Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

"Astarothie, your creator is dead. You are now my blood servant, and I am your master. Is that alright?"

“—Command received.” Astarothie replied quietly.

"My name is Shichen. You can call me Brother Chen. You don't need to call me Master."

"—Command received, Brother Chen."

"Hmm, not bad, not bad." Shi Chen nodded in satisfaction.

Unlike Yoshino and the others' soft, gentle voices, Astarothie's calm tone, like that of a kuudere (emotionless girl), was surprisingly pleasant to listen to.

“Teacher Shi…you really are…” Himeragi Yukina looked at him with difficulty, hesitant to speak.

"Huh? Yukina, you must have misunderstood. I just don't want to be called master." Toki explained righteously.

“I don’t believe it.” Himeragi Yukina said expressionlessly.

"It's true! Ogurora, you guys definitely believe me, right?"

"Hmph! I don't believe it! Shichen, you fickle, heartless bastard!" Aurora pouted unhappily and turned her head away.

"Womanizer? Where did you learn that word?"

"Of course, my classmates taught me."

"Don't learn bad things from them. You shouldn't play with them anymore."

"Hmph! Shi Chen, you're the wicked one! We're already here, yet you still try to harm others!"

"Nonsense! I just don't want Astarothie to die. She's so pitiful. Are you that kind of cold-blooded person?"

"Um... no..."

"That's settled then? Okay, don't be angry anymore. I'll buy you a few more ice creams later, alright?" Shi Chen stood up and came to her.

"Am I that easy to please?"

"Then what else do you want?"

"I want to eat more chocolate candy."

"No problem." Shi Chen smiled and patted her head.

"Hehe~" Aurora calmed down immediately, squinting her eyes to enjoy Shichen's head pat.

"..." Himeragi Yukina didn't expect Ogura to be so easy to fool.

No wonder Teacher Shi is always flirting with other women; she can't keep an eye on him at all.

There was no other way this time; Astarothie shouldn't have died. But she felt she wouldn't let Teacher Shi harm little girls again in the future.

"Astarothie, let's go together. After we finish shopping, we'll take you home, and you can live with us from now on." Shichen waved to Astarothie, who was standing motionless in place.

"—Command received." Astarothie calmly followed Shichen.

After buying the ice cream, Shichen took Ogura and the others back, as they had been delayed quite a bit because of Astarothie's matter.

If they don't go back soon, Nangong Nayue will come looking for them.

"Teacher Shi, I'll head back now?" Himeragi Yukina walked towards her front door.

"Okay, goodnight, go to sleep early, you have class tomorrow."

"Okay, goodnight, Teacher Shi, and goodnight to you all, including Augurola."

"Okay, you should go home now." Aurora waved her hand dismissively.

Himeragi Yukina didn't care. She opened the door, glanced at the time one last time, went into the room, and closed the door.

Shichen and Ogurola also headed home, with Astarothie following silently behind.

"Astarothie, this is your home from now on, please don't be shy."

"—Command received." Astarothie glanced at the address and silently memorized it.

Shichen pushed open the door and led the way into the room.

"You actually knew to come back? Were you out there doing something inappropriate with Aurora and the others...? Who is she? An artificial life form? And what did you do?"

Before Nangong Nayue could finish speaking, her attention fell on Astarothie, who had followed her in, and she immediately recognized her identity.

"That month, her name is Astarothie."

"What? You brought him back?" Nangong Nayue looked at Shichen expressionlessly; she was clearly angry.

"Don't rush, I'll explain it to you slowly." Shi Chen came up behind Nangong Nayue and massaged her shoulders.

"I'd like to see what you can say, and I hope it will satisfy me."

"I guarantee your satisfaction."

Shichen gestured for Astarothie to sit down on the sofa before beginning to explain the situation.

It wasn't too troublesome, since he had only been in contact with the man in the robes for a short time before he dealt with him, preventing some things from happening.

However, given his attitude of treating artificial life forms like tools, and the fact that he killed the demons of Itogami Island, he was deserving of the death penalty.

"...So that's how it is. So you brought this girl back?" Nangong Nayue's tone was much calmer.

"I can't just leave her to fend for herself, can I?"

"So, you drank her blood?"

"There's nothing we can do about it... Why do you care about this kind of thing, Na Yue?"

"Is there a problem? I just suspect you might have ulterior motives."

"What could I possibly want? Can't you trust me a little more, Yue?" Shi Chen said, his voice trembling with pain.

“My trust in you dwindled when Augurola and the others came to this house.”

"..."

"Her name is Astarothie, right? Looking at her like that, it's hard for me not to believe you have other ideas."

“That month…” Shi Chen’s lips twitched.

Why is everyone suspecting that his interests are unusual?

Whether it's Ogura and her friends or Akatsuki and her friends, it's all just a coincidence.

“But since you’ve already brought her back, I can’t possibly kick her out.” Nangong Nayue changed the subject.

“That month…” Shi Chen laughed.

"However, just in case, I'll keep Astarothie with me."

"What do you mean by 'just in case'? How could I possibly do anything to Astarothie? She's so young."

"What have you done to Ogurora and the others? What else is impossible?" Nangong Nayue glanced back at him.

“Um…” Ogurora lowered her head shyly.

"Well... actually, they're not young anymore, they're different."

"I think you're not someone who cares about age; appearance is more important to you."

"..."

"I'm just keeping Astarothie with me; I just happen to need an assistant... Why are you reacting so strongly?"

"No, I just don't want to be misunderstood."

"Then you should just agree."

"Fine......"

"That's more like it. You should talk to her about it."

"Alright, Astarothie, from now on you'll be helping out with Nagatsuki, okay?"

"—Command received, Brother Chen," Astarothie replied calmly, without any objection.

"Brother Chen?" Nangong Nayue squinted at Shi Chen.

"Ahem, she originally wanted to call me master, but I don't like being called that," Shi Chen explained.

"Is that so..." Nangong Nayue looked at Aurora and Xiaowu questioningly.

“That’s true.” Xiao Wu nodded.

“I think Shichen just wants to hear Astarothie call him that,” Augurora said, pursing her lips.

“I think so too.” Nangong Nayue nodded.

"..."

Chapter 419 Aiba Asagi Makes a Decision

The next day, Shi Chen was woken up by the doorbell. He came out of the room wearing plus-size pants and shirtless.

Nangong Nayue and the others left long ago, otherwise he wouldn't be like this. Currently, it's just him and Nina at home.

Nina is practically dispensable.

He doesn't have PE class today, so it doesn't matter if he goes to school a little late.

Upon arriving at the door, Shichen opened it without even looking to see who it was, and the person standing there was both unexpected and unsurprising.

"Snow Vegetable? What brings you here?" Shichen asked in confusion.

"Teacher Shi, where are your clothes?!" Himeragi Yukina's attention was immediately drawn to Shichen's upper body. She only glanced at him before turning away, blushing.

A boy's body!

This was the first time she had ever seen it!

"Oh? Oh, I almost forgot... You come in first, I'll go change my clothes."

"Teacher Shi, hurry up, I'm going to be late!" Himeragi Yukina hurriedly reminded her.

"Then why don't you hurry up and go to school?"

"I'm the teacher's watcher, I'm going with the teacher!"

"..." Shichen then remembered Himeragi Yukina's mission, and he realized what was going on.
