Crossover Anime: Saiyans Starting from Dreams

Qin Chuan said to Kato Megumi with a smile.

"Even supporting a few more people wouldn't be a problem at all. 4.6"

"Achuan's words seem to have a deeper meaning."

Upon hearing this, Kato Megumi stared at Qin Chuan for a while, then let out a snort.

"Forget it, Ah Chuan has already offended so many people anyway..."

In the past few days, Qin Chuan has brought more and more people to lunch. Although Kato Megumi was a little unhappy at first, she has gradually accepted it now.

After having lunch together for several days and chatting for a while, Kato Megumi had become somewhat familiar with Goto Ichiri and Kita Ikuyo, and even exchanged contact information with them.

Besides Qin Chuan, Kato Megumi occasionally chats with Goto Ichiri and Kita Iku on their phones, and they've become friends.

In this situation, it's impossible for Kato Megumi, who is usually easygoing, to drive away Goto Ichiri and Kita Ikuyo.

Chapter 201 Like Stealing a Moment of Sunshine

After lunch, Kita Ikuyo picked up her guitar and struggled to play a very simple etude.

Although Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi didn't know what piece it was, the fact that Kita Ikuyo could play it proved that she had indeed improved.

"Isn't this great? Kita-kun can now play an entire piece of music in one go."

While clapping, Kato Megumi said, "She can't play the guitar, so she genuinely thinks that Kita Ikuyo is already very impressive for being able to play a whole song."

"But he only managed to barely finish one etude..."

Even the usually cheerful Kita Ikuyo seemed a bit dejected when talking about this, as if she wasn't very satisfied with her progress in her studies.

There was nothing she could do; after all, her guitar teacher was Ichiri Goto—a "guitar hero" with a huge following on video websites.

Although Kita Ikuyo has progressed very quickly in just two days, going from a complete novice who couldn't even recognize a guitar to a beginner who can play an etude.

But compared to Goto Ichiri, Kita Ikuyo would have the feeling that "I haven't improved at all."

"Actually... Kita-kun has improved very quickly. I... I practiced for several days before I could play a whole piece..."

Goto Ichiri was probably trying to comfort Kita Ikuyo, but she was so nervous that she spoke haltingly and almost bit her tongue.

Although after a few days of getting to know each other, Goto Ichiri has gradually adapted to the atmosphere of having lunch together with the four of them, her social anxiety is still strong.

Perhaps if they spend a few more days together, Goto Ichiri will be able to speak at a normal pace in a four-person setting.

...provided that no new members are added to the lunch team.

"Speaking of which, Qin Chuan hasn't been to LiveHouse for several days now."

Having received comfort from Ichiri Goto, Ikuyo Kita seemed to be in a slightly better mood, so she quickly shifted the topic to Qin Chuan.

"Ijichi-senpai and Ryo-senpai were talking about this yesterday, saying that you haven't visited them these past few days."

"...I'm not a member of the band, so of course I can't go to a livehouse every day."

Qin Chuan was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this. Why did these people seem to think of him as a member of the End Band when he clearly couldn't play any instruments?

But then I thought about it again, and it was probably because in their hearts, they felt that they and Goto Ichiri were almost inseparable, so they felt that if they didn't go, Goto Ichiri wouldn't be a complete person.

After all, Qin Chuan was present at Goto Ichiri's several actions at the LiveHouse before.

"How about we go to a LiveHouse after school today? I'd like to come along too."

Suddenly, Kato Megumi, who was standing to the side, made the request, with a hint of eagerness on her face.

Over the past two days, she has often heard about the end of the band and the other two members from Kita Ikuyo and Goto Ichiri during lunch, but she has never seen them in person.

So she also had the urge to go and take a look at the LiveHouse where the band had stopped performing—after all, she stayed home after school and didn't have any club activities.

“Great! When Goto and I mentioned Kato earlier, they were also very curious about her.”

Kita Ikuyo, being the most lively member of the team, immediately nodded in agreement.

Then she suddenly realized that Qin Chuan had not yet expressed his opinion, so she quickly looked at Qin Chuan with pleading eyes, as if hoping that Qin Chuan would not refuse.

Goto Ichiri also turned to look at Qin Chuan, blinking as she awaited his answer.

"Alright then, let's go take a look."

Since everyone thought so, Qin Chuan agreed—anyway, he didn't have anything else to do after school today.

However, this situation is also a good thing for Qin Chuan—since their relationship is so good, Qin Chuan doesn't have to worry about them arguing in the future.

……

"Ok?"

After lunch, Qin Chuan saw an unread message on his phone.

After opening it and taking a look, Qin Chuan's expression became somewhat subtle.

"Hey? A-Chuan, aren't you leaving?"

Kato Megumi, having packed up her lunchbox, was about to leave the rooftop with Goto Ichiri and Kita Ikuyo when she noticed that Qin Chuan was still sitting in his chair, not moving.

"Well, I have something to take care of. You guys go ahead."

Qin Chuan smiled at them, and although Kato Megumi and the others were somewhat puzzled, they still obediently left.

Qin Chuan sat in the chair for a few more minutes, and then heard the metal door to the rooftop being gently pushed open.

Although it was clear that the visitor wanted to open the door quietly, the iron door hinges on the rooftop were worn out, so they still made a very obvious creaking sound.

Then Qin Chuan saw Eriri's head, her face flushed, peek out from behind the door, look around the rooftop, and spot Qin Chuan sitting on the bench.

That's right, the unread message Qin Chuan just received was from Eriri.

The message told Qin Chuan to wait for her on the rooftop after lunch, as she wanted to bring him the revised drawing.

To be honest, although it was Qin Chuan's request to see the artwork, he didn't expect Eriri to choose to show it to him at school during lunchtime.

She really isn't afraid that her classmate 230 might accidentally discover the drawings in her schoolbag.

"W-what are you doing? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Upon entering the rooftop, Eriri was immediately startled by Qin Chuan's strange gaze, and her twin tails trembled a few times.

Although he told Qin Chuan to wait for him on the rooftop, now that he's calmed down and thought about it...

A lone man and woman on an empty rooftop, the girl holding a sketchbook and showing it to the boy—isn't this just a perfect sketchbook template?

Eriri, who had read countless books, suddenly panicked. She seemed not to have thought about these issues at all when she sent the message.

Fortunately, Qin Chuan didn't seem to have any intention of fighting on the rooftop; he simply waved to Eriri.

"What are you standing there for? Come here."

Eriri paused for a moment, then instinctively and obediently went over and sat down next to Qin Chuan.

After sitting down, Eriri realized—why did I listen to him?!

"Where's the artwork?"

"Here it is."

Although she seemed to realize that it was a bit wrong for her to listen to Qin Chuan so much, Eriri still obediently took out the drawing after hearing Qin Chuan's request.

Since Qin Chuan held leverage over him, he had no choice but to obey...

Eriri comforted herself in this way, finding a reasonable excuse to listen to Qin Chuan.

Chapter 202 Eriri is addicted.

Qin Chuan looked at Eriri's sketchbook and saw that the quality had indeed improved significantly.

The woman's expression in the drawing became much more vivid, clearly showing that she had learned something after watching Qin Chuan and Irisviel replenish their mana last night.

However, the character designs in the sketches haven't changed much from before—although she learned something from Qin Chuan and Irisviel, Eriri was clearly not foolish enough to draw them into her doujinshi.

"How...how is it?"

Eriri looked at Qin Chuan nervously, waiting for his evaluation.

She finished this drawing overnight, which meant she spent most of this morning catching up on sleep. If it weren't for her classmates covering for her, the teacher would have found out long ago.

Moreover, Qin Chuan was the first to see this drawing; even her mother hadn't seen it.

"There has been great progress; the quality is much better than before."

Qin Chu was naturally generous with his praise. Although Qin Chuan was considered a "normie" by others after his transmigration, his love for otaku culture had not diminished.

Eriri's doujinshi has indeed made great progress in terms of details, and Qin Chuan naturally couldn't lie and criticize it.

"Really? That's good!"

Seeing Qin Chuan praise her, Eriri was overjoyed and couldn't help but smile.

But she soon realized something was wrong—why was she feeling genuinely happy because of Qin Chuan's praise?

She and Qin Chuan had only met yesterday, and she had been forced to show him her drawings only after he had caught her in a compromising situation.

Why does it seem like I'm desperate for Qin Chuan's approval just because I went to his house to observe a real battle yesterday?

"I don't know much about the artist's drawing process, so I can only offer some advice from a reader's perspective."

Qin Chuan didn't notice Eriri's rich inner monologue. He quickly flipped through Eriri's drawings and came up with some suggestions.

Upon hearing this, Eriri quickly suppressed her strange thoughts and listened carefully to Qin Chuan's advice.

……

A dozen minutes later, Eriri put away her sketches with satisfaction.

Although it was indeed a little embarrassing to show a sketchbook to a guy you'd only known for two days, Qin Chuan did offer some useful advice.

"You're such a famous doujinshi artist, didn't you ever listen to your readers' opinions before?"

Seeing Eriri's satisfied expression, Qin Chuan also became a little curious.

Logically speaking, Eriri's pen name "Kashiwagi Eri" is quite famous in the doujinshi world, and she can be considered a well-known illustrator.

With that kind of fame, she must have a lot of people offering suggestions on her doujinshi. I bet a quick online search would reveal many "professional" doujinshi critics giving her feedback.

"The opinions those people raised were basically nitpicking."

Eriri frowned upon hearing this, seemingly dissatisfied with the opinions expressed by the online commentators.

"In the end, they are all just things proposed by people with no practical experience based on their imagination... They have no reference value."

Although there's a saying that "only virgins can write things that make people want to take action," after last night's "study," Eriri still feels that practical experience is also important.

"You talk as if you're some kind of practical expert."

Qin Chuan looked at Eriri with a half-smile—Eri herself was a girl who had never tried anything before, and last night might have been the first time she had ever seen a real mana replenishment scene.

Ultimately, doesn't Eriri basically rely on her own imagination to draw her doujinshi?

"That's different... Can you call it 'imagination' when it comes to the artist's work?"

Eriri blushed, seemingly wanting to refute something, but quickly gave up.

In front of Qin Chuan, I really don't seem to have the right to say anything like "practitioner"—Qin Chuan is the real practitioner in the true sense of the word.

"In short, this notebook should be very well received."

Qin Chuan nodded, stood up from his chair, and prepared to return to the classroom.

The lunch break in Japan isn't very long, only about an hour. After lunch, I spent another ten minutes giving Eriri advice, so there wasn't much time left.

"When your book goes on sale, remember to let me know, and I'll come and support you."

Qin Chuan remembered that Eriri's doujinshi were sold with the help of her parents. He would like to go to the comic convention to see them. He was also quite curious about Eriri's mother, who looked like a sister to her.

"Who asked you to come and support me?!"

Eriri blushed deeply. She even had to get male students from her school to support her drawing. What kind of embarrassing play was this?

Moreover, her books are usually sold with the help of her mother, Sayuri Sawamura. Doesn't that mean Qin Chuan will meet with her mother?

What if Qin Chuan says something he shouldn't in front of her mother? What would she do then? Her mother would probably bombard her with questions.

However, seeing that Qin Chuan seemed to be preparing to leave the rooftop, Eriri quickly said:

"Wait a minute, when is the next time?"
