What's Wrong with Adding Me to All These Omni-Anime Geniuses? Chapter 410
Takamatsu Akari and Shiina Rikki both gasped in surprise.
"Why... did you mention Mutsumi-chan's name?"
Takamatsu Akari's eyes were filled with doubt, but also a hint of pain.
"..."
Shiina Rikki didn't say anything; to that person, it didn't seem strange at all that they knew each other.
But why would he even... his own acquaintances?
"Yes, we know Mutsuko-chan and I are good friends. Sometimes we even play guitar together, practice dance moves, and discuss our plant-growing experiences."
Ogura Asahi took a sip of sweet Black tea and smiled as she uttered words that were, to them, uttered something cruel.
[Note: In the first episode of MyGO, Wakaba Mū mentioned that she would take lessons after school; that day it was ballet class.]
"Know..."
"Good friend..."
"Let's play guitar, practice dancing, and grow plants together..."
The only one among the four who wasn't shocked was probably Chihaya Aine, who was completely oblivious to the situation.
Her gaze swept over the group, and she felt as if she were the only one outside their social circle...
What happened? Had she inadvertently been ostracized by Cliques? When? She was full of questions.
Nagasaki Sōse clutched her chest, crumpling her school uniform. Even if it were her, Wakaba Mū wouldn't be this close to her now, doing so many things with her.
Unbeknownst to her, many things had already begun to change...
"That's amazing!"
That was all Takamatsu Akari could say.
"Your social skills are as exaggerated as ever. Are the seniors at school no longer enough for you? You're even flirting with students outside of school?"
Shiina Rikki sighed deeply, finally understanding what Shiina was doing when he took leave.
"Even if you told me now that you know Shōko, I wouldn't be surprised."
Ogura Asahi pursed her lips slightly and smiled mysteriously, a smile that made Shiina Rikki and the others a little uneasy.
"Huh? Really?!"
"Shōko, do you mean our schoolmate Toyokawa Shoko? She's in the class next to ours, Class B."
Chihaya Aine breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to chime in, and quickly joined the game.
She had mentioned this to Nagasaki Sōse before and knew that the other party was a former member of Crychic, but she hadn't gone into more detail.
"Asahi- san knows her; they've even played the Piano together. The first time I saw them was in the music room, but she seemed to think Asahi- san was her senior too..."
"..."
X N.
The way the others looked at him changed several times, as if they were completely speechless.
What a terrifying network of relationships!
They even knew each other's past ill-fated relationship!!!
"As you know, one of my hobbies is making friends with people."
He coughed lightly twice. "So, it's perfectly normal that I have a lot of friends, and they're spread out a bit, right?"
"Who knows you?!"
"Let's play guitar and Piano together..."
Nagasaki Sōse's eyes gradually darkened, revealing a hint of emptiness.
She tried so hard, yet couldn't achieve what she wanted; how could the other person have already done it first?
If Shōko -chan and Mutsumi-chan are still playing musical instruments, why did you leave them?!
Chapter 414 Sudden Intimacy and the Studio.
Ogura Asahi glanced at her, chuckling inwardly; he completely understood her feelings.
What a pity, Su Youli!
When Fengchuan Shō and Mu Zimi were with me, they were so well-behaved and wouldn't breathe on their skin so easily, completely different from how they were with you!
He glanced down at his phone, his face showing surprise. He quickly stood up. "I have important business to attend to later, so I'll be leaving now. If you need anything, please contact me by phone!"
"Rikki, please add me to your band's group chat later, thank you."
"Well then, I'll excuse myself for today."
After playfully performing a standard ladylike curtsy while holding the hem of his skirt, he picked up his things and hurried outside.
"... He really is a very energetic and decisive person."
Nagasaki Sōse kept staring at his back until he disappeared from sight.
"That's just the kind of person she is; she's never well-behaved at school."
"But that's great, now the band members are all together."
Takamatsu Akari's expression was gentle, and her happiness was clearly visible.
"What's next? Should we discuss the Mirai direction of the band? Or schedule a practice session?"
"Um~ Sorry!"
Nagasaki Sōse offered a polite but somewhat distant warm smile. "I suddenly remembered something today, so I'll head back now."
"Oh, I see. That's fine then. Have a safe trip..."
"Okay! Contact me again when it's time to meet up!"
After saying that, she picked up her things, left her seat where there was no food or drink, and walked straight outside.
As soon as she passed the edge of the coffee shop's glass window, her expression darkened, her eyes becoming deep and devoid of any sparkle.
Meanwhile, the Starry.
"Hey! Good morning, manager!"
"Huh? It's you. When did you get here? Why are you coming from behind?"
Seeing Sakurakoji Talent walking out from the back lounge, Ichiji Hoshika somewhat surprised, but not particularly curious.
"It was just a short while ago, I went over to put something away."
Reaching the bar, he glanced at the time again; only three minutes had passed since he said goodbye to Chihaya Aine and the others.
It's about the same time he usually comes here right after school.
As expected, having spatial abilities is so convenient!
After tidying up quickly, he began preparing for tonight's meal. Once everything was ready, he could sneak back to his apartment...
Ichiji Hoshika looked up at him, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
After a while, she typed and gently parted her red lips. "Did you have a good holiday?"
Well, let's leave it at that.
To be honest, I was quite happy. At least I got to travel and enjoy the scenery, received an unexpected bonus, and had a question that had been bothering me for a long time answered.
To say I was unhappy, well, I was unhappy, after all, these short eight or nine days were quite eventful and complicated...
Overall, however, it's still a very positive thing.
Where did you go these past few days?
"The group of umbrellas, the bell, the seven children, the two masters, the private Kyoto Uji."
"Oh, you mean the place that produces tea and matcha, right? I know."
"I'm so surprised, I didn't expect you to know that, manager."
"... Are you looking for a beating again?"
"Hehe, just kidding~ What about you guys, store managers?"
He brushed it off with a grin.
During the days he was absent from work, Ichiji Hoshika also took a break to give the Starry a vacation.
It's Golden Week, after all. Even if she doesn't rest, Ichiji Nijika and the others need to rest too. They can't keep doing his work for him.
"Nothing much, just like before: sleeping, eating and drinking with PA and the others, going to the amusement park with Nijika and the others... and so on."
"I'm so envious..."
"Hmm? What's so enviable about that? It's much more ordinary than your trip, isn't it?"
"You don't understand at all! Manager! All I want is this ordinary life!"
"Then just do it. Who's stopping you?"
"I... never mind, I can't explain it to you. I'm going to go cook."
As he turned to get to work, Ichiji Hoshika called out to him, "Wait!"
"What's wrong?"
He looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"..."
Ichiji Hoshika looked somewhat uneasy, her beautiful face, which was more mature and handsome than Ichiji Nijika's, flushed slightly as she hesitated and asked shyly, "... Are there any disposable hair ties left?"
With just one sentence, Sakurakoji Talent understood her meaning, and his eyebrows curved into a smile.
"Understood!"
"There were still quite a few left when I checked last time, they should still be there."
He took out the necessary tools from the cabinet, walked behind her, and gathered up her golden hair.
Feeling the tremors coming from above her head and back, Ichiji Hoshika felt a Shy and peaceful feeling in her heart.
After a few days without him tying her hair, she suddenly realized she seemed to be a little nostalgic for it.
Could it be that I really have feelings for him...?
No way! Ichiji Hoshika! He's the boy my sister likes! How could you do this!
No, no, no, it's just that I like his hairstyle, it has absolutely nothing to do with liking anything else!
Ultimately, I've never been in a relationship before, so I have no idea what liking someone feels like, especially considering the huge age difference between us...
While she was struggling to think about all of this, Sakurakoji Talent had already swiftly finished her work and tied her hair into a cascading half-up ponytail.
After doing all this, Sakurakoji Talent slowly lowered his head, a wicked smile curving his lips.
"Manager~ You always trouble me to do your hair, shouldn't you give me a reward?"
Ichiji Hoshika, who was admiring herself in her newly bought large mirror, paused for a moment, then slowly said, "... What kind of reward do you want? Juice, okay?"
"I've already graduated from that. I want something as sweet as fruit juice."
"That's... um!"
He covered her soft lips with one hand to prevent her from making any attractive noises, looked around to make sure it was safe, and then directly took her pink earlobe into his mouth.
He used a little force with Hands to stop her struggle, and in her dazed gaze, he indulged himself for a while.
Because the location was too sensitive, and to avoid being discovered, he only took a small part and didn't "torture" her too much.
In the end, he kissed her soft, fragrant cheeks and neck, then got up and left without hesitation.
All of this took no more than 30 seconds.
With his body providing cover, and the time being short, no one should notice anything unusual.
But it must be said, such a bold act is indeed very exciting!
"I'm off to work now~ Feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything!"
