimized the final version to ensure that it has consistent and excellent sound quality and loudness on various playback devices.

On Christmas Day, he used the account he had always used to release songs to release three songs at the same time. All of them were high-quality works from another world that he remembered in his mind: "Dream Lantern", "Prayer ~To You at That Time~" and "PLANET".

At the same time, instead of keeping a low profile, he had Rikka, who was in charge of managing his account, tag his song's alternate account on social media with the caption, "Please continue to support me in the upcoming new year!"

This move instantly caused an uproar on Japanese social media and in the media!

He's handsome, a national gold medalist in sports, and undoubtedly the number one!

In addition, his literary achievements are also extraordinary. Not only has he won numerous awards, but he is also able to publish three books a year, and each of them is a bestseller!

In addition, he has now founded his own company and acquired several studios in succession, and has begun to work with others to make a strong push in the comics field.

The above only highlights the key achievements of his; other honors such as being recognized by the government and being selected by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government as a city ambassador on its official website have been omitted.

Even so, the impression he gives to the outside world is that of someone who is extremely exaggerated.

I've never seen anyone demonstrate such overwhelming dominance across so many fields at the same time.

And now, he hasn't let go of the music industry either. When he does make a move, it's a game-changer!

His works consistently ranked in the top ten of the weekly charts on Oricon and Billboard Japan Hot!

The following week, Yuan Qianye's previous works also entered the list due to his personal popularity and the high quality of his works.

For a short period of time, he had seven songs in the top twenty! That's just too outrageous!

Netizens exclaimed that it was outrageous!

The TV station also sensed the buzz and has been broadcasting about it non-stop for the past few days!

Despite the overwhelming media coverage, Yuan Qianye did not become arrogant or complacent; he simply followed his plan step by step.

On the last afternoon of the year, after finishing his television interview, he returned to his car.

There are two more arrangements following this.

Eriri will wait for him in the office to talk about matters related to the manga.

A little later, Yukino would come to him to talk about something. She didn't say what they wanted to talk about, but for convenience, he arranged to meet her in his office.

He returned to his office, where Eriri had been waiting for him for a long time.

Upon meeting, she was clearly overjoyed, but she restrained herself from showing it immediately because Miyoko Kudo was present.

After Miyoko finished her brief work report and left, she couldn't help but go up to her lover and hug him. The two snuggled together in the large executive chair.

Most of the time, Eriri would chat about her recent events in a rambling manner, mostly about her ongoing and successful manga series and Yukino.

Yuan Qianye simply listened to her with a smile, occasionally responding with a word of agreement, patting her head, and gradually tightening the arms around her body.

It feels good to have a goal together and work together to move forward, but in the process they spend very little time by each other's side, which can make them feel a little lonely.

Therefore, when they finally meet, they always try to stay close to each other.

Then, just a few minutes later, Eriri's speaking speed slowed down noticeably, and her volume began to tremble and decrease until only her soft breathing could be heard in the office.

"...Want a kiss?" Her little bottom was burning from being touched, and she finally couldn't help but look up.

Genchiya happily lowered his head and kissed her lips, then got up and carried her into the private lounge.

When he was deciding on his office, he didn't have any special requirements. The only thing his subordinates needed to pay special attention to was that he needed a relatively private rest room, preferably with a bed, so that he could go in and take a nap whenever he was tired from working.

In short, this is the official explanation. The subordinates don't need to know the specifics of what the boss wants to do; they just need to get the job done for the boss.

Eriri was a little nervous because it was her first time being intimate with Chiya in the office, but after Chiya repeatedly assured her that it was absolutely safe and no one would find out, she was quickly aroused and turned into a delicious and edible state.

An hour later, Eriri drifted off to sleep.

Gen Chiyo emerged in high spirits, just as Yukino arrived as promised.
