Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

Hoshino Ai gave an awkward smile and explained, "President, you've misunderstood. Shichen was the one who brought him."

"You brought him? Then we absolutely cannot let him go!"

"You've misunderstood! Shichen came because of me, not to join the firm."

"Uh...is that so?" Saito Ichigo asked Saito Kyoko blankly.

"Indeed."

"You... I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Saito Ichigo immediately released his grip on the clock and bowed in apology.

"It's alright, it's alright, I don't mind." Shi Chen took a step back and waved his hand.

"Phew—I'm sorry to have made you laugh. You came here for something about love? What is it?" Saito Ichigo took a deep breath and became serious.

Shichen also went straight to the point: "I want to make love go to school."

"Going to school, but it's also an identity of love..."

"I can handle this."

"Can you solve this? That's great! Then Ai can go to school."

Saito Ichigo, it's very clear that he only wants to be with someone.

"You agree?"

"I certainly agree that Ai can go to school, but there's one problem... Why are you helping Ai?"

“Because I’m a good person.” Shichen looked at Hoshino Ai and smiled slowly.

"Good person... What is your relationship with Mr. Shichen? How do you know him?"

“I took the initiative to contact him!” Hoshino Ai replied.

"Really? Then it seems there's no problem... Mr. Shichen, what do you want?"

"I do not want anything."

"You really are a good person?"

"More or less, but there are a few things related to love."

"As long as you agree."

"That's great..."

"But may I make a request?" Saito Ichigo suddenly asked.

"what?"

"Please join our firm!"

Chapter 271 A Heart-to-Heart Talk with Hoshino Ai

After leaving the office and returning to the coffee shop, Tokichi brought Hoshino Ai with him.

Starting today, Hoshino Ai will be living at the coffee shop with Tohru and the others.

Tokimatsu successfully persuaded Saito Ichigo, but at a price: he signed with an agency and became an entertainer.

He had no interest in being a star or idol, nor in making movies or TV series, but he had to sacrifice that so that Hoshino Ai could live in the coffee shop.

Actually, Saito Ichigo is a nice person and cares a lot about Hoshino Ai. He didn't intend to use this to threaten Tokimatsu; he just mentioned it casually. Even if Tokimatsu doesn't agree to join the agency, he will compromise for Hoshino Ai's sake.

After all, living in Tokimatsu is very convenient for Hoshino Ai, and she also has peers to keep her company.

Tokichi told Saito Ichigo about the benefits of Hoshino Ai living in a coffee shop.

In the end, it was Tokimatsu himself who agreed, because by joining the agency as an artist, he could protect Hoshino Ai.

With his qualifications and abilities, he could easily make it in this industry, and with him protecting her, Hoshino Ai could also walk on flat ground.

Another important reason is that by entering this circle, he might meet one or two adorable little ones in the future.

He only wanted to run into acquaintances; that was his main purpose in coming to this dimensional world.

When Shichen joined the agency, he not only became an artist, but also one of the managers.

It's very simple. Right now, Ichigo Production is still a small studio, so he only needs to invest a little money.

He can use brute force, but it's better to use money to solve problems that can be solved with money.

As one of the people in charge, he gained a voice and could do whatever he wanted, even making arrangements for Hoshino Ai at will.

Although he didn't need to go through all that trouble.

Back at the coffee shop, Toki and Hoshino Ai did not return the way they came, but instead used spatial teleportation.

Hoshino Ai had already witnessed it, so she wasn't surprised. However, she had remained silent ever since she left the agency.

I wasted a lot of time at the firm, and by the time I got back it was almost noon.

There were quite a few guests at this time, and when Shichen and Hoshino Ai came in, Nishiki Chizuka didn't have time to pay attention to them.

However, Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue were very skilled and did not panic at all. The two kept delivering food, passing each other by with ease.

Shichen waved to the two of them and then took Hoshino Ai upstairs.

This was Hoshino Ai's first time upstairs. When she followed Shichen into his room, she was shocked to see a space that was completely different from what she had seen from the outside, and a bed that was so big. She couldn't help but gape.

"What's going on with this room? Why is it so big? And this huge bed...?"

"You know I have special abilities," Shi Chen replied with a smile.

"So that's it..."

"Come, sit down for a while." Shichen pulled Hoshino Ai to the bedside and sat her down, holding her on his lap.

"Hmph~ Toki, you're not planning to do anything to me, are you? Didn't you say before that I wasn't anything special?" Hoshino Ai wasn't nervous at all, and turned around to tease him.

"What's going on in your head?" Shi Chen poked her forehead in annoyance.

"Hmm... so what do you want to do?"

"Of course I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you." Shi Chen hugged her tightly, holding her like a doll.

“Let’s have a heart-to-heart talk…” Hoshino Ai turned her head away, her head lowered.

"Love."

Shi Chen rested his chin on her left shoulder and asked softly, "Why didn't you say a word when you came back? Is it because you can't bear to leave that place?"

“You came back so quickly, what can I say?” Hoshino Ai tilted her head to look at him and asked in return.

"I'm asking you seriously," Shi Chen said with a gentle smile.

"Ok."

Hoshino Ai pursed her lips and slowly replied, "Actually, I don't have much affection for the president and the others. We didn't spend much time together, but I'm very grateful to the president for taking me away from that place."

"Mm." Shi Chen nodded gently.

That place was naturally the place where Hoshino Ai had originally lived; for her, it wasn't a place worth lingering over.

Hoshino Ai continued, "I was just wondering if I had made things difficult for you by not saying anything?"

"Because of me?"

"Hmm... Shichen, do you not want to join an agency, and don't want to be an artist?"

"Why do you think so?"

"Because you were very reluctant at first, right? It must be because of me..."

"Hehe~ You might have some misunderstanding about President Qiteng." Shichen laughed.

"Misunderstand?"

"You don't actually think he's just using you, do you? He's nice to you because you can help him make money?"

“It’s not that bad…” Hoshino Ai shook her head.

"Yes, he does want you to become an idol and make money, but he also cares about you a lot. The two are not contradictory."

"I understand, Shichen, what do you mean?"

"President Saito, even if I didn't agree to join the agency, he would still let you stay here with me. It was my own choice," Toki explained with a smile.

"Huh? Why?" Hoshino Ai looked at her in confusion.

"Just think of it as me having a playful moment and wanting to be an entertainer for fun."

"How could it be because of something like that..."

"What's impossible? I possess special abilities, I'm not bound by this world, so why wouldn't I want to experience some fun?"

“I don’t believe it anyway,” Hoshino Ai said, pursing her lips.

"You don't believe me? What can I do then? I've already joined the firm."

"Why don't you just quit?"

"Haha~"

Shi Chen chuckled and ruffled her hair: "Don't worry, I really just want to be an artist for fun, not just for you."

"Really?"

"Don't you want to believe me?"

"I see."

"Ah."

Shi Chen gently rubbed her head: "You don't need to be polite with me in the future. Even if you cause me trouble, it's okay. Just treat yourself as my family."

"Huh?" Hoshino Ai was stunned.

"Isn't this why you came to me?" Shi Chen smiled.

"You...you noticed?"

"It's possible that my special abilities brought you to me, but how could I not know your true purpose?"

"Is that so...?"
