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

"So, do you like Kitagawa-kun or not?" Narumi Moe suddenly asked.

Then... Narumi Sena was stunned for a moment because she never expected her younger sister to ask such a question. Then a blush appeared on her cheeks and her eyes became evasive.

"Why would you suddenly ask such a question...?"

"Because if you like him, you should hurry up and win him over, so you can get him to write songs for you, and then you won't have to debut with that Nakamura guy anymore. You can debut solo, or even debut as a singer, right?"

After hearing this, Narumi Seina couldn't help but pause in surprise again.

Then, for the first time ever, he frowned and put on a stern face towards Mengnai.

"No, you can't, Mengnai!"

"You can't put that much effort into liking someone!"

"Although I do... I do have a strong liking for Kitagawa-kun and admire his talent, it's not because of his talent that I have feelings for him... at least not entirely..."

"In short, girls shouldn't pursue boys for the sake of such skills, otherwise they'll be no different from those prostitutes who sell themselves for money!"

Chapter 103 Beichuan...Master! ?

"Okay, okay, I got it~"

Narumi Mona didn't feel angry at being lectured by her older sister at all. Instead, she felt a sense of relief, like, "Great, this girl isn't so weak after all."

"But I really like it—"

"I just have a crush on her!"

"Alright, alright, if you really have feelings for someone, then don't hesitate, act quickly, or someone else will beat you to it! Like Kitagawa-kun—"

"Mona should call Kitagawa-senpai."

"...I might as well just call him Lord Kitagawa! Anyway, a guy as handsome and talented as Lord Kitagawa, who seems to have a great personality, must have a lot of girls like him, right? If you don't act fast, someone else might beat you to it, okay?"

"..."

Narumi Sena's carefully maintained serious expression instantly crumbled, and images of Himegami Karen, Yanami Anna, and even Shiina Mahiru involuntarily flashed through her mind.

Then... the final image focuses on Himegami Karen, who seems to be the closest to Kitagawa Yu.

"Mengnai is right..."

"Hime-kun always goes to chat with Kitagawa-kun during breaks, and their relationship seems to be getting closer and closer. If I don't act quickly, I'm afraid I'll really miss my chance."

"But... precisely because of this... what if... Kitagawa-kun already has feelings for Himegami-san?"

"At a time like this, would it be inappropriate for me to take the initiative...?"

On the surface, Narumi Sena agreed with Moe Nai's advice, but in her heart, she was still struggling with this issue even after she finished showering and returned to her room.

However, what she didn't know was that Himegami Karen, whom she felt was closest to Kitagawa Yu and who might even have won Kitagawa Yu's favor, was not particularly happy at this moment.

......

......

"...A clear blue sky allows flowers to bloom, and all flowers open only because of the sunshine..."

On her way to school the next morning, Kitagawa Yu looked up at the sky above and the increasingly familiar scenery on both sides of the street. For some reason, she suddenly thought of the lyrics to "Sunset" from the opening theme of "Funeral of Frilian" and unconsciously started humming them.

Perhaps it's because the success of the songs "Sunflower" and "Horizon" exceeded his expectations—by the time he left home this morning, his Instagram followers had risen to 116, and his Spotify listener count had increased more than tenfold to 782.

Meanwhile, the two songs have been played more than 4300 times and more than 6000 times respectively, with each person listening to them an average of six or seven times.

He also won against Eiko Tsukimi somewhat unfairly, thanks to the superior quality of "Horizon".

Alternatively, it's also possible that... this morning, Tsukimi Eiko finally adjusted her biological clock to the point where she woke up less than five minutes later than him and had breakfast together!

......

......

"Ohayo!" ×4

As usual, Kitagawa Yu greeted the sunlight streaming in through the window, stepped onto the faded wooden floor, and walked into the classroom to the 'good morning' greetings from Hanami Anna and Yakishiro Lemon.

Unlike before, today, as soon as he replied with "Ohayo," everyone in the classroom turned to look at him.

That's right. After Hachimi Anzu posted that message on her WeChat Moments last night, the news about him forming a band and releasing songs went through a second round of face-to-face communication and discussion this morning, and now the whole class knows about it.

Even Wen Shuihe, an outsider, learned about this because he overheard the discussion between the two girls at the table in front of him.

This caused Kitagawa Yu, who was unaware of the inside story and had suddenly become a star in the class, to catch her breath and tense up.

"what's the situation?"

"Recently... besides forming the light music club, I think I've only released those two songs, right?"

"But it's only been one night, and they already know?"

"It's one thing for others to look at me, but why are you, Wen Shui, an outsider, looking at me too? You don't know about it either, do you?"

The quick-witted Kitagawa Yu instantly guessed the truth of the matter, but he couldn't guess the process, so he found the exaggerated speed of the news spread somewhat unbelievable.

However, even under the influence of everyone's 'Abyss Gaze', his keen hearing still detected that when someone said good morning to him earlier, the emotion revealed in their voice was obviously somewhat low.

However, to his surprise, this person was not the eccentric and emotionally volatile Anna Hachimi, but... Karen Himegami.

"Huh? It's Himegami-san? This is the first time I've seen her so down since I've known her."

Kitagawa Yu's eyes first flashed with surprise, and then he vaguely realized something was wrong from the reactions of the whole class.

"Could it be... that she's feeling so down because of me??"

Suddenly, Kitagawa Yu's steps toward his seat became heavy.

Then, when he arrived at his seat, put down his bag, and sat down, Himegami Karen's reaction further confirmed his guess—Hanami Anna and Yakishiro Lemon were both excitedly talking to him.

Only Himegami Karen, who had always been the most proactive, remained seated, silent.

"Hey! Kitagawa-kun! Those two songs you wrote are so good! Especially 'Sunflower,' I listened to it on repeat more than ten times last night, and I even fell asleep without realizing it!"

"Hey, thank you for your support, Shaoshi-kun... But how did you all know?"

"Of course it's because of what I posted on my WeChat Moments~" Seeing Anja leaning closer with a proud and smug look on her face, Bana winked and asked with a grin, "Yu, did you make anything delicious this morning?"

“I had breakfast at home this morning, so I only have four hash browns left.”

"Eh? It's just potato pancakes..." Yana saw that Anja was a little disappointed.

"My hash browns are different from the ones sold outside, okay? They have a unique recipe and taste much better than the ones sold outside."

Kitagawa Yu took out a thermos of potato cakes from his bag, and then... after a brief moment of hesitation, he gave it to Himegami Karen first.

"Would you like to try some, Himegami-san?"

"Eh? Me?"

While Himegami Karen didn't appear to be looking this way, she was actually constantly glancing at Kitagawa Yuu, who was sandwiched between Banami Anna and Roasted Salt Lemon, out of the corner of her eye.

So upon hearing Kitagawa Yu's voice, she immediately turned her head and locked her gaze into Kitagawa Yu's eyes, then looked down at the steaming, fragrant potato pancakes in Kitagawa Yu's hands.

Her originally dim eyes widened in surprise for a moment, then burst forth with joy and delight.

"want!"

Before she could finish speaking, Himegami Karen had already reached out and 'snatched' the potato pancake from Kitagawa Yu's hand, and a smile returned to her face.

This made Kitagawa Yu secretly breathe a sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing that simple girls are indeed easier to coax.

"Hakamada-kun and Yashio-kun, please try some too, don't be shy."

Next, after Hakamada Sosuke and Yashio Lemon also received their potato cakes, Kitagawa Yu handed the last potato cake to Hanami Anna, who had been eagerly waiting and swallowing her saliva.

Unlike ordinary hash browns, his hash browns not only contain cheese and bacon, but also a secret ingredient—salted egg yolks—making them taste much better than regular hash browns.

So it wasn't just Anana Hachimi who took a bite and looked completely blissful; even Sosuke Hakamada couldn't help but show expressions of surprise after taking a bite.

Then, to Kitagawa Yu's surprise...

Just as Hanami Anana was about to take her second bite, she suddenly remembered something and said, "If that's the case, Yuu won't have anything to eat, right? Or... or I'll break it in half and share it with you!"

As Anna spoke, she put down the potato pancake that was already being offered to her mouth, grabbed it with both hands, and intended to break it in half and give one half to Yu Kitagawa.

However, at that moment, Karen Himegami also reacted and preemptively fed Kitagawa Yu the potato pancake she had already eaten three bites of—half of it was gone.

"No need, Yu, you can have mine!"

Chapter 104 A Good Guy Card? Kasuga Kage!

"..."

Kitagawa Yu subconsciously glanced quickly at Yanami Anna out of the corner of her eye.

After noticing that the smile on Anna's lips, which were stained with a little oil and breadcrumbs, seemed to have frozen, he didn't know whether to be happy or depressed.

However, in order to avoid the collapse of the persona he had specially created, which was that he was "lacking in boundaries when it comes to eating and holding hands".

After hesitating for a moment, he finally suppressed his guilt and, under Himegami Karen's expectant gaze, took a bite, achieving his first indirect kiss with Himegami Karen in the new week. Then, he naturally reached out and took the rest of the hash brown from Himegami Karen's hand.

"This guy is so oblivious! This is practically an indirect kiss!!!" Anna couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Then, after she finished muttering to herself, she realized that the closer and more ambiguous Kitagawa Yuu and Himegami Karen were, the better it would be for Hakamada Sosuke.

Therefore, she should be happy and give it her full support.

But......

Why do I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable...?

Fortunately, the school bell rang at that moment, interrupting her random thoughts.

Kitagawa Yu, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

"Why didn't Yu tell me that he had already formed a band and released songs?!"

"I'm angry.jpg"

It's obvious from the content that these two messages were sent by Himegami Karen.

So how should he answer this direct and crucial question?

"Oh, right?"
