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

She recalled Fujiwara Seiji's interest in Nijika, and realized that Nijika might really have to "give her a lot of guidance" in the future.

Just then, Xingge suddenly remembered something.

She looked at the playlist on Yamada Ryo's phone. "Ryo, you said 'Unravel' was also written by Fujiwara-sensei?"

“Yes.” Yamada Ryo nodded. “That was written especially for me by Seiji.”

"Then..." Xingge hesitated for a moment, "Is the arrangement finished?"

A faint smile appeared on Yamada Ryo's lips.

“It’s finished,” she said calmly. “If you’re interested, we can play together now.”

"Really?!" Hongxia immediately perked up, her eyes sparkling. "It's cool! I want to try it!"

Ms. PA nodded, "I'd also like to hear the full version."

Xingge opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

Actually, she really wanted to try it too.

She was very curious when Hongxia came back and talked about "unravel".

but……

She has a somewhat proud and aloof personality, and is too shy to say it directly.

"Sister?" Hongxia looked at her. "Sister, why don't you join us? You can sing the lead vocals!"

“I…” Xingge hesitated.

"Sister~" Hongxia began to whine, pulling and shaking Xingge's arm, "Sister is the best~ Sister is the most amazing~ Sister's voice is the most beautiful~"

"Okay, okay!" Xingge's face turned a little red. "Stop shaking me, I... I promise..."

"Yay!" Hongxia jumped up with joy.

Ms. PA smiled: "Then I'll play the keyboard."

Yamada Ryo nodded: "Then... I'll play bass, Nijika will be the drummer, Ms. PA will be the keyboardist, and Ms. Hoshika will be the guitarist and vocalist."

She paused for a moment, then said, "I'll send you the arrangement first."

Ryo Yamada skillfully used his phone to send the complete arrangement of "unravel" to a group chat.

Xingge, Ms. PA, and Hongxia's phones rang at the same time.

They opened the file.

The complete score is displayed on the screen.

Guitar tabs, bass tabs, drum tabs, keyboard tabs... every part is clearly marked.

Xingge stared intently at the guitar tablature, her eyes widening in disbelief.

"This arrangement..." she murmured to herself, "is so complex, yet so ingenious..."

Ms. PA was also looking at the keyboard tablature: "This chord progression is very interesting."

Looking at the drum score, Hongxia exclaimed excitedly, "The rhythm feels so explosive!"

“Let’s familiarize ourselves with the score first,” Yamada Ryo said. “We’ll try it in ten minutes.”

"good!"

The three of them immediately immersed themselves in studying the score.

……

……

ten minutes later.

"Are you ready?" Yamada Ryo asked.

“OK!” Hongxia sat in front of the drum, eager to try.

“Anytime is fine.” Ms. PA sat down at the keyboard, her fingers on the keys.

Xingge, holding her guitar, took a deep breath: "Let's go."

Yamada Ryo nodded and picked up his bass.

“Then let’s get started.”

She looked at everyone and counted the beats:

"One, two, three, four—"

The sound of keyboard clicks came first.

A low, slightly eerie chord.

Then comes the bass.

Ryo Yamada's fingers danced across the strings, and the deep, resonant sound filled the entire practice room.

Immediately afterwards——

"Thump, thump, thump—"

Rainbow Summer's drumbeats are added.

The rhythm is strong and powerful, full of explosive energy.

Finally, Xingge's guitar music began.

Its sharp, tearing tone blends perfectly with other instruments.

The intro has ended.

Xingge took a deep breath, opened her mouth, and sang the first line—

"Teaching the teachings of teachings"

(Tell me, tell me that mechanism)

"PUの中にWho がいるの"

(Who is it in my heart?)

Her voice was slightly hoarse, but full of emotion.

Rainbow Summer's drumbeats became even more intense.

Ms. PA's keyboard sounds have also become more complex.

Ryo Yamada's bass playing was like a heartbeat, resonating in everyone's hearts.

The Star Song continues—

"壊れた壊れたよこの世界で"

(It's broken, it's broken in this world!)

"君が笑う何も见えずに"

(You're smiling, so I can't see anything)

The chorus is coming.

Xingge's voice suddenly burst forth—

"壊れたPUなんてさ"

(A broken being like me)

"rest and stop"

(Hold your breath)

"ほどけないもうほどけないよ"

(It's unsolvable, it's unsolvable)

"真実さえfreeze"

(Even the truth has been frozen)

The four performers played in perfect harmony at that moment.

Drums, bass, keyboards, guitar...

Every part was just right.

Xingge's singing voice perfectly expressed the emotions of this song.

That distortion, that pain, that struggle...

Everything was incorporated into the music.

Xingge was completely absorbed in it, forgetting everything around her.

finally--

The song is coming to an end.

Stars sang the last line—

"Frozen りついたtimeの中で"

(During the frozen time)

"君だけが笑ってた"

(Only you are smiling)

The sound fades away.

The sounds of the musical instruments gradually faded away.

In the end, only the lingering sound of the keyboard remained.

Everything fell silent.

The practice room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

All four of them remained seated in the posture of having finished their performance, staring blankly.

After several seconds——

"Aaaaaah—!" Hongxia suddenly screamed, "That's amazing! That's amazing!"

She was so excited that she was incoherent.

Ms. PA smiled and adjusted her glasses: "The cooperation was...surprisingly good."

Xingge put down his guitar and slumped into a chair.

Her forehead was covered in sweat.

But on his face, a long-lost, satisfied smile appeared.

“This song…” she murmured to herself, “is really amazing…”

Miss PA laughed: "Xingge, are you finding that feeling from back then?"

"Hmm..." Xingge nodded, a hint of nostalgia flashing in her eyes, "It's been so long since I've sung so freely."

Then a hint of regret appeared on his face, "Unfortunately, my voice isn't a good match for this song."

"Huh?" Hongxia was stunned for a moment. "What are you talking about, sister? It sounds so good!"

“It’s not a matter of whether it sounds good or bad,” Xingge shook her head, “it’s a matter of compatibility.”

She looked at Yamada Ryo: "Ryo, this song... it should be sung by a male voice, right?"

Yamada Ryo nodded: "Yes. When Seiji was creating, he was definitely thinking about male voices."

“That’s it.” Xingge sighed. “Although my voice is on the lower end, it’s still a female voice after all. I always feel like something’s missing when I sing this song.”

She paused for a moment, then added, "If we could find a suitable male singer to sing this song, it would definitely be even better."

Ryoya Yamada interjected, "There are many songs in the music library, and there are definitely some suitable for Miss Hoshika."

Xingge was stunned for a moment.

Ryo Yamada continued, "Seiji has written many songs in different styles. Some are suitable for male voices, and some are suitable for female voices."
