Crossover Anime: This is not pure love at all

The guitar sound was a bit far away, so it wasn't very clear.

But thanks to the newly acquired [perfect pitch and mastery of all instruments].

Kuroe Minoru immediately recognized the tune.

It's a rock song that's quite difficult. Although the playing was a bit clumsy, you could tell that the player's basic skills were actually very solid. It's just that for some reason, they couldn't perform to their full potential.

"Old school building...guitar..."

When these keywords were put together, a pink figure immediately appeared in Kuroe Minoru's mind.

He followed the sound and walked over quietly.

Through the half-open door of the abandoned storage room, Kuroe Minoru could see what was inside.

It really was Goto Ichiri.

Kuroe Minoru's lips twitched.

He remembered that in the original story, Poch's guitar skills were exceptional.

However, because of social anxiety and the habit of playing guitar alone in the closet, I can't play well in public.

Could it be that Pochi... wants to practice at school?

……

Pochi was currently huddled in the darkest corner of the storage room, clutching a black electric guitar.

Her long pink hair hung down, covering most of her face, and her fingers mechanically plucked the strings of the piano.

"Waaah... No, I still can't play it well..."

Goto Ichiri stopped what she was doing, buried her face in her knees, and let out a desperate wail.

"I can play it perfectly well at home, so why do my fingers just not obey me when I think about someone possibly hearing it..."

"I guess I still can't make friends..."

"I might as well just become a plankton..."

Seeing Goto Ichiri's self-destructive state, Kuroe Minoru couldn't help but find it both amusing and heartbreaking.

This level of social anxiety is truly hopeless.

Kuroe composed himself and gently pushed open the door to the storage room.

"Squeak—"

The old wooden door emitted a harsh scraping sound.

"Alas!"

In an instant, Goto Ichiri sprang up from the ground like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, staring at the doorway in terror.

"Who, who's there?! I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry! I'll leave right away!"

"It's me, Goto-kun."

Kuroe Minoru walked into the storage room, trying to make her voice sound as soft as possible.

"Ah... Kuro-E-kun..."

Upon recognizing the newcomer as Kuroe Minoru, Goto Ichiri breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his body remained tense.

"You... how did you get here?"

"I'm a disciplinary committee member, and I patrol the campus every day after school."

Kuroe pointed to the armband on her left arm, then her gaze fell on the electric guitar in her arms.

"I just heard guitar playing outside, and it was really good!"

"Why?!"

Upon hearing Kuroe Minoru's praise, Goto Ichiri was not pleased at all. Instead, she seemed to have been greatly frightened, and her face turned deathly pale instantly.

"It sounds good? He actually said it's good?!"

"But I clearly played something that sounded like a dissertation defense!"

"Was he... mocking me?"

"Or is it... because the lunchbox I delivered today was so awful, that he came all this way to settle the score and humiliate me with this sarcastic remark?!"

Goto Ichiri began to fantasize in her mind's little theater, already imagining Kuroe Minoru's face changing the next second, angrily scolding her for making noise!

Then they sank her into Tokyo Bay to feed the fish.

"I'm so sorry!"

Goto Ichiri suddenly did a dogeza (a deep, prostrate position), slamming his forehead heavily onto the floor with a dull thud.

"I...I know the bento boxes I made taste terrible!"

"I really didn't mean to poison your sense of taste! Please forgive me!"

Kuroe Minoru: "..."

you're right.

Making fried chicken sweet is truly the act of a beast.

I even tried to find an excuse for you, saying you turned salt into sugar!

You sweet fried chicken devil!

Although he was already internally contemplating turning into a demon and tying up Pochi to the bottom of the sea to be fed to the fish, Kuroe Minoru forced a gentle smile onto his face.

"Goto-kun, please get up. I really didn't dislike your lunchbox."

Kuroe Minoru reluctantly stepped forward, wanting to help her up.

"No! You don't need to comfort me!"

Goto Ichiri lay face down on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

"It must be because the bento I brought was too cheap and couldn't possibly repay your life-saving kindness, that's why you came all the way to find me, right?!"

"I...I understand!"

Goto Ichiri seemed to have suddenly made up her mind, and abruptly raised her head, pulling a small pink wallet out of her pocket.

With trembling hands, she emptied all the coins and bills from her wallet, even a supermarket discount coupon from a hidden compartment, and presented it to Kuroe Minoru with both hands.

"This...this is all my money! It's three thousand five hundred yen..."

"If that's still not enough... I... I can give you my guitar too!"

"This guitar was a gift from my dad. It's a bit old, but... but..."

At this point, Goto Ichiri's tears flowed even more freely.

"Calm down!"

Kuroe Minoru finally couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed Goto Ichiri's shoulder, and forcibly pulled her up from the ground.

With a strong and forceful press from Kuroe Minoru, Goto Ichiri froze instantly.

Her pupils dilated instantly.

"I've been seen through!"

"No wonder he's a disciplinary committee member who can kick delinquents away with one kick! He's practically a top-tier expert in the underworld! He saw through my lie immediately! He knows I have hidden assets!"

"Kuroe... is a master."

Thinking of this, Goto Ichiri was terrified, and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.

"Waaaaah—I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have lied to you!"

Kuroe Minoru was completely bewildered by her sudden breakdown, her face blank: "Huh? Lie? What lie?"

"Those things aren't actually all my possessions..."

Goto Ichiri cried her eyes out, and if Kuroe Minoru hadn't been holding her shoulders, she probably would have turned into a pink slime and collapsed on the ground.

"Please, please don't harm my family! Don't sink my parents and Erli into Tokyo Bay! I'll give them everything!"

As he spoke, Kuroe Minoru looked on in surprise.

Suddenly, Goto Ichiri pulled out a heavy pink piggy bank from somewhere!

"This...this contains all the New Year's money I've saved since I was little...it's...it's my dowry!"

Goto Ichiri raised the piggy bank high above his head with both hands, closed his eyes tightly, and shouted:

"I'll give you everything, including my dowry! Please spare my family!"

"..."

In the empty, abandoned storage room, the girl's mournful cries echoed.
