In this crossover anime, I've been bound to two systems.

"What a fantastic solo! The rhythm was amazing! It was so captivating! Ichiri-chan is incredible!"

Ichika Nijika's eyes sparkled as she ran over and grasped Goto Ichiri's hands, bouncing slightly with excitement.

"I'm so sorry for presuming that Ichiri-chan's guitar skills are only average! Ahhh! What a fateful encounter! Why aren't Ryo and Ikuyo-chan here yet? I really want to introduce you two to each other soon!"

"Eh... Ah, um..."

Although I don't know what happened, judging from her expression, I must have performed well.

Unaware of what was going on, Goto Ichiri jumped up and down along with her.

Once they had quieted down a bit, Suzumiya Chisato went over and expressed her own feelings.

"Ichiri-san's performance was wonderful."

"Eh... oh, no... hehe..."

Goto Ichiri touched the back of his head.

Suzumiya Chisato continued to fuel her confidence.

"I'm an outsider and can't offer any valuable evaluation, but when I listened to Ichiri-san's performance just now, I did think of the morning breeze, the flowing water in the forest, the starry night sky, and the rising sun."

"What does it mean?"

Nijika Ichichi asked the question on behalf of Ichiri Goto, who hadn't understood.

"They are all beautiful things that are hard to resist, just like Ichiri-san's performance."

Suzumiya Chisato beamed and gave a thumbs-up.

"I love so much."

“Gu!…”

Goto Ichiri's face flushed red instantly, a puff of steam rose from the top of his head, and his mind was instantly filled with the word "like".

Then, her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground. Even though she had lost consciousness, she couldn't stop giggling foolishly.

"Ah! Ichiri-chan!"

"..."

"What should we do! What's wrong with Ichiri-chan's health?! We need to call an ambulance right away!"

"...Don't be nervous, this is her normal reaction, you'll get used to it."

…………

The progress of the mission in Chapter 99 has increased.

"This is Kita Ikuyo, the lead singer of our band."

"This is Ryo Yamada, our band's bassist."

Around 6 PM, through the introduction of Ijichi Nijika, Suzumiya Chisato and Goto Ichiri met the two remaining members of the band.

Like Ichika Ichi, Kita Ikuyo is a very outgoing and cheerful girl with a natural ability to make friends. When she's excited, her eyes can sparkle with tiny, tangible stars that can infect others.

Yamada Ryo, on the other hand, was much more composed. From the moment she entered the store until they introduced themselves, her expression remained largely unchanged, remaining quite calm throughout.

The young people quickly became acquainted after exchanging a few words.

After that, Ichiji Nijika and the other two held a simple welcome party for Goto Ichiri, who had just joined the band. Suzumiya Chisato also got to enjoy some cake and hamburgers delivered by takeout while she was with her.

Around 7 o'clock, the number of guests in the performance hall gradually increased.

Although the store manager said that Suzumiya Chisato should get familiar with the place today and then officially start working tomorrow.

But seeing that the bar was short-staffed and struggling to keep up, Suzumiya Chisato took the initiative to go over and help.

It's simply a matter of pouring the drinks and alcohol ordered by the customers into glasses, adding ice, and handing them over. The manager takes the money, so it's not a difficult task.

He followed the manager's instructions, communicating with customers with a smile throughout. Midway through, a group of older women were captivated by his smile. Even with their drinks in hand, they lingered at the bar, chatting with him and even asking for his contact information.

They seemed to be acquaintances of the store manager, who jokingly remarked, "They're still students, and you're already making moves on them. Besides, don't you both have boyfriends?"

After dismissing them with those words, Ijichi Hoshika glanced at the boy beside her and took back her previous statement.

"You shouldn't smile unless it's absolutely necessary, so as not to give others the impression that you're easy to take advantage of. Being constantly asked for your contact information will also affect your work."

"understood."

"You don't need to smile at me either!"

"?"

The store manager's subtle reaction went unnoticed by Chisato Suzumiya.

He focused on his work, occasionally glancing at the band performance on stage.

At first, he only found it a bit noisy, but after getting used to it, he found it wasn't so unbearable, and even became somewhat immersed in it.

There's a reason why band culture has endured for so long.

Around nine o'clock, a few customers still occasionally came into the store, but it wasn't as busy as before.

Ijichi Hoshika patted Suzumiya Chisato, who was standing in front of the cash register, and told him to go home early.

"It's not too late yet, it's okay if I leave a little later."

"No need, go back and rest early. Here, take this."

Ichi Hoshika handed over four thousand-yen bills.

Suzumiya Senri confiscated.

"I'm not starting work until tomorrow, and besides, I'm not paid weekly."

"You did a good job. I wouldn't take advantage of a student like you. Here, have a late-night snack on your way back."

"...Thank you, store manager."

Suzumiya Chisato stretched out both hands, but only accepted two thousand yen.

"I don't eat much, 2,000 yen is enough for me to be full."

Ijichi Hoshika smiled and didn't insist.

"Whatever you want, just be careful on your way back."

"Yes."

When Suzumiya Chisato left the bar and arrived at the recording studio, the four members of the band had already finished practicing long ago and were chatting happily together.

Goto Ichiri was clearly still a bit timid and hadn't quite integrated into the group, but she was much better off than at the beginning. At least she could answer questions haltingly when asked occasionally, and she no longer hid under the table so often.

Even so, the moment Suzumiya Chisato pushed open the door and came in, she stood up and quickly walked to his side.

The unfamiliar environment and the people she had only recently met put her under considerable psychological pressure, so it was wonderful to have a familiar person by her side.

"H-Hello, Suzumiya-san, is your part-time job over yet?"

Goto Ichiri, who was speaking softly with her head slightly tilted back, had pitiful eyes filled with longing to go home as soon as possible.

Seeing her expression, Suzumiya Chisato almost couldn't resist reaching out and touching her head.

Where did these cute little animals come from?

Midway through, he changed direction and began lightly scratching his cheek.

"Okay, it's over. I'm going home right away. If you're done here, let's go together."

"Ah, um!"

Goto Ichiri breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around, greeted the other members of the band, slung her guitar and backpack over her shoulder, and walked out of the Starry Night with Suzumiya Chisato.

The rain was still falling, and it seemed to be even heavier than when we arrived.

The two opened their umbrellas and walked into the rain.

Water seeped into the gaps between the bricks of the street, splashing high when you stepped on it.

"Ah! Sorry!"

Goto Ichiri looked at Suzumiya Chisato's trouser legs, which were now soaked with sweat because of his carelessness. His heart, which had just calmed down after escaping from the unfamiliar environment, suddenly started pounding violently again.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll definitely have to wash these clothes when I get back anyway. How are the new friends I met?"

Suzumiya Chisato appears to be looking straight ahead, but she is actually looking at the panel of the Pure Love System that she has brought up. In the section about the task of making Goto Ichiri respected or loved by others, the progress bar has begun to change and has become (4/100).

He guessed that the four new members were likely the other three girls in the band and the shop manager.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but at least we've taken the first step.

“Kita and Ijichi are very easy to talk to and take good care of me. They are wonderful people.”

"Where is the bassist?"

"As for Yamada, I feel like we could get along very well. She seems to be like me, a quiet and taciturn person on the fringes of school."

"Then let's try our best to get along well."

"Um... thank you, Suzumiya-san. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to overcome my fear and join the End Band."

"No need to be so polite. On the contrary, I'm the one who owes a debt of gratitude to you for helping me find a pretty good part-time job."

The two had reached the tram stop while talking, but since they were going in different directions, they waved goodbye.

After returning home and taking a shower, he buried himself in his homework at his desk and saw a message from Goto Ichiri that he had arrived home safely, which put him at ease.

At midnight, just before going to sleep, he brought up the panel of the evil system.

The update is still in progress. Seeing that the progress bar hasn't loaded much even after a whole day, it will probably take about a week to complete.

Suzumiya Senri stopped thinking about it, snuggled into the blankets, and soon fell asleep.
