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

Volume 1: The Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 106 School is About to Start, A Normal Girl's Room

One hour later,

On the dining table at the Kogisora Family's house.

"What is this...?" Kogisora Takhiro took a bite of the food in front of him and exclaimed loudly. "Five Ants!"

Where did you come from, you blond swordsman?

Sakurakoji Talent thought to himself, then silently ate a bite of food.

"Really?" Kogisora Akina took a bite of Tempura, couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaim softly, her gaze turning to Sakurakoji Talent.

"Sakurakoji-kun's cooking skills are really amazing."

"Right, right?" Kogisora Yukina puffed out her chest proudly, as if she were the one who had cooked.

"How dare you say that? Don't you even look at yourself? What do you have that compares to Sakurakoji-kun?" Kogisora Akina sighed, feeling worried about her daughter's Mirai for the first time.

"Comparing myself to Talent-kun is too much to ask..." Kogisora Yukina was troubled.

"But now I finally believe that Sakurakoji-kun really is a chef." Kogisora Akina rubbed her cheek with a frustrated expression, then picked up another piece of Teriyaki Chicken and put it in her mouth.

"So didn't I already say that!"

"But it's really hard to believe."

"Not at all, it was just something I did casually, Auntie, you flatter me," he humbly declined.

"No, the food today was really delicious, wasn't it, honey?"

"Well, I think you can be proud of your skills." Even though he wasn't planning on praising her, after being asked, Kogisora Susumu had no choice but to offer genuine compliments.

Although the ingredients and seasonings are all common household items, for some reason, the taste is exceptionally good, comparable to the signature dishes of star-rated hotels.

Even he, who could barely be considered well-informed, traditional, taciturn, and not fond of expressing himself, had to admit that this guy was almost perfect in every way.

"I'm glad my aunt and uncle are happy. I still have a lot to learn and improve."

Is he this humble in personality as well? Kogisora Susumu's eyes were complicated.

Although he has always adopted a semi-managed, semi-independent approach to his children's education, and they have always performed well, he is now beginning to reflect on whether his previous methods were wrong.

Needless to say, Kogisora Akina looked at him with eyes full of "love," wishing she could adopt him as her godson right now!

"Speaking of which, Sakurakoji-kun is currently working, which means you're not in school, right? Do you have any plans to do that in the future?"

Suddenly realizing this, Kogisora Susumu asked with concern.

"Yes, that's how it is." Sakurakoji Talent's movements paused slightly, but he quickly resumed as before.

"Because I only returned two months ago, I haven't been studying in Japan yet, but I will go back after the start of the next semester."

"Oh right, the school system in the America is different from that in Japan," Kogisora Akina chimed in.

Kogisora Yukina and Kogisora Takhiro, standing nearby, remained silent, focusing solely on eating while eavesdropping.

"Hmm, so you'll stop working next semester?" Kogisora Susumu asked.

"No, because our work hours are mainly in the evenings, so it's fine to start after school." He shook his head.

"Huh? Won't this be too tiring? And won't it affect your studies?" Kogisora Akina asked with concern.

"Probably not. I'm quite confident in my studies, and the work there isn't actually that tiring. In fact, I don't have much to do at night."

"Since you say so, I suppose there's nothing to worry about." Kogisora Susumu nodded.

Sakurakoji Talent looked at him with some surprise, not expecting him to trust him so much.

"Eh? Talent-kun is going to school? Which school?" Upon hearing the topic she was interested in, Kogisora Yukina quickly asked.

"Hmm... that's a secret, but not about Houjou." Upon hearing this question, Sakurakoji Talent's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

"So stingy~ But it's such a pity, if we were in Houjou we could see each other every day." She looked genuinely regretful.

"I'm sorry, but this was decided a long time ago, and there's nothing I can do about it." Sakurakoji Talent smiled awkwardly.

"There's no need to apologize for such a small thing."

But, the school?

If they hadn't brought it up today, he would have almost forgotten that today is March 23rd, and in about a week, he will officially start school.

In addition to his current daily tasks, he will also have to attend school, which will probably make him even busier than he is now, and his burden will become even heavier.

Damn it, life is really treating him like Japan!

How can he get even busier when he's already like this?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but bite the chopsticks he was holding in his mouth.

However, this was a decision he had made himself, so he couldn't blame anyone else. With a sigh inwardly, he continued eating as if nothing had happened.

"How is it?" Kogisora Yukina, looking at him.

"Well, how should I put it? She has the air of an ideal girl, doesn't she?" Sakurakoji Talent surveyed the room's layout and gave her assessment.

"Hmm... the way you put it... it feels a bit off..."

After finishing his meal and helping with the dishes, he went to Kogisora Yukina's room on the second floor at her invitation.

"Well, this is the first time I've ever seen such a standard, normal girls' room."

This is true. Although he has met many women so far, and most of them are high-level women with excellent looks, he has actually been to the rooms of very few of them.

My sister and Relatives are obviously not normal people. In addition to being high-end and expensive, the furnishings in their rooms are also extremely uniform in style, either modern or retro, leaving no detail overlooked.

Although you can see the atmosphere of daily life, it's more like a small Art Exhibition Hall than a residential building.

Apart from that, he hadn't even entered the homes of many of the people he knew outside.

Although he was quite familiar with the group of people from Starry, he had never actually been to their homes, nor had he been to Aoyama Nanami and Hoshino Ai's previous Small Apartment.

The only places I've actually visited are Inoseri Nina and Kawaragi Momoka in Kawasaki, and Shiina Mahiru's house in Fuchu City.

Inoseri Nina's apartment was small and empty, because there was nothing there when she first moved in;

Kawaragi Momoka's previous room was quite nice, tidy, clean, and fully equipped, but the bookshelves and surrounding area were mostly filled with records and music-related equipment, and there wouldn't normally be a kitchen counter or sofa in the room;

Shiina Mahiru's room... that's such a room, it has no personality at all, it seems to be just a place to eat, read, and sleep, it needs to be properly remodeled and adjusted.

From this perspective, this pink-themed room, filled with dolls, a wardrobe, a dressing table, Group Photo of friends on the wall, a desk piled high with personal belongings, and many other "ordinary" items, is probably what most people would consider a normal girl's room, right?

Moreover, there was a faint fragrance in the air, though it was unclear whether it was from Aromatherapy perfumes or household products such as Body Wash and shampoo.

Overall, it's very reassuring.

"Hey, Talent-kun has been to a lot of other girls' rooms too."

Sakurakoji Talent stopped looking around and slowly turned to her, as if he could see a few dark lines behind her cheerful smile.

"Actually, I haven't been to many places, and they're all too individualistic."

For some reason, even though there was nothing there, he felt a little nervous, afraid that she might suddenly pull out something shiny from behind her.

"I know, Talent-kun is definitely very popular." She pouted slightly, her tone a little sullen, but quickly returned to normal.

"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. Please, make yourself at home."

"Ha..." He Kokoro sat down at the Small Table on the floor, trying to break the silence, his gaze falling on the photos on the wall.

"Speaking of which, the photo on the wall, is that of your friend, Yukina?"

"Interested?" Kogisora Yukina sat down next to him, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at him with Little Devil expression.

"... Please speak."

"Since you put it that way, then let me explain it to you."

But he soon regretted it.

"..."

"..."

"And then, the boy who confessed his feelings to me had a girl who had a crush on him since the beginning of junior high school."

"..."

"Even Marina, Hidemi, and Junko have suddenly stopped talking to me..."

"..."

"That's what happened when I was in my third year of junior high. Do you understand?" She looked at Sakurakoji Talent, whose eyes were already lifeless, and asked urgingly.

After Sakurakoji Talent agreed, she spent over an hour telling him about her past friends in the photos and their stories.

"I understand," he said, snapping out of his reverie. "I understand that this is the unfortunate situation of a lovely girl who was once loved by everyone and had many friends, but was forced into isolation by Cliques because of two unrequited loves."

"This shows that love is poison and should not exist in middle schools."

"Middle school students should all be studying! Ooh-lo-ya-lu!"

"... Um, how exactly do you interpret what I just said in this way, Talent-kun?" Kogisora Yukina was speechless, sweat beading on her forehead, looking at him with a dark expression.

Isn't that right?

"That's not entirely wrong... Ah, never mind." She sighed.

After that matter was put behind them, the two started talking about something else.

Half an hour later, seeing that it was almost time, he said goodbye.

"You'll definitely come again next time!"

Goodbye, Sakurakoji- Bro!

"Goodbye, Sakurakoji-kun."

"I apologize for disturbing you today. See you next time, everyone." After bowing slightly, Sakurakoji Talent, escorted by Kogisora Yukina, left the Kogisora Family.

"I'm sorry, my family is so noisy." After walking a distance, Kogisora Yukina apologized to him.

"No, my aunt and uncle and my brother Takhiro were very welcoming, I'm very grateful."

"Hehe, it's great that you think that way!" She walked ahead, Hands behind her back, laughing as she twirled in circles.

"Thank you for your help today, Talent-kun. I'll definitely go to 'STARRY' for a show again next time."

You are welcome anytime.

"I might bring my mother and the others with me then, so you'd better behave yourself!"

"Since you've put it that way, it seems I have no choice but to work hard."

"Ha ha..."

After walking a few hundred meters, Sakurakoji Talent stopped her from continuing.

That's enough for now, see you next time.

"Okay, goodbye."

The two stared at each other for two seconds, a faint emotion swirling in the air, but soon he waved his hand, turned around, and walked towards the next place.

Just like last time, Kogisora Yukina watched him disappear around the corner.

Volume 1: The Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 107 Conspiracy, Plan, Concern

Some time after leaving the Kogisora Family, Sakurakoji Talent received a phone call.

It's not a work-related issue, nor is it a family matter.

Rather, it was a task he had assigned a few days ago, and now there was a response.

"Thanks for your hard work."
