Anime Crossover: There are a lot of beautiful girls who like me.

"Hey! Yu! Shall we go to the piano room for our club activity this noon?"

"Forehead......"

"Is this the legendary piano enthusiast? He's truly terrifying!" Kitagawa Yu was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but mutter to himself.

“But there’s only a short time at noon,” Kitagawa Yu said after thinking for a moment.

The lunch break is only 45 minutes long. After deducting lunch time, there are only about 20 minutes left. It would be too much trouble to go to the piano room for club activities.

However, Karen Himegami seemed to have anticipated this, and said with a grin, "Hey, I made two bento boxes, so we can go to the piano room for lunch together!"

Chapter 21 Old Eight's Little Thoughts

"what?"

Going to such a clean, tidy, and elegant piano classroom for lunch?!

This guy really came up with something amazing!

If the piano were conscious, and knew she was going to do this, it would definitely cry, right?

Kitagawa Yu cursed inwardly for a moment before realizing that Himegami Karen had actually made him a bento box.

Something... seems off!

Kitagawa Yu subconsciously glanced at Hanami Anna and Hakamada Sosuke beside him, and saw that Hanami Anna was indeed surprised and opened her mouth wide, with an excited expression of eating gossip.

As for Hakamada Sosuke... his face visibly darkened, and his eyes were filled with frustration.

"No, no, no! Hakamada-san! You absolutely mustn't be discouraged, and you absolutely mustn't give up. You have to keep trying! What will happen to my old bastard if Hakamada-san just gives up like this?"

Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but get a little anxious looking at Hakamada Sosuke's reaction!

Fortunately, as the childhood friend who could turn the main heroine, Anna Hanami, into a loser, Sosuke Hakamada is much more resilient than he imagined.

This small setback is far from defeating him.

"Besides, doesn't Yu have to go to an arts class every afternoon? That means she only has time for club activities at noon, right?"

The oblivious Himegami Karen didn't notice the change in Hakamada Sosuke's expression and gave a second reason, directly silencing Kitagawa Yu's original words.

However... Kitagawa Yu really doesn't want to eat lunch with Himemiya Karen in the piano room during lunch break!

What if such an ambiguous relationship is misunderstood by Anna?

Well... okay, actually, there's no need to worry about "what ifs." At this point, Anna Hanami has clearly misunderstood.

When Kitagawa Yu had a sudden inspiration and tried to refuse by using the excuse, "What will happen to Hanami-kun if club activities are held during lunch break?"

Anzu, standing nearby, spoke up before Karen Himegami could say anything: "Hey, I brought a bento box today too! And I made Kusuke's too!"

"..."

Now it was Kitagawa Yu's turn to look unhappy.

Although he knew that Anna Hagami, as Sosuke Hakamada's childhood friend, had always liked Sosuke Hakamada, and although the two had never even held hands, Anna Hagami had made bento boxes for Sosuke Hakamada for a period of time when they were in junior high school.

But... he's still really unhappy!!!

And what's with Hakamada Sosuke being present at the piano club's activities?!

Kitagawa Yu felt even more annoyed as he watched Hakamada Sosuke's expression quickly change from sullen and frustrated to joyful and excited.

However, what he didn't know was that Anna Hanami had deliberately dragged Sosuke Hakamada into it as well.

There are two purposes behind this. One is to use the fact that "I made a bento for Sosuke" to declare to Himegami Karen her "ownership" of Hakamada Sosuke.

Another purpose was to make Hakamada Sosuke watch Kitagawa Yu eat the bento made by Himemiya Karen and be affectionate with her, so that Hakamada Sosuke would give up on Himemiya Karen sooner.

However, as the number one "loser," she has really bad luck in this regard.

Her seemingly perfect plan ultimately failed, and she failed to achieve either of her two objectives.

Because she forgot that their piano club still had a temporary president, Yumeko Shikiya.

Although Shikiya Yumeko is a zombie-themed gyaru herself, that doesn't mean she's close to delinquents.

In fact, Shikiya Yumeko, a gyaru (a type of Japanese girl), likes guys who are gentle, considerate, sincere, and dedicated.

Like the male protagonist, Kazuhiko Nukumizu, and Shintaro Tamaki, the head of the literature and art club.

I actually find Hakamada Sosuke, who looks like a delinquent, quite repulsive.

So when the four of them arrived at the piano classroom with their lunch boxes during lunch break, Shikiya Yumeko, who had arrived earlier, used the excuse that "eating is not allowed in the piano classroom" to block Hakamada Sosuke from entering.

As for why Kitagawa Yu and the other two could... well, that's because they're club members and not bound by that rule.

"Then... Grasshopper, shall I go back to the classroom with you to eat?"

When one plan failed, Anzu immediately came up with another. She thought to herself, "This is good too. At least I can have lunch alone with Hakamada Sosuke like before."

However, how could Hakamada Sosuke possibly agree?

If he and Anna Hanami both leave, then wouldn't only Yu Kitagawa and Karen Himemiya be left in the piano classroom?

What if Kitagawa Yu takes the opportunity to do something bad to Himegami Karen?

With those two enormous Devil Fruits of Himegami Karen... even someone with his strong self-control would have been tempted to give in!

so......

"No need! Anzu should stay and participate in club activities! I'll just eat in the classroom by myself!" Hakamada Sosuke said seriously.

Whether he sensed Shikiya Yumeko's hostility and unreliability or not, he no longer regarded this 'zombie-type gal' senior as a human being.

"But--"

Hanami Anna wanted to say something more.

However, Hakamada Sosuke interrupted her before she could finish, saying, "No need to say anything more, you guys go ahead! I'm leaving first!"

After saying that, Hakamada Sosuke suppressed his reluctance, resolutely turned around, and strode towards the stairs.

He even nearly bumped into an 'angel' who was running alone to the club activity building with a lunchbox when he went downstairs because he was walking too fast.

Yes, the angel who is very good at cooking also made her own lunch bento box today.

As for why she came to the club activity building alone for lunch...

Is it wrong for the angel sitting to the right of the roasted salt lemon to think the classroom is too noisy during lunch break?

When passing by the courtyard, Hakamada Sosuke also saw Narumi Seina, who was already recognized by everyone as the 'most beautiful girl in Ishibuki High School' on her first day of school. She was sitting on a bench under a cherry blossom tree on the side closest to the activity building with her friends who had come from the same junior high school, chatting and laughing as they ate their bento boxes.

The pink petals that kept falling and the smiling blonde girl made him stare in a daze.

Even as he reluctantly left, the 'careless' man failed to notice that the piano classroom on the second floor was directly above the bench.

The straight-line distance is less than five meters.

Meanwhile, he remained oblivious to the fact that, just as he and the other boys hiding in the corner of the courtyard were peeking at Narumi Sena, the piano classroom upstairs had just opened its ventilation window, and Yana was also watching him. Big 'f' marks appeared on his forehead, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Even though there weren't that many pretty girls when we were in middle school, but... this Kusuke guy is just too horny!?"

Isn't the character design in Chapter 22 a bit off?

"Is Hanami-kun very hungry?"

"No! I'm so angry I'm practically bursting!"

"?"

On the clean wooden floor in front of the window, Himegami Karen watched as Hanami Anana knelt there, wolfing down her bento box as if she hadn't eaten for three days and three nights. A big question mark popped up above her head.

However, she quickly forgot about Anna's 'strange' reaction, turned to Yu Kitagawa, and asked expectantly, "Yu, is the bento I made delicious?"

"Yeah, it's delicious!"

"Hehe, this is the first time I've made a bento for someone else."

"..."

Kitagawa Yu almost choked on the rice in his mouth.

But there's nothing we can do about it; after all, Himegami Karen is such a simpleton, so straightforward in her words and actions.

Left with no other choice, Kitagawa Yu could only speed up, even faster than Hanami Anana, who had turned her anger into appetite, and finished the entire bento box in less than five minutes.

"I'm full! Okay...you guys continue, I'll play the piano for you, like in a fancy Western restaurant~"

Before he could finish speaking, Kitagawa Yu had already put down his chopsticks and lunchbox, got up and walked to the piano to sit down. Immediately afterward, his demeanor changed.

And perhaps because he was wearing a Western-style school uniform, his demeanor at this moment was different from his relaxed and casual demeanor last night, with a touch more of the seriousness and elegance of a professional pianist.

Not to mention Himegami Karen and Hachimi Anna, who were already full of curiosity and anticipation for his performance, even Shikiya Yumeko, who looked like she was dead, lying there against the wall with her neck wide open, clearly showing that she wasn't wearing a bra, subconsciously turned her neck and eyes, her gaze falling on him.

"Hmm... let's start with something simpler~"

Kitagawa Yu first flexed his fingers, and then his slender fingers began to dance lightly on the black and white piano keys.

This time, he played the same song as last night, "Sunflower".

Although there was only piano accompaniment, the moment the warm melody started playing, everyone, whether it was the three girls, including Hanami Anna, who were hearing the song for the first time in the classroom, or Shiina Mahiru and Narumi Sena, who were 'eavesdropping' outside the classroom, couldn't help but shudder and their eyes lit up involuntarily.

"listen well!"

"What's the name of this piece of music? I want to download it to my phone!"

As soon as she finished playing, Karen Himegami and Anina Hachimi, who had somehow gathered behind Yu Kitagawa, immediately asked him the name of the song.

Especially Anjaya Hanami, who didn't even have time to wipe the oily rice grains and seaweed bits from the corners of her mouth.

"Then you'll be disappointed. I wrote this song myself. Although I've registered the lyrics and music, I haven't found a suitable person to sing it yet, so it hasn't been recorded." Kitagawa Yu said with a smile.

His answer, as expected, stunned Himegami Karen and Hachimi Anna once again, their faces involuntarily showing expressions of surprise.

"Huh? Yu wrote this herself!?"

"Yeah~ Didn't I say I've written quite a few songs~"

"Why can't we find a suitable singer? Can't Yu herself sing it?"

"Hmm, I think this song is more suitable for girls to sing."

"I see. Then, Yu, do you think I can do this?"
