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

Himegami Karen walked sideways, her hands folded behind her back, happily sharing with Kitagawa Yu the fun stories of her family's trip to Izu last summer.

Her long pink hair swayed gently in the slightly cool April breeze, and the two heavy Devil Fruits seemed to shake the ground with her movements, attracting countless stares along the way.

This naturally includes the main female protagonist of "My Heroine," who believes that girls are only divided into two types: 'childhood sweetheart' and 'cheating cat'. Sunny foodie... no, she should be called the meme girl—Hana Mi Anna.

And Hakamada Sosuke, who is Hanami Anna's childhood friend, but who 'dumped' Hanami Anna without hesitation after meeting Himegami Karen.

......

......

"Kusuke, what's wrong?"

"Ah! No, it's nothing!"

Not far behind Himegami Karen and Kitagawa Yu, Hakamada Sosuke, with his tanned skin and somewhat roguish charm, suddenly snapped out of his reverie and waved his hands in a flustered manner.

However, his attempt to cover it up was completely ineffective, because his childhood friend, Anna Hachimi, knew him all too well.

In fact, the moment he opened his mouth, Anna Hachimi had already followed his completely undisguised gaze and looked over, and then...

"Ew~~~ Kusuke, you're such a pervert! She already has a boyfriend, and you're still staring at her like that. That's so creepy!"

Looking at Himegami Karen's tall, full-figured body, Banami Anna first subconsciously frowned slightly, then deliberately showed a disgusted and contemptuous expression, and began to criticize her without any politeness.

"No, that's not how it is!"

Hakamada Sosuke, who appears to be a hoodlum or delinquent on the surface but is actually a sunny and cheerful young man, blushed with embarrassment upon hearing this.

Although he was initially drawn to a splash of pink fluttering in the wind, then noticed Himegami Karen, and was subsequently captivated by her beautiful face, cheerful smile, and excessively full figure.

but......

"I just saw that girl came alone, so she probably... just met that guy, right?" Hakamada Sosuke stammered for a while before saying in a low voice, somewhat uncertainly.

Although Anzu's expression remained unchanged, she was even more displeased inside.

"Even if she doesn't have a boyfriend, does that give you the right to stare at her like that?"

Most importantly, even though they haven't officially started dating yet, it's really too much for him to stare at another girl like that in front of his childhood friend.

"..."

Hakamada Sosuke scratched his head awkwardly, unsure whether his expression was really as lewd as Anna Hachimi described, and for a moment he didn't know how to defend himself.

On the other side, while Anzu was annoyed and angry, she also felt a little worried.

After all, having known Hakamada Sosuke for so many years, she had never seen him stare at a girl with such a lecherous look.

"Could it be... that Kusuke has fallen in love with that cowgirl at first sight?"

"No! That can't be!"

"That cowgirl is only slightly better looking than me, that's all. Kusuke wouldn't fall in love with her at first sight!"

Hanami Anzu kept muttering to herself.

Although she didn't believe that Hakamada Sosuke, who had grown up with her since childhood, would fall in love with Himegami Karen so hastily at first sight.

But on the way to the stadium, she unconsciously slowed down.

That lingering unease in my heart could never be erased.

Chapter 3: There's a difference between cuteness.

"We've arrived. It seems we didn't go to the wrong place."

Wow, there are so many people!

As she walked into the gymnasium with the sign that read "Celebrating the Enrollment Ceremony," and saw the densely packed freshmen already gathered in front of the podium, waiting for the ceremony to begin, Karen Himegami couldn't help but stop and exclaim softly in surprise.

In contrast, Kitagawa Yu, who comes from a 'small rural town' like Izu, where the number of students in each grade from elementary to middle school does not exceed 100, seems much calmer.

"This is only about two-thirds of the way through. There should still be seventy or eighty people who haven't arrived yet," Kitagawa Yu said casually. At the same time, his gaze swept across the crowd ahead, and taking advantage of his 1.8-meter height, he quickly found the sign for Class C of the first year.

"How did you know?" Himegami Karen asked curiously.

"The class assignment list for new students on the bulletin board doesn't have any numbering, but I counted roughly. There are 36 in each column, and 9 columns in total, so there should be 324 new students," Kitagawa Yu explained as he led her towards Class C.

"Wow! You're amazing! I didn't even notice any of that!" Himegami Karen exclaimed again, then tilted her head and looked at him with great curiosity.

"Could Yu be a top student?"

Whether it was because there were too many people in the stadium and she was afraid of bumping into someone, or for some other reason, Himegami Karen subconsciously moved closer to Kitagawa Yu as she spoke, until their arms were almost touching.

"Yu?"

When Kitagawa Yu heard this affectionate address, he was slightly taken aback. He turned to look at Himegami Karen and noticed the excitement and admiration in her eyes. He was both amused and exasperated.

"I'm not some academic genius, I just did a quick calculation out of boredom. My grades are just average," Kitagawa Yu shrugged and explained frankly.

Surprisingly, Karen Himegami did not show any disappointment on her face. Instead, she patted her two large Devil Fruits and exaggeratedly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness, otherwise I would definitely feel a lot of pressure being friends with a top student!"

Kitagawa Yu was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then couldn't help but chuckle, his impression of Himegami Karen changing considerably.

"As expected of the 'snake who stole fish' who was able to defeat Lao Ba, she is indeed a very cute girl."

Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but think to himself, but if he had to choose, he would definitely prefer the eighth brother.

"See? See? I told you those two were definitely a couple. Look how happy that girl is smiling in front of that handsome guy. If they had just met, would she be smiling so happily and sweetly?"

At the entrance of the stadium not far away, Anna Hanami watched Karen Himegami and Yu Kitagawa chatting and laughing intimately. She nudged Sosuke Hakamada next to her with her elbow and whispered.

After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that she seemed to be a little too nervous, so nervous that she felt a little embarrassed and guilty.

However, when she secretly glanced at Hakamada Sosuke out of the corner of her eye, wanting to see how he would react... she saw that Hakamada Sosuke was still staring blankly at Himegami Karen with a 'lewd and obscene' look.

This made her immediately forget her previous guilt and embarrassment, and she became furious.

"If you really have feelings for that girl, go and say hello! Judging from where they're standing, they've probably been assigned to Class C like us," said Yanagi, clenching her little fists in a huff.

As it turned out... the expected denial and explanation did not occur. Instead of being 'worried', Hakamada Sosuke's spirits lifted after hearing the explanation, and his eyes lit up.

"Huh? Yeah! They...are also in Class C, let's go up and say hello!"

"???"

Poor Bana was stunned when she saw Anzu; her eyes widened noticeably.

Does this mean he shot himself in the foot?

Unfortunately, even if she wanted to stop it, it was useless; she didn't even have the chance to complain again.

Before she could say anything, Hakamada Sosuke had already left her behind and strode towards Himegami Karen.

"Hey! Even though we haven't confessed yet and officially started dating, isn't it a bit too much for you to go around flirting with other girls right in front of your childhood friend?!" Seeing Anja muttering to herself in displeasure, Bana couldn't help but harden her fists.

But she couldn't just stand there alone at the stadium entrance, could she? So...

"Wait for me, you idiot!"

Seeing that Anzu was catching up with him, Bana quickly ran a few steps and then, with a bewildered look on Hakamada Sosuke's face, 'viciously' punched him on the back.

However, for Hakamada Sosuke, it's more important right now to confirm with Himemiya Karen what kind of relationship Himemiya Karen and Kitagawa Yu are.

"Hello, I'm Hakamada Sosuke. I went to Suimei Junior High School. Are you also in Class C? Which junior high school did you go to?"

Perhaps out of guilt, Hakamada Sosuke kept his eyes fixed on Kitagawa Yu the whole time, deliberately avoiding Himegami Karen.

However, his appearance only made things more obvious to Anzu Hachimi, who was standing next to him. Especially his eagerness to ask which middle school she attended right away made Anzu Hachimi's lips twitch, and she couldn't help but feel an urge to cover her face.

On the other side, someone suddenly ran over to say hello, and it was a handsome dark-skinned guy who looked like a delinquent, which made Kitagawa Yu slightly startled.

But then he saw behind the boy a girl with shoulder-length, sea-blue hair, delicate features, and an aura of energy and cuteness, though her face seemed a little sour at the moment.

"My dear Eighth Brother!"

Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but smile knowingly, and all sorts of memes of Yanami Anna instantly flashed through his mind.

Although he knew when he met Himegami Karen that he would soon be able to see Hanami Anna.

But when that sunny, cute, and gluttonous girl from his past life actually appeared before him, his originally calm heart was unconsciously stirred, and even his breathing became disordered.

To be fair, although Anna Hagami is a little shorter than Karen Himemiya, and her Devil Fruit is two sizes smaller, Anna Hagami's looks are actually not much less attractive than Karen Himemiya's.

At least, compared to the tall, full-figured Hyunami Karen, Kitagawa Yu prefers the petite and slender Hyunami Anna, who exudes a youthful charm.

In terms of personality, he also prefers the slightly cunning and quirky type like Anna Hachimi, rather than the goofy personality of Karen Himegami, who often lacks a sense of boundaries.

so......

"Hello, my name is Kitagawa Yu, and I come from Atami Junior High School in Izu." Kitagawa Yu took a deep breath silently, forcibly suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and introduced himself with a smile.

"Eh? You're from Izu!?" Hakamada Sosuke was stunned when he heard that Kitagawa Yu was from Izu. Then, his face broke into a look of surprise and he turned to look at Himegami Karen.

"So...is this student also from Izu?" Hakamada Sosuke's voice trembled slightly with nervousness as he asked this question.

Seeing this, Anzu Hanami couldn't help but feel embarrassed for him, and at the same time, a strong sense of unease rose in her heart.

On the other side, Kitagawa Yu also temporarily withdrew his gaze from Yanami Anna and looked back at Hakamada Sosuke, a half-smile flashing in his eyes.

"It seems that Hakamada Sosuke has fallen for Himemiya Karen after all. In that case... it's not too much to ask for the eighth prince to be mine, is it?" Kitagawa Yu thought to himself.

Chapter 4 The Angel Next Door and the Unknown Twin-Tailed Girl

"No, I am Himegami Karen from Taoyuan Junior High School."

Perhaps because she was rather oblivious, Himegami Karen didn't seem to notice the unusual expression on Hakamada Sosuke's face.

Upon hearing her reply, Hakamada Sosuke let out a long sigh of relief, his heart began to pound, and a bright, excited smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Kitagawa Yu and Himegami Karen did not attend the same junior high school, so it's obvious they just met!

"Oh right, this is Anna Hanami. She comes from the same junior high school as me."

Overwhelmed with excitement, Hakamada Sosuke was momentarily at a loss for words. Then, he remembered Anna Hachimi standing nearby and took the initiative to introduce her.

However, this did not make Anna Hanami happy; instead, it made her even more annoyed.

You only remembered her now? Why didn't you think of her sooner!

"Nice to meet you, I'm Anana Hachimi, please take care of me."
