Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

"Okay, okay..."

The giant octopus replied, "Actually, we were all laid off from our homelands and then wandered into this universe."

"Layoffs?" Kotegawa Yui's expression was strange.

"So, you created the illusion of ghosts to prevent outsiders from coming here?"

"Yes, yes, we have not harmed anyone on this planet."

"Don't worry, I won't blame you. Anyway, I need your help."

"help?"

"Don't worry about it for now. I'll arrange work for you. If I need anything from you, just remember to come."

"Find us jobs? Really?"

"Why would I need to lie to you, right, Mr. Mikado?" Toki suddenly turned around and said.

"Oh dear~ I've been found out." Ryoko Mikado, dressed in a white lab coat, walked out with a smile.

"Huh? Mr. Mikado?" Yui Kotegawa exclaimed in surprise, "Could Mr. Mikado be an alien too?"

"Haha~ Didn't expect that, did you?" Ryoko Mikado readily admitted.

"...I'm not surprised anymore."

"Haha~ Okay, let's get down to business first."

Ryoko Mikado approached the aliens and said, "I have an alien friend who runs an amusement park. You can work in the haunted house there."

"really?"

"Don't worry, I won't lie to you. You might not know, but Princess Deviluke and Golden Shadow are here too~" Ryoko Mikado gestured to Lala and An.

"Huh--!"

"Really? We didn't mean it, please let us go!"

Some aliens even knelt down.

"Hehe~ It's okay, you guys don't need to worry about it, I think it's quite fun," Lala replied cheerfully.

"really?"

"That's great...!"

"Then, Ms. Mikado, I'll leave them to you," Tokimitsu said to Ryoko Mikado.

“No problem, but doesn’t the principal owe me a favor?” Ryoko Mikado asked with a smile.

"I owe you a favor? You already had plans for them, didn't you? Oh well, I'll just consider it owing you a favor," Shi Chen replied nonchalantly.

"Thank you very much, Principal." Ryoko Mikado said with a smile.

"Is it... over?" Yui Kotegawa asked.

"Oh dear~ I haven't had enough fun yet~" Lala said, a little unsatisfied.

"Lala, lunch break is almost over!"

"Hmm—okay..."

"We might have to wait a while," Shi Chen interjected with a smile.

"Ok?"

"Look there," Shichen gestured for everyone to look inside again.

Everyone looked over in confusion, then froze in shock. There stood a floating female figure dressed in a kimono, emanating a ghostly light and emitting eerie whispers.

She looked like... a ghost.

"thank you all."

The ghostly woman spoke, her voice soft and elegant: "In this way, I can return to my peaceful life."

"..."

No one answered, and Yui Kotegawa and the others were dumbfounded.

"Oh! I forgot to introduce myself."

The ghostly woman continued as if she remembered something: "I am Xiao Jing, who died here four hundred years ago. Hello."

She tilted her head, her smile sweet, but Yui Kotegawa and Risa Momioka didn't see it that way.

Chapter 246 No more Ri-shin falling

Before the lunch break ended, Shichen took Lala and the others back to the classroom.

Lala's enthusiasm remained undiminished, but Yui and the others were still somewhat shaken.

The fact that ghosts actually exist is terrifying for the people of this planet, who are so deeply influenced by ghost culture.

However, Xiaojing meant no harm, so Shichen let her stay there. It was just for the afternoon class, and it was unclear whether Kotegawa Yui and the others would still be in the mood to attend.

Xiao An didn't leave. Holding the old books she had found, she followed Shi Chen back to the principal's office.

She didn't stand on ceremony and immediately took his seat as soon as she came in.

There's a sofa in the office for receiving guests, but with Xiao An there, how could Shi Chen possibly sit alone?

He followed her behind the desk and picked up Xiao An.

"W-what do you want to do?" Xiao An asked nervously.

"You're taking up my spot and then asking me what I want to do?" Shi Chen sat in the chair and placed Xiao An on his lap.

Xiao An sat stiffly, motionless.

Shi Chen put his arm around her slender waist and leaned back in his chair.

"Alright, you can continue reading."

"How am I supposed to look at you like this?" Xiao An's delicate face was a little rosy.

"What's wrong with looking at it? I didn't do anything lewd to you."

"You're already holding me..."

"Don't worry, I'll stay like this."

"..."

Xiao An sat there stiffly for a while, and found that Shi Chen had indeed not made any moves, and had even closed his eyes to rest.

She suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, ignored the warm hand coming from her abdomen, and continued reading her book.

......

After school, Shichen took Lala to the shopping street to buy groceries, along with Xiao'an and Kotegawa Yui.

Esther also appeared and rode on her neck.

Today is Friday, and Yui Kotegawa is not going home tonight. She's staying at Tokimatsu's house to play, but it wasn't him who invited her; it was Lala who invited her.

Not the first time either.

Anyway, since there's time available, I can go back whenever I want.

Tonight I plan to make sukiyaki, so that Xiao An can try a different kind of food, and it can also celebrate that it's the weekend again.

After buying a lot of ingredients, Shichen and the others walked back.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. You'll start sweating even if you just walk around a bit, but we're all going to take a shower together later, so it's okay to sweat.

Of course, the time of day cannot be included.

On the way, Shichen couldn't help but ask Kotegawa Yui a question that was on his mind: "Yui, is your class president dating someone?"

"Class monitor? You mean Sairenji-kun?" Kotegawa Yui asked back.

"is her."

“Sairenji-kun…it seems he’s dating that guy named Yuuki…I think they get along pretty well,” Kotegawa Yui replied uncertainly.

"Huh—is Haruna dating someone?" Lala asked in surprise.

"Lala, what are you surprised about? Aren't you also dating Brother Chen?"

"Yeah, right~ Hehe~" Lala scratched her head and giggled.

"Are Lala and Xilian Temple on good terms?" Shichen continued to ask.

"It's alright. Haruna is a very nice person; she's always taken care of me."

“I see…” Shi Chen nodded.

"Wait, you don't have any feelings for Haruna, do you?" Kotegawa Yui stared at him.

"...How did you come to this conclusion?" Shi Chen looked at her speechlessly.

"Then why did you suddenly ask about Sairenji? It's obvious you have ulterior motives."

"...I was just asking casually."

"I do not believe."

"Sigh." Shichen shook his head helplessly: "Actually, I'm interested in that guy named Yuuki."

"Yuki-kun? Why are you interested in him?"

"I'm the principal, isn't it normal for me to show concern?"

"You care about male classmates?"

“I agree,” Xiao An, who was munching on a taiyaki, suddenly interjected.

"Xiao An, give it to me!" Shi Chen snatched the taiyaki from her hand.

"What are you doing? Give it back to me!"

"That's all!" Shi Chen stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it vigorously.

“You…” Xiao An stared at him, her face flushed.
