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

"Number 5..."

In an instant, Anna Hanami, who had been a little unhappy, perked up again. Even Yumeko Shikiya, who was a 'zombie type', raised her head and her voice was more energetic than usual.

However, the songs they chose were...

Number 2 is the ending theme of "Teasing Master Takagi-san" called "Spurious Romance", but the song chosen by Hanami Anna is not the love-struck Karen Himemiya.

As for number 4 chosen by Karen Himegami and number 5 chosen by Yumeko Shikiya, they are respectively the execution theme "Giorno's Theme" from "My Aim to Be a Pokémon Master" and "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind".

so......

"What kind of taste is this?!"

"Why didn't anyone choose my favorite song, 'Sunflower,' and my cutest song, 'Want to Be Cute'?"

"Are we really that incompatible with these three guys?"

Kitagawa Yu thought to himself, feeling that with these guys around, their piano club was doomed.

However, as a qualified pianist, the moment he sat down at the piano, he instantly suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and began to gather his emotions.

Then......

"I'm coming!"

On the wooden bench outside the window, Hayasaka Akari listened to the piano music coming from behind her and couldn't help but show a delighted expression.

However, Narumi Sena and Shiina Mahiru, who were standing next to her, both had a look of doubt in their eyes.

"Ah?"

"strangeness?"

"Why isn't Kitagawa-kun (that guy) playing that song anymore?"

Chapter 42 Even Angels Lie

Although all three songs, including "Giorno's Theme," are very good.

However, compared to these three songs, both Narumi Sena and Shiina Mahiru clearly prefer the sunny, warm, and healing "Sunflower".

Most importantly, both of them could guess that Kitagawa Yu herself probably preferred the song "Sunflower".

Otherwise, Kitagawa Yu wouldn't be playing "Sunflower" by himself at home every night.

But since Kitagawa Yu himself really likes "Himawari," why didn't he play it this time?

"Could it be that Himegami-san and Hanami-san don't like this song?"

"But...that can't be right!?"

The two clever women quickly deduced the only logical conclusion, but this conclusion itself made them find it extremely unbelievable.

After all, how could anyone not like such a beautiful and healing song as "Sunflower"?

There's nothing we can do but say that everyone has different tastes in music. Karen Himegami and Anna Hachimi don't seem to like "Himawari" that much, probably because they are both already very cheerful and don't need any healing elements.

"Huh? What's wrong with you two? Although the piano playing is indeed very good, do you two have to be so stunned?"

Hayasaka Akari, who was standing between the two, finally noticed their unusual expressions. She turned her head to look around and then asked with some confusion.

"Hmm... This is the first time I've heard it... I didn't expect it to be played so well... so I was a little surprised." Shiina Mahiru explained calmly after regaining her composure.

After regaining her senses, Narumi Sena simply stuck out her tongue cutely in response, and then continued eating her bento while muttering to herself.

"I never imagined that Shiina-san, who seems as perfect as an angel, would lie, and do so without even flinching..."

......

......

On the other side, in a simple yet cozy room, on a soft and comfortable bed, Tsukimi Eiko, who was still fast asleep, seemed to be summoned by the piano music that seemed to have traveled across time and space, and finally opened her eyes groggily.

Then... after picking up the old flip phone from beside her pillow and glancing at the time, she suddenly gasped and sat bolt upright in bed.

"Oh no! It's noon again!"

As if in disbelief, Tsukimi Eiko closed one eye tightly and squinted the other, glancing timidly at her phone screen.

After confirming that the time shown above was indeed 12:16, I was immediately on the verge of tears.

She had never slept in even for a single day in all those years!

Why do you suddenly like to sleep in every day now?!

However... on the bright side, at least she 'improved' a little today, right?

She didn't get up until 1 p.m. yesterday, so she must have gotten up at least 40 minutes earlier today.

If she continues at this rate of progress... in about another week, she'll be able to get up early to make breakfast for Kitagawa Yu!

"hey-hey......"

For some reason, Tsukimi Eiko suddenly blushed, a silly grin spreading across her face. She rolled around in bed, covered by the blanket, looking like a complete idiot.

......

......

Meanwhile, in the classroom of Class C, Grade 1.

Hakamada Sosuke, who was chatting and eating his bento with other single guys in his class, felt a vibration in his pocket. He first took out his phone to check it, and then a look of surprise involuntarily appeared on his face.

"Huh? Hakamada-kun, what's wrong? Did your girlfriend message you?"

"no--"

Hakamada Sosuke was jolted awake by the sound and instinctively hid his phone under the table.

Then he realized that it wasn't class time and that Himegami Karen wasn't there, which immediately eased his tension.

"Oh...it's a very good friend from junior high school~ He went to a different school when he went to high school, and he just messaged me to ask how he's doing at his new school."

Hakamada Sosuke offered a casual explanation, then subtly sped up his eating, quickly finishing the rest of his bento box. He then excused himself by saying he was thirsty and went to buy a drink, leaving the classroom alone.

"Senior Baihe actually messaged me first! Could it be—"

After leaving the classroom, Hakamada Sosuke subconsciously glanced around to make sure he didn't see a familiar figure before he stopped suppressing his emotions and excitedly took his phone out of his pocket again.

However, after reading the message sent by Shirakawa Tsukiai with high expectations, he couldn't help but show a conflicted expression on his face.

"Hakamada-kun, may I visit the light music club after school this afternoon?"

Shirakawa Yueai took the initiative to message him, wanting to visit the Light Music Club. Logically, he should have been happy.

After all, this means that Shirakawa Tsukiai is very interested in the Light Music Club.

The problem is, his light music club hasn't even been established yet! There's not even an activity room, so there's nothing for Shirakawa Yue to visit!

We can't just let him grab any guitar and let Baihe Yueai 'visit' it, can we?

Even so... he doesn't have a guitar!

"What should I do? Should I tell Shirakawa-senpai that the light music club is still being formed, or...?"

Actually, if it were someone like Kitagawa Yu, who can play guitar and piano and writes his own songs, who were to form the light music club, then it wouldn't matter if we just told Shirakawa Tsuki Ai that the light music club was still in the process of being formed.

After all, it sounds very reliable for someone as talented as Kitagawa Yu to form a light music club.

But what if it were someone like him, who can neither play an instrument nor write songs, and whose singing is just that of a typical 'new band enthusiast,' who were to form the light music club?

Even he himself would think it sounds incredibly unreliable!

"What if Shirakawa-senpai doesn't join the light music club because of this..."

Hakamada Sosuke unconsciously gripped his phone tighter, his mind becoming increasingly conflicted, to the point that he forgot that when he first invited Shirakawa Tsukie, it was merely out of a sense of luck and to make up the numbers.

However, after struggling with the decision for a long time, he finally chose to confess.

After all, he only looks like a delinquent; he's not actually a delinquent. Aside from being a bit lewd and having a peculiar fondness for large breasts, he's essentially quite gentle, kind, and honest.

"Oh, right?"

"Scream!"

"Our light music club isn't actually fully formed yet."

"Because the Ministry of Construction requires at least four people, we are still one person short."

Chapter 43 Time Management That Cannot Fail?

Despite his honesty, Hakamada Sosuke played a little trick when he confessed, in order to avoid scaring away Shirakawa Tsukiai. He deliberately obscured the fact that he didn't know how to play any musical instruments or write songs.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the phone, Shirakawa Tsukiai, who was sitting alone in the corner of the classroom eating her lunch, did not ask any further questions after reading his message, just as he had expected.

Because of her familiarity with the band, she even automatically imagined that Hakamada Sosuke and his two companions would be a guitarist, a bassist, and a drummer, which perfectly matched the personnel configuration of a three-person band.

However, since forming a new club requires at least four people, Hakamada Sosuke invited her, a complete novice who knew nothing, to join the Light Music Club just to make up the numbers.

Ironically, the reason she was 'interested' in the light music club was simply because she wanted to make new friends who wouldn't mind her, and ideally, find a boyfriend who genuinely liked her.

Because she usually dresses fashionably, and in the past year, she changed boyfriends on average less than once a month.

Unsurprisingly, rumors about her at school spread like wildfire, calling her a "public bus" and a "sex worker," and her reputation was already ruined. No decent people wanted to get close to her or be her friend anymore.

Even though she had explained very seriously that her boyfriends always got tired of her and dumped her, no one believed her.

People are only willing to believe the 'truth' they want to believe.

So, she is actually very innocent at heart and longs to find true love. After receiving Hakamada Sosuke's invitation yesterday afternoon, she was already somewhat tempted.

Upon learning that the Light Music Club was a newly formed club, she couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, no one in the new club should have heard those rumors about her, right?

Thinking of this, she quickly replied to Hakamada Sosuke's message:

"I see"

"If Hakamada-kun doesn't mind that I can't play any musical instruments, then let me help you form a light music club!"

On the other end of the phone, Hakamada Sosuke, who had been feeling anxious and nervous after sending the message, was stunned when he saw Shirakawa Tsukiai's reply. His pupils contracted, his heart raced, and he was so excited that he almost wanted to pound his chest and roar like a gorilla in the zoo.

"I don't mind! I don't mind at all!"
