Crossover Anime: The Heroine is in Trouble? I Take Advantage of the Situation

Hongxia took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound calm, and asked tactfully:

"I suddenly remembered... It's so late, is Fujiwara-kun still at your house?"

Silence fell on the other end of the phone.

Liang hadn't said anything yet.

Hongxia panicked first and hurriedly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "What I mean is, it's so late, should I take him to the station, otherwise he'll miss the last train!"

"Pfft!"

In response to her was Yamada Ryo's laughter, as if he had heard something amusing.

"Cool!?" Hongxia was immediately annoyed, although she didn't know why she was angry.

But I'm just inexplicably angry!

“Nijika, this is rock and roll,” Yamada Ryo replied with a hint of amusement in his voice.

After saying that, the phone was abruptly hung up.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

Hongxia froze on the spot as she listened to the busy tone coming from her phone.

Is this what rock and roll is?

What?!

The spirit of rock and roll is smoking, drinking, and womanizing—just kidding, don't take it seriously!

Anger, shame, absurdity, disbelief...

Countless complex emotions intertwined in her chest, and finally, they all transformed into a surge of scorching blood energy that rushed straight to the top of her head.

Her face flushed bright red, as if it were about to bleed.

……

……

for a long time.

Hongxia returned home.

"You're back? How did you do? Did you see Ryo?" Her older sister, Ijichi Hoshika, asked with concern when she saw Ryo looking so distraught.

"Hmm, all is fine..." Hongxia nodded perfunctorily.

"Is she alright? What exactly happened?" Xingge pressed for an answer.

"fine."

After uttering those two words, Hongxia locked herself in her room.

No matter how much her sister knocked on the door and asked, there was no response.

Chapter 85 Reclaiming the Yamada Family Hospital! (1/2)

-

Yamada's home.

Yamada Ryo hung up the phone without any expression.

Seiji Fujiwara was leaning back on the sofa, looking at her with amusement: "So, is that alright?"

"no problem."

Yamada Ryo walked up to him and calmly said, "Nijika is a smart person, she'll figure it out herself. Besides, what I said is true."

Seiji Fujiwara couldn't help but laugh out loud at her serious-looking nonsense.

Yamada Ryo ignored his laughter and sat down next to Fujiwara Seiji, his blue eyes burning with a thirst for knowledge as he stared intently at him.

"Seiji!"

"what happened?"

"Your knowledge of music... and that song just now... what exactly happened?" Yamada Ryo asked with a burning gaze.

She could not forget the shock she had just experienced.

The feeling was like that of a hermit who had devoted his life to theological studies suddenly witnessing a miracle.

"Your fingers show no signs of practice, yet they can unleash that level of skill in an instant... Why?"

"Want to know?" Seiji Fujiwara's lips curled into a mysterious smile.

"I want to." Yamada Ryo nodded emphatically immediately.

“It’s simple,” Seiji Fujiwara said, reaching out and gently stroking her cheek, in a matter-of-fact tone, “because I’m a genius.”

This answer makes absolutely no sense.

But when he said it, it sounded so... natural.

Yamada Ryo stared at him blankly, let out a long sigh, and looked at him with admiration and envy.

"Yes... How could I forget? You're a genius." She murmured to herself, remembering that the man in front of her was the youngest winner of the Ranpo Prize and the Naoki Prize in Japanese history.

There was a pause.

“That song… that song ‘Unravel’!” Yamada Ryo looked at Fujiwara Seiji expectantly, his breathing becoming a little rapid. “Since you told Nijika that it was the ‘077’ song that we ‘collaborated’ on, then let it be a fact!”

Those blue eyes were filled with an unprecedented longing and pleading.

"Please give it to me! Let me perfect its arrangement!"

"Okay." Seiji Fujiwara agreed without hesitation.

He casually took out a sheet of musical notation paper and a pen from under the coffee table and wrote down the main melody and lyrics of "Unravel" from memory.

Yamada Ryo solemnly extended both hands and, with an almost inviting gesture, accepted the sheet music with utmost seriousness.

The paper felt incredibly heavy in her hands.

She didn't even glance at Seiji Fujiwara again before getting up and enthusiastically walking into the music room.

……

Silence returned to the living room.

Seiji Fujiwara smiled, opened his laptop, and began to learn about Genesis's work.

He opened his email, which contained a work report sent by his subordinate.

[Latest updates from the Puella Magi Madoka Magica project team]

The report was very detailed, covering everything from budget approval to recruitment, and everything was proceeding smoothly.

General Director: Akira Saeki

[Series Composition/Screenplay: Koichi Takayama]

[Original character draft: Morinaga Mina]

[Chief Script Assistance: Kasumigaoka Utaha]

[Character Design/Chief Animation Director Assistance: Eriri Sawamura]

"very good."

Seiji Fujiwara leaned back on the sofa.

One person was responsible for the text, and the other for the visuals.

He felt relieved.

……

……

At six o'clock in the morning, Yamada Ryo turned off his computer.

The image freezes on the last frame of the waveform from the audio editing software.

She took off her headphones, rubbed her sore eyes, and let out a long breath.

finished.

The complete arrangement of "unravel" is finally finished.

She pressed play, closed her eyes, and let the music fill the room.

The guitar sounds sharp, the drumbeats are steady and powerful, the bass lines surge in the shadows, and the layered harmonies push the emotions to their peak—this is her most complete work to date.

No, it should be said that this was a work she never thought she could complete.

The main melody was provided by Seiji Fujiwara, but the arrangement, instrumentation, and mixing—every detail reflects her hard work.

As she listened to the music, a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

But that smile lasted for less than three seconds.

Her gaze fell on the photo on the corner of the table—a family photo of the three of them in front of the hospital when her parents were still alive.

"Dad, Mom..." she murmured softly.

The fire a year ago not only took the lives of the parents, but also destroyed the family's future.

The hospital was forcibly auctioned off and turned into a branch of another hospital.

The sign for Yamada Hospital has been removed and will soon be replaced by the sign for Toto Medical Center No. 7.

For her, it was a mountain looming over her heart.

Yamada Ryo shook his head with a wry smile and turned his gaze to the window.

It's daybreak.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

dong dong dong.

"Liang, you're still awake?" It was Seiji Fujiwara's voice.

Yamada Ryo paused for a moment, then quickly wiped his eyes and composed himself: "Yeah, I stayed up a little all night."

The door was pushed open.

Seiji Fujiwara walked in carrying two cups of hot coffee. He frowned slightly when he saw Ryo Yamada's face, which clearly showed he had stayed up all night.

"You didn't sleep all night?"

“I’m used to it.” Yamada Ryo took the coffee, took a sip, and the bitter taste made her senses a little clearer. “It’s often like this when I’m making music.”

Seiji Fujiwara sat down next to her, his gaze fixed on the computer screen: "Is the arrangement finished?"

"

"Hmm." Yamada Ryo nodded. "Want to hear it?"

"of course."

She put the headphones back on, handed a pair to Seiji Fujiwara, and then clicked play again.

Three minutes later.

Seiji Fujiwara took off his headphones, a look of admiration on his face.

"The level of completion is very high." He said earnestly, "Liang, you're a genius!"

This compliment made Yamada Ryo's lips unconsciously curl into a smile.

But that smile only lasted a very short time.

Seiji Fujiwara noticed her unusual behavior and followed her gaze to the yellowed photograph on the corner of the table.

"What's wrong?" he asked gently.

Yamada Ryo was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of my parents' hospital... That building has now been forcibly acquired by a medical group and turned into their branch. Every time I pass by there, I see the Yamada Hospital sign has been torn down and replaced with someone else's name..."

She took a deep breath, trying to suppress the emotions welling up inside her.

"I feel like the last trace my parents left behind has been erased."
