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

He's the kind of 'famous second-generation star' who gets recognized and asked for photos by girls from other schools just by walking down the street, and he has over 100,000 followers on Instagram.

As for the other one, it would of course be Narumi Seina, who is even more popular than Wakaba Mutsu.

As the most popular teenage model in the past two years, Narumi Sena's Instagram account has over 600,000 followers, which is quite high in Japan.

Otherwise, Anja Hachimi, who usually pays more attention to food, wouldn't have recognized Seina Narumi at a glance during the entrance ceremony.

However, Narumi Senna's Instagram account is entirely managed by her agency, and her own private account doesn't have many followers.

So it wasn't until she went to the agency after school this afternoon that she successfully persuaded her agent to use her own main account to help promote the product, risking losing followers because the person she recommended was a boy.

The number of plays for Kitagawa Yu's two songs, as well as the number of followers on the band's homepage, has surged since just twenty minutes ago, and it will continue to surge in the future.

As for the situation that Narumi Sena's manager, Akizuki Ritsuko, was worried about, there was no sign of it at all.

Not only is the lead singer of the White Sand Band, Tsukimi Eiko, a woman, but the two songs themselves are also incredibly beautiful.

As a result, most of Narumi Sena's fans didn't realize that she was helping to attract traffic; they thought she simply heard two really good songs and shared them with them.

It has to be said that most fans are still quite innocent when it comes to their idols.

"I told you there was no need to worry!"

During a break from dance practice, with a water bottle in one hand and her phone in the other, Narumi Sena was even happier to see the White Sand Band's data skyrocketing than seeing her own Instagram followers increase. She couldn't help but proudly say this to Akizuki Ritsuko.

Normally, the observant Ritsuko Akizuki would have definitely noticed the 'something' in Narumi Sena's tone and expression.

But now...

"Yes, you're right. These two songs are indeed very good, much better than the songs our agency spent a lot of money to acquire for you. Especially 'Horizon,' even for top composers in the industry, it's an absolute gem..."

Ritsuko Akizuki pushed up her black-rimmed glasses with her fingers, looked into Sena Narumi's eyes and said, "Didn't you ask your classmate if she has any other songs? If she does, and the quality is up to the level of 'Sunflower,' the agency can definitely buy them at industry prices and give them to you to sing."

"Eh? You want me to ask Kitagawa-kun if there are any other songs?" Narumi Sena was stunned for a moment, then instinctively picked up her water glass with both hands, opened her mouth and gently bit the straw, her eyes becoming evasive.

Not to mention, she didn't want to go to Kitagawa Yu with such a utilitarian purpose. She hadn't even figured out how to greet Kitagawa Yu yet!

Unaware of the situation, Akizuki Ritsuko looked at her strangely: "Is there a problem? Aren't you classmates?"

"Yes, yes! We're classmates! Well... I'll give it a try..."

“??”

Ritsuko Akizuki looked puzzled. She was just asking if there were any other songs, and if so, if she could buy them. Why was Sena Narumi acting so guilty?

And isn't this just a matter of a few words?

What does "give it a try" mean?

"Okay, I'm going to continue practicing my dance now!"

Feeling guilty, Narumi Sena didn't give her a chance to ask further questions. After finishing her sentence, she quickly put down her water glass, turned around, and fled back to the dance studio.

This left Ritsuko Akizuki, who had been single since her M-pregnancy, completely bewildered once again.

However, after listening absentmindedly for most of the class, Kitagawa Yu finally discovered the 'truth' in the comments section of the tweet on Instagram.

"Huh? So it was because Narumi posted on Instagram that I got so many listeners?"

Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but picture Narumi Sena's slender and delicate figure in his mind.

And there were those golden hairs that reflected a rainbow of colors in the sunlight, and the school uniform skirts that swayed gently in the spring breeze.

It blends silently with the azure sky above, the tram platform marked by the passage of time, and the cherry blossom petals that seem to drift down from nowhere.

Like a painting by a master, it evokes a sense of unparalleled beauty.

"But why would she use her Instagram account to drive traffic to my site for free?"

After casually searching for Narumi Sena's Instagram account and politely following her back, a new question immediately popped into his head.

"Was it because other classmates shared it, so she casually shared and recommended it out of consideration for them, or...?"

Why do they always seem to meet at the same time, on a tram platform where it's just the two of them, and then ride the same tram?

Chapter 111 Compromise Solution

Upon reflection, Kitagawa Yu suddenly felt that this tacit understanding, which she didn't know could be called fate, was quite wonderful.

But then... would he have to take the initiative to break this relationship and greet Narumi Sena and say thank you?

To be fair, while Narumi Sena isn't some unapproachable, aloof beauty, but rather quite kind, well-behaved, sweet, and adorable, he actually quite wants to maintain this unspoken understanding.

"But what if I'm just overthinking things, and they just casually recommended me out of friendship? It would seem rude of me not to thank them..."

So, after a slight hesitation, Kitagawa Yu finally came up with a 'compromise': to find an opportunity to thank Narumi Sena in the classroom, and as for riding the train together at the station... well, that would be up to fate.

Putting away his phone, Kitagawa Yu, having solved the case, refocused his attention on what the teacher had been saying.

Then... unsurprisingly, I became the only one in the class who was paying attention in class.

As for why the other students in the class weren't paying attention... well, it's because they were so shocked and envious of seeing the numbers for Kitagawa Yu's two songs explode that they were about to explode.

It's like this: everyone was originally an outer disciple, but because they joined earlier, they have a sense of superiority over Kitagawa Yu, a newcomer, and feel that their cultivation is higher than Kitagawa Yu's.

As a result, Kitagawa Yu only trained for a few days before defeating a powerful inner disciple in the end-of-month assessment by directly challenging him in the arena, overcoming a gap in skill and power.

Then, his talent was recognized by the sect elders, who directly promoted him to a true disciple.

Having witnessed all of this, it would be a miracle if they could calm down and listen attentively in such a short time.

Unfortunately, no matter how envious they are or how upset they are, it's useless.

The music industry is like a fantasy cultivation world; getting started early doesn't necessarily mean you're good at it. Talent and comprehension are the most important factors.

Although they were just one of the less successful people in the industry, they still had the necessary appreciation skills. Therefore, they knew very well what level of work "Horizon" was, and they also knew how amazing Kitagawa Yu's talent was in writing "Horizon".

Without exaggeration, in a fantasy or cultivation world, that would be an absolute combination of innate Dao body and maxed-out comprehension. As long as he doesn't falter later on, he's definitely destined to be an emperor!

So while feeling envious and jealous, many people's minds also gradually became more active.

If their talent can't compare to Kitagawa Yu's, does that mean they've been in the music industry for so many years... and their social skills and experience in eating, drinking, and having fun are inferior?

So, during breaks, Kitagawa Yu's seat was once again surrounded by a group of blond and green-haired boys with ingratiating smiles on their faces.

Even though Kitagawa Yu knew that it was broad daylight and these people probably wouldn't do anything to him, he still felt a strong sense of unease, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

"Hey Kitagawa-kun, are you free after school tonight? We know a great spot where lots of pretty high school girls hang out at night, and since we're rockers, we don't have to pay! With Kitagawa-kun's charm, you could easily snag three or four at once~"

"Thank you, but no thanks. I'm not interested in those high school girls!"

"Huh? Kitagawa-kun doesn't like girls? Boys are fine too, I know a bar—"

Before the other person could finish speaking, Kitagawa Yu already had a row of black lines on his forehead, and he almost couldn't help but swear.

"Please don't misunderstand! My orientation is perfectly normal! I just feel that my time is very precious and I don't want to waste it on these boring things! So I appreciate everyone's kindness, but please make way, I need to go to the restroom."

After saying that, Kitagawa Yu simply reached out and gently pushed to both sides, clearing away the group of obviously weaklings and creating an opening large enough for him to pass through, thus escaping their encirclement.

"This... haha... Kitagawa-kun is still so studious~"

After a brief exchange of glances, the group of blond and green-haired men behind him quickly resumed their laughing and joking manner, each speaking in turn:

"Yes, yes, Kitagawa-kun has always loved studying, hasn't he?"

"Since Kitagawa-kun isn't going, we'll go by ourselves."

"Kato, is that place you mentioned that has 'free' high school girls...?"

"..."

Amidst the laughter and chatter, it seemed that no one took Kitagawa Yu's earlier rejection to heart.

Although some of them might harbor resentment towards Kitagawa Yu out of envy and jealousy, they are clearly not stupid or foolish for being willing to spend money to attend classes here, and they certainly wouldn't speak ill of Kitagawa Yu in front of others.

And to be honest, as one of the people who haven't been doing so well in the industry, they've experienced countless rejections, let alone being openly mocked and looked down upon.

Compared to those, this rejection is nothing at all!

Kitagawa Yu was well aware that the adult world was all about respecting the strong, and he was also well aware of the Japanese people's inherent tendency to admire the strong. Therefore, he was not worried at all that his refusal would offend them, or what trouble would follow if he did.

What's more... these people actually dared to question his sexual orientation!

Putting aside Himegami Karen and Hachimi Anna, just having a well-behaved, sensible, sweet, and adorable 'roommate' like Tsukimi Eiko, he would have to be crazy to like a man.

As for those sexy, beautiful, and skilled high school girls, in his opinion, they are not worthy of being compared with Tsukimi Eiko at all.

Therefore, he felt that he had already been very restrained and polite by simply maintaining 'basic manners'.

"Speaking of which, Eiko-chan should be very happy right now, right?"

Thinking of Tsukimi Eiko sitting in front of the computer, constantly refreshing the band's homepage, watching the number of followers and views rise rapidly, and her adorable appearance rolling around on the bed with happiness and excitement, Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but smile, and his mood became cheerful.

"Although I haven't had a chance to tell Eiko-chan that the band is already full, I hope... Eiko-chan won't be angry, right?"

"I had sukiyaki last night, so I didn't get to try the new dish that Eiko-chan learned. I should be able to tonight, right?"

"If I have to go to school at 7:30 tomorrow morning, I don't know if Eiko-chan will be able to get up. If she can't, should I wake her up or not?"

The excuse of going to the restroom was just that—an excuse. After leaving the classroom, Kitagawa Yu walked to the window and looked out at the colorful neon lights under the night sky, his mind filled with thoughts of Tsukimi Eiko's innocent smile.

Until I got home after school.

Eiko Tsukimi, who had already changed into a maid outfit, ran over to him with her usual happy and joyful smile as she heard the door open, saying "Welcome back."

The smile in his heart overlapped with the smile in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel an indescribable warmth, emotion, and...heart flutter!

He wanted to pull Tsukimi Eiko into his arms and kiss her cherry lips, which looked even sweeter and more delicious than strawberry ice cream.

However, after taking a deep breath, he managed to suppress the impulse and simply smiled and patted Tsukimi Eiko's head.

Chapter 112 How can it be so cute!

"Yes, I'm back~"

The gentle voice and smile, combined with the powerful head pat, made Tsukimi Eiko, who was unaware that she had almost taken Kitagawa Yu to the next level, squint her eyes comfortably, and her smile turned into an even cuter 'Shiba Inu silly smile'.

In fact, because of her experiences growing up, she has always been a very easily satisfied girl.

As long as there is no 'regression in intimacy', she will feel very happy and satisfied.

So... after Kitagawa Yu lowered his hand, she immediately and skillfully reached out and hugged Kitagawa Yu's arm.

Then, using her slender, soft hands, along with the two Devil Fruits, she formed the most stable triangular seal, firmly sealing Kitagawa Yu's arm.
