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

Kasumigaoka Utaha wore a burgundy dress, star-shaped earrings, and two small pearl necklaces. Her beautiful black hair was casually tied back with a white headband, and her plump and sexy legs were adorned with her signature black pantyhose that made people want to lick them.

She took small, quick steps into the family-run restaurant that Sakurakoji Saiki had mentioned.

After looking around for a bit, she spotted Sakura Koji Saiki sitting by the glass window and walked straight over to him.

"Sorry, Mr. Caihua, I'm late."

She walked to the table and said this, then sat down smoothly opposite Sakurakoji Takashi.

"No, you're very punctual, Shiyu-senpai. Looks like you didn't stay up all night last night." Sakurakoji Saiki rested his chin on his hands on the table and teased her.

"Oh, by the way, you look really beautiful today too, you're so pretty you don't look like a high school student at all."

"Does that mean I'm old? Talent, you've got guts, haven't you?" Kasumigaoka Utaha twitched her eyebrows, feigning displeasure.

"No, it's just a compliment on your natural beauty and fashion sense. Here, let's order." He placed the menu in front of her.

Kasumigaoka Utaha picked up the menu, and while looking at it, asked, "Speaking of which, I have a question. How did Caihua-kun know I lived next door? It couldn't have been a coincidence, could it?"

The family restaurant that Sakurakoji chose was located in Toshima Ward, just like the place for their last gathering.

If that were all, she wouldn't have said anything more. But this place was right next to the private Toyonosaki Academy she attended, less than a five-minute walk from the school, and not far from her home either.

Unless Sakurakoji Takayuki also happened to live nearby, she really didn't think it was a coincidence, and she couldn't help but glance at him with a somewhat cold look.

“I asked Machida, the editor. Although she didn’t tell me your home address, she did tell me that your school is Toyonosaki. Since I invited you, I thought it would be best to prioritize your convenience when choosing a location.”

“That old woman…you’re so kind.” Kasumigaoka Utaha tightened her grip on the menu slightly, then sighed.

They called over a waiter who seemed a little confused, and the two of them placed their orders separately.

"So, Caihua, what is it that you want to discuss with me?" She placed her hands on the table and looked directly at him as she asked.

However, if her gaze lingered on his face for even a little longer, her heart would involuntarily race, and she could only reluctantly bite her lip and look away.

"Actually, it's like this. I have a project I want to do recently, but I lack suitable talent. Because I'm new to the industry, I can't even form a simple club."

"Among the people I know, only Shiwa-senpai can be relied upon, so if Shiwa-senpai has the time and interest, I hope you can complete it with me."

Sakurakoji took out the project document he had worked on all night from the file folder beside him, handed it to her, and then yawned with tears in his eyes.

Although he told Kasumigaoka Utaha that he hoped she wouldn't stay up all night, and she did seem to stay up a little later, he himself didn't sleep at all until dawn after printing out the documents.

To cover his dark circles and somewhat dull and rough skin, he even used some concealer before going out, which was unusual for him.

He sent a message to Aoyama Nanami in advance at noon to wake him up, otherwise he was worried that he might smash the alarm clock against the wall and end his life prematurely.

"A project plan?" Kasumigaoka Utaha asked in confusion as she took the thick stack of bound documents he handed her and opened to the first page.

Putting everything else aside, it does look quite convincing. The general plot, timeline, funding, and schedule are all shown in the catalog, but it lacks a specific list of personnel responsible for implementation.

"The company name isn't written down, could this project be...?" Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at the fans in front of her, a guess forming in her mind, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Yes, I decided it myself." Sakurakoji Saiki chuckled, confirming her idea.

“I’ve wanted to create a piece like this for a long time, but I didn’t know what form of expression to use to create it until recently when I finally made a decision.”

"That format is Galgame?"

“That’s right.” Sakurakoji Sai nodded seriously. “Only the form of a visual novel can perfectly present the story I want to express. Novel, animation, and manga are no match.”

Putting the proposal aside for the moment, Kasumigaoka Utaha rubbed the corner of her eye and said with a headache, "Talent-kun, although it's not nice to say it like this, making a game is a very time-consuming and energy-intensive thing, and it requires a lot of professional talents. Even a regular company needs to prepare and produce it in the form of years."

“Even for Galgames, it takes at least six months and requires a lot of financial preparation. It’s not something that can be decided casually.”

"Although your proposal seems well-prepared, I hope you understand the difficulties involved."

"The more words there are, the more funds are needed. Although I only glanced at it, it seems like you've written several million words... Am I seeing things?"

Volume 1: Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 77 Feeding You Cream Puffs

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't have time to complain. She widened her eyes, bent over, and magnified the standard handwriting in her eyes to its maximum. Then, she looked up at Sakurakoji Takayuki in disbelief, her voice trembling with questioning:

"Millions of words?! Do you know how much money and time that would take?"

"Even though I know that your first volume of 'DanMachi' is selling very well recently, after deducting taxes, the income is just a drop in the bucket. Do you really understand?!"

Faced with her doubts and shock, Sakurakoji Sai waved her hand to calm her down: "Well, Utaha-senpai, don't get so excited, calm down."

"How can I stay calm like this, Caihua? It seems I need to give you a good talking-to. You really underestimate this industry!"

"This industry is very cruel. If you don't achieve results, you will be abandoned directly. If you don't get a definite reward, they won't even look at you. Unknown creators will always be treated coldly by others."

"Even if this work becomes a hit, there's no guarantee what the next one will be like, sob sob sob..."

"STOP." Sakurakoji placed one index finger in front of her lips and covered her cherry-like mouth with the other, which she wanted to continue talking.

The soft, bouncy texture traveled through his palm to his brain, so comfortable that he couldn't help but squeeze it. The distorted texture, even more comfortable and adorable than jelly, kept coming, and then... he met Kasumigaoka Utaha's incredulous gaze.

"Ahem, I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself." He quickly withdrew his hand and bowed his head in apology.

While she was still in a daze, he immediately continued to explain, "Thank you for your suggestion, Shiyu-senpai, but please believe me, I did not make this decision without considering anything."

"If possible, please read the proposal in front of you first before we talk."

Seeing his confident demeanor, Kasumigaoka Utaha, her delicate eyebrows arching, remained unconvinced but said nothing, simply continuing her reading, which she had interrupted earlier. Even the food she had ordered, which had already arrived, did not disrupt her train of thought.

Sakurakoji chuckled lightly, picked up the coffee that was served, and took a sip to refresh himself.

The rather cute waitress, after serving them their food, kept glancing at the two of them with reluctance as she walked away, until she bumped into a customer who was about to leave, at which point she snapped out of her daze and apologized profusely.

After finishing his pasta and waffles, Sakurakoji noticed that Kasumigaoka Utaha still hadn't touched her food, her eyes glued to the detailed, illustrated project proposal in front of her. Her expression was completely different from her earlier surprise; she was incredibly serious, clearly showing some genuine interest.

Not wanting to disturb her directly, he moved over and sat next to her, but she still didn't notice.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to cut the cream cheese cake she had ordered into small pieces with a knife, then use a fork to hold it, and unconsciously bring it to her lips, gently touching her slightly glossy, moist lips.

"?" She finally realized what was happening and suddenly looked to the side, where she came face to face with Sakurakoji Takashi's face, which was almost touching.

"!" Kasumigaoka Utaha felt her heart and lungs stop suddenly, and her cheeks flushed red. The feeling of having her vision filled with the image of a beautiful woman all at once was really not good for her heart.

This face is undeniably attractive to both men and women.

"Don't worry about me, Shiyu-senpai, you keep watching." Sakurakoji carefully held the food on his fork and gestured to her with his mouth: "Ah~"

"Ah~" Kasumigaoka Utaha subconsciously opened her small mouth, which was then immediately filled with a sweet and thick delicacy. "Mmm!"

Her face flushed, and she gently puffed out her cheeks. Her mind was a jumble of emotions, filled with sweetness, a multitude of feelings, and doubts. She didn't know which thing to consider first.

There's even a strange sense of immorality about it.

"I can do it myself, Caihua-jun." After swallowing the piece, she looked at him shyly and suggested in a low voice.

“No way, it was me who troubled you to come here, and since you’re so serious about my project, I’ll do this little thing for you!” Sakura Koji shook his head firmly. “Come on, Shiha-senpai, just continue reading. Leave the food to me.”

"Come on, again~"

After saying that, before she could object, he forked a small piece of cake that was just the right size and put it to her lips.

Facing the food that was almost touching her red lips, Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes were watery. This feeding play in public made her extremely shy, especially since she also caught a glimpse of the waitress who was watching them and covering her face in envy.

Unable to bear such stares, she was about to refuse when her mouth was blocked by food, preventing her from speaking.

"Hmm~"

She wanted to suspect whether Sakurakoji's talent was intentional, but seeing his serious expression and innocent, foolish eyes, she could only swallow her doubts along with her food.

"Here, have another cream puff." Sakurakoji picked up a pale yellow oval and placed it in front of her again.

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't speak this time. Knowing she couldn't resist, she simply opened her mouth obediently, letting him fill her mouth with cream, blushing as she accepted this sweet yet shy baptism.

She couldn't read a single word from the book, and even if she did, it wouldn't register in her mind. All she could do was speed up her chewing, hoping to end this act that brought her both pleasure and pain as soon as possible.

After feeding her a few cream puffs and small pieces of cake, Sakura Koji picked up a cup of black tea and gently brought it to her lips. "Senpai Shiyu, come on, have some black tea to cleanse your palate."

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't move, but glared at him with annoyance before obediently taking a sip of tea, rinsing her mouth, and swallowing it.

Seeing her tsundere attitude, Sakurakoji Sai found it amusing and continued to feed her the rest of the food, finally rinsing her mouth with the almost cooled black tea.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw him put down the teacup and finish feeding her. Although her stomach was already full, Kasumigaoka Utaha still felt a strange sense of regret and emptiness.

Just then, Sakura Koji suddenly touched her delicate cheek with his fingers, startling her so much that she tried to pull away.

"do not move."

Sakurakoji's gentle rebuke made her stop what she was doing. She stared intently as he touched the corner of his mouth with his finger and then withdrew it.

"You've got cream on your fingers, let me wipe it off for you." Sakurakoji Caisei showed her the spotless white cream on his fingers.

"Oh, I see," Kasumigaoka Utaha thought with a sigh of relief. "I knew it!"

But the next second, her fragile and troubled heart was instantly pounded in her throat.

After showcasing his talent, Sakurakoji casually put his cream-covered finger into his mouth, licked it briefly, and then wiped away the trace of saliva with a wet wipe. His expression remained completely calm, as if he had simply done something perfectly normal.

"Yeah~!!"

A joyful scream rang out in the store—but it wasn't from Kasumigaoka Utaha, but from the cute shop assistant who had been watching the commotion.

As for Kasumigaoka Utaha, a thunderclap exploded in her mind. Her face was flushed as she breathed heavily, her whole body went limp, and she weakly kissed the table with her forehead.

"Waaaaah!" Kasumigaoka Utaha screamed inwardly.

How could he do this! How could he do this!

Doesn't he know there are differences between men and women? Or does he simply not see himself as a member of the opposite sex?

He didn't seem interested in me in that way, and his expression didn't change. Did he really think this was just a normal thing? His awareness of self-protection was too weak!

"bump!"

"Good job," Sakurakoji thought to himself upon hearing the crisp sound, but still feigned concern and asked, "Hiss~ Are you alright, Utaha-senpai!"

"...It's nothing." Kasumigaoka Utaha sat up listlessly, her eyes vacant and her expression numb.

"That's good." Sakurakoji Sai stood up and sat back down opposite her, giving her a kind smile. "Alright, let's continue discussing the project. You should have read the proposal by now, right, Shiyu-senpai?"

“…It’s almost done.” Hearing him say this, Kasumigaoka Utaha’s chaotic thoughts were suddenly jolted, instantly becoming clear-headed. She looked to the side and then mumbled something.

She couldn't very well say that she was so focused on this first feeding experience that she didn't pay any attention to what was being said, could she?

She's a senior! A reliable adult! How could she embarrass herself in front of her juniors over something like this!

Although she had forgotten the rest of the content, she could only grit her teeth and give an affirmative answer despite her numb scalp.

"So what do you think? Is it feasible?"

Meeting his expectant gaze, Kasumigaoka Utaha hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip and said, "Of course, the information is very detailed. It's clear that you put a lot of effort into preparing this, and it's not just something you wanted to play around with."

“Of course,” Sakurakoji Sai nodded in satisfaction. “Then, Utaha-senpai, would you like to join my team?”

"Well..." Kasumigaoka Utaha blinked rapidly, her eyes darting around, trying to stall for time with an excuse, "You see, I'm about to start preparing for my new book. If I join this project, it might be too late for the other one, so..."

"It's ok!"

"Eh?"

"I already have most of the plot in mind. My request to you is that you further refine the writing style of what I've written." Sakurakoji stood up abruptly, slamming his hand on the table, staring directly into her ruby-red eyes, his voice almost echoing throughout the shop:

"Because I love your writing style the most!!!"

"Eh? Eh, eh?!?!?!?!" After realizing what he had said, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but let out a sound, her thoughts once again falling into chaos.

Could this be...?

Confession? ! ? !

But something seems different. He only said he liked my writing style, not that he liked me as a person. I shouldn't be presumptuous, but—this looks more like a confession!

Kasumigaoka Utaha covered her mouth and nose with both hands, her heart pounding at almost 200 beats per minute. Amidst the cheers of the crowd around her, "Say yes!" "Say yes!", her girlish heart, which had always been prone to having erotic dreams, could no longer be contained and overflowed.
