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

"My outfit is so outdated!?"

"I spent an entire night and morning carefully selecting these items, finally choosing them based on the recommendations of those popular fashion bloggers!"

"Do you even have any taste?!"

Unfortunately, Kitagawa Yu wasn't intimidated by her imposing manner. After listening to her explanation, he chuckled and shrugged, saying, "It's like a buyer's photo versus a seller's photo. Some clothes look good on popular bloggers, but they might not suit Hanami-kun. Besides, what looks good in a girl's eyes might not necessarily match a guy's aesthetic, right?"

"..."

After hearing this, Hanami Anzu was completely speechless.

There are no fairies in the world of anime, and she's not the kind of girl who's spoiled or willful, so even though she's angry, she doesn't argue or make a scene. Instead, she asks with some concern, "What should I do? Is it too late to go back and change my clothes? What kind of outfit would suit your guys' tastes?"

“Well,” Kitagawa Yu thought for a moment, stroking his chin, “I personally prefer the fashionable and cute style of JK or sailor uniforms.”

"Or those loose, cute hoodies, shirts, knitwear, and baseball jackets would also be nice."

"Anyway, in my opinion, Hanami-kun is more suited to the cute style~"

"As for now... how about we go get some dorayaki to calm our nerves?"

Chapter 73 Interrupting Spellcasting

Kitagawa Yu pointed to the bakery next door with his thumb, which immediately made Anna Hanami's forehead crease with annoyance.

Then......

"want!"

Just kidding, how could she possibly refuse free dorayaki!

And it's dorayaki made by a long-established and popular bakery like Pantages!

"How many?"

"One...no! Two! One with red bean paste filling, and one with taro paste filling!"

Perhaps because they were fresh out of the oven, the dorayaki were still a little hot to the touch.

However, Yana couldn't wait any longer. As soon as she paid, she eagerly took a bite.

Then, the overwhelming sweetness exploded in my mouth, sweetening my heart all the way down my tongue, instantly healing the wounded heart of Anna Hanami who had been criticized for her unfashionable outfit. Her cheeks turned into round little buns, and with the red bean paste overflowing from the corners of her mouth, she looked absolutely adorable.

"Is Hanami-kun here to buy a musical instrument as well?"

"Um... I haven't really decided whether I want to buy it or not. Actually, I mainly came here to accompany Kusuke~"

"By the way, why hasn't Kusuke arrived yet—" Hana said as she took out her phone to check the time. When she realized it was already 4:05, her brows furrowed.

"Damn it! We agreed to meet here at four o'clock, and it's been five minutes already and they still haven't arrived..."

While muttering under her breath in dissatisfaction, Anna sent a message to Hakamada Sosuke with one hand.

Then......

"I have a fighting tournament where you can win limited-edition merchandise."

"Mainly because Murata is holding us back, so it'll probably take another half hour or so to get there."

"Why don't you and Kitagawa go explore first? I'll message you when I get there and we can meet up."

"..."

"What do you mean Murata was holding him back, preventing him from leaving? He clearly wanted to win that limited-edition merchandise himself!!!"

An angry Banami almost threw her phone on the ground and stomped on it twice, her forehead bulging with anger.

“Then let’s not just stand here like idiots, let’s go take a look around first~” Kitagawa Yu said at this moment.

"So, where shall we go? A music instrument store?"

"A music store would be fine, but I think we can use this time to visit LUMINE EST first."

"Huh? LUMINE EST?"

When Anna heard this, she was taken aback for a moment, not quite understanding why Yu Kitagawa would suggest going to LUMINE EST.

If she remembered correctly, LUMINE EST was a large women's clothing department store, and the prices were mostly not very expensive, ranging from 3000 yen to 15000 yen without discounts. With discounts, 20% or 30% off was quite common, and sometimes the prices were even significantly reduced.

Even with her meager allowance, with the current spring end-of-year sales, she should... probably... maybe be able to afford it...

Then, she finally realized that Kitagawa Yu was still criticizing her clothes for being unfashionable!

This made her unable to resist angrily waving her little fist at Kitagawa Yu. However, considering that Kitagawa Yu had just treated her to dorayaki, she wasn't really angry. In fact, before she even put her little fist down, her eyes lit up.

After all... no normal girl can resist a fashion store with discounts and promotions!

If so, it just means the discount isn't big enough!

Don't believe me? Try getting it to have a 90% discount!

At that time, not only young girls, but even middle-aged women in their forties and fifties will flock to the mall and cause it to overflow!

"Hmm...it's almost summer..."

"so what?"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Anzu, who resolutely refused to admit that her clothes were unfashionable, first glared at him irritably, and then couldn't help but urge him on.

If there are clothes that she can afford and that are also very nice, she might as well buy them and wear them right away.

However, her hopes of receiving praise from Hakamada Sosuke are likely to be dashed.

"What do you think of this one, Kitagawa-kun?"

"...And this one?"

"How about this one?"

"And this one..."

Perhaps the 40% off sale at the end of the season was really significant, or perhaps she hadn't been to a shopping mall in a long time because she never had much pocket money.

Stepping into Anne Hachimi's Lumine EST right now feels like a greedy little mouse sneaking into the kitchen of a Michelin three-star restaurant; your eyes are practically overwhelmed with choices!

Moreover, perhaps because calling him "Kitagawa-kun" too often and it was too troublesome, when asking Kitagawa Yu's opinion for the thirtieth time, Anna finally subconsciously changed the three words "Kitagawa-kun" to the simpler and more convenient "Yu".

She shopped until she was starving before finally realizing that even with a 40% discount, the 1000 yen in her wallet, along with a few 10-yen and 50-yen coins, were simply not enough to buy anything.

more importantly......

"What's wrong with Kusuke? It's almost six o'clock, why hasn't he come to find us yet!"

"Exactly!" Kitagawa Yuya deliberately made a dissatisfied and angry expression and looked at Yanami Anna's phone screen.

"Scream!"

"My match isn't over yet, I really can't leave."

"If you're hungry, why don't you and Kitagawa go eat first?"

"As for buying a bass effects pedal, if all else fails, I'll just have Kitagawa-kun buy it for me. Anyway, I don't really know much about what kind of effects pedals to buy."

"As long as the price doesn't exceed 4000 yen, it's fine."

"Damn it! That guy Kusuke actually dared to stand us up!" Seeing Anza gripping her phone with gritted teeth, Bana had clearly realized that Hakamada Kusuke was planning to stand her up.

However, she didn't suspect that Hakamada Sosuke was doing it on purpose, since Hakamada Sosuke really liked playing video games. Once, he even played games all night with Murata and Fujii the night before the final exam.

As expected, all three of them failed the exam the next day, even though they could barely keep their eyes open.

It's just that I stood her up, so it won't surprise her.

but......

I’m so angry!

After all, this was the first time in recent years that Hakamada Sosuke had asked her out shopping! Even if it was just the three of them, not just the two of them on a date, it was still important to her!

While feeling angry, Banami also felt a pang of grievance, her eyes reddening and tears welling up.

But just then, a warm hand suddenly landed on her head and patted her head, causing her to freeze in shock and interrupting her spellcasting.

Chapter 74 Chance Encounter

"Huh? Yuta..."

Hanami Anzu looked up, her gaze shifting from her phone screen to Kitagawa Yu in a daze.

If... Kitagawa Yu, like Numizu Kazuhiko in the original story, kept holding her hand and never let go, then she might even suspect that Kitagawa Yu had feelings for her and use teasing as an opportunity to test the waters.

However, after interrupting her angry and aggrieved emotions, Kitagawa Yu naturally and proactively withdrew his hand, which left her somewhat at a loss.

That feeling... is like a jerk who flirts with you and then runs away!

"Aren't you hungry? I'm a little hungry too, let's go get something to eat~ What do you want for dinner?"

When Anna Hanami came to her senses and saw Kitagawa Yu's gentle smile, she felt a warmth in her heart. All her previous anger and grievances seemed to melt away like ice and snow, leaving only faint traces.

An indescribable emotion welled up from the bottom of her heart, making her feel even more fond of Kitagawa Yu.

"Such a gentle, handsome, and talented guy... those two cowgirls are so lucky..."

Anna first muttered something to herself, then thought for a moment and said, "I only have 1000 yen on me, which is all my allowance for next week, so let's go eat at Yoshinoya instead?"

As one of Japan's largest chain restaurant brands, Yoshinoya focuses on affordability.

While the taste wasn't particularly outstanding, it was definitely decent. A standard large beef rice bowl set meal with a raw egg and miso soup only cost 420 yen, which would be considered cheap even in the countryside, let alone in high-end Shinjuku, Tokyo.

"Let's go then. Let's eat first, and then we can go to the music instrument store."

"Ok!"

Hana saw Anzu nod, and did not refuse.

Although mentioning the music store reminds her of Hakamada Sosuke, and mentioning Hakamada Sosuke reminds her of being stood up and feeling a little angry, what can she do when Hakamada Sosuke is her childhood friend?

Kitagawa Yu's feelings were complicated upon seeing this.

If Anna Hanami didn't go to the music store, his subsequent dating plans wouldn't be able to proceed.

But seeing that Anna Hanami forgave Sosuke Hakamada so easily, Yu Kitagawa felt a little uneasy.
