Crossover Anime: I'm at Shuchiin Academy, and my surname is Uchiha.

Chapter 141 Bunnies are so cute, they must taste amazing!

Uchiha Ryo: "Hahahaha, just kidding. We'll head towards the highlands in the northwest, find a nice place to rest, and maybe even do some hunting."

Kato Megumi: "Aren't we supposed to be thieves who need to hide? Why does it sound more like we're going on a picnic?"

Uchiha Ryo glanced at Shirogane Miyuki and the others over there.

"If they provoke me, I don't mind taking the initiative. We'll see if they're smart enough then."

[In the second scene, the 300 students from Toyonosaki are to change clothes, while the ten arrestors from Shuchiin are to go to the armory to select weapons.]

Ji Kalian: [So, the second scene, police catching thieves... let's begin!]

"Uchiha-kun, you'll be leading our Toyonosaki team!"

"Uchiha-kun, you were so cool just now! With you around, you could probably easily take down the police, right?!"

Upon returning to the forest, Uchiha Ryo was quickly surrounded by a number of students.

The devil wanted to act like Shirogane Miyuki, leading a large group of people. Not only would he be exhausted, but he would also have to manage to keep those guys from being killed by the police, so he refused on the spot.

Then, with Natsume, Kato Megumi, and Goto Ichiri, they headed northwest.

Uchiha Ryo: "By the way, Little Lonely, have you invited enough people yet?"

Goto Ichiri lowered her head. "Ryo-san, Hayasaka-san, plus Dad and Mom, that makes four people right now. We're still one short of the five-person goal..."

Kato Megumi: "Sorry, little lonely one, I've already got Ryo's ticket."

Uchiha Ryo sighed, "If that's the case..."

Natsume, who had remained silent, glanced at Kotori, then turned to Uchiha Ryo. "I'd also like to hear what Goto-kun's band is like, so..."

Uchiha Ryo reached out to stop Natsume, then smiled and turned to look at Goto Ichiri.

"Little Lonely One, although my kind younger brother wants to help you, Natsume is your classmate after all, and..."

Slowing down to stand beside Goto Ichiri, Uchiha Ryo approached gently and whispered in Kotori's ear.

"If you want to make a change, you have to make the necessary effort and invite people yourself! And... instead of inviting classmates, why not invite strangers?"

Goto Ichiri: "Inviting... a passerby?!"

It's impossible, isn't it? Asking strangers to come along? Like those pretty older women handing out flyers on the street? I don't even dare talk to strangers! How could I possibly ask strangers to come along?

Uchiha Ryo: "It's decided then. Natsume, you can't secretly help Kotori, okay? Go buy tickets from Kita or Ijichi later. Kotori has decided to try to win over the audience himself."

Little Loneliness: I haven't decided yet!!

Natsume, of course, did not refute what Uchiha Ryo said, and he thought it was a good idea; Goto-kun should indeed be more confident.

Kato Megumi: "But if we're going to invite random viewers, loner! How about I ask Eriri-san to draw a flyer for you?"

Uchiha Ryo: "Hmm, good idea, but flyers alone won't do. Actually, the best way is to have Little Lonely perform in the streets. Since we have a day off tomorrow because of the sports meet, let's go to Ginza for an outdoor performance."

It's already decided!! Little Lonely walked slower and slower, feeling as if her soul was about to fly away.

An outdoor performance? Oh right! As long as we call Kita out, with her social skills, an outdoor performance is definitely no problem.

Uchiha Ryo: "Then that's settled. But we don't need to notify Ijichi and the others. Just say it's to help Kotori develop her social skills, so no one else needs to come."

Goto Ichiri: "???"

Was this a prediction? So Ling can read minds?! No way... I don't want to perform outdoors! Right, I'll pretend I have something to do and stay home tomorrow.

Uchiha Ryo: "Yeah, I'll be visiting the Goto family tomorrow morning. Little Lonely, remember to open the door for me then, don't lock me out."

They even want to come to my house!!!

It's over... there's no way to escape. Goto Ichiri lowered his head. "Okay..."

Little Lonely fell silent, and after a long while, she looked up at Uchiha Ryo, who was chatting with Natsume.

The other person is really helping me! Ling is so kind and wants to help me overcome my social anxiety, so I have to put in the effort too! It's just an outdoor performance! It's just... sob, an outdoor... performance.

Before anyone knew it, Kato Megumi took a handkerchief out of her pocket and handed it to her.

"Hey, what's wrong, Little Lonely? Are you worried about performing outdoors? Well, even someone who isn't socially awkward would feel embarrassed if suddenly asked to perform on the street."

Uchiha Ryo turned his head away.

"Don't worry, Kato-kun. I bet Kotori is just touched. He must be excited about tomorrow's outdoor performance."

.....

In the hills of northwestern Hōshō, Uchiha Ryō found a shady spot on a rock; after all, it was still very hot on the mountain in summer.

"You guys sit down first. It's your school uniform anyway, so don't worry about getting it dirty. Besides, even if you break it during this kind of high-intensity game, you probably won't have to pay for it."

Natsume: "Brother Ling... the drone is still filming."

Uchiha Ryo turned his head to look in the direction of the forest. "Hmm...Found it!"

Seeing Uchiha Ryo suddenly run into the forest, Goto Ichiri collapsed to the ground.

"What should we do... what should we do tomorrow?"

Kato Megumi looked up. "Hey, if you're too shy to make eye contact with strangers, what will you do for the actual performance?"

Goto Ichiri: "....."

Megumi Kato: "Although I haven't seen many band performances, there will definitely be a lot of people in the audience, right? All their eyes will be on you, won't they?"

Little Lonely became withdrawn...

In the forest, Uchiha Ryo carried firewood tied with vines in his left hand and a wild rabbit in his right.

Rabbits are so cute, they must taste amazing. Uchiha Ryo has already decided to make roasted rabbit later.

Back on the high ground, Uchiha Ryo put down the firewood and the rabbit he was carrying.

"Natsume, let's find some large rocks to make a firebreak, because we didn't bring any water and it would be bad if the fire spreads."

Natsume stood up. "Okay, but Ling-ge, did you bring matches?"

Uchiha Ryo casually pointed to a stone not far away, "Isn't that a flint and steel?"

Natsume: "Huh? Is that a flint? It just looks like an ordinary stone to me."

Uchiha Ryo chuckled. "What I say it is, it is! Alright, hurry up and get to it! I can't wait to taste this thing."

As wisps of smoke rose, Shirogane Miyuki, a member of the police force, parted the bushes and arrived at the foot of the hill.

Then... he froze on the spot.

Uchiha Rin turned his head, a rabbit leg still dangling from his mouth.

"You're here! Would you like some to try?"

Miyuki Shirogane: "What are you talking about! I'm a police officer arresting people! You guys not only didn't hide, but you actually dared to..."

.....

Uchiha Ryo leaned against the rock and looked into the distance. "Little Lonely and Kato ate too little. Natsume doesn't have much of an appetite either, so I guess you'll have to have it."

Shirogane Miyuki's expression was serious: "Hmph, I'm doing this to avoid wasting food! Not because I'm hungry or accepting bribes from you!"

"Yes, yes, then officer, please finish your meal and leave quickly."
