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

"Ahem..." An and Subaru's expressions fell into dismay, feeling like fools for worrying that they would feel constrained.

"But, is your grandmother not staying here these days?" He glanced around the room and asked casually.

"She has to stay with the film crew, after all, it's work."

"I see."

A moment later, she brought over three glasses of "real iced black tea"—that is, black tea with ice added, which should have been cooled and placed in the refrigerator long ago.

“It’s very comfortable to play games in this,” she said to Jing Qinrencai, who was completely nestled in the foam chair.

"Thank you." X 2

The two thanked her.

“Nina is one thing, but I didn’t expect you, Sai, to come too. Do you also think I might leave the band?” She looked at Sakurakoji Sai, who was drinking iced tea with a curious expression.

He stared intently at the bright red glass in his hand. This kind of magical drinking style wouldn't be allowed in his own home, would it?

Well, although he has tried it before, he's used to the demonic path anyway, but if Asuri and the others do that, they will probably be stopped.

Hearing the voice, he looked over and said, "No, I just came over to hang out since I had nothing to do this afternoon. I have a lot of confidence in 486-chan and I didn't mean to try to persuade you."

“I see…” Anhe Subaru’s expression relaxed slightly.

"Eh! Is that so?" Izuru Ishii turned around abruptly.

"Didn't I say that before? Why are you so surprised?"

"Because, because!"

"Okay, let's stop talking now," An and Subaru stopped her, then picked up the remote control. "Take a look at this."

The huge display screen turned on without delay, and a black and white film began to play.

The first frame that caught their eyes was a cute girl with black hair—although it was strange to distinguish hair color in a black and white film, they intuitively felt that she must have black hair.

The girl was wearing a white dress—well, that's just intuition.

Her face is 80% similar to An and Subaru's, they are practically identical. In the movie, she stands alone on the beach with a natural and touching smile on her face, and her gentle eyes seem to be able to captivate you at first glance.

Sakurakoji nodded to himself. If that was the case, he could understand why it was so popular back then; it was indeed charming.

The girl in the film, decades ago, would have been the dream girl of every boy and man.

"What a beautiful person!" Even Ishii Serin couldn't help but comment.

"I think if I don't explain it to you clearly, you'll get angry and start yelling at me again." Anhe Subaru stood to the side holding the remote control and explained to Jingqin Rencai.

As the movie continues, introductory subtitles appear next to the girl: Anwa Tendo (Outstanding Newcomer).

Then comes the movie's title in hiragana: 486 (mist).

“Ah…” Jingqinrencai was taken aback.

“My name comes from this title, and Grandma said it’s good,” Anwa Subaru added.

"Could this person be..."

“Yes, I heard she became an overnight sensation because of this movie when she was young,” Anhe Mao confirmed. “But I wasn’t born then, so I’m not very clear about it.”

The two then turned their attention back to the screen.

"So it's an auspicious name... if you want to be an actor."

"But you don't want to, do you?"

“Yes, and I don’t want to be taken care of everywhere because of my grandmother’s influence.” An and Subaru walked to the TV and turned around. Her face was on the same screen as the girl’s, which made people even more certain of their relationship.

"To be honest, I don't like acting at all; it's too shameful."

She pressed the remote control and turned off the TV.

“But… when I say that this is my goal, she smiles.” She put her hands behind her back and unconsciously tiptoed, as if she was struggling with something. “Only then will she smile from the bottom of her heart, not as an act.”

“Ah…” Izayoi’s pupils contracted as images of Anwa Tendo’s smile from yesterday and photos of Kawaraki Momoka and her friends’ heartfelt joy from high school flashed through her mind.

"What do you think?" Anhe Mao walked to the leather sofa at the back and sat down, throwing the question to Jingqin Rencai.

She ignored Sakurakoji's talent because she knew that the most crucial and troublesome person right now was only one person.

"If it were water spinach, what would you do?"

"Look." After receiving no answer for a long time, she showed an expression of no surprise, threw the sofa cushion at her head, and sat cross-legged, holding her head and sighing.

"Do you understand a little better now, you bastard?"

After a moment of silence, Izayoi lowered her head and said, "However, maintaining the status quo is not a good thing."

"If you're not planning to become an actress, it's better to tell her sooner rather than later."

"Yeah, that's true." An and Subaru replied dismissively.

bump!

Jingqin Rencai threw the pillow back into her arms: "That's how it is!"

“Ah~” An and Subaru said in a resigned manner, “If I go to acting school, she will understand that I have no talent and then give up.”

“Even knowing you don’t have talent doesn’t mean you’ll give up,” Sakurakoji Sai finally spoke up after watching the show from the sidelines.

"Huh?" The two looked at him in confusion.

"As parents, it's only natural to want our children to understand us and inherit our careers," he continued.

"Even if your children are not as talented as you, it is enough to make you feel gratified if they can inherit your mantle, because it means that their efforts have been recognized by future generations."

"Being in the same field allows them to use their accumulated funds and connections to clear obstacles for their children's growth—that alone is enough to give them a sense of accomplishment."

"Parents all over the world are mostly like this. If it's a tiring job with low pay, that's one thing, but if it's a good career and family business, there's no reason not to make the most of it and give their children a sense of security, right?"

After listening to his analysis, Iori Rina and Anwa Subaru fell into thought.

“Yes, Caihua, what you said makes sense. That’s probably what Grandma thinks too,” Anhe Mao affirmed first.

“But the wishes of elders have nothing to do with one’s own choices, right?” Izare Nina retorted, frowning. “Only you can make decisions about your own life, can’t you?”

"You won't be truly happy if you only try to please others and ignore your own true feelings!"

“That’s true,” Sakurakoji Sai didn’t directly deny her point of view, “but ultimately it depends on what the real thought is, isn’t it?”

"What's the meaning……"

"Isn't 486's decision to attend acting school out of consideration for her grandmother her true intention?"

"Uh!" She was speechless for a moment.

After a pause, Izayoi stared at him somewhat angrily: "What does Mr. Talent think? Is it okay for Subaru to just give up and leave the band like this?!"

"Why do you have to think so extremely..." He was exasperated by her straightforward thinking. "Didn't 486 already tell you guys that you wouldn't give up on the band?"

"Well, if it were me, things would be much simpler."

"What's that?" An and Subaru curiously peered out, swaying their upper bodies.

“I can manage both,” he said smugly, tossing his hair and leaving the scent of his expensive shampoo from that morning in the air. “After all, I’m a genius.”

"Forehead……"

The two looked at him with expressions that were hard to describe, unable to even utter a word of anger.

"Just kidding," he said, stopping abruptly when he saw that the effect was not good. "In short, how to do it is up to 486-chan himself. We shouldn't interfere too much, Nina."

"While I understand your thinking, perhaps now is not the best time."

"Now, all we need to know is that Subaru isn't the kind of drummer who would abandon you and run away alone, right?"

"Right? Subaru-chan?"

“Yes, Caihua is right.” Anhe Subaru nodded, then looked at Iori Rina as if there was nothing he could do, and reiterated, “Don’t worry, I won’t leave.”

"Really?" Jing Qinren looked over to confirm.

"Mmm!" An and Subaru nodded affirmatively, then mimed playing the drums. "When I was playing the drums at the concert before, I felt..."

"I might actually like this by surprise!"

"Hmm..." Jing Qinrencai relaxed and smiled gently.

Seeing that she was silent, An and Subaru frowned in displeasure, got up and pounced on her, wrapping their arms around her neck.

"Ouch! O ...

"I've told you the truth! What are you going to say now?!"

"Hmm, hmm, umm!" Jingqin Rencai, who was locked up, opened one eye, her cheeks puffed out, and she didn't look angry at all.

Looking at her face, plump with collagen like a baby's, Sakurakoji raised an eyebrow, really wanting to go up and pinch it hard!

……

"I apologize for disturbing you today." Standing in front of the entrance, Jing Qinren bowed inwards.

"Okay, see you later." An and Subaru nodded.

"Then we'll take our leave for today... Oh right!" Sakurakoji suddenly remembered and turned to her to confirm, "You guys will be filming on location tomorrow, right?"

"Hmm, is that so? Interested?" Anwa Subaru tilted his head.

"Of course. If it's convenient, could we watch tomorrow? Is Rencai going?"

"Yes! I'm going!" Jingqin Rencai nodded quickly, clenching her fist as she carried her backpack.

An and Subaru replied helplessly, "I understand. I'll let you know the time and place tomorrow, and I'll pick you up when we get there."

"Okay! Then it's up to you!" Sakurakoji opened the door, and Iori Nina went out first.

He glanced at her, making sure she had walked a distance before finally meeting An and Subaru's gaze: "As for your grandmother's matter, like I just said, you just need to follow your own heart."

She looked slightly surprised, but quickly recovered: "It's okay! I was thinking I'd have to come clean eventually anyway, so maybe now's the perfect time!"

“There will be some differences between now and later…” But he didn’t intend to continue. “Well, you can decide for yourself. I’ll take care of things with Nina and the others.”

"If any problems arise, leave them to me to handle. After all, I'm the band manager."

"Hehe~" Anhe Subaru's eyes widened, and she leaned forward with her hands behind her back. With her deliberate enhancement, her delicate face became even more playful and cute. "I know! If there's anything, I'll leave it all to you, band manager!"

"Leave it to me with confidence. See you tomorrow."

"Yeah! Bye~"

……

Nighttime, at the villa.

"We are back~"

"Ah, another tiring day."

RUPA and Ebisuka Tomo dragged their weary steps as they finished their day's work and stepped into the entryway, grumbling as they changed their shoes.

"That drunkard today was such a nuisance. Can't people like that just die? He's just a nuisance to others!" Ebizuka said angrily.

"There's nothing you can do about it, you'll get used to it," RUPA comforted her.

"Ugh, I can't take it anymore. I don't know when we'll be able to actually make money from music. I don't want to do this annoying job for even a day longer." Ebizuka Tomo sighed at the hardships of life.

"Subaru said he wanted to leave the team again the other day. Seriously, what is he thinking?"

"Well, didn't Momoka and the others say it was an accident and that nothing would happen?"

"That's why I want to know what exactly happened. I'll definitely ask them about it later." Ebizuka Tomo frowned, displeased. "We don't have time to waste on this."

"If we are going to waste time on players joining and leaving the team, we might as well quit as soon as possible and rebuild a team."

“Don’t say things like that…” RUPA said with a bitter expression.

"Who said they wanted to leave the team?" A solemn voice came from the living room doorway.

Sakurakoji's talent is truly impressive. He was just about to go over and welcome the two of them when they were actually gossiping behind his back about leaving the group!

Can't you guys have a little bit of collectivism?
