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

Hiroi Kikuri felt her mouth was dry and her heart was pounding.

It wasn't fear, but a morbid excitement.

She shamefully felt a certain "resonance" with this scene of power. A powerful urge welled up within her, a urge to rush forward and take its place!

But when he looked up, he saw Eliza's face flushed with humiliation, filled with anger and disappointment at her "traitor".

"Eliza... is she angry with me?" The thought flashed through Hiroi's mind. "Because of me, is she going to suffer all of this for me?"

This thought made her feel a little guilty.

Chapter 123 Toyonosaki Graduation Ceremony, with Kato Megumi (2/2)

(The picture shows Megumi Kato.)

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.

But this trace of guilt was quickly overwhelmed by an even more morbid competitive desire.

After a brief improvisation.

Eliza Shimizu's fingers slipped limply from her body as she breathed heavily, as if she had just finished a performance that had exhausted her.

Her eyes held a mixture of pleasure and regret for having so easily become immersed in the melody that Seiji Fujiwara had given her.

Seiji Fujiwara turned his gaze to Kikuri Hiroi, whose cheeks were also flushed with excitement.

“Now it’s your turn, Kikuri.” He smiled. “Or will you come up on your own?”

Uh, isn't there an option not to do it?

Hiroi Kikuri glanced at Eliza, who was blushing and embarrassed on the sofa, then looked at Fujiwara Seiji in front of her, scratched her head, and only dared to complain in her heart.

She struggled internally for less than three seconds.

Then, he revealed a fawning, ingratiating smile.

“Seiji-sama…” Hiroi Kikuri’s voice was sickeningly sweet, “I choose the second one.”

She slid off the sofa and knelt down in front of Seiji Fujiwara like a docile puppy.

"Kikuri, you?!" Eliza's eyes widened in shock.

Hiroi Kikuri tilted her head back, her dreamy peach blossom eyes looking at Fujiwara Seiji.

What happened next left Eliza completely stunned.

Kikuto Hiroi, who is usually so unrestrained on stage, is now as docile as a well-trained pet.

She diligently delivered a performance that satisfied Seiji Fujiwara. Her improvisational arrangements of the melody, every chord and every strum was just right, as if she were saying through music: "Look, I understand my master's soul better than Eliza does."

This made Eliza Shimizu even angrier.

She couldn't deconstruct melodies as freely and unrestrainedly as Kiku, so she could only subtly compete in terms of technique and precision, trying to overwhelm her opponent with her gorgeous classical techniques.

Their music began a subtle but intense rivalry, one flamboyant and precise, the other lively and unrestrained. The two styles clashed fiercely in the room, completely unaware that it was all the result of Seiji Fujiwara's secret guidance.

……

for a long time.

The two stopped abruptly when Seiji Fujiwara was satisfied with the ending.

They slumped down, looking utterly exhausted, as if all their energy had been drained.

Seiji Fujiwara looked down at them and asked, "Now, do you have any further opinions regarding the contract?"

Hiroi Kikuri was the first to react, shaking her head and pleading, "No objection! We'll sign! Whatever you tell us to sign, Seiji-sama, we'll sign! As long as you can 'guide' us like this more often in the future!"

Eliza Shimizu remained silent.

Her heart is dead.

Looking at Hiroi's shameless appearance, I felt that nothing mattered anymore.

What's the point of resisting?

Hiroi Kikuri has already surrendered, and he's been taken advantage of. In the end, won't he still be suppressed?

Since that's the case, why not...

She raised her head, her expression indifferent, and said coldly, "...We will sign a contract."

Seiji Fujiwara nodded in satisfaction. He walked to his desk, picked up the contract, and handed it to them.

“Great, there’s a bathroom nearby.”

"After you've cleaned everything up, let's sign the contract."

……

……

An hour has passed.

Iwashita Shima began to get anxious.

Eliza Shimizu and Kikuri Hiroi had already left with Seiji Fujiwara an hour ago.

Even if someone is a good conversationalist, they shouldn't have talked for this long.

Iwashita Shima began to look outside frequently, her eyes filled with worry and unease.

"Would you like something to drink, Iwashita-senpai?" Yamada Ryo asked politely, feigning ignorance.

"No, thank you," Iwashita Shima politely declined.

She's not in the mood for anything to drink right now.

Time continues to pass.

Shima Iwashita's unease grew stronger.

Just as she was about to lose her temper, her two teammates returned.

"That's great, you guys..."

Just as Iwashita Shima was about to say something, her pupils suddenly contracted.

The last to return was Kikuto Hiroi, her face flushed, her expression one of languor and contentment she had never seen before.

That expression made him look even happier than if he had drunk the finest wine!

Meanwhile, her usually messy hair was now slightly damp, clinging to her cheeks and neck as if she had just finished a sauna.

Your lips seem a little red and swollen?

His walking posture was also a bit strange, and his legs seemed to be weak involuntarily, as if he had just finished running a marathon.

Next up is Eliza Shimizu.

If Hiroi's appearance represents "satisfaction," then Eliza's appearance represents "struggle."

He had a satisfied expression on his face, but his eyes seemed to be resisting something, giving people a very contradictory feeling.

"Kikuri! Eliza! You..." Iwashita Shima rushed forward, wanting to get to the bottom of things.

"Ah...it's Shima..."

(bgcg)

When Hiroi Kikuri saw her, she gave an even more frivolous smile than usual. She even stuck out her tongue and subconsciously licked her slightly swollen lips, as if savoring something.

"We just resigned and had a very pleasant chat with Fujiwara-sensei."

"Is...is that so?" Iwashita Shima was reluctant to believe it.

“That’s right, I’ve lost track of time. I’m sorry to have kept you waiting so long.” Eliza Shimizu nodded, revealing her usual gentle smile.

"Really?" Iwashita Shima asked, her face full of doubt.

I always feel like something is wrong.

“Alright, Shima,” Kikuri Hiroi interrupted her, “let’s get back to business… I’ve agreed to the contract. I’ve decided to join Ryo’s music label!”

"What?" Iwashita Shima asked, slightly annoyed.

Making decisions without consulting anyone, are you even thinking straight, you drunkard?

Did you get drunk again today?

“I’ve decided to join too!” Eliza Shimizu added.

Two to one.

Iwashita Shima looked at her two with a face full of surprise.

What is it about Seiji Fujiwara that makes him so appealing?

How did a mere hour-long conversation manage to convince the two most unruly members of the team to agree?

Iwashita Shima fell into deep thought.

She hadn't originally intended to sign the contract, but since both of her friends agreed, she couldn't object.

Iwashita Shima thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Then I agree too."

……

Soon, under Ryo Yamada's leadership, the SICKHACK band completed their signing.

Subsequently.

Ryo Yamada led the three members of SICKHACK on a tour of Genesis' subsidiary music brand.

The three of them were amazed by the luxurious facilities as they toured the site.

The three were particularly stunned when they saw the massive "music library" inside the brand.

"These...these songs..."

Yamada Ryo randomly selected a few songs and played them for the three of them.

Iwashita Shima and the other two were so shocked that they were speechless.

Such high quality!

Even top-notch producers need a burst of inspiration to create truly exceptional songs!

And the company has over three thousand songs like this in its music library!?

"The company's benefits are pretty good, right?" Yamada Ryo asked casually with a slight smile.

The three nodded in succession.

More than good!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a land of divine promise, flowing with milk and honey!

No, this company is God's promised land for the band!!

When they discovered that the company not only provided for their basic needs but also assigned Hiroi Kikuri a personal psychologist and alcohol counselor, and promised to use a top-notch legal team to handle her past debt disputes—Iwashita Shima was speechless with astonishment.

She looked at her two teammates who hadn't said a word the whole time, and a look of guilt and gratitude appeared on her face.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood." Shima lowered her voice and said to her two teammates, "Because of my stubbornness, I almost made everyone miss such a good opportunity. Kiku, Eliza... it's all thanks to your persistence."

Hear this.

Hiroi Kikuri and Shimizu Eliza both froze for a moment.

They both turned their faces away at the same time, a blush rising on their cheeks.

Actually, they didn't think that much about it.

I joined the company solely on the orders of Seiji Fujiwara.

……

……

dusk.
