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

Speaking of which, through the System, I learned that Takamatsu Tomo seems to be in a band.

Handing the diary back to Takamatsu Tomo, Bai Qiu asked:

"Did Akari write this?"

"Are these lyrics?"

"Mhm, they are... lyrics."

Takamatsu Tomo responded softly, these were both lyrics and her diary.

"Akari's lyrics are amazing."

Bai Qiu asked again.

"Are you in a band, Akari?"

Takamatsu Tomo was silent for a moment, but she didn't want to lie to her friend.

"I was, but... the band..."

"It's already disbanded..."

Bai Qiu: "..."

This time, Bai Qiu truly felt it, a sad and negative aura emanating from Takamatsu Tomo, as if it could engulf him too.

There was also an invisible pressure that felt like it was trying to swallow him in as well.

Although he was a little curious about why the band broke up.

Bai Qiu thought that asking further would definitely be stepping on a landmine.

After finally resolving the previous issue, let's just get through this day safely!

"I see..."

Change the subject, change the subject.

What should I say? Bai Qiu's brain spun rapidly.

"Is there a seventh edition of this?"

Bai Qiu took out the marine creature band-aids from earlier.

Takamatsu Tomo looked up and thought for a moment.

"The seventh edition... it'll be next month. Do you want it, Aki? I'll buy it then!"

"Please get me one too!"

Bai Qiu said joyfully, sighing in relief.

Although Akari still looked a bit down, that invisible pressure had at least disappeared.

Due to the chase earlier, the two had arrived at the sports field.

There was no intention of returning to the Astronomy Club.

Bai Qiu and Takamatsu Tomo walked towards the school gate together, preparing to leave.

After exiting the school gate, Bai Qiu suggested:

"How about we go to a nearby dessert shop?"

Bai Qiu explained again:

"Consider it an apology for chasing you earlier and causing you to fall.

However, Takamatsu Tomo shook her head desperately, repeatedly stating that she fell on her own and it had nothing to do with Bai Qiu.

Bai Qiu then said he was also thankful to Akari for the many interesting band-aids.

Please give him a chance.

Finally, Takamatsu Tomo did not refuse.

Bai Qiu planned that he could take this opportunity to comfort her.

They arrived at the dessert shop.

Takamatsu Tomo ordered a hot mocha, and Bai Qiu added a cake for her.

Bai Qiu himself ordered an iced grass jelly and french fries.

The two chatted for a while and finished their food.

Then they prepared to leave.

As they were leaving, Bai Qiu packed some fried chicken, planning to have it as a side dish for dinner tonight.

They arrived at a fork in the road.

Just as Bai Qiu was about to wave goodbye to Akari.

A figure located behind Akari first caught Bai Qiu's attention.

That figure was staring at the two of them.

Bai Qiu exclaimed in surprise, and saw Yamada Ryo crouching in a pile of grass behind Takamatsu Tomo.

Takamatsu Tomo turned around with a hint of confusion.

When she saw someone in the grass.

It wasn't fear, but curiosity.

Was this person collecting small stones like her?

Yamada Ryo first looked at Bai Qiu and replied indifferently, "Yeah, what a coincidence."

Then Ryo's gaze shifted to Takamatsu Tomo beside him.

And to Tomo, the voice sounded cold.

Her expression was blank, her eyes as calm as still water.

And the unknown book and weeds in her hand?

Why the question marks? Because Takamatsu Tomo was confused.

But it was clear that Takamatsu Tomo knew their interests were different.

Takamatsu Tomo suddenly felt a little nervous because it reminded her of a former member of CRYCHIC.

She didn't know how to respond, but the other person was Qiu's friend.

Takamatsu Tomo still mustered the courage to nod politely at Yamada Ryo.

"Hello, I'm Takamatsu Tomo. Please take care of me."

"Mhm, Yamada Ryo. Just call me Ryo."

Takamatsu Tomo was slightly surprised.

But it didn't prevent the conversation from abruptly ending.

So, Takamatsu Tomo looked at Bai Qiu, "Well, Qiu-kun, I'll be going now."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Bai Qiu nodded.

Takamatsu Tomo ran off, feeling a bit melancholic.

It felt like today had brought back too many memories of CRYCHIC.

Glancing at the departing Takamatsu Tomo.

Yamada Ryo looked slightly confused, why did the other person seem a little afraid of her?

But it didn't matter, didn't that make her seem unique?

Thinking this, Yamada Ryo's lips curved into a smile.

She then looked back at Bai Qiu.

To be precise, she was looking at the food Bai Qiu was carrying.

Yamada Ryo had seen him coming out of the dessert shop.

Bai Qiu also watched Yamada Ryo with amusement.

Tomo didn't know what book Yamada Ryo had, but Bai Qiu did.

The Illustrated Guide to Edible Plants.

Yamada Ryo stared directly into Bai Qiu's eyes, her hand holding the weeds stroking her stomach.

As if hinting at something.

The two remained still, glaring at each other for a while.

Yamada Ryo, feeling a bit low on energy, couldn't hold back anymore. Shouldn't you be curious and ask me what I'm doing right now?!

"Why aren't you talking?"

"I'm waiting for you to eat grass."

Yamada Ryo's pupils contracted slightly, and she said pitifully, "I've been eating weeds for days, I'm so hungry now."

"Then hurry up and eat your grass."

Bai Qiu smiled politely. Compared to watching a show, he wanted to see a live broadcast.

Yamada Ryo's gaze sharpened. Doesn't this guy have any sympathy?

"Little Qiu, we're teammates, right?"

"So, it's only right to help a teammate in distress, isn't it?"

"Hmm... that makes sense."

Bai Qiu pondered, nodding, then raised the bag in his hand.

"Ryo, this is fried chicken."

Yamada Ryo's eyes lit up; what she urgently needed right now was energy-rich meat.

However, Bai Qiu's next sentence dashed her hopes.

"But I'm sorry, Ryo."

"I can't give it to you."

"This is my dinner."

"If I give it to you, I'll only have nutrient-poor instant noodles tonight."

"You wouldn't want to see me eat that kind of thing either, would you?"

After speaking, Bai Qiu suddenly felt the last sentence was a bit unnecessary.

Yamada Ryo fell silent. I don't care if you eat instant noodles or not.

No, I care a lot.

Because I don't even have instant noodles.

"So, Ryo, are you still eating grass?"

Yamada Ryo lowered her head, pretending to be very disappointed and unwilling to deal with him.

"Then... I'll be going now?"

Bai Qiu asked tentatively, receiving no reply.

"Goodbye, Ryo."

Bai Qiu left as he said he would.
