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

"Ah, yes, it's Guitar Hero Desu..."

"What did you say?!" Ichiji Nijika screamed the loudest she'd heard all day.

……

Nighttime, on the stairs outside the starry sky.

"Hehehe..." Goto Ichiri took light steps as he stepped up the stairs, feeling as light as a feather.

'Great! Not only have I joined the band, but my skills have also been recognized by everyone. I don't have to worry about being kicked out anymore.'

'This is what it feels like to join a band for the first time in my life, oh my god!'

'It really paid off after years of hard guitar practice!' Hongxia looked surprised and excited. 'Dad, Mom, Xiaoshuang, Jimmy Heng, I did it!'

'Everyone here is a good person, isn't Hongxia, Liangsang, and Mr. Caihua... they should all be good people, right?'

Not sure, check again.

'From now on, I won't be alone after school anymore; I can come here and practice with everyone.'

'We trained together, sweated it out, performed on stage, wrote lyrics and composed music... Oh dear, am I going to become a wild, rebellious teenager too?!'

'What kind of people are the remaining two teammates? I'm really looking forward to it!'

'From today onwards, I'm no longer Goto Doku, who can only mold in the closet, but Goto Ichiri, a vibrant and outgoing person who can get along with everyone!'

"Hehehe... This is so embarrassing~" Stepping onto the last step, she shrank back and shyly touched her pink hair.

"To make it easier to practice, should we bring our guitars from home tomorrow?"

She looked up at the moon, her eyes filled with anticipation for tomorrow. Even the thought of taking a two-hour tram ride couldn't dampen her excitement.

"Choosing this school, so far from home and junior high, was definitely a great decision! I made friends within just a few days of school starting."

"Ah, but I have to thank Mr. Talent for this. It's all thanks to him that I was able to join the Ending Band."

'So, it seems he really is a good person?'

Hmm... I think I'll take another look. She frowned and held her fingers tightly, still not quite sure.

"Xiao Yili, wait!" A shout and the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps came from the abyss behind her.

"Eh?!"

This hurried pace and sense of urgency! Masaka!

She trembled with fear, wanting to run away, but her legs went limp and she couldn't even take a step.

"Really, you walk way too fast." A figure gradually rose up the steps.

Shining under the moonlight and neon lights, his unique silver-white hair proclaimed his identity.

"Mr. Cai, is there something you need?" She was afraid and still dared not look him in the eye.

'Did he find out I was complaining about him in my head and now he's here to silence me?!'

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Please forgive me! I still want to live!" She immediately bowed ninety degrees to apologize.

"I also want to tell my family this good news, at least let me live to see tomorrow!"

"...What are you talking about again?" Sakurakoji Sai looked down at the back of her head, feeling rather speechless.

He had to admit that there weren't many people in this world he couldn't understand, and now there was one more—he really couldn't understand what some neurotic kids were thinking.

But her weak and submissive appearance—he narrowed his eyes, hmm, it really did arouse a strong urge to attack and bully her, so delicious…

He quickly shook his head to clear his mind.

Oh no, the S-type soul within him almost awakened here. Her submissive aura, similar to his father's, which clung to his body 24/7, was making it hard for the S-type maternal blood flowing within him to control himself.

If things really break out here, he has no idea what he might do.

"Never mind, you take this." He gave up thinking and handed her what he was holding.

Goto Ichiri took the somewhat heavy object and took a small step back.

"What is this?"

"We accidentally made too many pastries today. Take some home and enjoy them with your family."

"Eh, but these must be very expensive, right?" Goto Ichiri looked up at him for the first time, somewhat incredulous.

This portion is enough for five or six adults, and the price on the Starry Night menu is not low.

"It's alright, I already said it was too much, don't worry about it. Just consider it a gift for joining the team today, enjoy it." Sakurakoji's fiery red eyes softened as she spoke calmly.

"Ah, hi, thank you so much!" Goto Ichiri bowed again at a ninety-degree angle, his eyes welling up with tears.

Ya Lei, Ya Lei, if you keep going like this, I really won't be able to control myself... Sakura Koji's eyebrows relaxed helplessly, feeling at a loss for what to do with this child.

"If you really want to thank me, please grant me one request."

"What?" Goto Ichiri asked, puzzled.

Sakurakoji winked his red eyes mischievously, "For the next few days, you'll have to bring your guitar to school."

"Oh, okay, that's what I was thinking too." She readily agreed.

“Is that so? That’s good.” Sakurakoji Sai nodded. “However, I have a request—no, a request.”

"So, if anyone who's curious about guitars strikes up a conversation with you in the next few days, I hope you can bring her over, especially if she's interested in or talented at singing—you know what I mean?"

“Yes, Mr. Talent, you want me to find the remaining lead singer candidates, right?” Goto Ichiri nodded.

"Not bad." Fortunately, this child isn't stupid.

The reason he approached Goto Ichiri first was not only because she was easier to talk to, but also because Kita Ikuyo could connect with her through her.

That redheaded girl, who is also socially anxious (a social terrorist), will definitely run over to talk to her because she is interested in guitars and bands.

"But...but I'm afraid I won't do it well, because I can't even speak properly outside." Although she understood what he meant, Goto Ichiri was still hesitant.

"It's okay, you don't need to actively look for it. Just wait for someone to talk to you. If no one does, then forget it."

"Oh, in that case, I should be able to do it!" Her face relaxed, looking completely at ease.

"That's it. You live quite far away, right? Hurry back, or you'll miss your bus. Goodbye."

"Well! Goodbye, Mr. Talent!"

After waving goodbye slowly, Goto Ichiri turned around and took light steps toward the station, her yellow and blue hair ties swaying freely in the air.

'Mr. Caihua, he really is a good person, isn't he?'

'Because those desserts are clearly delicious and sell very well, there shouldn't be any leftovers.'

'If we hadn't prepared in advance, we probably wouldn't have had this much left over. Even if there were leftovers, we could have packed them up and sold them to customers.'

'It's so great to be here today!'

She swayed her bright pink ponytail, her heart surging with the most complex, rich, and intense joy she had experienced in over a decade, and she couldn't help but sing a song.

"Come out of the world and wear the world (If possible, I hope I can rewrite the world)"

PS: That's all for today's 11,000-word update.

Volume 1: The Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 168 The German-Speaking Mother-in-Law?

Early the next morning—or rather, not early at all,

During the break between the first and second classes in the morning, Sakurakoji Sai received a phone call.

After glancing at the name in the contact list, he answered the call without hesitation.

"Moses Moses?"

Good morning, is this Caihua-jun?

On the other end of the phone came a gentle, youthful, girlfriend-like voice.

"Okay, go ahead." Sakurakoji glanced at the Hanasakigawa students passing by, lowered his voice, and walked towards a deserted corner of the stairwell.

As for whether he's talented... I guess so, if we don't consider his current attitude.

"I'm sorry, Caihua-jun should be at school today too, right? Did I disturb you?" She seemed to sense his predicament and apologized softly.

"No problem, no problem, it's just break time anyway, nothing much to do." Once they reached a safe place, Sakurakoji regained his voice. "So, is there something you need, Setsuna?"

The person who called him was surprisingly far away in Mineo City—well, not really, since Mineo City is also in Shinjuku Ward, not that far from him.

Who knows, one day when he goes shopping with his classmates after school as Ogura Asahi, he might run into her again—what a ridiculous joke!

"Ah, right!" Ogiso Setsuna remembered the important matter and quickly said, "Time is running out, listen to me, Talent-kun!"

"Yeah, I'm listening."

"Um, um!"

"Uh-huh……"

"Touma-san has gone missing!" she stated this urgent matter.

"Huh?" Sakurakoji was taken aback, then looked around and asked further, "Disappeared? What do you mean by 'disappeared'? Did you run off somewhere halfway through class?"

“That’s not how it is,” Setsuna Ogiso shook her head, frowning with concern. “To be precise, she hasn’t been to school since yesterday.”

“I messaged her yesterday, and she said it was nothing, so I didn’t think much of it.”

"But I just went to ask in Class E, and it seems she still didn't come this morning. Could she actually be sick?"

"What should we do, Caihua? Shouldn't we go see a doctor?"

After hearing her story, Sakurakoji stood frozen in place, muttering to himself, "Isn't that normal?"

It's perfectly normal for Touma Kazusa to skip classes, take a break from school, or drop out, just like a normal person needs to eat. What's there to worry about?

Even if you've only missed two days, or even if you're in a bad mood and take a two-week break from school, it's not a big deal, is it?

Since she said she was fine, she probably just didn't want to go to class, right? The slight worry that had just arisen in Sakurakoji vanished instantly.

I thought it was something big, but it's just this?

"Huh?" His whisper was overheard by Ogiso Setsuna, who, not knowing Touma Kazusa very well, exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh no, don't worry about it." Realizing what had happened, he tried to smooth things over, facing the stairs. "Anyway, I know what happened, but I don't think you need to worry. She probably just skipped class because she didn't want to go to school."

“But I asked the students in Class E, and they said she dropped out of school because of health reasons.” Ogiso Setsuna was a little skeptical.

“You obviously don’t ask for leave without a valid reason much, Setsuna,” Sakurakoji Sai sighed. “If you didn’t say that, would the teacher have allowed you to skip class?”

"what……"

"So you don't need to worry at all. That guy has been a regular truant since before." After thinking for a moment, he suggested, "If you're really worried, I'll go check on him today and give you a report, okay?"

"Yes! That would be best!" Ogiso Setsuna accepted the proposal with delight. "But when are you coming, Saiki-kun? If possible, I'd also like to..."

"Oh, I should be free to go over there later. I should be able to report back to you by noon. Just focus on your studies." Knowing what she was going to say, he interrupted her.

Before getting Touma Kazusa's consent, and while their relationship doesn't seem to be that good yet, it's best not to complicate things further.

"Huh? But we have class later?" she asked, surprised.

"Just ask for leave, the teachers here are very easy to talk to."

"Eh, eh??!!!!"

"Anyway, I don't want to go anymore, this course is too boring," he said honestly.

He wasted most of his time at Hanasaki River, except for the occasional break between classes when he could talk to a few people.

Even though it's all material I've already learned, I have to listen to it again, and with the teacher's sleepy, gentle voice and rhythm, it's pure torture!

Of course, he could also learn from Kasumigaoka Utaha, or like the other delinquents in Hanasakigawa, simply sleep in class, since the teachers wouldn't care anyway.

But I still feel that this is a waste.

Life is precious; we should spend our time on more useful things (like meeting more girls)!

"But... but I still think this is wrong..." On the other end of the phone, Ogiso Setsuna frantically tried to stop him.
