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

Out of politeness, Bana saw Anna reluctantly greet Kitagawa and Yu, but her voice was as flat as a straight line, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, which sounded very strange.

"Huh? Is she... feeling unwell?" Himegami Karen was slightly taken aback, a hint of doubt creeping into her mind.

At the same time, Hakamada Sosuke was also stunned for a moment before finally realizing that Yanami Anna seemed to be in a bad mood.

However, he didn't care what was wrong with Anna Hanami. He just felt that Anna Hanami's reaction was too rude, making him feel embarrassed and ashamed in front of Karen Himegami.

"Eh... Anzu... she's probably just too nervous on the first day, haha!"

Hakamada Sosuke chuckled awkwardly and scratched his head, trying to find an excuse for Hanami Anna, then quickly and abruptly changed the subject, saying, "By the way, what clubs are you planning to join?"

Of course, he himself was very concerned about this issue.

After all, the relationships between members of the same club are actually closer than those with classmates.

Furthermore, joining the same club would allow them to spend more time together, so he had secretly decided that no matter which club Karen Himegami wanted to join, he would join the same club.

"I don't even know what clubs are in school, so I haven't thought about that." The naive Himegami Karen temporarily forgot about Yanami Anna's strange behavior and tilted her head curiously to Kitagawa Yu: "Where's Yu?"

"Yu!?" Hakamada Sosuke's heart tightened when he heard Himegami Karen use such an intimate term of address.

Unfortunately, apart from the angry Anna Hanami, even Yu Kitagawa didn't notice his unusual expression.

"There are a lot of club recruitment notices posted on the bulletin board on the first floor of the teaching building, but I didn't look at them very carefully. Anyway, Shilu High School does not require everyone to join a club, so there is no need to rush."

As Kitagawa Yu spoke, his gaze drifted toward the entrance of the stadium.

At that moment, Kazuhiko Nukumizu, who was slightly socially awkward, also walked in right on time, and he also had a cute younger sister, Yoshiki Nukumizu, whom Yu Kitagawa was very willing to befriend.

However, what Kitagawa Yu was looking at was not him, but another surprise about him coming to Tokyo to study.

Even more surprising than the fact that this world incorporates elements of "My Heroine," and that Karen Himegami doesn't suddenly transfer schools in May but instead enrolls at Ishizuki High School from the start.

because......

"The angel next door has become my neighbor? So I preemptively rented the apartment that originally belonged to Fujimiya Shuu? It's true what they say, you don't know how 'big' the world is until you leave Izu~"

Kitagawa Yu looked at the sweet, angelic girl with long flaxen hair and caramel-colored eyes, and his heart couldn't help but surge with emotion.

Especially when he saw Shiina Mahiru pause for a moment and then walk towards Class C, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.

As a result, he completely overlooked Shiina Mahiru, who was standing not far behind him, and Ayano Mitsuki.

However, perhaps because she had just enrolled and hadn't yet revealed her angelic qualities, Shiina Mahiru wasn't the most dazzling one in the gymnasium at that moment.

Her eyes were a clear blue like the sky, her hair was soft and shiny with golden twin tails, and her skin was as smooth and delicate as the finest white porcelain.

Her slender and tall figure, resembling that of a model, made her two Devil Fruits, which were originally only barely C-rank, appear even larger.

The same JK uniform looks incredibly stylish on her; it's so fashionable it could be featured on a magazine cover.

Her delicate and sweet features made even angels pale in comparison.

It's no exaggeration to say that the moment Kitagawa Yu, whose name was unknown but who was clearly not from the drama "My Heroine," walked into the gymnasium with her friends, all the eyes that were originally following Shiina Mahiru shifted to her.

Even Hakamada Sosuke, who had just met his 'true love' and fallen in love with Himegami Karen at first sight, followed Kitagawa Yu's gaze and was stunned.

This undoubtedly infuriated Anna Hanami, who was standing next to him, to the point that her forehead was practically bulging out with anger.

"Stop looking, your eyes are going to pop out! Kusuke is getting more and more lewd!" Bana said, half-deliberately teasing Anzu.

Perhaps because of their childhood friendship, or perhaps because Himegami Karen was right there, her sarcastic remark was incredibly powerful.

"Huh? I... I'm not feeling anything, I just... I just..."

When Hakamada Sosuke came to his senses, he didn't know if it was from anxiety, anger, or shyness and embarrassment, but his dark cheeks turned red.

Most importantly, no matter how he explained, it was useless; the facts were right in front of him.

With his childhood friend's 'real-name verification' and his face that clearly didn't look like a good person, in Himegami Karen's eyes, his appearance just now looked exactly like a lewd delinquent eyeing a beautiful girl.

In contrast, Kitagawa Yu's reaction was much better.

Although his gaze remained fixed on the girl with pigtails, his eyes held more admiration, amazement, curiosity, and contemplation.

He doesn't look lecherous at all like Hakamada Sosuke.

"Thank goodness Yu isn't like that..."

Himegami Karen muttered to herself, watching as Hakamada Sosuke's hands unconsciously began to move in his haste to explain. She even subconsciously took a small step back, reaching out to grab Kitagawa Yu's sleeve and hiding half of her body behind him.

This made Hakamada Sosuke, who witnessed the whole thing, feel as if he had been punched in the chest, and he found it difficult to breathe.

Chapter 5 The True Face of the Emoji Girl

"Yes! I admit, I was just attracted by that girl's sweet and beautiful appearance, and I was a little stunned, but that shouldn't be considered inappropriate, right? After all, everyone else reacted the same way I did!"

Hakamada Sosuke thought anxiously, but he obviously couldn't bring himself to say these words.

At this moment, still angry, Banai saw Anna snort and continued to complain with a look of disdain: "Besides, even if you like her, it's useless. She's a big star, there's no way she'd be interested in you~"

"Huh? A big star?"

Kitagawa Yu and Himegami Karen, who were standing to the side, were both taken aback, and curious expressions appeared on their faces.

While Hakamada Sosuke was still anxiously pondering how to salvage his positive image in Himegami Karen's heart, he couldn't help but look at Yanami Anna with curiosity upon hearing this.

"Don't you know?" Banami asked, looking surprised.

"She's only been in the industry for less than a year, yet she's already graced the covers of every fashion magazine and is now the No.1 cover model, Narumi Seina!"

"By the way, I heard she's planning to enter the idol industry soon. She'll probably become a super popular idol very quickly, so her agency definitely won't allow her to date~"

Kitagawa Yu frowned slightly after hearing this, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. He felt that he had heard the name Narumi Seina somewhere in his previous life, but he couldn't quite remember where.

However, his attention was soon drawn to the adorable bear-like pose of Anna Hachimi, and he temporarily forgot about Sena Narumi.

At the same time, Anna Hanami glanced sideways at Sosuke Hakamada. After noticing the look of disappointment that unconsciously appeared on Sosuke Hakamada's face, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. While feeling somewhat angry and dissatisfied, she also felt a sense of satisfaction, as if she had gotten her revenge.

"See? See? This guy's a lecherous wolf who falls for every girl he sees! Only I, his childhood friend, would like him. This cowgirl, feel free to despise and hate him all you want~~~~~~"

Anzu couldn't help but reveal a sly smile, as if she had succeeded in her scheme. While muttering to herself, she turned her head expectantly, wanting to see how Karen Himegami would react.

But... he was the first to meet Kitagawa Yu's gaze.

"Huh? Why is he looking at me like that?"

"and many more--"

"Could it be that he figured out my little scheme?"

Noticing Kitagawa Yu's slightly upturned lips, Anna's smile froze for a moment. Then, as if caught cheating on a test by the teacher, she quickly lowered her head guiltily, avoiding Kitagawa Yu's gaze, while her heart began to pound wildly.

"How could I be so unlucky?!"

When her 'true self', which she had been hiding behind her sunny and cheerful image, was accidentally discovered by a classmate she had just met, Anna Hanami, who was very concerned about her image in Hakamada Sosuke's eyes, suddenly became anxious.

Although she's jealous and secretly a bit cunning, sharp-tongued, and petty, she doesn't want anyone to find out!

In particular, Hakamada Sosuke is now planning to "be friends" with Kitagawa Yu. As a result, will Hakamada Sosuke find out her "true face" hidden behind the sunny girl facade one day?

"How to do how to do!"

"Should I pretend everything is normal...and deny it to the death? Or should I be more assertive and threaten him not to tell anyone?"

"Hey! Come here for a second! You're not allowed to tell anyone what you just saw, understand? Otherwise... otherwise I'll tell everyone you bullied me... But if I do that, won't I become a bad girl?"

"No, no! I'm not a bad girl!"

"Ugh! So annoying~~~~~"

"Does this guy have to be this smart?!"

"Wait! No! Maybe I'm overthinking it?"

Thinking of this, Banami Anna took a deep breath, raised her head again, and cautiously looked at Kitagawa Yu.

Then......

Seeing Kitagawa Yu's ambiguous smile and the increasingly bright smile on his lips, Banami Anna couldn't help but cover her mouth, letting out a whimper of grief. She deflated like a punctured balloon, her head drooping again.

"Ugh~ Looks like I'll just have to deny it to the death... But this guy seems pretty serious, so he probably won't be so bored as to reveal my true identity to Kusuke, right?"

With her mind in turmoil and not knowing what to do, Anzu could only silently pray.

Meanwhile, Shirahamazaka High School is located on the Izu coast.

Because they were afraid of having their windows smashed by flying basketballs or volleyballs, they deliberately placed the windows near the roof, so they couldn't see the sea directly like in the gymnasium where classrooms do.

After briefly estimating the number of new students enrolled this year, Miyamoto Natsumi couldn't help but mutter a prayer of worry.

"Oh my god! The number of new students at our school this year is so small! I feel like there aren't even 80 people. Can we really form a light music club?"

“Of course!” Okita Sawa said subconsciously, her fair fingers clenched into fists as if she were about to swing them at the hateful face that appeared before her. This made Sakai Kazuna, who looked rather cold on the other side, unable to help but turn her head slightly to look over.

"But what if we can't gather enough members who can play instruments? Although the minimum requirement for forming a new club is only four members, if we can't get a drummer, bassist, guitarist, and keyboardist, we can't form a band or carry out club activities. In that case, the student council definitely won't approve our formation of the Light Music Club."

As Miyamoto Natsumi spoke, her gaze swept across the other freshmen in the gymnasium, as if she were trying to find someone in the crowd who could play a musical instrument.

Now, because of someone's departure, Okita Sawa, who was already unhappy, became even more unhappy.

"I can play the piano and be the keyboardist. The drums look pretty simple, so I can learn a little and be the drummer. Then I'll learn the bass or guitar... Anyway, it doesn't need to be that advanced. Right now, I just need to get the light music club together." Okita Sawa thought for a moment and said.

However, before she could finish speaking, Miyamoto Natsumi shook her head vigorously and said, "I don't want to be a drummer, I want to be the lead singer!"

"..."

Sawa Okita was speechless.

She didn't mind that Miyamoto Natsu wanted to be the lead singer, but the problem was, with his stupid IQ, could he learn guitar or bass in a short time?

"If we can't find anyone, then we shouldn't form a light music club at all," Sakai Kazuna said expressionlessly, pouring cold water on the idea.

"Yes!"

Miyamoto Natsumi, upon hearing this, also realized what was happening, looked away, clapped her hands, and said, "Anyway, Yu is already gone, so there's no need for us to fulfill our promise to form a light music club... How about we join the vocal music club together?"

Miyamoto Natsumi became more and more excited as she spoke, and after finishing, she looked expectantly at Okita Sawa and Sakai Kazuna.

However, Sakai Kazuna refused without hesitation, saying, "I have no interest in singing, so I'll join the piano club instead."

As Sakai spoke, she gave Okita Sawa a deep look, a complex light flashing in her eyes.

Unlike Okita Sawa and Miyamoto Honatsu, who are both slow-witted and oblivious, Kitagawa Yu, who is naturally sensitive, had already realized the real reason for Kitagawa Yu's departure when Kitagawa Yu accompanied and comforted her after her mother passed away some time ago.

Although she attended the same schools as Miyamoto Motoka and Okita Sawa from elementary school through junior high and now high school, she was actually able to become friends with them because her mother was Kitagawa Yu's piano teacher.
