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

"Okay, that's enough! Let's begin the inspection!"

Just then, the sounds of the film crew nearby rang out, and An and Tiantong ended their conversation with them, getting up and walking over there.

"Well then, let's check it out." She walked to the computer seat where the video footage was recorded.

"Grandma!" Anhe Mao jumped from a distance to her and bent down slightly.

"Ah~ You've worked hard!"

After stealing glances at her for a few seconds, An and Subaru hesitated before mustering their courage.

"Well, there's something I'd like to tell you."

"Something to say? What is it?" Anhe Tiantong didn't even look up, continuing to stare at the computer screen.

"I was planning to talk about it later, but we're going to miss the Shinkansen, aren't we?"

"Yes, it's about time we left."

"Is that so? Hmm!" An and Subaru put their hands behind their backs and clasped them together. "Well then, I'll talk about it!"

"listen to me!"

Anhe Tiantong finally raised his head, his smile kind and his gentle gaze meeting hers.

"Um...I...actually..."

"Grandma...I...I actually..."

The five members of Sakurakoji, who were standing in the distance, took in her anxious expression and actions.

"Is she alright?" Ebizuka Satoshi was the first to question, biting his lip and standing on tiptoe to express his impatience.

"Probably, after all, Subaru is a very capable kid," RUPA answered her first.

Momoka Kawahara crossed her arms behind her head, a hint of worry in her eyes: "While she is indeed very capable, it might be difficult for her to speak up in this kind of situation, right?"

"Ugh...uh...uh..." Izana gritted her teeth, frowned, grinned, and clenched her fists, struggling with whether or not to go up and stop her self-destruction.

"They said it would be a week, but it only took one day to film. Don't you think that's strange?" Sakurakoji leaned against the tree trunk, mimicking Kawara Momoka by putting her hands behind her head, and asked the question that concerned her the most.

"Although they said it would take about a week to finish, is a day still within a week?"

From the night before last, when Anwa Subaru received the news that Anwa Tendou had arrived, to the morning before last when he issued the notice to leave the team, and then being chased to school by Iori and Rina, where he met Anwa Tendou, and then visiting her house yesterday... isn't this all happening a bit too fast?

"Hmm?"

The other four people's various colorful emotions vanished instantly, and they stared at him with strange expressions.

No, what are you thinking about at such an important time!

……

On the other side of the main battlefield,

"Grandma...I...I actually..."

After hesitating for a long time, An and Subaru tried to speak their minds several times, but each time their words reached their tongues, an inexplicable force pulled them back, preventing them from saying them.

Just as she took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and prepared to muster her courage once again to launch the final assault.

P.S.: Today's four chapters are to make up for yesterday's, I kept my word!

Volume 1: A Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 196 The Master of Kyoto is Still a Master of Kyoto

Are you trying to say that you don't actually want to be an actor?

Before she could finish speaking, Anhe Tiantong, seemingly helpless, relaxed his brow and looked at his beloved granddaughter with a half-smile. At the same time, he let out a sigh, his whole body relaxing, and his previously maintained posture momentarily faltered.

"That's right! This is it... Huh?!"

An and Mao stood frozen in place, their large, crystal-clear eyes blinking in disbelief as they stared intently at their grandmother.

No! How did you know?! I haven't even told you yet!

A deafening scream also came from a group of onlookers not far behind.

While they were distracted by Sakurakoji's talent and not paying attention, the plot seemed to take an unexpected turn?

"Grandma, how did you know..." An He'ang hesitated, a hint of melancholy clouding his usually lively and cheerful expression.

Anwa Tendo turned to the side and looked at Sakurakoji Saiki and his group: "Your friends have reminded me so many times, if I still don't realize it, then I must be getting old and blind."

"I wasn't sure at first, but seeing you like this, I completely understand. You've rarely hesitated like this in your life."

“Grandma…” Anhe Mao pursed his lips, which had been overly painted red by the makeup artist, his facial features twitching, and then he bowed sharply at a ninety-degree angle: “I’m so sorry!”

"But I also realized that I might not be suited to be an actor! I've found what I really want to do!"

"But that absolutely doesn't mean I hate this profession! Really!"

Anhe Tiantong took in her every move, and after a long ten seconds, he sighed leisurely: "Really... after teaching you for so long, only now have you truly achieved unity of mind and body."

"It seems you're really not suited to be an actor; you're just too untalented."

An and Subaru looked up at her in surprise and disbelief, their hearts filled with mixed emotions. They stood up, clasped their hands together, and swayed them from side to side while pouting.

Anhe Tiantong chuckled at her performance and looked at the people behind her: "They're not actors either, are they?"

"Did you notice?" An and Subaru were surprised again.

What exactly happened during the time she was acting?

"Of course. If it were just the two girls from that day, it would be fine, but how can so many cute girls with no trace of acting skills from an entertainment school appear all at once?"

"Moreover, they are more like idols than actors."

"Hahaha..." Anhe Subaru awkwardly scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.

"But that child over there is different."

“That child…you mean Caihua?” Anhe Mao followed her gaze, his eyes filled with confusion. “What’s wrong with Caihua?”

“That child is flawless in both mind and body, and may even be more natural than me. His acting talent is terrifying, and he has no shortage of connections—if he were studying professionally, he wouldn’t be hanging around with you guys and would still be unknown.” Anhe Tiantong glanced at her sideways, which was rather pathetic.

"..." Anhe Mao's eyebrows twitched violently. If the other party wasn't her grandmother, she might have been unable to resist saying "Huh?".

What the heck is "acting skills"? How come she never noticed it? And what does "connections" mean? Why is all of this information unknown to her?

What did you two talk about while she was away?

"I don't know anything about his connections, but he is indeed quite wealthy. He must be the young master of some family." Anhe Mao spread his hands. "But how could his acting skills earn such high praise from you, Grandma? Hongdou-ni?"

“If it’s just a regular acting scene, whether it’s good or bad, as long as you practice, you can generally perform it to a certain extent. But that child is different.” Anhe Tiantong shook his head. “He can express the deeper temperament of the character in every move, which is an essential quality to become a first-class actor.”

"If he's willing to pursue this path, he might become even more successful than I was back then."

"Such a high evaluation?" Anhe Mao blinked Mei Zi's eyes, not quite believing it.

Although she didn't know much about what happened back then, her grandmother was a super newcomer who became a sensation from her debut work. How could she possibly catch up with or surpass her?

“Hmph…” Anhe Tiantong saw through her thoughts at a glance, closed his eyes and smiled, “After all, whether it’s strength or external conditions, he is stronger than I was back then.”

"...Speaking of which, you just said he might be the eldest son of some family, what's that all about?"

She snapped out of her reverie and opened her eyes to look at her granddaughter with curiosity.

“Uh…” An and Subaru twitched their lips, and beads of sweat began to appear on their foreheads.

Oh no! I accidentally let it slip!

She wasn't worried about the impact of Sakurakoji's talent, but... well, since things had already come to this point, she might as well say it.

"Actually..." She explained the whole story.

"I see..." After listening to Anwa Subaru's explanation, Anwa Tendo finally understood the whole story. "You guys are playing in a band now."

"Hmm..." An and Subaru lowered their heads awkwardly, their fingers behind their backs twitching.

"Although I don't know much about bands, the competition in this field seems quite fierce. Are you confident you can succeed, especially with the current members?"

“I’m not sure, but I want to try!” Anhe Subaru said firmly.

“Ha…” Anhe Tiantong couldn’t help but sigh again.

Having just escaped the situation of my granddaughter's rebellion, I already have to start worrying about her future. Is this what it means to be an elder?

However, the child's surname is Sakurakoji, so could he also be from an old noble family? If so, it's not surprising that he used ancient etiquette just now.

Come to think of it, she seemed to have heard this surname somewhere before, but they weren't very close. From what she remembered, it seemed to be related to the education industry.

"What are you talking about, 486-chan? Shouldn't you be saying it will definitely succeed?" Sakurakoji Sai walked over from a distance, his face full of disappointment.

"Are you trying to convince Grandma or not? Do you think reality is like a comic book, where your family will agree just because you say you want to try?"

He stepped between the two and joined the conversation, his red eyes wide with disbelief at her previous answer.

"Huh?! Caihua! What are you doing here?"

“If I don’t come soon, I’m afraid you’ll be taken home and locked up! That would really hinder the band’s development, you know?” he replied irritably. “At this point, even if you’re making things up, you still have to express our confidence and strengths!”

"Wouldn't you do the same thing when submitting a resume and going for an interview? Where's your usual confidence?"

He and the others had been eavesdropping on their conversation from a short distance away. Although they were a little surprised that An and Tiantong had seen through their plan beforehand, it didn't seem to matter much, since she didn't appear to be very angry or opposed to it.

But An and Subaru's answer stunned everyone. Even vegetable vendors would at least give a shout, but at such a crucial moment, did you expect to rely on your naive and shallow teenage heart to make an extremely traditional old man understand your choice? Or would he agree to let you start a band?

Don't you know how chaotic the relationships are and how fierce the competition is in our band circle?

Although the entertainment industry is just as chaotic, at least your grandma can still take care of and protect you.

What's the difference between your statement and letting her watch her innocent, naive granddaughter (from an elder's perspective) jump into the Yellow River to swim?

“Eh, eh—” An and Subaru were at a loss for words at his accusation. “Isn’t that lying? In front of Grandma?”

"What does it matter? You're always crying anyway..."

“Nothing! That’s not what he meant!” Anhe Mao forcefully covered his mouth and nose, choking him so he couldn’t say a word. He hurriedly explained to Anhe Tiantong.

"Ha...you should put that child down first." An and Tiantong subtly twitched their faces, shocked by their way of getting along.

"Ah, hi!"

After being released, Sakurakoji glared at her resentfully, feeling that he had no right to judge her for her hypocritical and deceitful behavior. Oh well, everyone has their struggles.

"Ahem." He turned his attention back to the matter at hand.

However, even though that's what he said... he glanced at Anhe Tiantong. This old lady, although she looked kind and friendly, was not as simple as she seemed.

To paraphrase An and Subaru, it's because she's from Kyoto that she likes to speak in riddles and can't be talked to using common sense (a milkman from Kyoto is still a milkman, right?).

This is even more true if we deduce clues from surnames.

Her name was undoubtedly Anwa Tendo when she first debuted before getting married. Anwa Subaru shares the same surname as her, and she also has a daughter... If she didn't have a son, then her family would be a matrilineal family.

Even more outrageous than him, at least his mother took his maternal grandfather's surname.

In such families, the maternal side tends to be more assertive in both personality and strength—evidence of this is his own actions.

But to say that persuading her would be very difficult would not be an exaggeration.

Even if he hadn't come today, she should have already realized that An and Subaru were hiding something. Even without other changes, she would probably have accepted it in the end, since she secretly went to see their performance at the later grassland music festival.

But as the band manager, he still had to eliminate any possible variables as early as possible—he really didn't have time to take detours.

"Please allow me to introduce myself again. I am the manager of their band, Sakurakoji Saiki desu."

"Well, you came all this way specifically to tell me something, right?" Anhe Tiantong maintained his calm and composed demeanor.

“That’s true. What I wanted to say was…” Sakurakoji pointed his index finger to the sky, then twirled his wrist: “Are you free tonight?”

"Huh?!" An and Subaru tilted their heads, their voices trembling. "Talent! What are you talking about?"

"No, what I mean is, no matter how much you explain it, nothing beats seeing it for yourself, right?"

Volume 1: The Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 197 I will be responsible for them for the rest of my life!

“That’s true! But…” Anwa Subaru hesitated, glancing at his grandmother, “Grandma is very busy; she has to catch the Shinkansen later.”

Although it's not that they hate it, I doubt many grandchildren would enjoy spending too much time with their dignified grandparents.

“It’s alright, isn’t it? I think this matter is worthwhile for Grandma to postpone her later appointment.” He looked her in the eye, conveying his earnest feelings.
