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

Is forming a band just child's play? Can't we learn from Ikkyu-ni next door?

"Mr. Talent!" RUPA gasped in surprise, his usually mature and composed beauty instantly flushing crimson. "What are you doing here? Oh wait, when did you get here?"

"You've arrived..." Ebizuka Tomo pinched a strand of his hair, glanced sideways, and greeted him shyly.

She initially harbored resentment towards him because of RUPA, but considering the birthday gift he gave her last time, she couldn't keep a straight face. In short, her feelings were very complicated and difficult.

"You came this morning, but you had already gone out to work by then," he explained simply, then his face hardened. "I think I heard someone discussing leaving the team just now. Who was it?"

"They're completely disregarding me, their band manager!"

He took a few steps forward, bent down, lowered his gaze, and brought his face close to Ebizuka Satoshi's, looking at her with suspicion.

In Ebizuka Tomo's eyes, his handsome, bewitching appearance drew ever closer, and his gentle voice lingered in her ears, causing her to shyly look away, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly, and the tips of her ears turning a tender red.

Sakura Koji narrowed his eyes in satisfaction at her shy and adorable reaction, resisting the urge to hug this kitten-like girl and roughly pluck her fur.

Her personality is quite similar to a cat's. She's adorable when she's not talking, but she hisses when she's stressed.

Fortunately, the gift offensive from last time seems to have worked; at least now she's too embarrassed to breathe on him for no reason.

It seems the two little lizards were quite useful!

Otherwise, why would he send live animals? Isn't it because every time she sees them and feeds them, she inevitably thinks of him?

Tsk tsk, what a despicable adult he is, oh ho ho ho~

"It's because this band has absolutely no cohesion!" Ebizuka Satoshi mustered his courage, defiantly turning his head to meet his gaze, even squeezing forward a little.

But he didn't back down at all, just let her rush forward. When her beautiful face was about to collide with his lips, she was terrified and hurriedly retreated even further, taking a small step back.

This action made her even more embarrassed, feeling ashamed to face him. She turned directly to face RUPA and buried her already flushed face in his chest.

“So Momoka and the others said it was just a misunderstanding, right? 486 is a very trustworthy kid.” Sakurakoji Cai stopped teasing her. “If you think that way too, then our band is really doomed.”

When he said "our band," both Ebizuka Tomo and RUPA were moved, and an indescribable feeling spread through their chests.

They had almost forgotten that he was also a member of the band.

Ebizuka Tomo slowly turned his head to the side, stealing a glance over, his eyes filled with resentment: "Our band, my foot! Do you even have a band member like you who's only seen for half a month?"

Speaking of this, she felt a surge of dissatisfaction.

RUPA thought that after joining the band, he would have more opportunities to meet and interact with him, but since joining the band last time, he has disappeared for half a month and they haven't seen each other at all!

Her plan to have her provide support from the sidelines completely failed, which really infuriated her!

"Uh... I have my reasons, and I'm just a supporting manager—okay, I was wrong, but here I am, aren't I?" He scratched his head sheepishly, looking a little embarrassed.

"Ash, Mr. Talent is also very busy, and the ones who really need to perform are the five of us..." Rupa tried to smooth things over for him.

Ebizuka looked up at her with exasperation. "At a time like this, you're still talking to him?"

Do you really think it's okay to not see him for a long time?

"Alright, let's not stand here anymore, let's go inside."

Realizing that continuing in this manner was not the best course of action, he began to shift his focus.

The three walked into the living room. Rupa looked around and then asked, "Is Mr. Caihua alone?"

"Hmm, 486 hasn't come back yet. Momoka went to work, and Nina should be studying in her room."

"I see." She nodded understandingly.

"Please have a seat, I'll prepare some tea for you."

"No need! We can do it ourselves!" RUPA quickly went over and, ignoring her fatigue from just finishing work, started preparing with him.

A few minutes later, the three of them sat on a soft, comfortable sofa, sipping fragrant black tea, feeling a sense of peace.

Sakurakoji's talent goes without saying, while the other two had serene expressions and blank eyes, seemingly having forgotten all the fatigue from work.

Suddenly, something came to mind. He took in the kitten's adorable expression and, wanting to tease her again, started a conversation:

"By the way, do you guys have any favorite movies, TV shows, or celebrities?"

"What? Why are you suddenly asking this?" Ebizuka Tomo frowned and looked at him warily.

After what just happened, she is now very careful about his every move.

However, while she cared, her best friend didn't. Perhaps she thought it was just a normal conversation topic, so she quickly exposed her: "I don't have anything special, but Xiaozhi really likes watching 'Detective Grandma's Case Files'."

Sakurakoji felt that her smile seemed even brighter than usual: "I watch each update at least three times, and I always cry at the end!"

Could it be that his acting is usually forced upon him for the sake of making a living, making him appear somewhat stiff, and now that the pressure of life is a little less, he has relaxed after returning to his nest with his teammates? He speculated.

"You don't need to say anything unnecessary!" Ebizuka Tomo said, holding his teacup, closing his eyes, and puffing out his cheeks with a hint of embarrassment.

"Hey~ I see." He finished thinking and looked thoughtful. "Speaking of 'Detective Grandma's Case Files,' isn't it a super popular long-running drama series starring An and Tendo-sensei, right?"

"Hi~ that's right." RUPA replied with a smile.

"Hmph~ Is that so..."

"What? What's wrong with this?" Ebizuka Satoshi said irritably, clearly annoyed by his appearance.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that I know someone who's on good terms with Ms. Tendo, maybe I can get an autographed photo from her." Sakurakoji Sai glanced at her carefully.

To prevent her from realizing what was happening, he deliberately avoided using her surname when addressing her.

"What?!" Ebizuka Tomo's rose-red eyes widened in disbelief. "Really?!"

"Hmm, it should be fine."

"!!!" Ebizuka Tomo tightly pursed her lips, her sitting body extremely restless, constantly raising and lowering her eyes at him, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

I want to say it, but I'm too embarrassed to.

"Haha..." RUPA completely understood her inner struggle and helplessly pleaded on her behalf: "Mr. Caihua, could you please ask that acquaintance of yours to help us get an autographed photo of the teacher?"

"Please, I'll do anything."

She lowered her head and pleaded sincerely.

“RUPA doesn’t need to do this, it’s not like you wanted it, right?” He teased, meeting Ebizuka Tomo’s gaze.

"If someone were willing to call me Onii-chan, that wouldn't be so bad..."

"Ugh!!!" Ebizuka Tomo couldn't help but let out a groan, his slender fist turning white, the knuckles protruding clearly visible.

Volume 1: The Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 194 The Power of Body and Mind

She trembled for a long time, her pink lips chattering, and the tears of resentment in her eyes contrasted sharply with the peach-colored skin beside her.

RUPA looked at her worriedly, afraid that she might suddenly explode—whether in anger or tears.

Finally, her symptoms gradually subsided. She stared at Sakurakoji Takashi with a mixture of grief and disgust, her red lips parting slightly: "You...you did..."

"Oh, right, if I really beg you, maybe I can get close to your film crew and watch you film on set." He seemed to suddenly remember, tapping his palm as he added:

"And if nothing unexpected happens, taking a photo with her shouldn't be a problem."

"Huh? Really?!" RUPA next to him lightly covered his mouth and nose, incredulous: "Anwa and Tendo-sensei are known for not being able to get close to their fans..."

“Of course, since I’ve said that, it must be true.” He nodded seriously, his eyes closed. “I never lie.”

"..." Ebizuka Tomo's tense body relaxed, his face blank, and his eyes staring blankly into the air.

"What should we do, Ash..." Rupa, who was standing next to him, didn't know what to say either; she couldn't help at all.

Moreover, this is really attractive to Ash...

"Oh, oh..."

"What? The sound was too soft, I can't hear it." Sakurakoji Sai put his hand to his ear in confusion, as if he really couldn't hear it.

"Oh! Oh! Oh..." Ebizuka Tomo blushed, her delicate face turning a pitiful red, her shy virgin lips like bee wings.

"What do you mean, 'Oh'?" He couldn't hold back any longer, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Onii-chan!!!" She suddenly sat up, shouting out the word that made her feel ashamed, then her body went limp and collapsed onto the sofa.

"Hmm~ I heard you clearly now." He felt a surge of pleasure from his lower body to his head, an indescribable comfort throughout his body.

It's just a word, so why does it have such magic?

Mingming has been calling him "Shili" for so many years, and he hasn't seemed to care at all. Why does he seem so happy when he's bullying other girls?

"Ah, Ash and Rupa, you're back!"

Just as Ebizuka Satoshi felt so ashamed that he was crying in Rupa's arms, Iori Nina came out of the room with a water glass in her hand.

"Speaking of which, it was so noisy just now. What was that sound? It sounded like... something like that?" She lifted her eyelids, looking puzzled.

"It's nothing, we were just joking." Sakurakoji Sai waved her hand to indicate that she shouldn't take it to heart.

"Oh, I see..." She really didn't seem to care and went to the kitchen to get some water. "But Mr. Caihua, did Subaru-chan tell you what time we're going to the film set tomorrow?"

"I don't know, it should be released tomorrow morning."

"I see."

"Huh?" RUPA froze, a bad feeling rising in her heart. "What film crew?"

"Oh right, you guys don't know yet." Izare Nina came out of the kitchen, "We asked Subaru-chan to let us go to the set where she and her grandma are filming tomorrow to watch them. Her grandma is a very famous celebrity!"

"Her grandmother's name could be..."

Ebizuka Tomoya stared at Sakurakoji Saiki with a shocked expression, clearly already having a guess in his mind.

"Anhe Tiantong is the old lady who filmed 'Detective Grandma's Case Files'."

Click!

For some reason, everyone heard the sound of a heart breaking.

"...It's almost time, I should go take a shower and go to bed. Goodnight everyone!" He didn't dare to look into someone's eyes and quickly made his escape.

"Is it so early today?"

Without answering Jing Qinrencai's question, he simply quickened his pace.

Before long, he heard a humanoid roar behind him that he couldn't quite make out, and he heard Inoue Rina's bewildered surprise.

……

"So, in Part 6 of 'Detective Grandma's Case Files,' this is Ms. Anwa Tendo, who plays Grandma."

"Please guide me," a white-haired, yet dignified and vigorous elderly woman in a kimono replied slowly.

"I am Subaru, Grandma's granddaughter. I will be playing the role of a shop assistant. Please take good care of me!" Anhe Subaru bowed politely to those around her.

Clap clap... Applause rang out.

"The makeup looks so exaggerated..." Jingqin Rencai couldn't understand.

“If you don’t do it to that level, you won’t be able to tell the difference,” Momoka Kawahara explained to her. “The same goes for bands; when they go on stage, it gets really exaggerated.”

"Hey, do you want to put on makeup?"

"It depends."

"Hmm..." Izayoi imagined what she and her would look like after they had that kind of makeup done.

"Don't imagine it..." Momoka Kawara sighed, resting her arms on her hands, then glanced at Saitama Sakurakoji, "So, what did you do this time?"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't play dumb. I'm asking why Ash is being so hostile towards you today?"

“Really? I didn’t feel anything.” He gestured with his eyes to the excited Ebizuka Satoshi beside him. “Or rather, she wasn’t even looking in my direction, was she?”

"Do you... take me for a fool?" Momoka Kawahara's eyes were subtle. "Since this morning, she gets furious whenever she sees you, then turns her head away and snorts. What's going on? Did you lay a hand on her?"

"Why do you always think of this? Can't you be a little more pure in your thinking... I was just telling the truth, but she misunderstood it."

"Is that so? What kind of truth is it?"

“I told her I know someone who is Anwa Tendo-sensei, and if she calls me Onii-chan, I will introduce her to her.”

“You—” Kawara Momoka looked at him like he was scum, “What a twisted sense of humor.”
