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

"Eh? Ma Ji?" An and Subaru were surprised again, not expecting such a coincidence, and then looked at Momoka Kawaragi teasingly: "Looks like we're a little safer now."

"I'll beat you up." Momoka Kawara's face trembled as she clenched her fists.

"Ah, then you can just call me Subaru." Ignoring her outburst, An and Subaru leaned forward, completely regaining their sunny and cheerful demeanor.

“Okay, 486.” Sakurakoji Saiki raised the corner of his mouth with an inexplicable expression. “I am indeed a fan of Momoka-san.”

"...Isn't your pronunciation a little strange?"

"Don't mind it, please take it as my pet name for you."

"Oh, whatever you want then." Although she was still a little upset, she didn't dwell on it.

"But it's still hard to imagine that Caihua is a fan of MMK or something."

"Hmph, you're just envious and jealous." Kawara Momoka raised her head arrogantly and smiled at her with disdain.

"Of course! Who wouldn't want a wealthy fan?" she readily admitted.

"Well, I really never thought of that before."

The three people, who were not socially anxious at all and were good at reading people's expressions, quickly got into a lively conversation. Time passed by unnoticed, and soon it was evening.

During this time, Sakurakoji's talent almost found out the color of their underwear for the day, and of course, the two of them were almost the same.

"It's almost time. We should ask Nina if she's coming tonight." He looked at Momoka Kawaragi.

“Me? Sure.” Kawara Momoka first pointed at herself in surprise, then naturally took out her phone with the cracked screen and turned it on. “But I haven’t contacted her much these past few days, except for visiting her last time.”

"Don't worry, I'm about the same."

"You two are really awful... Are you really friends with her?" An and Subaru couldn't help but complain from the side.

Kawara Momoka found Iori Rencai's account and sent a message.

……

Jingqin Rencai's apartment,

As dusk approached outside, little light could penetrate the glass in the dim light. Inside the pitch-black room, she didn't even turn on the desk lamp, staring blankly at her motionless phone, her face gradually becoming numb.

During that week, she didn't speak to a single person. Every day, besides going to preparatory school for classes, she would go to the study room to study.

In an unfamiliar place, naturally no one would take the initiative to talk to her, especially in a big city where people are particularly indifferent. Moreover, she didn't have the courage to take the initiative to get to know others.

She encountered setbacks everywhere in life, and kept making mistakes in all sorts of small things, which made her realize her powerlessness and uselessness.

In just one week, she understood the hardships and harshness of life, and her heart gradually grew cold.

Drip~

When the text message notification sounded, she looked up sharply, only to find it was just a weather forecast reminder.

"Ha~~~"

She sighed and slumped down on the low wooden round table, feeling utterly powerless.

"I should study." Just as I was about to start studying, my phone vibrated again.

"It's for Miss Momoka!" She quickly opened it to check.

Kawara Momoka: [Did you buy the lamp? I received one that someone else didn't want today, do you want it?]

Momoka Kawahara: [Also, Caihua came from Tokyo today. We're going out for dinner tonight, do you want to come?]

"Mr. Caihua is here too?" Jingqin Rencai's mind cleared up, and she was pleasantly surprised before quickly replying.

Celery and Vegetable Salad: [Thank you so much! I want it!]

Jingqinrencai: [I'm coming right now!]

Not knowing which one she wanted, she immediately stood up from her kneeling position, went to the door to change her shoes, and skipped out of the room. After greeting the neighboring family who happened to be coming out of the next room, she left with great enthusiasm.

Trying hard to recall the address of the villa she had visited last time, she looked at the map on her phone and identified the buildings and road signs along the way, making her way there at a leisurely pace.

"Hey, it should be around here."

Seeing some similar buildings along the roadside, she walked to the familiar building, pushed open the unlocked door, and went inside.

Standing in front of the door in the entryway, she called out, "Excuse me!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Momoka Kawaharaki came out of the living room. "Oh, you came quickly."

After receiving a response from the other party and realizing that she had not gone to the wrong place, Izare Rina spoke again: "Excuse me."

She then opened the smooth door and walked in. For some reason, she remembered the rusty door of the house that Momoka Kawahara had previously rented.

At that moment, Sakurakoji Sai also came out and raised his hand to greet her: "Yo, Nina, long time no see."

"Mr. Caihua! Ms. Taoxiang!" A touch of emotion welled up in her heart, and after realizing what was happening, she bowed to the two of them. "I'm sorry to have bothered you today."

"Don't be so reserved, come in quickly, Miss Momoka is going to treat us soon!"

"Hey, I'll treat you, you don't need to emphasize it like that, do you?" Momoka Kawara said with a hint of helplessness.

"Hmph, I bet you've saved up a lot of money from your part-time job lately. I'm going to squeeze you dry tonight!"

"I just found a part-time job a couple of days ago. Although I've saved on rent and the money you gave me for buying DVDs last time, I do have quite a bit of money in my pocket now." Kawara Momoka narrowed her eyes and scratched her cheek with her finger.

"Haha." Jingqin Rencai found their interaction amusing, raised her hand and chuckled, finally feeling a warmth rising in her heart, sweeping away the gloom of the past few days.

"How are you? Are you getting used to living alone any better?" Momoka Kawara asked.

"Well... I don't know either." She lowered her brows slightly.

"Well, you'll get used to it after another month. It's always like this at first; there will always be various inconveniences." Seeing her embarrassment, Sakurakoji offered words of encouragement.

"Is this child Nina?"

At that moment, another voice came from the room, followed by An and Subaru's heads peeking out.

“Yes,” Momoka Kawara nodded, then looked at Serina Ii and introduced her: “This is Anwa, my new drummer, and the one who brought the lantern.”

"I'm Anwa Subaru! Nice to meet you!" She made a peace sign and winked to show her friendliness.

Jingqin Rencai's expression tightened; she hadn't expected there to be a third person here. She said awkwardly, "I'm Jingqin..."

"Subaru, why don't you join us? It's my treat today." Momoka Kawara crossed her arms and looked at An and Subaru.

"Huh? Is that okay?" An and Subaru blinked hard, looking at her with starry eyes.

"It's okay, I happen to have plenty of money in my pocket right now, but I might not be able to next time."

An and Subaru were about to happily agree, but when they caught a glimpse of the embarrassed Inoue Rencai out of the corner of their eye, they suddenly stopped.

"Hmm~ I'm happy, but I guess I can't."

"Come on, Nina just arrived in Tokyo. Subaru and Nina are the same age."

An and Subaru smiled and met the gaze of Izanagi. Izanagi awkwardly forced a smile, feeling like she was about to break out in a cold sweat.

I can tell now, this is She Niu Yangjiao, a person who is completely opposite to myself!

Sakurakoji Sai stood to the side, watching the whole scene unfold, secretly chuckling to himself. He made no move to intervene or chime in; he simply wanted to enjoy the spectacle.

If we go up to help ease the tension so early, how can we continue the play?

……

Half an hour later, the four of them arrived at a restaurant inside a shopping mall that Kawara Momoka was familiar with.

"This is more like hot pot than shabu-shabu," Momoka Kawahara complained at the table, then took a big gulp of beer.

"Vegetables will taste bad if they're left out for too long." Anhe Mao picked up some cooked vegetables and meat, put them in a bowl, and handed it to Jing Qinrencai: "Here, don't be shy."

Jing Qinren was taken aback. Looking at the ingratiating smile on the other person's face, she accepted the gift under immense pressure: "Thank you."

Volume 1: A Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 92 I'm Just Here to Watch the Show

At the four-person dining table, Momoka Kawaragi and Subaru Anwa sat side by side, while Nina Iori and Saiki Sakurakoji sat in another row.

"Speaking of which, what kind of music does Nina like?" Anwa Subaru tried to start a conversation.

"Huh?" Jing Qinrencai exclaimed in surprise.

"Favorite bands, singers, etc." Anwa Subaru asked.

"Influenced by your grandmother, you like singers from the Showa era, right?" Momoka Kawaharaki knew her a little and answered for her after taking a bite of her food.

"Hey~ that's great, that's great too, I listen to it sometimes." An and Subaru nodded in agreement. "Who do you like?"

“No, rather than saying I like it…” Jingqin Rencai began slowly and softly.

Sakurakoji, whose talent was unspoken, didn't join their conversation, but instead focused on picking up food and cooking. He said he was going to drain Kawaharaki Momoka's wallet dry tonight, and he meant it. The other three hadn't eaten much yet, but he had already started his second bowl.

He rushed over from Tokyo this afternoon and invited Izayoi Serina to dinner right on time. He's been waiting for her until now, and he's been starving.

At this point, the background music in the store changed.

Before she could finish speaking, An and Subaru exclaimed in surprise, "Oh! This piece is by GrayRuch, isn't it?"

"Really? You listen to GrayRuch's songs?" Momoka Kawara said, somewhat surprised.

"I've been to one concert and one music festival."

"Was the music festival in Chiba last year?" Momoka Kawahara asked curiously.

"So, the scene was quite brutal—"

Was it tragic?

“No wonder they haven’t been invited to any events.” Recalling the exaggerated scene back then, An and Subaru sighed, “They haven’t held a proper concert since then.”

"Hmm—I haven't paid much attention, but that might be true."

Seeing the two of them chatting happily, Jing Qinrencai, who had no idea what they were talking about, couldn't get a word in edgewise and could only hold her bowl of vegetables and watch them silently.

Unpleasant memories of school gradually surfaced in my mind, and my eyes slowly died.

Sakurakoji secretly glanced at her, observing her reaction. Judging from her current mood, he figured she wasn't about to explode here, so he picked up another piece of beef, dipped it in the sauce, and put it in his mouth with a satisfied expression.

“They were pretty good when they debuted,” Anwa Subaru concluded, glancing at Ino Serina, seemingly sensing her lack of interest, and then changing the subject: “Nina, aren’t you going to the concert?”

"I haven't been there much..."

Without any hint of a turn of events, upon hearing this, An and Subaru immediately switched gears: "Oh, I see. The pot's almost boiling. Shall we put the meat in?"

"..."

Don't you like eating meat?

"..."

"Nina?"

"Excuse me... excuse me for a moment." Overwhelmed by her enthusiasm, a cold sweat appeared on Izaya Rina's forced smile. After saying this softly, she carefully left her seat and headed to the restroom.

"..."

"..."

Watching her retreating figure, the two people opposite Sakurakoji exchanged glances. They were both academic high-achieving students with high emotional intelligence who could get into prestigious universities, so how could they not see her situation?

"...Did I say something wrong?" Anwa Subaru asked Kawara Momoka hesitantly.

"No, she's just a little shy, don't worry about it." Kawara Momoka comforted her, then closed her eyes slightly and looked at Sakurakoji Sai: "But you, why are you still able to eat so intently?"

"Well, it's not a big deal anyway, we'll get used to it after a few more times," Sakurakoji replied with a nonchalant smile.

"The reason I became acquainted with her so quickly was because I happened to help her when I first met her. As for Ms. Momoka, it's probably because she's a fan of yours, otherwise, it would probably be the same, right?"

“That’s true, that’s how it is, don’t worry about it.” Kawara Momoka looked back at Anwa Subaru.

"Ha, that's good." An and Subaru sighed.

"You'll be fine after meeting a few more times, but I suggest you find an opportunity to be honest with her. After all, in her eyes, Subaru is probably the type she can't handle the most," he offered his advice.

"Someone as outgoing as you, radiating an aura of 'I'm doing this for your own good,' might have touched a nerve with her, touching on unpleasant memories and her fragile self-esteem."

"How nice~ They're so kind to someone as unpopular as me, radiating an aura of 'I'm thinking of you'—or something like that."

"She's really awkward and insignificant," Momoka Kawara couldn't help but sigh. "How did she develop such a troublesome personality?"

"Isn't it great? If the world were full of people who compromise with reality, how boring it would be. We've found a rare treasure, we should cherish it." Sakura Koji chewed on the crisp bamboo shoot in his mouth, his voice slightly muffled.
