My daily life in various anime crossovers can't possibly be this sci-fi.

Before Kotori Minami could finish speaking, Maki Nishikino gently knocked on the door.

"The two of you?" Maki said. "I'm taking Honoka for a walk in the yard. We'll be back soon."

“Yes, we understand.” Jiang Jinghua nodded. “Also, don’t use such strange wording. Honoka isn’t an elderly person in an orphanage…”

“They’re not that bad off yet,” Honoka said, peeking out from behind Maki and smiling kindly.

After the two left, Jiang Jinghua and Nan Qinli continued their discussion about Honoka.

“I tend to think that Honoka must have some hidden concerns or difficulties, which is why she deliberately hides her feelings,” Jiang Jinghua sighed. “It’s a pity we can’t find out the specific reason… If only we had some convenient magic like mind-reading…”

……

Honoka's hospitalization did not last long; she was soon confirmed to be safe and discharged.

Muse's activities will continue: but the failure in the Love Live! preliminaries is now an irreversible fact. The second round of preliminaries is about to begin, and the atmosphere in Akihabara is becoming increasingly heated, but all of this has long since become irrelevant to Muse.

"The idol who fainted after singing half a song"—Muse briefly became a hot topic of discussion with this title. However, she soon lost even the right to be talked about in this competition.

……

Otonokizaka Academy, Idol Club Activity Room.

Nico Yazawa lay sprawled on the table, her petite frame curled up in a ball. Her unkempt bangs hung loosely over her forehead, and her slightly unfocused eyes were fixed on the laptop screen in front of her.

It failed.

In a way that is both laughable and pathetic.

"What?! The qualifiers are a piece of cake! If you're so capable, let us play another game before we pass out, you piece of trash strategy!"

"It looks like a hypoglycemic episode. Remember to eat more bananas before going on stage next time, lol!"

Congratulations on breaking the world record for the shortest concert! wwwww

...The homepage displays sarcastic and sarcastic comments.

These comments were made a few days ago; in recent days, even such comments have disappeared.

……

Nico Yazawa gently closed her laptop, then slumped weakly onto the table, remaining motionless.

"Nicole-chan, are you sad right now?"

"Honoka?" Nico looked up at Honoka Kousaka, who had suddenly walked in.

"Hmph, it's not even that I'm sad. Nico, the number one idol in the universe, isn't as fragile as you think!" Yazawa Nico pouted.

Honoka smiled gently: "I don't think there's any need to be sad, because it was completely an accident. If you had performed normally, there wouldn't have been any problems. If you think about it that way, you'll feel a little better, right?"

"...I already told you Nico isn't sad at all, you stupid woman who talks to herself..."

"...But thank you anyway."

"Yes!" Honoka nodded vigorously.

It seems everyone is gradually emerging from the shadow of failure... That's great.

Sure enough, as the team leader, I can at least play a role in this aspect, which is great...

Honoka smiled and turned her head, secretly wiping away a single tear that had quietly dripped from the corner of her eye.

……

Saturday.

I can't keep doing it.

Looking at the physics problems in front of him, Jiang Jinghua chose to put down his pen and close his eyes to ponder.

Since I can't help but think about Honoka anyway... I might as well focus on thinking about things related to Honoka.

Why is Honoka hiding her feelings from her closest friend?

Even Kotori and Umi are at a loss, so what can I do about this?

After all, what could someone like me, who was only a nodding acquaintance of hers, possibly do to help her?

……

Just then.

A certain image came to mind.

That happened on a hillside in another dimension.

That was where his friendship with the Nine Muses began.

At that time, the girl with short orange hair, with a pure and innocent smile, confidently made a bold declaration:

"I want to become a school idol and make everyone smile their best!"

Even now, in Jiang Jinghua's memory, the girl's smile remains as clear as if it were yesterday.

……

A sudden flash of inspiration struck Jiang Jinghua's silent mind. He seemed to understand.

I understand the reason behind Honoka Kousaka's actions.

Damn it... what is this...?

Jiang Jinghua burst out laughing because he found it absurd.

Someone as stupid as her... is simply beyond saving.

To think... for such a ridiculous reason...

"But even in this situation, I still have a way to help her," Jiang Jinghua thought confidently. An unprecedented courage and determination filled Jiang Jinghua's heart.

Maki Nishikino was right back then... There are indeed some things that only I can do.

Only someone as insignificant as me could do that.

Jiang Jinghua immediately stood up, changed his clothes, and rushed out of the house as fast as he could, heading towards the nearest tram stop. His destination was Sui Village: the wagashi (Japanese sweets) shop run by Honoka's family.

He's going to Honoka Kousaka's house now, and he'll settle this problem there.

He does things in a way that only he can do.

The sensitive word censorship rules for "masturbation cat" are something only a brain-degraded jerk could come up with (I'm sure of it).

Chapter 103 Author's Note on the Launch

Yes, that's right, this book is now available.

Now that I've written over 200,000 words, it's only natural to put it on the shelves, right?

This book has encountered many setbacks as it has come to this point due to my personal reasons.

I doubt many of the collections are still active now... so let's just leave it at single digits.

I've been quite busy with family matters lately, so I can't really talk about adding more chapters. As for voting, donations, subscriptions, and the like, please just leave it to fate. Anyway, a writer like me, whose brain often goes blank, doesn't have the right to ask for so much.

From now until the start of the school term, barring unforeseen circumstances, I will maintain two updates a day.

The recent plot has reached a rather important point... If there are any living people out there, they probably wouldn't mind spending a few cents to subscribe, right?

that's all.

Section 104, Chapter 103: After Shedding the Shell of "Miracle" (Part 1)

When Jiang Jinghua realized he should call Honoka to check if she was available to receive guests, the Honoka sign was already about three meters above his head. Jiang Jinghua took out his phone and dialed Honoka's number.

"Hello? What's up?"

"I was wondering if Honoka is currently available to meet with guests?"

"It's convenient, but..."

"There are some things I'd like to talk to you about."

"I see," Honoka said on the other end of the phone. "Can't we talk on the phone?"

"It would be best if we could talk in person. I'm downstairs at your place right now."

"Huh? What is this?!" Honoka on the other end of the phone was taken aback and became somewhat incoherent.

Jiang Jinghua said, "I would be very grateful if you could spare a little time to talk to me. Of course, it's fine if you don't intend to waste your time with me..."

Honoka remained silent for a long time on the other end of the phone.

"Come in," Honoka said in a flat tone.

So, Jiang Jinghua, having hung up the phone, naturally went into Honoka's house.

The house has two floors: the lower floor serves as both a shop and a living room, while the upper floor contains living quarters. The lower floor is simply decorated in a traditional Japanese style. Jiang Jinghua casually found a table in the shop and sat down, greeting Honoka's mother at the counter.

"Oh, it's Jiang."

Before Jiang Jinghua could introduce himself, Honoka's mother, Kinuho Kousaka, seemed to have already recognized him.

"Are you here to see Honoka?" Before Jiang Jinghua could respond, she asked quickly, "Ha, you're really lucky. The child's father is out buying materials and won't be back for a while. He's always been quite disapproving of Honoka associating with boys from other schools, you know?"

"Oh, I see..." Jiang Jinghua suddenly felt a cold sweat break out on his brow for no apparent reason.

"Well, I don't think it's a big deal." Kinu smiled kindly. "Honoka-chan has mentioned you a lot before. I personally feel that you don't seem like a bad person... so please don't be too reserved."

"Well, thank you so much, Auntie." Jiang Jinghua bowed slightly to Kosaka Kinu.

To be honest, I didn't even bother to consider what Honoka's parents thought of me before I came here... Luckily, Aunt Kousaka seems to be a fairly open-minded type...

Just then, sparse footsteps sounded on the upper floor.

Honoka Kousaka slowly walked down from upstairs, wearing a loose T-shirt and capri pants.

She walked to the table where Jiang Jinghua was sitting, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
