Omnibus Anime: A Person in a Music Anime, Relaxed and Happy

"What's with that disappointed look on your face?"

Yui Hirasawa puffed out her cheeks in annoyance. They were old friends reuniting, yet Qiu-chan wasn't happy at all!

Oh, Qiu-chan must be a tsundere.

"Classmate Hirasawa, if possible, please don't shout Qiu-chan's name so loudly in public!"

Bai Qiu glanced around. The new students were all busy getting acquainted, and no one had noticed their commotion.

"Eh? But Qiu-chan is Qiu-chan!"

Yui Hirasawa looked innocent with her naive expression.

"If you keep calling me Qiu-chan, I might pretend not to hear you."

Bai Qiu said it with a serious expression, but it was just talk. This proved he and Yui Hirasawa were quite close.

He, a dignified man, didn't need such a cute nickname.

"But Qiu-chan sounds cute!"

It's because it's too cute…

Bai Qiu was speechless, but he looked at Yui, who was blinking her big eyes with a dazed, cute expression.

He sighed lightly. "I get it."

Yui Hirasawa grinned.

"Speaking of which, I didn't expect Little Qiu to be at this school too. But you came so late! I got to school at eight."

Yui Hirasawa looked proud, waiting for praise.

"Oh, but class doesn't start until nine. You came early because you got the time wrong, you dummy."

Bai Qiu stated the truth without mercy.

"Eh! How did you know!"

Yui Hirasawa covered her face.

Then she remembered Bai Qiu was still standing, so Yui Hirasawa pointed to the empty seat in front of her.

If Qiu-chan sits in front of me, he can block the teacher's line of sight.

Then I can sleep peacefully.

Bai Qiu didn't plan to sit there. Instead, he sat in the seat to Yui Hirasawa's right.

It wasn't by the window, but it was the last row, at least.

"Mmph… Mo, Little Qiu, you're really something."

Yui Hirasawa muttered, but she didn't mind.

She was content just being in the same class.

"Let's slack off together for the next three years, Little Qiu!"

Yui Hirasawa made a passionate invitation to Bai Qiu.

Bai Qiu's cheeks twitched, amazed by Yui Hirasawa's statement.

Yui Hirasawa, his classmate and deskmate for the past three years.

Dozing off, sleeping, and eating snacks during class, a frequent visitor to the teacher's office, not joining any clubs, going straight home after school…

But even so, Yui Hirasawa still managed to get into this school.

Perhaps it's talent!

Immediately, Bai Qiu said with a smug look, "I'm sorry, Yui, but I'm not the person I used to be."

"I've found a new goal."

"Eh? What is it?"

Yui Hirasawa asked curiously.

Naturally, it's forming a band,

Playing with girls… cough! Playing instruments,

Holding a live… pfft, holding a live show!

"It's not like I can't tell you. I plan to form a band."

Bai Qiu said, telling Yui Hirasawa, perhaps he could also guide her to join the Light Music Club sooner.

Yui Hirasawa pondered the slightly unfamiliar term.

A short-haired girl in the seat to Bai Qiu's right looked over, her expression tinged with sadness.

But she quickly averted her gaze, lost in her own world.

"Ahaha, Little Qiu, you're joking again!"

"You said last year at this time that you wanted to become a Light Novel master."

Yui Hirasawa waved her hand, chuckling dismissively.

In Yui Hirasawa's eyes, Bai Qiu was clearly a fellow comrade in slacking off.

He also didn't join any clubs, went straight home after school, slept in class, and played on his phone...

Seriously, Qiu-chan is still so fond of joking.

"Tsk, you just wait and see."

"Okay~"

Seeing that Yui Hirasawa didn't believe him, Bai Qiu didn't bother to explain.

He wasn't going to tell Yui Hirasawa that he had already become a moderately famous Light Novel author.

A Light Novel author couldn't just casually reveal their true identity.

Especially an author like him, whose reputation in the industry was currently not very favorable.

To alleviate financial pressure, Bai Qiu had chosen the traditional "copycat" method.

In Yui Hirasawa's eyes, they were good friends who slacked off together.

But in reality, it wasn't like that.

He was silently growing stronger.

Temporarily ignoring Yui Hirasawa, Bai Qiu sat down and observed his surroundings.

Everyone was trying hard to make new friends, fearing they might end up at the bottom of the class's social hierarchy.

However, the atmosphere seemed quite good.

Perhaps this was the advantage of a Music Anime world.

Everyone here was a good person!

And the seat in front of him was still empty.

To his right, however, was a girl who looked very quiet.

But, it was the very first day of school.

Unlike other desks that were completely visible, her desk was covered with many strange little objects.

This successfully piqued Bai Qiu's curiosity.

Stickers? Band-aids, a notebook, even small stones?

An interesting woman.

This thought popped into Bai Qiu's mind.

At this moment, the girl with short gray hair seemed to notice Bai Qiu's gaze.

She turned her head and proactively greeted him:

"H-hello, my name is Takamatsu Tomo. Please... take care of me."

Takamatsu Tomo turned her head, and Bai Qiu could finally see her completely.

Amber eyes, fair cheeks.

Her voice sounded a little timid, but very pleasant.

"Hello, I'm Bai Qiu. Please take care of me."

Bai Qiu was stunned for a moment, then responded with a smile.

What a cute girl, like a little animal!

She'll probably be the class pet!

But Yui has a good chance too.

As expected of a Music Anime world, even a random side character classmate is a beautiful girl.

At the same time, Bai Qiu had a slight guess in his heart, could it be...

Could this child be trying to get everyone's attention in this special way, like Goto Hitori, to make friends with everyone?

Yeah, that's it.

I'll leave it to him to make friends with cute girls.

Takamatsu Tomo nodded gently, recalling Bai Qiu looking at her desk earlier.

Takamatsu Tomo picked up a band-aid and tentatively asked:

"D-do you want this?"

"Huh? Can I?"

It was a bit sudden, but Bai Qiu still took the band-aid.

Seeing that Bai Qiu accepted it, Takamatsu Tomo became a little happy, nodding like a little chick pecking at rice, "Mhm mhm!"

"Thanks, this is a Gentoo penguin, right?"

Bai Qiu looked at the band-aids, analyzing with his extensive extracurricular knowledge.

"Eh! You know them!"

Takamatsu Tomo's tone rose, sounding somewhat excited, as if she had found a fellow enthusiast.

"Yeah, because the tops of these penguins' heads look like they're wearing hats, they're really cute, so I remembered,"

Seeing how happy Takamatsu Tomo was, Bai Qiu felt good too, while inwardly sighing at his own vast knowledge.

Takamatsu Tomo, meanwhile, picked up the rest of the band-aids on the table.

"This is an Adélie penguin... this is a Chinstrap penguin, and a King penguin, a Rockhopper penguin, and a Magellanic penguin. Do you want any?"

Takamatsu Tomo introduced the band-aids with penguin designs to Bai Qiu, much like a two-dimensional enthusiast spreading the gospel.

Sensing Takamatsu Tomo's demeanor.

Bai Qiu was slightly taken aback. Cough cough! He took back his previous thought.

It seemed this girl wasn't a shut-in like Bocchi-chan.

"That probably wouldn't be good... these should be ones you worked hard to collect, right?"

A gentleman does not take what another likes.

Although band-aids weren't valuable items, Bai Qiu knew it must have taken some effort to collect so many different designs.

It was like how some people collect cards.

"Yeah, but! It's okay."

Takamatsu Tomo looked at Bai Qiu expectantly.

Looking at Takamatsu Tomo's small-animal-like eyes and cute cheeks.
