Crossover Anime: A Musical Anime - Lighthearted and Enjoyable

A beat too slow to react, Goto Ichiri looked at Shiraaki and Ryo in a panic.

The two looked back at her, as if to say, "What are you doing?"

"Ah...oh...oh..."

“You don’t have to force yourself to go to Yili…” Hongxia couldn’t help but advise.

Ichiji Nijika, Yamada Ryo, Goto Ichiri.

The three are practicing their first ensemble piece.

Because the piece that Nijika initially prepared did not include an electronic keyboard part.

In addition, Bai Qiu did not bring an electronic keyboard with her.

I'll have to trouble Bai Qiu to be an audience member for now.

...The song ended.

The three girls looked at each other.

Soon, under Nijika's subtle gaze, Yamada Ryo and Goto Ichiri were both defeated.

Ichiri lowered his head in shame, while Yamada Ryo pretended nothing was wrong and whistled.

Ichi Nijika shook her head helplessly and looked at the only audience member on the field, Shiraaki.

Hongxia asked with some difficulty, "Bai Qiu, what did you think of our performance just now?"

Bai Qiu hesitated, then blinked: "Are you sure you want to tell me?"

Ichi Nijika nodded as if she had made up her mind.

"It's absolutely terrible..."

Even Bai Qiu, a newcomer to the industry, could clearly see from the performance of the three that their coordination was far from ideal, and there was absolutely no chemistry between them.

Yamada Ryo seemed to have forgotten how to play bass, sweeping the pick wildly across the strings.

Goto Ichiri's movements looked quite professional and standardized.

However, she kept her head down the whole time, never glancing at her teammates, and naturally, the guitar music played by herself the entire time.

At first, Ichi Nijika was able to lead the drumming as well as normal, but under the influence of her two teammates, it became chaotic.

All in all, it’s hard to describe in one word.

Bai Qiu simply couldn't bear to deceive herself and say things against her conscience.

Ichiji Nijika forced a smile: "Ah, yes... that's true..."

"Bai Qiu, have you mixed up what you're saying with what you're thinking?"

Yamada Ryo looked at Bai Qiu with some lingering hope.

Her words rekindled hope for Goto Ichiri and Nijika.

"Absolutely not."

Bai Qiu affirmed.

The three girls sighed, looking somewhat disappointed.

Then they all turned their gaze to Bai Qiu, as if asking what to do.

Bai Qiu thought for a moment and comforted her, "Well, that's normal... After all, it's everyone's first time. As long as we practice playing together, we'll definitely improve."

Upon hearing this, the optimistic Hongxia perked up again and echoed:

"Yes, Bai Qiu is right. Also, Liang, isn't your bass playing a little strange?"

Hongxia recalled the strange sounds Liang had made while strumming the strings with the pick, and felt somewhat puzzled.

"Oh really? I think I played it pretty well."

"You haven't completely forgotten everything, have you?!"

Seeing that Liang was still being stubborn, Hongxia didn't hold back and called her out.

“It’s okay, the audience can’t hear the bass anyway.”

For the first time, Yamada Ryo felt that it was a good thing that the bass sound was being covered up.

Hongxia was taken aback. "That makes sense..."

Yamada Ryo said with a playful expression, "But the guitar is a different story."

"Oh, I'm so sorry! It's all my fault."

The sound came, but where were the people?

"Hey? Ichiri, where are you?"

“There,” Yamada Ryo pointed.

Bai Qiu moved the combustible trash can that was originally placed in the corner.

Goto Ichiri was squatting inside, his hands covering his head, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Ah!" Hongxia was startled.

"Yili, why did you run into the trash can? Come out quickly, the trash can is dirty."

"I'm sorry for making such a big mistake. Someone like me should really stay in the trash can."

"It's alright! We won't blame you, right? Bai Qiujun, Liang."

However, Ryo said, "Combustible trash? Pochi, you've put it in the wrong trash can. You should put it in this one."

Ryo Yamada brought over a non-recyclable waste bin.

Goto Ichiri made a strange appearance.

Hongxia was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

A thought flashed through Bai Qiu's mind: "Perhaps they're afraid that the burning of the porchi will release toxic gases?"

Upon hearing this, Goto Ichiri was petrified.

It actually climbed out of the combustible waste bin and was about to enter the non-recyclable waste bin.

Yamada Ryo clutched his stomach and burst into uncontrollable laughter.

"What are you two doing?! I asked you to comfort Yili, and what's with this 'Pochi' nickname?!"

Hongxia looked at the two acting silly and said angrily.

It's one thing to be cold, but how come Bai Qiujun has become so unreliable too!

"Don't put anything in the trash can again!"

Just as Goto Ichiri climbed out, Nijika quickly pinned him down. Then, to get justice for Ichiri, Nijika gave Ryo and Shiraaki a chop to the neck each.

Bai Qiu and Liang bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes.

Liang then added, "You, Hongxia, also asked why..."

Bai Qiu looked surprised. "You're still the brave one."

Hongxia blushed, then stopped Yamada Ryo from continuing with a look.

The white ball plays a cover shot.

"That's the nickname we just gave Bochi. It means 'one,' 'lonely,' or 'alone,' so we'll go with Bochi."

Yamada Ryo said smugly, "Isn't it great?"

"Great my foot, this looks like..."

Hongxia was just about to teach Yamada Ryo a lesson again, to teach her a lesson she would never forget.

"nickname?!"

Goto Ichiri stood up excitedly.

Wow, you look so happy!

Ichi Nijika swallowed back the puppy-like nickname.

“Look, even Pochi himself is very happy.”

Ryo Yamada became even more proud.

Ichiji Nijika was speechless. "Ichiri, didn't you have a nickname before?"

"I've been called 'Hey, you there,' that guy..."

These aren't nicknames, poor kid.

Ichika hugged Goto Ichiri with heartache.

"Pochi-chan..."

So the four of them started fooling around.

They only practiced playing together once.

And so began their first performance on stage.

Because she was too afraid to face the audience, Yamada Ryo found Goto Ichiri a box of mangoes and had her hide inside.

Goto Ichiri was quite satisfied, hiding inside as if he were practicing at home.

As soon as they stepped on stage, the extra and conspicuous box of mangoes attracted the audience's attention.

"what is that?"

"cosplay?"

"Hey, hey, this isn't some kind of anime/manga!"

"I know, it's a new type of speaker!"...

The audience below the stage were discussing it with great interest.

Suddenly, Ijichi Hoshika appeared, arms crossed over her chest.

"Strange, why is my mango box on top?"

Where are the mangoes inside?

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiu immediately pretended not to have heard anything and moved away from Yi Ji Zhi Xing Ge.

After glancing at Ichika Hoshika and seeing that she hadn't come over...

Bai Qiu finally felt relieved, then took out her phone to record her first experience of ending the band.

As for the mangoes, they were naturally taken by her and Yamada Ryo to fill their stomachs.

Ijichi Hoshika looked at Bai Qiu strangely. Was she really that scary?

Pshaw, he was just a little fierce this afternoon.

She's clearly a great beauty, isn't she?

She even wanted to treat Bai Qiu to a 500 yen drink as a thank you for bringing Hong Xia back.

Oh well, I won't see him tomorrow anyway.

The performance is about to begin.

Neither Yamada Ryo nor Goto Ichiri are good at talking.

So, the warm-up and self-introduction before the performance were left to Hongxia.

"Um, we are..."

Hongxia got stuck.

She then realized that the group had been fooling around in the practice room.

This led them to forget to discuss even the most important thing—the band's name!

“Ahahahaha…!”

The audience members who saw this burst into laughter, but there was no mockery in their voices.

This is actually a common occurrence.
