In this crossover anime, I've been bound to two systems.

"Actually, Eriri and I seem to be being followed by a pervert recently, which makes me feel uneasy."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's tone instantly became delicate and helpless; one could almost picture her pitiful expression through the phone's microphone.

But why does this scene feel so familiar?

"...Stop kidding me, be serious."

Chisato Suzumiya noticed the ease in the other person's tone.

"You've been found out~ I'll keep you in suspense for now, and we'll talk about it when we meet the day after tomorrow."

"understood."

"kindness."

At Toyonosaki campus, Kasumigaoka Utaha, sitting in the cafeteria, hung up the phone.

Eriri Sawamura, who had been eavesdropping on her conversation, now distanced herself from her.

"Wouldn't that be a bit too forward? If we ask him to stay out all night on our first date, won't he think we're promiscuous?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha put her phone in her pocket and glanced speechlessly at Sawamura Eriri, who was backing out at the last minute.

"You brought the hotel vouchers, and you came up with the plan. After I made the phone call and we arranged to meet a thousand miles apart, you said these things to try to absolve yourself. You really have a good plan."

"I was just mentioning it to you casually, who knew you would actually call me right away!"

Eriri Sawamura's voice weakened.

"Besides, after you said all that nonsense to my mother, I explained things clearly and everything seemed to be back to normal. But actually, my father still cares about me. He calls to ask where I am if I come home a little late. He even resists going fishing, which he loves most, and insists on picking me up from school before we officially set off."

This time was no different. A friend gave him a voucher, and he gave it to me, saying it was for me to have a meal and get together with close friends, but he never mentioned that I should stay overnight.

Kasumigaoka Utaha chuckled softly.

"Isn't that great? After dinner the day after tomorrow, just be a good boy and go home quietly. Then leave the rest to me. Don't worry, I'll tell you everything Qianli and I talked about that night, word for word."

Who would believe you were just chatting?

Eriri Sawamura thought to herself, "This is what I'm thinking."

Never before had she longed for economic independence and freedom from the control of her parents as much as she did now.

She also began to envy Kasumigaoka Utaha. Her parents practically raised her in a laissez-faire manner, and if she didn't come home at night, they only needed to call back to let her know. She was extremely free.

In less than two years, after I go to university, I'll be able to move out legitimately.

Eriri Sawamura had already made up her mind, and could only try to communicate with her parents when she got home that night, hoping that everything would go smoothly and she could get their permission.

If there's really no other way, even if I have to leave, I'll definitely drag Kasumigaoka along with me.

The moment Suzumiya Chisato hung up the phone, Touma Kazusa's cold voice came from behind her.

"I'm going to practice the piano now."

Suzumiya Chisato turned around and glanced at her, feeling strange but still answering.

"Go ahead and practice."

"I don't like having people around when I practice the piano."

This is an eviction order.

But you just said I could stay here.

I ultimately held back from saying those words, feeling that it would only create unnecessary conflict.

However, Suzumiya Chisato had more or less guessed that the sudden change in her mood was probably related to the phone call he had just received.

"Okay, good luck."

After leaving those words, Suzumiya Senri picked up his lunchbox and the piano books that Touma had given him. Before leaving, he took a pudding out of his pocket and placed it on the piano. It was strawberry flavored.

As Suzumiya Chisato left the first music room and walked downstairs, he saw a group of delinquents smoking together at the corner on the third floor.

Suzumiya Senri walked past them without glancing to the side.

After putting his things on his seat, he declined the invitations from two girls who had come together to ask him to go out with them on the weekend, and left the classroom again.

The narrow space beneath the stairs, rarely frequented by anyone, remains, as always, home to a pink-haired earthbound spirit.

Suzumiya Chisato crouched down and quietly approached the girl who was completely engrossed in her work, then gently tapped her shoulder with her index finger.

"what!"

Goto Ichiri cried out in surprise and quickly turned around. When she saw that the person who came was Suzumiya Chisato with a big smile on her face, her panicked expression quickly turned into surprise and joy. She was happy that the other person had come.

"What are you doing, so focused on?"

Suzumiya Chisato sat down cross-legged beside her.

It's that familiar scent; Suzumiya-kun smells so good.

"The band is considering releasing an original song. I was asked by Hongxia to write the lyrics, and I'm currently thinking about the lyrics."

After the initial surprise, Goto Ichiri lowered his head, not daring to look at the other person's face.

Although the two had known each other for some time, she still couldn't help but react this way when she was in a confined space and close to Suzumiya Chisato. Social anxiety is not a symptom that is easy to overcome or cure.

They've actually started writing songs for their own bands!

Suzumiya Chisato looked at Goto Ichiri with great satisfaction.

Can you tell me what kind of song it is?

"Um... I haven't decided yet."

"Could I take a look at the lyrics you've written?"

"I haven't... started writing yet."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Suzumiya Chisato spoke.

"Ichiri, are you putting too much pressure on yourself?"

"Yeah...sorry."

Goto Ichiri closed her eyes tightly and apologized very skillfully.

Suzumiya Chisato sighed helplessly.

"I think it's better to get rid of the habit of apologizing to people all the time, otherwise you might get bullied."

Goto Ichiri was clearly startled. (Group: 511479481)

"So, you mean, Suzumiya-kun bullies me..."

Suzumiya Chisato wanted to scare her, so she grinned mischievously.

"Who knows?"

"Please, please don't do that."

Goto Ichiri glanced at Suzumiya Chisato secretly, then quickly looked away, blushing.

"..."

Please respect me. Why are you not afraid at all, and instead seem excited? Am I not bad enough?

"pain……"

After gently tapping Goto Ichiri's head, Suzumiya Chisato nodded with satisfaction, feeling that she had finally become somewhat like a bad guy.

"Do you need my help?"

"Eh?"

"I mean, the lyrics. Do you need my help?"

The current situation coincided with some of the thoughts in Suzumiya Chisato's mind, and he wanted to try that possibility.

Chapter 117 The Trial of Suzumiya Senri

Suzumiya Senri always felt that he had disgraced transmigrators. He had a large number of memories from his past life in his mind, covering a very wide range of topics, but he had no way to bring them out and convert them into cash.

The idea of ​​writing novels about past lives to make money in this world is not new, but putting it into practice is fraught with difficulties.

The human brain is not a hard drive, where you can search for any information you want and get the exact results. After reading those novels that cost hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, you only remember the general plot.

Even if Suzumiya Chisato now possesses the same excellent writing skills as Kasumigaoka Utaha, and is capable of filling in his own words with just a rough plot, he is still unwilling to do so.

The reason is simple: writing is a very mentally and physically demanding activity. It doesn't bring substantial benefits overnight. There are even situations where you put in a lot of effort, but no one pays attention to it.

Suzumiya Chisato's time is precious. As a student, he has to balance his studies and maintain his grades. He likes Touma Kazusa and also has feelings for Kasumigaoka Utaha and Sawamura Eriri. Twenty-four hours a day is not enough for him. He doesn't want to imprison himself at his desk by writing.

He continued to think about whether there was a way to make money that was unique to him, not easily replicated, with low time costs, good dissemination channels, and quick market response.

Then, during his lunch break that day, Goto Ichiri, who was struggling with the lyrics for her unreleased new song, appeared before him.

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.

"Is it lyrics written by Suzumiya-kun, not by Pochi-chan?"

"Mmm...Mmm."

Around 5 p.m., after receiving news that Goto Ichiri's lyrics were finished, the other three members of the Lonely Band rushed to the Starlight Performance Hall as soon as they got off school.

However, as soon as they put down their schoolbags, Goto Ichiri bluntly told them the truth.

Nijika Ichi was the first to react.

"Does Suzumiya-kun also play music?"

Goto Ichiri shook his head.

"He doesn't play music, and he doesn't even understand basic music theory."

"Not understanding basic music theory means..."

"He can't even read sheet music."
