Anime Crossover: My Youth Begins with Charlotte

"Xiao Xun, it's so good that you didn't get stung. Damn it, it's all the bees' fault."

The bee was brutally mutilated.

Pitiful.

Nao put down the camera and scratched her slightly flushed cheeks.

"I'm so sorry, Xiao Xun, I just took pictures of something I shouldn't have..."

Just as Kaori Miyazono began to methodically put on her pantyhose and shoes, she heard the great photographer apologize.

Kaori Miyazono blinked and said "Ah".

When she realized that this was just a rehash of old news, her face flushed red again.

"Hey, remember to delete it carefully!"

She made her accusation shyly.

Nao shook her head and then nodded.

"Xia Yan will be in charge of editing and other post-production work. Don't worry, if he does anything unnecessary, I will definitely teach him a lesson!"

So that's how it is. In other words, Natsuhiko might have seen that scene many times. Kaori Miyazono suddenly felt a sense of relief.

......

A dessert shop near the school.

"Three tiramisu and hot chocolate."

have to say.

Girls are very enthusiastic about these kinds of desserts.

The steaming hot cocoa, with its brownish heat, instantly filled my mouth with a sweet aroma and flavor.

"It's really delicious!"

Nao used a small spoon to put the flavorful tiramisu cake into her mouth.

"One more."

Miss Tomori Nao, who threatened the director with the video, felt that she hadn't lost out today and might even have made a huge profit.

As for Kaori Miyazono...

Like a broken record, it wavered between "Give me an unedited, complete video" and "Give me an edited video."

Finally, Xia Yan agreed to give her one each, and only then did she turn her attention to the desserts.

Chapter 71 Why are you taking pictures? Just standing there!

The quality of a music video depends not only on the cinematography, but also on other steps that are just as important, or even more crucial.

That's editing.

After Nao sent over all the materials.

the following few days.

Xia Yan then focused all his energy on the later stages of the project.

A work is more important than its story, characters, and themes than the combination of images taken from various sizes, shooting locations, and inspirations.

This is not simply a collection of words, pictures, or even music, but rather the characteristic of an art form called "video".

What's important is creation that transcends time and space.

The camera is responsible for collecting countless seed images, while post-production is responsible for completing the work.

"Hey, Yan. What do you think of this scene? I think it's okay to cut a little bit of this full-body shot looking into the distance."

A coffee shop for leisurely moments.

Kaguya Shinomiya put down her homework, placed a chair next to Natsuhiko, and began to give her opinions.

Seeing this, Fujiwara Chika also came over defiantly, not to be outdone.

The two finally ended their long family meeting and, without any club activities, appeared at the agreed-upon cafe.

After meeting, the two of them, contrary to their usual behavior, started doing their homework. Left to the side, he could only put his computer out and continue with the later stages of the project.

Kaguya Shinomiya, who had been pretending to do her homework, couldn't resist jumping out first and giving a speech about the scene.

If others saw this, they might actually think he was a professional.

Xia Yan shook his head, both amused and exasperated.

"No. This is the part that's necessary to broaden the perspective all at once, to integrate the overall momentum, and to get to the conclusion."

"No, of course I know what you're thinking, but a shorter approach is more impactful!"

"Wow, can you two be a little nicer? Hiko, Kaguya, if you keep messing around, I'm going to flip the table!"

She watched as the two people, engrossed in their discussion, ignored her.

Fujiwara Chika casually gave the two of them a hat and then joined the heated discussion, only making a feigned attempt to stop them.

Both of them had received artistic training and offered several suggestions with great humility, which Xia Yan selectively adopted.

"And this harmonica player is really good."

Fujiwara Chika hummed softly, her shoulders swaying with the music.

"What was originally a melancholy song has been transformed into a song with a warm, sunny feel. It has a lot of character, and even pigeons have flown over to join it."

"And this EloimEssaimEloimEssaim, please heed my request, really resonates with me!"

Chika unsurprisingly liked the song, and the rest was just her commentary on Kaori Miyazono's little habit before each song.

"Don't you think this feels like magic?"

Xia Yan glanced at her and answered softly.

"Is this the Kaori Miyazono you mentioned who once saw my piano performance?"

Fujiwara QQ group 85, Chika suddenly asked. 2

Xia Yan nodded, already quite used to Qian Hua's unconventional questions.

"Kaori Miyazono from the Light Music Club and my club."

"But Yan, I didn't expect you to direct music videos for others."

Kaguya twisted her body, squeezing away Natsuhiko who was originally sitting, and separated the headphones and Chika into two groups, clearly indicating that she wanted to watch it again.

Production is complete.

Xia Yan was fairly satisfied with himself, so he gave the opportunity to the two of them to watch freely!

He made this using all his spare time, and it's been several days since the filming ended.

“It’s over—” Kaguya Shinomiya sighed softly.

"Wow, that's amazing... I'm so surprised."

Fujiwara Chika made a clapping gesture, but didn't clap very loudly.

Kaguya glanced at Chika and then struck out with her own hand.

Kaguya raised the corners of her mouth in a smile.

"I have a feeling this will be a very successful music video, maybe even a masterpiece."

Xia Yan responded with a reserved smile.

Kaguya clicked around with the wireless mouse.

"...We've been busy with classes, meetings, and so on these past few days, but Yan has been having a very leisurely time."

It's not exactly leisurely.

"I was taking a leisurely photoshoot, but I couldn't control my hands."

"Yeah yeah."

The two stared blankly at the computer screen, the program already finished. They stood there motionless for a while before snapping out of their daze and glaring at Xia Yan.

Hear this sound.

Xia Yan knew then that something had happened.

They must have watched the full video shot by Nao Tomori.

He could only laugh "hahaha" to cover up the fact that the die was cast.

Instantly, tears welled up in Kaguya's wine-red eyes, and the blush on her face did not fade at all.

"Kaguya-san?"

Chika felt a little flustered looking at the heartbroken Kaguya.

"Yan, this person is so mean."

Then, as if trying to suppress her overflowing sadness, she clenched her hands into fists and began to wipe away her tears.

"Why would they do something so cruel to us? It's too much, Yan!"

Kaguya gently tossed her head.

This gave Xia Yan the illusion that he had really done something wrong.

Of course not.

As Kaguya's guide, leading the way.

He had seen Kaguya use a skill called "Girl's Tears (Cheating)" early on. Simply put, it was a trick by which Kaguya secretly dripped eye drops hidden in her breasts into her eyes under the cover of other actions, making the illusion of crying.

However, the performance still needs to be coordinated.

No, that's not true—

"Are you absolutely sure that's not true? You've never taken a picture with me before, and you must have watched that music video countless times."

"Tsk, tsk, Yan——!"

Chika also saw through it, but instead fanned the flames from the sidelines.
