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

"Ah, Ryuna-chan! You're already here!" Ichiji Nijika called out to a spot near the bar.

There curled up a quiet little cat with snow-white fur, heterochromatic eyes, and a free-spirited style of dress, who didn't talk to anyone, was licking the green matcha in front of her with her soft, pink cat tongue.

When Hongxia came back, she didn't make a sound until she heard the other person speak to her. Then she turned her head and nodded at her with a faint expression of pleasure as a greeting.

Ichi Nijika knew without asking that her happiness wasn't related to her return.

"Wow~ You've already eaten Mr. Caihua's matcha parfait!" Looking at the food in front of her, Ijichi Nijika leaned forward.

“I want to eat too,” Yamada Ryo chimed in, then glanced at Sakurakoji Saiki, who was watching the show behind the bar.

"Pay for yourself." He glanced at her indifferently.

"Gulp!" Yamada Ryo clutched his chest and threw himself into Ijichi Nijika's arms, "Nijika~~"

"It's no use saying anything, I'm not lending you money." Her eyes, which had been as bright as a little sun just moments before, turned cold in an instant, looking at her as if she were trash.

Yamada Ryo's credit score is so low that even a matcha parfait wouldn't be enough to buy her one.

"Oh, right!" She warmly moved closer to Yao Lenai, hugging her soft and petite body, and explained the upcoming activities while petting her, "Our band added a new member last week!"

"He's a guitarist! His name is Boqi-chan! You saw him in the group chat, right?"

"She's incredibly talented! She's a well-known guitar video creator online. I'll introduce her to you, Lenai, in person later!"

"Pochi?" Yoro's eyes showed a hint of doubt.

"Ah, that's just a nickname! Her real name is Goto Ichiri, she's a very cute girl... though she's a little shy."

"No, it's more than just a little bit." Seeing that he couldn't gain any advantage, Yamada Ryo reverted to his original sarcastic tone.

"...Anyway, she'll be here soon! Then we can start the team meeting!" Ichiji Nijika hurriedly explained, "That's why I called Rakuna over today!"

“Pochi? An interesting woman?” Yoru Nai tilted her head and asked.

"Hmm... should I say it's interesting or not?" Ichiji Nijika smiled wryly.

"It's really funny, especially the way she hides in the trash can, and the way her facial expressions completely collapse and turn to ash." Yamada Ryo covered his mouth and chuckled, "Pfft! It's a masterpiece!"

"Really! That's so cool! Don't laugh at Pochi!" Ichiji Nijika waved her hand and slapped her.

"Hmm~" Kaoru imagined it in her mind for a moment, then squinted her eyes contentedly like a cat, "Pochi, an interesting woman!"

"Mo~ Renaiya!"

Ichi Nijika felt helpless with her two very individualistic teammates, and felt herself growing older.

Sakurakoji shook his head in disbelief. The band already had a lot of problem kids, and now they had another problem cat. As the only normal person in the band, Nijika's mother's white hair was growing even faster.

"But Pochi-chan is really slow today. Even though Hideka isn't far away, is she held up by something?" Nijika couldn't help but worry as she didn't see Goto Ichiri for a long time.

Before arriving, she and Yamada Ryo strolled around Shimokitazawa, but Goto Ichiri couldn't possibly find anyone to go shopping and chat with to pass the time while she was at school.

"I hope nothing bad happens."

Just as she had this thought, the studio doors opened again, and a pink figure carrying a guitar cautiously stepped in.

The sharp-eyed Ijichi Nijika immediately spotted her and exclaimed happily, "Poch-chan! You're here..."

"This is the Livehouse? This is my first time here!"

The sight of Ichiro Kuro's red-haired figure entering immediately silenced her. Ichiro Nijika's eyes narrowed in confusion. Who was this?!

That Pochi-chan actually came with someone else!!

"The world may be about to end." Yamada Ryoya noticed this and gave a sharp comment, but Ijichi Nijika, unusually, did not refute it.

When the two approached, Ijichi Nijika, as the team leader, hesitated before speaking: "Um, Pochi-chan, who is this...?"

"Ah, hi! This is..." Goto Ichiri's expression was dark and gloomy as he forced himself not to faint and began to introduce her.

As usual, she carried her guitar to school today, following the instructions of Sakurakoji Sai.

She thought today would be no different from the past few days, but while she was eating in a corner of the stairwell piled with desks during her break, she suddenly heard someone passing by say that someone sang karaoke very well.

Thinking about the task assigned to her and the missing lead singer of the band, she mustered up her courage and secretly observed the other person.

Although Sakurakoji's talent only told her to wait quietly for others to speak to her, the thought that this was a rare opportunity for her, who was even less capable than a water flea, to finally make a difference made her unusually brave.

But the other person's sunny, imposing smile, even brighter and more radiant than Ichiji Nijika's, when she was talking to her classmates, instantly purified the dark aura all over her body as she hid in the corner, almost sending this immortal creature to heaven!

Volume 1: The Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 208 The End of the Band Reunion!

Considering the content of their conversation, she is not only cute, but also good at sports, popular, and sings well... She is the natural enemy that this kind of dark creature fears the most - the top-tier Yangjiao!

This made her doubt whether she could win her over. Moreover, the contrast between the two made her feel that her sense of self-identity and meaning of existence were about to be shattered!

Nevertheless, she managed to track down to her classroom—where she was spotted and struck up a conversation, only to flee incoherently.

Just as she was hiding miserably in a corner, playing the guitar with tears in her eyes, Yangjiao, who had followed her, stepped forward and praised her, explaining his desire to learn the guitar and join a band.

This broke Goto Ichiri's heart, as she hadn't expected that the other person already had a band they wanted to join.

Sure enough, she was so damp and non-combustible that she couldn't do anything right—just thinking about it made her eyes well up with tears, and she wanted to play a piece she had composed herself.

Although she wanted to refuse by citing the need to work at a livehouse, she quickly agreed under the barrage of compliments and became quite carried away.

After I finish my work, I'll go to a nearby recording studio to teach her the basics from scratch, because this girl knows absolutely nothing about guitar.

When Goto Ichiri was about to introduce her identity, Kita Ikuyo also saw Iji Chikatsu and Yamada Ryo, her eyes flashed with divine light, and her whole demeanor was like that of a magical girl transformation!

"You, you, you're Ryo-senpai?!" She stared at Yamada Ryo in shock and delight, exclaiming in a booming voice.

"Huh? You know me?" Yamada Ryo looked confused, wondering where this child came from.

"Hi! I've seen your street performance before!" Kita Ikuyo nodded vigorously, her right hand covering her mouth and nose, swaying shyly and nervously: "Th-that! It was really cool!"

"Whew, I didn't expect my reputation to have spread so far, even Boqi's friends have heard of it." Yamada Ryo crossed his arms, leaned against the bar, and was enveloped in an aura of a transcendent master.

Niji Natsumi retorted, "I've only seen your performance, what are you so smug about?"

Then she looked at Kita Ikuyo: "Um, who are you?"

"Hi! Just call me Kita!" She raised her hand quickly and imposingly, deliberately omitting her name, and then suddenly looked at Goto Ichiri.

"Hey! Goto-kun! The band you're talking about... it's not...!"

"Yes, yes, Liang Sang is our band's bassist..."

Boom!

Kita Ikuyo knelt down, made a dogeza (a traditional Chinese way of bowing to someone in a traditional Chinese way of worship), and shouted with all her might, "Oni-gai! Please let me join your band! I'll do anything!"

"Eh?"

"Why?!" Ijichi Nijika raised her arms, took a step back in disgust and astonishment, and looked at Goto Ichiri. "Poch-chan, what's wrong with this child?"

“Ah, she’s the lead singer I wanted to recruit for the band, but it seems she had a band she wanted to join before, so…” Goto Ichiri explained.

"No! Absolutely not! I don't have any bands I want to join right now!" Kita Ikuyo suddenly stood up, then stepped forward and grabbed Ichiji Nijika's hands: "Um! May I ask if I can join your band?!"

“Eh, eh…”

Ichi Nijika looked at her with a puzzled expression, wondering what kind of scene this was.

Normally, she would probably accept it happily, but the current situation is too strange, making her somewhat unsure of what to do.

So she looked to Yamada Ryo and Kaname Rakuna for help: "What do you think, Ryo and Rakuna?"

"Isn't it fine?"

Yamada Ryo had just recovered from his pretentious aura when he glanced at Kita Ikuyo, whose shy, unapproachable figure was reflected in his yellow eyes. "This child has quite a personality. I approve of her."

While eating her parfait, Yao Le Nai kept an eye on them, taking in their expressions and actions as she knelt down and begged for shelter. Her cat-like eyes closed slightly, and she let out a pleasant hum.

"Hmph, an interesting woman!"

As the team leader (nanny), Ichiji Nijika instantly understood what the two women meant, and her already weak resistance gave in.

"I understand, so I'll approve Kita-chan's application to join the team!"

"Really?! Thank you!"

Kita Ikuyo happily put her hands together at her sides, spun around twice, and the bright sunlight on her face almost purified this demon world house!

"Great! I'm in the same band as Ryo-senpai!"

"I'm one step closer to becoming my senior's daughter!"

"Huh?" Ijichi Nijika looked bewildered, her eyes turning into deadpan cat-like pupils again. "Should we just refuse?"

What do you take a band for?!

Sakurakoji, who was watching the scene from the sidelines, observed it with great interest, nodding with satisfaction. Finally, a team had been formed again; what a great deed!

Then he glanced at Ijichi Hoshika, who was silently observing beside him, and said to her, "The manager must be very happy too, right? Nijika and the others have finally gathered all the team members, and they are one step closer to realizing their dream."

"It's nothing, just the first step. There's still a long way to go." Ichiji Hoshika shifted her gaze away from them, her voice slow and unmoved.

"Really?" He casually rested his chin on his hand, then handed over two tissues. "If you could stop sniffling like that, maybe I'd believe you."

"Stop nagging! Say another word and I'll fire you!"

"Hi hi~"

……

ten minutes later,

After Le Nai finished her matcha parfait and the group had finished their playful antics, the five of them, who were meeting for the first time, gathered around a round table.

"Then! I declare!"

"The first members' meeting of the fully-fledged band has officially begun!"

"Clap! Clap clap clap clap clap...!"

As always, Ichika took the lead in creating a lively atmosphere, clapping enthusiastically with both hands raised. Although the original three remained aloof and self-centered, the addition of Yangjiao made the atmosphere quite different from before.

"Wow! This is a band meeting? This is my first time attending! My heart is pounding with excitement!" Kita Ikuyo clapped her hands vigorously, her face constantly adorned with a sunflower effect.

Nijika Ichi cast a touching glance at her, wondering if there was finally a second normal person in the band.

No, thinking about her motives, they don't seem normal either.

"Alright! Let's all introduce ourselves first, I'll go first!" Ijichi Nijika stood up, put her hands on her hips and pointed to herself, "My name is Ijichi Nijika, I'm currently a second-year student at Shimokitazawa High School, and I'm in the same class as Ryo!"

"I'm the drummer in the band, and currently also the band leader, yo-lo-shikuna!"

"That one?" Kita Ikuyo raised her hand.

"Hi! Kita-chan has a question!"

"Okay, what I wanted to ask is, what's the name of our band?" Kita Ikuyo tilted her head and asked.

“What are you yelling about…” Ichiji Nijika looked to the side, her body covered in cold sweat.

“Call it the End (Band, Unity) Band,” Yamada Ryo answered for her.

"The Ribbon Band? The End?"

"Puff~"

"Cool!" Ichiji Nijika leaned forward, bracing her forearms on the table, then frantically rubbed her golden hair, screaming, "I absolutely have to change this lame-sounding name! Absolutely!"

"Huh? Why? Isn't it good?" Kita Ikuyo tilted her head, puzzled. "I think it has a lot of meaning."

"Kita-chan~" Her eyes were as red as fried eggs as she held her hand tenderly.

Kita-chan, she turns out to be a good girl!

Poised, she dusted herself off and looked at the next person: "Next..."

"You seem to know Ryo and Pochi-chan already. Ah, but Ryo doesn't seem to have met Pochi before. Let Pochi-chan introduce them first!"

"Ah, hi, hi!" Goto Ichiri kicked the chair away and stood up stiffly. Looking at Kaname Rakuna's emotionless face and eyes, his expression began to crumble and melt into a mess.

This child is so cute! And has such a powerful presence!

She's only in her final year of junior high, yet she exudes a mature and composed aura (lol), completely different from me!

Having sat in my seat for so long without saying a word, is it because I'm carefully observing them?

That's right, this kid is definitely a very serious and experienced person!
