Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

After defeating the giant frog, Shichen led everyone back to the guild, collected their rewards, and instead of returning to the inn, stayed in an empty spot.

"Time, aren't we going to an inn?" Aqua lazily slumped on the table.

"Wait a moment, I have important business to attend to today."

"Okay, I'll take a nap first."

"Brother Shi, what's the matter?" Sato Kazuma asked.

"Kazuma, what level are you now?"

“I’m already level 10!” Kazuma Sato replied proudly.

"You've leveled up... so you must have learned quite a few skills, right?"

"Yes, I learned one-handed swordsmanship and basic magic."

"Basic magic? What's the use of that?" Huihui couldn't help but interject.

"Huihui, just because you don't know how to use it doesn't mean Hezhen doesn't know how to use it."

"Is that so? Not as good as my Explosion Magic."

"You can sleep face down too," Shi Chen said irritably, pressing her down onto the table.

"Damn it! You also learned the Explosion Magic."

"Go to sleep." Shi Chen patted her head perfunctorily.

"..."

"Brother Shi, shall I demonstrate some basic magic?"

"No need, that's not the important thing today."

Elementary magic is simply the ability to summon magic of the four elements: earth, water, wind, and fire. For the people of this world, due to their ingrained beliefs and the war with the Demon King, it is of no use. However, for Kazuma Sato, a modern person, there is much more room for maneuver.

Shichen had no doubt about Sato Kazuma's thought process.

"what is that?"

"Of course..." Shi Chen smiled slightly, glancing around at everyone: "Let's buy equipment."

After leaving the guild, Shichen led everyone directly to a small shop specializing in items.

"here it is......?"

"A magic item shop?"

"I never expected to find a place like this."

"Let's go in and take a look, pick out some suitable props." Shi Chen led the way and pushed open the shop door.

"Wow—" Sato Kazuma excitedly followed behind him.

After all, he was the only one in his team who needed items to enhance himself, and the word "item" reminded him of games he used to play, making him unable to resist fantasizing about his strength improving by leaps and bounds.

"Dingling~"

The bell hanging on the door rang, notifying the shop owner that a customer had arrived.

"Welcome... Huh?" The shop owner had just started to speak when he saw the customer, and he was immediately stunned.

"Isn't this Miss Wiz? It's been a long time." Shichen greeted her with a smile.

In reality, he just came to see her, since he really didn't need any props, not to mention the props in Wiz's shop.

Incidentally, Wiz did not possess any fragments of divine power, and Shichen could not sense any trace of his presence.

"What do you mean 'long time no see'! We just parted ways yesterday... Ah—"

Wiz's face showed panic as Aqua walked in.

"Ah! It's you, you damned immortal monster! You actually open a shop in a place like this? How dare you! As a goddess, I cannot tolerate this! I will smash this shop in the name of the gods!"

As soon as Aqua saw Wiz, she yelled and walked over to a stool without hesitation, ready to pick it up.

"What are you doing?" Shi Chen asked helplessly, pulling her back.

"What? What are you doing? I'm a goddess, irreconcilable with liches. I let her go yesterday, I can't possibly do it again today... Ouch~"

Shi Chen gently tapped her head: "Stop fooling around, don't we already know she's a kind person?"

"Liches cannot be trusted!"

"I...I really am a good person...a good lich!" Wiz quickly interjected to defend himself.

“A good lich would never call himself a good lich!” Aqua retorted.

"But I haven't hurt any humans, please believe me," Wiz said, feeling wronged.

"Hmph! I won't believe a word you say, take this—Turn undead (Holy Exorcism)!"

"No—!"

Chapter 148 The Fake Demon King's Cadre

"What's wrong with this shop? We've been sitting here for so long, and they haven't even brought us tea? Are they looking down on us?"

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'll go get the tea right away!"

"Wiz, ignore her, and you too, stop being naughty." Shichen called out to Wiz, then pinched Aqua's cheek.

This guy's attitude towards Wiz was really awful. He just sat there like a thug, and then he tried to mess with her.

There was nothing they could do; not only were they natural enemies, but Wiz also seemed so easy to bully.

"Shichen, what are you doing? Why are you siding with outsiders? Do you have feelings for her? I can help you, let's win her over together!"

"Take my foot!" Shi Chen slapped her head irritably.

"It hurts~"

"Wiz, don't pay attention to what she said."

"Really? You really won't do anything to me?" Wiz looked at Shichen timidly.

"...Why did you come to this conclusion?"

"But... but you seem to be very friendly to me. I'm a lich, you know."

"Indeed."

Huihui nodded in agreement beside Shichen: "From the moment we met, Shichen was very friendly to you. It's hard not to suspect that he has some ulterior motive. But you are a lich, and normal people wouldn't want to associate with you. So there's only one truth! It's because of your figure!"

Huihui, looking as if she had just discovered the truth, pointed to Wiz's impressive figure beneath his robe.

"Eh, eh—? Is, is that so?" Wenzi blushed and looked at Shichen nervously.

“…Sorry, that’s not it.” Shi Chen replied expressionlessly.

"Really?" Wiz looked disappointed.

"Hey! Why are you disappointed?" Huihui shouted unhappily.

"I... even if I'm a lich, I still want to be liked. Besides, I'm not young anymore, and I've never been in a relationship..." Wiz raised his hand to his face, replying shyly.

"Ha! A mere lich dares to be lustful? How dare you! I'll purify you... Ouch! What are you doing, Shichen?!"

Aqua pouted and looked at Toki with a pitiful expression.

"Stop messing around, we're here on serious business, okay?" Shi Chen withdrew his hand and said wearily.

"what's up?"

"...This is a magic item shop, what else could we be doing here? Besides, I already told you why we're here, didn't you hear me?"

"You didn't let me hear it just now."

"Never mind... just stay quiet for a while."

"Then what about this lich?"

"She's not a threat, why are you bothering with her?"

"Impossible! How could a lich pose no threat! Besides, this is human territory, and she's even opening a shop here. How could she not have a purpose!"

“That’s right! I agree with Aqua’s idea too!” Megumin chimed in.

Shi Chen glanced at Youyou and the others and found that the three of them were examining the magical items in the shop and completely ignoring what was happening here.

"...Naviz, what is your purpose in opening a shop here?"

"Huh? Purpose? Making money... does that count?" Wiz asked hesitantly.

"Why are you asking me?"

"Because I... I just wanted to open a shop, there's no particular... purpose." Wiz paused for a moment.

"I get it! You just want to make money off humans, right? And then fund the Demon King? Damn it! I might as well just purify you!" Aqua didn't think much of it and made to rush towards Wiz.

"No! No! That's not how it is. I didn't intend to fund the Demon King, and I've never harmed humanity. Although I'm a cadre in the Demon King's army, it's only in name!"

"What...did you say?" Aqua asked, bewildered.

"Ah—" Wiz realized that she seemed to have self-destructed.

"..."

The entire store suddenly fell silent; there wasn't a sound, you could hear a pin drop.

Youyou and the others also put aside their curiosity and all looked at Wiz.

The officers of the Demon King's army are second only to the Demon King in their threat to humanity; in other words, they are humanity's absolute enemies!

After a brief silence, Aqua reacted and rushed towards Wiz without hesitation.

"Arrest her right now!"

"Wait! Miss Aqua, Lady Aqua! Please, please let me finish speaking, okay?"

Wiz, pinned down by Aqua, could only plead for mercy, but she ignored him completely, wiping away non-existent sweat from her forehead and looking at Shichen with a look of accomplishment.

"Time! I've captured a Demon King's army officer! Does this mean I can get a hefty reward? Can I just buy a house and live there?"

"No, you can't." Shi Chen smiled and shrugged.
