What's Wrong with Adding Me Among So Many Geniuses in Omni-Anime?

"Why are you looking at me like that? I still have a driver's license, after all."

Without a second thought, he pulled out his fake driver's license and waved it in front of them.

The group breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great! I thought we'd run into a reckless driver!"

"You got your driver's license so quickly? Your birthday is quite early Himemiya student."

"By the way, where did you find the time to get your driver's license? Did you skip class or take leave?"

"..."

The group of women chattered excitedly as they walked towards the family restaurant they knew well, laughing and joking.

Kōsaka Reina silently looked away from him, her feelings a jumble of complex emotions.

While she was still yearning for something special and longing for a spontaneous trip, others had already obtained their driver's licenses and were even going on road trips during high school...

This huge gap made her feel a little heartbroken.

Ten minutes later, the group sat down in the family restaurant and ordered their food.

"My Himemiya student ~"

"What are you doing, Asuka- san?"

"How can you play the Saxophone so well? When did you start learning music?"

"It just happened naturally like this? When... when I was 6 years old, I guess?"

"Wow... so you've had a foundation for over ten years, right? No wonder you're so amazing..."

Kato Hazuki was at the next table, turned around and joined the conversation.

Because there were so many of them, they were divided into two adjacent tables, with four third-grade students and four first-grade students.

"No, Kato-san, that level of skill can't be built up in just a little time."

Kōsaka Reina, who sat next to her, retorted.

"Is that so?"

She, who only started learning musical instruments this year, asked in bewilderment.

For a beginner, she couldn't even tell how good or bad the performance was.

During the Wind Ensemble Club performance at the entrance ceremony, when Kumiko Oumae criticized it as terrible, she only thought it was so-so.

"Yes, there are many people who have studied music for more than ten years, but only a very small number have reached his level."

"Ah, that's true! The teacher has been studying for many years, hasn't he? But he also said that he can't compare to Himemiya student!"

Kato Hazuki suddenly realized what was going on; after seeing the example, she immediately understood.

"..."

Kōsaka Reina subconsciously squinted and glared at him, but remembering that it was Taki Noboru himself who said it, she helplessly looked away.

Why does Himemiya student always wear a mask?

The one who asked the question was Nakasako Kaori, who found it very strange that he was still wearing a mask.

"There's no other reason, I just don't like people taking pictures of my face."

Himemiya Chihaya removed her mask and explained with a light laugh, "Because the previous performance was something I had planned in advance, I figured someone would take pictures of me."

"Oh!"

Medical Enterprise Wing Dadi Private X N.

Even seeing his true face for the second time, the group was still slightly shocked.

It's such a waste not to go with that face...

"Indeed, you were already quite eye-catching. With your good looks on top of that, it would be strange if no one took pictures of you."

Kumiko Oumae crossed her arms and wholeheartedly agreed.

Tanaka Asuka couldn't help but retort to his impossibly exquisite face, "Has no one ever told you you should go back into the painting?"

Even if they consider themselves outstanding beauties, perhaps due to genetics, whitening, skincare, nutrition, maintenance, exercise, and other details, they can't help but envy his skin and appearance.

"There really is."

He let out a short sigh, thinking of Okura Rumin.

Although, to be precise, the other party said he should be sent back to the art museum and confined there.

"Then I'll have to trouble you this afternoon... Is there anyone willing to volunteer to show me around Uji and show me the local customs and culture?"

"Hmm... what should I do?"

Tanaka Asuka leisurely clasped her Hands together, rested her chin on them, and smiled slyly.

"Oh, right? Next time you go to Tokyo, I'll be your tour guide!"

"That sounds tempting, although I think it's probably going to be difficult this year because I need to prepare for the National Competition."

"That's true. I guess they'll be training at school all summer, I wonder how many days they'll get off..."

Although summer vacation is still far away and the department's training schedule hasn't been printed out yet, they have this feeling based on the past two weeks of training.

"Hey? Sacrificing your summer vacation just to prepare for this, isn't that a bit too much? It's not like it's some professional music competition... Is it really necessary to work this hard?"

"Don't say such provocative things. We couldn't even get past the Prefectural Competition before. Of course, we need to put in 100% effort to enter the national competition, right?"

"Alright~ Although I don't quite understand it, this is also a way to experience youth. I wish you all the best in making it to the national finals this year."

"Thank you, by the way,"

As if struck by a thought, Tanaka Asuka's eyes flickered, and she hesitantly asked, "When you were playing today, that girl next to you... how did you meet her?"

The person she was referring to was, of course, Kasamaki Nozomi.

"That one next to her... could it be Nozomi-chan?"

"It really was her? I saw her too!"

Upon hearing her mention this, both Nakasako Kaori and Ogasawara Haruka frowned and spoke up.

"Oh, she's here today too. Is she here to see our performance?"

"Nozomi... I think she'll accept the current Wind Ensemble Club."

Because of Kasamaki Nozomi's charismatic personality and cheerful nature, she has many friends and was very famous in the Wind Ensemble Club last year—otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to take away a bunch of classmates with a single wave of her arm.

Unlike their clear understanding, the four first-year students at the next table were completely confused.

"Hope Gao Lin Yi Shi Lu Qi Baer - who is Yue Yimei?"

"I don't know... is it a Senpai?"

"Asuka- senpai?"

"Hey hey~ This is a complicated explanation, you don't need to worry about it."

She skillfully deflected the topic and continued to gaze at Himemiya Chihaya.

He nodded and said nonchalantly, "Just like she said, we just bumped into each other by chance in the audience area. I felt that she seemed to have a special affection for Kitauji's team, and I thought maybe she knew you guys, so I struck up a conversation with her."

"However, judging from her expression, she seemed to have something she couldn't say. I asked her if she was a member of the Wind Ensemble Club, and she said she used to be."

"I guess it's because of a conflict with the previous year's students? I advised her to rejoin the Wind Ensemble Club if she had the chance, so she wouldn't have any regrets."

"You said all that?"

Tanaka Asuka's eyes widened, her expression strange. "But it's amazing you could guess the reason."

Will Nozomi-chan come back?

"Since she came to see us, she must not have given up her passion for playing. If only she could, it would be great. There's really no need to worry about it so much..."

"Um..."

Tanaka Asuka stared down at the table, lost in thought.

"Forget it, let's not talk about her now, we can discuss it later. Let's eat first!"

As her food was being served, she chuckled and grabbed a French fry, popping it into her mouth. "Mmm~ Delicious~"

The others said nothing more and began to eat.

A single snack couldn't make up for all the energy they'd consumed that morning, not even for Himemiya Chihaya.

A few minutes later, he was the first to put down his plate.

"Wow, that's fast! That's quite manly!"

Tanaka Asuka praised it.

"Although they're fast, their movements are very elegant, completely different from the boys in the Wind Ensemble Club and the physical education department. It seems there really is a big difference between people."

Nakasako Kaori was watching him closely, gave her evaluation with a slight smile.

At the next table, Kumiko Oumae's lips twitched, and she complained to her senior, "Even though I didn't see him, I think you shouldn't compare him to ordinary guys, Kaori..."

"Indeed, Himemiya student... or rather, Senpai? You're quite unique!"

Kawashima Midori glanced sideways, then nodded vigorously.

"Is that so?"

Tanaka Asuka tilted her head, looking puzzled. "Besides being good at music, being handsome, being a great cook, and being able to drive, is there anything else special about him?"

"Senior... would you like to hear what you're saying?"

"Haha! Just kidding, don't mind it!"

She waved to Kumiko Oumae, "Well, in my opinion, he's quite a special guy too."

"Is it special?"

Kōsaka Reina muttered to herself.

"Huh?"

Kumiko Oumae, sitting next to her, turned to look at her. "Kousaka student, did you say something?"

"..."

Kōsaka Reina remained silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up and looked at Himemiya student Himemiya Chihaya, asking earnestly, "In your eyes, what does 'special' mean?"

"Um?"

He, who had been lazily resting his arms on his hands, unexpectedly turned to her, and after looking around, found that the others were just as bewildered as he was.

Especially Kumiko Oumae, who was standing next to her, looked somewhat anxious.

After a brief moment of thought, he offered his answer, "Everyone is unique, so as long as you do your best, you are special."

"This answer is too formulaic."

Kōsaka Reina frowned, clearly dissatisfied.

No, you just haven't understood.

He slowly shook his head, his crimson eyes turning slightly serious. "No matter how unique and magnificent someone else's life Trajectory may be, it's based on their personality and life experiences, and it may not necessarily suit you."

"To be extraordinary, the prerequisite is to do what you want to do well and live every minute without regrets. That way, even if others tell you that you are ordinary, to yourself, you are already perfect."

"Conversely, even if everyone says you're different from others, it's meaningless if you can't accept it yourself."

He lazily rested his cheek on his clenched right fist, his tone calm and soothing—seemingly indifferent, but actually just feeling dizzy and wanting to take a nap.

"Following one's own heart, considering the consequences and responsibilities, still making the choices that are what one wants and what is suitable, and then living every moment of life freely and happily—I think that kind of person is the most special."

"People may not be able to do everything they want to do, nor may they be able to get everything they want, but having the initial will to move in that direction is enough."

"Don't try to replicate someone else's life; just be on the right path, though not absolutely the right one."

After briefly explaining, he shut his mouth and said no more.

To be honest, he doesn't really like lecturing others, because he doesn't like being lectured either.

But if it's the other party's own request, then there's nothing that can be done.
