Omni-Anime Has So Many Geniuses! Why Not Add Me? Chapter 150

"Ahem..." Anwa Subaru's expressions fell into dismay, feeling like fools for worrying that they would feel constrained.

"But, is your grandmother not staying here these past few days?" He glanced around the room and asked casually.

"She has to stay with the film crew; it's work after all."

"I see."

A moment later, she brought over three glasses of "real" iced Black tea —that is, Black tea with ice added; the Black tea must have been cooled and placed in the refrigerator long ago.

"It's very comfortable to play games in this," she said to Inoseri Nina, who was completely nestled in the foam chair.

"Thank you." X 2

The two thanked her.

"Nina is one thing, but I didn't expect you, Talent, to come too. Do you also think I might leave the band?" She looked at Sakurakoji Talent was drinking iced Black tea with a curious expression.

He stared intently at the bright red glass in his hand. This kind of unorthodox drinking style—wouldn't it be forbidden in his own home?

Well, although he's tried it before—he's used to the demonic path anyway—if Ashiri and the others did that, they would probably be stopped.

Hearing the voice, he looked over and said, "No, I just came over to hang out since I had nothing to do this afternoon. I have a lot of faith in 486-chan, and I wasn't planning on trying to persuade you otherwise."

"I see..." Anwa Subaru's expression relaxed slightly.

"Huh! Is that so?" Inoseri Nina turned around abruptly.

"Didn't I say that before? Why are you so surprised?"

"Because, because!"

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore," Anwa Subaru stopped her, then picked up the Remote Control. "Take a look at this."

The huge display screen turned on without delay, and a black and white film began to play.

The first frame that caught their eyes was of a cute girl with black hair—although it was strange to distinguish hair color in a black and white film, they intuitively felt that she must have black hair.

The girl was wearing a white dress—well, that's just intuition.

Her face is 80% similar to Anwa Subaru's, they are practically identical. In the movie, she stands alone on the beach, her face radiating a natural and touching smile, her tender eyes seeming to captivate anyone at first glance.

Sakurakoji Talent nodded to himself. If that was the case, he could understand why she was so popular back then; she was indeed charming.

The girl in the film, if placed decades ago, would have been the dream girl of every boy and man.

"What a beautiful person," even Inoseri Nina couldn't help but remark.

"I think if I don't explain it to you clearly, you'll get angry and start yelling at me again." Anwa Subaru stood to the side holding the Remote Control and explained to Inoseri Nina.

As the movie continues, introductory subtitles appear next to the girl: Anwa Tendou (Outstanding Newcomer).

Then, the movie's title appears in large hiragana characters: 486 (mist).

"Ah..." Inoseri Nina was taken aback.

"My name comes from this title, Grandma said it's good," Anwa Subaru added.

"Could this person be..."

"Yes, I heard she became an overnight sensation because of this movie when she was young," Anwa Subaru confirmed. "But I wasn't born yet, so I'm not entirely sure."

The two then turned their attention back to the screen.

"So it's an auspicious name... if you want to be an actor."

"But you don't want to, do you?"

"Yes, and I don't want to be taken care of everywhere because of my grandmother's influence." Anwa Subaru walked to the TV and turned around. Her face was on the same screen as the girl's, making people even more certain of their relationship.

"To be honest, I just don't like acting at all; it's too shameful."

She pressed the Remote Control and turned off the TV.

"But... when I tell her that this is my goal, she smiles." She stood on tiptoe unconsciously, hands behind her back, as if struggling with a dilemma. "Only then does she smile genuinely, not as if it's an act."

"Ah..." Inoseri Nina's Anwa Tendou's smiles from yesterday flashed through her mind, along with photos of Kawaragi Momoka and her friends in high school, showing them genuine joy.

"What do you think?" Anwa Subaru walked to the leather sofa at the back and sat down, throwing the question at Inoseri Nina.

She ignored Sakurakoji Talent, because she knew that the most crucial and troublesome person right now was only one person.

"What would you do if it were Nina?"

"Look." After receiving no answer for a long time, she showed an expression of surprise, threw a sofa cushion at her head, and sat cross-legged, holding her head and sighing.

"Do you understand a little better now, you bastard?"

After a moment of silence, Inoseri Nina lowered her head and said, "However, maintaining the status quo isn't good."

"If she's not planning to become an actress, it's better to tell her sooner rather than later."

"Yeah, that's true." Anwa Subaru replied dismissively.

Bump!

Inoseri Nina threw the pillow back into her arms. "That's how it is!"

"Ah~" Anwa Subaru said, as if giving up, "I was thinking that if I went to acting school, she would realize that I don't have any talent, and then she would give up."

"Even knowing you lack talent doesn't mean you'll give up," Sakurakoji Talent finally spoke up after watching from the sidelines.

"Huh?" The two looked at him in confusion.

"As parents, it's only natural to want their children to understand them and inherit their careers," he continued.

Even if their children are not as talented as they are, it is enough to make people feel gratified if they can carry on their legacy, because it means that their efforts have been recognized by future generations.

"Being in the same field allows them to leverage their accumulated capital and connections to clear obstacles for their children's growth—that alone is enough to give them a sense of accomplishment."

"Parents all over the world are mostly like this. If it's a tiring job with low pay, that's one thing, but if it's a good career and family business, there's no reason not to make the most of it and give their children a sense of security, right?"

After listening to his analysis, Inoseri Nina and Anwa Subaru fell into thought.

"Yes, Talent, what you said makes sense. That's probably what Grandma thinks too," Anwa Subaru affirmed first.

"But the wishes of our elders have nothing to do with our own choices, right?" Inoseri Nina retorted, frowning. "Only we ourselves can make decisions about our own lives, can't we?"

"You won't be truly happy if you only try to please others and ignore your own true feelings!"

"That's true," Sakurakoji Talent didn't directly deny her point of view, "But ultimately it depends on what the real thought is, isn't it?"

"What's the meaning..."

"Isn't 486's decision to attend acting school out of consideration for her grandmother a reflection of her true feelings?"

"Uh!" She was speechless for a moment.

After a pause, Inoseri Nina glared at him, a little annoyed. "What does Mr. Talent think? Is it okay for Subaru to just give up and leave the band like this?!"

"Why do you have to think so extreme..." He was exasperated by her straightforward way of thinking. "Didn't 486 already tell you guys that you wouldn't give up on the band?"

"Well, if it were me, things would be much simpler."

"What's that?" Anwa Subaru curiously peered in, swaying their upper bodies.

"I can manage both," he said smugly, tossing his hair and leaving the scent of his expensive shampoo from that morning in the air. "After all, I'm a genius."

"Forehead..."

The two looked at him with expressions that were hard to describe, unable to even utter a word of anger.

"Just kidding," he said, stopping abruptly when he saw the effect wasn't working. "Anyway, the specifics of how to do it are up to 486-chan himself, so let's not interfere too much, Nina."

"While I understand your thinking, perhaps now is not the best time."

"Now, all we need to know is that Subaru isn't the kind of drummer who would abandon you and run away alone, right?"

"Right? Subaru-chan?"

"Yes, Talent is right." Anwa Subaru nodded, then looked helplessly at Inoseri Nina and reiterated, "Don't worry, I won't leave."

"Really?" Inoseri Nina looked over, seeking confirmation.

"Mmm!" Anwa Subaru nodded affirmatively, then made a drumming gesture, "When I was playing the drums at the concert before, I felt..."

"I might actually like this by surprise!"

"Hmm..." Inoseri Nina relaxed and smiled gently.

Seeing that she remained silent, Anwa Subaru frowned in annoyance, got up and pounced on her, wrapping their arms around her neck.

"Ouch! O..."

"I've told you the truth! What are you going to say now?!"

"Hmm, hmm, umm!" Inoseri Nina, who was locked up, opened one eye, her cheeks puffed out, and she didn't look angry at all.

Looking at her baby-like, plump face full of collagen, Sakurakoji Talent raised an eyebrow, really wanting to go up and pinch it hard!

"I apologize for disturbing you today." Standing in front of the entrance, Inoseri Nina bowed inwards.

"Okay, see you later." Anwa Subaru nodded.

"Then we'll take our leave for today... Oh right!" Sakurakoji Talent remembered and turned to her to confirm, "You'll be filming on location tomorrow, right?"

"Hmm, is that so? Interested?" Anwa Subaru tilted his head.

"Of course. If it's convenient, could we watch tomorrow? Nina, are you coming?"

"Yes! I'm going!" Inoseri Nina nodded quickly, clenching her fist as she carried her Backpack.

Anwa Subaru replied helplessly, "I understand. I'll let you know the time and place tomorrow, and I'll pick you up when we get there."

"Okay! Then it's up to you!" Sakurakoji Talent opened the door, Inoseri Nina went out first.

He glanced at her, making sure she had walked a distance before finally meeting Anwa Subaru's gaze. "And about your grandmother's matter, like I said before, just follow your own heart."

She looked slightly surprised, but quickly recovered. "It's okay! I was thinking I'd have to come clean eventually anyway, so maybe now's the perfect time!"

"Things will be different someday..." But he didn't intend to continue. "Well, you can decide for yourself. I'll take care of Nina and the others."

"If anything goes wrong, leave it to me to handle. After all, I'm the Band Manager."

"Hehe~" Anwa Subaru's eyes widened, and she leaned forward with her hands behind her back. With her deliberate enhancement, her delicate face became even more playful and cute. "I know! If anything happens, I'll leave it all to you, Band Manager!"

"Leave it to me with confidence. See you tomorrow."

"Okay! Bye-bye~"

Nighttime, at the villa.

"We're back!"

"Ah, another tiring day."

RUPA and Ebizuka Tomo dragged their weary steps as they finished their day's work and stepped into the entryway, grumbling as they changed their shoes.

"That drunkard today was such a nuisance. Can't people like that just die? He's just a nuisance to everyone else!" Ebizuka Tomo said angrily.

"There's nothing you can do about it, you'll get used to it," RUPA comforted her.

"Ugh, I can't take it anymore. I don't know when we'll be able to actually make money from music. I don't want to do this annoying job for another day." Ebizuka Tomo sighed at the hardships of life.

"Subaru said he wanted to leave the team again the other day. Seriously, what is he thinking?"

"Well, didn't Momoka and the others say it was an accident and that nothing would happen?"

"That's why I want to know what exactly happened. I'll definitely ask them about it later." Ebizuka Tomo frowned, displeased. "We don't have time to waste on this."

"If we're going to waste time on players joining and leaving the team, we might as well quit and rebuild as soon as possible."

"Don't say things like that..." RUPA said with a bitter expression.

"Who said they wanted to leave the team?" A solemn voice came from the living room doorway.

Sakurakoji Talent is truly impressive. I was just about to go over and welcome the two of them when they started gossiping behind my back about leaving the group!

Can't you guys have a little bit of collectivism?
