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

"Don't you know why?" Hiratsuka Shizuka said irritably. "I don't want to have anything to do with someone like you again."

"It's alright, it's alright!" Yukinoshita Haruno waved cheerfully. "That child is different from me, he's so quiet!"

"But you could also say she's withdrawn? Anyway, she's different from me. She doesn't have many friends and is a worrying child, so I'm leaving her in your care at school!"

"Hey! Don't just dump your troubles on me! Besides, you don't even have many friends yourself, do you have the right to talk about her like that?"

"How could that be? I have a lot of friends!" She gestured a large circle with her hands.

"Heh, can they even be considered friends? They just think so, don't they?" Hiratsuka Shizuka sneered. "Friends are something you have to acknowledge in your own heart to be considered friends."

"Or perhaps you are their friend, but they are not your friend?"

"...Don't put it so harshly, as if I'm some heartless and ungrateful person." Yukinoshita Haruno's smile faded slightly, but she didn't refute.

She couldn't hide it from her, nor did she want to.

"Fine, for your sake, I might as well look after her." After suppressing her arrogance and considering her situation, Hiratsuka Shizuya sighed and decided not to say anything more.

"Really?! Thank you! I love you the most, Xiaojing!"

"Stop it! Talk to me, but don't hug me!"

Sakurakoji, who had been keeping an eye on them, perked up, a glint of light flashing in his lazy eyes. It was truly rare to hear news of the Second Miss!

He pushed her face away in disgust, and after a long while, Hiratsuka Shizuka continued:

"That child's name is Yukino Yukinoshita, right?"

"Soso! It's her!" Yukinoshita Haruno closed one eye, making a gesture of supporting her beautiful face. "She looks just as cute as me, easy to recognize, right?"

"Well, it's a bit of a shame in some ways. My mother and I are both pretty good... It's a real pity."

She said that, but she didn't seem to regret it at all; instead, she was secretly amused. Perhaps she found it amusing that no matter how hard the other person tried in their lifetime, they would never catch up in this area.

Although she didn't specify which aspect, Sakurakoji Takashi immediately realized it—that's what reputation is all about!

"..." Hold back your laughter.

"Where is the cuteness? I can't see it at all. It's just a fake face that makes you want to punch it and annoy you."

"Mo~ Xiaojing, your standards are too high." She changed the subject, "Just the fact that I received enough love letters in my three years of high school to fill my shoe cabinet is enough to prove that I'm cute, right?"

"Teenagers are very naive and easy to fool, so don't take their words seriously. I received a lot of love letters back then too."

"And now?" Sakurakoji Sai couldn't help but interject.

There's no way anyone could resist making fun of someone after hearing this.

"...Are you deliberately asking for a beating?" Hiratsuka Shizuka's dark pupils flashed with a chilling light.

"I was wrong." He readily admitted his mistake.

"Hmph." Hiratsuka Shizuka gave him a cold look. "I have to correct you, except for this guy. He's so cunning and annoying."

Ignoring her personal opinion, Yukinoshita blinked her big eyes curiously: "Hey bro, you're so handsome, you must have received a lot of love letters from girls, right?"

"So, is there anyone you like?"

Compared to the former, she mainly wanted to know the latter, since the answer to the former was obvious.

If the other person can remain this calm throughout the relationship, then she really doesn't know what to say.

However, his answer surprised her.

"No, let alone being in a relationship, I've never even received a love letter. Ah~ but there have been people who have talked to me."

Speaking of this, Sakurakoji Sai couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken.

Compared to other time travelers, he hasn't received a single love letter in all these years! Is that reasonable?!

That seems reasonable, after all, he didn't even go to school for the first ten years or so, so where would anyone go to give him love letters?

Hanasaki River is an all-girls school, and he has only been attending for a few days, and he has even skipped most of his classes!

Of course, he didn't doubt that after a while, someone with ulterior motives would slip love letters into Ogura Asahi's shoe cabinet, but at least not yet.

"Eh, really?" Even Hiratsuka Shizuka was surprised.

This guy is despicable, but his face is undeniably handsome. How could he not have received love letters? Are all the girls around him blind?

"After all, I didn't go to school much." He smiled calmly.

"I see." She nodded; that was the only explanation.

“But—” Yukino Yukinoshita drawled, drawing attention, “Looking at the way he is, I always feel that he and Yukino will have a lot in common. Don’t you think so, Shizuka?”

After going around in circles, she finally revealed her purpose.

"Why are you suddenly saying this?" Hiratsuka Shizuka subconsciously felt that this guy had ill intentions, and glanced at Sakurakoji Saiki. "Where did you get that idea? Their personalities are completely different, aren't they?"

"Hmm—intuition?"

"What kind of irresponsible statement is that?"

"Oh, I can't explain this to you. Just consider it a woman's sixth sense!" Yukino Yukinoshita ignored her and focused her gaze on him. "If there's a chance someday, I really hope you can meet Yukino. It would be great if you could become friends."

"Yukino is... Haruno-san's younger sister?"

"Yeah! That's it!"

"Well, your names are really similar, but they both sound very nice."

"Haha, thank you for the compliment!" Yukinoshita Haruno smiled simply. "How about it, want to give it a try?"

Of course I want it! Is that even a question?

Sakurakoji was inwardly excited, but remained calm: "I have no objection, it depends on your sister's opinion."

"It might be a bit difficult over there... but there should be a way!" she said uncertainly, not daring to be too definitive considering her sister's personality.

The reason she wanted to arrange a meeting between the two was simply to see what kind of fun would result from putting them together.

After all, it's rare to find a high school student who is unfathomable, exceptionally capable, and close in age to Yukino Yukinoshita. It would be a shame not to make good use of such a talent.

However, her goal was not to improve the relationship between the two; on the contrary, it was quite the opposite.

If we could place him as the opposite of Yukino Yukinoshita, and have him replace us as Yukino's rival, becoming a catalyst for her growth and a whetstone to sharpen her, thus playing a positive role in her development—that would be ideal.

In that case, the relationship between me and Yukino wouldn't be so strained, right?

Maybe next time you see her, you shouldn't scare or provoke her like that?

She secretly revealed a cunning, fox-like smile, secretly plotting her own scheme.

P.S.: I'm starting to think the plot is progressing too slowly. At this rate, how many tens of thousands of words would I have to write to finish? (thinking.jpg) I'll try to speed things up later. I feel like there are still so many characters and plot points to develop—although it's quite interesting to spend a lot of time writing about nuanced emotions and dialogues.

Volume 1: The Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 182 Subordinates Overthrowing Superiors is a Traditional Virtue!

Tsk tsk, Sakurakoji's talent was rather speechless as he took in Yukinoshita Haruno's reaction.

Look at this person, they're not even bothering to act anymore.

Are you trying to make sure everyone knows you have ulterior motives? Can you please tone down that cunning look in your eyes?

Sigh... He lowered his head and returned to the oven, taking out cupcakes that were almost baked and had risen and softened. The sweet and soft aroma immediately filled the space around the oven the moment it was opened.

However, he didn't really care what she planned to do, after all, he wasn't just an ordinary Japanese high school student.

Although he can't save the world like a typical high school student, he has ways to solve most things besides saving the world.

You could say they're the opposite of them, since, aside from saving the world, they can't really do anything else once they're back in society (laughs).

If it were Yukinoshita Haruno, who could only bully high school students who hadn't yet entered society, then she would have it all under her thumb.

Hmph, have you ever had a job? Have you ever run a company? Manipulated the stock market? Hunted down multinational financial capital? Have you ever run a real business? Have you ever reached the pinnacle in any field? Have you ever spent over a decade holed up in a room?

That's just wishful thinking!

He wouldn't even consider the Yukinoshita sisters, let alone their supposedly more legendary and powerful mother!

He had said long ago that back then, Luna Sakurakoji was able to stir up the Japanese stock market with the pocket money her family gave her when she was young, even though she was confined to the mansion for a long time and not allowed to go out. Her assets grew exponentially, once surpassing her declining hometown. Before high school, she took over the Sakura Mansion in her hometown as a dormitory, acquired several clothing factories, and at the same time, she did not forget to take care of her two major businesses: design and games.

He was an even more reclusive, voluntary shut-in than her. He started trading stocks at eight, oscillating between going long and short at ten, attempted to organize a raid on Wall Street at twelve, and by fourteen, he had earned more money than the main and branch families of the Sakurakoji family combined...

And it's perfectly normal to simultaneously take on design, language, music, and tutoring... right?

After all, overthrowing superiors is a tradition in Japan and the Sakurakoji family, and family skills can't be lost, okay?

What? He didn't say that? Then you didn't ask either.

The only regret is that because Sakurakoji's current main family (Sakurakoji Luna's lineage) has grown so much in the later stages, his speed of surpassing hers is much slower than it was back then, but it doesn't matter much.

Thinking about it this way—our near-moon system's freaks don't seem to be much inferior to those of the Bangbang in terms of individual ability, do they?

In short, what he wanted to say was that in this world where geniuses and monsters are everywhere, Oregairu is like Tyson accidentally entering the Land of Light, fighting Ace and then Taro.

"Here, some freshly baked cakes, would you like some?" He took a few still-warm small cakes, put them on a plate, and handed them over. "What would you like to drink?"

"Guatemalan fresh coffee!" Yukinoshita Haruno raised her hand to place her order.

"You want my hand-cranked coffee for only 500 yen? And you want the origin of the coffee? We only have machine-brewed coffee here, take it or leave it."

“Alright then, at least it’s not instant coffee powder.” Yukinoshita Haruno accepted regretfully.

"Is Ms. Shizuka still the same as before?" He looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"Well, please."

"learn."

He walked to the side and served each of them a cup of coffee and a cup of hot cocoa.

"3Q~"

"Thank you."

After picking up their drinks, they began to enjoy the pastries.

"Wow~ This little cake tastes amazing! Your skills are still as good as ever, bro!" Yukinoshita Haruno covered her mouth and smiled after taking a bite of the cake.

"Although I also enjoy cooking, my skills are no match for yours. It seems your culinary skills are probably superior to mine."

"Let me tell you something you don't know." Sakurakoji Saiya poured himself a cup of relaxing fruit tea, enjoying it with his eyes half-closed while making sarcastic remarks.

"Hey buddy, seriously, how about you come work as my chef? I'll pay you a really high salary!"

Sitting next to Hiratsuka Shizuka, Iji Tomoka frowned and looked at her unhappily. This child really has no respect for others. She started to poach her boyfriend right in front of her.

At the same time, he glanced worriedly at Sakurakoji Takayuki, wondering what his attitude would be.

If this guy dares to be persuaded to resign so easily, I'll never let him join Fanxing again!

"Forget it, Chiba is too far away, it's inconvenient for me to go to school." He answered casually without even lifting his eyelids, "Besides, the salary and benefits our boss pays are not low."

If someone takes every word Yukino Yukinoshita says seriously, then that's how their life will be.

Ijichi Hoshika relaxed her lips, picked up the juice on the table and took a sip, finding it even sweeter than a lollipop.

"Yes, that is indeed a problem. Never mind then." She ended the topic simply, leaving one unsure whether she was joking.

However, the conclusion of one issue does not mean the end of the dialogue.

"But, going to school during the day and working full-time at night, aren't you tired?" She was very curious and admired his superhuman stamina. Even she had never been so crazy back then.

Of course, she didn't have any particular motive for doing so.

"As long as you manage the frequency of skipping classes and work in a reasonable way, it won't be too tiring," said Sakurakoji Saiki, sharing his experience.

However, his words earned him a roll of his eyes from Ichiji Seika.

This guy actually dared to say that to my face the day after I took leave.

The reason I gave for taking leave last night was: to help a lost and love-starved girl realize her dream!

Does she look like such a stupid fool? How could you send her such a reason!

Why not just say you're going out to pick up girls and go on dates?

She wondered which girl he had been fooling around with. Thinking about this, she became increasingly annoyed. She unconsciously started blowing bubbles at the cardboard box, her gaze towards him filled with hostility.

"Only you could say something like that, right?" Yukinoshita Haruno said helplessly. "Being able to handle so many things at the same time is something that not everyone can do."
