What's Wrong with Adding Me to All These Omni-Anime Geniuses?

With very complicated questions and feelings, she embarked on her journey back to Chiba.

The next morning.

Good morning everyone! Did you have a great weekend?

Hanasakigawa High School Division, Class 1-B, Ogura Asahi strutted around with an air of nonchalance, doing a few fancy somersaults in the corridor with her hands on the ground, paying slight homage to someone, before making a dashing entrance into the classroom.

"Hi~ Hi~ Imai- kun, it's been a long time!"

"Sato -kun recently got her nails done? Her hair seems to have gotten a little shorter too~"

"Sasaki seems to have lost a little weight. Looks like his recent diet plan is working... Really, I promise you! His waist has definitely shrunk by 2 centimeters!"

"Takahashi -kun... Hmm, you haven't changed at all!"

"Abe- kun, how's your band doing lately? That bandmate who smashed his guitar and left last time... you kicked him out and replaced him? Yeah, that's right! That's how it should be done!"

"..."

After chatting with the group of classmates who had gathered around him as usual, Ogura Asahi returned to his seat, his mouth dry.

"Rikki ~ Is there any water? I want to drink some~"

Why should I give you my water?

Shiina Rikki turned around and gave him a cold look.

"Because I want to drink your water?"

"I'm not asking about your personal desires or thoughts!"

"Ugh, I hate it!"

He playfully poked her slender arm, "Aren't we the best teammates in the world right now?"

"A good teammate who can't even attend the regular meetings every day?"

Well, everyone has their own situation...

Shiina Rikki stared at him for a moment, then lowered her head and let out a soft exhale. "Ha..."

She took out a Drinks box with a panda printed on the packaging. "This is all we have. Want some?"

"Want!"

He snatched it, quickly pierced the seal, and took a deep breath. "Thank you!"

But then he frowned and said with displeasure, "Why is it mandarin orange flavored?"

Shiina Rikki rested her chin on her hand, her eyes gleaming with amusement as she teased, "Don't you like tangerines?"

"No, that's not it. I'm quite adaptable. It's just that drinking this makes me thirstier... Did Kairin give this to me?"

He said with certainty.

At the same time, he scoffed inwardly, "Ha, such a clumsy trap, they actually think they can get him to jump in?"

"I'm amazed you could guess that."

Sitting in the back seat, Hachiman Kairin spoke up to take over the conversation.

"After all, I know you like this."

"Do you know what flavor I like?"

Shiina Rikki glanced at it lightly, "If you can't answer, go ask Kairin for Drinks later."

"Hiss..."

"Snort!"

Shiina Rikki tossed his head, his flowing Black Stockings brushing against his cheek.

"Just kidding, it's too dangerous!"

He retreated just in time to dodge, his hand climbing up her back, twisting his fingers. "It's chocolate flavored, right?"

"..."

Shiina Rikki silent.

He neither said anything correct nor stopped the hand that was causing trouble behind his back; he just unconsciously started shaking his leg.

By the way, Hachiman Kairin knows her favorite flavor, but still always sends her her favorite mandarin orange flavor, and Shiina Rikki does the same thing—if you guys keep doing this, you'll really...

Seeing that she didn't react to his harassment, Ogura Asahi gave up on teasing her.

"How is it like joining the Rikki Band?"

A detached voice, devoid of any hint of envy, came from Hachiman Kairin.

He rested his chin on his hand, turned around, and blinked gently.

Speaking of which, she's just like Yukino Shita Yukino; she's cold-hearted... cold-natured.

If I hadn't insisted, she might still be calling me "Ogura-kun" right now... even though she Shiina Rikki "Rikki- san".

Well, that's also because he often skips class. A lover who only comes occasionally can't compare to someone you're with every day...

In other words, she kept her distance from everyone else except him and Shiina Rikki.

Whether it's Miyako Shizuka, who talks a lot, or the other people who might become her teammates in the Mirai, even if they join the same team, she will still address them by their surnames—just like Yukino Shita Yukino!

Add to that your similar family background, talents, and appearances, and you two are practically half-sisters!

In truth, considering their current relationship, he should have followed Nagasaki Sōse and tried to turn Bass tables on her, kicking her out of the team and replacing her with Shiina Rikki, who was closer to him and Hachiman Kairin...

But doing so would completely offend Nagasaki Sōse, and it would also be contrary to his long-term plans.

"Hmm... hard to say."

"Why?"

"Because we've only gotten together a handful of times."

"Whose fault do you think this is?"

Shiina Rikki's leisurely voice rang out from ahead, then she turned around speechlessly, her eyes listless. "No problem today?"

"If it were a little later..."

"It's decided then. You need to be at RiNG by 6 o'clock. I'll book the recording studio in advance!"

She made a quick decision, giving her no chance to discuss or object, and then turned back.

Ogura Asahi gave Hachiman Kairin a look that said, "Look at her, she's like a domineering tigress. How could I have been so blind to follow her..."

Hachiman Kairin shrugged and glanced sideways, offering no comment on their rivalry.

"Little Asahi has started playing in a band too! Now we have another topic to talk about."

The Miyako Shizuka on the left chuckled softly, finally opening her lips to make her presence known.

"Shizuka, you are still as authoritative and beautiful as ever today!"

Faced with her exceptional aura that set her apart from the rest of the class, he paused for a moment, then said, "But I still prefer your usual style of dress."

Perhaps because she started "mingling in society" and "being self-reliant" a few years ago, she possessed a maturity and composure that set her apart from the naiveté and naivety of others.

That kind of temperament isn't bad; he doesn't dislike it.

But then again, where is her half-sister who looks so much like her...? Should we check?

He froze, his body stiffening.

In that case, compared to his fabricated "siblings with the same father and mother" story, isn't her "half-sisters with the same face" even more outrageous?

Perhaps she's the one most accepting that Sakurakoji Talent and Ogura Asahi are two different people...

"Thank you, Little Asahi, you're adorable today too."

Miyako Shizuka looked down at her school uniform. "Isn't the school uniform cute? I think it's pretty good."

"It's alright, your usual stage outfits look better."

"No, those are business clothes after all, it's not fair to make such a comparison."

Miyako Shizuka cast a doting glance at her.

"..."

Hey, is it okay to look at your niece like that?

"Hey... Shizuka, do you have work or practice today?"

He returned to the important matter.

"Yes, it's still the same time, why?"

"Then I'll go with you. It's been a while since I've seen Mana."

"Sure, but is there something else you want to say?"

"Oh, so perceptive! No wonder you're Shizuka! A seasoned veteran of the underworld!"

Miyako Shizuka's expression changed slightly. "Really?... What is it?"

"It concerns the happiness of the three of us—you, me, and Mana— for a lifetime."

"Huh?!"

"..."

For lunch, he unusually didn't go to the Student Council Room or the courtyard outside—because it was raining.

Similarly, because it was raining... he very kindly slept in all morning.

The pattering rain, coupled with the teacher's deliberately lowered voice during class... it's the perfect sleeping environment, practically a super buff!

"Here, have this steak. Thank you for the Drinks you gave me this morning."

He picked out a slice of steak from his multi-layered lunchbox and gave it to Shiina Rikki.

"..."

At any other time, she would probably have refused with a haughty air, but this time she was very quiet.

Because the food he brought was really delicious... Shiina Rikki reluctantly buried his head in his rice.

In the cafeteria, he, Miyako Shizuka, Hachiman Kairin, Shiina Rikki, unusually, got together for lunch, taking the opportunity to strengthen their bond.

Apart from him, the other three had a very haphazard lunch.

Bringing their own lunch is fine, but sometimes they just go to the cafeteria to buy bread or buy Drinks from vending machines.

It's understandable that Miyako Shizuka and Hachiman Kairin both live alone, but Shiina Rikki... I wonder what her family situation is like; maybe her parents are both very busy with work.

Afternoon.

As the rain gradually subsided, Miyako Shizuka and he left the classroom.

Just as he stood up, Shiina Rikki reminded him again, "Don't forget tonight's practice!"

"Okay, okay."

He gave a perfunctory reply, then went up to the stage and slipped two snacks to the teacher as an apology. Amidst the cheers of his classmates for Miyako Shizuka and their envious comments, he walked out of the classroom.

Just as she was about to step out of the classroom, the Chinese language teacher seemed to remember something and quickly reminded her, "Oh, right! Ogura-kun!"

"Midterm exams are next week, don't forget to come to school... but it would be best if you did!"

Amidst the chatter of dozens of girls, he nodded with a slightly embarrassed forced smile and closed the classroom door.

Are you confident?

At the shoe cabinet, Miyako Shizuka jokingly inquired.

What do you mean?

"Exams, oh exams~ I wonder what a top student like you, Little Asahi, feels like before an exam."

"Ah, this... um, it's been so long since I've read a book, I'm probably a bit rusty."
