Anime Crossover: The people the Saniwa knows are all over Japan

"I heard from my agent that the advertising was surprisingly effective."

—"Originally a niche clothing brand aimed at a small number of people, it has attracted the attention of many ordinary people,"

—"The company simply struck while the iron was hot and re-released the original promotional image, putting it back on the cover."

"I heard the publicity this time was even more effective than last time!"

Throughout the entire day, Kise's words kept playing in Asuka's mind.

The brainwashing effect was so remarkable that it even drowned out the teacher's voice.

Why are you looking so listless today, Asuka-chan?

Kise, who was completely baffled by the current situation, asked worriedly.

Are you feeling unwell?

Although touched by her deskmate's concern, Asuka was still somewhat dispirited, deeply affected by the news he brought.

Hopefully, the clothing company doesn't have a large budget for advertising, or that people who see the ads will prefer Kise-kun.

"Speaking of which, Akashi told us to go to McDonald's together after training. Asuka-chan, do you want to come with us?"

"Huh?" Asuka, who was lazily lying on the table, glanced at Kise.

"Is it a basketball team gathering? I don't think it would be appropriate for me to go?"

"No, no!"

Kise shook his head like a rattle-drum, looking somewhat dazed as he eagerly retorted.

It's even kind of cute.

"It should just be considered a private gathering~ Akashi only invited the main cast and Momo, who are all people Asuka-chan knows."

Although the school bell had already rung, Asuka, who didn't plan to show her face during the day, still didn't feel like moving her legs.

Since we're leaving in the evening anyway, it seems like it would be nice to go with everyone.

"Then I'll send a text message to Xiao Chifang to ask if it's convenient for her~"

Kise, whose plan to "spend more time with Asuka-chan" had succeeded, nodded obediently.

The frequency of his nodding was visibly fast.

My deskmate is so silly, will she be bullied by cunning people in the future?

A sense of unease welled up in Asuka's heart.

Stupid Erhuang: TAT I didn't, I didn't do it, Asuka-chan's tonic treats me like a stupid duck—

As expected, Asuka and Momoi happily linked arms, with the Rainbow Team following behind as a cool backdrop.

The group went to McDonald's together.

After everyone was seated and had ordered, Momoi leaned close to Asuka and whispered:

"I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I felt like there were a lot of people secretly watching Asuka-chan and Koyo outside just now."

Although the bird's concealment point is negative, its scouting point is almost full.

Of course, they also noticed many people "secretly" glancing at them.

Only Kise, a basketball idiot with extremely poor perception of things outside of basketball, failed to notice.

When Momoi asked the question, Akashi also looked over.

They had clearly noticed something strange.

However, what bothered him even more was the underlying sadness hidden beneath Asuka's high spirits.

Now that someone has discovered it, there's no need to hide it anymore.

The bird wiped away the emperor's tears (referring to "The Emperor's New Clothes") and poured out everything to everyone.

"I knew it, Asuka-chan has been acting strange all day."

Kise suddenly realized what was happening, and then two long tears streamed down his face.

"I'm sorry, Asuka-chan, I made you sad (;Д`)——"

Kise's sudden apology and tears left Asuka completely bewildered.

"It has nothing to do with my deskmate... it's just my personality."

"Speaking of which..." Aomine stroked his chin and suddenly asked, "Does Mononobe-san not like being liked by others?"

"Eh?"

Asuka scratched her head. "It's not entirely true... but being liked by someone can be very stressful, right...?"

Besides, she's not someone who deserves to be liked by everyone.

Qingfeng nodded as if he understood, calmly dropping a bombshell in Feibiao's heart.

"Doesn't Mononobe-san know that she's very popular at school?"

"???" (*д*)!!
