Chapter 50 Bad idea
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!!!"
"How could Kusuke do this?!"
"He actually took that girl he'd only known for a short time to such an expensive Western restaurant!"
"That guy is just a little prettier than me, and a little fiercer...so what!"
"I've known him for so long, and he's never once invited me out!!!"
At the back door of the classroom next door, Anna Hanami poked half her head out again, watching Hakamada Sosuke and Shirakawa Tsukiai's figures gradually disappear side by side. She almost crushed the wooden floorboards under her feet, which were of decent quality but had been there for many years.
It felt like you'd painstakingly grown chives... no, cabbages for years, only to have them eaten by some other pig before you could even bring yourself to eat them.
Those two Devil Fruits that were originally D-rank have almost been upgraded to E-rank by the madman!
However, after some hesitation and deliberation, she finally gave up the idea of continuing to follow, because... what should she do if she didn't have money to take the tram?
Now, Wen Shuihe Yan isn't here to pay for her!
Furthermore, it would be extremely embarrassing if Hakamada Sosuke accidentally spotted you on the train, and Hakamada Sosuke would most likely be angry.
She's already under immense pressure facing two 'fierce philanderers,' Himegami Karen and Shirakawa Tsukiai. If she were to anger Hakamada Sosuke as well, wouldn't she have even less of a chance?
Taking a deep breath, Banami saw Anzu trying to calm herself down, while a mischievous 'evil' smile appeared on her lips.
"Hum hum--"
She herself couldn't take action herself, lest she anger Hakamada Sosuke, but that didn't mean she was helpless against the two of them and would let Hakamada Sosuke 'cheat' on Shirakawa Tsuki Ai.
In fact, when she overheard Hakamada Sosuke and Shirakawa Tsuki's conversation, a brilliant idea flashed into her mind. Based on Shirakawa Tsuki's praise of Kitagawa Yu, she figured out how to stop Hakamada Sosuke from 'cheating'.
After all, compared to Hakamada Sosuke, who is just average in every way, looks like a delinquent, and is particularly lewd at heart, Kitagawa Yu is far superior in terms of looks, figure, personality, and talent, isn't he?
With a gem like Kitagawa Yu by her side, what normal girl would be interested in Hakamada Sosuke!
"Hmph! That wretched Kusuke! If it weren't for the fact that we've been childhood friends for so many years, I would have fallen for Kitagawa-kun long ago!"
"He actually cheated on me behind my back, secretly meeting with other girls and even treating them to such an expensive Western meal!"
"I'm telling you! If you keep going like this, you'll definitely lose me!"
Like an unkillable cockroach, Yanami Anzu, having regained her spirits, muttered to herself as she walked towards the stairs.
Perhaps because she had already thought of a 'solution', her steps were even lighter than when she came.
only......
"Ah!"
Kitagawa Yu, who had just arrived at the talent class classroom, suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck and couldn't help but sneeze.
"Strange, it's not cold today... Could someone be plotting something?"
Upon realizing that this was a crossover anime world, Kitagawa Yu frowned and began to think about it carefully, somewhat suspiciously.
However, even if he racked his brains, he obviously couldn't have imagined that the person who plotted against him would be his favorite little glutton, Anna Hanami.
Moreover, what Hanami Anna was trying to do was to let him use his good looks and talent to 'seduce' Shirakawa Tsuki Ai, so as to stop Hakamada Sosuke from 'cheating' on her, which was a terrible idea.
That's right! It's a terrible idea!
If he knew, he would definitely refuse without hesitation after the initial shock! Even if Hana knelt down and begged him, it wouldn't matter!
Just kidding, that's Shirakawa Tsuki Ai, one of the three great phantom gods!
If it were Ogiwara Sayu who had given up First Blood, he might be able to keep his voice down. But if it were someone like Shirakawa Tsuki, who's not exactly mentally sound, even if First Blood were still available, he wouldn't be confident he could keep his voice down!
"Hey Kitagawa-kun, you look so troubled. Want to grab a smoke? Don't worry, while the law prohibits minors from drinking alcohol, it doesn't prohibit them from smoking."
The sudden sound beside him interrupted Kitagawa Yu's thoughts, causing him to subconsciously turn his head to look.
"Thank you for your kindness, Saito-san, but I'd better not accept it."
Kitagawa Yu first carefully examined Saito Ichigo, who had somehow approached him, and after sensing that it was probably not him, he gave a polite smile and politely declined his offer.
Seeing that Saito Ichigo was still standing there and didn't intend to leave, Kitagawa Yu immediately guessed that he must have come to see him for something else, so he joked, "Saito-san, you wouldn't happen to want to introduce me to a girlfriend, would you?"
“If you need it, I can certainly help introduce you. I’m not bragging, but all my girlfriend’s best friends are former models, and they’re all pretty high-quality.” Saito Ichigo chuckled and agreed, then continued, “But the reason I came to see Kitagawa-kun is to ask if you’re interested in becoming an idol. I’m planning to open my own agency soon, mainly focusing on idol-related businesses.”
Saito Ichigo also plans to elaborate on his plans for the agency's development and his optimism about the future of the idol business.
However, Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and interrupt him.
"I'm so sorry, Saito-san, but I plan to become an independent musician or form an independent band in the future. I don't plan to join an agency, and I certainly don't plan to become an idol."
"I see!" Saito Ichigo had a pretty good temper; he wasn't angry at all when he was interrupted and rejected, but he was a little disappointed.
After all, in his eyes, Kitagawa Yu's appearance is truly outstanding, enough to make him an idol.
In addition, she has talent in songwriting and composing, so even in the fiercely competitive idol industry, she has a good chance of standing out.
However, Kitagawa Yu actually didn't say something else: "We live in the age of streaming media now. Being a traditional idol isn't as promising as being a broadcaster."
So let alone a small agency like Saito Ichigo, even if top-tier agencies like Key Time and 346 Production approached him to be an idol, he wouldn't agree.
"I'm going out for a coffee."
To avoid being bothered by Saito Ichigo any further, Kitagawa Yu cleverly took the canned coffee he had bought earlier to the outside corridor, then leaned against the windowsill, leisurely drinking his coffee while enjoying the street view outside.
Before I'd even taken two sips, the bass class next door opened their classroom door after class, making the once quiet hallway suddenly noisy.
Immediately following was a distinct sound, even amidst the chaotic bass, the signature click of a can of carbonated beverage being pulled open, which rang out from not far away.
Then, as he subconsciously turned around, he saw the dark-skinned girl he had bumped into yesterday walking out of the classroom with a can of beer that had obviously just been opened and was still foaming.
Chapter 51 A Caring Older Sister?
"Good heavens! This must be beer, right? I'm not seeing things, am I?"
Kitagawa Yu's pupils contracted, and he almost spat out the coffee in his mouth through his nostrils.
There's nothing we can do about it. If it were their class, with an average age of 26 or 7, all single guys with non-mainstream blond hair, it would be understandable if they held up a can of beer during breaks to "refresh themselves," since that's how their teacher teaches.
But if this were applied to a beautiful young woman who is probably no more than 20 years old... wouldn't that be too much of a contrast?
Do you really think all bassists are like Kikusato Hiroi from "Lonely Rock"—a drunkard? Look at Ryo Yamada...
"Ah?"
While lost in thought, Kitagawa Yu felt he had discovered something interesting: it seemed that apart from Akiyama Mio in "K-On!", most of the bassists in other music anime were some kind of weird and strange guys!
This in the end is why?
Did the bassist steal some of the author's rice?
At this moment, the dark-skinned girl also noticed Kitagawa Yu not far away, and at the same time noticed that Kitagawa Yu was staring at the beer in her hand with a look of astonishment.
Then... the dark-skinned girl calmly and confidently revealed a gentle, older sister-like smile, and said in a familiar tone, "Want to try some? This brand of beer is really good~"
"..."
Do you think this is a nightclub or bar?! Trying to pick up handsome guys with a beer in hand?!
Kitagawa Yu thought to himself, and his lips twitched involuntarily.
However, out of politeness, he shook the coffee in his hand and said with a smile, "Thank you, but I'd rather not."
At the same time, based on this new information, he began to think again about the name and identity of the dark-skinned girl in front of him.
To his surprise, the dark-skinned girl he rejected did not get angry or upset, nor did she give up and walk away. Instead, she took the initiative to walk towards him.
"My name is Rupa, I'm from South Asia, and I'm currently working part-time while also forming a band with my friends—"
The dark-skinned girl named Lupa took a sip of her beer and then asked with a hint of curiosity, "Do you play in a band too?"
"Rupa!? And from South Asia!?" Upon hearing this name, Kitagawa Yu was taken aback at first. Then, a piece of information that popped into his mind quickly overlapped with the image of the girl in front of him, causing a look of surprise to appear in his eyes.
"So she's the big sister from the 'Thorn Gang'! I was wondering why she looked so familiar. I never imagined this world would incorporate 'GIRLS BAND CRY'..."
Coming to his senses, Kitagawa Yu pondered Rupa's purpose in approaching him while introducing himself: "My name is Kitagawa Yu, and I'm currently a first-year high school student... Right now, I'm just writing songs and making music on my own... I don't have any plans to form a band yet."
Since it's unclear whether Lupa has actually joined the 'Thorn Band', Kitagawa Yu simply stated that he doesn't plan to form a band for the time being, so he doesn't have to worry about Lupa 'taking a liking to him' and inviting him to form a band.
After all, Ebizuka Satoshi, the keyboardist who is deeply tied to Rupa, is quite a troublesome guy.
Even though Ebizuka Satoshi has arrangement skills comparable to Yamada Ryo, he doesn't want to form a band with such a troublesome guy. After all, with his memories of his past life, he doesn't need anyone else to compose or arrange music; he can do it all by himself.
However... you can be friends even if you don't form a band, right?
If Kitagawa Yuu were to act very proactively, like... Hakamada Sosuke did when he saw Himemiya Karen, Lupa might hesitate a bit.
Now that Kitagawa Yu seems so indifferent, she actually has a better opinion of him.
"Huh? Kitagawa-kun is only a first-year high school student?"
Upon hearing this, Lupa was initially surprised, but then gave him a warm and friendly smile, sincerely praising, "You're only a first-year high school student and you're already taking such a professional music composition class. Kitagawa-kun is really amazing!"
Then, perhaps worried that her compliment would make Kitagawa Yu shy and unsure how to respond, Rupa took out her phone from her coat pocket before Kitagawa Yu could speak. While unlocking the screen with her finger, she smiled and continued, "Kitagawa-kun, can I add you on Line? I have a friend who's about your age and is also a very talented keyboardist and arranger. I think you two would have a lot in common."
Just then, Rupa suddenly remembered something, her tone changed, and she winked at him with a hint of teasing, saying, "My friend is a very pretty girl! Much prettier than me~"
"..."
This sounds more like a pickup line at a nightclub!
Kitagawa Yuu said that he originally didn't want to add it from the bottom of his heart. He had even thought of an excuse such as "I didn't bring my phone with me and I'm in the classroom". After all, he was not the kind of guy like Hakamada Sosuke who couldn't walk past a woman with big breasts. Besides, Ebizuka Satoshi's breasts weren't that big, and she wasn't his type.
But coincidentally, the message he had sent to Sakai and Kanade on the train earlier received a reply at that moment.
The sudden ringing of his phone alert disrupted his train of thought, rendering his carefully prepared excuse useless.
At the same time, upon hearing the message notification tone, my body instinctively reached for my phone.
It was clearly too late for him to come up with a new, suitable excuse.
A direct refusal would be too offensive, so he could only maintain an awkward but polite smile and exchange phones and Line accounts with Rupa.
"You replied to that message really fast!!!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity to reply to the message, Kitagawa Yu subtly slipped away from Lupa and returned to the classroom, then immediately sent a message to Sakai Kazuna through gritted teeth.
"Serves you right! I'll make you taste what waiting is like too!"
On the other end of the chat interface, Sakai Kazuna, seeing the message he sent, seemed to sense his displeasure and let out a smug snort. While muttering to herself, she replied:
