Crossover Anime: A Musical Anime - Lighthearted and Enjoyable

Su Shi also realized: "It seems so."

“Yes, that’s why Mu was out alone and ran into me,” Bai Qiu said with a sigh. “Of course, I don’t blame you.”

Immediately, Xiangzi and Su Shi felt a pang of shame.

They're so self-absorbed.

Before, I would contact Mu when I needed something, but now that I don't need anything, I've just ignored Mu.

"I'm so sorry, Mutsu!" Nagasaki Motoyo looked apologetic. She clasped her hands together in front of her chest and said softly to Wakaba Mutsu, "I've been preparing for the band these past few days... and I accidentally neglected you. Let's have lunch together tomorrow?"

Toyokawa Shoko also apologized to Wakaba Mutsu, saying, "I'm sorry, Mutsu, it was our fault."

To this, Ruoye Mu simply nodded slightly: "Yes, it's alright."

Su Shi and Xiangzi did not do it on purpose.

And then there's the fact that Bai Qiu would need her; Mu's lips curled up a few degrees.

After hearing that Bai Qiu had spent the afternoon playing with Mu, Toyokawa Shoko and Nagasaki Motoyo felt a pang of envy.

It seems like none of them have that opportunity.

The two glanced at Bai Qiuhe's bowl; no wonder they were eating so slowly.

It turns out we had eaten together.

"An arcade? I've never been to one before, what's it like inside?" Nagasaki Motoyo smiled, feigning curiosity, then looked at Toyokawa Shoko, "Has Shoko been there?"

"I don't have any either," Toyokawa Shoko shook her head, answering honestly.

When she was still the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family, she almost never had the opportunity to set foot in such places.

She went to karaoke after she first formed Crychic, to help Deng overcome her inability to sing.

Bai Qiu paused slightly as he felt two burning gazes fixed on him.

"I have a photo."

Ruoye Mutsu suddenly spoke while holding her phone.

In the arcade, Bai Qiu and Ruoye Mu naturally took some photos as well.

Nagasaki Motoyo and Toyokawa Shoko immediately put down their bowls and chopsticks and moved closer to Mutsu to examine him closely.

Bai Qiu let out a breath and looked at the three of them, suggesting, "Let's go together next time we have the chance?"

Tonight, Xiangzi called Mu's mother and successfully got Mu to stay overnight.

Around 11 o'clock, Nagasaki Motoyo, a staunch non-night owl, got up to say goodbye and leave.

She had no objection to letting Mu stay overnight at Bai Qiu's house.

Because of this, Xiangzi and Bai Qiu would no longer be alone together.

The probability of something happening between the two is greatly reduced.

After Nagasaki Motoyo left.

Toyokawa Shoko looked at Mutsu, and realized that there were some things she could ask him now.

On the sofa, Toyokawa Shoko's expression turned serious as she spoke to Muto:

"Mu, I'll be forming a new band later, and I'd like to invite you to join as the guitarist."

After asking the question, Toyokawa Shoko showed a hint of embarrassment on her face.

After disbanding one band, they formed another with the intention of making money.

Bai Qiu asked curiously, "Has the proposal been written yet?"

"Yes, it was finished last night." A hint of excitement appeared on Toyokawa Shoko's face.

"Xiang's new band?" Ruoye Mutsu's face showed doubt.

“Yes.” Toyokawa Shoko nodded and added, “This time the band will be doing commercial performances.”

Mu knew about her situation.

Xiangzi had nothing to hide.

Without much thought, Ruo Yemu nodded, only slightly surprised.

"Okay, I want to help Xiang."

Mu seemed a bit arrogant.

Toyokawa Shoko's lips twitched slightly.

But she also understands that Mu is like that, and now she is able to put aside her pride and accept help.

All of this was so that we could form a band as soon as possible and be able to pay off our debts.

Then he confessed his feelings to Bai Qiu.

Thinking of this, Xiangzi smiled slightly and said to Mu, "Okay, thank you, Mu. This time it should be the type of music that Mu likes."

Ruoye Mu nodded slightly, somewhat expectant.

Bai Qiu then asked, "Have you considered candidates for other positions?"

Upon hearing this, Toyokawa Shoko revealed a confident smile and said:

"We've found the lead singer and drummer."

"I've already made initial contact, and the lead singer is basically fine. But I still need to talk to the drummer a bit more. I plan to meet with them after school tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiu smiled congratulatoryly: "Then I wish Xiangzi all the best."

“Okay…” Toyokawa Shoko nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, “Actually, you also know the drummer, Bai Qiu.”

"I know?"

Bai Qiu was surprised.

He already had a guess in his mind about who it was, since he really knew very few drummers.

After eliminating all the impossibilities, there is only one truth.

"Could it be Meow Dream?" Bai Qiu asked, puzzled.

“It’s a cat dream,” Toyokawa Shoko replied.

She discovered Miaomeng through Miaomeng's drumming videos.

Naturally, I also saw Hakushu and Hachiman Kairin in the video.

Upon hearing that it was indeed Miaomeng, Bai Qiu chuckled smugly.

"Oh, is that so? Do you need me and Xiangzi to come with you?" Bai Qiu asked. "I'm free after school."

Xiangzi paused for a moment, then quickly replied, "Okay."

In fact, Xiangzi also had some intention of inviting Bai Qiu to go with him.

As the person closest to Bai Qiu.

Xiangzi knew that Bai Qiu hadn't participated in any band activities this week, and that Bai Qiu seemed quite bored by himself.

She also wanted to find time to spend with Bai Qiu.

And isn't this her opportunity?

Not to mention that when he heard that Bai Qiu had actually spent the whole day with Mu, his competitive spirit was instantly ignited.

Toyokawa Shoko's lips curled up slightly as she looked forward to tomorrow.

As Ruoye Mu watched all this, she pursed her lips slightly.

I almost asked Xiangzi if she could go.

But thinking about my piano lesson after school tomorrow, I had no choice but to give up.

Chapter 172 Chu Hua's Memories

The next afternoon.

Inside a coffee shop, Mikasa Hatsuka sat waiting for Toyokawa Shoko, whom she had arranged to meet today and who was also another friend from her childhood.

Even though it wasn't the agreed time yet, Chu Hua had already arrived at the agreed location ahead of time.

This shows how much she valued this meeting.

Staring intently at the chat history with Bai Qiu over the past few nights on her phone screen, Sanjiao Chuhua looked delighted.

These past few days have felt like a dream to her.

First, she reunited with Bai Qiu, and then Xiangzi, whom she hadn't been in contact with for a long time, also got in touch with her.

As Chu Hua looked at the chat history, she slowly closed her eyes, her thoughts drifting back to her childhood.

This is a tranquil and peaceful island far from bustling Tokyo, adjacent to the vast ocean – Mikawa Island.

The island has a very good ecosystem, and the islanders work at sunrise and rest at sunset, living a very ordinary fishing life, which has been passed down from generation to generation.

The children on the island love to play at the beach; they go beachcombing, catching fish, swimming, and collecting seashells...

But Chu Hua had no interest in any of these things.

She loved the stars in the night sky, and she was curious about what life was like outside the island.

Because of her different hobbies compared to other children her age, she felt out of place among them.

So Chuhua didn't have any friends when she was a child.

Just when Chu Hua thought she would be alone forever.

She met Bai Qiu.

Thanks to the island's excellent ecology, many tourists come to visit every summer.

Bai Qiu is one of them.

When they were little, Bai Qiu would take her through the woods to catch rhinoceros beetles in the trees and listen to the cicadas chirping in the summer... As night fell, they would lie together on the soft grass, gazing at the starry sky and admiring the brilliance of the stars...

She would excitedly tell Bai Qiu about her interests, hobbies, and dreams.

Unlike the children on the island who mocked her daydreaming, Bai Qiu listened patiently to her words, her eyes shining with sincerity, and offered her support and encouragement.

Not only that, Bai Qiu would also share with her what city life outside the island was like.

The story of how Bai Qiu met Xiangzi begins after he left.

Like Bai Qiu, Xiangzi was also understanding and willing to listen to her feelings and play with her.

Therefore, for her, Bai Qiu and Xiangzi were like bright stars in the sky, inspiring and supporting her, becoming her spiritual pillars over the years.

Memories flooded her mind like a tide, and Misaka Chuka couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of her mouth.

After saying goodbye to Aiyin and Deng, Bai Qiu headed towards the place he had arranged to meet Xiangzi.

Not long after, Bai Qiu spotted Xiangzi standing downstairs in the teaching building.

She gracefully lifted her schoolbag to her knees with both hands.

Bai Qiu, on the other hand, walked over empty-handed with light steps.

Upon seeing Bai Qiu, Xiangzi's face lit up with a bright smile.

It's Bai Xiang, the Bai from Bai Qiu.

"Xiangzi, shall I help you carry it?"

Xiangzi paused for a moment, then nodded, his face slightly flushed, and handed the schoolbag to Bai Qiu.

The girl handing her bag to the boy—that should be considered a pretty intimate gesture, right? Xiangzi thought to himself.

Bai Qiu took the schoolbag, and she wasn't as particular as Miss Tsukinomori.

He casually slung the bag over his back with one hand.

"Then let's go?"

"Okay." Xiangzi nodded again.

The two walked side by side toward the station, the afterglow of the setting sun shining on them, casting two long shadows on the ground.
