Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

"You come to me like this, aren't you afraid of me?" Shi Chen shook his head, sat back down on the stool, and asked in return.

“Didn’t we just confirm that the store manager is a good person?” Hoshino Ai winked playfully with her right eye.

Her beautiful, starry eyes were truly captivating, making it impossible to look away.

Shi Chen couldn't help but recall his high school days, when he wanted heterochromatic eyes or special eyes, which would definitely make him the coolest kid in the class.

She even deliberately rubbed her eyes until they were red.

That's so cringeworthy!

"You're really bold. Aren't you afraid I'm not a good person? You must have seen it, right? The scene where I suddenly disappeared."

"It's precisely because I saw it that I'm even more determined to find the store manager."

Hoshino Ai said matter-of-factly, "I'll definitely regret it if I don't check."

"What if it's fake?"

"But it's clearly true now."

"You little rascal..." Shi Chen sighed helplessly.

"Hehe~ Manager, you're not an ordinary person, are you?" This time it was Hoshino Ai's turn to lean closer to him.

"So what if it is? So what if it's not?"

"So, there are unknown forces in this world?"

"Why are you curious about this?" Shi Chen asked in return.

“Of course I’m curious. This ordinary world… is so boring.” Hoshino Ai paused, her tone suddenly becoming indifferent.

"Really?" Shi Chen reached out and ruffled her hair.

"Hmm?" Hoshino Ai looked at him in confusion.

"Thanks a lot."

"Manager... why do you seem to know about my affairs?" Hoshino Ai's expression changed, and she asked jokingly.

"Perhaps," Shi Chen replied noncommittally.

"As expected, the store manager is no ordinary person. Can I take a look?" Hoshino Ai asked excitedly.

"Want to take a look? It's not impossible, but you seem to have forgotten something."

"what?"

“I did say it before…” Tokimitsu stared into Hoshino Ai’s eyes and said in a deep voice, “I’m a lolicon.”

"..." Hoshino Ai blinked blankly again.

"Don't believe me? Have you forgotten those two little girls you saw when you came in?"

"Pfft~" Hoshino Ai suddenly couldn't help but laugh.

"how?"

"Haha~ It seems the store manager is really a good person."

"Hey! I'm a lolicon! You're a loli!" Shi Chen reminded him.

"It's okay~"

Hoshino Ai blinked: "Anyway, the shop manager is a good person. If he's a lolicon, then I'll be even safer?"

"What nonsense?"

"In short, I trust the store manager, and it would be even better if the store manager really is a lolicon."

"Hmm?" Shi Chen tilted his head in confusion.

"Isn't the store manager a good guy? And he's so handsome, and not an ordinary person either. I feel like I'm going to make a killing!"

"...You're just attracted to me like that?"

"Who told me to be curious about the store manager from the start? Doesn't the store manager know that when you become curious about someone, that's the beginning of your downfall?"

"You're just a little kid, okay?" Shi Chen flicked her forehead again, annoyed.

"Not small at all!" Hoshino Ai retorted, raising her chest defiantly.

"..."

Shichen couldn't help but look down. And it has to be said, although Hoshino Ai is only twelve years old, she is indeed already budding.

"Hmph~ Does the store manager have anything else to say?" Hoshino Ai asked smugly.

"Little brat," Shi Chen said, scoffing.

"It's okay, anyway, the store manager is a good person, and he's a lolicon."

"Don't call me a good person, I don't like that word."

"Huh? I think the word 'good person' is quite nice."

"I don't think it's good. If you want me to show you any special abilities, then you're not allowed to call me a good person."

"Hmm... okay, but could you tell me your name, manager?"

"Why do you want to know my name, you little brat?"

"What does it matter~"

"...time".

"Shichen? Why does that sound like a Chinese name?"

"I am Chinese."

"Huh? Really? No wonder he's so handsome, no wonder he has special abilities, is it some kind of qigong?"

“No…” Shi Chen twitched the corner of his mouth and then reached out his hand to her.

"What is this?" Hoshino Ai stared at his hand and blinked.

"You're holding my hand, aren't you curious to see what it's like?"

"Oh~ so you weren't trying to take advantage of me." Hoshino Ai nodded and placed her small hand in his palm.

"...You little brat, how could you possibly gain an advantage?"

"But Shichen, aren't you a lolicon?"

"..."

Shi Chen ignored her, held her small hand tightly, and led her away from the store.

Her vision shifted, and Hoshino Ai found herself in a desolate wasteland.

She opened her eyes wide, her eyes bright, and turned around to look at her surroundings, realizing that this was the place where she and Shichen first met.

The two of them somehow moved from the coffee shop to this place in an instant.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Hoshino Ai couldn't help but exclaim.

"What is this? A superpower? Teleportation?" Hoshino Ai asked excitedly, grabbing Toki's arm.

"No, this is magic."

"Magic? Really? Shichen, you can actually use magic?"

"Haven't you already experienced it firsthand? See?"

As Shichen spoke, he raised his index finger, and golden flames emerged from the tip of his finger.

"Flames! That's amazing!" Hoshino Ai exclaimed, even more excited.

"Right?" Shi Chen couldn't help but nod smugly.

"Is this also magic? Can I learn it?"

"You can learn if you want, but why should I teach you?" Shi Chen asked with a smile.

"Shichen, aren't you a lolicon? And I'm a loli, so you don't want to teach me?"

"...I'm unwilling."

"Hey, why?"

"There are so many little girls in the world, am I supposed to teach them all?"

"That seems to be true... but I really want to learn, is there any way?"

"Don't ask me, figure it out yourself."

“Really? I understand!” Hoshino Ai nodded seriously.

"Hmm? You've come up with a solution?"

"It's simple, all I have to do is make you fall in love with me!" Hoshino Ai smiled brightly.

"...Then good luck."

"Hey? Shichen, you're not denying it?"

"What's there to deny? If I could like you, I would definitely be willing to teach you."

"Oh, that's good!"

"But let me warn you beforehand, I like a lot of people~"

"Oh~ so Shichen, you're still a womanizer."

"Good to know... Let's go back."

"Huh? Can't you demonstrate some other magic?"

"Let's talk about it next time."

"Ok."

The two returned to the coffee shop, but there were still no customers.

Hoshino Ai quickly calmed down. She finished the remaining cookies and juice, and then prepared to leave.

"It's time, so I'll head back now."
