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

However, even in the busy Shinjuku Station, it is unlikely to become too crowded after 10 p.m.

In fact, apart from the few seats that were already occupied, there were only seven or eight standing passengers in the carriage.

This made Kitagawa Yu glance at it and secretly think it was a pity.

However, once the train arrived at Saganomiya Station, he was able to take Anna Hanami home as planned.

Even though he didn't manage to hold Anna's hand again during the process, and instead maintained a distance of more than a fist from her the whole time, he couldn't help but feel genuinely happy.

Furthermore, it is clearly wrong for Hanami Anna to think that she has no merits other than being lively.

At least in Kitagawa Yu's opinion, there is another great quality about Anna Hanami: whenever she is around, the atmosphere is never dull.

Even when it's just her and Kitagawa Yu, she always seems to have endless topics to talk about.

"By the way, Yu, which songs will we be performing at the show? Will we still be performing 'Time Paradox'? And what about 'Horizon Line,' which we got approved by the student council yesterday? Should we include that too?"

"I haven't decided yet, but the piece I played on the first day, 'Sunflower,' which is number one, will definitely be included."

"Why?"

Because I like it!

"..." Seeing that Anja was momentarily speechless, Banana quickly followed up with a nonchalant question: "So, who are we going to buy tickets from? Our classmates? Or are we going to keep it a secret from them?"

"There's no need to keep it a secret. After all, we'll become famous sooner or later, so they'll find out eventually."

Looking at the confident expression on Kitagawa Yu's face, Hanami Anna couldn't help but feel slightly dizzy.

To be honest, if anyone else, including Hakamada Sosuke, had said these words, she would have kindly reminded them that "bragging is not good."

But if Kitagawa Yu had said those words, she wouldn't have thought there was anything wrong with them at all.

After all, it had only been less than a week, and she had already heard at least seven songs written by Kitagawa Yu himself, and every single one of them was so beautiful.

She would find it strange if she still couldn't become famous.

"Then wouldn't I be able to become a big star in the future?" Banai couldn't help but giggle when she thought of Anja.

As an 'ordinary and normal' high school girl, who wouldn't want to become famous and a 'big star' like Narumi Sena?

"Yeah, soon you'll be a big star, make lots of money, and then buy lots of delicious food and eat yourself into a ball!"

Kitagawa Yu chuckled and teased, which immediately earned him a big eye roll from Anna.

However, the thought that if she really became a big star and made a lot of money, she could have snack freedom and buy whatever snacks she wanted made her smile even brighter.

Even after waving goodbye to Kitagawa Yu at the door and returning home, her smile hadn't faded at all when her mother, who was waiting in the living room, stopped her and asked her questions out of curiosity.

"Huh? Why is Anja-chan smiling so happily? Could it be... that Kusuke-kun took the opportunity to confess to Anja-chan today?"

"No way!" Anna Hanami frowned angrily as soon as she heard Hakamada Sosuke's name. "That Sosuke stood me up all day! I'm so mad!"

"Huh? How could Kusuke-kun do this?" After hearing this, Anzu's mother couldn't help but stop smiling and frown, feeling very dissatisfied with Hakamada Kusuke.

After all, she knew very well that Anna Hachiman had spent a whole day preparing for tonight's 'date'.

However, while she was dissatisfied, she became even more curious.

"Why is Xingcai Jiang so late? Is she... with other friends?"

"Yes, yes, it's... a classmate of mine! And a friend from a club! Today we went to Pantages bakery for dorayaki, went to LUMINE EST to shop for discounted women's clothing, and went to Shinjuku's most famous live house to see a band perform, and he even jumped onto the stage..."

At this moment, Anna Hanami was more fickle than the weather in June. One second she was still angry with Sosuke Hakamada for standing her up, but the next second, when Kitagawa Yu was mentioned, she couldn't help but smile happily again, becoming more and more excited as she talked.

This made Ogasang, who was standing to the side, look rather strange.

It seems that in her memory, Anna Hanami has never shown such a happy smile when mentioning any boy.

Even Hakamada Sosuke didn't have it.

After all, since starting junior high school, apart from going to and from school together, Hakamada Sosuke has never taken the initiative to find Hanami Anna again.

Even when it came to going to and from school every day, it was Anna Hachimi who took the initiative to find Sosuke Hakamada.

She, as the old lady, had seen it all.

so......

"Damn it! I want to confirm again, the 'he' that Apricot Sauce mentioned, it should be a boy, right?"

Chapter 85 The Dao Heart Lost?

"Yeah! 'He' refers to a boy, doesn't he?"

Anzu, whose train of thought was interrupted, was taken aback for a moment before speaking out instinctively.

After she finished speaking, she realized why Ogasang had asked that question, and her fair and tender face flushed red with embarrassment.

However... running away at this point would only make one seem suspicious.

So even though she was inexplicably shy, she still tried to remain calm and explained seriously, "We're just very good friends... um... good friends! Don't overthink it!"

Then, under Ogasan's ambiguous gaze, she braced herself and continued the topic she hadn't finished, stopping Yoshida Ginjiro and inviting them to perform at the Live House. She even offered them a high percentage of the profits, embellishing the story that she, as a 'keyboardist, drummer, and guitarist,' could also earn money, and that she would receive 200 yen for every ticket sold.

This finally managed to shift Ogasang's attention slightly to the performance.

"What a coincidence! It seems that this 'good friend' that Xingcai-chan recently met is a very talented, gentle, and considerate young man, and quite handsome as well~"

When Banai saw Anzu nod hurriedly like a chick pecking at rice upon hearing this, she realized something was wrong after she finished nodding.

"Yu... Kitagawa-kun is indeed very talented, but how do you know he's gentle, considerate, and handsome?" Hachina asked Anzu, puzzled.

"So that boy's name is Kitagawa Yu?" Anzu's mother then said with a smile, "To be able to consider that Anzu doesn't have much pocket money and loves to eat, and to 'lend' it to Anzu in such a subtle way that it wouldn't hurt her, such a boy is at least much gentler and more considerate than Kusuke-kun."

“That…that’s true!” Seeing Anja hesitate for a moment, Bana quietly agreed.

"And how about being handsome?"

When Hana asked Anna again, unfortunately, Ogasan didn't explain it to her this time.

Because... in Ogasan's eyes, any boy that Hanami Anna 'likes' must be very handsome in his mind.

After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

"Alright, it's getting late, Xingcai-chan should go take a shower and go to bed!"

"......Oh well!"

After exchanging a quick glance, Banai saw that Anzu was still "smart" enough to follow Okasan's "advice," otherwise... what if Okasan continued to press her about her relationship with Kitagawa Yu?

......

......

"Huh? Almost twenty minutes have passed? Yu should be home by now, right?"

Anzu Hachimi ran back to her room upstairs and checked her phone before changing her clothes.

As it turned out, Kitagawa Yu, who had just stepped out of the elevator, sent her a message at that moment, telling her, "I'm home."

This gave her a strange feeling... like she had just eaten a big, freshly baked honey muffin, and she couldn't help but smile sweetly.

Then......

"oh!"

"knew"

"I'm going to take a shower now~"

"Waving.jpg"

"Proud.jpg"

"..."

Kitagawa Yu, who had just arrived at the apartment door and was about to take out his key to open it, suddenly froze.

Thankfully, when Anna sent a smug orange emoji at the end, he would have thought...

"Tadaima~"

"Oh kaaaa! Yuu!"

The dialogue was familiar, but this time Tsukimi Eiko had already taken a bath and changed into her pajamas, so when she ran over... even though she was dressed in light blue, she looked more like a chubby Shiba Inu grinning as she ran to greet her owner when she came home from get off work.

Especially when Kitagawa Yu subconsciously raised his hand to give her a "dog-head pat," she showed no anger or dissatisfaction whatsoever. Instead, she couldn't help but squint her eyes in happiness and comfort, which made Kitagawa Yu chuckle.

At the same time, in that instant their eyes met, the two had already accomplished something with their gazes:

"Why isn't Yingzi-chan asleep yet?"

"Because...because I want to wait for Yu to come back..."

Such a conversation.

So, as Kitagawa Yu withdrew his hand, he directly told her about the invitation he received from Yoshida Ginjiro when he went to the Live House to watch a performance that night, and how he accepted the invitation and planned to prepare for another two or three weeks before performing at the Live House.

This initially surprised Eiko Tsukimi, but then she couldn't help but worry.

"15 tickets! Can we really sell them?"

"Hey, leave the ticket sales to me. Eiko-chan just needs to focus on singing and practicing guitar~"

"But... only two or three weeks? Can I really do it?"

"I'm sure Eiko-chan will be fine, after all, she only spent two or three days practicing 'Sunflower' so well, didn't she?"

Kitagawa Yu once again unleashed his signature move, the head pat, gently patting Tsukimi Eiko's head while comforting her with a lighthearted smile.

Then... with some worry still in her heart, Tsukimi Eiko, like a little girl wearing only a thin shirt in the dead of winter, couldn't help but lean against him.

Most importantly... the two of them are not in the entryway, but on his bed in his bedroom, and he has already taken off his coat, wearing only a thin sweatshirt!

"Cough-cough-"

Kitagawa Yu subconsciously glanced at Tsukimi Eiko's snow-white Devil Fruit and the deep valley between the two Devil Fruits, then quickly and imperceptibly moved to the side.

As a result... this caused Tsukimi Eiko to lose her balance and 'slide' directly into his arms.

"..."

"..."

Their eyes met, and Tsukimi Eiko had already forgotten her worries. Her mind went blank, and under Kitagawa Yu's gaze, she blushed and closed her eyes. Her long, butterfly-like eyelashes trembled gently with her breath, and even the surrounding air seemed to suddenly become hot.
