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

Chapter 97: The body really does move on its own!

White radish, carrot, cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, and scallions, with the main ingredients being enoki mushrooms and top-quality beef—these were the ingredients Kitagawa Yuzai and Tsukimi Eiko finally decided on after discussing them.

As the flavors of these ingredients blended with the broth, bubbling and steaming under the high heat, releasing their aroma, Kitagawa Yu and Tsukimi Eiko, sitting at the table, looked into each other's eyes and smiled, and spontaneously clasped their hands together.

"Ita da ki masu!"

......

......

"Let me do the dishes today!"

"But--"

"Isn't Yu supposed to do post-production work on two songs?"

"Oh well."

Seeing the determination in Tsukimi Eiko's eyes, Kitagawa Yu didn't refuse any longer. After dinner, he went to the keyboard for composing, opened his laptop, put on his headphones, and began working on the post-production of the two songs.

Because he had the original version in his mind as a reference, Kitagawa Yu didn't need to think or struggle to know how to adjust it, so the post-production speed was much faster than Tsukimi Eiko and even he himself had expected.

The two songs were completed in less than half an hour.

So much so that after washing the dishes, Tsukimi Eiko secretly went back to her room to change into her newly bought maid outfit. She was just about to sneak up behind Kitagawa Yu to surprise him when Kitagawa Yu saw her as soon as she left the room.

"..."

"..."

Seeing Tsukimi Eiko's somewhat embarrassed and dejected expression, Kitagawa Yu was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle and said to her, "It's finished. Would you like to hear it?"

"want!"

Eiko Tsukimi immediately forgot the embarrassment and frustration of the failed battle plan and eagerly ran towards Yu Kitagawa.

"Even though they really like it, they always say 'it's not bad'."

"Faced with my inability to openly express my joy, you looked at the summer sea, smiled, and said to me, 'It's nice like this, isn't it?'"

Even when the sunlight is too bright, and even when my tears have dried up, you are still by my side supporting me.

"Blooming like a sunflower..."

Warm songs and melodies echoed in my ears, and for a moment the entire living room seemed to be filled with golden sunflowers, and the air was filled with the scent of sunshine.

It must be said that the two songs, after post-production, sound a level above what they were recorded in the studio.

If Momoka Kawahara and Subaru Anwa were to listen to this now, they would definitely be even more shocked, and their decision about whether or not to join the White Sand Band would become even more complicated.

However, as Kitagawa Yu listened to the song that still warmed his heart no matter how many times he had heard it, he suddenly sighed inwardly and couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

Because... when the song cleared away all distractions and his mind was completely emptied, he finally realized something.

That is, he seems to have really fallen for Tsukimi Eiko, whom he has only known for a few days, but who has already regarded him as the most important person in his life, or even his whole life.

I enjoy cooking for him; it's the happiest thing I do every day.

This way, he won't have to face an empty room and eat a cold lunchbox alone when he gets home every night.

The girl who made him no longer lonely in the unfamiliar city.

But he also knew that he liked Anna Hanami.

The deep affection he had for Anna Hanami accumulated in his previous life transformed into a feeling called liking in his interactions with her in this life, and this feeling grew stronger as they spent more time together.

Furthermore, as he got to know Himemiya Karen, he developed a vague fondness for her, even a slight liking for her, which he had previously disliked or even disliked.

Finally, there's Okita Sawa, his childhood friend. Although he doesn't really want to admit it, he knows that he hasn't completely let go of Okita Sawa in his heart.

When he first heard the song "Horizon", the first image that came to his mind was that of Sawa Okita, and he felt so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.

So... I'm really torn!

Tsukimi Eiko, this simple, kind, and somewhat clumsy girl, is the lead singer of his band that he has chosen, someone who will stay with him forever. He simply cannot and does not want to refuse Tsukimi Eiko.

But as for Hanami Anna... his relationship with Hanami Anna just had a breakthrough yesterday, and he even agreed to form a band and perform together with her!

As for Okita Sawa... let's not think about that for now.

"Damn it... I wish I could be like those male protagonists in harem anime, able to date several girlfriends at the same time..."

"Speaking of which, how was Wen Shuiheyan's hypocritical and womanizing behavior handled in the original novel?"

“He says ‘I don’t like you’ but thinks ‘we’re just friends’. Yet he keeps flirting with girls. Even if they hold hands, hug, feed each other, or indirectly kiss, he still stubbornly insists that ‘it’s just friendship.’”

"Then, when those girls wanted to quit or give up, he used 'protecting friendship' as an excuse to desperately try to maintain the ambiguous relationship between them. In the end, he managed to maintain the 1 vs. 7 battle without losing for 8 volumes thanks to his only advantage of being 'super gentle'."

"So... as long as you're kind enough, you can be a player without making a mistake?"

Kitagawa Yu's eyes flickered. He had only intended to distract himself and temporarily relieve his frustration, but as he thought about it, his mind wandered.

"If... if being gentle can make you a playboy and have a harem, then... I guess I can too, right?"

Thinking about it this way, Kitagawa Yu's mood suddenly improved a lot.

Meanwhile, completely immersed in the song, oblivious to his changing expression and unaware of his thoughts, Tsukimi Eiko slowly opened her eyes again after the song ended, then asked with excitement and anticipation, "When are we going to upload and release these two songs?"

Kitagawa Yu stopped his random thoughts, picked up his phone to check the time, and then thought for a moment before saying, "Let's send it now!"

“We are just newcomers now, and we haven’t signed with any of the top talent agencies or music companies in the industry. This time, the song will only be released on Spotify, so we don’t need to worry about the Billboard charts or the release time.”

"Spotify's artist popularity rankings and single stream rankings are calculated on a monthly basis, so the earlier they are released, the better."

"Which road or how many!" Upon hearing this, Tsukimi Eiko, who had never known anything about these things before, suddenly realized, and while she was excited and expectant, she also felt a little nervous and worried.

after all.....

"Yu writes such good songs, if my grades aren't good, it must be because I didn't sing well. In that case... will Yu replace me?"

As a simple-minded and somewhat naive person, Tsukimi Eiko's thoughts were completely written on her face.

Her two little hands unconsciously rubbed the hem of her white apron, completely betraying her nervousness and worry. She looked like a pitiful puppy who had accidentally destroyed the house and was worried about being kicked out by its owner, making people want to hug her.

Then......

Kitagawa Yuhaku, he really just wanted to comfort Tsukimi Eiko with his smile and words, so that Tsukimi Eiko wouldn't worry or be nervous.

At most... maybe add a head pat! That's the most I can do!

But perhaps influenced by his previous wild thoughts, as he spoke, his body moved on its own, pulling Tsukimi Eiko directly into his arms!

Chapter 98 Early Awakening? You did a great job!

Eyes facing each other.

Their warm breaths mingled together.

The whole world seemed to suddenly freeze.

The air seemed to be coated with a faint pinkish hue, and it smelled like cherry blossoms.

At this moment, Tsukimi Eiko, who was a beat slow to understand the situation, quickly changed her astonishment into surprise, and then into deep shyness. Her heart was pounding and she became even more nervous.

"Ah, ah no—"

"Actually, Yingzi-chan, there's no need to be nervous or worried~"

In the end, Kitagawa Yu was the first to react. He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed a certain impulse, and said seriously, "We are newcomers, and we don't have an agency or music company to help us promote us yet. It's normal if our results aren't good... Anyway, no matter how good or bad the results are, I won't be angry, and I certainly won't abandon Eiko-chan!"

"I...I understand...I will always be with Yuu..." Tsukimi Eiko said softly, her face flushed.

That shy expression, paired with her revealing maid outfit, and the fact that they were alone in their home... it was practically a crime against humanity!

However, the impulse he had felt earlier had been suppressed, and Kitagawa Yu, who still had other people on his mind, really couldn't bring himself to eat Tsukimi Eiko without thinking about the consequences.

So he could only suppress his reluctance and pretend to be nonchalant as he said, "Then I'll go release the song first... It's getting late, Eiko-chan, why don't you go take a shower too?"

He released Tsukimi Eiko.

"Oh... well, I'll go take a shower now."

Eiko Tsukimi obediently followed Yu Kitagawa's advice.

Although she was somewhat disappointed that she couldn't take the next step and be "eaten" by Kitagawa Yu, Kitagawa Yu's unexpected initiative had already given her a pleasant surprise and confirmed that Kitagawa Yu liked her, so she didn't feel sad or upset.

This made Kitagawa Yu secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's probably impossible to achieve the same level of success as in my previous life right away, but the quality of these two songs speaks for itself, they can't be that bad, right?"

Back at his laptop, Kitagawa Yu forced himself to refocus on releasing songs.

Next, he filled in the relevant information for his work, clicked upload and publish, and then, while waiting for the review, took out his phone, opened Instagram, and started editing the tweet.

About five minutes later, both songs passed the review and appeared on his personal homepage.

He then added the address link to the previously edited Instagram tweet and clicked post.

The next second, everyone who had followed the 'White Sand Band' on Instagram and Spotify and had their follow notifications enabled received a message from the app.

"Huh? They really uploaded it so quickly?"

In a somewhat old but not dirty rental room, Momoka Kawaharaki, who was staring blankly at her phone, subconsciously glanced at the suddenly lit phone screen and then exclaimed in surprise.

Because it was a newly created account by Kitagawa Yu, and there was no content before, even though his concert at Shinjuku LOFT was very impressive, he only has 53 followers on Instagram and 57 followers on Spotify.

Among them, Momoka Kawahara and Satoshi Ebizuka, who were still debating whether to join the band Shirasa, saw the news immediately. They then skillfully liked the Instagram post and switched to Spotify to play it.

Then......

Even though Momoka Kawahara had just listened to the newly recorded version this morning and had some expectations, she was still shocked by the quality of the final versions of "Sunflower" and "Horizon".

Especially with "Horizon", Kitagawa Yu didn't hold back at all. He did the pitch corrections when necessary, and added reverb, which improved the final effect by at least double.

This made Momoka Kawaharaki, who was already somewhat inclined to stick to her own beliefs, waver in her resolve once again.

As for Ebizuka Satoshi, who was originally racking his brains in front of the computer to write a new song and had never heard "Himawari" and "Horizon" before, he was completely stunned when he heard these two songs.

It feels like going out for dinner with colleagues after get off work, assuming everyone is a broke office worker and planning to split the bill, only to have the other person suddenly pull out a black card and tell everyone that they are actually the company's behind-the-scenes boss, worth billions.

Originally, she had also decided to give up on joining the White Sand Band, but at this moment, her resolve wavered again, even more so than that of Momoka Kawaragi.

Because... with Kitagawa Yu's songwriting skills and Tsukimi Eiko's singing talent... it seems like they can succeed and make a lot of money without much hard work!
