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

Once you tell a lie, it's hard to cover it up, especially when the other person is an expert with an IQ of 160 and an incredibly keen sense of smell in this area. Unless absolutely necessary, it's better to be honest.

[At work, I'm being exploited and bullied by that wicked capitalist boss every day, sob sob]

[Working hard to earn money.jpg]

Less than ten seconds later, the phone started vibrating.

【Eh? Did I bother you? I'm so sorry!】

This kid is staring at his phone the whole time. Does he have so much free time?

Sakura: [Just kidding, my work was mainly concentrated in the first part of the period, and I was basically free after that.]

Ogiso: [Oh, that's good.]

Ogiso: [But I never expected Sakurakoji-kun to have a part-time job. How should I put it? It's a bit hard to imagine.]

Sakura: [? 】

Sakura: [Is it really that strange that I'm working a part-time job?]

Ogiso: [To be honest, it's not particularly strange...]

Ogiso: [But since Sakurakoji-kun's appearance is so striking, it makes one a little curious about what you do for a living.]

Sakura: [It's just a regular service industry job. My job is to provide food and drinks.]

Ogiso: [Huh? Is that all?]

Sakura: [I'm sorry to disappoint you, but that's all.]

In the detached house of the Kogiso family in Shinjuku Ward

In Ogiso Setsuna's room, just as Sakurakoji had imagined, she was wearing a beige casual outfit, lying on the bed kicking her little feet, smiling as she hugged a soft pillow and chatted with him.

Every now and then, it would let out some inexplicable "hehe" or "humming" sounds.

At first, she felt heavy-hearted and nervous, afraid that the other person would ignore her or be indifferent, which would dampen her hard-won courage. However, after a brief exchange, this worry disappeared without a trace.

Ogiso: [It's still hard to imagine, I never thought Sakurakoji-kun would be working during spring break or something.]

Sakura: [No, it's not.]

Ogiso: [?]

Sakura: [This is my current job. I didn't start doing it because of spring break; I've been doing it for a while now. In fact, I'm not really in school right now.]

Ogiso: [Huh?!!!!]

Ogiso: [Isn't Sakurakoji-kun going to school? Why?]

Inside the room, Ogiso Setsuna was startled and couldn't help but cry out. The sound carried out of the room and caught the attention of her family downstairs.

"Yukina, what's wrong?"

From the downstairs living room outside the door, came the mother's questioning voice.

"Nothing at all!"

She turned back to reply to the door, then looked at her phone again.

Sakura: [Even if you ask that...]

Sakura: [If I really had to say, it's because I've never had the habit of going to school.]

Ogiso: [Haha, what's that?]

Ogiso: [But could it be... that Sakurakoji-kun is actually a delinquent?]

Sakura: [If we judge based on not attending school, then I guess it counts.]

Ogiso: [...I feel like your image is about to collapse.]

Sakura: [Haha, I didn't really have much of an image to begin with, did I?]

Ogiso: [No such thing! Last time I only glanced at you, and my family... ah, nothing at all!]

Sakura: [? 】

This time, it was Sakurakoji's turn to ask a question mark. No, girl, why do you only say half of what you mean? If this happened in the next country, you'd be beaten to death for your riddle-like behavior!

Unaware of his thoughts, Ogiso Setsuna continued to tilt her head and carefully type.

Ogiso: [But, are you really sure it's okay if you don't go to school? Won't your parents worry?]

Sakura: [Don't worry, my parents are quite open-minded. As long as you produce results, they won't excessively interfere with your freedom.]

Ogiso: [Eh~ That's great. My family doesn't have many rules, but compared to the average family, it's probably still quite complicated.]

Sakura: [Well, speaking of rules, my family is even more... Although I don't really follow them, my younger sister is considered a well-behaved and polite child by most people.]

Ogiso: [Ah, speaking of which, you mentioned having a younger sister. She must be a very cute child, right?]

Sakura: [Let's just say we'll count]

This was the second time he had been asked this question, but each time he could only give this ambiguous answer.

Ogiso: [It's almost past dinner time now, when does Sakurakoji-kun get off work?]

Sakura: [Our shop operates on a night shift, so there are still some times...]

Ogiso: [It's the night shift, Sakurakoji-kun...you're not really a delinquent, are you?]

Sakura: [Please rest assured about that. Although some places may have some oddities or peculiarities, our shop is still considered a fairly reputable establishment.]

Ogiso: [Suspicion.jpg]

On the other end of the phone, Sakura Koji glanced at the time at the top of the screen and then at the relatively empty counter.

It was still early, and after Touma Kazusa left, there was practically no one around him. After thinking for a moment, he said to the person on the other end of the phone:

Sakura: [That's true]

Sakura: [If you're really curious and interested, why don't you come and see for yourself?]

Ogiso: [Is it okay? Will it bother you?]

Setsuna Ogiso excitedly brought her phone close to her eyes and typed rapidly.

Sakura: [No, no, my task is almost finished, and our workplace environment is quite relaxed and fun.]

Sakura: [That's true, it really is a blind spot... I feel like you'd really like it here.]

Considering the function of the Livehouse and the other person's interests, Sakurakoji suddenly realized that these two elements seemed to match surprisingly well, and the other person might really like the atmosphere and activities here.

Now that Touma Kazusa has left and I have nothing to do, I might as well bring her over for a visit.

Ogiso: [Really? What exactly does Sakurakoji-kun do at his workplace?]

Sakura: [Let me keep you in suspense for now. How about coming over? I can come pick you up.]

Ogiso: [Yeah! I'm going!]

Sakura: [I'll come pick you up from your house right away, see you later]

Ogiso: [Yeah, Mada~]

Once the itinerary was finalized, the communication ended, and Sakurakoji stopped sending messages.

"ah!!!"

Ogiso Setsuna rolled around happily on the bed, her soft body curled up like a shrimp, her feet in white socks creating large wrinkles in the sheets. Holding her phone to her chest, she couldn't contain her excitement, and her joy made her cheer out loud.

But after the cheers subsided, she thought of something else.

"Hey, but if I make plans to go out with a guy all by myself, doesn't that just mean I'm going on a date?!"

"And it's at night, isn't that a bit ominous?"

Suddenly thinking of this question, her beautiful face flushed, and she tightened her grip on the pillow.

"Gurgle~~~!"

"What should I do? What should I do?!"

She started pacing back and forth in the room, sometimes clutching her head in distress, sometimes struggling to choose between the mirror and the wardrobe.

"Aaaaaah~~ What am I going to do?!"

"Setsuna!! Be quiet!!" Her mother's angry voice came from downstairs, but it still couldn't easily bring her back to normal.

"Stop nagging! I'm getting annoyed with you, Mom!"

……

"So, you're upset because Sakurakoji-kun invited you to visit his workplace?"

Inside the room, Ogiso's mother, sporting a dangerous hairstyle, looked down at Ogiso Setsuna, who was kneeling upright on the floor, and asked her for confirmation.

“Mm.” Setsuna Ogiso nodded obediently in agreement.

"Isn't this just a date, sister? Are you finally going to make your move on him?" On the bed next to Ogiso Setsuna, Ogiso Takahiro lay brazenly, propping his head up with one hand and watching the show.

"Why are you here too! What's it to you?" Ogiso Setsuna puffed out her cute cheeks and looked at her younger brother who loved to gossip.

"As your adorable younger brother, isn't it perfectly normal for him to come and help his older sister with her problems?"

"What's cute about you? And you just want to see me make a fool of myself, right?"

"Putting aside Takahiro and Setsuna, is this really that hard to decide?" After understanding what had happened, Ogiso's mother felt relieved and looked at her. "It's just a trip to a friend's workplace. Is it really necessary for you to worry so much?"

“That’s true…” Ogiso Setsuna tapped her index fingers together, her expression filled with the complex emotions of a young girl.

"Well, after all, it's been a long time since my sister has made any friends she can talk to."

"Instead of that, I think you should change your clothes right away. Sakurakoji-kun said he'd be coming to pick you up soon, right?"

"Ah! That's true!" Ogiso Setsuna suddenly realized this, and judging by the time, the other party should be arriving soon.

Just then, her phone beeped.

"Oh no! He seems to have arrived!" She leaped up from the ground and hurriedly pushed the two out of the room. "I need to change my clothes! Get out, get out!"

"Ah, slow down!"

"Mo, this child."

Outside the closed door, the two looked at each other, both feeling helpless towards their closest family member.

……

five minutes later,

"I'm off!"

Ogiso Setsuna changed into a new outfit, hurriedly stood in front of the entrance, struggled to put on her boots, and called out to the person behind her.

“Have a nice trip~”

"Next time, remember to invite Sakurakoji-kun over for a visit!"

bump!

There was no reply in the air, only the crisp sound of the door slamming shut.

On the road in front of the door,

"Sorry to keep you waiting!" Ogiso Setsuna jogged out of the iron gate of the yard and apologized to Sakurakoji Sai, who was standing under the street lamp.

"It's alright, it only took five minutes and thirty-two seconds, not long at all," Sakurakoji said with a meaningful smile, her eyelids slightly lowered.

"I'm so sorry!" Ogiso Setsuna bowed deeply again.

"Hehe, just kidding, Guomai." Seeing her like this, Sakurakoji Sai couldn't help but chuckle.

"No!" Realizing she had been tricked, Ogiso Setsuna puffed out her cheeks in a huff and stared straight at him with her deep, affectionate phoenix eyes. "...Sakurakoji-kun, you're actually a pretty wicked person."
