The author of the depressing comic book series makes the heroine cry.

When Qingtaki Keika heard her father's words, her fair cheeks turned a little red.

She also had some guesses about what her father was thinking.

Qingtaki Keika tilted her head slightly and saw Kong Yinzi's face turn pale.

A look of distress flashed across Qingtaki Keika's beautiful eyes. She reached out her hand unnoticeably, gently patted Kong Yinzi on the back, and whispered in her ear.

"It's just a girlfriend. You haven't lost yet. Besides, if you can't beat them, maybe you can join them."

Hearing these vicious words, Kong Yinzi's originally pale face immediately turned red with embarrassment.

"Sister Guixiang, what are you talking about?"

Kong Yinzi's mind was in a mess now. She felt disappointed and sad about Xia Qiu's sudden announcement of his girlfriend, as well as the resentment and struggle in her heart about what Sister Guixiang said.

Xia Qiu, who was standing opposite, had been silently watching Kong Yinzi's changes. When he saw Kong Yinzi's face turn pale, he felt a little uncomfortable and secretly thought about making up for Kong Yinzi.

Then let’s help Kong Yinzi win the chess king competition held in February.

Eriri next to her smiled more enthusiastically, and bowed slightly to Kiyotaki Kosuke and Kiyotaki Keika, saying, "Mr. Kiyotaki, Ms. Kiyotaki, it's nice to meet you. I've heard Xia Qiu talk a lot about you before, and seeing you today, it's just as he said, you're all very kind and friendly people."

Qingtaki Kosuke came back to his senses and responded with a smile: "Haha, Miss Eriri, you are too polite. To be liked by Xia Qiujun, you must be a very good girl."

Qingtaki Keika also smiled and nodded: "Yes, Miss Eriri is very beautiful, and she is a good match for Xia Qiu."

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. In order to break the awkward atmosphere, Xia Qiu quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Mr. Qingtaki, I heard that you and Sora Ginko are going to participate in the Chess King Tournament in February next year. How are your preparations going?"

Qingtaki Kosuke then turned his attention away from the relationship between Eriri and Xia Qiu, and his expression became serious: "She is well prepared. Ginko has been training very hard during this period. I believe she will achieve good results."

Kong Yinzi took a deep breath, tried to adjust her emotions, and smiled confidently: "Teacher, don't worry, I will do my best."

Her eyes swept over Eriri, as if to cheer her up.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little delicate.

In order to break the slightly awkward atmosphere, Xia Qiu raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a gentle smile, and took the initiative to suggest: "Teacher Qingtaki, Sister Guixiang, since everyone is here, why don't we go to the wishing pool and make a wish together."

Qingtaki Kosuke was stunned at first, then he laughed heartily, "Haha, it just so happens that we are here to make a wish as well, let's go together!"

Kiyotaki Katsuraka at the side smiled like a Yamato Nadeshiko, "Great, maybe the gods will hear our wishes and help us realize them if they are happy."

"You're right, Ginko-chan."

Hearing what Qingtaki Keika said, Kong Yinzi bit her pink lower lip, and a barely perceptible dimness flashed in her eyes.

She coughed lightly and pretended to be calm and said, "Well... OK, let's go together."

Afterwards, everyone went to the wishing pond at Suga Shrine.

When we arrived at the place, the first thing that caught our eye was an ancient hand-washing pool, with spoons neatly arranged in the clear water.

Qingtaki Kosuke strode forward with a solemn expression, slowly put his hands into the water, scooped up the clear water, and rubbed his fingers carefully.

After washing, take a towel and dry it.

Then, he picked up the spoon, tilted his head back to rinse his mouth, and spit into a specially prepared basin. After finishing, he closed his eyes, put his hands together, and began to make a wish.

It has to be said that cherry blossoms in these places start to become more formalistic.

Then, Qingtaki Keika also stepped forward, bowed her head slightly, and clasped her hands together gently, "I hope my family is safe and sound, and I also hope... I can meet the right person."

Kong Yinzi, who was standing next to him, slowly closed his eyes, frowned slightly, and muttered silently in his heart: "I hope I can win the chess championship. As for Xia Qiu... Oh, forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore..."

Even she herself couldn't figure out her complicated thoughts.

"Eri, what are you going to wish for?"

Xia Qiu watched Kong Yinzi and the other two making wishes and found it quite novel. He turned his head to look at Ying Lili beside him.

Hearing this, Ying Lili couldn't help but roll her eyes at Xia Qiu, her cheeks slightly reddened, "It won't work if you say it out loud, you big idiot."

Of course, she would not say that she had already made a wish in her heart, hoping to grow old with Xia Qiu, and it would be best if they could be alone.

If that doesn't work, she must challenge Kasumigaoka Utaha, become Xia Qiu's main wife, and step on Kasumigaoka Utaha under her feet!

at the same time.

On the red railing stairs where Taki and Mitsuha met, Sora-sama and Eromanga-sensei were climbing up breathlessly.

"Huh... What kind of crappy stairs is this? Why is it so long? I can't do it anymore, sister-chan, let's go back."

Sensei Eromanga was hunched over, with his hands on his knees, breathing heavily. Sweat kept coming out of his forehead, sliding down his cheeks, soaking the collar of his clothes. He looked very embarrassed.

As a stay-at-home type, Eromanga-sensei feels that he has used up all the exercise he could get in his lifetime.

If I had known, I wouldn’t have agreed to let Sister Qiong come.

At this time, Sister Qiong was standing on a few steps above, her eyes shining, and her little face slightly red from climbing the stairs.

She looked at Eromanga-sensei, who was so exhausted that he seemed to have lost all desire to live, and her face twisted. How should she encourage Eromanga-sensei?

After thinking about it, suddenly, an idea flashed in Sister Qiong's mind, and she smiled and bewitched.

"Eromanga-sensei, think about it! If we could see Onii-chan and his NPY today, you could draw lots and lots of cool illustrations based on Onii-chan!"

As Qiong-mei spoke, she gestured excitedly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "You've always wanted to draw different versions of your brother, right? This is a great opportunity!"

Hearing this, Eromanga's originally tired and lifeless eyes brightened up for a moment, but when he thought about the long staircase, he became discouraged and said with a bitter face.

"That's true, but I can't climb these stairs anymore."

Qiong-mei would not give up so easily. She ran to Eromanga-sensei, grabbed her arm and shook it vigorously. "Teacher, teacher, just hold on a little longer. When you see Brother, his every move, every frown and smile will all be your material! And if you can draw him on the spot, the Brother you draw will definitely be very vivid, and you will definitely be able to draw the unique atmosphere of a date. Your fans will definitely go crazy when they see it!"

Listening to the devilishly bewitching tone of Sister Qiong, and her longing to see Xia Qiu and draw her, Teacher Eromanga's cute face was almost wrinkled into a ball.

She bit her lip with great difficulty, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, then just hold on a little longer, but you can't lie to me. If you don't get any good footage, you have to treat me to desserts for a month!"

“No problem!” Qiongmei jumped up excitedly, a triumphant smile on her face, “After we finish filming, I’ll treat you to two months of desserts! Let’s go quickly, my brother and the others will be leaving soon!”

After saying that, Qiong-mei took Eromanga-sensei's hand and climbed towards the top of the stairs again with full enthusiasm.

What the two women didn't expect was that behind them were Kato and Isshi Iroha who were disguised very well.

"Kato, now that we are here, let's make a wish."

Listening to Isshiki Caiyu's excited voice, Kato hesitated for a moment, but still nodded lightly.
