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

"Hey, Nina, you didn't join the band because you have feelings for Mr. Talent...?"

"Uh, Wenwenwen--"

Inoseri Nina shook her head vigorously, her expression serious. "What are you thinking, sister! I really love Miss Momoka's songs and music, that's why I decided to join a band!"

"Really? So you have no interest in Mr. Talent?"

"Uh-wh-why are you asking this?!"

"It's nothing, I just think having such a good-looking kid as my brother-in-law wouldn't be bad -- or something."

Inoseri Ryone nudged her arm, "Hurry up, tell me."

"... I... I don't know! Why are you suddenly asking me this!"

Inoseri Nina turned her face away awkwardly.

"Hmm~ You're really slow on the uptake when it comes to this kind of thing."

Inoseri Ryone patted her head helplessly, "So, does he have a girlfriend?"

"I think they said last time that it wasn't there yet..."

Inoseri Nina obediently did not dodge, letting her caress her.

"Yeah?"

Inoseri Ryone gazed at the white-haired figure with a hint of curiosity. "Such a wealthy family background, about the same age as you, impeccable appearance, and seemingly decent abilities and character..."

"It's really strange that you still don't have a girlfriend. Haven't you developed any interest in that area yet?"

"Mo~ what are you always saying Mr. Talent is up to?"

Inoseri Nina stared at her older sister, puzzled.

"Ahem, it's nothing, it's just that if I were your age, I definitely wouldn't let someone like that slip through my fingers."

Inoseri Ryone glanced sideways, her face slightly flushed.

"Huh?"

Before Inoseri Nina could react to that sentence, a moment later, she exclaimed, "Eh--!!!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down!"

Inoseri Ryone quickly covered her mouth.

"Nina? What's wrong?"

The others were drawn to her voice.

"No, it's nothing, it's just that something happened back home that surprised her."

While covering her mouth, Inoseri Ryone explained to the others with a dry laugh.

"I see..."

Without giving it much thought, the group continued their previous interaction.

Seeing that the commotion had subsided, she breathed a sigh of relief and untied her sister.

"Sister, sister, are you serious?"

Inoseri Nina stared at her sister in shock, her lips dry.

"How would I know... Although I said those things about you earlier, I actually..."

She frowned and scratched her scalp in annoyance. "Maybe... it's just because he's so good-looking that I'm temporarily attracted by his appearance?"

"Ah, I understand~"

Inoseri Nina's eyes narrowed into black lines as she shook her head and said, "Mr. Talent's face is really handsome~ Even we are very envious~"

"That's it,"

Inoseri Ryone crossed her arms and nodded, then asked doubtfully, "Are there many handsome guys like him in this urban area?"

Chapter 337 The captain must take responsibility!

"How is that possible!"

Inoseri Nina, "At least, so far, I haven't seen another person as special as him..."

"Really? That's good."

Inoseri Ryone couldn't tell whether she was relieved or regretfully accepted this reality.

If that's the case, then she'll have to consider whether she should come and work here too.

"But,"

Inoseri Ryone's voice turned slightly serious as she looked at her earnestly. "What are you planning to do? Are you really not going to study anymore? Are you just going to stick to a band from now on?"

"Um..."

Inoseri Nina, "I was really happy singing with Miss Momoka and Subaru, and I want to do that again."

"I want to leave home and be independent, and then start a band with everyone."

"Why..."

Inoseri Ryone sighed softly, pulled her to sit on the sofa, and patted her thigh.

Inoseri Nina pouted and obediently leaned against her, enjoying her lap pillow.

"I also think my father was wrong,"

Inoseri Ryone calmly analyzed, "You can write that kind of book, but you can't accept your daughter not going to school. I think... you must be very hurt too."

"However, I can also understand my father's thinking. At least, if we had turned a blind eye to that matter back then, we could have done the school a favor."

"With your grades, you'll easily get a guaranteed admission."

"That's how it is...!"

Inoseri Nina indignantly, "That's blatant cheating!"

"That's why you said you wanted to get into university on your own, and that's why you came here, right?"

Inoseri Ryone pressed it back down, "But you're giving up on even this, and you even said you wanted to leave home. Even I would find it hard to support you."

"..."

Inoseri Nina remained silent, knowing that she also had her faults in this regard.

But whether it was leaving home to study on her own or deciding to play music with friends, it was all her own genuine decision.

"And can a band really play for a lifetime?"

Inoseri Ryone expressed another concern. "Although I don't know much about it, I know it won't be a smooth road, will it?"

"They might disband and end up together at any time. What will you do then?"

"It was precisely because of the difficulties that I sent the savings book back. I wanted to prove that I was serious, to go all in, and to give it my all!"

Inoseri Nina got up, freeing herself from her soft, warm knees, and looked her in the eye earnestly.

"Society isn't that simple; it's not just about hard work..."

She hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "At least, go back and have a proper talk with your father and mother, okay?"

"No, even if I meet with them, it will definitely just end in an argument and a bad breakup."

Inoseri Nina turned her head away.

"What's this called again? A difference in values? He's always saying things I don't understand and don't want to hear, trying to make me compromise. How can we possibly reach an agreement like this?"

How will you know if you don't try?

"Huh?"

Inoseri Nina looked up in surprise at the person who had just spoken.

That voice wasn't Inoseri Ryone's, but Kawaragi Momoka's.

Suddenly, she appeared in front of the two of them, holding a beer can.

"Momoka-san (Miss Momoka)?"

Kawaragi Momoka, hands on her hips, gulped down a mouthful of beer, let out a loud "Wow!" like a middle-aged man, and looked down at her. "I see, I didn't know Nina had such a weakness."

"Not a weakness!"

Inoseri Nina frowned, and at the same time said to Sakurakoji Talent, who was playing the guitar of Kawaragi Momoka on the other side, "We don't need background music!"

Sakurakoji Talent nonchalantly put down her guitar, jogged to the dining table, grabbed a piece of cake, and gulped down a mouthful of Happy Water to rinse her mouth.

Beer, it really is awful. I really admire those people who can drink it like water.

"Then let's settle this properly."

"Momoka-san said that too?"

Inoseri Nina slumped against the sofa.

"After all, you seem to have some misunderstanding about yourself."

"Ha?!"

Inoseri Nina suddenly looked at her.

"Actually, what you care about most is neither going to college nor being bullied, but that your father didn't stand by your side, right?"

After saying that, Kawaragi Momoka took another sip of beer.

Indeed, chilled beer tastes so good!

"Um, that kind of thing..."

"If it weren't for that, you would definitely be able to see them, right?"

"Yes, I can see it!"

"Then go see him, explain everything clearly, express your wishes, and then come back!"

"..."

"Isn't that great? Once things are cleared up in the past, you can move forward without any worries! Just like me!"

Anwa Subaru broke into the slightly quiet and suffocating atmosphere, sticking out their tongues in a quick blink.

"Um... can I say something?"

RUPA raised his right hand, drawing everyone's attention.

"I may not have told you this before, but that day, I originally wanted to call my family, but I was working overtime a little late, so I thought I could do it tomorrow, since I could talk anytime... But that was the last chance."

"Huh?"

X 4.

"RUPA..."

Ebizuka Tomo's eyes flickered.

Sakurakoji Talent glanced at Anwa Subaru, whose pretty faces were blank, and sighed inwardly. When did a perfectly good birthday party turn into a complaining session about family conflicts?

I'll just quietly enjoy my Happy Water.

"Time and opportunity are both scarcer than we imagined."

Beneath RUPA's charismatic smile lay a hidden sadness that was usually difficult to detect—a feeling that several people inexplicably had.

"Talking too much about myself might seem a bit long-winded, right? I hope this will be helpful to you."

RUPA smiled one last time and walked out of the living room alone.

Ebizuka Tomo followed silently.

"..."

"Hey, Mr. Talent, what do you think I should do?"

Watching their disappearing figures, Inoseri Nina, feeling that she had done something wrong, looked somewhat bewildered at Sakurakoji Talent, who seemed indifferent to the situation.

"Don't you already have the answer in your heart? Just do it."

He put down his Coke cup, looked at the three people by the sofa, and knew that she just wanted someone to give her another push.
