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

I really can't think of a title for Chapter 217, so I'll just use whatever.

"It's such a great time now, a rare summer vacation, I feel so bored staying at home."

Chitanda Eru sat to the side, feeling that she should go out and see more of the world at times like this, since she usually stayed at school and rarely had the opportunity to go out.

Uchiha Ryo, still lying on the tatami mat, yawned and said.

"Chitanda, as they say, spring brings drowsiness, summer brings fatigue, autumn brings lethargy, and winter brings curling up in bed. In this sweltering heat, what am I supposed to choose? Staying in an air-conditioned room and taking a nap is the most comfortable."

Chitanda: "Hmm, but according to you, all four seasons are a time to be lazy."

Uchiha Ryo pointed to the side, "So, do you want to rest together? It's very comfortable~"

Chitanda blinked, seemingly not paying any attention to Uchiha Ryo's tone, which sounded like an older man coaxing a young girl.

"Is sunbathing really that comfortable?"

Uchiha Ryo: "Of course, I never lie. Why don't you try it and see?"

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Chitanda Eru lay down as well. Although it was a sweltering summer day, the semi-transparent curtains effectively alleviated both the temperature and the brightness. She enjoyed the comfort of the tatami mat beneath her and the warmth of the soft light.

What kind of feeling is this...? It feels so good.

When you completely relax, you can not only feel the warmth outside, but also feel a warm glow inside...it's so reassuring.

Outside the study, Yukino finally rescued the cat who was still mopping the floor, but when she carried Enyun-chan in, she saw Uchiha Ryo and Chitanda lying there peacefully...

"What are you doing?! Even if you need to rest, go back to your rooms!"

Chitanda's eyelids twitched, but she remained silent because she was too comfortable.

Uchiha Ryo slowly extended his right hand, "I've saved you a seat here, come and rest with me."

Yukino stepped forward. "Who would want to lie here sunbathing? You're not children anymore, can't you do something more interesting?"

Uchiha Ryo sat up from the ground. "Then Yukino, tell me, is there anything meaningful you could do?"

"Well..."

Chitanda sat up as well. "Let's go out! How about... Shibuya?"

Yukinoshita: "Rejected. Shibuya during summer vacation is bound to be crowded. I hate crowded places."

Chitanda: "How about Akihabara then?"

Yukinoshita: "Although I read manga and some light novels, I don't know much about otaku culture, and I've heard that Akihabara has a lot of idol fanatics, so it's chaotic. Therefore, I reject the idea."

Uchiha Ryo rested his chin on his hand and said, "Then let's go to Shimokitazawa. There are far fewer people there than in Shibuya, Shinjuku, or Akihabara, but it's still a nice place."

"Shimokitazawa?"

Yukino thought for a moment, "I remember the last time I went, it was to see a band made up of Toyonosaki students, right?"

Chitanda raised her hand, "I want to go, I want to go! Band performances and stuff... my family never really let me get involved with them before. Are they performing today?"

Uchiha Ryo smiled. "Them? Probably not. After all, they're not a formally signed band with an agency, and the Bond Band probably doesn't perform in music bars very often."

"But I'll ask first, they should have more performances during the summer vacation."

.....

At the Shimokitazawa Starlight Music Bar, Xiao Gudu sat there, looking ashen-faced, as if everything in the world had lost its color.

Nijika Ichichi: "Well, don't be discouraged, little lonely one. It's just a guitar. With a little effort, you can buy another one!"

Little Lonely lowered his head, looking at the electric guitar that had been with him for many years, which he couldn't believe he had broken.

This guitar has actually been with the Goto family for a long time; Goto's father bought it when he was into rock music. However, after he got married, his rock dream gradually faded.

A good electric guitar, if properly maintained, can last for twenty or thirty years. However, even though Little Lonely's guitar has been maintained, it is still an old guitar that has been passed down from his father and used for almost twenty years.

So this guitar broke during the early summer practice sessions...

Little Lonely: "Buy another one... buy a guitar that belongs to me..."

Yamada Ryo quietly stood beside the lonely girl.

"A good electric guitar starts at least at 100,000 yen, and some can even reach 400,000 to 500,000 yen if it's custom-made..."

Little Lonely was trembling all over. "Please stop talking!"

The phone rang suddenly, finally interrupting Xiao Gudu's moment of solitude. When he saw that the caller was Uchiha Rin, Xiao Gudu immediately answered the call.

Ever since she was too afraid to answer the phone last time, resulting in Uchiha Ryo not being able to contact her, Ryo had "gently" warned her never to hang up on him.

So Little Lonely quickly asked, "Hey... um, is there something you need, Ling?"

It's nothing, just that you guys have any performances or anything lately? I'm planning to take a friend to see one.

Little Lonely glanced sadly at the broken guitar lying in the corner, which he couldn't believe was lying there.

[Waaah, there probably won't be any performances for the next few days, and I need to figure out how to buy a new guitar.]

Uchiha Ryo: [I see. Do you need any help?]

No need to trouble Ling, thank you. I'll figure out how to buy a new guitar myself.

It seems going to Shimokitazawa wasn't very interesting after all. The band, Bond, is missing a guitarist, and it's the key one, Little Lonely. Anyway, we won't be able to hear the band play.

"So we should just stay home. Why go out in this sweltering heat?"

Chitanda: "But won't it be boring staying at home?"

Uchiha Ryo turned to look at Yukino.

"Really? What does Yukino usually do at home?"

Yukinoshita rested her chin on her hand and said, "I read books, study, and surf the internet, but I mostly read books. I've read all kinds of literature, from European and American literature to classical literature, modern literary novels, and light novels."

Chitanda: "But we can't just stay home reading, that would be so boring~"

Yukinoshita has a different view. She believes that reading is also a kind of pleasure, and when you are really focused on reading a book, it can actually be a great way to pass the time.

Uchiha Ryo: "Then what do you want to see?"

Yukinoshita paused in her voice. It seemed that her library was all in the apartment area. The study at home was left by her parents, and Yukinoshita had seen it when she was very young.

At this moment, Chitanda suddenly said, "When I was cleaning upstairs just now, I seem to remember that Haruno-nee's room also has a bookshelf. Why don't we go and see what Haruno-nee usually reads?"

Yukino raised an eyebrow. "Her?"

Although somewhat reluctant, Yukinoshita could only be passively pulled along by Chitanda's maximum initiative.

Second floor – Yukinoshita's room.

Chitanda half-squatted on the ground and took out a stack of books.

"Hehehe, look what I found! It's a shoujo manga! I didn't expect Haruno-neechan to read them."

In Chitanda's mind, Yukinoshita Haruno is the kind of mature, reliable, and all-around capable older sister. It's a bit surprising that such a perfect person would also read shoujo manga.

Yukino didn't comment on it. It's just a shoujo manga, she reads it occasionally, there shouldn't be anything wrong with that.

"Yukino, Yukino, let's look at some shoujo manga together! Look, I found a manga called 'Sister x Love,' what's it about?"

Yukinoshita: "....."
