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

She looked at Xingge with a serious expression: "If Miss Xingge is willing... she can also join Genesis Music. I guarantee that I will be able to find the most suitable song for you."

Xingge paused for a moment.

Hongxia immediately perked up: "Yeah! Sister! You should join us! That way we can play music together!"

Ms. PA smiled and said, "That's a good suggestion, Xingge."

Xingge remained silent for a moment, then shook her head.

“Thank you for your kind offer, Yamada.” She smiled, her tone gentle but firm, “However… I won’t be joining.”

"Huh? Why?" Hongxia asked, puzzled.

Xingge looked at her younger sister, her eyes softening: "My sister's band has ended."

Hongxia's expression darkened: "Sister..."

“That’s all in the past,” Xingge continued. “Now, my focus is on STARRYLiveHouse.”

She looked around, her eyes filled with tenderness.

“But…” Hongxia wanted to say something more.

“Occasionally, like today, just playing music and having some fun is enough,” Xingge interrupted her, her smile still gentle.

Hongxia was still a little disappointed, but she didn't say anything more.

Yamada Ryo added, "Although the store manager doesn't want to join the company, if it's just as a contracted singer... that should be fine, right?"

Miss PA immediately looked at Xingge: "Xingge?"

Xingge was a little tempted.

Who wouldn't want to sing such great songs?

but……

She has a somewhat proud and aloof personality, and is too embarrassed to agree directly.

“Well…” she hesitated, “we’ll talk about it later.”

"Hey—" Ms. PA drawled, "Star Song, you really wanted to sing this, didn't you?"

"No, no!" Xingge's face turned even redder.

Hongxia laughed and teased, "Sister~ You were clearly having so much fun singing just now~"

"I..." Xingge stammered, "I just... I just sometimes want to sing..."

"Hahaha!" Miss PA laughed so hard she almost fell over. "Xingge, your smug look is just too cute!"

"Who, who's being arrogant!" Xingge exclaimed, embarrassed and angry.

Hongxia laughed and said, "Sister is just so tsundere! She's always been like this! Even when she really wants to do something, she'll say no!"

"Hongxia—!" Xingge angrily chased after her younger sister.

Hongxia laughed and dodged away: "Hahaha! You can't catch me, sister~"

Miss PA chimed in, "Xingge, just admit it! You clearly really want to sing!"

“You…you bad guys…” Xingge was both angry and amused.

Yamada Ryo watched this scene quietly from the side, a faint smile playing on his lips.

……

After a while, Xingge finally gave up the chase.

She sat down in the chair, panting, glaring at Hongxia and Ms. PA.

"You two... just you wait..."

"Hehe." Hongxia stuck out her tongue.

Ms. PA laughed and said, "Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore."

She checked the time: "Ah, it's already so late. It's about time to prepare for tonight's business."

“Oh right.” Hongxia also checked the time. “It’s almost six o’clock.”

Xingge stood up and dusted herself off: "Then let's start preparing."

The four of them walked out of the practice room together.

In the corridor, the voices of customers could already be heard coming from the bar area.

……

……

Inside STARRY.

Xingge has changed into her work uniform and is checking tickets.

Ms. PA sat by the stage, adjusting the keyboard.

Hongxia was in charge of the beverages.

The three people took their places.

STARRYLiveHouse, 8 PM.

The store was bustling with noise.

On stage, an underground band is performing, their intense drumbeats and guitar sounds resonating throughout the space.

The audience below the stage waved their arms and swayed to the rhythm.

Behind the bar, Ijichi Seika's gaze swept across the store, and seeing Nijika's energetic appearance, a smile appeared on her lips.

But that smile only lasted a few seconds.

Soon, a look of worry appeared on his face.

Thank you so much "刀维" for the monthly pass!

Chapter 94: Hiroi Kikuri Appears (2/5)

(Pictured is Kikusato Hiroi)

————.

Three months ago, she received the notification—

This area will be redeveloped.

The old buildings need to be demolished and new commercial buildings constructed.

Although there will be compensation, she invested too much in opening this LiveHouse.

The venue rental, renovations, and music equipment, especially the professional-grade sound systems and instruments... all of these alone caused her to incur huge debts.

If STARRY is demolished, the compensation will not be enough to pay off the debts.

She will go bankrupt.

Even if we mortgage our old house, we still won't be able to cover our debts.

Xingge closed her eyes and sighed deeply.

"Star Song."

A gentle voice sounded in my ear.

Xingge opened her eyes and saw Ms. PA standing beside her: "PA..."

Miss PA looked at Xingge's haggard expression, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

"Haven't you told Hongxia yet?" she asked in a low voice.

Xingge was silent for a moment, then shook her head.

"Not yet." Her voice was a little hoarse. "I haven't figured out how to bring it up yet."

Ms. PA sighed: "This matter...can't be kept secret for long."

“I know.” Xingge gave a wry smile. “I know…but…”

She looked in Hongxia's direction.

Hongxia's face was full of excited smiles.

"She's rarely this happy," Xingge murmured to herself, "I don't want her to worry..."

Ms. PA fell silent.

She understood Xingge's desire to protect her younger sister.

But some things are unavoidable.

“Hoshigo…” Ms. PA said softly, “Have you ever thought about asking Mr. Fujiwara for help?”

"Huh?" Xingge was taken aback.

“He helped Yamada solve such a big problem, so he must have a good temper and be generous. Perhaps…” Ms. PA continued.

“No,” Xingge interrupted her, her tone resolute, “I won’t beg him.”

"Why?"

Xingge bit her lip. "I don't want to owe that scumbag a favor."

Ms. PA shook her head helplessly: "Xingge, your prejudice!"

“This isn’t prejudice,” Xingge said stubbornly. “I just don’t want to have too much to do with that kind of person.”

Ms. PA sighed and didn't say anything more.

She knew Xingge's personality—

Stubborn, proud, and unwilling to easily bow down.

But sometimes, people have to bow their heads.

……

……

The next morning, Genesis Music Office Area.

This is a modern office building located in a bustling commercial district of Tokyo.

Genesis Music rented one floor as office space.

Although the company was only recently established, its decoration and equipment are very professional.

Meeting rooms, recording studios, office areas...

Everything is available.

"Wow..." Hongxia's eyes lit up as she looked at the scene before her. "Amazing... Is this the company...?"

Yamada Ryo explained casually, "It's just rented office space. Once the company grows bigger, we'll have our own building."

"My own building?!" Hongxia was even more excited.

Xingge followed behind them, her expression somewhat complicated.

As her guardian, she accompanied Hongxia to sign the contract today.

Although she still harbored prejudice against Seiji Fujiwara, she had to admit that he was very generous.

The company, which was clearly just a hobby, was far larger and more professional than she had imagined.

"Director Yamada, Ms. Iji, and this gentleman is...?"

A middle-aged man in a suit walked over.

"This is Nijika's older sister, Ijichi Seika," Yamada Ryo introduced. "She's here today to sign the contract as Nijika's guardian."

“I see.” The man nodded and extended his hand. “Hello, I’m Ken Sakaguchi, the legal director of Genesis Music.”

"Hello," Xingge said politely, shaking hands.
