What's Wrong with Adding Me When There Are So Many Geniuses in Omni-Anime?

"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.

Even so, it's important to exercise your desire to express yourself appropriately to avoid making the other person uncomfortable.

"..."

Not only was Kōsaka Reina, who asked the question, slightly stunned and silent, the other six people were also a little dumbfounded. Some were impressed but didn't understand, some thought it made a lot of sense, and some applied it to themselves, resting their chins on their hands and thinking.

After a moment, Kōsaka Reina asked again in a slightly lower voice, "So, do you think you, Himemiya student, are a special person?"

"Snort!"

Speaking of this, he was no longer sleepy, gently opened his eyes, and found it quite amusing.

"Of course! I've always done what I wanted to do. I studied when I wanted to study, played music when I wanted to play music, skipped classes when I wanted to skip classes, and worked as much as I wanted to work..."

"So even though my life isn't very long, I've always felt that I'm a very special and free person!"

"Hey! Don't teach our school kids weird things!"

Tanaka Asuka turned around, grabbed his collar, and swayed him back and forth, her glasses reflecting the light.

"What if they really follow your example and start skipping classes all the time? How are you going to take responsibility for that?!"

"That has nothing to do with me. They're not children anymore; they should be able to distinguish right from wrong and make their own decisions..."

"Don't make it sound like a disclaimer!"

"..."

"Thanks."

After thanking him, and without caring whether he heard her arguing with the neighbor, Kōsaka Reina sat down again.

Her icy skin, as beautiful as a snow maiden's, now carried a layer of thoughtfulness, a far cry from her previous Flower on High Mountain and unattainable demeanor.

"Kousaka student, you're really bold. After all, she's a third-year student just like Asuka and the others, and her musical instrument skills are so amazing..."

Kumiko Oumae whispered her admiration for her.

"Um?"

Kōsaka Reina looked at her in surprise, "Oumae, is there anything you're afraid to do?"

"Huh?"

"No, that's not being bold, it's having a terrible personality?"

Her slender, white fingers rested on her chin as she considered correcting her earlier statement.

Huh?

Kumiko Oumae's eye twitched, her expression troubled. "Do you have some misunderstanding about me...?"

No~

Kōsaka Reina shook her head. "Have you forgotten about the junior high school tournament..."

"..."

"Ha ha..."

On the other side, Nakasako Kaori could only smile wryly at the two bickering in front of her. Seeing that they showed no sign of stopping, she couldn't help but interrupt them, "Does Himemiya student work part-time?"

Upon hearing her voice, Himemiya Chihaya and Tanaka Asuka immediately ended their battle, sat up straight, and straightened their clothes.

He took a sip of coffee before answering her question, "Yes, I do. My living expenses and travel money are all earned through part-time jobs."

"Wow..."

"Wow, you're amazing..."

"Really? You have six arms and three heads?"

Tanaka Asuka couldn't help but express her shock.

"So, what kind of work do you usually do? Is it part-time?"

Nakasako Kaori's face trembled; she felt a bit pressured as she asked the question...

"Both part-time and full-time positions are available..."

"There's more than one?!"

"For example, music-related jobs include tuning, composing, playing, cleaning and maintaining equipment; in addition, there are Pastry Chef in some places, and... in short, it's a very diverse range of jobs."

He listed a few examples, but didn't tell them all. He was afraid they wouldn't be able to handle it, and also afraid they wouldn't believe him if he told them.

Even so, the people present were stunned.

The first-year students, who had already stopped talking, stared at him in complete silence.

"Then, how will you go to school? What about the school?"

Ogasawara Haruka swallowed hard and asked incredulously.

This existence and way of life had exceeded her imagination.

But if that's true, then studying wouldn't be possible either, right?

"I haven't been to school much lately, but my grades are pretty good. As long as you have solid grades, our school isn't too strict about attendance, so don't worry."

"..."

X N.

Tanaka Asuka rested her chin on her hand, head bowed, contemplating whether she should quickly lead her companions away from him to prevent them from being contaminated.

"Wait a minute! So you're saying that all the money you gave as a prize was earned from your part-time job?!"

She suddenly remembered this and slammed her hand on the table in shock.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"You even asked what happened... You just used it all up like that, don't you feel bad? That was money you worked so hard to earn!"

"There's nothing wrong with that, everyone got to be happy, didn't they?"

He shrugged nonchalantly, "Money is something you're meant to spend anyway; I'm just choosing how I like to use it."

"... What about the car?"

"I borrowed it."

He made things up off the cuff, just spouting nonsense.

Anyway, it's based on Himemiya Chihaya's character design, so what does it have to do with Sakurakoji Talent?

"..."

X N.

At this moment, the group gained a deeper understanding of what he had just said.

It turns out he wasn't just talking...

"There really are people who live such carefree lives? She thought such people only existed in TV dramas..." Kōsaka Reina stared at him with a speechless expression, feeling a tightness in her chest.
