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

All eyes were on Shikiya Yumeko.

At this moment, Shikiya Yumeko reverted to her usual zombie appearance, tilting her head, first looking at Kitagawa Yu, then at Hakamada Sosuke, and finally her gaze returned to Kitagawa Yu.

Then, under Hakamada Sosuke's tense, almost suffocating gaze, he said slowly, "Why are you... looking at me like that... Kitagawa-kun... singing... so well... of course I... am no problem either..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hakamada Sosuke, who had been holding his breath, couldn't help but clench his fist excitedly. For a moment, even Shikiya Yumeko's zombie-like appearance with her slumped shoulders, tilted head, and expressionless face became a little cute in his eyes.

And then there were the two most innocent girls, Himegami Karen and Shirakawa Tsuki, who excitedly hugged each other.

Anna first patted her Devil Fruit, breathed a sigh of relief, and then a joyful smile appeared on her face.

"Great! We've passed the review!"

"However... I hope... Kitagawa-kun... will be stricter in recruiting in the future... and... next time... the student council's... random checks... I hope... someone... will no longer be... a slacker..." Shikiya Yumeko continued weakly.

However, apart from Hakamada Sosuke, whose expression froze after hearing her words, the other three didn't seem to pay much attention to them.

After all... although they are technically 'slackers', they certainly won't become the 'someone' that Shikiya Yumeko is talking about, right?

"correct!"

After the initial joy, when Bana saw Anja clap her hands, she suddenly remembered the question that was very important to her.

How much is the club's activity budget each semester?

Because she didn't have any money, Anna Hanami originally wanted to continue using the free piano from the piano club as her instrument.

However, after the 'forgotten incident' this morning, she felt a little regretful and hesitant, because the piano was much more difficult than she had imagined.

so......

"If the club's activity fund is large enough, can I use it to buy other musical instruments?"

Anzu Hachimi looked at Hibari Hokurihara with wide, round eyes, like a little squirrel waiting to be fed.

"The specific use of club activity funds is arranged by the club president, and the student council is only responsible for supervision. So in principle, as long as Beichuan agrees and the use of funds is not too outrageous, the student council will not interfere."

"However, the specific amount of funding for club activities depends on many factors, such as the size of the club, the direction of its activities, and its achievements."

"As a newly formed club, the Light Music Club obviously has no honors and only has five members, so the club's operating expenses will probably be around 20,000 yen—"

"What? 20,000 yen!?" Yana gasped, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

After all, the amount of pocket money in her wallet had never exceeded 2000 yen.

Whenever her allowance exceeds 1000 yen, her stomach will loudly remind her, "You have too much money, it's time to spend it." So most of the time, the allowance in her wallet only stays in the three digits or even the two digits.

But then she realized that there were five people in their light music club.

If divided equally among all people, 20,000 yen would only amount to 4000 yen per person.

Considering that it will be used for a whole semester, this amount of money is actually not that much.

"So whether or not to use the money to buy musical instruments, and what kind of instruments to buy, is up to Kitagawa, the club president, to decide."

After Hibari Hokuriku finished explaining, Anna Hanami subconsciously turned to look at Yu Kitagawa.

"4000 yen... is that enough to buy a musical instrument?"

Actually, there's no need to ask Kitagawa Yu; Yanami Anna knows for herself that 4000 yen can only buy an old, secondhand wooden guitar, not any other musical instruments.

Not wanting to put Kitagawa Yu in a difficult position, she immediately turned back to look at Hokurihara Hibari and quickly changed the subject.

"What about the activity room? Can we share an activity room with the piano department?"

"That depends on Yumeko's opinion. After all, she is currently acting as the head of the piano club after the previous members graduated."

So everyone turned to look at Shikiya Yumeko again, and apart from Shirakawa Tsukiai, the other four became more or less worried.

After all, everyone knows that Shikiya Yumeko hates Hakamada Sosuke, this "pervert" and "delinquent".

However, after a moment's thought, Shikiya Yumeko surprisingly agreed.

"However... this is only... temporary... If... a new member joins the piano club... and feels... that you are disturbing them... then... you will need to... change the activity room..."

This request was perfectly reasonable, so neither Anna Hanami nor Yu Kitagawa tried to negotiate with Yumeko Shikiya.

and......

"With this time to buffer, I can try playing the guitar and see if it's easier. If the guitar is easier than the piano... then I'll buy a second-hand guitar and let Kitagawa-kun play the piano!" Anna thought to herself.

Then, perhaps feeling that this idea was a bit unfair, Bana glanced at Kitagawa Yu in front of her and felt a little guilty.

"Hmm...this guy seems to really like my fried chicken nuggets, maybe...I should make a little extra for him next time? The discounted chicken at the supermarket isn't too expensive anyway..."

Thinking of this, Banami Anna suddenly sighed softly in her heart again.

"The bento boxes I made weren't bad at all, so why didn't Sosuke like them much when I made them for him? He only ate them for a few days and then stopped..."

Since it was still the piano club's activity time, after Hibari and Ayase left, Hakamada Sosuke "very sensibly" left the activity room with his bass on his back, under the watchful eyes of Shikiya Yumeko.

And as he left, he secretly hoped that Shirakawa Tsukiai would leave with him.

Unfortunately, Shirakawa Tsukie wanted to stay and get closer to everyone, and since she didn't sense that Shikiya Yumeko was targeting her, she wouldn't leave on her own initiative.

"Humph!"

Seeing the gloomy look in Hakamada Sosuke's eyes, Hanami Anna, who had been feeling a bit sad, finally felt much better.

Chapter 69 is even cuter than I imagined

However, a girl's mood is like the weather in June, changing in an instant.

Soon, Anna's mood soured again.

"Hey, Kitagawa, aren't we going to celebrate together after school today?"

"I'm so sorry, but I still have to go to my extracurricular class. How about we reschedule for another day?"

"OK then......"

Seeing Anja with her head down, Hana sighed with a worried expression.

Not going out for a meal to celebrate is more than just missing out on a free feast for her.

More importantly, she had already learned from Shirakawa Tsukiai that Hakamada Sosuke had once again used the excuse of "going to a music store together" to invite Shirakawa Tsukiai to go shopping and have dinner in Ochanomizu after school this afternoon!

In this way, without the excuse of 'celebrating the establishment of the Light Music Club,' she would have no choice but to watch helplessly as Hakamada Sosuke and Shirakawa Tsukie Ai went on a date alone, just like yesterday.

Kitagawa Yu saw through her thoughts at a glance, but this time he really couldn't help Hanami Anna.

Moreover, to put it bluntly, if Anna Hanami can defend against this time, what about next time?

Baihe Yue Ai is the kind of weirdo who will agree to any guy who confesses his feelings, and will never refuse a guy's invitation to go on a date.

It's impossible for Anna Hanami to stop Sosuke Hakamada and Tsuki Ai Shirakawa from going on a date.

"Could you play 'Horizon' on the piano by yourself, Yu?" asked Karen Himegami, who was standing nearby.

"Of course."

As Kitagawa Yu spoke, he walked over to the piano, and then... just as he sat down, Himegami Karen, who was sitting next to him, suddenly thought of something.

"Oh right! I remember Yu said last time that there weren't any new songs coming out, right?"

"Eh?"

Did he say that?

Kitagawa Yu was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that he did say that, and couldn't help but awkwardly twitch the corner of his mouth.

"Oh...would you believe me if I said...I just wrote this song the night before last?"

I believe it!

Himegami Karen said this without thinking, which caught Kitagawa Yu off guard.

"...Okay! I actually wrote this song when I graduated from junior high school. Although the lyrics have been polished to the point where there are no problems, I feel that the melody still needs to be revised and adjusted, so it is not completely finished yet."

"Which road is more or less!"

"..."

Looking at Himegami Karen's fierce yet easily fooled appearance, Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but wipe away imaginary beads of sweat from his forehead. Then, he suddenly felt that this 'first villain,' who didn't have much screen time in the original story, was actually more endearing than he had imagined.

"No wonder he was able to defeat the eighth brother in the original story. It seems that it's not just because he's bigger and more beautiful..." Kitagawa Yu thought to himself.

......

......

Time soon came to the end of school in the afternoon.

"Then I'll be going now~"

"Bye-bye!" ×3

Perhaps because Ochanomizu is quite far away, this time Hakamada Sosuke didn't do what he did a few days ago: after school, he would first go out for snacks with Kitagawa Yu and the others, and then sneak back to school to find Shirakawa Tsukie.

Instead, under the expectant gaze of Anna Hanami, as soon as the bell rang and the teacher left, she picked up her bass, waved goodbye to Yu Kitagawa with a bright smile, and left the classroom.

Perhaps there was also a hint of wanting to 'assert sovereignty' over Kitagawa Yu.

However, even though Anzu Hachimi had spent two class periods preparing, she still couldn't help but feel even more frustrated.

At this point... it's clear that only delicious food can heal her.

so......

What should we eat today?

Seeing Anzu turn her gaze away from the doorway, she silently took a deep breath, then roused herself and turned to look at Kitagawa Yu.

"How about honey pancakes?" Kitagawa Yu thought for a moment and said, "The day before yesterday, on my way to the station, I saw a bakery in Sanchōme, and their honey pancakes looked really delicious."

Seeing Anja tilt her head, gently tapping her chin with her finger, Yana saw her think for a moment.

"The bakery in Sanchōme...you must be talking about 'Azusagawa-ya', right? Their bread is really delicious. I heard the baker used to work at 'Pantage,' a long-established and popular bakery in Shinjuku. But their honey pancakes...they must be pretty expensive, right?"

"Hey, if you don't have enough pocket money, I'll treat you!"

"Huh? You're treating me again?"

Seeing Anzu's face startled at first, then she subconsciously touched her cheek, which was still as white and smooth as milk, and said in a slightly embarrassed voice, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"Hey, you're so naive. Just make me an extra batch of fried chicken next time you make it," Kitagawa Yu said with a casual shrug, having already prepared his explanation.
