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

"What's that..." Sakurakoji Cai retorted.

“However,” she picked up a pinkish-white petal and held it in front of her eyes, where it overlapped with the image of Sakurakoji standing directly in front of her. Her unfocused eyes seemed to be looking at the cherry blossoms or at him, giving her own answer.

"Right now, it's white."

"Oh, you're copying me?"

"Maybe," she chuckled, her smile much wider than before.

Sakurakoji Sai's facial features relaxed, and he felt helpless. Then, as usual, he asked the question he already knew the answer to: "My name is Sakurakoji Sai. What's yours?"

“Sakurakoji? Just like cherry blossoms.” She held up a petal in her hand to indicate, then met his gaze directly, and said without any hesitation, “My name is Shiina Mashiro.”

"Talent, talent is really good." She muttered his name to herself. "His voice is very nice, his looks and style are very good, and the color he chose is the same as mine."

As she finished speaking, she smoothed her hair that had fallen in front of her and looked at him again: "I really like it."

Sakurakoji's pupils contracted temporarily due to the accident, but quickly returned to normal. He smiled and said, "Thank you. I like myself too."

"Where did Mashiro come from, and what is she doing sitting here all this time?"

“I’m transferring to England soon, so I came to check it out today.” Shiina Mashiro pointed to the building in front of the two of them.

Although she put it simply, he immediately understood what she meant.

"???"

When he typed a question mark, it meant there was definitely a problem here!

Wait, weren't you supposed to transfer to Suimei University of the Arts High School? Why did you transfer to Philia? And the timing doesn't make sense either; shouldn't you have appeared after the start of the school year?

"...Why did Mashiro transfer here?" Although his eyebrows trembled, he still forced himself to continue asking.

“Because this place is famous in the arts and has an animation academy, I wanted to become a cartoonist. My grandfather knew the principal here, so he introduced me to this place.”

In just a few words, she explained the gist of the matter, and Sakurakoji Saiki finally understood. It turned out that the settings were influencing each other.

Although it's hard to let go of, it's also understandable. It would be strange if different scenes and characters didn't interact and influence each other when put together.

Philia Academy has branches all over the world and is a well-known art and professional school. Shiina Mashiro wants to study manga in Japan, so enrolling in one of its branches here seems like a pretty normal thing.

Moreover, as top figures in the arts, it's not surprising that they would know each other; perhaps Uncle Yi Yuan also knew her grandfather.

However… Sakurakoji looked at her with a complicated expression.

She has the same golden hair, is of British and Japanese descent, comes from a good family, is an artist, and is even a completely useless person with no self-care ability—how come she becomes the ultimate winner and heroine?

You're right, aren't you, Eriri?

It's here! Sorry for the late post today.

Volume 1: A Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 88 A Promising Young Man

Could it be because the difference in some numerical value is too large? Sakurakoji looked down and saw that the difference was indeed quite significant, and because her waist was so slender, it probably looked even larger in reality.

With so many similarities, isn't it a bit like their settings overlapped? If the two of them were to meet later... that seems quite interesting.

"Goo~~~"

While Sakurakoji was deep in thought, a clear voice rang out between the two of them, drawing his attention.

"I'm hungry." Shiina Mashiro, without any sense of shame, simply looked up at him and explained.

"Oh, I'm actually quite full, since I just had lunch." He touched his slightly bulging belly and explained his situation to her.

"It's really good."

"Yeah, that's pretty good."

"Because it's very uncomfortable when you're hungry."

"Yeah."

"..."

"..."

After staring at her for a long time, seeing that her expression remained unchanged, Sakurakoji finally gave in and sighed, "I understand, come with me."

"?" Shiina Mashiro tilted her head cutely, her face completely expressionless.

"What do you want to eat?"

"do not know."

"Oh, so it's up to you then?" Having deciphered this most troublesome signal, he didn't get anxious like the others, since it wasn't him who was eating.

"Is cake okay?"

"The cake is nice, very sweet, it can make people feel happy."

“This is it.” He immediately made the decision. “Follow me.”

So he started his journey again, heading towards the apartment building not far away for the third time, only this time, he had a little tail following him.

Following him step by step into the lavishly decorated lobby, Shiina Mashiro looked around and asked, "Where is this?"

"It's the lobby on the first floor of the apartment building."

"An apartment? Weren't we going to eat cake?" Shiina Mashiro stopped in her tracks, her brows slightly drooping, revealing a hint of disappointment.

“That’s right,” Sakurakoji Sai turned around and explained to her, “The cake shop is right down here.”

"Is that so?" Shiina Mashiro stared at him with some disbelief, asking in a deep, emotionless voice.

"Is such that."

"Really?"

"real."

Seeing that she seemed to want to say something, Sakura Koji immediately stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and pulled her toward the elevator.

"Alright, stop asking, you'll find out soon enough."

As he pulled her away somewhat forcefully, Shiina Mashiro staggered slightly, but he quickly helped her back up. During this short journey, she would occasionally glance at his unwavering back and occasionally observe the other people in the hall.

Lacking her own opinions, she was like a small boat adrift on the sea, and his grasp on her hand was like a sail guiding the boat.

This feeling isn't so bad.

"His talent is surprisingly strong."

"I treat different people differently, but I'm just tough on you."

Completely unaware of the terrible things he had said, he led her into the elevator and pressed the button for the basement.

He had to be firm. If he sat down and talked to her slowly, he felt that the two of them could stare at each other blankly for a whole day.

ding dong~

The elevator doors opened, and he expertly led her out of the alleyway and onto the main underground street. After walking only a few dozen meters along the brightly lit street, they arrived at a stylish-looking coffee shop.

"arrive."

"The cake is right here?"

"YES."

After a brief exchange, Sakurakoji led her through the door to the front desk, turning back to look at her, who was as quiet as a rabbit, curiously looking around.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Cake." Shiina Masahiro innocently frowned, wondering why he would ask this question.

“I know it’s cake, but what I wanted to ask was… never mind.” He exhaled a little louder, giving up on that point. “Give me two cups of special black tea, with milk and sugar, and a coffee jelly.”

"The cake should be a soufflé and a mousse... just in case, a cupcake too, that's all."

After ordering, he led Shiina Mashiro to a quiet spot to sit down.

Although this place is located underground and the prices are not low, it is usually very popular because of its outstanding taste.

Incidentally, the head chef here is Yashima Ichiyo. In other words, this place is also part of Sakurakoji's family business, or rather, it belongs to his property along with the apartment. The desserts he used to take out were also made here.

Because it is integrated with the apartment building, residents on the 60th floor and above also have the right to order special meals.

"I didn't expect there to actually be a shop down here, it gave me quite a shock." After the two sat down, Shiina Mashiro remarked in a calm tone.

"I already told you I did, but it seems you didn't believe me."

"I thought talent meant locking me up in some underground, sealed room, like in a TV drama," Shiina Mashiro added candidly.

"Then they did this and that to me."

"...It's a good thing you didn't shout to get attention." He looked at her with a complicated expression, unsure whether he should praise her.

I suppose the TV series is British, and probably the kind that features secret police or special operations agencies.

No wonder she was looking around in the lobby earlier; was she trying to ask someone for help with her eyes?

“Because…” Shiina Mashiro looked up to meet his eyes and gave him a natural smile, “I think Caihua is reliable and not that kind of bad person.”

"..." Sakurakoji was silent for a long time before giving his evaluation: "You have a good eye for people."

They didn't have to wait long before the waiter brought all the food over.

“Eat up, this is all for you.” He picked up a cup of black tea, took a sip, and then pointed to the remaining food on the table.

"Aren't you going to eat the talent?" Shiina Mashiro glanced at the four desserts on the table and turned her gaze to him.

"I'm full from eating earlier, so I don't want to eat now. You can eat."

"so."

Without further formalities, she nodded knowingly, then picked up the cupcake and put it directly into her mouth to eat.

Sakurakoji looked over expectantly, wanting to see how she would react.

With just one bite, the aroma of sugar and egg white instantly enveloped her taste buds, revealing a shocked expression on her usually calm and beautiful face. Her eyes sparkled, as if filled with boundless emotion.

She looked down at the cupcake she had taken a bite out of, and couldn't believe that such a flavor could be hidden in such a small shape. She picked it up and put it down again, looking at it from left to right and from top to bottom.

Then she looked up and extended a sincere invitation.

"Aren't you going to eat the talent? It's really delicious!"

"I'm full just watching you eat." Sakurakoji was quite satisfied with her reaction and adorable manner, a sense of satisfaction welling up inside him. Was this what they meant by "beauty is food for the eyes"? But something seemed off.

"It's really, really delicious!" she emphasized again, afraid he wouldn't believe her.

"Don't worry, I eat it all the time, so you can eat as much as you like."

Shiina Mashiro nodded and continued to slowly nibble on her food like a hamster. After finishing the cupcake, she picked up the mousse, took a bite, and her eyes welled up with tears of joy and emotion.

This happened two or three times, and after she had eaten all four desserts, she finally—felt a little uncomfortable—touched her noticeably protruding belly.

"I'm so full..." Shiina Mashiro said with an ambiguous expression, but recalling the taste from earlier, she said with satisfaction, "But it was really delicious."

Sakurakoji watched her performance with a light smile, observing her daily actions, always feeling as if he were feeding a pet.

He put down his teacup, feeling it was about time to get down to business.

"Mashiro, where are you living now? You'll be taking classes at Philia's place, right?"

Since the school I'm enrolling in has changed, I can't possibly stay at Sakura-sou, which is several wards away, right?

"It's with my cousin, but she said she'll help me find another place later."

"Could it be a dormitory?"

"?" Shiina Mashiro explained again: "It's at my cousin's house."

"I see."

It seems that the other person has returned home because of spring break, Sakurakoji deduced.

"Still haven't found it? School starts soon, right?"

"I don't know. Chihiro gets very drunk every day and says things like, 'It's not bad if he's married' or 'Aren't there any men in the world who can have sex?' I don't know if she's found one."

*Slap!* Sakurakoji Saiki couldn't help but slap his forehead, his face full of black lines.
