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

"Bye-Bye!"

After finishing her oden, Kitagawa Yu bought a can of coffee from a vending machine on the roadside, intending to take it to her arts class. Then she waved goodbye to Himegami Karen and the other two, and went to the train station alone.

Just like yesterday, the empty platform was already occupied by Narumi Seina, who knew which train he would be taking.

Golden strands of hair fluttering in the breeze shimmered in the sunlight, blending seamlessly with her delicate, slightly frail figure into the surrounding background, resembling a beautiful painting by Makoto Shinkai. Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but momentarily lose himself in the moment when his gaze swept over her.

Then there's Himegami Karen, who, after Kitagawa Yu left, acted as if she were avoiding a plague, ignoring Hakamada Sosuke, and only waving goodbye to Hanami Anna before going home alone.

This made Anzu Hanami smile broadly as she watched her turn and leave. She secretly glanced at Hakamada Sosuke's sullen face, and her mood became even more cheerful.

"I'm sure I can go home with Kusuke today like before, right?"

As Anzu thought to herself with delight, she didn't even have to wait until the intersection like she did yesterday. The next second, the smile on her face froze instantly, and her eyes widened in surprise.

"Then I'll be going now!"

"what?"

"I just remembered that I left something at school and need to go back to get it," Hakamada Sosuke said without batting an eye, giving an excuse he had already prepared.

Although he himself did not know why he was keeping it from Hanami Anna.

But I did it subconsciously.

"Then I'll go back with you?" Banai quickly said to Anzu.

"No need, you should go home first."

Hakamada Sosuke waved his hand impatiently, and before he could finish speaking, he turned and ran towards the school.

This left Anna Hanami, who was left standing there, stunned and unable to recover for a long time.

"why?"

Has she already gotten so impatient with Hakamada Sosuke?!

They were such close childhood friends when they were in junior high school, how could they have changed so much as soon as they entered high school?

Most importantly, Himegami Karen clearly doesn't like Hakamada Sosuke, and she just left alone.

So... Hakamada Sosuke's impatience with her can't really be blamed on Himegami Karen!

"Ughhhh—this is so annoying—"

Hanami Anzu couldn't help but stomp her foot in frustration, the good mood brought by the delicious oden vanishing in an instant.

Although she is very emotional and may get angry, sad, or cry when she is in a bad mood, she will not easily lose heart or become despondent!

After all, that was a twelve-year-long unrequited love!

"I want to see what important thing Kusuke left behind that made him rush off to go back to school alone, leaving me behind!"

After saying that, she immediately gripped the shoulder strap of her schoolbag and quickly chased after Hakamada Sosuke.

Then, after catching her breath from running too fast, she tiptoed to the classroom door and cautiously peeked inside... she was completely dumbfounded!

Inside the empty classroom, Hakamada Sosuke was chatting and laughing with a girl he didn't know, seemingly engrossed in something.

Especially the expression on Hakamada Sosuke's face; just one glance from him made her involuntarily think of words like lewd, obscene, vulgar, and sycophantic.

More importantly, that girl was exceptionally beautiful!

Not only is her Devil Fruit level no less than Himemiya Karen's, but her looks are even slightly better. Even if she can't compare to Narumi Sena, the recognized school beauty, she's on par with Shiina Mahiru, the second most beautiful girl in their class.

In addition, her fashion sense is very good, and at least from an appearance perspective, she is more charming than Himegami Karen.

so......

"Kusuke was so impatient to leave me alone, all so he could secretly go on a date with such a beautiful woman behind my back!?"

Chapter 49 Date?

At this moment, Banami saw Anzu clench her teeth and her fists harden!

the most important is......

"When did she and Kusuke meet? How come I had no idea!?"

As Anna stared blankly at Hakamada Sosuke in the classroom, she suddenly felt that her childhood friend, whom she had known for more than ten years, had become somewhat unfamiliar.

She hadn't seen that happy, radiant smile on Hakamada Sosuke's face for many years.

As far as I can remember, the last time I saw them smile like that was when they were five or six years old, or even earlier.

Moreover, although she didn't want to, she had to admit that Hakamada Sosuke and Shirakawa Tsukiai looked quite well-matched standing together.

The two people, one a dark-skinned delinquent high school student and the other a blonde, fierce, fashionable hottie, looked like a couple.

This only made her feel even worse.

Furthermore, she finally understood why Hakamada Sosuke wasn't angry when she said at noon that Himegami Karen could never be interested in Hakamada Sosuke—it turned out he had already fallen for another girl!

Honestly, at this moment, Anna was really angry and frustrated, and her little pearls were about to fall off.

However, she immediately took a deep breath and cheered herself up, because her intuition told her that Hakamada Sosuke probably still liked Himegami Karen, so Shirakawa Tsukiai in front of her was probably just a 'backup plan'.

This can be seen from the fact that Hakamada Sosuke still wants to form a light music club, and that he went to eat oden with them right after school.

Although she despised and condemned Hakamada Sosuke's practice of "finding a backup plan" and "playing both sides," at least this way she still had a chance, right?

After all, he was her childhood sweetheart whom she had secretly loved for so many years. Even if he was a bit of a scoundrel, she really couldn't give him up easily!

"However, with Kitagawa helping Himegami defend, how will we defend against this gal?"

Hanami Anzu racked her brains over this problem, her brows furrowing like two fighting caterpillars.

Meanwhile, in the classroom, Hakamada Sosuke was completely unaware of the complex gazes coming from not far behind him. After Shirakawa Tsukiai signed her name, he felt a mix of joy and inexplicable excitement.

Looking at Shirakawa Tsuki's sweet and delicate face, and her breasts that were in no way inferior to Himegami Karen's, but the third button on her collar was undone, faintly revealing a hint of pink Devil Fruit, a sudden impulse arose in his heart.

"Senior Baihe, how about I treat you to a meal?"

"Huh? You're inviting me to dinner?"

Shirakawa Tsukiai paused for a moment, her blue eyes, slightly lighter than those of Hachimi Anna, held a hint of innocent bewilderment as she looked up at Hakamada Sosuke.

Their eyes met, and Hakamada Sosuke's face instantly flushed. He subconsciously scratched his head, and a visible blush appeared on his dark cheeks.

"Oh... oh... consider it a way to thank Shirakawa-senpai... after all, without Shirakawa-senpai's help, our light music club wouldn't have been able to be formed so quickly."

Hakamada Sosuke's overheated brain worked frantically for a long time before he came up with such a lame excuse.

Before Shirakawa Tsukiai could speak, he added, "Also, let's consider it a celebration for senpai joining the light music club~"

After listening, Shirakawa Tsukiai did not refuse, and tilted her head to ask, "Since it's a celebration, should we invite the other people in the department?"

Hiding outside the classroom to eavesdrop on Anna, she unconsciously held her breath, her eyes fixed on Hakamada Sosuke, waiting for his response.

"You mean Kitagawa-kun and An...Hanami? No need for that. Kitagawa-kun goes to a music composition school every afternoon, and Hanami has already gone home. I'll arrange a time for them to come together next time."

Hakamada Sosuke reacted quickly this time, and his speech was much more fluent than before, without any hesitation or pause.

Not far behind him, the sensitive Anna Hanami immediately noticed the change in how Hakamada Sosuke addressed her. This caused her a pang of pain, and the once refreshing air suddenly became bone-chillingly cold, making it difficult to breathe.

"Kusuke's overheated behavior is probably because he has feelings for this Shirakawa-senpai, otherwise he wouldn't have started calling me 'Hanami,' and he wouldn't have stopped inviting me to meals. I would definitely have come out if he had just given me a call..."

Hanami Anzu muttered to herself.

Meanwhile, the naive Shirakawa Tsukiai completely believed Hakamada Sosuke's explanation.

"What?! That Kitagawa-kun actually went to a specialized school to study music composition? That's amazing!"

"Um...yes...he can also play the piano and guitar...he's really amazing."

When Shirakawa Tsuki also praised Kitagawa Yu, Hakamada Sosuke's lips twitched involuntarily. He felt a tightness in his chest, and a row of black lines appeared on his forehead.

However, he was, after all, an 'honest and kind good boy,' and since Kitagawa Yu liked Hanami Anna and didn't even like Himemiya Karen, it was even less likely that he would like Shirakawa Tsuki, who looked like a gyaru in front of him. So after hesitating for a while, he reluctantly agreed.

"Where should we go to celebrate?" Shirakawa Tsukiai then asked.

Fortunately, although she praised Kitagawa Yu and became somewhat curious about 'such an amazing Kitagawa Yu,' she still accepted Hakamada Sosuke's invitation to a 'celebration.' This instantly dispelled Hakamada Sosuke's frustration, and he couldn't help but show an excited expression on his face.

"How about going to Yoshinoya in 2-chome?" Hakamada Sosuke instinctively wanted to say.

Because Yoshinoya in 2-chome was already familiar to him, and it was the best restaurant in the area in terms of ambiance.

The other restaurants he was familiar with were mostly family-run eateries; the environment wasn't bad, but it wasn't particularly great either.

However, he suddenly remembered the 'strategy' Kitagawa Yu had devised when he asked Kitagawa Yu for an autograph that afternoon, and subconsciously changed his mind, saying, "How about AALLYA in Shinjuku? Not only is their steak amazing, but their desserts after the main course are also super delicious."

"But wouldn't that be too expensive?" Baihe Yueai asked with some concern.

It's a Western restaurant in Shinjuku, so you can tell it's not cheap.

“Using adhesive tape isn’t that expensive for me~” Hakamada Sosuke said with a relaxed smile.

Although he had never been to that Western restaurant and didn't know the exact prices of the dishes, even if the restaurant was really expensive, he certainly couldn't show any weakness at this moment.

"OK then."

Bai Heyue smiled sweetly and didn't insist any further.

In some ways, she does resemble Hakamada Sosuke.

Although she appears to be a strong, assertive, and fashionable hot girl, she is actually more innocent and obedient than the average girl, even to the point of being overly obedient. She rarely refuses a boy's request.

Even those demands that are a bit excessive.

However, Hakamada Sosuke was clearly unaware of these things at this time.

After seeing that she agreed, Hakamada Sosuke first breathed a sigh of relief, then couldn't help but clench his fist, looking forward to the upcoming 'celebration' even more.

After all, aside from Anna Hachimi, this was the first time in his life that he had ever asked a girl out to eat alone!

Moreover, she's a beautiful girl like Shirakawa Tsuki, who perfectly matches his aesthetic!

"Then let's go!"

Out of the corner of his eye, Hakamada Sosuke glanced at the two high-level Devil Fruits in front of Shirakawa Tsukie's eyes, and subconsciously swallowed, his heartbeat and breathing becoming increasingly agitated.

Meanwhile, Hanami Anana, who hurriedly dodged, was so angry that she almost ground her teeth to powder.

You know, aside from some snacks and popsicles, Hakamada Sosuke, her childhood friend, has never even offered her oden (Japanese hot pot) since they were little!
