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

"But we are different. For us, both the Budokan and the Tokyo Dome are goals that we are determined to achieve."

"So if you don't have enough vocal skills to improve your stamina and make singing easier and less strenuous, it obviously won't work."

"Which way or more!" Tsukimi Eiko suddenly realized after hearing this, and her eyes shone with longing.

After all, that's a martial arts gym!

Even before deciding to pursue a career in music, stepping onto the Budokan stage is an incredibly remarkable achievement for any high school student.

"I understand! I will start practicing my vocal techniques properly from today!" Coming back to her senses, Tsukimi Eiko clenched her little fist with fighting spirit.

Although she wasn't a very confident person, and could even be considered somewhat insecure, she believed in Kitagawa Yu and the god she worshipped.

Since her divine being told her that they would definitely step onto the stage of the martial arts gym, she would not have any doubts or waver, but would only strive forward in that direction with unwavering determination.

"Shall we begin now?"

"Okay, let me teach you how to pronounce correctly first..."

Next, Kitagawa Yu began to teach Tsukimi Eiko vocal techniques step by step.

However, considering that she is still a beginner, practicing too much might damage her voice, so Kitagawa Yu only taught her how to practice on her own this time, and then she practiced for less than half an hour before ending today's lesson.

"Alright, that's all for today. Go take a shower now. Remember not to get dizzy like you did yesterday!"

"No way!"

Eiko Tsukimi scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly, but her eyes began to wander.

If she gets dizzy again today, Kitagawa Yu will probably carry her back to her room like he did yesterday, right?

By the time......

Her heart pounding and her cheeks flushing rapidly made Eiko Tsukimi quickly lower her head and flee as if in a panic.

However, the faint blush of cherry blossoms that ran from her slender neck to her earlobes inadvertently betrayed her.

This caused Kitagawa Yuqing, who was standing behind her, to pause slightly, a strange emotion quietly rising from the bottom of her heart.

However, he immediately took a deep breath, suppressing this emotion along with the restlessness in his heart, and then returned to the keyboard to start recording a demo of "Sunflower" on his phone.

"Even though I really like it, I always say 'it's not bad,' I just can't honestly express my joy..."

The warm and healing vocals rang out again, this time with even more emotion than when they first sang and played the piano.

However, because Tsukimi Eiko was worried that the beef bowl she made would get cold before Kitagawa Yu returned, she closed the window early.

so......

"Huh? What's going on? It's already ten o'clock. Isn't that guy going to practice the piano tonight?"

In the bright and tidy bedroom next door, Shiina Mahiru, who was originally sitting at her desk in a daze, hugging her teddy bear, looked at the alarm clock on the desk for the nth time tonight.

Upon seeing that it was already 10 p.m., he couldn't help but frown.

Ten o'clock may not be particularly late for energetic high school students, but making such a loud noise at this time, even if it is the sound of a beautiful piano, can be considered a disturbance to the neighbors.

so......

"That guy is so lazy! He spends money to go to tutoring classes every day, but he can't even stick to practicing the piano every day. So, is he just playing around?"

Logically speaking, whether Kitagawa Yu intends to pursue a professional career or simply treats it as a hobby is none of her business.

However, for some reason, Shiina Mahiru felt somewhat disappointed and dissatisfied.

Unable to resist the urge to transform into a little devil with two horns, I picked up a whip and lashed out at Kitagawa Yu, yelling, "Practice your piano properly, you bastard!"

In contrast, Narumi Sena, who had just finished dinner and was sitting on the sofa with her younger sister Narumi Mona reading comics, was much calmer.

After all, as a 'professional', she knew that Kitagawa Yu should have already prepared the accompaniment for "Himawari" yesterday.

So it's not surprising that they didn't continue playing "Sunflower" tonight.

but......

"What is Kitagawa-kun doing at this time when he doesn't play the piano?"

My mind seems to be thinking about something, yet it also feels completely empty, as if I'm not thinking about anything at all.

Narumi Sena was lost in thought until Narumi Moe beside her couldn't help but urge, "Hey, it's time to turn the page! Or you can keep daydreaming, I'll read it myself!"

Narumi Sena finally came to her senses, her pretty face flushed, and she stuck out her tongue somewhat shyly. Then... she decisively handed over control of the comic book to Narumi Moe.

Because she herself didn't know if she would drift off again, she figured she might as well just stick to being a human-shaped cushion.

Thinking of this, the clever Narumi Sena couldn't help but find the most comfortable position and hug Narumi Moe.

Meanwhile, the not-so-bright Tsukimi Eiko was still trying to make herself dizzy from soaking in water.

Chapter 56 is just stupid.

Less than five minutes later, Kitagawa Yu knocked on the door from the outside to remind her.

Yes, to prevent Tsukimi Eiko, who has a "criminal record," from making him faint again, Kitagawa Yu specially set an alarm on his phone before recording the song.

So, the clumsy Tsukimi Eiko ultimately failed to replicate yesterday's 'successful experience' and obediently walked out of the bathroom.

However, before she even returned to her room, her gloom and frustration vanished without a trace, replaced by joy and excitement, because...

"I've already recorded the demo of 'Sunflower' and sent it to you~"

Eiko Tsukimi was stunned for several seconds before she came to her senses. Then, like a cat that had just seen a ball of yarn, she pounced back into her room and grabbed her phone from the bed.

"Oh my god! Yu's demo of 'Sunflower'! If that's the case, then I can..."

The image of Kitagawa Yu singing "Sunflower" to lull her to sleep instantly flashed through Tsukimi Eiko's mind, and her cheeks, which were already flushed from the bath, turned bright red.

As for the fact that it was just an audio file sent to her by Kitagawa Yu, and not Kitagawa Yu herself... what does it matter!

Can't people even have a little bit of imagination?

Under the hazy moonlight, Tsukimi Eiko, grinning foolishly, held her phone and rolled around on the bed contentedly.

Meanwhile, Kitagawa Yu, who was still taking a bath in the bathroom, couldn't help but fantasize about... himself and Tsukimi Eiko becoming the YOASOBI of this world, sweeping away everything, crushing all those who dared to challenge them, and trampling the little 'thorny group' under their feet. He couldn't help but smile.

"By the way, the best song from 'Crying Girl Band,' 'Our City,' didn't seem to appear in the anime because it was used as the opening theme, right? If I bring it out beforehand and sing it in front of the 'Thorn Band'... hehe!"

Kitagawa Yu had a slightly wicked fantasy of himself singing "Our City" in front of the Thorn Gang, which made his already good mood even more cheerful.

However, compared to him, Hakamada Sosuke was undoubtedly much happier at this moment, because...

"Great! I can buy a second-hand acoustic guitar for only two or three thousand yen! That way I don't have to borrow money from Anja!"

......

......

The next day came in a blink of an eye.

"Ohayo!" ×2

"Ohayo~"

Because she needed to prepare breakfast and lunch boxes, Kitagawa Yu arrived late, just like yesterday.

Then, as soon as he got to his seat, he keenly sensed that something was wrong.

First, the number of people who greeted her returned to three. Second, Anna was noticeably slower than Karen Himemiya and Lemon Yakishio, and she didn't have the same energy as the other two. She looked somewhat listless, and her voice revealed a hint of depression, dissatisfaction, and frustration.

"Is it because of Hakamada Sosuke again?"

Kitagawa Yu guessed the truth immediately.

After all, the only things that could make the cheerful, food-loving girl, Hanami Anna, lose her energy were hunger and Hakamada Sosuke.

Moreover, Hakamada Sosuke isn't in the classroom right now.

However, after putting down his schoolbag and sitting down, Kitagawa Yu still jokingly said to Hanami Anna, "What's wrong with Hanami-kun? Did you get hungry again so soon after eating breakfast?"

Upon hearing this, Anna first glared at Kitagawa Yu with annoyance, then, as if venting her frustration, huffed, "No way! I'm not stupid. I ate a lot this morning, okay!"

"Is that so?" Kitagawa Yu shrugged dismissively, then looked relieved as she took a lunchbox out of her bag, saying, "That's great! Because of limited time and ingredients, I only made one 'Kitagawa Family Secret Tomato Cheese Chicken and Potato Tart.' I was worried it wouldn't be enough!"

"What!?"

One second ago, Anzu was listless, but the next second she was like a sleeping cat that suddenly heard the sound of cat food falling into its bowl. Upon hearing that long string of names, her ears immediately perked up.

There's no way around it; as a seasoned foodie, she knows that the longer the name of a food, the more unique and delicious its flavor usually is!

"Click——"

Kitagawa Yu opened the lid of the bento box at this moment.

As it turns out, the common sense that Hanami Anna, as a seasoned foodie, had accumulated was not wrong.

The moment the lunchbox was removed, a complex aroma, a blend of cheese, citrus, onion, black pepper, and many other scents, wafted out, making her nose twitch involuntarily.

"It smells so good!"

As Hanami Anana inhaled the mouthwatering aroma, she instinctively gasped in surprise.

Before Kitagawa Yu could say anything, she instinctively swallowed, put on a serious face, and said, "Actually, I didn't eat much this morning, I can eat a little more!"

"..."

"..."

Beside her, the roasted salt lemon, who already considered Anna Hanami a friend, suddenly felt an urge to cover her face.

However, the thick-skinned Himegami Karen and Kitagawa Yu, who had already guessed that this would be the case, were not surprised by this.

"But didn't someone just say that only idiots don't eat enough for breakfast?" Kitagawa Yu teased with a half-smile.

As she spoke, she opened her mouth and took a bite of the palm-sized potato tart, which looked just like an egg tart.

The next second, as the top layer of cheese was broken open, an even richer aroma rushed to her nose, making Anna Hanami swallow hard and stare wide-eyed.

"No! You must have misheard!" Yana cleverly denied.

However, such an answer was clearly not enough to satisfy Kitagawa Yu.

"I don't think I heard wrong."

"..."

The clever Banana immediately understood Kitagawa Yu's meaning from Anja, which made her clench her little fists in anger. She wanted to turn her head away defiantly and show Kitagawa Yu that she was not so easy to back down or compromise, and that this was her 'bottom line'.
