Anime Crossover: There are a lot of beautiful girls who like me.

The reason she agreed to form a light music club and serve as the keyboardist was also because of Kitagawa Yu.

Because she focused on the piano from a young age, although she wasn't a loner or socially anxious, she never really had any friends.

So Kitagawa Yu, who had been learning piano with her since the first year of junior high school, was her first and most important friend!

Now that Kitagawa Yuu has already been 'driven away' by Okita Sawa, why does she still want to continue forming the light music club with Okita Sawa?

On the other side, Okita Sawa first heard Miyamoto Motokazu say that she was going to give up forming the light music club, and then heard Sakai Kazuna say that she was going to join the piano club alone. She couldn't help but change her expression and wanted to say something. But just as Miyamoto Motokazu said, Kitagawa Yu had already left. Was it still necessary for her to stick to the promise she made back then?

Suddenly, she felt a pang of sadness and confusion, as if something precious had been taken away from her.

To be honest, although Kitagawa Yu always said that she sang very well and had a lot of talent for singing, and she would usually listen to the songs that Kitagawa Yu liked and recommended to her, and often accompany Kitagawa Yu when he practiced guitar and piano, she was actually not very interested in forming a band or group with Kitagawa Yu.

Her specialty is archery, which she has been practicing since elementary school. During junior high school, she won first place in the county competition twice and a national championship once.

Her favorite thing is horseback riding, which she started learning on her own in junior high school, and her dream is to become a female jockey.

As for the person she loved... he has already left her.

So is it still necessary for her to continue forming a light music club?

“Lai Xia is right. Then, I’ll join the archery club just like I did in junior high.”

Sawa Okita forced a smile, trying hard to appear nonchalant, but her slightly trembling voice betrayed her true feelings. Her clenched hands were so tight that her knuckles turned pale.

Unfortunately, Sakai Kazuna had already turned her head away and looked away before she could speak. Hearing that she had also given up on forming the light music club so easily, she felt both angry and disappointed.

The slow-witted Miyamoto Natsumi was only slightly disappointed before taking out her phone, opening Line, and sending messages to Kitagawa Yu in a flurry.

"What are you doing?"

Out of the corner of her eye, Okita Sawa caught sight of that familiar profile picture. Her breath caught in her throat, her heart tightened, and she instinctively asked a question.

"Of course we'll send a message to Yu that we're not forming a light music club!"

Miyamoto Natsumi didn't even look up, continuing to type as she grumbled, "It's all because he went to Tokyo to study that we can't gather enough people to form the light music club!"

Chapter 6: Since we're friends, it's okay, right?

"..."

"Is it because I left that we couldn't form a light music club?"

"That's true. From beginning to end, whether it was forming a light music club or forming a band, it was just my dream... No, it wasn't even a dream, just an idea."

"I read in a book that no matter how close you are, there will be arguments and separations. Even if you are incompatible, it is possible to miraculously stick together sometimes."

"It seems such miracles are not for me."

Kitagawa Yu silently put away her phone, a faint bitterness rising in her heart. Even amidst the crowded throng, she felt a profound loneliness that defied description.

until......

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

A gentle touch on his arm snapped Kitagawa Yu out of his deep, ocean-like loneliness.

However, the slightly concerned voice did not come from Himegami Karen to his right, but rather, somewhat unexpectedly, from Hachimi Anna to his left.

To keep Hakamada Sosuke as far away as possible from Himegami Karen, this 'dangerous person,' Hanami Anna also put some thought into her positioning.

With Himegami Karen already standing to Kitagawa Yu's right, as long as she stands to Kitagawa Yu's left, Hakamada Sosuke will have no choice but to stand to her left unless he shamelessly abandons her.

With Hakamada Sosuke and Himemiya Karen separated by Hakamada Sosuke and Kitagawa Yu, even if they wanted to steal a glance at Himemiya Karen out of the corner of their eyes, Kitagawa Yu's body would block their view.

However, she was only smug for a couple of seconds before she noticed something strange about Kitagawa Yu's expression out of the corner of her eye.

Originally, she didn't intend to pay attention to it, after all, she and Kitagawa Yuya had only just met.

However, after sensing the sadness and loneliness emanating from Kitagawa Yu, the kind-hearted girl hesitated for a moment, but ultimately felt that she should show concern even if they were just classmates she had just met, so she gently touched Kitagawa Yu with her arm.

"It's nothing~" Kitagawa Yu quickly composed himself and smiled at her.

"Oh."

Unlike Karen Himemiya and Shiozaki Lemon, Anna Hanami wasn't oblivious to the topic. Knowing that Yu Kitagawa didn't want to discuss it further, she proactively changed the subject, saying, "I didn't expect the freshman representative giving the speech to be from our class too~"

Kitagawa Yu followed her gaze to Shiina Mahiru, who was giving a speech on the podium, and couldn't help but smile and say, "Yes, our class is surprisingly full of talented people~"

Seeing Anzu stealthily glance at Kitagawa Yu again, Banami thought to herself, "This guy seems pretty easy to talk to, and... I've helped him out, right? So he shouldn't repay kindness with enmity and reveal my true identity, right?"

On the other side, Karen Himegami and Sosuke Hakamada, having overheard the two's hushed conversation, turned around at the same time, glancing at them with slight surprise in their hearts.

However, neither of them are the type to overthink things.

Just then, Anna's stomach rumbled at that very inopportune moment, so the two of them quickly put the matter out of their minds.

"Huh? Is Apricot Sauce hungry?" Himegami Karen asked in surprise.

It's only 10 o'clock now, and there are still two hours until lunchtime. If I hadn't skipped breakfast, I'd be hungry way too fast!

“‘Apricot Sauce’? Do I know you that well?” Banai thought to herself as she secretly grumbled.

However, before she could even habitually bring up the excuse that she had forgotten to eat breakfast, Hakamada Sosuke, standing beside her, grinned and said, "Anna is a 'big eater' who eats six meals a day, so it's normal for her to be hungry at this time~"

"..."

Seeing the black lines on Yanami Anna's face, her forehead throbbing, and her fists clenching involuntarily, Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but worry about Hakamada Sosuke's emotional intelligence, and almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

No girl wants to be criticized by the boy she likes for "eating too much," especially in front of a rival.

So at this moment, for the first time in her life, Anna Hanami truly felt that Hakamada Sosuke was such an idiot, and that she didn't need this childhood friend!

However, she immediately thought that if she didn't want Hakamada Sosuke anymore, it would be even worse if Hakamada Sosuke really got together with Himegami Karen, so she suppressed her anger and quickly put the thought out of her head.

But... looking at Himegami Karen's sweet smile, as if she were watching a panda performance at the zoo, and then at Hakamada Sosuke's seemingly cheerful but actually lewd, obsequious, and ingratiating grin, she felt a surge of irritation.

Even someone as eloquent as her was momentarily speechless with anger, and could only stand there like a fool, forcing a dry laugh, her small hands gripping the hem of her clothes tightly.

But just then, a clean, fair hand with long, slender fingers suddenly appeared in her line of sight.

When Hana saw Anna, she subconsciously looked in the direction of her arm and then saw Kitagawa Yu, who was also smiling.

However, this smile did not make her feel disgusted.

"I have some chocolate here. If you don't mind, you can have it."

"Huh? Chocolate?"

When Banai saw Anja, she was stunned. She subconsciously looked down at the chocolate balls in Kitagawa Yu's palm. For some reason, the depressed and irritable feeling in her heart dissipated a lot.

It felt like she was back on the familiar rooftop of the teaching building, where warm sunlight and a gentle breeze fell on her face.

"This guy is actually quite considerate!" Bana thought to herself as she noticed Anja's long eyelashes tremble slightly.

"Although we've only just met, we're classmates, and I just helped him out, so... it's okay if I eat his chocolate, right?"

While Anna was still hesitating, her gluttonous nature, which had regained its upper hand, and her stomach, which was now issuing warnings of hunger, urged her to reach for the chocolate.

"Then I'm not welcome!"

In less than a second, Anna Hanami peeled off the plastic wrapping and popped a chocolate ball into her mouth.

The mellow bittersweet flavor melted in her mouth, making her happy again.

Then, greedily, she popped another chocolate ball into her mouth, like a little hamster eating, her cheeks puffed out as she muttered, "I didn't expect a boy like you to carry around chocolate with you."

“Because I often get hungry,” Kitagawa Yu explained with a smile. “Chocolate not only replenishes energy, but it can also refresh the mind like coffee, making the brain more active, so I always carry a few pieces with me in case I need them.”

"Oh, I see. But why dark chocolate? Don't you like sweets?" Suddenly realizing that as long as she chatted with Kitagawa Yu, Hakamada Sosuke couldn't awkwardly try to chat with Himemiya Karen across the two people, Yanami Anna took the initiative to chat with Kitagawa Yu.

"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that eating too many sweets is bad for my health and can easily make me gain weight. Also, if it's not dark chocolate, the cocoa powder content is too low, which would reduce its effectiveness in energizing and replenishing energy, wouldn't it?"

“Yeah, that makes sense,” Banai saw Anja nod, then smiled smugly and said, “But I’m the kind of person who can eat whatever I want and never gain weight, so I don’t have to worry about eating as much as I want~”

After saying that, Bana saw Anna steal a glance at Himegami Karen beside her out of the corner of her eye. Seeing that Himegami Karen was indeed showing an envious expression, Bana felt even happier and more proud.

It's supposed to be a bitter dark chocolate, but when you eat it, it tastes like cotton candy, so sweet it makes your eyes squint.

"Huh? This one tastes really weird!" Anna Hanami suddenly said after popping the third chocolate ball into her mouth.

“This is a black truffle chocolate.” Kitagawa Yu’s gaze temporarily shifted from her cute 'hamster emoji' to the plastic wrapper in her hand, and he said.

"Huh? Chocolate with black truffle flavor?" Yana asked, tilting her head and looking at him with surprise.

"Of course, this is one of the signature chocolates of Belgium, the chocolate kingdom."

"Oh...it tasted a little strange at first, but it's actually quite delicious once you taste it carefully~"

"..."

"I really want to switch seats with Kitagawa-kun!" Hakamada Sosuke, who couldn't get a word in edgewise, looked at the two chatting enthusiastically, and then at Himegami Karen, who was far away from him, and couldn't help but feel frustrated.

Meanwhile, although Kitagawa Yu and Banami Anna were trying to keep their voices down, their whispered conversation was still clearly seen by Shiina Mahiru, who was giving a speech on stage.

Chapter 7 Envy from the Angel

"Those two guys were so rude!"

Nobody likes it when, as a representative of the new students, they are giving a serious speech and people are whispering among themselves. Even if... Shiina Mahiru herself felt that her speech was too formulaic and a bit boring, it was still basic courtesy, wasn't it?

Besides... everyone else was listening attentively, and even if they weren't paying attention, they weren't whispering to each other!

"Kitagawa-kun, is that right? I'll remember you!" Shiina Mahiru muttered to herself.

Although she is gentle, kind, and well-behaved, she wouldn't get particularly angry over such a small matter, but she would definitely feel a little dissatisfied.

In fact, the more gentle and obedient a girl appears on the outside, the richer her inner emotions often are.

At least, that's the case for Shiina Mahiru.

in addition......

"This guy and that blue-haired girl, they must have just met, right?"

Although she only met Kitagawa Yu for the first time this morning when she left for school, she knew that Kitagawa Yu had only moved next door a week ago.

In addition, she knew Kitagawa Yu's surname because, out of "politeness," when she went out to buy something at the convenience store, she "casually" glanced at the address next door.

Seeing Kitagawa Yuu make new friends so soon after enrolling in school, and the two chatting happily, she suddenly felt a pang of envy.

Although her gentle, obedient, quiet, and virtuous 'angelic' appearance meant that she never lacked friends in school from childhood to adulthood.

However, being disliked and abandoned by her parents, who were only married for the purpose of family alliance, made her very fragile and lonely inside, deeply wary of the world, and extremely insecure.
