There are so many geniuses in crossover anime! What's wrong with adding me?

"If we could get him to join, the band would definitely shine!"

“End the band…” Goto Ichiri’s mind conjured up the image of ribbons used to tie electrical wires, “Cable tie?”

“Hmm, that’s our band name…” Nijika Iji’s ahoge (cowlick) drooped, her expression inscrutable.

"Pfft! What a masterpiece!" Yamada Ryo covered his mouth and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"This pun is so obscure! We have to change the name!" Ijichi Nijika exclaimed excitedly, clutching her head and roaring.

"Why? Isn't it cute?" Yamada Ryo asked, puzzled.

“Yes.” Goto Ichiri nodded.

"Well, let's not talk about the team name for now. Since you were recruited by Mr. Talent, Ichiri-chan, your guitar skills must be pretty good, right?" She changed the subject.

"I...I think it's okay."

"Whoosh! How about we play it once first? Here's the sheet music, you can take a look."

She handed her a printed sheet of music, with some markings on it, indicating that some minor modifications had been made.

Goto Ichiri took the paper and glanced at it briefly. It wasn't too difficult; at this rate, he could get the hang of it quickly.

Yo-shi! She's determined to redeem herself here!

"How is it? Any problems?"

"No, no."

"That's good. We can use the spare guitar here. Let's get ready and begin?"

"Hi!"

……

ten minutes later,

After the three finished their performance, Ryo Yamada and Nijika Iji looked at each other in bewilderment.

Goto Ichiri strummed the strings with satisfaction, his heart leaping with joy, very pleased with his performance.

'Hehe~ How about that! I'm a somewhat—no, quite famous—guitar blogger online! I have over 20,000 followers!'

'They must be quite surprised by my playing now, right?'

“I’m so surprised,” Yamada Ryo said first.

"Hmm." Ichiji Nijika nodded in agreement, thinking to herself, 'You're the best guitarist ever!', before blurting out, "So bad!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I mixed up my true feelings and my words of comfort." Ichiji Nijika covered her mouth and apologized.

"Eh—!!" Goto Ichiri's face turned ashen, utterly shocked, and a mournful cry echoed in his heart:

'Why? I'm clearly a guitar hero! I have so many fans!'

Ryo Yamada and Nijika Iji were also very confused. Was this child really the person that Saiki Sakurakoji had seriously sought out?

Could it be that they just picked one up off the street and brought it over?

No, based on the description just now, it seems that's really the case... This guy Caihua/Mr. Caihua!

Deeply affected, Goto Ichiri collapsed to the ground, his body gradually turning gray.

'From then on, Ichiri Goto turned to ashes and never played the guitar again.'

"Ah, ah~ Ichiri-chan, come out of the cardboard box first, okay?" Ichichi Nijika tried her best to persuade her, "It's okay! I didn't play well either! Everyone is like this at the beginning!"

"Hmph, I play bass very well!" Yamada Ryo proudly puffed out his chest and raised his head.

"Haha, I'm so sorry for playing so badly! I'm so sorry for polluting your ears!"

"Anyway, please look at me first! Don't run away from reality~"

dong dong!

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the recording studio.

Without waiting for a response from inside, the door was opened, and a figure that all three of them recognized walked in.

"How's it going? Have you gotten to know each other pretty well?" Sakura Koji walked in from outside, carrying a tray.

"The store manager asked me to get you some drinks and snacks, so I came over."

“Mr. Talent!” Ichiji Nijika’s eyes were filled with emotion, as if she had seen a lifeline.

Yamada Ryo skipped over to his side, and without saying a word, picked up the drinks and desserts on the plate and started eating, then showed a happy expression.

"What's wrong?" Sakurakoji Sai asked, placing the tray on the large speaker and looking at Ichika Ichichi and Goto Ichiri, who were hiding in the cardboard box.

“It’s like this…” Ichiji Nijika recounted the whole story to him.

"Hmm, I see." Sakurakoji finally understood what had happened; it was pretty much what he had thought.

He rested his chin on his hand, thought for a few seconds, and clapped his hands: "Well, things have come to this, let's eat something first, and talk about this later."

"Slurp! Let's eat something first, Ichiri-chan? Mr. Caihua's cooking skills are excellent, you know?" Ichiri-chan gently persuaded, peeking into the box, and then slowly pulled her out.

He helped her sit up straight and personally brought her a glass of sparkling water and the most expensive dessert, the matcha parfait.

"Come on! Cheer up after you finish your dessert! No matter how grumpy Lena is, she always cheers up after eating a matcha parfait!"

"No, Ichiri isn't Rakuna." Yamada Ryo mumbled, sucking on pudding, and unusually made a sarcastic remark.

"They're all the same! Mr. Talent's desserts have a magical power to lift your spirits!"

To Goto Ichiri, their voices sounded as if muffled by a layer of water. He instinctively picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of the clear, green, sandy-textured dessert, and mechanically put it into his mouth.

Mmm, mmm... mmm!

Her eyes lit up instantly, and boundless power seemed to surge from her body. Golden flames seemed to envelop her entire body, and she stood up with great momentum, causing the surrounding air to vibrate and rustle!

"Wow! Ichiri has become Super Saiyan Ri!" Yamada Ryo exclaimed, clapping his hands in amazement.

Ignoring her stand-up comedy, Goto Ichiri's eyes welled up with tears as she looked at the matcha parfait in front of her with a moved expression: "W-what is this?"

"Matcha parfait, yay!" Ichiji Nijika proudly puffed out her small chest: "It's one of our shop's and Mr. Talent's signature desserts, isn't it delicious!"

"Mmm! I've never eaten such delicious snacks before!" Goto Ichiri gripped the spoon tightly, nodding vigorously with a wide expression.

"How about it? If you join our band, you can buy things at a low employee price every day while you're working here!" She leaned close to her ear, widened her eyes, and made the invitation without a trace of emotion.

"..."

"Why does this scene feel a little familiar? It seems like someone has done this before, right?" Sakurakoji Sai glanced at Yamada Ryo.

They truly are best friends; they even use the same tactics.

"I don't know, who came up with such an evil idea?" Yamada Ryo crossed his arms and looked at him in confusion.

Twenty seconds later, Yamada Ryo gave up, her face flushed, and continued eating.

Soon, the other two also made a move.

"Yay! Band over, four members achieved!" Ichiji Nijika spread her legs and happily made a victory sign. "Now all that's missing is the lead singer! We're one step closer to our goal of reaching the Budokan!"

"Congratulations!" As the only audience member, Sakurakoji Sai clapped enthusiastically, offering his blessings.

"Hehe~ Thank you." She scratched the back of her head sheepishly.

Once they had rested enough, Sakurakoji stood up and looked down at Goto Ichiri, who was still trying to clean the remaining parfait from the cup with a spoon.

"Yili-chan, did Hongxia and the others say you didn't play well?"

Goto Ichiri's delicate body trembled, and the spoon in her hand fell into the cup with a crisp sound. She sobbed, "Oh, oh, I'm sorry, I'm such a useless person..."

"No, no, I'm not trying to criticize you, I just find it strange."

"Strange?" she tilted her head in confusion.

"You seem like a very talented person to me, so how could you be so bad as they say? I'm a little curious," Sakurakoji Sai explained. "You did practice guitar diligently, right?"

"Ah, um, although it's only been three years, I practice for six hours every day and have also submitted videos online." She held her knee-length skirt with both hands and whispered with her head down.

It's really rare to see a skirt this length in Japanese high school uniforms. Sakurakoji stared at her gray-black long skirt with great interest—that's right, reaching the knees is already considered a "long skirt" in school uniforms.

"Eh?! That's amazing!" Ichiji Nijika exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey... but, I played really badly just now, which makes me wonder if I was just lucky before... or something."

“No, I don’t think so.” Sakurakoji Sai shook his head in denial, still reciting the script: “I think it’s just because you usually play alone, so when you suddenly play with others, you can’t keep up with the rhythm and your performance drops.”

"Ah, is that so?" She looked up timidly, still somewhat unsure of herself.

"Since Mr. Caihua has said so, then that must be the case, right?"

"Hmm, maybe that's true."

Ichika Niji and Ryo Yamada chimed in, while Ichiri Goto looked at them in surprise, not expecting them to have so much faith in him.

Especially Liang Sang, who was clearly a very confident (proud) person just now.

"Ichiri-chan, could you please play it by yourself right now? Just choose one you usually like," Sakurakoji Saitama suggested to her.

"Hey, I'll try my best!"

Having been given another chance, Goto Ichiri vigorously swayed back and forth, nodded, closed his eyes tightly, and desperately pounded his fists on his heart to encourage himself.

"A gorilla?" Yamada Ryo made that connection as he watched her gesture.

Despite this, the sight of the three people still terrified her. After bolstering her courage, she turned her back, knelt behind a cardboard box, and picked up her guitar, facing the wall.

“…XN

How did this child develop such an withdrawn and socially anxious personality?

The sound of strings rang out, and a few minutes later...

As she finished touching the strings, Goto Ichiri stood up, turned around, and asked hesitantly, "What do you guys think?"

Boom!

The moment she turned around, she was bumped into by Ichiji Nijika.

"Huh?!" She was a little confused.

"Ichiri-chan, Sogoichi!!" After the hug, Ichichi Nijika excitedly grabbed her hand, her expression incredibly excited!

"Mmm! It moved me!" Yamada Ryoya wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Huh? So that means..." Her disappointed and distressed gaze darted back and forth between them, trying to get further confirmation.

"It means your skills are excellent!" Sakurakoji's talent served as the answer, giving her a boost of confidence.

"So, what do you think? My judgment is pretty good, right? How's this teammate you guys got?"

"Fantastic! No wonder you're called Mr. Talent!"

"Nice, talented!"

"Oh, is that so? Really? You're not just trying to comfort me?!" Goto Ichiri's hope was rekindled.

"Red Bean, Red Bean! You're really something, Ichiri-chan! Your skills are just as good as a professional's!" Ichiji Nijika patted her on the shoulder happily. "But, that voice sounds so familiar..."

"Hehehe, it's not that good!" Goto Ichiri said happily, touching her head and feeling all soft and cuddly.

'She must be really happy, right?' 'She's totally smitten.' Yamada Ryo and Ichichi Nigatsu were exchanging glances that conveyed the same message.

"Yili-chan, you mentioned submitting your work online, right? What's your ID?"

With things having come to this point, Sakurakoji decided to unveil the final mystery and accelerate their careers.
