Crossover Anime: Saiyans Starting from Dreams

"...?"

Qin Chuan stopped in his tracks upon hearing this and turned to look at Eriri.

"What next time?"

"Yeah, the next one... you mean the mana replenishment stuff."

Seeing that Qin Chuan seemed not to understand, Eriri pursed her lips, blushed, and said awkwardly.

Could you give me a rough timeframe?

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan immediately realized what was happening:

"You still want to watch it live?"

To be honest, Qin Chuan's intention in having Eriri come to observe him and Irisviel replenish their mana was simply to tease her. He just didn't expect Eriri to actually come on a whim.

Now that Eriri's doujinshi is finished and her depiction of female expressions has improved, Qin Chuan originally thought that Eriri would no longer think about that kind of thing.

Unexpectedly, Eriri seems to be addicted now, and actually wants to continue watching?

"What? Isn't it possible?"

Eriri blushed deeply, but still stubbornly insisted on her claim.

"...No, if you want to, it's not impossible."

Qin Chuan stroked his chin, looking at Eriri thoughtfully.

How come it feels like Eriri has been led astray by me all of a sudden? She's completely turned into a slutty girl who likes to watch others do weird things.

However, since Eriri wanted to see it so much, Qin Chuan didn't refuse. Who knows, Eriri might lose control of herself while watching.

Anyway, Qin Chuan won't suffer any losses.

"I'll contact you again when it's convenient next time; it shouldn't be too long."

If Qin Chuan wanted, he could replenish mana anytime, and even call Hayasaka Ai over every day.

However, he had made plans to go to a livehouse with other people after school today, so it's definitely not possible for him today, Feng.

Chapter 203 Are you sure it's just the lunch team?

After school, Qin Chuan met up with Kato Megumi, Goto Ichiri, and Kita Ikuyo at the school gate, and then they went to Shinsei LiveHouse in Shimokitazawa together.

Qin Chuan had considered calling his driver to bring his car over, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

Kato Megumi said she wanted to familiarize herself with the subway lines to the LiveHouse so that she could visit Goto Ichiri and Kita Ikuyo whenever she had free time.

Japan's subway and Shinkansen systems have a strange operating model, with different lines operated by different companies, making transfers very complicated.

Kato Megumi was visiting a LiveHouse for the first time, so she wanted to remember the subway transfer routes to make it easier for her next trip—she couldn't have Qin Chuan pick her up every time, could she?

So Qin Chuan accompanied them on the subway this time. Anyway, it wouldn't take too long to get to Shimokitazawa, so it wouldn't be a big deal.

……

"Oh, Qin Chuan! Welcome!"

As Qin Chuan followed the others into the LiveHouse, he was greeted by the cheerful voice of Ichiji Nijika.

Although Ijichi Nijika is also a standard positive-angled character, she has a different style from Kita Ikuyo.

Compared to Kita Ikuyo's pure enthusiasm, Ijichi Nijika makes people feel close to her while also giving them a sense of being cared for.

When Yamada Ryo saw Qin Chuan, he ran over and grabbed Qin Chuan's clothes under everyone's gaze.

Just as everyone was surprised by Yamada Ryo's actions, she suddenly looked up at Qin Chuan and said:

"Qin Chuan, I'm out of money, please help me..."

It seems that Goto Ichiri and Kita Ikuyo did indeed convey Qin Chuan's message, and Yamada Ryo did come in person to ask Qin Chuan for help.

Seeing Yamada Ryo's shameless behavior, everyone couldn't help but facepalm, while Qin Chuan's lips twitched as he asked:

"You don't look too good... So why didn't you message me?"

How to describe Yamada Ryo's current state? He looked like he hadn't eaten for two days. It seems he really did spend all his money on Kita Ikuyo's bass.

As Ijichi Nijika once said, Yamada Ryo's family was actually not poor, but she always spent money recklessly, which resulted in her never accumulating any assets.

You can tell from the fact that she paid for Kita Ikuyo's bass guitar outright that she really spends money lavishly.

While this might have been intended to spare Kita Ikuyo the burden of paying for bass in installments, it's also true that Ichibo bankrupted her.

What puzzled Qin Chuan was that even though Yamada Ryo had changed so much, she hadn't sent him any messages. She should have her own way of contacting him.

"My phone bill is overdue..."

Yamada Ryo's words left everyone speechless. Although they knew Yamada Ryo was short of money, they didn't expect it to be to this extent.

"Then let's find a place to eat nearby and chat."

Seeing Yamada Ryo clinging so tightly to his clothes, as if he were holding onto a meal ticket that might run away at any moment, Qin Chuan could only shrug.

"Ichichi, is everything alright?"

"Ah...it seems like this is the only way. Liang can't practice playing like this."

Ichi Nijika had a wry smile on her face, like a mother looking at her disobedient child.

"Then let's take a day off today, no practice, let's go out and find a place to get together - and also introduce Qin Chuan's friends to us."

As Ichika Nijika spoke, her gaze fell upon Kato Megumi standing beside Qin Chuan, surprising even Kato Megumi.

Unexpectedly, besides Qin Chuan, there was someone else who noticed her immediately—she had thought she was being subconsciously ignored again, just like usual.

"Then I'll lead the way. There's a place I've been wanting to visit for ages!"

Upon hearing Ichiji Nijika's words, Yamada Ryo immediately raised his hand, his previously listless demeanor returning to normal.

……

In a café near the members of the New Star LiveHouse club, the four members of the band, Qin Chuan, and Kato Megumi sat inside.

"Ah, I'm alive again."

Yamada Ryo didn't stand on ceremony with Qin Chuan at all, devouring three pieces of cake in one go, seemingly unafraid of gaining weight.

"Thank you so much, Achuan. How about you take care of me from now on?"

Perhaps because Qin Chuan had fed him, Yamada Ryo suddenly became more affectionate in his address of Qin Chuan, and even started calling him "A-Chuan" like Kato Megumi.

"Don't say such rude things."

Sitting next to Yamada Ryo, Ijichi Nikka slapped Yamada Ryo on the head with an annoyed expression, as if her daughter was talking nonsense.

"Ah Chuan... no, Qin Chuan, please don't mind this guy talking nonsense."

Having been led astray by Yamada Ryo, Ichiji Niji Natsu almost changed how she addressed Qin Chuan, but thankfully she reacted in time and changed it back.

Although Ichiji Nijika's face was slightly flushed, she was clearly still a little shy.

Unlike Yamada Ryo, she wasn't shameless. It would be normal for her to feel shy after calling a boy by such an intimate name for the first time.

While Yamada Ryo was wolfing down his food, everyone learned about Kato Megumi's situation after being introduced to her.

They even learned that Qin Chuan and the other three would have lunch together on the rooftop at noon.

"That's great! It's a pity that Ryo and I don't go to the same school as you, otherwise I would like to participate too."

Nijika Ijichi was a little envious. Of the four who had left the band, Ichiri Goto and Ikuyo Kita were in the same school, while Nijika Ijichi and Ryo Yamada were in another.

This resulted in Ijichi Nijika and Yamada Ryo being unable to see Qin Chuan and the others at school.

"But there probably won't be enough seats on the rooftop benches..."

As expected of Goto Ichiri, at this moment, her words immediately plunged the atmosphere into despair.

While it's true that if Ichiji Nijika and Yamada Ryo joined their lunch group, the bench might not be big enough, but it shouldn't be said at a time like this.

However, this sentence did remind Qin Chuan that he was already thinking about whether to get a new bench for the school rooftop.

After all, although Kato Megumi and the others were just joking, Qin Chuan really felt that this lunch team might expand in the future...

For example, Eriri only comes to me after lunch now, but who knows, she might join the lunch group someday.

To take it even further, you could simply put a table on the rooftop or something—after all, nobody ever goes to the rooftop anyway.

As for whether Qin Chuan's high-profile move of things onto the rooftop might cause dissatisfaction at the school...

If the school has any complaints, it can complain to the Shinomiya Foundation and see how the Shinomiya family responds.

Chapter 204 The Promise of Yotsuya Miko

"So, you're looking for a boy from our school who takes this route to school?"

In the Service Club, Yukino Yukinoshita put down the map in her hand and looked at the girl sitting in front of her with a somewhat subtle expression.

The person who came to find her was Yotsuya Miko—Yukino Yukinoshita had a deep impression of her because she had talked a lot about evil spirits and the like when she came to see her last time.

It sounded like some kind of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) statement, but Yotsuya Miko's terrified eyes couldn't be faked, as if she had really seen something terrifying.

That's why Yukino Yukinoshita didn't treat Miko Yotsuya as just a simple case of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), but instead seriously considered Miko Yotsuya's situation.

Ultimately, she concluded that Yotsuya Miko might have suffered some kind of mental trauma, which caused her to hallucinate seeing evil spirits.

For example, if a family member has passed away—you can get the answer to this by simply asking Miko Yotsuya herself.

But before she could recommend that Yotsuya Miko see a psychologist, Yotsuya Miko left the Service Club, and seemed to have suddenly become disappointed with the Service Club.

Yukino Yukinoshita, of course, had no idea. It was because Miko Yotsuya saw that there were also evil spirits in the Service Club that she realized Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help her.

At the time, Yukino Yukinoshita even wondered if there was something wrong with her attitude.

However, some time later, Miko Yotsuya visited the Service Club a second time, and this time she didn't ask about the evil spirits, but wanted Yukino Yukinoshita to help her find someone.

Yotsuya Miko even found a map of the town, drew a route on it, and said she wanted to find students who went to and from school along this route.

Yes, can I help you?

Yotsuya Miko looked intently at Yukino Yukinoshita, while also peeking inside the Service Club once more.

There used to be an evil spirit in the Service Department, and it wasn't human, but more like some kind of canine evil spirit, lingering in the corner of the Service Department's room.

However, that evil spirit has now disappeared. It must have been the person that Yotsuya Miko was looking for. When eliminating the evil spirit in the school, she also eliminated the evil spirit of the Service Club.

That's right, the person Yotsuya Miko is looking for is the one who performed the exorcism at the school, and to find the person more accurately, she even drew a map of the person's route to and from school.

The route map was the one she found yesterday from school, the route with the fewest evil spirits—there were very few evil spirits on this route, which meant it had obviously been cleared away.

Therefore, Yotsuya Miko felt that if she wasn't mistaken, the person who performed the exorcism at the school was going to and from school along this route.

Unfortunately, although she had determined the route to and from school, she still had no idea who the other person was, not knowing their name, gender, or appearance.

So she went to the Service Club again, hoping that Yukino Yukinoshita could help her find the other party.

"Sigh... Under normal circumstances, it's practically impossible to identify a person based on this kind of school route map, right?"

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Miko Yotsuya and couldn't help but sigh.

With such a large number of students and staff at the private Toyonosaki School, there must be a lot of people going to and from school along the route drawn by Yotsuya Miko.

Without any other clues, how easy is it to find the person Yotsuya Miko is looking for among so many people?

"However, it's not like there's absolutely no clue... I'll try asking around for you."

However, Yukino Yukinoshita quickly thought of Qin Chuan—because Qin Chuan had said that if Yotsuya Miko came to the Service Club again, she could contact him.

Yukino Yukinoshita didn't know if Qin Chuan was the person Yotsuya Miko was looking for, but with no other clues, she had no choice but to try anything.

……

"I see, Yotsuya Miko is looking for someone? Okay, I understand."

In the coffee shop, Qin Chuan communicated with Yukino Yukinoshita on his mobile phone.

"But I'm not at school anymore... Tell her to go to the Service Club after school tomorrow, and I'll go see her then."

According to Yukino Yukinoshita, Miko Yotsuya came to the Service Club again. Qin Chuan had said to contact him if Miko Yotsuya came, so Yukino Yukinoshita obediently called.

Unfortunately, it was after school, and since there were no club activities, Qin Chuan had already left school, so there was no way for him to go back.

He could only meet Yotsuya Miko tomorrow—although he really wanted to meet her and see what was so special about this girl who could see evil spirits.
