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

Based on these two points, plus the confirmed train time and route, he should be able to see his target in about ten minutes.

Volume 1: A Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Author's Note (Please read to the end if you can; the author will do anything!!)

The time has finally come.

First of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has read this far. Thank you for liking this work and for watching until now.

As my first work, I must say that there were many little episodes along the way, which taught me a lot and allowed me to accumulate some experience that I had never had before.

As the deleted letter stated, due to various reasons, the book's traffic is not very good, and it is foreseeable that its future revenue will not be very good either.

Whether you call it fueled by love or stubborn self-satisfaction, it doesn't matter.

In any case, I can assure you that even if I have to be a complete thief, I will definitely finish this book and will not abandon it halfway through—unless an unavoidable accident occurs in reality, in which case there is nothing I can do, but the probability should be... well, I won't make any promises, survival is the priority.

After the book is published, the author will try to increase the number of words updated daily while ensuring that the quality is not affected.

In terms of content and timeline, as you can see, there are still some important characters and storylines that haven't been covered yet. Because I've allocated the plot according to time, some popular characters who were originally scheduled to appear after the start of the school year haven't appeared yet.

Although I wanted to write the storyline about the start of school in April before it was published, the author was slow in managing the timeline, which was really frustrating!

Based on the appearance times of some characters in the original work, you can probably guess some of the characters that will appear later in this work, such as the music girl, or a certain popular school character.

Speaking of music, although some readers have labeled the book as a story about band girls, those who have read this far should be able to tell that what I actually wanted to write was just a simple urban fantasy story about various anime and manga, not limited to bands. It's just that there are quite a few band girl characters that have already appeared or will appear soon...

As stated in the synopsis and tags, this book is a pure harem work. I despise those pseudo-harem works that rely on factional infighting and deception, and I believe many readers share this sentiment. Therefore, I won't deliberately include a cross-dressing scene or a major plot twist at the end to annoy readers. As for the in-depth interaction that some readers are hoping for, that will naturally happen as the relationship deepens later on…

In addition, some readers may worry that having too many characters will make them mere background figures, appear too infrequently, lack plot development, or make the main character too promiscuous.

I've considered these issues, so I'll try my best to add more plot later on, and like before, cram more fragmented storylines of different characters into a shorter timeline to increase their presence. After all, multi-threaded operation is one of the highlights of this book.

In short, as you can see, I have tried my best to make the personality of each character as close to the original work as possible in terms of plot arrangement and daily behavior and dialogue. Even the time and place of their appearance were determined after careful interpretation of the original plot, in order to avoid being out of character as much as possible and to avoid unnecessary conflicts between the original plot and the plot of this work.

If you don't think so—that's purely due to the author's lack of skill and the need for improvement. I apologize to you for this and will reflect on it and make improvements.

So, as I mentioned at the end of the chapter, if you have any favorite characters, feel free to post them in the comments or private messages anytime, don't worry about the timing. I'll add characters with lots of likes, but I might add those with fewer likes anyway, because maybe I already planned to write about them...

Even if I haven't seen the series myself, I'm willing to watch it for you if enough people want to see it, so please don't be shy about commenting. Of course, let me preface this by saying that if everyone's requests for characters are too diverse, I can't possibly write about them all, but even if my opinion isn't ultimately adopted... there's no harm in speaking out, right?

If you have any opinions or suggestions about this book, please feel free to leave them in the comments. If everyone agrees, I will make changes accordingly. As long as it doesn't involve excessively aggressive or abusive language or mere emotional venting, everyone is welcome to express their opinions at any time.

The best place to post opinions and comments is at the end of each daily chapter update, as this will allow more readers to see them and engage in interactive discussions such as liking and commenting, making it easier to arrive at the best viewpoint.

As you can see, the main storyline revolves around the male protagonist being "forced" to follow in the footsteps of many female protagonists in order to solve his physical problems, and then a series of events that occur. Therefore, it may be a little different from other normal youth urban stories. Inevitably, there are a few more characters in the early stages - because the story does not take place in a fixed setting, it is somewhat unavoidable.

Of course, some readers might hope that the number of female characters can be kept to a certain level, as writing too many could indeed be difficult to manage and lead to the problems mentioned above. However, judging from the outline, some new characters will inevitably appear later. If the goal is to reduce the number of female characters to a very small scale, reaching the level of a fixed-location campus romance—that's unrealistic; at most, there will be more emphasis on them later. Regarding the casting, most of the characters are currently well-known, so they shouldn't be too difficult to remember…

However, I'm not sure how many readers actually think this way. I hope everyone can actively express their opinions in the subsequent chapters. If not, you can also give a like to show your agreement with someone else's point of view.

For example, which female lead's storyline you want to see more of, which storylines you prefer, whether you want to focus more on daily romance or advancing the plot... and so on (I can almost imagine the later scenes where writing slow-paced daily romance gets me criticized for being padded, and writing plot advancement gets me criticized for not having enough character depth, so please be kind with your words, I'm trembling with fear).

Regardless of which side's perspective prevails, I will do my best to avoid potential problems, and the solutions are as mentioned earlier. I will also try my best to preserve the highlights that everyone wants to see, striving for a win-win situation—although some readers may find this difficult and think I'm being too greedy, I still want to give it my best shot.

The sole purpose of this book is to provide readers who wish to continue reading with a satisfying experience, telling a story that will generally satisfy and resonate with them.

Regarding the writing style and pacing, the author also discovered some shortcomings during the writing process. For example, some plot points should have been more interesting, more scene details should have been added to the descriptions, more space should have been devoted to emotional descriptions, the title and synopsis should have been clearer, and the pacing of the early chapters should have been faster...

In short, it seems we encountered many pitfalls and made many mistakes in the details.

This is partly due to the author's lack of experience and limited writing experience, and partly due to having too many ideas and wanting to cover everything, resulting in a somewhat disorganized writing style.

So if the beginning wasn't very enjoyable for you, I apologize. The author will continue to learn and improve through criticism and self-criticism.

Another point is about the illustrations. I think I have quite a lot of nice pictures in my collection. Some of the ones I posted before were okay, but some were a bit lacking. I will try to select some nice ones for future illustrations.

Finally, regardless of whether you wish to continue reading this book in the future, thank you for reading this far.

I especially want to thank the fans who voted, commented, tipped, and even sent me messages urging me to update the book. Your feedback made me feel less lonely these past few days and gave me the motivation to keep writing.

To those book lovers who wish to continue this journey, I will do my best to bring you even more exciting stories.

This marks the completion of one milestone, but it is not the end of the entire journey.

If possible, I hope we can meet again later—even just contributing a first subscription to encourage the author would be great (shy, hopeful eyes).

The officially released chapter should be the latest chapter updated tonight, Friday evening—if there are no mistakes, since it's my first time releasing a chapter and I don't have much experience.

I realized I'd gotten a bit carried away and written too much; this is practically a normal chapter already. Sorry for taking up so much of your time, so I'll stop here.

—Love, author (flying kiss)

Volume 1: A Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 60 Arriving in Kawasaki with the Kid Girl

At exactly 18:00 PM, looking at the time popping up on her phone, Sakurakoji became slightly impatient.

No way, isn't it supposed to be today? Or did I miss it?

He didn't miss it; the timing shouldn't be a problem. He remembered clearly that the train's return departure time was 17:54. If he got off two minutes earlier, plus the time spent walking at the station, it would be around that time.

But if he doesn't meet the person due to some unexpected event, then his leave request today will have been wasted.

However, considering that the other party was unfamiliar with the area and it might take longer, he decided to wait a little longer.

Another ten minutes passed.

Just as he was hesitating about whether to look elsewhere, the figure of a girl with purple-brown hair, wearing a red hoodie, carrying a red suitcase, and looking at her phone as she walked, came into view.

That silly yet inexplicably earnest and stubborn expression, that rustic attire, that made it clear to everyone that I was from the countryside, and the way I kept muttering to myself—it was all so distinctive. Even in the bustling train station, I stood out as a rather unique and eye-catching figure.

Sakurakoji's eyes lit up immediately. Finally, he appeared!

The person, carrying a suitcase, walked to the automatic gate, mistakenly believing that their card had been successfully swiped, and then bumped into the gate. They had to swipe their card several more times before finally passing through and entering the golden hall.

Looking up at the magnificent building before her, Izanagi was stunned and exclaimed "Wow!"

After a brief moment of surprise, she looked around, found the sign for Yokohama, and continued her hurried journey with small, quick steps.

Sakurakoji quickly followed, loosening the scarf around his neck to reveal part of his face, making him appear less suspicious.

He didn't approach them directly to talk, because that might make the wary person think he was a suspicious person. Instead, he silently followed them from a short distance away.

The two quickly boarded a new train. The carriage was crowded, with few empty seats and people practically sitting next to each other.

In the crowded environment, the girl in red was also knocked off balance.

While keeping an eye on potential pickpockets and thugs, Sakurakoji waited patiently, keeping a close eye on the girl's movements two meters away.

There are many opportunities, and they should appear soon.

The train slowly started moving, gradually pulling out of the station and running under the vast sky. The little sprites scattered outside quickly attracted the attention of everyone in the carriage, especially someone who kept staring out the window with a pained expression, as if deep in thought.

"Snowing!"

At one point, she noticed the beautiful scenery outside, and excitedly took out her phone to capture this precious and beautiful moment. Then—

"Eh? Eh!!!"

A mournful cry echoed through the carriage, drawing the annoyed gazes of a small group of people nearby—those standing further away couldn't see through the dense wall of people.

The chance has arrived!

"Excuse me, could you please let me pass?"

Seizing the opportunity, a few seconds later, Sakurakoji pushed his way through the crowd to her side.

"What happened, miss?"

"Huh?" Jingqin Rencai, who had just experienced the tragic situation of her phone running out of battery and being forced to shut down, was still in a daze when she heard the voice from the side. She looked over in confusion and saw a head of snow-white long hair first, followed by the impression of a fashionable urban woman wearing large sunglasses.

How should I put it? It's so beautiful, completely different from my own. Is this what a big city is like? Jing Qinrencai thought to herself.

"Um, my phone died and shut down." After hesitating for three seconds, Jing Qinren replied hesitantly, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

"I see. Sometimes this does happen. It's very inconvenient not having your phone when you're out and about. Remember to be careful next time."

"That's right, I learned my lesson today." She looked bitter, as if she had a clearer premonition of the many hardships to come.

"That's good, here you go." Sakurakoji handed her something he had prepared in advance.

"Oh, what's this?" Jingqin Rencai subconsciously took it and then asked.

"A power bank, an essential item for long trips." Sakura Koji smiled and gave her a thumbs up.

"Ah!" Jing Qinrencai exclaimed in realization, "Thank you so much!"

Because it was too crowded around her, she couldn't bow, so she could only express herself verbally, and then quickly connected her phone to the line.

What a kind person! I didn't expect to meet such a kind person so soon. My previously anxious heart found some comfort. Who said people in big cities are cold and heartless? That's all a rumor!

"By the way, are you alone? Is this your first time in Tokyo?"

"Ah! Yes, I was supposed to get off at Shinagawa Station, but I fell asleep and missed my stop." After plugging her phone back in, Nina Izare breathed a sigh of relief, and her sense of security returned instantly.

“Haha, that does happen occasionally.” Sakurakoji Saitaka agreed, a smile playing on his lips behind his sunglasses.

"Where are you from, miss?"

"Kumamoto City, Kumamoto Prefecture..."

"I know this one, it's the hometown of Kumamon, right?" Sakurakoji's voice rose, seemingly very interested, and his expression became enthusiastic.

“Yes, that’s right…” Jingqin Rencai glanced at him carefully a few times, then breathed a sigh of relief.

That's great! It's so good that Master Jing didn't mistake me for a country bumpkin from the remote countryside!

Speaking of Kumamoto, it's one of those two rural prefectures that are frequently subjected to online abuse, along with Hokkaido, despite being located in the south and the north respectively. Although Kumamoto isn't the southernmost prefecture in Japan, it's inexplicably often targeted for criticism.

Before coming to Tokyo, she was worried that she might be discriminated against because of her region, but fortunately, the person in front of her seemed to be a good person.

But the others around her might not feel the same way. Izayoi grimaced and glared fiercely at the group of people who had been chuckling and making silent mocking faces.

"I'm going to Kawasaki next, what about you, miss?"

"Ah! I'm going to Kawasaki too!" Izare Jinna's brows relaxed, her hands gripping her phone and power bank tightly, and she pointed at him with some surprise. "Uncle said I should go to Kawasaki in Tokyo. He's found me a place there."

"Oh, what a coincidence... But Kawasaki isn't Tokyo, you know." Sakurakoji felt a slight pang of conscience and quickly shattered her illusion.

"Huh?" Jing Qinren's expression froze. "What does this mean?"

"Literally, although we are indeed in Tokyo now, Kawasaki belongs to Kanagawa Prefecture, which is next to Tokyo. It's just that it's close to Tokyo."

"Huh? Could it be... I've been tricked?" Izare Nina looked a little dazed, staring blankly at Sakurakoji Saiki.

"Uh, I guess, maybe, probably, that's how it is?" Seeing her hopeful gaze, Sakurakoji swallowed hard. "Maybe it's because they want to rent you their spare room. How much is it per month?"

"Fifty thousand...no wonder it's so cheap."

"I see, then that's certainly possible." Seeing her expression become even more downcast, Sakurakoji quickly comforted her, "But don't worry too much, after all, the two places are very close, only about ten or twenty kilometers as the crow flies, and you can get there quickly by train!"

"That's true. There's nothing we can do now. After all, it was my own willfulness that led me to come here." After a brief moment of disappointment, Izayoi's tone became firm.

"Hmm—it might be nosy of me to ask, but I still want to ask, why did you come to Tokyo alone, miss? You look like you're still a high school student, right?"

“…Because I have nowhere to go, because I don’t want to admit defeat, I don’t want to admit that I was wrong.” Izanagi’s face was solemn, and she spoke in a low voice, as if a layer of atmosphere was gradually being enveloped around her.

In Sakurakoji's eyes, it seemed as if he saw a hedgehog armor made of countless red needles. An invisible force field pressed down on his heart, making him breathe more heavily.

Oh no, it's gravity unfolding!

He quickly interrupted the other party's spellcasting, saying, "It seems there are some unspeakable details, so I won't inquire any further."

“However, living alone in a foreign country must be very difficult. Hmm… Here, this is my business card.” He handed her a smooth, dark-colored piece of paper.

"If you encounter any difficulties, contact me through this link, and I will help you to the best of my ability."

"How can this be! This is too much trouble for you!" Jingqin Rencai said urgently, trying to refuse.

"Let's just say it's fate, and it's just a precaution, because I like to help kids who are working hard and pursuing their dreams. I don't have my own dreams, but I can protect them!"

Upon hearing this, Izayoi Rina didn't react much, perhaps because she hadn't seen that famous scene before. However, the way some people in the carriage looked at him changed, gradually shifting towards disdain and embarrassment.

These days, you can encounter people with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) anywhere.

"Thank you again!" Izare Nina said sincerely. If this were outside, she might have bowed deeply to Sakurakoji Saito. "Um, my name is Izare Nina. You can just call me Nina. Nice to meet you!"
