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

"But you weren't lying, were you?"

"I'm almost impressed by how you can make the truth sound so awful."

"Thanks for the compliment."

"But will Subaru confess to her grandmother today?"

"I don't know, it depends on her."

"What? Didn't you go to her house yesterday?" Kawara Momoka asked in surprise.

"Yes, but I just told her it was up to her and didn't give her any advice. Nina, on the other hand, suggested that she just be honest."

"That's it..."

The group turned their attention to the grandfather and grandson on the stone bridge, watching the film crew shoot in silence.

……

Filming temporarily ended a few hours later.

Following their two acquaintances, Iori Rina and Kawara Momoka, they arrived at the rest seats next to Anwa Tendo.

"that……"

“Oh my,” An and Tendo noticed the two of them, “you’re Subaru’s…”

Hi, thank you for your help the other day.

"excuse me."

She bowed twice in greeting.

"Who are the people behind them?" Her gaze shifted to the three people behind them, and when she looked at Sakurakoji's talent, a look of amazement flashed in her eyes.

"Ah, they are Subaru's friends, just like us."

"Oh? You're also a classmate from the arts school?"

"Well, for now..." Ishigami Rina forced herself to reply against her will, despite her discomfort.

"A talent school?" Ebizuka Tomo frowned in surprise before RUPA covered his mouth.

Anhe Tiantong looked them over and was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected that their average looks were about the same as her granddaughter's. Then she said softly and kindly, "You all have very good looks. If your acting skills are also up to par, you will have a bright future."

"Thank you for your compliment. I am Sakurakoji Caihua, and I am good friends with 486-chan." He took two steps forward and gave a slight, traditional bow.

As the band's manager and core member (in his own opinion), he felt it was necessary to shield his disgraceful teammates from criticism.

“Hmm…” A glint of light flashed in Anhe Tiantong’s eyes. He stared at him for a while and began to observe him more carefully.

A hush fell over the room; no one dared to interrupt, intimidated by her imposing presence. Only when the four people beside her felt they couldn't take it anymore did she finally stop.

“It seems Subaru has a very good friend,” she lowered her eyes, a faint smile appearing on her slightly wrinkled face. “Ah, I didn’t mean the others are bad, please don’t misunderstand.”

"No, no!" X4

Jing Qinren and the others all shook their heads.

"But what do you mean by that?" Unable to contain her curiosity, Izayoi looked left and right between the two. "I don't see what Mr. Caihua did at all."

Is this what they call the clash of invisible auras between powerful figures?! (Company name)

“This child…may I call you Caihua?” Anhe Tiantong asked for his opinion.

"Please feel free." He casually raised his hands.

“Your talent and demeanor are very complete, unlike the impatient kids these days,” she said, glancing at Serina Izayoi and expressing her appreciation for her courage (recklessness), before explaining to her.

"Although the movements look as casual as those of today's young people, they don't appear frivolous because they are always putting in effort."

"The fact that he didn't panic even after staring at me for so long, and that his gaze and body language never wavered, is evidence that he has instilled this power in his mind and body."

Anwa Tendo looked at Iori Rin and Kawara Momoka, and pressed his hand to his chest: "Didn't I say this a couple of days ago? Posture is very important. Your usual words and actions will inadvertently seep into your acting skills, so you must always maintain a good physical and mental state."

“In this respect, the talent’s mind and actions have become one, and there is no need to deliberately polish and maintain it. Every move is his own. Yes, if I had to describe it in one word, it would be ‘returning to simplicity’.”

She looked at him with admiring eyes, saying, "I never expected Subaru to have a friend like you. I really hope Subaru can learn from you."

"You flatter me." Sakurakoji Saiki lowered his gaze modestly, sighing inwardly.

Maintaining this posture all the time is exhausting, you know. If it weren't for the need to quickly make an impression, who would want to stay like this forever?

Life is so short and painful, isn't it better to relax and enjoy it?

Well, although he has been enduring a lot of pain that shouldn't be his age, this level of suffering doesn't feel that bad at all...

Because through her kimono attire, actions, and tone of voice, he could roughly discern her conservative and classical personality, coupled with her professional identity as an actress, he used this method in a targeted manner.

If it were someone else, they would probably be dressing up for a blind person.

Volume 1: The Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 195 Grandma! I have something to tell you!

"Eh~ Is that so..." Jingqin Rencai stared at him in disbelief, feeling as if she was talking nonsense.

But she is a famous actress and star, so she wouldn't deliberately make up lies to deceive them, right?

"It sounds reasonable, but I can't see it at all." Kawara Momoka squinted and opened her eyes, changing positions up and down, but still couldn't see anything that made him different from them.

But it does seem very stable and natural?

"Hmph~ To be praised like this by Detective Grandma, you don't seem to be completely useless after all." Ebizuka Tomo rested his breasts on his hand, his opinion of him somewhat changed.

"..." Sakurakoji's gaze at her was indescribable.

Is the power of idols to believe everything others say?

Oh dear, it's hopeless.

"But there seems to be a hint of acting in your body language, though it's not obvious. Did you borrow someone's movements?" Anwa Tendo took a sip of water from the staff member holding the umbrella behind him and continued to ask questions.

Huh? You can tell that? His pupils widened slightly, full of surprise.

No, you really are a detective? Is there such an advantage to acting?

"Well, I have a friend who's also a famous actress, and I did a little imitation of her." He shrugged, as if giving up, truly impressed.

"Really? But what belongs to others will always be theirs. No matter how hard you try, it will still look a little unnatural."

"Yeah, I didn't expect to make such a fool of myself on my first attempt at imitation. I won't do it again next time." He wholeheartedly agreed.

"..." Anhe Tiantong opened his mouth, staring directly at him, his pupils suddenly trembled violently, and the plastic bottle in his hand shook.

What are you talking about?

She thought that as An and Mao's classmate and a student at the acting academy, he must have imitated the acting skills of many famous actors and practiced countless times in private to achieve such an effect.

Even so, they are still excellent enough, considering they are still young.

But you tell her that today is the first time you've imitated that person?

Anhe Tiantong fell silent, unsure of what to say or how to praise him.

"...What is the actor's name?"

Her stage name is Ito Sakuri.

“Ah~ that child,” she thought of the recently rising star, whom she had met not long ago. “Speaking of which, she has white hair just like you, although the color is different.”

"...It's a long story." His face turned bitter, a rare occurrence for him.

"It's so strange that Mr. Caihua would make such an expression!" Jingqin Rencai exclaimed in surprise.

"Speaking of Ito Sakuri, is she that recently famous high school star? Do you still recognize her?"

"Hey, isn't that the one who won an award overseas? Even I, who doesn't watch TV much, know him."

"..." Ebizuka Tomo just looked at him without saying a word.

Sakurakoji waved wearily, feeling exhausted just thinking about her: "It's all trivial, not worth mentioning."

"It really is Versailles..."

"If I ask her for help, will she let you play the male lead?" Momoka Kawara asked curiously.

"Heh," he chuckled softly, his face ashen. "Supporting roles are fine, but as for the male lead... if there's a price to pay, he probably will too, but I absolutely refuse!"

"Why? It's such a rare opportunity! If it were me, I would definitely accept it!"

"Oh? You mean you'd accept any price?" He scrutinized her from head to toe.

"...What price are you talking about?" Momoka Kawara sensed something was wrong.

"For example, chastity and such."

"Never mind then, thank you!" She decisively shook her head and refused, "Besides, she's a girl, she wouldn't be interested in me."

“It’s okay, she’s bisexual, so you should still have a chance,” Sakurakoji Sai said with a sly smile.

"Huh! Really?!"

"Maybe it's true." That is, if he's dressed as a woman.

"But the other party is quite famous, right? Why would they be interested in..." She glanced at Sakurakoji Takashi, "Uh, no, it's nothing."

The air grew still, and everyone knew what she wanted to say, staring intently at her.

"No, but is this enough for today? Um, that's the filming!" Realizing she had said the wrong thing, Iori quickly changed the subject.

“Yes, today’s filming is over. This is the first time I’ve acted with Subaru.” Anwa Tendo closed his eyes with satisfaction.

“That’s wonderful,” Momoka Kawara said.

“This has always been my dream.” She looked into the distance, focusing on An and Subaru, who were still performing, “to appear in the same production as that child.”

“Hmph, um…” Izare Nina shrank back, her brows furrowed, and countless red and black lines appeared behind her (from Sakurakoji Sai’s perspective).

Oh no, another domain expansion!

"So you still hope she becomes an actress?" Izare Nina asked.

“Of course,” she said without hesitation. “Subaru’s name is the same as the name of the character I played in my debut work.”

"My daughter hates my job because I'm never home."

"He may seem so remarkable on the surface, but he doesn't care about his family at all."

"So, I was really happy when Subaru said he liked my job."

"Only that child was willing to smile at me, only that child said he liked my job."

"I'm very grateful to her for saying she wanted to give it a try."

As the truth was revealed, Anhe Tiantong's expression did not change much, but the loving feelings in his eyes became more and more abundant.

Seeing the black and red lines behind Iori Rina increasing and lengthening in her silence, Sakurakoji Sai felt it was about time to make his move.

"However, I think even if you change your job, Grandma, Subaru would still say he likes it."

"Hmm?" Anhe Tiantong looked over in surprise.

The other four women also turned their gazes to him, wondering what he wanted to say.

He said calmly and confidently, "Because 486-chan is a very sensible and perceptive child, as a friend and family member, she should be impeccable, right?"

"Even if it means she suffers some injustice, she will consider the bigger picture and try her best to balance the feelings and atmosphere of those around her. That's the kind of person she is."

"So I don't think this has anything to do with your profession, Grandma. It's because 486 likes you, so he said he likes your profession as well, right?"

He felt a bit tired from standing for so long, so he crossed his arms and leaned against a large tree next to him.

"Besides, no matter what profession you are in, once you succeed you will almost always be very busy. It is actually a minority who can take care of their families."

"Even my parents, who value family ties very much, are often so busy that they can't find the time to work. It's normal for them to work for weeks on end. That's just how things are with careers."

"I don't think this has anything to do with profession, does it?"

Jingqin Rencai, who was standing next to her, also realized what was going on and quickly nodded in agreement: "Oh, oh! I think this is inevitable no matter what profession you're in. The important thing is whether you can genuinely like it!"

An and Tiantong were also surprised, not expecting them to say that.

"Thank you for your comfort, but it's true that I neglected my family for work, so I can't blame my daughter for disliking me."

No, we're not trying to comfort you, Jing Qinrencai's face stiffened.

Sometimes, people's joys and sorrows are truly not shared.
