"Hmm. Even though you can't be with me, you still insist on showing up in front of me."

"I'm sorry, it's fate that we met. Even if we can't be lovers, being friends is fine too. I'm very happy to have met you and have another friend with whom I can speak my mind."

"Hmph...! Don't say things like that that could make me fall for you again."

"Haha..." Masamune couldn't help but laugh again. "I'll try my best."

Chapter 460 It's nice to spend time alone together occasionally

After several days of fermentation, the service activities intensified, and were discussed everywhere on television, in newspapers, and online. Television reporters also followed up on the progress of the activities.

Oregairu 3 was one of the most anticipated anime of the season, and it has now become the focus of attention in society.

Hello everyone, this is Zhaotian reporting live from here.

Today we're featuring Tokyo's hottest detective, Kuroda. We can see that Kuroda directly contacts the neighbors of his target group to gather detailed information.

Huh...? Detective Kuroda took out his wallet and pulled out a stack of banknotes.

I see, is it an intelligence fee?

Because the following steps involve citizens' personal privacy, we will be taking a walk around outside the door...

Seeing this, Sanzenin Nagi, bored out of her mind, picked up the remote and changed the channel.

The event hasn't even started yet, and the detective's investigation involves many confidential aspects. The whole thing is a talk show hosted by a beautiful female anchor, which some lewd older men might enjoy watching.

But Sanzenin Nagi couldn't stand it anymore, feeling that it wasn't as interesting as her dreams every night.

I kept switching channels, and they were all pretty much the same: either detective investigations and follow-up reports, personal interviews with members of the Service Department, or expert commentary on the event.

Switching to a channel that was playing anime, Sanzenin Nagi perked up and watched for a while, but the more she watched, the more bored she became.

'To be honest, this anime is actually quite good, so why can't I get into it? Has my taste been spoiled by Musashino? Or have my standards just gotten too high?'

'Sigh... Shiina's drawing skills are too outstanding, completely out of step with the rest of the industry. Even though the animators at Musashino are far inferior to her, with her guidance, the art style is significantly superior to other anime.'

"One or two shows a year wouldn't have much of an impact, but Musashino Anime has four seasons in one season, which is too fast."

"After eating so much cream cake, I can't really eat a steamed bun."

Lost in thought, Sanzenin Nagi changed the subject again.

But no matter how many channels I switch to, I can't get into any of them.

The voices coming from the television were like a lullaby, and with the hot weather, my eyelids suddenly felt heavy.

Leaning back on the sofa, I fell asleep without realizing it.

In my dream, my thoughts drifted further and further away.

……

"Amazing! You sang very well."

"Thank you, but I'd rather hear your feedback on my shortcomings than receive praise."

In the recording studio, Setsuna had just finished recording a song.

Seeing Masamune outside, he immediately strode out.

"I'm sorry, I'm just a layman when it comes to singing, so I can't tell if you're singing well or not. At most, I can only say that your emotions don't seem to be there."

"That's it! As for the emotions, what should this song be like? I've read the anime script several times, but I still can't quite understand Shirou Emiya's feelings."

"In that case, shall we go watch some anime?" Masamune suggested with a smile.

Setsuna is a great singer and can handle all kinds of songs. Therefore, she sings a significant portion of the songs in the Musashino anime.

Today's recording is for the promotional PV2 of Prisma Illya.

Based on the previous assessment results, the simpler songs in Prisma Illya will be sung by Illya and others, while the more difficult songs will be sung by Setsuna.

Among them, promotional PV1 is a montage of daily life episodes, while promotional PV2 is a montage of the Emiya Hero episodes.

The former is not difficult to sing, and it will be sung by Illya and Miyu; the latter is more difficult to sing, and it will be sung by Setsuna.

"Is the PV ready yet? But just watching the PV, I still can't quite feel the emotions involved."

"The PV is 80% complete, but not entirely finished yet. If you really can't get into it, would you like to simulate an animation scene with me?"

"no problem."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yukina noticed Masamune lying on the bench and exclaimed in surprise:

"Am I playing Emiya Shirou?"

"Of course, Shirou Emiya is the main character in this part."

"Alright then, what should I do next?"

"I've been arrested as Miyu, what should you do next?"

"I will definitely rescue you! Miyu." As soon as she finished speaking, Yukina couldn't help but laugh. "No, that's so out of character!"

"In that case, let's change our strategy."

Masamune stood up, sat up straight, and then said:

"Try to imagine that someone is trying to take away what's most important to you. How would you feel? And what would you do?"

Setsuna fell into deep thought. What would she do if a rival appeared and tried to drive her away? Would she cower in a corner and cry her heart out, or would she fight back?

"I will do everything I can to stop it."

"That's exactly how it is. Emiya Shirou in Miyu's flashback arc felt the same way. The enemy was too powerful to defeat, and allies were wiped out at the start, leaving him to fight alone. Even if the odds of winning were pitifully small, he had to grit his teeth and persevere."

Setsuna picked up the conversation, speaking as she thought:

"And at the moment when Miyu was finally sent away, Shirou Emiya must have felt a mixture of joy, anticipation, and worry, right?"

"I'm glad that Miyu was successfully sent away, and I hope she can find happiness. But I'm also worried that the parallel world is not a good place either."

At that moment, Setsuna suddenly felt like turning around and singing it again.

"Thank you. Now I feel like I can grasp Shirou Emiya's mindset to some extent."

"Don't be so polite, I can only do some talking." Masamune smiled and said while thinking, "If there's a song to accompany the event in a few days, the effect would be even better. Do you want to go up and have a go?"

"I'm fine with that, but what should I sing? The opening or ending theme of Oregairu 3?"

"No, I think it's more appropriate to sing an inspirational song at this time."

"Hmm... Is this a cover song? Which one? We'll probably need to buy the rights, right?"

"Let's talk about 'Don't Give Up'. Of all the inspirational songs, this is my top recommendation."

"?? There's a song like this?"

???

Masamune was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized that there seemed to be no Izumi-nee in this world.

"I'm sorry, I seem to have confused dreams with reality again. Since this song doesn't exist, I'll immediately send someone to find the original author and write it as quickly as possible."

"...Is it necessary? Anyway, nobody knows."

"Heaven knows, earth knows, and my heart knows. Moreover, with the original composer involved, this song will definitely be even more perfect. After all, although my memory is good, I can't guarantee that I can remember it 100%."

"Okay, it doesn't bother me, as long as you don't mind the trouble."

"It's not that troublesome. Anyway, the detective is still investigating, so I've been pretty free these past few days."

Yukina's eyes lit up, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face:

“Every time I hear you say that, I feel an urge to invite you to go out and have fun.”

“Sure, let’s go on a date together when Mashiro and Umaru aren’t busy,” Masamune said with a smile.

"Hmm..." Yukina puffed out her cheeks, "Can't we go alone together?"

"Then let's pick a time when they're both relatively busy."

"Huh...? Is that okay?"

"Of course, it's nice to spend some time alone together occasionally."

"Hmm... I'll find a suitable time, so please don't refuse then."

"Ah."

Chapter 461 The Idea of ​​Retirement

"...No matter how far apart we are, I will be with you..."

Inside the corridor of Fengcheng University, upon hearing Yukina's soft humming, Yanagihara Tomo subconsciously stopped in his tracks.

Setsuna stood alone by the window, her smooth hair flowing in the breeze, her flawless profile captivating no matter how many times you looked at her, her gaze seemingly fixed on a distant place.

'It's so beautiful...'

Even though she is also a woman and considers herself a beautiful girl, Tomo Yanagihara has to admit that this friend, who is both a friend and her strongest rival, is her ideal type, or even a super-enhanced version.

'Another new song? President Hayase of Musashino is really something, releasing one new song after another to propel Setsuna to stardom.'

"Of course, this is also because Setsuna herself has excellent singing skills. Someone else definitely wouldn't have been able to perform as well. Some songs are inherently difficult to sing, let alone sing and dance at the same time."

'By the way, since the new semester started, Setsuna seems much more cheerful. Did something good happen?'

At that moment, Setsuna suddenly looked over and asked with a smile:

"What do you want from me? Liu Yuan, standing here without saying a word is quite intimidating."

Liu Yuanpeng was a little embarrassed and couldn't help but say:

"I thought you hadn't noticed me."

"No matter what, I couldn't possibly be that unguarded," Yukina chuckled. "So, is there something you need?"

"No, I was just passing by."

"I see. By the way, how's work been lately?"

"Not really, the requirements are higher than I expected." Liu Yuanpeng shook his head slightly.
