There are so many geniuses in crossover anime! What's wrong with adding me?

"I see..." Akina Ogiso tried her best to avoid being impolite and covered it up with a faint smile.

"..." Takahiro Ogiso seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

"I'm sorry to have made you all laugh." Sakurakoji Sai glared at Ogiso Setsuna, and after receiving a cute tongue-out from her, he said helplessly.

"Well, I would laugh at someone else, but you, Sakurakoji-nii, definitely deserve it!" Kogiso Takahiro scratched his head, indicating that he didn't need to worry about it.

"Exactly, I don't find that reason strange at all!"

"You should stop laughing before you say that, Mom..."

"Sorry sorry!"

"..." Sakurakoji's talent couldn't help but touch his face with his fingers, feeling a rare bit embarrassed.

"By the way, Setsuna, why did you suddenly come here today? You didn't even tell me beforehand."

"Hmm? Oh, well, since school is about to start, I thought I'd come over and have some fun before it starts," Ogiso Setsuna explained her motivation. "And then, my mom and Takahiro found out and were curious about where you work, so we came over together."

"I see. So, what do you and Xiaohong think of this place? Aside from its unique functions, there's nothing particularly special about it, is there?" He looked at the two of them through the mask.

Speaking of which, as the start of the school year approaches, it seems like I'm surrounded by students like this everywhere.

However, since Ogiso Setsuna, Ijichi Nijika, and Kasumigaoka Utaha are not in their first year of high school and do not have an opening ceremony, and even if they did, their families would be there so he wouldn't have to worry about it, he doesn't need to go and join in the celebration like Shiina Mahiru did.

The delinquent girls in Kawasaki have even less reason to do this, and the reasons are self-evident.

In the apartment, Aoyama Nanami and Shiina Mashiro are both second-year high school transfer students. The first-year students like Aju and others know enough people to fill two mahjong tables, so they don't need him either.

Although Boqi-chan and Haqi-xiang are first-year students, he doesn't know them yet, so for now, as long as he takes care of Shiina Mahiru's place the day after tomorrow, he can focus on preparing for his own school opening the day after tomorrow.

While taking a sip of water, he let these thoughts flash through his mind and made arrangements for his itinerary for the next two or three days.

"No, I think it's great, although I was a little surprised that it's underground," Akina Ogiso replied with a smile. "When we were at the entrance just now, I thought Setsuna might have gone to the wrong place."

“Yes, yes, those dark entrance steps can indeed cause misunderstandings,” Kogiso Takahiro nodded in agreement.

"But putting that aside, I found this place to be quite nice once I came in. It's spacious and there are lots of people. Sakurakoji-kun's sweets are also delicious. I wonder if there will be a band performance later? I'm really looking forward to it."

"That's right, Mom! The performance later is going to be really fun! You all have to watch carefully, everyone is very talented, it'll be just like a concert!"

"No, this is just a concert, albeit a small one," Sakurakoji corrected with a sarcastic remark.

"Hehe, then I'll look forward to it." Akina Ogiso looked back at him and changed the subject, "Sakurakoji-kun, like Takahiro Setsuna, is starting school soon, right?"

"Hi, I'll be starting school next Monday." He nodded.

"It's going to be tough after school starts, you said you're not planning to quit your job, right?"

"Yes."

"It's good to work hard, but don't push yourself too hard."

"Thank you for your concern, I will handle it accordingly."

"If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to contact us for advice. Don't worry about causing us trouble."

"Thank you. If that's the case, I will." Sakurakoji Sai was slightly touched and replied with a faint smile.

"Mom, you really look like an old lady." Ogiso Setsuna looked at her mother helplessly. Why did she seem to care about her and her younger brother more than usual? "Sai-kun isn't a child anymore. He'll figure things out."

"You silly child, who are you calling an old lady!" She tapped her daughter on the head. "In my eyes, you're still just kids!"

Ogiso Setsuna pretends to cry and sticks out her tongue at Sakurakoji Saiki, accusing her of atrocities.

After a while, as the PA-modulated sound filled the underground space through the speakers, the night's performance began.

"The performance has started, so we won't disturb you any longer, Sakurakoji-kun." Akina Ogiso called to her two children and said goodbye to Saiki Sakurakoji.

"It's alright, Auntie. My main task was just for that short while, and there's nothing else to do after that. I won't bother you."

"That won't work either. If it takes up too much of your time, your boss will gossip." She smiled and shook her head in refusal.

"It's okay. Although our boss is not good with words, speaks in a way that is hard to understand, is a proud and arrogant person, is also an ultimate siscon, is quite childish in some ways, and is also very bad at housework... but she is actually a good person." Sakura Koji crossed his arms, swaying his silver-white hair, and introduced Iji Tomoka one by one.

"Is that so..." Two beads of cold sweat appeared on Akina Ogiso's forehead as she worried about his overly detailed explanation.

"Really? So that's how I am in your mind."

A hand landed on his shoulder, and the sharp pain in his collarbone instantly froze Sakurakoji's sunny, smiling expression.

Ichika moved her head from behind him to his side, revealing a rare "warm" smile: "Hey, talent! It seems like it's been a long time since we had a heart-to-heart talk, right? Come here, let's have a good chat today?"

After saying that, she let go of him and walked towards the room at the back.

"Please enjoy yourselves, gentlemen. I must apologize for my rudeness." He patted imaginary dust off his shoulder and forced a smile as he addressed the three.

"Are you alright?" Setsuna Ogiso asked worriedly.

"It's okay, it's okay. Like I said, don't let her appearance fool you, she's actually a good person. She was just being a bit arrogant again."

"Talent!"

"Come here!"

Sakurakoji's expression was stiff. After giving a forced smile, he turned and walked towards the empty room at the back.

"..."

"..."

"...It's really not easy," Akina Ogiso remarked.

"Todoroki, that's really not easy." Ogiso Setsuna agreed wholeheartedly, nodding with a sly smile.

"Who are you looking at? I'm talking about you!" Akina Ogiso scolded playfully.

"Huh? Me?" She pointed at herself in surprise.

"Of course, you silly girl." Akina sighed, rubbing her forehead. "With so many competitors, how come you still have no sense of crisis?"

"...What are you saying, Mom?" She glanced sideways at the band walking onto the stage.

“You’d better really not know,” Akina Ogiso said to herself, turning her gaze to the stage as well. “That kid is so outstanding, there must be a lot of people who like him. Although you, Setsuna, are also excellent, you’re not as good as Sakurakoji-kun.”

Volume 1: The Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 144 The Planned Hero Saves the Beauty

"After coming here today, I'm even more certain. Just in this workplace alone, there are several exceptionally adorable children. Including that beautiful shop manager from earlier; although she seemed angry, the look in her eyes was definitely..."

"You said that among the people who took you back last time was a girl from your school, right? And she was also a very good-looking girl."

"..." Ogiso Setsuna remained silent.

"This is just here, I guess it's the same in other places... Sakurakoji-kun, you seem to have a lot of qualities that attract girls of the opposite sex, after all, you're so outstanding."

"..."

"Go for it, my daughter."

“…What are you thinking, Mom! I didn’t…” Ogiso Setsuna puffed out her cheeks.

"Even if you don't have any now, it doesn't mean you won't have any later, right? Don't regret it later. Great friends of the opposite sex are always fleeting; they'll be snatched away by someone else very soon." Akina's expression remained unchanged as she taught her with her own life experience.

"I..." Ogiso Setsuna stammered, even she herself was confused about this matter.

And I dare not make any rash judgments, that such a thing will not happen in the future, although it probably hasn't happened yet.

Although she has plenty of experience being confessed to, her experience in dating... is about the same as her experience of getting the top score in the whole school.

"..."

ten minutes later,

Sakura Koji, rubbing his buttocks, walked out of the recording studio at the back, muttering to himself, "Just talk, why get handsy?"

She wasn't like this before. Could it be that she's been spending too much time with Hiratsuka Shizuka lately and caught this strange condition of 'hands moving faster than she speaks'? He guessed.

That despicable Hiratsuka Shizuka, she's really done a lot of harm!

He inexplicably muttered a few critical words about Ms. Xiaojing, then pretended nothing had happened and returned to the stage. The Xiaogiso family was no longer there; they had probably gone to watch the performance.

He didn't see them again until the evening performance ended.

"Ha! I'm so satisfied!" Setsuna Ogiso walked back with a refreshed expression.

"Seriously, I can't even tell if it's someone else performing or you, sister. You were singing along the whole time, weren't you?"

"What does it matter? Everyone's the same way anyway."

"No, you were the only one who was with me the whole time..."

Akina Ogiso glanced at her children, who were performing as expected, and said gently to Saiki Sakurakoji, "Then we'll be leaving now tonight. We're sorry to have bothered you today, Sakurakoji-kun."

"No need to bother you, let me see you off."

"No need~ It's not just Setsuna who's alright today, so don't worry about us. You just go about your business."

"I see..." He nodded, not insisting further, since it was indeed true. "Then Auntie, Xiaohong, please take care, and welcome to visit again next time."

"Hehe, we will."

"Hey, Sakurakoji-nii-san."

"Hey, what about me, Caihua-kun?" Ogiso Setsuna pouted and frowned slightly, expressing her dissatisfaction that he hadn't called her name.

"Yukina, you..." His expression was subtle, "Since we see each other so often, we don't need to be so polite with each other, right?"

"Hehe, you're right!" Ogiso Setsuna's deliberately tense expression instantly crumbled, and she raised her hand to her chin with a light laugh. "I was just saying."

"We'll meet again in a few days. I'll ask you to take care of what I mentioned last time."

"What we talked about last time? Ah—you mean that!" She tapped her hands, her expression suddenly realizing, "Is it finally about to begin?"

"Yes, it will take a while, but it will be soon. Before that, we must persuade that black-haired princess."

"Touma-kun, she seems to be more than she appears. She hasn't sent a single message in the group chat these past few days..."

"So I'll need to trouble you to put in a little more effort. I'll leave it to you while we're at school, and I'll also do some persuasion work outside." Sakurakoji Saiki glanced sideways and emphasized this point again.

What he didn't say was that although the black princess didn't speak in the group chat, he had still chatted with her twice in private messages.

"Understood! Leave that to me!" She put her hands behind her back, raised her head, and puffed out her fairly full chest, readily agreeing.

"We'll be going now, bye-bye~ Caihua-jun!"

"See you next time~"

After exchanging greetings, the three walked outside, and one could still vaguely hear words like "What are you saying?"

……

outdoor,

"So you mean, Sakurakoji-kun is actually very wealthy, and he's currently preparing to produce a game out of interest, and he's invited you to participate?" Akina Ogiso covered her mouth in surprise after hearing her daughter's explanation.

Well, that's about it.

“No wonder that child didn’t even blink when he gave her that expensive gift last time, I see…” Akina Ogiso frowned as she thought, and everything made sense.

"Sakurakoji is actually a tycoon? No wonder he's like that." Kogiso Takahiro exclaimed in amazement, his eyes wide, then his expression turned slightly bitter. "Does he have any flaws? As a fellow man, this is too much of a blow."

Compared to this, Akina Ogiso was concerned about other things. She sighed and covered her face in disappointment: "It's over."

"Oh no, sister."

"What are you talking about? We're talking about Caihua-jun, right? Why are you suddenly dragging me into this?!"

"That child was already outstanding enough, now you have even less hope?"

"My sister was already unworthy to begin with, isn't she even more unworthy now?"

"...I'm going to hit you all, especially Xiaohong!"

"Eh!" x2

"Mo! I don't care about you anymore!" She stormed off toward the station.
