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

A glint of light flashed in Yamada Ryo's eyes.

"It's basically confirmed..."

This Seiji Fujiwara is a frank "playboy" who makes no attempt to hide his desires.

This is a wonderful thing for her!

A man who frequents brothels usually won't refuse a beautiful woman who comes to him, especially a "rare" beauty who is completely different from the type he already has in his harem.

Moreover, this also means that there is a possibility that the deal I want will succeed!

This made her feel at ease.

Ryo Yamada read every word of the report again, trying to find more information.

"...recruiting for 'Genesis' and gathering elites from all walks of life..."

"...President Fujiwara's trip to Tokyo aims to find key talent for several future projects of the company..."

Talent...recruiting and building up talent...

Yamada Ryo's gaze finally settled on the words "headhunting company".

A flash of lightning went through her mind.

Since he's here to recruit, there's a very high probability that he, or his agent, will be near one of Tokyo's top headhunting firms.

If you just go there and keep watch, you might run into him!

This is a clumsy, inefficient method, like finding a needle in a haystack.

But for Yamada Ryo, this was her only option.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Yamada Ryo did not go to school.

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 generous contributor "1374.." for the monthly pass! I'm at a loss.

Chapter 80 Yamada Ryo: I Need Money (2/2)

She sent a message to the Livehouse manager, Ijichi Hoshika, saying that she had a family matter to attend to and needed to take a few days off, and even had to suspend her part-time job.

period.

When Hongxia sent her a message to inquire, she only brushed it off with perfunctory words like "I have some personal matters to attend to" and "Don't worry."

She boarded the tram and arrived at the Marunouchi shopping district in Chiyoda Ward.

This is the heart of Tokyo, a hub for top headhunting firms.

Yamada Ryo found a seemingly large headhunting firm and sat down on an inconspicuous park bench across the street, like a statue, and began to stake out the place.

While complying.

She pulled grass leaves from her pocket and chewed them expressionlessly, her eyes fixed on the headhunting firm's entrance like a hawk's, not missing a single person coming in or out.

Time passes minute by minute.

……

……

Shimokitazawa.

In the backstage dressing room of "STARRY", Ijichi Nijika held her phone, looking worried.

"Damn it! What on earth is Liang doing?! He won't answer the phone, and he only replies to two words in his messages!" She said angrily, grabbing her yellow side ponytail.

Her older sister, Ichiji Hoshika, sighed, also somewhat worried: "She even took time off from her part-time job, which has never happened before. Could it be... that something happened?"

Ms. PA, who was standing nearby, pondered for a moment and said, "I just sent her another message, but she still hasn't replied. Hongxia, why don't we go to her house tonight and check on her?"

“Yes! We have to go!” Hongxia nodded emphatically.

She had a bad feeling, thinking back to the tragedy that happened to the Yamada family a year ago, and was afraid that her friend might do something foolish that could not be undone.

……

……

Yamada Ryo was completely unaware of their concerns.

At this moment, all her attention was focused on the glass door opposite.

One day... Two days...

The waiting was tedious and filled with despair.

Fortunately, it happened on the afternoon of the third day.

　"060," a figure already etched in her mind, appeared.

He was walking out of the headhunting firm with a middle-aged man who looked like a company executive, chatting and laughing.

Yamada Ryo suddenly stood up.

Suddenly, an astonishing light burst forth from those dull blue eyes!

He's here! Seiji Fujiwara!

Yamada Ryo felt his heart pounding wildly in his chest. The hunger, patience, and anxiety of the past few days had all transformed into a desperate, all-or-nothing resolve.

……

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the headhunting firm.

Seiji Fujiwara was discussing follow-up matters with a top headhunter, and they also planned to have dinner together.

"Mr. Kuroki, I'll leave the rest of the work to you as well," he said.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Fujiwara, take care!" Headhunter Kuroki bowed respectfully. "I certainly won't let you down!"

That concludes our discussion on work.

The two walked out the door and saw a delicate voice right in front of them.

"what?"

Kuroki let out a soft "hmm," as if recalling some gossip. He lowered his voice, pointed at the slender voice, and said with a smile, "Mr. Fujiwara, look at that girl. That's the Yamada family's daughter."

"The Yamada family's daughter?" Fujiwara Seiji looked in the direction he was pointing.

A slender, blue-haired girl walked along, her face expressionless.

Yamada Ryo?

Seiji Fujiwara paused for a moment, then immediately recognized the character as Ryo Yamada from "Lonely Rock".

Of course, she was also one of his wives in his previous life.

"That's right, the one whose family had a big incident a year ago... Sigh, what a pity, I heard they're living in dire straits now." Headhunter Kuroki said in a gossipy tone.

"Is that so?" Fujiwara Seiji appeared noncommittal, but his mind was actually racing.

Has the Yamada family also fallen on hard times?

Sure enough, the female protagonists in this world don't have very good lives.

Just as Seiji Fujiwara was pondering.

Ahead, Yamada Ryo quickened his pace.

She crossed the road and walked straight toward Seiji Fujiwara.

Da da da!

Under the astonished gazes of Seiji Fujiwara and the headhunter Kuroki, Ryo Yamada walked up to Seiji Fujiwara and stood still.

Then, she bowed slightly and spoke politely:

"Hello, Mr. Fujiwara. It's nice to meet you. My name is Ryo Yamada."

"...May I speak with you privately?"

Fujiwara Seiji was stunned by what he heard and looked down at the girl in front of him.

Her short blue hair shimmered with a unique luster in the afternoon sunlight. Her fair face appeared somewhat pale due to malnutrition, but her equally blue eyes, like burning will-o'-the-wisps, were fixed on her, filled with a wild, desperate determination.

Before I could even make a move, Yamada Ryo had already come up to me?

interesting.

So funny.

“Of course.” Seiji Fujiwara’s lips curled into an interested smile.

Beside him, Mr. Kuroki smiled knowingly and said at the opportune moment, "Mr. Fujiwara, I suddenly remembered that I have some matters to attend to at the company! As for dinner... I'm truly sorry, we'll have to reschedule for another day!"

Mr. Kuroki bowed once, and without waiting for Seiji Fujiwara to stop him, he turned around and went straight back to the company.

The entire process was smooth and efficient, without any delays.

Seiji Fujiwara was speechless, but he also secretly admired Mr. Kuroki's good eye.

At this moment, only he and Yamada Ryo remained on the bustling commercial street.

The atmosphere became subtly quiet for a moment.

“Mr. Fujiwara, we…” Yamada Ryo was about to continue.

“Let’s go to that park over there,” Fujiwara Seiji interrupted her, pointing to a park not far away. “It’s quieter there.”

"……it is good."

The two walked into the park one after the other and sat down on a secluded bench.

Yamada Ryo is clearly not the type to take a roundabout approach.

She looked directly into Fujiwara Seiji's eyes and spoke with a startling, earth-shattering statement:

"Mr. Fujiwara, are you interested in a short-haired, androgynous high school girl who plays bass?"

What the hell?

Even though Seiji Fujiwara prided himself on being well-informed, he was stunned by this self-promotion that could be described as "ultimately straightforward."

He blinked, almost thinking he had misheard.

what is this?

Is it a self-recommendation "pillow business" where someone comes to your door? Or is it someone who comes in person to discuss it?

Kasumigaoka Utaha's conquest is full of verbal battles and mental tug-of-war; Sawamura Eriri's conquest, on the other hand, is a slow and steady process amidst the other's tsundere attitude and struggles.

And this one in front of me...

The art style is completely different!

Yamada Ryo seemed to mistake his astonishment for confusion.

She continued in a completely emotionless tone, "I need money."

"Lots and lots of money."

She paused, then began to recount her experience, her voice as calm as if she were telling someone else's story.

“A year ago, my parents’ hospital went out of business due to an accidental fire, and they died in the fire. Subsequently, the hospital went bankrupt, leaving behind astronomical debts. The house we live in now will be seized by the bank next week to pay off the debts… Even so, the remaining debts are enough to make it impossible for me to recover in this lifetime.”

“I will drop out of school, I will lose everything, I will not even be able to eat.”

At this point, a slight tremor finally appeared in her voice.

Seiji Fujiwara listened quietly.

This information is basically consistent with what the headhunter Hei Mu just said, but coming from the person involved, the heavy sense of despair is a thousand times more concrete.

Sure enough, it's the standard script for a "female protagonist in distress".

Before Fujiwara Seiji could speak, Yamada Ryo continued.

“I saw the newspaper about the opening of ‘Genesis’ a few days ago.” She looked up and stared at Seiji Fujiwara.
