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

"Hmm, I'll search online later to see how much a used guitar costs, and then submit the club application form to the student council first thing tomorrow morning! Once the light music club is established, I can do club activities with Shirakawa-senpai and Himegami-san every day!"

Perhaps every boy harbors such fantasies to some extent. Although Hakamada Sosuke wasn't a scumbag, he couldn't help but imagine the happy life he, Shirakawa Tsuki, and Himemiya Karen would have after the Light Music Club was formed. His already cheerful mood became even more joyful.

......

......

"Tadaima~"

"Oka ei ri!"

At the same time, it's just the same old, simple dialogue.

When Kitagawa Yu returned from get out of class, he unlocked the door and walked into the entrance hall. He saw Tsukimi Eiko, who had heard the noise, running happily towards him like a puppy welcoming its owner home from get off work. A warm feeling welled up in his heart, and his gaze towards Tsukimi Eiko became even gentler.

"I've already made dinner!"

"Thanks a lot."

"Hehe, it's nothing. I used to do all the housework at home too... Yu, what did you buy? Let me help you carry it?"

"No need, this is a discounted bento box I bought at the supermarket... I was just worried that if Eiko-chan didn't cook it well, I wouldn't go hungry~"

"..."

"Idiot, I was just kidding. These are ingredients for making sandwiches for breakfast tomorrow."

"oh oh!"

Eiko Tsukimi looked at the shopping bag in Kitagawa Yu's hand and first breathed a long sigh of relief, but then a little depressed rose in her heart, because she actually wanted to take care of Kitagawa Yu's breakfast and lunch for tomorrow as well.

However, considering that she hadn't been able to get up for two days in a row, and that... Kitagawa Yu's sandwiches were so delicious, after a fierce internal struggle, she finally had to 'helplessly' give up the idea.

"Huh? Yingzi-chan hasn't eaten yet?"

As they spoke, the two had already arrived in the living room.

At that moment, Kitagawa Yuya immediately noticed the two steaming beef bowls on the table, which were clearly freshly made.

"Hmm... I haven't eaten yet..."

"Didn't I tell you not to wait for me and to eat first?"

"Eh, eh... I ate a lot at lunch, so I wasn't very hungry earlier..."

Eiko Tsukimi, who could never lie, blushed and lowered her head before she could finish speaking, her small hands habitually rubbing the hem of her clothes.

This adorable, goofy look made Kitagawa Yu momentarily lose himself in thought. When he came to his senses, the warmth in his heart had unknowingly transformed into a deep sense of comfort and emotion.

"Alright then, let's eat!"

Kitagawa Yu didn't say anything more, but after putting down his schoolbag, washing his hands, and sitting down at the dining table, he had already made up his mind to go to the supermarket later to buy some Baumkuchen and pineapple bread, so that Tsukimi Eiko could have something to eat when she was hungry.

Chapter 54 Even a simpleton can have amazing performances

"What do you see me doing?"

"Huh? Um... I just wanted to ask if my cooking was good..."

"It doesn't taste good~"

"what?"

"Yeah, right!"

"..."

Seeing Tsukimi Eiko pout with a coquettish expression, using her round cheeks to once again pretend to be a hamster eating, Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but laugh along.

Perhaps he sensed in Tsukimi Eiko the shadow of the quiet and well-behaved British Shorthair he had raised for many years in his previous life. He himself did not realize that the thought of teasing Tsukimi Eiko would always pop into his head.

However, the clueless Eiko Tsukimi, with the help of her 'girlish intuition', was able to keenly perceive this.

However, she was not dissatisfied at all; on the contrary, she felt very happy and secretly pleased.

She would be even happier if Kitagawa Yu really held her in his arms like a pet cat.

After all, she really doesn't mind at all, or rather, she really wants to become a divine servant girl who only serves Kitagawa Yu!

It's no exaggeration to say that from the day Kitagawa Yu appeared on the train platform, like a knight descending from the sky, forcefully protecting her and giving her a pep talk that gave her renewed will to live. He even took her in and brought her home. Kitagawa Yu has been her god, the only light in her life.

Unfortunately, even a benevolent god would not easily grant the wishes of a priestess who served him.

Kitagawa Yu, who doesn't consider herself particularly kind, is even less likely to be.

However, Eiko Tsukimi, besides her unexpectedly excellent cooking skills, soon brought him another surprise.

After dinner, Kitagawa Yu initially refused Tsukimi Eiko's help and took on all the dishwashing work by himself.

After washing the dishes, I started checking on Tsukimi Eiko's guitar learning progress.

Then... seeing that Tsukimi Eiko was already able to play "Sunflower" quite well, Kitagawa Yu was truly stunned.

"Is this what they call the talent of a music anime heroine?!"

Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but confidently recall in his mind that even the protagonist of "Lonely Rock," Pochi-chan, and the protagonist of "Crying Girl Band," Iori Jinna, couldn't reach this amazing learning speed.

As for Yui Hirasawa, the protagonist of "K-On!"...

"Huh? It seems like Yui, who also has zero experience, is learning guitar pretty fast?"

Kitagawa Yu suddenly discovered a key point: Hirasawa Yui, who seems to have a slow-witted and naturally ditzy personality, is also learning the guitar very quickly. She mastered it in less than a week or two of self-study.

Compared to ordinary people, this speed is absolutely terrifying!

However, this allows him to breathe a sigh of relief and change his next statement.

Yes, although he didn't show it, and even treated the three of them, including Hanami Anna, to oden in the afternoon, he was still very concerned about his increasingly thin wallet and wanted to start making money as soon as possible.

So his original plan was to have Tsukimi Eiko temporarily put aside her guitar lessons and practice "Sunflower" using the demo he had recorded.

If all goes well, I'll find some time this weekend to go to the recording studio and record this song.

But now~

"Incredible! You're learning guitar much faster than I am, a genius!"

"Huh? Really!?"

Why would I lie to you? Of course it's true!

Seeing Tsukimi Eiko's timid and somewhat incredulous expression, Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but laugh and gently tap her on the head.

This intimate gesture startled Tsukimi Eiko at first, and she instinctively raised her hands to cover her head. However, she quickly recovered and a happy, silly smile appeared on her face. She felt wonderful, and a shy blush appeared on her milky white and smooth cheeks, as if she were saying to Kitagawa Yu, "I want more."

Unfortunately, Kitagawa Yu then added, "Your musical talent is much higher than I expected, so I plan to change the original learning plan I designed for you and bring forward your vocal lessons."

Still lost in some indescribable fantasies, Tsukimi Eiko paused for a moment upon hearing this, then immediately replied, "I'll do whatever Yuu says! I'll do whatever Yuu tells me to do! Anything is fine with me!"

"..."

Why did you add that last sentence? Maybe I'm overthinking it?

Kitagawa Yu was also slightly taken aback. When he met Tsukimi Eiko's clean, pure, yet seemingly special gaze, a faint ripple unconsciously stirred in his heart.

However, relying on his relatively strong Dao heart, he quickly suppressed the 'distractions' that had just emerged in his mind and continued in a serious tone: "Although with the development of streaming media, more and more amateurs are becoming popular because of their outstanding talent and flashes of inspiration, if you want to become a professional singer who can 'make money from music in the long run,' it is still necessary to take some vocal lessons."

Seeing that Tsukimi Eiko was cooperating perfectly with her innocent and curious expression, Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but smile and continued, "In my opinion, whether someone sings well or not mainly depends on three parts—talent, technique, and emotion. Among them, talent is undoubtedly the most important. As long as you have enough talent, even without any technique or emotion, you can still make people think it sounds good."

"Which road is more or less!"

Eiko Tsukimi cooperated perfectly, immediately showing a look of sudden realization. That look made Kitagawa Yu involuntarily think of a certain crosstalk queen in his past life who liked to smoke, drink, and get perms, and he almost couldn't keep his expression up.

"Idiot! Listen carefully!"

Kitagawa Yu raised his hand in an annoyed manner and lightly tapped Tsukimi Eiko on the head. However, this time, a hint of happiness and smugness flashed in Tsukimi Eiko's eyes, clearly intentional.

It has to be said that even the most clueless person can occasionally have a flash of 'brilliance'.

"If we further divide talent into two categories, we can divide it into timbre and vocal range—"

Kitagawa Yu coughed twice and returned to the topic.

"I won't go into too much detail about timbre. First, it has to sound pleasant, and second, it has to be distinctive so that people can immediately tell who is singing."

"As for vocal range, simply put, it's how high you can sing."

"In my opinion, your talent is already outstanding, both in terms of timbre and vocal range, even more so than anyone I have ever met."

"To be honest, even without learning any vocal techniques, if you were to sing 'Sunflower' right now, you could definitely sing it very well and fully meet my requirements."

"Then why should I have you study vocal music?"

"Why?" Tsukimi Eiko tilted her head, her eyes sparkling as she 'subconsciously' repeated the question, but unfortunately Kitagawa Yu didn't fall for it this time.

Chapter 55: They actually closed the window!

"First of all, unlike timbre, which is largely determined by genetics and almost impossible to change, vocal range can be improved through technique and practice."

"In addition to raising the upper limit of vocal range, technique can also improve breath control and vocal stability."

"However, what I value most, and what is most important to you, is that learning vocal techniques can make singing easier and less strenuous for you."

"Easier and less strenuous?" Tsukimi Eiko looked at Kitagawa Yu, this time genuinely puzzled and confused.

After all, she doesn't think singing is that strenuous. In fact, she often sings along with the melody when she practices guitar alone at home these past two days.

Singing seems so easy to her, doesn't it?

Kitagawa Yu could tell what she was thinking from her face at a glance, and couldn't help but ask with a smile, "You find it easy to sing one or two songs in a row, but what if you had to sing ten or twenty songs in a row? Would you still find it easy?"

"Huh? Sing ten songs in a row? Twenty songs!?"

Eiko Tsukimi was stunned, a blank and confused expression on her face. Clearly, she had never thought about this question before, nor did she know why she had to sing so many songs in a row.

"Because our goal is to become a professional group or band, and in addition to releasing songs on online platforms, we also want to perform live!" Kitagawa Yu explained.

"Unless there are special circumstances, a performance at a live house or bar usually starts with singing three songs in a row."

"For medium-sized fan clubs or concerts with 200 to 500 people, you need at least ten songs to start."

"If we were to perform at the Budokan or Tokyo Dome, holding a large-scale concert exclusively for us, we would be singing more than twenty songs in a row."

“Most underground singers and bands are stuck in the Live House stage for a long time, so they feel that it doesn’t matter whether they practice or not. Budokan may only exist in their dreams.”
