Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

"Xiao Wu, do you also want to... hug Teacher Shi?" Himeragi Yukina saw through Xiao Wu's thoughts.

"Yes." Xiao Wu nodded in agreement.

"So you like Teacher Shi?"

"I like the time of day the most."

"Is it because he let you go?"

"Do you know who we are?" Xiao Wu frowned as she looked at her.

"Yes."

"I see, so that's why you were eyeing the time."

"Yes," Himeragi Yukina admitted.

"Since Shi Chen doesn't care, I won't do anything to you. But you should know that if you have any bad intentions towards Shi Chen, I won't give you the chance," Xiao Wu said coldly.

"Hmm..." Himeragi Yukina felt as if she were being stared at by a wild beast.

Flamelight Night Lord is indeed no pushover.

"There's another point. I like Shichen, not because she let us go, nor because he saved us, but simply because he's very kind to me, so I like him very much."

"Am I good to you...?" Himeragi Yukina looked at Toki, who was cooperating with Ogura and the others, with a bright smile.

Chapter 412 Pinky Promise

Upon arriving at school, Shichen parted ways with Aurora and the others, heading to the office alone. However, he stopped after only a few steps.

"Why are you still following me?" Shichen turned around and looked helplessly at Himeragi Yukina, who had been secretly following him.

"Um..." Himeragi Yukina didn't expect to be discovered. She lowered her head and stood there embarrassedly, her toes pointing inward.

"What's the matter with you?"

"No..." Himeragi Yukina bit her lip, hesitating to speak.

"Hey, don't try to hide it from me. Just tell me what you want to do, and I'll go along with it."

"R-Really?" Himeragi Yukina looked at him in disbelief.

"As a teacher, I am still quite tolerant of my students," Shi Chen said with a smile.

"Isn't it because I look like a loli?" Himeragi Yukina couldn't help but ask back.

"?"

"No... um, it's nothing." Himeragi Yukina shook her head awkwardly.

"Hey, how can you call yourself a loli?" Shi Chen's lips twitched.

"Hmm..." Himeragi Yukina blushed deeply with embarrassment.

"Alright, tell me why you're following me."

"Um, Ms. Shi... you won't just leave the school without permission, will you?"

"What? You want to monitor me anytime? Afraid I'll do something wrong?"

"Yes." Himeragi Yukina mustered her courage, raised her head, and looked at him firmly.

Her face was still flushed.

Since Shi Chen already knows her identity and has said he doesn't care, she might as well just confess honestly.

"Why do you think I would do something bad?" Shi Chen walked up to her step by step.

“That… because you are the Fifth True Ancestor, and you also devoured the strongest Fourth True Ancestor.”

"Just because of this? You should have a lot of information about me, right? Have I ever done anything heinous?"

"......No."

"That's settled then. Itogami Island is my territory, and I won't damage it, especially since I'm a teacher of high moral character now."

"Of noble character..."

"Do you have any opinion?"

"A teacher of high moral character...would not engage in any intimate behavior with his or her students."

"Himehime... never mind, I'll just call you Yukina, do you mind?"

"It's okay, it's alright."

“Then, Yukina, I want to clarify something. It’s not because I’m a teacher that I have intimate behavior with my students. Rather, our relationship developed from a close one to a teacher-student one,” Shichen emphasized.

According to Himeragi Yukina, it makes it seem like he's a teacher who has ulterior motives towards his students.

Even in this fantasy world where demons and humans coexist, even if teacher-student relationships are not a problem at all, they cannot be misunderstood.

"Is that so...? Does that mean that you had feelings for Nagisa and the others a long time ago, Teacher Toki? They were even younger then, weren't they?" Yukina Himeragi asked thoughtfully.

"...What are you thinking about all day long? Why do you always think about that? Did someone tell you something?" Shi Chen flicked her forehead in annoyance.

“Hmm…the Three Saints didn’t say anything.” Himeragi Yukina covered her forehead.

"The Three Saints... Who sent you to monitor me?"

"I am not sure."

"Not sure?"

"Yes, they didn't let me see their true colors."

"Looks like you're not qualified."

“That’s how it is…” Himeragi Yukina couldn’t refute it; after all, she was just a low-level employee.

"Don't worry, your status will rise soon."

"?" Himeragi Yukina tilted her head and looked at him, puzzled.

"It's okay if you don't understand, you'll find out later." Shi Chen chuckled and posed a riddle.

"..."

"Alright, class is about to start, you should go to your classroom now. I promise you, I won't go anywhere. If I really have to leave school, I'll let you know, okay?"

"really?"

"I'm not kidding... how about we pinky swear?" Shi Chen stretched out his hand and raised his little finger.

"Pinky promise?" Yukina Himeragi blinked.

"You don't understand what pinky swear means?"

"I understand, but..."

"That's fine."

Without saying a word, Shichen grabbed her hand and hooked his little finger with hers.

"Hang yourself with a hook, and it won't change for a hundred years."

"...What kind of vow is this?" Himeragi Yukina seemed a little embarrassed.

"This is my oath, and I won't break it. Go now," Shi Chen patted her shoulder and urged her.

"Oh... then I'm leaving." Himeragi Yukina pursed her lips, turned around and walked towards the teaching building, turning back every three steps until she was completely inside.

Shi Chen chuckled and shook his head, then turned and walked toward his office.

There was no physical education class this morning, so Shi Chen enjoyed a half-day of leisure. At noon, he went to the student cafeteria alone.

It's rather rare for a teacher to appear in the cafeteria, but Shi Chen's appearance is nothing new, since he shows up every day.

Besides, he's a physical education teacher, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

But as a teacher, he can still cut in line when getting food.

After getting their food, Shi Chen just found a seat when Xiao Nagisa and the others arrived.

Himeragi Setsuna was also there, of course.

"Teacher Shi!"

"Time!"

"Yes, you're here. Xia Yin, are you not taking the day off today?" Shichen asked Ye Se Xia Yin.

Even with Ogura and the others around, Natsume Yase was still so dazzling, shining alone like a bright holy light.

Ogura and the others are more like the colors of a rainbow.

"Yes, Teacher Shi, I'm sorry to have worried you," Ye Se Xia Yin replied softly with a gentle smile.

Shi Chen looked him over, and seeing nothing amiss, nodded: "It's good that you're alright, go get your food."

"Shichen, wait for us here for a moment."

"Row."

Aurora and the others rushed to the window; there was no rush to eat.

While we waited for them, Yiyi and the others arrived one after another. They formed small groups of two or three, along with other people, and had already fully integrated into their respective classes.

"Teacher Shi."

A short while later, Asagi and the others arrived.

"Asagi, you're so late?" Tokishi replied with a smile.

"Um, the teacher kept me late for class... Teacher, wait for me, Lun, hurry up."

"Asagi, don't run so fast! Teacher Shi won't run away!" Tsukijima Rin quickly caught up.

“Teacher Shi, we went too,” Xiao Gucheng said.

"Go on, hurry up." Shi Chen waved his hand dismissively, shooing him away without any politeness.

Since Xiaogucheng and the others entered high school, Shichen has had slightly less contact with them, except on weekends.

Because of Akatsuki Nagisa and Aiba Asagi, it's impossible for Toki to not see them.
