So Many Geniuses in the Omni-Anime World! Why Not Add Me? Chapter 242

The living room fell silent immediately after these words were spoken.

Sakurakoji Talent and Kawaragi Momoka both stiffened, thinking they had been discovered.

"Eh? Ask me?"

He Kokoro pointed to himself.

"Of course, you're the only boy here, right?"

Ebizuka Tomo crossed his arms proudly, his cheeks slightly flushed, and he seemed embarrassed about the topic.

But she was doing it for her best friend, and she was willing to risk it all!

"No, who says only boys can like girls..."

Sakurakoji Talent and subtle gaze were captivating.

There should have been two pairs of women in this space originally.

If you include those around him, the number of women far exceeds the number of men and women.

For example, there's the succubus Shōko and her followers, Yamada Ryo and Ichiji Nijika, Kita Ikuyo, Shiina Rikki and Hachiman Kairin (or Takamatsu Akari?), Toyama Kasumi and Ichigaya Arisa, Tsurumaki Kokoro and the puppet Student Council President Ichigaya Arisa, Shirabe Rinko and Udagawa Ako, Minato Yukina and Imai Risa... Hey, what's with you guys forming a band?

If we broaden the scope a bit, then there's the Scummy Pink-haired Girl and the Ouka Mai Touma Kazusa and Kogisora Yukina (?), Sakurakoji Ashiri and Ogura Asahi (lol)...

Looking at it this way, it seems he was already surrounded by lesbians?

"Never mind, but why so suddenly?"

He looked at her in confusion, wondering how the topic had suddenly shifted to this.

"It's nothing, just asking."

Ebizuka Tomo quickly blinked and looked to both sides, avoiding eye contact with him.

"What? Tomo wants to fall in love?"

Like a kitten that has smelled blood, Anwa Subaru scurried up to her with a wicked grin.

No! I'm not interested in romance at all!

"Then why ask Mr. Talent this question... Could it be?!"

Inoseri Nina looked shocked.

"No!!!"

Ebizuka Tomo pushes Anwa Subaru away, his face flushed, and looks at him with a defiant attitude. "I just want to know what kind of criteria this guy has for choosing a partner!"

"That's all?"

"That's all!"

"What? How boring!"

Anwa Subaru walked to the table, rested their chins on their Hands, and looked around the room.

"You're overthinking it!"

Ebizuka Tomo felt mentally exhausted.

Why do girls have so much energy when this kind of topic comes up?

"My criteria for choosing a partner? Nothing strange, very ordinary."

Facing her extremely intimidating gaze, and knowing that he might be killed if he didn't speak up, Sakurakoji Talent hesitated and pondered:

"She's beautiful and kind-hearted, shares the same values as me, has some common interests, and we have an emotional foundation... that's about it."

"That's all?"

Ebizuka Tomo's eyes flickered as he continued to confirm.

"Isn't this requirement too high? Just the looks alone could shut out a lot of people, right?"

"No, well, even so..."

Ebizuka Tomo looked hesitant.

For ordinary people, this requirement might be a bit high, but given his circumstances, it's already as low as it can possibly be.

"Let me ask you a different question—what do your family think? You must be from a wealthy family, right? Wouldn't your family allow you to date other girls or go on blind dates?"

"My family has a pretty liberal attitude; as long as I'm happy, it's fine."

"I see..."

Ebizuka Tomo breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Rupa behind him. "It doesn't matter what their family situation is?"

"What family background is too broad. At the very least, there can't be any serious blemishes. Even if there are, it needs to be dissected—but in most cases, it really doesn't matter."

"So, do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend now?"

"Not yet. I don't want to think about it for the time being. Why?"

"Oh, I see~"

She walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder, a rare display of affection from her. "That's a good answer! I'll give you a high score today!"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Sakurakoji Talent looked blankly at the petite and adorable creature, who was less than 150 cm tall and a head shorter than him, and stood there dumbfounded.

"You don't need to worry about it! Just keep it like this!"

"Ha~"

He sighed, glancing sideways, and said, "And what about you? What are your criteria for choosing a partner?"

"Eh? Me?!"

Ebizuka Tomo's body stiffened.

"You're not planning to just ask me without telling me your own side of the story, are you? I never imagined you could be such a rude person!"

"That's not it! But..."

Ebizuka Tomo covered her flushed face; she had never even thought about this before!

She had been busy making a living, and every day she encountered either neurotic customers or former teammates who couldn't tolerate her demands;

Before that, the men she dated were all immature teenage boys and men whose mothers were promiscuous... There were no men she felt any affection for.

When she thought of a man she had feelings for, the first person that came to mind was this white-haired man in front of her...

!!!

No, no! What are you thinking, Zhi!

He's the person RUPA likes. Even if she has feelings for him, she can't like him, let alone not like him now!

"Forget it, if it's difficult, then forget it. It's not a big deal anyway."

Seeing her adorable conflicted expression, Sakurakoji Talent didn't press her too hard.

Ebizuka Tomo was stunned, looking up at his turned head and his snow-white, strong collarbone. When he was gentle, it was also... No, no!

She patted her cheeks and silently walked back to her spot.

A moment later, Sakurakoji Talent moved on to the next topic:

"Alright, that's settled on the clothing. Let's move on to the next thing."

"I heard that Nina, Tomo, Rupa, and you guys are still working part-time?"

"Well!"

Inoseri Nina trembled, as if she had done something wrong, she closed her eyes into a slit, cold sweat dripped from her forehead, and she pouted with a bitter expression.

"I'm not entirely against you doing this, after all, Subaru is also juggling acting, but you need to be mindful of the time, understand?"

He pointed to his wrist, where he wasn't wearing a watch.

"The desire to be independent and self-reliant is certainly admirable. There may be many expenses in the future, but right now, the band and practicing composition are the most important things. I must manage my work hours well each day."

"We know!"

Inoseri Nina stood up straight like a model soldier and answered earnestly and loudly, "Mr. Talent has already saved us a lot of money."

"So recently, Tomo and I have only been earning some pocket money and living expenses, which won't interfere with the band's practice!"

Rent is only part of the cost; even if the accommodation is luxurious, the only money they can save is the monthly rent of the place they previously lived in.

Other expenses include utilities, food, snacks, daily necessities such as face wash and cosmetics, clothing, transportation, software memberships and paid content, and entertainment expenses based on personal interests...

Only after living alone do people realize just how many places in this world have money to be spent.

Even though food and utilities can sometimes be split, it's still a considerable expense, especially since they live in such a large place.

If I don't intend to rely on the funds provided by Sakurakoji Talent, I definitely can't stop working.

Not to mention the costs of band activities, such as ticket sales, merchandise production, instrument maintenance and repair, prop rental, and accessory purchases... This is already the result of Sakurakoji Talent saving them two major expenses: costume production costs and recording studio rental.

Otherwise, do you think so many bands like to make their own clothes simply because they enjoy it?

No! It's simply because I'm poor!

If you're so poor that you're like the Kessoku Band, you can just have a store print your logo on a shirt and use that as your team uniform.

Honestly, it's already quite remarkable that the band members can support themselves by working part-time; not many people can stick to it.

Don't say he provided them with special support; he simply brought them to the same level as the high school band next door who relied on their families and the rich girls in their bands.

Otherwise, if you rely entirely on yourself, you'd have to work hard and save every penny to buy even a musical instrument.

The reason why Hana-dono Tae is so fond of the guitar she bought with money she earned from her part-time job is because musical instruments are really expensive in Japan.

He glanced at the five people, immediately kicking Anwa Subaru out of the "poor guy" category. Kawaragi Momoka and Ebizuka Tomo... RUPA should still have some savings, but Inoseri Nina...

I bet he's already sent his living expenses home. This kid is frighteningly serious.

However, he didn't dislike this stubbornness and drive at all.

Chapter 294 The Return of the Pink Milk Dragon.

"Well, it's good that you understand. I believe you can handle it yourselves."

He smiled warmly, said nothing more, and then looked at Anwa Subaru.

"By the way, 486-chan, come to my place this Saturday afternoon. I'll introduce you to someone who's an acting coach."

"Eh? Acting skills?"

Anwa Subaru were surprised, "Ah~"

Ignoring the line, Di Piao looked troubled. "Do we really have to go?"

"Of course, didn't I promise your grandma I'd take care of you?"

Sakurakoji Talent, with a serious expression, held up one finger with one hand, "Acting and band, you have to take both seriously."

"Even if your focus is on this area, you should still pay some attention to your training over there. I plan to help you develop in all aspects and become all-rounders in the future."

"Hehe~"

Sensing his seriousness, Anwa Subaru stuck out their tongues cutely and playfully tapped their heads, saying, "I know, I'll go then."

"Hey? Subaru-chan is going to Mr. Talent's house this weekend too? I want to go too! I want to go too!"

Inoseri Nina her hand and jumped to indicate that she was jumping.

"What about finding a job?"

Ebizuka Tomo coldly poured cold water on her enthusiasm.

"Ugh... a shift change?"

She asked tentatively.

"Well, don't worry, you'll have plenty of opportunities in the future, as long as you perform in Tokyo."

He took two steps forward and Hands patted Inoseri Nina's head with both hands; she wasn't much taller than Ebizuka Tomo.

"Hmm..."

Inoseri Nina pouted, annoyed that he had messed up her hair.

"I can provide you with free accommodation then, you can thank me for that."
