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

Chapter 144 Little Loneliness Seizes the Future!

During the afternoon sports meet, Uchiha Ryo chose to leave without a plan and made up an excuse to leave Shuchiin.

Two girls left with him.

Hayasaka Ai looked happy, while Xiao Lonely looked like she had just survived a disaster.

That's right. When she learned that Uchiha Rin wanted to run away, Hayasaka Ai also found an excuse to follow him.

Kaguya-sama's personal attendant? Please, the Hayasaka family has already been given to Uchiha Ryo by Shinomiya Hiromitsu. She's just a working woman; what's wrong with skipping a day of work?!

Besides, what danger could Kaguya Shinomiya possibly face at school? I'm sure my dear lady wouldn't stand in my way of pursuing happiness.

As for Little Lonely, he didn't want to participate in the afternoon's borrowing race at all, and was then discovered by Uchiha Rin and taken out directly.

Little Lonely: "Um, thank you, Ling-san and Hayasaka-san. If I participated in a race with borrowed objects, I'd definitely die!"

In Goto Ichiri's inner fantasy, no matter what she draws, if the item is in the hands of a stranger, she will be too embarrassed to borrow it, otherwise she will be the only one left on the entire playground who has not completed the task.

No, no, I don't want that kind of thing!

But... Little Lonely saw an angel! That's right, it was the gentle and kind Uchiha Rin. He saw Little Lonely's resistance to the sports meet, so he took the initiative to take him away.

Little Lonely was very fortunate to have met such a gentle person as Ling, and also fortunate to have made friends in the Bond Band.

Uchiha Ryo: "Little Lonely, you really never leave your guitar behind. Aren't you tired of carrying it like that all the time? Let me help you carry it."

Goto Ichiri: "No need, um... I'm already used to carrying my guitar around all the time."

Uchiha Ryo ignored Xiao Gudu's refusal and instead took the guitar off his back and carried it on his own.

"The guitar may not be heavy, but how can you always be hunched over? Face yourself, face what's ahead, face the future. Even if you comb your bangs long, you can't walk with your head down, can you?"

Hayasaka Ai came to Kotori's side and hooked Kotori's chin with her right hand.

"Little Lonely is clearly cute, but she can't be so insecure. She'll never become an excellent maid if she doesn't act like that."

Little Lonely nodded. "I...I'll try my best...Eh? Maid!"

Hayasaka Ai's tone suddenly changed. "Goto-kun! Stand up straight, head held high, and look ahead!"

Little Lonely: "Woof!"

Regarding the guitar she carries on her back, Little Lonely wasn't lying; she's really used to carrying it so she doesn't feel tired.

But she always had to find a suitable excuse to live with her back bent and her head down. The guitar she carried on her back and the bangs that almost covered her vision were all excuses for her loneliness, which made her afraid to look others in the eye.

Uchiha Ryo suddenly thought of Natsume, who was still at Shuchiin with Aunt Fujiwara.

"By the way, neither of your parents came to the sports meet?"

Hayasaka Ai pouted, "Mom is now the head butler of the Shinomiya family, under Young Master Un'ei. She has an incredibly heavy workload, so she won't come."

Little Lonely turned his head and sighed. "If Mom and Dad were in the stands at the sports meet, I'd probably be even more embarrassed, so embarrassed that I wouldn't be able to do anything..."

So, it's understandable that the parents who didn't come to cheer for their daughter? What considerate parents...

Uchiha Ryo: "So, Little Lonely's parents are both home right now?"

Little Lonely shook his head. "There's a sports meet at the elementary school today too. My parents are probably cheering for Erli."

Uchiha Ryo thought for a moment, "Then let's go check out the elementary school. I remember that Niri and Hana went to the same elementary school."

Hayasaka Ai: "Hana... is she Shirasaki-san's daughter? Hmm, she's off today too, she should be there too."

Little Lonely nodded, "As long as I don't go on stage, I can just watch Erli and Xiaohua as a spectator."

The three left Shuchiin and headed to the elementary school where Hana and the others studied. Because Shirasaki Haruka often came to the Starlight Bar to chat with the manager, Kotori knew Hana.

Moreover, Little Lonely and Little Flower seem to have a pretty good relationship.

Although Goto Ichiri has difficulty talking to strangers, Shirasaki Hana's appearance makes it hard for him to feel nervous, especially the cute way she eats.

Xiaohua also told Xiaogudu that her classmate's older sister was also socially anxious. She stayed at home except when she was at school, and she didn't even dare to buy things or talk to strangers.

In response, Little Lonely seemed to see another version of himself in the world.

Hoshino Miyako is a college student, while he is a high school student. Hoshino Miyako has a cheerful younger sister, and he also has a cheerful younger sister!

Xiaohua: "But Sister Gongzi's academic performance is quite good. I think she studied fashion design in college. It's really suitable for her. It seems like she can just design clothes at home in the future."

Goto Ichiri: "....."

Yes, the other person has excellent grades and their university major means they don't have to interact with many people. What about me? I'm afraid to work, afraid to take jobs, and my grades are among the worst in my class.

If I can't support myself by playing the guitar...

—Goto Ichiri's Fantasy Time—

The dimly lit room was filled with empty instant noodle cups, packaging bags, and empty beverage cans. The lonely adult huddled in the closet, staring at his phone.

My mom has given up on getting me to work. Even Xiao Erli has found a suitable job and is working hard to improve, while I can only stay at home browsing the internet.

In the corner sits a guitar that has been gathering dust for a long time. It was once an unattainable dream during my student days, but now all I can do is sigh... I'm so useless.

The little lonely fantasy has ended...

No!!! Little Lonely even had nightmares about it. This can't go on, she can't accept this future!

"Ling, I will definitely be mentally prepared for tomorrow's outdoor performance."

Uchiha Ryo looked at the suddenly confident Xiao Gudu with a puzzled expression. What was wrong with her? She had been in a daze for a while and then suddenly had an epiphany.

Hayasaka Ai: "Good luck! I'll be there to support you tomorrow. If you ever become a rock star, remember to sign your autograph for me in advance."

Goto Ichiri chuckled, "Rock star... hehehe, I'm a rock superstar!"

Uchiha Ryo suddenly tapped Xiao Gudu on the head.

"Don't get lost in your own fantasy world. Whether you become a rock star or an unknown worker in the future depends on how hard you work now."

Goto Ichiri clenched her fists. "Yes! I'll work hard and make sure I take control of my future! (I won't become the kind of useless person you imagine myself to be)."

Uchiha Ryo chuckled softly, "Then good luck, because this is the future of little Loneliness."

Little Loneliness: "The future?"

Uchiha Ryo picked up the little lonely guitar and placed it in his hand.

"Choose: take control of your future or give up and become a lifeless nobody."

Little Lonely took a deep breath. "I want to find an audience on my own. I want to make the Bond Band better. I want to get rid of my social anxiety!"

"Therefore, I must seize the future!"
