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

There was no loosening of the handle until Kitagawa Yu put down his schoolbag and went to the sink to wash his hands.

"Alright, now you can bring out your newly learned dishes, right?"

"Uh-huh!"

After Kitagawa Yu washed his hands and sat down at the table, Tsukimi Eiko finally took out the 'secret dish' that had been prepared earlier but hidden away.

Then......

Kitagawa Yu looked at the familiar red and yellow colors, and a strange look flashed involuntarily in his eyes. He almost spat out the miso soup he had just drunk.

"Tomato and egg rice bowl!?"

"Huh? Has Yu tried this dish before?"

"Hmm...I've eaten."

And they ate quite a lot!

Kitagawa Yu silently added in his mind.

"Hey You, come and try what I made! I saw that video blogger said it's one of the most popular Chinese dishes!"

"I feel like she's lying to you. After all, in terms of taste alone, there's not much difference between scrambled eggs with tomatoes and omelet rice with ketchup on top," Kitagawa Yu muttered to himself.

Then, under the expectant gaze of Tsukimi Eiko, she picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and put it in her mouth.

"Mmm...it's delicious...to be precise...this is probably the best omelet...tomato and egg rice bowl I've ever had!"

Kitagawa Yu took a small sip, then smiled sincerely and praised it.

While the taste of the tomato and egg rice bowl made by Tsukimi Eiko was just average, it wasn't particularly bad, but it wasn't particularly delicious either.

In fact, Kitagawa Yu couldn't figure out exactly what made scrambled eggs with tomatoes "delicious," since it was just a very simple home-cooked dish.

However, if the person who made this dish was Eiko Tsukimi, then the taste would be completely different. What was originally just an ordinary tomato and egg rice bowl would become incredibly delicious.

"Eh? Really?"

Eiko Tsukimi subconsciously tugged at her apron and spun around. Even though they had done more intimate things more than once, she still couldn't help but blush after being praised by Yu Kitagawa. She looked so cute.

How can there be such a lovely girl in this world!

While thinking this to himself, Kitagawa Yu affirmed earnestly, "Of course it's true!"

Then, perhaps realizing that what he said was a bit untrue, he added, "Everyone's tastes are different, and the taste and feeling are different too. For example, some people prefer milder flavors, while others prefer stronger ones... So, Yingzi's tomato and egg rice bowl is the best tomato and egg rice bowl I've ever had!"

"Oh......"

Eiko Tsukimi lowered her eyes and responded softly, a shy blush involuntarily spreading across her fair cheeks.

She's a bit simple-minded, not stupid. How could she not understand Kitagawa Yu's 'direct' 'hint'?

The problem is... Kitagawa Yu didn't actually want her to realize it!

All those extra explanations he gave were just to make Tsukimi Eiko believe that what she made was really delicious and suited her taste perfectly!

"However... as a carnivore, I think it might taste even better if we added some beef, or simply replaced the eggs with beef."

Sensing that the atmosphere was getting increasingly awkward, Kitagawa Yu could only add another sentence in a serious tone, but the effect did not seem to be very good.

“Then I’ll do as Yu says next time…” Tsukimi Eiko said obediently, like a little maid waiting for her master’s favor.

Her voice was soft and sweet, making people feel a little itchy and their heartbeats became a little irregular.

Now, in order to finish his dinner in peace and not fall into an unknown abyss after only a couple of bites, Kitagawa Yu could only cough twice and somewhat awkwardly change the subject.

"Oh, by the way, two girls came to our school today, wanting to form a band with me. I've seen them perform before, and I think they're pretty good. Plus, they seem easy to get along with, so I'm planning to check them out..."

Sure enough, as soon as the topic of the band came up, especially when she heard that two girls had gone to Kitagawa Yu's school specifically to find him, Tsukimi Eiko immediately forgot all about being shy.

"Huh? A girl has already gone to find Yu? How could it be so fast?"

"???"

Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but blink, almost giving a confused look.

Is the key point of this matter 'why would a girl come looking for him so quickly'?

Shouldn't the focus of this matter be on who those two girls are, what their personalities are like, what positions they hold, and what their abilities are?

Seeing that Tsukimi Eiko looked a little unhappy, Kitagawa Yu felt it was his duty to steer the conversation back on track.

He continued, "Those two girls came after they heard the song I performed at the Shinjuku LOFT last Saturday. They asked the manager for my school's name and that's how they found me... I plan to have them temporarily serve as keyboardist and bassist in the band."

"Huh? Keyboardist? What about Yu?"

"I plan to be the lead guitarist, so that Eiko-chan can just focus on singing and won't have to work so hard."

"Which road is more or less!"

After hearing this, Tsukimi Eiko first realized what was going on, and then, upon learning that Kitagawa Yu had given up his keyboardist position to become a guitarist because he didn't want to work so hard, she felt a surge of sweetness and emotion.

The faint lemon scent that I had previously noticed in Toyokawa Shoko and Wakaba Mutsu also vanished without a trace.

"When will we start training together?" Tsukimi Eiko asked curiously.

"If all goes well, it should be ready by this Sunday. By the way, I need to go to school early every morning to teach the two students who want to join the band how to play the drums and guitar, so I have to leave at 7:15."

"Huh? So early! What about breakfast...?"

Perhaps it was because they were classmates and club members, or perhaps it was because they had just been moved by Kitagawa Yu.

Eiko Tsukimi wasn't jealous at all about Kitagawa Yu getting up early to teach Himegami Karen and Hanami Anna. Just as Kitagawa Yu had predicted, she was a little worried about whether she could get up.

"or--"

"No! I know I can get up!"

Before Kitagawa Yu could finish saying "or else," Tsukimi Eiko clenched her little fists, her eyes filled with determination and fighting spirit, and blurted out.

Then, subconsciously, for the nth time, she earnestly and quietly defended herself for not being able to get out of bed, saying, "When I was at home, I really did get up at 5:30 every morning to do housework and make breakfast for my parents!"

"I've never slept in, not even on weekends."

"I couldn't get up before because... I hadn't adjusted to the time difference yet... but I've adjusted now, so it's definitely fine!"

Hmm... if it weren't for Tsukimi Eiko's voice getting softer and softer, and her increasingly guilty tone, Kitagawa Yu might have actually believed that there really was a time difference between Tokyo and Kyoto~

However, considering that Tsukimi Eiko was rather shy, Kitagawa Yu suppressed a laugh and said softly, "I also believe that Eiko-chan has already adjusted to the time difference and definitely won't have trouble getting out of bed again~"

"But you don't need to get up as early as 5:30. Just get up at 6:50 to have breakfast with me."

"Dinner at home is made by Yingzi-chan, so please continue to leave breakfast to me!"

The gentle words were like a spring breeze across a calm lake, causing a slight ripple to appear in Tsukimi Eiko's clear eyes.

Especially when she heard Kitagawa Yu casually mention "home" and "have breakfast with me," she was deeply touched once again.

"Hmm... I'll listen to Yu... and get up at 6:50..."

Filled with a complex and inexplicable emotion, Tsukimi Eiko couldn't help but sniffle hard, lowered her head, and dared not look Kitagawa Yu in the eye, and whispered.

Then... a sudden thought flashed through her mind, and blushing, she continued softly, "But if I accidentally can't get up by myself... Yuu, you absolutely have to come and wake me up... because... because I also want to be able to have breakfast with Yuu every day..."

Chapter 113: A Three-Person Battle Plan and Two Actors' Showdown

People often think that love has a magical power that makes both parties lose their IQ, especially girls, who are more likely to become fools in love.

However, in Tsukimi Eiko's case, the magic of love seems to have taken a turn for the worse.

Kitagawa Yu's affections didn't make Tsukimi Eiko any dumber; on the contrary, they seemed to evolve her, making her smarter and braver.

For example, at this moment, when Tsukimi Eiko raised her head again at the end, she looked like a sunflower wanting to embrace the sun. Although she was filled with nervousness and shyness, she still looked bravely into Kitagawa Yu's eyes with an expectant gaze.

Even though Kitagawa Yu had already guessed her little scheme before she finished listening, and knew that she was 'plotting something against her,' he was still touched by her gaze and had no desire to refuse her.

"It's settled then~"

After a brief moment of distraction, Kitagawa Yu smiled as if making a promise, and then carefully treasured it in his heart, along with the radiant smile that bloomed on Tsukimi Eiko's lips at that moment.

And then... it was clear that Tsukimi Eiko wouldn't be able to get up and eat breakfast on time the next morning.

Although it was only 11 o'clock, she obediently returned to her room and went to bed after taking a shower.

But once she lay down on the bed, she rolled around in the blankets just like when she first moved in.

Her mind kept replaying the scene of her watching anime with Kitagawa Yu on the laptop, her arm around Kitagawa Yu's and her head resting on his shoulder, and then she was thinking about the 'battle plan' for tomorrow morning.

My heart is filled with a mix of emotions: happiness, sweetness, nervousness, and anticipation. Even without deliberately staying up all night, I still can't fall asleep.

Even so, her brilliant battle plan did not succeed completely. She only received Kitagawa Yu's 'wake-up service' and did not receive Kitagawa Yu's 'good morning kiss' as she had imagined.

Because... Kitagawa Yu didn't even wait for her to fully wake up from her dazed state before he used his Flash to create distance.

By the time she sat up and her mind finally cleared up a bit, Kitagawa Yu was already almost out of her room!

"Huh? This isn't quite what I planned..."

Eiko Tsukimi blinked blankly, and after watching Kitagawa Yu leave, she sat on the bed and pondered for a minute or two before finally realizing the huge flaw in her battle plan, and couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"Damn it! I should have fallen asleep earlier last night and woken up earlier this morning!"

She should wake up early, but continue to pretend she's not awake until Kitagawa Yu comes to wake her up, then launch a sneak attack on Kitagawa Yu. This is clearly the most likely way for her battle plan to succeed.

However, her battle plan was partially successful, which was much more successful than the battle plans prepared by Narumi Sena and Shiina Mahiru.

I'm heading out!

"Huh? Why are you leaving so early today?"

"I need to go to school a little early because I have something to do."

"Alright... then remember to be careful on the road!"

"Okay! I understand~"

Because Narumi Sena, who rarely uses her acting skills at home, deliberately brought out her best performance today, even Narumi Moe, who knows her best, didn't think much of it at this moment, and just told her to be careful on the road as usual.

Then, Narumi Sena, who hopped and skipped through the corridor, stood foolishly in front of the elevator, just like a little rabbit eagerly waiting for the carrots she had planted to grow quickly.

The time is... 7:40 AM!

A full 25 minutes have passed since Kitagawa Yu left home at 7:15 with his guitar!

However, it's really not fair to blame Narumi Seina for not leaving home early enough.
