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

The first to react was former heiress Ebizuka Tomo, who glared at Sakurakoji Sai and shouted, "Liar!"

"What's wrong?" An and Subaru tilted their heads.

Ebizuka ignored her and stared intently at him: "You don't mean to say that your work is the same as that of the designers at the fashion show, do you?"

"Huh? Is that so?"

"Oh, so that's what it means—wow! Isn't that amazing?!"

"Hey hey hey hey!!"

"What do you mean? How much is one piece worth?" Momoka Kawahara asked, puzzled.

"...At least the price you mentioned should be increased by several hundred or even a thousand times." Ebizuka Tomo felt frustrated and wanted to cry.

Are there really such big differences between people who are all the same?

"What did you say?!!"

"Is it...is it really that expensive?!"

"But, but! That's a price only top-tier designers can command, right?" Even An and Subaru were incoherent, unable to accept it at all.

“Yes, can you compare to them?” Ebizuka Satoshi questioned.

Sakurakoji didn't explain, but simply said, "It should be fine, after all, some of the studio design drawings you just saw were designed by me."

“…XN

Jing Qinren felt a little dizzy, her eyes swirling and unfocused, and she was completely dazed. What were they saying just now? That a work that gets featured in an exhibition is a top-notch costume designer?

So Mr. Talent is such an amazing person?!

These clothes are so expensive! I don't dare wear them at all!

"Well, I wasn't planning on giving you those kinds of clothes anyway, since most of them are flashy and impractical and not suitable for your band activities."

Seeing the utterly terrified reactions of the group, Sakura Koji shrugged and reassured them.

"Ha...that's great..."

"Indeed, I wouldn't dare to move if I actually wore those clothes."

"I never knew that such nice clothes could be a source of stress. It's such a strange experience."

"It's better to wear ordinary, durable clothes, right?"

"Uh-huh!"

Even so, after this incident (and the shock), the way the others looked at Sakurakoji's talent changed; they suddenly felt like they were targeting a big shot.

Even if they achieve great success in the future and become a famous band, their income and status will probably still not be as good as his, right?

“Don’t look at me like that… Who I am and what my profession is have nothing to do with your dreams, right?” he criticized them sharply.

As the band manager, he had to crack down hard on this unhealthy trend of sycophancy that could develop from them!

"That's true, talent is irrelevant to our goals! Hmm!" An and Subaru wiped the cold sweat from their temples and forced a cheerful atmosphere, "Everyone, cheer up!"

"That seems to be it... Alright! I get it!"

"It feels like this should be my line as the team leader..."

"Hehe, Mr. Talent is indeed Mr. Talent!"

"Hmph, I didn't feel anything."

Seeing that they had all recovered, Sakurakoji Sai nodded in satisfaction. Yes, this is how a band should be.

The band should maintain the purity of kirakira—that's what Bang Gorzu instructed.

"Then let's disband. I'm heading back to Tokyo soon; I have things to do tomorrow morning." He clapped his hands, gave the final instructions, and ended the team meeting.

"Huh? Mr. Caihua is going back to Tokyo already?" Izare Nina frowned slightly, looking a little reluctant. "It feels like I haven't been here long."

"There's nothing I can do. Tomorrow's a workday, and Caihua is very busy. Please be understanding, Nina." Kawahara Momoka placed her hand on Nina's slender shoulder, closed her eyes to comfort her, and silently took advantage of her (lol).

After realizing how "valuable" Sakurakoji's talent was, she dared not tease him like before.

"Well, the mission is complete. I have other things to do tomorrow, so I have to go there first."

"Oh, I see. We look forward to your next visit!" An and Subaru grinned, making a drumming motion.

"Oh, but... before that, you all have to compose music with your lives on your hands and practice with your lives on your hands, understand?" His face turned from sunny to gloomy, his eyes were dark and gloomy, and he stared at the five of them silently like a demon.

"If you don't meet my expectations when I come next time, you'll be in for my punishment!"

“Oh, oh…” XN

Those troublemakers who saw him in this demonic form for the first time were all terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

"By the way, what kind of punishment is it?" Jing Qinrencai, who is always straightforward, spoke up boldly on behalf of the other four.

“Sony…but punishment is only effective when it’s done without the knowledge of the perpetrator, isn’t it?” A hint of mockery flickered in his beautiful, cold, ruby-like eyes.

Evil! Evil spirits! There are evil spirits here!

Several people roared in their hearts.

……

The next day, which was the seventh day of April, was Monday of the second week of school for Ogura Asahi.

In the new week, he—no, she—just like a week before, gracefully stepped out of the car under everyone's watchful eyes and entered the school gate where boats were being rowed.

Her every move was even more elegant than the debt-ridden heiress next door, gentle yet dashing, with kind eyes that held a touch of mischief. Her androgynous charm was incredibly alluring in this girls' school!

The mere sight of her casually tossing her hair caused a burst of excited screams from those around her!

If you didn't know, who would guess that this is a cross-dressing man?

Four days have passed since his last visit to the school, including the time he took leave (absent from class).

Looking up at the distant teaching building, he sighed inwardly, feeling his PTSD was acting up again. An invisible pressure made him unconsciously want to get away.

If possible, Sakurakoji Takashi wouldn't really want to come here. Wouldn't it be better to just stay in Kawasaki and have some fun for a couple more days?

But there's no way around it; the reality doesn't allow it. Today is a woman's birthday, the perfect opportunity for him to win her favor.

That's why he was willing to take an incredibly expensive taxi last night to rush back.

At this point in time, I might be the only one who knows her birthday.

Lost in thought, he carried his lunchbox, schoolbag, and gift bag, passed several suspicious-looking men in black, and nimbly entered the teaching building.

Good morning, Chuhua.

He deliberately changed his voice and manner of speaking, greeted Mitsukasa Hatsuka who had arrived earlier, and sat down in his seat.

Goodbye, my manly self. See you after school, he thought to himself with a sense of loneliness.

"Oh my, you're here today? It's you, Xiao Chaoyang." Sanjiao Chuhua winked at him in surprise.

"Yeah, I'm here." He replied with a cool one-eyed pose.

"Don't you have work today?"

"Hmm, let's leave it at that for now."

“I see,” Misaka Hatsuka said helplessly, her alluring purple eyes sparkling. “I thought I was special enough, but I didn’t expect you, Xiao Chaoyang, to be even more outrageous than me.”

"You actually started leaving early on the second day of school, and then stopped coming on the fourth day... You really have a personality."

"Haha, it's not that great."

"Does this sound like I'm praising you for being so bold?" Sanjiao Chuhua was momentarily confused, then quickly changed the subject, "How many days will you be on this trip?"

"Hmm... I don't know," Sakurakoji gave an ambiguous answer.

I was just kidding. He's not actually coming tomorrow.

"I really want to know what your work is like, Xiao Chaoyang. You seem to be very busy." She shook her head helplessly.

"No, even if work isn't very busy, I still find the classes at school boring..." Realizing something was wrong, he quickly stopped talking.

Misaka Chuka smiled slyly: "I caught you, didn't I? You were skipping class because you didn't want to go, weren't you?"

She leaned against him, whispering intimately in his ear, her delicate yet mature fragrance filling his nostrils, stirring a slight flutter in his heart.

"...That's not true?"

"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. Anyway, with your grades, I don't need to worry about you." She shrugged as if giving up and sat back down in her original seat.

"It's rare for us to become classmates, but I rarely see you. It's a bit lonely."

"Is that so? Then let's meet up privately later, okay? We have each other's contact information anyway." He waved his phone.

"Hmm? Won't this bother you too much?"

"No, if it's with you, Chu Hua, I'm available anytime."

"Hehe~ What you said is quite tempting."

"That's exactly why I said it!"

"Haha! If you were a boy, Xiao Chaoyang, I'm afraid I'd be completely captivated by you!"

"Yeah……"

Haha, all women are liars. I hope you'll still have the guts to say that when you see me in person!

After ending his conversation with her, he turned his attention to the girl in front of him, a strong-willed woman with long, straight black hair.

"Hey, long time no see, Shiina-kun."

He raised his hand in greeting, but received no response.

Strange, she wasn't wearing headphones, so she shouldn't be unable to hear. He glanced at her round, plump earlobes.

So that was intentional? Hey, that temper of his.

He got up from his seat, took two steps forward, and then leaned over her desk, staring directly into her eyes.

"What are you doing?" Shiina Tatsuki's sharp, pinkish-purple gaze swept over.

"Good morning, Shiina-san." Sakurakoji's gentle and accommodating gaze easily accepted her unfriendly attitude.

"Good morning! Can we go back now?" Shiina Riki turned her face to the side and raised her hand to shoo him away in disgust.

"Hmm..." He remained silent, quietly watching her.

The oppressive atmosphere made Shiina Ritsuki feel uncomfortable all over. She had no choice but to meet his gaze again, her tone even colder: "What exactly do you want?"

He didn't answer, only sighed in disappointment and shook his head: "You're still angry about what happened last time? How petty of you. If it really doesn't work, I'll let you get back at me?"

"Just do it the way I did last time!"

"What?!" Shiina Tatsuki was speechless, then her face flushed crimson. "Who are you calling petty! It's not because of what happened last time!"

"Besides, April Fool's Day is over, so saying that now would just be..."

"What is it?" He looked at her with a teasing glint in his eyes and a slight chuckle.

"Ugh!!!" Shiina Ritsuki blushed and turned her head away. "There's nothing there! Go to hell! Idiot!"

When she criticized and scolded him, Sakurakoji Saiki didn't get angry at all; instead, he found her quite adorable.

Normally aloof, strict, and unsmiling, he broke down in his own way and showed a shy expression that he would never normally show. For him, who was filled with sadistic spirit, this was like a refreshing medicine that could make him feel happy and relaxed!

He stared at her beautiful profile for another 30 seconds, trying to memorize her stunning appearance, until her ears turned bright red, before finally returning to his seat, satisfied.

If he didn't feel that she might explode and rush out of the classroom if he watched any longer, he might have watched a little longer.

Upon his return, he was subjected to verbal attacks from Sanjiao Chuhua.

"Xiao Chaoyang, your personality is really awful." Sanjiao Chuhua, who had witnessed the whole thing happening right under her nose, said to him with a sigh.

"No, this is just a normal way for classmates to strengthen their friendship."

"Is your understanding of friendship a little different from mine?" She was a little dumbfounded, not knowing for a moment whether he was joking.

You better be!
