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

……

As she became increasingly lost in her own world, Sakurakoji's talent nearly came to an end.

"frozen world を (in the frozen world)"

"転がるように出した(run out without fear even if you fall down)"

"Oh~ Oh~ Oh~~ Oh yeah~ yeah~ yeah~~"

After singing the last two lines, the guitar strings continued to emit a final solo roar, and after a dozen seconds, the song ended in a gradually fading and disappearing lingering melody.

Sparse applause and cheers rang out, but it was all irrelevant, because from the start of the performance, his attention had been fixed on the girl in the vest.

Unlike her initial obvious feelings of inferiority and dejection, now a faint, silly smile graced her face as she clapped her hands forcefully (but weakly).

Well, although she didn't smile much and her clapping was weak, she still tried her best, didn't she?

Compared to that, as he gazed at her figure, he was more preoccupied with another question.

Does a name really affect a person's life trajectory?

Why is she called Goto Doku (Goto Ichiri)? Is her life really that lonely? Her younger sister is called Goto Sou (Goto Niri)? Is her personality that arrogant?

Why is Ms. Gui Qu Lai Xi called Kita Yuyo? In the story, she really came and went, and then came again.

Why did Kasumigaoka Utaha call herself Utaha, and then actually become a writer?

Why is Hiratsuka Shizuka called Hiratsuka Shizuka... yet her life has been anything but peaceful?

Why is his name Sakurakoji Talent? He's truly that talented in this lifetime!!!

This is a philosophical question worth pondering and exploring; it might even influence the course of human history. He stroked his chin and nodded with deep feeling.

However, now is not the time to think about these things.

He looked up at Goto Ichiri, and he could feel her tremble the moment his gaze locked onto her.

"..."

Is it really necessary? Sakurakoji's talent is somewhat comical.

He's not some kind of demon, just a bad guy. Do we need to be so wary of him?

However, precisely because he is a bad person, he has no intention of letting go of this little white rabbit, who is the easiest to deal with so far.

He raised his hand, making a gun gesture with his fingers, pointed at Goto Ichiri, and called out in a pleasant, androgynous voice, "Hey, you pink-haired guy over there!"

"!" Goto Ichiri was shocked and looked left and right, trying to find the other pink-haired people around her.

But the result left her in despair; there wasn't a single person next to her, let alone anyone with pink hair!

Finally, she gave up thinking and pointed tremblingly at herself with her fingertip.

"Yes! That's right! It's you!" Sakurakoji Saidai nodded with certainty. "Could you come over here for a moment?"

'Why?!' After her last glimmer of hope was shattered, Goto Ichiri felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and the mood she had just been immersed in was instantly shattered.

She now felt as if she had fallen into hell—and that demons were beckoning to her.

But she didn't even have the courage to refuse. Knowing it was a dead end, she could only reluctantly move forward step by step, getting closer and closer to the abyss.

Why me? There were so many people around clapping!

'I want to escape, I want to refuse, I want to go home...'

'But if someone with social anxiety had the courage to say no, they wouldn't be socially anxious.'

'Ugh...'

P.S.: Some readers have commented that the plot after the start of the school year is not very interesting, and I think I understand where the problem lies.

One possibility is that I've been using a lot of plot devices and tropes in my recent writing, which might be unfamiliar to readers who aren't very familiar with the BanG Dream! universe.

Another issue is that when I was writing about the female character and her everyday personality, I may have subconsciously divided her personality into two parts to disguise herself, which made the female character too "dignified" and not interesting enough, and it might also be a bit disjointed. I will try to unify them later.

The focus for the foreseeable future will be on stabilizing the existing characters' relationships and the plot, coinciding with the official events involving Chicken and Dog taking place in a month or two.

(Actually, I've been struggling a bit with writing these past few days. I didn't know how to arrange the dialogue and plot in the school setting, but I have a general idea now. The rest of the story will mainly continue the style I've used so far.)

If you have any questions, please ask them at the end of each chapter. I will take note of them.

Putting it in the main comments section might be affected by readers who haven't read the later parts of the story, so I don't really care about the number of likes there, since most of them haven't read to the end. However, I will still read and reply to serious and specific comments there.

Volume 1: The Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 165 Perhaps the two of them have a lot in common?

When Goto Ichiri approached, Sakurakoji carefully examined the pink-clad high school girl who clearly had social anxiety.

Hmm, how come this child hasn't been kidnapped yet?

It neither knows how to (or dares to) refuse, nor does it have the personality of a wild serpent that freezes in place after saying just a few more words.

Could it be that her aloofness and coldness, which makes her avoid eye contact with others, is similar to that of Touma Kazusa in the eyes of those who don't know the truth?

This difference is too big!

However, if you only look at their figures and looks, they do look somewhat similar.

Hmm~

So, in this damn world that only cares about looks, as long as you have some good looks, regardless of your personality or character, you'll always find a great scholar to debate with you.

Simply standing there, without saying a word, is a form of silent bullying to those around you.

Wait a minute! Could it be that I was perceived this way by others when I was at Hanasaki River these past few days?

Sakurakoji Saiki lowered his head and crossed his arms, reflecting on his performance over the past two days.

"that……"

Seeing that Sakurakoji hadn't spoken for a long time, Goto Ichiri became increasingly frightened. He mustered his courage, raised his hand tremblingly, and called out in an almost inaudible voice, trying to remind the person in front of him.

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I spaced out for a second." He scratched his hair and looked up to look directly at her face.

Why not her eyes? Because no matter how he moved his body, he couldn't make eye contact with her—this child might have some kind of talent.

"Well, first of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Sakurakoji Saiki." He gestured as he introduced himself. "Alright, it's your turn."

'Huh?! It's gone just like that?' Goto Ichiri was shocked.

But after pausing for two seconds, he honestly replied, "My name is Goto Ichiri, and I'm a first-year student at Shuka High School."

"Ichiri-chan, you..."

'Calling me by my name right off the bat?!' Goto Ichiri trembled, her ahoge (cowlick) tied with a yellow and blue fruit candy hair tie bobbing up and down.

"Actually, Ichiri-chan, you..."

“Hi…” Goto Ichiri responded softly.

"You do play musical instruments, don't you?" He closed his eyes slightly, his tone certain.

"Huh?" Upon hearing this conclusion, she looked up in surprise, accidentally met his gaze, and then quickly looked away.

"Oh, why would you think that?"

“Intuition!” Sakurakoji snapped his fingers crisply and continued to explain (nonsense): “The moment I saw you, I knew that you were surrounded by an aura similar to mine, so you must be playing a musical instrument.”

"And it's very likely a guitar! Right?"

"Ah, um, um..." Goto Ichiri's eyes darted around, unsure whether she should answer the question about whether she was actually practicing guitar and was a somewhat well-known blogger.

The other person doesn't seem suspicious, but they also don't seem like a normal person. Should I tell the truth?

But he said I exude the same aura as him, hehehe... Does that mean that in other people's eyes, I'm just as dazzling as he is? It's so embarrassing!

"Gurgle, hehe..."

"..." This child is hopeless. Seeing her silently immersed in her own world, Sakurakoji made this judgment in his heart.

"Hey—are you alright? Moshi Moshi?" He waved in front of her, trying to wake her.

"Ah..." Goto Ichiri realized her mistake and quickly apologized for her rudeness, "I-I'm sorry! I just...!"

'Ugh! I haven't spoken in so long, my voice is stuck in my throat!' She wriggled her limbs in pain, her once beautiful face now displaying a complete breakdown in her facial expressions.

"Calm down, just talk slowly." Sakura Koji said, unplugging the guitar's power cord and putting away the equipment beside him.

The few remaining people around him, seeing him packing up his stall, also dispersed and left.

"Okay," she finally managed to speak normally after a moment of hesitation.

'What should I do? Should I tell the truth? But I don't know if the other person is a good person.'

'No, but it's so rare for someone to talk to me like this. If I miss this opportunity, I might really end up alone for the rest of my life!'

"Go for it, Goto Ichiri! Isn't this the opportunity you've been dreaming of? And the other side is a band member who looks really cool!"

Go for it!! FIGHT!!!

After hesitating for a moment, she decided to tell the truth: "Oh, well, I did play guitar for a few years."

"As expected! I knew my gut feeling was right!" Sakura Koji picked up the speaker and glanced at her sideways.

It's kind of funny how this kid always adds "ah~" before her words. Doesn't it give off a kind of submissive vibe? Although she definitely is.

Suki!

"Oh! Aren't you going to continue the performance?" Goto Ichiri asked quickly, noticing that he seemed to be packing up to leave.

"Yes, I have to go to work later. What I just did was just an impromptu performance."

"I see, that's a real pity..."

She quite liked the other person's singing, but unfortunately she only got to hear one song.

"Well then, I'll head home now. Goodbye, Mr. Sakurakoji..."

"Huh?" Seeing her turn to leave, Sakurakoji Sai quickly grabbed her arm. "What are you saying? You're coming with me too!"

He came here this afternoon to fish, and now he's finally caught one. But the fish says it wants to go back to the river to find its mother. Is that right?

"Huh?" Goto Ichiri froze. "Eh!!!!!"

"Why, why, why?!"

She frantically waved her hands in refusal: "No, no, no, my meat doesn't taste good!"

"...What on earth are you thinking?"

Sakurakoji's lips twitched vigorously. With Ijichi Nijika not around, was he the only one left to do this kind of sarcastic commentary?

"Anyway, it's not what you think. Just come with me—you won't refuse, will you?" His eyes flashed, and he gave her a sharp look.

"H-How could that be... I'll go."

“Very good, then follow me.” He smiled gently and took the lead. “Also, from now on, just call me Caihua or Mr. Caihua.”

"..."

"What's the answer?"

"Hi!"

"Hey, I'll treat you to something to eat later."

……

Ten minutes later, the two arrived at the entrance to the starry sky.

"Here we are, right here."

'The Demon Realm?' Looking at the dark passage leading underground, Goto Ichiri's forehead was creased with worry as he stared uneasily at the stairs beneath his feet.

"This is where I work, a livehouse called 'STARRY'. Let's go in."

'So this is a livehouse?' Hearing his explanation, Goto Ichiri relaxed, her expression softening into a grotesque, exaggerated facial expression.

Thankfully, it wasn't anything suspicious. That's great!

After descending the stairs and pushing open the door at the bottom, Sakurakoji greeted her as usual, "Good morning~"
