What's Wrong with Adding Me When There Are So Many Geniuses in Omni-Anime?
He snapped his fingers with a smile, feeling that he finally had a chance to prove himself!
Do you know how long I've been waiting for this moment? I've waited so long, and today has finally come...
"Hmm? Asahi-chan, what do you mean?"
Nagasaki Sōse tilted her head in confusion.
Apart from Shiina Rikki, the other three all had similar feelings.
"Her family is in the clothing industry, so she has been learning about this field since she was a child and also works part-time in this area."
Shiina Rikki rested her chin on her hand, her heart filled with alternating feelings of warmth and resentment.
"Huh? Is that so?!"
"Amazing!"
"Asahi -san, you're also busy with this kind of part-time job on a regular basis..."
Three pairs of wide, shocked eyes gazed at him with reverence, wishing they could immediately worship him.
If we were to draw an analogy, this person is practically the go-to guy for every group project and competition, the core member who produces the annual blackboard newspaper, and the super champion who leads the sports meet... an indispensable super talent in the Poor Band!
Although they are not short of money, they still hope to make their own team uniforms by their own Hands, which is one of the joys of being in a band.
"It's nothing, really, it's no big deal!"
He rubbed his nose with his index finger, raised his head and puffed out his chest, "There aren't any girls who can't sew or cook, are there? Really? Really?"
"Well..."
X N.
The attack dealt area-of-effect damage and immediately silenced all allies.
Shiina Rikki wanted to punch him when he saw his smug look, but there was nothing he could do about someone who truly had the confidence and qualifications to back it up.
"Don't worry, since PPP and AG next door made their own clothes, I'll make sure ours dazzle them too. The only problem is that you guys need to prepare well, so people don't say 'we're just a band with empty looks.'"
"Of course!"
Shiina Rikki hardened, his fists clenched, "And another thing! It's not AG, it's Afterglow!"
Uh, she still loves Afterglow so much, to the point that she blushes furiously if anyone mispronounces her name...
"If you really like them that much, I'll go get you a few autographed photos. Lan and Moca would probably be happy to give them to you."
"... Please."
Shiina Rikki, who had subconsciously intended to retort, "You're not allowed to be rude to Mitake- senpai and Aoba- senpai," found her words stuck in her throat and could only respond in a soft Shy voice.
By the way, is he really that close to the seniors at Afterglow? They address each other by name...
"Wait, why don't you call me 'senior'?"
Suddenly, her gaze sharpened, and she looked over with hostility.
"..."
"You...! They don't actually think you're a third-year student, do they?!"
She guessed with horror and shock.
"... Is there a problem?"
"What other questions are there! This is a deception, a complete deception!"
Shiina Rikki clutched her head and shook it violently. "If the seniors find out you've been deceiving them all this time! They'll hate you and all of us!"
Oh, so that's what it is.
Oh dear, you're overthinking it.
Ogura Asahi waved her hand dismissively, "You just think that way because you haven't interacted with them. Even if you were exposed, they wouldn't care. You've met Kasumi-senpai and the others, right? They all have similar personalities."
"No way! Next time you'll come with me to apologize!"
"Hey~ No way, and you'd better not say I'm a first-year student!"
"Why?!"
"That would make me look inferior to them! As the face of the band, I at least have to stand tall in front of them!"
"You... Popipa and the others clearly knew!"
"We'll keep it from as many as we can..."
"..."
Just before Shiina Rikki was about to be driven mad by him, Chihaya Aine interjected, eagerly raising her hand and saying, "Um, Asahi- senpai! I want to see the clothes you designed!"
"Sure, but wait a minute."
He took out his phone, categorized and locked the private photos that he couldn't show to outsiders, and then found the folder containing the pictures of clothing designs and opened it.
"Sorry to keep you waiting! Here, this is one of my previous works!"
"Oh wow~"
X N.
Not only Chihaya Aine and the others, but even Shiina Rikki, who was still angry just moments before, couldn't resist her curiosity and secretly slipped over to observe with her purple eyes.
You wouldn't believe it until you saw it; all four women fell silent.
The folder doesn't contain many clothes, but every single piece is a masterpiece.
From bold and avant-garde designs to flowing garments that defy comprehension, to intricately detailed works of art resembling aggregates of stars, and exquisite silks and satins, all evoking a sense of nostalgia for ancient Chinese clothing, and even so-called cosplay costumes...
"I don't understand it, but it's so amazing..."
"These were really designed by Senior Asahi? They're absolutely on par with professional designers! Absolutely!"
"Instead of playing in a band, shouldn't Asahi-chan consider making a full-time clothing line? These could totally be displayed in a high-end brand's boutique!"
"Well, it's not bad..."
He took the phone back from the last arrogant person, shrugged, and raised an eyebrow, as if expressing helplessness about his own talent.
"That's all for now. Leave the design and production to me, okay?"
"Yes! Yes!"
X 4.
The four nodded repeatedly like four quails, their eyes sparkling with brilliance.
Even if it's just to be able to wear this outfit, I can't give up on this live performance so easily...
"Very good, passed unanimously."
"Ah, that..."
Chihaya Aine glanced at Takamatsu Akari, who seemed hesitant, and quickly asked, "If we have Asahi -senpai make it, how much would it cost per person?"
Takamatsu Akari gave her a grateful look.
As the poorest member of the group and also the lead vocalist, she doesn't usually have to spend much money.
However, she still needs to spend her pocket money when it comes to things like meeting meals, renting venues, buying live tickets, or making clothes.
If it's really expensive, she'll have to consider starting a part-time job.
"Ah, you're right~"
Nagasaki Sōse clasped her hands together, seemingly lost in thought. "These materials in the photo don't look ordinary, do they? They're probably quite expensive?"
"The materials can be chosen according to your budget, but I can also not charge you. After all, we're a band, so this is nothing to me. And there's no need for a design fee either."
"No, that won't do! It's better to clarify things regarding the money!"
Chihaya Aine shook her head in refusal.
"That's right, this has nothing to do with whether you have money or not."
"That's what I think too."
Shiina Rikki, somewhat resistant to owing someone a favor.
Chapter 468 The blond beauty in Filia.
"Since you all say so..."
After a moment's thought, he agreed with their idea, "I understand. I will choose suitable raw materials, not too expensive and not too cheap, within everyone's budget."
It's not like it's a real, large-scale concert. Even if I wore one of those ridiculously expensive custom-made dresses, people would just say I was trying to attract attention.
Besides, he doesn't have time to make so many detailed clothes by himself; he also has to consider Kitagawa Marin.
Hey, at times like this, he desperately wants that special skill.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Asahi-chan!"
Nagasaki Sōse smiled gently, her expression tender and elegant.
"If there's anything we can help you with, please don't hesitate to ask. We'd feel bad if we entrusted everything to you."
"Yes, yes! After all, we're members of the same band!"
Chihaya Aine wholeheartedly agreed.
"Well, I don't know if I can be of any help..."
Shiina Rikki looked reluctant; she still lacked confidence in this kind of handicraft.
"I will try my best!"
Takamatsu Akari raised her small hand, and the light in her eyes was noticeably brighter than before.
However, Ogura Asahi was completely unmoved by this, simply replying, "The biggest help is that an outsider doesn't offer any assistance."
"..."
X 4.
A bucket of cold water was poured over their heads, leaving them extremely embarrassed.
But what he said is also true. If it's just for fun, that's one thing, but if you want to make nice clothes, you can't skimp on the details.
If you involve them, they might not even be able to cut the fabric properly, let alone sew the lines... You can tell without a rehearsal that it will be a complete mess, full of mistakes. It's better if he does it himself.
For a garment to be considered good, the size of the fabric and the stitching must be perfect, down to the millimeter—this is a long-standing family tradition.
Well, since it's just this kind of stage appearance, it's fine to do whatever. It's definitely better than their old non-mainstream outfits where they just draped half a piece of cloth over themselves on stage...
Seriously—of all the bands in our Bang Dream group, you guys really broke the record for the most pathetic performance.
While it's commendable that they were able to improvise and turn the situation around, even without the incident of Kanau cutting the fabric, their design, fabric selection, and fabric joining were still far too rough.
Despite receiving praise from Afterglow and the others, everyone could tell it was just polite talk and encouragement for the younger generation.
"Alright, don't worry. After all, Shirabe Rinko was the one who prepared the costumes in Roselia, so I'll try my best not to do any worse than her."
"Roselia? That's the band with amazing talent, always making a dazzling entrance and with gorgeous costumes, right?"
"Hmm, it seems like everyone inside has professional-level skills, they're really amazing!"
"I heard they recently signed contracts with a professional agency and successfully entered the professional world."
"Really?! That's really amazing! They've only just started university, right?"
"Yes, and the senior student, Udagawa Ako, is only a second-year high school student this year; she's also from our school."
"Wow..."
"Senior Asahi, do you still know Roselia and the others?"
Chihaya Aine made a sweaty soybean face.
"Just lucky, just lucky."
Was it really just luck...?
Meeting four pairs of questioning eyes, Ogura Asahi coughed lightly. "Of course, don't you believe me?"
"..."
The four remained silent, only staring at each other.
