Crossover Anime: I'm Kasumigaoka Utaha's Brother

Page 41

Upon hearing their eldest sister's words, the members of the rouge-en-rouge guild all paled slightly.

However... Akane's next words made them roar with excitement, as if they'd been injected with adrenaline: "If you can hold on until today, everyone can come to me and get a copy of the [Love Live!] manga! And I also have videos of Hyakusato-sensei teaching the other teachers! You should know what that means!"

Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief—of course they knew!

Teachers like Kashiwagi Eri achieved their current success thanks to the guidance of Hyakusei-sensei!

Just completing post-production work on original drawings for artists like Eri Kashiwagi can improve their drawing skills. Imagine if they could see videos of Hyakusei-sensei teaching... (transfer group)

"Hooray! Big Sister! Don't worry! We'll definitely complete the mission perfectly today!"

"Haha! Although I can't get personal guidance from Professor Hyakuri, it's still great to be able to watch his teaching videos! That way, my drawing skills will catch up with Professor Kashiwagi Eri and the others sooner or later!"

"Are you still half asleep? You want to surpass Kashiwagi Eri-sensei? That's impossible!"

"Five thousand? I wouldn't be afraid even if fifty thousand came!"

Seeing that the club members' enthusiasm had been fully mobilized, Akane Akasaka smiled slightly and waved to Iori Hashima, who was standing to the side: "I'll leave everything to you from now on!"

“Yes, Ms. Kousaka.” Iori Hashima bowed respectfully, then, as if remembering something, a troubled smile appeared on her face: “Ms. Kousaka, may I ask you a question?”

"Say!"

"Because I've been so busy lately, I haven't had time to visit my sister, Chukai, at Hyakusato-sensei's. I wonder how Chukai is doing now..." Hashima Iori's smile faded. He looked around, and when he realized no one was paying attention to him, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Chukai's current relationship with Hyakusato-kun..."

Akane Akasaka was taken aback at first, then stared at Iori Hashima with a half-smile: "Do you really want to push your sister out like that?"

"Of course, I can't let Baili-kun, such a good man, miss out on this during my sea voyage!" Hashima Iori said seriously. If Hashima Iori were here, she would probably shyly give her brother a "German-style back throw"!

"Well, everything's going well. Just focus on your work and wait for good news about the sea voyage!" Akane Akasaka said as she walked out. Hearing her words, Iori Hashima breathed a sigh of relief.

But he didn't know... Akane Kousaka only said that so that he would do the work that was originally Akane Kousaka's responsibility in the club...

Time quietly shifted to eight o'clock, the moment the doors of the rouge-en-rouge club opened!

Not only that, but Shinazugawa Bunko, a bookstore under the Chishima Publishing Group, also opened its doors at the same time!

The Love Live! manga is now officially on sale!

Chapter 0112 Idol City, We're Back! (2/3, Please Subscribe)

The day the Love Live! manga was released was the busiest time for Shinazugawa Bunko, the rouge-en-rouge circle, and Chishima Publishing.

Machida Sonoko and Akasaka Akane, who were important figures, abandoned the bustling sales event and came to Kasumigaoka's house.

Their goal is none other than the Muses!

"Nozomi-chan! How are you doing today? I'm here to watch your training again!" As soon as she entered the room, Machida Sonoko's eyes lit up when she saw Tojo Nozomi dressed in a bright and cheerful girl's outfit. She rushed over, but was stopped by the former without hesitation.

"Miss Sonoko, could you please stop calling me Nozomi-chan?" Tojo Nozomi looked at Machida Sonoko with a helpless expression. It was rare for her, who was known as the "Muse's strategist," to be completely helpless against the latter.

Just yesterday, when Machida Sonoko came to Hyakuri Akira to discuss some issues with the Love Live! manga, Tojo Nozomi was leading the team in training.

Under the sunlight, Nozomi Tojo, unusually, wore a serious expression. While clapping and loudly counting "1, 2, 3...", she sharply pointed out who in the group wasn't dancing correctly, whose posture wasn't good, and whose rhythm was too fast...

This scene seems to have touched a nerve with Machida Sonoko, making her instantly fall for Tojo Nozomi and become her devoted fan... a fangirl nearing thirty, well, that's something else...

"Isn't Nozomi-chan nice? Hey, I'm your fan now! Your first fan! Idol, please take a picture with me!" Machida Sonoko picked up her phone, leaned affectionately against Tojo Nozomi, and snapped a photo of the two of them.

Nozomi Tojo shook her head with a wry smile: "Ms. Sonoko, we still have a very important new song to practice today, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Machida Sonoko interrupted her: "It's okay, it's okay! I'll just watch from the side, I absolutely, absolutely won't bother you!"

"Well... alright." Nozomi Tojo sighed inwardly, glancing around the living room. She noticed the rest of Muse were all watching her, smirking—it's great for an idol to be liked by fans, but if those fans are close to you, that's not so good...

"Alright!" Baili Xiao, dressed in sportswear, walked downstairs, her hands clapping together to attract everyone's attention: "You've all trained very well in terms of posture, smile, dance steps, sense of rhythm, and so on. Today is your last day here. I will teach you the songs you need to sing at the August Comic Con and the corresponding dance steps. Go back and practice hard, and then... you will debut as real idols!"

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Muse has already spent six days here. Today is the last training session, and at 3 p.m., they will take the booked plane back to Idol City.

The entire Muse team's eyes shone brightly as they nodded vigorously at Baili Xiao: "Yes, teacher! We will definitely not let you down!"

Half a day later.

"They're leaving already..." Baili Xiao said softly as she watched the plane slowly leave the runway, then turned her gaze to Machida Sonoko, who looked dejected: "Don't be disappointed. It's not like they're not coming back. At the latest, you'll be able to see your Nozomi again when the anime convention starts."

Bai Lixiao was a little confused as to why Machida Sonoko had become a fan of Tojo Nozomi, but he didn't think about asking her directly. Everyone can find their own shortcomings or deficiencies in others. Perhaps Machida Sonoko became a fan because she found some qualities in Tojo Nozomi that she didn't have.

"It's only the beginning of July, and there's still more than a month until the anime convention starts, um..." In front of Baili Xiao, Machida Sonoko, although she is the older sister, acts more like the younger sister.

“Back in college, Sonoko and I joined a manga club, and the club president was a girl like Tojo Nozomi. Sonoko (aeej) and she were very close... Perhaps that’s why?” Akane Akasaka, standing next to Hyakuri Akira, chuckled and revealed the reason why Sonoko liked Tojo Nozomi. Naturally, she received a “glare” from Machida Sonoko.

"That's really... quite a good relationship!" Baili Xiao smiled meaningfully and walked out of the airport first: "Let's go! When the Muse returns, that will be the moment they shine!"

...

Sitting by the window, Nan Xiaoniao kept staring out the window. She couldn't see Baili Xiao and the others, and even the huge airport had disappeared, but she remained in that position for a long time.

"Kotori, what are you thinking about?" Honoka nudged Minami Kotori's arm. The latter shuddered, snapping out of her reverie, and shook her head with a dry laugh: "Nothing, nothing."

In fact, it's not just Minami Kotori who's in this state; the other members of the Muse are the same as her—except for the carefree Honoka!

During their training at the studio, not only did Baili Xiao teach everyone a lot, but Kasumigaoka Utaha, Eriri, and others also helped them very enthusiastically.

The relaxed and pleasant atmosphere in the studio, coupled with the smiles on everyone's faces every day, left a deep impression on all the members of Muse.

Minami Kotori couldn't possibly be the only one who thought, "I really want to join the studio right now!"

"Alright, alright, everyone, stop being so silent, it's so awkward!" Honoka knelt on her seat and leaned out to look at Rin Hoshizora and the others behind her—the plane was already flying smoothly, so such a movement was allowed.

"Yes, meow! Everyone, cheer up! Teacher Baili has made so many great songs for us, so our training is going to be really tough, meow!" Xingkong Lin made a "meow punch" gesture with her hands and waved them a few times in the air.

"What does the training have to do with anything! I get so excited every time I think about becoming idols!" Yazawa Nico proudly raised her head, arms crossed in front of her chest: "My 'Nico Nico Nico' will definitely make a lot of people my fans!"

"Nicole, don't try to steal the spotlight at the anime convention, okay? You know the consequences, right?" Tojo Nozomi smiled "kindly," squinting at Yazawa Nico. The latter trembled, weakly murmured in response, and lowered her head.

"Snap!" With her hands clasped together, Ayase Eli, the student council president, glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone! Now is not the time for us to be down! Hyakusei-sensei and the seniors in the studio have given us so much help, of course we should show them our best side!"

"At the August comic convention, we must make the whole world remember our name, Muse!"

Chapter 0113 Pervert? That's a reporter! (3/3 Please subscribe)

"I am back!"

A stunningly beautiful woman with a figure comparable to a model appeared in the entryway. Her icy blue eyes swept across the house, but she did not find anyone.

She placed her travel bag on the shoe rack, changed into slippers, and her blonde ponytail swayed with her movements.

"Thump, thump, thump!" Quick and clear footsteps came from upstairs, followed by a scream of "Ah!" The sound stopped abruptly, and then there was a dull thud like a heavy object falling to the ground.

Eli Ayase's heart skipped a beat: "Arisa? Is that you? What's wrong?"

"Ugh..." A suppressed, painful nasal sound came from the corner of the stairs. A cute little girl with long, flowing blonde hair, wearing a middle school uniform, limped out. When she saw Ayase Eli, she forced a smile: "Hey, hehe, big sister-, you're back?"

"How could you be so careless?" Ayase Eli frowned, scolding her more harshly, and helped her younger sister Ayase Arisa to sit on the sofa next to her: "Come on, let me see."

Those were the slender legs unique to young girls, their fair and soft skin enough to stir one's heart just by looking at them. The gradually becoming more obvious blush on her knees made Ayase Eli frown even more. She looked at them carefully and breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, the impact wasn't too bad. Wait here for me."

As she spoke, Eli Ayase went into the kitchen and came out a moment later with a small bag of ice: "Here, apply it for a while and it will be fine."

Arisa Ayase stuck out her little tongue, took the ice pack, and said, "Thank you, sister." Then, she excitedly held up the book in her hand and waved it: "Sister! I've watched Love Live! It's so good! Hyakuri-sensei drew each of you so realistically and cutely!"

Eli Ayase was slightly taken aback, and only then did she realize that what Arisa was holding was the 【Love Live!】 manga that had just been released that morning!

The smile on her younger sister's face proved how much she loved Love Live!, but Ayase Eli was concerned about something else: "It's not the weekend, you should be in class. The manga was only released this morning, how could you possibly have a copy?"

"Huh?" Arisa stared blankly at her sister. "No, it's not what you think, sister. Hyakusei-sensei mailed me the manga yesterday. I didn't sneak over to buy it!"

Seemingly to make her words more convincing, Arisa continued without pausing, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Yukiho! She also received a manga from Hyakusho-sensei!"

Yukiho, whose full name is Kousaka Yukiho, is Honoka's younger sister and a very good friend of Arisa.

"Is that so?" Eli Ayase nodded, reaching out to touch Arisa's golden hair. "I believe you now, little one!"

"Hehe, you're the best, big sister!" Arisa giggled, hugging Ayase Eli's waist tightly, tilting her little face up with excitement: "Big sister! Love Live! has caused quite a stir! There are so many people online discussing the manga, praising Hyakuri-sensei's drawing skills and also looking forward to seeing the real muse!"

At this point, her voice lowered; as a middle school student, she didn't yet know how to hide the worry in her words: "Sister, how's your training with Teacher Baili going? If... if we can't be as cute and likable as in the comics, then those people online... No matter what, I'll support you, sister! I'll support Muse!"

Eli Ayase smiled slightly and embraced Arisa: "Don't worry, Muse will definitely not let everyone down!"

...

Good morning, Xiaoguo!

Good morning, little bird and little sea!

The morning greetings rang out on the street outside Otonokizaka Academy. Honoka greeted them with her schoolbag slung over her shoulder and stuffed the last piece of bread into her mouth.

"Xiao Guo, didn't Teacher Baili repeatedly warn you not to eat bread anymore? Do you want to go back to how you used to be?"

Sonoda Umi frowned slightly, staring intently at Honoka's puffed-out cheeks. The latter grunted twice, swallowed the bread in her mouth, patted her chest to catch her breath, and then scratched her head while smiling wryly: "Ah... I haven't had it in a long time. Suddenly, the bread tastes much better. Hmm... it shouldn't be a problem to have it once in a while, right?"

"You..." Sonoda Umi was about to say something when Minami Kotori, standing between the two, interrupted her with a wry smile: "Umi, Koko loves bread so much, it's obviously impossible to stop her from eating any. As long as she doesn't eat too much, let's just let it go..."

Sonoda Umi paused, glared at Honoka, and sighed, "Fine, just be careful. Don't let the weight you finally managed to lose go back on!"

0 ····Requesting flowers···· ·········

"Yes, sir!" Honoka stood at attention and saluted, her comical appearance even making Sonoda Umi smile.

"Let's go, we haven't had class for a week. If we're late again, the teachers will be furious!" Minami Kotori said with a light laugh, taking a step towards the school gate. However, a group of people that came into view made her stop involuntarily: "What...are they doing?"

At the main gate of Otonokizaka Academy, two incongruous vans were parked. Some of the people in the vans were holding microphones, while others were carrying cameras. Their eyes were fixed on the Otonokizaka Academy students in their school uniforms, as if they were afraid of missing a single person.

... .. ....

"Could it be..." Honoka glanced around twice, then said with a serious expression, "A pervert?!"

"Thump!" Sonoda Umi, unable to contain herself any longer, flicked her finger hard on Honoka's head: "You pervert, my foot! Those people look like reporters or something, don't they?"

"A reporter?" Honoka rubbed her forehead, peered inside, and gave an extremely awkward smile. "It seems, it really does seem to be a reporter... But what would a reporter be doing in our academy? There shouldn't be anything here to interview, right?"

"Otonokizaka, on the verge of closing down, can't even produce a famous idol group. In Idol City, there are plenty of schools like that... Wait! Idol group? Muse?"

Honoka's eyes widened, unsure if her guess was correct, and she looked to Sonoda Umi and Minami Kotori for help.

Kotori nodded vigorously with her unchanging smile: "Koko, just as you thought, they're here to interview Muse... which means they're here to interview us!"

"Really?! Everyone move aside! I've finally waited for this day!"

A sudden yet familiar voice rang out behind the three of them, and a petite figure with pigtails rushed out and crossed the road at a speed that surprised all three of them. In the blink of an eye, she was in front of the camera.

"Hello! Are you here to interview Muse? I'm Nico Yazawa, a member of Muse!"

PS: The picture shows Ayase Eli's younger sister: Ayase Arisa (a little girl)! (Fan)

Chapter 0114 Interviewing Nicole? Not a chance! (1/3, please subscribe)

"Nicole, Nicole-senpai?" Sonoda Umi was stunned. Even now, her mind was still preoccupied with the question, "How can Nicole-senpai run so fast?" and she hadn't come back to reality.
