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

……

……

That evening, in Kyoto.

BlackRock Law Firm Headquarters.

The headquarters of the Kuroiwa Law Firm is located in a building that combines traditional and modern elements, with the president Yoshitaka Kuroiwa's office on the top floor.

Ken Sakaguchi took the express train back from Tokyo.

He stood in front of the office door, took a deep breath, and knocked.

"Please come in," a steady voice came from inside.

Ken Sakaguchi pushed open the door and entered.

The office was large, decorated in a simple and elegant style. Yoshitaka Kuroiwa sat behind a solid wood desk, reviewing documents.

"Sakaguchi?" Yoshitaka Kuroiwa looked up, surprised. "What's wrong so late?"

Ken Sakaguchi walked to the desk and bowed deeply.

"President, I want to resign."

Yoshitaka Kuroiwa's hand froze in mid-air.

He put the document down and looked at Ken Sakaguchi carefully.

"Why?" he asked, sounding somewhat surprised. "Are you dissatisfied with your salary and benefits? Or have other law firms tried to poach you?"

“No.” Ken Sakaguchi shook his head, his tone respectful but firm. “I want to become Seiji Fujiwara’s full-time lawyer.”

Yoshitaka Kuroiwa's eyes widened instantly.

"Fujiwara-sensei!?"

"Yes!"

Yoshitaka Kuroiwa fell silent.

for a long time.

“Sakaguchi…” he suddenly laughed, “You’ve risen to the top in one step.”

Ken Sakaguchi smiled modestly: "It's all because of Fujiwara-sensei's high regard for me."

"Professor Fujiwara is remarkable; young, talented, and decisive." Yoshitaka Kuroiwa smiled meaningfully: "The recent incident at Toto Medical Center has probably caused quite a stir."

Ken Sakaguchi smiled without saying a word.

Yoshitaka Kuroiwa said, "Then go ahead. I've accepted your resignation letter."

Ken Sakaguchi was somewhat surprised: "President, you...aren't you angry?"

"Why are you angry?" Yoshitaka Kuroiwa laughed. "Follow Fujiwara-sensei closely, and if there's an opportunity to collaborate in the future, don't forget your old employer."

Ken Sakaguchi bowed deeply and said, “President, I will never forget the training that Kuroiwa Law Firm has given me. I will do my best to cooperate if needed in the future.”

Ken Sakaguchi has officially resigned from Kuroiwa Law Firm.

……

……

the same day.

Tokyo, Shimokitazawa High School.

Yamada Ryo, carrying his bass guitar and backpack, walked along the stone path leading to the school building.

The surrounding students all turned to look.

"That's... Yamada-kun?"

"She's been on leave for a long time."

"Yes, and it feels like things have changed?"

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Thanks to the amazing "King of Golden Nightmares" for the monthly pass! (I'm at a loss.)

Chapter Ninety: Fujiwara Seiji, that scumbag! (2/2)

There was constant whispering.

Yamada Ryo heard it, but she didn't pay any attention to it.

He walked quietly, a faint smile on his lips. Such a smile would never have been seen before.

Entering the classroom, Yamada Ryo sat down in his seat.

Several familiar classmates immediately gathered around.

"Liang! You're finally back!" a short-haired girl exclaimed excitedly.

"Liang, are you alright?" another girl asked with concern. "We heard that your family..."

Yamada Ryo shook his head slightly and said calmly, "Some things happened, but they've all been resolved now."

"Really?!"

"Great!"

The students breathed a sigh of relief, and genuine smiles appeared on their faces.

"Liang, you look much better!" the short-haired girl said.

"Yeah! You seem like a completely different person!"

“Yeah… how should I put it…” another girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, “It feels like you… have come back to life?”

Yamada Ryo smiled without saying a word.

She came back to life...

That's absolutely true.

……

……

Noon, on the school rooftop.

Students are allowed to access the rooftop of Shimokitazawa, which offers a panoramic view overlooking the entire campus.

Ryo Yamada and Nyanka sat side by side on a bench on the rooftop, eating their bento boxes.

Nijika brought her homemade fried chicken bento today, while Yamada Ryo brought a deluxe bento from a ryotei restaurant.

cold……

Hongxia, while biting into her fried chicken, secretly glanced at Yamada Ryo.

I recall Yamada Ryo's recovery method—relying on that rich teacher Fujiwara who had several women.

Her feelings were somewhat complicated.

As a friend, she was naturally happy for Yamada Ryo—at least the debt was resolved and the hospital was returned.

But as an ordinary high school girl, she felt... that this solution was simply indescribable.

Hongxia sighed.

Forget it.

She's not the type of person who likes to overthink things.

As long as Liang is truly willing, that's enough.

"Oh, right! '077,' Hongxia suddenly remembered something and asked, 'Are we going to practice at STARRY after school today?'"

“Okay,” Yamada Ryo nodded. “I still have to work.”

Eh?

Hongxia was stunned for a moment. She had to work?

Fujiwara-sensei is so rich, how come he's unwilling to give you living expenses?

Yamada Ryo, however, said in a serious tone, "I am a loyal employee of STARRY."

“Uh…” Hongxia hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

Given Yamada Ryo's current situation, he shouldn't be short of money, right?

Yamada Ryo noticed her confusion and smiled gently: "Nijika, I don't plan to change my past lifestyle."

"Eh?"

Working, practicing, and playing music with you guys...

Yamada Ryo looked at the sky with a gentle smile; she felt that this kind of life was quite good.

"Really? That's great!" Hongxia smiled happily.

She was worried that she and Liang would drift apart, but she never expected that they could continue to be good friends.

……

……

evening.

"Ryo, let's go!" Hongxia, carrying her drumstick bag, ran excitedly to Yamada Ryo's side.

"Okay." Yamada Ryo nodded and stuffed the textbook into his bag.

The two walked out of the school gate side by side, heading towards the station.

"It's been so long since we went to Starry together!" Hongxia skipped along, "My sister will be so surprised! She thought you weren't coming!"

Yamada Ryo nodded, a faint smile playing on his lips.

The two will arrive at STARRY's LiveHouse soon.

open the door.

The store was lit by only a few dim lights. Behind the bar, Ijichi Hoshika was organizing the ledgers, while Ms. PA was sitting and playing on her phone.

"Sister, I'm here—" Hongxia greeted as usual.

"Yes, welcome back..." Xingge replied without looking up, continuing to write something.

at this time--

"Manager, PA-san, good evening."

A familiar voice sounded.

Xingge stopped writing.

Ms. PA also put down her phone.

The two looked up almost simultaneously, staring in astonishment at the doorway.

Ryo Yamada stood there, carrying his bass bag, his expression calm, just like every day before.

"Cool...cool?!" Xingge stood up in surprise.

Ms. PA's eyes widened as well.

"I'm back." Yamada Ryo nodded slightly, as if nothing had happened, and calmly walked towards the practice room.

"I'll go put my things away first," she said, pushing open the door to the practice room and going inside.

Xingge and Ms. PA exchanged a glance, their faces showing disbelief.

"Hongxia—" Xingge rushed over immediately and grabbed her sister's arm. "What happened? Why did Liang suddenly come?"

Miss PA also walked over quickly, her face full of curiosity: "Yes, yes! I thought she..."

Hongxia stumbled as her sister pulled her, a helpless expression on her face.

"Well... things with Liang have been resolved for now, so I'll be back soon," Hongxia said vaguely.
